"I'm always up for breaking records; it just depends on what kind of mood the weights are in!" – Connor Dantzler, teen World and Pan-American powerlifting champion.
I discovered powerlifting completely by accident. My dad and I were sitting in front of the computer one evening, doing a web search for the next judo nationals. I was ten at the time, and already a competitive junior in the martial arts. Somehow, a web page with information about powerlifting events popped onto the screen. We casually studied it for a moment, and learned that the sport included meets for kids as well as adults. I was familiar with lifting, because I had used light free weights as a part of my strength training for judo. My dad and I traded grins, as if to say, "Wouldn't it be fun to try that?"
About a month later, on a whim, I entered my first powerlifting meet. It was the Maryland State Championships. I've said before that life isn't just about watching others; it's about trying new things for yourself. When I arrived at the event I felt excited, anxious, and a bit intimidated. It took a while to get used to warming up with so many monstrous-looking guys in the gym! But there were also average looking men and women competing. Lots of kids were lifting, too. It was a day unlike any other sports event. My lifting form wasn't great, but I did well enough to win my age group. I was hooked on powerlifting from that point on. Besides, the trophies looked awesome!
A full powerlifting meet consists of three events: the squat, the bench press, and the deadlift. An ironman competition combines the total weight lifted from just the bench press and deadlift. Some meets also add an optional strict curl event. Powerlifters don't actually snatch and press the bar over their heads. That's a related sport called weightlifting.
There are three judges positioned around the lifter on the platform. They are there to insure that each athlete uses proper form. They want us to succeed, but with safety and control. If a lifter fails to follow the head judge's commands to "lift" or "rack" the bar, or if he breaks form during the attempt, then the judges will give the lifter three red lights. As a powerlifter, you want to see three white lights pop on behind you after a lift. That means you can successfully move on to the next round. Each lifter gets three attempts at each event. If a contestant fails to advance from the bench press, for example, then he won't have a combined total for a full meet, and is automatically disqualified from the remaining events. Lifters call this bombing out!
Powerlifting is an encouraging, confidence-building sport. The meets are family-friendly, and supporters cheer loudly for each athlete. Folks offer me a "high five" or a handshake when I come down from the lifting platform, whether I win that round or not. I get such positive energy from the crowd. Everyone watching wants me to be successful. Nobody cheers for the weight to just sit there! When I first started competing, some of the adult lifters would shout, "Go, little man!" For me, the competition is really with myself (and the weight). I try to better my performance with each attempt.
I don't worry about how much others around me can lift. I've seen a few lifters try to push themselves beyond safe limits, and drop the weights. The people who risk injury are those who become too concerned with impressing other athletes in the gym. Big guys with big egos who attempt too much weight on their opening lift can disqualify themselves from the tournament. It's rare for someone at a meet to get hurt, though. Most powerlifters are disciplined athletes, and really understand their bodies.
Once, I was the very first lifter called to the platform at a big international meet. When the judges asked me how much weight I wanted to open with, it didn't occur to me that this tournament might be using the metric system. The officials loaded the bar with kilograms, rather than pounds! So the weight was really 2.2 times the amount that I was expecting to lift. Oops! I had been so preoccupied with staying loose that I didn't even check the weight before stepping onto the platform. I was actually half-way through attempting the squat before I figured out that something was really wrong. Fortunately, the spotters caught my bar, and helped me get it back into the rack. So much for round one.
Now that I've scared the parents who are reading this, know that mishaps are rare, and that there are many potential benefits from this sport. Powerlifting can help school kids and teens safely develop strength in basic muscle groups, like legs, back, the arms and chest. This can improve posture, confidence, and their performance in other physical activities. Weight training is also an effective way to burn fat. Moms, relax, your girls won't grow freakish muscles from lifting, but they will get stronger. I've seen tiny cheerleaders win big at national powerlifting meets!
To prepare for a meet, I like to use a variety of workouts, including aerobics. My local health club is very supportive, and encourages families to train together. I focus on the importance of good form and breathing while training with weights. Good technique and control are the keys. Jerking or dropping the weights can lead to sore muscles and injuries. It's important to have a good training partner who can spot as well as encourage you to do your best. For kids, this means adult supervision. Most fitness clubs have qualified trainers to help you, as well. We've all seen the guy in the gym who bangs two dumbbells loudly together, then throws them onto the floor when his set is done. Clanging the weights just says, "Look at me, I have no control!" Leaving them laying around for someone else to clean up reveals an insecurity and shows a lack of respect for the gym.
When I was eleven, a producer from the Tony Danza Show invited me to New York to be on television with Tony. My family was very excited about the trip. I was then asked if I wouldn't mind trying to break my world deadlift record for the audience while I was there. Sure, fine. At least there wasn't going to be any pressure or anything!
The morning of the show, we arrived at the studio and checked the barbell and weights on the set. Once the show started, my dad and I waited backstage, while the rest of my family found their seats with the studio audience. My dad quietly asked the director when the show would be aired, so that we could tape it at home. He smiled at me and whispered, "This show is live!"
After recovering from that bit of news, I realized that something else had been overlooked: there was nothing for me to warm up with. At most powerlifting meets the competitors have a separate gym full of weights for prepping. I quickly grabbed a couple of heavy sand bags resting behind the curtains. A moment later, I was ushered onto the stage in front of millions of viewers. My heart was pounding! The studio audience was great, though, and I broke my world deadlift record for them. It turned out to be another great family adventure, and I have the sport of powerlifting to thank for it.

The default calculator from Ubuntu 10.04 was perfect. It was simple, yet powerful. It had memory locations and when you switched between Hexadecimal and Decimal the number in the display changed to represent the value in the new base.
The Ubuntu 12.04 default calculator does not have a memory function, and the display does not change when you change base.
Is there a way to install the old calculator application, or is there an alternative that is similar?

Castiglione, Baldassare
Castiglione, Baldassare
Born Dec. 6, 1478, in Casatico, near Mantua; died Feb. 2, 1529, in Toledo, Spain. Italian writer.
Castiglione's best-known work is The Courtier (books 1–4, 1528), a treatise in dialogue form. In the spirit of late humanism, Castiglione enumerated the qualities of the ideal courtier, or, in a broader sense, of the well-brought-up, broadly educated man with a developed personality. This ideal was current throughout Europe in the 16th and early 17th centuries and was reflected in literature.

Carlucci's Bakery is a family-owned and operated business that's been a cornerstone of the Caputo's Pioneer Marketplace since it opened November 2001. Since then we have been consistently recognized both locally and nationally as one of the best bakery's in the area, receiving the "Best Bakery in Salt Lake 2009 Award" from City Weekly. We have also been recognized in the New York Times, 36 hours in Salt Lake City article for our tomato basil soup. Just to name a few.
Carlucci's was named in honor of our grandmother, who still visits the bakery Saturday afternoons.

Baba's Falafel works chickpea magic
I'm a falafel nut, which means I'm often disappointed. Too often the fried knobs of ground chickpeas, spices and herbs comes from a box. Too often they are greasy, or too crunchy, or too soft. The pitas nestling them are dry, the hummus is manufactured in Peoria and comes from a tub, the tahini sauce is insipid.
Still, I scarf 'em.
But now I've got Baba's Falafel, a food cart that roams around the city but sets up shop at Civic Center every Tuesday for that park's twice-weekly smorgasbord of roving food vendors.
Dalia Hannah and Christopher Paul make some of the best falafel sandwiches I've had in Colorado. I'll visit them often.

The Bearracks
The Bearracks is a social networking startup that targets the bear community - a masculine subgroup of gay men. We're building the first fun, community-driven site (and mobile apps) that are inclusive of the whole bear universe in the US and around the world.
Gay bears and cubs - a masculine subgroup of the gay community are the target. They will be using this product on their smartphones and the web to socially network with each other.
Read more about the bear community at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear_(gay_culture)
The logo should be a combination of an iconic graphic and text.
The graphic image we had most in mind was a pair of slightly rumpled camouflage cargo shorts, but we're open to masculine/army imagery that fits with the "pun" of the product's name (like army barracks)...ideas like dog tags, aviator sunglasses, etc. all work - but we are open minded.
We like a "bubbly" or Japanese pop-art sensibility, and something that is both masculine and playful would be ideal.
The gay bear community has a flag with a color palette that is relatively well-known (we've attached it to this request). Please try to avoid using the bear claw (you'll see it in the flag) as part of the logo.
The output should include an iphone app icon (so consider a scaled down version of the graphic without text), and a full logo (graphic and word mark) for web and in-app usage.

The QTvan is the perfect trailer for those who ride mobility scooters. Okay fine, those who ride electric scooters probably don't need a trailer but what if I told you the trailer fit a full size bed, 19-inch TV, a mini mini bar and follows you wherever you go? Yeah, I'd be sold too.
It costs a little over 9 grand and was made by the Environmental Transport Association (ETA) in Britain to give people who use electric scooters a hideaway to rest in case their scooters break down. I'm being completely serious! Here's what they said:
"An increasing number of people rely on mobility scooters, but if you develop a fault or run out of battery power and don't have breakdown cover – or a tiny caravan in tow – your only options are to push something that weighs the equivalent of two men all the way home or call on a relative with a large car."
All I know is I love how there's a drink cabinet in there. The Brits who made this got their priorities straight: Bed, TV and dranks. What's more to life? [ETA via NOTCOT]

Teva at Empire Shoes
In 1984, a young Grand Canyon river guide revolutionized the footwear industry when he created the world's first sports sandal. This idea soon spawned a brand, and the new adventure of Teva® was born.
It's been 25 years since Teva took the first step into the Grand Canyon, and not a moment has gone by that Teva® (that's "teh'-vah," not "tee-vah") hasn't been hard at work developing products that enable and encourage your adventure. Of course, given Teva's heritage, their obsession with water, and their passion for identifying and enhancing the areas in which water effects an adventure. To Teva, water presents a paradox. It is the source of a year-round playground, but it simultaneously poses a year-round problem. Anyone who has ever slipped on a patch of ice or been forced to deal with soaking wet socks can attest to this duality.
Essentially, Teva® has two fundamental responsibilities: to play and to protect. Teva play in the water, but Teva also sees the need to be protected from it. Teva's responsibility is to manage this delicate balance, so you can go forth without reservation. Armed with a quarter-century worth of knowledge and technology, Teva is dedicated to developing products that strike this balance to deliver the most out of your adventures.
Empire Shoes is an authorized Teva dealer.

Document Type
Publication Date
In 1974 Sir Leslie Scarman, in delivering the twenty-second Hamlyn lecture, proposed a written Bill of Rights for the United Kingdom that would be entrenched' and hence binding on Parliament even without a written constitution. (Entrenchment is sometimes used to describe a process whereby an Act of Parliament incorporates a Bill of Rights but provides that any subsequent legislation will be deemed to be in compliance with that Bill unless it clearly manifests a contrary intention.) The controversy and constitutional commentary surrounding Scarman's proposal in the 1970s continues to have relevance for the nature of the British constitution. Historically and still today theoretically, the unwritten British constitution rests on the principle of parliamentary sovereignty and the implication that Acts of Parliament are not subject to judicial review and that judges must adhere to the last expression of Parliament. This article suggests that entrenchment is not possible because it creates fundamental law by an Act of Parliament, something that for all its authority Parliament cannot do. Entrenchment attempts to alter fundamentally the structure of government without a corresponding change in constitutional premises. Proponents of entrenchment seek to achieve constitutional change without discarding the traditional theory of parliamentary sovereignty. Obviously, constitutional reforms would fare better if they were compatible with the orthodoxy associated with A.V. Dicey's view of the British constitution, that the last expression of Parliament is the supreme law of the land. Unfortunately the essence of fundamental law and the nature of entrenchment force a conflict between theory and reform. Proponents of entrenchment advanced numerous arguments and precedents supposedly offering constitutional justification, seeking to reconcile the theoretical demands and implications of parliamentary sovereignty with entrenchment. Entrenchment, however characterized, involves a fundamental alteration of the legal and political order. An entrenched provision would serve the same function as a written constitution: law that the legislature could not change save by specified amendment. As fundamental law it must derive its existence from the ultimate source of legitimate authority--those governed--and not simply by legislative fiat. For entrenchment to be effective requires some form of explicit consultation with the people. The passage of the Human Rights Act of 1998 and the creation of a Supreme Court for the United Kingdom that began operating in 2009 have raised the specter of judicial review and challenges Britain's constitutional legacy of parliamentary sovereignty. The Human Rights Act was passed to rectify the oddity that a British subject whose rights under the European Convention of Human Rights were being violated could not get legal redress in a British court, but had to seek relief from the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. The Act requires judges to interpret all legislation as compatible with the Convention to the extent possible. If the legislation cannot be interpreted consisted with the Convention then the courts may issue 'a declaration of incompatibility,' but the statute remains in force until and unless Parliament decides to alter the statute. Thus, parliamentary sovereignty remains theoretically intact. The tensions and ongoing debate over the nature of the British constitution reflect the desire to place human rights and liberties beyond the control of Parliament while still acknowledging the sovereignty of parliament.'

This part is consistent with achievement of the objectives of the statutes authorizing the financial assistance given by the Department of Commerce as provided in section 602 of the Act.

The fact that a type of Federal financial assistance is not listed in Appendix A shall not mean, if title VI of the Act is otherwise applicable, that a program is not covered.

(2) A recipient, or other party subject to this part, in determining the types of services, financial aid, or other benefits, or facilities which will be provided under any program, or the class of persons to whom, or the situations in which, such services, financial aid, other benefits, or facilities will be provided under any such program, or the class of persons to be afforded an opportunity to participate in any such program, shall not, directly or through contractual or other arrangements, utilize criteria or methods of administration which have the effect of subjecting persons to discrimination because of their race, color, or national origin, or have the effect of defeating or substantially impairing accomplishment of the objectives of the program as respect any persons of a particular race, color, or national origin.
(3) In determining the site or location of facilities, a recipient or other party subject to this part may not make selections with the purpose or effect of excluding persons from, denying them the benefits of, or subjecting them to discrimination under any program to which this part applies, on the grounds of race, color or national origin; or with the purpose or effect of defeating or substantially impairing the accomplishment of the objectives of the Act or this part.
(4) As used in this section, the services, financial aid, or other benefits provided under a program receiving Federal financial assistance shall be deemed to include any service, financial aid, or other benefit provided or made available in or through or utilizing a facility provided with the aid of Federal financial assistance.
(5) The enumeration of specific forms of prohibited discrimination in this paragraph and paragraph (c) of this section does not limit the generality of
(6)(i) In administering a program regarding which the recipient has previously discriminated against persons on the ground of race, color, or national origin, the recipient must take affirmative action to overcome the effects of prior discrimination.
(ii) Even in the absence of such prior discrimination, a recipient in administering a program may take affirmative action to overcome the effects of conditions which resulted in limiting participation by persons of a particular race, color or national origin.
(2) Where a primary objective of the Federal financial assistance to a program to which this part applies is not to provide employment, but discrimination on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, in the employment practices of the recipient or other party subject to this part, tends, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, to exclude persons from participating in, to deny them the benefits of, or to subject them to discrimination under any such program, the provisions of paragraph (c)(1) of this section shall apply to the employment practices of the recipient or other party subject to this part, to the extent necessary to assure equality of opportunity to, and nondiscriminatory treatment of such persons.
(1) That the recipient or other party subject to this part will not participate directly or indirectly in the discrimination prohibited by § 8.4, including employment practices when a program covering such is involved.
(2) That when employment practices are covered, the recipient or other party subject to this part will (i) in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or for the recipient,
(3) When continuing Federal financial assistance is involved, the recipient thereunder (i) will state that the program is (or, in the case of a new program, will be) conducted in compliance with all requirements imposed by or pursuant to this part, and (ii) will provide for such methods of administration for the program as are found by the responsible Department official to give reasonable assurance that all recipients of Federal financial assistance under such program and any other parties connected therewith subject to this part will comply with all requirements imposed by or pursuant to this part.
(4) That the recipient agrees to secure the compliance or to cooperate actively with the Department to secure the compliance by others with this part and the nondiscrimination clause as may be directed under an applicable program. For instance, the recipient may be requested by the responsible Department official to undertake and agree (i) to obtain or enforce or to assist and cooperate actively with the responsible Department official in obtaining or enforcing, the compliance of other recipients or of other parties subject to this part with the nondiscrimination required by this part; (ii) to insert appropriate nondiscrimination clauses in the respective contracts with or grants to such parties; (iii) to obtain and to furnish to the responsible Department official such information as he may require for the supervision or securing of such compliance; (iv) to carry out sanctions for noncompliance with the obligations imposed upon recipients and other parties subject to this part; and (v) to comply with such additional provisions as the responsible Department official deems appropriate to establish and protect the interests of the United States in the enforcement of these obligations. In the event that the cooperating recipient becomes involved in litigation with a noncomplying party as a result of such departmental direction, the cooperating recipient may request the Department to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.
(5) In the case of real property, structures or improvements thereon, or interests therein, which are acquired for a program receiving Federal financial assistance, or in the case where Federal financial assistance is provided in the form of a transfer of real property or interest therein from the Federal Government, the instrument effecting or recording the transfer shall contain a covenant running with the land assuring nondiscrimination for the period during which the real property is used for a purpose for which the Federal financial assistance is extended or for another purpose involving the provision of similar services or benefits, or for as long as the recipient retains ownership or possession of the property, whichever, is longer. Where no transfer of property is involved, but property is improved with Federal financial assistance, the recipient shall agree to include such a covenant in any subsequent transfer of such property. Where the property is obtained from the Federal Government, such covenant may also include a condition coupled with a right to be reserved by the Department to revert title to the property in the event of a breach of the covenant where, in the discretion of the responsible Department official, such a condition and right of reverter is appropriate to the statute under which the real property is obtained and to the nature of the grant and the grantee. In such event if a transferee of real property proposes to mortgage or otherwise encumber the real property as security for financing construction of new, or improvement of existing facilities on such property for the purposes for which the property was transferred, the responsible Department official may agree, upon request of the
(6) In programs receiving Federal financial assistance in the form, or for the acquisition, of real property or an interest in real property to the extent that rights to space on, over, or under any such property are included as part of the program receiving such assistance the nondiscrimination requirements of this part shall extend to any facility located wholly or in part in such space.
(7) That a recipient shall not take action that is calculated to bring about indirectly what this part forbids it to accomplish directly.
(8) Provisions specifying the extent to which like assurances will be required of subgrantees, contractors and subcontractors, lessees, transferees, successors in interest, and other participants in the program.
(9) Provisions which give the United States a right to seek judicial enforcement of the assurances.
(10) In the case where any assurances are required from an academic, a medical care, detention or correctional, or any other institution or facility, insofar as the assurances relate to the institution's practices with respect to the admission, care, or other treatment of persons by the institution or with respect to the opportunity of persons to participate in the receiving or providing of services, treatment, or benefits, such assurances shall be applicable to the entire institution or facility.
(11) In the case where the Federal financial assistance is in the form of or to aid in the acquisition of personal property, or real property or interest therein or structures thereon, the assurance shall obligate the recipients, or, in the case of a subsequent transfer, the transferee, for the period during which the property is used for a purpose for which the Federal financial assistance is extended or for another purpose involving the provision of similar services and benefits, or for as long as the recipient or transferee retains ownership or possession of the property, whichever is longer. In the case of any other type or form of assistance, the assurances shall be in effect for the duration of the period during which Federal financial assistance is extended to the program.
The following examples illustrate the applicability of this part to programs which receive or may receive Federal financial assistance administered by the Department. The fact that a particular type of Federal financial assistance is not listed does not indicate that it is not covered by this part, The discrimination referred to is that described in § 8.4 against persons on the ground of race, color, or national origin.
(1) The letting of contracts or other arrangements for the planning, designing, engineering, acquisition, construction, rehabilitation, conversion, enlargement, installation, occupancy, use, maintenance, leasing, subleasing, sales, or other utilization or disposition of property or facilities purchased or financed in whole or in part with the aid of Federal financial assistance;
(2) The acquisition of goods or services, or the production, preparation, manufacture, marketing, transportation, or distribution of goods or services in connection with a program or its operations;
(3) The onsite operation of the project or facilities;
(4) Services or accommodations offered to the public in connection with the program; and
(5) In employment practices in connection with or which affect the program (as defined in § 8.4(c)); in the following programs:
(i) Any program receiving Federal financial assistance for the purchase or development of land and facilities (including machinery and equipment) for industrial or commercial usage.
(ii) Any program receiving Federal financial assistance in the form of loans or direct or supplementary grants for the acquisition or development of land and improvements for public works, public service or development facility usage, and the acquisition, construction, rehabilitation, alteration, expansion, or improvement of such facilities, including related machinery and equipment.
(iii) In any program receiving any form of technical assistance designed to alleviate or prevent conditions of excessive employment or underemployment.
(iv) In any program receiving Federal financial assistance in the form of administrative expense grants.
(b) [Reserved]
(a) No recipient or other party subject to this part shall intimidate, threaten, coerce, or discriminate against, any person for the purpose of interfering with any right or privilege secured by section 601 of the Act of this part, or because the person has made a complaint, testified, assisted, or participated in any manner in an investigation, proceeding, or hearing under this part.
(b) The identity of complainants shall be kept confidential except to the extent necessary to carry out the purposes of this part, including the conduct of any investigation, hearing, or judicial or other proceeding arising thereunder.
(2) If an investigation does not warrant action pursuant to paragraph (b)(1) of this section, the responsible Department official will so inform the recipient or other party subject to this part and the complainant, if any, in writing.
(2) Technical rules of evidence shall not apply to hearings conducted pursuant to this part, but rules or principles designed to assure production of the
(2) Any recipient or other party adversely affected by an order entered pursuant to paragraph (f) of this section may at any time request the responsible Department official to restore fully its eligibility to receive Federal financial assistance. Any such request shall be supported by information showing that the recipient or other party has met the requirements of paragraph (g)(1) of this section. If the responsible Department official determines that those requirements have been satisfied, he shall restore such eligibility.
(3) If the responsible Department official denies any such request, the recipient or other party may submit a request for a hearing in writing, specifying why it believes such official to have been in error. It shall thereupon be given an expeditious hearing, with a decision on the record in accordance with rules of procedure issued by the responsible Department official. The recipient or other party will be restored to such eligibility if it proves at such a hearing that it satisfied the requirements of paragraph (g)(1) of this section. While proceedings under this paragraph are pending, the sanctions imposed by the order issued under paragraph (f) of this section shall remain in effect.
Action taken pursuant to section 602 of the Act is subject to judicial review as provided in section 603 of the Act.
(1) Executive Order 11246 and regulations issued thereunder, or
(2) Executive Order 11063 and regulations issued thereunder, or any other regulations or instructions, insofar as such order, regulations, or instructions prohibit discrimination on the ground of race, color, or national origin in any program or situation to which this part is inapplicable, or prohibit discrimination on any other ground.

Thanks to last year's three Oscar-nominated animation offerings, "The Illusionist," "How to Train Your Dragon" and "Toy Story 3," the bar for what some might have previously considered overblown cartoons has reached the most precariously high watermark we've seen since Disney's golden renaissance of the late 1980s and early 1990s, when it was a whole new world undah da sea.
Barreling into those towering expectations is the dazzling new 3D animated film, "Rio," which continues the trend of excellence, if not entirely with the plot—which is charming, though not totally inventive—thanks to such extraordinary visuals that it may serve to provide Brazil with the best tourism campaign it's seen since Gisele Bundchen became a household name.
"Rio" centers on Blu (charmingly voiced by Jesse Eisenberg), a neurotic domesticated macaw—think Woody Allen with wings—living a happily insulated life in small-town Minnesota with his owner, Linda (Leslie Mann). But when he's brought back to his homeland of Rio de Janeiro to mate with the last of his kind, a beautiful bird named Jewel (Anne Hathaway who gets to sing as well as squawk), he ends up on the run from an evil cockatoo (Jermaine Clement, who can make anything, even seagull poop jokes, hilarious).
U.S. & World
Thanks to a posse of new friends (voiced by George Lopez, Jamie Foxx and the Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am), Blu finds himself on an life-changing adventure that allows him to finally spread his wings. Can you feel the love tonight?
Directed by Carlos Saldanha ("Ice Age"), a Rio native who created a cinematic love letter to his hometown, the film is a glorious spectacle that flies from the jungles of Brazil to the favelas immortalized in "City of God" to a G-rated version of the sweaty, gyrating, tan, toned, writhing masses of Carnival on the wings of beautifully rendered birds--and, in one instance, an amazing series of hang-gliders.
While "sweet" might be a mild distinction for some movies, in this case, it's that sense of gentle warmth and lovability that makes "Rio" so enjoyable.

iPodCarParts has made a surplus buy of Alpine FM Modulators that allow an audio source to be added to any factory FM radio. These hard-wired modulators offer much better frequency response (better sound quality) than FM transmitters, and are much less susceptible to "walk-over" from radio stations. Designed for use with an Alpine CD changer or Alpine XM radio tuner, the CRA1665RF also has RCA inputs to add an additonal source such as an iPod, DVD player, etc. For cars that do not have any type of audio input compatible with our iPod vehicle interfaces, the Alpine CRA1665RF combined with our IPODRCA is the best way to listen to your iPod on the road. NOTE: Because these are surplus units, they include only what is shown in the picture; the modulator brain and the controller- no remote or mounting cup are included. SPECIAL COMBO DEAL: For a limited time we have the this Alpine modulator paired with our IPODRCA cable for the special price noted above. This package allows your iPod to be integrated into many vehicles where no other option is available, and it even keeps your iPod charged while in use! Some vehicles may require an optional antenna adapter that is available separately. Email or call us for more information.

ecorockstars brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 36 Designs von 16 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Arizona Healthy Green Homes
We are a real estate investment company in Phoenix, AZ. We specialize in taking distressed properties and greening them up to increase energy efficiency, profits (for our real estate investors) and health benefits.
We have two main target audiences:
1. Potential home buyers. Our position with them is that we offer them high quality, healthy homes that will save them money on their monthly utility bills. These buyers represent 99% of the home buyers out there. We are NOT trying to attract only people who are environmentally conscious.
2. Real Estate Investors who are looking for higher profits on their rental properties. We can sell them our properties and they will gain higher profits and have a property that they cannot get anywhere else.
In no specific order, here is what we are looking for:
1. Logos we love: Mac, Nike, New England Patriots.
2. No cartoons (ex: http://www.curtoons.com/funny-carto…-logo.htm)
3. Prefer understated, yet vibrant colors. Green, blue and orange are our favorites. For example: http://www.jimsimcoe.com/
4. Green-ness- If you incorporate a leaf into the logo, we'd prefer bamboo. 5. Although we are a green company, we cannot have the logo look too 'tree-huggish'. We are trying to appeal to the masses.
6. Logo should be clean and simple looking.
7. We ask that the winner provide the logo in the following formats: PSD, AI, PDF, JPEG. etc.
8. Very strong chance that we will ask the winner to do more work for us in the future.
Any questions, please let us know. Thanks in advance for your submissions..

Welcome to the Inaugural Issue of History Now
By Carol Berkin
The Gilder Lehrman Institute's quarterly American history online journal. The journal's primary mission: to promote the study of American history with articles from noted historians as well as lesson plans, resource guides, links to related websites, and other resources for teachers and students.
We are at an important time in the teaching of American history. A host of distractions compete for our students' attention; education budgets are strained; and changes in education guidelines reduce the time students spend in the classroom. Yet the need for young people to understand and examine American history has never been more urgent. Students deserve what American history can give them: an appreciation of the past; a working knowledge of their government; and skills they can take with them out of the classroom and into their adult lives. HISTORY NOW dedicates itself to these goals and to the call—issued by the founders more than two centuries ago—for an informed and enlightened citizenry upon which to base a growing democracy.
HISTORY NOW is available to anyone who is interested in American history and has access to the Web. But the journal is designed with American history teachers in mind. In each issue, the editors will bring together historians, master teachers and archivists to comment on a single historical theme. THE HISTORIAN'S PERSPECTIVE offers challenging interpretations of particular events related to the selected theme. FROM THE TEACHER'S DESK—written by master teachers—will suggest lesson plans and other activities to engage students in the topic. ASK THE ARCHIVIST will offer resources that can be used inside and outside of the classroom, as well as suggestions for additional reading.
But no one knows the classroom better than you, our audience. With this in mind, HISTORY NOW encourages readers to use our Digital Drop-Box to share lesson plans, comment on our articles, ask questions of our staff, and let us know what you think about our journal.
The first edition of HISTORY NOW tackles an issue at the forefront of current debate: the election of the nation's chief executive. In 2000 the media engaged in a lengthy examination of the Electoral College, voting rights, states' rights, and the role of the Supreme Court. The coming election will offer more opportunities to connect current events to the past and to engage students in a close analysis of American history.
Our guest historians have delivered four perspectives on our topic. Joanne Freeman discusses the contested election of 1800, a tense moment when the Electoral College did not pick a winner in the presidential election and the choice was thrown to the House of Representatives for resolution.
Choice is a key issue in understanding electoral history. But universal or near-universal choice in elections was not always available to Americans. Steven Mintz examines the history of voting rights and the struggle to secure suffrage for African Americans, women and other excluded groups.
In the past, the expansion of the electorate has necessitated changes in electoral politics. Candidates, particularly those who were running for national office, adapted their strategies to new audiences and to even newer technologies. The role played by media in elections has expanded exponentially over the past fifty years. Liette Gidlow looks at this experience through the Kennedy-Nixon debates, the first presidential debates to be held on television.
Finally, in an article that describes his experience teaching American history to Muslim students, many of whom are from countries where democracy is not a given, Ted Widmer reflects on the electoral process from an exchange student's perspective.
Wondering how to use all of this in the classroom? Our master teachers and our archivist have assembled an enriching package of suggestions.
The editors would like to thank the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History for the opportunity to put together such an exciting project and for sharing their collection of images and documents with us. Special thanks to James Basker, Lesley Herrmann, Karina Gaige and the education staff at the Institute, and to Sabina Daley, Director of Online Design at Thirteen/WNET.
Most of all, we would like to thank you, our readers, for your interest in HISTORY NOW, and we invite you to return for our next issue, when we will look at the topic of slavery through primary sources such as letters, diaries and slave narratives. We look forward to hearing your comments and suggestions.

Anyone interested in a Clone Wars STAP from the B'omarr Battle Pack ($5)? Or an Ep1 STAP with Battle Droid ($7)?Or how about a CW14 Yoda, AT-TE Assault Squad Clone Trooper, or Rishi Outpost Commando Droid ($5 each)?
Correct. I decided I don't need both and I like the Ambush Yoda a bit better for some reason... the green reminds me of vintage yoda I guess.

Glacier collapse on the western side of the Anemaqing mountain. Section of the Glof showing ice wall collapse. In April 2004, a huge snow avalanche took place at about 38 km from Xiadawu township on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. With a combination of rising temperatures brought on by climate change and the geological challenge of steep slope gravity, the glacial tongue of Anemaqing collapsed with such force that it brought down heavy snow and dark moraine making up a large part of the mountain body. The collapse has spread vast quantities of glacial ice and black moraine over 5 km2 of vale and valleys, with worrying consequences. The moraine has created a dam by blocking the valley river and the quickly melting ice has resulted in, within 14 months, a large glacial lake (Glof) which threatens soon to overflow, which could cause the flooding of pasture land and may be of danger to the Xiadawu township of 100 households in valley below.

Don't waste your money on subpar kettlebells, buy the best kettlebell from Dragon Door. I purchased a 14 kg bell, because I am moving to a new town and don't want to lose the skills I've built. I could have purchased a bell that was not as costly, but they are no where near the quality of the Dragon Door. This kettlebell will be around and in good condition for a very long time!
Bought my wife one of these and she loves it! I have a 53# RKC kettle bell and she wanted one of the same quality. We have a variety at our gym and none are of the quality of the RKC kettle bells from Dragon Door
I love my Dragon Door Kettlebells. Once you use a Dragon Door bell, others are just disappointing.
Received both of my 14kg kettlebells to our APO address. Thank you for shipping to service members overseas at an affordable rate and for taking the time to fully secure each box with packing tape. Both boxes arrived fully intact and the kettlebells were in perfect condition. These are the best kettlebells in the market and a great investment. They will last forever!
The only negative to this fantastic kettlebell is that I do not want to use the other non-dragondoor kettlebells I own anymore. Why? It feels so good in my hand. It even looks like quality. This kettlebell spoils you. It is not cheap but is a great value. For example, I have other kettlebells that are painted that chip and may slip after the hand sweats.In short, I wondered why would I pay more to get a kettlebell? Now I know the answer, they are great compared to other kettlebells I own.
RKC Kettlebells are the highest quality kettlebells on the market. Less expensive kettlebells will not withstand heavy use over time and don't feel as comfortable in the hand. Clients often comment on the noticeable difference between the RKC kettlebells and ones they're using at home. Worth every penny spent!
Have for years used your 16 , 18, 24 and 28 . Now at 72 Iam having to go lighter. The 14 is great for my left shoulder when I do doubles. Quality is still great
Dragon door bells offer the best value out there. Also, they are super responsive via email and on the phone, always updating me as to order status. I've received 2 of 3 bells so far that I've ordered and am nothing but impressed with the product.
great bell (nobody makes a better product), ok price (should be cheaper since its made in China), shipping cost way to high (why not send it flat rate US Mail for half the price)?????
Getting started with kettlebells was one of the best things I've ever done.

When patients are at their most vulnerable, that's when they need the care and attention provided in the Intensive Care units at Lawrence General Hospital.
There are two units at the Hospital – the actual Intensive Care unit (ICU) and a Coronary Care unit (CCU). Both offer the same nursing expertise and have the same low 2-to-1 patient-to-nurse ratio. Patients who are primarily treated for various heart conditions are transferred to the Cardiac Care unit, typically for overnight recovery, because they need quiet time, and the CCU features 10 all-private rooms.
Post-operative patients may be admitted to the ICU, where their condition can be closely monitored as they recover from surgery. But while some of the patients in the ICU are transferred from a floor of the Hospital, most are admitted through the Emergency Center. They may be suffering from shock, with low blood pressures and compromised heart rates and breathing. They may have bad infections that have made their way into their blood streams. They may be suffering from delirium tremens. They may have come in with a heart attack, abrupt change in their mental status or respiratory difficulties arising from conditions like severe pneumonia.
Regardless of what put them in the ICU, these are patients who require continuous monitoring, frequent nursing interventions and potential access to life-support medications and equipment and systems like ventilators, suction pumps, pacemakers and defibrillators and intravenous lines for drug infusions. The Hospital has made recent investments in advanced equipment to increase quality and improve the overall patient experience. For example, the Philips IntelliVue MP70 and X2 Patient Transport Monitors, a lightweight (3 lb) monitor, allow clinicians to "unplug and go" in a single step, helping to improve patient care. Patient diagnostics are stored in the device, travel with the patient and are then available to download directly to the patient's electronic medical record, reducing the need for duplicative charting.
You can rest assured that all medical personnel in the ICU and CCU know how to deliver the kind of acute care critically ill patients demand. In fact, in 2009, VHA Northeast recognized the ICU/CCU staff for their efforts to improve quality measures by adopting a program that resulted in zero ventilator-associated pneumonias for six months as well as reducing the overall days patients spend on a ventilator. Also, in 2010, graduating residents from the Greater Lawrence Family Health Center recognized staff from the ICU/CCU as being "Most Helpful" during their onsite training at the hospital.

The ascent of Jesus into heaven (Acts 1: 2–11; a shorter version is in Luke 24: 50–3). There are two OT stories and also Ps. 110 which form the background of the accounts. When Enoch had attained 365 years, he 'walked with God'; then he was no more, because God took him (Gen. 5: 24); the prophet Elijah was taken to heaven by a whirlwind (2 Kgs. 2: 11). Ascension stories (e.g. of Heracles) also circulated in the pagan Hellenistic world. The character of Jesus' appearances after Easter as recorded by Luke have a more 'solid' 'corporeal' and evidential nature than elsewhere in the NT, even though the risen body could pass through doors. It was necessary for Luke to explain that the appearances would cease and be replaced by the presence in the Church of the Holy Spirit, and his solution was to use the OT notion of ascension after forty days (cf. Elijah's journey of forty days and nights to Horeb the Mount of God, 1 Kgs. 19: 8) to signify the termination of resurrection appearances and the completion of Jesus' work of redemption and his ascendancy in a Messianic kingdom over all things.
Traditionally, the Ascension has been regarded as a physical elevation and many famous pictures, e.g. by Tintoretto in Venice, show Jesus moving upwards in a cloud, even leaving behind a footprint on the ground. However, given the OT background the Ascension should be regarded as Luke's way of expressing his understanding of the completion of one era and the inauguration of another, that of the Church, which at Pentecost would shortly be endowed with the Holy Spirit which the heavenly Christ would send for the completion of his mission (John 20: 21). Although the Ascension has often been understood in the past in a literal way, there is a valid symbolical interpretation, for the spatial metaphor of height expresses the idea of transcendence.
