DDIC15 Fragranced Peace
Happy Thursday Everyone!! I hope you are all doing well!! Today is super busy and I will be gone most all day. Crazy!! I thought I better get my post up quick before running out the door.
Today is the Divine Diva Inspiration Challenge!!! Lori sent each of the team member the link to this picture for our Inspiration from Pacific Perfume:
I was inspired by the cameo coral color and the pattern. I thought the pattern assimilated the Fleur De Lis pendant shape so I went with a pattern paper from SU that had a similar pattern and the Fleur De Lis Embossing Folder from Cuttlebug. I combined the Divine Diva Challenge with the Mojo 111 Sketch for this week and the Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge as well.
Here is the Mojo Sketch:
The challenge for the Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge was:
"Create something about when God is "unseen"; i.e., a scrapbook layout that reminds you that God is always with you; a card to encourage a friend and remind them that God is with them; or perhaps something to hang on your wall as a reminder."
I used the verse from Scripture Collection 2 at Our Daily Bread Designs. I stamped a pattern around the verse using the Blessed Christmas set (also from ODBD)
Card Recipe
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs- Blessed Christmas, Scripture Collection 2
Paper: Cameo Coral, SU Designer Paper, Black, White
Accessories: ZVA Creative Flourishes (pearls), lace, American Crafts Ribbon, Prima Flower (Windsor Chelsea Roses), Hero Art Pearls
Be sure to check out the cards made by all the Divine Divas for this inspiration challenge!
Hope you are inspired to come and play along. Just leave a comment here with a link to your card. We can't wait to see what you create! The keyword for uploading on SCS will be DDIC15.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I can't believe I finally have this posted. It took me an hour and a half to fight blogger this a.m. It would not let me upload my pictures. Oh well...it is here now. I hope this isn't a sign how my day will be though. Have a great day!! Hope to stop by you all later this p.m. when I get home!!

The Boca Grill Tiki Bar has Bandstand action planned for this Sunday, August 19, from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m.
There will be an acoustic open mic going from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.
The News - Featured News
BY LIZA STROUT - Gasparilla Island State Park is one of the most popular in the state, according to numbers just released by the Department of Environmental Protection.
In 2011, 872,917 visitors enjoyed the white sand beaches and historic structures of the island gem.
BY LIZA STROUT - Heather Crosser always knew that she wanted to be a teacher. The Illinois native started on the path early.
"When I was a kid, I would babysit, and the younger kids would be my students," she laughed. "I turned my closet into an education station, and we would have lessons in my room."
It is with great sadness that the Boca Grande Historical Society learned of Henry "Smiley" Woodward's passing. She was an honorary member of our society. Henry took part in a history program in 2005 reminiscing about growing up in Boca Grande as a young child.
She charmed the audience with her special memories and re-established herself as a member of a very special community for which she will be remembered in our archives. As a result, she and the black community will not be forgotten.
The News - Obituaries
The students heading to the Kindergarten class weren't the only new faces at The Island School this year.
Head of School Jean Thompson and Science, Math and Technology teacher Heather Crosser were also enjoying their first day alongside the students.

Panthers bring home TCC championship
GRANVILLE — Harold Fay didn't make the Tri-County Conference All-Tournament team after a pair of sub-par games. But boy did he show up for the championship game Friday night.
The Putnam County junior guard scored a career-high 31 points to lift the host Panthers to a 64-63 win over neighboring Hall High School at R.M. Germano Gymnasium. The Red Devils had a last-second shot for the win, but Brett Fanning's attempt from the right wing just inside the three-point stripe rimmed the basket as time expired.
PC Josh Nauman doubted that Fay flew in under the radar.

" For quite some time that I wanted to get a portable amp that could make the sound more lively, with low noise and still be able to pump enough juice to some more power hungry cans, and PA2V2 definitely suited me. The amp was used with different gear, so I could check it was a good purchase (aside from all raving reviews) and I couldn't be happier. I listened through Philips..." --Roller
" Overview/Design (9/10) This is primarily designed to amplify sound out of mobile devices that do not get loud enough for you, either because they are low quality, your headphones are not sensitive enough, or you're going deft :). As a bonus, it has a built in bass boost with 3 settings (off, 1, 2). It also has a good quality easily replaceable Lithium Ion battery (BL-5B), and comes with..." --rigodeni
" Have tried many headphone DAC/Amps in the £50 - 200 range and nothing comes close to the resolving, enjoyale nature of this bit of kit. Western manufacturers should take note. Quality, performance and a great price point can all exist together! :) Had mine for almost a year now and have no intention of letting it go... " --Krisman
" I purchased the Nuforce Icon HDP along with Sennheiser HD 650 headphones as my first desktop setup about six months ago. I'll start off by saying that the HDP has been a fantastic purchase that I am thrilled with and enthusiastically recommend, especially as a starter desktop setup. The HDP has loads of power and easily drives my Sennheiser HD 650s and other high impedence..." --Sid-Fi
"I'll make this a short review and just make several points. - Excellent unit for beginners. You can use it so many ways, it's really an all-in-one. - Build quality is great, I haven't heard of any dead units. Some minor problems here and there but they are quickly resolved. - Superb support from the company. Fast and helpful emails. - Upgrade and resale potential. You can use this as a DAC..." --_Spanky_
" REVIEW – Schiit Audio Valhalla Tube Headphone Amplifier What Sort of Schiit is This? I read, as did many of you, the head-fi threads about the very popular and attractively priced Schiit Asgard. But to be quite candid, I personally had about as much interest in an inexpensive solid-state headphone amp as I did in weeding behind my garage. As such, I have never heard the..." --Skylab
" The GOOD: -- Size: very small and pairs well with a J3, iTouch, Sony X-Series, iPod Classic or similar device. -- Battery life: as said before, simply amazing! -- Construction: very solid and well built. Great switches, with a firm feel and nice "click" to them -- Form Factor: Second to NONE! All of the inputs, outputs and switches are perfectly placed. --..." --SoulSyde
"Received new FiiO E7 today from Micca in Fairfax, Va (hi ex-neighbor - used to live in Arlington.) Did much reading on this forum and other reviews and truly appreciate the candid and (sometimes) brutal thoughts of recent purchasers. After just a few hours experience, can only share my first impressions - all of which are positive. Unpacked, reviewed instruction sheet, plugged in USB..." --TomT
" I bought this amp for my Q701s (Which I won't receive until Friday). When it came I took it out just to make sure it works (All my current headphones are low impedance and don't require an amp). I hooked it up with probably one of the worst possible sources you can imagine: a Nintendo DS (I was in the middle of playing a DS game when it arrived). Of course there was volume, but I also almost..." --DSW92

To assist policymakers and the energy industry with pressing forward sustainable energy systems, the World Energy Council, in collaboration with global management consulting firm Oliver Wyman, publishes the report World Energy Trilemma 2012: Time to get real – the case for sustainable energy policy.
The 2012 report is the start of a two-part series of reports which will inform the WEC's policy dialogue activities. Based on interviews with more than 40 industry CEOs and senior executives from across the global energy sector, this edition aims to provide policymakers with the energy industry's views on what is needed from policies in order to meet the challenges of the Energy Trilemma: energy security, social equity and environmental impact mitigation.
The report also includes the 2012 Energy Sustainability Index, a global ranking of 93 WEC member countries based on their performance on the three aspects of the energy trilemma. The Index provides policymakers and those making investment decisions with a key tool to assess the sustainability of a country's energy system.
For the first time, the 2012 Index comes with a full set of country profiles also available as an interactive tool on this website.

His column on Lindsey Lohan Republicans is no different. The fact is that Republican leaders in the House are looking toward a compromise on earmarks that would fall short of a total ban. Those advocating such a compromise | Read More »

Microsoft's Do Not Track default in IE10 violates new specs
Microsoft faces a tough time trying to pull off its goal of setting IE10's Do Not Track feature as the default.
The Do Not Track, or DNT, feature in a browser is supposed to send a signal to third-party Web sites, telling them not to track your Internet activity. Most browsers include this as an option that the user can turn on or off.
Microsoft wants to turn the feature on by default in Internet Explorer 10, seeing it as a necessary step in giving users more control over how their online activities are tracked, shared, and used. But … Read more

you should put a disclaimer up. the 120hz monitors BenQ and Asus sell often come with or without the 3D Vision kit. Asus VG236HE = no 3D Vision Asus VG236H = 3D Vision BenQ XL2420T = no 3D Vision BenQ XL2420TX = 3D Vision
I think the Asus monitor measures better than the BenQ but I didn't buy it because I like a matte screen. I calibrate all my monitors and televisions with a colorimeter. if you don't have one there are plenty of websites that have ICC profiles and calibration settings.
sure, calibration will help some but if the monitor itself produces crap colors then you can't really improve it.
I'm not sure if you're directing this question to me, but here goes: Yes, you notice a marked difference, or I wouldn't have enthused about it so much. The motion blur and judder artefacts are very noticeable even without comparing to anything else. My previous monitor was a good quality Iiyama 26" 1920x1200 monitor and it's waay better than that. Here's how the animation/movement quality increases as you go up the improvement scale. 60Hz - lots of motion smear and poorly defined edges. Judder can be highly visible too, depending on speed etc. Lot's of lag (this is relative, though). My Asus 144Hz monitor is no better than any other monitor when run at 60Hz. 120Hz - much smoother motion. Still lots of motion blur, but edges don't break up so easily. Dropped frames from the graphics card don't look so bad. No noticeable lag. 144Hz - incrementally smoother motion and visibly less blurring, but it's still significantly there. No noticeable lag. 120Hz LightBoost mode - fantastic performance and gaming Utopia is achieved! Everything was just so vivid and clear on the Asus that it honestly did make my jaw drop - this hasn't happened to me ever since I can remember. You can enemies moving around quickly with great clarity and all the special effects really come to life, such as explosions. Turning LightBoost off on the Asus made it much like the LG. Basically, strobing the backlight makes all the difference and it's a wonder that this simple and obvious technique hadn't been brought to market years ago as a standard feature of "gaming grade" LCD monitors, independently of any manufacturer. The difference is simply stunning and makes an LCD better for gaming than a CRT, because it has all the same motion clarity while retaining its inherently pin-sharp picture. No noticeable lag - it makes no difference to it either way. I did a simultaneous comparison (clone mode on the two DVI outputs) at 120Hz between my Asus monitor using LightBoost and the LG without LightBoost as it's not supported and the difference was very noticeable. Basically the LG looked like crap next to it. Turning LightBoost off on the Asus made it much like the LG.
@qubit: Pretty much directed at anyone with insight. I know there are just some things you wouldn't know the difference until you experience a difference. EDIT: after reading your post, it feels like this is something I have to have. The problem is I have 3 monitors and no NV card.
Yes, it's well worth it. Of course, you'll pay a premium for this simple feature unfortunately, due to its proprietary lock-in (new LightBoost monitors, NVIDIA graphics cards(s) and emitter) but you won't look back, you'll love it so much. Assuming you have the money and want to spend that much... I'm sure that threads like this will spread to other forums and demand for it will grow. There is seriously no technical hurdle to making a generic version of LightBoost, it's so simple. What I can't understand is why NVIDIA isn't promoting this benefit? I've actually had this monitor for a month before I realized what it was capable of. Let's get the word out there of the benefits of backlight strobing!
It's always the way, isn't it? lol. However, I don't see a problem with going higher res and IPS either. Yes, LightBoost is a great benefit, but so is a higher resolution along with the benefits of IPS such as better colours and viewing angles, which all easily beat my monitor. In short, I don't think you wasted your money.
Thanks for the article. Can you test how much additional input lag is involved with this procedure (if any)?
There is zero additional input lag. In fact, it makes no difference to it whatsoever. Oh and you're welcome.
Bump for anyone that's not seen this and is interested in eliminating motion blur on their LCD monitors - albeit at a price at the moment.
I was trying to share your post on irc among some LAN admins and organizers around the competitive fps scene, (but sadly) nobody was really interested without some first hand experience (which I still don't have:/) I can test this early next year, when one of my mates will have the same monitor, and I'm really looking forward to it
Yeah, this must surely pick up as more enthusiasts see how good it is - and it's so cheap to implement. As it turns out that Intel isn't getting out of the enthusiast scene with Broadwell, it shows that there's a lot of clout and influence from people like us. One other point I've noticed with how it's better than CRTs is that those leave faint trails due to phosphor persistence. However, strobing LCDs do not (well, very nearly so) which is yet another way in which they now beat LCDs at this. I'm sure once AMOLED or its equivalent finally goes mainstream, we'll be blown away by further improvements in this area.
Thanks Aren't AMOLEDs very prone to burn-in and severe aging? I know that there are circuits which shift the voltage to compensate for the luminosity degradation, but I still had an impression somehow that it won't be the real deal (well, I did not follow the development closely tbh, so perhaps I'm missing something here). The bottom line is that I'm still really afraid that my CRT won't turn on one morning :/
Yes, they do have a lifetime problem, the blue colour especially. That's why I covered it with "their equivalents". Apparently, the lifetime is good enough for a small gadget like a music player or a smartphone, which is why something like the Samsung Galaxy S3 has it, but not a TV which is expected to operate for years at high brightness levels.

St. John's University is partnering with511NYRideshare ,a non-profit transportation management company that would help coworkers pair up based on regions, in an effort to expand campus sustainability. In teaming up with fellow employees by carpooling to work, you can help cut the University's greenhouse gas emissions, improve local air quality and also improve your commute.
The first 10 employees to complete the survey receive a $50 Gift Card.
Our aim is to develop additional commuter benefit programs for the St. John's community to help meet environmental goals and work/life needs. To help us better understand what transportation challenges you face, we ask that you please complete a brief Commuter Survey that will take approximately five minutes. Your answers and ideas are a key part of the process. You can help us develop options and programs that will meet your needs and improve current commuter benefits.
St. John's University currently offers a pretax transportation benefit that allows you to purchase mass transit and vanpool before income taxes are applied. Up to $125 can be deducted monthly pretax. We encourage you to take advantage of this money saving benefit if you are not already enrolled by selecting "I want money deducted from my paycheck to purchase transit passes" in the Commuter Survey. If you have any questions, please e-mail either Tom Goldsmith at: firstname.lastname@example.com or Roxanne Bryan at: email@example.com
Prize Drawings will be done on March 9

Had to fill out a frustrating but worth it e86 form for my background check. After I had to get a health check/drug test which was probably the most frustrating part.

Very Easy Interview
The process took 3 months - interviewed at TSA (Transportation Security Administration) in March 2012.
Interview Details Applied online, received email about Computer Based Test (CBT). Scheduled for two plus hours, took less than an hour. Already had a clearance TS/SCI, so no issues with this. Received email a few days ago asking if I was still interested, I said yes, then we discussed money. This job was listed as part time and salary between 29.5k and 45k a year. This was NOT the case, the man said I would be making about 14k a year, LESS THAN HALF the amount listed. I explained that I was not interested in a job that paid that little. I also ask if I could remain in competition for other jobs. Was told yes, ANOTHER LIE, the next day I had a status of WITHDRAWN on my status and a BIG RED X. I sent an email at the HR Dept. only to get a response of they could not change the decision since I declined the job. I called HR, got the same BS run around. Not a very good experience with this company. I am a VET with 30 plus years experience and an advanced degree. I not so politely ask HR to remove me from their files and have a great day.
Interview Question – They were very simplistic, mainly about what would you do in this situation. Answer Question
Reason for Declining – Salary was HALF the posted amount. Mislead about pay and other things.

Interview Details I recently just had an interview with TSA at BNA. The whole hiring process is probably the longest process in the world. I guess that has to do a lot with it being a government job and all. Well anyway, I went up there to get my interview done and it was me and 2 other women. They sat us down asked us for the information they needed and all that good stuff, then asked which person wanted to actually do the interview first. I volunteered. I go in and its a group interview in which a panel of people ask you theses simple scenerio questions and you answer them. I thought I did pretty good because I was calm and tried to answer the questions the best of my ability. When that was done they told me to hang outside while the deliberate. I waited about 3 minutes when the lady took me back in. I sat down and they said you failed your interview. At first i thought it was a joke bc of how simple the flipping questions were and stuff. I dont know i wasted like 2 months with this process and you look at all the old heads that have the job and you wonder why you dont.

[CHAPTER 34] [Page 1] Farm and Rural Labor, 1900-1930. Negroes were forcibly seized and brought to America because their race proved to be the best available labor supply. Today in Louisiana--as in most of the other Southern States--they are still the best "perpetual" laboring group that can be found. Wherever there is work to be done, either pleasant or unpleasant, black labor is called upon to make the wheels of progress keep turning smoothly and steadily. Canefields, rice-fields, swamps, truck farms, plantations, and rural and urban communities have come to rely in many instances, solely upon Negro laborers to supply their demands. In common and skilled labor they are employed throughout the State, toiling in industry, agriculture, and domestic service. With a skeleton franchise which he can employ only in national elections, the Negro workers of Louisiana have fought successfully for a place in the various industries of the State. Their increasing success may be one of the reasons why trade unions are more and more reaching out to them for inclusion in labor movements which affect alike the workers of both races. The post-Reconstruction period was one in which Negro labor had fought a steadily losing battle against poor wages, immigrant labor, repressive measures, Swing that hoe, Lift that bale….

I'm interested in starting a campaign for Mutants & Masterminds on line, specifically on IRC (Internet Relay Chats). This would likely be on the psionics server, which Lord_Anthrax is using for his M&M chatroom, or on EFnet. Anyone interested is welcome. You may respond to this thread or PM me for relevant info. If you're an old hat at IRC and on-line gaming or if you've never tried but are (even remotely) curious, please feel free to ask questions and to join up! For those who are interested in joining the group, you will also be invited to join my Yahoo message group, which will provide you with information ranging from setting data, illustrations of signature characters and scheduling updates.
The setting is still going through finishing touches, but as I am currently involved in another game, we wouldn't be playing for a while; not until we take a break from that game (the GM in that game is one of my players in this game). tentatively, we would be doing a Saturday game at nine pm eastern. However, if schedules coincide and permit, we could play sometime during the week, in a pm slot, after 9pm eastern.
We will be playing in my setting, the New Rome Campaign. The adventures would be centered around the megalopolis of New Rome, which exists on the west coast. The city is twenty miles long and is rumored to have been built in a single day in the late nineteenth century by giant "mechanoids" which have since disappeared.
The heroes of earth are known as "Icons", and have been in public scrutiny since the Silver-Star Squadron aided the allies in WWII. Immediately after that conflict, aliens known as the Sirani made themselves known to the major governments of the world, and warned of the impending alien threat posed by their ancient enemies, the Vishtani. In coordination with the Sirani scientists, governments and private organizations began programs to engineer "beings of power." At least, that's what filtered out into the public over the years. In truth, the Sirani had been using their own mutable DNA to create human-Sirani "Hybrids".
They've been doing this for centuries...
And only in the 20th century have these so-called "Hybrids" become genetically viable; capable of reproducing their own.
Hybrids would be the New Rome equivelent to marvel mutants, but the option certainly exists to play nearly any character conept your heart desires. See, mankind doesn't know nearly half of what it thinks about Icons and their origins. So there are a few "gods" roaming about; there are angels, demons, aliens, robots, sorcerors, immortals, etc.
There are Atlanteans, but not the sort you might normally expect. You'll find out if you respond.
What I'd like to do with this setting is to have significant player-originated content; to make the world almost as much yours as mine; to make it live ('cuz I'd like to play there, myself!). So, if you decide to join and have an idea you think could work, let me know.
Another thing I'd like to do is provide the players the option to either make original characters, or play pre-generated signature characters (the "comic book stars" of my universe, so to speak). The idea is sort of like Marvel's FASERIP RPG, wherein you could make up your own character or play the ones provided. To that end, I've written up some "comic book" history on some of the characters (my intent is to give every sig character such treatment). reference the "Sentinels...STAND" thread on the M&M forum for info.
I'm serious about getting some dedicated folks together to have fun with this, and I'm eager to get people involved. So let's hear from you if you're interested. If I can think of anymore info, I'll post it here.
Thanks in advance

We will be back to Whislter that is certain, we have been in nirvana for a week, March 2014 is our next visit
a great view and lots to do. My son (3) had a blast going on little hikes up the hills. but the view...wow...worth going for.
We had an amazing trip to Whislter-Blackcomb. The skiing was fantastic - I especially loved the Peak-to-Creak trail. I am an intermediate skier and there was absolutely no shortage of fun and challenging trails for me to ski.
Great service from the Whistler Blackcomb reservation centre - pre booked for a group of 20+ for the peak to peak trip and lunch on our return. Making a booking from half way around the world maybe daunting to some, but the girls in the office made it a breeze – when I get back to Vancouver for another adventure... More
Skiing Whistler Blackcomb has always been on my bucket list. Well, the opportunity to visit this resort with some very good friends became available this past winter and I jumped at the opportunity. Sometimes when you have dreamed about visiting a place it's hard for the experience to meet your expectation. But in this case, there were no disappointments! Between... More
My kid really loved this place amazing views, great for snow sports, I was there in 2007 with my family, people are nice with visitors,
Our family of four spent a week and half in the Whistler area and it truly was one of our best vacations ever. We purchased the two-day pass for Whistler Blackcomb through the tourism office and combined the Gondola ride and several hikes along the main trails with lunch one day, and Mountain Top BBQ dinner the next. It was... More
Whistler Blackcomb offers an amazing variety of terrain that you can spend days exploring. They constantly upgrade the lifts so that they keep ahead of the competition. The price of a lift ticket is getting quite high but the skiing can't be beat!
Had a great three days on the slopes at Whistler Blackcomb last April. Was really surprised and very pleased to be the beneficiary of a late spring snow fall and not too much of a crowd on the mountain. We skied untracked powder well into the afternoon on our last day and had a blast. I can recommend this destination... More
Stayed in Whistler for 2 nights but could have stayed for longer. The place is very clean, with a good variety of shops [better than Vancouver !] The atmosphere is welcoming. Had a drink at the Irish bar which was very expensive and when questioned about the prices all the barman said was 'welcome to Whistler' ! needless to say... More

Getting kids hooked on outdoor recreation helps them grow to be physically active. Hiking and canoeing are sports they can start as preschoolers and enjoy for a lifetime.
"I think it's important to teach kids to be active in a way they can maintain as a lifestyle," says Andrea Muller, who oversees youth outdoor education programs for the Appalachian Mountain Club in Pinkham Notch, New Hampshire. Participation in team sports, she notes, often stops when schooling does.
For small children, don't set lofty goals like climbing to the top of a mountain. Begin gradually with a short hike to collect different kinds of leaves or a canoe ride to spot turtles and other aquatic life. Be flexible about your plans, and let your child's curiosity be your guide.
Children can begin hiking adventures as soon as they can walk (or earlier if carried in a baby backpack). Hiking strengthens the legs, the heart, and the lungs. It provides a fun form of fitness for the whole family.
Starting Out
For short legs, take short hikes in parks or on nature trails with relatively flat terrain. With older kids or teens, head to the hills and count up the miles.
Plan hikes with exciting destinations—a panoramic view, a waterfall, or a lake for swimming. Pre-teens and teens can take part in planning the trip. Let them choose a destination, map out a safe route, and help pack the necessary supplies.
Safety Tips
Younger children can enjoy the ride in the canoe. As children get older, they can start paddling, which builds upper body strength. Be sure to select paddles that are the appropriate length and weight.
The Boat
For stability and room, pick a long, flat-bottomed boat. Children can sit in the center or, if small, in the bow in front of an adult. Once they start to paddle, they can rotate between the bow and stern to learn how to propel and steer the boat.
In an open canoe, you will want to protect your belongings. "You'll need a dry bag for food, a first-aid kit, and extra layers of clothes," says Muller. "Nice waterproof packs that float are available."
Start with short outings on quiet water—small lakes, ponds, or slow-moving rivers. Older, more experienced children, can try rivers with stronger currents or even white water.
Plan to stop to picnic and give everyone a chance to stretch their legs. Choose a spot where you can safely climb in and out of the boat.
For any outdoor activity, dress using the "onion principle"—wear multiple layers like T-shirts, sweaters, and jackets, which can easily be peeled off or added. Avoid pure cotton, which can make you cold and miserable when wet. Cotton blends, wool, and pile (like Polartec) provide better insulation.
Hot and Cold
Keep in mind that children overheat and cool down faster than adults. Also remember a child carried in a backpack or sitting on the bottom of a canoe is likely to be colder than hikers or paddlers.
Bring along rain gear just in case, and wear a hat with a brim to protect against sun and bugs. Sunglasses with UV protection are also a good idea around water and at high altitudes.
For hiking, wear walking shoes or lightweight hiking boots that have plenty of room for the toes. Break in your new boots at home before you venture out on a hike. Wear two pairs of socks to help prevent blisters.
For canoeing, wear sport sandals or water shoes to protect against sharp rocks or broken glass.

So, the Lipotropic Protein project is changing directions. Due to lousy suppliers with variable taste, we are not going to be able to launch a 100% genus based protein like I wanted to.
The original supplier came in yesterday and said "LG Sciences problem took a team of 15 people to figure out. We identified an error in our processing that won't be fixed until 2010." This new supplier apparently has the same issue.
The issue is that at very high concentrations the protein from yellow peas has inconsistent flavor...
So...we are forced to release Lipotropic BLEND which will be a blend of Genus Protein, Whey Isolate, Whey Concentrate and Micellar Casein. I am working on the flavor right now (I wish you could have tasted the latest Lipotropic Protin flavor, it was amazing).
Good news is that 5lbs should be very close in price to the original Lipotropic.

Airbus A320 Tests New Eco-Efficient Engine
Filed under: Wings
The press for eco-efficient air flight is really gearing up. Last week, Virgin Atlantic tested a flight on coconut oil. Now Aero-News Network reports that an Airbus A320 test aircraft has performed the first test flight powered by the International Aero Engines' new SelectOne standard engine. This engine still uses traditional fuel but it is a new version of the V2500 engine that is more fuel-efficient with lower CO2 emissions. The engine will be available for the A319, A320 and A321. The engine will reduce fuel burn by 1 per cent (along with a corresponding reduction in CO2 emissions) and will also improve time-on-wing by 20 per cent and require less maintenance. Unlike other projects, for more fuel-efficient flight, this one will be pressed into service by the end of the year.

Version overview
There are two libusb API versions:
- libusb-1.0 is the current version, under active development
- libusb-0.1 is the original version which is deprecated and unmaintained since many years
- libusb-compat-0.1 is a compatibility library which provides the libusb-0.1 API by using libusb-1.0
The different API versions do not conflict, so they can be installed in parallell on a system. However, if you have installed libusb-1.0 then we strongly recommend to use libusb-compat-0.1 instead of the ancient libusb-0.1 code, so that programs which use both the 0.1 API and the 1.0 API in different parts of the program, or in different libraries used by the program, will both end up using libusb-1.0 for actual device access. This is important to avoid potential conflicts between libusb-1.0 and libusb-0.1 being used by the same process.
In addition to the above libraries by the libusb project there is also a separate project which provides the libusb-0.1 API on Windows:
- libusb-win32 (It is a separate project, but several contributors participate in both libusb and libusb-win32.)
libusb-1.0 (current API)
Daniel Drake adopted the project in January 2008 and worked on the libusb-1.0 API and implementation, which adds several features missing in the 0.1 API. libusb-1.0 is the recommended version to use for all new development. Developers are encouraged to port existing applications which use libusb-0.1 to use the new API.
- Download sources
- See the libusb-1.0 page for more detailed information about libusb-1.0
- libusb-1.0 API documentation
- Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, OpenBSD and NetBSD are currently supported.
- FreeBSD includes a separate implementation of the libusb-0.1 and libusb-1.0 APIs in the system libc.
- The Windows backend currently depends on the generic USB device driver WinUSB.sys by Microsoft, which is included with all Windows versions starting with Windows Vista. There is a ticket about support for the libusb0.sys kernel driver developed by the libusb-win32 project.
A device driver which supports libusb must always be used for the device on every operating system. Each operating system has different rules for device drivers. On Mac OS X, if an interface driver included with the OS matches the characteristics of a device, that driver will seize the interface, and the driver cannot be detached by libusb, so libusb will not be able to use that interface. In the case of OpenBSD and NetBSD, libusb-1.0 can be used only for device with ugen driver. For Windows, if you need to read from or write to the USB device, currently only devices with WinUSB driver are supported.
libusb is not well suited for accessing HID class devices. It is possible to use libusb with HID device though if the original driver is replaced by a supported driver but this is usually not easy on non-Linux platforms. It is recommended to use HIDAPI instead, for convenient and cross-platform access to HID class devices.
libusb-0.1 (legacy API)
Johannes Erdfelt founded the libusb project and lead development through 2007. By then, libusb-0.1 had stabilized, and was adopted by a wide range of projects.
- Download sources
- Supported operating systems: Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin, MacOS X (and Windows, through the libusb-win32 project). Solaris has a wrapper for libusb-0.1 as well. There are also independent implementation efforts for other OS like BeOS and OS/2 which may not be mature enough.
- Development status: libusb-0.1 is deprecated and will have no further changes or releases
- Note that libusb-win32 is a separate project which still sees active development. The next generation libusb-win32 kernel driver (libusbk.sys) is based on KMDF. The libusbk library will support the existing libusb-win32 API, libusb-1.0 API and WinUSB-like API. libusb-win32 users who are fine with the libusb-win32 API are recommended to keep using it since it will be supported by the libusb-win32 project. libusb-win32 users who are interested in libusb-1.0 will also be supported once the libusbk backend is integrated. Future enhancement of the libusb-1.0 API (say libusb-1.1) may be required to be more suitable for Windows users.

My 6 year old son has tremendous trouble focusing in school.

The County and Area ensembles are part of a growing network of over 70 groups across Hampshire, run by the Hampshire Music Service. Being a member of a music group is a unique educational experience, which supports good progress in playing or singing, alongside the enjoyment and social rewards of making music together.
Each year several of our ensembles achieve national profile. In November 2008 our Vivaldi string ensemble and the Japanese drumming group Oku Nojo Daiko featured in the School's Prom concert at the Royal Albert Hall. At the 2009 Schools' Prom concert at the Royal Albert Hall, 800 Hampshire children formed a massed choir to perform the world premiere of Stephen McNeff's The Darwin Dilemma. This piece, commissioned especially for the occasion, was an exciting collaboration between the Music Service and Hampshire schools involving singers, instrumentals and dancers from around the county.
We celebrate these achievements in many concerts, festivals and musical events throughout the year.
Comprehensive information about rehearsals and the requirements needed to join an ensemble are shown in the area ensemble directory and county ensemble listing, whilst details about forthcoming concerts and events, which are organised throughout the year by all of our ensembles, are available in our events diary.

Tapping Into the Hidden Job Market by Debra Wheatman - Mar, 2010 It is a well known fact using job boards exclusively as you conduct a job search will leave you confounded and frustrated.

Rahmatulla goes 6-for-6, plates seven 06/10/2012 8:52 PM ETBy Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com
Tyler Rahmatulla entered Sunday in a minor funk. With the tiniest of mechanical adjustments at the plate, he turned in an historic performance. Slumping? Not anymore. The Cardinals prospect went 6-for-6 and established career highs with two homers and seven RBIs, but the Class A Quad Cities River Bandits dropped a 16-15, 11-inning decision to the Burlington Bees. "I've actually never had a game quite like this and I'd never hit two home runs in one game before," Rahmatulla said. "It was a good game for me. It was kinda funny. "It was a good game going back and forth, but it's tough because we ended up losing. It's not ideal because you always try to win every game." Rahmatulla tied the Midwest League record for hits in a game, set most recently by Lansing's Kevin Pillar on May 12. Before the season, nobody had recorded six hits in a game since Peoria's Travis Hanson on April 12, 2003. The 22-year-old third baseman shattered all of his previous career highs. It was his first contest with more than four hits and nearly doubled his personal best of four RBIs while tying marks for doubles and runs scored. Selected in the 34th round of the 2011 Draft, Rahmatulla led off the second with a blast to left field and connected for a two-run shot to left-center in the third. "I think I got into a 1-0 count and told myself I was going to see a ball up," Rahmatulla said of his first homer. "I got a fastball up and got the head of the bat on it. The wind was blowing out to left field. I didn't get all of it, but it carried. That was pretty nice. "[In the third inning], I got into another hitter's count, 2-0. I laid off some off-speed stuff, which I've been working on because I've been chasing balls down, but I got a fastball, which was elevated." The UCLA product pulled a two-out RBI single to left in the fourth, sent a one-out double down the third-base line in the sixth and delivered a one-out run-scoring single in a four-run seventh. With the River Bandits trailing, 15-12, and down to their final out in the ninth, Rahmatulla capped his career day with an RBI double off reliever Jonathan Joseph. Anthony Garcia followed with a two-run homer to force extra innings. "I was taking pitches that I wanted to swing at because I was looking for a fastball," Rahmatulla said. "I didn't get one, got down to two strikes and worked it to 2-2. He hung a breaking ball and I hit it down the line." After a scorching May in which he hit .341 with 24 RBIs in 23 games, Rahmatulla entered Sunday's contest in a bit of a slump. He was 5-for-28 in eight games this month, but the record-tying afternoon raised his average 26 points to .327. "I had not been seeing the ball too well the last week or so, so it was my plan to relax at the plate today. It worked out," he said. "Obviously, the situation dictated the pitch I was looking for, but I was just looking for something to drive. "I think in the back of my mind I had just got away from being committed to my plan. Sometimes when failure comes, you lack confidence and start to press too much. I've been working with my hitting coach, Joe Kruzel, getting in position early and getting my front foot down quicker to drive the ball." Joseph (1-2) ended up getting the win, despite allowing four runs on four hits over four innings. Bees starter Seth Frankoff surrendered six runs -- five earned -- on seven hits and a walk while striking out two in 2 2/3 innings. Eliezer Mesa went 4-for-6 with a triple and four RBIs, while B.A. Vollmuth and Bobby Crocker each collected three hits for the Bees.

Well within one day my complete physique has changed. I woke up one morning with pains in my back after falling asleep in a weird position as I was watching TV. Worked out that day and an hour later I had intense pain in my back and then the next day my arm went numb. Worked out lightly to test my muscles and noticed that my right chest (pec) and tricep has lost over 70% mass and strength in two days -- actually maybe worse than 70%. Used to be able to do 12 dips with 100lb dumbell in between my legs. Then I noticed what looked like under my right pec my ribs shifted. Still trying to figure out how to fix this. ...depressing that I lost control of my health and physique. Any help is appreciated!
Doctors said I had a herniated disk in the C6-C7 area and said they were 99.9% sure but did not recommend an MRI since it would only rule out a tumor or it would be necessary only if I was getting surgery -- too young for that. Anyway, its been 4 months and my chest or triceps have not changed. I was stronger in the 5th grade, seriously. My left side is rock solid.
Anyone heard of this or have any ideas as to who I should see? I think I need a specialized physical therapist but cannot find anyone who has any experience "reawaking" muscles or "shifting" my ribcage back. ...actually still clueless why it looks like under my right pec that my ribcage is sticking out further than my left "solid" side. ...all in one bad nights sleep!

I'm sorry to ask you about something old, since this happened a month ago, but I'm here to ask you what do you think about the Kevin Smith / Southwest Airlines incident.
I think it is important that you talk about it on your show for a couple of reasons:
The most people that got to hear about it, the better.
You're a natural critic.
I've saw people's reaction on the Internet and a lot of people are on the side of the company and that absolutely scares me, because seems like I'm part of a minimal percentage who doesn't have to be fat to realize it's absurd what happened with Kevin !
I'm not a die-hard fan of Kevin Smith or anything, but I think justice is justice. And I'm counting you know about this story because, I believe, you're friends with him.
I'm sorry if this is asking too much, since it ain't about movies or TV, but I think it's important. Congratulations on your show. What you got going on there it's pretty awesome.
All the best,
Bruno Santos
