I bought these chair pads thinking that they were a good deal....I was wrong in so many ways! First, they are not washable! In today's society with busy schedules, kids and pets, how can you have a product that is not washable? My son spilled on one of the cushions within the first two weeks and now it is ruined. Second, the microfiber attracts pet hair and dander like a lint roller should. Third, they are poorly constructed. I have had them now about three weeks and already two of the cushions have sprung holes in them where the rather narrow string attaches them to the kitchen chairs. My son was quite dismayed, as was I, as we watched these cushions fall apart before our very eyes. The only good that came of this purchase was.......now I am sure I do not want a microfiber couch in my home!
The pads are too thick and lumpy making sitting for any length of time very uncomfortable. On the bright side I suppose.. it makes one get up from the table much faster, thus assisting my weight loss program!!
I put these on my dining room chairs, which are rarely/never used. Two have already ripped (the ties are ripped off). And it was near impossible to cut off the white tags without ripping the seams or cutting the fabric, even using a seam ripper. I had to re-sew the seams on a few. But I didn't want to leave these huge white tags hanging off them. Also, they are kind of lumpy to sit on, not very comfortable.
extremely happy with my purchase could not find similar chair pads locally in any store would definitely use oversotck.com for another purchase
The old chair pads I had were stained, had flattened out, and just did not look good any more. Since our chairs are the only kitchen/dining chairs that we own (our house is a small beach house) I was looking for something inexpensive that would look nice. I needed 8 cushions and did not want to "spend my life savings" replacing the old pads. The cushions themselves look great. They have a nicely micro fiber reversible cushioned pad. The only problem I have experienced at all, is that the ties are not sewn on very tightly. One ripped the first week I had them on the chairs. If that had not happened I would have given this product 5 stars, but I suspect I will be restitching others are they work their way loose. If you are looking for something inexpensive that looks and feels nice, I would definitely recommend these. Just keep your needle and thread handy.
the product tags are very hard to remove part of the tag remains in the stitching
These pillows were my first Overstock return. Pay close attention to the dimensions under the product description. What I received was not what I ordered. The dimensions have since been revised on the product description. These pillows would maybe fit a child's chair - and, in my opinion, should not be sold as a regular chair cushion. I also thought the fabric was extremely flimsy and cheap. I absolutely do NOT recommend these chair cushions. I do have to say, however, that the customer service at Overstock is exceptional - my return was basically painless. Overstock is all about customer service - very impressive.
These cushions are great, but you have to be aware that they are deep. That may affect their usefulness for some folks. I think they are attractive and comfortable.
The chair covers are excellent in quality, they fit the chair seat just right, the color is exactly what it looks like online abd they are very comfortable.
Love the chair pads. Would have liked more of a pattern variety.

An adventurous and interesting route that has seen very few ascents--the original summit register is still there after 40 years. Only a handful of ascents had been made until the 90s and now it seems only about 20-30 (at least by who signed the register). Anyway, if you do plan on climbing this route, a new register is in order since the old one has nearly fallen apart. Find the route per the description on the rock page. This route can be climbed in 5 pitches, but the last two-three are easy to get to and of better quality. Fix a rope on two trees near the edge of the rim, just above the notch to the spire below. A 50m rope will reach all the way to the notch bottom. P1: Start on the left side of the notch up an easy ramp to a small crack. Look for two old bolts (relics of the FA I'm guessing) and a bolt with a missing hanger. This section can be easily aided or free climbed at 5.9, but you wouldn't want to fall on these bolts--they've really seen their better days. Move up to the top of a small block under a large, R-facing dihedral. Aid up this thin crack using the micro cams, TCUs, and small stoppers (down to #2). This goes clean thanks to the old pin scars, but the rock is a little soft. After aiding up the corner, it is not too bad to free-climb the rest of the pitch at about 5.8, but it is a little spicy since the rock is a little crumbly in spots. Belay on top of a pedestal where there are two drilled angles for protection. P2: Move up the ramp to a large flake using some large stoppers and med-lrg Friends for pro. Clip an old drilled angle, then move around the corner to the right. Belay at the base of a short offwidth crack. P3: Tackle the nice OW (5.8) and use a large piece like a #5 Camalot or similar. If you don't have one, a medium stopper and a small Alien can be used in a thin seam on the left. Top out and enjoy the view! Descent: There are two possibilities for making it back to the canyon rim. 1: Rap back to the notch with TWO 50m ropes, then jug back up your fixed line 150ft. The anchor on top is two drilled angles and some old webbing--bring a knife and a new piece of cord with you to replace some old stuff and inspire a little more confidence. 2: From the start of the route, attach your fixed line from the canyon rim to yourself and bring it up to the summit. A tyrolian can be set up here with this line and your additional lead line. We did not do this method, but on second thought, it seems like more fun and less work than bringing a 3rd rope and jugging back up 150ft. One other thing about the tyrolean logistics is the 50m fixed line will not reach the start of the route, so you'll have to attach it on the lead line and pull it up when you're about 1/2 way up the pitch.
Some Aliens or small TCUs, RPs, Friends #0.5-2, 4, and a #5 Camalot or similar if you have one. At least two 50m ropes are required--three if you don't tyrolean back across.
Fun route Follow Mr. Mottingers beta, it's quite correct. Except for the concern over a new register. I took care of that. H.b. offsets would have kicked butt. I tyroleaned out, but wished I would have opted for the less "holloywood" descent. I was by myself, so I had to go back and forth. I don't see how the A0 bolts on the 1st pitch could rate 5.9. It looked much harder than that, with a wafer flake to boot. I would recommend this route to anyone. -tda
Troy- of course you left the old register on top, right?
Of course, I appreciate the history in those things. This one is especially cool, because it's not like Castleton, where it's frustrating to navigate between the graffitti and actual history.
Bummer, I did this climb with Bill Wright some years ago and didn't see the register. I remember the second pitch is somewhat loose. Also, the OW on pitch 3 looked harder than 5.8 - this can be aided if you're feeling weak. This is better than a 1 star route!
Southwest Defile goes free now. This one is good for a quickie if you have the jugs and a rope to fix. Avoid the three aid bolts and traverse right out of the notch for forty feet (5.7s) to the base of a nice, overhanging, thin-hands corner. Belay here. Fire up this thirty-forty foot section into an easy choss band and on to the crux, which is very thin and loose but pulls up through an nice splitter next to a corner. Pin scars for pro, so bring the HB offsets. Belay at the anchors and then off around the corner (looks much worse than it really is). Good for the Momument but not on par with Sundial or the Medicne Man.
Excellent solo on clean aid 03/17/07. Careful of those bolts on pitch 1! It would be wacky to try and free past these... even if it was only 5.9. And 5.8 for the last pitch?! Glad I had the #5 Camalot. Whoever does this tower next, please bring a register book and some pencils/pens. The summit register ammo box is great. But the 1 pencil and 1 pen are fried and there are only a couple of blank sheets of paper as the register. Note that the original register is still there but VERY VERY fragile. Be careful with it. Very historic with some great names... It needs to be put into it's own zip lock for preservation and left in place.
These bolts are definitely not that inspiring, but they're a pretty cool relic of the original ascent... 50+ year old star drives with homemade angle iron hangers. Perhaps someone could replace the rivet/hangerless bolt below the two star drives with a solid bolt and leave the others in place for character. Just a thought. This is a cool route that's definitely worth doing, although not quite as good (or hard) as its neighboring route Relics. Also, #5 cam = old #5

Anyone know if I can use this as a webcam to live stream? Looking for something with optical zoom live stream 720p thanks in advance!
The batteries on these are not too good, about an hour of on-time is all you get. I decided to use a Motorolla car charger (got at thrift store for a dollar) and the correct end for this camera (look around, you will find some on other various chargers) and a small 12v dc battery from an APC in a backpack. Run the cord out, plug into camera and you have a huge extended battery. Some simple soldering is all you need to make it work. You can try other car chargers, but most do not have the amperage requirement. 700ma minimum with 850 and above preferred. This idea worked great for me and only cost a few dollars (any 12v battery will work, even small ones, mine is a 5Ah) instead of the 70 or so it is for a JVC one and it will last so much longer, and I can also charge the camera in a car if I forget to do it somewhere else. The motorolla car charger will look kind of like a cobra, the end on it is not important as it will be cut off. They use a linear voltage regulator if I am correct as they can take a wide variety of inputs and give out a constant output.. Just my .02 from the JVC GZ-HM30 bought in a previous woot-off. It seems the only advantage here is 8gb internal. Not worth the 50 bucks more to me, but great camera for the money none the less!
Did something go terribly wrong? This is the 7th comment and it's been an hour. Did the Zombies, Russians, or Zombie Russians finally take over?
This camera looks great; however, the short battery life reports are a little daunting.

That's neat, but... Armored Personnel Carriers are hard to come by around here. Is there some other military vehicle you could steal a suitable battery from?

Yes they have. I am in VEGAS and all I see are Russians and zombies.
Just bought one with the next day delivery.....i really really need this by friday....as we are leaving on a trip on Saturday night.... Hope woot can help make it on time!! Thanks Woot
I bought the HM30, an earlier version of this last year, and in comparing the specs between the two models, they appear to be pretty much identical save for the 8GB of internal memory on this new model. That being the case, I suspect that the performance of the sensor, lens, etc. are probably going to be equal between the two, and if so, I can re-iterate some thoughts I had regarding the earlier one that I suspect will apply equally to this one: In an attempt to do multi-camera product review videos on a budget, I wanted an extra camcorder to handle a close-up angle of the product table, but I couldn't afford to spend much on it. The zoom lens of the HM30 camcorder sounded very appealing, and it has worked out perfectly to suit my needs. (Note: it seems that this HM50 boasts the same lens specifications.) You can see an example of its use in this video here - http://youtu.be/0puBcNWAH7A it is the one used for the front facing close up shots like the ones found at the :53 second mark, the 1:46 mark, etc. Keep in mind that this was a green-screen composite, and even with such a cheap camcorder, I was able to achieve enough dynamic range to pull a decent key. You can also see it in the opening introduction shot of this video: http://youtu.be/hth6t24-Ihc and it did a decent job for what I needed, but that one may not be the best representation because it was down-rezzed for post before uploading. But there are a couple of caveats to be mindful of with this model. 1.) Solid imaging balance is typically achieved as a collaboration of the lens system and the sensor. The lens in this model is incredible, especially for the price. But the sensor is pretty lousy, so it may not produce great results in some scenarios, including low-light conditions, etc. I would equate this sensor to be roughly equivalent to a really good quality webcam, but as it is a low-priced budget camcorder, I think the lousy quality of the sensor is a heavy factor for it being so low priced. I get good results from it because I use it in well lit controlled shooting environments. 2.) The interface is a bit klunky. I use complex camcorders for my professional work, but I also have several cheap pocket camcorders for playing around with, such as models by Panasonic, Kodak, and Flip. I see these budget models as being intended largely for a technophobic or convenience crowd that just wants a quick and simple approach to catching a shot. Just a couple of buttons and a simple interface is beneficial here, but this Everio model is not as simple and comfortable to use as other devices in its class. You can figure it out quickly enough, but the interface just doesn't seem very intuitive. 3.) Although the description says the footage can be uprezzed to 1080p, it actually shoots in 720p, which is perfectly fine for my needs, and probably most other folks too, especially since you're shopping for a camcorder in this price range. If you're shopping for a 1080p device with stunning crystal clear optics, you're going to spend a lot more than what this Everio is going for. 4.) The codec is AVCHD Lite. This is a newer formulation of consumer level HD codecs, and while I won't get into the geeky specs about it, I'll just say that it can be a pain to work with in some cases. Your editing application of choice may need to be updated to handle this codec as it is not compatible with all applications and platforms. Several Windows-based apps may handle it fine, (and it comes with a Windows based application...for what it's worth) but Mac users may need to jump through a few hoops to successfully import this footage. (It can be done, I do it regularly). In some cases, where importing from the SD card through a card reader doesn't work (and I'm not going to go into workarounds here), you might find success importing via USB directly from the camcorder. (Don't ask - it's complicated.) And I'm not sure about it's compatibility with tablet-based video editing apps. 5. The battery life for this thing is unquestionably the worst I've ever seen. Stock up on those batteries because you're gonna need 'em if you plan to be out and about for a bit of shooting. That all being said, If you can work with the AVCHD Lite codec, I think this thing is a steal at this price. The form factor is light and comfortable enough, I like having the built-in lens cover. (very handy), HDMI and component output options are cool, and in my opinion, a decent 40x zoom lens at this price point is pretty much incomparable. If I didn't already have the HM30 doing what I needed so well, I'd probably jump at this one right way despite it being $50 more for the internal storage - I hope that info is helpful for your decision making.
How long is the battery life on this?

On the earlier model HM30, I get roughly one hour, tops, and expect this would be about the same.
Ugh, woot- what is it with your products being a pain in the butt to find the product manuals on tonight? The only way to view these is to enter a code to prove you're not a robot and download the file to your hard drive (after 2 or 3 attempts) Here is the manual for this camera En Espanol and English.
lunaparcel... What are the hoops to getting the files to Mac and usable on mac OS etc? You said you do it all the time etc Can you spell that out? what software? Whats the end format on Mac - MOV file?
I actually have the gz-hm690u model (most of the same specs but with 64 gig of internal space) and am very pleased with the camera so far. The quality is very good and the camera does come with it's own uploading and editing software which is very easy to use (on my PC, don't know about a Mac). I will say that the overall battery life after a full charge is ~45-55 minutes so I splurged and bought the bn-vg-138u battery through the store.jvc.com site. That battery lasts ~4 hours. However, it is sold out on the site and the closest comparable price is at bhphotovideo.com I give it 4.5/5.

I once zapped a $1,200 camera by rigging a similar thing...just a warning to those who think that hooking up the power is as simple as powering an old cassette recorder. Sometimes (for example) 6V DC with the correct polarity isn't enough information.
I am not a gadget guru. My friend tells me that the video from this is equal to much more expensive cameras. That being said-it is a royal pain to download onto my pc.
bjave wrote:Anyone know if I can use this as a webcam to live stream? Looking for something with optical zoom live stream 720p thanks in advance!
Well not really. It has a plug that gives you composite out at 720xwhatever, and I guess you could add a video capture dongle to that, but that is not what you seem to want. If you find a decent webcam with a zoom, let me know too. I'm looking for that as well.
troyhager wrote:lunaparcel... What are the hoops to getting the files to Mac and usable on mac OS etc? You said you do it all the time etc Can you spell that out? what software? Whats the end format on Mac - MOV file?
You can convert it to your mac using the opensoruce package Mencoder, which to me means you can probably also use FFmpeg for mac too. It is slow, but it works fine.
My only 2 cents. The mic is terrible. It is fine for family video, but not good for anything that you don't want background noise in. There is no way to plug in an external mic. that is unless you take the lens cover mount off, remove the mic and wire in a 1/8" photo jack. It's annoying, but possible. that being said, the video is great, especially for the price.
Like most of the camcorders today there is no infrared for night filming.
I had one of these only older that I purchased from Home Shopping Network years ago. It worked great and the battery lasted a long time. It is disappointing to read the reviews since I am looking for a replacement. My house was broken into and they got my cameras. Maybe WooT will have an affordable camera with a battery that is better than the battery that Betty bought.
Got one of these a while back on Woot. Does take great video, which doesn't seem to be a big thing any more with the availability of electronics these days so that's not really a plus. But the operation of the camera is clunky, the software is extremely poor and battery life stinks. Two thumbs down. Sorry.
Can anyone tell me more about the Windows CD included and what functions it offers? And how's the low light video quality?
I've noticed some of you have disparaging comments for this product. Do you have a better suggestion at or around this price? If so, please provide a link.
Great review and great information, lunarparcel. Thank you very much for this.

Thanks for giving him acknowledgement steevo
It may be easier and less expensive to just load the video files on to some old Win XP PC and convert the files to something a Mac can accept.
In for one. All I need is a small video recorder to document oil changes and basic maintenance items on three cars and a tractor for warranty purposes. I could take still pictures but having a record of the actual work from start to finish is my best insurance should something go wrong, especially since I know what I am doing with the procedures. I think setting this thing up on a tripod and pointing at the car or tractor I'm working on will not tax it too much. I really don't want to spend more than this considering my main purpose, even if I might take it on vacations once in a while.
Woot had this item on i thought for cheaper a few weeks ago. Can anybody explain why the price went up?!
I own an older model. The camera isn't the problem. The format of the video; mod is an obscure format that most editing software won't work with. The editing/rendering software that is included is ridiculously clumsy and frustrating. Want something easy to work with? Try a different camera.
I'm wondering about streaming live video as well. Will this camera stream video in "camera" mode over HDMI or can the HDMI only be used for playback?
No mic jack. Pass.
I'm also interested in using this cam, or something like it, for real-time video capture. I need, in essence, a webcam with a zoom lens, fast shutter speed, and decent resolution: 720p is fine but the 'p' (progressive scan) is mandatory. The manual for this thing seems to indicate that we can get 720p out of the 'component video cable' for playback, which would be great - if it works while recording as well. Have any of you tried this, or do any of you have any recommendations for something different? Thanks in advance.
So here's some relevant info about the codec structure this unit uses, and importing the contents into a Mac. (Some info also may be relevant to a PC, but as there is a wider range of Windows based applications, some of which may natively be able to import from this file structure, I cannot cover them with my lack of specific experience with Windows NLEs.) The format is a variation of AVCHD commonly known as AVCHD Lite and is written to the memory card in a convoluted series of nested folders - a construct that is necessary for some applications to properly identify and initiate the import process. Fairly unintuiviely, the actual video files are located on the SD card in Private>AVCHD>BDMV>STREAM. They will be found there, listed as .MTS files. (Note: this file path is in reference to using the SD card on the earlier HM30. As the HM50 also includes 8GB of onboard storage, I can't say for sure if this file structure is also laid out the same in that instance.) This .MTS file may be compatible 'as is' with some post production software, but in many cases, requires transcoding before being imported to an editing application. In some cases, when importing is initiated directly from the camcorder via USB, this transcoding happens automatically as part of the import process. As is typical with many camcorders, you have 2 options for importing: 1.) Directly from the camcorder via USB, or 2.) dragging it onto your system or NLE directly from the SD card via a card reader. Importing via USB is the recommended procedure for importing contents form this type of codec structure. This is because some of the requisite file wrapper info and associated meta data is not directly written into the content file, but rather resides on the camcorder itself, and is intended to communicate with your NLE (Non Linear Editor) to negotiate file identification, transcoding, and importing. You can do this with the NLE on your Mac, but you are required to have the latest version of the NLE, and recommended to have the latest build as well. I have done so numerous times successfully using the latest version of iMovie and the latest version of Adobe Premiere Elements - although in most cases, I have found that the first attempt fails to be recognized, but it works on the second attempt. I have a previous version of Final Cut Pro which will not recognize this file structure, but I am quite certain that you can use Final Cut Pro X and the latest version of Adobe Premiere Pro to the same end as noted above with iMovie and Premiere Elements. It is important to note that unlike most other camcorders, the handshake between the unit and your NLE must be negotiated on both ends. When connecting via USB and setting up your NLE for import, you must also use the onboard menu system of the camcorder to initiate an upload. When the connection is sensed by the camcorder, you must select from the on-screen options to "Connect to PC" and then "Upload". One of the biggest drawbacks of this approach is that the camcorder must be turned on to allow transfer of contents. Since the disparagingly short life of the battery may be a hindrance to efficiency in this case, be so advised to ensure your battery is sufficiently charged, or be sure to plug the camera to AC charger for the duration. (The camera bypasses the battery if operated when plugged into AC power and will work fine.) The second option is to import the .MTS file directly from the SD card using a card reader. As my experience pertains to the earlier HM30, which writes to the card, I am not certain how it plays out on the HM50, which hosts 8GB of onboard storage. While the HM50 also hosts a card slot, I don't know if there are options to designate where the files are written to, or if it only defaults to filling up the onboard storage first before writing to the added card. Perhaps someone else can chime in on this factor. In any case, making use of this .MTS file on the Mac requires some extra effort. The file is not natively compatible with the Quicktime engine or Mac-based NLEs. You will need to open the .MTS file using a compatible transcoding application that can apply a compatible content wrapper and transcode the file. There are a few free open-source transcoders out there that have become reputable mainstays for a number of codec structures, but with .MTS may be a crapshoot. I've tried a couple, but the lack of intuitive use and persistence of build issues can be a daunting for some users. A reliable for-pay option is an application called Voltaic HD, which I have found to work perfectly when faced with these types of content files. (I am occasionally given client content to work with on memory cards, without access to the device on which it was shot.) It was pretty costly when I first bought it, but is now being sold in the Mac App Store at a significantly reduced price. So I would suggest your options would be to either import directly from the camcorder if your NLE is compatible with the unit for direct USB import, or buy Voltiac if you want to import from the memory card or wish to use the contents in a version of your NLE that is not directly compatible with the codec structure. Hope this helps.
You're welcome. And thank you for your acknowledgement. It is appreciated.
I had a very similar JVC camera brought from Costco... I believe it is exactly the same thing. I gave $270 for that 3 months back. The product number does not match since the manufacturers make a different product code for Costco (since it includes free stuff like camera cover). But I think it was essentially the same thing. I returned it this week since I was disappointed by the battery life. 1 and a half hour tops! I took this camera for my daughters project - she did a video tour of a mission. Half way down the recording the camera went dead and I had to take the rest of the video in my iPhone! The zoom and the picture quality is awesome. However it is a little slow to auto focus to the area we point to. With this sucky battery life it is near useless and hence I recommend you stay away from this.

Citizens of Heaven
I spent a lot of my early years in Africa trying to create a home for my family. When packing, I agonized over how much of America to stuff into Ziplock baggies. I packed shoes in five sizes for the kids to grow into and rolled packets of taco seasoning inside the toes to save space. I thought about holidays and recipes and music and toys and books.
But then we left. Evacuated in 30 minutes with one suitcase and a backpack. Three months and two countries later, we tried to establish a home again. Now we are ending a year in the States while my husband pursued a doctorate degree and where we tried, again, to establish a home —a home we will leave in two months.

Breast Reduction Surgery
Many women each year consider breast surgery. Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is chosen by many women because of its ability to alter appearance as well as its added health benefits. Many women will experience neck, back, and shoulder pain because of the added weight of large breasts. Having breast reduction surgery can alleviate these problems in most women. Other women seek to improve their visual image because their breasts are disproportionate to other features of their bodies. This surgery can improve self esteem and self confidence just as much as breast augmentation can.
As with any surgery, there are potential risks and it is very important to make sure that a potential patient chooses a surgeon who is certified, experienced, professional, and maintains a clean office environment. It is also a good idea to research surgeons online. Looking at what past clients have to say is a very helpful way to check on the effectiveness of a surgeon. Surgeons should be accredited and have licenses to practice medicine. Many surgeons offer free consultations so it is advised that potential patients visit several doctors before deciding on the one that will perform their breast reduction surgery.
Potential candidates for surgery will meet with their surgeon and have their breasts examined and measured. The surgeon will also take a detailed medical history. Women who are approved for surgery usually has one or more conditions that are caused by their breasts. These conditions include: back, neck or shoulder pain caused by heavy breasts, irritation beneath the breasts, damage to the shoulders because of tight bra straps, breasts that are out of proportion to the body frame, restriction of physical activity because of the weight of the breasts, and self consciousness because of the size of the breasts.
Breast reduction surgery is most often done as an outpatient procedure and unless the patient's job requires heavy lifting, they can return to their normal work schedule in about two weeks.
Many insurance companies cover breast reduction surgery. Each policy has specific guidelines about what surgeries they cover and the amount of tissue that can be removed based on body weight. Patients will have to work out the specifics with their surgeon and insurance companies. Letters of predetermination may be required in order for the insurance company to approve the surgery.
A majority of women who have breast reduction surgery are satisfied with the experience and happy to live without the pain and discomfort of large breasts.

The Navarre Beach Volunteer Fire Department board of directors is hoping to rewrite the bylaws governing the corporation before the department turns 20 in November.
"The bylaws haven't been looked at, really…they were written 20 years ago," explained Ken Rudzki, board member. "They need to be updated, cleaned up."
During a board meeting last October, the issue of the board potentially violating its own bylaws was discussed. That matter was also part of a charge filed by the department's firefighters' union local 4494 with the National Labor Review Board in December.

SYRACUSE -- A Syracuse teenager is alive and well after police say he falsely reported his own kidnapping.
According to Syracuse Police Sgt. Tom Connellan, late Thursday night 16-year-old Bobby Loper, Jr. of Syracuse was reported missing after last being seen on Butternut Street near Lodi Street. Police said Loper was witnessed walking alone and talking on his cell phone, and was thought to be headed home from Mary Street to Beecher Street.
After an all-night search, police say they located Loper unharmed at a friend's house. They allege he sent his family and friends phony text messages saying he had been abducted and needed help. Police sent out a news release and photo to the news media and performed a search, and located the 5'7", 185 pound Loper early Friday morning.
Police have not stated if any charges will be filed against Loper.

Recipe by R.Upchurch
"This is a recipe I made-up after eating LOADS of bland chicken breasts. Chicken is so easy to prepare and this recipe makes the meat extra tender and juicy."
Watch video tips and tricks
3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon dried minced onion
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
This popped into my email as a new recipe and I had chicken in the fridge so I tried it last night. I'm glad I did! It was so easy to marinate during the day - pop it into the oven and you have a great weeknight meal. While it was baking I could work on the other dishes. I did not use red pepper flakes and used fresh rosemary and fresh garlic. My husband said "wow, this is good!". Make this dish!
Not a bad recipe, but I agree with one of the other reviewers: that the variety spices were virtually indestinguishable from the balsamic. (I used a high-quality balsamic, maybe that's why) I'd recommend the following additions/changes: -5-6 cloves of fresh garlic -Soy sauce (1/4 cup or so) -a bit of brown sugar Tasty! thank you!
224 Ratings
I used fresh garlic and put bread crumbs on the chicken before baking. (Baked on a cooling rack to keep the bread crumbs from getting soggy on the bottom.) Otherwise, I was faithful to the recipe, and my husband and I were both in agreement that the chicken was very moist and flavorful.
I love balsamic vinegar, but one of these spices doesn't belong and I think it's the chili powder. Next time, I'll omit that. Instead of water, I added 1/4 c. of olive oil and used fresh minced garlic instead of dried. I let this marinate for four hours (could have used more time). We grilled these and they came out nice. The combination of balsamic and the heat from the red pepper flakes was a nice change.
We were so sick of tasteless chicken that when this came into my email as a new recipe, I just had to try it. I didn't have the rosemary nor the parsley flakes but I had everything else. It has a tang and wonderful taste that is completely different. My husband has already asked when I will make this again. Soon, honey.
I marinated for about 1.5 hrs and then grilled it and it was GREAT! Wouldn't change a thing!
I did not have the minced onion, so I used dried chives I had. I did use fresh garlic also. Other than that 1/2 the recipe for 2 split breasts in the oven and basted with the marinade. I had marinated in the fridge for 1 hour. I love it... It was great flavor..
Fabulous! Marinated for about two hours, and then grilled on the BBQ on med-low for 30 minutes - moist and full of flavor - entire family loved it!

"When you see a player in and out, in every city in the NHL and at his best," he said. "All those games at the Pacific Coliseum and then in others cities, in Florida and New York. You have a chance to see the artist. You can see something special coming out every time. It's a gift to be able to understand the game right and to be in position to get the puck and score the goal. You have to cherish that as a player, a teammate and a friend.

NK Damages South Korea's Global ImageContributing Writer As awareness of Korea spreads around the world with the country's growing importance, so too do negative perceptions. When asked why, it's very easy for both expatriates and Koreans to get over-zealous. After the 2002 World Cup some leading figures were gathered in a national image committee under the Prime Minister's office. Instead of figuring broad strategic matters, their first meeting dived straight into the mire of minor tactics. There was discussion, for example, of how to order restaurants to stop using toilet rolls as napkins. I similarly recall one expatriate discussion on improving Korea's PR be distracted by cheese, specifically its availability and excessive price. Just as it is important to avoid irrelevant complaints and the urge to correct public behavior as if citizens were naughty schoolboys, so we must resist whining about what can't be changed. One of my pet peeves is that Korea's political leaders don't communicate well. They can be helped by speechwriters and communications specialists, but the fact remains that articulate discourse plays a small role in political persuasion here. People do not express themselves clearly. In fact, those who do are often viewed with suspicion. How many times have we seen a powerful figure clear his throat noisily in the microphone and go ``erm" and ``uh" as if consciously dumbing down to make himself appear more trustworthy? That won't change until the education system does. There are many ugly things about Korea, from the apartment blocks that wreck the countryside to bullying in schools. But the exercise of national branding does not require us to clean up everything with the sole motive of improving out image. The problem arises when the negative associations outweigh the good. Think of a country which has a good brand like, say, France, and you will find plenty of ugly things. But, what actually comes to mind? Yes, wine, good food, beautiful countryside and topless beaches. How can we perform the same magic trick with Korea? The positive, of course, cannot be forced. It must be naturally pointed out and it must be there and be real in the first place to be pointed out. Branding is a nudging exercise, nudging people to focus on a few good things over the bad. Having said that, if there's a real overriding issue in your country, and you can't distract attention from it, the key issue then becomes your response to it. Rather than guess at all this, we need to start by looking at what people say about Korea. Surveys show that the best known fact about Korea is that there are two of them. The ball and chain for South Korea is its association with the other one. North Korea may well be the bottom of the pile in terms of national image. This is bad news for the nice people in North Korea. But their country only makes the news when their atrocious leadership behaves badly. It is a failed state, run by people whose noteworthy skill is their willingness to be uncompromisingly ruthless in the suppression of any challenge to their power. Many folk in far off lands who we would like to think well of us get North and South Korea mixed up, mainly, I'm sure, because in English they both call themselves ``Korea." Their Korean names are distinct. We might think their ignorance is unimportant, but we're trying to attract tourists and investors and both make decisions based on false impressions. More knowledgeable investors and visitors who do know the difference between the Koreas also consider the two far more connected than we residents do. We know the plan here is to do whatever we can to avoid unification, but the world seems to think that it is bound to happen sooner or later. When you live in Seoul, you can completely ignore North Korea and be confident of going to Jeju for a holiday or investing in a local start-up without preparing a sudden exit strategy. But when outsiders think of visiting or investing, North Korea looms along with labor unions and anti-foreign ``public sentiment," as a potential threat. And, let's ask, which group is the more ignorant? Let me put that question another way: What is the likelihood of warfare, and how many will die violently, before this is all over? This overriding perception of South Korea as being surgically connected to its psychotic brother cannot be denied, at least not without a constitutional change. The South Korean Constitution considers the entire peninsula to be our territory and requires the government to seek re-unification with the rebel-held sector to the north, although fortunately it doesn't stop us from putting this off for 100 years. Given that reality, we have to work with the association of North Korea. As simplistic as it sounds, South Korea must clearly demonstrate with words and action that it is different from North Korea. I'm not suggesting a brand slogan of ``Not North Korea." Rather, South Korea should more actively seek to demonstrate that it is worlds apart in terms of values and lifestyle. The President, as the country's brand manager, must without diluting the serious security elements of the issue, position the country as safe, confident, reasonable, democratic and open for business, rather than assume the world knows it is.

Context menus are generally quite useful, and the "Send to" utility in particular comes in very handy when managing files on Windows. The good thing about this little tool is that it can be easily customized to include those folders and apps you use on a frequent basis, and the best of all is that you can do it without having to install any third-party app.
All you need to do is go to this specific location in your Windows 7 system: C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo and add shortcuts to all the folders or applications you want to have in your Send to menu. You'll see them right there the next time you right click on any file.

Our tipster says this is the HP Slate 500.
We've gotten our hands on a handful of leaked photos of what is purportedly the upcoming HP Slate 500 tablet. Following on the hands-on video found on YouTube last week, this is the second recent appearance of a Windows version of this much-delayed tablet.
These pics, courtesy of a tip provided to our pals at Buzz Out Loud, show a tablet running Windows 7, along with a docking stand (with USB and HDMI ports), and a leather-like case with a hole cut in it for the rear-facing camera.
The same can go for shutting down. The good news: There are steps you can take to shave seconds, even minutes, off of both processes.
Use Your Cores
Windows 7 is the first version of the operating system that can use all processor cores to speed bootup. There's just one problem: the feature is not active by default.
You can change that, though. Open Windows 7's Start menu, type "msconfig," and click the msconfig.exe entry that appears. The System Configuration dialog box opens.

1. Virtualise applications and user settings
Desktop virtualisation commands much of the attention in the IT market today, with some vendors saying the technology will ease migration to Windows 7. But this isn't the only type of virtualisation that can make Windows 7 upgrades and future OS migrations easier than they might otherwise be.
Two technologies to consider are application virtualisation and user virtualisation. Nik Gibson, the enterprise desktop practice leader at Forsythe, a technology consulting firm, has worked with many large enterprises on virtualisation projects, and says it's often easier to virtualise applications than desktops. "We see that a lot. It takes longer to virtualise the desktops than the applications," he says. "The desktops are more unique," with various use cases depending on the employee.

New Holland Fire Protection District uses grant to decrease personnel response time in emergencies
A simple text message can save a life
Mason City Monsanto site supports local organization
Send a link to a friend
[September 23, 2013] NEW HOLLAND -- Many people use text messaging for communicating social information, but they may not realize that text messaging can help save lives. Thanks to the Mason City Monsanto, the New Holland Fire Protection District will be able to purchase a supplemental emergency alert notification and response system. Using a $3,000 grant from the Monsanto Fund, the dispatch center can now send text messages to first responders about an emergency in the area.
"Our department is very appreciative of the Monsanto Fund's support," said Todd David, co-chief of the New Holland Fire Department. "This grant will directly impact the members of our community."
The fire station sits on the outside edge of the department's radio range, so some volunteers do not receive emergency pages. The new emergency alert notification and response system monitors the radio and sends a text to all personnel if there is an emergency in the area. Firefighters can then choose different codes to text back, which will notify the station about their response status.
"The people in New Holland and the surrounding area rely on the volunteers to protect their businesses, homes and families," said John Endsley, Mason City Monsanto site lead. "We thought the fire department was deserving of this grant because these volunteers put their lives at risk to make sure our community is safe."
[to top of second column]
This year, the Monsanto Fund awarded 127 site grants to nonprofit organizations in 26 states. In Illinois alone, 18 site grants were awarded and totaled $201,100. The Monsanto Fund continues to provide support to organizations such as the New Holland Fire Protection District to help strengthen communities where farmers and Monsanto employees live and work.

The Department of Natural Resources Aquaculture Division would like to inform leaseholders of the US Army Corps of Engineers Baltimore District maintenance dredging schedule for Federal FY14 (Oct 1, 2013 - Sept 30, 2014). Because dredging activities have the potential to impact nearby leaseholders by temporarily elevating localized sedimentation and/or limiting lease access with dredge support vessels, leaseholders should review project plans and determine if it is necessary to take precautionary measures to protect product and equipment. Areas scheduled for dredging in FY14 include the Wicomico River, MD; Ocean City, MD in the Isle of Wight and Sinepuxent Bay channels; and in the Brewerton Channel in Baltimore Harbor.
For additional information and copies of the Corp's maintenance dredging project public notices, please visit the Army Corps of Engineers Baltimore District's Navigation Branch website. Notices for all sites may not yet be posted.

News Release
DANIELS ELECTRONICS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETES $1.3 MILLION CONTRACT TO ASSEMBLE AND TEST RADIO TELESCOPE RECEIVERSVictoria, B.C. Canada – March 16th, 2012 - Daniels Electronics Ltd., an international leader in the design, manufacture and service of specialized radio communications systems today announced it has successfully completed a $1.3 Million contract with the Canadian government for the assembly and test of radio receivers used in the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) development of 84-116 GHz heterodyne receivers for the international Atacama Large Millimeter array (ALMA) telescopes awarded back in late 2008. http://www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/projects/hia/receivers.html ALMA is located at 5000m elevation in the Chajnantor Plain of northern Chile. The resolution and sensitivity of the array will constitute a great leap forward compared to existing facilities, making it the world's pre-eminent radio astronomy facility of the next decades. NRC's contribution to the project is 73 extremely sensitive 84-116 GHz receivers. The nucleus of the receiver is a superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) tunnel mixer which down converts the RF signal collected by the radio telescope to an intermediate frequency (IF) signal centered at 6 GHz with a bandwidth of 4 GHz. A cryogenic high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) amplifier is used to amplify the IF signal by more than 30 dB before it is delivered to the ALMA Back-End System. The SIS detector and the HEMT IF amplifier must operate at a cryogenic temperature of 4 Kelvin. NRC has developed a cryogenic 4-8 GHz HEMT amplifier for this application. "Daniels has been very pleased to be a part of this prestigious project and to contribute our expertise in precision assembly and testing of radio electronics for the National Research Council of Canada," says Robert Small, President and Chief Operating Officer with Daniels Electronics. "The ability of a local Victoria company to compete, win and deliver ahead of schedule such advanced technology shows the depth of the high tech industry in Victoria and the level of expertise companies such as Daniels Electronics bring in support of our government's leading edge scientific developments." About Daniels Electronics Ltd.Daniels Electronics Ltd. is an international leader in the design, manufacture and service of specialized radio communications systems based upon North American standards. For the past 60 years Daniels has provided customers in North America and internationally with highly reliable trunked and conventional base stations, fixed and transportable repeaters and paging equipment that is environmentally robust and operates in rugged and extreme temperature conditions where low current consumption is a key requirement.

For me, church is not just a building or even a group of people who worship and serve together – it's something that happens.
As a kid I went to a rustic church camp tucked away in the hills of Arkansas. When my youth group first started going there, the cabins didn't have air conditioning and you needed to wear rubber-soled flip flops in the shower to avoid a slight shock.
The centerpiece of the camp was the chapel and it had only a dirt floor and a tin roof. No walls. No frills. One night, it started to storm. Rain came down in sheets and slammed into the tin roof, making it almost impossible to hear anything else. Within minutes of the start of service water ran down the aisles and formed puddles among the uncomfortable pews.
But just when it seemed worthless to stay and try to listen, a man stood to sing the old Southern hymn "When the Roll is Called up Yonder." It was as if he had swallowed a microphone. His deep voice carried from the front of that soaked little chapel all the way to the back, and as the words from the song washed over the congregation, things began to change. Teenagers started standing and thanking God for the changes they had seen in their lives, for the times he had helped them through rough spots and for the love he shared with them. Gratitude and grace entered the room and there, amid the mud and the rain, church happened –creating a moment that God might want to be part of, something sacred, powerful and unforgettable.
I've been back many times to that little chapel that now has a cement floor and a new roof. I've spent time in the opulence and beauty of the Vatican. I've had thoughtful conversations with groups of friends, and I've stood alone in my modest kitchen with just the buzzing of the refrigerator. In all of those places I've had extraordinary moments when I've felt close to God and faith has come alive for me.
Hopefully I'll have many more moments like that, wherever God would like to meet me.
