Primed For Spring Turkey Vermont's turkey seasons blast off with youth hunt Vermont's turkey seasons blast off with youth hunt Hunters are gearing up for Vermont's spring youth turkey hunting weekend later this month and getting ready for the regular spring turkey hunting season that starts May 1.Vermont offers some of the best turkey hunting in New England according to the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department. In 2013, Hunters took 6,362 turkeys in both the youth weekend and regular seasons, and 608 turkeys in the fall season.What makes Vermont's spring gobbler season special? Vermont's turkey hunting is statewide during the spring season. Vermont's turkey population is one of the highest in New England. You can buy a turkey hunting license without having to go through a lottery. The turkey license comes with two spring tags for two bearded birds and one tag for a turkey of either sex in the fall season. Plus, you get to hunt the entire weekend, because hunting is allowed on Sundays.Youth turkey hunting weekend is April 26-27 this year. Landowner permission is required to hunt on private land, whether or not the land is posted. To be eligible, a youth must be age 15 or under. The youth must have successfully completed a hunter education course and possess a hunting license, a turkey hunting license and a free youth turkey hunting tag. The youth also must be accompanied by an unarmed adult who holds a hunting license and is over 18 years of age. Shooting hours are one half hour before sunrise to noon. The youth may take one bearded turkey during youth weekend and two bearded turkeys in the regular May hunting season. Last year, young hunters enjoyed a success rate of 42 percent when they took 782 turkeys during Vermont's two-day youth hunt, which offers a great opportunity for young people to learn about turkey hunting while coached by an experienced adult.The regular spring turkey hunting season is May 1-31. Shooting hours are one half hour before sunrise to noon. Two bearded turkeys may be taken, and all of Vermont is open to turkey hunting during the youth weekend and regular spring season.A shotgun or bow and arrow may be used in the youth turkey or regular spring turkey hunting seasons. Shot size must be no larger than #2 and no smaller than #8."Although brood production was lower than average last year due to the wet spring, Vermont's turkey population appears to remain high, and we anticipate another great harvest in 2014," said Amy Alfieri, Vermont's wild turkey project leader. Vermont was the first New England state to re-establish wild turkeys when it released 31 wild birds from New York in 1969 and 1970. Today, the Green Mountain State has an estimated 50,000 turkeys.Vermont's wild turkey restoration program is a tremendous wildlife management success story funded entirely by hunters through the sale of hunting licenses and a federal tax on hunting equipment. Now, hunters are reaping the benefits by seeing excellent turkey hunting in Vermont. And, all Vermonters are enjoying watching the big birds as they roam hillsides they had been absent from for almost a century.To find out more about wild turkey hunting in Vermont, contact the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department by telephone at 802-828-1000 or check in at their website (www.vtfishandwildlife.com). The 2013 Turkey Harvest Report, available on the website, has details to help you plan your hunt, including the number of turkeys taken in each town. Last year, turkeys were taken in all of Vermont's 253 towns. While on their website, be sure to look at a printable copy of the guide to "2014 Spring and Fall Turkey Seasons." Licenses are available on their website and from agents statewide. GET THE NEWSLETTER Join the List and Never Miss a Thing. Sign Me Up

Ricciardi: "It looks like we're going to lose Burnett"
The Blue Jays are preparing for life without A.J. Burnett. In the wake of news that the Braves have extended a formal offer to the free-agent pitcher, Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi noted that his club isn't expecting Burnett to head back to Toronto.
"It looks like we're going to lose Burnett," Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi told the Canadian Press. "We don't know where Burnett is going to go, but we've got to assume Burnett's going to be gone."
Given Toronto's current financial situation — sponsorship is down, the Canadian dollar has weakened, and the team experienced layoffs within the organization this week — the Jays aren't likely to be big players with any other free agents. Ricciardi noted that the club will continue to explore trades for pitching help.
"I don't really see us being that active unless it's via the trade route right now," Ricciardi was quoted as saying. "I think we'll listen and we'll try to create some things. But really, at the end of the day, I don't see us being that active."

Thanks for confirming the layoff rumor; can you tell us how many people were let go and in what areas of the operation they were in? i'm hoping none of the scouting group was affected, can you at least confirm that point?
As I pointed out in previous posts, the Blue Jays are in miserable straits going into 2009. The only logical plan is to dump the huge contracts and reload with prospects for 2010 and or 2011. Any other plan will make them look like fools to their fans.
That being said, I expect that will be the number one job of the incoming President, I doubt if Beeston wants to do it nor should he unless he's committed to long term. The guy making the decisions should have responsibility for them over the coming years.
If recent events has taught anyone anything, its quite clear we cannot compete in the AL east without a significant investment in the farm system and player development. Riccardi has not done his job in that area in the 7 years he's been here and he should be the first one out the door.
Ok so Burnett is probably gone… Haven't we known this for months now??? Packaging Lind with some minor leaguers for a pitcher is by far the easiest way to get a quality starter to take Burnett's place. That would however require the Jays to go get a DH (Bradley IMO) via FA and we all know by now that the Jays don't have the bankroll to play in the FA market this year. They do if they can move Ryan or Rolen. I would prefer to move Ryan (although I think he will be back big time this year) because our pen is good enough to withstand the loss of the closer but we don't have a 3B to replace Rolen. If Ryan goes we free up 10mil ish i think, that combined with Burentt's savings 12mil ish we could then go get a hitter and still reduce salary.
With all the injuries/inconsistancies because of injuries, it feels like Burnett was hardly even here to begin with. Thanks for one good year A.J.! I'll just be glad that he doesn't go to the Yankees, or Red Sox, and remain injury-free while there. That would really upset me.
From Yahoo Sports
The Blue Jays organization suffered a heavy blow with the death of its owner, Ted Rogers. Rogers, 75, who purchased the Jays in 2000, died of heart complications.
His death leaves the Blue Jays in a state of flux as to whether his family or his company, Rogers Communications Inc., is willing to continue running the franchise. And if they do, for how long?
"I guess the major issue will be whether the next CEO (of Rogers Communications Inc.) shares the same long-term vision that Ted Rogers had for the team," said outgoing president and CEO Paul Godfrey, who leaves his position Dec. 31. "Over the short term, I would say the next two years or so, I'd bet the team will stay in Rogers hands.
"What happens beyond that depends, I'm sure, on the company's direction, the economy, foreign exchange and the attitude of the fans in Toronto. I know one thing: Ted would want the Jays to remain in Toronto, but now that will be someone else's call."
The Jays, who are in negotiations to retain free agent right-hander A.J. Burnett, said they would likely save the money they would have to pay Burnett if he signed elsewhere rather than spend it on other free agents. In that way, their payroll would drop from about $97 million to around $83-85 million.
The uncertainty regarding ownership will also be problematic for interim president Paul Beeston in his search for a new president and CEO.
In a sign of the troubled economic times, the Jays cut 24 front-office jobs, the bulk of them coming in the ticket department. None of the cuts affected the baseball operations. "It's regrettable," said Paul Beeston, the Jays' interim president. "Every sports team is challenged (by the economy) and the Toronto Blue Jays are as well."
Everyone seems to be writing of this 09 team. You know sometimes when you think things will go right, they go wrong. And sometimes when you think things will go wrong, they finally go right.
There's no reason the Jays pitching staff can't have another good year – even without Burnett and Marcum. They survived tough injuries during the last two years, and their pen should be even stronger this year, if that's even possible. As for the hitting – if Wells, Rolen, Hill and Overbay can finally have a full healthy season, and now with the addition of a more experienced Lind and Snider in the lineup for the full season (not to mention Cito Gaston for a full season), the Jays could go back to 06 hitting form.
You just never know with this game. It could be the year the Jays finally combine offense with pitching. Look at the 08 Twins and Sox, they weren't supposed to be any good…
In either case, I think it's best to have an optimistic attitude. Makes it more fun to look forward to the season, no?
2009 is going to be a rough year for the Jays , too many unknowns , player and money wise . I would not be unhappy if we didn't sign Burnett , 1) is the high risk factor of yet another injury laden season or 5 of them and 2) why spend the money on him when there is little chance of the Jays doing much next year . Burnett's pitching will not save this team .
Wells being traded keeps being brought up but its not going to happen . He has a back end loaded contract with a full no trade clause
Win or lose I still love the Jays and will support them . I do think they will go through some rough times . There are a lot of unanswered questions with the passing of Ted Rogers . Who will take over the team , his company or his family and will they have the passion for the Jays that he had. It will be an interesting year to say the least
hey all,
I am just wondering why Scutaro is being tabbed as the opening day starter as SS. I know McDonald won't be the the starter (as much as I think he should be), but Inglett posted better numbers in almost every offensive category, plus he is a potential leadoff hitter. Maybe I'm missing something, but I can;t believe how Inglett doesn't have the starting job at SS/2B after having a very impressive year, where he hit .297 with 7 triples.
Well, there's good news and bad news in this MLB rumor, if it's true.
"The Blue Jays would deal B.J. Ryan if overwhelmed by an offer. They're looking for a catcher to split time with Rod Barajas. Forget the rumors that Roy Halladay is available. "We will not trade Roy Halladay," said GM J.P. Ricciardi. The Jays will shop for bargains in free agency."
-The good news is, JP is prepared to dump Ryan. The bad news, is it sort of sounds like he's looking to trade Ryan for a back up catcher to Barajas when we should be trading Barajas right along with Ryan bring up two of our kids and let them play. As dumb as this move sounds, it does sound a lot like one of Jp's moves and probably is true.
The other dual bad news is we're supposedly looking for "bargains in free agents" and we won't trade Halliday. Beeston should check Jp's record on bargain based free agents or for that matter free agents since they've mostly been disasters. Eckstein, Mench, Stewart, Benetiz, Wilkerson, Okha, Clayton, Phillips, Olmedo, Zambrano, etc, etc, etc, are good examples of Jp's free agent bargain signings.
If we don't trade for prospects, we can write off one hell of a lot more than 2009. 2009 is starting to sound like another groundhog year when we end up in 4th or 5th place have multiple excuses and promise next year will be better.

A silvered Argento and ebonised mahogany dressing table with finely hand-painted decoration, the serpentine moulded edge and leather inset top above four drawers to each pedestal centred by a frieze drawer, with a modesty panel, the top drawers enclosing felt lined jewellery trays, on scroll carved feet. Inspired by a Louis XV original.
Fine inlay requires the skill of a sculptor, the eye of an artist and the patience of a saint. Each piece of inlay is cut out by hand, whether in brass, stainless steel or mother of pearl. This lends each piece the individuality of the craftsmen who worked on it.
Crushed eggshell inlay, hand-tooling with gold leaf; hand-painting with fine art techniques, the ancient art of gilding and our Argento technique involving canvas wrapping, gilding and painting are just a few of the techniques used to create the authentic finishes on our furnishings. Using traditional tools and techniques handed down through the ages imbue each piece with an air of authenticity and individuality.
Our craftsmen select wood based on beauty, colour and suitability to each individual piece. We still use traditional furniture making, wood working techniques and materials to ensure enduring quality in every one of our products.
Frequently dust exposed surfaces with a clean, damp natural cloth. Dry the surface with another clean, dry cloth. Infrequently polish your furniture (a few times a year at most) with a non-silicon-base furniture polish made by a reputable manufacturer, taking care to follow the instructions.

Infrequently polish your furniture (a few times a year at most) with a non-silicon-base furniture polish made by a reputable manufacturer, taking care to follow the instructions. Bear in mind that one manufacturer's furniture care products should never be used in combination with another. Product formulations are unique to each manufacturer and are made to blend with another, so using different polishes may cause build-up that can appear cloudy or dull over time, and/or feel sticky to the touch. Always polish or dust with a motion that follows the grain of the wood to avoid scratching the surface, and allow polish to dry completely before replacing any objects on the surface.
Theodore Alexander artists painstakingly create our hand-painted finishes using meticulous brushstrokes and age-old techniques. You can use a good quality furniture polish to maintain and preserve the unique artwork. Take care not to use abrasive cloths or polishes that may scratch a hand-painted finish.

How To Measure Door
Solid Wood Structure: To enhance stability even further, the core of our mahogany doors contain the same solid mahogany species.
For our engineered banded stiles and rails, each stile features a solid mahogany edge band. The engineered stiles and rails are stronger then single, solid wood pieces, reducing the possibility of the door warping or splitting. Our durable 3-ply wood panels will not twist, warp, shrink or expand.
In our finished series, the panel is completely prefinished and sealed on all six sides before being installed, and as the panels are free to float between fixed edges, there is no unfinished part of the panel that may show up with time. There are no nails that hold panels in place.
Just as the name states, our Classic Collection offers a selection of solid wood doors that have been praised and adored due to their ever-lasting elegance and archetypal design. Traditional doors are a industry standard as they range from designs such as two panel doors with elaborate raised moldings, to beautiful glass doors with leaded designs, providing a eternal beauty to the home. Classic designs are really where the elegance and richness of wood is best displayed, as the high-end wood grains and furniture quality stains are what really draws the eye. Classic Collection doors are door style that is long standing a perfect example of timeless quality that remains prized and valuable.

WHAT'S STELLA - Stella is the hot, new, urban italian restaurant in a hip area of downtown oklahoma city. The menu is simple, classic tuscan dining, while the bar is energetic and inviting with a wine list as classy as Stella herself. Stella's wood burning oven will produce not only incredible thin crust pizzas but also tasty baked pasts dishes, fresh fish items, chicken and beef entrees along with succulent roasted vegetables.
TARGET AUDIENCE - neighborhood and downtown business crowd to hang out for wine and cocktails after work and friends, couples and families to enjoy a great garden fresh meal.
REQUIREMENTS OF PROJECT - looking for a flirty but sophisticated, casual but elegant logo to be used as a website as well as signage on my building. Color scheme should be earth tones, with an emphasis on rust and black and possibly some brushed gold or bronze. Letters should be lower case or feminine script. Need the same logo in a black and white format. Ideally, I would like to have one logo that is the name only or just has a little decorative design around it possibly using a star. Also, if you're feeling creative, I'm looking for a word or two to be used as the tag line. The building is on a corner and is triangular in shape with the front rounded entrance where the logo will go, and the two sides of the building where the short tag line can go (with or without the logo).
I do not want clip art.
I'm willing to pay more for a second design that has a simple line drawing behind the name which could be a chef putting something in the oven, an artistic loose drawing a wine bottle and a fork or something that signifies food. I do not want any clip art or any detailed drawing of Stella as a woman. I want Stella to be in each guests mind as they visualize her. I don't want to tell people what Stella looks like.

Audi TT RS 45 TFSI Quattro Vorsprung 2dr S Tronic ReviewThe image may be different to the version you have selected
Manufacturer price from:£49,175
What Car? Target Price£45,010
What Car? will save you at least £4,165, but our approved dealers could save you even more.
The Audi TT RS isn't the sharpest car in its class to drive, but few similar-priced sports cars can match its outright pace and beautifully constructed interior. The Porsche 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman have a better chassis set-up, but their coarse four-cylinder engines sound poor next to the TT RS's wonderful five-pot motor. Those looking for the purest driving experience for this money should try the sweet-handling Alpine A110 instead.get the best price
Trim: Vorsprung
Engine: 45 TFSI Quattro
The more powerful 45 TFSI feels fast at virtually any revs and will crack 60mph in less than six seconds. It's available with a choice of front or four-wheel drive – dubbed quattro by Audi – but the latter makes the car heavier and only provides an advantage in wet conditions.

Softenv Keys for ddt on supermike2
|Softenv Key
▶ Softenv FAQ?
The information here is applicable to LSU HPC and LONI systems.
A user may choose between using /bin/bash and /bin/tcsh. Details about each shell follows.
System resource file: /etc/profile
When one access the shell, the following user files are read in if they exist (in order):
- ~/.bash_profile (anything sent to STDOUT or STDERR will cause things like rsync to break)
- ~/.bashrc (interactive login only)
- ~/.profile
When a user logs out of an interactive session, the file ~/.bash_logout is executed if it exists.
The default value of the environmental variable, PATH, is set automatically using SoftEnv. See below for more information.
The file ~/.cshrc is used to customize the user's environment if his login shell is /bin/tcsh.
SoftEnv is a utility that is supposed to help users manage complex user environments with potentially conflicting application versions and libraries.
System Default Path
When a user logs in, the system /etc/profile or /etc/csh.cshrc (depending on login shell, and mirrored from csm:/cfmroot/etc/profile) calls /usr/local/packages/softenv-1.6.2/bin/use.softenv.sh to set up the default path via the SoftEnv database.
SoftEnv looks for a user's ~/.soft file and updates the variables and paths accordingly.
Viewing Available Packages
The command softenv will provide a list of available packages. The listing will look something like:
$ softenv These are the macros available: * @default These are the keywords explicitly available: +amber-8 Applications: 'Amber', version: 8 Amber is a +apache-ant-1.6.5 Ant, Java based XML make system version: 1.6. +charm-5.9 Applications: 'Charm++', version: 5.9 Charm++ +default this is the default environment...nukes /etc/ +essl-4.2 Libraries: 'ESSL', version: 4.2 ESSL is a sta +gaussian-03 Applications: 'Gaussian', version: 03 Gaussia ... some stuff deleted ...
Managing SoftEnv
The file ~/.soft in the user's home directory is where the different packages are managed. Add the +keyword into your .soft file. For instance, ff one wants to add the Amber Molecular Dynamics package into their environment, the end of the .soft file should look like this:
To update the environment after modifying this file, one simply uses the resoft command:
% resoft
The command soft can be used to manipulate the environment from the command line. It takes the form:
$ soft add/delete +keyword
Using this method of adding or removing keywords requires the user to pay attention to possible order dependencies. That is, best results require the user to remove keywords in the reverse order in which they were added. It is handy to test out individual keys, but can lead to trouble if changing multiple keys. Changing the .soft file and issuing the resoft is the recommended way of dealing with multiple changes.
- DDT requires X-windows to function, so the local machine must have an X11 server installed and running.
- start Xming
- start puTTY
- connect to the remote host (make sure puTTY knows about Xming for this host)
- Compile the program with debugging enabled. This typically
requires using the
-gcommand line switches.
- When using a version of MVAPICH2 newer than 1.2, there are
two versions of the MPI task manager to choose from. One uses
the MPD daemons and the other uses a mechanism based on
SSH. The latter is preferred as it gives much better scaling
performance at high process counts. To specify its use, set
the DDTMPIRUN environment variable to the absolute path of the
launch manager you wish to use (if you use
mpddaemons must be managed manually):
From *nix
Since ssh and X11 are already on most client machines running some sort of unix (Linux, FreeBSD, etc), one would simply use the following command:
% ssh -X -Y email@example.com
Once successfully logged in, the following command should open a new terminal window on the local host:
% xterm&
An xterm window should appear. If this is not the case, email us.
From Mac OS X
An X11 service is not installed by default, but one is available for installation on the OS distribution disks as an add-on. An alternative would be to install the XQuartz version. Make sure the X11 application is running and connect to the cluster using:
% ssh -X -Y email@example.com
From Windows
Microsoft Windows does not provide an X11 server, but there are both open source and commercial versions available. You also need to install an SSH client. Recommended applications are:
When a PuTTY session is created, make sure the "X11 Forwarding Enabled" option is set, and that the X11 server is running before starting the session.
Once Xming and puTTY have been set up and in stalled, the following will provide a simple test for success:
Once successfully logged in, the following command should open a new terminal window on the local host:
% xterm&
An xterm window should appear. If this is not the case, refer to "Trouble with Xming?" or email us.
Note About Cygwin
Cygwin is still a useful environment, but is to complicated and contains too many unnecessary parts when all one wants is to interface with remote X11 sessions. For these reasons, we recommend Xming and PuTTY as listed above.
Advanced Usage
The most important connection that is made is from the user's client machine to the first remote host. One may "nest" X11 forwarding by using the ssh -XY command to jump to other remote hosts.
For example:
1. on client PC (*nix or Windows), ssh to remotehost1
2. on remotehost1 (presumably a *nix machine), ssh -XY to remotehost2
3. on remotehost2 (presumably a *nix machine), ssh -XY to remotehost3
8. on remotehost8 (presumably a *nix machine), ssh -XY to remotehost9
9. on remotehost9, running an X11 application like xterm should propagate the remote window back to the initial client PC through all of the additional remote connects.

Prison Break: African Asylum Seekers Claim Their Place on the Israeli Political Map – Haggai Matar
Haggai Matar
Saturday night was something no one in Israel had ever seen before. It was supposed to be a small demonstration – a quiet march of several hundred Israeli activists and African asylum seekers, coming on the heels of two Marches for Freedom earlier in the week, to protest a new amendment to Israel's Anti-Infiltration Act. Legislated after the High Court scrapped an earlier amendment, the new version authorizes the automatic detention of asylum seekers for up to one year in an ostensibly "open" detention facility, including asylum seekers already living freely in the country. Since the earlier marches were intercepted and suppressed by immigration authorities, initially it didn't seem that Saturday's march would get much (if any) media attention. But from the second it began, it was clear to all present that this time was different.
More than 2,000 asylum seekers, all in danger of immediate and permanent imprisonment following the passage of the new amendment, marched in the streets of south and central Tel Aviv. The asylum seekers, who had likely seen pictures or heard stories of their friends' desert marches, were in high gear and bursting with energy. They started running through the streets, chanting just two slogans over and over again: "No more prison!" and "we want freedom!" Read more…
Flouting International Law: Violating the Human Rights of Asylum Seekers, Including Victims of Torture and Human Trafficking, in and en route to Israel – Laurie Lijnders
Laurie Lijnders
Physicians for Human Rights-Israel
My 15-year-old brother Habtom disappeared after he was released from an underground cell in the trafficking compound of Abu Khalid, where he was tortured for three months until we paid US$35,000 for his release, a young Eritrean woman told me during a visit to her home in a Tel Aviv suburb. Habtom, who fled forced military conscription and institutionalized slavery in Eritrea, was kidnapped in April 2012 from Shagarab refugee camp in Eastern Sudan by Rishyada tribesmen. Through a well-organized network of human traffickers operating in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Sudan, Egypt, and Israel, he was transferred to the northern Sinai desert, near the Egyptian border with Israel.
The Israeli Ministry of Interior estimates that 60,000 African asylum seekers, mainly from Eritrea and Sudan, have arrived in Israel in recent years via the country's southern border. According to Israeli human rights organizations, arriving asylum seekers face serious rights violations on both sides of the border.

Cleaning the house is a great way to clear your mind. Another thing I always like to do is bike over to my local florist and buy myself some flowers, they help to brighten your home and their fragrance is very soothing. Creation is another great distraction, baking, cooking, painting, crafting. Anything that you can make and track your progress in a short amount of time will give you a sense of accomplishment and productivity.
8 Simple Ways to Clear Your Mind
There are days where you can't seem to free your mind from all your woes. Figuring out how to unravel a busy mind can create an even bigger challenge. The brain is an amazing thing, and sometimes simply tricking it into thinking it is serene and clear is the only way to unwind and recharge. During high-stress moments or while accomplishing basic tasks, here are a few tricks and tips for clearing your mind, paving the way for a great day full of smart decisions.
RELATED: 12 Ideas for Taking a Mental Health Day
1. Write It Out
When you're flustered, spend a few minutes free-writing about your problems, which may help release them from your mind. Putting your concerns to paper helps your brain work through your problems, clearing thoughts and allowing you to move on. And once you're done writing, close the journal, keeping your thoughts tucked away in the pages, and not in your brain.
2. Get Some Fresh Air
A simple change of scenery helps clear the mind and refresh the brain. Go for a long walk or sit outside and take a few deep breaths. Breathing slowly and mindfully activates the brain to release neurohormones that inhibit stress-producing hormones and trigger a relaxation response in the body.
3. Get Distracted
When your brain's in overdrive, give it something different to think about. Play a game, read a book, or watch a movie. While you are taking a vacation from your pressing thoughts, you brain just might come up with some fresh ideas, giving you a new perspective on your problems.
4. Clean Your House
When you can't turn off your brain, put your body to work and clean your house. While you're scrubbing the tub, imagine cleaning out your brain, removing each thought that's bothering you one at a time. By the time your house is sparkling clean, your brain will be wonderfully clear too.
5. Smell the Flowers
That's right — take a break and smell the flowers. Stop being so hard on yourself, and snap out of it. Sometimes simply telling yourself that you've had enough stress and anxious thoughts tricks the brain into turning off. Stay positive, give yourself a quick pep talk, and before you know it, your brain will be clear.
6. Think About It
Meditate on what's bothering you, imagining working out your problems step by step. Project yourself into the future, to a moment where you are happy and calm, and then work backward, figuring out what happens along the path to serenity.
7. Don't Worry About Time
When a busy brain is keeping you up all night, don't worry about time. Unplug the clock, set an alarm somewhere else in your house, safeguard so you won't be late for work, and relax. This way, losing sleep doesn't top the list of things making your brain busy.
8. Share Away
Clear the air by talking it out with a good friend. Call someone who's willing to lend a good listening ear, and share every thought that's bugging you. Along with sharing, chatting with a friend may offer new ideas for solving problems. Don't forget to return the favor in the near future to your attentive confidant.

What size lens is recommended for flying bird photography?
I am having trouble deciding which lens I should buy my wife to go with her new Canon 7D. She uses it mainly for birds, including both at a distance and in flight.
My basic logic is that if two lenses provided by a manufacturer for a similar purpose is more expensive than another, then the the more expensive one is the better one. Could you please advise me if this simplistic thought is correct?
If it is a little or a lot more complicated, could you please advise me of your thoughts, having regards to my limited photographic knowledge.

Glove Or Mitt: Glove
Gloves and mittens are some of the most important accessories for skiing or snowboarding. Having cold hands is never fun and is definitely not fun while skiing or boarding. This guide will help you understand the different materials that make up each part of the glove as well as explain some other features that you may want to consider before making your purchase. For the best comfort, fit and warmth for you it is best to consider
• Warmth
• Shell Material
• Waterproofing
• Insulation
• Palm and Cuff Lengths
• Size and Fit
Gloves and mittens vary in the amount of warmth they provide so it is important to choose a pair that best suits your needs. Are you someone who tends to get cold hands while others seem to keep warm hands in any conditions? If you are someone who always feels the cold it is important to look at a glove or mitt that has a higher amount of insulation, a high breathability rating and a high waterproof rating. For someone who has warm hands in any conditions or someone who tends to keep warm or even get too hot while skiing or snowboarding then you might like to choose a glove that has a high water proof rating and a high breath ability rating but a lower amount of insulation.
The shell material of a ski or snowboard gloves is usually made up of one or both of two types of fabrics including synthetic outer shell or a leather outer shell. A synthetic outer shell is usually made up of Nylon with the higher end gloves consisting of a waterproof and breathable fabric. Leather on the other hand is the tried-and-true material for gloves and mittens. Leather is normally cowhide or goatskin, can be more durable and pliable than nylon materials and is naturally water-resistant. Leather gloves can be waterproof, windproof and warm. When maintained properly with leather waterproofing treatments, these gloves can last for years.
Some Waterproof Membranes found in the gloves that we stock at Rhythm Snowsports include; GORE-TEX® - GORE-TEX® membranes for gloves and mittens are an insert placed between the outer shell and insulation. They typically offer the highest level of waterproof breathability for ski and snowboard handwear. Shop GORE-TEX® Gloves & Mittens Hipora® - Gloves made with Hipora® fabrics are waterproof, windproof and breathable with a polyurethane (PU) coating, which is famous for being more stretchable than other PU coatings. It has microscopic pores all over the polyurethane coating to prevent liquid water penetration, yet allow moisture to evaporate out. Shop Hipora® Gloves & Mittens Polyurethane – Most waterproof/breathable fabrics have a laminated membrane or coating made of polyurethane (PU). PU coated fabrics make up a large portion of the glove and mitten market, offering a good combination of waterproof breathability and cost. Many manufacturers offer their own proprietary PU membrane, and combine this fabric with leather or synthetic materials in high wear areas. WINDSTOPPER® - Gore WINDSTOPPER® fabric is made with an ePTFE membrane that it is only windproof and breathable, not waterproof. By combining durable wind protection and high breathability, this type of ski and snowboard glove will keep you warm and comfortable with fewer layers and less bulk and is suitable for cold and dry climates. Like most soft shell fabrics, WINDSTOPPER® products are typically coated with DWR (Durable Water Repellent), which provides them with a modest degree of water resistance. They may wet through in heavy rainfall but can be worn comfortably in light drizzle.
Some insulation types found in our gloves at Rhythm Snowsports include; Down – Best for dry conditions, down is nature's best insulator and makes an excellent choice for very cold conditions with moderate activity. Made up of a combination of down plumules and feathers, this material traps air, which helps keep your hands insulated. Higher rated down garments will have greater insulating ability for their weight. Down's insulating qualities are hard to beat in cold and dry conditions, but its advantages are reduced when wet and it can be slow to dry. Shop Down Gloves & Mittens Primaloft® – Primaloft® uses a patented synthetic microfiber insulation material to help the body retain warmth and conserve energy. This is a very good insulation choice if wet conditions are expected. Primaloft® is not as warm as down by weight, but it's breathable, compressible, water resistant and provides good insulation even when wet. Shop Primaloft® Gloves & Mittens Thinsulate™ - Made of unique ultra thin microfibers, 3M™ Thinsulate™ insulation provides excellent insulating properties with less bulk, making it ideal for use in glove and mittens where dexterity is a priority. Palm and Cuff Lengths When purchasing your ski or snowboard gloves it is important to consider the palm material and the cuff length. It is important for the areas on your gloves that get the most use or wear and tear be fitted with reinforcements in those areas. Those areas include palms, fingertips and thumbs. If you purchase a glove that has reinforcements in these areas the glove with endure the conditions for longer. The Cuff of a glove is important when purchasing a ski or board glove as it is the part that will prevent snow from getting into your sleeve or your glove. A dry glove means a warm glove. The style of your snow jacket and cuff will also come into consideration as some styles are designed to go under a glove cuff and some styles or snow jackets are designed to go over a cuff.
If a ski or snowboard glove is too small, it will be uncomfortable. But if your ski or snowboard glove is too big, it will be hard to warm or take too long for your hand to warm inside so properly sizing your ski and board gloves and choosing the right pair is important for warmth and comfort. Ultimately size and fit of a glove cannot be beaten by trying it on in person. If you are unable to do this the best way to check size and measurement is; • Measure the circumference around the widest part of the hand with a closed fist • Measure Length from tip of Middle finger to wrist • Note that measurement, round it to the nearest cm and refer to the sizing chart to find your approximate glove size.

A new class-action lawsuit filed on Wednesday to a class-action lawsuit accuses Dell of inflating its profits over the past several years by failing to properly disclose rebates from Intel in the amount of "hundreds of millions of dollars" in its earnings. It joins another class-action lawsuit originally filed last September in the US District Court of the Western District of Texas; the two lawsuits will likely be consolidated.
The new suit, filed by the law firm of Lerach Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins LLP, accuses the computer manufacturer of reporting inflated financial results. It also alleges that Dell concealed the presence of an SEC investigation from investors during 2005 and brings PricewaterhouseCooper, its corporate auditor, into the lawsuit as a defendant.
This latest complaint adds Intel to the mix. It accuses Dell of taking up to $1 billion per year in payments from Intel in exchange for only using Intel CPUs in its laptops, desktops, and servers and says that Dell's "superior operating margins" were due in large part to "the hundreds of millions of dollars of secret and likely illegal rebate/kickback payments Dell was receiving from Intel at the end of each quarter in return for purchasing 100% or virtually 100% of its microprocessor requirements from Intel."
The original lawsuit accused Dell of misleading investors about customer-service issues, costs related to warranties, and serious quality control issues. It also accuses CEO Michael Dellwho returned to the corporate driver's seat earlier this weekand other officers of insider trading and illegally back-dating and spring-loading stock options. Dell is currently under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission for its practices related to granting stock options.
AMD will be watching this lawsuit very closely, as the allegations about Dell and Intel's relationship mirror some of those raised in AMD's antitrust lawsuit against its larger competitor. Intel maintains that its practice of offering rebates to customers who buy in volume are perfectly legal and argues that AMD's competitive problems are of its own making. The complaint, however, alleges that Intel told Dell to keep the program details secret due to antitrust concerns. The lawsuit says that Intel and Dell kept knowledge of the rebate program contained within a small circle of Dell executives and that the companies mutually agreed not to disclose their existence.
Shareholder lawsuits may not be a dime a dozen, but they are fairly commonplace, and usually contain allegations such as those raised against Dell. That said, this latest lawsuit adds more fuel to the fire of negativity surrounding what used to be the world's number one computer maker.

Retinal artery occlusion BRAO CRAO
Retinal artery occlusion is a blockage in one of the small arteries that carry blood to the retina. The retina is a layer of tissue in the back of the eye that is able to sense light.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Retinal arteries may become blocked by a blood clot or fat deposits that get stuck in the arteries. These blockages are more likely if there is hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) in the eye.
Clots may travel from other parts of the body and block an artery in the retina. The most common sources of clots are the heart and carotid artery in the neck.
Most blockages occur in people with conditions such as:
- Carotid artery disease, a condition in which the two large blood vessels in the neck become narrowed or blocked
- Diabetes
- Heart rhythm problem (atrial fibrillation)
- Heart valve problem
- High levels of fat in the blood (hyperlipidemia)
- High blood pressure
- Intravenous drug abuse
- Temporal arteritis (damage to arteries due to an immune response)
If a branch of the retinal artery is blocked, part of the retina will not receive enough blood and oxygen. If this happens, you may lose part of your vision.
Sudden blurring or loss of vision may occur in:
- All of one eye (central retinal artery occlusion or CRAO)
- Part of one eye (branch retinal artery occlusion or BRAO)
The retinal artery occlusion may last for only a few seconds or minutes, or it may be permanent.
A blood clot in the eye may be a warning sign of clots elsewhere. A clot in the brain may cause a stroke.
Signs and tests
Tests to evaluate the retina may include:
- Examination of the retina after dilating the pupil
- Fluorescein angiography
- Intraocular pressure
- Pupil reflex response
- Refraction
- Retinal photography
- Slit lamp examination
- Testing of side vision (visual field examination)
- Visual acuity
General tests should include:
- Blood pressure
- Blood tests, including cholesterol and triglyceride levels and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate
- Physical examination
Tests to identify the source of a clot from another part of the body:
- Echocardiogram
- Electrocardiogram
- Heart monitor for abnormal heart rhythm
- Duplex Doppler ultrasound of the carotid arteries
There is no proven treatment for vision loss that involves the whole eye, unless it is caused by another illness that can be treated.
Several treatments may be tried. These treatments must be given within 2 – 4 hours after symptoms begin to be helpful. However, the benefit of these treatments has never been proven, and they are rarely used.
- Breathing in (inhaling) a carbon dioxide-oxygen mixture. This treatment causes the arteries of the retina to widen (dilate).
- Massage of the eye
- The clot-busting drug, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)
The health care provider should look for the cause of the blockage. Blockages may be signs of a life-threatening medical problem.
Expectations (prognosis)
People with blockages of the retinal artery may not get their vision back.
- Glaucoma (CRAO only)
- Partial or complete loss of vision in the affected eye
- Stroke (due to the same factors that contribute to retinal artery occlusion, not due to the occlusion itself)
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you have sudden blurring or vision loss.
Measures used to prevent other blood vessel (vascular) diseases, such as coronary artery disease, may decrease the risk of retinal artery occlusion. These include:
- Eating a low-fat diet
- Exercising
- Stopping smoking
- Losing weight if you are overweight
Sometimes blood thinners may be used to prevent the artery from becoming blocked again. Aspirin or other anti-clotting drugs are used if the problem is in the carotid arteries. Warfarin or other more potent blood thinners are used if the problem is in the heart.

Update: Space Monkey won the best new startup prize at the Festival.
The startup that got the most attention at yesterday's LAUNCH Festival?
Storage company, Space Monkey.
Angel investor Bill Warner said: "It's a geek's dream. Take the entire web and split it all up in everybody's house. Napster meets Dropbox."
Space Monkey is like Box, or Dropbox, in that it offers cloud based storage. You get 1 terabyte of data for $10 a month. (Box charges $15/month and DropBox charges $20.)
It's unlike those companies in that it offers users a little box. That hardware is supposed to be networked with other boxes around the country to create a diffuse data center.
We asked Space Monkey's co-founder Clint Gordon-Carroll for a demo to find out why this cloud storage company was getting all the love.
"We have a small device that is our storage center. We have put the data center into this tiny device, which allows you to store your photos, videos, documents on it. That little device is peered to other devices in the network," Gordon-Carroll said.
The white box distributes your data to other white boxes in the network.
"When you put your first photo on a Space Monkey, that photo is broken up into tiny little pieces, encrypted and sprayed out geographically. If there's an earthquake in San Francisco, you don't want to lose your data. That's okay, some of that photo is in Chicago, some in Dallas, or some in Austin," Gordon-Carroll said.
Gordon-Carroll is solving a problem we don't often think about when we use Facebook and Google -- how much it costs to store all our data in energy intensive data centers.
"Anyone who is in the data center space today -- Dropbox Mozy, and Google -- they all have to deal with the power it costs to run the data center such as cooling and bandwidth. We take all of that away. We have this little device that sits in your home: cooling is free because it's ambient, bandwidth is a fixed cost, the electricity is 25 cents a month, and carbon emissions are crazy low compared to what Google's or Apple's is," Gordon-Carroll said.

I'm looking for purity.
Natural wholesomeness. Clean, untainted goodness. Healthy, nurturing freshness, whatever you like – you get the picture.
My search has brought me to an industrial estate just outside Tarifa – I'm walking on a cracked, ill-maintained pavement, along a rusting and dilapidated steel fence beyond which a patch of wasteland is a mess of weeds and debris. A little further up I can see a car-wash place and various noisy workshops. Trucks pass by. No sign of the goodness, as yet. I must have walked up and down every "street" in the place.
Ah, here it is: Tarifa Natural, it says over the warehouse loading dock. It doesn't look like the kind of place I should be walking into, but I do. I've been directed here, by the nice women in the herbolario in the old town, and I must have walked a mile all told, so I'm going in.
I step past a forklift and somewhere at the back of the building, out of sight, someone is using a pneumatic drill. The noise is deafening and there's no one around. I wander about and when the drill stops for a moment I yell "hola!"
Nothing. More

According to the Baltimore Sun's Aaron Wilson, Ravens safety Bernard Pollard played most of the season, including the Super Bowl, with six broken ribs.
Pollard first got hurt against the Philadelphia Eagles in the second game, aggravating the injury against the Washington Redskins and missing the final three games of the regular season.
Pollard hadn't previously disclosed the extent of his injury, but acknowledged what he had played through since the season is over and opponents won't be targeting his ailment.
Pollard is something of a persona non grata in New England as he's got a bit of a habit of taking out Patriots. He's been responsible for key injuries to Tom Brady, Wes Welker, Rob Gronkowski and most recently Stevan Ridley. This newest report only adds to the terrifying I-do-not-give-a-fuck reputation Pollard has crafted for himself.
