First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Sony's gearing up to launch the PlayStation Vita in North America later this month and we've got all the details you need including specs, price, and a look at the Vita games that will be available at launch.
The Vita is Sony's newest handheld gaming system, and in many ways it represents Sony's answer to the Nintendo 3DS. Following on the heels of Sony's earlier PSP and PSP Go mobile gaming systems, the Vita was announced last year and actually came out in Japan last December.
It's shiny and new, isn't that enough? No? The Vita's biggest selling point is arguably the 5-inch 16:9 OLED multi-touch screen. That may not sound large, but for a portable device it's positively huge. The screen's packing some impressive specs as well, with a 960-by-544 pixel resolution that displays up to 16 million colors. I went hands-on with the Vita earlier this week and the screen looks bright, clear, and fantastic for video.
However, videos aren't the only thing that will look great on the Vita. The system's graphics are powered by an ARM Cortex A9 processor, a powerful quad-core CPU capable of rendering some truly impressive graphics on a mobile platform. Sony's taken to comparing the Vita's graphics with their PlayStation 3 console, and while the graphics aren't quite at PS3 levels, the Vita certainly shows off some of the most impressive graphical effects I've ever seen on a mobile device.
Sony's also thrown in a lot of other new bells and whistles that open up a lot of exciting gaming possibilities. The Vita has front and rear facing cameras, a GPS sensor to make it location aware, Wi-Fi capabilities (along with 3G on the more expensive models) and an accelerometer for motion control. With all these options the Vita is potentially capable of supporting nearly any gameplay mechanic game developers are currently using, including tablet-style touch-based games and Nintendo Wii-style motion controls. The obvious exception is the lack of a 3D display, but, given the literal and figurative headaches the Nintendo 3DS' screen has caused some players, it may have been a smart decision to leave that feature out.
PlayStation Vita games are stored on a proprietary flash-based cart format (much like Nintendo's DS line), and most games will allow you to save data directly to their cart. But downloadable titles and the like will always need to be stored on a memory card, which is sold separately from the base hardware.
Sony's last generation of hand-held consoles required proprietary memory sticks for the hardware, and the Vita's complete lack of internal storage means it's no different. If you don't pick up a bundle when the system launches, you'll likely have to pony up for at least one memory card. The smallest is a 4GB card, which costs $20. Sony also sells 8GB ($30), 16GB ($60) and 32GB ($100) cards. Many of the titles available for purchase on the PlayStation Network (PSN) are rather small --many clocking in at under 200MB -- so you should be able to pack quite a few onto even a 4GB memory card. You'll also be able to back up your games to a PC or PS3 so you won't need to store your entire library on your Vita memory card at all times.
Sony also ruffled some feathers earlier this week when they announced that they would not be bringing the Vita's UMD Passport program to North America. The Passport program let Japanese gamers who had bought physical copies of PSP games in the UMD format enter in codes on the game disc to buy a digital version for the Vita at a heavy discount.
Without access to the Passport program, North American users looking to play their old PSP games on their new device will have to re-buy them on the PlayStation store at full price. Obviously, long-time PSP owners aren't exactly pleased about the extra expense. Of course, if this will be your first Sony handheld (or you can deal with playing your old games on your old console) the change won't affect you at all.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Active Investing: The Case for a High Conviction Approach
- The debate over the relative merits of active and passive investing goes on.
- We think it's time for skeptics to give high conviction, active management a fresh look.
- A truly actively managed investment strategy can give investors the chance to outperform over a long period of time.
Our firm believes that to win, one must be different. Bold. In the world of asset management, being bold is being a high conviction, active investor with a global perspective and the ability to distinguish between intended and unintended risks. As it happens, these are precisely the characteristics that, according to a growing body of research, have consistently outperformed not only passive investments, but other types of active strategies, as well.
In the perennial debate over the merits of active and passive investing, the passive camp argues that the average actively managed fund trails the average passive fund over the long term. There's more to the story—a lot more.
The fact is that not all active management styles are created equal. A certain type of high conviction, highly active manager, dubbed "diversified stock pickers" in a groundbreaking series of academic studies, has a clear record of outperforming both their benchmarks and associated passive strategies over a range of time frames, even net of fees. At the same time, the supposed benefits of passive strategies don't always hold up. Indeed, some of the ingrained issues of many passive strategies often prevent them from accurately reflecting market realities.
Actively managed investment strategies should play a key role in any investment portfolio for a variety of reasons:
- Diversified stock pickers have beaten passive strategies globally Net of fees, truly active diversified stock pickers outperformed the most common benchmarks over meaningful time frames.
- Passive strategies are not as passive as you think Several facts inherent to many passive strategies keep them from ever being truly indicative of market realities.
- The coming market may favor active managers A more mature phase in the profit recovery cycle may offer active managers a better opportunity to add value.
In short, a truly actively managed investment strategy can give investors the chance to outperform over a long period of time.

Intercultural Center
The Intercultural Center (ICC) supports international and domestic students of color by serving as advocates for them in their educational pursuits. ICC staff are available for consultation on multicultural and international issues for the entire campus. The office creates programs and events to enhance appreciation for and awareness of cultural diversity within the Bryant community.
The ICC is responsible for compliance with immigration regulations for the University and serves as the home of the Multicultural Student Union and the International Student Organization.
4MILE@bryant Multicultural and International Leadership Experience
4MILE@bryant is a transition program traditionally held the week before fall classes begin for new multicultural and international students who have been admitted to Bryant University. Students have the opportunity to be paired with an upperclass mentor, get acquainted with their new home, and learn more academic, personal, social and cultural supports available throughout their four years at Bryant.
Multicultural and international students who participate in June orientation are still eligible to come to the 4MILE@bryant program. (We recognize that most international students are unable to attend June orientation and therefore there is time carved out at the beginning of the program to get you acclimated to campus and life in the U.S.) All participants take part in team building activities and interactive sessions facilitated by team leaders, faculty, and staff during the program week.
Throughout the first year students are assigned a 4MILE Peer Counselor. Students meet with their mentors regularly and participate in activities throughout the first year.
All students arriving by airplane, train, or bus please send your travel itinerary to: email@example.com so that we will know when you are arriving.
Note: While the ICC cannot provide transportation, you can make your own transportation arrangements or contact All Occasion Transportation, (800) 454-1380, to make a reservation (fees will vary).
Students will receive their permanent room assignment when they arrive so be prepared to move in for the year. All meals will be provided during the program. Commuters may arrange for temporary on-campus housing for the duration of the program ONLY.
For a suggested list of what you will need for your room, refer to the What to Bring page. For students traveling from abroad or who are unable to bring everything they need, opportunities to shop for necessities will take place during the 4MILE program.
For parents and families, there are two hotels located less than 1 mile from campus: Holiday Inn Express & Suites and the Hampton Inn & Suites . Each offers complimentary full breakfast and an indoor heated pool. Limited transportation will be available to and from the Bryant campus from these locations only.
F-1 Visas
Your SEVIS (Student Exchange Visitor Information System) Form I-20, "Certificate of Eligibility," is necessary to obtain an F-1 student visa. This visa permits you to enter the United States for the purpose of studying at Bryant University. Although citizens of many countries are eligible for the Visa Waiver Pilot Program and therefore may travel to the U.S. on tourist visa or without a visa, students must have a student visa to study at Bryant University. If you enter the U.S. on a tourist visa or without a visa, you will be required to leave the U.S. in order to enter on a proper student visa. Therefore, it is important that you follow these instructions.
Review the SEVIS Form I-20
- Verify that the personal information in item 1 is correct. Please notify the Office of Admission at (401) 232-6100 immediately if you find an error.
- Review item 8 for accuracy and make sure it reflects the source of funds on your original documents. You must have these documents to present to the U.S. Consular Officer.
- Read carefully all information on page 2. This will explain YOUR legal responsibilities as an F-1 student in the U.S.
- Complete item 11 with a ballpoint pen and provide the information requested if under the age of 18.
If you are seeking an F-1 visa from an embassy or consulate abroad for initial attendance at Bryant University, you must pay the SEVIS fee before applying for an F-1 visa. You may pay either by mail or over the internet. For more information, visit: http://www.ice.gov/sevis/i901/index.htm
Obtaining an F-1 Student Visa
We recommend that you contact a U.S. embassy or consulate as soon as possible. Processing times for visa issuance vary and may require additional time due to security checks on applications. For the latest information on visa processing, required materials, and current listings of U.S. Embassies and Consulates abroad, we recommend the following web link from the U.S. Department of State (DOS): usembassy.state.gov.
Canadian citizens do not require an F-1 entry visa to enter the U.S. from Canada but do require an I-20, passport, financial documentation and proof of SEVIS fee payment and must follow certain procedures. See Important Information for Canadian students on how to enter the U.S. on F1 status.
Required Documentation
- Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application at http://travel.state.gov/visa/forms/forms_4230.html
- A passport valid for travel to the U.S. with a validity date at least six months beyond your intended period of stay in the U.S. (unless exempt by country-specific agreements listed at http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/104770.pdf
- SEVIS Form I-20 issued by Bryant University
- SEVIS Fee Payment Receipt
- Letter of acceptance from Bryant University
- Evidence of sufficient funds
- Fee and one photograph; please refer to DOS website at http://travel.state.gov/visa/visaphotoreq/visaphotoreq_5334.html
- Evidence of "compelling ties." Student Visa applicants must assure the consular officer that they have the binding ties to a residence in foreign country that they have no intention of abandoning, and that they will depart the U.S. when they have completed their studies. It is important that you are able to articulate your educational goals, emphasizing how your degree will help you when you return home.
Please be advised that F-1 visa is issued within 90 days from the program start date noted on your SEVIS I-20 line 5. If you apply more than 120 days prior to the program start date, the Embassy or Consulate will hold your application until it is able to issue the visa.
Entering the U.S.
If you are entering the U.S. on I-20 with "initial attendance" on line 3, you cannot be admitted sooner than 30 days before the program start date.
When you arrive in the U.S., you will be required to present the following documents to a US Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) officer at the port of entry. Since you must show your documents before you are allowed to claim our bags, do not pack these documents in suitcases that are checked in:
- passport with valid F-1 visa (Canadian citizens are exempt from F-1 visa)
- financial documents
- SEVIS fee payment receipt
- SEVIS Form I-20
Upon arrival, you will be enrolled in the US-VISIT entry-exit program. Once USCBP officer examines your documents and allows you to enter the US, the official will determine the length of your visit on the electronic Arrival-Departure Record (Form I-94).Since Form I-94 documents your visa status and authorized stay in the US, you must access your I-94 at www.cpb.gov/I94, print and keep it in your passport once you arrive at Bryant. For more information on arrival procedure, visit http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/id_visa/study_exchange/exchange_arrivals.xml
Once you are permitted to enter the US and granted F-1 visa status, it is imperative that you understand your legal responsibilities as an F-1 student to maintain your F-1 status while in the US.
Important Information for Canadian Students - Obligation to Comply with Immigration Regulations
In terms of immigration regulations, the only difference between Canadians and other international students coming to the US is that Canadian citizens are not required to apply for an F-1 entry visa at a US consulate.
Some Canadians have mistakenly assumed that other regulations that apply to international students do not apply to them. Canadians are subject to the same regulations regarding employment in the US, requirement for full-time study and all other provisions for maintaining status. Other than applying for a visa, it is important that you read about and abide by all other provisions relating to F-1 status described in page 2 of SEVIS I-20. It is especially important for Canadian students to be vigilant about entering the US in proper student status, as immigration inspectors are accustomed to admitting Canadian citizens as visitors.
US-VISIT (United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology) is a program created by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to collect, maintain and share information, including biometric identifiers of foreign nationals who enter the United States. This information will be stored in a database and maintained by DHS and the Department of State as part of an individual's travel record.
Students Transferring to Bryant University
If you plan to leave the US prior to enrolling at Bryant University, you MUST USE Bryant University SEVIS Form I-20 to enter the US. If you already have a valid F-1 visa, you do not have to obtain a new one, even through visa annotation on your F-1 visa stamp in your passport may indicate different name of the educational institution. Follow the directions below regarding arrival at Bryant University.
Arrival at Bryant University
You are legally REQUIRED to register your immigration documents with the Intercultural Center (ICC) upon arrival at Bryant University. You MUST bring your passport, SEVIS Form I-20, Form I-94 and all previously issued Forms I-20 (if any) to International Student Advisor at the ICC. The registration process is completed at the time of check-in for all new undergraduate students during the orientation program called 4MILE@Bryant. For graduate students, this MUST be done within the first two weeks of classes. The ICC will help you with all immigration-related matters during your studies at Bryant University, however, it is YOUR responsibility to maintain your status.
If you are starting school in the fall, undergraduate students are REQUIRED to attend 4MILE. During 4MILE, topics such as travel, immigration regulations, how to maintain your status, and employment options will be discussed. For graduate students, the information will be provided at the time of check-in with the International Student Advisor.
Please feel free to contact the ICC with any questions. We look forward to meeting you soon and hope that your time at Bryant University will be academically and personally rewarding.

Meditation on the 4 Elements
Meditation on the 4 Elements
Wendy Rule, 2008
Wendy Rule's voice is enchanting, a smoky drift from the shadows of consciousness. That voice can salvage lyrics that might sound ridiculous otherwise, as they did on her 2005 collaboration with Gary Stadler, Deep Within a Faerie Forest. On Wendy's newest album, Meditations on the 4 Elements, it sweeps across dark soundscapes of droning synthesizers. As its title suggests, this album is more guided meditation than musical endeavor. While this sort of thing isn't my cup of tea, that hypnotic voice kept me listening.
Accented by cello currents from longtime collaborator Rachel Samuel and vibraphone washes from Elissa Goodrich, Rule evokes a series of elemental free-associations. Over a thick synth pulse that hardly changes throughout the album's 54-minute length, her voice echoes through mystic cadences dedicated to the qualities of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. Invocations of deep breathing ("Breathe") and magic ("Magic") begin and end this album, setting space for the elements and preparing a trance-like state for the listener that ideally guides you in and out of a meditative space. The four key tracks hover around ten minutes each, with five-minute bookends to open and close the album.
Does it work? That depends on how receptive a listener you are and how conducive your environment is to getting lost in the album. A dark room, lit by candles or dim moonlight, provides the perfect space for these Meditations. By full daylight, the album wouldn't work at all. The meditations themselves border on banal: "Earth of food/ of grain and bread and honey/ of leaf and root that feeds a hunger/ of ripe summer fruits and crisp apples/ of pomegranate/ Earth/ Earth of bounty/ of plenty/ of prosperity/ delicious Earth/ sumptuous Earth…" The whole album sounds pretty much like this, and its appeal depends on your threshold for New Age invocations.
Meditations of the 4 Elements is not for everyone. Musically, it's one long drone; magically, it depends on a suspension of the critical monkey-mind. Under the wrong circumstances, or spoken by someone without Rule's rich, sensuous voice, the album's recitations would seem absurd. Occasionally, I think, they still do. Even so, that voice, that silky compelling voice, renders the whole thing mystical. Rule's commitment to these Meditations makes this risky project seem sublime.
RATING: 3½ Broomsticks

My apologies for any ignorance of the teachings of Nichiren Daishonin and I again apologize if this is the wrong part of the forum to post in but I fear if I were to post this in the Nichiren Buddhism section not too many would read my post but this is the part of the forum where interpretations are argued so I think I am alright. I don't want to overpost so I'll wait for a few weeks before I post again
According to Nichiren the Lotus Sutra is the highest teaching of the Buddha and all previous sutras were provisional and were used to prepare for the Lotus Sutra and thus only the Lotus Sutra contains what is needed for a disciple's salvation.
In his letter 'Questions and Answers About Embracing The Lotus Sutra' (Which can be found at this link http://www.sgilibrary.org/view.php?page=55&m=0&q= ) he states:
If you think that to proclaim the absolute superiority of the Lotus Sutra is to take too narrow a view, then one would have to conclude that no one in the world was more narrow-minded than Shakyamuni Buddha. I am afraid you are greatly mistaken in this matter. Let me quote from one of the sutras and from the commentary of one school, and see if I can resolve your confusion.
The Immeasurable Meanings Sutra says: "[Because people's natures and desires are not alike], I preached the Law in various different ways. Preaching the Law in various different ways, I made use of the power of expedient means. But in these more than forty years, I have not yet revealed the truth."
Hearing this pronouncement, Great Adornment and the others of the eighty thousand bodhisattvas replied in unison, voicing their understanding that "[as for those living beings who are unable to hear this sutra . . . ] though immeasurable, boundless, inconceivable asamkhya kalpas may pass, they will in the end fail to gain unsurpassed enlightenment."
The point of this passage is to make clear that, no matter how much one may aspire to the Buddha way by calling upon the name of Amida Buddha, or by embracing the teachings of the Zen school—relying on the sutras of the Flower Garland, Agama, Correct and Equal, and Wisdom periods preached by the Buddha during the previous forty years and more—one will never succeed in attaining supreme enlightenment, even though a countless, limitless, inconceivable number of asamkhya kalpas should pass.
And this is not the only passage of this type. The "Expedient Means" chapter of the Lotus Sutra states, "The World-Honored One has long expounded his doctrines and now must reveal the truth." It also says, "[In the Buddha lands of the ten directions] there is only the Law of the one vehicle, there are not two, there are not three." These passages mean that only this [Lotus] sutra represents the truth.

This year, the figure is closer to 69%—still a solid majority, and far ahead of the 17.2% of revenues brought in by subscriptions to services like Pandora or the 14.1% of revenues from per-download fees. Mobile music revenues in the US, including revenues generated from downloads or streams direct to mobile devices and excluding multiplatform services or sideloaded music, will total $429.3 million this year. By 2016, they will reach $1.68 billion. This will still leave music as the smallest source of mobile content revenues, compared with video and games, though its share in 2015 will be 7 percentage points greater than this year. Gaming commands a plurality of revenues, at 43% of the total in 2012 and hovering around that amount through the end of the forecast period, while video revenues will shrink from more than half of revenues in 2010 to less than a third by 2016. This year, revenues from mobile games will reach $1.08 billion, compared with $1 billion from video. The revenue mix from mobile games has changed little in the past few years, but eMarketer expects download fees to account for a shrinking share of the total beginning in 2013, when in-game revenues will begin to account for a greater share, at 42.8%. In 2016, when mobile gaming revenues will total $3.02 billion, in-game revenues will contribute nearly half that amount, or $1.16 billion, while downloads will account for $1.04 billion. eMarketer estimates mobile revenues from music, video and games based on the analysis of reported revenues from company releases; estimates from other research firms; mobile content usage trends; and eMarketer interviews with executives at brands, publishers and other industry leaders.

Hunters should make safety their first priority when using tree stands. When used properly and with safety in mind, tree stands can provide the "edge" deer hunters need for a successful hunt. Too many times, however, tree stands can become dangerous and deadly for experienced and inexperienced hunters alike. With common sense and an awareness of potential hazards, tree stand users can provide a safe and enjoyable experience.
"Each year in South Carolina deer hunters are injured, some fatally, due to improper or careless tree stand use," said Lt. Jim Wagers, hunter education coordinator for the S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR). "Enjoy your time in the field, so make sure to inspect your equipment," added Wagers."
Of tree stands on the market today, none are 100 percent foolproof. The DNR offers the following tips for a successful and safe tree stand deer hunt:
In addition to these tree stand safety recommendations always wear a visible hat, vest or coat of international orange while deer hunting. The use of international orange is required on all Wildlife Management Area (WMA) lands during the gun and muzzleloader hunting seasons for deer and hogs. All hunters must wear either a hat, coat, or vest of solid visible international orange, except hunters for dove and duck are exempt from this requirement while hunting those species.Call the DNR hunter and boater education office in Columbia at (803) 734-3995 for information on DNR hunter education courses.

American Printer's mission is to be the most reliable and authoritative source of information on integrating tomorrow's technology with today's management.
May 1, 2011 12:00 AM
Every day, without fail, whether a weekday or weekend, Robert B. Ott Sr. walked into The Hennegan Co. office wearing a white shirt and tie. In honor of his final day on the job, the entire office wore white shirts and ties.
"I've just always worn a tie, and I didn't stop when everything got more casual," says Ott, who served as president of the company for his entire 66-year career. "Until recently, ties were commonplace."
Ott retired on April 2, 2011. Bob started at Hennegan on April 2, 1946 after an abbreviated college education and service in the Coast Guard during WWII. He is the son of Ben and Ann Hennegan Ott and grandson of Hennegan's founder. Sons Bob Jr. and Kevin also work in the business as president/CEO and vice president, respectively.

"Jack Iacovelli was a legendary character in the printing industry for more than 30 years," writes Geno Paesano. "There are many dealers and printers who owe him a debt of gratitude for his knowledge, generosity and friendship."
Iacovelli died this past February at age 70. He was the regional vice president of ATF-Davidson for more than 20 years. He joined Omni Adast in 1986. He became national sales manager in 1989, and executive vice president of Omnitrade Industrial in 1994.
"Jack was a staunch dealer advocate and a vigorous supporter of the printer," Paesano remembers. "He earned a reputation for candor and the integrity of his handshake."
In 1989, Hoosiers Mike and Janet Wadsworth founded what became Red Line Graphics Inc. The couple owned retail shoe stores — in-store material requirements led them to the graphic arts. At the same time, Mike was climbing the corporate ladder in the dairy and grocery business. On the printing side, the company acquired 18 companies over a 10-year span.
In July 1990, Mike had a near fatal auto accident. Mike quit his corporate job, and he and Janet renamed their print shop. The Red Line Graphics name refers to the indicator on a cardiac monitor. Mike "red-lined" twice before being airlifted from one hospital to another.
Mike is now dealing with Stage IV multiple myeloma, a rare and incurable blood cancer. "I asked God to slow me down and this is the path he chose for me and I've accepted it," says Wadsworth, who has undergone two stem cell transplants. "I've had three trial drug runs. I've opened myself up to be a medical guinea pig so that doctors might find a solution for others in the future."

Track and field squads split for this weekend's meets
April 15, 2010
ARLINGTON, Texas - The UT Arlington track and field teams will split the squad and attend two separate events this weekend. The John Jacobs Invitational at the University of Oklahoma will host part of the squad and the rest will be attending the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, California.
The Mt. SAC Relays are the equivalent to what the Texas Relays has to offer. The best athletes from around the country will be competing in the Relays this weekend. The Relays are presented by Puma.
Caroline Erlingson, Christina Mose, Amanda McMahon, Jerono Patrober and Ozie Hood will all be competing in the Relays.
Earlier this week, the U. S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association came out with their second bi-weekly rankings. The men's team was ranked 50th after being ranked 44th previously and are ranked first in the Southland conference. The next closest team in conference is Southeastern Louisiana, who dropped eight spots and is ranked 58th.
The women's team comes in ranked third overall in the conference. Following Northwestern State (75th) and Texas State (96th), the Mavericks hold the 124th spot in the nation, just one spot lower than they were previously ranked.
The John Jacobs Invitational begins on Friday afternoon with the hammer throw and javelin. The track events will begin after the remainder of the field events that start on Saturday at 11 a.m. The collegiate portion of the Mt. SAC Relays will start and finish on Saturday.
Cordero Gray holds the eighth fastest time in the 100 meter dash and is only six hundredths of a second from moving up in the rankings.
Fellow sprinter Jasmine Walls comes in at 72nd for the women in the same event.
Live results can be found at relays.mtsac.edu for the Mt. SAC Relays and at soonersports.com for the John Jacobs Invitational.

I did search the forum (good search is "book" in titles only), but didn't find what I'm looking for. I'd love a good book a step back from "how-to" - about the fundamentals of plumbing. The terminology, the physics of water flows and vacuums created, the mechanics of washers, gaskets, pipes, slip vs compression vs threads... A whole chapter on washers would be nice - plastic, brass, rubber, reducing, flat, tapered, flanged, thin, thick - a book explaining *why* things work and what general problem fittings/etc. are trying to address, rather than a case-by-case how-to. I understand this is the kind of thing you only TRULY learn via experience, but the same can be said for philosophy and I really benefit from reading Kierkegaard
I've been trying to fashion my own low-algae, low maintenance, low cost chicken watering system and have iterated because of leaks / low flow / algae (too much light goes right through 5 gallon bucket HDPE). I'd love to have a better feel for materials and fittings and when and why they're applied, such that I'd be able to design, say, my own bulkhead by choosing from among a few appropriate materials and components. Thank you for this forum, it's a wonderful place! I'd like to get to the point where I could offer help as well as ask for it ... So, any recommendations for deep books on fundamentals?

List Price: $68.00Publisher: Schirmer/Mosel Verlag GmbHBinding: HardcoverPages: 200Size: 9.75" wide x 12.75" long x 1.00" tall Weight: 3.300Language: English
Internationally-known German fashion photographer Peter Lindbergh revolutionized his métier with iconic images of Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Tatjana Patitz and other models. His photographs sought to capture the personality, character, and identity of the models--and not just the glitter and glamour. His new project represents another innovative chapter in the field of fashion photography. The Unknown is a photographic "serial novel" of fashion shootings set against the backdrop of a fictitious landing of beings from outer space. The extra terrestrial theme is elegantly augmented with elements of Hollywood glamour from the fifties, the German cinema of Fritz Lang, and futuristic scenarios of science fiction movies--much in the manner of Orson Welles or Ridley Scott. Lindbergh has now joined these photographs together for the first time to form a large-scale pictorial narrative for the exhibition in Beijing.

Coniston and Little Langdale
This section of the page features an image gallery, so if you're using a screen reader you may wish to jump to the main content.
Landscape of fell, meadow and woodland around Coniston Water
Coniston covers a large area of some of the Lake District's most scenic woodland, water and fells.
One of many lovely places is the iconic Tarn Hows beauty spot, with its magnificent mountain views. The readily accessible Blea Tarn in Little Langdale also has superb views and fine walking.
Monk Coniston Hall was once home to James Garth Marshall, the Victorian creator of Tarn Hows. Explore the old walled garden and grounds famed for their exotic conifer.
Follow our lead at lambing time...
Spring is of course one of the nicest times to visit the Lake District but it's also a busy time for our local farmers as the sheep are lambing. Please keep your dog on a tight lead near sheep so as not to worry or harm ewes and lambs. We appreciate your co-operation in the lambing season.
Ambles & rambles for all the family
Our area is a great introduction to the pleasures of rambling amidst wonderful scenery. Lower level walks around Yew Tree Tarn, Blea Tarn and in Little Langdale are ideal for a family outing.
Take a sail on the 'Gondola'
The steam yacht 'Gondola' is a visitor favourite. Taking a sail is an ideal way to see the wonderful views from a different angle.
You can enjoy it just as a cruise round or combine it with a walk.
Hike & bike
For our more energetic visitors, there's a host of walking and biking opportunities in the Coniston area, such as big mountains like The Old Man and dedicated off-road biking routes.
Rangers' tales
Shed life
This may just answer a question for those of you who enjoy the high fells.
Loads of fleeces and none of them golden
A lot of work goes into keeping paths in good condition.

It's tough for an admittedly over-served Buffalo wing to compete with the likes of a trendy pork belly slider or a Super Bowl-worthy bowl of wild-game chili. And when you throw in the carrots and celery with blue cheese on the side, the scales are irretrievably tipped on the "uncool" side of Super Bowl-dom. And no one wants to go there. So, we started thinking. What if you infused those little chicken wings with fresh new flavors? Which made us think of Asian. Which made us skip right past the teriyaki and head straight for the Thai spices and ingredients in our pantries, and the ginger and citrus in our fridges. We grabbed the honey. We unscrewed the lid on the peanut butter jar. We hunkered down…and next thing we knew, there it was: A new breed of Super Bowl party wings with au courant relevance. Now that's pretty cool. —By Stacey Norwood, Multimedia Editor Ginger-Orange Glazed Chicken Wings A citrusy Asian glaze sets these wings apart for your Super Bowl party line-up. Thai Honey Chicken Wings These baked chicken wings are glazed with a spicy honey sauce. Peanutty Asian Chicken Wings These five-ingredient wings will be gone before the bowl game half-time show even gets started, so make extras. Orange Hoisin Spiced Chicken Wings You May Also Like

SmartPark JFK give you great customer service at very competitive prices. SmartPark offer a complimentary free shuttle service to all JFK terminals with luggage assistance available 24 hours - 7 days a week. SmartPark's polite and courteous staff are always available to provide assistance. As you pull into our facility you will be greeted by an attendant who will check you in, carry your luggage, and escort you to one of our new shuttles that will transport you to your departure terminal at JFK in minutes. For your return journey please call 877-JFK-PARK and you will be directed where to meet shuttle bus.
Very frustrating and unpleasant experience from my yesterday's arrival to JFK terminal # 1 around 8:00 pm: 1) Waiting time was about a half of an hour (I recorded my calls to the front desk on my smartphone. 2) A front desk clerk said that the pick up will be in 7-12 min from my first call due to busy time in the airport. Upon my arrival to the front desk in the parking, I found no signs of busy time: only one passenger ahead of me, 3 empty shuttles waiting in the parking. 3) A front desk clerk was unprofessional and pretty crude. Do not want to go into details, but she should not work directly with customers. In the past, my experience with SmartPart was OK. I guess it all depends on the person who is at the front desk.
Pretty bad. I've used other park and fly services at JFK and this place was awful. The pickup van could not even pull into there own parking lot because the cars were so backed up. Not enough people on staff. My car was not ready, there was a Hugh line of people trying to get out or get to their flights. I missed my appointment- I hope nobody missed their flight. Very weak. Felt bad for the folks working there.
Highly recommended was the day of the big snow and the car was completely clean and ready to go. Good job
Although the parking lot was difficult to find, I would recommend Smartpark to other travelers. When I dropped off my car, the staff was friendly and I was in the shuttle and heading to the airport within minutes. Upon my return, I was surprised to wait only seven minutes for the shuttle and when I arrived at the parking lot, my car was ready for me. I will use Smartpark in the future.
I know it is out of your control, but the traffic at the pick up area was pure anarchy. If the people like you who use JFK could get them to improve the situation, or set up a separate area (away from the personal and limo pick ups) for commercial pick ups. who would make your ops more efficient improve the customer's experience.
Overall, i think Smart Park is a decent place to park you vehicle when you are traveling. It isn't the closest to the airport, but i knew that going in, check in is fast. My only issue was i was the first to arrive, and i was expecting to leave soon (15 minutes or less), but as other cars kept arriving, my shuttle waited for them to check in so they catch my shuttle. I ended up staying there for about 30 minutes if not more before my shuttle left for the airport. I was worried a bit about not making my flight. Coming back, they came in a reasonable amount of time, considering all the traffic that was in the vincinity. Only spend 1 minute to check out as my car was already waiting for me by the office. The price good, and the experience was good. I would park my car there again.
The staff at smart park was excellent and courteous. Only waited 10 min for pickup on arrival.
I am very happy with the service. Will definitely use it in future.
There was no wait when I dropped the car off and on my return, it is clear they dispatched the shuttle as soon as I called. Facilities aren't fancy but more than adequate and they have good coffee for the trip home. I'll definitely use for all my travel out of JFK and will strongly recommend to others.
Very curious and my car was on and waiting for me when I arrived at the parking location which was AWESOME! Would recommend and use again.
I could not have been more pleased. The staff were so personable and professional and when I returned they had me out if the airport and on my way home in no time at all. I would park here again without hesitation.
Everyone is friendly and helpful. The pick up at the airport was a little long the wait was about 30 min at least .
We felt overly rushed by staff on arrival at the car park facility. Otherwise, Excellent all round.
I travelled during the Thanksgiving holiday and I did not run into any issues for the departing flight. Most of my complaints have something to do during my arrival such as the following: 1. I called 8:07 am to inform them that I already arrived and got all my baggage. I was informed to head towards the Passenger Pick-Up area of the terminal (which I did sinceI was informed the shuttle will be there in a few minutes). The shuttle arrived at 8:45 am (almost 40 minutes after!) after 3 follow-up calls 2. When I arrived in the parking lot, my car was not yet ready and pulled up and the person in the desk asked me if I called before hand -- obviously I did since I was picked-up and I even called 3 times to follow-up on my pick-up. Take note that my flight arrived on a Sunday morning when there was no traffic and there were just a few passengers. I will definitely try a different parking service next time and skip JFK Smart Park because of this experience
I certainly will use this service in the future. Thanks
Smart Park provided us with excellent services. They are very reliable and we will use them again.
Shuttles run 10-15 minutes..it's customers who call for a pick up and do not have luggage ready and out at curb that slow the trip down..causes driver to have to wait...call when you have your luggage as a courtesy to others..
After calling to pick me up at an airport, they came soon. I have always used this parking when using JFK.
Economical and very professional... will definitely use them again and will refer them to friends.
The pick up location at the airport was too congested. We had difficulty getting to the shuttle.

Things we don't say about homosexuality will hurt children
- Details
26 May 2011
- Written by Tri-State Defender Newsroom
Linda S. Wallace
As the only African American in the class, twenty or so pairs of eyes turned upon me. My classmates had turned to stare, halfway expecting me to yell. Instead, I gathered my books, slowly and deliberately, and walked out.
I can't remember feeling scared or angry as I walked into the principal's office. When he was available, I explained what happened and told him I would not be going back to class until the teacher apologized. The principal walked me back to the classroom, offered the teacher an opportunity to explain, and then said to her, "You owe Linda an apology."
Case closed. I took my seat and returned to the most important job my parents had entrusted to me: graduation.
School is more than a place to learn. It is the place citizens gather to acquire the resources and tools to support the fragile, beautiful but breakable gift of freedom. We learn how the government works, why we must vote, how to appreciate differences and, if you are like me, how to stand up for ourselves. (Many thanks to the principal who backed me up: justice is a team sport.)
A healthy republic, after all, is not one that requires that all citizens agree; rather it is one that requires its citizens to learn how to disagree and safeguard freedoms for minorities. Schools are the place where we pass the torch to a coming generation.
In Tennessee last Friday, the state Senate passed a bill that would ban teachers from discussing homosexuality. Critics have nicknamed it the "Don't say gay" bill as it seeks to prevent teachers from discussing homosexuality with elementary and middle school students. Instead, conversations and materials would be "limited exclusively to age-appropriate natural human reproduction science." Republican Stacey Campfield of Knoxville, the proposal's sponsor, says this makes sense since "homosexuals don't naturally reproduce."
On the day the Senate approved the proposal by a vote of 19-11, Gallup released a poll revealing that American attitudes towards homosexuality are changing and 53 percent now believe same-sex marriage should be legal.
Classroom experiences, interactions and instructional materials form a noble stairway that allows students to advance critical-thinking and problem-solving skills.
Gary Elgin, former director of Knoxville Pride and Rainbow Community Awareness Project, told journalists the bill has caused "national embarrassment" for the state.
"Tennesseans are not narrow-minded; it's only the fringe and the far right who have made their voices the loudest," Elgin said. "We are a state of peace-loving and quality-minded people, and our laws need to reflect that."
He is right. This bill means Tennessee students' journey to the mountaintop of community diversity will be delayed, leaving them further behind with lots of ground to cover.
The children of gays and lesbians are not the only ones who will be hurt. This would set back an entire state.

These are fantastic shoes out of the box. My wife got these for me and i had no soreness after a 90 minute basketball session.

Hyland's Baby Teething Tablets
" I used the old formula for my first two babies and loved it. I was really sad when they went off the market when my third child was a newborn and I hoarded every bottle I could find. We were part of a sample give-away when they came back with the new formula. My baby was about 9 months then and in need fo teething help! My baby is now 2.5 and has used Hyland's..." --MammaG
Sophie the Giraffe Natural Teether
"I received Sophie as a gift at my baby shower. I am highly allergic to latex, an allergy that was developed as an adult from repeated exposure to latex (wearing latex gloves at work). I noticed my arms were itching after handling Sophie. I went online and discovered the natural rubber this toy is made from is LATEX! The last thing I want is for my infant to develop a latex allergy from repeat..." --ColePate
doTERRA Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils
" I was introduced back 2 years ago by a friend who uses doterra. She let me use Deep Blue for a pulled muscle. Wow, it worked so fast.Since then I have ordered over 20 more of their oils and love all of them. Now my Mom and 2 friends use doterra's oil. " --Hayley Thompson
Boiron Arnicare Gel
"I have sustained a knee injury at the begging of June this year and a friend recommended I should buy some Arnica gel. I bought the Boiron one which also included the pills that dissolve in your mouth. Have started using it after about 10 days after I had the injury and I immediately noticed dramatic improvements in the healing process. As soon as I used the gel, my knee started hurting less..." --Monica S
Carlson Vitamin D Baby Drops 400iu 11 ml drops
"We decided to supplement our DD with Vit. D drops because she was in daycare full-time. What I like about this brand is that it has a built-in dropper that measures out the perfect drop, which is easier to use when you have a baby in one hand. I've read online that those with a built-in dropper can be difficult to use and easy to overdose, but I found that this one works just fine as long as..." --Mosaic
Nosefrida The Snotsucker Nasal Aspirator
"A friend told me about this product after I said the bulb aspirators did nothing to clear my daughter's nose. The Nosefrida really works! All new moms should get one. (my daughter doesn't like it, but she doesn't like when I put anything near her face, not just this.) And the name is awesome. " --lucy_v
North States Superyard XT Gate Play Yard
"We used it for the same thing as the previous poster, to go across a large entertainment area (tv, stand, dvd shelves, game systems) and keep baby away from those. It worked well. We sort of bent two sides flush against the wall since there was no way to hook it to the wall. It never fell over on a one-year-old who used it to stand up. A bigger kid probably wouldn't be kept..." --BellaRose0212
Aura Cacia Eucalyptus Essential Oil
" Aura Cacia makes great essential oils, and they are convenient to buy since they are in all the grocery stores. The eucalyptus is great for colds. You can add some drops to a bath or even the shower to clear out sinuses. I also like to steam my face with eucalyptus when I have an acne breakout. This eucalyptus oil seems like pretty high quality for the really inexpensive price! " --Gretchen_PDX
Summer Infant Best View Handheld Color Video Monitor with 2.5" Screen
"We've had ours for 18 months or so and the batteries are dead so we just used it plugged in. The batteries don't hold a charge at all--but when it's plugged in, the light shows green so I'm not sure what's going on with yours. I haven't bothered to call the company for new batteries because we don't really need it to be mobile now, but I appreciate the tip from the PP about getting batteries..." --thebessmartinfo
Floradix Formula Iron (250mL) Brand: Flora
" I used this while I was pregnant with my sixth baby due to low iron levels. I was able to find it on the shelf at my local grocer which was a plus for me since I wanted to begin using it immediately. I found it to work well. My iron levels went up and I absorbed it easily since it is a liquid. However, there was a big drawback for me when my teeth started yellowing...." --maself
