The Rackspace Cloud formally joined the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) in September 2009 as a Corporate Member and Solutions Provider Advisory Council Member. Participation in the CSA will further expand and support the Rackspace Cloud's vision of creating an Open Cloud. As a member on the Solutions Provider Advisory Council, The Rackspace Cloud will provide guidance and recommendations on strategic initiatives undertaken by the CSA and participating organizations. We believe engaging with the CSA and member organizations is an important step in an effort to provide unique insight into the security challenges facing The Rackspace Cloud, and to learn about security concerns organizations and individuals alike share in regards to Cloud Computing.
The Rackspace Cloud is one of the largest Cloud Computing providers and we understand the need for transparency and to act as a responsible steward. Cloud Computing continues to emerge as a significant technology enabler for many small to medium size businesses, start up ventures and individual consumers. In many cases the savings realized by using an on demand pay as you go computing platform are significant. Cloud Computing is becoming a preferred option for hosting and we do recognize there are inherent security challenges that come with shared computing environments. Some are naturally addressed by existing technology while others may require more research to determine a feasible approach. In both cases it's important that they be discussed, researched and clarified all in an effort to bring stability and reliability to Cloud Computing. This is why the CSA was created: to bring industry, non-profits, consumers and government together in an effort to educate, discuss, research and resolve Cloud Computing Security concerns.
Jim Reavis and Nils Puhlmann initially idealized the CSA in late 2008 to confront the overwhelming security concerns from the industry and the public at large surrounding Cloud Computing. This concept quickly caught on with other information security professionals, which led to the establishment of the CSA in December 2008. In less than a year the CSA has arguably emerged as the global leader promoting collaboration and research for addressing Cloud Computing security. The Rackspace Cloud is proud to participate as a leader in this forum and we look forward to providing valuable insight as a member organization.
Good on you, Rackspace!
Glad to have you in the fold. Hoping other cloud providers will step up, too.
Love to talk to you guys more about your efforts.

More reviews by amandawongjoyee
Everyone was raving at this product and all i have to say is that I agree with them! This smells amazing! It's nice and fresh. You can really smell the fruitiness in this perfume and slowly it develops into a nice sweet caramel and amber scent. I have been using this product for about 3 years and I am still in love with it until this day! It is in EDP so it will definitely last all day and it smells really good after a few hours getting a chance to blend in with my skin. Plus for the super cute bottle!
I know everyone has this but I love it. I live in Florida and tend to use it more in the cooler months as the caramel note can make it too strong for my liking. The bottle is pretty and the fragrance lasts all day. I already went through a couple of bottles and I think I'll have to get a new one soon. I don't seem to get tired of this scent.
Love this stuff! My new favorite perfume. The smell is so enticing. On me, I smell the first wiff of wild berries and mandarin, but then it goes directly to the caramel and amber. It skips the honeysuckle and gardenia on my skin, which cool by me because I'm not overly fond of those scents anyway. The good thing about this perfume is that I can imagine wearing it any time of year. I think it's a great summer perfume for those days at the beach and a good autumn/winter perfume for those nights around the campfire or fireplace. It just fits every time of year. I get so many compliments when I wear this perfume, from people I love and strangers, too. =)
comes in a very cute bottle. it has a great scent, seems to wear all day long. you need to make sure you dont apply too much or else it does get a bit annoying and sickening through out the day.

This isn't they type of perfume I would buy for myself. I'm a chypre/woodsy scent kind of gal. I received this for my Birthday from a a good friend. Her teenage daughters picked it out for me. It's very clean and refreshing. A great spring/summer scent. It's very long lasting. it's kind of young but I can pull it off. ( I think lol) I'm glad they got it for me and I very well may repurchase if and when I run out.

I received a sample vial of this in a swap today. WOW! This is my new HG! I am not usually a fan of sweet scents, but this one is different. It's a subtle, no too strong sweet, with a hint of caramel. I will be buying a bottle of this!!!
I LOVE THIS! This perfume gets me soo many compliments! Its super strong so all you need is one or two squirts. I really love this. ♥

This is a nice elegant scent.
Something you would wear out for dinner to a restaurant or to a casual BBQ with friends/ family.
3/5 for me!
This is another one of my signature perfumes. I was surprised that I actually liked this with it being a sweet smelling perfume and all. I don't usually like sweeter smelling scents since they tend to give me a headache. Not this one though. It is sweet but not an overdone, headache enducing sweet. I love the lasting power. Girls and guys compliment me when I wear this scent and my fiance loves it too! It is definitely a girly scent. I wish this was cheaper though. It is hard to find at outlet stores and all that you find are the small bottles which really aren't discounted that much.

My goal for this summer was to maintain, and I completely, terribly failed. Actually, I began failing before summer. It started in May, then end of the school year. My healthy habits completely fell apart. Over the course of May, June, and July, I gained about 30 pounds and countless inches. When I was in the states this summer, I bought new clothes to fit my new body shape, and by the time I came back to Venezuela, those clothes did not fit like they were supposed to. :(
When I came back in August, I weighed 210 and figured that some of that weight would come off without much trying like last year. Wrong. A little did, I guess. I was able to get to 203 without much work (mainly travel weight), but not any further. So what did I do? Decide it's back to working hard.
Last year, I posted two blogs about the seasons of my life and how they affect what my body does. There are times were I need to make sure to put hard work in to maintain or lose. There have been times when it has come easily. Last year (when combined with culture shock and a huge lifestyle change that came with it), I didn't have to work too hard to lose weight and inches. I did work hard to continue some healthy habits, but that was it. This year, that isn't the case. It's time to get back to working hard.
This week, I worked to reestablish my healthy habits. I tracked my food two days. I made a schedule for exercising and followed it, even going for an extra, long walk with my friend. I made a better schedule for when I needed to wake up to take my medicine. Now I am spending more time learning about God during the extra time that I am awake before I can eat breakfast (I need to wait an hour for my medicine to work, and I can tell that I haven't been waiting by how extra tired I have become). I took time for myself to read and relax after I worked out at night. I started listing 3 good things about my day before I went to bed. These healthy habits are so necessary. I have felt so refreshed with them in place. It's hard work to follow all of them, but when I do, I can feel the difference.
Guess what? Today when I tracked, these healthy habits (mainly exercise on some of the days) made a big difference. I'm back to ONEderland! My inches already started changing! Hopefully more of my clothes will fit soon! My healthy habits are changing my life and making me feel better and energized. It's hard work, but so worth it.
What healthy habits do you need to add or fix in your life?
Current Weight: 199.6
One year ago today, I ran my first half marathon. It was slow, especially the last few miles, but I did it. It took months of training to be ready for it, and I made it. It's an accomplishment that I still take pride in. If you want to read my post from then, it's here: http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=5365459.
Running a half marathon wasn't always a goal of mine, but as I started to change my lifestyle, I discovered that it sounded fun, challenging, and motivating. It was my motivation that kept me running and changing my life for seven months last spring. Even now, it's still motivation as I think, "Remember when I ran that half marathon? It took a lot of work, but I did it!"
Now a year later, a lot has changed. I've graduated college, moved to a different continent, and started a job. I'm in a completely different place in life than I was a year ago. Still, I continue to work on living a healthy lifestyle. I hope that I can always say that, no matter my location, age, or place in life.
I've been using SparkPeople consistently for two years this month. I've lost 70 pounds. Change is slow but steady, just like running that half marathon a year ago. This is a journey. It takes time, persistence, and motivation. There are ups and downs, but in the end, it's worth it. All that hard work and self control is worth it. No matter what, never give up!
May 2012: 250 lbs
May 2013: 208 lbs
May 2014: 180 lbs
One thing that I find very difficult and not talked about often is how difficult it can be to process and accept weight loss for some people. As a naturally shy person who doesn't necessarily like to stick out of the crowd (although sometimes I like to surprise people), I have a hard time with people making comments about my weight loss. When someone says something, it makes me feel all squirmy inside and want to change the subject right away. Lately, I've been losing a lot of inches and needing new clothes. I know that when I go home I will look different and probably receive comments from people, so I've been working on processing the change in me so that I can graciously accept comments.
One thing that I've done is compare myself now to how I looked 2 years ago. I've done this by comparing pictures and comparing measurements. To compare the measurements, I've even taken out my tape measure and set it to how big I was and put that around me so that I can see visually how much more room there is now. It's unbelievable! I've seen the change slowly, every day. To think like someone who hasn't seen me in a while, I can understand how surprised they might be because I truly have lost a lot of inches. I'm at a lower weight now than I was in eighth grade. That's huge!
Another way I've been processing the change is by planning what clothes I'm going to buy. I need to get rid of my 18s and XLs this summer. I'd do it now, but I live in Venezuela and can't find clothes that are in my style here. I think I need to buy 14s and larges (or maybe some mediums). I've been making specific lists about what needs to go and what I need to buy. It's exciting to see that clothes aren't fitting.
Finally, I've been talking with people. Last night, I shared with my mom my lists of clothes to buy and get rid of. This is really hard for me to share because I get embarrassed easily and feel uncomfortable knowing that my parents really struggle with their weight. Why, I didn't even want to tell my parents when I signed up for a half marathon last year! I've also been talking with my roommates, which is easier since they all have shared their struggles with weight, food, and exercise (although, their struggles are very different from mine). It's hard to take the initiative to start conversations about weight with people in person (I blog about it very easily), but it is so necessary to help me process and accept my own weight loss.
Processing and accepting my own weight loss is an important part of this journey. When I think of my weight loss, I tend to think about how far I have to go, but I need to think more about how far I've come! That's what others see, and it's why they give me so many compliments. I've come far, and I'm still going! I need to stop hiding behind my weight and enjoy who I am at this moment! When people comment on it, I need to stop and smile and say thank you. This journey is a slow and steady process. It's not just about food, weight, and exercise; it's about a mindset change as well.
Current Weight: 181.8
Sounds like a contradicting title, right? Well, it is, but it is also true that there is a lot of progress during plateaus.
I've been on a plateau again recently. I quickly lost my Christmas weight and got stuck right where I was stuck from October - December: 189. Actually, then I was at least able to get it down to 187. Now, I usually don't mind plateaus in my weight. I view them as times where I am able to learn to maintain before switching more things up and working extra hard to break that plateau. Learning to maintain is very important. If I can stay at 189, that's better than letting that number sneak up to 200. But lately, I've been kind of down about it, so when I had a suddenly unexpected long weekend (almost a week off school!), I decided it was the perfect time to refocus, conquer my gluttonous ways, and begin exercising more.
Every day I've been drinking lots of water, eating only if my stomach is growling (I was beginning to forget what it was like to actually be hungry!), working out, and staying active. That usually does the trick within a few day, but this time it didn't. Or so I thought. I've weighed myself faithfully every morning: 189.8, 189.4, 189.2, 189.4. The numbers were hardly changing! Then on the off chance, later one day, I went to take my measurements, and they were great!
This morning I officially logged my measurements (I always make sure to do it first thing in the morning before I eat or drink anything; consistency helps me see results). I may have not lost weight in numbers the past few day, but my body did lose several inches! Just from a little over a week ago (I don't usually measure that often unless I've seen change), my waist lost 0.75 inches, my thigh lost 0.25 inches, and my upper arm lost 0.25 inches! After I logged these, I love looking at the graphs (making sure to change the start date back to my beginning). I often forget how far I've come!
Was my waist really 50 inches? Was my thigh really 30 inches? I couldn't fathom these numbers, so I got out my tape measure again, set it to my starting numbers and watched it as it fell around me. Was I really that big? Did that much empty space between the tape measure and my belly used to be filled? It was unbelievable. Now wonder why some people continue to comment about my weight loss (one thing I'm still learning how to deal with); I truly have lost a lot of inches and probably look different to them!
Some months gets frustrating because I plateau with weight. Often I plateau with measurements (there's been half a year without change). Then, suddenly things will start to change. I just need to remember: my body isn't magic. It takes time and consistency to change. Also, strength training really helps the measurements. Recently I started Tae Bo, which very intentionally uses my muscles and does cardio. I love this combination! Your body won't change without using those muscles.
When was the last time you stopped to see how far you've come from the beginning? Not just with the graphs, but also with life. Remember when I had trouble walking a very small incline to class with my backpack? Now I walk a huge hill to and from school everyday! Remember when I couldn't run without coughing and lung issues? Now my lungs have adjusted, and I even trained for a half marathon! Remember when I ate five desserts in the school cafeteria? Now the thoughts make me sick (although, those were really good cookies). Stop look back, and enjoy the view. Think about progress you have made. Delight when others comment on your progress (this is hard for me). If you are just starting out, track consistently, so that you can go back and enjoy the view.

Even when I think I'm in a plateau, my body is still working. It's changing. I may see it or not see it, but it is still changing. I just need to stick with it. Look how far I've come. I still a ways to go, but seeing the change makes me stick with it. Slow and steady wins the race! Never give up, and always do things intentionally, even if that's gaining weight over Christmas. We can do it, and we will!
Living in Venezuela, I am able to maintain and lose fairly easily. This is due to several things:
-There are food shortages, where it is hard to find staples like flour, sugar, chicken, milk, ground beef, and eggs. Therefore, I treat these items like they are very special and am careful when I use them.
-I have to walk everywhere, including to the grocery store. Do I really want to have to carry that package of oreos home with everything else that I really need?
-Not only to I have to walk, but I live at the top of a hill. Imagine carrying your groceries up a giant hill. Plus, my school is on a different hill, so I walk uphill both ways to and from school.
-My body responds to culture shock by just trying to survive. I'm not sure if it's solely due to the facts above or if it just really fights to survive and loses a lot of weight. I'm pretty sure it's the latter.
Vacations are my downfall, and by vacations, I mean any time I'm not living on my own and buying and cooking my own food. I tend to treat myself too much, especially when I know it's something that I won't have again any time soon. At least, that's my excuse now. However, vacations have always been my downfall. Back in seventh grade, my family went on vacation, where we hiked a lot, but we also went out to eat a lot. In two weeks, I gained twenty pounds. I never lost that weight. Over my Christmas break this year, I went back to the United States. I found some old medical records, and one showed that I weighed over 200 pounds when I was in eighth grade. Eighth Grade! No wonder why I can't remember when I lasted weighed below 200. I wasn't even fully grown yet. It was so sad. Why didn't someone stop me? Anyways, I reached below 200 for the first time this past fall. I was down staying close by 187 for a month leading up to my Christmas break. My one goal for Christmas break was to stay under 200. I failed. I made it up to 203.
Vacation was terrible if I look at my nutrition and exercise. It was great every other way. As far as nutrition went, it was a good day if I waited to eat a Christmas treat until 10 in the morning. When I first came back, I ate a normal meal with my family and felt as stuffed as I normally would after Thanksgiving dinner. My stomach had shrunk so much! I quickly enlarged it, but I also spent too much time feeling overstuffed, when I should have known to stop eating. I need to make sure that when I go back this summer, I don't make the same mistake.
Now I've been back one week, and my body quickly went into culture/lifestyle shock mode. I've already lost 10 of my 16 vacation weight pounds without really trying. Part of this weight was also due to flying and water retention, and I understand that.
Interested in how my weight looks overall since I started on SparkPeople? Well, here's my weight graph from May 2012 - January 2014.
Like I mentioned in my last blog post, my weight definitely reflects where I was at during that time. During the time on this graph, I have lived four different places: Fort Wayne while student teaching, my University, my parents' house, and Venezuela. The hardest of these places is always my parents' house. I don't buy the food; it's just available to me whenever I want. Looking at the graph, I can see times when I have been there I typically go up (late December 2012, end of May - July 2013, end of December 2013). This summer, I will be living at my parents' house for about 5 weeks. Two of those weeks, I will probably be on vacation with them in Canada. I'm already thinking about and planning how I can make those weeks maintain weeks instead of gain. I'm fine with not losing all the time. Learning to maintain is one of the most important steps in this process, in my opinion. That means learning how to maintain in every circumstance. I probably won't always live by myself in Venezuela, so if this is the only place that I can be the weight I'm at, that is no good.
Also, for those of you new to SparkPeople with this new year, please look at my weight record and notice some details. I have gone weeks with staying just about the same weight (each of those little blue lines are one month). This was frustrating at the time, but how is it looking back? Fine. I'm actually very thankfully I had those chances to maintain. There are weeks where I gained, even giant jumps in gaining like over 10 pounds in two weeks. Yes, it could have been better those weeks, but overall, I'm still much lower than where I started. This journey is just that: a journey. It has its ups and downs. The key is to never give up. Never stop caring. Even when I make choices like I did this past Christmas break, I make them intentionally. I chose to eat and gain weight over Christmas. I knew it would happen, and I was okay with it. I knew what I could have done to prevent it but chose not to. Remember that you do have choices. Did I have to eat all of the steak my dad put on my plate? No, and the first night I didn't because I felt so full that I could puke. He respected me not eating more than I needed. Whatever you do, it's a choice. Every good step is one further than you've taken before. Take those steps.
All that to say, the hardest part of my journey is learning to have self-control in all situations. If I can't do that, the effort I'm putting in now won't matter because I will gain it back once I'm in a different situation, and I can't let that happen. Learning to maintain using self-control is the most important thing we can learn.
My current goal is to be at or under 170 by the beginning of May (my birthday). I will have to work to get there, and I'm getting ready to put that hard work in. This week, I started exercising more: playing volleyball, doing sit-ups, and some other easy strength activities. I already have plans for a few weekend hikes (I do live by/on mountains) in the coming weeks. I'm also trying to begin walking more to prepare for these hikes. I hate being the one who can't keep up.
My end goal of 145 is in sight, and I love that! Slow and steady wins the race! I'm excited to get back under 191 later this week, which puts me back into a BMI of overweight instead of obese.
We can do this! Keep making those good choices! It's all about baby steps! Self-control is key! Learn how to maintain!
Current Weight: 193.4

Iraqi Christian Details How Militants Kidnapped Her 3-Year-Old

04 Sep 2014 By Simon Caldwell
MANCHESTER, England (CNS) — An Iraqi Christian woman has described how her 3-year-old daughter was abducted by Islamist terrorists.
Christina Khider Abada was seated beside her mother, Ayda Abada, on a bus when captors from the Islamic State snatched her and took her away.
According to an account by the mother, who followed her daughter off the bus, the crying child was passed from one militant to another while Ayda Abada begged for her to be returned.
Finally, the terrorists pointed guns in the face of the mother and told her to get back on the bus or they would kill her.
Fellow refugee Sahar Mansour interviewed Ayda Abada and her husband, Khider Abada, as they circulated pictures of their daughter in Ankawa refugee camp, near Erbil, Iraq, in the hope of gaining information about the toddler's whereabouts.
In a 1 September email to Catholic News Service, Mansour said the abduction occurred 24 August in the Syriac Christian town of Qaraqosh, Iraq, which had fallen to Islamic State militants the night of 6-7 August.
Khider Abada is blind, so the family did not flee their home. They were among 30 Christian families to remain in the town as the fighters arrived.
The Islamic State fighters began to cleanse the town of Christians after about a week, mainly by putting villagers on buses, which were then driven toward Kurdish-controlled territory — but also, according to Amnesty International — by abducting girls and young women.
Ayda Abada said the family was first ordered by the fighters to go to a health center on the pretext of undergoing simple health checks, but they were later robbed of all their possessions and told to board a bus.
In her email, Mansour reported that the mother said she seated Christina beside her, but recalled, "then one of ISIS men came and had a look over the bus and saw my daughter Christina."
"He took her out of the bus and ISIS man went to the direction of the health center," Ayda Abada told Mansour.
"Then later, another older man from the terrorists came from the health center and was carrying Christina, and came straight to me and asked me: 'Is this your daughter?'" Ayda Abada continued.
"I said yes. Both of us, Christina and myself, were crying. I asked them many times that Christina is a little baby and she is innocent, she is just a little baby girl, and I pleaded [with] them and begged his mercy to allow my child to return to me," she told Mansour.
"I told them that she is very little, [and asked] what kind of crime she had done," she said. "Then the ISIS men told me in aggressive way: 'If you want your daughter, we will kill you. Then these men put the gun to my head and with violent tone forced me to get back in the bus."
She added: "My heart was with my daughter … I do not know how to live without my child Christina, but ISIS men forced me to go back into the bus. All the time my heart and thought were with my daughter, Christina."News Source : Iraqi Christian Details How Militants Kidnapped Her 3-Year-Old

Woman considered ringleader
Published: Tuesday, January 13, 2009 at 1:10 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 13, 2009 at 9:07 a.m.
BRADENTON - Authorities say an 18-year-old woman was the ringleader of a group that robbed two men at knifepoint in a Bradenton home invasion last week.
According to a Manatee sheriff's arrest report, Krystal Hartley, 18, organized the robbery by a trio of suspects that included her 21-year-old brother, Stephen Hartley, and 19-year-old Januel Ruiz. The three Bradenton residents were charged with felony counts of armed robbery and conspiracy Friday.
Krystal Hartley, the report said, planned the 10:20 p.m. Friday robbery and lured the two victims to a home in the 500 block of 37th Avenue Drive East.
Krystal Hartley waited at a getaway car while Stephen Hartley and Ruiz used a knife and fake gun to rob $800 from the two victims, who were beaten during the robbery.
But witnesses saw the three hiding behind the victims' home and called authorities, who then waited at the getaway car and caught the three suspects, the report said.

1 VISUAL SYSTEM FORROTARY-WING AIRCRAFT RELATED APPLICATIONS This specification is a continuation of the copending patent application Ser. No. 885,714, filed on Dec. 17, 1969, in the name of Walter E. Myles for VISUAL SYSTEM FOR ROTARY WING AIRCRAFT, now abandoned.
BACKGROUND OF THE "INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to optical systems and more particularly to visual systems used in simulation equipment.
2. Description of the Prior Art Visual simulation has been the most difficult form of simulation to achieve good and believable results in the past. It is far easier to drive instruments accurately or to move a vehicle cockpit realistically than to provide with accuracy the large number of visual stimuli normally received by a person. One attempt to accomplish this is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 2,046,202, issued on June 30, 1936, to G. H. Miles for OPTICAL PROJECTION APPARATUS. As a result, visual systems for large scale simulators such as those which are used to train aircraft pilots and the like are large, cumbersome and expensive, and they do not really provide the accurate duplication of the environment which is desired. However, many visual simulators have been developed for fixed-wing aircraft. In simulation of fixed-wing aircraft, the takeoff and landing exercises are the ones which require the most training, and most visual systems include means for displaying airport or aircraft carrier runways on approach and takeoff. Since a rotary-wing aircraft takes off and lands vertically, it does not require a runway on either land or a carrier, and the previous aircraft visual systems are not applicable. In fact, the primary takeoff and landing training for rotary-wing aircraft requires a visual system which displays normal terrain features such as trees, rocks, ravines, and the like. This invention provides such a visual system which is also simple, inexpensive, and realistic in perspective. In this respect, the apparatus of this invention is contrasted with that of Pat. No. 2,046,202 which is designed to train persons who do not move vertically. The system of the patent does not include basic requirements for vertical takeoffs and landings such as a reference horizon.
It is an object of this invention to provide a new and improved visual system.
It is another object of this invention to provide a new and improved visual system for simulation equipment.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a new and improved visual system for simulating a portion of the environment encountered by aircraft.
It is still another object of this invention to provide a new and improved visual system for use in equipment which simulates rotary-wing aircraft.
Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent as the following description proceeds, which description should be considered together with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. I is an elevational view of the apparatus according to this invention, and
FIG. 2 is an elevational view of a portion of the apparatus of FIG. 1.
Referring to the drawings in detail, the reference character 11 designates a base which is supported on wheels 12 for movement over a floor or other flat surface 13. The base 11 carries a plurality of lead screws 15, or equivalent devices such as pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders, scissors, etc. A platform 14 is supported upon the lead screws 15 and carries a support 16. The support 16 has mounted on it a plurality of wheels 17 which, in turn, movably support a hemisphere 18. On top of the hemisphere 18 is a cylinder 19 formed of a suitable transparent construction material such as glass or an acrylic resin. A motor 21 carries a bearing plate 22 for supporting a transparent disk 23. Mounted on the top surface of the disk 23 are models of various terrain features such as trees 24, and utility poles 25. Suspended above the center of the disk 23 and on a horizon line 27 formed by the top edge of the cylinder 19 is a point light source 26 carried by any suitable support means. An observer 29 looks along the horizon line 27 at a rear projection screen 28. v
In operation, the base 11 contains drive equipment, not shown, for driving the wheels 12 to move the base over the surface 13 in any desirable manner. Electrically controlled equipment is old, and any equipment suitable for the purpose may be used. In addition, the base 11 contains means for driving the lead screws 15 to raise and lower the platform 14. This means may be, for example, a single motor connected by suitable gearing to cause a plurality of threaded female members to rotate and thus raise or lower the lead screws 15. As
mentioned above, other vertical movement equipment such as hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders, scissors, and similar devices may be substituted for the lead screws 15. In any case, the several devices 15 must be synchronized to raise or lower the platform 14 while maintaining it level. The support 16 is so shaped as to readily carry-the hemisphere 18, and contained in any suitable portionof the support 16 is drive means for driving the wheels 17 in any desired direction. This support may be of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,405,462 to Belva et al., issued on Oct. 15, I968, and entitled Display Device. The hemisphere 18 is then caused to move to any desired position in accordance with the principles set forth in the above mentioned patent. Light from the point light source 26, the details of which are shown in FIG. 2, is directed across the models of the terrain features such as the trees 24 and the utility poles 25, and through the transparent disk 23 and cylinder 19 where necessary, toward the screen 28. The top edge of cylinder 19 represents the horizon, and is adjusted to to simulate altitude. Thus, the images of the terrain features 24 and 25 are projected upon the screen 28 and can be viewed by the observer 29. When the aircraft the observer is supposed to be in simulates a vertical takeoff from its parked position, the lead screws 15 are operated to slowly lower the assembly so that the images of the terrain features 24 and 25 seem to drop. However, the horizon cylinder is maintained at its height for the moment. At the same time, as the attitude of the aircraft changes, the support 16 operates to cause the hemisphere 18 to rotate so that the disk 23 moves in the opposite direction from the simulated pitch. Assuming that the aircraft the observer 29 is in tends to pitch upward as it rises, the disk 23 will lower and the hemisphere 18 will be rotated so that the disk 23 rotates slightly clockwise as shown. The horizon is elevated independently, but is tilted simultaneously.
This creates the impression in the observer that he is rising above the utility poles and the trees 24 and is pitching upward slightly. At the same time, the aircraft may begin to move across the terrain. The disk 23 is then rotated by the motor 21 to create the impression that the aircraft is moving over the ground in the opposite direction, and the base 11 moves across the surface 13 so that the effect on the screen is of the terrain features 24 and 25 passing by a moving aircraft. Once the simulated aircraft rises above a prescribed altitude, the terrain features fade away and disappear from the screen, leaving only the horizon in view and the impression is created that the aircraft is flying too high to see recognizable ground features.
The point light source is shown in greater detail in FIG. 2 wherein the equivalent of the disk 23 is shown at 39 as the top surface of a closed cylinder 38, both of suitable transparent construction material such as glass or an acrylic resin. A model of a single terrain feature is shown as a bare tree 24. The light source comprises a gas tube such as a small mercury arc lamp 31 which is mounted in the focus of a small spherical mirror 32. The second spherical mirror 33 is arranged to reflect the light from the lamp 31 onto one end 37 of a light pipe 34 which has a right angle bend including a reflective 45 surface 36. The light emerges from the light pipe 34 at the other end 36 in a 90 cone. Both ends 36 and 37 of the light pipe 34 are formed as negative lenses.
Light from the lamp 31 is reflected from the mirror 33 onto the negative lens 37. Light emerging from the other side of the lamp 31 is reflected from the mirror 32 onto the mirror 33 and from there to the negative lens 37. The negative lens 37 in the receiving end of the light pipe 34 causes the light entering it to become more parallel to the longitudinal axis of the pipe 34, reducing the number of internal reflections or bounces. This reduces the loss of light and provides more light at the end 36. The end 36 is formed as a negative lens to limit the projection of the light from the end of the pipe 34 to a 90 cone. If desired, this light pipe 34 may be replaced with one of the light pipes shown in US. Pat. No. 3,439,157 to Walter E. Myles, issued on Apr. 15, 1969, and entitled Point Light Source. The light from the source 31 is projected in a well defined pattern to illuminate the terrain features 24. Although no support means have been shown for the light source 36, any suitable means including gimbals may be used. Preferably, the light pipe 34 may be surrounded with a collision switch device to trigger a switch and shut off the power should the platform 39 move to such an extent that a collision with the pipe 34 is imminent. ln such a case, the switch would shut off power to both the lamp and the equipment for moving the platform 39. Such devices are well known and none has been shown to avoid too much clutter on the drawings.
The above specification has illustrated and described a new and improved visual system which has particular utility in simulating the environment surrounding rotary-wing aircraft takeoffs and landings. The apparatus shown and described is effective, simple, rugged, and inexpensive. It is realized that this description may indicate to others additional ways in which the principles of this invention may be used bythose in the art without departing from its spirit. It is, thereform, intended that this invention be limited only by the scope of the appended claims.

When you hear all the lodging industry projections for the months and years to come, much of the robust growth is forecast to be the result of the expected influx of travelers from China. In what could only be seen as good news for the industry, that expectation moved a little closer to reality when President Obama signed a visa waiver extension for Chinese travelers earlier this month.

This has raised some eyebrows among nonprofit organizations. ''While you're free to do anything you want,'' said Andrew Blau, program director at the Markle Foundation in New York, ''it has raised the concern that they make it so easy to do it a particular way.''
Still, Mr. Blau and others credited the foundation with careful planning and implementation of the program. Technical training of librarians is extensive, and the libraries get free technical support for three years after purchasing the computers. To address the problem of obsolescence, the Gates foundation asks grant applicants to outline their plans for upgrading the equipment.
The introduction of the Gates foundation computers into libraries has not always gone smoothly. After receiving their computers, overwhelmed librarians in Troy, Ala., unplugged the machines and put them back in their boxes. The machines were returned to service only after a special visit from foundation staff members.
Libraries in extremely rural parts of Alabama have had a difficult time establishing reliable Internet connections. More than two dozen libraries in remote parts of the state have to make a toll call to reach an Internet service provider.
The grants themselves, based on the size of the population in a library's immediate service area, are not huge. The average check per library is roughly $18,000, which buys five computers, a laser printer and communications equipment. ''In these small communities, a little bit of money is a profound solution,'' Ms. Stonesifer said.
If librarians in the communities with Gates foundation computers have any lingering doubts about making a long-term commitment to Microsoft software and Windows-based computers, they do not betray them. And although the program is still young, few public libraries -- 30 out of 733 eligible ones -- so far have refused a Gates grant, according to the foundation. In some instances, the libraries said they did not have the resources to support the computers.
Librarians are more reflective about how the computers in the library are changing both how they do their jobs and how the community perceives the library.
Rural librarians, whose budgets are often the leanest, have seen the most striking change. Take Bay Minette, Ala., north of Mobile, where 21 percent of the 8,000 residents live below the poverty level, according to the 1990 census, and one in four adults is functionally illiterate.
Charlotte Cabaniss, who runs the Bay Minette Public Library, said that since the Gates computers arrived a year ago, people who otherwise would not have thought to venture into the local library are suddenly showing up. Many of the new patrons are encountering computers and the Internet for the first time. They use the computers to type their resumes, hunt for jobs, do schoolwork, research Beanie Babies, look up medical information, investigate their family roots, send E-mail and visit wrestling sites on the Web.
Usage is heaviest after the schools let out. ''When 3 P.M. comes, they hit the doors and I have to turn them away from the computers,'' Ms. Cabaniss said.
Librarians in Alabama have noticed that traditional information resources like books and reference materials are more often than not a second thought these days. At the public library in Satsuma, Ala., a small town north of Mobile, a globe has been exiled to the top of a shelf, looking more like a decoration than an educational tool.
But several librarians at newly computerized libraries pointed out that circulation had increased, as more people go to the library to use the computers and notice the books. Ms. Kent of the Los Angeles Public Library said that since 1996, when the library began installing public-access computers in its 67 branches -- 2 of the branches were beneficiaries of Microsoft's Libraries Online program -- circulation had steadily risen. ''We see teen-agers in here every day who never ever used to use the public library,'' Ms. Kent said.
A bigger question, well beyond the scope of most public libraries, surrounds the problem of just how technology should be used to help those at an economic disadvantage. Closing a technical gap is one thing. Using technology in a way that, say, helps to improve academic performance or helps someone find a job is another. The learning foundation plans to expand beyond libraries to schools and community centers, and abroad.
What happens next is crucial. Helen Birenbaum, executive director of the City University of New York graduate school's Stanton/Heiskell Center for telecommunications policy, who has conducted a seven-year study on the effects of computers on academic achievement, is wary of programs like the Gates library project. ''This will all fail unless there are thoughtful programs that understand how to support low-income folks,'' Ms. Birenbaum said. ''It won't help them enough just to be able to sit in front of a computer.
''What the Gates people are doing is a first step,'' she said. ''But I think it will fail unless there is the next step.''

I guided a fella on a quail hunt one day who had a matched set of Purdy's. $27,000. Of course he couldn't hit a darn thing with them.

She wants me to get a new shotgun 'cause I used to really like shooting clays, doves, pheasants etc., but have got out of it in recent years. She knows how much I love shotgunning, and wants me to jump start my interest again.

Remington is making the 1100 again.

Yeah, I see that on their site... I kinda like the sporting 20. I'm going to try and find one to handle in the morning.

Franci 720 lightweight, the best autoloading 20 ga I own. perfect for all uses.
The weathercoat stock is a great product, I've used it in dove fields, and hunting for quail in all conditions.

How about a 1100 Tactical? Should make a fine bird gun. Seriously, Bud's Gun Shop shows several models of the 1100 in stock. About 2/3 of the way down the first page. Davidson's also shows several variations in stock, though there total inventory count appears to be 19 at the present time.

Browning Citori superlight or upland special . Both have english stocks differance is in finish and bbl length with the superlight being oil and 28" while the upland is varnish shiny and 24.
Make sure you get full value out of today , Do something worthwhile, because what you do today will cost you one day off the rest of your life .
We only begin to understand folks after we stop and think .

Get that Remington and that JRT dog of yours and take him squirrel hunting.

Like custom guns and stuff? Check this out...
I went and saw the Remingtons today... they that new G3 in stock, as well as a sporting 12. I liked them both, but I think I would buy the G3 except I'm not sure if I like the laminate stock or not. I prefer my shotgun in a more traditional trim.
I think I've narrowed down to a 1100 in 20ga or a montefeltro in 20 or 12.
"Just blame Sixto"
Remington 870 wingmaster in walnut and make it a 20 guage. Its what I have used for pheasant, quail and duck. Its affordable, its reliable and shoulders nicely. 20 gauge doesnt beat a bird up as bad as a 12. And you can shoot all day without thinking how that shoulder is gona feel tomorrow.
The 870 Wingmaster is a fine gun indeed... but I already have one.
"Just blame Sixto"
The love of my life is skeet. I shoot a browning Citori grade one and compete in trap and skeet leagues at work. I got my gun from http://www.yankeeartifacts.com/ and have known a few people to get guns from them for really good deals.
Check em out and c if they got what you want.

Merkel's Election Schedule Weighs On Greek Bailout
By JUERGEN BAETZ
BERLIN (AP) â¿¿ German Chancellor Angela Merkel's upcoming re-election battle is shaping Europe's response to bailing out debt-ridden Greece.
Her strategy: Do just enough to keep Greece afloat but spare German voters â¿¿ for now â¿¿ the news that even more of their money will be required to get the Greeks back on their feet.
Merkel has led Europe's biggest economy since 2005. The greatest risk to her re-election bid, pollsters and analysts say, is a dramatic worsening of Europe's debt crisis â¿¿ such as Greece exiting the eurozone, or a Greek debt write-off costing billions in German taxpayer money.A deal reached Tuesday by the 17 nations that use the euro is a patchwork of measures to plug new shortfalls in Greece's budget and trim its debt load over the coming years. But it stopped short of forgiving some of the country's debt â¿¿ having eurozone creditors like Germany take a so-called "haircut." "Greece's debt is not sustainable, even with the new measures, so the problem will be back in 2014 at the latest," said Christoph Weil, an economist with Commerzbank. But losing more money on rescuing the Greeks and other economically weak European Union nations could be politically toxic in Germany, where Merkel faces a national election in September. So far, Merkel's hard-nosed approach to Europe's debt crisis has bolstered her popularity at home. "Ms. Merkel doesn't want to stand in front of her voters and tell them that the Greek rescue will cost taxpayers a couple of billions," Weil added. Many economists say that Greece's debt burden â¿¿ forecast to reach some 190 percent of gross domestic product next year â¿¿ can only be managed by writing off more government loans. But Merkel and German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble were the most outspoken opponents of such a step, instead insisting on austerity measures and structural reforms.

text: Test Generator RTF Editor & Print Template RTF Editor & Print Template [about this tutorial] This tutorial is intended for TG customers who: • Want to use some/all of TG's rtf-enabled test properties • Want to modify/customize the default print template • Want to modify/customize the Study Guide and Test Key report output [options] Customers can schedule an RTF-specific online training session Note: an active maintenance subscription is required. Training credits are also available for purchase. [questions?] Please contact us: firstname.lastname@example.com, 480.704.4804. Thank You. RTF Editor & Print Template [background] In 2007 we introduced the concept of the "rtf editor", a feature that was applied to print templates and various rtf-enabled test properties. This feature also influenced the display and print output of the Study Guide and Test Key reports. [what is RTF?] As defined in Wikipedia, 'The Rich Text Format (often abbreviated RTF) is a free document file format developed by Microsoft in 1987 for cross-platform document interchange. Most word processors are able to read and write RTF documents.' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Text_Format RTF Editor & Print Template [how is RTF used in TG?] The RTF format in TG provides test authors with an unparalleled range of customization options which control, or influence, the display of information before, during and after testing. Right, an RTF "stage" from TG's System > Settings > Print Template. The rtf template is highlighted in yellow. RTF Editor & Print Template [how is RTF used in TG?] If you were to open the sample CPR test under the Sample Class, and select Print Preview > Test, you would see a preview screen and content similar to the example below: The bracketed items in the template are replaced by test data: [CLASSNAME] is replaced by Sample Class and [TESTNAME] is replaced by CPR. Please contact us for a list of predefined placeholders. RTF Editor & Print Template [how is RTF used in TG?] If you are printing tests and test keys, you may find the level of detail in the default print template more than you need. TG gives you the option of editing the template --- adding or removing text and placeholders. Before you begin, we suggest that you save a copy (Save To File) of the template in a location that is easily accessible by you. That way, if you corrupt the copy you are editing, you can always import the copy you saved, or contact us and we'll email you a copy. RTF Editor & Print Template [default or custom print template] TG's out-of-the-box print template is located under System > Settings > Print Template and is stored in TG's database. This template is also the default print template and is associated with each new test that you create. If you select the Print Preview or Print commands, the information displayed is based on this default template. If you don't need to print tests or modify the Study Guide or Test Key reports, then you can ignore the print template. RTF Editor & Print Template [default or custom print template] If you do want to modify the display and print output of these two reports, then you need to modify either the default (system) print template, or: 1- create a custom print template directly in the rtf stage, or 2- import a pre-defined template: RTF Editor & Print Template [other uses] In addition to its influence on the look of a printed test, Study Guide and Test Key reports, TG has "rtf-enabled" the following features: • TG's home page > After the Test . Course > Notes > Messages > Email • Test Properties > Certificate > General tab > Print Template > Schedule tab > Eligibility > • Section Properties Add > Send Email > Messages: Introductory Message > Post-section performance message > Options tab . Before the Test > Message > Email RTF Editor & Print Template [Study Guide and Test Key reports] The Study Guide and Test Key report displays are influenced by the Print Template. The out-of-the-box report display uses the print template found under System > Settings > Print Template. The display and output of these reports can vary based on whether or not you chose the default print template or a test-specific (custom) print template as described in these two scenarios: Scenario 1: You select, or don't bother to change, the default, out-of-the-box, print template for Test-A. You open TG Reports, select Study Guide and view the Study Guide report for Test-A, your display will reflect the layout of TG's default print template. RTF Editor & Print Template [Study Guide and Test Key reports] Scenario 2: You open Test-B, go to Test Properties > Print Template and click the Edit button: ... then select the Use this custom print template option: RTF Editor & Print Template [print template display] The template that appears in the rtf stage is the default print template -- the one found under System > Settings > Print Template. This template can be edited/modified without affecting the global template... … or you can import a custom print template. RTF Editor & Print Template [other rtf-enabled features] In this tutorial we've focused on the rtf editor and the print template. However, as mentioned earlier, there are other "rtf-enabled" test properties that operate under the same framework: same placeholders, icon toolbar and rtf "stage." These features, and their accompanying properties, will be addressed in an expanded version of this tutorial. If you have questions regarding this topic, or would like to schedule an online training session, please contact us: email@example.com Review Review [TG and RTF] TG uses Rich Text File (RTF) formatting for everything from print templates to rtf-enabled test properties. Why RTF This format TG provides test authors with a broad range of customization options which control, or influence, the display of information before, during and after a test-taking session. Review [RTF stage] The row above the stage includes: 1- A placeholder pull-down menu and 2- An icon toolbar 3- An rtf-enabled editing "stage" (dashed arrows) to view, edit or compose print templates and rtf-enabled test properties. Review [print templates] When the Print Preview or Print commands are selected, the resulting output is based on a print template. These templates can be used "as is" or they can be customized by any test author/administrator. A global print template can be applied to all tests, or test authors can customize print templates per test. This means that you can have some tests that use the global print template and others that use a test-specific, customized template. Review [print templates] TG includes a pre-defined, global, print template which is stored in TG's database. It can be accessed through TG's home page under System > Settings > Print Template. By default, this template controls a test's display/print output as well as test-specific Study Guide and Test Key reports. Review [assumptions] If you already rely on this template, any (incorrect) formatting changes you make may result in output errors. However, these errors will not change, the test data stored in TG's database. You can always "roll back" by importing the previous (known, good) print template, or email us a copy of your template for evaluation: firstname.lastname@example.com. Before attempting to customize the global print template, we recommend: * Contacting us with any questions you may have and/or * Save a copy of the original, default print template: Save To File. Review [print template options] Note: You can edit the saved copy, or make a second copy, create a course and test within which to experiment. You can also edit the default template in its rtf-enabled stage; however, you may find it easier to edit the template using Microsoft's WordPad, which natively supports RTF, re-importing the file into TG when done. We'd be happy to send you some sample templates to experiment with. Email firstname.lastname@example.com. Review [print template text and placeholders] Print templates can include both text and placeholders. Text can be typed in by the test author, but placeholders are TG-reserved names that appear in brackets [ ]. For example, the placeholder, [CLASSNAME] represents the name of a class (or course) in TG. If you don't want to display a particular place holder, you can delete it. In this example, we've highlighted the text and placeholders… Review [print template features] ... and deleted that information from the template. Notice that the resulting print preview includes a blank space (yellow) from which we removed: Class: [CLASSNAME] Description: [CLASSDESC] Review [study guide and test key reports] When displaying / printing Study Guide and Test Key reports you can: • Use the default print template, or • Modify the default print template, or • Import and use a customized print template, or • Apply a customized print template at a test level [rtf-based properties] RTF-based test properties, also influence the display/output of: • Test and post-test (text) feedback • Pre- and post-test messages • Email messages generated from TG • Study Guide and Test Key reports Review [sample templates] In order to save you some time, we've produced a few sample templates, that we would be happy to send you. Please email email@example.com and request the "print template email." Note: this topic is not currently (6/08) included in TG Help. TG Help does include the topic, Using Print Templates which is accessible under TG Help > Printing Reports and Tests. At present this tutorial can be found here: http://www.testshop.com/tutorials/tg-rtf_editor.pps or ftp://www.testshop.com/outgoing/tutorials/tg-rtf_editor.pps This concludes our tutorial.
