Did you know ?
On average, a automobile clear coat will absorb approximately one pint of water when the vehicle is subjected to a heavy rain if not protected?
Acid rain, salt, atmospheric pollution, insect fluids, and bird droppings wage a constant war on your car's finish. Waxing provides an easily renewable, transparent barrier between the finish and a hostile environment.
A ten-year-old car that has been waxed twice a year will probably have a better shine then when it was new. It will also command a higher resale value and be easier to sell.
If rain water does not bead on the painted surfaces of your car, it's time to wax it. How often you have to wax your car is dependent on the type of wax you use and how good you want your car to look. Some of the new synthetic waxes will last more than a year.
Carnauba Waxes
Carnauba comes from the fronds of the "Tree of Life" (Copernica Cerifera) native to northern Brazil. It is nature's hardest, purest, and most transparent wax. Carnauba car waxes tend to produce a deeper, darker, richer shine that is often described as "three-dimensional".
Many enthusiasts and show-car owners prefer the shine of carnauba waxes, especially on black, red, and dark color cars. Carnauba waxes bead water nicely, absorb the acid content in rain and hide minor swirls in the paint.
On the minus side, carnauba waxes are not as durable as synthetic waxes. Depending on your climate, they typically last 90 days.
Synthetic Waxes
Made from modern polymers and acrylic resins, synthetic waxes offer maximum durability and ease of application. Synthetic waxes can last six to nine months or longer and. These waxes, sometimes called sealants, create a very bright shine.

Hello Dolphins!
Lots of things to tell you this time around...:)
The pool will be closed for about a week while the sand filter is being replaced. Coach Tyler will be doing dry land training from 3:30-4:30 every practice day while the pool is closed. Don't want to lose your conditioning with the big meet coming up!
Our Winter Games is January 28-29. Sign-ups for the meet will be on January 19 and 20 at the pool. A board member will be there each of those days to assist with your entries. Each swimmer can compete in a maximum of 10 events. This is a really fun meet, and the community comes out to support the team.
Since the pool is closed, Coach Tyler wanted to have a fun event for the team. On Wednesday, January 18, all swimmers can come to the pool lobby at 3:30 p.m. to watch the movie Dolphin Tale, and eat popcorn! This event is open to the kiddos in swim lessons as well. Should be a blast!
The Swimathon comes right on the heels of the Winter Games! Are you ready to raise some funds for your team? A team Swimathon Kickoff Pool Party is scheduled for February 17. All team members should plan on attending! Prizes will be revealed too...:) Parents, this is our one big fundraiser each season. We greatly rely on the funds that are brought in. Think of ways you can support your child as they raise money for their team. The Swimathon is scheduled for Saturday, March 31. For those kids who are taking swim lessons, you are included in the Swimathon fundraising as well!
We are waiting to send the swim suit order in, because there are several kids who haven't been here to order them yet.
Ok, I think that's all for this letter. Have a great weekend, everyone!
Rachelle Galinski, President
Haines Dolphins

What is a beacon
A beacon is a warning signal light on a high place where it can easily be seen. A chain of beacon fires lighted on one hilltop after another could signal a warning for hundreds of miles.
A beacon is a warning signal light on a high place where it can easily be seen. Hundreds of years ago people were warned of the coming of an enemy army by fires lighted on the tops of hills or mountains. Sometimes a chain of beacon fires lighted on one hilltop after another could signal a warning for hundreds of miles. Mount Beacon on the Hudson River in southeastern New York State got its name from the signal fires that were lighted on its top by American soldiers during the Revolutionary War.
Today the word beacon means a lighthouse, floating light, or any other kind of light placed along a seacoast to warn ships at night to keep away from dangerous rocks or places where the water is not deep enough for a ship. A lighthouse is a tall tower with a light at the top protected by glass all around from rain and wind. The light may be green, white, or red or a combination of any of these colors. It may flash on and off, turn around all the time, or just shine steadily. Such lights are usually turned on at night by a lightkeeper who lives in the tower and takes care of the complicated machinery that works the light. Light buoys are also used as beacons. These are steel floats with a glass-enclosed light in a five- or six-foot steel tower. They are anchored by chains to the sea bottom and often turn themselves on at night and then turn out the light at dawn.

Secret Traffic System… Honest Review!
July 27th, 2010
As you may know by now that a new traffic system is about to soon be released. The Official launch date of Secret Traffic System is scheduled for June 29th. I've had the privilege to follow along with the creators of this fantastic Course. The system basically consists of 4 Modules, each with a specific task to drive targeted traffic to any Niche using automated system modules.
Look at this Secret Traffic System video.
In Module 1 Robert and Bob Cover Their closely guarded secrets to pulling their absolute best converting keywords that everyone else just plain forgets about.
In module 2 Bob Beckett teaches you the art of the funnel and how if you don't have this in your current business plan… you are both destined for failure and also leaving tons of money on the table. It's a true money making machine.
He also goes over how to setup your very own custom capture pages in under 20 minutes flat including how to get them up and running from scratch using their very powerful… but simple template that you get to basically steal from us.
Check out Secret Traffic System.
In Module 3 Robert Phillips goes over how he generates HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of views to whatever video he demands. This resorts in an unlimited flow of leads and sales to virtually anything he wants to sell and build lists in the most unique niches
In the last module… you're going to want to watch these videos very closely and maybe even a few times over… because what Robert Phillips is going to go over can literally make you more money than you can ever imagine. Just sit there for a second and picture yourself taking the secret buyer keywors you learn in module one… and turning that into plain out pure cash by setting up what we call "mini cash cannons" all over the net like a giant web… grabbing everything and anything in it's path
This will be the traffic system of the century when it comes to searching, finding the right Niche's, and automating the process of driving Epic amounts of traffic to any project you are working. It almost sounds like I am a paid spokesperson, but believe me I am not. What's got me excited is I have witnessed the power of just one of these modules and I can only imagine what it is going to be like when I go though the whole course.
Get your Secret Traffic System.

Your Mommy Kills Animals
Guild Wars 2, a great game. Even better when played with friends. EVEN even better when played with your girlfriend ^^
XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Very good and very interesting. Good gameplay and good story.
No, this is still Earth. Same old sucky Earth. Sucky, sucky, sucky Earth. But as it turns out, the apocalypse started right next door to me, and since I wasn't particularly busy doing anything else...
The Mayans weren't wrong.
You're welcome
Didn't you read what he wrote? He'd use it on rage
So, you would rage if the government acts as it does now and you would rage if they "fix" everything to your preferences?
People are weird
I've read the Marvel Zombies comics and they were rather good, although as I am more of a "happy ending" kinda guy, I the story left a sour taste in my mouth
Can someone take care of this, I'm a bit busy with the zombie aspect of the apocalypse? Also, who's got asteroid duty?
Don't know about you guys, but I'm perfectly happy here fighting off the zombie apocalypse so it doesn't spread to your timezone.
You're welcome
Leaders are only as good as their followers, there's no shame or embarrassment in being a follower. Hell, if someone knows what they're doing, I'd be perfectly happy following them, less stress for...
IIIIIIIIII ain't got no boooooooodyyyy
A touch of everything :D
A ringleader in the beginning until I get tired of people being idiots, then I turn into a Libertine. After a while and the chaff has been weeded out, I'd enjoy the...
Hehe. Hehehe. Hehehehe. MWUAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAA!!! :D:D:D:D
I wouldn't exactly call us humans predators. Also cows are a whole lot docile than humans. Also, humans are a lot smarter than zombies (excluding maybe the smart ones)
Also, if the corridor was littered with stuff, CJ may not have been able to use the katana to it's full effect. Also, Scratch has probably had more experience with her knife than CJ has had with her...
Zombie porn!
Aww man, again you guys? I already laid that beast to rest once, don't go resurrecting it again. No one wants to have that icky on their plate.
But I would have to say no. You...
I would disagree. Andrea is one of the few likable characters left (one of the few likable characters throughout the show). She has found a place of safety and stability and is unaware of the less...
To be honest, I think it'd be a Hell In A Cell, Last Man Standing match with no referee
Darksiders 2 is proving to be everything I hoped it to be. I loved the first part a lot, and the second improves on that immensily. I am very very keen on learning how the story continues and finally...
Out of curiosity, if the movie ends up being entertaining (I'm not saying a cinematic masterpiece, but entertaining), but completely untrue to the source material except for the broadest possible...
I actually think your signature would possibly make for the most awesome, coolest zombie-anything ever!
I have to agree with the above two posters to a degree, it's not like the book and I'm not quite sold on it yet. However, adapting the book into a movie would have been very difficult, and I have...
Nah, they'll do a show called "We're a Hive: A breathtaking look at the bee and ant worlds after the apocalypse"
She could have also been scared at some point so bad that her hair turned a whiter color, not so scared as to turn entirely white, but just enough to make the hair go "All right, that was genuinely...

Greetings from Sister Bay, Door County.
Door County is one of my favorite places in the world. Growing up, my family would come up once a year and I always remember our time being filled with sledding, cherries, and board games. Last year, we revived the tradition and all 16 of us in my family – including the 6 grandkids – rent a house on the bay and spend a week together swimming, eating cherry donuts, skipping stones, and playing board games. Spending such concentrated time with family is always a bonus, especially amidst a rather crazy year for us.
Coming up this weekend, we have a wedding in Chippewa Falls, WI on Saturday and then we head out to Carmel, CA first thing in the morning for a wedding on Sunday afternoon. The Fifty Nifty rolls on.
That's all for this week.

Don't Say Gay?
A bill that would prohibit teachers from talking about issues regarding sexual orientation in the classroom before the ninth grade has advanced in Tennessee's Senate.
At COLAGE we know that many people with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ) parents face challenges and isolation because their families are not reflected in school curriculum or discussions. We also know that when bills like this are splashed across newspaper pages, twitter, and facebook, people with LGBTQ parents experience increased bullying and discrimination.
Families come in all shapes and sizes so it is vital for our youth that all families are celebrated in schools.
Stay tuned to COLAGE.org for upcoming related updates and action alerts.
Please donate to COLAGE today so that we can continue to advocate for a world in which all families are treated with respect and equality.

Cardiovascular Center
Faint & Fall - Facts
Fainting accounts for up to three percent of all emergency department visits and six percent of hospital admissions.
The causes of fainting depend on the age group and range from benign to serious conditions requiring immediate attention.
Patients with fainting spells see on the average three physicians over a period of several months and yet, a final diagnosis is made in only 50-70 percent of the cases.
Falling is a common problem in older people with significant impact on quality of life, morbidity and mortality.
One third of adults greater than 65 years old sustain at least one fall and the incidence increases to 42 percent in adults older than 75 years of age.
Adults with a history of falling have a two-thirds chance of falling again within the next year.
There are several risk factors for falling and unless they are all addressed, the recurrence rate is high.
Faints and falls have a significant impact on health care. For the overall population of the state of Utah, the total yearly payments were estimated to be more than $90 million for faint and more than $350 million for fall.

Active ingredients: Taurine, B6, B12, Caffeine, Guarana, Ginseng, Inositol
cost: $2.00 8.33 oz
Rating: 6.78 out of 10
calories 10
A very distinctive and different flavor that I have a incredibly hard time describing. It seems to have a muddy smell and flavor, I guess if you really like the natural flavors, this might appeal to you. It almost has a creamy citrus with a spicy tint to the taste, interesting to say the least. I definitely had not ever tasted anything quite like it. That being said it is supposed to be great because of the Noni fruit juice, "The only energy drink made with genuine Noni from Tahiti." I guess all the energy drink companies are jumping on the find the really weird new obscure health nut fruit and make it into the energy drink hence tapping multiple markets. You know it is probably not a bad plan, just don't put to much into all the weird fruits claims. In fact several companies have been sued for making medical claims about Noni juice that couldn't be backed up. It seems there are lots of testimonials but not much in the way of science to prove or disprove most of the arguments. Anyways, I am not here to judge the medicinal properties of this drink, I would rather just get into the energy drink part. In that side, it is damn unique in taste, something as I said above I can barely describe, so if your looking for something new, you really might dig this flavor. For energy not bad not great, I would put it pretty close to a standard can of red bull. There is stronger stuff on the market, but your not always looking for something more powerful are you? Anyways Hiro with a cool can, a taste you haven't had, and some weird fruit that is supposed to be amazing... I say Hiro is worth a shot, I think many might not like the taste, but some will really love it and find their new favor beverage.

Cammas' Poker Face
Groupama is the likely favorite to win the Volvo Ocean Race in early July with a current 23-point lead over second-place PUMA--but Franck Cammas is hardly ready to declare victory just yet. The French skipper says many things could still go wrong before he and Groupama become the second French skipper and team, respectively, to take the trophy since the first around-the-world race (the Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race) began in 1974.
The main issue is that the Lorient-to-Galway course during the last leg will be very short, which means there is much less room for error, Cammas says.
"If we lose time at the beginning, you can be last. If that were to happen en route to Galway, that is, if we make the wrong routing choice based on wrong assessments of the weather, then it will be difficult to make up for that mistake," Cammas said. "The shorter the leg, the greater the risk we have of finishing last."
And yet, with a 23-point lead, Groupama would have to flounder in the two In-Port Races and the final leg of the race. Second-place PUMA would have to win all three races if Groupama were to falter in order to take the trophy. All Groupama has to do is to place within the top three of the Lorient-Galway leg to declare victory.
Cammas also said that he would adopt a conservative sailing strategy during the Lorient-Galway leg, compared to the more radical risks he took when sailing between Lisbon and Lorient last week. During what was probably the closest leg in the history of the race with the leading boats often sailing within sight of each other after the Azores, Cammas acknowledged that he took major risks.
Averaging 21-25 knots Thursday night after losing about 10 miles due to a sail-lock malfunction that had to be fixed, Groupama took second-place from PUMA and was closing in on Telefonica's lead before Telefonica suffered significant rudder breakages that same night. But Groupama could have easily seen breakages as well, Cammas acknowledged. He said that he took the biggest gamble the entire race during the last 24 hours of the leg when he kept the larger fractional sail hoisted (Camper and PUMA scaled down to J2 and J4 sails, respectively) with wind speeds between 40-50 knots and large wave conditions. While running with the wind under a larger fractional mainsail at only one reef, the boat broached four times before reaching Lorient on Friday, but there were no breakages.
"We were really on the razor's edge," Cammas said, while noting that Groupama's strategy will be much more low-key going forward. "Let's just say that we will adopt a more defensive strategy."

Bayonet | |
Damage |
Range (explanation) |
6 feet |
Used by |
All teams |
HUD icon | |
- "Fix bayonets, use them if you have to!"
- — Sergeant Sullivan in "Little Resistance"
A Bayonet is either a knife or spike at the end of the barrel of a gun that can be used to increase melee range. It is found as a weapon attachment in Call of Duty: World at War and an unusable accessory in Call of Duty: World at War: Final Fronts.
Call of Duty: World at War Edit
The bayonet has a different length depending on the weapon and model, with the Mosin-Nagant's appearing to be the longest and Type 99 appearing to be the shortest. However, all bayonets allow the same melee distance in-game.
In the campaign the bayonet is most commonly found attached to Arisaka rifles dropped by Japanese Banzai Chargers, in which case the weapon is called the "Arisaka Bayonet". In Multiplayer, a bayonet stab will kill the enemy instantly just like the knife. In campaign, the enemy will get a sucking chest wound, and will stand while holding their wound in pain before dying.
Kills from the bayonet in multiplayer will count towards weapon challenges, with the exception of the M1A1 Carbine, M1 Garand and Kar98k, which go toward knife challenges.
The M1897 Trench Gun's bayonet has the ability to Gib enemies, a feature that no other bayonets have.
Weapons Available to Use WithEdit
Call of Duty: World at War: Final FrontsEdit
An unusable bayonet attached to a Type 99 in Final Fronts.In Call of Duty: World at War: Final Fronts, a Banzai Charger will drop a Type 99 rifle equipped with a bayonet. Although they can use this against the player, the player will not be able to stab the enemy with the bayonet since the melee action is performed with the rifle's butt stock.
Trivia Edit
Call of Duty: World at War Edit
- The bayonet is able to kill a dog at long ranges even before the dog is able to strike, but it misses quite often against them. A bayonet used rapidly is much slower than a knife attack rapidly, which means if the dog is missed with the first thrust, the player is left open to be attacked.
- On the Wii version, the bayonet stab only occurs when the aim assist feature is on.
- On the missions "Semper Fi", "Burn 'em Out" and "Blowtorch & Corkscrew", when the player stabs a Japanese Soldier, they will not bleed, and there will not be any blood stain/mark.
- The Mosin-Nagant uses a spike bayonet, and is the only weapon in the entire series using one.
- Bayonet stabs to the head count as headshots for the weapon it's attached to.
- In single player, if the player goes prone and uses the bayonet, the player will swipe the bayonet as if no enemy is around, even if there is one right in front of the player. Enemies hit by this move will still bleed out of their chest as if they had been stabbed.
- Even though Commisar Markhov says "With your bullets... with your bayonets... with your bare hands... do the same to their wretched soldiers!" bayonets never seem to appear in the level "Ring of Steel".

06 June 2008 06:15 [Source: ICIS news]
SINGAPORE (ICIS news)--Petrochemical prices rose in Asia on Friday, moving in line with firmer US crude oil futures, which rose above the $128/bbl (€81.92/bbl) level in Asian trade to $128.19/bbl (up $0.40/bbl from Thursday) by noon.
US crude futures for July delivery gained $5.49 on Thursday to settle at $127.79/bbl after the US dollar lost ground against the euro and speculators stepped in to acquire length.
The initial rally was capped briefly after the weekly supply statistics from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) revealed a much greater than forecast build in natural gas inventories. However, the rally resumed across the energy complex after the statistics were factored in.
Asian naphtha prices opened higher early Friday on firmer crude markets in the west, industry sources said.
Naphtha opened $35/tonne higher in Asia, with second half July indications pegged at $1,104.50-1,107.50/tonne CFR (cost and freight) Japan, first half August at $1,100.50-1,103.50/tonne and second half August at $1,097.50-1,100.50/tonne.
Benzene prices firmed $5/tonne to $1,275-1,285/tonne in line with crude. Market activities were slow due to a holiday in South Korea, with an offer heard at $1,295/tonne FOB (free on board) Korea against a bid at $1,267-1,270/tonne for July shipment.
Discussions in the toluene market ground to a halt with the public holiday in South Korea. Prices were notionally rolled over from Thursday's close at $1,190-1,200/tonne FOB Korea.
Styrene monomer (SM) prices were lifted by buoyant crude values. Offers for SM were heard at $1,640/tonne FOB Korea for second half June parcels and $1,650/tonne for July cargoes, up $10-20/tonne on the previous day. In east China, prices similarly rebounded to yuan (CNY) 13,500-13,600/tonne ($1,942-1,957/tonne) ex-tank, around CNY25-100/tonne higher than Thursday.
Desmond Chia, Mahua Chakravarty, Clive Ong and Ignacio Sotolongo contributed to the story($1 = €0.64 = CNY6.95)

Stephen Nessen, Reporter, WNYC News
Stephen Nessen reports for the WNYC Newsroom and can often be heard live on Morning Edition.
As city restaurants search for ever more locally sourced foods, the Waldorf-Astoria has enlisted some very buzzy workers for the task.
On the 20th floor of the hotel, 50-70,000 European honey bees check in and out of six hives. Each of the copper-roofed structures has its own name, and its own queen. There's: I (bee) NY, Empire Hive of Mind, the Royal Hive (painted the same baby blue as the Royal suite), Waldorf Hive of Fame (with the names of celebrity guests painted on the side), Presidential Sweet and one hive that remains to be named.
The hives were installed in April and are expected to produce 400-500 pounds of honey. The Waldorf uses about 1,000 pounds of honey a year, according to Meg Towner, the social media manager at the hotel.
Urban beekeeping has exploded since 2010 when the city legalized rooftop hives.
The InterContinental New York Times Square hotel and the Ace Hotel both have rooftop hives.
There are 160 registered hives in the city, said Andrew Cote, the president of the New York City Beekeepers Association. But Cote says there may be as many as 400, since many bumbling bee keepers fail to notify the Department of Health, which is legally required 30 days after establishing a hive.
Cote is a full time beekeeper, tends the Waldorf-Astoria hives and lobbied the city to legalize bee keeping. He's noticed that certain neighborhoods have too many hives now. He pinpointed areas like the East Village, Williamsburg, Greenpoint and Park Slope as neighborhoods that have more bees than flowers for pollination.
"Essentially, the foraging ground in some areas is being divided so much as to render the foraging grounds for the bees inadequate. Inadequate for excess honey and for their own sustainment," he said.
He compares it to splitting one cookie between two kids, and a classroom full of kids. "Now more kids are eating this cookie. And that's not good."
Cote visits the bees at the Waldorf once a week to check for disease and to makes sure the queen is healthy and laying eggs in a good pattern. He said when bees don't have proper ventilation or are diseased they'll swarm, meaning they'll leave the hive and not return. When they swarm, they're not dangerous, but they may perch in inconvenient locations, like stop signs, sideview mirrors, traffic lights and mail boxes until they find a proper home.
The Waldorf-Astoria bees are expected to pollinate flowers in Central Park, Bryant Park and along Fifth Avenue. Executive chef David Garcelon is looking forward to sweetening his ice cream with honey, and has been working on a wild mushroom chowder and honey poppyseed salad dressing, as well as sweetening the famed Waldorf Salad with fresh honey.
"It's like any ingredient, it's always important to know where your ingredients are coming from," Garcelon said. "We know exactly where this is coming from and it's a unique story we can tell our guests."

blogger award, gramdmom learning the camera, grand mom learning to write, learning late in life, versatile blogger
For decades, I've told myself (and probably anyone within earshot) that I "want to be a writer" while hiding my thoughts deep in the files of my computer or tattered notebooks believing that I had nothing worth saying. Recently, I've picked up a camera and have fallen in love with it. I started this blog to force myself to edit and produce, to take the chance that someone might like or not like my creations. I figured it was safe because nobody would notice. To my surprise, people started noticing. And then, more of a surprise, a blogger whose work I respect nominated me for what he called this Versatile Blogger Thing :). I thank you, Arley 96arley
The rules of the Versatile Blogger Award are:
1. Add the Versatile Award photo on a blog post
2. Thank the award-giver and link back to them in your post.
3. Share 7 things about myself.
4. Pass the award along to 10 favorite bloggers.
5. Contact the chosen bloggers to let them know about the award.
My Seven Things:
- I love adventure yet I'm a homebody. I'm ready to pick up and go — even to the other side of the world; at the same time, I long for home and roots.
- I love parties, activity, and action, yet I crave isolation, solitude, and my own space. While I exult in the thrill of the city, I am most at peace alone in the woods or at the edge of the ocean.
- Raised in a small town, I am the oldest of 10 children; I live in the city and am the mother of only two sons and grandmother of only one granddaughter.
- I love reading and talking about books, which is one reason I became an English teacher; I did not realize that I would spend more of my time teaching high school students who read at the 4th grade level, hate reading, and refuse to talk about books.
- I enjoy a fancy meal at an elegant restaurant where I'm treated as if I matter and an evening at the symphony or a play, but I also enjoy chicken wings, beer, and a DVD movie on a Friday night.
- When I was in my 40s, I was a cub scout leader and frequently tagged along on my sons' boy scout hikes. (I stayed out of their way and tried my best to not be "mommy." )
- I became SCUBA certified at 40 and earned my master's degree at 50. I have worked as a waitress, secretary, office manager, reporter, legal assistant, crisis pregnancy counselor, teacher, home remodeler, mom, actor, director, and mentor. I have taught the brightest students and the students who struggle to read and hate school.
- I have a secret desire to be published and to have a picture I've taken hang on somebody's wall.
Here are my nominees for The Versatile Blogger Award: (in no particular order)

Italy international Riccardo Montolivo has intimated he will quit Fiorentina to join AC Milan in the summer.
Montolivo has been at Fiorentina for seven years, but his current deal expires at the end of the season and he is expected to move on after breaking off contract negotiations with La Viola in January.
The 27-year old has been linked with a host of clubs, including Inter Milan, Juventus and Roma, but AC Milan are thought to head the queue and reports in Italy claim a deal is already in place.
Speaking after the Azzurri's defeat to the USA in Genoa on Wednesday, the midfielder revealed that Milan were amongst the club's chasing his signature.
"My name has been linked to many clubs," Montolivo told Calciomercato. "There are several possibilities and there is also AC Milan. But now is the time to be thinking about Fiorentina."
Last week, Montolivo, who has made over 200 league appearances for Fiorentina since joining from Atalanta in 2005, said: "At the end of the season I will very likely leave Florence, albeit with great disappointment."

Working With Layers
Layers are a basic founding concept you need to understand when working with Photoshop. Each time you add something to your image (for example text or shapes), Photoshop will create it as a layer. It might help for you to think about layers as several sheets of transparencies, each with a different picture. Each layer is one smaller part within the bigger picture. Take the following as an example:
This is layer 1, a transparency with a black border and a red circle in the upper-left corner. | This is layer 2, a transparency with a green circle in the middle. | This is layer 3, our final transparency with a blue circle in the bottom-right corner. |
If we place layer 2 (green circle) over layer 1 (red circle), and then place layer 3 (blue circle) over layer 2, we'll get an overlapping of colors within a single image. That's how layers work! |
An animated example of the layers concept can be viewed here: Layers Animation
Working with Layers
The Layers palette is located on the right of the workspace, in the palette dock. All of your layers are displayed in hierarchical order on the Layers palette. From here, you can lock and hide layers, create new layers, work with layer groups, and format your layers. Here are some of the most commonly used functions on the Layers palette:

On June 10 ranchers from across Oregon, Idaho and Washington descended upon downtown Portland for a country food fair sponsored by Oregon Natural Beef. This event provided an opportunity for these ranchers to meet the city folks who eat the meat that they raise, and for city eaters to get a glimpse of cowboy life. Oregon is fortunate to have a ranch co-op like Oregon Natural Beef that provides organic, hormone-free, grassfed sustainably-raised beef to a wide range of eaters—from the fancy diners at Higgins in downtown Portland, to Cleveland High School students grabbing a burger at the Burgerville across the street from their school, as well as shoppers at New Seasons and Whole Foods Markets.

Mr. Gusky is correct that this isn't a simple issue. In Tennessee, the teachers' union supported the grant because we didn't have a choice. TEA managed to make the proposal more teacher-friendly than the original. Race to the Top is an Obama modification of NCLB. In spite of the trendy name, NCLB has left many children behind. It's disgusting that politicians make education laws without the input of teachers. No one would have a medical procedure that wasn't done by a doctor or other appropriately trained medical personnel. Yet, it's alright to make education policy without trained teachers. Something is wrong with this picture.
It's not so simple. Unions need to look at the expectations in Race to the Top. For schools in Improvement Plans both principals and teachers can be fired for not reaching proficiency. If the federal government changed the criteria to growth standards for students, there would be a more realistic and accountable measure. Race to the Top is not about 21st century learning; it's about 20th century accountability.

KTP Nov'08 (Continued)
10 November
The aftermath of the storm met us at first light. Garbage cans were upturned and its contents strewn all over the site, branches were broken off as if they were mere twigs and a thick layer of mud made moving somewhat difficult. The washing line at the ablution block was sighing under a load of wet sheets, pillows and blankets. Imagine the chattering of women in the bathroom – it surpassed any sociable weaver's nest with a Cape Cobra in its midst.
The sun peaked cheekily from the east and within a half hour, the temperature started to climb, or rather, it started to steam. We had to wait for our tent and bedding to dry a little before we could leave thus, lively discussions with all fellow-campers ensued. Even the shy German couple passed by and excitedly told us in broken English about their scariest African experience so far on their first trip here. (I bit my tongue not to tell them about sharing a camping site with lions…)
By 10:00 we were ready to leave, we needed to fill up with fuel and inflate our tyres. The fuel station looked like a lake with bare-footed attendants gliding around in ankle deep water. We were told about uprooted trees and a fridge that was "put somewhere else" by the wind. Our attendant, a man of fifteen year's service in the Park mentioned that he had never experienced such a fierce storm. On our way to Upington, we found more uprooted trees and at the turn, just past Molopo Lodge, a smoldering tree that had been hit by lightening, lay across the road. We endured something far worse than what we had thought. Partner looked at me and quietly said…"If we didn't move camp so many times yesterday, we would had severe damage at each of the sites we left…how did you know?" I just looked at him and images of thick broken branches filled my mind…
Our day in Upington lay ahead with many things to do before we could return to KTP on our second stretch of our journey. In a way I looked forward to the last bit – getting fresh supplies, especially vegetables and fruit, but mostly, the overwhelming attributes of being back in civilization, left me stone cold.
By late afternoon we turned back from the city, heading for Molopo Lodge where we would sleep over to do a bit of consignment work. It felt good to see the red dunes once more and even better to pass the turn-off to Ashkam – it meant we were on our way home…
11 November
After a hearty breakfast that had us loosening our belts the minute we got in the car, we were heading to Kgalagadi once more. A couple of pedestrians were also on their way, and we had to wait patiently for them until they decided to make way for us to pass. Donkeys. These animals have a very special place in my heart, but let me not ramble on about them; we were after all, going home.
What a pleasure it was to travel most of the way to Twee Rivieren on tar road. Only a few kilometers of gravel remained and by the look of things, we estimated that the last stretch would be finished by the time we would return. The new customs offices, which would serve the Botswana and South African border patrol, had also progressed since our visit in August.
We had a meeting scheduled at Twee Rivieren and also had to wait for a telephone conference before setting off to Nossob. By mid-morning, we made our last calls before entering the seclusion of the desert. The requisite visit to Samevloeiing water hole confirmed that the Nossob road was officially closed. We had to take one of the two dune roads to Nossob. Since we traveled back on the Dikbaardskolk turn-off previously, we opted for the Kij Kij link.
At Kaspersdraai water hole, we found the first lion tracks and eagerly carried on in the direction of Marie's Gat, not to be disappointed. The same majestic male we had seen at the eland kill a week or so back. With him, two lionesses of which one was showing signs of being in estrus. We parked at the water hole and waited, as Romeo was slowly ambling in the same direction.
I have written often about the moment when we are graced with an intimate interlude with lions, and yet, it is something that I never get used to. Each time I have had moments of eye contact with lions, it leaves my soul in a place of unknown bounds. I am mesmerized and captivated by what the amber eyes are telling me. It was my second contact with this specific male and his intensity was tangible. Was I prey to him at that moment as we kept on looking at each other or did our souls exchange a primal acknowledgement? Light was fading fast, day was nearing the end of its journey, but my being cried out silently…I wanted to stay. Then finally, the male broke eye contact and trundled off in the direction of the two lionesses, who became animated by his raspy calling.
Nossob had become our second home by now and our "family" there greeted us accordingly. We exchanged news, enquired about everyone's well-being and then headed to our chalet where I started to prepare a large salad for dinner. We both laughed when we sat down on the dark patio to eat – for a few days we would be like plains game after the summer rains – gorging ourselves on greens as if we had to wait a whole winter for the delicacy of fresh vegetables… We were becoming true Kalaharites in more than one way…

Are you looking for a specific customer segment for your brand?
Use our service to zero in on your targeted market.
Value Cluster Analysis is a technique used for classifying objects into groups. This can be used to sort data (a number of people, companies, cities, brands or any other objects) into homogeneous groups based on their characteristics.
The result of Value Cluster Analysis is a grouping of the data into groups called clusters. The researcher can then analyze the clusters for their characteristics and give the clusters names based on these. Ideally, the mean values of variables used to form the clusters should be used to define them.
The marketing application of value cluster analysis is in customer segmentation and estimation of segment sizes. Industries where this technique is useful include automobiles, retail stores, insurance, B-to-B, durables and packaged goods. Some of the well-known frameworks in consumer behavior (like VALS) are based on value cluster analysis.
Value Cluster Analysis is applicable when:
Want to use cluster analysis to find your real customers or know them better? Contact O2I right away!
There are two ways in which Value Cluster Analysis can be carried out:
This is the basic approach used in cluster analysis. This can be used to segment customer groups for a brand or product category, or to segment retail stores into similar groups based on selected variables.
Ideally, the variables should be measured on an interval or ratio scale. This is because the clustering techniques use a distance measure to find the closest objects to group into a cluster. An example of its use can be clustering similar locations across the USA based on various demographic characteristics like average income, number of Housing Starts (an economic indicator that tracks how many new single-family homes or buildings were constructed throughout the month), the number of people in an age group or income group, the number of sports goods shops, etc. Clusters of towns similar to each other can help decide where to locate new retail stores.
If clusters of customers are found based on their attitudes towards new products and interest in different kinds of activities, an estimate of the segment size for each segment of the population can be obtained, by looking at the number of objects in each cluster. We use the Case listing of Cluster Membership for the chosen solution to do this.
Names can also be given to clusters to describe each one. For example, there can be a cluster called "the liberal new-agers". Segments are prioritized based on their estimated size.
Marketing strategies for each segment are fine-tuned based on the segment characteristics. For instance, a segment of customers that likes outdoor sports can receive a special promotional offer of a golf weekend at a resort.
Data is only as useful as its interpretation. Let O2I's experienced researchers strengthen your marketing strategy with cluster analysis.
First, we collect data on the objects to be clustered. Then, we create a dataset of all objects to be clustered; we use SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) package options of either Hierarchical Cluster or K Means Cluster. This choice depends on whether clusters are unknown in number or known in number.
In case of K Means Cluster, we type the number of clusters needed, we find the final cluster centers in the output and interpret the clusters.
If cluster numbers are unknown, we look at the agglomeration schedule (requested in the Statistics dialogue box of the Hierarchical Clustering procedure) to determine the number of clusters. We look for large gaps in the Coefficient column, and choose the corresponding solution. The last row represents a solution with 1 cluster, the one above that represents a solution with 2 clusters, and so on. Once the number of clusters is determined, average values for each variable are determined for all the clusters, and interpretation of clusters follows. The estimate of the segment size depends on the number of objects falling into each cluster. The stability of the clusters is checked by splitting the sample and repeating the value cluster analysis.

Once king Shantanu went for hunting. He reached deep into the forest across a river. After many hours of horse ride and laborious chase the tired king instructed his attendants to carry his horse and other possessions, and himself decided to return to his palace in a ferry boat.
The boatman, fisherman by caste, recognized the king and felt honored to have such a distinguished guest on his boat. Such occasions did not come in his life very often. He decided to make most of it. Therefore, he requested the king to accept his hospitality in his humble hut. The king agreed. Together they reached the boatman's house for refreshments. The boatman tried to make the king as comfortable as he could by offering the king soft cushioned seat, fruits and milk. He called his daughter to serve the honoured guest. And as the fate had it, the king fell in love with the fisherman's daughter (Satyavati) at first sight! Their eyes met and love was exchanged. King Shantanu made hasty departure and returned to his palace. But the love bug had made his nights sleepless. The constant thought of beautiful daughter of fisherman made him restless and love-sick.
The king started making secret visits to the fisherman's house. Fisherman did not object, why should he! The love between the king and Satyavati blossomed into the dreams of conjugal bliss. The king wanted to marry her. Shantanu already had one son, named Bhishma, the most powerful, intelligent, and glorious of all the Kurus. His personality was unique and impressive in many ways. His truthfulness, bravery, and righteousness were beyond reproach. If once he decided anything, he was sure to stick to his word at any cost. The Great Bhishma As already said, the king wanted to marry the daughter of fisherman - Satyavati. The father was accordingly informed. Here the fisherman became greedy! He thought, "As the tradition goes, Bhishma is elder and will succeed the throne of Hastinapur. My daughter's son will be younger and hence will be denied the chance to become the king. Moreover, when Bhishma marries, his son will succeed to the throne and not my daughter's son." Hence, the greedy fisherman told her daughter to marry the king only on the condition that (1) Bhishma should never aspire for the throne of Hastinapur, and (2) secondly, he should never marry.
The two conditions were too harsh for king Shantanu to accept. This was clearly a great injustice towards his beloved son Bhishma. Therefore, the king did not accept the conditions immediately. He bought some time to give his final decision. The days passed by. The king could not forget Satyavati, nor could he do injustice to Bhishma. This dilemma told on his health and performance of royal duties. He lost his appetite and took no interest in the affairs of his kingdom. These changes did not remain unknown to the intelligent eyes of Bhishma. Bhishma decided to go to the root cause of the unhappiness of his father. He soon came to know all about his father's love for Satyavati and his desire to marry her. Bhishma decided to bring cheers in the life of his father. He went to Satyavati and, after introducing himself, requested her (would be step mother) to marry his father. Satyavati repeated her two conditions to Bhishma now: that (1) Bhishma should never aspire for the throne of Hastinapur, and (2) secondly, he should never marry. The firm-minded Bhishma vowed in front of her saying, "O mother, I, upon my word and in presence of this river Ganges, pledge never to marry and never to aspire for the throne of Hastinapur. In addition, till my last breath, I promise that I shall be loyal to the throne of Hastinapur whosoever occupies it." Thus indirectly Bhishma assured the fisher-woman that her son would be accepted as the future king of Hastinapur.
Happy days returned as the king Shantanu married Satyavati. The queen gave birth to two sons named Chitrangad and Vichitravirya. The Kingdom Of Hastinapur Days passed by. King Shantanu died natural death of old age. His elder son Chitrangad also died in young age. Hastinapur came under the rule of Vichitravirya and continued to flourish under his rule. Vichitravirya was married to three princesses, but as the fate had it, could not become father. Soon Vichitravirya also was killed in a battle without any issue. His queens were offered a child each from a great sage as a blessing and through his Yogic Power (without physical contact). The two queens followed the instructions and gave birth to Dhritarashtra and Pandu respectively; but the third queen sent her maid to the sage, and Vidura was born of the maid as the third son. Dhritarashtra was blind from the birth, and therefore Pandu succeeded the throne of Hastinapur. Pandu, Dhritarashtra, and Bhishma grew up as friends and conducted the affairs of the state with great foresight. They all respected each other. Vidura was most righteous of all and was chosen as the Prime Minister of Hastinapur. Pandu married Kunti (aunt of Sri Krishna) and princess Madri; while Dhritarashtra was married to Gandhari, the princess of Gandhar. This noble lady also kept her eyes folded throughout her life as an mark of respect to her blind husband Dhritarashtra.
