[quote:Obvious 16172614:MV8yMDQ4NjgyXzM0NDI5NDY2XzcxRjUwNjcy] Listen, This was NOT a gas explosion. The news even said that GAS EXPLOSION has been ruled out! Common sense will tell you that much. Look at all the videos of REAL gas explosions. They all show the gas line blown after the explosion with burning gas spewing into the air. The "gas" shills seem to think people are this stupid? The fire dept has experts that can tell immediately if gas was involved. Its a simple chemical test. So - IT WAS NOT GAS. Meth lab - Hell no There is NO WAY a meth lab would cause an explosion felt 67 miles away. Even in central America. Had there been a meth lab that big the DEA and local authorities would have already announced that, just to keep the conspiracy idiots (me, you and us) quiet. Drone strike - Possible. I am retired military and i have seen MANY drone strikes. I have seen them take place and i have been deployed to secure areas that drones have struck. None of those are remotely close to this debris. That being said, i am not an expert so different debris fields i would assume are natural. There are reports of people hearing "booms" before the big boom and reports of people seeing the emergency message via sheeple tube prior to this event. Now, you have to ask ... if it was a drone, then WHY? I mean... if it was a hit on the people who died common sense would have been to do as the CIA always does. Murder/suicide ... its quiet, its efficient and it keeps the mass media away. People never question it and its simple to pull off. It is obvious this is something being covered up. Other wise we would be told what to believe by now. TPTB are monitoring sites and collecting what WE are saying.. then later they will cook up an excuse that is directly the opposite of what the masses are conspiring. This is all simple to see using logic and common sense. What is the truth in my opinion? Either meteor (although it not leaving a big hole in the ground kinda puts a halt to this theory) Something this dude was fucking with blew up. I find this one hard to believe also. A shot down UFO - Well, thats a stretch but how would we know if it was? They evacuated the entire area and wont let anyone back in. Hence.. plenty of time to destroy or hide the evidence. What i DO know is... this was NOT planned. Had it been planned by our professional nazi government, they would have had the "answer" as to what caused it BEFORE they executed it. The fact they do not already have a pre-organized cause shows they are monitoring opinions so they can counter the most obvious. As most of you know, we will probably never know the TRUTH either way.

credit for this goes to the Nika team.
WOW what an interesting thread I have found!! this was like reading a book. Very entertaining. Here's my 2 cents. THERE IS NO WAY THAT WAS A GAS EXPLOSION. I am 1/2 mile directly east. In the neighborhood just south of hospital. There is one tidbit of info that may be important. I know of people in the immediate area that
saw multiple emergency response vehicles at the Mary Bryant Elem School literally 2 minutes after explosion.
So many that there had to be foreknowledge of something. This comes from someone who was just casually repeating his story of the events. When that was mentioned I pointed out the possible flaw and then they realized what they had really seen. Maybe that's why there was such a quick response that they kept pointing out that night in interviews. People in this area WILL NOT LET THIS GO!!! THERE WILL BE QUESTIONS ANSWERED!! MY GOD THE INTENSITY AND CRISPNESS OF THE BOOM. I swore lightning had struck next door and blew the house up. That's how intense it was here a 1/2 mile away. I find it interesting that most of the other people who experienced it were East of the explosion. And WAY East. Just about everyone knows the "official not really a story" is BS. I'd imagine if the final outcome isn't acceptable there are going to be a lot of pissed off people around here. It's ALL just TOO FISHY!!!!

Thread: Sinkhole and Gulf Oil Disaster Connection...Also tied to New Madrid fault! Must see video!! (Page 29)
Anonymous Coward 27588216
ok, are they computer tracking methane releases since synthia and other things are melting giant methane slabs? and strange foam rupturing from sinkholes and unknown fluid is coming off of the coast. the drone thing could really be an intentional blow of a methane bubble, and they didn't want it released because it would cause mass illness (rob the population of air instantly), so they blew it as it emerged from the ground and blamed it on a natural gas explosion. But as you can read, many people are still falling ill.

Gamecocks Rise in Polls
Nov. 25, 2012 The University of South Carolina football team, fresh off a 27-17 win over in-state rival Clemson, moved up two notches in both national polls released Sunday afternoon. The Gamecocks (10-2, 6-2 SEC) are ranked 11th in this week's Associated Press poll, and 10th in this week's USA Today/ESPN Coaches' poll. The Gamecocks were 13th and 12th in the two polls, respectively, last week. The Gamecocks also climbed two spots in the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) Standings released Sunday night. The Gamecocks are 10th in that ranking, one of six SEC teams in the top 10. Carolina has posted double-digits in wins for the second-straight season and for just the third time in school history. They will have an opportunity to match the school record for wins in a season at 11 when they play in a bowl game, against an opponent and at a site to be determined. The Gamecocks only two losses this season came on the road at LSU and at Florida. The Tigers are currently 10-2 and ranked ninth in the AP poll, while the Gators are 11-1 and ranked fifth by the AP. Notre Dame (12-0) holds the top spot in both polls, followed by Alabama (11-1) and Georgia (11-1). The Bulldogs only loss this season was a 35-7 rout at the hands of the Gamecocks.

Christianity / Hymns / Jesus Loves Even Me
Jesus Loves Even Me
I am so glad that our Father in heaven tells of His love in the Book He has given.
Wonderful things in the Bible I see. This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.
I am so glad that Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me!
I am so glad that Jesus loves me, Jesus loves even me!
Though I forget Him and wander away, still He doth love me wherever I stray.
Back to His dear, loving arms would I flee when I remember that Jesus loves me.
Oh, if there's only one song I can sing when in His beauty I see the great King,
This shall my song in eternity be: "Oh, what a wonder that Jesus loves me!"

"Got me from the first minute"
It was really interesting to get to hear the story, it was immediately interesting, and it didn't disappoint.
About half way through I already started to looking at a sequel, but that doesn't appear to be there as of now.
"Bad ending"
The story is well told, if a bit long, but the main problem that I had with this book is that the ending (without disclosing details) is abrupt and unsatisfactory.
I came away very displeased with it.

Talk:Operations security
WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors | |||||||||||
Why is this a disambiguation? Is someone planning to create the Operations security (CISSP) article? --Liface 18:13, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
The article text seems only to refer to the US - Admiral Sharp's nationality is simply assumed, for example. Unless OPSEC is a US-specific concept, this article badly needs globalising, so I've tagged it. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 17:24, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
- I agree, and in case it is a US specific concept, this should be mentioned! 220.127.116.11 (talk) 22:15, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
Nope, and here's why[edit]
I am so tired of folks on Wikipedia claiming something is "too US Specific, etc". First of all...I'm pretty sure OPSEC evolved in the US military and unfortunately this article reads like a piece of US military jargon. Second of all, I'm sorry you didn't grow up here in the US, but that's just the way it is. We like you're places a lot too--I know I certainly do and would like to move to a few of them! I can't think of a reason I'd ever need to say something is "too <insert foreign-country> specific". Always try to turn the situation around and think of it from the other side's point of view--that's actually part of OPSEC right? I am a a technical writer with a security background...so I will definitely get around to fully re-editing this article for your review because it's almost impossible to read as-is! I have removed the US-specific banner... --MikeW
- Well, then you should at least mention that it is a US specific thing and doesn't apply to other countries. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 22:03, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
This article is extremely hard to read because it's so jarring. MikeW is dead-on saying it reads like a U.S. military document. I was going to copy edit it, but I don't even know where to begin. I'm going to skip it for now until somebody with more knowledge on the matter sees it. Hopefully that will happen within the year. Fdssdf (talk) 23:49, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
A decent enough article[edit]
It's not such a bad article. I think it reads clearly and succintly. It's more of a stub anyway. I think the article has a good start with it's presentation and organization of concepts.

22 January 2014
an untitled expression
Almost three years of constant ache; I so badly wish to overcome this great abyss; don't let it swallow me again. I want to exist in this moment, to no longer live by memory, to love everything, especially him. Especially myself. The darkness dwells within myself, it pulls me closer with each movement of my body. I wait and I crumble. I let it sink.
How I long to float above myself, above this world, this dark and wretched world. Look at my soul, black and dripping. Let me go, let me surrender to myself, to this happiness which waits for me on the other side of the sunrise. The world shines in and I melt away, I disappear into the shadows of my misery to awake on the other side, the bliss, the beauty and the perfect vision I had all these years. I wait and I dream.

Hi K , happy valentine days from a distant 'un-met' admirer, I know it is corny, but i love being
given flowers, they touch me like your words that i read every day, their beauty, their softness
and the strength that comes from both them both. I love silence and the day dreams that rush across my eyes when i let my mind go free. I worry about you K and i often put good thoughts in a bubble and send it off in the wind for its journey towards you. Have you seen the video clip of Talking Heads performing ' take me to the rver '. have good days K. t xxand then there was silence and all the noise that goes with it, like swimming underwater, t x

Title: | Dynamic monitoring of forearm muscles using one-dimensional sonomyography system |
Authors: | Guo, Jing-Yi Zheng, Yong-Ping Huang, Qing-Hua Chen, Xin |
Subjects: | Electromyography EMG Forearm muscles Mechanomyography MMG Rehabilitation Skeletal muscles SMG Sonomyography Ultrasound Wrist extension |
Issue Date: | 2008 |
Publisher: | Rehabilitation Research and Development Service, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs |
Source: | Journal of rehabilitation research and development, 2008, v. 45, no. 1, p. 187-196. |
Abstract: | We introduce a method, known as one-dimensional sonomyography (1-D SMG), that uses A-mode ultrasound signals to detect dynamic thickness changes in skeletal muscle during contraction. We custom-designed a 1-D SMG system to collect synchronized A-mode ultrasound, joint angle, and surface electromyography (EMG) signals of forearm muscles during wrist extension. We extracted the 1-D SMG signal from the ultrasound signal by automatically tracking the corresponding echoes, which we then used to calculate muscle thickness changes. We tested the right forearm muscles of nine nondisabled young subjects while they performed wrist extensions at 15.0, 22.5, and 30.0 cycles/min and their largest wrist extension angle ranged from 80° to 90°. We found that the muscle deformation and EMG root mean square signals correlated linearly with wrist extension angle. The ratio of deformation to wrist angle was significantly different among the subjects (p <0.001) but not among the trials of different extension rates for each subject (p = 0.9). The results demonstrate that 1-D SMG can be reliably performed and that it has the potential for skeletal muscle assessment and prosthesis control. |

February 2, 2013 8:49:43 PM
Children of all ages will have an opportunity to hone their creative talents Saturday, Feb. 9, when the Friends of the Oktibbeha County Heritage Museum stage a Valentine Adventure from 10 a.m. to noon. The museum is located at 206 Fellowship St. in Starkville, across the street from Odd Fellows Cemetery.
"This event is part of our outreach program to attract a wide variety of age groups to the museum," said Betsy Longest, president of the Heritage Museum. "Our mission is to foster pride in our diverse culture and to ensure that the history is preserved for future generations," she added.
The museum also features rotating exhibits, such as the recent Mardi Gras memorabilia. An exhibit of vintage Valentine cards and decorations will be featured during the month of February.
During Saturday's Valentine Adventure, the museum will provide art supplies and children 12 and under will be encouraged to construct homemade valentines for their friends and family members. Members of the Friends of the Museum will be on hand to assist youngsters in making Valentine's cards.
The Oktibbeha County Heritage museum is open to the public each Tuesday through Thursday from 1 to 4 p.m., and by appointment for groups. For more information, call 662-323-0211.

Wed August 24, 2011
How do you like them apple brandies?
I sure did. The ciders, too. And the gin. And I'm not much of a drinker. I am getting better at it, though.
While spending time with our friends Lewis and Nancy Spaulding at Friday Harbor last weekend we all paid a visit to the San Juan Island Distillery. What fun. Retired academics Hawkins and Suzy Pingree have a swell little operation there making some really fine ciders, gins and brandies – all from local apples. Good stuff.
In case you're wondering what they use to keep that still so shiny, Hawk tells me they polish it every month with Zephyr.
Nancy Leson, my Food for Thought pard, headed south to Portland, there to eat onion rings, a pizza they cut with scissors, a smoky rotisserie chicken and plenty more. Listen to this week's thrilling episode and hear all about it!
"Claret is the liquor for boys, port for men; but he who aspires to be a hero must drink brandy."
--Samuel Johnson

what to expect from your new glasses If you experience any problems with your new frames, including discomfort on the nose or ears, return to your optician office for an adjustment. Also, your glasses should remain stationary on your face when you nod or turn your head. If your glasses slide down your nose or tilt to one side, they will be happy to adjust them for you. Please do not try to adjust them yourself. caring for your new glasses
Glasses are easy to break, scratch or damage so be careful! cleaning your new glasses How To Prevent Scratching Your New Glasses There is nothing worse than spending $500 on a beautiful pair of glasses with high quality lenses and scratching them shortly after your purchase. Scratching your lenses is usually never covered under your warranty. That is because it is 100% preventable. So you may ask, what can I do to prevent scratching my glasses? Here are some steps to help keep your glasses looking new.
An anti-scratch or scratch-resistant coating is a film or coating that can be applied to optical surfaces, such as the faces of a lens or photographic film. The coating does not interfere with how the lenses function and does not affect vision, but creates a permanent bond with the lens that reduces the appearance of hairline scratches which is common to eyeglass lenses. Though an anti-scratch coating is not 100% scratch-proof, it helps to prevent minor scratches that can easily happen to a regular lens. These minor scratches can damage the surface of the lens and impair vision. An anti-scratch coating acts as a protective layer thus making the lenses more durable.[3] Reference: eResearch by Navid Ajamin -- summer 2012

In chemistry, hydrophobicity (from the Attic Greek hydro, meaning water, and phobos, meaning fear) is the physical property of a molecule (known as a hydrophobe) that is repelled from a mass of water. Hydrophobic molecules tend to be non-polar and, thus, prefer other neutral molecules and non-polar solvents. Hydrophobic molecules in water often cluster together, forming micelles. Water on hydrophobic surfaces will exhibit a high contact angle. Examples of hydrophobic molecules include the alkanes, oils, fats, and greasy substances in general. Hydrophobic materials are used for oil removal from water, the management of oil spills, and chemical separation processes to remove non-polar from polar compounds. Hydrophobic is often used interchangeably with lipophilic, "fat-loving." However, the two terms are not synonymous. While hydrophobic substances are usually lipophilic, there are exceptions—such as the silicones and fluorocarbons.[1] thin layers of a waterproof substance on the surface of hydrophilic materials. Hydrophobic coatings are often called water-repellent, which is incorrect, since the water molecules are attracted to the coatings, although extremely weakly, rather than repelled by them. Hydrophobic coatings are produced in the form of monomolecular layers (adsorbed orientated layers one molecule thick) or lacquer films by treating a material with solutions, emulsions, or less frequently, vapors of hydrophobic agents, which are substances that interact weakly with water but attach themselves firmly to a surface. Substances used as hydrophobic agents include salts of fatty acids and such metals as copper, aluminum, and zirconium; cation-active surface-active agents; and low-and high-molecular-weight organosilicon and organic fluorine compounds. Hydrophobic coatings protect various materials (metal, wood, plastics, leather, and fabric and nonfabric fibrous ma-terials) from the destructive action of water or wetting. They are used particularly extensively in machine building,construction, and textile production.[2] If you live in a cold climate, nothing is more frustrating than having your eyeglasses fog up when you come in from the cold. This also can be a safety issue, since it limits your ability to see until the fog clears. Lens fogging can be especially dangerous for police officers and other first responders to emergency situations. At least one eyeglass lens coating company (Opticote) has created a permanent coating designed to eliminate this problem. The factory-applied coating — called Fog Free — eliminates the condensation of moisture on lenses that causes fogging. So your lenses and vision stay clear when you make the transition from a cold environment to a warm one. It may also keep your lenses from fogging up during sports and other times you are hot and perspiring. Fog Free can be applied to plastic, polycarbonate and other eyeglass lenses, including high-index lenses and Transitions photochromic lenses. The anti-fog coating is applied to the lenses before they are cut to fit into your frame at the optical lab. Ask your optical retailer about pricing and availability. In October 2011, Essilor introduced a line of eyeglass lenses called Optifog, which the company describes as "a breakthrough lens with an exclusive anti-fog property." The anti-fogging property of Optifog lenses is activated by applying a drop of Optifog Activator to each side of the lens, then wiping the lens with a microfiber cloth to thoroughly spread the liquid across the entire lens surface. This treatment keeps the lenses fog-free for up to one week, according to Essilor. Lens fogging is caused by tiny water droplets that form by condensation on the surface of eyeglass lenses when the lenses are significantly cooler than the surrounding air temperature. Optifog works by uniformly spreading these water droplets across the lens surface so they become invisible, Essilor says. Optifog lenses are available in plastic, polycarbonate and high-index plastic lens materials, with or without Essilor's proprietary Crizal anti-reflective coating.[3] Image: www.oakley.com www.optifog.com Reference: eResearch by Navid Ajamin -- spring 2012 Related To: Hydrophobic and Super Hydrophobic ;Anti-Reflective Coating for Eyeglass Lenses |
Many people spend a large amount of time in the office just dealing with computers. It is not few to see white-collar workers to have all kinds of problems relating to eyes. Maybe they just use their eyes too often. But that is really unjustified. Everybody uses their eyes everyday and no less often than the white-collar workers. The problem lies in the computer screen. Many people say the LCD has less radiation, but the problem is the radiation is always there. In order to solve the problem, a lot of methods have been tried, such as place a plant near our computer, but the result is not satisfactory. Actually, wearing computer glasses is the best and easiest way to fight against computer radiation. There might still be some left, but very little. Many people are against the idea that computer glasses can absorb computer radiation. Many of their ideas are unfounded. Here let's review something that is of vital importance relating to computer glasses. Why Are Computer Glasses Lenses Anti-radioactive? Essentially, computer glasses lenses are totally different from general prescription glasses in the way that the lenses are designed. The lenses have been coated with anti-radioactive coatings that have been added with some compound medium. Computer radiation comes from electromagnetic wave that has certain wavelength and amplitude. The working of anti-radioactive coatings has been based on the working theory of the electromagnetic wave, which the amplitude (if two amplitudes are the same) will be strengthened when the wavelength is the same and offset when the wavelength is opposite. Based on this theory, the computer glasses lenses have been coated with many anti-radioactive coatings to generate electromagnetic waves that are of different wavelength to intervene one and another and thus reduce computer radiation.[1] If you work at a computer for a significant amount of time each day, you may benefit from a pair of special reading glasses known as computer glasses. Even though you wear glasses or contacts on a daily basis, they are probably not quite right for your work at the computer. Computer glasses are special glasses prescribed to lessen the symptoms associated with computer vision syndrome (CVS). CVS describes a group of symptoms caused by prolonged computer use. Symptoms appear because the eyes and brain react differently to words on a computer screen than they do to printed text. Symptoms often include eyestrain, dry eyes, headaches and blurred vision. Many people try to compensate for these vision problems by leaning forward or by looking down to see through the bottom portion of their glasses, often resulting in back and shoulder pain. Symptoms of CVS can also be caused by presbyopia, a vision disorder that develops as we age. Presbyopia is the loss of the eye's ability to change focus to see near objects, and usually becomes noticeable around the age of 40. If you think you might be feeling some of the symptoms of CVS, you may need to purchase a pair of computer glasses. Computer glasses are prescription glasses specially designed to allow patients to work comfortably at a computer. Computer work involves focusing the eyes at a close distance. Because computer monitors are usually placed a little further away than a comfortable reading distance, standard reading glasses are usually not enough to alleviate symptoms of CVS. With computer glasses, the whole lens focuses at the same distance and does not require you to tilt your head back to see the computer screen.[2] Image: revisionworld.co.uk chinaeye.com Reference: eResearch by Navid Ajamin -- winter 2012 |
There are over 143 million adults in America who wear glasses. Many of these adults opt to have an anti-reflective coating applied to their lenses for a variety reasons. Anti-reflective coating not only improves the appearance of the glasses but also the vision seen through the lenses. Additional benefits of anti-reflective lenses include durability, heat resistance, aid in night driving, easy cleaning, and resistance to scratches. The highest quality anti-reflective coating has a hydrophobic, or water-resistant, layer that is made to prevent water spots from developing on the lens and also makes them much easier to clean. Some anti-reflective coatings also have an oleophobic, or oil-resistant, layer that resists oil from the skin and once again makes it easier to clean smudges off of the lenses. Today, anti-reflective coatings have even become very popular with sunglasses. When applied to the backside of the sunglass lenses, anti-reflective coating reduces the reflections of the sunlight into the eyes when the sun is coming in from behind. There are many reasons why an anti-reflective coating is added to the lenses of a pair of glasses or sunglasses. This coating is often chosen for appearance, as it improves transparency and reduces the reflections in the glasses. The anti-reflective coating on lenses makes it easier for a glasses wearer to have direct eye contact with someone else without all of the distractions of reflections. The anti-reflective coating helps improve driving safety, especially at night, by eliminating distracting headlights and streetlights. This allows drivers to focus more on the road. eResearch by Navid Ajamin Also, while working, the unnatural and artificial lights found in many offices can quickly cause eye fatigue. Using a computer likewise puts great strain on the eyes. Having an anti-reflective coating applied to lenses will help to protect the eyes while working. Last but not least, an anti-reflective coating on a lens enhances the quality of a lens and also lengthens its lifetime by providing durability and resistance to water, dirt, and scratches.

Eyeglasses in various types have different benefits. Prescription eyeglasses are mainly for vision correction and sunglasses are particularly designed to offer protection from UV light. Some people simply wear eyeglasses for a stylish look. Currently eyeglasses are available in a variety of lens materials and frame materials. There are also some lens coatings such as anti-reflective coating and scratch-resistant coating and so on. One of the common concerns from eyeglass wearers is that whether anti reflective coating is necessary. In general, the answer is yes. This coating applied on lenses can prevent excessive light from entering the eye. Without proper control of the intense light, the pupil will experience unnecessary strain. Another advantage of anti-reflective coating is that it can address the problem of halo effect around the headlights of the opposite vehicles during night driving. This effect is quite dangerous because the vision can be distracted. Anti-reflective coating on a lens can effectively deal with this problem. Computer users can also greatly benefit from lenses with anti-reflective coating. Regular computer users have probably experienced the bothersome glare from special parts of the PC monitor. They are forced to strain the eyes in order to get clear vision, which may lead to irritation or dry eyes. Anti-reflective coating performs well in eliminating glare. Anti-reflective coating is also believed to reduce eye pressure in dim light conditions. In addition, eyeglasses with anti-reflective coating are particularly favored by individuals who like taking photographs. A disappointing defect of ordinary eyeglasses is that the outside images will hide the eyes while taking a photo. Anti-reflective coating can effectively block out the reflected images. This feature is very exciting and handy for photographers. On the other hand, glasses with anti-reflective coating also need special care. While offering those benefits described above, anti-reflective lenses are easy to scratch, pick out fingerprints and become dirty. Wearers should use special cleaning tools, rather than ordinary cloth that may cause scratches. Reference: www.articlesbase.com Image:www.prescriptionglassesonline.net www.conlons.co.uk |
Anti-Reflection Coatings
These are some of the questions that we will answer.
Beyond these benefits and features, other ideal candidates are:
You get more out of life when you can enjoy it longer. Vision problems such as glare, reflections, ghost images and the fatigue they create reduces your enjoyment. AR coatings improve vision, reduce fatigue, and help you to enjoy every minute of life at work or at play. AR coatings enhance appearance. It makes lenses look thinner by reducing distracting reflections. Also the wearers eyes are more visible and this improves eye contact for better communication. Now, we have mention the cosmetic and comfort features but there are more than that. AR lenses when worn in daylight and indoors, most people find it provides noticeable better visual performance, making objects appear crisper and brighter. When reading a newspaper, magazine, or even a computer screen with AR coated lenses images and letters will appear sharper and crisper. [1] Anti-reflective eye glasses are designed to reduce glare on the lenses. This serves the dual purpose of improving the wearer's vision and enhancing the appearance of the glasses themselves, particularly in photographs taken with a flash. Composition 1. Anti-reflective coating consists of a series of layers of metal oxides. In the 1980s and 1990s, when anti-reflective lenses were relatively new, the coating was only a single layer that could easily become scratched or smudged. Today, multiple layers enhance the properties of the anti-reflective coating, including oil-resistant, water-resistant, static-resistant and protective scratch-resistant layers. Process 2. The process used to apply anti-reflective coating varies depending on the manufacturer. In some cases the coating is sprayed on in liquid form, then exposed to high heat so that the liquid solution hardens and adheres to the lens. Another process coats each lens with a liquid and places it inside a vacuum chamber, where the vacuum process hardens the coating. In yet another process the anti-reflective coating is built into the material and distributed throughout.Care 3. Anti-reflective lenses require a little more care than regular lenses. They should not be cleaned with harsh chemicals, which can damage the anti-reflective coating. Additionally, they should be cleaned or rubbed only with a wet cloth, as a dry cloth can scratch the lens.[2] eResearch by Navid Ajamin -- spring 2008 Image: powervisionoptical.com familyeyecarecenternc.com calgaryoptometry.com triangleeyecare.com Reference: 1.robertsonoptical.com 2.milenyumtasarim.com See also: |

Persuader is the seventh book in the Jack Reacher series written by Lee Child.[1] After a chance encounter with an old adversary, Reacher finds himself once again obsessed with revenge and in increasingly dire straits in an attempt to settle a decade-long score. Reacher infiltrates a criminal organisation, quickly rising in the ranks to get revenge on his old enemy.
Plot introduction[edit]
The book is written as a first person narrative, only the second Jack Reacher novel to be treated in this fashion.
Jack Reacher is actually working unofficially with the DEA to bring down the boy's father Zachary Beck. By pretending to save the boy from his supposed kidnappers, Reacher gains access to Beck and gradually gains his confidence by working as a hired gun/bodyguard. While working undercover he regrettably has to eliminate a few of Beck's minions to prevent them from exposing him. Reacher's primary motivation in getting involved at all in this off-the-books operation is to have another go at Francis Xavier Quinn, a former Military Intelligence agent who brutally mutilated and murdered a female military colleague of Reacher's ten years before. Reacher had originally presumed Quinn to be deceased after their last little encounter but eventually found that assumption to be a trifle premature. It's ten years later and Quinn somehow just happens to be Zachary Beck's boss in a supremely lucrative, international gun-running enterprise. As always, it is Reacher's all-consuming obsession with revenge, or at least with his personal interpretation of doling out justice, which pushes him far beyond the normal boundaries of physical endurance and acceptable risk.
Critical reception[edit]
Leslie Doran of The Denver Post said that the novel had a "gripping and suspenseful opening" and that "for returning Reacher fans...beginning scenes will cause extra suspense".[2] Patrick Anderson of The Washington Post described it as "a skillful blend of sex, violence, sadism, weaponry, spies, smuggling, revenge, deception, suspense and nonstop action", though he also notes that the novel has "several premises that are hard to swallow".[3] After a short description of how quickly he read through the earlier books in the series after reading Persuader, Dale Jones of The Gazette simply stated "You might say I liked it".[4]

Just because the military and police used to use civilian weaponry does not mean there is a reason to take it away now. In fact, now that the police feel they need to get stronger and better weapons than the civilians can get we have turning into an evil oppressive force that kills any time it wishes and declares it a justified kill.
When the police give up their weapons, then they can talk about others giving up theirs. I still would not give mine up, but it is a non-starter when you are going to have an organized criminal gang of hired guns running around in the streets.

What are you most proud of? There were so many new skills i had to learn for this cake. Piecing fondant, sculpting a cake, painting with gels and powders, using wires in gum paste for the handles, and more... But when it all came together I couldn't believe that I actually made it myself!!

France moved onto the knockout stage of the FIFA World Cup following a scoreless draw with 10-man Ecuador on Wednesday in Group E at the Estadio do Maracana in Rio de Janeiro.
The result was enough to send France into the round of 16 as Group E winners with seven points, following wins in their opening two matches. Ecuador were eliminated after finishing third in the group.
France came into Wednesday's match having played some of the most exciting football of the group stage, scoring eight goals while beating Honduras and Switzerland in their first two matches. But with qualification—and first place in the group—all but assured, manager Didier Deschamps rested some key regulars against Ecuador, including playmaker Mathieu Valbuena and striker Olivier Giroud (the latter entered the match as a second-half substitute).
The result of the changes was obvious, as France were held scoreless for the first time in Brazil. But regardless of Wednesday's offensive performance, Les Bleus will enter the knockout stages as one of the teams to watch.
Up next for Deschamps' side is a match against Group F runners-up Nigeria. With a win over the African side, France could potentially face Germany in the quarter-finals—if Die Mannschaft finish first in Group G and advance past the round of 16.
Ecuador, meanwhile, are the only South American team to be knocked out in the group stage. With Switzerland defeating Honduras 3-0 in Group E's other match, La Tri needed a win to have any chance of advancing to the last 16.
Pedestrian performance from #France, but the important thing is they've qualified. Can look forward to date with Nigeria. #FRA #NGR

Will be really sad to see Ecuador go. They've bust a gut, and with no little skill and imagination. Plus, what a keeper
— Ian Prior (@ianprior) June 25, 2014
Clear chances were scarce for both teams in the first half. France's Antoine Griezmann scuffed a low shot off target in the 11th minute, and Moussa Sissoko had a volley saved by Ecuador goalkeeper Alexander Dominguez four minutes later.
Les Bleus' best chance of the first half came in the 38th minute, as Griezmann curled a free-kick from the left into the middle, where Paul Pogba directed a looping header on target. The attempt had little pace on it, however, and Dominguez tipped the ball over the bar.
Ecuador had an opening three minutes later, with Enner Valencia towering at the back post to nod Michael Arroyo's cross on target. French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris saved low at his left-hand post, and the match went into half-time scoreless.
Griezmann came close again in the second minute of the second half after a fine, flowing move by France. After collecting Pogba's angled pass on the right, Bacary Sagna curled a first-time cross into the path of Griezmann, whose volley was saved well by Dominguez.
Ecuador went down to 10 men in the 50th minute when captain Antonio Valencia drew a red card for a poor challenge on Lucas Digne. Replays showed Valencia came over the top of the ball before raking Digne's shins with his exposed studs.
The dismissal was a clear blow to Ecuador's hopes of advancing to the knockout stage, but the South Americans created the next chance after hitting France with a counter in the 54th minute.
Enner Valencia led the move, charging down the middle toward France's box before laying off for Christian Noboa. But with a glorious chance at his feet, Noboa missed the target, shooting weakly off target.
France responded with a spell of sustained attacking. Blaise Matuidi directed a high drive straight at Dominguez in the 62nd minute, and Benzema had a shot deflected wide of the post three minutes later.
Pogba had an even bigger chance in the 73rd minute, rising unmarked at the back post to meet Sissoko's cross with a header. But the Juventus midfielder opted for power instead of placement, sending his attempt off target.
With time quickly running out, Ecuador pushed forward in search of a winner. Enner Valencia set up Renato Ibarra for a good chance inside the box in the 82nd minute, but Lloris pushed away the latter's shot to keep the match scoreless.
Space started to open up around the pitch, with France creating danger as well. Karim Benzema and Giroud combined well in the Ecuador box in the 84th minute, but Benzema's shot was parried by Dominguez. Two minutes later, substitute Loic Remy forced Dominguez into a sprawling save with a shot from the right.
As the final whistle approached, it was France—rather than Ecuador, remarkably—creating the best chances. Les Bleus came close yet again in the second minute of stoppage time as Giroud flicked a header on target. Dominguez saved again to keep his side level, but after another few scoreless minutes, La Tri found themselves out of the World Cup regardless.
No doubt about man of the match here...#ecu goalkeeper Alexander Dominguez. 5-6 good saves. Embraced by #fra players at end. Still out sadly

Post-Match Reaction
France coach Didier Deschamps (via Goal.com):
We have qualified for the knockout rounds. It's all going well. Now we have five days to prepare for the last 16 game against Nigeria. We will analyse everything. Before thinking about it though, we'll enjoy qualifying for the knockout round.
We were lacking efficiency but the essentials are there. It's important that every player has rhythm," he added.
Sometimes, it's hard to win. But we had some chances. The keeper stopped some of them. Sometimes, when there are fewer opportunities, we score. That was the case on Friday (against Switzerland).

Thanks for the link. Why does the January issue contain so many styles that are more suited for 80 degree weather? I learned the term "american shoulder," didn't know such a thing existed. I'll be curious about the instructions for the broccoli head! Should make for interesting reading. Claudia
this one is ahem interesting...... Better have a good warm coat for this stuf though.
This is gorgeous! Although it looks to me like a jacket, it's in the lingerie section for some reason...

LTs Wand & Spencer vs. DE Jared Allen Saturday
"Owns tremendous natural instincts for the game
Lanky sack artist possesses great flexibility and an uncanny ability to bend his frame when coming off the edge
Can also use his speed to chase down ball carriers from behind or utilize his strength and athleticism to gain leverage on his foes
Seemingly always finds a way to get to the football
Racked up seven forced fumbles last season"
http://www.kcchiefs.com/player/jared_allen/ ************************************************* This young pass rusher will provide Wand and Spencer with a tremendous challenge this weekend. In only his third year, he got 9 sacks his rookie year and went into double digits with 11 last year. This side of "the man" Dwight Feeney himself, Allen may be as good as any pass rusher our LTs face this year. IMO, this is a major test for Wand because he's on the spot to deliver or expect the Texans coaches to step up their interest in Spencer, who sounds as if he's already breathing down Wand's neck for the job. But Spencer is just a rookie. I hope Allen is in there at his weakside position for atleast a full half, so that both of our tackles have a chance to show their stuff against a tough, high motor competitor. |

I think Spencer starts against the Eagles, but I don't think that's all good news. Wand has experience and should be winning that battle easily, but I don't think he will anymore.

"With rookie Charles Spencer challenging Wands position throughout training camp, both were being assessed as starters. Kubiak has decided to leave Wand as the starting left tackle, however he and Spencer will rotate throughout the game for equal reps.
Seth Wand will (start), he and Charles Spencer are basically going to play the football game for us, Kubiak said. Youre going to see them bouncing in and out periodically, but those two guys are in a battle. Theyre both neck-and-neck, and theyll go the whole game if they need to play. http://www.houstontexans.com/news/de...0Latest%20News ************************************************ The above is hot off the press today from the Texans web site, so the competition for LT as Kubiak says is "neck-and-neck". |

Wand IS also "our talent" and if that's what you call having had too many chances then it's a wonder anyone plays the same position two years in a row in this league. They're both 3rd round draft picks so which year do you want to throw away? Personally I'm pulling for both Wand and Spencer and everyone here should be too. If Spencer starts at LT this year I want him to have had to beat a guy for the job who was competent and if he goes down I want Wand to be able to step up and do the job. Likewise I want Spencer to push Seth Wand hard for that spot so that Wand earns it and demonstrates that he's capable of doing it.
Fitz makes bad decisions. That's not going to change. |

Anti-Semitism has been the subject of many fine works, ranging from multi-volume surveys. like Leon Poliakov's History of AntiSemitism, through book-length studies of entire periods. like Jacob Katz's From Prejudice to Destruction: Anti-Semitism 1700-1933, to a host of scholarly books and articles examining points of detail. Nevertheless, this volume presents the issues in a manner that ...

pp. 15-42
"Almost every note in the cacophony of medieval and modern anti-Semitism was sounded by the chorus of ancient writers."1 This observation is perfectly valid, but the phenomena that underlie it must be examined with meticulous care if we are to avoid hasty and exaggerated conclusions about the scope and intensity of classical anti-Semitism. ...

pp. 73-93
The study of anti-Semitism in the Muslim world is more than a definitional and semantic exercise. It is a study in theology and politics and their unique amalgam in time and space.

The fact that a volume on the history of anti-Semitism includes a brief American perspective is itself noteworthy.
