Taking the Nikon 1 to Dream Land with a 25 1.4 C-Mount $29 lens!
Taking the Nikon 1 to Dream Land with a 25 1.4 C-Mount $29 lens!
The Nikon V1 is an interchangeable lens camera. We all know this fact, but what many do not know is that you can use many other lenses, old lenses, 3rd party lenses, and even Leica lenses on the V1 using certain adapters. IMO, it is a waste of money and glass to use expensive Leica lenses on the V1 or 1 system cameras due to the 2.7 crop that robs the beauty from the lens. For example, a 35mm summicron would turn into a 90 and you would lose the magic of the lens which was designed for full frame. Many complain about the 1 system and the difficulties of achieving "Bokeh" or out of focus backgrounds (shallow depth of field) with the standard Nikon 1 lenses. There are two that will deliver this for you but one is expensive at $900 (the 32 1.2) and one is under $200 but will still lack a little in the Bokeh department unless you are shooting up close. That lens is the fantastic 18.5 1.8.
Still, those lenses may not deliver the blur that many "power bokeh junkies" want. There is a reason many people pay $11k for a 50mm Noctilux and yes, 99% of all Noctilux users shoot that thing at f/0.95 as it was designed and optimized to do. Luckily, there is a crazy way to get extreme Bokeh on the 1 system cameras with the use of a $29 lens that is sold on Amazon, by Amazon. It is in NO WAY anything like a Nocti, but hey, for $29 what do you expect?
UPDATE: Yesterday I posted the image below asking ALL of you to guess which camera and lens took the photo.
MANY of you said Leica M 240 and various lenses from vintage glass like the Summarit to the $11,000 Noctilux to the 50 1.5 Nokton. I mean, a ton of you said Leica M, which is a full frame camera! This tells me that many associate crazy massive Bokeh with Leica and/or full frame. Crazy what we will see when we do not know what took the image :)
Others said the Nikon V1 and 32 1.2, but even that lens would not render anywhere close to this way. What you see below if you look closely is crazy melted bokeh and soft corners. The Leica modern lenses would be crisp and sharp in the corners and the Nikon 32 1.2 would be as well. Some vintage glass renders in this way on the Leica M 240 and yes, the colors below do look comparable to the Leica M 240 but this came from the V1 and the $29 25 1.4 C-Mount lens with the $10 adapter :)
Yep, the 25 1.4 C-Mount generic lens from Amazon sold by Rainbow Imaging. It is not a sharp lens, it is not made very well, it is tiny and yes, it is a C-mount lens that costs $29 and is a 25 1.4 lens that delivers softness, dreaminess and crazy Bokeh that some will find interesting and others will find not so interesting. To check out the lens at Amazon, click HERE. It comes with an adapter for Micro 4/3 so you will need the $10 Nikon 1 Adapter. So for $39 total you can add a 25 1.4 lens to your stable, though like I said, it is cheaply made, very soft and on the Nikon 1, can only be used in full manual mode which means manual focus, manual aperture and manual shutter speed. It's not a lens for those that want speed and convenience, it is for those who like to take an artsy shot every now and again.
C-Mount lenses are made for TV cameras and are known to be TINY but FAST in aperture. In fact, you can buy new high quality C-Mount lenses at B&H Photo. They even sell a 25 0.95 but it goes for $1500. Using a C-Mount to Nikon 1 adapter that you can BUY HERE at Amazon for $10 you can mount a C-Mount lens to your Nikon 1 camera. Not all C-Mount lenses will work well but when looking you need to find one that is made for 16mm. This will then cover the Nikon 1 imaging sensor. Many Nikon 1 users are expirimenting with such lenses as are Micro 4/3 owners. These lenses work very well on these smaller sensor cameras. When I say "very well" I mean, they work..but the results will be crazy in many situations, and some will be beautiful. All depends on the eye of the beholder.
So for those Nikon 1 shooters who do not want to spend $900 on the 32 1.2, which will give you sharpness, light gathering, 85mm equivalent and a fast aperture with plenty of Bokeh, for $40 you can have a tiny setup that will give you plenty of (crazy) bokeh BUT NOT SO MUCH Sharpness, not so good of build and a lens that will not focus to infinity :) Still, when I saw this I had to try it so I could pass along the results here. For a $40 investment, the results are not bad at all! In fact, they do indeed look like some of the results I get from the full frame Leica M with really old 50mm glass.
Wrap up: The lens is available at Amazon HERE, and is prime eligible for $29 and it comes with a Micro 4/3 adapter so you can use it on your Micro 4/3 camera. Amazon prime members even get free 2 day ship! The Nikon 1 adapter needed for use on a Nikon 1 camera is also Prime eligible and is HERE. If anyone buys this set for use on the Nikon 1, you must put the camera into manual mode for it to work, otherwise you will get the warning message on the screen that a lens needs to be attached. So manual aperture, shutter speed and focus. Once you have your meter set, it is as easy as pie to use. I'll add more images to the Nikon 1 gallery as I get them.
Have fun!

There is a nice article about this lens with the V1 with photo samples here: Review: 25mm f/1.4 C-Mount lens – http://bigstreetguns.com/2014/06/review-25mm-f1-4-c-mount-lens/
Have Nikon 1V1 the same infinity focus problem with old lenses as DSLR?
Gave it a try and after all was in M the video really looks great. Picture exposure though is entirely guesswork, as there is no exposure indication at all. How are you doing that?
Can anyone help me? I am looking for someway to attach a ring flash to the Nikon 1 system. Has anyone seen any 3rd party hot shoe adaptors?
What's the filter size for this lens?
The problem is that the Nikon 1 cameras don't provide any focusing aid (such as display magnification) for non-electronically coupled, adapted lenses – which includes c-mount lenses. What is the trick to focus with such lenses without having to do guesswork?
Just got the lens and adapter today. I'm not getting as shallow of DOF as your samples. Scratching my head. Closest focus distance seems to be 7-8 feet.
Heii, is that an standart hotshoe on the V1?
I want that 25mm lens look :D is there anything like that for such a price for Canon?
puh, guess not. well, i mean you COULD use a c mount adapter and crop the image afterwards. but for APS-C or FF sensor size, its just… too small!
Hi Steve,
I'm not trying to post negative comments for the fun of it, but I'm a little surprised that you like that grip for the V1, or for that matter ANY grip. I would have thought you didn't like grips and preferred a more rangefinder style when it comes to handling? I really like the look of the V1 but that grip just makes it look like a frankenstein camera.
I personally like a bit of a grip, and the Richard Franiec grip for the V1 is so much better in my opinion for keeping the camera looking sexy and serving the function of better grip. It very closely matches the finish of the body and has nice contours. It actually looks like it's part of the camera onces fitted which is more than can be said about the grip shown above.
Have a look here for a good photo angle:
Anyway, I'm loving my V1 which is hard for me to say sometimes because I have been shooting with Canon digitals for 10 years now. There seems to be a rivalry between these two companies but I stay away from brand snobbery and just enjoy a good camera when it's a good camera.
The art of photography!!!
Steve, this is the best answer for those who continued to fire as if ONLY their (Leica) gear is the best.
The most fun comment is the one stating that the people fooled believing that the shots were made with Leicas are clearly "non-Leica users"… like Ashwin Rao, I suppose… ;)
Another blow to "perceived greatness". That is, in fact, PERCEIVED.
I am relatively new to photography and don't know much, especially not as as many others on here do (and especially when it comes to older gear), but I can say that I am not surprised that this picture was taken with a cheap lens (or maybe an old leica, because I have little knowledge about them, but I know they had 'interesting' swirly bokeh). I think it was very obvious but the messy bokeh and the swirl toward the edges of the image. It has taught me to take reviews and comments I read about cameras and lenses with a grain of salt because obviously some people are just blind, regardless of experience or how much they spend on gear.
Got me too! hehe
Steve, I mean this with all due respect – Will you and other bloggers please stop posting about the V1 we all laughed at when released as I too am in danger of going out and buying one and I can't really afford to.
Haha – nicely done! :) Yes, I think we often focus too much on sensor size and aperture when we think about creating bokeh, and forget the other factors including the very important effect of (equiv.) focal length.
In cases of extreme bokeh it can be hard to tell which combo created it when you don't know any of the the variables (sensor size, focal length, aperture). If we had known the sensor size I think we'd stand a better chance of guessing the lens for example. But that's not what this test was about. So nice work!
I should have guessed it, as I have the same or similar combo (pic here with the V1 and cheap 25mm 1.4 which I used for 'proof of concept' in consideration of getting perhaps some better 16mm glass such as Kert Switar)
"I wanted to take a new Caturday shot last week, but I had a really bad cold that just completely wiped me out for the past few days. This is a shot taken about a month ago using the Nikon V1. The Nikon1 is a great mirror-less camera, but many people were disappointed with Nikon's decision to go with a relatively small sensor. At 1″ the sensor is smaller than the Micro 4/3 sensors, and stands in-between that of a compact camera and Micro 4/3 camera.
Question: can such a small 1″ sensor produce a sufficient, shallow DoF and nice bokeh at non-macro and non-tele distances (ie. 'normal' or 'portrait' FoV ranges)?
Test: Nikon V1 with adapted CCTV 25mm f1.4 (a slightly long eqiv, but still not a bad FoV)
Result: I think the DoF and Bokeh are quite nice. And this is a *very* cheap lens. Will be good when Nikon finally comes out with some f1.4 glass of their own."
I'm completely bowled over by my v1. Reminds me of the thrill I got first taking photographs. Just ordered one of these lenses…love the look and feel. If you had posted these beautiful images and said they were from an m with vintage Leica glass, people would be falling over themselves. A cheap lens on a small sensor (now cheap) camera and some gear snobs seem to think they don't count. Shame. Shoot a v1 and fall in love with photography again.
I was convinced that it was that new nineteenth centurary pretzel lens that Lomo have just kick started…
V1 is the new LOMO but Better!
Genius, Steve, pure evil genius!!
This is your best post ever. This little twisted treat you played on us has rendered the whole "3D-pop-style-creamy-bokeh" Leicaholic crowd into sheer rubbish.
Thanks a very big lot!
Well done on a very disruptive and challenging post Steve. Nice way to shake things up.
Got my V1 after reading about it on this site.
Hi Steve!
Thanks a lot for this post!
I am a Nikon V1 shooter and just love it!
I tried to order the lens via your amazon link, but unfortunately this item is not shipping to Germany.
Kinda weird in the year 2013…
Other c-mount offers here in Germany I found are far more expensive. Too bad!
Anyway thanks for this valuable post!
Try Amazon Germany, while the names of the lenses and adaters are a bit different, seems to me like the same things. Haven't tried though, but tempted myself.
People got to be kidding here. The fact many people said it's a Leica with a Noctilux or whatever just show most of non-Leica users cannot really tell the real quality of this equipment. It doesn't mean Leica equipment doesn't have any real quality to it.
What this lens does for being so bright and cheap is amazing but One just need to check ultra low corner sharpness, very low center sharpness, and the very ugly bokeh to know that this is not One can wait from a Leica lens. Even my 1960 Elmar F2.8 is and outstanding performer worlds ahead from this.
Got the camera. Not the lens. There are a lot of 0.95 film style lenses around though — like the SLR magic and some of the Voightlanders.
It was NOT a Lux. I clearly did not go downmarket far enough. :-(
The last shot of the dog is awesome.
Ah Steve, the "positive" brigade was eager to please, as ever, with its references to Leicas. All that was missing were many references to it as a fantastic and terrific shot :-) .
Anyway, it's a fun thing to do; I know evaluation of small file images by monitor screens is not all that reliable, and Leica lenses are hard to beat, but two lens quizzes (names supplied but not labels) at the end of each week could be quite a feature..
LOL, so where are all the M240 and Noctilux voters. I guess it is the same crowd who swears that Leicas produce a unique 3D rendering.
Even Ashwin Rao, one of the most prolific posters here who apparently owns and knows a lot about all things Leica predicted "M and summarit 50 mm f/1.5 LTM"
shows us one more time that we pay too much attention to technical stuff and not *klick*
Nicely done, Steve. LOL! Btw, the images look plenty sharp to me. The things you focused on look sharp anyway. With this lens, the sharpness of the rest of the shot doesn't matter.
the shots with the tree foliage make my stomach physically churn (it's in the stomach of the beholder), but I do like the other examples were the swirl is not pronounced.
I know the answer is the new camera NSA & PRISM by Obama 1.2 . That camera wil see every detail . :)
Steven, while looking for this on eBay, I discovered an adapter Nikon 1 to M42, which will allow me to use my beloved (and inherited) Auto Chinon lenes with the V1. Can you tell us how manual focus works, with a lens like that? Is it just like when you select manual focus on the V1?
How can somebody say: it is a leica?. Leica has one of the best glasses if not THE best. You could see that the image was not that good. I knew it was one of the cheap lenses!
I was close :) it is not the 25mm switar…. but very close :)
Ey Steve,
Your enthusiasm on the V1 made me sell my NEX-6 and Minolta lenses and buy one too. Funny to see how many people said the photo above was from an expensive Leica lens. The lens reminds me of the SLR Magic 35 1.7 for the NEX and m4/3 systems. Though it can give some creative shots I don't like the crappy quality and feel of those lenses. But hey, 30 bucks… When the V1 with 10mm and 18.5mm arrives I will go out and shoot again. Lost that part with the NEX. I can't wait! Thanks Steve!
I had a V1 used all sorts of C mount ( for 16mm) glass on it but it had a strange UI so I sold it off.
Know that a 25mm on a V1 equals about a 70mm.
The lens's made for 16mm will have that swirly bokeh which is enchanting at first but drives you nuts soon after .
Haha, want to see the faces of the Noctilux voters…
I did it! I guessed it right!!! :) Except I said it was shot with either OM-D or NEX.
I LOVE this lens, I bought mine on Amazon and I actually shot with it today. Here is one example straight from my OM-D. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=581499195204011&set=pb.100000318086314.-2207520000.1374956779.&type=3&theater
The only thing I am bummed about it is, well, actually not the lens but the OM-D not being able to go faster than 1/4000 sec. Love the lens though!!
That bokeh is nauseating, but that lens could be fun to play around with for that price!
Creativity trumps technology! Thanks for trying something with no expectations of what the end result might be, and proving this point.
You know what Steve? I think your "web preparation" for the images you post is very nice, all the lenses you use always seem accettably sharp.. btw nice post! :)
Haha, fun to see what that really was! I'm surprised!
Well done, it' s not the camera, it' s the one behind it that sees and creates the picture. And in this case with a Nikon V1 and a TV lens. You make me think about my Leica obsession…….
Hilarious! Really does prove that obsession with gear is pointless and you "just" have to create great photos with anything. Bravo, Mr Huff!

Hey guys,
I've been lurking for a while now, but I think it's finally time for a first post. Naturally, it's about a bike I'm looking to buy. Until now, I've been riding an '03 Allez 24, but it's a bit too small for me. It's an entry level model, but it does the job quite well for my needs other than the size. I was thinking about going vintage for my next bike as I don't have a ton of money to spend, and I liked the idea of going back to steel, but I know I'd start to miss the brifters after a while and would end up upgrading to a set anyways. I mainly use my bike for commuting, leisure and a few longer rides (40-50 miles) every now and then.
Back to the point: There's a local 2000 Jamis Nova on craigslist for $320 that I find very interesting, both because it looks like a better fit, the versatility of the cyclocross and that it meets the rest of my criteria. From my searching, it appears everyone's very happy with their newer Jamis' but haven't been able to find any info or opinions of the 2000 model year, past what's on bikepedia. I obviously have to go check out the quality of the bike and test ride it, but if it's in good working order and condition, does the price point seem fair? Thanks for any help!

Mistress of Suspense: Actress hopes to bring wife of Hitchcock out of his shadow with role
NEW YORK — Even 32 years after his death, the name Alfred Hitchcock casts a long shadow in the world of film. And well hidden in that shadow was a tiny, fiercely intelligent woman named Alma Reville, who by all accounts was that time-honored great woman behind the great man.
So, it's the fervent hope of Oscar-winning star Helen Mirren ("The Queen") that with the release of "Hitchcock," director Sasha Gervasi's droll, slice-of-life biopic, Reville, the uncelebrated wife, confidante and silent collaborator of the celebrated "Master of Suspense," will finally get to come out from the shadows.
Reville was an up-and-coming young film editor in 1926 London when she met and married the fledgling director Hitchcock. Over the next 54 years (he died in 1980, she two years later), she played a critical role in his career as his largely uncredited script editor, creative partner, nursemaid and power behind the throne on each of his films. It was famously said that the highest compliment Hitch could render of a potential film project was, "Alma liked it."
"Hitchcock" focuses on the period of Hitch and Alma's life when the renowned director was casting around in 1959 looking for a new challenge after the success of "North By Northwest" and decided against stern studio resistance to gamble on a self-financed production of the macabre horror story "Psycho." Despite her misgivings, Alma proved to be a key player in groundbreaking techniques that made the picture one of Hitchcock's greatest triumphs.
The statuesque Mirren portrays this unsung heroine of Hitchcock's life and career with a steely blend of toughness and compassion, but she said during press interviews hosted by Fox Searchlight at Le Parker Meridien Hotel that getting a handle on the role proved to be a challenge. Since there is no surviving film footage of Reville, Mirren said she had little to go on in researching the physical presence of her character.
"My great sadness is that she was tiny," Mirren said. "Alma Reville was under five foot, and this tiny, birdlike woman with this huge, monumental man, I just loved that image. She was the only one who could control him — this fierce, energetic, amazing little woman. And I couldn't do that because I'm not little. I couldn't even attempt to go there, so I had to try and get it in another way.
"But my way in was the book her daughter wrote," Mirren said. "Patricia Hitchcock wanted to call her book 'Alma Reville,' but, of course, the publishers wound up calling it 'Alma Hitchcock: The Woman Behind the Man.' That was my main resource, and I tried to get to Alma through what I learned in that book — her love of Hitch and her love of film."
Many contributions
The British actress said she also was touched by Reville's determined willingness to remain in the considerable shadow of her imperious husband. Among Reville's uncredited contributions to "Psycho" were helping persuade the reluctant Hitchcock to use Bernard Herrmann's slashing string score during the infamous shower scene and catching a crucial error in the final shot of that scene in which Janet Leigh's presumed corpse was seen to blink slightly.
"Film scholars are well aware of the contributions Alma made to the creation of some of Hitch's masterworks," Mirren said. "But I wanted to present on screen someone that the general public would believe had the ability to truly work side-by-side with this incredible filmmaker."
Additionally, as the wife of a famed director herself (she's been married to Taylor Hackford — of "An Officer and a Gentleman" fame — since 1997), Mirren said she knows firsthand some of the trials of ego that Reville endured.
"I knew there were all these people in Hollywood trying to get to the great and glorious Alfred Hitchcock," she said. "And I knew what that feels like because that happened to me with my husband when I first came here. I had a freedom with Alma to not attempt any kind of interpretation and to just let her be who she is in the story."
Lasting images
While Alma Reville again plays a supporting role in this breezy biopic, Mirren said she's pleased with the depiction of the couple's relationship.
"This is a love story," she said. "I think Alma and Hitch were, in their own funny, unglamorous way, a great kind of Romeo and Juliet partnership. They were amazing partners in life, and I think they could teach us all something about how to make a successful marriage."
On film, the other half of that marriage partnership is played in a juicy performance by Sir Anthony Hopkins, virtually buried beneath layers of latex padding and makeup. Mirren (who noted this is the first time they've acted together) marveled at the daily transformation "from Tony to Hitch."
"In a weird way, Tony, in my mind, became Hitch," Mirren said. "I hated to see him take his face off. At the end of the day he would just rip it off, because he was so sick of it. But I hated that because I'd come to believe him as Hitchcock. So he'd take off the mask, and it was like, 'Who is that? Why, that's the famous actor Tony Hopkins.'"

Winter -- More Things to Consider
Posted: January 20, 2012
By Jessica R. Bussard
M.S. Candidate in Crop Science, Plant and Soil Sciences Department, University of Kentucky, Penn State University, Animal Science Alumnus
Lower winter temperatures cause an increase in horses' dietary energy requirements as it takes more energy to maintain body heat. Because of this, owners should consider whether or not it is necessary to adjust their horse's feeding program to compensate for their increased energy needs. Energy needs can increase by as much as 10-25% during colder weather. Providing roughage in the form of quality forage will help with this as a large amount of heat is generated during the digestion process. Along with quality forage, be sure to offer a mineral and salt supplement.
Depending on what area of the country horse owners live in, they may want to consider blanketing their horses. Whether or not to blanket your horse depends on several factors: climate, riding schedule, horse's ability to grow a sufficient winter coat, and age-related "thermostat problems." By providing an extra layer of warmth the horse's energy requirement to maintain body heat is reduced slightly allowing for better maintenance of body condition.
If blanketing is an option, horse owners should be sure to purchase a blanket that is the correct fit for their horse. If unsure what size is needed, a measurement from the center of the chest to the point of the rump where the blanket ends will help determine the correct size. The right size and fit will ensure that the horse is comfortable and free from chaffing and irritation.
For horses shod throughout the winter, in regions that snow is prevalent, snow may pack into horse's hooves making it difficult to walk. This snow packing is caused by the snow's affinity to stick to the inner rim of the metal shoe and freeze causing snowballs to form. But with the advent of the snow pad and rim pad, this problem can be averted. These pads are specially designed to prevent snow pack in hooves.
Riding in winter can sometimes be a challenge. If an intense and frequent exercise schedule remains part of a horse's life during the winter months special precautions should be made to make sure the horse is properly cooled down to prevent chill. Clipping horses to allow quicker cool down in winter after workouts is one method, but because of reduced insulation these horses must be stalled and blanketed to stay warm. Use of a quarter-blanket beneath the saddle to wick sweat and prevent chill can also be helpful. Quarter blankets cover the hindquarters and are usually made of a fleece or wool. Leg straps keep the blankets in place.
One last important thing to be aware of is that your customers' horses are vaccinated against high-risk diseases and on a regular deworming schedule going into winter. Horses are at higher risk for respiratory diseases going into winter. Consult a veterinarian to find out the major diseases to vaccinate for in your area.
These tips were just a few of the vast list of things horse owners should consider as winter approaches. For a more extensive list of considerations contact your veterinarian, farrier, or local equine extension agent. By ensuring that horses are happy and healthy during the winter months, you and your customers will both be able to make it through the winter a little easier.

Thank you for all members
What are the main approaches we collectively see as most important?
The main approaches are collectively as most important is: -
1 – Estimation a gap between productivity of the varieties under experimental research, demonstration fields and farmer conditions.
2 – The range of available suitable practical recommendations that can more effectively.
3 – The range of responses of farmers for these recommendations.
4 – The range of development recommendations with climatic exchange for over come of this exchange.
5 – Available suitable practical recommendations which easily application under farmers condition with law cost.
What are some practical recommendations that can more effectively promote, support, and guarantee the integration of nutrition into agriculture and food security investments?
Some practical recommendations that can more effectively promote, support, and guarantee the integration of nutrition into agriculture and food security investments: -
1 – Integrated pest and weed management by application more methods for over come pest and weeds control such as: -
A - Crops rotations. B - Seed bed preparation. C - Sowing resistance varieties.
D - Sowing recommendations numbers of plant/ unite area.
E - Application the recommendations fertilizer.
F - Sowing some crops have allelopathy effect on weeds in crop sequence with crop rotations.
G – Application technical recommendations pesticide or herbicide.
By followed integrated pest or weed control can be increased quality and quantity of productivity without environmental pollutions, for example: -
Effect of tillage systems sequence and some weed control treatments on some field crops
Two field experiments were conducted in clay soil at Sids Agricultural Research Station, to asses the role of tillage and weed control treatments on weed management through 2- year crop rotation in the period from 2003 to 2006. The first experiment was conducted to study the effect of three tillage systems i.e. to use mouldboard followed by rotary plow, chisel plow three passes followed by rotary plow and chisel plow two passes where these treatments were applied repeatedly every season through four summer and winter seasons in the same plot of every treatment three sub plots weed control treatments (pendimethalin, hand-hoeing and weed check) were distributed to study their effects on weeds and productivity of the different in the rotation. Results showed that increasing tillage by combining mouldboard or chisel plowing with rotary plowing decreased the total weeds biomass/m² by 29.2 and 38.5% and increased seed yield of faba bean by 12.7 and 10.3% than chisel plowing only in 2003/04 season and the respective values during 2004/05 season were 38.2 and 32.8% for weed biomass reduction and 25.8 and 3.2% for seed yield. Similar trends were obtained with the effect of tillage systems on weeds and yield of both maize and soybean. On the other hand , repeating tillage operations seasonally in faba bean decreased total weed biomass/m² by 34.0 , 17.6 and 24.5% in the third season compared to the first season with mouldboard rotary, chisel with rotary and chisel only in the same respective order. Pendimethalin or hand-hoeing resulted in significant decrease in the total weeds of all studied crops accompanied with significant increases in their yields.
The second experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of tillage systems on the control of orobanche management in faba bean. Similar trends were obtained emphasizing that increasing tillage operation by combining mouldboard rotary plowing or chisel plowing with rotary plowing succeeded in reducing orobanche biomass/m² by 23.3 and 18.2% in 2003/04 season and by 41.4 and 33.4% in second season compared to chisel plowing only and causing increases ranged from the 4.0 to 20.2% of faba bean yield. Imazapic or hand weeding show also significant control of orobanche accompanied withsignificant increase in faba bean yield productivity. The role of tillage on controlling weeds may be attributed to the role of rotary or mould plowing in burying great proportion of weed seeds including orobanche to depths preventing germination of such seeds. The effect of various possible integration between both tillage and weed control methods were discussed emphasizing the importance of this integration on weed management tactics in studied crops. Other effects of studied factors on weeds or yield components were also recorded.
2 – Increased the area sowing of food plants.
3 – Increased quality of food artificial.
What research is needed?
The research needed is: - The important research which concentration on breading and improvement traits high yields, resistance of pest and disease, parasitic weeds and climatic exchange. Integrated pest and weed control.

Hope for Brady Blog Train
Guess what? April is Autism Awareness month! As most of you know by now, I have two little boys with autism. They are all kinds of wonderful, but they have several delays and need therapies to help them along. We have been very lucky and have been able to get the therapies and other help that our boys need, but there are lots of families out there who need a little help. Michelle of 4MyBabies Scraps started a blog train to help raise funds to donate to the Son Rise Program, to help children with autism, and I am happy to participate in the blog train this year.
You can start the blog train HERE, if you haven't already. Otherwise, you should be coming to my blog from Kamilla Design.
Here's is my contribution, a set of 10 happy doodles! Just click the image to download.

Hello Again & Christmas Tags
Well, I had planned to take the summer off to enjoy with my family and ended up taking autumn off, too! We had a great time, though, and now the kids are back in school, Thanksgiving is over (Boohoo! It's my favorite holiday of the year!), and Christmas is fast approaching. Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet? I'm about halfway done with mine.
This year my kids know about Christmas. Last year they were vaguely aware of it, but it wasn't a big deal. This year it's a big deal and they know about presents now, too! Speaking of presents, I made some printable gift tags. Just click the image to download.
Hope you're having a great season!

Birthday & Freebie Friday
Autism Awareness Day
As some of you may know, I have twin boys. This is Luke.
He is loud and crazy and roll-around-in-the-dirt fun. He has more energy than 10 puppies and the strength of a gorilla. He LOVES anything by Disney/Pixar and is attached by the fingertips to my iPod Touch. His favorite food is white cheddar rice cakes (I know he didn't get that from me! lol) and he has a frighteningly deep obsession with 20th Century Fox (the logo! the fanfare! the searchlights! oh my!).
This is my other son, Adam.
Adam is sweet and gentle and loves anything with wheels. He is very concerned with everyone's feelings and is so empathic that he cries whenever anyone else is sad or upset. He LOVES the Wonder Pets and his favorite "character" is the Fly Boat. LOL
I just wanted to take a minute and show off my boys – both of whom are dealing with the challenges of autism, but are otherwise normal, healthy, lovely children. Autism is quite prevalent these days and most people know someone who is autistic or has an autistic child. Jodi and I made this kit to celebrate those people/kids/families. We're giving it away FREE and we made the colors slightly more useable than the usual primary-colored autism kits so that you'll be able to use it to scrap all kinds of things!
Just click the links below to download my part of the kit, then head over to Jodi's blog to get her part.
Thank you super-duper-extra-much to Jodi's creative team for the beautiful layouts!

Freebie Friday: Sentiment
Freebie Friday: Somewhere Over the Rainbow
I don't know why, but I've had rainbows on the brain lately. Then this morning I came across this video and just completely fell in love with it!
That really, really made me homesick for Hawaii!
Anyway, it also made me think about doing a rainbow for St Patrick's Day, so that's what today's freebie is. Hope you enjoy, just click to download.
Have a great weekend!
Freebie Friday: The Sun Will Come Out
I know… it's Sunday. lol I'm a little behind this week!
I'm really looking forward to tomorrow; I think Mondays are my most favorite day of the week. Am I the only one? Mondays are nice because I'm able to get back on schedule, send the kids and husband off to school, clean up the weekend clutter, and spend some time with myself. Mostly I just work (have I mentioned how much I love my job?), but sometimes if I have time I read and those are the best days of all!
This last week my whole family was sick and I was still healing my sprained wrist, so it was kind of a hard week around here, but everyone is well now and my wrist is good as new so I am a very happy camper! I think this week's freebie is an appropriate one.

They warn that employees who forgo necessary care now could end up costing their employers more later, in both additional health care expenditures and increased absenteeism, should a serious health threat go untreated or a chronic condition get worse.
Meanwhile, some employers are using incentives to ensure that their employees get the care they need at low or no cost.
With family budgets strained by higher fuel and food costs, U.S. residents are filling fewer prescriptions and visiting the doctor less often, researchers say.
IMS Health Inc., a health care analytics firm based in Norwalk, Connecticut, this summer recorded the first decline in prescriptions issued since 1996. The number of prescriptions dispensed in the second quarter of this year fell almost 2 percent from a year earlier. That followed a 0.5 percent drop in the first quarter, the first time that number has been negative since 1996, IMS Health said. It also found that doctor visits dropped 1.2 percent for the 12-month period ending in July.
Although the number of prescriptions was down, the dollar value of drug sales still posted modest growth of 1.4 percent, rising to $288 billion in June from a year earlier, IMS Health said. Still, sales growth has slid dramatically from late 2006, when annual prescription sales growth approached 12 percent.
In a survey fielded in July, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners found that 22 percent of consumers have reduced the number of times they see the doctor and 11 percent have cut back the number of prescription drugs they take or reduced the dosage of those medications to make prescriptions last longer.
Watson Wyatt Worldwide's forthcoming "2008 Employee Perspectives on Health Care" survey, which was conducted in May and June, found that 40 percent of workers went to the doctor only for more serious conditions, up from 35 percent the year before, and that 17 percent did not fill or skipped doses of prescribed medications, up from 13 percent in 2007.
Although it will be a while before any trends are reflected in employers' benefit plan spending, benefit consultants have begun advising employers to be aware of the phenomenon and its potential ramifications.
"I think employers have been so preoccupied about the economy in general from a business perspective that they may not realize the implications of employees' self-imposed cuts in health care utilization," says Jennifer Boehm, a principal in Hewitt Associates' health management practice who is based in Atlanta.
"When people are worried about fuel costs and food costs and about whether they'll have a job tomorrow, they may reduce their prescription drug intake, particularly those drugs that don't have a symptom-relieving effect," Boehm says. "What you don't want to have happen is to have folks stop taking their meds or taking them in a way that's not effective and then end up in the emergency room or developing more serious conditions later on."
Jodi Prohofsky, senior vice president for health solutions operations at Cigna Corp. in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, says she's already starting to notice an uptick in the use of emergency room services by individuals with chronic conditions.
"Their choice is, `I either have to put gas in my car, food on my table, or take my pills.' We're going to see them choose not to take their pills, pill splitting or other things, such as not going for routine doctor visits. And then we'll see them in the emergency room," she says.
Employers must be vigilant, says Tracey Moorhead, president and CEO of the Washington-based DMAA: The Care Continuum Alliance, formerly the Disease Management Association of America.
If not, "we're going to see a decline in health status across the population," Moorhead says. "While some forms of belt-tightening make sense in tough economic times—dining out less often or car-pooling—we can't afford to extend cost-cutting to medical care, especially for people with chronic conditions."
After reading news reports on the reduction in health care spending nationwide, Andy Gold, executive director of global benefits planning at Pitney Bowes Inc. in Stamford, Connecticut, asked the company's pharmacy benefit manager to track prescription compliance. The company also sent notices to employees reminding them of resources available should they consider forgoing necessary health care to save money.
"We're reminding people to use their health plan. We reminded them they can use their [flexible spending account] to pay for health care-related expenses. We reminded them about the importance of adhering to maintenance medication," Gold says.
Since the economic slump happens to coincide with open enrollment, EMC Corp. also is promoting its flexible spending account, says Delia Vetter, senior director of benefits and programs for the information technology company, which is based in Hopkinton, Massachusetts. "In times like these, the FSA becomes a financially advantageous tool to mitigate out-of-pocket costs" by allowing employees to pay for health care expenses on a pretax basis, she says.
John Garner, CEO of Garner Consulting, based in Pasadena, California, says several of his employer clients are changing their health plans to ensure that their employees get essential care in the current economic climate.
"One client waived all co-payments on preventive services," Garner says. "Another client is waiving co-payments for insulin and diabetic supplies [and] another client modified its plan to cover some of the newer immunizations."
The intent of this strategy, known as value-based insurance design, is to ensure continued access to care for plan members who can't afford it but need it the most.
Hoping to relieve some of the pressure on its employees' pocketbooks, Pitney Bowes is adding several drugs to its existing value-based insurance design program in 2009, Gold says.
Mark Fendrick, co-director of the University of Michigan's Center for Value Based Insurance Design in Ann Arbor, hopes that value-based insurance designs will be more widely adopted. Since they remove or reduce patient copayments for high-value services, broader use of the plans could mean that "even in tough economic circumstances, individuals will have unfettered access to essential medical services."

Orford shines as Storm crush
Melbourne Storm half back Matt Orford has inspired his side to a comprehensive 34-6 victory over St George Illawarra Dragons at Olympic Park this afternoon.
With a stiff breeze at their backs in the first half, the Dragons battled for field position and possession and conceded the first try after just eight minutes.
Saints struck back with a try to centre Matt Cooper (14th minute) and a penalty goal (26th minute) but this was the final time the visitors would trouble the scoreboard.
With Orford and Scott Hill directing proceedings, winger Steve Turner scored the first of his two tries and the Storm continued their momentum. At half time they held a handy 12-6 lead.
Melbourne broke through again in the 63rd minute with an excellent try to Dustin Cooper in the corner. After that, the floodgates opened with tries to Ben MacDougall (66th minute), Turner (69th minute) and Orford picking up a well deserved try a few minutes before fulltime.
With all the Storm forwards dominating the ruck, there was little opportunity for an ill-disciplined Dragons side who were on the receiving end of a 13-6 penalty count and managed less than 40% possession.
Ground: Olympic Park Melbourne Referee: Paul Simpkins Video Referee: Sean Hampstead Touch Judges: Rod Lawrence, Paul Holland
Scorers: STORM 34 Tries: Turner 2, King, D Cooper, MacDougall, Orford Goals: Smith 4/6, D Cooper 1/1 defeated DRAGONS 6 Tries: M Cooper Goals: Riddell 1/2

5 min: Storm attacking early and with numbers close to the line, but bundled into touch when going the short side.
8 min: TRY - Storm. Matt King scores after repeat sets of six. Melbourne winning the play around the ruck and Saints defence looking soft. Conversion Cameron Smith 10m from posts is successful. Storm 6-0
12 min: NO TRY. Matt Orford (Storm) orchestrating play loses control of the ball over the line. A let-off for Saints.
13 min: NEWS - Alex Chan (Storm) on report for high shot on Ryan Powell (Dragons).
14 min: TRY - Dragons. Matt Cooper powers through to score out wide. Storm caught napping after penalty. Conversion attempt Mark Riddell is unsuccessful. Storm 6-4

38 min: TRY - Storm. Steve Turner scores in the corner after an Orford kick deflects off a Saints player and bounces up perfectly for David Kidwell, who finds Turner in support. Conversion Smith unsuccessful. Storm 12-6
HALF TIME: The Storm finishing the first half all over the Dragons. With the breeze against them in the second half, its going to be tough going for Saints. The Storm definitely the better side in the first half and should be further ahead.
For Dragons, Matt Cooper and Ben Hornby are standouts while Trent Barrett looks to be favouring his knee and was standing on the wing late in the second half. For the Storm its Matt Orford and Scott Hill who are combining well and causing plenty of strife just wide of the ruck.
45 min: Saints on the attack early but the Storm defence holds.
50 min: PENALTY GOAL - Storm. Smith slots a difficult one 11 metres in from touch. Follows a penalty against Reece Simmonds for stripping the ball. Storm 14-6

69 min: TRY - Storm. Steve Turner scores out wide. Follows tremendous run from Ben MacDougall. Storm making it look easy. Conversion Smith unsuccessful. Storm 28-6
70 min: NEWS - Dean Young (Dragons) on report for head slam on Rodney Howe (Storm).
76 min: TRY - Storm. Matt Orford gets a well deserved try having ripped the Dragons to shreds today. Conversion Dustin Cooper. Storm 34-6
FULL TIME. Comprehensive victory to the home side with Orford head and shoulders above the rest. Some great returns from fullback Billy Slater and the outside backs. All the Melbourne forwards winning by knock out. For the Dragons, a few had a go but the less said the better. Telling stats: The Storm forwards dominating the ruck enabled the home side to enjoy over 60% possession. There was little opportunity for the Dragons who were often their own worst enemy and on the receiving end of a 13-6 penalty count. You can't win without the ball.

At a meeting of an Association of Regular Baptists, held in the town of Owensville, Ind., September 14, 1885, one of the ministers of said Association stated publicly, "Christian people need not trouble themselves about Foreign Missions; when the Lord gets ready, in his own good time, he will attend to them." This induced the publication of the following in the Gibson County Leader, October 14, 1885:
"Even today, in the light of the wonderful triumphs of the gospel work in the Foreign field, among the many thousands of gospel ministers there are a few here and there that oppose this work as unscriptural, and hence of man and not of God. Therefore, in view of these facts, for the sake of gospel truth and gospel work, and the honor of the blessed Saviour, I make the following challenge: That I will meet, in joint discussion, any ordained minister of the gospel, indorsed by the denomination to which he belongs as a representative man and of good character, in Owensville, Ind., upon the following proposition: Resolved, That the gospel work carried on by the different denominations of the Protestant world in heathen lands or foreign countries, known as the Foreign Mission work, is authorized in the Holy Scriptures and is blessed and owned of God."
"H. CLAY YATES."OWENSVILLE, IND., October 9, 1885."
This was answered by the Rev. Lemuel Potter, of Cynthiana, Ind., a minister in the Regular Baptist Church. Subsequent negotiations led to arrangements for a joint discussion, as embodied in the following regulations:
1. The debate shall commence December 14, 1885, and continue six days.2. It shall be held in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Owensville, Ind.3. Rev. W. J. Darby, of Evansville, Ind., shall be Moderator for Rev. H. Clay Yates, and Rev. Benjamin Lampton, of Kentucky, shall be Moderator for Rev. Lemuel Potter.4. In discussing the question at issue, Rev. H. Clay Yates will assume the affirmative, and Rev. Lemuel Putter the negative.5. The debate shall occur four hours each day, viz., from 10 AM. to 12 M., and from 2 P.M. to 4 P.M. In the forenoon each debater shall make one speech, an hour in length, and in the afternoon each shall have two speeches, thirty minutes in length.6. The speeches shall be published in book form as taken down by a stenographer. As Rev. H. Clay Yates bears the expense of publication, he shall have the ownership of the book and receive all the proceeds from sale of the same.7. Each debater shall select one person, and the two jointly shall constitute an Auditing Committee, who shall see that in revising the manuscript the debaters do not make any verbal or grammatical changes in the stenographers report that shall alter the state of the argument or change any fact.
Much interest was manifested in the approaching discussion, and at the appointed time a very large congregation was present. The exercises were opened with prayer, after which the Moderators read the endorsements of the debaters, as follows:
"The undersigned ministers and members of Indiana Presbytery of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, hereby indorse Rev. H. Clay Yates as a minister in good standing in said Presbytery, and as a man competent to defend the doctrines and usages of said Church. We especially commend him as worthy to represent the ministry of said Church in defense of its policy in the work of Foreign Missions, as also the cause of Foreign Missions in general."W. J. DARBY, M. L. GALLOWAY,"J. E. JENKINS, M. E. CHAPPELL, "W. B. CRAWFORD, THOMAS WALKER."
We, the undersigned ministers, members of the Southern Indiana Christian Conference, consider Rev. H. Clay Yates in every respect highly qualified and able to establish the common Christian doctrine that sending the gospel to the heathen is Scriptural and ordained of God."M. G. COLLINS,"D. M. SHOEMAKER."
"OWENSVLLE, IND., Dec. 14, 1885.
"We, the undersigned elders of the Regular Baptist Church, do certify that we indorse Elder Lemuel Potter as a Christian minister of the gospel, and that in the pending debate, to begin today, between him and Rev. H. Clay Yates, of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, we indorse him as a representative man, in whose hands we are willing to risk our cause."JOSIAH HUME, BENJ. LAMPTON,"SIMON REEDER, ARCHIE BROWN,"JAMES STRICKLAND."
Endorsements of Rev. H. Clay Yates by the officers of Bethel and Fort Branch congregations, Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and New Liberty Christian Church, were read; also, endorsements of Rev. Lemuel Potter by the Salem and Big Creek Regular Baptist Churches.
It was agreed that the debaters should be governed by the rules laid down in Hedge's Logic, as follows:1. The terms in which the question in debate is expressed, and the point at issue, should be clearly defined, that there could be no misunderstanding respecting them.2. The parties should mutually consider each other as standing on a footing of equality in respect to the subject in debate. Each should regard the other as possessing equal talents, knowledge and a desire for truth with himself, and that, it is possible, therefore, that he may be in the wrong and his adversary in the right.3. All expressions which are unmeaning, or without effect in regard to the subject in debate, should be strictly avoided.4. Personal reflections on an adversary should, in no instance, be indulged.5. The consequences of any doctrine are not to be charged on him who maintains it, unless he expressly avows them.6. As truth, and not victory, is the professed object of controversy, whatever proofs may be advanced on either side should be examined with fairness and candor; and any attempt to answer an adversary by arts of sophistry, or to lessen the force of his reasoning by wit, caviling, or ridicule, is a violation of the rules of honorable controversy.
In perfect keeping with the spirit of these regulations the debate proceeded from day today, the audiences augmenting until the close. As the debaters maintained the most cordial and agreeable relations with each other, so did their friends on either side. Not only did no "root of bitterness" spring up in consequence, but the members of the respective denominations seemed to be drawn closer together in feeling and spirit. Another gratifying result of the discussion is the earnest investigation that has been given to the subject throughout the entire community, and wherever its influence has extended.
What was said on this occasion now goes forth to a larger audience, accompanied with the earnest prayer that its publication may be for the glory of God, and that he would honor it among the means which he employs for the advancement of his kingdom on the earth.
The Primitive or Old School Baptists cling to the doctrines and practices held by Baptist Churches throughout America at the close of the Revolutionary War. This site is dedicated to providing access to our rich heritage, with both historic and contemporary writings.

Four at Once:
On August 22nd 1893: Four hurricanes were observed in the Atlantic Ocean at the same time. This record has been tied only once since then. One of those hurricanes in 1893 ended up killing between 1,000 and 2,000 people in Georgia and South Carolina. The second occurrence of four hurricanes simultaneously in the Atlantic basin occurred on September 25, 1998, when we had Georges, Ivan, Jeanne and Karl. Hurricane Georges hit Haiti killing thousands. (In 1971, from September the 10th to the 12th, we had five tropical storms at the same time but of these five tropical storms there were never more than two hurricanes at the same time.) Since statistically most hurricanes form in the month of September it is a bit surprising one of the occurrences of four hurricanes at once was in the month of August.
On August 22nd 1992: Hurricane Andrew developed a well defined eye 650 miles east of Miami with 95 mph winds. Andrew would hit the northwest Bahamas hard and then make landfall in just two days in south Florida and then make landfall a second time in Louisiana on the twenty six of August.
If no hurricanes develop the rest of this month it will be only the third time in recorded history with no hurricanes in the month of August. The last time this occurred was in august 1997.
On this date in 1888: Tornadoes struck the Chesapeake Bay area.


text: I haven't done a city in quite a while...since Snagglefjord, I think. So here we go and I even have a lil bit of story/description for it as well (coming later). So far it's just the terrain, obviously, and once I settle on a scale I'll start the tedium of putting buildings and roads down. This is to be a fortress/citadel type of city so there will be all of the usual accoutrements...walls, castle, huts, fields, etc. Still got some work to do on the rivers and overall blurriness of the terrain.

Federal government should heed Constitution
I agree with Graydon L. Persing (Your Views, Oct. 31). Our schools should reach out for copies of the Constitution and teach our children about what it stands for. My 14-year-old grandson has no idea what the Constitution is or what it says. The federal government has gotten too large. Out-of-control czars aren't the answer for a democratic society. They should be gotten rid of. This administration has continually lied to the people of the best nation in the world. Redistribution and class warfare are things of the past; the deficit needs to be taken care of promptly. The federal government doesn't need its hands in every program if the states can do a better job managing them. The need to repair our relations with friendly nations, specifically Israel, is a must.
Our children need to have trust in God, just as our nation does.

It definitely will be locked up. Either using a thin cable designed for saddles or the old chain and tube method
Pickdd up a kilo that had never been rode for 200 last weekend. Hate the hell out of the chrome though, anyone ever strip one? Not sure if it's gonna be too much of a hassle or not.
Dood, wipe your lens.
Two and a half year old phone thats been through hell and back. Thats as good as it gets.
Chrome Kilos are really pretty!
Why the top tube pad?
My lights run off a battery pack I keep in the saddle bag, so it holds it down and hides it better then some type of clamp.
Everything is still stock. I ride for fun so until the parts start to fail on me I won't replace them yet.
IMG_20130308_160318.jpgThis is my steed. Sorry for the Instagram pic. Thanks to this thread I got this beauty and have never been happier riding.
I love riding and....Hey Look, Shiny!
Thats the 47 and theyre stocked up with all the sizes now! It's a beauty in person. Can't beat the extra $50 for better parts either.
I love riding and....Hey Look, Shiny!
Too late, as I already had my white kilo for 3 weeks- but I love it
so the ungodly long stock stem has to go, I bought a shorter 90mm 1-1/8" dimension threadless. I thought I bought the right size shim for it, but it turns out Its too big etc. what size shim should I get?
go ahead and flame, I was never into math
First day assembled. I got it for $250 from BikeIsland(missing fork and crown race, hence the Nashbar Carbon). Will be going clipless in a few days.
Good lord that bike looks uncomfortable.

When do you expect do have the sessions listed on the site? Would be nice to be able to start planning.
There's already a thread talking about this.
In short, it most likely won't be until a day before.
Thanks for the reply. Missed that thread.
That's what I was afraid of, but it's not surprising.

My budget is:
A popular beach resort with a lot to offer: it's no wonder why Santa Ponsa is one of Majorca's best loved destinations.
Located in the south-west of Majorca, the largest island in the Balearics, Santa Ponsa is blessed with clear, calm water with beaches and villas tucked into the lush green hillside. With a pretty bay of sparkling water and year round warm weather, it's no wonder Majorca is one of the most popular destinations in the world. Santa Ponsa holidays in particular provide some of the greatest sights and experiences on the island.
Santa Ponsa is a mere 20 minutes away from the capital, Palma, making it an ideal base from which to explore all Majorca has to offer. There are many plush all inclusive resorts located very close to the bay of Santa Ponsa, where you can revel in the most luxurious rooms, private gardens and great pools, perfect for making a little splash in!
For a little more seclusion on your holiday to Santa Ponsa, stay in the area of El Toro, found only a short distance from the marina. From here you can enjoy views overlooking the boats in the port that bob upon the glittering Balearic Sea.

Our Emergency Medical response capabilities are structured into two tiers of service; Basic Life Support, and Advanced Life Support. Basic life support is delivered through a fleet of over forty ambulances, which are staffed and deployed in nearly all of our fire/rescue stations. Advanced life support is delivered primarily by 12 paramedic units, which are strategically deployed throughout the county. These units are comprised of two-person teams with enhanced medical training who are able to deliver advanced cardiac care, and intravenous medications under the direction of a control physician.
This service was recently enhanced by the addition of paramedic ambulances and engines in the Capitol Heights, District Heights and Chillum communities. In Paramedic Ambulances and Engines, one person with advanced medical training augments the basic response crew, affording the ability to deliver advanced care prior to the arrival of the paramedic unit. Our goal is to expand this program to other communities throughout the County in the coming year.

Advocacy & Issues
Note: This statement was read by PFLAG National Executive Director Jody M. Huckaby at the National Press Club at a press conference organized by LGBT organizations to call on Congress to vote on ENDA immediately. (Read the media advisory for this event here.)
Good morning. I'm Jody Huckaby, and I'm the executive director of PFLAG, the national organization representing parents, family members and straight allies together with LGBT people in over 350 chapters and affiliates across the country.
It is the voice of parents and allies that I represent here today. Since ENDA's first introduction in 1994, parents and straight friends of LGBT people have been standing in solidarity in sending the message that Congress must pass ENDA now.
As straight parents and friends, most of our PFLAG members are not directly impacted by the lack of employment protections for LGBT people, but they know all too well the incredible impact that discrimination – and often just the fear of discrimination – has on their LGBT loved ones.
I have spoken to the mom whose lesbian daughter has remained in the closet at her job in Ohio for more than 20 years, paralyzed by the fear that if her employer knew she was gay, it would be the end of her job. I've met the grandmother in Louisiana who has been advocating for laws to protect her grandson for too long. And just last week in Manhattan, Kansas, I met with the straight friend of a young woman who is afraid that if her boss discovers she is transgender, she will lose her job.
These parents and straight allies have been vocal about their support for ENDA – since 2007 alone, PFLAG family members and allies have sent more than 8000 e-mails to their federal legislators. They've made more than 100 trips to Capitol Hill to send their message in-person, and they've conducted countless in-district lobby visits.
These are not paid advocates. They are everyday moms and dads, brothers and sisters, and straight friends who have a simple message: our LGBT loved ones deserve the same equality we have. Congress must pass ENDA now.
One of those people who our members have advocated for is here today. I'd like to introduce Terrence, who is going to tell his story of family values, workplace discrimination, and how Congress can act to ensure that the American dream that was instilled in him by his parents and grandmother can become a reality.

Perry M Heather Dr Bmd
Phone: (770) 867-0761
Address: 212 East Broad Street
Winder, GA 30680-2202
Practice: Dentists, Professional Credential, Association, And/Or Degree
Choosing a dentist in Winder is not a fun task. Let's face it nobody really likes dental work, but there are some ways to make it more tolerable. When confronted with choosing a dentist, there are many options available. Over the following sentences we will check out selecting the right dentist.
Know-how is the first thing you must look for in a dentist. There are tons of new dentists and low quality dental offices. I would recommend a dentist who has at least five years of professional experience. If you are getting major dental work done like a crown, you definitely want someone with experience.
Ask your family and friends for any advice they might have. Just like most other services, people have a tendency to visit the same professionals when they find a good one. If you cannot get a referral do some research on the internet and see what other folks have said about certain dental offices. It is usually worth checking out if you discover one that has a lot of good reviews.
Some things to take into consideration are dentists in Winder who promote extremely low prices. Most of that time period these dentists are interested more in quantity versus quality. In these type of practices you aren't going to get lots of one on one attention. Also, avoid dentists who use routine sedation. Most adults do not need this and there's no need to subject yourself to this treatment when it is not needed.
Make sure you either visit or call the precise office to educate yourself regarding their services. By following the recommendations above you will limit the down sides you have when the time comes to choose a dentist in zip code 30680.
Have you actually been to Perry M Heather Dr Bmd? If so remember to give a precise review.

Back to Hawaii News index
Posted: Tuesday, May 27th, 2014 11:34 AM HST
Jury finds ex-soldier eligible for death penalty
By Associated Press
HONOLULU (AP) A former Hawaii soldier convicted of murder is eligible for the death penalty, in the first capital case in the history of Hawaii's statehood.
A federal jury will next decide whether to sentence Naeem Williams to death or give him life in prison without the possibility of release. That begins Wednesday.
The same jury last month convicted Williams in his daughter Talia's 2005 beating death.
Hawaii's territorial government abolished capital punishment in 1957, meaning the death penalty hasn't been an option in Hawaii since it became a state. But Williams was tried in the federal system because the crime occurred on military property.
His attorneys argued he was ineligible for a death sentence because of his low IQ. Prosecutors said Talia's age and other factors made the killing heinous enough to warrant the death penalty.

Ratings for Dr. Min S. Ahn
Not compassionate! Clueless! Waste of time and overpriced!!
I found Dr Ahn in the new Beauty Magazine under expertinjector I wanted a Dr that knows what they are doing. When I got there they told me my appointment wasn't for another hour that was incorrect and that I would be seeing the nurse and not Dr Ahn - they could see I was upset I drove an hour had to wait an hour and was now being told that the Dr wasn't even doing the filler. They raved about how good Rebecca the nurse was at doing the fillers so I did let her do it. I see no improvement I am not happy at all TOTAL WASTE OF 650.00
Dr. Ahn performed primary rhinoplasty on my crooked nose three years ago. The surgery was ultimately a failure as my nose has remained crooked and now I have extreme difficulty breathing due to a collapsed nasal valve and the remaining twisted conformation. In full disclosure, he did offer to perform a virtually free revision which I decided to decline due to the lack of trust after the initial poor outcome. While his skill set may be appropriate for treating other types of nasal conditions, his approach with my crooked nose failed.
I had a series of Fraxel restore treatments to help correct some facial scarring. After doing extensive research on Fraxel providers throughout New England, I decided to have a consultation with Dr. Ahn. After he took my pictures, and met with me for a thorough evaluation (I believe he spoke with me for approximately 30-45 minutes), he recommended the Fraxel restore laser. He told me to expect a 50-75% improvement in the appearance of my scar. After the series of treatments, I could not believe how much the scarring improved. I was so happy with each treatment I had with the nurse and I was even happier when I saw my before and after pictures side by side. Dr. Ahn is truly an expert in facial rejuvenation and the level of professionalism I experienced each time I came to the office was impressive. On a daily basis I am in the public eye, so it is critical that I keep up with my appearance. I am looking forward to a lifelong relationship with this plastic surgeon and his office!
I was nervous to get Botox but Dr. Ahn put me at ease, was extremely professional and I love the results!
I have been to Jen for a couple of facial peels now. They are certainly not fun procedures, especially not with extraction. However, Jen is one of the funniest people ever and makes sure to keep you talking and laughing during the procedure. I have noticed an improvement in my skin in just a couple of procedures and am glad I went.
During Thanksgiving week I had the Duel Fraxel treatment at Dr. Ahn's office. My results are amazing! My skin is glowing and the dark spots are gone. But I really wanted to write about my experience. Fraxel isn't the most comfortable procedure, but what made the difference for me were Rebecca and the staff at AWC. Rebecca is a nurse and has an amazing talent working with people. She explained each step of the procedure, was gentle, and followed my lead as far as the pace.Her voice was calm and soothing.After the procedure, I walked out and the staff gave me so much encouragement. Everyone is professional and kind. Dr. Ahn is wonderful. I don't always see him when I go in to the office, but when I do he takes a lot of extra time with me. I feel that he truly understands what will help me look and feel great. Most importantly for me, he recommends procedures that are least invasive.I highly recommend the Aesthetic Wellness Center!
Dr. Ahn destroyed my face with fraxel repair. This was a severe laser treatment that should never have been recommended and performed on someone with near flawless skin which is what I had. Dr. Ahn fraxeled my face to get rid of a very, very mild case of Rosaeca. The treatment was overpriced, overkill. My once beautiful, youthful, vibrant and glowing skin now looks dead. My entire face has had pinprick holes that look like pores permantely etched into my once poreless skin. The holes are now turning into lines. The collagen and elastin have broken down causing my once firm skin to sag. It is two and a half years since this treatment and the damage continues to worsen. I am aging rapidly due to this monster treatment. Dr. Ahn should have know better than to put this damaging laser on someone with near perfect skin. It has destroyed my life. I wake up every morning with a heavy heart for what has been done to me. Dishonest doctor.
I had a rhinoplasty (my nose fixed) in 2008 by Dr. Ahn and my only regret was that I didn't do it 10 years earlier. I was given some arnica tablets post-op and pain meds (Rx) but my bruising and swelling was very minor. My family noticed my new nose shape the very next day (very little swelling). In fact, I was surprised how minimal the pain, bruising and swelling was. I was expecting two black eyes, a face full of gauze - nope, none of that. Also, I did my homework and called 3 prior rhinoplasty patients...all had wonderful things to say about their results. My whole face changed for the better and I am SO happy with the results. Dr. Ahn is a genius with porportion, shape and keeping scars hidden (my are not visible). I couldn't recommend him more highly.
Dr. Ahn did my rhinoplasty approx. 3 years ago and it was the best decision I ever made. I did my homework, called three people who also had nose jobs done by Dr. Ahn and made sure the Dr. was Board certified. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. My nose came out amazing and changed my whole face for the better. Not to mention, I can even breathe better! I would trust Dr. Ahn with any procedure you are contemplating...his bedside manner is just an added bonus.

Banner Printing in Indianapolis
In 1821 a surveyor made plans to build a new city, allowing one square mile of land as he didn't think the city would grow larger than that. Indianapolis, Indiana is now the 12th largest US city with a population of 829,718. As transportation steadily improved throughout the 1800s, the city became known as "the Crossroads of America". Indianapolis boasts the largest children's museum worldwide, a zoo which is listed as among the top ten by TripAdvisor as well as a host of sporting events, music and the arts.A thriving tourist industry and numerous sporting events make Indianapolis the ideal location for a business. Rather than a full marketing campaign, the use of banners in sports stadiums and arenas may be a more cost effective advertising method, catching the eye of potential clients in a non invasive fashion. Outsourcing your banner printing in Indianapolis will offer high quality workmanship, quality materials and value.
Although there are vast opportunities for new and established businesses in Indianapolis, there can also be huge competition. A company has to create a memorable marketing strategy to build the company brand, and one of the most visual techniques is banner printing. Indianapolis has a host of indoor and outdoor venues for sporting events, concerts and exhibitions which are the ideal location for banners. Select a printing company which has a number of years experience in the industry for your banner printing, as Indianapolis residents and tourists will be looking for reliability and quality from a company. An established printing company will produce banner printing in Indianapolis that builds your brand very quickly.
