Today we take colour for granted. When it comes to colour we place more emphasis on fashion and interior design. But you may be surprised to know that colour as a healing tool has been in existence for thousands of years, but like many of our holistic therapies they have slipped by the wayside.
Colour is provided by nature, it's there 24/7, three hundred and sixty-five days a year. It's completely free and you can take as much as you want. Colour is very complicated on the inside, but you don't have to worry about that as each part of your body knows exactly how to integrate and interact with each colour. That said there may be times when you will need a little more exposure to a certain colour such as blue when you have a temperature or green when you need to detox your body.
So, let us have a look at what colour therapy is and how it can benefit you and your family and friends. Colour is a large part of this world, everywhere we look we see colour, we wear it, and we even eat it, from the food we eat to the cars we drive and the walls within our homes that we paint. Colour says a lot about us, but colour can also help us in our everyday life and bring benefits that you never imagined possible.
All our colours come from the sunlight, and when we have had a rain shower we normally get a rainbow and this shows us the seven colours, which are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Each colour has its own health benefits for your body and mind.
What does each colour mean?
Using red is great for activating vitality, improves blood pressure, aids digestion, increases hearth strength and circulation, encourages cell regeneration and helps combat anaemia as the red blood count goes up.
Orange will activate the lungs and thyroid gland, reduces cramping and strengthens the stomach, stimulates the building of new tissue and reduces flatulence.
Yellow will assist with improving the nervous system, helps reduce shooting pains from the nerves, gets rid of worms and parasites and cleans the liver and intestines.
Green is ideal for encouraging the growth hormone, cleans, purifies and combats germs, stimulates the brain and digestive system, soothes and harmonises the body and aids the release of mucus and phlegm's.
Blue is an antiseptic, reduces itching, can help to shrink tumours and removes goitre, warts and inflammation. Blue is used to reduce fevers and body temperature, can assist with weight loss and its coolness will help reduce inflammation and alleviate infections.
Indigo is a purifying colour especially for the blood, it cools, heals the eyes, ears and relieves tension and headaches.
Violet supports the white blood cells and the immunity system and is used for healing in general.
Let's have a look at the most basic way that you can bring all the benefits in to your body and with minimal effort.
A Ten-Minute Walk in the Sun:
Taking just ten minutes to walk in the sun will give you exposure to all the colours of the rainbow as these are all part of the sunlight. I'm sure that you'll have noticed how people change when they're out in the sun, park or when on holidays? They are happier, more vibrant, more energetic and in a much better mood.
You may be wondering how colours can affect and interact with our body? Colours are all vibrations, and each colour has its own frequency that it will vibrate at. Our bodies are made up of cells that vibrate at certain frequencies too and each colour will vibrate in sync with certain part(s) of our bodies. Now our blood and the colour red have similar frequencies so they interact together and by doing this we can benefit from this colour to help improve the body parts or systems that are in sync with the colour red.
A Full Body Immersion:
If you have any issues that are listed in the colours above, then one of the best ways to get relief and reduce the problem is to have a full body colour immersion. This is simple to do. You can sit in a room that is all one colour such as a blue room if you want to cool down or reduce itching, by sitting in a red room you will feel warmer and will help blood circulation. You can also buy a colour torch / wand that will allow you to change the colour of the light, you can then put the torch at a distance and stand in the beam of colour, or you can apply the colour to a smaller area that you are having a problem with such as using the blue light to reduce a swollen joint or inflammation on the body.
Getting your Colour Therapy from your Food:
Let's have a look at how you can get your colour therapy from your food?
The colour of our food can help with our health issues and promote good eating and assist in dieting. And it's not just the food that have benefits, the plates you eat from will have a major impact on your eating habits. Let's have a look at some of them?
Vegetables grown above the ground usually have more vibrant colours such as the greens, reds and yellows. This is because they have more access to direct sunlight. And it's not by coincidence that each fruit is a certain colour as science has proven that certain fruits give excellent benefits for certain parts of our bodies – Mother Nature has everything planned.
Remember that old saying "An Apple a Day Will Keep the Doctor Away"? Looking at the green colour above you can see that green foods are excellent for detoxing the body. Cucumber, broccoli, apples, celery, green tea and spinach are all great detox foods that help remove unwanted toxins and build a stronger immune system.
When you need a burst of energy try eating a red apple or an orange as this boosts your energy very quickly and will give you that much needed burst of energy.
White Plates
White plates do not detract from the colour of your food, plus white contains all the colours so it beneficial for you.
Red Plates
Red plates will make you want to eat more as the food looks more vibrant and hotter. Restaurants typically use a red table cloth and or walls to enliven the experience and the company, this improves the eating experience.
Blue Plates
If you want to lose weight, then blue is the colour to eat from. Blue makes the food seem colder and less interesting and therefore you are more likely to stop eating sooner or to leave a lot of food on the plate.
Green Plates
Green makes food look vibrant and has that vibe of healthy eating. This is a good plate colour to use on a diet as you will eat more reds, greens and yellows and you will feel powerful and healthy in the process.
Colour Cards for on the Go:
Another fantastic way to top up your body using colour is to have a set of colour cards. Normally you will have the 7 rainbow colours to start off with and as you progress you can add other colours or shades of colours to the pack. To use just select the colour card that you want to use and sit quietly and just stare at the colour card. Use intention to activate the colour and direct it to the part of the body that needs a quick refresh.
Another very old saying "Seeing Red" meaning that he or she is fuelled up or full of energy and ready to kick off.
One way of using the red card to give you a boost of energy is, if you are slow to get up in the morning and like to keep hitting snooze on the alarm clock and this slows your day down:
Take the red card and put it beside your alarm clock and when that buzzer goes off hit the snooze button – then just look at your red card for about sixty seconds, after a couple of days you will find that the red colour boosts your energy and you are ready to go meet the day head on. You can do this anytime, in the office, before or after a sporting interval or to give yourself a boost when walking, jogging or running.
I hope that this article will spur you on to research the colours around you and how you can reap the rewards of excellent health for you and your family.
All matters relating to any illness should be discussed with a medical doctor and you should not discontinue any medication without their consent. Colour therapy is a fantastic holistic therapy and should be used in conjunction with your doctor's advice and not as a replacement for your doctor.

The Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program develops and implements statewide strategies for the increased use of IPM on private and state managed lands.
IPM is a balanced approach to pest management which incorporates the many aspects of plant health care/crop protection in ways that mitigate harmful environmental impacts and protect human health. Some of the IPM program activities include generating IPM information, via newsletters, for growers, producers and land managers which inform them of relevant issues and can help them make alternative choices in their pest management decisions; developing an IPM in Schools program to educate school districts on IPM and how to implement its use; providing funding for IPM research; and providing IPM information to the general public.
Soybean Aphid Control
The MDA and the University of Minnesota developed a guide for managing soybean aphids on soybeans in Minnesota. Soybean aphids (Aphis glycines) can be an annual pest problem on soybeans (Glycines max) in Minnesota. Growers must invest time and money into scouting and management in order to limit economic loss due to this pest. Due to the complex life-cycle, timing of scouting requires a working-knowledge of its biology, scouting methods, and how an integrated pest management (IPM) plan can be implemented. Soybean fields may not experience high pest pressure every year, which reinforces the need for scouting and proper IPM implementation.
The Recommended Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Approach and Treatment Threshold for Soybean Aphid Control in Soybean (PDF) provides information needed to increase monitoring and scouting knowledge. This guide provides the necessary information to promote judicious use of insecticides.

Romney picks Eddie Munster as VP
Well it looks like that if the TeaParty (there is no republican party anymore) wins in November, I'll not be able to retire as soon as I had hoped.
The Eddie Munster budget plan will turn medicare into a coupon/voucher system and Social Security will be gutted and there will be less and less help for the poor.
Well if the TeaParty gets elected I will very rapidly become one of the poor.
Eddie is a supply sideer. Meaning more of the failed RayGunOmics that caused this whole mess in the first place.
More here later today.

I love reading articles online and I use Readability (now) to help me saved the contents that I can read later. I chose readability over instapaper and Read It Later (now pocket) because it's totally FREE.
Here is an article from lifehacker that compares the 3 services. A very interesting and useful article if you are trying to find out which service suits you.
Instapaper and RIL (used to) charge for their mobile application. Although they are much more integrated with 3rd party apps as compared to readability but this problem is easily solved by using IFTTT.
Readability have a clean, good for reading interface 🙂 definitely the app for reading text articles. Now RIL is now renamed Pocket and it's free. I tried Pocket and I think there might be a chance that Pocket replace Readability…
Pocket offers a slightly (in my opinion) poorer UI by it allows us to store/search for videos and images. This feature certainly attracts me.
Both applications are free now on mobile. I wonder if Instapaper would be free soon for it's mobile app.
A few interesting questions came up as I blog about this post.
- If you are using Readability would you change to Pocket that offers more multimedia features?
- How is the switching cost like for you towards mobile reading applications?
- How do you think applications like Readability, Pocket or Instapaper can increase their users switching cost?
Would love to hear from you people 😀

See above.I wrote this story to find out my mistakes in;
- The usage of tenses.
- The usage of vocabulary
- Orderliness
Please guide me.
1. The mourners started
steppingwalking towards the exit gate of the graveyard after attending the funeral services of someone named Jackson. Taking care of the sanctity of the place, most of them walked silently. A few of them lowering their voicessoftly/in hushed tones discussed the qualities (virtues) Jackson possessed as a human being.
2. Jackson's coworker spoke softly, "he was very cooperative and was always ready to help his associates."
3. "He loved my careful driving and often gave me cash rewards. "Jackson's driver said in praise of Jackson
's praise.
4. "He was such a thorough gentleman that he never reprimanded me even if I
would taketook leave without his prior approval." Jackson's manservant put his sharechipped in intothe discussion.
5. Patrick, one of Jackson's neighbors was very vocal in describing his character. "The deceased had many qualities but to me his patience at
thea time of disagreeable occasionsdisagreement was exceptional. His quality to control his anger was matchless. I always found him cool and composed. I think, if we adopt these qualities, we can make our society more viableharmonious. Disputes, tensions and hatred can easily be avoided if we follow (adopt) the qualities of the deceased in our lives." He finishedended his speech. Mourners around him appreciated his views.
Conversing with one anotherCarrying on with their conversations, the mourners walked until they reached the exit gate of the graveyard.
7. They
almost crowdedthronged the gate since it being not wide enough for them to passgo through iteasily unless they did it one at a timemoved in single file.
8. In an attempt to go first, one of the mourners unintentionally
struckshoved Patrick with his shoulder. Without wasting time,Patrick immediately grabbed his shirt's collarhim by the shirt collar and pushed him badlyaway. He ceaselessly abusedscolded him. Some of them hurriedly moved forward to try to keepintervened to calm Patrick calmdown and made way forlet Patrick togo first, which he did with a casual gait.
9. They all had just heard him preaching about the importance of patience. One of the mourners who had been witnessing
this, whispered, "easier said than done"(He does not practise what he preaches/He doesn't walk the talk) with a meaningfulsnide smile.

It's not official yet, but it will be soon enough, that Eagles quarterback Nick Foles will make it to the Pro Bowl.
That was guaranteed Saturday night when the New England Patriots beat the Indianapolis Colts. That means at least one of the six quarterbacks chosen will have to drop out of the game because his team will play in the Super Bowl. Foles is the first alternate. Players in the Super Bowl are not allowed to play in the Pro Bowl because Pro Bowl is held Jan. 26, the week before the Super Bowl.
The remaining AFC teams (before Sunday's games) _ New England's Tom Brady, Denver's Peyton Manning and San Diego's Phillip Rivers _ all have a Pro Bowl quarterback.
There's a chance that more than quarterback will have to miss the game because in the NFC, Seattle's Russell Wilson also made the Pro Bowl, as did Carolina's Cam Newton, whose team was playing the San Francisco 49ers later today.
Foles took over as the Eagles' starter in October when Michael Vick injured his hamstring. He went 8-3, including playoffs. He threw 29 touchdown passes with just two interceptions, and finished with a quarterback rating of 119.2, the third best rating in NFL history.
The Eagles had two players make the Pro Bowl in running back LeSean McCoy and left tackle Jason Peters. But Peters has already withdrawn. Wide receiver DeSean Jackson and left guard Evan Mathis are second alternates at their respective positions, and Mathis seems to have a good chance to get in, while Jackson's chances seem to be tougher.
Of the wide receivers chosen, only one, Denver's Demaryius Thomas, is still alive in the playoffs. If the Broncos make it and another player drops out, then Jackson will be in. Of the guards chosen, three are on teams still alive in the playoffs _ San Francisco's Mike Iupati, New England's Logan Makins and Denver's Louis Vasquez.
If San Francisco and either New England or Denver make it to the Super Bowl, then Mathis will be in.

American health scientists have discovered why red and processed meats raise risk of heart disease. While it has been known for a while that a diet high in saturated fat and salt can raise risk of developing heart disease, it was not understood why even eating lean red meats which are low in fat would also pose a health risk.
The new finding was discovered by scientists at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. Co-author Dr. Stanley Hazen, head of cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, spoke with Nature Magazine to explain the findings.
It seems that the real problem is not the meat itself, but bacteria in the human gut which converts a nutrient found in beef into a compound which then causes an increase in plaques in the arteries. Red and processed meat is the catalyst but the real problem is another compound.
In the study l-carnitine was given to 77 people. Following the consumption of L-carnitine levels of the compound trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) in the blood rose. This compound can alter metabolism and slow the removal of cholesterol from the walls of the arteries.
However, when L-carnitine was given to vegans and vegetarians, far less TMAO was produced than was seen in meat eaters. When the faeces were examined it was seen that meat eaters and vegetarians had very different bacteria make-up.
The conclusion was that meat eaters build up a colony of bacteria which can turn L-carnitine into TMAO, and this is what poses the greatest health risk.
Feeding Mice L-Carnitine Doubles Risk of Arterial Plaques
The researchers also found that giving mice L-Carnitine doubled their risk of developing arterial plaques – if they had their "normal" gu bacteria. When the mice were given antibiotics to cleanse their guts the presence of L-Carnitine did not increase the development of plaques.
New Approach To Diet and Health
Each person will have a slightly different bacteria colony inside their gut, which is dependent on a combination of genetics and lifestyle and total diet. For some people what is already inside their guts could be more important than what they eat.
It seems that being a vegetarian or vegan is healthier in terms of of gut flora. Meat should be eaten in moderation, especially meats which contain high levels of L-carnitine.
Dietary Sources of L-carnitine
As well as red meat (beef steak and ground beef), pork and bacon are also high in L-carnitine.
L-carnitine is also present in dairy products and in small quantities in asparagus, avocado, peanut butter, tempeh and wheat. Cod and chicken also contain L-carnitine.

Warning to Bodybuilders and Athletes
Many bodybuilders and athletes take L-Carnitine supplements along with additional dairy (whey) and meat. It is now thought that they are putting themselves at greater risk of cardiovascular disease.
People take L-Carnitine supplements to increase energy, promote weight loss and athletics performance. However, Dr. Stanley Hazen points out that there is not actually any science behind these claims, and he finishes by saying "I see no reason why anyone needs to take it."
Final Points
We also know that red meat and processed meat is linked with increased risk of colon cancer. The role of bacteria and L-carnitine could be involved here too.

How to cite the article; suggest additional literature
Lasers can be used in various ways to measure distances or displacements without physical contact.
In fact they allow for the most sensitive and precise length measurements, for extremely fast recordings (sometimes with a bandwidth of many megahertz), and for the largest measurement ranges, even though these qualities are usually not combined by a single technique.
Depending on the specific demands, very different technical approaches can be appropriate.
They find a wide range of applications, for example in architecture, inspection of fabrication halls, criminal scene investigation (CSI), and in the military.
Techniques for Distance Measurements
Triangulation is a geometric method, useful for distances in the range of ≈ 1 mm to many kilometers.
Time-of-flight measurements (or pulse measurements) are based on measuring the time of flight of a laser pulse from the measurement device to some target and back again.
Such methods are typically used for large distances such as hundreds of meters or many kilometers.
Using advanced techniques, it is possible to measure the distance between Earth and the Moon with an accuracy of a few centimeters.
Typical accuracies of simple devices for short distances are a few millimeters or centimeters. phase shift method uses an intensity-modulated laser beam.
Compared with interferometric techniques, its accuracy is lower, but it allows unambiguous measurements over larger distances and is more suitable for targets with diffuse reflection.
Note that the phase shift technique is sometimes also called a time-of-flight technique, as the phase shift is proportional to the time of flight, but the term is more suitable for methods as described above where the time of flight of a light pulse is measured.
Frequency modulation methods involve frequency-modulated laser beams, for example with a repetitive linear frequency ramp.
The distance to be measured can be translated into a frequency offset, which may be measured via a beat note of the sent-out and received beam.
Interferometers allow for distance measurements with an accuracy which is far better than the wavelength of the light used.
Most laser tape measures are very accurate, even our recommended budget model is accurate down to +/-3mm with the more advanced models, accurate down to +/- 1mm. With a standard tape measure you could never be this accurate as a slight bend or kink in the tape, would mean your measurement would never be as accurate as a laser distance measurer.
Continuous measurement
All models have this simple feature and it works like a manual tape measure. You can move the laser tape measure, away or towards a fixed point, and the reading will automatically change. This is ideal for situations such as putting up fixing or picture frames, where you want to space them all apart evenly.
Stake-out function
Used to measure the same length repetitively. For example, you may want to fit a spot light under kitchen cabinets every 300mm. From a starting point, the feature would tell you every time you reach another 300mm, so you could fit a spots light exactly 300mm apart.
Look for models that conform to the new ISO international standard for laser measuring instruments. This means, they have been tested and will accurately measure in normal working conditions, not just in ideal situations in a lab.
Batteries and Battery Life
Laser tapes have either replaceable or rechargeable batteries. Battery life depends greatly on the amount and type of use. Most units will need new batteries or need to be recharged frequently (every to hours). So, it is a good idea always to keep spare batteries with you and to power off the unit when you arenot using it. Some units have an auto shut-off mode to help increase battery life.
Many models can store multiple measurements, so you will not need to stop and write down measurements as you go along. Most models store at least a few measurements. Look for one that stores multiple measurements if you are planning on using it for big or complex jobs. Memory is not important for small jobs though.
Other Features
Many laser tape measures also come with convenient accessories. Most models include batteries, and some come with a carrying pouch or a holster and belt loop. Most laser tape measures come with a basic manufacturer's warranty, and the manufacturer will replace the unit if it is defective or breaks within the warranty period. Rechargeable units generally include a rechargeable battery and include a battery and charger.
Some laser tapes are made for heavy outdoor use and have durable cases, scratch proof screens or back-lit screens. Others are made for lighter indoor use. Look for something durable and shock, scratch and water resistant if you are using it outdoors. Scratch resistance is a nice feature for indoor use, but you will not need one that is water resistant if you are just using it inside.
Mid-range laser measure
This covers laser measures that are used in general construction. It's for people who are into construction jobs and need to do a lot of measurements. This works mostly indoors but the "indoor" may be a fabrication yard. This can be used by both professionals and amateurs depending on the frequency of use.
Hi-end laser measure
This covers laser measures that leave little or no room for errors. If you're into construction and fabrication jobs where the slightest error in measurement can be risky, then the hi-end laser measures should be your best option. This is mostly used by professionals and they usually cover the widest ranges with no errors.
Now that you know the categories, do you know what your measurement needs are? If yes, our job is half done. The next step is to look at the features that most laser measures have, compare them to your measurement needs and voila, you have all the information needed to make your purchase decision. Even if you don't know your measurement needs just yet, we trust that you will, by the end of this review.
Please note that while it might be good to have a multimeter handy (for situations where a laser measure isn't ideal), they are different tools. Also don't forget to use adequate eye protection when using a laser measure as pointing a laser directly into the eye can cause permanent retina damage. Maximum caution should be taken when using this device.
The price of a product is usually reflective of its quality. Different factors affect the price that a brand places on its products. For instance, a brand that is already known for certain product lines may have more expensive options for that product. That doesn't mean that lesser known brands don't have products with similar or better quality. Many of them, due to competition, often lower the price of their products so as to compete fairly with the known brands. So, it's safe to say that price is not a true test of quality. This is also true of laser measures.
Why go for a laser measure with complicated functions when all you need is one with which to measure length or distance from one point to another? Some functions of a laser measure are: addition and subtraction, continuous measurement, single indirect measurement, double indirect measurement, combined indirect measurement, Pythagorean measurement, angle measurement, multi surface area measurement, maximum measurement, minimum measurement, trapezoid measurement, etc. Your job need determines whether getting a laser measure with these number of functions will ease your work or whether it will be too many unnecessary functions.
Some laser measures have back-lit screens while others don't. If your job requires that you work in dark rooms or very bright light, it'll be preferable to choose a laser measure that won't make you squint or strain your eyes to read its display. Some laser measures also have multiple line displays which can be helpful in reading different measurements at once.
Battery life is very key to determining your choice of laser measure. Most options run on either replaceable batteries or rechargeable batteries. If you work for long hours, it'll be more convenient to work with those with replaceable batteries as your job may not be interrupted.
Do you need a laser measure with features such as a sound marker, auto shut off, Bluetooth connectivity, etc.? These are some interesting features that add to the functionality of your laser measure, so be on the look out for them.
How To Use A Laser Distance Measure
To make a simple distance measurement using a laser measure the user must place the instrument at one end of the line that is to be measured and aim the laser beam at a solid target such as a wall or cabinet.
If a solid object is not available then a plastic target can be placed at the required destination to allow the laser beam to be reflected.
Next, the button is pressed and the distance is measured and displayed on the laser measure's screen.
If a simple distance was all that was required then the job is already done but a whole range of options still exist for the user.
Areas and volumes can be calculated by taking further measurements and making use of the on-board functions to perform the calculations for you.
Each model is different so it is always advisable to spend some time with the user manual before attempting some of the more advanced tasks.

Range Finder
Digital Distance Meter is a device used for the Measurement of Distance from an object a to a particular point. It uses laser beam in order to determine the distance to a reflective Object. With the use of the Laser Distance Measuring Tools, one can easily achieve accurate measurement readings in a very short period of time with minimum efforts.
Different Techniques Used to Measure Distance
When you go out to buy Digital Distance Meters, the first thing is to know the product features. The product features help you to choose the best Distance meter for your specific sets of requirements. Here are the prominent features which help you narrow down your search of Digital Distance Meter to an appropriate selection.
Time of Flight
The most common form of laser rangefinder operates on the time of flight principle by sending a laser pulse in a narrow beam towards the object and measuring the time taken by the beam to be reflected off from the target and returned back to the device.
With the speed of light known, and an accurate measurement of the time taken, the distance can be calculated. However, this technique is not so commonly used for measurement of high precision sub-millimetre as the speed of light is high. However, triangulation and other techniques are widely used for Measurement Of distances.
Tips to Select Digital Distance Meter
When selecting one of these tools to purchase, we recommend you first compare the range or distance they are rated to measure(based on your work requirement) since some have better range than the others. Also, some models have greater accuracy than others and some models are available with Bluetooth data transfer facility.
How to Operate a Digital Distance Meter

Features to Consider
Prior to purchasing consider the various uses for your measuring tool. Are you are simply looking to replace your measuring tape for logging distance, or do you need a device that can perform and store calculations? Measuring tools have advanced functions that can make almost any professional task go a bit faster.
Look for the total range of any single device. If you consistently work in a smaller area or on bigger commercial sites or larger homes, you need a device that has a larger measuring range. You may also need a device with larger memory capacity for complex projects, such as road construction.
Laser Distance Measurer
Laser distance measurers are not only faster and easier to use than linear tape measurer, they are also more accurate. Simply aim the device to your end point and the distance displays on the screen. Many of these devices can also calculate various angles and perform calculations. Some of these quality measuring tools have memory capacity for auto calculations that are common to your projects or profession.
Higher-end models have a much higher range than standard models. For example, a lower-range model can measure distances of up to 20 meters. This standard model should suffice for single unit dwellings, smaller homes or offices. Larger units measure distances of 300 to 800 feet. These are well suited for larger homes and commercial projects. Road workers require distance measurers with longer ranges, and should also look for models that have Bluetooth functionality.
There is also precision to consider. Lower-end models will ensure accuracy up to 1/inch. For general measurements and estimates, this is sufficient. For jobs where finite accuracy is crucial, such laying pipe, grading and pouring a foundation or grading for a road, look for a model that guarantees accuracy of 1.0 mm or less.
Multi-Angle Measurement
One of the primary advantages of how laser measuring tools function is their multi-angle capability. Simply mount a multi-angle laser to a tripod, fasten it to a column or hang it from a wall and allow it to measure multiple angles at once. Many multi-angle lasers also perform multiple calculations for you with the data collected. Depending upon the nature of your work, this could help improve your estimates and overall workflow.
Key Accessories for your Measurement Tool
There are several different types of laser accessories that help make your measurement tool function with greater accuracy. A wall mount is a simple and affordable solution that allows you to mount the laser level to a single spot. This device typically attaches via a clip or a clamp to ceiling trim or a beam. Look for options that include several height adjustments for different types of measuring tools.
Pole systems and rods help elevate the height of the laser level to measure distances either high above or below you. Telescoping rods can adjust to different lengths depending upon the situation. Tension poles secure almost anywhere in the room for convenient and steady 360-degree measuring, or capturing multiple angles. These accessories are easily mounted and taken down without tools or hardware.
The most popular accessory for the professional is the mounting tripod. Most manufacturers offer a line of tripods designed specifically for their larger multi-angle transit levels and surface lasers. They also work with point lasers to hold a steady line for all types of measuring circumstances.
Look for tripods made of heavier and sturdier equipment for outdoor uses, such as roadwork and surveys. These are typically rated for professional construction jobs and are weightier and made of higher-grade materials than lower-end tripods. They may also have a center column that can make smoother and quicker height adjustments and could have a greater overall height allowance.
Electronic and leaser measurement tools provide more accuracy and may be easier to use than their analogue counterparts. Bluetooth functionality helps make calculations on the fly and add data to existing plans. These versatile features can determine how to choose a measuring tool to help your projects go more smoothly and help make on-site estimates more accurate.
Accurately measuring long distances
DEWALT's DW03050 laser distance measurer can measure up to a distance of 165-feet with uncompetitive accuracy of 1/8th of an inch. (They also sell a DEWALT DW0310330-foot measurer accurate up to 1/3of an inch). This one feature puts this laser distance measuring tool ahead of the competition. This comes as a very handy tool for construction workers, estimators, electricians, woodworks, drywallers, contractors and anyone from any kind of a project in need of accurate measurements.
Leica DISTO D2
What I took into account when selecting the most accurate digital laser tape measure was not only accuracy in distance, but also accuracy over distance. I expect measuring tools to be the most accurate the closer the measurement is.
But what I want to know is does the accuracy hold up over a long distance. That is why I chose the Leica DISTO DLaser Measure as the most accurate. Over a distance of 330feet, the DISTO Dstill is accurate within 1/1of an inch.
Reasons To Own A Digital Laser Measuring Tool
Have you seen those people who just walk up and hold a compact looking tool against a wall and immediately know the square footage of a room? Yes, I have too, and it made me want to have that super power too.
The tool they use to unleash this super power is called a laser measure. Or in my case, since I use it instead of a tape measure in many cases, a digital laser tape measure.
How Accurate Are Laser Measures
But if you have incredibly far distances you need to measure, and have even more money to spend, then there are laser measures that will go up to 82feet, and still be as accurate as 1/2inch at that distance. Now that's incredible.
Uses For A Digital Laser Tape Measure
Some of the more advanced laser tape measures with more functionality even have stud finding features and will alert you at the correct distance where one should be located.
Floor Installation
Doug Mahoney
After dropping, extending, and scrubbing the blades of 1different tape measures with 60-grit sandpaper, we found that the best one is the classic 25-foot Stanley PowerLock Tape Measure. It's our pick after 4hours of research and three annual updates to this guide, including another 1hours of work this year testing against new tools. That's because the PowerLock delivers the best basic combination of durability, ease of use, and accuracy—and all for a very low price. In fact, the PowerLock is one of the least expensive tape measures that we've looked at.
How we picked
DeBoer and Clement agreed that a tape measure that can stand out unsupported for 7-feet is more than enough for at-home use.
Laser characteristics to be measured
Today's performance measurement products can gather all kinds of information. Laser output power is a good indicator of the system's overall performance. Tracking this measurement over time gives engineers or technicians the information they need to determine when corrective action is necessary. However, laser power does not tell the entire story about the system's behavior.
Beam profiling is an important set of measurements. Along with the visual representation of how the laser's beam is sized and shaped, other useful measurements can be generated. These may include ellipticity, Gaussian or top-hat fit, beam propagation ratio, or the beam parameter product. Laser spot size, or beam waist, and laser output power also are critical measurements to be taken when trying to understand the laser's interaction with the process.
Figure 2D and 3D beam profiles of a laser's raw beam. Ellipticity: 97%; Gaussian goodness of fit: 90%.
When components start to age and become contaminated, thermal effects become more of a factor. When losses occur due to contamination, laser components can change shape. Even the slightest changes can result in a shift of the laser's focused spot location. When this happens, the beam size being applied to the process will increase, resulting in a relatively lower power density. Dynamic focused spot location should be measured periodically in order to ensure optimal laser system performance.
When working with pulsed lasers, the time duration of the pulse and the pulse shape often are good indicators of how efficiently the laser's pulsing technique is performing. The programmed pulse shape, pulse duration and the pulse frequency (i.e., repetition rate) should be measured periodically and compared with the laser's settings.
Performance measurement techniques
The need to measure laser performance is as old as the laser itself. There have been many tools and techniques that have served the industry well, and they still are in use today but may not be providing the complete story of how your laser is performing. Some laser engineers still use simple, convection-cooled thermopile devices, known as "power pucks." Similar in nature to a meat thermometer, the element is placed in the beam's path and away from the focused spot, and the laser is fired for a given amount of time. The device then presents a number — either a temperature reading or an output reading, the latter of which is measured in watts. While this can indicate how the laser is performing at that point in time, the data usually is incomplete.
Electronic power measurement gives the engineer a better indication of how the laser is behaving. A water-cooled thermopile sensor allows for the collection of laser power measurement data throughout the course of several minutes. This sensor, coupled with either a meter or interface to a local PC or laptop, provides a graph of how laser power changes during this time period. Dynamic trends in laser power tell the engineer what might be wrong with a laser. For instance, a consistently low laser power — in the range of to 1percent or so — indicates that optics should be cleaned or changed; a drop in laser power over a few seconds indicates a damaged or well-aged optic in the beam's path; and erratic power readings could indicate something wrong with the laser source, such as a faulty power supply or a resonator gas leak.
Line Lasers
Pinpoint alignment by converting to the laser equivalent of blue chalk lines—green for indoors, red for outdoors—that can be viewed across open spaces and on walls, floors or suspended items. Hilti line laser tools are useful for aligning suspended ceilings, piping, sockets, junction boxes and more.
Turning The Unit On and Off
Once the battery is correctly installed, most brands of wireless digital thermometers simply require users to engage the trigger mechanism in order to turn the unit on and begin operation. An automatic shut-off feature is typically included in all models which will turn the unit off after a set period of time (usually between and 1seconds).
Selecting Unit of Measurement
Infrared thermometers typically allow users to be able to change the unit of temperature between Celsius and Fahrenheit subject to their individual requirements. Most models use Fahrenheit as the default, or pre-set unit of measurement and the LCD screen will generally have either a °C or °F symbol displayed to confirm the current setting.
To change the unit of measurement, users should refer to the instruction manual accompanying their infrared thermometer. In most cases however, once the unit has been turned on and LCD screen comes on, users can change the temperature scale by pushing the function buttons underneath the LCD display marked "°C/°F" until it is the correct setting for the application.
For those models that do not have a "°C/°F" function button, there is typically a switch contained in the battery compartment which can be used to adjust this setting.
Laser Pointer and Backlight
Most models come with either a single or dual red laser pointer to assist with aiming the digital pyrometer and a backlight to enable the LCD display to be visible in dark or low-light environments.
In some units these two features are permanently enabled and cannot be turned on or off manually. In others, these features can be manually adjusted either via the feature buttons underneath the LCD display or switches located inside the battery compartment. Separate symbols will usually be displayed on the LCD screen when these features are turned on.
Measuring a Temperature
To measure a temperature, all that is required is to point the unit at an object and pull the trigger. The temperature reading will usually appear on the LCD screen in less than a second.
Once the trigger is released, the reading will normally continue to be displayed on the LCD until a new temperature measurement is taken, or the unit automatically shuts itself off after a pre-set time.
If using a single laser pointer to assist with aiming, it is important to note that some models set the laser a small distance from the center of the temperature measurement. With a dual laser pointer, the area in between the laser dots will often be the spot where the unit will take its measurement. As there are slight differences between models, it is recommended that users review the instruction manual prior to operation to ensure that they will be taking the temperature measurement from the correct area.
It is also important to consider the distance-to-spot ratio of the unit prior to taking a temperature measurement. Further discussion on distance-to-spot ratio and field of view can be found in "Factors to Consider Prior to Purchase".
There are more advanced features which accompany certain models of wireless digital thermometers which are beyond the scope of this basic set of instructions. Emissivity is one feature of all infrared thermometers which are a major factor in temperature measurement and has been reserved its own special section for a detailed explanation.
Temperature Range
One of the first considerations a prospective buyer of an infrared thermometer should take into account is the range of temperatures that the unit is able to measure. Obviously if the thermometer is unable to read temperatures of the upper or lower limits required by the end user then it will not be suitable. That said, the growth in the number of models available on the market allows for great variety in choice to the consumer.
Traditionally pyrometers were designed to measure the surface temperatures of objects with a very high temperature however with the advancement of technology has come the innovation to also allow for the measurement of materials which may be extremely cold.
Many models of infrared thermometers can comfortably measure temperatures within a range of -50°C to 500°C (-58°F to 932°F), however premium models offer a user the ability to measure temperatures in excess of 1,000°C. Again the primary consideration is the intended application of the device and the budget of a prospective buyer.
Infrared Thermometer Applications
Thermometers have been used as a measuring device for temperature for centuries and the invention of infrared thermometers has allowed users to be able to take accurate and reliable measurements of surface temperatures without requiring direct contact with an object.
After time, temperature is the second most frequently measured physical unit and various fields depend heavily on accurate temperature measurements as an important indicator of product quality or equipment conditions. Technological innovation and efficient mass production techniques in recent years have seen a decrease in the cost of infrared thermometers and an increase in their reliability. This in turn has seen an increase in new applications for these diagnostic instruments.
Professional and general applications for wireless digital thermometers are limitless only by the imagination and the following is a summary of the more common uses of these devices.
General Applications
Many of the professional applications of digital thermometers can be of equal benefit to the general consumer and within the home.
It is important to remember that infrared thermometers only measure surface temperatures and not internal temperature. So for some popular applications in and around the home, they will provide only a very general guide of internal temperature if that is the intended purpose. Their increasing popularity for such applications lies with in their ability to measure temperature quickly and without making a mess.
The above list is a sample of some of the cool uses of an infrared thermometer in and around the home. Their application is limited only by the imagination and they are an invaluable device for every home. Digital pyrometers are easy to operate and now that they are more affordable, there really are no excuses for every family to enjoy the benefits and efficiencies they can provide.
We Want to Hear From You!
Manual leveling lasers require you to manually level them through the adjustment of footscrews and bubble vials. Self-leveling lasers automatically find and maintain a level within a specific range. With some lasers, you can use the bubble vial for a "rough" level and then the laser will more accurately level itself. Some automatic leveling lasers will continuously level themselves as needed and will even shut off if they get out of level by a certain range. Typically, self-leveling lasers level with the use of an internal pendulum, while automatic leveling lasers level by electronic servo motors.
Horizontal vs. Dual-Beam Lasers
Horizontal beam lasers project a single beam, whereas dual-beam, or split-beam, lasers show horizontal or vertical beams to establish a regular plane, as well as produce a reference point such as a plumb-up dot on the ceiling.
Most Popular Horizontal Rotating Laser
The Leica Rugby 50 is the most popular horizontal rotating laser because of its ease of use and durability in the field. The Rugby 50 has a simple, one-button operation and is fully automatic.
Primarily used in general construction, this model is very rugged, reliable, and accurate – perfect for today's contractor. This laser has a high-impact composite housing, is fully sealed with an enclosed head, is watertight for all conditions, and has a long battery life.
The Leica Rugby 50 is designed to always turn on in automatic self-leveling mode, so you do not need to worry if the laser has been set up correctly. The H.I. or elevation alert function monitors the laser's leveling. If there is significant movement or disturbance of the tripod, the alert function will activate and the laser will stop operation and sound an alarm to prevent possible errors.
The Rugby 50 continuously self-levels during normal operation, and if a small vibration or disturbance causes an out-of-level condition, the head stops momentarily and the emission LED will blink until the unit re-levels.
Most Popular Rotating Laser for the Value
The Leica Rugby 800 Series (810/820/830/840) are the most popular rotating lasers for the value. With more functions than the Rugby 50, this series offers simple and reliable one-button lasers that protect against mistakes. The single axis slopes up to 45° with a manual slope adapter, and the built-in 1cm detection window allows you to easily detect its beam over the entire distance.
The Rugby 820 is ideal for concrete forming, pad placement and framework leveling, and setting foundations and footings. The Rugby 830 is most used for precision jobs such as long-range leveling applications in general construction and machine control up to 4,430 feet and 140° F.
The solar panel enables you to power and charge anywhere, anytime, and the maximum temperature stability guarantees the highest accuracy across the entire operating temperature range.
The Rugby 840 laser has the highest application performance for any leveling, aligning, and squaring applications on site. Smart Targeting enables tie-in slopes in single or dual axis and automatically aligns at the touch of a button. Smart Lock monitors and corrects the laser plane in real time, ensuring you always have reliable results.
Most Popular Dual-Grade Laser
These lasers also have agricultural applications such as land leveling or tiling, and are used for concrete forming and framework, retention ponds, and setting foundations and footings.
Features include a simple-to-use, five-button keypad, real-time grade matching, dual batteries, a scope mount in both axes, a visible and invisible laser beam, grade capability in both axes, long-range remote control, axis alignment, laser plane stabilization, and enhanced operating range.
Most Popular Interior Construction Laser
The Leica Rugby 5Interior Laser is the most popular interior construction laser we sell. It provides contractors with everything they need for just about any leveling or alignment job, from drop ceilings and floor layouts to setting supports for windows, cabinets, interior walls, and more.
With the Leica Rugby 55, the stationary beam can be quickly positioned in 90-degree increments, making layout easier. By selecting zero RPS with the head speed button, you can automatically position the rotating head to plumb down for alignment of the laser over a reference point.
A "sleep mode" feature allows you to use the remote to put the laser into sleep mode for two hours, so you can save battery life without disturbing your setup.
The Leica Rugby 5features an easy-to-use keypad, a watertight seal, variable head speeds, selectable scanning modes, a bright red beam, and an alkaline or rechargeable battery pack. Accessories include an IR remote control, wall mount bracket, ceiling target grid, alkaline battery holder, and a single-cell alkaline battery.
Most Popular Line and Dot Laser
The Leica Lino Series are popular line and dot lasers that are available with either three or five points, or with crosslines.
The Leica Lino Pis an easy-to–use, three-point laser is ideal for plumbing projects. This self-leveling laser comes equipped with Power Range Technology™ and a magnetic multifunctional adapter.
The Leica Lino Phas five laser beams. The beams are exactly at right angles to each other, which makes setting-out tasks easier and interior fitting-out more precise and efficient. This easy-to–use, self-leveling laser also comes equipped with Power Range Technology™ and a magnetic multifunctional adapter.
Most Rugged Construction Laser
The Leica Rugby 800 Series are some of the toughest lasers on the market today, popular because of their rugged design.
These lasers include the Leica PROTECT lifetime manufacturer's warranty plus a two-year Knockdown Warranty – a major selling point to our customers. This warranty covers the entire product lifetime, including free repair or replacement of all defective parts. If any knockdown occurs within two years, all repairs to the internal self-leveling assembly are also covered under the policy.
These lasers also include a new generation of lithium-ion battery that is unbreakable and can be charged anywhere, anytime on site. The Rugby Series are also the only lasers in the industry with a military-grade certification (MIL-STD810G) and IP6rating.

This team led the league in blocked shots per game in three of the last four seasons, and was second in the one that it didn't.
This team also finished in the Top 6 in rebounding in the last four years.
Who is this team? Without cheating and looking at a stats site you'd have to guess the Pacers with Roy Hibbert and David West, or a defensively minded team like the Spurs, with Tim Duncan leading the block-n-board bash, or Da Bulls, with high-end Crafty Breuer Joakim Noah, his pony tail and the other dudes swatting shots and grabbing clankers.
Nope, nope and nope. It's the Oklahoma City Thunder, a team that – despite having blocks leader Serge Ibaka (3.0 bpg) in the hizzouse – just doesn't pop into your mind as a team that would pile up a mound of boards and blocks. We see Kevin Durant blowing guys away on the break and rising up for those improbable three-ball makes, and we see Russell Westbrook somehow getting to the cup and somehow getting it to go.
Yet that is indeed the case, and this is important because we know that no matter who's on the roster besides Serge (and obviously Durant and Westbrook), the Thunder is going to be near the top of these two categories. And that means if we need to grab someone who has dual-threat board/block ability right quick, OKC will be the place to go.
Does it seem kind of odd that one of the smallest point guards in NBA history, lil' Scotty Brooks, presides over this board-and-block bonanza? Maybe, but then consider that the Thunder play exactly the same way Brooks did under the tutelage of Jimmy Lynam back in his Philly days – balls out, head first, pushing it all the way from the baseline to the other end, even if it was for a half-court set.
That helped James Harden turn into the player he is for the Rockets, but it also helped guys like Nick Collison, human albatross Kendrick Perkins, Thabo Sefolosha, Hasheem Thabeet, Nazr Mohammed and even Nenad Krstic (remember that guy? Anyone know where he went? Anyone care?) collect rebounding and swatting numbers above what they would have had if not for Brooks' high-energy attack.
(I realize a lot of Thunder fans are pissed at Brooks after the Thunder got smacked around by the Grizzlies last year. But come on man, the guy averages more than 50 wins a year! And he had 60 last year! Stop making me write in superlatives already!)
It's been a quiet off-season for OKC, but as a team that is constantly squeezing the most out of young guys and nobodies, there are, as usual, a few sleepers to look out for.
One is No. 12 pick Steve Adams, who is 6-11 and has a 7'5″ wingspan – idea for a shot-blocker and, after spending some time with Durant and Ibaka, maybe he'll even become a strong rebounder.
Second-year small forward Perry Jones III is another guy with some upside – he's also 6-11, and while he barely played at all as a rookie, he could board (7.2 rpg) and block (about 1.0 per game) while at Baylor.
Also look out for second-round pick Andre Roberson, a 6-foot-7 small forward who has been one of the most impressive guys on the Thunder's Summer League team. He's building a rep as a guy who does all the little things, which means he'll get his share of the kind of hustle stats we love in B-n-B Land.
So there you go. You've been Thunderstruck!

The Virginias are barely sweet with a touch of citrus. There's an earth note that is sublimated by the grass and hay. The nic-hit is extremely mild. Burns at a moderate pace with no bite or harshness, little moisture in the bowl, and consistently dull flavor. Needs an average number of relights. The after taste is hardly noticeable.

I am new to pipe smoking and new to Virginia tobaccos-- so, please take what I say here with a grain of salt.
By the numbers: Flavor: 1.5/4 Burn: 3/4 Room Note: 2/4 Value: 2.5/4 AVERAGE: 2.25 = **
My first voyage into the land of pipe smoking has been a short tour of Boswell blends. I placed an order where I attempted to purchase as wide a variety of tobaccos as possible for as little money as possible. To represent the Virginia variety, I went with Boswell VA Slice.
I like all the Boswell blends I purchased-- except this one. Now, I have no way of knowing if it's just a matter of not liking Virginia tobaccos (in which case you can't really fault it for being what it is), or if this is just not a good representation of the tobacco type. Since I have no other reference points, I have no way of knowing.
Nevertheless, my experience of this tobacco is as follows.
The tobacco came to me in kind of a broken flake form. In the bag (and now the mason jar) I am met with a pleasant sweet aroma-- not unlike dried fruit. I rub the flakes out a bit and use the air pocket method-- which seems to work pretty well for me as my pipe stays lit just fine. As I draw, I get a distinct sour taste as the smoke jets across my tongue. Not sweet or grassy or hay- like (which I are terms I have heard in connection with VA tobaccos). Just sour. Some might call it "citrus-like," but I just found it unpleasantly sour.
This blend also seems to bite more than the Boswell blends I have tried. Quite a bit more, actually. This is not to say that I had a lingering biting sensation after smoking-- just that while drawing in there was a kind of burning tingle. Again, not something I particularly enjoyed.
As for the room note, I found it a bit cigarette-like while smoking, but after leaving and returning to the room, the note was pleasant and toasty.
I do not enjoy this tobacco, but, again, this could just be that I am not fond of VA blends. I am not sure. At any rate, I will not be purchasing this again.
I award a third star only in the effort to give the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps someone with more experience with VA might say it's a fine blend.
Update 8/28/13
I have smoked this flake a few more times since writing the above review, and I am sad to say that I personally do not find much of anything pleasant about it. Again, this might be a fine Virginia flake, but whether it is a fine VA flake or not, I know I am not a fan. There is nothing in the flavor I find appealing (though the sour taste bothers me less than it did before). This tobacco stings my mouth from the first draw to the last. And the room note leaves something to be desired. Now I just have to figure out what to do with the stuff. I don't have enough to bother gifting it to someone. I don't really with to mix it with any of my other tobaccos. I don't want to just toss it out. But, I know I don't really care to smoke it again.

As the new President of the Association I would, first of all like to relay my appreciation and thanks to all our members for giving me the mandate to lead the Association for the current terms period.
As I have always mentioned in all our earlier meetings, the post of President is not to be taken as a privilege but rather a responsibility that needs to be taken by any person holding the post with full commitment. My sincere hope is that all members will also work together with me over the years to resolve whatever issues and challenges that the haulage industry will face.
We must remember that these challenges that we will face can only be resolved through solidarity and cooperation among all members . I need not stress all the issues that we are currently facing, as I am very sure members are also aware of it, but one thing for sure I plan to prioritized all these issues into several categories for me and the council members to look at seriously. I have already met up with a number of our members including those from the Northern and Southern region and have now got some feedbacks on the issues on the ground nation wide.
Lastly, as the new President of the Association, I wish to take this opportunity to thank all the members who have contributed to the Association and hope will continue to assists and support me and my new team of council members.
Thank you.
Yours truly,
Association of Malaysian Hauliers

Since completing "Identity and Destiny for Amazing Kids," my daughter Jasmyn has learned that it's okay not to be perfect at EVERYTHING. We are simply not designed that way. She has learned that putting effort into the things that are her natural bent will enable her to create a future that she loves, not one she merely survives. She has also learned to be able to speak up for herself when she doesn't like something. She is becoming a leader. She is realizing that she can be her own person. She doesn't have to be like Mom or Dad or her friends and that's ok! Her natural bent is arts/entertainment. She loves to dance, sing and write and has recently become a member of her school's step team. She knows that she wants to do something that touches lives. She wants it to be in an arena that she loves. She also knows that traditionally, that industry is hard to crack into so she is finding creative ways to be able to do what she loves and turn it into a career later on in life .Porcha Carew

A shoe-lover's dream. A bold design decision. We transformed this master bedroom into a fabulous closet/home office. This custom designed space is as functional as it is beautiful. Towering rich wood cabinetry contrasts the fun pops of color, while a bit of graphic pattern and dramatic floor to ceiling drapery add a sense of moody sophistication and authentic style to the space.
