A sunny afternoon at Silver Lake
Aah, the joys of early summer in Vermont. A warm sunny day, Inn chores all finished, and a few hours before guests are due to arrive at our Woodstock, Vermont bed & breakfast. Not a difficult thing for me to figure out what to do with myself- enlist a friend and make the short drive to Silver Lake State Park. For just $3 per person admission, you get to experience one of my favorite places. You can sun yourself on the grassy lawn that makes its way down to the lake, where you can go for a swim.
Another great activity at the park is to rent a little paddle boat. We did just that, and spent a lazy hour and half on the lake. In that time frame we paddled from one end of the lake to the other, looking at all of the sweet little (and some not so little) houses and cottages along the lake.
For those that have more time to spare than I did today, you can pack a picnic and make an afternoon of it. Ahhh, until next time, Silver Lake!

With all the talk about San Francisco and Seattle lapping the NFC West ... if not the NFC itself ... it's hard to remember that we need to pay attention to St. Louis, too.
One reason is the Rams' defense. It's tough, physical and difficult to solve. The second is what happened last year. The Rams had the best record in the division and didn't lose to San Francisco. But it's the third reason I want to address because the third reason is Sam Bradford.
With the exit of running back Steven Jackson, the Rams belong to their fourth-year quarterback. He's not just the focus of the offense; he's the focus of the entire team, with St. Louis going only as far as Bradford can take it.
Of course, that's what leaders do, and Bradford is the leader of the St. Louis Rams. It's his job not only to demonstrate that he's one of the game's most promising and underrated young quarterbacks, but to prove that the Rams are closer to San Francisco and Seattle than most of us believe.
"People can talk about those two teams all they want because in the offseason that's all it is ... talk," said Bradford. "We know that once the season starts is when everything gets real.
"If you look at what we were able to do last year against the division, we had the best record (4-1-1) in arguably the best division in football. I think that shows how close we are to being put in a sentence with those two teams.
"Now, give them credit. They were very good last year. With San Francisco making it to the Super Bowl and almost winning it, they deserve all the credit that people are giving them right now. But if we go out and play to our potential and play the way we know we can, I don't think it will be that long before people start realizing there are not just two elite teams in the division. I think we could be thrown into that conversation, too."
But that depends on the development of Bradford, and finally, mercifully, the Rams understand. After losing Jackson and Danny Amendola to free agency, they took steps to make their quarterback better. First of all, they drafted a pair of long-overdue outside weapons in rookies Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey. Then they added quality offensive linemen in free-agent left tackle Jake Long and rookie center Barrett Jones.
Now, the rest is up to Bradford, who last year had a better passer rating than Andrew Luck, Jay Cutler and Matt Stafford, and, yes, I think he's up to it. In fact, I say he takes a giant step forward this season, and I say the Rams do, too.
"I'm really excited about what we've done this year," he said. "I think this is one of the first years where there's been a very conscious effort to bring people in on the offensive side of the ball. I'm just excited to work with everyone we've added, and I'm looking forward to having this offense come together and form an identity."
So are a lot of people in St. Louis. It's been too many years since "The Greatest Show on Turf" dazzled audiences, destroyed opponents and put the Rams at or near the top of the NFL. Not only haven't they had a winning season in eight years; they ranked no higher than 23rd in offense the last six.
But that was before the club woke up to Bradford and realized he can't lead if he's handcuffed. By acquiring Austin, the most explosive playmaker in this year's draft, as well as Bradley ... then adding Long to protect Bradford's back ... the Rams made it clear who the centerpiece of this organization is.
"I would agree (it's my team to lead)," he said. "Obviously, 'Jack' (Jackson) was a key piece of this offense and this organization for a long time. He was looked at as the cornerstone and the leader of not only this offense but this team. And so, with his departure this offseason, there's definitely a big role and a big void to fill -- just as far as his leadership abilities -- and I think that gives me the opportunity to step up and be that leader.
"I always felt I've been a leader, but with 'Jack' here it was still his team, and he was the one that guys looked to. I hope I can become that guy this year."
The Rams do, too. Because they're closing in on Seattle and San Francisco ... and if you don't know that, too bad. Sam Bradford does, and he has more than a supporting cast to do something about it. He has the opportunity.

Skip to comments.23% Say U.S. Government Has the Consent of the Governed
Posted on 07/19/2010 8:38:13 AM PDT by george76
The notion that governments derive their only just authority from the consent of the governed is a foundational principle of the American experiment.
However, a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 23% of voters nationwide believe the federal government today has the consent of the governed. Sixty-two percent (62%) say it does not, and 15% are not sure.
(Excerpt) Read more at rasmussenreports.com ...
Count me in the 62%
That figure of 23% likely won't go lower. That's the nitwits and some others who are dependent on the government dole...
Isn't 23% close to the total black population in the US?
We are not being served, we are being ruled.
According to the article, senior citizens are at 85%.
Washington needs to be sacked!
No....the Black population is about 12-13% I believe.
You know I can understand the 23% because there will always be sycophants, moochers, and zealots but the 15% that don't know, that's scary.
Well then let "them" change it.. if they still can..
Odds are only revolt can or will change it..
There could be a November surprise in store for those looking for the silver bullet of change..
The socialists have been practicing for 100 years on how to overwhelm a system and change it.. They may have gotten very good at it.. By the way have the Death Squads started YET?..
-OR- are "they" still composing lists of the ones to be visited by them..
That figure of 23% likely wont go lower. Thats the nitwits and some others who are dependent on the government dole...
That 23% is made up of the usual suspects and known non-deserving parasites upon the taxpayer. I say that because there are many who have PAID THEIR WAY toward what little they get back from the Washington mob. It is not difficult to figure out who the 23% are — just read a so-called newspaper. They are the ones that the MSM will NOT say anything about.....
I'm pissed that I haven't got my pie like Zer0 promised.
Those folks could easily be a combination of those who don't want to send out negative energy and those who are afraid to criticize either position.
Then there are those who refused to be surveyed.
... then our duty is clear.
"15% are not sure."
15% are not sure what "consent of the governed" means.
there, fixed it.
Obamacare will take care of that little problem. Ironically.
2 words: Health Care
Don't forget the mentally ill and I suspect they even polled the dead. They seem to have a direct line to the as@holes in hell.
I still think that is a larger number than those who actually believe! in 0's regieme.
I'm sure there have been revolutions started with non-consent higher than 22%
gee, I wonder WHY? /sarc
" ... whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government ..."
There is no question that this government, from the Chief Executive to the Congress, has "become destructive" of the Peoples' rights and liberties. Our rights -- and responsibilities -- are clear.
Wow, this is a real eye opener. The level of discontent with this regime is huge.
Some days I wonder what it would be like to be part of that 15% who are not sure; to have a small minority of the population sucking the lifeblood out of your body, and out of the futures of your next several generations, and still be too stupified to notice, or even care when notified.
Is ignorance really bliss?
The biggest gap ever ?
This specific poll isn't a question I've followed over time, but I'd guess this is the biggest gap. It's huge.

The Y Chromosome Deletion Detection System, Version 2.0, provides a standardized screening panel amplifying only informative nonpolymorphic sequence tag sites (STS) on the human Y chromosome. The system amplifies key functional regions associated with AZoospermia Factor (AZF), namely the regions that flank AZFa and cover AZFb, AZFc, AZFd including DAZ, KAL-Y, SMCY and flanking loci for other key spermatogenesis-related genes (namely RBM1, DFFRY and DBY).

Five Multiplex Master Mixes, with a total of 20 characterized Y-specific primer pairs, are included. Four of the multiplex primer sets contain a control primer pair that amplifies a fragment of the X-linked SMCX locus. One of the multiplex primer sets (Multiplex E Master Mix) contains a control primer pair that amplifies a unique region in both male and female DNA (ZFX/ZFY). Finally, a primer pair that amplifies a region of the SRY gene has been included in Multiplex E Master Mix as a control for the testis-determining factor on the short arm of the Y chromosome to detect XX males arising from Y to X translocations.
The Multiplex Master Mixes are designed to facilitate the simultaneous amplification of several different regions of the Y chromosome. The amplification products (83–496bp) of the five multiplex PCR amplifications can be clearly separated by agarose gel electrophoresis and visualized by ethidium bromide staining.
Failure to amplify specific regions of the Y chromosome is indicative of Y chromosome deletions in the test sample. The size control ladder provided minimizes analysis time and the possibility of misinterpreting molecular weight of amplification products.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
I've been wondering what the world would be like today if the environmental movement started when the dinosaurs were alive and roamed the earth. What about the wooly mammoths and the mastodon. Well, maybe those beasts would still be alive today. Maybe when you went out to get in your car and drove to work you would have to dodge the dinosaurs on the highways. Dinosaurs were big and took up a lot of room on the planet. Wouldn't it be interesting if they were still with us.
It always annoys me that animals and plants are treated with higher regard than people in our world today. I have attended this presentation probably three times now at different meetings where the San Rafael River Restoration project has been presented. It bothers me every time I hear it. The most I can get out of it is they are making things better for the round-tailed chub which is in danger of being added to the endangered species list. If the species is listed then this area could come under all sorts of new federal regulations in regards to providing water for this fish which may or may not be in danger depending on how you look at it.
One million dollars has been provided by the NRCS for tamarisk removal along the San Rafael. These tamarisk will be replaced with willow and cottonwoods which use quite a bit of water as well.
It was pointed out by a listener in the last meeting that removing all these tamarisk from along the river banks sets up a situation where flooding can occur. September is the month where the San Rafael River sees the highest peak flows. This occurs from the heavy rain storms the county usually encounters each fall. This denuding of the banks of the river is going to cause some problems until regrowth of the native species occurs.
Just who planted the tamarisk, why it's those same groups that are taking them out now, that brought them here in the first place, because they wanted to keep banks from eroding, but the tamarisk had side effects they didn't plan for. They drink gallon upon gallon of water and they spread like crazy. What about the tamarisk beetle they've introduced to eat the tamarisk what side effects will this creature have in the years to come. Will they suddenly develop a taste for alfalfa?
What about those chubs they want to protect. I still can't figure out why some chubs are more important than others and who decides which chub is more important. Each year I hear the chubs are ruining Joe's Valley and they yank them out of there by the thousands and take them to the land fill to rot. These are Bonneville chubs, native to Utah. And now on the other hand, a different species of chubs is having all this monitoring equipment and tests and studies and a whole river drainage system is going to be reconfigured just to give this little fish a chance.
This fish is not a sport fish. The fisherman aren't clamouring around the San Rafael River to see if they can catch him. So why? It seems to me nothing the government does any more makes any sense. Lands sit vacant and unused in Oregon because of the owl. Farm lands have lost their water in other places because of a song bird, or a turtle or the list could go on and on.
I probably didn't pay as much attention in biology as I should have and that was years ago, but I do remember things like natural selection and the survival of the fittest. Maybe everything is not supposed to survive for all times. If the dinosaurs were supposed to survive, then wouldn't they still be here. Didn't they adapt and evolve and aren't some of the animals we have today distant relatives of those species? Doesn't everything have a time and a season. People cannot be everything and provide everything an animal or a plant needs to survive in the wild. The plant or animal will survive or they won't. We cannot control their whole environment and their world. Our planet is an ever changing place. This planet has cycled through cold and heat and will continue to do so and there's not a lot we can do about it.
I believe we should take care of our environment. I am a very green person. I recycle and save and reuse everything. All my egg shells and vegetable scraps go into the garden, I eat every bit of food in my fridge, I use every bit of gasoline in my tank, I could go on and on. I just have never figured out why we spend millions of dollars on plants and animals and we have hungry children around the world. We have sick children with no medical help. We have thousands of social ills, but yet millions of dollars are spent to try to keep one animal alive. I don't see where it's such a bad thing, if plants and animals go away. New plants and animals will grow to take their place. It's always been this way. The dinosaurs are gone, maybe the round-tailed chubs are next. Who knows, and I'm not just picking on this one particular project, but I see this all the time every day, and I think it's crazy. One cactus at the Millsite Golf Course has cost the course nearly $100,000 more and delayed the project at least a year and a half from when it was supposed to start. How can one cactus have such power. Why have we allowed ourselves to be held over a barrel for things of such nominal importance in the scope of things.

Mining Lights and HatsOil-Wick Cap Lamps
|Oil-Wick Cap Lamp with Drip Ring
The oil-wick lamp first came into use in Scotland around 1850, and remained in use until the 1920's. Before oil-wick lamps were popularized, candles were the main source of illumination in the mine. The candles were set into spiked metal candle holders, and either hammered into the framing timbers or precariously attached to a miner's hat. The design of oil-wick cap lamps were simple and consistent, an appropriation of the teapot style of lamps available at the time.
The lamps were usually made of brass, with a hinged lid over the font and a hook on the back to mount the lamp on a miner's cap. The font contained a mix of fat and oil for fuel, which would be pulled through the wick to the top of the spout, where the lamp would be lit. Miner's would use the cheapest type of fuel they could get their hands on, often using lard oil cut with kerosene that gave off an extremely smoky flame, irritating the miner's eyes and leaving his face coated with soot. The collection of oil-wick lamps shows a variety of attachments that were made to the spout. A drip ring could be added to catch any oil falling from the wick, and a reflector could be attached in and attempt to direct the light to the miner's work surface.
|Miner's wearing Oil-Wick Lamps, Consolidated Coal Co. No. 204, Jenkins, KY July 19, 1912
The oil-wick cap lamp held a variety of advantages over candles—the light burned brighter, lasted longer, and was easier to carry and wear. But the oil-wick cap lamp also had several drawbacks. The flame, while brighter than a candle's, was much smokier, and the open flame of the oil-wick lamp could ignite the flammable gasses in mines resulting in deadly explosions. The threat of explosions prompted the development on the safety lamp for use in potentially combustible mines, and the invention of the carbide lamp generally phased out the use oil-wick lamps by the 1920s.

Miner's Cap Lamp
- Description (Brief)
- This oil-wick cap lamp was made by George Anton & Son in Monongahela, Pennsylvania during the second half of the 19th century. It has as double spout, indicating that it burned "Sunshine" fuel, a mixture of paraffin wax and 3% mineral oil produced by the Standard Oil Company. Called a "Sunshine Lamp," the outer spout served to insulate the wick in the inner spout, thereby conducting enough heat to melt the wax in the Sunshine fuel. This kind of lamp hooked onto a miner's cap, and produced an open flame.

In last year Expedia, Inc. (NASDAQ:EXPE) paid dividend of $0.26 per share versus the payout of $0.26 a share in the comparable quarter, implying a difference of 27.2727 percent.
The experts are predicting EPS of $2.23. Expedia, Inc. (NASDAQ:EXPE) has a price target of $138.866 in short-range. This price is the average of the stock price targets given by 15 analysts. They have the target range of $99 to $175 for the next year. As a result, the standard deviation is calculated at $18.65 after seeing all the price revisions.
Many investors depend on earnings performance to take their investment decisions. Equities are assessed as per their ability to improve earnings and to beat or meet analysts' consensus projections.
The basic measurement of financial performance is earnings per share. This factor is calculated as the firm's net earnings/net income found on income statement minus dividends on preferred stock, divided by outstanding shares count. For instance, if a firm generates a net income of $12 million in 3Q and has 8 million shares outstanding, its per-share earnings would be $1.50.
The question is why does the investment group focus on earnings instead of focusing on other metrics such as cash flow or sales? Any financial expert can tell that the proper way to value an equity is to estimate the free cash flow of a firm in long-term, discount them to the present day and later divide by the count of shares.
For the period closed on 2015-12-31, Expedia, Inc. (NASDAQ:EXPE) reported EPS of $0.4. The firm can post financials for the quarter ending on 2016-09-30 on or around 2016-11-03.

The camera which inspired the DP's enthusiasm was Sony's HDC-100, an analog three-tube camera with an ASA of only 50. "You needed a lot of lights with that camera, but you couldn't point the camera at any of them [without the] risk of blowing out one of the expensive tubes," recalls Dark. The HDC-100 also required a camera-control unit and separate large, very heavy HD recorder, plus a large CRT monitor — basically a small production truck. "To me it was 'user hostile,' but I loved the images," notes Dark. Apparently so, as HD Vision Studios was one of the first production companies in North America to specialize in HD.
Along the way, Dark became an HD evangelist speaking and demonstrating HD at trade fairs and film festivals across the U.S. and beyond. He also bought one of the very first HDCAMs on the continent. "My first HDW-700 had serial number 004," says Dark. "I was one of the first in North America to shoot HD with a camcorder." The first HDW-700s cost well over $50K without a lens or batteries, and Dark used the HDW-700 and 700As in many documentary projects over the next decade and beyond. "In the early days of HD, all HD cameras were 'high end,' and most indies had to rent cameras, including mine, to shoot in HD," he remembers.
However, Dark shot many documentary projects with the HDW-700s over the next decade or so, including Fiesta in the Sky (about a huge annual hot-air balloon festival in New Mexico) for national broadcast on PBS in 1999. "The HDW-700 was the only portable HD camcorder available [at that time], and only captured 1080/60i, but we were just happy to have a self-contained, portable HD camera," says the DP, who also appreciates the ruggedness of the early HD cameras. "While shooting Fiesta, we broke the 700's viewfinder in a bad balloon crash, but the camera per se was fine. Also, while shooting Iced, an extreme-skiing doc, it grew so cold that they shut down the mountain. However, the HDW-700 kept shooting without a hitch."
Dark and his producer/partner Kristen Cox have shot and produced many docs and non-fiction projects with the HDW-700 and 700A, many of them HD firsts for the U.S. and north. Hence, there was little pressure on them to upgrade to a newer HD camera until 2000 when Sony introduced the HDW-F900, its first CineAlta camera. The F900 was first to capture full-1080 HD resolution at 24 and 30 FPS. This opened the floodgates to more film-like HD cameras capturing HD at 24p, 30p and many other frame rates too. And this further accelerated the sea change from film to digital acquisition.
Among Dark's first large documentary projects with the F900 was "European Getaways," a TV series of travelogues featuring visits to nine famous European cities. As "European Getaways" was shot for broadcast, Dark didn't need the 24p feature, but he did need the F900's light sensitivity and wide dynamic latitude. "We shot this mainly with available light, plus a few portable lights, but only when necessary and convenient," Dark recalls. "The F900's sensitivity and latitude spared us from having to light most scenes. This enabled us to change scenes quickly and to do up to 50 setups per day."
Some of these documentary locales were so unique and rare that it required total confidence in the shoot results. "At the Vatican, we got permission to shoot the Pope saying mass, only a few feet away," notes Dark. "After leveling the tripod, I simply white-balanced the F900 and shot it without disruption to the mass. I was so confident in the camera's ability to capture what I saw in the viewfinder, that I shipped most of the footage home without even a glance. The F900's broad dynamic range and great picture quality let us cut our prep time in half [and] move from location to location to set up and break down quickly without sacrificing image quality." Each of Dark's two crews also had at least a three-light kit and a Sun Gun, which were used as needed but, more often than not, sat in their cases.
Dark also lauds the F900 as a camera with long shelf life. "Even though the F900 was the hottest camera of its era nearly a decade ago, many great cameras have matched or superseded its picture quality since," says Dark. "However, it can still hold its own against most of the newer cameras, and 'European Getaways' is still being broadcast today. I still use the F900 for projects today and stock footage I shot with it years ago still intercuts with that from the newest cameras."
Nevertheless, cameras have come a long way since the birth of the F900. There's currently an explosion of options, including 2K, 4K, 3D and 1080p/60, with some of those options now appearing in prosumer camcorders and even cell phones — all tapeless. And the recording quality of some of these products is now good enough for many pro applications.
For documentarians, 2011 is the best of times as well as the worst of times, with myriad options but limited guidance on the best choices for documentary productions. Dark advises shooters to evaluate the goals of each new project. "When I started shooting HD, owning gear made sense," says Dark. "It was hard to find and expensive to rent, and being among the first to have it got me jobs. When I started there were only a handful of camera formats, but today there are dozens and one size doesn't fit all. These days I'm format and camera agnostic rather than being pigeonholed as the DP with a particular camera. Now I ask, 'What's the story and how do I want to tell it?' If it happens long ago and far away, I may go for a filmic or even an SD video look. But if it's happening right now, I'll go for a realistic look, as if the audience has their faces pressed against the window to see in. That, the audience, the delivery medium, the shooting environment, and the budget all affect my camera selection for new doc projects."
Dark's recent documentary Makarios: A Rising Tide was shot mainly in poor rural villages in the Dominican Republic with limited electricity for lighting. "The camera had to be as sensitive as possible as I had to rely on two DC lights, a Frezzolini Sun Gun and a Litepanels MicroPro LED camera light much of the time, with limited battery power," the DP recalls. "A DSLR like the Canon 5D Mark II or the 7D would have been ideal with their large sensors, except for the audio recording issue. Good audio was critical, and we couldn't take a chance recording it to a separate recorder." Dark adds that the F900 was also too power-and-tape intensive, as it would have been a distraction in the small remote villages and changed people's behavior.
In the end, Dark chose Sony's EX1 camera with half-inch sensors, which is fairly light sensitive and has high resolution. "[The EX1] is also fairly compact and unobtrusive, and it records to high-capacity data cards, which we downloaded each night to hard drives versus accumulating boxes and boxes of tapes," Dark explains. "Fortunately, in 30p mode it also captures great image quality at high-enough resolution to be projected on a theatrical screen for our target audience of teachers, students, civic groups, etc." According to Dark, the EX1 handled the shoot's lighting challenges pretty well. "We relied on available light as much as possible in the villages because we had limited battery power for lights and camera," the DP notes. "So we mainly used the little MicroPro, which takes standard AA batteries, and interviewed most people outside their houses rather than inside where it was often dark."
Dark also had Frezzi's 75-watt Sun Gun but no way to recharge once the battery wore out. "With the sensitivity of the EX1 and those two lights, we got the job done by maximizing available light and boosting it with reflectors," explains Dark, who also used higher-powered lighting to interview teachers inside the schools. "We needed to intercut interviews with teachers in the Dominican Republic with interviews of teachers in U.S. schools shot with three-point lighting," says Dark. "Hence, we were able to use the same Lowel 200s and 500s in the schools that had generators."
If Dark were shooting Makarios today, he might use Panasonic's AF100 or Sony's FS100 or the pricier F3 instead of the EX1. "You don't have to use a $50K HD camera today to shoot a great-looking doc anymore," Dark says. "Many of today's $5K cameras can capture higher-quality HD than yesterday's $50K cameras. Today's $50K cameras are much better than yesterday's, but it still comes down to how you use the tools you have rather than having the latest and greatest ones. The stock footage shot with the F900 and 700A is still in high demand for intercutting in docs shot with today's best digital cameras."

Darren Betz scored a game-high 26 points and Slayden Figg dropped in 18, but Carrier Mills-Stonefort dropped its home opener, 62-57, to Zeigler-Royalton Tuesday night at DeWitt Gymnasium.
The Wildcats (0-5) were able to jump out to a double digit lead in the first quarter, but were outscored 22-10 in the second stanza and trailed 36-30 at intermission.
"I think we're getting better each game," said Carrier Mills coach Mark Motsinger. "Zeigler's got a nice team. That's the same group of boys that beat Trico last year and beat Sesser. They didn't really lose anybody. I felt like we played a pretty good game, but we've still got some timing issues in our offense."
After building a double digit lead themselves, the Tornadoes (3-1) led 45-39 after three quarters and had to sweat things out down the stretch.
A triple from Betz brought the Wildcats to within 57-55 with 1:05 to play, but Z-R was able to connect with some big shots late in the game. Zeigler-Royalton also converted on all but one free throw in the final quarter.
Senior Nick McPhail had 19 points for Zeigler-Royalton and teammate Bailey Schimpf added 17, including five 3-pointers.
Jeremy Weddle and Timmy Brooks combined for 16 points off the bench.
Carrier Mills started slow out of the gate last season, dropping its first six games a year ago, but still managed to finish with a winning record.
Motsinger believes his team can turn the tide again and was pleased with the play of his leading scorers, but thinks his club needs to find more options on the offensive end.
"We've got to figure out a way to get a little more out of the rest of them," said Motsinger. "Betz was all over the floor. He scored about any place we wanted him too. Slayden's tough to guard too, but like I said, we've got to get some more out of these other guys. Right now, that's our soft spot."
Carrier Mills won the JV game 47-23.
Zeigler-Royalton 14 22 9 17 – 62
Carrier Mills-Stonefort 20 10 9 18 - 57
Z-R (62): McPhail 6 7-9 19, Stubblefield 0 2-4 2, Schimpf 6 0-0 17, Moskoff 1 0-1 2, Jones 3 0-2 6, Weddle 3 00-0 8, Brooks 3 2-2 8. Totals 22 11-18 62.

By DAN VALENTINE
He's a man who looks the world in the eye. He's a man who feels an extra heart tug when the flag goes by. He's a man who steps a little faster when he hears the beat of a military band.
He's a veteran.
He comes in all assorted sizes and shapes. He's a big man, he's a small man, he's a short man, he's a tall man.
He is the "Doughboy" of World War I, the "G.I." of World War II. He's a man who's seen Korea's skies, and fought the cold and silent battle of uneasy Berlin.
He is a Sailor, Soldier, Marine. He is Flyer, Seabee, Coast Guard. He is Artillery, Infantry, Medic, Chemical Corps, Armored and Ordnance.
He has the quiet dignity of a man who knows the price of freedom. He has the clear eyes of a man who respects himself.
He is courage living on Main Street. He is patriotism mowing the lawn on Saturday afternoon. He is good citizenship with a smile on his face.
He's a Republican, Democrat, Independent. He is father, grandfather, husband and bachelor, uncle.
He is a plumber, doctor, salesman. He is a mechanic, farmer, banker. He is a Catholic, Protestant, Jew. He is rich and poor and in-between.
He's a man who loves peace because he knows the price tag of war.
He's a member of history's most exclusive fraternity.
He's been there...He's a veteran.
He likes the majesty of American mountains, the tranquility of America's valleys. He likes the bustle of America's cities and the friendliness of America's Main Streets.
He likes the sound of America's children playing on American playgrounds. He likes to see the flag go by and hear the sound of an American bugle playing "Taps."
He is citizen soldier, peacetime leader. He's the first to volunteer in time of trouble and the last to come home. He's a veteran.
He is proud of his American past, alert to his American present, confident of his American future.
He likes the legends of America's great, the Washingtons, the Jeffersons, the Abraham Lincolns, the Roosevelts, the Robert E. Lees, the Stonewall Jacksons, the Pattons, the Eisenhowers, the MacArthurs and all the proud patriots who have marched through America's history books.
He has bivouacked at Valley Forge, charged the hills at Gettysburg, faced the fire at San Juan Hill, stormed the sands at Guadalcanal, sloughed through the Marne and swarmed ashore at Omaha Beach. He's a veteran.
In the very rear of his secret heart there is always a tinge of sorrow, a souvenir of sadness for lost comrades.
No matter how gray his temples grow or how many inches he adds to his middle-aged waist, he always walks with a distinctive pride that isn't given to lesser men.
He is America with an honorable discharge. He is Democracy with a good conduct medal lost in the darkness of his keepsake box. He is freedom with a Purple Heart.
He's a first class fighting man with a quiet walk and a sentimental grin.
He's America's most honored citizen.
He's a veteran.

Now I'm seriously thinking it's Ardu's fault :/
"port in use" is a Operative System fault, your PC didn't even tried to communicate with arduino. if the same problem is on the netbook, and the netbook has the c# program, then probably it doesn't shut down properly and so it doesn't remove lock on serial port.

Asics Gel-DS Running Shoe
"The only way I would recommend this shoe is to go up 1/2 a size.I bought this Asics running shoe for my mother-in-law in 81/2 and it fits me. My size is a perfect 8! The cushion is ok....not great. Not my best purchase."

"I have high arches and wide feet and just started running.. This shoe is very comfrotable and very supportive. It does run slightly small so I would order a 1/2 size up from what you are."

"After not having a great experience with previous Asics, I was a little hesitant to try these new kicks. However, I have to admit their rockin' colors and sassy look inspired me to try them! I have run 20 miles in them, and so far, no blisters, no hot spots, and plenty of ventilation. I just hope they can go the distance for the next 300-500 miles!"

Comments about sheer tint spf20:
I love how light this product feels on my skin while providing just the right amount of coverage.
Comments about sheer tint spf20:
Have just started using this having switched from Clarins tinted mosituriser. Approaching my mid 40s I no longer like to use foundations as I fond them too drying. Sheer tint is so light, applies easily and has a lovely frangrance. I use medium shade which blends nicely with my skin even tough I am cool toned. I apply sheet tint after skin smoothing cream and my skin looks great, the coverage is perfect for me as I am not looking to completely cover up my freckles and my skin is generally good.
Comments about sheer tint spf20:
great product, but how long should the expiry date be into the future when you purchase? I'm trying to get a refund from a distributor due to the 2 months away expiry date!
Comments about sheer tint spf20:
I use it instead of makeup. As my skin has aged I find less is better. I've heard your discontinuing this product...I hope that's just a rumor. I'd be lost trying to find something even comparable. Please continue.
Comments about sheer tint spf20:
I've tried many BB, CC, etc. creams. This one is the best. I won't use any other now that I found this one. My skin is fair-light and the lightest shade is perfect. Just enough coverage to smooth out a little hyperpigmentation and a couple frackles and uneven spots. Also, it has a very, very subtle sheen that makes for a dewy - not Illuminated - look. Perfect for me! And it lasts all day. The spf in it is great. I wear it everyday and love it.
Comments about sheer tint spf20:
it gives moister as well as an even skin tone ! love it !
Comments about sheer tint spf20:
Oh my god! You have changed the formula AGAIN?! Why couldn`t you just leave it as it was? This time the color is way to light in the light version and it doesn`t moisture my skin at all. The previous formula was perfect - why mess with it?
Comments about sheer tint spf20:
I use this product year round (either medium or dark, depending on my tan) and it is all I use for foundation. It gives flawless coverage and can be blended with other moisture creams or liquids, such as intensive moisture balance.
Comments about sheer tint spf20:
I bought Sheer Tint as an alternative to makeup because I didn't want its chemical ingredients sitting on my skin all day. My skin is acne prone - oily in the summer and dehydrated in the winter - and to be honest I didn't think this product would do much for me. I was soooo wrong! Sheer Tint is a game changer. My skin now has a light translucent glow and it looks happier and healthier than it ever has. It's kept hydrated throughout the day plus has SPF. I use this over Active Moist in the day and alternate with Skinperfect Primer. I prefer Sheer Tint over Skinperfect Primer as it smells more natural and is more lightweight on the skin. Plus the SPF doesn't sting your eyes. I plan on using Sheer Tint instead of foundation makeup for many years.
Comments about sheer tint spf20:
I have used this for a few years and highly recommend it.

2 answers
A:I'm not sure whether it's oil-free, but I can say that it has worked beautifully with my skin which is typically very oily! I feel like it has kept my skin from appearing oily and keeps my makeup in place. I use this every day under my powder makeup.

Changes to Animal Ethics submission and pre-review deadlines
6 May 2013
The Animal Ethics Committee (AEC) has recognised a need to approve more applications and modifications in less time.
One way in which this could be achieved is to allow more time to clarify and improve applications and modifications by consulting with researchers after submission and before AEC meetings.
There is often not enough time to follow up even minor issues, leading to application approval being deferred or rejected and researchers having to re-submit to the next meeting.
As such the AEC has decided to lengthen the period of time between the submission and pre-review deadlines and the relevant AEC Main and AEC Executive Meetings.
So from 1 June 2013, the submission deadlines for the AEC Main Meeting, the AEC Executive Meeting and the draft pre-review deadline each month will all move forward two days, in order to provide more time for the AEC to liaise with researchers on applications and modifications before a decision is made at the relevant AEC meeting. This will hopefully increase the number of applications and modifications that are approved without undue delay.
The updated dates can be found on the Research Support website.
If you have any queries please contact the Animal Ethics Office via email: email@example.com.

Cafe du Monde Saves the Coffee
Change. Not always welcome, but inevitable. I usually resist, but am almost always thrilled with the outcome. In this case, it involves coffee – not just any coffee, but our beloved French Market Coffee from New Orleans that we have been serving at our Woodstock Vermont bed and breakfast for the past nine years. This change was in the works for some time.
For many years I would call French Market to order our coffee. A very sweet woman named Michelle would answer, ask me how life is in the village of Woodstock, Vermont, and then take my coffee order. One day Michelle was gone. There was much confusion. Eventually someone on the phone told me that French Market Coffee was sold to Reily Foods, a much bigger company.
Though it was difficult at first, eventually we were assigned a new sales rep. No more sweet conversations with Michelle, but at least we could still get our coffee. That is, until Reily Foods sent us a letter in late August -they would no longer ship us coffee. Not thank you Village Inn of Woodstock for being a loyal customer for nine years, not sorry for the inconvenience, not call us if you have any questions. But, they did give us the name of another supplier, along with the owner's phone number and e-mail address. Okay, I was a little bit annoyed, but I called the new supplier. The owner answered the phone "hello", no company name, no introduction. I explained that I'd like to buy coffee. We had a very pleasant conversation, he said that he would send me a price list along with a product listing for everything else that he sells. He asked me to send an e-mail with my contact info. I did that – no response. I followed up with another e-mail – no response. Two more phone calls -neither were returned.
So, French Market is not the most famous coffee in New Orleans. We originally chose French Market just because it is what most of the old line restaurants in New Orleans serve. But, you already know how that story ended.
Enter Cafe Du Monde, the New Orleans institution on Jackson Square. I called them and was immediately transferred to Chris, their wholesale manager. We arranged to meet this past November. It was all quite nice, much like when we first arranged to do business with French Market. A small company, a face and a name that appreciate your business. A welcome change! And an awesome cup o' joe to complete our Vermont inn's breakfast. We hope that you agree, we'll be getting our first shipment from Cafe du Monde in just a few weeks.

The Ospreys scored six tries as they powered to a deserved 44-10 RaboDirect PRO12 victory over Edinburgh in Swansea on Saturday.
The Ospreys scored six tries as they powered to a deserved 44-10 PRO12 victory over Edinburgh in Swansea on Saturday.
With a pack that boasted four Lions stalwarts from the outset, the Ospreys cruised to victory with a pair of tries from Eli Walker and Richard Hibbard along with solo efforts from Jeff Hassler and Matthew Morgan.
Tim Visser's 50th PRO12 try was the only highlight for Edinburgh who struggled to contain a rampant Ospreys side.
The hosts flew out of the blocks and took an early lead as Ian Evans claimed the ball from the lineout and a careful re-shuffling of the forwards allowed Canadian winger Hassler to dart over for a debut try. Dan Biggar made light work of the conversion to make it a seven point play before adding two penalties in quick succession.
After weathering the early storm, Edinburgh made a rare venture into the Ospreys' half on the half hour mark, with Harry Leonard scoring his side's first point of the evening from the boot.
Biggar restored the Welsh side's 13 point lead with a third penalty before Justin Tipuric was introduced to replace Tom Smith who was stretchered off the field after a bruising tackle from Tongan powerhouse Aleki Lutui.
Steve Tandy's side showed their intent as Biggar kicked the penalty into touch and the Ospreys were rewarded as the ball was swept from right to left to allow Walker to touch down at the end of the half.
Ospreys started the second half as they ended the first as Hibbard touched down in the corner after some impressive carries from Alun-Wyn Jones, Tipuric and Walker in the build-up.
Edinburgh hit back with their first try of the match as Scotland international Visser capitalised on some lacklustre defending by the home side to sprint over for the try, which Leonard duly converted.
Only minutes later, Tipuric was yellow carded for a tip tackle on scrum-half Sean Kennedy as tempers flared at the Liberty Stadium. But just as momentum looked to be swinging in Edinburgh's favour, Adam Jones expertly marshalled the ball at the back of a driving maul allowing Tito Tibaldi to free Hibbard to secure the bonus point for the Ospreys.
Biggar converted before setting up his side's fifth try just a minute later as Richard Fussell's perfectly weighted grubber kick was gathered by Walker who touched down for his second try, with the fly-half adding the extras.
With the game petering out in the final stages, Matthew Morgan got the home fans jumping out of their seats as he raced from his own 22 metre line to touch down. The 21 year-old converted his own effort to cap off a convincing win for the Ospreys.

Each year, Conservation staff repair, bind or make enclosures for 10,000-12,000 items in the UW Libraries. This care helps to preserve, stabilize or restore the usability of book and paper materials.
Read more about some of our recent projects like the conservation of Sir Walter Raleigh's History of the World.
Conservation at the UW Libraries complements commercial binding, preservation replacement, and other preservation services to provide the most appropriate preservation treatment for materials.
The UW Libraries offers one 10-week pre-program summer internship in conservation each year.
New Construction!
Our new 4,000 square-foot Conservation Center opened in April 2016. This new conservation facility will dramatically increase the Libraries capacity to care for rare books, manuscripts, maps, and drawings, by allowing the Libraries to perform more complicated conservation treatments in-house. Want to know more? Watch a short video preview of our new space, or view our online exhibit, "What's Going on Here?"

Quilting Color Trend: Blue
Blue is the trendy color in fabric! And with so many hues and prints, you can add it to your quilt for a classic look, choose a variety for a modern look, or play with fun prints for a touch of whimsy.
Rhapsody in Blue [1]
Can you keep a secret? This Single Irish Chain quilt showcases a simple Nine-Patch in disguise.
Crossing Point [4]
Cross and Crown blocks take center stage on a scrappy blue-and-white throw.
Roaring Waves [7]
A range of blues and grays, gradating from light to dark, produce the look of waves on a stormy night. Pairing blue with gray instead of white puts a twist on the classic two-color combination.
Stars from the Past [10]
Classic LeMoyne Star blocks in reproduction fabrics shine against a blue background.
Ships Ahoy! [13]
Red, White, and 'Bluetiful' [16]
For a summery wall hanging, pair scrappy blues and crisp whites, then add small pops of red.
Out of the Blue [19]
A range of blues from light to medium to dark forms a grid look in this wall hanging. Dark floral squares emerge from assorted lighter blues to give the project depth.
Sunny Skies [22]
Winter Blues [25]
Make classic Churn Dash blocks in an icy color palette for a stunning winter table topper.
Cold Snap [28]
Chain piecing makes easy work of the sharp points in this classic blue-and-white icy-crystal delight.
Way Around [31]
Walk in the Woods [34]
Use blue, green, and brown prints to create dreamy star blocks. The natural colors give the impression that the stars are sparkling down through a forest canopy.
Marbled Elegance [37]
Skinny chains of light, medium, and dark blue squares run through a marbled, creamy field, mimicking the blue veins in the background print.
Bolts of Blue [40]
Mix your favorite blue prints in a scrappy wall hanging that will have you doing anything but singing the blues. Choosing prints with splashes of white keeps the strips in the tone-on-tone sashing from getting lost.
Vive la French Country [43]
On this inviting tablecloth, charming blue and yellow prints march around a border that looks like French tiles.
Classic Blue Heirloom Quilt [46]
Pairing gray with blue instead of white with blue puts a twist on the classic two-color combination.
Modern-Day Cowboy Throw [49]
Southwest colors like blues and reds bring the flavor of the Old West to a throw with a modern design.
Little Blue Triangle-Squares [52]
Make a table topper that's perfect for pairing with fine china. Sixty-four tiny triangle-squares make up the quilt center.
Jewel Box [55]
Jewel-tone blues, golds, and browns in subtle tone-on-tones create a rich wall hanging. Fussy-cutting striped fabric makes the Aster blocks pop.
Batik Strips Table Runner [58]
Frame a panel of batik strips with bright piping for the center of a quick and easy table runner.
Round the Stars [61]
Some color combos never go out of style. Create a two-color quilt that stands the test of time with classic blue and white prints.
Patchwork Pillow Pair [64]
Piece squares and rectangles into classic Pineapple and Log Cabin blocks to easily create a stunning sun-and-sky color duo.
Blue-and-White Pinwheels [67]
Add depth to a two-color quilt by using a variety of prints. Multiple blue and white prints in medium and light hues provide a subtle scrappiness.
Icy Blues [70]
Combine shades of blue, white, and gray to create a wintertime wall hanging that lasts well past the holiday season.
Blue Ocean Waves [73]
Serene aquas and cool blues rule in this tranquil wall hanging. Soft prints and large floral fabrics result in Ocean Waves blocks with less defined edges, adding to the relaxed feel of the piece.
Simple Stars Baby Quilt [76]
For a quick-to-make baby quilt, set off eight star blocks with blue print sashing strips.
Checkerboard Squares [79]
Square-in-a-square blocks set on point are surrounded by a striking blue toile to create a timeless, treasured quilt.
Floral and Paisley Chain Quilt [82]
Join blues and creams to form a quilt top with a chain design.
Crossways [85]
Create one-way movement by arranging Four-Patch units and setting squares in a diagonal Irish Chain pattern.
Batik Triangle Stars [88]
Different blue background prints make the four star blocks pop. Careful fabric placement creates the illusion that they're different.
Blossoms and Borders Wall Hanging [91]
Triangle-squares join in multiple borders to frame the appliquéd blossoms.
1930s Doll Quilt [94]
Triangle-squares rotate this way and that to create the overall diamond pattern. A variety of feed sack prints are held together visually by the use of a single solid blue fabric.
On the Fly [97]
Foundation-pieced dragonflies in 8-inch blocks flit this way and that across this vibrant quilt.

More speculation: Is Ishida going to become a bad guy in this arc? Anybody thinking this besides me?
I'm still a fan of Yachiru being Kenpachi's Zanpakutō.
Manga/Anime I read/have read/tried to read:
Fairy Tail
Full Metal Alchemist
D.Gray Man
HunterXHunter(Didn't like)
Dragon Ball(Didn't like)
One Piece(Didn't like)
Katakayo Hitman Reborn(Didn't like)
Vampire Knight
Samurai Champloo(Didn't like)
Water type
What chakra type are you?
I think the problem with Ishida is we have never really gotten to know him. Though Chad and Orihime haven't been characterized much either, but we have some backstory as to how they came to be as powerful/as passionate about saving their friends as Ichigo. Ishida contrastingly has had very little expansion of where he lies as a integrated cog to the plot. Often he plays fodder killer or ignored voice of reason in each arch, usually overcoming his unbeatable opponent only by forfeiting his own powers in a last resort attempt to win. Likewise, he typically returns with his powers "more impressive" and powerful, but only characterized of a new, larger bow. He has never been forefronted like the others have, and unfortunately, this may be where he becomes that face-changed character who plays both sides, or he becomes the undercover agent in one way or another.
Wow admire, that how are you going to do with this problem. I have already stopped there for a long time.
there have Wholesale Jerseys shop.
and get Cheap NHL Jerseys on sale .

Ichigo: he is too fast and powerful
Kyorakou: All he has to do is use his shikai and say white. The Quincy's wear all white, shouldnt that be an insta-kill for Kyorakou
Isshin: same powers as Ichigo
Aizen: has the H-Cube which makes him virtually unstoppable, save for Uruhara's intellect.
Uruhara: Ginuese. Created H-cube, stopped Aizen 2.0, kinda reversed hollowfication. He has to be a major power. Hell, he's about to figure out a way to stop Quincy's from stealing Bankai's, what would be more detremental to the Quincy's?
Ishida/Ryuken: They are both Quincy. They absolutely have to play an important part in this arc.
*Note: Kyorakou could be replaced on this list by someone from Squad Zero
Favorite Manga/Anime CharactersNaruto, Orochimaru, Jariya, Itachi, Ichigo, Mayuri, Kenpachi, Mugen, Vash the Stampede, "L", Edward Elric, Reborn, Rokudo Mukuro, Black Star, Dr. Fraken Stein, Death the Kid
All these "end of the world" situations and no sight of squad zero since they were introduced grrrr, very frustrating.
Id like to see all the Captains who have bankai left go nuts, seeing as a whole lot of SS is already dead now they don't need to worry about hurting anyone lol. Maybe this is why their Bankais were hidden this whole time, seeing as the regular captains spammed it all this time now its a chance for the other captains to show their stuff since they can't let the others take care of it anymore lol
A pie in the sky?
In personality, i put my hope on Kenpachi, hope he can do better...but it seems not a simple thing, the things get more and more interesting.
