With all the critters in my household, I jumped at the chance to try out Simple Green's Pet Stain and Odor Remover. My package arrived and I went right to work testing the product. Our bedroom is carpeted and also happens to be a walk through to go outside. There is constantly some sort of stain on it. The first stain I tried was one I have tried numerous other products on and and have had no luck. Check out the results for yourself.
I was really happy with the outcome and am looking forward to trying Simple Green Pet Stain and Odor Remover all around the house. The product had a really nice scent as well.

We have developed a field-portable optical gas sensor for the ultra-sensitive detection of ethane. The system is based on an adaptation of a commercially available system, which uses a cryogenically cooled, lead-salt laser diode at 3.34 mum and a multi-pass astigmatic Herriott sample cell. We have adapted this system to a second derivative wavelength modulation scheme giving a lower detection limit of less than 100 parts per trillion for a one second measurement time. Our custom-designed software controls every aspect of the instrument operation from spectral scanning of the laser diode, to automatic calibration, optical alignment, spectral analysis and complete data logging.

Alan Abel Orchestral Percussion Seminar
June 20-25, 2016
Workshop description
Alan Abel
Christopher Deviney
Don Liuzzi
Angela Zator Nelson
Phillip O'Banion
Anthony Orlando
She-e Wu
There will be clinics and master classes on orchestral repertoire for snare drum, bass drum, cymbals, xylophone, glockenspiel, vibraphone, marimba, tambourine, triangle, castanets, and other instruments.
Some focus will be on balance, timing, tone quality, musical character, and other aspects of performing with a large ensemble. Of course, playing the correct notes with an appropriate technique will also be stressed. The role of assistant timpanist will be addressed including second timpani parts and concerti for piano, violin, and cello. Since Bach transcriptions for marimba are often required in percussion auditions, several examples will be studied.
Percussion sectionals are organized to perform with amplified orchestral recordings and conductor. Repertoire for sectionals will include works by Rimsky-Korsakov, Ravel, Stravinsky, Kodaly, Rachmaninoff, Bernstein, Prokofiev, and others. Full-time participants will take an active performing role in the master classes and sectionals. There will be an audition to help the faculty make part assignments for the sectionals. A typical day includes roughly nine hours of instruction.
Collegiate and professional (at least an incoming freshman). If attendee is a minor (younger than 18), they must provide a letter and waiver from their guardians.
Full-time Participants - $500
Observing Participants - $250
Enrollment is limited to 30 full-time participants - applications are processed in order they are received.
Please complete the online Registration Form (coming Feb 9, 2015) to register for the Alan Abel Orchestral Percussion Seminar. The non-refundable $100 deposit is due upon registration with the remaining fees billed to you (due by May 25). There is a $50 late registration fee for any payments received after May 25, 2015.
If interested, please review this additional information regarding travel, parking, housing and meals.
For those accepted into the Seminar, a placement audition will be performed on the first day. Participants will provide background information about themselves and play from selected repertoire for part assignments throughout the week.

This is my father, Simon Graham, during his most recent visit to Boston. For some reason, the management of Jacob Wirth's would NOT allow him in the Ladies room.
Seriously, thanks for the many kind emails re: his appearance on the show Friday. Like every good dad, my dad was unappreciated by his kids until we had kids of our own. Suddenly he seems like a genius.
One listener commenting on my dad and I said "The apple doesn't fall from the tree," which is interesting because my father often says of me "I think someone kicked that apple down the hill."
I hope all my fellow New England dads are having as happy a Father's Day as I. Below are some emails from listeners sharing their father's favorite "words of wisdom" from their youth.
Hi Michael,
My dad, retired Lt. Col from the US Army, used to say "Careful or I'll demobilize you" --Anne
My father had 2 sayings I remember When I was disappointed about something out of my control ( as often the case with kids) he would say: "My boy" (he started everything with that) "You win some, you lose some, and some get rained out. But you dress for them all." (as my kids' soccer coach, I catch myself using this one a lot). When I wanted something frivolous (I was one of 6 so there wasn't much money to spare) he'd say : "People in Hell want ice-water." -- Phil.
My dad used to say "Children are to be seen, and not heard." It really p***ed me off, too, until I had kids. Now I use it ALL the time! -- Jaqueline.
My Dad's most memorable quote: I got bagged doing what I wasn't suppose to and my dad sat me in a chair and said," I'm gonna punish you. Not for what you did, because I did worse when I was a kid. I'm punishing you for being STUPID enough to get caught." The rest is history and I'm waiting to use it on my kids!!! --Mike from Randolph.
My two oldest sons were directed to me by their mother to answer their questions about "safe sex". I looked them over with a straight face, saying, "There's no such thing as safe sex, because if you have sex before you're married, I'LL KILL YOU."--Paul
Dad's quote: "What do you want a medal, Or a Chest to pin it on" -- Jesse.
And finally, from the evening meal at the Simon (and now Michael) Graham Family Compound: "As long as you put your two feet under MY table, you'll do what I say!"

Red, White & Blue Layered Drink
adapted from Mel's Kitchen Cafe
Cranberry Juice, chilled
Blue Gatorade (not sugar-free), chilled
Sprite Zero or Diet 7-Up, chilled
1. Fill each glass with ice. Pour the cranberry juice into the glass, filling about 1/3 of the way. Slowly pour the blue Gatorade on top of the ice (if you pour it around the sides of the glass and it hits the cranberry juice directly without filtering over the ice, it won't create separate layers) and let it flow down until it fills the cup another 1/3 of the way (so now the glass should be 2/3 full). Finally, slowly pour the Sprite Zero or Diet 7-Up on the ice and let it slowly flow down to create the final layer. Serve immediately.

Ok, probably nothing, maybe something.
The U.S. Government needs 350,934 National Detainee Handbooks printed by 29 April 2011. Here's a 2007 English version of the National Detainee Handbook. I don't know if that's the same document as what has been ordered below.
The GPO solicitation went out on 18 April and the handbooks must be delivered by 29 April. Is eleven days a short time for something like this? I have no idea, but clicking on "Jacket Number: 735-412/413" brings up a specification document, which states the following:
Notify Ron Boyum at 312-353-3916 x 17 or at email@example.com of the delivery status in the morning 2 days prior to the first shipment to meet the at destination delivery date. [sic]
This is a time-critical order. For the purpose of this contract, the provision in GPO Contract Terms Pub. 310.2 (Rev. 6-01) for schedule extensions does not apply. No automatic extensions of schedules will be made. All interested contractors must commit to the original schedule. Shipments must be made by a carrier that will guarantee delivery at destination within the specified schedule. Carrier's "targets" in lieu of "guaranteed" deliveries will not be acceptable.

I am not the contract administrator or author of this procurement. I am merely a contact for the time critical nature of the procurement, that means I will monitor the order to see that it does deliver on time. Yes, this is a short lead time for this type item, but it is being procured within current GPO regulations and the Dept. of Homeland is nearly out of stock of this item. So yes we are serious about this delivery date. I don't see Boeing as a registered GPO contractor, which would be necessary to quote on this item.

For some reason this just made me flash back to the Great American Boycott held on May 1, 2006. And wasn't there big rallies last year on May 5? Maybe they are expecting more trouble this year?edit on 19-4-2011 by OneisOne because: add
In the United States, the "Batalla de Puebla" came to be known as simply "5 de Mayo" and unfortunately, many people wrongly equate it with Mexican Independence which was on September 16, 1810, nearly a fifty year difference. Over, the years Cinco de Mayo has become very commercialized and many people see this holiday as a time for fun and dance. Oddly enough, Cinco de Mayo has become more of Chicano holiday than a Mexican one. Cinco de Mayo is celebrated on a much larger scale here in the United States than it is in Mexico. People of Mexican descent in the United States celebrate this significant day by having parades, mariachi music, folklorico dancing and other types of festive activities

PEEKSKILL, N.Y. -- The Peekskill Housing Authority is $500,000 in debt and is considering drastic measures to help fill the financial shortfall, according to LoHud.com.
The housing authority is dealing with several financial shackles, including thousands in unpaid rent and an $854,000 lawsuit that was filed by a former executive director, LoHud.com reported.
In an effort to help curb the financial crisis, new executive director Patricia Croslan has canceled a $161,000 security contract, cut an after-school program and has begun to go after tenants who haven't paid rent. The efforts still aren't enough, however, and the authority may have to sell properties for a one-time financial infusion, LoHud.com said.

I am surrounded by a world of contradictions and hypocrisies. I believe that man is manipulative, cold, and superficial. Granted there are always exceptions to the rule. You may find a person that is kind hearted with no ill bone in their body. But those people are few and far between. It is in human nature to plot and use the tools surrounding you in order to obtain what you feel you need; even if the "tools" are your friends and family.
I admit I have a defeatist attitude. I am a pessimist and I hold grudges. My childhood was a distant and unhappy one. I am a product of one of the more than fifty percent of divorced families in the United States. I have a grudge that is six years strong against my father for manipulation, verbal abuse, and lack of support.
When I was eleven, I pulled my father aside and asked him with a tearful face if my mother was having an affair. He said yes, but that he still loved me and that that was all that mattered. To start, my mother never had an affair, and with any platonic relationship that she did have with another man while she was still wearing her wedding ring, my father had one just as complicated or even more so. When I was twelve my mother drove me home from school one day and pulled off to the side of the road to tell me that she had filed for divorce. I sat there stone faced and consoled her saying that it would be ok, and it could only go up hill from here.
As I started to know my way around the back hallways of the Family Court Services center in downtown Minneapolis, my father and I would have excruciatingly long talks. My mother, working close to one hundred hours a week and having just moved out of my father's house, had resorted to sleeping in her self-made business, an assisted living home for the elderly. My father had only to simply say, "When you go over to visit your mother, do you like being with all of the old people?" Since I was twelve and still loved my Saturday morning cartoons, I obviously said no. Because of conversations like this I hardly saw my mother for three years.
I am now seventeen. By mine, and others' calculations, I figure that I have gone through more emotional trauma and stress due to my parents' agonizing five-year divorce than the average twenty-five year old has gone through from everyday life. I now knowingly break the court order and live with my mother, seeing my father as little as possible. I do this not only for the emotional stability, but because this house I've known for only three years feels more like a home than the building I grew up in.
It has been my experience that mankind does what ever is necessary to obtain what they want. In my case my father needed to deprive me of a happy and normal childhood to try and alienate my mother. I have decided that my increasing level of happiness due to my permanent move to my mothers and my life as a recently "out" homosexual is retribution enough. I cannot regain my childhood, but I can still salvage my life. Someday I hope to come to terms with the fact that my biggest worry should have been I how the bathtub could possibly drain without me standing by to watch it instead of what to say in court.

The Commonwealth of nations has handed the North-South summit meeting at Cancun, Mexico, in two weeks time a draft agenda for coming to grips with the problem of world poverty.
The 41-nation body at its summit meeting here has also offered a powerful endorsement of efforts by the "contact group" of five Western nations to achieve the independence of Namibia (South-West Africa) by the end of 1982. Two of the contact nations -- Britain and Canada -- were present at the summit.
At the breakup of a week-long gathering of leaders representing one-quarter of mankind, the host to the Commonwealth meeting, Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser, maintained that the heart and essence of the deliberations had been a determined commitment to offer the 22-nation Cancun summit guidelines for a shift in the world's wealth from the rich to the poor.
By Commonwealth standards, and these gatherings have been taking place every two years since World War II, the Melbourne summit was not quite the achievement of the Commonwealth conference in Lusaka, Zambia, in 1979. On that occasion, the Commonwealth seized the initiative and set Rhodesia -- nowadays Zimbabwe -- on the road to independence.
This time the topics for debate were more diffuse and less clear-cut.
Mr. Fraser wanted the Melbourne summit, at which seven of the 22 nations that will be in Cancun were represented, to prefigure the coming debate on world poverty. He also tried to mobilize Commonwealth pressure on South Africa to give ground on Namibia. In the outcome, the Commonwealth declared itself solidly on the side of a successful outcome in Cancun.
Under Fraser's encouragement, the conference issued a ringing declaration on the need to close the international poverty gap. It followed the declaration up with a detailed account of what governments had to do if rich and poor nations were to work together for greater prosperity. High on the list of Commonwealth priorities was the need to break down tariff barriers and enable the poorer nations to trade their way out of poverty.
On Namibia, the Commonwealth threw its weight behind the contact group, which is about to send a team to southern Africa to explain a new independence plan for the territory. At the same time it carefully rejected a frontal attack on South Africa's recent invasion of Angola lest the South African government again turn its back on a negotiated solution.
On its two main agenda items, the conference was widely seen as a success, but there were problems along the way. One Commonwealth leader, Prime Minister Robert Muldoon of New Zealand, caused a great deal of controversy by using the summit to defend his government's refusal to halt a Springbok (South African) rugby football tour of his country.
Mr. Muldoon angered Mr. Fraser by denouncing a Commonwealth declaration on the need to improve the lot of the poor nations. He astonished his fellow leaders by calling the declaration platitudinous and vague. In the end the conference refused to accept New Zealand's interpretation of the four-year-old Commonwealth Gleneagles agreement on sporting contacts with South Africa. Muldoon argued that he had tried to dissuade the South African team from touring New Zealand. He also defended his government's determination in confronting demonstrators against the tour with strong security measures.
In the end the Commonwealth rejected Mr. Muldoon's view on his handling of the tour and reaffirmed the Gleneagles agreement. It was widely accepted at the Melbourne summit that Muldoon, who faces a general election on Nov. 28, was electioneering during his visit to Australia, trying to drum up international approval for his government's handling of the Springbok tour. He appears to have failed.
The Commonwealth summit provided opportunities for a host of bilateral meetings between Commonwealth leaders.British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and her Canadian counterpart, Pierre Trudeau, agreed on a provisional timetable for attempts by the government of Canada to "patriate" the country's constitution from Westminster to the Parliament in Ottawa. Under the timetable, Canada could be in control of its own constitution by the first of 1982, so long as the British Parliament raises no serious objection.
Moves by some members to return Pakistan to the Commonwealth after its departure in the early 1970s were blocked by the Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The Commonwealth also decided to begin monitoring more closely to observance of human rights in its member countries.

The molar mass of aspirin is 180 grams per mole. Molar mass refers to the mass of a given substance divided by the amount of its substance. Aspirin has a molecular formula of C9H8O8 and is an aromatic compound typically used as an over-the-counter drug to reduce pain.
Aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid, is an analgesic drug used to alleviate pain, relieve fevers, and act as an anti-inflammatory. It also inhibits the production of platelets and therefore can be utilized to reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes in at-risk patients. Aspirin is considered a weakly acidic compound with a pKa of 3.5, and is synthesized through an esterification reaction.

What about after the holidays, Sheila?
Reflect Back: As a family, make a goal around New Year's Day about your experiences with kindness and serving others during the holidays.
- Did we have fun?
- Did we help others? How?
- Which ones did you like doing? Dislike doing?
Decide on a new goal for the rest of the year and put a timeline with it.
Please don't just say, "We should do more of that," and then move on to something else without further thought. DECIDE on how you will do more of that.
Best Practices for Year Round Giving and Kindness:
- Set a schedule: Once a day, once a week or once a month. You decide what is best for your schedule.
- Get the entire family's input on what to do.
- Make sure that you allow flexibility for those spontaneous moments when you see a need (and then take the time to make sure you help, we keep our Kindness Kit on hand to help us with that).
- On a routine basis, check in on how your new kindness routine is doing. Did you plan for too few, too many? And, then adjust it!
- Need ideas? There are so many that can serve as inspiration. Sit down with your family and pick a few ideas from here.
Want to establish a relationship with a nonprofit so you family can give back to a cause you care about?
Then here are tried and true methods from Pennies of Time on how to have a successful conversation to do that.

Pompous rhetoric
Canada's Conservative government wants to extend the stay of Canadian troops in Afghanistan another two years beyond the current February, 2007 deadline. (See reports from The Globe & Mail and CBC.) After a 6-hour debate tomorrow, members of parliament will vote, and Canadians will have to live with the consequences. Pronounced Prime Minister Stephen Harper:
"What we are doing there is not just protecting our national interests, but providing international leadership and providing real advancement to the standard of living and human rights of the Afghan people."Do these claims stand up? First, how is the Canadian military presence in Afghanistan protecting our national interests? No doubt there will be some grand words in the House of Commons tomorrow, but I'd like to hear a cogent argument, not just hot air. A national child-care plan would be in our national interest, but the Conservatives won't hear of that.
Next, does a foreign military adventure demonstrate international leadership? Perhaps we're supposed to believe this simply because the words "military" and "leadership" happen to be in the same sentence. Living up to our Kyoto commitments to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions would show real leadership, but instead the Conservative government wants to back out of that agreement.
Finally, is the Canadian military presence in Afghanistan advancing the standard of living and the human rights of the Afghan people? Perhaps, but what's the evidence? And could we achieve more by different means? I believe it would be much better for Canada to provide financial support and diplomatic interventions to nurture real democratic progress in Afghanistan.
I wonder if the Conservatives have anything more than pompous rhetoric to support this military adventure?

Homeowners in New Hampshire now have free access to learn more about the leading home alarm system companies in the state. This resource can educate consumers and help them save money while shopping for an alarm system.
Concord, NH (PRWEB) August 31, 2013
AlarmSystemReport.com, a highly trusted third party resource in the home alarm industry, has released its official rankings of the best home alarm companies in the state of New Hampshire. New Hampshire residents can now access the rankings, including the name of the company that was awarded the top spot as best home alarm system company in the state, by visiting the site. Top companies include Lifeshield Security, Vivint Security, ADT, Protect America and FrontPoint Security. Each company underwent a rigorous review process to earn a spot in the new rankings.
The newly-released rankings were compiled after a team of security professionals from the site, as well as the state of New Hampshire, conducted intensive reviews of each company. The reviews of the best alarm systems are conducted in a unique, secret shopper format, which allows each review to be as similar to the experience of an actual customer as possible. The number one company on the new rankings received a perfect five star score, meaning it rated well across all areas of service. Reviews are conducted based on a broad set of criteria, including technology and equipment, service and installation, customer service and monitoring, warranties and pricing. The reviews, for example Vivint reviews, are also available on the Alarm System Report site.
Alarm System Report developed its unique system for reviewing and ranking home alarm systems in response to customers' requests for a website offering information in a user-friendly, convenient location. Installing an alarm system can be a costly, and potentially life-changing venture, and it's important for consumers to be able to thoroughly conduct research before selecting a company, but since there are so many companies on the market, it became difficult for consumers to navigate through all of their claims to find the company that was going to best suit their needs. It's for this reason that AlarmSystemReport.com created its concise system of reviewing and ranking home alarm companies. In addition to conducting its own reviews, the rankings provided on Alarm System Report also include feedback found on other independent sites about each company, such as Yelp and Angie's List. The goal of each review and ranking provided by the site is to give customers a complete picture of all aspects of an alarm company's service.
In addition to providing reviews and rankings, visitors to AlarmSystemReport.com can also access valuable articles on topics such as "Alarm Systems for Renters," and "Alarm System Maintenance." The site also features information on home alarm company discounts, coupons, access to instant quotes, and industry news and updates.
New Hampshire residents can now visit AlarmSystemReport.com to view the number one home alarm company in the state, as well as the runners-up for best home alarm company.

|Phloem-associated auxin response maxima determine radial positioning of lateral roots in maize.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22527395 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|In Arabidopsis thaliana, lateral-root-forming competence of pericycle cells is associated with their position at the xylem poles and depends on the establishment of protoxylem-localized auxin response maxima. In maize, our histological analyses revealed an interruption of the pericycle at the xylem poles, and confirmed the earlier reported proto-phloem-specific lateral root initiation. Phloem-pole pericycle cells were larger and had thinner cell walls compared with the other pericycle cells, highlighting the heterogeneous character of the maize root pericycle. A maize DR5::RFP marker line demonstrated the presence of auxin response maxima in differentiating xylem cells at the root tip and in cells surrounding the proto-phloem vessels. Chemical inhibition of auxin transport indicated that the establishment of the phloem-localized auxin response maxima is crucial for lateral root formation in maize, because in their absence, random divisions of pericycle and endodermis cells occurred, not resulting in organogenesis. These data hint at an evolutionarily conserved mechanism, in which the establishment of vascular auxin response maxima is required to trigger cells in the flanking outer tissue layer for lateral root initiation. It further indicates that lateral root initiation is not dependent on cellular specification or differentiation of the type of vascular tissue.

Meeting the future in-laws may be a piece of cake for some people, but for me it was a pickle.
It probably didn't help that Ken's parents had never heard of me before he phoned to invite them to our wedding - less than three weeks away. And by the way, he had added, she's been married before and has a 4-year-old son.
When Ken received a month's leave from active duty in Southeast Asia, neither of us suspected we would spend most of it planning a wedding. During that short time, he also attended to other business, including the military paperwork to take his new wife and son back with him. And I had to complete a project before resigning from my job.
But highest on my prewedding "to do" list was a trip to New Jersey (from Little Rock, Ark.) to meet Ken's parents - a daunting prospect!
Not only had Ken's out-of-the-blue phone call gotten me off to a peculiar start with his folks, but there also was the matter of culture shock. My suspicion that the Roe household exercised more refinement than I had grown up with gave me pause.
Don't misunderstand. It's not that I was raised by wolves. My family used silverware (though not as many pieces as Emily Post suggested), and we knew enough about etiquette to feel guilty when we rested our elbows on the table. Occasionally we even got dressed up and ate in the dining room. We just didn't get caught up in issues like which side of the chair to scoot into. But Ken's parents ate every meal in the dining room! Never would I get through an entire visit without doing something appalling.
Ken, who arrived in New Jersey a day or two before I did, met me at the airport - with his parents.
Much of my fear vanished when his mother gave me a greeting I will cherish forever. "I've always wanted a daughter," she said, beaming.
My prospective father-in-law was just as gracious, though reserved. I began to think I might survive this visit after all.
Meals loomed large, though. And the prospect of the inevitable faux pas hung over my plate like the fork of Damocles.
But not for long. It dropped during the first dinner.
The trouble started when I took a gherkin pickle from the relish tray. Big mistake! I realized too late that I didn't know the proper way to eat a pickle. Why had I taken it? Panic set in.
All of my attention focused on that pickle. At home I would just pick the thing up and bite off a chunk. But that's too easy; it must be wrong.
We were beginning to eat now. It never occurred to me just to leave that pickle untouched. No, I must conquer it!
So I attacked it in arguably the most ill-advised way possible - by trying to cut it with the side of my fork. It resisted. The laws of physics kicked in: As I pressed down, the pickle shot out from under the fork, leaping an impressive distance and landing with an ominous thunk on the pristine tablecloth.
The next few seconds seemed like an eternity. My life flashed before me.
Then I realized that Ken's dad was addressing me.
"I must apologize," he was saying. "Usually our dinners are better behaved than that."
Everyone laughed. My life wasn't over!
That evening brought two other incidents that moderated my in-lawphobia.
First, I noticed that our dinner rolls remained snuggled in a warming basket that was plugged into an outlet in the corner - out of reach for the entire meal. What were they being saved for? Did people in the know serve rolls at the end of the meal? I dared not ask - not even as dessert came and went and the bread remained warm and untouched.
As we cleared the table, my hostess glanced toward that corner and gasped, "The rolls! I forgot to serve the rolls!"
This was my first clue that my in-laws were just as concerned about making a good impression as I was.
The other incident? Ken walked by the kitchen and overheard his parents chatting while they loaded the dishwasher. He delighted in telling me that he'd heard his dad ask, "How did Kenny ever land her?"
It turned out to be a good visit.
These many years later, I treasure the memory of loving parents who put their son's fiancée at ease against all odds - including a recalcitrant pickle.

For as long as there have been people and "stuff," there has been the practice and passion of collecting. Some famous folks like Jay Leno have large-scale collections, while others like actress Reese Witherspoon, who reportedly collects antique linens; Sarah Michelle Gellar, who is said to collect antique books, and Judith Chapman, who is said to collect antique kimonos, collect smaller-scale items, but treasures all the same. In fact, there are still others like King Henry the Eighth who, with his six wives, it could be said took collecting to another whole level entirely.
In any event, according to various sources which provide suggestions for new-years resolutions, becoming a collector, rediscovering your collector roots, or helping someone else find their own inner collector, is a popular option for goal-achieving success in 2009. Of course it helps when the most popular rule in collecting is: Collect what you love and are passionate about. A couple great places to find out what others are collecting, help new collectors connect with other collectors are Collect.com and Collectors.org.
In addition to getting up-to-date collecting news you can use from us here at Antique Trader, our selection of antiques and collectibles references and resources at www.krausebooks.com and www.fwmagazines.com provide a smorgasbord of collecting options, ideas, inspiration and advice. As a "welcome to the collecting community" gift, you can receive FREE SHIPPING* on any book or DVD, when you order by Jan. 2, 2009. Be sure to use Coupon Code ATBART1219 when ordering to receive your savings.

Equal expectations
Tom Heinonen has moved the UO Running Club's Tuesday pre-practice meetings to the lower-level overhang of the Student Recreation Center, next to the turf fields but away from the drizzle. The usual meeting spot is the waterfall in front of the rec center; the runners' presence by it is ubiquitous, in the shape of a semi-circle around their Hall-of-Fame coach.
Heinonen begins the day with a simple gesture: Say hello, then say the name of each runner, from the regulars to the occasional members to the infrequently appearing members. Heinonen, the coach of three NCAA title teams in his 28-year Oregon track and cross country career, remembers them all. And he can prove it.
This is not a simple gesture for Heinonen. This is an expectation upon himself. Everyone, regularity of appearance and skill level notwithstanding, is equal in the UO Running Club.
The UO Running Club has existed throughout the years in less of a competitive sense – and with fewer people. Essentially, interested parties would work out together and call themselves the official club. In 2003, Heinonen retired from the Oregon track program and volunteered his service with "only a half a dozen or so active members."
Brad Russell, a junior from Minneapolis, Minn., joined the ranks – which began growing after Heinonen accepted his position – in early 2006, the middle of his freshman year.
"There were probably 10 or 12 guys and maybe 10 girls, tops," Russell said. "Our biggest day, we maybe had 20 people there. This year, on our biggest day, we've had 60. This year, it's definitely grown."
Just as attendance has risen significantly, the institution of club running has achieved new heights with the founding of the National Intercollegiate Running Club Association in the spring of 2006. The NIRCA hosted its first National Cross Country Championship that same year. Oregon sent a men's and women's team to the 2007 meet, held at Indiana University in Bloomington, Ind., and came back with two national championships and an individual champion, then-junior Keith Laverty.
"Last year, the national meet wasn't very organized," Laverty said. "This year, they were super-organized."
Laverty is an interesting case among Oregon running club participants in that he initially was recruited to join the Oregon track and cross country teams. The Woodinville, Wash., native jumped at the chance and ran two cross country seasons and one track season in Duck colors. He began running unattached in track (Laverty is a 5,000m and 10,000m runner) and was cut from the Duck program during his sophomore year. In joining the UO Running Club, Laverty welcomed a change to the way he approaches the sport he loves.
"There's no pressure," Laverty said. "You don't have to go practice every day. If you have a bad workout, it's not the end of the world. I've been running faster times.
"I can still race top guys in big meets."
Running club participants compete in cross country and track events across Oregon. Several runners obtained license provisions to drive commercial vans, and the team coordinators, senior David Reid and sophomore Giovanni Guzman, tirelessly fundraise to support the team.
"My first year, we had a budget of $600," Heinonen said. "(The trip to nationals) cost about $11,000, and we fundraised most of that."
Cross country season may culminate in a national championship at year's end, but working out and improving upon times never has to cease. As a result, the club runners develop strong bonds with one another.
"We're all best friends. We all hang out on weekends," junior Kristen Mohror said of the camaraderie. "We go to the library together, we do homework together, we cook together. It's like a family thing."
Mohror, a native of Chamberlain, S.D., committed to Black Hills State University, an NAIA school in Spearfish, S.D., for track and cross country, but her heart remained in Oregon. She had taken a campus tour and had fallen in love with the campus and Eugene – and the widespread commitment to excellence in running that is the standard in Track Town, USA.
"Being stuck in South Dakota was not good. I came out here for the journalism program, and I didn't know there was a club team," Mohror said. "I think I got really lucky."
It bears mentioning here, of course, that the running club welcomes any and all non-competitive runners. ("We've had joggers show up and this is way above their level, because they can't keep up on a steady run," Heinonen said.) Heinonen will help with everything from "holding their sweats" crafting a workout plan to simply chatting after the day's run. Heinonen originally came to Eugene to compete in the 1972 Olympic Trials marathon (back when the marathon and the track and field trials coexisted) and fell in love with the town – and met his wife, Janet. He was twice named NCAA Coach of the Year and has guided his athletes to 108 All-America honors. That remains his role in the running club: Not entirely as a coach, but as a guide, in running and in life.
"There's a little knowledge that passes this way and that," Heinonen said.
"He's had such a huge impact on my experience with running," Mohror said.
He's also great at remembering names.

LEWISTON — Enrollment pushed them up a classification. Weather pushed them back two days.
But once they get on a tennis court, nobody pushes around the boys and girls from Falmouth High School.
The Falmouth girls extended their winning streak to 109 matches and the boys wrapped up their own undefeated season as both teams won Class A state championships Monday afternoon and evening on the campus of Bates College.
With two quick jumps and a squeal of delight that followed a final drop shot, Falmouth junior Olivia Leavitt shook hands with four-time state singles finalist Maisie Silverman of Brunswick. She then raced into the waiting arms of teammates as Falmouth celebrated a 5-0 sweep over the previously-unbeaten and defending state champion Dragons with early-evening shadows falling across the Wallach Tennis Center.
An hour earlier, Falmouth's boys had wrapped up a 3-2 victory over Eastern Maine champion Mt. Ararat that wasn't as close as the score appears. Falmouth clinched the match by racing to a 3-0 lead after dropping only one of 37 games between senior Brendan McCarthy (the singles state champion) and junior Aidan McGrory at second and third singles and senior Matt Hutcheon and freshman Trey Fallon at second doubles.
The insurmountable lead prompted Falmouth's No. 1 singles player, senior Justin Brogan, to default at 1-1 in the first set of his match with Mt. Ararat freshman Nick Mathieu, a finalist in the singles tourney.
"I was prepared to go if it went 2-2, but I can't afford to injure it again," said Brogan, who has twice sprained his ankle this season and missed two playoff matches prior to the regional final. "If I do, I'm out for the whole summer."
A year ago in the Class B girls finals, Falmouth won 3-2 over Waterville. Leavitt, also nursing an injury, defaulted in the first set at No. 1 singles after her team had clinched the match.
"It was a little bit disappointing, but I understand," said Mathieu of Mt. Ararat. "He has a bad ankle. You could see it looked like he was in pain."
Junior Trevor Mayo and senior Eric Knight won 6-3, 6-2 at first doubles for Mt. Ararat, which avenged early-season losses by beating Mt. Blue, Hampden Academy and Bangor in the regional tournament, each by a score of 3-2, to finish 10-6.
The girls match featured a reprise of the last two state singles finals between Leavitt and Silverman. Falmouth already had clinched the overall victory by the time they got going, and Leavitt prevailed 6-3, 6-3 but not without a bit of controversy.
Three games into the first set, Silverman requested an umpire and Roland Gilbert of the Maine Principals Association sat in the chair for the remaining 15 games.
"The first two games there were questionable calls and I just didn't want to deal with it," Silverman said, "because I wanted it to be a fair match overall."
Silverman's inconsistent serving and Leavitt's superior athleticism – "She gets everything," Silverman said – turned the match in favor of Leavitt, who had rallied from a set down to win the singles title on these same courts two weeks earlier and beat Silverman in straight sets indoors two years ago.
"Knowing that we had won, I was able to relax more," Leavitt said. "Whenever I missed a shot or got down on myself, I would just smile because we had already won and that's the big picture."
Elsewhere in singles, Falmouth sophomores Julia Brogan (6-1, 6-2) and Caroline Ray (6-1, 6-0) beat Brunswick seniors Ali Stankiewicz and Leah Soloway, respectively.
In doubles, senior Katie Ryan and freshman Kate Kelley (6-1, 6-0) and freshmen Amanda Watson and Mary Hyland (6-4, 6-3) won for Falmouth, which not only won all 16 matches by a 5-0 score this season, but never was extended to three sets in team competition. Ryan is a senior, the other three freshmen.
"It's not about the sweep, it was about getting the state title," Leavitt said. "It's about the team. I went in thinking it doesn't matter if I lose a match or one of the other girls loses a match, if we get three points, we're winners."

Its never too late to stay in the holiday spirit. Holiday cards keep that spirit alive. So, Shruti Swamy, program director of the Book Club of California, a 100-year-old (and counting!) San Francisco institution celebrating fine press, California literature and history, and the art of the book, told me about an exhibition on view of just that: Holiday Cards from William P. Wreden, Family, and Friends is open until Jan 18 at the exhibition space and clubroom in downtown San Francisco (free and open to the public).
"The exhibition spans 70 years of cards sent and received by the Wreden family, antiquarian booksellers who commissioned some of California's most important printers, including the Grabhorns, to create their holiday cards," Swamy says. "Many of these cards have an emphasis on typography. Taken together, they're a diverse, witty, and beautiful collection that shows just how expansive the category of holiday card can be."
The cards are courtesy of the curator William P. Wreden Jr., and the photographs were taken by Lesya Westerman.

Acessing specific machines from outside a router/firewall
Possibly ways to enumerate or attack a router (in order to penetrate the network)
Viewing network topology from outside a router
Any help would be greatly apriciated

Asian equity markets were mixed on Wednesday ahead of a widely-anticipated speech from the chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve.
Japan's Nikkei index reversed earlier losses to cross 14,600 points, South Korea's Kospi hit a one-month high, Australia's benchmark S&P ASX 200 was flat and the Shanghai Composite snapped a three-day winning streak.

U.S. bond prices gained on Monday as lawmakers in Washington showed no progress towards ending a partial government shutdown, raising concerns about its impact on economic growth, and on concerns over the looming showdown over raising the country's $16.7 trillion debt ceiling.
The government moved into the second week of a shutdown on Monday with no end in sight. Many U.S. economic releases, including crucial monthly payrolls data that that had been scheduled for last Friday, have been delayed due to the shutdown.
"The uncertainty in Washington is the clearest touchstone for the push towards Treasuries prices, obviously the longer that the government is shut down the more damaging it potentially becomes for the economy," said Ian Lyngen, senior government bond strategist at CRT Capital in Stamford, Connecticut.
Investors are also focused on the release on Wednesday of minutes from last month's Federal Reserve policy meeting, which could reveal more about why the central bank shocked markets by deciding not to begin reducing its $85 billion a month bond purchase program.
The longer the shutdown lasts, the less likely the Fed is to begin cutting back on bond purchases, especially as it is unable to view government-issued data to gain a sense of the strength of the economy.

Benchmark 10-year Treasurys were last up 4/32 in price to yield 2.633 percent, down from 2.65 percent late on Friday. The yields have dropped from 3.00 percent, the highest in over two years, on September 6.
Squabbling over raising the country's debt ceiling was also hurting riskier assets such as stocks, which may have added a bid to Treasurys.

Now here's something we'd pay to see: Tilda Swinton says she would be thrilled to play Conan O'Brien in a TV movie about the comic's messy departure from NBC. During Conan's final appearance as host on The Tonight Show last Friday, the funnyman made a joke saying that if HBO were to make a movie about the late night drama at The Peacock he would "like to be played by Academy Award-winner Tilda Swinton."
Well MovieLine.com caught up with the actress while she was promoting her new feature I Am Love at the Sundance Film Festival over the weekend, and in what will likely be music to Conan's ears, Tilda is up for the challenge.
"I've heard about Conan!" Tilda squealed. "I'm so thrilled. I would just be only too happy. Yes, yes, yes, absolutely."

Facility Spotlight – Billie Jean King Tennis Center
There's no doubt March is one of the busiest months of the year at the Billie Jean King Tennis Center. But that's just how Cathy Jacobson-Guzy likes it.
Just two years ago, Jacobson-Guzy celebrated 30 years working at the popular Long Beach facility she now runs, having starting working there fresh out of college back in 1983 as a teaching pro.
Born and raised in Pittsburgh and an accomplished prep and collegiate player, it didn't take long for Jacobson-Guzy to realize right away that Long Beach was where she wanted to settle down and work and live for good.
"I love what I do and I'm very fortunate to do what I do," Jacobson-Guzy said. "I got out here out of college and fell in love with everything about Southern California. I knew I wanted to spend my career in tennis, but I didn't want to do it indoors."
Back in 2001, Jacobson-Guzy formed First Serve Tennis, Inc., and has been operating and directing all the Parks and Recreational programming for the City of Long Beach at both the Billie Jean King Tennis Center and the El Dorado Park Tennis Center as the sole proprietor since 1995.
On two consecutive upcoming weekends (March 7-8, March 14-15), Jacobson-Guzy will help run the 58th annual Long Beach Junior Tournament, a level 3 event (link here: http://tennislink.usta.com/Tournaments/TournamentHome/Tournament.aspx?T=160348).
On March 28, the Billie Jean King Tennis Center will host its popular Wilson Demo Day.
The Billie Jean King Tennis Center has a rich and storied history of more than 50 years when the Long Beach Patrons helped contribute to travel funds for Long Beach-Poly High's Billie Jean Moffitt. To this day, Jacobson-Guzy is proud of her connection and friendship with one of the game's all-time greats.
"I first met her back in 1991 when we formed King's Aces, to manage the tennis center where she learned how to play tennis," Jacobson-Guzy said. "She has been back on several occasions, including four years ago when ESPN did a TV show on her called 'Home Coming', kind of a 'This is Your Life,' and we had five or six hundred people here on stadium court, including Zina Garrison, Maria Sharapova and Rosie Casals."
Jacobson-Guzy continued on about her good friend King. "Back in the mid-90s I really got to know her and spent four days straight with her. She's the most incredible person I've ever met, and I'm proud that I can call her a friend. She has a great sense of humor and is not only fun to be around, but it's an honor and a treat to be in her presence. Her enthusiasm and passion gets you so fired up and excited about growing the game."
First Serve operates six sanctioned tournaments each year and the current junior program has more than 70 kids involved and is led by BJK TC head pro Valter Paiva.
"We have a full-service pro shop and are known for our customer service," Jacobson-Guzy said.
She added: "I love what I do and I love giving back. I'm anxious to keep growing the game."
Three years ago, Jacobson-Guzy was named to the University of Pittsburgh Hall of Fame, and last year was recognized with the same honor by the Western Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame.
"If you do something long enough, you'll start getting recognized for it, I guess," she said, modestly.
Last May 3 was declared as "Cathy Jacobson-Guzy Day" in the City of Pittsburgh signifying the Hall of Fame honor, and she was presented with a proclamation by the City of Pittsburgh.
Jacobson-Guzy is especially proud of her current teaching staff, and recently wrote the following bios on each of them:
ABIGAIL "ABA" VILLENA, USPTA Certified: "Aba" has been teaching tennis in Southern California for the past 10 years. Since 1996, has served on the Wilson Advisory Staff. Abigail has worked with many top junior girls developing their game and guiding them through their sectional rankings and national rankings before they moved on to continue their tennis career as scholarship players at top-ranked colleges and universities. Among these players are Lyndsay Kinstler (USC), Alison Ramos, Audrey Bulkley (LMU) and many up and comers.
VALTER PAIVA, USPTA Certified: Valter Paiva is currently the Head Pro at the Billie Jean King Tennis Center and Founder and Director of the Valter Paiva Tennis Academy. He started at the Billie Jean King Tennis Center in 2005. He runs all the seasonal camps throughout the year including our extremely successful Junior Summer Camp. Valter was a nationally ranked top five player in Brazil and ranked among the top three players in São Paulo as a junior. He currently coaches four teams that compete in USTA junior team tennis. He offers private and group lessons as well as instructional clinics for adults of all levels.
DOMINGO MAURICIO: Domingo has been a certified teaching pro since 1976. He is a Yonex Team Member and on their Advisory staff. He has worked and coached touring pros, top nationally ranked open junior players and collegiate players. Domingo offers private and group lessons and advanced workouts.

Beautiful Pregnant Women: Ellen Dunne
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008
What makes a man step off a cross-country flight and jump in a cab from the SF Airport to the City to take one photo, and then get back in the cab in order to be where he needs to be, which is two hours in the opposite direction? I direct you to Exhibit E: This photo of Ellen Dunne and me. I've known for more than a dozen years, and seen the best of her from San Francisco to New York; under hot sun, pouring rain, and inches of dust; in various states of high style and deep slumming; in the most professional of circumstances and behaving badly at weddings. In perhaps the classiest moment in all of the many moments of sports fandom I've ever witnessed, this passionate Patriots fan helped me assemble my all-green outfit before I departed for the Super Bowl in Jackson, FL, where my Eagles were beaten by those nasty Pats. That's a good friend. In every moment, she is uniquely Ellen Dunne: totally together, completely overachieving, taking on too much for too many, with no complaints nor discernible sweat. That's the way they raise 'em in New England. Plus, she's very good to all of the cats and dogs. And too damn cute. A beautiful pregnant woman.
Her newest acquaintance: Mr. Sebastian Firestone Bradshaw, son of Ellen and Blair Bradshaw, genius artist and great man. Congrats!

Single Mum Scoops £1.1 Million Lotto Prize
Last Updated: Wednesday 4th June 2014, 14:21 pm
A single mum from Nottingham received the "best belated birthday present ever" this week when she picked up a £1.1 million prize from the UK Lotto. 44-year-old Kerry Poxon won £1,171,812 just days after her birthday but remained oblivious to her big win for over a fortnight.
Kerry, who has two young sons, didn't find the time to check her numbers until the boys' half term holiday when she took some time off work. Unaware of its value, Kerry and her children had walked past the winning ticket dozens of times as it had been stuck to her fridge for weeks!
When she finally did check her numbers, Kerry wanted to be sure she'd won. She looked on her phone, on her tablet, on YouTube and even got her dad to check before she finally believed it was true. "I thought I must be going mad" she said, "I couldn't believe it."
After living on a budget for years, pharmacy worker Kerry revealed she didn't have any extravagant plans for her big win but hoped to return to university to study midwifery or health care. She added that the big win would ensure a financially secure future for her and her family.
Kerry was one of three players who matched all six main numbers drawn on Saturday 10th May to receive an equal share of the £3.5 million top prize. The winning numbers from the night were 3, 5, 8, 10, 16 and 17 with the Bonus Ball of 46.
The next UK Lotto draw takes place tonight and is offering players an estimated jackpot of £2.1 million. Follow the Lottery Tickets tab to find out how you can participate in tonight's big game.

Discussion in 'Forum Suggestions & Feedback' started by ahiddenman, Jan 17, 2011.
Can a mod please contact me asap i need something approved.
Yes sir.
Your a mod?
Lol no I was being sarcastic. Long day.
Posting a thread on BHW asking for a mod to contact you isn't really going to be effective. Just PM one and wait for them to reply. They are all busy and donate their time free, it's not their job to reply immediately to everyone who wants to sell something on BHW.
How nice meathead
I contact around 2 mods 3 days ago and i've got no reply
Thats the purpose of this thread.
Then maybe create another thread asking how many are waiting to have their sales thread approved. Mods can be busy so since you sent a message, you should wait.
When you say you contacted around two mods, you mean you contacted more than that right?
Lol how did you know , I contact 3 haha
Ok , I see you must be quite close knitted to the owner/mods/admins because your thread got approved quite quickly.
it is not about how "close knitted" we all are equal.
it is simply the time restraints.
look around the forum for similar threads,
see what they did/ how long to wait for it got reply etc...
and wait, just like everyone else.
be patient though.
Separate names with a comma.

words are wonderful.
they have the power to caress, uplift, embolden, dance and love.
words can make you feel like a gawky teenager all over again, like when the world was full of good people, when a stranger could offer a lollipop or a lift with no ulterior intent, when the sun felt warm and sweet and happy and never hot.
they can fill your belly with such joy that you might need to burp, such laughter that you might feel sad knowing immediately, suddenly and sadly, that the laughter will and must die.
words are like passionate lovers; free-flowing and brave and giving, as unabashed in a peck on the cheek as in a super-swallow blow job.
words are also educative; they can teach you, make you live longer by making you dwell both in the past and the future in one lifetime, by making you understand history, culture, moments of deliberation and moments of defiance.
words are immortal; they live in suspended animation, belonging as much to the listener as the speaker, breathing for centuries after the person who uttered them is excreta in an earthworm's belly or dust in a choking world from a long-dead pyre.
words are inspiration; they are muscle in battle-weary sinews, courage in hero-starved nations, hope for the love-destitute and redemption for the condemned.
words are dreams about realities yet to happen, explanations of magic yet to be seen and truths about Santa Claus. In that way, they are also escape; lifeboats from Alactraz, tunnels in Shawshank and the gunny bag for the Count of Monte Cristo.
words are art in the alphabet form and sensibility for the noveau-literate.
but for all their beauty, words have a Hyde side too.
wielded carelessly or craftily, they can hurt, wound, gloat, pulverize and annihilate.
totally, completely and eternally.
and that's why, kneaded with all my love for them, is a cold dollop of fear.
for what they might make me say, or make me hear.
they really are two-faced sons-of-bitches.
and there's no other word for them.
peace, love, empathy

When state agencies start talking about merging, especially those involving wildlife and fisheries, folks tend to take notice.
A Pennsylvania Legislative Budget and Finance Committee has released a report about a merger between the state's Fish and Boat Commission and Game Commission. The last formal discussions were about 11 years ago. Nothing is finalized or in the works.
"This certainly isn't the first time that a merge has been studied, but nothing has happened up until this point," Travis Lau, Press Secretary of the Pennsylvania Game Commission said in this report. "I am not sure if the talks regarding a merger have taken place, but I am sure in the upcoming weeks and months we will see what they will ultimately decide."

This Masters just can't seem to keep his johnson in his pants.
William H. Masters III — son of the Masters and Johnson sex researcher — who was busted Saturday for allegedly exposing himself to two female undercover cops while kayaking in Michigan, was also arrested last May on charges of masturbating in Central Park, The Post has learned.
Michigan authorities said they plan on showing photos of the Emmy-winning TV news producer, who's known as "Howie," to other women to see if he's the same flasher who whipped it out in prior incidents near his family's ritzy vacation home on Lake Huron.
Masters' "description and the m.o. fits a lot of the incidents that have taken place," said Huron County Sheriff Kelly Hanson, who set up the kayak sting because of four such incidents in the past two weeks.
"The location, the time of year, the description: it fits a lot of the occurrences," said Hanson, who noted he cannot say if Masters was definitely involved in the past cases which date back several years.
Masters' late namesake dad was famous for his ground-breaking work in human sexuality published with his second wife, Virginia Johnson, with whom he co-authored the best-seller "Human Sexual Response" and "Human Sexual Inadequacy."
The Post's Page Six yesterday revealed that the younger Masters was the man arrested near his cottage in the exclusive Pointe aux Barques community at 2:50 p.m Saturday.
Masters, 60, "yelled" at two passing female kayakers — actually undercover cops — "for their attention," police said. "He was completely nude and making obscene gestures."
The kayakers and another officer chased Masters. They nabbed him after he had dressed, authorities said.
Masters, who is married to fellow TV producer Victoria Baker, spent three days in jail before being released on $5,000 bond. The Hamptons, LI, resident is due back in court Sept. 13 on that charge, which has a maximum sentence of two years in prison.
Masters is due in Manhattan Criminal Court Oct. 17 for a strikingly similar incident in Central Park May 9, when he was spotted by a cop at 9:15 a.m. in the Ramble, a wooded area notorious for anonymous gay sex, court records claim.
The cop spotted Masters standing "naked" and touching himself "in a manner consistent with masturbation," the records state.
He agreed to perform two days of community service in exchange for having the case dismissed and his record expunged.
Masters' New York lawyer, Irwin Rochman, declined to comment last night.
