The Northern Lights Sento F2 sauna benches, and the sauna interior, delight with their balanced harmony. There is a strong Chi, a power of life, and the Feng Shui is very relaxing. The passage to the sauna benches is easy, the heater is well placed in a naturally visible place, but still protected from the bathers. The bench design promotes relaxation and harmony among the bathers, giving each person their space.
Great benches make your sauna special! SENTO sauna benches are always designed and made to measure, specially for each and every sauna. We place special dedication to produce exceptionally high quality products. You will never regret investing in quality.
The wood material is carefully selected, the parts are thick and solid, and thus long lasting. For your selection we have various ready designs and many options and details to choose from.
(Sentō is Japanese for a public bath, many of which have a sauna)
NOTE: The price indicated is for a room size up to (A) 6 ft. (183 cm) deep x (B) 8 ft. (244 cm) wide.
Standard features:
SENTO F2 - minimum room dimensions:
Width B: The two upper bench depths, corners and turning upper bench parts, and the heater width including its safety distances, requires a minimum of 87 in. (220 cm).
Installing the benches is easy, as there is no need to cut or form the benches. This web service at Saunastore allows you to easily calculate the total cost and place your order, but in all cases before fabricating the benches for you we make a layout drawing of your sauna with the benches, that you must verify all dimensions are correct and all details are accounted for. You need to send us as additional information your sauna dimensions, and preferably a draft drawing of your sauna room with all dimensions. It is important for us to know the model of the heater you have chosen.
SENTO benches have sturdy surface planks of 1.1 in. (28 mm) thickness and 3.5 in. (90 mm) width, the bench front edge in two options: The 5.5 in. edge "40x140" is attention grabbing and massive, bringing form to the sauna. The 3.5 in. "40x90" is stylish and flows easily with the other sauna details. The frame structure is solid spruce.
The optional depths of the upper benches are 20 in. and 24 in. (50 and 60 cm).
The lower bench is a deck, made according to your sauna dimensions.
The backrest is installed so that the height of the top edge is c.20 in. (50 cm) up from the upper bench.
Upper and lower bench levels are 17.7 in. (45 cm) apart.
Normally the upper bench height from the floor is 43.3 in. (110 cm).
The sauna stepping bench normal height is 13 in. (33 cm). Note the space available in your sauna when opting the right stepping bench. Normally the stepping bench can be pushed underneath the lower bench.
If you have a window, a heating radiator, a water faucet or other structures in the sauna, those will be taken into consideration in your sauna layout drawing, as your benches are fabricated uniquely. Just let us know about them.
The starting point in determining your sauna bench dimensions, are the heater dimensions and the required safety distances. The heater must always be chosen first before placing your bench order, and you must let us know the exact heater type.
Northern Lights Sento benches are manufactured in Estonia, where high quality material is available and craftsmanship is at a high level.
Light aspen: A very stylish light colour, almost white, makes the sauna feel spacious, gives a fresh clean impression. However it is very prone to get dirty and have stains. Therefore light aspen is stylish but not very practical.
Thermotreated aspen: An elegant light brown colour. It is smooth and pleasing to the touch. Dirt or stains do not stick as easily and do not show as easily, making this material more practical. This is our most popular bench material.
Alder: Light in colour, with a shade of rose, and it is a harder wood than aspen. The colour of the alder will gradually turn toward more beige/yellowish with age. Alder is very durable, has a pleasant sweet scent, and is overall a good material for sauna benches.
Shipping cost is included in the USA.
Before manufacturing your benches, we will make a detailed layout drawing of your sauna, according to your dimensions, so that you can confirm the dimensions and all details to be correct. The measurements are taken from the surface of sauna wall paneling wall-to-wall. You must send us these dimensions with your order, and if possible, draft a layout drawing of your sauna with the dimensions.
The heater type must always be selected before ordering the sauna benches, and the heater model must be informed to us.

Rather than break down the amount of time a specific athlete or figure was covered, we counted how frequently names were mentioned in the transcripts from the week. The 15 most-mentioned sports people for July 20-26:
Tiger Woods: 55
Adam Scott: 51
Joe Paterno: 41
Ernie Els: 32
Peyton Manning: 28
Ichiro Suzuki: 28

CUMULATIVE STATISTICS: Jan. 7-July 26
Total time: 13,067.25 minutes
Time (minus commercials): 9,821

Other: 1169.75 (11.9%)
College basketball: 1040.75 (10.6%)
College football: 265.5 (2.7%)
Tiger won something last weekend: Even though the 2012 British Open will be forever remembered as Adam Scott's Sunday collapse, ESPN still managed to spend the most time on Tiger Woods, who was out of contention by the end of the third round of play. Can you blame them? ESPN aired all four rounds of the British Open, and viewers aren't tuning in to watch a guy who has, for most of his career, been labeled as a disappointment. The Open was going to get a significant portion of SportsCenter no matter what, and Tiger means viewers.
Penn State coverage was hit and miss: ESPN mostly did a good job of its coverage of the Paterno statue removal, followed by the fallout from NCAA sanctions on Monday. Bob Ley did a fantastic interview with NCAA President Mark Emmert and asked some tough questions. That was fine.
The same day the NCAA's sanctions were announced, ESPN had all of the SEC football coaches on the Bristol campus, doing interviews with a variety of radio, TV, and internet outlets. That meant almost every interview with a coach led with a question on Penn State, followed by those coaches doing their best to answer the question as quickly and as blandly as possible. SportsCenter included snippets of these interviews (which totalled a little over 2.5 minutes) on the Monday edition, and they honestly weren't needed. It felt like they were trying to shoehorn promotion for their own content while giving the impression they were covering a news story.
FOOTBALL FOOTBALL FOOTBALL: Get ready. The NFL is coming. I counted at least four instances where the network teased their exclusive, insider look at Broncos training camp this week, highlighted by an interview with Peyton Manning that lasted 7 minutes and 30 seconds. There were also stories on prodigal son Tim Tebow, Alex Smith, and Robert Griffin III. With training camp and preseason games just a few weeks away, that means one thing: more of John Clayton's beautiful face on your television screen.

The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved a new rule Thursday for men's and women's soccer that allows members of coaching staffs, who are on site at a match to communicate with each other via electronic devices. The change becomes effective in the 2014-15 academic year.
PROP, which met via conference call, also approved a proposal that allows teams to use the data collected by any electronic devices worn by student-athletes. Previously, players were allowed to wear such devices – which might monitor anything from heart rate to distance run– but could not examine the data until after the final buzzer.
Committee members decided to remove restrictions for use of electronic equipment that is easily available and commonly used.
Additionally, PROP approved a slight change to the protocol for the end of a match. Under the new rule, when the horn malfunctions and fails to sound, the game ends when the clock reaches 0:00. Previously, when the horn didn't sound at the event, the match officially ended when the referee blew their whistle.
The timekeeper will still audibly count down the final seconds and will say "zero," to indicate that time is officially over.
PROP also approved a change involving penalty-kick shootouts. Once 10 kicks have been taken, coaches are allowed to change the order of the next 10 kickers.
Previously, the order of the kickers remained the same after the first 10 penalty kicks.

A – Audience. Fitting that it comes first. The most important part of any speech. A speech is for the audience and about the audience. Always.
B – Books. There are so many resources available these days for public speakers. Invest a small amount of money in yourself and pick some up. Here are three of my favourites: Presentation Zen; Made to Stick; Speak Like Churchill, Stand Like Lincoln.
C — Concreteness. Cut out the jargon and doublespeak. Use simple words, images and props to get your message across. Remember what Leonardo da Vinci said: "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." Here is a post that talks about how to be concrete and has a great five-minute speech that serves as an excellent example.
D — Data. Learn to handle it and present it properly. Do not overwhelm your audience with figures. Choose what is most important. Put the data into context to make it relevant for the audience. Here is a great presentation by Hans Rosling in which he takes enormous amounts of data and presents it in a way that the audience can understand.
E – Emotion. Speaking with emotion is one of the best ways to connect with the audience. People are tired of lifeless speakers who are just going through the motions. They crave speakers who can touch them with their words. One of the best examples: Martin Luther King.
F — Focus. Always ask yourself two questions before you begin to prepare a speech or presentation: (a) What is my key message? (b) Why should the audience care? The answers will help you stay focused on what is most important. Don't lose that focus!
G — Gratitude. Public speaking is a privilege. People are giving you one of the most precious things that they have – their time. Be grateful for the opportunity. Genuinely grateful. That gratitude will shine through and help you make a better connection with the audience.
H – Humour. People love to laugh. Well placed humour can make all the difference in the world in a speech or presentation. I'm not talking about doing a stand-up comedy routine; I'm talking about humour that is relevant to the subject being discussed and respectful of the audience. Lots of ideas here.
I — Interaction. Speakers can, and should, interact with their audience in a variety of ways. The goal is to "shrink the distance" between the speaker and the audience. How can you interact with the audience? There are several ways, including the following: (a) eye contact; (b) using the stage effectively; (c) exercises for the audience to do (usually in the context of longer presentations); (d) asking rhetorical questions: "How many times have you ever found yourself in this situation … ?"; (e) inviting volunteers to the stage, if appropriate; and (f) having a Question and Answer session at the end, or stating at the outset that people may interject with questions during the presentation, or checking in with the audience from time to time to make sure that everything is clear.
J — Jazz. This idea comes from Garr Reynolds, who wrote the international bestseller Presentation Zen mentioned above. "Jazz, of course, is about dialog and a kind of conversation with other musicians and a connection with the audience. Jazz is inspiring to me; it's lessons can be applied to other aspects of life, even the art of presentation." Read more about what Garr thinks that we can learn from jazz here and here.
K – Knowledge. Know your subject-matter. Know your audience. Cold.
L – Lectern. I think that the poor lectern has a bit of a bad rap these days as being a "barrier" between the speaker and the audience. There are times when it will be perfectly appropriate to use a lectern when speaking. Did the lectern create a barrier between Steve Jobs and his audience in this speech? I think not. Having said that, there is no question that stepping out from behind the lectern and using the entire stage will allow for greater interaction with the audience. Practice getting comfortable both with and without a lectern.
M – Malleability. Good speakers are able to adjust to changing circumstances. Sometimes the schedule is upset; sometimes there are technical glitches; sometimes you have to speak in a different location than originally planned. Learn to accept the unexpected as part of the job and be prepared to be flexible.
N — Notes. Sometimes you might need them. That's OK. Refer to them but do not read from them. Here are some tips for how to use them.
O – Oratory. The art of public speaking. It's about ancient history and modern times. It's about passion and persuasiveness and eloquence. It's about moving minds and winning hearts. It's about making a difference in the lives of those who listen to you.
P – Preparation and practice. Two indispensable habits for anyone delivering a speech or presentation. You must prepare so that you know the material on the day and are able to deliver it in a meaningful way to your audience. Being unprepared will not only make you more nervous, it is disrespectful to your audience. Practice is essential to becoming a better public speaker. It's like riding a bicycle: You can read all the books and watch all the videos about it, but until you actually do it (and until you actually take a few bumps along the way), you'll will never be able to improve.
Q – Quotations and questions. Well chosen quotations can add richness to your speech and credibility to your message. As for questions, welcome them. It means that the audience is interested in what you are saying. Prepare for them in advance. If you were hearing the presentation for the first time, what would you want to know? When you get a question from the audience, be sure to listen actively.
R — Rhetoric. The art of using language to communicate effectively. It involves three audience appeals: logos, pathos, and ethos, as well as the five canons of rhetoric: invention or discovery, arrangement, style, memory, and delivery. For more on rhetoric, click here. For more on logos, pathos and ethos, see this post.
S – Stories. Tell them. Lots of them. How many times have I said this? Plenty, like here and here and here.
T – Toastmasters and TED. Two great resources for public speakers wherever you are on the learning curve. (And by the way, everyone is on the learning curve – it never ends.) Toastmasters is a worldwide organization that gives you an opportunity to give prepared and impromptu speeches in front of other and get immediate feedback. TED is an incredible organization with a website that has hundreds of fascinating talks that can be viewed in their entirety. I have analyzed several TED Talks by people such as Ken Robinson, Shukla Bose, Philip Howard and Elif Şafak.
U – Uniqueness. Oscar Wilde said, "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." And he was right. When I was a young lawyer, I received some great advice from my mentors. They told me to study the other lawyers that I saw in court, but to never try to imitate them. The same holds true for public speaking. By all means watch other speakers and learn from them, but always be yourself. Always be unique.
V – Voice. Nobody wants to hear a speaker drone on in a monotone voice. Practice using inflection. Speak more loudly or softly at key points during the presentation. Speak fast enough to maintain a rhythm that keeps people's attention, but slow enough to allow them to understand. And don't forget to pause!
W — Words. The backbone of any speech. Choose them carefully. Craft your speeches with the same care that an artist would create a masterpiece. Words count. Choose ones that enhance your message. Speak fluidly and avoid "filler words" like "um" and "ah". More ideas on finding the right words can be found here and here.
X – Xerostomia. Abnormal dryness of the mouth resulting from decreased secretion of saliva. (Not bad for an "X" word, eh?) Remember to stay well hydrated for your presentations, especially the long ones. Also remember to eat properly beforehand. Here's one food that might be of more use than you thought.
Y — You. With preparation, practice and patience, anyone can become a more competent, more compelling public speaker. Even you. Especially you. Make the effort for yourself. You will receive much more in return, both professionally and personally.
Z – Zimmer. John Zimmer. (That's me.) Please keep reading this blog for more informative and entertaining tips on public speaking. But don't just read my blog. There are many great blogs out there that are packed with solid advice on how to improve your public speaking and presentation skills. You can find dozens of the best on AllTop and Speaking Pro Central.
Great piece, John. Creative, with good rhythm. I particularly like the "Z". Have you been saving that one all your life? 🙂

MONDAY, Oct. 29, 2012 (HealthDay News) -- Obese and overweight teens may be at higher risk for developing advanced kidney disease as adults, Israeli researchers report.
If, however, they lose weight their chances may be lowered, experts say.
"This study comes as close as one can to predicting that losing weight can reduce the risk of kidney disease," said Dr. Kirsten Johansen, a professor in the division of nephrology at the University of California, San Francisco.
Johansen, who wrote an accompanying editorial with the study, said that "this gives us one more reason we need to address childhood obesity and overweight, but it's hard to do."
There isn't an easy solution to the obesity epidemic, but if it can be halted, fewer people will develop heart disease, kidney disease and diabetes, she said.
Johansen, however, is optimistic. "The rate of obesity and overweight has gone up quickly in our kids. If we can turn this around, it could go down quickly as well," she said. "I'm not saying it's easy. It's easier to get kids to drink soda than eat vegetables."
The report was published online Oct. 29 in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
For the study, a team led by Dr. Asaf Vivante, of the Edmond and Lily Safra Children's Hospital, Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer, collected data on almost 1.2 million 17-year-olds who were examined before service in the Israeli military between January 1967 and December 1997. The researchers then linked these teens to the Israeli end-stage kidney disease registry.
Over 30 years of follow-up, they found more than 700 men and 160 women developed end-stage kidney disease.
Vivante's group estimated being overweight or obese and being treated for diabetes increased the risk of developing end-stage kidney disease. The risk was increased sixfold for those who were overweight and 19 times for those who were obese, the researchers reported.
They noted, as expected, the risk for kidney disease was significant for those who were diabetic. However, the risk was also significant for those who didn't have diabetes.
"Although the results for diabetic [end-stage kidney disease] were remarkable, with risks increasing sixfold and 19-fold among overweight and obese adolescents, respectively, our results also indicate a substantial association between elevated BMI and nondiabetic, end-stage renal disease," the authors wrote in the report. BMI, or body mass index, is a measurement that takes into account height and weight.
This was a study of association and can't really prove that overweight and obesity cause kidney failure, said Dr. David Katz, director of the Yale University Prevention Research Center, who was not involved with the study.
"Other factors related to lifestyle and/or environment might be the reason for both obesity and kidney failure," he said.
In this case, the findings suggest obesity is an important risk factor for end-stage kidney disease and that much of this may be accounted for by diabetes, for which obesity is a well-established risk factor, and which, in turn, is a major cause of kidney disease, Katz said.
"But, the study also indicates that obesity may lead to kidney failure even when diabetes does not develop," he added.
"I'm not sure we really need yet another reason to recognize epidemic obesity as an enormous threat to human health, and an enormous cost center. But this study suggests we have one," Katz said.
Another expert, Nancy Copperman, director of public health initiatives in the Office of Community Health at North Shore-LIJ Health System in Great Neck, N.Y., said that "obesity is not cosmetic."
"Obesity has health consequences," she added. "We need to take it seriously."

Is This Yours? Search Midway Atoll's Lost & Found For Your Lost Plastic Stuff
While visiting Midway with the Oceanic Society, there was one past-time everyone enthusiastically participated in: beach combing.
There wasn't much of a choice. The island is littered with an incredible amount of plastic debris, almost none of which actually originated from the island but rather washed up on shore after floating in the Pacific ocean for who knows how long.
Walking around and finding tons (literally) of household items, fishing gear, and toys it occurred to me that Midway is kind of like a giant Lost & Found. While many plastic pieces are small and turn the white sands of the beaches into a rainbow-speckled mess, many pieces are still identifiable. And the bits and pieces are everywhere, even in the nests of albatross chicks, ending up here most likely because a parent brought it back as food for either its current or past chicks.
So what is to be done about getting all this junk off of Midway? Well, the most basic solution is that we take ownership of what we've contributed to this trash pile. What plastic is yours? Do you recognize any of these things?
Could that be the hair brush you tossed when some of the bristles broke? Many things that are thrown "away" end up in the ocean, and "away" ends up being not the local landfill but a beach or waterway. Maybe that's your toothbrush? Or did you drop that plastic lighter? An incredible number of plastic lighters end up in albatross stomachs because they think they're squid. Maybe you should claim your plastic lighter quickly, or better yet, buy a refillable one.
Did you loose a shoe? It's here on Midway! You can pick it up from the beach and you'll have your pair of running shoes mated once again.
Do you recognize this broom as yours? Seems it somehow ended up washed up on Midway.
I know someone is missing this light bulb. It made it all the way from your house to the middle of the pacific ocean, where it somehow managed to get over the emergent coral reef intact, and wash up on the beach. I'm sure you want this miracle bulb back!
How about that missing piece to your board game? This little pig has traveled far and wide, and I'm sure you need it back.
In all seriousness, the problem of plastic is huge. Almost unfathomably huge. To know that this tiny atoll in the middle of the Pacific ocean is receiving as much waste on its shores as a beach in a more densely inhabited part of the world may receive, is to know that the problem truly is global. There is practically no part of the world where our plastic junk hasn't marred in some way.
Taking ownership of our things -- thinking about where it may end up and taking responsibility for that -- is the root solution to the problem. It isn't about finding new forms of plastic that degrade, nor is it about cleaning up what is already out there which is essentially an impossible task. It is about stopping the flow at the source: Us.
The next time you throw something out, think about where it will end up. There is a real possibility it could end up in the belly of an endangered species or washed up on the shore of what once was a paradise.
If you'd like to take part in an expedition to Midway or other atolls, check out the trips offered by the conservation group Oceanic Society. It's ecotourism at its best!

One thing that amazes me is that the most developers are not familiar with strong cryptography. In my career, I've seen all sort of mistakes that lead to leaked data, guessable passwords, unfortunate disclosures, and worse. The nice thing is, you don't have to understand the ridiculously complex math behind the algorithms, you only have to know the rules for using them correctly. By the end of this series, my goal is to de-mystify the magic, so you can start using the primitives in your code right away!
But first, when I say Strong Cryptography, what the hell am I referring to anyway?
Strong cryptography or cryptographically strong are general terms applied cryptographic systems or components that are considered highly resistant to cryptanalysis.
So Strong Cryptography is not some esoteric concept you are not privy to: Strong Cryptography is simply a set of definitions and algorithms that have been reviewed by experts, secret government agencies, and third-party organizations and found to be hard to break.
One thing I've seen repeatedly done is that developer 'invents' a cryptography scheme for a particular purpose. Here's the thing, cryptography is thousands of years old. If you've ever 'invented' your own way to 'encrypt' data, chances are you've just re-invented something that has been discovered thousandsof years ago. If you want to avoid the mistakes that WEP made with wireless, Microsoft did with the XBox, or Sony made with the PS3, this blog series should help you avoid embarrassment, AND give you something impressive to say at the next cocktail party.
Finally, I just wanted to mention this is actually a very personal subject that I have a long history with. I found my first need for cryptography was passing notes to my friends as we played "Spies�? in the neighborhood and needed to keep the locations of our secret forts safe. Unfortunately, my single letter substitution cipher must have been broken by some whiz kid as our treehouse was destroyed that summer… After reading Alvin's Secret Code, we then created 2-3 sets of Caesar wheels and never lost a secret fort again!

NASHVILLE (AP) — The mayors of Nashville, Memphis, Shelby County, Knoxville and Knox County are challenging their local business community to become more energy efficient, sustainable and competitive.
Each city and county will provide with resources to help businesses plan an energy-efficiency project.
Pathway Lending, a state program that helps provide loans for energy efficient investments, said in a news release it is providing $10 million for each of the three areas to finance these projects.
Nashville Mayor Karl Dean will announce details of the program on Friday, which is the first of its kind offered to Nashville businesses.

Pa. braces for gov't shutdown; parks would close
The threat of a partial government shutdown loomed over Pennsylvania on Friday, with national parks announcing they will close unless the budget impasse in Washington is resolved and tens of thousands of federal workers who live and work in the state facing the prospect of furlough.
The Democratic-led Senate approved legislation that would prevent government agencies from shutting their doors next week, but it faced an uncertain fate in the GOP-controlled House. Pennsylvania's senators voted along party lines, with Democrat Bob Casey supporting the temporary funding measure and his Republican counterpart, Pat Toomey, voting against.
As Congress prepared to work through the weekend, state officials said they were confident that Pennsylvania could weather a partial, temporary shutdown of the federal government.
"We project that we're going to have enough money on hand to continue our spending on federal programs without interruption. We will obviously keep an eye on what's going on in Washington as well as our cash position with respect to those federal programs," said Jay Pagni, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania budget office.
State tax collections, though, could take a hit. Federal employees who are furloughed under a shutdown typically receive back pay, but there's no guarantee that would happen this time, according to a Congressional Research Service report released this week. Pennsylvania counts about 71,000 federal employees.
"We can't do any modeling until we know how many people (would be told to stay home), where they are, what functions they perform, how long the impacts are going to be. We don't have any of that detail at this point," said Elizabeth Brassell of the state Department of Revenue.
A shutdown would most immediately be visible at popular national parks like Philadelphia's Independence National Historical Park, home of the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and other famous landmarks that would be closed to visitors for the duration. About 3.5 million people visit the park each year.
"Day use visitors will be instructed to leave the park immediately," said a contingency plan released by the National Park Service on Friday.
Other federal agencies were still updating their shutdown plans.
The head of the Environmental Protection Agency has said the agency will essentially stop functioning come Tuesday, though a spokeswoman for the EPA's regional office in Philadelphia declined comment on what a shutdown would mean for environmental enforcement, toxic waste cleanup and other EPA programs in Pennsylvania.
Under a partial shutdown, government functions that involve national security, protection of life and property, and benefits payments under entitlement programs like Social Security would continue.
Toomey said he's hopeful that Congress will ultimately avoid a shutdown. But Pittsburgh-based U.S. Attorney David Hickton was concerned enough about the possibility Friday that he canceled a law enforcement conference scheduled for next week.
"We have no choice," Hickton said in a statement. "The negative impact that budget issues and a potential shutdown are having on law enforcement and public safety is real."

- What's Included
This simple and easy, low cost solution for sensor based lighting/appliance control, is a great way to bring automation into your home. Avoid the frustration of having lights left on in areas like bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms (commonly leaving with your hands full), closets, garages, or any room children frequently enter. Lutron has created an appealing and reliable sensor based in-wall control perfect for those who do not want to fuss with difficult programming, and do not want to worry about which type of bulb will be compatible with their switch. Use this device with incandescent, halogen, CFLs, LEDs, magnetic low voltage, electronic low voltage, and linear fluorescents. This compatibility simplifies the selection process while purchasing new bulbs and allows you to use whatever is available if you don't have an extra of your favorite, when it burns out. This feature also allows you to remain worry free when it comes to government regulations on lighting; with this switch, you will be able to use whatever is suggested.
Occupancy and Vacancy sensors save energy by performing two different functions. Occupancy sensors will automatically turn the attached load "On" when motion is detected, and "Off" when the room is no longer occupied; these are capable of being configured for Occupancy or vacancy mode. Vacancy sensors will automatically turn the attached load "Off" when the room is no longer occupied, but the load must be turned "On" manually; these have no other options for operation.
Also avialable in: White, Light Almond, and Ivory.
For lower wattage single pole applications see the Maestro 250-Watt Vacancy Sensor available in White, Ivory, Almond, and Light Almond.
The Clean look and feel of these Maestro Sensors offer seamless integration with the other Maestro controls and easily match existing home themes. The sleek and unobtrusive built-in Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor is very compact, overcoming objections with the typical bulky sensor. Using Lutron's advanced XCT technology, this sensor provides the most reliable On/Off performance up to 30 feet. No one sensor can offer the same percentage of reliability while still providing such a great look. XCT technology will eliminate interference created with background motion, helping to avoid false triggers that will turn the lights 'On" unnecessarily. False triggering of the "On" function is also avoided by Ambient Light Detection. This photo cell feature will override the detection of motion if there is enough ambient light already available. False triggers that can turn the lights "Off" unnecessarily are avoided through Fine Motion Detection. This feature determines whether the room is truly unoccupied by noticing the slightest movements, even while the user is sitting.

Believe it or not Dajarra was once the largest trucking depot in the world. Dajarra is now a quiet, laid back town in the far north of Outback Queensland. The older people of the area who remember Dajarra's heyday say that the area trucked more cattle than Texas in the United States of America. Drovers would bring cattle from as far away as Western Australia to put them on the train at Dajarra. Then came the road trains and soon the railway was turned into just a memory.
The town also has a rich aboriginal heritage and is home to aboriginal tribes from around the Diamantina River, the Gulf and the Northern Territory. The old culture is upheld here. The aboriginal language is taught at the school by a couple of elders and one local elder shows the children how to make boomerangs, what wood to use and what timber is best for didgeridoos. They still know where to find the bush foods and the 'bush lollies' on the gidyea trees after rain, berries, wild oranges at Christmas and wild bananas on the road to Mount Isa.

We have decided after many years to bring an end to A Genuine Freakshow.
Our reasons are three fold: financial (we haven't got any money), geographical (we now live further away from each other than we did before) and musical (less of this than the previous two).
First of all we would like to thank everyone who has ever come to one of our gigs, bought a record or a tee shirt (or an Ultimate Fighting Combo!). You have quite literally kept this band going for longer than we thought was possible, so thank you.
We of course want to thank all of our families and friends who have supported us and put up with our lengthy absences, last minute cancellations and us turning up at their doors at 2 am with another 7 people to house. We are aware this has not always gone down well!
We would also like to thank the following people who have been instrumental in our (mis)adventures: Erik Nielsen Jordan Fish Sarah Thirtle Linda Serck Tom Robinson Sarah Sheppard Mike Hunter Tim Sidwell Dave Maul Pete Lambrou Ben Hobbs Sam Horder
There are also a few bands who we met along the way that have been unbelievably talented whilst also being the nicest of folk: Cats and Cats and Cats Fell City Girl The Wutars Spring Offensive Arthur Rigby and the Baskervylles
Anyways, thanks for everything, we'll see you in another life brother.
Tim, Simon, Jack, John, Jon, Mel, Marianne

For just $85, your pet rock memories from childhood can come back to life -- all thanks to Nordstrom.
The department store recently added a "unique rock" or "medium wrapped leather stone," to its website. Made by Los-Angeles based company Made Solid, the stone was handmade by artist Peter Maxwell.
Some wondered whether the item was a real product or not.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"A paperweight? A conversation piece? A work of art? It's up to you," an ad on Nordstrom's website reads.
People took to social media, as well as the comments section of the website to poke fun at the stone.

Blame Apple. The success of high-quality, economically priced options on their App Store proved gamers might willingly take their gaming to a nontraditional platform…at least temporarily. A tablet and a smart phone suddenly, unexpectedly, entered the console wars. That got some wondering if $60 titles with budgets north of $100 million could survive as a business model against an onslaught of 99-cent mega-hits made for $140,000 by four people…such as Angry Birds, reportedly one of the most profitable games in human history.
And now we've seen how the big three — Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony — decided to respond. Imitation, flattery, and prayer all play their parts.
Each company co-opted the tablet platform in a way that says a lot about them and their corporate philosophy. None, as yet, seems willing to give up on their established price-points, concentrating instead on value-added propositions. All want to convince you that playing a game on one screen won't cut it anymore. But the actual value added by these tactics depends a lot on what gamers want and expect from their games.
Nintendo's GamePad
What is it? A new tablet-like controller for Nintendo's incoming Wii U console, featuring all the buttons, triggers, and analog sticks a hardcore device could possibly want…plus a reactive touchscreen in the middle.
Advantages: The GamePad lets Nintendo evolve the narrative it started with the Wii…namely that it's not just a matter of what games you play, but how you play them. Shooter X might release on every console, but Nintendo wants you to believe the definitive edition only happens on the Wii U due to the unique gameplay options a second, interactive screen offers. It's also a nice touch that you can play Wii U games on the GamePad without needing a television. But the not-so-secret weapon boils down to asymmetric gameplay, where up to four people run through a game while a fifth on the GamePad plays the same game from a vastly different perspective, possibly with very different goals.
Downside: Reactive touch screens carry a risk; they work well with a stylus (included with the GamePad), but less well with fingers. Our time handling GamePads at various events seems to back that up, though few games rely heavily on touch controls so far. Nevertheless, those "definitive" experiences feel pretty ill-defined. Batman: Arkham City's GamePad-specific tricks feel obligatory in the same way most third-party games' motion controls did back on the Wii. Only Ubisoft's ZombiU, specifically and exclusively designed for the Wii U, feels natural. Though as a game, it might have other issues.
It also recently came out that Nintendo balked at adding a second screen, and for good reason. The extra hardware will likely bump the Wii U into the same price bracket as other gaming consoles. So either Nintendo loses their lower-than-the-rest price point, or they take a loss on every console sold…something they generally don't do.
Microsoft's Xbox SmartGlass
What is it? An app that gives you an enhanced experience with your games. You might use it to call up info on enemies or landmarks you see in-game, or to contact friends online.
Advantages: Easy integration. Just like Windows, SmartGlass works with the mobile devices you already own — laptop, tablet, smart phone — and you can bet it'll come pre-loaded on every Windows 8 smart phone when they become available. We've already seen Xbox Live running on a tablet in real time, avatar and all. SmartGlass will give your games a presence on your mobile platforms as well…in spirit, at least. Overall, it's a staggeringly easy way to throw together a second-screen solution, all while making sure Microsoft doesn't get into the high-risk hardware-manufacturing business.
Downside: They don't get the high rewards, either. Completists, superfans, and lore hounds might take an interest in what SmartGlass offers, but its offerings feel disposable to anyone else. By comparison, the planned app supporting Ubisoft's upcoming, open-world adventure game Watch Dogs will let you interact with the game world in real time and even let you mess with your friends' games, whatever console they're playing on. Nothing announced for SmartGlass sounds remotely as ambitious. And unless Microsoft charges for the app or throws in a number of annoying ads, it's tough to see how they monetize SmartGlass. It's even tougher to imagine anyone paying for it.
Sony's PlayStation Vita
What is it? Oh, just a handheld gaming device Sony released last winter. It's really quite good, but hasn't found its footing in the marketplace.
Advantages: The innovation company invented something. The software people made a program. Sony does hardware. Their PS Vita handheld gaming device already mimics a full console experience fairly well, but with the addition of Cross-Play, the line blurs even more. A Vita user can now join a multiplayer match with people on a PlayStation 3. It's only confirmed for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale so far, but with Call of Duty coming to Vita, the possibilities stack up fast. You can go gunning with your friends in your console games while away from home. That's major. And the also-new Cross-Controller functions turn the Vita into a GamePad. Surprise, Nintendo.
Judging by the IR port on the original PlayStation Portable, Sony's wanted to do all this for a long, long time. Technology (and the cloud) finally caught up. If Cross-Play takes off, it will boost the Vita's fortunes, too…not a bad side effect.
Downside: The Vita retails for $250. Attractive bundles aside, you can get a perfectly good iPhone or Xbox 360 console for less. It's also likely that Sony wants you to double-dip those game purchases…one All-Stars for your PS3, one for your Vita. That's a whole lot of money they expect you to spend. Particularly since, with only All-Stars confirmed for Cross-Play and only Little Big Planet 2 downloadable content (which you have to purchase in addition to the base game) named for Cross-Controller play, Sony's given us more speculation than reasons to buy in.
So nobody's perfect…but a lot depends on the developers, the games they create, and how much they apply to that second screen. If real thought and imagination goes into the application of that second screen, great things can result even working within each format's limitations. A throwaway approach will result in throwaway feature. Nobody wants that. It really all depends on whether developers treat that second screen like an advantage or an obligation.

Research in Motion announced Thursday that it plans to eliminate as many as 5,000 jobs.
The struggling smartphone-maker also announced that devices running the BlackBerry 10 operating system won't be ready on time as planned.
Instead they would be released in the first quarter of 2014.
The double whammy comes following a string of bad news for the the Canadian company as it has struggled to compete with the likes of Apple and Google, whose iOS and Android-powered devices have cut RIM's market share.
In comparison, RIM shipped 7.8 million BlackBerry devices this quarter to Apple's 22.7 million iPhones.
Its no wonder why revenue has been down at the company.
RIM said revenue for the past three months ending in early June was $2.8 billion, which fell short of what Wall Street was expecting.

Meet the men who are crucified on Good Friday
On Good Friday in the Philippines, men will whip their backs until they're bloody and allow themselves to be crucified.
It's a decades-old practice that takes place predominantly in Pampanga province by devout Catholics as a penance or to give thanks to God.
I went there to meet the people who take part in this intense experience.
Rolando Ocampo, 56, has been crucified every year since 1990 as a sign of his gratitude to God. He says God miraculously saved his wife from a difficult child birth in that year.
Ocampo prepares for his crucifixion for days in advance. He spends time alone and engages in deep meditation before the day on which he will share in Christ's suffering.
The event is a busy and chaotic affair. In the heat, smells of dust, sweat and blood mix uncomfortably. It all ends at 3 p.m., the time Jesus Christ is believed to have died on the cross.
Ruben Enage, 53, has been crucified 24 times since he survived a near-fatal fall from a three-story advertising billboard in 1986. Here, he rests after falling during the annual Cenaculo on the passion of Jesus Christ.
Though nails are sanitized and medical personnel are on hand to tend to the participants after their ordeal, there are concerns about the risk of infection.
Nevertheless, dozens of men and some women take part in this annual event.
Participants often pray during their ordeal, which they say helps them overcome the pain. After a few minutes, they're lowered again and given medical treatment.
The wounds can take two weeks to heal, but the penitents consider the suffering a small price to give thanks to God.
Many also flagellate themselves while walking barefoot on baking hot roads in processions lasting hours, in another demonstration of connection to Jesus Christ.
After several hours of whipping his own back, and now bloodied and scarred, a man stops to pray.
Some have described the act of self-flagellation and crucifixion as crazy. But I learned that local beliefs are strongly anchored in personal relationships with God. No amount of persuasion can break the resolve.
Ocampo says that after his crucifixion, "Life goes on."
Getting there
From Ninoy Aquino International Airport, head to the Araneta-Cubao bus terminal in Quezon City. Take any bus heading to San Fernando-Dau junction (PHP 100 per person (US$2.30).
San Fernando City, Pampanga is 75 kilometers north of the capital Manila through the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX). At the San Fernando junction, take a jeepney to the poblacion (PHP 8 (US$0.20), then take a pedicab or foot-pedaled tricycle to San Pedro Cutud.
Drivers will haggle for a fare, but one should not pay more than PHP20 (US$0.47) per person.

text: Thursday, September 15, 2011 New in the Literature: Shoulder Pain (J Shoulder Elbow Surg. 2011 Sep 1 [Epub ahead of print]) Therapeutic exercise is an effective intervention for the treatment of painful shoulder conditions; however, subsequent research is necessary for translation into clinical practice, say authors of a meta-analysis published online in Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery. The authors searched Medline via Ovid, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from 1997 through March 2011. Randomized controlled trials comparing physical therapist-prescribed exercises against any other type of intervention were included. Five separate reviewers qualitatively evaluated the articles using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale. Data from included studies were extracted and synthesized with respect to the primary outcomes of range of motion (ROM), pain, and function. Individual effect sizes were calculated with a standard formula, and overall effect was calculated by use of random- and fixed-effects models. Of the 19 articles that were qualitatively reviewed, 17 achieved the criterion of 6 or better on the Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale. Significant heterogeneity in reporting among included studies limited quantitative assessment. Overall, therapeutic exercise has a positive effect on pain and function above all other interventions. The findings for ROM were inconclusive.

Hi it's Megan from Brassy Apple. We love a project that sews up quickly with a big impact. It's easy to add a pop of color and comfort to your camera strap with a custom slipcover!
1 Charm Pack – Hunky Dory by Chez Moi
Fusible Fleece
Step 1: Measure the length and width of your camera strap. Our camera strap measures 22 inches long and is 1.5″ wide. Choose 5 different squares of fabric from the charm pack. Sew the squares end to end with a 1/4″ seam allowance. This should leave about 1/2″ allowance to turn under on each end. Press seams flat.
Step 2: According to package directions, apply the fusible fleece to the the fabric leaving 1/4″ bare on each end. (see photos below)
Optional: To give your slipcover a quilted look, sew straight stitch lines done the entire piece. Starting about 1″ in from the edge, sew your first stitch line. Use your presser foot as a spacing guide and continue across the strap. Stop about 1″ from the opposite edge.
Step 3: Fold the fabric back on each end, press and/or pin in place, and stitch closed.
Step 4: Fold the strap lengthwise with right sides together and sew down the long side using a 1/2″ seam allowance. This will create a tube with the ends left open. Trim excess.
Step 5: Turn right side out and press flat with the seam down the middle of the underside.
Thread your camera strap through and wear your camera with style! Don't forget to change out the strap with the seasons, holidays or as your heart desires!
If using 5 charm pack squares per strap, then one charm pack will yield 8 different, colorful camera strap slipcovers. These are perfect to give as gifts to friends, family and your favorite photographer!

I heard a rumor that Steve Lavalee is dead???? Hung himself??????
There are some other things that have been circulating about it that I just won't repeat.
Anyone else hearing this???
Moderator: Bill Glasheen
Legendary Syracuse area Karate and Mixed Martial Arts instruction Steve Lavallee was found dead at his home in Florida this morning, an apparent victim of a suicide. Onondaga County Sheriff Kevin Walsh confirms his department was notified of Lavallee's death by the Fort Lauderdale police. The two departments had worked together on an investigation into Lavallee a few months ago. The sheriff would not say what the investigation concerned.
Today Kyoshi LaVallee passed away.
The South Florida USA Black Belt Champions Staff
Fort Lauderdale, Fla. -- Steve LaVallee, 55, a master karate instructor who founded martial arts schools across Onondaga County, committed suicide today in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., where he resided, authorities said.
LaVallee, the founder and chief master instructor at LaVallee's USA Black Belt Champions, lived in Liverpool before moving to Florida where his school had its headquarters, according to public records.
He was being investigated by Fort Lauderdale police on abuse charges, according to Onondaga County Sheriff Kevin Walsh. The Florida police department contacted Onondaga County sheriff's deputies a few months ago as part of the investigation, but Walsh said there was nothing here that could be prosecuted.

I got the opportunity to visit these 6 weeks old pups so I did. No one beleived I could do it without one of the puppies beeing mine when I left. But I was hard as a rock ;) I just wanted to try it out, I wanted to know how I felt. They were very happy and so very cute, both the adults and the 6-week-olds. But I still just want Morran. I'll have to wait a bit longer. But I wouldn't mind borrow them for a day or two - all of them :)

Hi Camilla - I started "dating" dogs and puppies a few months after Darby died in December. I hung out with some homeless people and held some of their puppies. I went to adoptions and our local shelter. I even had a home visit with one, but I couldn't "go all the way." I didn't want him to spend the night and shortly after he left, I couldn't even remember his face. Then a month ago it was like being shot out of a cannon. I saw my dog online and I just new he was my dog. He had a very terrible wound (it turned out there was a 6" stick inside him no one knew about), and a very traumatic experience caring for him. But there was no question he was mine. It is very strange and I didn't believe it could happen. I still miss Darby desperately. I think about him every day. But it is possible to mourn the first dog and love the second one.
3 words of advice:
1.) go at your own pace
2.) think of the exact traits you are looking for in a dog, even if they are different from the dog you had (this was hard for me because it felt disloyal)
3.) know that every dog you meet will bring you closer to your dog.
Here is the story of how I met my dog and how I helped him heal while he did the same for me.
Sending support for your journey.
Best, Moira

Camilla I understand you want Morran. She was not only a dog, she is a soul. Nobody knows where is she now, but I feel she will reborn as a human after such happy life with you...
