Denali National Park, AK, offers jaw-dropping mountain vistas, wildlife—and elbow room. Oh, and temperatures average about 66 during the day and 44 at night!
Beautiful Horseshoe Lake, in Denali, is just one of the beautiful sights in Alaska's big, inviting—and extremely cool!—national park.
Enjoy easy hikes—or get more adventurous on backcountry trails—in Denali. The crisp mountain air will remind you of spring all summer long!
San Francisco is perfectly positioned between the chilly Pacific Ocean and the immense San Francisco Bay, guaranteeing year-round moderate temperatures. In summer, ocean breezes and the city's famous fog deliver daytime temps around 67 and lows around 54.
Don't let photos like this iconic sunny shot of San Francisco's Alamo Square fool you: Summertime visitors to the City by the Bay are always pleasantly surprised at how many layers the cool temps require.
Being surrounded by cold water on three sides has other perks besides cool weather: SF has gorgeous views just about anywhere you look.
For a lush, forest vacation, Olympic National Park, WA, delivers not only lovely surroundings and a relaxed pace, but it's also one of the chilliest spots in America in summer: Temperatures hover around 67 during the day and plummet to 51 at night.
Hurricane Ridge, in Olympic National Park, is one of the park's many dramatic sights. But you won't experience hurricanes here on summer vacation—just cool temps and a chance of rain.
We love Nova Scotia for so many reasons—the seafood, the friendly locals, and the summertime temperatures (highs around 71, lows around 55).
Nova Scotia is home to charming fishing villages and inviting beaches. The water up here is refreshingly chilly even on the warmest days.
Hungry? Nova Scotia's seafood is renowned—and what's beautifully presented on your plate in the evening was probably hauled out of the cold waters of the North Atlantic that morning!
Hiking to a lovely waterfall may sound like a sweaty endeavour. But in Yellowstone National Park (in Wyoming and Montana), daytime summer temps average about 72—and in the evenings that mountain air drops to a snuggle-inspiring 42!
With high elevations and plenty of mountain lakes and rivers, Wyoming is one of the coldest states in America. In summer, Yellowstone offers an endless variety of terrain to explore on ranger-guided tours or at your own pace.
Just because Yellowstone is famous for its hot springs doesn't mean the place is uncomfortable in summer. Do check out the springs, though, for a one-of-a-kind experience.
Michigan's Upper Peninsula is a heartland getaway that quickly transports you out of the everyday urban and suburban life and into deep, refreshing woods. Daytime highs may be around 75, and at night the firepit will call your name when temps go down to around 54.
The Upper Peninsula is the kind of vacation spot that draws families who return summer after summer for the lakes, forests, and heatwave-beating chill.
Seattle is one of the chilliest cities in America this time of year! Enjoy exploring this coastal metropolis in comfy highs of around 75, and pack a jacket for the evenings, when temps go down to around 56.
Some people love Seattle's cool maritime vibe so much, they live on the water in these charming houseboats.
Sparkling nighttime views of Seattle are even more memorable than the city's comfy summertime "sleeping weather."
The Pacific Ocean stays chilly all year long—that makes California beach towns like Santa Cruz absolutely heaven in summer. Enjoy the city's Beach Boardwalk on a sunny day and the temperatures will stay around 75, with evening temps going down to around 54 as the lovely fog rolls in.
Santa Cruz's beaches offer prime spots for getting out on the water in a kayak to explore the Monterey Bay and Pacific Ocean.
Temperatures may be cool, but your blood pressure may rise alarmingly on one of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk's many thrill rides.
Acadia National Park, ME, is a beautiful meeting of mountains and sea, and its northern locale guarantees a comfortable summer: Highs around 79, lows around 59.
Acadia offers families the chance to hike mountain trails and drop down on lovely Atlantic beaches.
The Atlantic Ocean may be a bit warmer than the Pacific, thanks to the Gulf Stream, but way up here in Maine, cliffside vacationers will find the air very invigorating.
Celebrate America's great presidents, enjoy dramatic mountain views, and beat the summer heat at the same time? Point us in the direction of Mount Rushmore, SD, where daytime temperatures average about 79 and nights drop to a comfy 59.

Back Country Horsemen improve Huntington Canyon trails.
Non-motorized trails in Huntington Canyon received much needed maintenance this summer. The San Rafael Backcountry Horsemen obtained a grant from the Manti-LaSal Resource Advisory Committee to maintain 56 miles of Forest Service non-motorized trails in Huntington Canyon. The funds were used to hire a four-person Utah Conservation Corps trail crew to clear out fallen trees, install water control structures and improve hazardous areas. Castleland Resource Conservation and Development Council, Inc. was used to distribute the funds from the grant.
The crew worked closely with another UCC crew hired by the Forest Service under a State of Utah grant. As a result, this fall hunters and other trail users noticed improved trails in the Huntington Canyon drainage. A common statement heard from hunters was "I didn't even have to start my chainsaw."
The Forest Service RAC committee awarded the RAC grant to the San Rafael Backcountry Horsemen in the spring of 2011. The grant provides sufficient funding to hire the crew for six weeks in 2011 and three weeks in 2012. Energy West Mining Company donated roof bolts used to anchor cribbing and water control structures in place.
After first cutting out fallen trees on all of the trails, the crews worked to reduce hazards and erosion by installing water control structures, placing French drains, and stabilizing sections of trail that were sloughing off into streams. The first priority was to cut out all the downed trees.
Due to reduced budgets several of the trails had received no or very minimal maintenance for more than 10 years. Local Backcountry Horsemen contributed more than $10,000 in labor and equipment to help with this work.
The crews found several new landslides in the head of Mill Fork Canyon. These slides had cut across the trail. The crews were able to clear the debris and construct trails across the slides. However, more work is needed to remove water from the trail way.
More information concerning this project and the San Rafael Backcountry Horsemen can be found on the San Rafael Backcountry Horsemen face book page or on the website for the Backcountry Horsemen of Utah at: http://www.bchu.com at the San Rafael link.
Organizers said, "If you believe in preserving our heritage of enjoying our land by horseback, become a member."
You can also find more information regarding Back Country Horsemen of America (BCHA) by accessing their website at: www.backcountryhorse.com.
As the leading organization in saving trails for horse use, BCHA sees their website as a valuable tool for keeping equestrians up-to-date on today's right to ride issues as well as teaching newcomers how to safely and responsibly enjoy America's pristine country by horseback.

Press Office - News and Media Relations
The Archdiocese Press Office, News and Media Relations cultivates and maintains the relationships of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America with Press and Media organizations in the United States and abroad in order to best communicate the Church's mission and message of hope and love.

As a Greek American Orthodox Community abundantly blessed by God, as a Church destined by the grace of God to be His witness in the Western Hemisphere, we are facing the challenging new millennium with a triple task ahead: The task of offering to our contemporary American society our ageless traditions of faith as worship, faith as love, and faith as truth, in an alive, convincing and rejuvenating way.
— Archbishop Demetrios Keynote Address - July 3, 2000
The Greek Orthodox Church in America has emerged on the national and international scene as a vital and vibrant religious presence and thus the Archdiocese is increasingly involved in issues of concern to its faithful and to the society at large.
The Archdiocese Press Office, News and Media Relations cultivates and maintains the relationships of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America with Press and Media organizations in the United States and abroad in order to best communicate the Church's mission and message of hope and love. The Press Office has a pivotal role in explaining how the ministries, offices, programs and policies of the Archdiocese have an impact on the parishes, the community, the clergy and the faithful. In the words of His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios of America, the Press Office has the role of "representing the Archdiocese in an excellent way and facilitating her sacred work of promoting the Orthodox Faith and the universal values of Hellenism."
"In a democracy, dealing with the press is a duty," writes Stephen Hess, a Senior Fellow on Governance Studies with the Brookings Institution and Distinguished Research Professor of Media and Public Affairs at George Washington University. St. Paul in his second letter to Timothy writes: and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry (2 Timothy 4:4-5). Dealing honestly and truthfully with the Press is keeping with St. Paul's charge, a Christian duty and an important ministry.
The Press Office is the daily conduit through which the Press gets information on the life and workings of the Archdiocese. Its role is dual; on one hand to deal with the Press and on the other to keep the Archbishop and senior staff informed on press interests.
It strives to provide advice and ways on how to deal with the news media and, using news management techniques, helps the Archdiocese to maintain a positive public image and avoid negative media coverage.
In particular the Press Office is responsible for:
• Responding and answering journalist's inquiries
• Writing, editing and distributing press releases, media advisories, fact sheets, press packets and media kits
• Initiating and developing feature stories in print and electronic media
• Arranging and organizing press conferences, news briefings, media interviews, photo opportunities, visits and public events
• Coordinating photo coverage and dissemination of photos and video to Press
• Cultivating new relationships and monitor and nurture existing ones with national, ethnic and international media
• Keeping up to date with current national and international issues, situations and public opinions
• Monitoring, researching and evaluating news
• Developing and reassessing clear goals in cooperation with other departments of the Archdiocese
• Developing and maintaining a crisis plan and procedures
• Assisting in Archdiocese special projects and in staging large public events
• Developing and maintaining relationships with other press offices (church, religious, governmental, organizational)
• Maintaining Archdiocese membership with media professional organizations associations and commissions, religious or otherwise.
• Coordinating media contacts with the Metropolises, offices, departments and ministries of the Archdiocese
• Maintaining a comprehensive event calendar
• Maintaining media lists and databases
The director of the Press Office also represents the Archdiocese in community public interest organizations, develops pertinent community relations, monitors community events and activities and interfaces with various event organizers.

Reviews of this property
we had a lovely time and the hosts were very accommodating . Very central , clean and had everything we needed.
Tobias is a very nice host and the position of the apartment, and also the inside is perfect. So we had a great time in Kopenhagen.
Great location to discover Copenhagen by foot and/ bike (recommended).
The flat is very lovely and we like the style a lot.
Tobias gave us very helpful advise when we arrived (as well as a city map and othere Information). We enjoyed our stay a lot!!!
Highly recommended!
Thanks to the beautiful Tobias apartment I spent a fantastic holiday in Copenhagen.
The location is great, right on the shore of the lakes and has allowed me to experience the neighborhood as I was a resident.
Finally, and not to be underestimated, it turns out to be 10 minutes by bike from the best clubs and cocktails bars of the capital.
I hope to be back soon.
Tobias is a great host. He replies really fast and he is really friendly and kind. Totally recommend that host. Greetings from Berlin!
My wife and I have much enjoyed our long weekend at Tobias's place. it is very well located in a pleasant lakeside residential quarter within easy walking and cycling distance of most of what we came to see in Copenhagen. At night we chose to take a bus from the city centre which worked just aswell. In terms of arrival and departure the proximity to Ostopart Station (10 mins walk) with direct link to the airport also worked very well. The area around the apartment is pleasant and relaxed with several nice bars where we were able to catch live music as part of the Jazz festival.
The apartment is a nice space to hang out in with a pleasant well proportioned living room overlooking the lake. Facilities were more than adequate and everything clean and tidy. We were pleased to be provided with bedding and towels.
We contacted Tobias twice and each time he was available, efficient and pleasant in attending to our needs.
In conclusion a perfect accomodation choice for a couple enjoying downtime in Copenhagen.
The apartment is very large and beautiful setting, right on the lake. Until Østerport you can easily walk and continue from there the S-Bahn towards downtown. But also on foot one is in about 20 minutes at the station Nørreport.
We had a great stay, the apartment has everything you need.
We love to come back
Die Wohnung ist sehr groß und schön gelegen, direkt am See. Bis zum Østerport kann man gut zu Fuß gehen und von dort die S-Bahn weiter Richtung Innenstadt nehmen. Aber auch zu Fuß ist man in etwa 20 Minuten an der Nørreport Station.
Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt, die Wohnung bietet alles was man braucht.
Wir kommen gerne wieder
Great apartment, beautiful view. Nice neighborhood, not far from the center, with many services and Osterdam station within walking distance. Under the house is a quiet place to have a beer in the evening and an excellent restaurant. The only flaw, the queen, not so convenient if you are not skinny. For the rest, I recommend it to everyone :)
Ottimo appartamento, bellissima vista. Bel quartiere, poco lontano dal centro, con molti servizi e la stazione di Osterdam a pochi passi. Sotto casa c'è un posticino tranquillo per bere una birra la sera e un ottimo ristorante. Unica pecca, il letto queen size, non proprio comodissimo se non si è magrolini. Per il resto lo consiglio a tutti :)
Contact was very friendly and accommodating. You apartment is practically furnished and has a homely charm.
Kontakt war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Sie Wohnung ist Praktisch eingerichtet und hat einen heimeligen Charme.

However, if there was an emergency where I needed to kill someone to save many, I would do it. I would never kill otherwise though. Also, I would never sell half my lifespan for shinigami eyes though.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
Green River City held a public hearing to discuss and take public comment concerning the annexation policy. Mayor Glen Dale Johnson gave a brief history of the purpose of the public hearing. In 2002, the State of Utah enacted a law that stated that before any annexation could take place in any town, that city must have an annexation policy in affect.
In response to the state law, and in the event of future annexations to be done by Green River, the council is requesting a public hearing to take comments on the draft policy the city is considering. Mayor Johnson made specific mention that the city is not planning any annexation at the present time, but this action is being done in the event that Green River considers any annexations in the future.
"The planning commission has worked very hard on this project. They have considered any possible annexations for the next 20-30 years. Another consideration was whether the city could provide services to these areas in the event of future annexation. We are gathering input from the citizens about this 'area of influence' that Green River is suggesting," said Mayor Johnson.
"This will be the first of two public hearings on this issue. Following this public hearing, we will continue to take comments in writing at city hall. We are also required to notify Emery and Grand counties of our decisions," continued Mayor Johnson. "Again, we are not annexing anything into Green River with this public hearing."
Connie Copenhaver, of the planning commission remarked that the area noted on the map, if this annexation policy is accepted, will become an area of influence. It will also be noted in the town's general plan. The general plan, when in force, will direct all future activities in Green River. Without this policy, Green River would not have voice concerning the development of any of the land contained in the area of influence.
Char Uptain asked the council about the dimensions of the area in the proposed policy. She was given the measurements of 12 miles west, five miles east, seven miles north and eight miles south of the existing city limits. Her comment was that the area is too large.
Jerry McNeely, representing Grand County, was present at the public hearing to speak for Grand County. He stated that with some review and consideration of this proposed policy, Grand County feels that the area under consideration to be included in the annexation policy, is too large. "For the record, we want it known that Grand County is against this policy," said McNeely.
Kelly Quinn is a property owner outside of the current Green River City limits. She stated that there is no benefit in this proposal for property owners. "I also do not understand why the area being considered is so big," said Quinn.
Another property owner, Sharon Nelson, stated that this area of influence takes in her property also. She stated that even if this annexation policy is accepted, city services cannot be brought into her property, and she felt the area was too large.
Dan Harrison questioned the necessity of the city to adopt a policy at this time. He said that this policy is not tested and wondered whether any other cities in the county have accepted these types of policies. He also questioned who would be the enforcing agency in the event that this policy is accepted.
Mary Wilmarth suggested that the proposed area of influence be made smaller. In the future, if deemed necessary, the area can be expanded.
Betty Burns stated that from the view point of a judge, this policy would create more problems. In the past, when a portion of Green River City was in Grand County, many problems arose for her as part of the judiciary. If this area of influence is accepted, and in the future any part of the Grand County property is considered for annexation, many more problems will arise than be solved.
The city council thanked everyone for their comments and closed the public hearing with the reminder that written comments will be accepted for 10 days, following which a second public hearing will be scheduled.
Joni Pace of the Green River Community Center made several presentations to outstanding volunteers. The Presidential Award was given to Char Uptain and Dee Newland. These volunteers have given more than 500 hours of service to the center during the past year. Bruce Pittman was given the Volunteer of the Month award for his outstanding service.
Mayor Johnson discussed the 2005-2006 budget. The new budget must be submitted before the end of June, and some decisions must be made concerning the departments with shortfalls. The museum, the water department, and the sewer department are all forecast to have deficits.
Since the construction of the new water plant, everything needed in its operation, wages, utilities, and insurance, have risen drastically in cost. It is estimated that the city will need to raise water and sewer fees by 20 percent to meet the shortfall. Councilman Tom Burr stated that there is a need to do investigation and find out where the city is losing the money in the facility.
During the construction of the water plant, the engineers built in a figure of proposed growth to the city of Green River. That figure was used in the estimate to help with the estimated costs of running the plant. That growth has not occurred to assist with the rising costs of operation. The council scheduled a work meeting to work out the details of the budget.
Councilman Blaine Evans stated that advertising has begun for seasonal employment opportunities in the mosquito abatement program. The mosquito district has applied for a $2,800 grant to help with the additional costs to fight mosquitos this year. With the above average rainfall, and the amount of standing water, the predictions are that the mosquito problem will increase this year over last year.
All Emery County residents are encouraged to walk around their property and turn over everything that can possibly hold water. They are also encouraged to empty all standing water, and notify the abatement district of any areas of concern. The abatement district will map out all treatment locations and to complete preliminary work to make sure that the mosquito problem is kept to a minimum.
Councilman Evans said the sentinel chickens have arrived and will be watched closely for signs of West Nile Virus. Last year, Grand Junction, Colo. had 29 cases of West Nile Virus, and the virus was identified in Green River, and fortunately, no human cases were reported. "Please, everyone needs to be involved in the process to reduce any opportunity for mosquito breeding grounds. If there is anything in your yard that can collect water, please dump it out," said Evans.
The next Green River City council meeting will be June 14 at 6 p.m.

|In response to Re: Sewage injector pump doesn't start to pump for a while
: If the pump is running too long and pumping all the water out of the sump before it shuts off that will happen. The hole should be there as a safety measure even if that is not the cause of your problem.
: : Hi, My sewage injector pump doesn't start to pump when it starts. It may be a few minutes before I hear water flowing in the pipe. I'm afraid someday it'll just burn the pump out. Someone suggested that their is pump is air-locked somehow. Someone suggested drilling a small hole just above the pump. -Thanks, Brian

2011 USACE/JALBTCX Great Lakes Topographic/Bathymetric Lidar: Michigan (Lake Superior) and New York (Lakes Erie and Ontario) Coastlines
These files contain classified topographic and bathymetric lidar data as unclassified valid topographic data (1), valid topographic data classified as ground (2), low points or noise (7), valid bathymetric data (11). Classes 1, 2 and 7 are defined in accordance with the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) classification standards, while class 11 is specific to the NOAA CSC. These data were collected by the Compact Hydrographic Airborne Rapid Total Survey (CHARTS) system along the coast of Michigan and New York. CHARTS integrates topographic and bathymetric lidar sensors, a digital camera and a hyperspectral imager on a single remote sensing platform for use in coastal mapping and charting activities. Data coverage generally extends along the coastline from the waterline inland 500 meters (topography) and offshore 1,000 meters or to laser extinction (bathymetry). Native lidar data is not generally in a format accessible to most Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Specialized in-house and commercial software packages are used to process the native lidar data into 3-dimensional positions that can be imported into GIS software for visualization and further analysis. Horizontal positions, provided in decimal degrees of latitude and longitude, are referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). Vertical positions are referenced to the NAD83 (GRS80) ellipsoid and provided in meters.The 3-D position data are sub-divided into a series of LAS files, each covering approximately 5 kilometers of shoreline. LiDAR data was collected at a nominal point spacing (NPS) of 2.0 meters. The format of the file is LAS version 1.2.

Northampton are still in with small chance of qualifying for the Heineken Cup quarter finals going into Saturday's game in Glasgow.
Saints must win with a bonus point at Scotstoun and then hope that various results elsewhere go their way!
The visitors have named an unchanged starting XV with GJ Van Velze's addition to the bench the only change to the matchday 23.
Glasgow coach Gregor Townsend has made ten changes to his starting team.
Only five players stay in the starting line-up, with Josh Strauss moving from number eight to openside, James Eddie switching from open to blindside, Sean Maitland moving from right to left wing and Moray Low and Al Kellock remaining in their positions of lock and tighthead respectively.
In the half-back positions, Ruaridh Jackson and Niko Matawalu replace Duncan Weir and Henry Pyrgos at fly-half and scrum-half respectively, with Scott Wight remaining on the bench as cover for Jackson. Sean Kennedy comes in on the bench with Pyrgos dropping out the squad.
The remainder of the backs are made up of Stuart Hogg at full-back, he replaces Peter Murchie; in the centres Byron McGuigan has the number 13 jersey and Graeme Morrison number 12, they come in for Alex Dunbar and Peter Horne, respectively, who both drop to the bench. Finally, Tommy Seymour moves into the right wing in place of DTH Van Der Merwe.
Ryan Wilson is at eight and Tom Ryder moves to the bench making way for Tim Swinson.
In the front-row, Pat MacArthur and Gordon Reid replace Doug Hall and Ryan Grant at hooker and loosehead prop respectively. Hall and Grant remain on the bench with the number 18 jersey unfulfilled for a second week.
"This week I have chosen to give a number of players who didn't play last Friday an opportunity. I'm really excited about this team, they have trained well this week and there is an abundance of pace throughout the squad," said Townsend.
"We have learned a lot so far in the Heineken Cup so we're hoping to transfer these lessons into a winning performance on Saturday.
"Northampton have been on top form in recent weeks with wins over Exeter and Castres and being the only team so far this season to beat Ulster at Ravenhill.
"They are one of Europe's top teams and will test us across the park, particularly up-front and in the set-piece, but as ever this is a challenge we relish."
Following extensive discussions between the club and the ERC came confirmation that tournament rules would not allow another front-row to be added to the list of eligible Warriors players.
More to follow…
The teams:
Glasgow: 15 Stuart Hogg, 14 Tommy Seymour, 13 Byron McGuigan, 12 Graeme Morrison, 11 Sean Maitland, 10 Ruaridh Jackson, 9 Niko Matawalu, 8 Ryan Wilson, 7 James Eddie, 6 Josh Strauss, 5 Al Kellock (capt), 4 Tim Swinson, 3 Moray Low, 2 Pat MacArthur, 1 Gordon Reid.

Not that she was short of any, but Kelly Rowland has gotten a huge motivation boost on the recently released 'Motivation' video, thanks to Lil Wayne's appearance on the track. Rowland has done her trademark work on the song, singing in her usual sexy style, while Weezy has added his personal touch to make the collaboration sound more 'urgent and urban,'-as according to the R&B singer herself.
Speaking in a post-release interview with MTV, Rowland said that she and Wayne go way back. The idea to do a joint venture came when Rowland was in the studio with music producers Jim Jonsin and Rico Love. When she told Rico that she is looking to do a sexy track, he discussed the idea with Jonsin and then the whole 'Motivation' plan came together. She then met Wayne at a basketball game and he quickly absorbed the idea after Rowland briefed him up about the potential collaboration.

Skip to comments."Simulated Pickett N4-ES Slide Rule". (For all you egg heads.)
Posted on 01/26/2013 9:50:45 AM PST by Islander7
Following up on my original post, I've scanned and virtualized my Pickett N4-ES Vector Type LOG LOG DUAL BASE SPEED RULE. That's the most complicated rule that Picket produced. It has 34 scales, which is good, because in the world of slide rule collecting, bigger is better. ().
(Excerpt) Read more at antiquark.com ...
Have fun!!
I don't need this one. I've got my own in my office drawer.
My first year of college chemistry 101 we had a test where we had to compute the number of moles, of whatever it was and it was a simple problem. When I was attending Tech, at least that first year, they still used slide rules although those spanking new TI-55s were just coming on scene.
I still had the slide rule, and the problem was actually an exercize if you knew how to use one....add/subtract instead of multiply/divide using logarithms....
About the time I finished the problem, I heard a bunch of moans and glanced up around the lecture hall and I saw a bunch of TIs/equivalents with their LEDs blinking "EEEEEEEEEEEE...."
The prof set it up where they'd overflow....
And somewhere in the basement, I think I still have a Frieden. Wonder if it's worth anything..or worth enough to did around for.
Pickett N3 ES
K&E Deci-Lon
K&E Log Log Duplex Decitrig
Hemmi 259D (the rule I used in school)
Faber-Castell 283N (IMO the coolest rule ever)
Not that either one did me much good. I flunked out of Differential Equations in college...
Or as my daughter would ask - is there an App for that, dad?
Really interesting. They were gone by the time I was in any school at all.
How did you make that?
By the time I went through school we weren't taught to use these. Thanks for sparking a few minutes of interest... I can kind-of do basic multiplication now :P
That is TOO COOL
Cool! Thanks.
Great post! My Dad used his to design electrical equipment for the New York City and other subway systems, the monorails at Seattle and original Disneyland, and rail cars that dumped the cement for the Glen Canyon Dam in AZ. It was literally the last item he removed from his desk when he retired at age 80, though he'd switched to computer long before then.
I have a Pickett All-American hanging on the wall of my office. It is 4 feet long. When people ask me about it I tell them I use it for really big problems.
I don't have a slide rule, but do have a Curta Type II calculator in its original box with original instructions thta I bought in early 1970 to do estate and tax work. In 1971 the first of the electronic calculators came out, making my Curta instantly obsolete, so I decided to keep it as a curio that might someday be very valuable. Right now it's worth about $1,300 vs. the original price of about $150.00.
I still have my K&E log-log-decitrig that I had in the 50s in college, I still carry it in my glove box in my pickup.
Why would I want to be tied to a computer, when my Post slide rule is right here in it's leather case on my belt?
BTW, AWESOME page!
Your dad had an interesting history. My dad was a Chemical Engineer and I had one of his slide rulers. It was a short one with a suede leather pouch. I ended up giving it to my youngest brother - who is also a Chemical Engineer.
Like others have said, I resisted calculators until the first chemistry test where all the calculator users were done and I was still whizzing away on the sliderule. I saw the light and never looked back.
Back around 1966 I took a class on slide rule. I recall the instructor had a huge one on the wall above the chalk board. I had a cheap plastic one then later got another a much more expensive tho still plastic one. I probably still have them somewhere.
A few months ago I found the first calculator I ever bought. It was a Sears (electronic slide rule). This would have been around 1973. I have at least a dozen high end calculators which use LCD display, and they will run for a very long time before the batteries go dead.
The old Sears one uses 4 AA batteries but it has a beautiful green display. I had quit using it because it ran through batteries fairly quickly. Now it is the only one I use as about the only use it gets is to balance my checkbook and it will run for months just doing that.
40 years old and it still works perfectly.
>>Hemmi 259D (the rule I used in school)<<
My was a Hemmi 257 ChE slide rule. I had to get permission to use it on tests. Instead of log scales on back, it had atomic weights & numbers, pressure conversions and temperature conversions.
>>Hemmi 259D (the rule I used in school)<<
Mine was a Hemmi 257 ChE slide rule. I had to get permission to use it on tests. Instead of log scales on back, it had atomic weights & numbers, pressure conversions and temperature conversions. I still have it in a leather case. It also has a magnifier to read thre and four places.
What the Pickett leads to in engineering and science is quick and critical thinking, not simply quasi-precise numbers.
The real kicker was that only grad students and faculty were allowed to use it.
I picked up a k&e log log duplex in the original box with the books for a song at a yard sale I've been teaching myself as they were gone by the time I arrived it was all ts35s. Beautiful instrument. I told the wife to buy any she finds when she's out yardsaling
My Dad taught slide rule at University. I could use the big one when I was about 4. It was huge and on a cart rolling frame so you could turn it over to show the class both sides without turning the cart.
I started university with a slide rule but you just could not keep up in class against the new TI55 and HP21.
Dad could beat just about any calculator and get awfully close to the same answer. Of course he also did Trachtenberg math and could work most problems in his head.
I didn't make it. Stumbled across it on the net.
They used to teach courses in "estimating", I suspect that is no longer true.
PS There was one guy in my nomography and empirical equations class who had a 15 cycle circular slide rule. It had C & D scales in a circular track surrounding a spiral set of scales they were effectively some 20 feet long. The outer pair could calculate to five significant digits which you used to find which cycle to read on the inward spiral. There is always somebody like that in every math course!
My dad, who was a civil engineer, got an award from the Navy Department for inventing a type of circular slide rule for some sort of task the Navy had.
I bought a Dietzgen slide rule for $20 from the school store. I always regretted not spending the extra $10 it would have cost for a Post - but then, in my defense I did ask what was better about the Post. But it was foolish of me to ask a clerk in a school store (who in retrospect probably could not even multiply with a slide rule) instead of asking someone who actually used a Post slide rule.My brother, whos severely physically handicapped, used a circular slide rule. It had a pair of radial indicator lines whose angle represented the ratio between the two numbers to which the two were set. I really never learned how to use it . . .

Thanks Islander7. An 'extra, extra' to APoD members.
Thanks Islander7. An 'extra, extra' to APoD members.
Somewhere in the house is a small, simple slide rule: it is round.
I do not know the manufacturer's name, but it belonged to my dad, who was a nuclear engineer. He had a collection at one time, but I don't what he did with them.
Boy, talk about dull. Saturday night, 11 PM, and I'm reading a thread about slide rules. I've got a couple around here somewhere... and there is my Dietzgen 1734 - on my dresser. Still slick after 45 years. Down the hall to the computer "lab" and there's it's replacement, an HP 67. I am not going to fire up the 8088 or 286.
Sad to say I used one sort of like this one (K-E Decitrig).
Bfl - I need to send that to a Greek friend.
Things that make you go Hmmm

More kilobytes on its mobile home page translates into slower load times, Keynote says.
Bill Siwicki
PetSmart Inc. on Nov. 29 made a variety of changes to its mobile commerce web site, changes that added heft to its mobile home page and slowed down performance, according to the Keynote Mobile Commerce Performance Index.
"When comparing its mobile site with the previous week, this week we saw PetSmart doubling its page size and increasing the number of page elements, which suggested significant changes to its mobile site," says Venkatesh Giri, mobile performance evangelist at Keynote Systems Inc. "The changes made are all under the hood and are not a site redesign."
For the week ending Dec. 2, PetSmart's m-commerce site home page loaded on average in 7.85 seconds and did so completely and successfully 99.14% of the time. The weighted and combined load time and success rate earned PetSmart an index score of 775 out of 1,000. For the week ending Nov. 25, PetSmart registered a load time of 6.31 seconds and a success rate of 97.45% for a score of 700. PetSmart earned a better score this week solely on the strength of its improved success rate even as its page load time increased 24%.
Before the Nov. 29 changes, PetSmart's m-commerce site home page served 13 page objects, such as images or boxes of text, and weighed approximately 100 kilobytes, Keynote says. PetSmart's current home page sports 20 elements that weigh 200 kilobytes, the measurement firm says. Among the new elements is an application program interface, or API, for the newly added Google Ajax Search, which facilitates quicker loading of search results pages, Keynote says. PetSmart's mobile home page also includes an API for Google Commerce Search, the backbone of the merchant's site search, the firm adds.
"To load these different Google APIs, PetSmart is using Google's autoloader, which allows you to easily import one or more APIs into a mobile site," Giri says. "Savvy developers can use auto-loading to enhance the performance of a mobile site."
The addition of new functionality is welcome, but the increase in page size and the number of elements means the loading of the m-commerce site is slower than the previous week, Giri says.
"PetSmart must first focus on reducing the number of elements, making fewer HTTP server requests wherever possible to improve page loading," Giri says. An HTTP server request occurs when a mobile web browser on a smartphone requests page elements from a retailer's server. "PetSmart serves nine images, and what caught our attention was how PetSmart is not using any image-optimization techniques to reduce the number of elements. They are serving individual site icon images instead of using Cascading Style Sheet sprites, a technique which combines multiple images into a single sprite image. Implementing this technique will reduce the number of elements and balance out the extra HTTP requests required to load Google APIs."
Further, PetSmart uses data compression techniques on a few page objects to reduce the weight of the home page but doesn't make use of these techniques consistently, Giri adds.
"For example, its home page is not compressed and very few of its JavaScript files are compressed," Giri says. "If the retailer wishes to climb up the index, it needs to focus on optimizing its web site after the addition of new functionalities. Developers and designers need to ensure that adding new functionality doesn't cause web site slow-downs or negatively impact site performance."
PetSmart did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
For the week ending Dec. 2, Barnes & Noble and Toolfetch.com LLC tied for first place on the Keynote Mobile Commerce Performance Index. Barnes & Noble registered a load time of 5.22 seconds and a success rate of 100% for a score of 946. Toolfetch.com had a load time of 2.87 seconds and a success rate of 99.58% for a score of 946. Office Depot Inc. came in third with a load time of 3.61 seconds and a success rate of 99.68% for a score of 942.
The index average load time was 9.47 seconds, the average success rate was 99.05% and the average score was 727.
Click here and then click on Keynote Mobile Commerce Performance Index Part 1 and Part 2 to see this week's complete results for all 30 retailers on the index.
Keynote Systems measures 30 representative m-commerce sites exclusively for Internet Retailer. The sites include merchants in multiple categories and channels, and of multiple sizes, ranging from such giants as Amazon.com Inc. to midsized retailers like Toolfetch.com LLC. Keynote tests the sites in the index every hour Monday through Sunday from 8 a.m. through midnight Eastern time, emulating three different smartphones on three different wireless networks: Apple Inc.'s iPhone 4 on AT&T, the HTC Evo on Sprint and the Droid X on Verizon. The HTC Evo and the Droid X run Google Inc.'s Android operating system. Keynote runs the tests in New York and San Francisco.
Keynote combines a site's load time and success rate, equally weighted, into a single score. Given that both performance and availability are important, the score reflects the overall quality of the home page; a higher score indicates better performance. Scores also reflect how close sites are to one another in overall quality. The index average score is the midpoint among all the sites' scores.

Don't know if this is the best place to put this, but just in case it saves someone else spending an hour or so trawling through code:
When you rename your stylesheet from 'styles.php' to 'styles.css' (or make any changes to the module's 'styles.css'), make sure you go to:
Site Administration => Appearance => Themes => Theme Settings
and tick 'Theme Designer Mode' + Save Changes, to clear the css cache (you can untick it again immediately afterwards, to get the site rendering back up to full speed again).
I know this was in Theme docs, but I missed it in amongst everything else.
Thanks - those are just the type of experiences that I hope will help others save time. Peace - Anthony
I've made some modifications on the Login & logout block (http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=1719&filter=1) to work with Moodle 2.0.
I'm trying to make a new sub-task for it, but I can't find this block under Component/s.
Sorry, but I've no experiences with using this site yet.
Here is my code: http://gazdagandras.hu/sites/default/files/csatolmanyok/login_logout.tgz
Many thanks for your work on the 2.0 version of the login/logout block. I have sent Luis, the person who added the entry to the Modules and Plugins entry you mentioned and asked him to comment here in the tracker. I would suggest that if he want to make the 2.0 version available that he can start with your code, test and review it, and then add a link to the code so that there is a 2.0 version available. Any time that the Modules and Plugins database entry is modified, it will need to be re-approved so if someone could let me know I would greatly appreciate it. Since the code is not being maintained in Moodle CONTRIB, I will let Luis decide how he wants to handle it since he is the current primary maintainer. That is the reason you were not able to find the component in the tracker as that is created once the code is submitted and added to the CVS server. If Luis wants to have the code added to Moodle CONTRIB then we would just need to follow the procedures in Guidelines for CONTRIB Code (http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Guidelines_for_contributed_code). Thanks again, and if you have any questions or if I can be of any assistance please do not hesitate to let me know. Peace - Anthony
Most of the plugins have not been migrated (according to the sub-tasks list), so I'm not sure why this has been marked as 'resolved'
Davo - Thanks for reopening, I suspect Akin mistakenly resolved the wrong issue. CONTRIB-1988 should remain open until we have the most popular contrib items migrated. Peace - Anthony

Great shoe for right person!

Its Rockin' and its "Candy-lishes!"
"My Rock & Candy London Town Sneakers are really rad! When the box came I was so excited to get it opened and put them on. The pink is my favorite color and I think they need some pink shoe laces too. I wasn't sure about the wedges, but the shoes really feel like tennis shoes and are really comfortable; I almost forgot and started running in them to get to a crosswalk light to cross it and then realized I wasn't in regular tennis shoes. LOLI wore the shoes all day and into the night and they still were so comfortable; no binding or blisters anywhere. I really love them!These will rock in jeans, skirts/dresses, leggins, whatever. They're just quirky enough to wear however you want. Make a statement!"

This drawing was published in the Bulletin as an illustration to Will Jarratt's poem of the same name, which describes an estrangement between a man and a woman:
A word in anger, and no more we meet,
What time the mopoke wakens with a start;
Cold looks for Love, and for his hunted feet
A thorn laid on the threshold of the heart.
A tear, a sigh, the while he's riding past,
And I half-wishing that he'd heard
and seen;
But not for long will this estrangement last,
With but a set of blue-gum rails between.
Lambert created a balanced composition, using rhythmical lines and strong billowing forms, and elongating the figure of the woman to achieve an elegance.

Explore the imperial residences of St. Petersburg on a 3-day sightseeing tour. Discover the Winter Palace and Hermitage, visit Pushkin's Baroque…
St. PetersburgSee all 206 tickets & tours
We booked the 2 day bus & boat tour, which was great. In fact we only used the bus on one day but the boat trip on the other day was brilliant & lasted 1 hour 45 minutes!
We bought the combo of tickets for the bus and the boat with my parents. Everything went fine and it was a really nice experience to visit St. Petersburg. I highly recommend this site to buy your tickets.
Although it started to rain, we really got to see and understand the city how all came to be. Great expeience
The sight seeing tour was interesting and it is awesome that you can hop on/off at the different sights. Especially during the cold winter it is the best way to do sightseeing. Nevertheless it is a pity that the bus doesn't drive to the fortress and furthermore the windows were fogged and sometimes it was hard to see. All in all it was worth it!
I find these a fabulous way to get a quick overview of a city and ST Petersburg was no different. The audio information was good, however would suggest they put music on in the background when words are not spoken so you know your ear piece has not fallen out, changed channel or volume

Model# P430S
Dynacraft Hindsight Putter - Clubhead
Starting at: $24.95The Dynacraft Hindsight putter was scientifically designed to get the ball rolling forward sooner by using two key features in unison - a forward press and roll face technology. The forward hand press is said to create a fluid, rhythmic stroke, but more importantly to keep the hands moving through the stroke. The Hindsight putter incorporates a 3 degree forward press or just enough to position the hands even with the leading edge.With roll face technology as incorporated into the Dynacraft Hindsight putter, it normalizes the effective loft at impact to create the proper amount of loft to extract the ball from any indentation and get the ball rolling as quickly as possible for better distance control.Lastly it is completed with grooves into the roll face as well as face balanced. The Dynacraft Hindsight is a unique putter producing extraordinary results! Learn More

Delta, Virgin Blue Welcome Australian Competition and Consumer Commissionâs Draft Decision on Joint Venture Application02/11/2009
2 November 2009: Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) and the Virgin Blue Airlines Group (ASX: VBA) welcome the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's (ACCC) draft determination to grant authorisation to the airlines' proposed joint venture.
The draft determination recognises that the proposed alliance will enhance the strong competition on trans-Pacific routes. The proposed alliance will allow the carriers to provide an enhanced service and develop future services and routes, through collaboration on route and product planning, codesharing on their respective networks and the extension of frequent flyer program benefits and lounge access to customers of both airlines.
This cooperation will allow the carriers to offer seamless, integrated travel between cities throughout the Australian and US domestic markets. This enhanced network-to-network product will enable the maintenance and expansion of existing trans-Pacific scheduling and the introduction of new direct trans-Pacific routes.
The proposed alliance also fulfils a key policy rationale behind the Australia-US Open Skies Agreement, introducing further and sustained competition on one of Australia's most important air routes.
Delta and Virgin Blue will continue to cooperate with the ACCC as part of the authorisation process and look forward to the final decision in due course. Delta and V Australia are awaiting a similar positive decision from the U.S. Department of Transportation in order to proceed with their joint venture.

Healthy, but delicious alternative to cookies!

For a girl who loves her crunchy sweets, this satisfied my sweet tooth completely without the guilt. These are the perfect sweet snack if you are looking for a good source of protein and fairly low calories. Definitely will be repurchasing!
Another great product!

Newcastle Falcons have made four changes for this Sunday's Aviva Premiership trip to table-toppers Saracens.
Newcastle Falcons have made four changes for this Sunday's Aviva Premiership trip to table-toppers Saracens.
After making his 100th appearance for the Falcons as a second-half replacement in last weekend's 13-11 triumph over London Irish at Kingston Park, skipper Will Welch makes a welcome return to the starting XV.
Kieran Brookes replaces Oliver Tomaszczyk at tight-head, while former Saracens man Noah Cato and Scotland international Phil Godman get the nod on the wing and at fly-half respectively.
The Falcons sit in eighth place, two points behind Harlequins, who occupy sixth position, and boss Dean Richards admits his side have nothing to lose in the capital this weekend.
"It's going to be an interesting game against a quality side, but we're going down there with absolutely nothing to lose," said Richards.
"They're a talented side with a lot of strength in depth, and despite them losing a series of players for the autumn internationals, they have top class players coming into the team."
Sunday's clash marks the return of former Sarries players Cato and Adam Powell to Allianz Park with the latter relishing the contest.
"Saracens is a brilliant challenge for us, especially after the win against London Irish, and it will be a good opportunity to see where we are at as a team, and we'll be looking to go out there and play some good rugby," said Powell.
"There's been a real buzz in training this week, and after you get a win under your belt, there's always an extra zip in the sessions and everyone has a bit more energy.
"I'm really looking forward to the game."
Meanwhile, Charlie Hodgson makes his first start of the season – the 32 year-old has recovered from an Achilles injury to partner former Springbok scrum-half Neil de Kock, in what is an experienced halfback pairing for Saracens.
Argentine international Marcelo Bosch is named at outside centre, to make his full debut for the club – Bosch partners the versatile Chris Wyles in the Sarries midfield, with David Strettle, Michael Tagicakibau and Alex Goode in the back three.
Jackson Wray and Will Fraser replace Kelly Brown and Jacques Burger in the back row, whilst Ernst Joubert keeps his place at number eight.
Mouritz Botha partners captain Steve Borthwick at lock, and Jamie George comes in for the Schalk Brits at hooker.
Richard Barrington continues at loosehead prop, with British and Irish Lion Matt Stevens on the opposite side of the scrum at tighthead.
Chris Ashton, Owen Farrell, Joel Tomkins, Billy Vunipola and Mako Vunipola are all away on international duty with England.
"Newcastle are very competitive with some familiar faces within their side. They will be well organised and have players capable of quickly changing games, so we will have to be fully focused on our own performance levels to get the result we want," said Saracens boss Mark McCall.
Form: Saracens slipped to a second successive defeat at Northampton on Saturday to follow on from their narrow reversal against Toulouse at Wembley in the European Cup. The Sarries only defeat in their ten previous matches at Allianz Park in all competitions came to Northampton in last year's Aviva Premiership Rugby semi-final. Newcastle Falcons have won three of their last four matches in all competitions and the newly promoted team have risen to 8th place in the Premiership table. Newcastle have won four of their last five away games in the Premiership. Saracens have won their last seven fixtures against Newcastle in all competitions since the Falcons 13-9 victory at Kingston Park in the Premiership in February 2009. Newcastle have not been triumphant on Saracens soil since 2007.
The teams:
Saracens: 15 Alex Goode, 14 Michael Tagicakibau, 13 Marcelo Bosch, 12 Chris Wyles, 11 David Strettle, 10 Charlie Hodgson, 9 Neil de Kock, 8 Ernst Joubert, 7 Will Fraser, 6 Jackson Wray, 5 Mourtiz Botha, 4 Steve Borthwick (c), 3 Matt Stevens, 2 Jamie George, 1 Richard Barrington.
Replacements:16 Schalk Brits, 17 Nick Auterac, 18 Petrus Du Plessis, 19 George Kruis, 20 Jacques Burger, 21 Richard Wigglesworth, 22 Duncan Taylor, 23 Ben Ransom
Newcastle Falcons: 15 Alex Tait, 14 Noah Cato, 13 Danny Barnes, 12 Adam Powell, 11 Ryan Shortland, 10 Phil Godman, 9 Mike Blair, 8 Ally Hogg (c), 7 Will Welch, 6 Mark Wilson, 5 Dom Barrow, 4 Carlo del Fava, 3 Kieran Brookes, 2 Scott Lawson, 1 Rob Vickers.
Replacements: 16 George McGuigan, 17 Grant Shiells, 18 Scott Wilson, 19 Fraser McKenzie, 20 Richard Mayhew, 21 Warren Fury, 22 Rory Clegg, 23 James Fitzpatrick

Wrong Item! Title Is Not CorrectI wanted the Nexxus Headress Weightless Leave-In Conditioner as listed and got the thickening leave-in volumizer which is horrible for my thick, coarse hair. Now I have to return it - at least I know never to buy from this site again!Jun 29, 2011KarenHAIR TYPEAuburn / Thick or Coarse Hair

Wow!I have fine relaxed hair. I was desperately looking for a light weight leave in conditioner. Everything I tried,no matter how little weighed my hair down and made my strands stick together. I'm a product junkie so I've tried many things. I was getting pretty depressed because nothing was working. Well, I went through my closet looking for something else and stumbled on this. I washed with Nexxus Therepee shampoo and deep condition for 20 mins with Nexxus Humectress. I have the older version of everything. After rinsing,I put a dime size of Headress in my palm. While my hair was damp I felt my hair getting softer. I blow dried on low heat,and then I used a heat protectant to flat iron. My hair looked amazing. My curls held better and were real bouncy. My hair felt nice and soft,but also strong. My hair felt moisturized and it even looked thicker. After trying coconut oil(hair was too oily and flat),castro oil(still too oily),Avalon Humectress leave in(liked,but couldn't hold curls), I didn't think there was any hope. I'm so happy I held on to this instead of giving it away. Yes! to amazing hair. This deserves more than 5 stars.Jun 4, 2011Melissa D. / Bronx,New YorkHAIR TYPEBlack / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair / Relaxed Hair

DisappointingI've been a huge fan of the original Nexxus Headress Weightless Leave-In Conditioner for years. Nothing ever came close to it for detangling my long, fairly thick hair and leaving it soft and smooth, so I didn't mind the higher salon-product price. This new version bears no resemblance to the old Weightless Leave-In Conditioner outside the shape of the bottle! The ingredients in this product differ from the original. It didn't do anything horrible to my hair. It didn't really do anything at all to it. It didn't detangle it. It didn't soften it. Except for the rather strong lingering scent (not as pleasant as the original scent), it left my hair exactly as it is when I don't use a leave-in conditioner. I tried it a couple of times just to give it a fair shot, then threw out the rest of it. Save your money!Mar 30, 2011Shirley / GAHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Nice Leave In ConditionerI bought this to use with the other Nexxus products I use. I have very fine, thin hair but it's also dry and over-processed (permed and colored) and has a tendency to "frizz". This product helped my dry hair without weighing my hair down. When I used my Helen of Troy hot curling brush, it protected the ends from getting too dry.Mar 11, 2010Jackie

Excellent Replacement For Discontinued Redken Clear Moisture Moist EndsIt leaves my waist length hair shiny, soft, tangle and STATIC FREE. The ends look perfect. There are no flyaways. It is an easy and quick solution to my dull, dry, lifeless and staticy hair. I put a little in my hair after a light towel drying and that is it. Out the door I go. Silky hair is a beautiful thing.Feb 9, 2009Artmaven / South Jersey

OverratedI live in Canada, and we dont have a lot of Nexxus products coming into the country. So when I visit the US, I like to stock up on hair products. I had been recommended Headress by a friend because she swears by this brand, so I gave it a try.I felt it definitely wasnt the best hair conditioner Ive tried, its definitely not weightless, and leaves your hair less than perfectly soft and smooth.BioSilk gives better results for sure.Sep 23, 2008Derek / Canada

Nice Product!!This is a nice product but you have to know how to use it, like all Nexxus products and most others, you cant just put it on the hair without knowing how and when to use it and expect it to work.. I give it 5 stars because it has help the condition of my hair.Jul 23, 2008Sheryl / TX
