Personalization looks
beyond the fundamentals
of general purpose lens
designs and gray lenses.
Today, delivering the right
eyewear to every patient
requires that your choices
be more advanced, activity-specific and age understanding when determining the lens design and
sun filtration that works
best. In this case, personalization is
key to one of the most important leisure
activities—golf. Introducing the Shamir
Golf progressive, a unique way to think
about the sport and the presbyope.
This goes well beyond our old, one-type-fits-all approach of tinting an old pair of
prescription lenses. The dawn of the Golf
Performance Sunglass has arrived, and
golfing numbers about 27 million people—nearly 10 percent of the domestic population. With a proven record to willingly
spend discretionary dollars in pursuit of just
a hint of improved performance, it's time
to take an in-depth examination of that
individual known as the American golfer.
A "core" golfer is defined as one who plays
an average of 37 full rounds a year and is
primarily male with a mean age of 40. That
says that a good majority is presbyopic.
Therefore, they are part of the Rx population that mostly owns only one pair of glasses, in this case, either a general purpose
progressive or a bifocal. For them, it's time
to consider a progressive designed especially
for the golfer.
Professionally educated with an average
income of $104,000, core golfers are
focused on any product that promises
improvement or enhancement of their
favorite pastime.
Core golfers are responsible for 87 percent of all rounds played and the same
amount in money spent on equipment.
With an average round lasting four hours,
core golfers can spend almost 150 hours
per year under the intense rays of the sun.
Addressing the negative effects this much
solar exposure can deliver has been the
primary reason eyecare professionals have
advised golfers to wear a proper sunglass.
But ensuring proper eye health alone is no
longer enough. First, there are significant numbers of golfing presbyopes, typically
struggling with their progressives or bifocals
resorting to single vision to get the blur out of
the putt. Single vision lenses can create discomfort and frustration when the right power
they're used to is not there. This gets worse as
add power increases. Next, the improper use
of sun tints, such as blue or very dark gray,
may actually impede their performance.
Research completed in 2008 by a major
athletic outfitter concluded that golf is the
most visually demanding of all sports. Common lens designs create problems; new
Shamir Golf meets the unique needs of the
golfer. Then, consider the visual, color metrics, glare and environmental challenges
faced by a golfer to best match filtration,
polarization and coatings.
Varying distances: The golfer's focus moves
from the ball to its destination; every stroke,
whether a drive or a putt, requires concentration. From teeing off on a 500-yard Par 5
hole, to the sinking of a 5-footer on the green,
very few sports require such critical visual
evaluations across distances that can vary by
a factor of up to 300 times. He or she calculates distances and terrain. The accuracy of
visual input is crucial to the hand-eye coordination needed for winning results.
Variable lighting conditions: As an outdoor
sports activity, the conditions that make up
the visual environment on the golf course
change constantly. During a four to five hour
round of golf, ambient lighting levels often
vary from bright and sunny to darkly overcast. Especially as low-level clouds move past
the bright sun, the golfer's eye has to contend
with a wide dynamic range of both illumination and shadow.
Varying backgrounds: The task of distinguishing and following a white 1.68-inch
ball against backgrounds that include light
sand, green grass, brown trees and overcast
to bright blue skies, poses challenges near the
limit of human visual sensitivity.
Varying ground contours and conditions: Local variations in the elevation, pitch, contour, grass height and wetness of the course
all must be properly factored and evaluated
to control the path of the ball.
Varying wind conditions: The amplitude and
direction of ambient wind influence all
aspects of ball control in a round of golf. It's
time for completely redesigned golf eyewear,
both in design and color.
There are six areas of concern and of prime
importance when prescribing and recommending the right golf lens. Three are visual;
the balance is environmental.
The visual demands placed on a golfer dictate the importance of lenses that are as
absolutely free of any distortion or power
errors as possible. Particularly with wrap
sunwear, it is the responsibility of you—the
eyecare professional—to deliver the right
vision, in all the right places with the least
blur. That ensures that as little as possible
visually gets in the way of peak performance.
After studying the eye movements of golfers, Shamir's development team identified
three vital areas of focus for golf: far (viewing
the distant green), midrange (looking down
at the ball on the tee, fairway or green) and
close (filling in the score card). Distance, mid-range and near aren't any different from the
vision that any other progressive supplies but
it's the way Shamir Golf does it that counts.
In this new design, the size of the lens zones
and the resulting management of the periphery have changed. Overall, distance is wider,
with midrange redesigned to be longer with a
stable plateau of power and near smaller.
In an everyday, general use progressive,
distance vision and near are typically maximized. The large near facilitates excellent
reading in all instances; a clear, wide distance
ensures good driving and mobility. As a
result, the midrange is narrower, usable for
on demand arm's length vision but for special
tasks, it is often too narrow. As the add
power increases it gets narrower. In fact,
many higher add wearers (adds greater than 2.00) complain of the narrow intermediate at
the computer or when using a tablet. In that
lies the opportunity for this new progressive.
These higher add wearers are a large part of
the golf demographic. For them, it means
that conventional progressive lenses don't
deliver the optical power needed for focusing
on the ball where it's needed most. First,
presbyopic golfers require clear vision at the
tee and when putting. This requires a change
to the way the intermediate or corridor is
constructed. From a need point of view, the
add doesn't have to be as large since the
reading demand is for a scorecard and menu
rather than sustained reading. Therefore the
near size can be sacrificed. Secondly, golfers
make more than average use of their peripheral field of vision as they focus on the ball,
look out sideways to where they want the ball
to go and back down at the ball. Then when
swinging, this rapid motion requires overall
peripheral clarity to easily track the ball. As a
result, when balancing the design attributes
of a progressive, if additional clarity is
required for the periphery, the designer must
consider that when thinking of the final size
of the viewing zones required, especially the
near and corridor design.
Distance vision is critical to the golfer. General use progressives narrow the distance
field, especially as add power increases. It's a
method used by designers to improve overall
lens clarity by allowing a small amount of
peripheral blur above the 180. Haven't you
had patients complain about the peripheral
clarity of the distance when they look straight
ahead but turn their head? Our answer has
always been "point your nose." However,
narrowing any of the field of view can be
problematic since the game of golf involves so
many distances in specific postures. As a
result, having the distance be as wide as possible facilitates dynamic eye movement for the
golfer. The distance power of Shamir Golf has been optimized using free-form techniques and the "funnel" has been widened, i.e., peripheral blur is reduced in magnitude
while the location is pushed down. The result
is a wider, clearer distance. This is especially
true along the 180 where a golfer's sight crosses when viewing the flag and when following
the ball from the tee. The reduction in blur
perceived by the golfer is a result of slowing
the rate of change of unwanted astigmatism
and locating it farther down the lens. It
should be noted that this can't occur in isolation. Distance redesign must be accompanied
by a redesign of the intermediate and near.
Redesigning the corridor and near zone is the
key, then using the prescription, continue with
optimization of the near periphery. The pres-byopic golfer requires clear vision of the ball
at the tee and while putting. That's about 5
feet away, not the usual intermediate distance.
Only a small near is required for scorecard
visibility. Ordinary progressive lenses don't
provide golfers with the extra help needed for
the intermediate and peripheral viewing. The
too large near adds peripheral blur just when
focus and concentration are most important;
the lenses let the golfer down.
Shamir Golf has an intermediate with a slower rate of power change in the initial corridor,
the power held stable for a part of the corridor
ending in a small near. In this way, the rest of
the design can be balanced
to provide increased clarity
across the distance horizon
especially the periphery
along and just below the
180 line. In cross-section,
Fig. 1 shows how the
power is moderated to better suit the golfer's vision
demands. It's easy to see
how a regular progressive
quickly becomes unusable
for the golfer, delivering
too much midrange power
too soon.
At the same time, your lab creates the prescription centrally as a golf lens; the periphery is redesigned for the Rx and the frame
chosen using Shamir Prescriptor software.
By customizing the lens' power edge to edge,
using the actual vertex, tilt and wrap or optimizing it with the factory default values,
overall lens clarity is improved. Golf optimizes vision and provides a more comfortable golfing experience by ensuring sharp
viewing in all three critical focal areas—the
far distant green, the ball at the player's feet
and the scorecard, as well as enhanced
peripheral vision.
The compensated power for the prescription ordered is evidence that the lens has
been redesigned for the frame worn. In addition, the design of the lens periphery has also
been compensated to provide better vision,
reducing swim and blur. This can ensure a
golfer's eye maintains optimal depth perception and contrast sensitivity because even
minor prescription corrections can influence
whether a challenging hole ends up scored
with a birdie, par or bogey. Even when a
patient declares, "I see just fine without
glasses," an ECP should take the time to
demonstrate how minor prescriptions can
significantly improve their vision especially
while wearing sunglasses.
Variable light levels, varying focal distances
requiring central peripheral clarity for instant
cues, contrast levels and topographical considerations dictate that maximizing depth
perception, enhancing contrast and reducing
haze are the remaining three visual challenges
in golf. They are:
Depth perception: To facilitate tracking a
golf ball against varying backgrounds and
ground contours, maintaining a good depth
of field is essential. Therefore dark lenses,
with low transmittance levels, are not conducive to maintaining good depth perception.
Most performance lenses designed for golf
feature transmittance levels approximately 15
percent to 20 percent greater than typical
general purpose sunglasses. Higher transmittance ensures a smaller pupil for increased
depth of field. See the recommended transmittance and colors in the online version of
this course.
Contrast enhancement: Improving the eye's
ability to see and track a golf ball against varying backgrounds and light levels requires
enhancing the edge of the ball. To help make
a golf ball more distinct and easier to follow,
changing the eye's habitual color response is necessary. In our vision, everything we see is
compared against our experience, i.e., what
we already know or are familiar with. The
color response changes are accomplished
through modification of the eye's tristimulus
curve, or firing profile of the conical color
receptors, is called chromatic contrast. The
altered tristimulus response curve improves
the eye's ability to distinguish and discriminate colors, as well as object edges, by alerting
our eye and vision that "something's been
changed." For the optician, it means using
some colors that are outside your comfort
level. It should come as no surprise then, to
discover that gray—the most recommended
general purpose sunglass color—is NOT
favored for golf, precisely because it is fundamentally a neutral filter, and therefore will not
affect a change in chromatic contrast. Where
increased visibility or edge enhancement of an
object is the goal, a changeup in chromatic
contrast helps follow the ball better, and is
described by sunglass engineers as "ball pop."
Blue light filtering: With the long expanses of
grass found on a typical course, overcoming
the haze created from evaporation requires
suppressing blue, the color most scattered by
the evaporating water vapor hanging in the
air. For this reason, a performance golf lens
will include colors such as amber, brown,
purple and green, to suppress the blue spectrum (Shamir Golf is available in brown and
green). Reducing blue light scatter is also
advantageous when tracking a ball against the
sky. In addition, the damage from the accu
mulation of high energy visible
(blue light) has been linked to
macular degeneration.
Polarized lenses? Visual evaluation of these factors is enhanced
through discrimination of the
difference in the amount of light
reflected by individual grass
blades. Therefore a substantial
reason why most performance
golf sunglasses don't feature
polarization is that these reflections from the blades are important in discerning the grain and contour of a
green. The golfer's eye may use both grass
blade reflection and deflection to assess
ground contour as well as wind direction.
The size, angle, wetness and sway of a blade
of grass are visually enhanced, by allowing
its full reflectivity. With polarized lenses so
well-accepted and proven superior for glare
reduction effectively sent to the bench in
competitive golf, how can we design a lens to
otherwise reduce glare and prevent eye
fatigue on the course?
Because most golf course real estate is grass, you might think that a sunglass that emphasizes green above all other colors should prove superior for golf. But shifting our tristimulus curve with too much green may actually impede discriminating ground contours.
Therefore golf specific tints are simultaneously designed to: As we said, shifting the tristimulus curve with too much green may actually impede discriminating ground contours. Therefore golf specific tints are simultaneously designed to: Filter short visible blue light, which reduces haze, allow some long-wavelength blue light, which improves ball color (blue white) visibility. They typically allow just enough green to enhance visibility of ground contours. Transmission curves can be seen to suppress peak yellow wavelengths to reduce dazzle the eye and contributes to eye fatigue. Lastly, these lenses allow more red wavelengths, which helps the eye to distinguish the tones of green and grassy contours.
Indeed, a lens featuring a very saturated green color might highlight grass as a whole, but the cues a golfer seeks are actually much more subtle. When a golfer "reads" a green, they're trying to subconsciously process all the factors that will combine to influence both ball speed and trajectory during a put: A green lens might highlight grass as a whole, but hide the cues a golfer seeks since they are actually much more subtle. When a golfer "reads" a green, they're trying to subconsciously process all the factors that will combine to influence both ball speed and trajectory during a put i.e., slope, grass length, moisture Level (in and on the grass), base (firmness of green), wind and grain, blades facing the same direction (Source: The PGA Professional).
Sunglass engineers can approach this through different strategies. Some try suppressing yellow, the color to which our eyes are most sensitive. Others favor blocking more of the blue wavelengths, which our eyes have the most trouble focusing. Each approach has its own merit. But even as one company's golf recipe will often yield a different color profile from their competitors, all types are designed to enhance the visual performance of the golfer.
Brown or deep rose (sunny days), orange/amber (low light) and purple/lavender in photochromics (handles the varying light intensity during 18 holes) are colors specially suited to golf. Review the transmission curves of the variety of lenses available. Golf's variable lighting conditions favor lenses, which employ the convenience of photochromic properties.
Frames featuring interchangeable lenses of varying densities may appeal or prove better suited to particular players. Another approach has been using a flip-up style sunglass. However, golf research has shown that the all-or-nothing nature of flip-up suns may actually compound visual fatigue.
Consistent with avoiding abrupt changes to the golfer's eye, gradient-density lenses have proven to be less desirable. A player's dynamic eye and head motions may interact with the lens's gradient density area, and can result in decreased performance on the course.
See Graph 2 as an example of a transmission curve and its color properties as a golf lens. Polarized Lenses? - Visual evaluation of these factors is enhanced through discrimination of the difference in the amount of light reflected by individual grass blades. So a substantial reason why most performance golf sunglasses don't feature polarization is that these reflections from the blades are important on discerning the grain and contour of a green. The golfer's eye may use both grass blade reflection and deflection to assess ground contour as well as wind direction. The size, angle, wetness and sway of a blade of grass are visually enhanced, by allowing its full reflectivity. With polarized lenses, so well accepted and proven superior for superior glare reduction effectively sent to the bench in competitive golf, how can we design a lens to otherwise reduce glare and prevent eye fatigue on the course?
Golf performance also depends on the engineering of the frame. These characteristics
have been found to be essential in a frame
specifically designed for golf:
Lightweight: A core golfer spends an average
of four to five hours on the course during a
typical round; comfort is a major issue. Not
only should the frame be lightweight, it
should fit snugly, stay in place and resist
slippage, even in hot and humid weather.
The best models feature rubberized nose-pieces and temple grips. Stability is also
ultra-important, as players do not want their
eyewear to distract them from their game.
Choose heat resistant materials. Composite
plastics and titanium-nickel metals are
favored for their ability to retain their original
shape and to resist heat absorption.
Wraparound construction: Since golfing
depends so much on peripheral vision, non-distorting lenses that fully wrap around the
eyes are important to block glare and deliver
a wide, unobstructed field of view. Most
purpose-built golf frames feature 8 D to 9 D
base lenses in a semi-rimless construction.
When addressing the ball, the frame's rim
shouldn't distract a golfer's eye or influence
their head position. Ideally, frames should
also place the lenses close to the face—but
not too close—in order to facilitate air circulation and prevent the appearance of a
bogey-making fog.
Deep lenses for looking down: When looking downward, nothing should distract or
require a golfer to modify or depart from
their favored head, neck and shoulder posture. Avoid any style with lower lens edges
that lay at or near the gaze angle. Advanced
golf styles can address this problem by
employing adjustable temples and bridges, to
help tailor fit an uneven head or optimize the
pantoscopic tilt of the lenses.
Consumer choice in sunglasses reveals a
picture often centered most on cost and style,
sometimes UV protection or "disposability"—in other words, every factor except
task-specific or high performance considerations. For the golfer, this is a mistake. They
spend significant time vetting both equipment and technique to extract every ounce
of advantage for their game. Help the presbyopic golfer choose sunglasses in the same
way that they select the best driver or iron.
Consider the right equipment for the job;
choose a separate pair specifically for golf—new and unique Shamir Golf progressive.

At its regular May town council meeting, the Emery Town council discussed numerous issues of interest to the residents of Emery. The recreation center project is underway. The footers are going in and the cement work is scheduled to begin next week. Mayor Michael Williams expressed his relief to be moving ahead with the center. "We have had some disagreements with the building inspector, and those are now behind us and we are moving ahead with this project," said Mayor Williams.
Glenys Sitterud, coordinator of the ATV training park project, reported she has visited the site and tentative plans are secured. She has spoken to Jim Fauver of Castle Valley Outdoors, and he assured her that he has suitable material in the way of sand and gravel, that can be used for the track. "This is an all volunteer effort and we are still several months away," said Sitterud. "There will be rules posted and the track will be used for training purposes."
Councilman Patrick Sundstrom gave the fire department report. "The new pagers are coming, along with the new jackets. There is also a possibility that we will be receiving a new fire truck from the county," said Sundstrom. He requested the fireworks budget for the July 24 celebration. The council approved $2,200, the same amount as last year. He then announced that summer fire school is coming soon.
Councilman Eric Anderson stated that the special service district has assured him the work will be started on the bypass soon, for the water storage tank. This bypass is needed to divert water into the town's system while cleaning work is completed on the tank.
Councilperson Corinne Dalton said the planning and zoning commission has approved two building projects for Emery residents. Both are storage type buildings. She also stated that Marie Anderson was installed as secretary for the commission. They are working on a recreational vehicle ordinance, and have completed the formal complaint form to be used in the future. At the present time, the planning and zoning commission is seeking resolution of three complaints dealing with the placement of a structure and numbers of animals on private properties.
Mayor Williams requested permission to install signs on 200 West in an attempt to eliminate coal truck traffic on that street. He stated that many of the coal trucks are using 200 West as a short cut to the mine, and it is causing a problem. The council approved the installation of the signs. He was also instructed to pursue a meeting with representatives from the trucking companies to discuss the problems that are arising.
Suzi Praast suggested restarting the beautification committee in town, and she asked for volunteers.

Rated 1 out of 5Â by Trinalyn Worthless product I've ordered this product from Vermont Country Store before and they're great. I gave them away as gifts. So I ordered a pair for myself but what was delivered is useless. They must have switched suppliers. I will have to pitch the pans I bought. The scraper bar is too loose so cake gets under the bar and gets trapped between the bar and the pan. There's no way to clean it! So it gets moldy. I'm horribly disappointed. January 18, 2017
Rated 5 out of 5Â by jerky like my mothers I bought these cake pans because my mother had them and when she passed away I got them ,the only thing the bars were gone but I would plug the hole with wax paper and use them anyway I am 80 years old and I think I should replace them . It was so nice to see them on your web site October 3, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Beautiful26 Hard to find cake pans, just like Mom's I looked at several different stores for these cake pans, but alas could not find them.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Tommy Armstrong Jr. dropped five steps into the end zone, locked onto receiver Quincy Enunwa and heaved the ball as far as he could.
The pass traveled 50 yards in the air - and then Enunwa ran 50 more.
The result was the longest play in Nebraska and Gator Bowl history.
Armstrong and Enunwa hooked for a 99-yard touchdown strike that propelled Nebraska to a 24-19 win over No. 23 Georgia in the rain-soaked Gator Bowl on Wednesday.
''I know one thing: There will never be a longer play in the history of college football than that one,'' Cornhuskers coach Bo Pelini said. ''That was a big play for us.''
Equally big were Georgia's failures down the stretch. The Bulldogs (8-5) dropped two fourth-down passes in the closing minutes, helping Nebraska (9-4) close out its first bowl victory since 2009.
Nebraska also ended a four-game losing streak against teams from the Southeastern Conference. The streak included a 45-31 loss to Georgia in the Capital One Bowl last season.
The rematch was much different.
Nebraska did a solid job against running back Todd Gurley, who ran for 125 yards and a touchdown last year. Gurley finished with 86 yards on the ground.
Gurley was more effective in the passing game, catching seven passes for 97 yards. His 25-yard scoring reception to open the fourth quarter cut Nebraska's lead to 24-19.
The Bulldogs had two really good chances to take the lead, but Rantavious Wooten and Arthur Lynch dropped fourth-down passes in the red zone.
''I think I turned my head at the last second and was thinking end zone,'' Lynch said. ''It's one of those situations. It's not so much I dropped the pass. It's that I let my team down. At the end of the day, it's one of those things that you can never forget, brush off your shoulders.
''It's a win or a loss, and we lost. But I will never able to forget this one. If I run that play 49 more times, I make the catch.''
The drops capped Georgia's offensive woes. The Bulldogs moved inside the 21 seven times, but settled for four field goals.
The final two scoreless possessions were costly.
Wooten dropped a fourth-and-2 pass around the 10 with 4:42 remaining. Georgia got the ball back with 3:18 to play and marched toward the end zone. But Lynch couldn't haul in a fourth-and-3 pass that would have moved the chains with about 25 seconds remaining.
''That (stinks),'' Gurley said. ''To go all the way down there like that and on fourth down you just give it to them, that's a bad feeling right there.''
Nebraska ran out the clock from there and then celebrated wildly all over the field.
Enunwa was named the game's Most Valuable Player - and for good reason.
He finished with four receptions for 129 yards and two touchdowns, the biggest being the longest.
After a timeout to discuss options on a third-and-14 play from inside the 1-yard line, Nebraska opted to take a shot deep instead of run the ball and punt.
Inexplicably, Georgia cornerback Shaq Wiggins let Enunwa run free down the sideline and got no safety help. Quincy Mauger had a chance to tackle Enunwa as he caught the ball, but the safety bounced off him just past midfield.
Enunwa coasted the rest of the way.
''It was kind of just one of those calls where you don't have too many options out there, stuck on your own 1-yard line,'' Enunwa said. ''Luckily our coaches trust in us as playmakers.''
Enunwa also had a 5-yard TD reception in the second quarter. The second TD grab was his 12th of the season, breaking the school record of 11 set by Johnny Rodgers in 1971.
Armstrong, filling in for injured starter Taylor Martinez, completed 6 of 14 passes for 163 yards, with two touchdowns and an interception.
Ameer Abdullah ran 27 times for 122 yards and a score. It was his 11th 100-yard game of the season.
Turnovers - along with those dropped passes - were the difference.
Reggie Davis muffed a punt deep in Georgia territory in the second quarter and Nebraska scored two plays later. The Huskers also turned Hutson Mason's lone interception into a touchdown.
Some of those mistakes could be blamed on the sloppy conditions.
Not the 99-yard game-changer, though.
''It's not an exciting thing to see,'' Georgia coach Mark Richt said. ''It's not something I'm happy about, obviously. ... We had a really excellent chance of finishing the game on a high note. It just didn't happen.''

Help This Girl Win Justin Bieber's 'Girlfriend Sing-Off' Contest or You'll Be Sorry
The short of it is that Justin Bieber is promoting his new fragrance "Girlfriend" by asking all his lady fans (of which, I'm told, there is quite a clowder) to submit a "Girlfriend" version of his latest single, "Boyfriend." He will then pick his faves and the winning entries will air during his upcoming NBC special.
The even shorter of it is that this girl has already won the contest whether Bieber recognizes it or not.
Something tells me this wide-eyed young lass's interpretation of his swaggie schmaltz is not exactly what Bieber had in mind, but something else tells me she isn't a big fan of taking no for an answer.

SLCL's Westfall Series Presents "Morning Joe" Host Joe Scarborough
Fri, 09/27/2013 (All day)
The St. Louis County Library Foundation's 'Buzz' Westfall Favorite Author Series presents the finale event of 10
Anniversary season featuring MSNBC "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough for a discussion of his new book "The Right Path: From Ike to Reagan, How Republicans Once Mastered Politics-and Can Again."
The event will take place at Library Headquarters (1640 S. Lindbergh Blvd.) on Friday, November 15 at 7:00 p.m.
Ticket packages are $35 (admits ONE and includes one copy of "The Right Path") or $45 (admits TWO and includes one copy of "The Right Path"). Tickets can be purchased through
or at St. Louis County Library Headquarters starting at 9:00 am on Tuesday, October 1.
The format of the evening will be a presentation by Mr. Scarborough followed by questions from the audience and a book signing. Additional books will be available for purchase from Barnes & Noble.
In "The Right Path," Joe Scarborough looks back in time to discern how Republicans once dominated American public life. From Eisenhower's refusal to let "the perfect be the enemy of the good" to Reagan's charismatic but resolutely practical genius, Scarborough shows how principled pragmatism, combined with a commitment to core conservative values, led to victory after victory.
Now, however, a once-mighty party could become a permanent minority. Opening with the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965--the high-water moment for liberalism--and ending with the national disillusionment that set in after Hurricane Katrina, "The Right Path" effortlessly blends American political history with astute analysis and no-holds-barred commentary. Both a bracing call to arms and a commonsense history, "The Right Path" provides an illuminating look at conservatism and its discontents--and why the GOP must regain its former tone and tradition if it hopes to survive.
Joe Scarborough is currently the host of MSNBC's "Morning Joe." He was elected to Congress in 1994, becoming the first Republican to represent northwest Florida since 1873. In 2001, he retired from Congress and, in 2003, became an NBC political commentator and host. He is also the author of "Rome Wasn't Burnt in a Day."
The event is presented by Maryville University.
The program with Joe Scarborough is a St. Louis County Library 'Buzz' Westfall Favorite Author Series presentation. Celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2013, the Westfall series features authors of politics, history, and sports. The series is co-sponsored by Jack Dubinsky and Sons; McMahon Berger; Sachs Properties; Brown Smith Wallace LLC; Royal Banks of Missouri; St. Louis Business Journal; Midwest Library Service; The Booksource; Ivey-Selkirk Auctioneers; S.M. Wilson & Co.; and Stifel, Nicolaus.

Any ideas of what might be in the little blackbook that Kabuto gave group Naruto a few chapters back?
And please no one just stay something like "information on akatsuki" because thats been said by Kabuto already.
Any ideas of what might be in the little blackbook that Kabuto gave group Naruto a few chapters back?
And please no one just stay something like "information on akatsuki" because thats been said by Kabuto already.
It's probably has each Akatsuki member's abilities, age, what ring, which Jinchuuriki to collect, element type, etc. I don't think Kabuto would give Naruto's group useless information like hobbies, personality (might be useful), hair style, health, etc.
Nekkid pictures of course.
But seriously, what Babii said. And what village they are from too, perhaps.
i think detailed info, or what oro knew about the members in akatsuki. i dont think oro was following up or gathering more info on them cause even oro knew not to f with them. Also remember they dont just show each other skills like that... and they almost never meet just from time to time
although i few have died recently I wanna say.. it took the life of asuma to get a bit of insight on hidan's skill and it was a 4 man cell ready to die. then back up came and the only reason they all dint die was cause pein called them away. then it took another 4 man cell, with kakashi on it to fight and be beaten if not for them separating them. once separated hidan got overconfident and lost to a nicely set booby trap, but kakuzu was about to kill kakashi when ANOTHER 4 man cell arrived. Jesus.... THEN naruto wanted to kill him and almost get owned if not for kakashi and yamato and finally with the manga's strongest justsu kakuzu got killed.
Deidara fought to a stalemate with sasuke and just selfdestruct cause he was so pissed at the uchiha art, he was crazy like that.. if he would have let tobi take care of the half dead sasuke.. that would had been it.
we all know sasori's story.. only cause he had a more experienced puppetier and didnt know that his ultimate weapon, the uncurable poison, were beaten from the start he was caught offguard. even so at the end he just let chiyo killed him.
All in all.. yes they have died a bit but by no means are they being owned.. oh and to finish lol they set up a 8 man cell just to go against itachi.. although they know they work in team.. but 8!!
I think it only contains a very secret plan that only the female akatsuki, Pein and shadow guy know.
Why would Oro get ahold of that then? <.<' Can't imagine that Oro got to know such a thing while none of the others did.
I think it may contain some sort of usefull info that Naruto will need in order to fight Pein ??
actually now that u mention it... pein most likely scouts them out and when he send someone to enlist them.. he informs them of there abilities.. like when sasori, itachi and kisame went to get deidara.. plus kisame refered to hidan and kakuzu as "zombie twins"... hhmm.. i guess u are right but i guess there insight on each others abilities is very limited since they never follow up on each other cause it takes them like 5 years to meet and this if they meet.. like the last time they met was when oro left.. and that was like 7 or 10 yeqars.. dont remember right now.. in recent meeting for sealing bijuu's they just do it and leave.

The V & M Hula Bug combines the prominent features of several proven baits to create a deadly presentation all its own. Its beaver-style body provides easy rigging and a beefy but streamlined profile perfect for penetrating cover. It also features the tail tentacles of a tube, as well as, small craw-like appendages for additional fish attracting action. Available in several colors, throw the V & M Hula Bug out there and hold on.

Customer Reviews
Comments: These are great punch baits. Gives them a little different look with the tube tail. But don't use them because then I won't be the only one pitching and punching through the grass mats. Give them a shot, you just might like them.
From: Will: Long Beach CA USA
Comments: These look exactly like something Bass Pro sells under their own label. I have used their version and had good results. This cross between a beaver and tube tail has good stability (reduces line twist)which allows it to glide along as you hop it. I throw it on a 4/0 Trokar swimbait hook with 1/8oz. bullet. It gives them something a little different to check over.

cute and comfy but slightly big
"I got these sneakers to replace my old pair of Puma sneakers similar to the design. Compared to the old sneakers, these ones look cute and are quite comfortable.They have some traction to grip on the floor, but it did get tricky to stay grounded longer if you plan to do an exercise similar to push ups (the upper soles tend to slip at times). However, size 6 was the only smallest size available on DSW. As someone who is constantly wearing both size 5.5 and 6, these sneakers felt slightly loose on my heel. Thicker socks might work to make them more fitted, but it's important to keep in mind that the listed sizes might be bigger than expected."

cute but not comfy
"When I got these shoes they were so much cuter than I expected but when I tried them on around the house they were rubbing the sides of my feet. I like the high arch but I think if I wore them any longer they might cause blisters."

Super Cute & Comfy
"Always been a fan of Puma sneakers because of their comfort, and these shoes didn't disappoint. Love how they feel and love the colors! I did have to get a half size bigger than my normal shoe size to get a perfect fit, so keep that in mind if ordering!!"

Canada scores huge upset against medal favourites from Serbia at volleyball worldsBy Ted Graham in Trieste
TRIESTE, Italy - Ranked 20th in the world, Canada's men's volleyball team sent shockwaves through their pool tonight by upsetting heavily favoured Serbia (ranked #4 in the world) in a decisive 3-1 victory (25-20, 25-22, 17-25, 25-23) here at the World Championships in Italy.
The win gives Canada a 1-1 record, tying them for second with the Serbians in pool F. They can guarantee themselves a berth in the second round if they can knock off Germany (0-2) in their last pool play match against Germany tomorrow night. Poland leads the four teams in Pool F with a 2-0 record after defeating Germany 25-20, 21-25, 25-22, 22-25, 15-13.
Canada started strong against Serbia after a straight set loss in their previous match against Poland. Up two sets to zero after 53 minutes of play, the Canadians looked formidable against the nation that won gold at the 2000 Sydney Olympics plus bronze and silver at World League Championships in 2009 and 2010.
Team captain and middle hitter Louis-Pierre Mainville set the tone early, scoring the first three Canadian points in the match with two kills and one block. Having established that threat in the middle, setter Dustin Schneider was able to distribute the ball across all attackers and even managed to score himself, by stuffing the ball over on what appeared to be a Canadian overbump destined to become a free ball for Serbia.
"Middle didn't work well for us last night, but tonight was the opposite," said Mainville, a Montreal-area native. "We scored points early, which helped the outside hitters get one-on-one opportunities and put the ball away." In the third set, Canada hit bump after a dip in confidence and a resurgent Serbian squad capitalized, taking a 10 point lead thanks to some veteran shot-making from Ivan Miljkovic.
"For a young team, this is a great result for us," said head coach Glenn Hoag. "This will help the program move on from here no matter how we finish."
Coach Hoag played all 12 available players including one of the younger members of the senior national team, 22-year old middle hitter Justin Duff, who contributed seven points in only two sets on the floor including a massive spike down the middle to win the match.
"I knew when I came in there wouldn't be time to be nervous," said Duff, who watched the previous night's match from the stands because of 12 man roster limitations dictating how many players can be dressed for each match. "I was just hoping that they didn't have too much game tape on me and that I could contribute."
Said Serbia's team captain and setter Grbic Nikola, "Canada earned that victory. They were exceptional passers and we had no answers for them."
The team will have little downtime before their next test at 11am EST on Monday, when they will need to focus on keeping their level of play high throughout the last match; in the likely event of a tie between two teams, the decision system is reliant on total points scored throughout pool play.
"We need to celebrate this win, but we also need to focus on the next game," added Mainville. "We need to have a good plan, but come to the game calm and ready to play like we did today."
The match attracted a record crowd of 5,766 at the Palatrieste.

I want to say that when you paint Easter eggs in a bag that it's mess free and for many kids it would be but my little girl loves to get her hands dirty and insisted on reaching in and grabbing the painted eggs herself. Who am I to say no to that? That said, if a fear of a mess is something that stops you from getting artsy with your kids or if they are not interested in getting their hands covered in paint this Easter color mixing activity can be done without any mess . The Easter eggs we are using are artificial and coated with paper so they paint and dye just like real eggs but can be kept year after year.
Gather your materials. You will need some paper or wood craft eggs, liquid paint, gallon ziplock style bags, and something to rest the wet eggs on to dry. You may also want a piece of painter's tape to hold the bag in place while pouring paint into it.
Start by rolling the edges of a bag down and taping the bottom to the table to keep it all stable.
Pour the paint in. My daughter did every color the first time and was super excited about it!
Pop the eggs in. It's more fun if you pop two in at a time, especially if you shake it because they clang together. If you are doing this with real eggs only do one at a time or you will have shell everywhere. I imagined she'd shake the bag but she liked squishing it more. Which is fine, don't get hung up on the little details like this.
She reached in to grab the eggs but you can carefully dump the egg onto the carton for drying without ever touching it, which is what I did with the next four eggs. No need for little hands to get covered in paint unless everyone is cool with it!
After the initial every color exploration we decided to make some colors. The first combination was the classic yellow and blue! Next up all the "girl colors" it doesn't seem to matter how often I say colors don't have genders, my daughter is think in the stage of classifying things by gender. I know that this is a stage and helps kids make sense of things but I would be lying if I didn't say I am looking forward to the next phase. Please tell me I am not the only one?! You can use the same bag or grab a new one. If you want to reuse the best way to wash them out is to fill with water pour out, turn inside out and give a quick wipe. Let dry .

By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
During the Southeastern Regional Advisory Council meeting on Oct. 28, proposed changes were announced for the 2004 hunting season concerning mule deer and elk. The meeting was held in the John Wesley Powell Museum in Green River.
Utah Division of Wildlife Resources representatives were on hand to make the presentation to the RAC and answer any questions that the public or RAC boardmembers might have. Jim Karpowitz, Big Game Program Coordinator, informed the RAC of the mule deer management plan revisions.
"This five year drought that we are in is the single biggest cause of the decline in deer numbers. This new plan demonstrates a big change in direction," said Karpowitz. "This new plan is a total rewrite of the old plan with several revisions."
There are three goals in the new management plan. The first is population, the second habitat and the third is recreation. Each of the goals includes two objectives with strategies that will enable the goals to be met annually during the course of the five year management plan.
The population management goal is to expand and improve mule deer populations throughout the state within habitat capabilities and in consideration of other lands. Objective number one is that by 2008, to have increased the statewide deer populations by 40,000 deer to a post-season herd size of 320,000. This objective will be met if the state returns to normal precipitation patterns and by implementing the new plan. If precipitation does not return to normal and habitat objectives are not met, it is unlikely the herd will expand beyond the current level of 280,000 deer. Some of the 12 strategies to meet this objective include managing the predators, supporting efforts to reduce highway mortality and managing disease outbreaks.
Objective number two is that by 2008, buck:doe ratios will be achieved according to a three year average at the following levels. For general season public land units, the ratio will be 15-20 bucks per 100 does. For the general season private land units, the ratio will be a minimum of 15 bucks to 100 does. In the limited entry units, the ratio is 25-35 bucks per 100 does and in the premium limited entry units, that ratio is a minimum of 35 bucks for every 100 does. There are six strategies involved in meeting this objective. One of the strategies is to support law enforcement efforts to reduce illegal harvest of bucks.
Conserving and improving mule deer habitat throughout the state with emphasis on critical mule deer ranges is the goal for the habitat section of the plan. The first objective for this goal is to maintain mule deer habitat through the state by protecting existing critical habitats and mitigating for the losses due to human impacts. Acquisition of additional habitat is a key strategy to offset its loss to human encroachment.
The second objective is to improve the quality of forage and vegetation for mule deer on 100,000 acres of critical range. At the present time in the southeast region, the DWR is reseeding two 100 acres parcels of land in Carbon County. These habitat objectives will require close coordination and work between all the involved agencies, including the forest service and the BLM.
The third area of concern in the plan is recreation. The goal is to provide a diversity of high quality hunting and viewing opportunities for mule deer throughout the state. Maintaining a hunting program for mule deer that encourages a variety of quality hunting opportunities while maintaining population objectives is the first objective in the recreation area. The DWR will implement strategies to obtain this objective while continuing to provide three hunts (general season, limited entry and premium limited entry) without negatively effecting deer population objectives.
Objective number two in the recreation area is to increase opportunities for viewing mule deer while educating the public concerning the needs of deer and the importance of habitat. Installing interpretive signs, producing written guides and promoting public tours are a few of the strategies to achieve this objective.
"The DWR will meet these goals every year for the next five years. We will evaluate every year and make the changes necessary to meet the objectives of this plan," said Karpowitz. The southeastern RAC approved the action to accept and support this new management plan.
