State makes major changes In Zebra Mussel containment
AUSTIN, Texas — A state commission voted Thursday to make permanent emergency requirements for boaters to clean, dry and drain their watercraft before and after entering lakes and streams in 17 North Texas counties.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission vote in Austin came in response to the threat of invasive zebra mussels and their larvae spreading from lake to lake and river to river.
The commission's move makes the "clean, dry and drain" rules permanent for public waters in Collin, Cooke, Dallas, Denton, Fannin, Grayson, Hood, Jack, Kaufman, Montague, Palo Pinto, Parker, Rockwall, Stephens, Tarrant, Wise, and Young counties. The shellfish was first seen in Texas in Lake Texoma in 2009 and have since spread to several North Texas lakes.
Most recently, however, zebra mussels were discovered Sept. 18 in Belton Lake, 60 miles north of Austin. It was the first time zebra mussels have been documented in the Brazos River basin, nearly 200 miles south of where they had been found previously in Texas. As a result, the Parks and Wildlife Department issued an emergency "wash, dry and drain" order in September for Belton Lake, Stillhouse Hollow Lake, and the Leon and Lampasas rivers.
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department staff will begin drafting regulations extending to Bell and Coryell counties in Central Texas, said Ken Kurzawski, freshwater fisheries regulation coordinator for the Parks and Wildlife Department. The proposal will probably be published for public comment in December and go before commissioners in January.

What's Thailand's climate like?
There are three seasons in Thailand, although what they are called and when they start is subject to much debate.
The Summer "hot" season runs essentially from March through to June, with temperatures between 33 C – 48 C in the day, and not below 27 C at night.
The Monsoon "rainy" season runs from July through to November with frequent heavy rain around 5.00pm.
The temperatures range from 32 C during the day to 16 C at night.
The winter "cool" season runs from November through to February with temperatures at 32C during the day, to a bearable 16 C at night, although in the North, it could be as low as 12 C.
This also doubles up as the dry season During the rainiest months of July to November, we recommend that you pack a light waterproof jacket and a pair of closed shoes.

Following up on our recent post regarding pregnancy discrimination developments, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission issued the Enforcement Guidance: Pregnancy Discrimination and Related Issues on July 14, 2014. This is the first comprehensive update of the EEOC's guidance on discrimination against pregnant workers in thirty years, since its 1983 Compliance Manual chapter. One major development in the new Enforcement Guidance is that pregnancy discrimination claims are not limited to the current pregnancy under the PDA – they can be based on "past pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions." Thus, the EEOC will more likely find a causal connection between a past pregnancy and the challenged employment action if there is close timing between the two, however a longer time gap between the pregnancy and the challenged action will not foreclose a finding of pregnancy discrimination.
A significant portion of the Enforcement Guidance concerns the PDA's requirement of equal treatment of pregnant workers in the workplace. Under the Enforcement Guidance, a pregnant worker can establish a violation of the PDA by showing that she was denied an accommodation that was granted to other employees who are similar in their ability or inability to work. This provision may be short-lived because this very issue is pending before the United States Supreme Court in Young v. UPS, where the Court will decide whether disabled workers are fair comparators for pregnant workers (for more information on Young, see our earlier post, PDA and Young: Pregnancy Discrimination Law to Break from its Infancy).
The Enforcement Guidance also advises against employers asking questions about an applicant's or employee's pregnancy status, plans to start a family or related issues during interviews or performance reviews. These inquiries will generally be regarded as evidence of pregnancy discrimination if followed by an unfavorable decision affecting a pregnant worker.
Because these guidelines create more avenues for plaintiffs to bring pregnancy discrimination claims and confirm the EEOC's interest in pregnancy-related claims, employers should expect to see more EEOC charges of pregnancy discrimination. Though the Enforcement Guidance does not have the force of law, EEOC investigators will be using it to assess claims of discrimination, making it a useful tool for employers seeking to avoid discrimination claims based on gender or pregnancy. The Enforcement Guidance can be found here, along with a Q&A and a fact sheet for small businesses.

In analyzing oil and gas stocks which trade on the North American stock markets, one of the key factors which determines whether or not the stock will outperform it's peers in the various stock markets is how successful there drilling results are to date. With natural gas plunging, oil drilling results become more and more of importance to these stocks trading on the North American stock markets. We have assembled never seen before oil drilling results which is derived from the various provincial registries in Western Canada in order to provide an unbiased view of which oil producers trading on the North American stock markets are having the greatest drilling success. In spending hundreds of hours pulling this data together we also have access to which oil stocks are drilling the most dry holes and having the worse results and have an insight on what stock will be moving up in the stock markets and which stock will be plummeting. Another key factor with natural gas prices reaching 10 year lows is what the actual production composition of the oil wells are as a lot of investors buy oil stocks as they believe they are drilling oil wells, but after reviewing the actual production data on a lot of these wells, they are actually natural gas wells which will have a huge long-term impact on the oil stocks share price given engineering firms will continue to reduce their natural gas price decks.
With an exclusive relationship with a group of well know former executive and technical staff of oil and gas companies in Western Canada, we have obtained a list of the top 30 oil wells drilled in Western Canada which have production data up to February 2012.
Our review of the February production data shows that Trilogy Resources Ltd. is one of the leading oil and gas producers with spectacular drilling results coming from their Montney play at Kaybob. If you would like to see some of our proprietary more detailed capital efficiency and detailed drilling results by stock sticker please contact us @ vp_marketing@stockmarketopedia. Further we continue to work with former executives of oil and gas companies to develop industry leading production, reserve, net asset value and capital efficiency reports for our users. This information is invaluable to investors investing in oil and gas stocks as it will also show you the number of dry holes the producers have drilled and also the actual oil and natural gas composition of these wells. Thousands of hours have been put into assembling this data and we have not seen anything like this before. An extremely powerful tool for both institutional oil and gas investors and the individual oil and gas investor.

Read on to answer all your questions and get a step closer to starting your Journey with Lost Campers…
Why should we rent a van from Lost Campers?
Lost Campers brings a unique concept of campervan travel to the USA. We rent vans that are easy to operate, easy to park and much easier on your gas budget. With a large, comfortable bed for 2 in each vehicle, the added cost and stress of finding accommodation is no longer a problem. Say goodbye to the multiple expense of hiring a rental car, eating out every day and hotel bills. Our vehicles are the perfect alternative, especially if the mere thought of hiring a larger, more cumbersome motor home makes you nervous. And here is food for thought – with the size of our vans, you will be leaving a smaller environmental footprint wherever you travel. So go ahead and reserve your Van today!
When should I book my Lost Camper?
We are continually growing our fleet of vans, however, we do book out pretty quickly, especially in the summer and holiday periods. Booking ahead will help to secure your Camper.
Are we allowed to wild camp or park anywhere in our Van overnight?
As long as it is safe to do so and you've checked that you are not breaking any parking or traffic rules. There will be signs in most areas if you are not allowed to park overnight. However, Lost Campers recommends that you stay in campgrounds for your safety.
Do I need to make reservations for campgrounds?
Yes, it is recommended. Many campgrounds, especially throughout California and the popular national parks can be fully booked, particularly on weekends and during the peak summer season. There are plenty of websites that provide information on State, National and private campgrounds. A good place to start for a directory listing is:
Which campground guides do you provide?
In each of our Vans you'll find the National Geographic Road Atlas – RV & Camping Edition. This is a full road map of all 50 states, including detail on the major cities across the country. This Atlas also provides information on 3700 RV parks and camping destinations and profiles 22 of America's favorite National Parks. Included is a listing of most State Parks across the country.
How do we get to your pick up and drop off location?
Our depot is in a very convenient location between the city of San Francisco and SFO Airport. Check out the contact page for our address, directions and a map. We are very close to a major access point on the highway and ten minutes from the airport. Whether you are downtown San Francisco or at the airport, Lost Campers can pick you up. Just purchase our VIP package for $40 for a one way shuttle or $70 for a two way shuttle (per rental).*Availability pending.
Is there public transport to your depot in San Francisco?
Yes and it's very easy. The Third Street light rail runs from the centre of the city to a station outside our depot. The trip takes less than 10 minutes and is relatively cheap. From the airport, you would need to take BART (train) to the city and then jump on the Third Street rail or otherwise a taxi from the airport would be approximately $20-25.
What are your operating hours?
We are available for Van pickups and drop-offs between 8am and 6pm (PST – California time) 7 days a week. Our depot may not be staffed at all times, so please call ahead if wanting to drop in.
Do I need an International Driver's License?
Yes. Lost Campers prefers that you have an International Driver's License in addition to your regular license, prior to coming to the U.S. Alternatively, if you are a United States citizen, a state issued driver's license is adequate.
How much luggage can I bring?
There is plenty of room for your bags. You have the entire space under the double/full size bed to store your gear out of sight. Please bring soft bags only, as most suitcases and some hard frame backpacks may be too large or bulky to store here.
Is bedding provided in my Lost Camper?
Yes. We provide clean sheets, pillows and a light blanket. You will need to provide your own sleeping bag if extra warmth is required. Otherwise, you can rent a sleeping bag or comforter from Lost Campers.
Do we need snow chains?
In many of the northern states during winter, you are required by law to have snow chains. Lost Campers has snow chains available if you are expecting to travel in snowy areas. Please advise us upon reserving your vehicle. When in doubt, use snow chains.
Do the campervans have stereos?
In most cases, our campervans have CD players and at the very least, all have stereo radios. Although the campervans have deep cycle batteries, playing the stereo for extended periods of time whilst the engine is off could cause a flat battery. If this occurs, it is your responsibility and at your own cost to get the vehicle started. Sorry to be a party pooper!
Can we do one way rentals?
We are offering a limited one-way service to Los Angeles. Contact for more details.
Are there any discounts available if we do multiple or group bookings?
Sure, we'll look at your request and work something out for you.
What age do I have to be to rent from Lost Campers?
You will have to be 21 years or older to rent our Vans.
Can I provide my own insurance?
Yes, please provide us with your car insurance details at time of booking so we can ascertain whether you will be covered with us.
Traveling, relaxing and hanging out in a Lost Campers Van will make your trip around the USA something to remember!!

"Built to last" new addition to children's section
I read many children's fiction books each year, but now and then a non-fiction title will catch my eye and I just have to take it home to read also. That was the case with the book "Built to Last: Building America's Amazing Bridges, Dams, Tunnels, and Skyscrapers" by George Sullivan, a new addition to the children's collection.
Sullivan is a full-time author who has written more than 100 non-fiction books for young people. His interests include history, photography, architecture, and baseball, and the subjects of his many books reflect these varied interests.
"Built to Last" tells the story of the design and construction of seventeen architectural and engineering marvels. It is illustrated with many wonderful photographs, including vertical, double-page spreads of the United States Capitol, the Flatiron Building, the Empire State Building, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Sears Tower, and the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial Arch.
Sullivan has divided the book into five sections according to time periods in American history: "The Early Republic 1790-1850," "Invention and Discovery 1850-1910," "Hard Times 1920-1940," "A Golden Age 1950-1965," and "Megaprojects 1990-Present." I was fascinated reading about the building of such projects as the Erie Canal, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Transcontinental Railroad, Hoover Dam, and the U.S. Interstate Highway System.
If you are interested in learning more about architecture and engineering, there are many other books available in the children's department as well. The "Smart Structures" series by Julie Richards includes volumes on "Dams," "Canals and Aqueducts," "Bridges," "Tunnels," "Skyscrapers and Towers," and "Stadiums and Domes."
You can read more about how dams are built in "Dams" by Chris Oxlade or "Dams" by Lynn M. Stone. To learn more about a specific famous dam, look for "The Hoover Dam: A Monument of Ingenuity" by Luke S. Gabriel.
There are books about bridges in general, such as Ken Robbins' book "Bridges" or "Bridges Are to Cross" by Philemon Sturges. You will also find books about specific bridges, such as "The Golden Gate Bridge" by Caroline Arnold and "Brooklyn Bridge" by Lynn Curlee.
How structures are built underground is addressed in "The World of Caves, Mines and Tunnels" by Stephen Hoare, "Tunnels, Tracks, and Trains: Building a Subway" by Joan Hewett, and "Underground" by David Macaulay.
I suppose that the opposite of these titles would be books about very tall buildings, such as "Skyscrapers: How America Grew Up" by John B. Severance, "Skyscrapers Inside and Out" by Leonard M. Joseph, and "Into the Sky" by Ryan Ann Hunter.
Engineers and architects are problem solvers, and these and other books in the children's department of the library explain how they came up with some ingenious solutions.

The case of five-year-old missing girl April Jones has been grabbing headlines lately, as her alleged killer pleads not guilty.
April vanished from Machynlleth in Wales, on October 1, 2012. When she was last seen, she was riding her bike on the family estate, at Machynlleth's Bryn-y-Gog.
The Telegraph notes that 46-year-old Mark Bridger, the man on trial for her death, has pleaded not guilty on charges of abduction, murder and interfering with a police investigation. The latter charge was filed as police believe he disposed of the girl's body after taking her life.
Even with a not guilty plea, the defendant's defense attorney, Brendan Kelly, has stated that his client does not admit to murdering the child, but might be "responsible" for her death.
His defense requires him "conceding that he probably killed the child," Kelly said in court.
"That matter can be reported. You have indicated that the defendant's case is that he was probably responsible for the death of April," the judge, Mr. Justice Griffith-Williams, responded.
A neighbor of the Jones family, Bridger lived on the Mount Pleasant farmhouse, in Ceinws. He was arrested for the crime the next day after her disappearance. Despite efforts by law enforcement and community-driven volunteer rescue teams, April's remains have not been recovered.
"I can't stop crying today, I've been doing some house work and I've come across some of April things and pictures. […]
"I love you so much April, please if you are that person out there who knows please come forward," mother Coral Jones posted on Facebook, on the day marking 3 months since she last saw April.
16 teams employed by local police are looking for April, reports say. The search was paused for two weeks during winter break, and resumed in January.

Gwen Keyes Fleming: Florida makes progress to address costly water pollution
Nutrient pollution — the excess nitrogen and phosphorus that causes algal blooms and fish kills — is a major source of water quality impairment across the state of Florida. Nutrient pollution threatens human health and the environment, hurts businesses and costs jobs, reduces property values, diminishes recreational opportunities and impacts your quality of life.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has long held that limits are necessary to protect Florida's waters from nutrient pollution. The Clean Water Act designates primary responsibility for protecting water quality with states, and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection has worked for years to collect data on the condition of statewide waters and adopt its own numeric nutrient standards. Recently, EPA approved FDEP's revised rules to reduce nutrient pollution in Florida's treasured waters.
After careful review, EPA determined FDEP's rules and supporting documentation meet Clean Water Act requirements and applicable federal regulations for the water bodies they cover. Our agency commends the FDEP for taking this significant step toward protecting and restoring the quality of Florida's waters.
The state's rules use scientifically sound approaches to protect the many uses of Florida's waters — from fishing and swimming to drinking. Because Florida and our office worked together to develop the science, the numeric limits for nitrogen and phosphorus in springs, lakes and streams (outside South Florida) are virtually identical to those in the federal 2010 rule developed to protect these same waters.
Florida also has adopted additional biological and chemical indicators to identify and prevent nutrient pollution in streams and protect sensitive downstream waters. These tools were used by the state in the Santa Fe River to determine that it was impaired and needed restoration. Using numeric limits has also helped protect estuaries in Tampa Bay, Sarasota Bay, Charlotte Harbor, and South Florida marine waters.
We are pleased that the state has also recently adopted numeric limits for nutrient pollution in additional Panhandle estuaries, and we look forward to receiving these for review under the Clean Water Act. However, in accordance with a 2009 consent decree with the Florida Wildlife Federation, EPA is also proposing two federal nutrient rules for only those waters not already protected by Florida's new standards.
The first rule proposes numeric limits on the amount of nutrient pollution allowed in Florida's estuaries and coastal waters, as well as in flowing waters in South Florida. The other serves to clarify some provisions in our 2010 rule and proposes numeric limits on the amount of nutrient pollution for those inland waters not addressed in the FDEP's current rules. These common sense measures will help protect the water that communities across Florida use for drinking, swimming, and fishing.
We welcomes public comment on our proposals and will host a public information session and web-based public hearings to gather input.
While EPA is prepared to finalize these rules next year under its consent decree obligations, it is also prepared not to move forward and defer to Florida's rules for any Florida waters that become protected under state law in accordance with Clean Water Act requirements.
Clean water is vital for Florida, and the state is now on a path to establishing and implementing its own nutrient pollution rules that will allow everyone to enjoy cleaner water.

An internal-vibration isolation system, consisting of a special rubber-mounting ring as a support for the element, reduces gooseneck, stand, and handling noise. The 119L microphone has an effective multi-stage blast filter controls breath pop and wind disturbances.
This gooseneck mic by Astatic has a low-impedance output and is supplied with 5-1/2' of rugged two-conductor shielded cable. It's extremely rugged and reliable and will stand up under the most strenuous handling conditions to provide years of dependable service.

Rich color. Smooth feel. Now silk makes shadow new again. Our exclusive formula with silk pigments creates the ultimate shadow texture and luminosity.
I love these! I have about 4 of these pallets. I love the way they glide on so smoothly and the subtle shimmer blends into my lids so nicely. Maybelline really did a good job with this line
This quad is super vibrate and highly pigmented. The shadows feel so creamy and rich. The colors are so amazing and I feel like they work with any skin tone. These colors have to be one of my faves
I was amazed by how pigmented and rich this quad is. Every time I wear it I get many compliments. The colors are beautiful and si vibrant. Definitely worth buying.
Nearly all the colors are shimmery, it would have been fantastic if for example the champagne one was more matte.
The colors are good and pigmented, blends easily.
Good to be drugstore
Longwearing without primer, 4-5 hours, I don't have especially oily eyelids, I think they're normal.
Doesn't flake or have fallouts
Colors look good together
It easily breaks
The packaging is a bit bad, it will get damaged if you lose it on floor, another of my maybelline eyeshadow palettes doesn't do this.
Too shimmery colors
However the product is totally worth the money!
I absolutely love this. I have blue eyes with yellow circle around pupil and this eye shadow really let's it pop. I love gold eyeshadow and when I saw this in my local drugstore I had to get it. I actually really like this product. I would recommend this to anyone.
I like to shop at drugstores usually to check out maybelline or other similar products. The eyeshadow palette is great but you do have to use a primer. Otherwise it blends well and a good product from maybelline.
My favorite way to use this is to put the first color, the tan, on the insides of my eyes: makes me look wide-eyed and bushy-tailed! Well, maybe not so much the bushy-tailed part.....
I love the color combinations that these quads offer. I have three: gutsy green, olive martini and natural shock. The formula is good, creamy and silky without being powdery and no fallout. A little goes a long way with these, and the colors blend beautifully together. With primer underneath, it stays put all day, without it, at least on me, it can crease a bit. Overall, I'm satisfied with these quads.
ughhhhh hate it ! not very good pigmentation needs a primer ...its a glittery mess !!! and it has alot of fallout :( very disapointed
love maybelline but not this product!

How do I determine which GorillaPod is right for my camera/equipment?
Use GorillaPod Finder to find the GorillaPod that is right for you!
GorillaPods come in a variety of sizes to best support your camera equipment, depending on the weight of your gear. The easiest way to find out how much your camera weighs is to use an accurate scale (the one in your bathroom will work just fine). If that isn't handy, you can follow the guidelines below based on type of camera and the size of lenses, battery packs and flashes that you may also use.
- GorillaPod Original and GorillaPod Magnetic are designed for point and shoot cameras weighing up 11.5 oz (325g)
- GorillaPod Video is designed for personal video recorders such as the Flip, Kodak Zi8 or Playsport and mini camcorders weighing up to 11.5 oz (325g)
- GorillaPod Hybrid is ideal for lightweight SLR cameras without zoom lenses, hybrid cameras, and external flashes. It supports up to 2.2 lbs (800g)
- GorillaPod SLR-ZOOM fits SLR cameras that are armed with zoom lenses. It supports up to 6.6lbs (3kg)
- GorillaPod Focus is the largest GorillaPod and is meant for professional grade photography equipment. This translates into heavy zoom lenses, battery packs and flashes. The GorillaPod Focus supports 11.0 lbs (5kg)
- GorillaPod Micro Tripod is designed for point & shoot cameras weighing up to 250g (8.8oz)
- GorillaPod Micro Hybrid is designed for compact system cameras weighing up to 800g (28.2oz)
My GorillaPod's ball and socket joint seems really loose. How can I fix it?
After extensive use, small cracks can occur at the GorillaPod's joints, making the ball and sockets seem loose. If you've had your GorillaPod for less than a year, it is covered under warranty and the broken unit can be replaced. Click here for warranty information. To begin a warranty claim, please email email@example.com.
My GorillaPod's leg is broken. Do you sell replacement parts?
No, due to the specific way we build our GorillaPods, we are unable to sell replacement legs. If you're looking for another spare part, like quick-release clips, they can be found on the Accessories tab of the product page.
What's the difference between "packaged" and "eco-packaged"?
Retail packaged and "Eco-packaged" GorillaPods contain the same product. We offer the eco-packaged version as a smaller footprint, more environmentally friendly alternative to our retail packaging.>
Do the GorillaPod SLR-Zoom or GorillaPod Focus have quick-release adapters?
Neither the GorillaPod SLR-Zoom nor the GorillaPod Focus comes with a quick-release plate built in, as they are both designed for ballhead attachments. The GorillaPod Original, GorillaPod Magnetic, GorillaPod Video and GorillaPod Hybrid include a quick-release clip.
The JOBY Ballhead for the GorillaPod SLR Zoom does feature a quick-release plate and is a perfect addition to the GorillaPod SLR Zoom. The Ballhead X for GorillaPod Focus also features a quick-release plate and is a perfect pair with the GorillaPod Focus.
Are the magnets in my GorillaPod Magnetic or GorillaPod Video safe around memory cards or credit cards?
The magnets in GorillaPod Magnetic and GorillaPod Video will not harm memory cards or credit cards provided you do not rub the magnetic feet against the card repeatedly.
Where can I find accessories, such as additional quick-release clips?
Accessories are listed in the Accessories tab on the page of the corresponding main product. For example, if you are looking for an extra clip for the GorillaPod Original, you can find it in the Accessories tab of the GorillaPod Original product page.
I lost my tripod quick-release clip. What do I do?
You can purchase replacement clips for all GorillaPods in the Accessories tab of the product page. Replacement clips for GorillaPod Original, GorillaPod Magnetic and GorillaPod Video are the same size and are interchangeable. The Bubble Level clip, Extra QR clip and Flash Shoe clip are the same size and are compatible with GorillaPod Hybrid, GorillaPod SLR-Zoom with Ballhead, and Ballhead SLR-Zoom.
My GorillaPod Video head seems too loose. Is it broken?
The GorillaPod Video head is designed to move fluidly in both the horizontal and vertical directions so that users can follow a subject no matter where it goes. For this reason, we designed the tilt to not lock in place. Check out our How To Use Guide at the bottom of the page.
To get around this feature, we suggest tilting the head forward until it is propped up by the release button. Then adjust the GorillaPod's many joints (including the neck joint) to the desired angle.
What type of batteries does my GorillaTorch need?
GorillaTorch 100, GorillaTorch Flare 125 and GorillaTorch Switchback all use AA batteries. GorillaTorch Blade has an internal rechargeable battery that you can charge via USB or with the included AC/USB power charger.
Why won't my GorillaTorch turn on?
This problem can occur when the battery cap has not been securely tightened. When screwing on the battery cap, you will feel a slight click as the cap passes over a small notch in the threading. This will indicate the cap is securely tightened and the battery circuitry is completed. You may need to use something with a rubberized texture to grip the cap and twist it firmly.
Are the magnets in my GorillaTorch safe around memory cards or credit cards?
The magnets in your GorillaTorch will not harm memory cards or credit cards provided you do not rub the magnetic feet against the card repeatedly.
Will GripTight fit my smartphone?
GripTight will fit smartphones between 2.1-2.8 inches | 54-72mm, like iPhone 5, iPhone 4/4S, iPhone 3G/3GS, Samsung Galaxy S III, Motorola Droid RAZR, and HTC Evo 4G.
Will GripTight fit my iPod Touch?
GripTight will fit devices between 2.1-2.8 inches | 54-72mm, like the new iPod Touch and iPod Touch 4th Generation.
Will GripTight work with my tripod?
GripTight is compatible with any tripod or ballhead with a standard 1/4-20 in. screw attachment point, including all GorillaPods.
Will GripTight work with my GorillaMobile for iPhone 4/4S?
The GripTight Mount attaches via 1/4 – 20 in. screw. If you still have the supplemental 1/4-20 in. screw clip that came with your GorillaMobile for iPhone 4/4S, simply attach that clip to the GripTight Mount and slide it into the GorillaMobile tripod base.
Does GripTight work in portrait orientation like GorillaMobile for iPhone 4/4S?
GripTight grips onto your phone in landscape orientation and attaches to tripods in landscape orientation. If you want to shoot in portrait orientation, you'll need to position the legs of your tripod to achieve that shooting mode.
Will the UltraFit Sling Strap work with my camera?
The UltraFit Sling Strap is designed for use with DSLRs and CSC cameras. It can accommodate cameras with zoom lenses and battery packs.
Will the 3-Way Camera Strap work with my camera?
The 3-Way Camera Strap is designed for use with DSLRs and CSC cameras weighing up to 6 lbs (2.7 kg).
What is the difference between the UltraFit Sling Strap for Women and UltraFit Sling Strap for Men?
The UltraFit Sling Strap for Women is designed specifically for a woman's body and will fit almost all women. It has an S-Curve shaped pad that is shorter and thinner than the pad on the Men's strap so that it more comfortably fits a woman's chest. The circular pivot ring at the chest is also slightly smaller in diameter and the total strap length is 6" shorter than on the Men's strap.
What size UltraFit Sling Strap for Men should I order? What is the difference between the two sizes?
If you wear a men's t-shirt in size M, L or XL, you should choose the M - XL UltraFit, which is the original UltraFit size. If you wear a men's t-shirt size XXL, you should choose the XXL UltraFit. The features of both straps are identical; the only difference is the webbing of the XXL version was increased by 6 inches to accomodate larger frames.
Can I use my tripod and your camera strap at the same time?
Yes, with our UltraPlate Quick Release Plate you can use two 1/4-20 tripod-mounted accessories at the same time. Attach the UltraPlate to your camera, then attach your camera strap to one of the plate's mounting holes, and then attach your tripod quick release plate to the other mounting hole. UltraPlate is Arca-Swiss compatible so you can put it directly onto any Arca-Swiss tripod or ballhead, like Ballhead X for GorillaPod Focus.

Kentucky's largest child care agency will not hire gay workers
MOUNT WASHINGTON, Ky. - Gay employees will not be hired for work at Kentucky's largest private child care agency, the board decided Friday.
Sunrise Children's Services issued a statement after the vote took place that informed job applicants that the agency does not hire gays, the AP reported.
A change to Sunrise's policy that would allow gay workers to be hired, the AP said, was encouraged by Sunrise President Bill Smithwick. He said state and federal funding could be put in jeopardy, because Sunrise gets about $1 million a year from Baptist churches.
Chair member of Sunrise's board said the vote "will not affect the everyday care Sunrise provides to families and children."
According to the AP, Sunrise serves about 2,000 abused and neglected children around Kentucky each year. Some of those kids are cared for by the foster care office in Florence.
Eileen Beri is a psychologist in Cincinnati, and doesn't see an issue with sexual orientation and caring for foster kids.
"They care for children," she said. "They need to educate and be comfortable with children. You need people with training, knowledge of children, and you have to know how to deal with kids."
As for screening for sexual orientation in an interview process, Beri said it's just not relevant.
"They can ask my age, but then I can file suit if I don't get the job," she said.
When it comes to providing care to foster children, the board decided sexual orientation should keep someone from being hired, which meant it would keep its current hiring standards.
"Sexual orientation has nothing to do with it," Beri said.

OAKLAND, Calif. Nick Foles record-setting performance turned a struggling Eagles offense into an unstoppable machine.
Foles tied an NFL mark with seven touchdown passes and threw for 406 yards to revitalize Philadelphia in a 49-20 victory over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.
The backup quarterback connected three times with Riley Cooper to become the seventh passer in NFL history with seven TD tosses in a game. Peyton Manning did it for Denver on opening night this season against Baltimore.
Foles also threw scoring passes to Brent Celek, Zach Ertz, LeSean McCoy and DeSean Jackson as the Eagles (4-5) looked nothing the offense that failed to score a touchdown in each of the past two weeks.
Foles completed 22 of 28 passes. The Raiders fell to 3-5.

Enhancements to HP's ArcSight portfolio use big data analytics to help security administrators rapidly detect persistent threats
There is no shortage of vendors offering big data analytics solutions designed to help enterprise companies enhance revenue-boosting decision processes, but Hewlett-Packard is extending big data analytics capability further to security applications.
The Palo Alto, Calif.-based company today announced upgrades to its HP ArcSight portfolio that includes capabilities for unified security analytics for big data as well as expanded monitoring features to speed up detection of persistent threats.
"Adversaries only need to get it right once to invoke serious damage on an organization's private data," said Haiyang Song, vice-president of ArcSight enterprise security products at HP. "With solutions designed to enhance threat detection through improved security analytics for big data, HP (NYSE:HPQ) enables customers to quickly identify potential attackers and take action proactively."
The upgrades include:
– Out-of-the-box threat profiles and threat profile intelligence for HP ArcSight Threat Detector 2.0
– HP ArcSight Threat Response Manager 5.5 gets cloud-ready, closed-loop capabilities for faster threat detection and response time to mitigate advance persistent threats (APT)
– Enhancements to HP ArcSight IdentityView 2.5 which now has expanded correlation of user identity, roles and activities across events and other security incidents
With unified analytics from applications, users, networks and systems, HP provides a unique portfolio of solutions integrating information security with big data, HP said.
"Collectively, these solutions process events at scale, provide deep insights out-of-the-box, correlate user context and provide actionable intelligence to reduce the risk of APTs," HP said in a statement.

The Northwestern basketball teams can earn NCAA Tournament berths with championship wins this weekend. The Demons are aiming for a repeat trip to March Madness after winning the Southland Tournament title last year.
NSU softball plays at the Lady Demon Diamond Saturday at 2 p.m. in a Southland doubleheader against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. The series wraps up with a noon meeting Sunday.
Lady Demon tennis hosts 11 a.m. Southland matches Saturday and Sunday against Incarnate Word and Abilene Christian, respectively.
The Demon basketball team (16-13) plays a quarterfinal game Thursday at 5 p.m. at the Merrell Center in Katy, on the west side of Houston. A win advances the NSU men to a Friday 5 p.m. semifinal matchup with top-seeded Stephen F. Austin. The championship game is Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. The Demons have won four in a row and 11 of their last 13 games.
Like the NSU men, the Lady Demons are the No. 4 seed in an eight-team bracket and open with a quarterfinal matchup. Winners of four straight and eight of their last 11, the NSU women (18-12) play Friday morning at 11 a.m., and if they win, they play in a semifinal contest at noon Saturday against top-seeded Lamar. The championship game is Sunday at noon.
Broadcasts of all NSU basketball games are on 100.7 FM KZBL in Natchitoches, the flagship station of the Demon Sports Network, and on 92.1 FM KSYR in Shreveport and 99.9 KTEZ FM in Many, along with a free audio stream on the NSUDemons.com website.
The first two rounds of the tournament will be streamed live for free on the Southland Digital Network, including southland.org/watch and the league's iPhone and Android Apps available at southland.org/apps. The semifinals will be available solely on ESPN3.
The men's championship game will reach a national television audience on ESPN2 Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. The women's championship game coverage Sunday at noon is on the CBS Sports Network.
Williams will compete Friday at 7 p.m. CDT as the ninth-seeded jumper in a 16-man field. He will earn All-America honors if he records a mark, and first-team honors if he finishes in the top eight. He's the first NSU qualifier for the NCAA Indoors since four-time All-American Stephanie Sowell in 2004. Live coverage is available through the live stats link on the NSUDemons.com website.
The rest of the NSU track and field teams will begin the outdoor season Friday at the Jim Mize Invitational in Ruston hosted by Louisiana Tech.
The Demon baseball team begins the long Southland Conference season on the road in Tulsa with a three-game series at Oral Roberts opening Friday night.
Spring football practice is on the horizon. The Demons kick off spring ball next Tuesday under second-year coach Jay Thomas, with the 25th Annual Joe Delaney Bowl Spring Game on Thursday, April 10 at 5:30 in Turpin Stadium.

New Computer Software Helps You With Your Makeup
New Software Could Make "Perfect" Makeup Easy
Like us on Facebook
It's not as complicated as it sounds, actually. The program just matches your face to one of 60 models in its database, then uses the data from professional makeovers done on those models to give you advice. So basically, you're getting makeup advice for someone the computer thinks looks a whole lot like you.
Still, given how many products there are out there, and how much time many of us spend trying to find makeup shades that look good, the software could be worthwhile. Until it becomes commercially available, though, you can always just head to Sephora and ask one of its beauty advisers to help you pick out colors.

Kentucky Congressman Brett Guthrie is in town speaking to the Military Officers Association of America about his first term in congress.
Congressman Guthrie told stories about his first days in Washington, finding office space, learning the rules, and different traditions.
The Congressman also answered a few questions about the November election, the New York Mosque, and health care.
He also says he supports Doctor Rand Paul.
"Dr. Paul, I've known him for a long time he's always been since I've been in Frankfort leader of a watch dog group for tax payers on Government spending too much money. If the issues for you are spending, debt and economic growth then he's the candidate I'm supporting," said Rep. Brett Guthrie.
Congressman Guthrie mentioned the Mosque in New York should not be built near Ground Zero.

Maybe Adam Oates sees Alex Ovechkin differently than Ovechkin sees himself.
Maybe he sees Ovechkin as a net-crashing, bull-in-a-china-shop power forward who needs to rediscover what it's like to score dirty goals.
And maybe that's why Oates went back to a line of Ovechkin with Jay Beagle and Joey Crabb at Monday's practice at Kettler Capitals Iceplex.
"I like having north-south guys with him," Oates said. "Maybe sometimes other [linemates] might try to get too creative … as opposed to being more relentless going north. I think playing with Joey and Beags, they're going to go north more."
While Oates' rationale has merit, it likely will draw some second-guessing, especially by the hockey-crazed media in Ottawa and Toronto, where the Caps play their next two games.
After all, Beagle and Crabb will never be mistaken for Nicklas Backstrom and Troy Brouwer, who played with Ovechkin much of last season and were reunited in the second period of Sunday's 3-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres.
Beagle and Crabb have spent much of their careers on the fringes of NHL rosters. Last season, in his first full year in the NHL, Beagle had four goals for the Caps. Crabb had 11 for the Maple Leafs.
"I obviously want to keep playing with him because he's a great player," Beagle said of Ovechkin. "I'm finding that me, Crabber and him are communicating pretty well out there and getting to know each other.
"Me and Crabber are hard-working, grinder kind of players. He's got a lot more skills than us, obviously, but he kind of plays that similar style. He hits and crashes and bangs and he works the wall well. He can really grind it out down low and no one can move him off the puck. I think it works."
Through five games Ovechkin now has had seven different linemates – Backstrom, Brouwer, Marcus, Johansson, Wojtek Wolski, Matt Hendricks, Beagle and Crabb. In those five games Ovechkin has one power-play goal on 18 shots and is still looking for his first even-strength goal.
Brouwer said he wasn't entirely surprised to see Ovechkin back with Beagle and Crabb, saying he thought his line with Backstrom and Wolski played well in New Jersey Friday night and again on Sunday.
"As [Sunday's] game went on we had some shifts with Ovi," Brouwer said. "He was playing hard [Sunday], dumping pucks and doing the right things. He still has to limit those turnovers at the [offensive] blue line, but he was doing the right things."
Backstrom, who has two assists and is a minus-2 in five games, said he's not happy with his play.
"Me personally, I can be better at pretty much everything."
Here are the line combos used by Oates at Monday's practice, in preparation for Tuesday's night's visit to Ottawa against the 3-1-1 Senators [7:30 p.m., CSN]:
- Alex Ovechkin – Jay Beagle – Joey Crabb
- Wojtek Wolski – Nicklas Backstrom – Troy Brouwer
- Jason Chimera – Mike Ribeiro – Joel Ward
- Matt Hendricks – Mathieu Perreault/Marcus Johansson – Eric Fehr
Defense pairings:
- Karl Alzner – Mike Green
- John Erskine – John Carlson
- Jeff Schultz – Tomas Kundratek
- Roman Hamrlik – Tom Poti
Oates said Michal Neuvirth [1-1-1, 2.92 GAA] will get the start in Ottawa. Against the Senators, Neuvirth has a career mark of 4-0-0 with a 1.55 GAA and .945 save percentage.

Texas DPS Changes Helicopter Policy after Immigrants Shot Near La Joya
Posted By Adan On February 22, 2013 @ 1:08 pm In Border Control & Illegal Immigration,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled

The Monitor

The head of the Texas Department of Public Safety denied its new policy prohibiting troopers in helicopters from shooting, unless they've been fired upon first, is connected to the fatal chase near La Joya nearly four months ago.
DPS Director Steve McCraw's announcement Thursday surprised the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas, which applauded the move. Hidalgo County District Attorney Rene Guerra said he supported the change, while adding that the case could go before a grand jury as early as mid-March.
The policy allowing troopers to shoot from helicopters was the only one of its kind among law enforcement agencies in Southwestern border states. It came under scrutiny after Trooper Miguel Avila fatally shot two Guatemalan immigrants during a helicopter chase near La Joya in October 2012. A third immigrant was injured.
[…] The new DPS policy states an officer must reasonably believe a suspect has used, or is about to use, deadly force against law enforcement and bystanders. Aggressive or reckless driving to evade arrest is not considered use of a deadly weapon, according to the DPS policy.

Ski resorts in Switzerland
With a wealth of glaciers and gnarly steep runs, Swiss resorts have a lot to offer intermediate and advanced skiers. Mile upon mile of spectacular off-piste make these areas great for backcountry skiing as well as ski touring, and recent changes to ski areas have meant that there is generally now enough to keep beginners happy as well.
Down in the valleys Switzerland excels by offering enchanting resorts that retain a feel of the original Alpine farming villages that they once were. The scenery is often stunning too, with imposing mountains such as the Matterhorn. The more well-known Swiss ski resorts are associated with high society and money but many of them are in reality more concerned with skiing and hiking in the mountains than posing in fur coats. Swiss ski resorts are also much more welcoming to British tourists than many other European ski resorts.

A Blow to the College-Industrial Complex
December 26, 2012
Heather Mac Donald
The New York Times seems concerned that teens in the fracking belt of eastern Montana are opting to work in the new oil-field economy right after high school rather than going straight on to college. A front-page story warns: Taking a job is "a lucrative but risky decision for any 18-year-old to make, one that could foreclose on his future if the frenzied pace of oil and gas drilling from here to North Dakota to Texas falters and work dries up."
Lets see. Where is a teenager more likely to learn the basic and transferable virtue of showing up every day and on time, not to mention how to get along with a boss and fit into an organization as a communications and binge-drinking double major at Missoula State University, or as a mechanic fixing broken rig equipment? Too many high-school graduates are reflexively going to college as it is, without a clue what they are doing there or how to take advantage of higher education. Mandatory stints in the private economy before college enrollment could do wonders for study skills. If, by deferring or maybe even skipping college entirely, students were foregoing their one hope for immersion in Western civilization, there would indeed be grounds for regret. But colleges own curricular decisions have long since destroyed their right to present themselves as a gateway for precious knowledge of the past.
It is unlikely, of course, that if some subset of teens were regularly interning at Planned Parenthood or Marriage Equality after high school, the Times would point out the risks of not attending college right away. The Times story is interesting as a "state-of-the-economy" report, but it appears to be inspired more by alarm at the implicit challenge to the college-industrial complex, with its hordes of student-support bureaucrats preaching about diversity and playing key supporting roles in adolescent psychodramas.

UPS takes long view of Europe in making its long-awaited run at TNT
UPS believes now is the time to seize an opportunity to buy TNT Express to significantly bolster its competitive stance in Europe. UPS assures despite Europe's shaky economic state, the continent is a growth vehicle for the company, and believes it can capitalise on TNT's vast European road network. UPS also gains key access to the powerhouse of Brazil, and remains confident of TNT's success in turning around its operations in the country.
The proposed USD6.8 billion purchase of TNT by UPS is the largest acquisition in its 105-year history, and pairs well the recent investments UPS has made in expanding its Worldport hub in Louisville, Kentucky; completing a USD200 million expansion project at is Cologne, Germany hub set for completion in 2013; the 2010 opening of its intra-Asia hub in Shenzhen and the 2008 opening of its Shanghai hub, UPS CEO Scott Davis tells investors. TNT Express's air hub is located at Liege, Belgium.
European airlines report single-digit traffic growth in 2010; profits remain weak
European airlines reported single-digit growth last year - a welcome improvement from 2009's depressed level - but 2010 was a lacklustre year overall. Full year data has been released by the Association of European Airlines (AEA), the European Low Fares Airline Association (ELFAA) and EUROCONTROL. As noted by EUROCONTROL, growth across the continent last year was driven mainly by LCCs.
Chinese cargo growth leading the recovery worldwide but some challenges ahead
With China's GDP surging in the first half of 2010 in response to a stronger global economy, it is no surprise that the Chinese air freight market is going from strength to strength, as the country's manufacturing sector recovers at a cracking pace following the global financial downturn. But the Chinese air freight segment, still in its formative stages, is highly fragmented. At the beginning of the year, the CAAC stated it would focus on the development of the country's cargo industry and encourage cargo airlines to undergo mergers and acquisitions, restructuring and business cooperation. Furthermore, in its Development Strategic Plan, the CAAC stated it plans to develop at least one internationally competitive airline company and one internationally competitive cargo airline by 2030. In this article, we review the most recent developments of China's air freight market participants.
