On the way to the gorge
... on the way back to Oregon - first drive through the Snoqualmie pass. This a beautiful drive, saw the ski park at the.top of the.summit - a perfect set up for winter.
Come down off the mountains drove the freeway through to Ellebnsburg a good time to get out and do a leg stretch, very much a farming community, Rodeos & cowboys lol....
Leaving Ellenburgh we.headed.up the hills th ...
Day 48 - Seven Waterfalls & a Log Jam
... the real claim to fame about Horsetail Falls is the hike up the mountain to Oneonta Falls. The trail is very narrow and steep, and is basically a series if switchbacks up the side of the mountain. It is also VERY rocky, with lots of sharp edges along the path. Luckily it was the first hike of the day, and we still had lots of energy. We made it to the top, though I must admit, my fear of heights kicked in a little near the top.
Day 47 - Motorcycle Service & Discovery Center
... and explained a lot about the birds. We were able to take some pretty good pictures. All the birds were disabled in some way so they couldn't be returned to the wild, but they were beautiful to look at. We overheard the handler tell a bus tour group that she would let them in to see the Bald Eagles at 3:30 when it was time to load up the bus. As we finished looking around the museum, at 3:30 we just joined the bus tour crowd and ...
Day 46 - Who Goes To the Beach at 61 Degrees?
... turnout next to the Pacific Ocean. This one was more traditional, as this was the typical rocky shore, with the water coming right up to the rocks. As we looked south we saw this huge bridge, and it didn't take us long to figure out this was the mouth of the Columbia River, and the bridge was the Astoria-Megler Bridge. This bridge crosses the Columbia River with Megler, Washington on one side and Astoria, Oregon on the other. Hence the clever name - ...
Kickin' It In the Hood
... little else to choose from so I tried their root beer and loved it. The brewery was packed and the pizza looked and smelled incredible, so we escaped without ordering any and headed home for the night. Husb cooked as usual - this time some awesome grilled goat cheese, bacon, and razz pepper jam (sanks Mom).
The next morning, after a quick breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes, we said our goodbyes to ...

I just arrived in one of the greatest cities around -- Tucson, Arizona. I'm here for an annual gathering of the diaconate communities of the dioceses/archdioceses that comprise Region XIII. It's always a wonderful event, with lots of great fellowship, wonderful food and drink, and conversation. They've asked me to talk about "The Diaconate in the Liturgy: Past, Present, Future." That's quite a broad topic, but here's what I plan on doing.
There's been a lot of talk about the implementation of the 3rd Edition of the Roman Missal in a few months, and so most of the folks have already been to classes and workshops on the particulars. I don't want to prattle on about things they already know. What I think (hope!) will be far more beneficial is to really turn the clock back and reflect on WHY we have the Mass in the first place! We often spend all kinds of time talking about WHAT the Mass is, and WHAT TO DO at Mass, and many times we don't have a real clue about WHY we're doing it in the first place!
We are going to start with the most fundamental dogma of the Church. That will be my first challenge to the deacons and wives present tomorrow at my presentations: Just what IS the most fundamental DOGMA of the Catholic Church. A dogma, of course, is a teaching (doctrine) of the Church that we believe is divinely-revealed. Think about that for a minute. What do YOU think that most fundamental dogma is?
If you said the TRINITY, you get a gold star, or maybe we should make it a gold triangle! So, the first thing we're going to do is talk about the Trinity. Where did that whole idea come from? What led Christians to take the ONE GOD of the Jewish faith and further define that ONE GOD as being in Three divine Persons? Why was such a radical step necessary?
Because Christians had to answer a very important question, one that they'd been wrestling with since Jesus asked if of Simon at Caesarea Philippi: "Who do you say that I am?" Every Christian has to answer that question for himself or herself. Well, the range of possible answers includes: "You are a man," "You are God", "You are neither God nor Man," and "You are both God and Man." But here's the rub. If you answer that Jesus is simply a man, you have no problem. But if your answer involves Jesus being divine, you then have to figure out HOW to explain His relationship to the ONE GOD. Of course, as any good church historian will tell us, these dicussions about who Christ is (the Christological debates) and who God is (the Trinitarian debates) occupied many of the early centuries of the church's life as disciples struggled to explain all of this.
And while all of this debating was going on, faithful Christians continued to gather in their various communities and traditions to worship Mystery through the breaking of bread as modeled for them by Christ. Those earliest Christians didn't wait till they had answers to all their questions before they acted: they lived and acted out of sheer faith.
We'll get into many things tomorrow, but this will be our starting point.

Evil being the R4 cart for the DS. One of those 54 other companies is Capcom, and in a conference call they explained the reason behind their participation in the suit: Advertisement There are companies that sell downloads without any license in the U.S.A., while a considerable number of pirated copies of game software are available in the Chinese market. In response to these situations, this lawsuit took the initiative for the whole industry in terms of taking countermeasures. It does not necessarily have a great effect at this stage, but we intend to send a wake-up call to such companies in the future. That last line's interesting. Particularly if you're involved with the R4 - or other similar devices - and your boots were previously shaking. Their heart's not really in it! [Capcom]Reply72 repliesLeave a reply

Pop goes the record.
More than 700 students and teachers crowded into the gym at West Scranton Intermediate School on Friday morning, hoping to break the Guinness World Record for the most people popping bubble wrap at the same time.
"These are the kinds of things kids remember about school," Principal Paul Dougherty said. "It really is a great day at West Scranton Intermediate School."
Witnesses confirmed 733 people popped bubble wrap for two minutes on Friday, unofficially breaking the record of 532, set in March by the Bramley Church of England Primary School. Official notice could take six weeks, after the evidence — including video documentation, photos and sign-in sheets — is sent to and reviewed by Guinness officials.
In their attempt to break the record, students and staff also raised $3,500 for St. Joseph's Center through a dance, bake sale, pencil sale and other donations. In addition, a $2,000 donation is expected from New York Life, whose employees volunteered by cutting 2,000 feet of bubble wrap and helped oversee Friday's popping.
The project was organized by social studies teacher Lisa Michaels, who came up with the idea while she and her students read an issue of Scholastic News magazine. In a "by the numbers" sidebar, the number 366 was included — the previous bubble wrap popping record.
She knew the school could break it and wanted to give the students a team-building experience they would not forget. Given the go-ahead by Mr. Dougherty, Ms. Michaels started planning the event and followed Guinness guidelines. Having previously been part of a successful world record attempt for a gathering of kayaks and canoes in Pittsburgh, Ms. Michaels was ready for another record.
"Doing that experience made me feel so incredibly proud. I felt I was part of something big," she said. "I want my kids to feel the same way."
With bubble wrap donated by an employee at the UPS Store and the supervision of more than 30 volunteers on Friday, students filed into the gym and sat in groups of 40. Ms. Michaels instructed the students to pop the bubble wrap in a "consistent, constant" manner.
"I'm pumped. I'm excited. We can do it!" she shouted.
When the horn sounded, the popping began. PIAA officials and other witnesses watched, and everyone cheered as the horn sounded again, signaling the record was broken.
"I thought it was a really good experience," Emily Tunis, a sixth-grader, said. "I will probably never get to do anything in my life like this again."
Lainey Lavelle, an eighth-grader, said it was exciting to think about being part of a world record.
"Now I can tell people that, and they'll think I'm cool," she said.

I have been reading about 505 Spray and it looks like a great help to me. I mentioned it to my quilt teacher and she is dead set against it. she says it will wreck my sewing machine. Has anyone had this problem?
I have had absolutely no problems with it. I wonder why she thinks it can be a problem?
I have started using it with my emb work it seems to be great! My sis has used it for years and has never had a problem. They say the prob is that it will gum up your machine needle.
I love this stuff! Much better than another spray baste I tried, Sullivans. I have not had any problems with it. I think that any spray baste will give you problems if you use it too heavily. The trick is to have a light hand.
I also love 505 spray. Do not over spray as it could gum up the needle a little. I use this spray for hand and machine quilting! Luann
it does gum up the needle if you use it often. I clean my needle with a drop of remover for sticky labels and such get it in the cleaning dept of wally world
I've used 505 as well as KK100. If you spray it lightly once, wait a few seconds and spray lightly a second time you won't run the risk of using too much. I've never had a problem with either one.

Just about anyone who considers himself or herself techno-savvy owns a smartphone. Smartphones are capable of performing feats that once were only found on The Jetsons or Star Trek. One of the features that many take advantage of is the video chat feature. Some of the obvious features of video chat gives the user the ability to create photo stills as well as chat with other users in real time. Video chat is available in all of the major phone brands. One of the video chat suppliers that is very popular is that of Skype.
Skype is a communication application that allows users to make phone calls, message and of course do video chats, all free of charge with an internet connection (if having to use a computer). With 299 million users already, Skype is one of the most popular video chatting applications on the market. Whether you are accessing Skype from your desktop computer, laptop or phone, the process for skype login is fairly easy. Here is looking at Skype for the three most popular phone systems.
If you are looking for skype login free download, you will want to take advantage of the latest upgrade. The upgrade is particular for the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus. The loading times for chat are much faster. More options exist for saving photos and the users have an easier access to their People list. For example, when a message notification appears, the user has instant access to that message, no wait time.
If you are searching for skype for android, advantages that are available include, but are not limited to free face to face video chat and voice calls, the ability to send photos, videos and files without size limitation, the ability to send messages that you are able to see and hear with the video messaging, and low costs for calls and texts to mobile phones and/or landlines.
If your download is going to be the skype for windows phone, some of the features will include the ability to send your doodling and other drawings. That is a great feature if you are part of an ad team or marketing group and you need to send your rough sketches to a client or your boss.
Downloading the Skype application for your mobile phone, regardless to the type you have will revolutionize your business and personal communications. You will save on business telephone calls, for example. You will also be able to provide some online training using Skype. If you want to explore more about what Skype can offer for your phone, visit the website, skypelogin.net/.

The Securities and Exchange Commission is reviewing the use of financial derivatives by mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and other investments to determine whether new protections are needed for investors.
The SEC said Thursday that while the review by its staff is ongoing, the agency won't approve any new exchange-traded funds that would make "significant investments" in derivatives. Existing ETFs and other types of funds won't be affected.
Derivatives, the complex instruments traded in a $600 trillion global market and blamed for playing a role in the financial crisis, have come under heightened scrutiny in the U.S. and Europe. Particular attention is being focused on credit default swaps, a form of insurance against loan defaults, which account for about 10 percent of the derivatives market.
SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro has called for Congress to impose new oversight on derivatives, warning that allowing risky instruments like the swaps to continue unfettered could bring further economic damage. Federal regulation of the derivatives market is included in sweeping legislation to overhaul financial regulation that passed the House in December and also is included in a new Senate bill.
"Although the use of derivatives by funds is not a new phenomenon, we want to be sure our regulatory protections keep up with the increasing complexity of these instruments and how they are used by fund managers," Andrew Donohue, director of the SEC's investment management division, said in a statement. "This is the right time to take a step back and rethink those protections."
The SEC review will examine, among other things, whether funds' use of derivatives is consistent with rules for concentration of assets and risk management, and whether fund directors are adequately overseeing their use.
Exchange-traded funds trade like stocks but mirror other assets such as stock indexes or commodities. Unlike traditional mutual funds, ETF shares can be traded throughout the day.
Conventional ETFs track a market index such as the Standard & Poor's 500. So-called leveraged ETFs seek to deliver multiples of an index or benchmark, often in volatile areas like commodities or currencies that involve derivatives.

The French general election shall take place on June, 10th and 17th 2012, to elect the 14th National Assembly of the 5th Republic, little over a month after the second round of the presidential election on May, 6th 2012.
The French Parliament consists of two assemblies, the National Assembly and the Senate. They sit in two distinct premises (the National Assembly in the Palais Bourbon and the Senate in the Palais du Luxembourg). M.P.s and Senators are national representatives : regardless of the constituency where they are elected, they each represent the entire nation.
The Senate is made up of 348 Senators, a maximum number allowed by article 24 of the Constitution, elected for six years by indirect universal suffrage by a college of approximately one hundred and fifty thousand grand electors (M.P.s. and representatives of local authorities). The Senate is renewed by half every three years.
The National Assembly is made up of 577 MPs, a maximum number allowed by article 24 of the Constitution, elected for a 5-year mandate by direct universal suffrage within single-member constituencies.

The head of the international water bureau in the Syrian ministry of irrigation keeps a host of other theological instructions on file, along with historical water agreements stretching back to 2,360 BC, via the Iraqi kingdom of Hammurabi (1792-1750 BC) and four centuries of Ottoman legislation. On Mr Musri's wall, a large map appears to show the fruits of this collected wisdom: most of Syria is coloured a dark, verdant green. But another set of files on his desk shows just how misleading maps can be.
For in the far north of his country - and it is a problem upon which Mr Musri spends almost every waking hour - the colour green is fading away. Four entire rivers, according to the Syrian ministry, have either dried up because the Turks have diverted the water courses north of the border, or been contaminated by massive pollution from Turkey. Mr Musri slides a pen down the mournful list on his desk. "The Jaljal river passes through our city of Hassake," he says. "It has dried up. "The el-Balih river virtually dried up five years ago when the Turks began using the underground water in the river's catchment area in Turkey. In summer now, the Sajar river runs out of water."
Mr Musri knows his job. He speaks fluent Turkish and two years ago completed a five-year assignment as first secretary at the Syrian embassy in Ankara. He has visited every Turkish dam on the other side of the frontier and participated in the major water resource conferences with Turkey. His pen comes to rest on another river, the Qweik, which once ran south into the great city of Aleppo. "It is no more," he says.
Not quite. When I visited the area, I found something worse. The Qweik is now a fast-flowing open sewer, its stench drifting for miles across the barren fields. In Aleppo itself, the Syrians have been forced to merge the ancient watercourse, with its underground Roman water tanks and bridges, into the city's sewerage system.
"Just 13 months ago, the Turkish side started releasing polluted water in some of our joint rivers," Mr Musri goes on. "Sewage water and drainage from the lands that carry industrial pollutants came down the al-Balih valley and we are still receiving this dirty water." And from a battered grey filing cabinet in the corner of the room comes another file, crammed with statistics of biological oxygen dissolve (BOD) measurements - a system of checking the purity of water. "In the normal course of events, there should be only 2mg BOD per litre in a river - up to 40 if it is irrigation water. But we've done 300 analyses in the al-Balih valley and they show that BOD reached 500mg per litre. This has polluted the land - it's harmed the health of our farmers and their families, and contaminated drinking water in the region."
Mr Musri, however, is a technical man. Ask him why the Turks are polluting the rivers and he replies: "It's a political question. From the technical side, we have all the information necessary to reach a joint agreement. The problem today is not so much the amount of water - though that has been a problem on the Euphrates when the Turks were filling their dams - but the quality of the water." All of which depends, it seems, on the quality of political relations between Syria and Turkey, a matter upon which Mr Musri did not wish to expand.
It is no secret, however, that Turkey's new military agreement with Israel - which allows Israeli pilots to fly in Turkish airspace along Syria's northern border - and Turkey's anger at Syrian support for Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK) separatists who are waging a brutal campaign in south-east Turkey, have brought relations between the Syrians and the Turks to their lowest point for many years. The PKK leader, Abdullah Ocalan, appears from time to time in the Syrian-controlled Lebanese Bekaa valley to issue ceasefire calls or bloodcurdling threats against his Turkish antagonists. A series of small bombs that exploded in Syrian towns last year were probably the work of Turkish government agents, and reports of sniping by Turkish soldiers across the northern border have been confirmed by a Syrian security source. At one point last year, Syrian armour was moved north after reports of Turkish troop movements. Publicly, the Syrians do not speak about the lost lands around Alexandretta - ceded by the French mandate authority in 1939 in the vain hope of persuading Turkey to join the coming Allied fight against Hitler. But they have not forgotten.
And they are ever mindful of that most ancient of rivers that flows from Turkey, the epic Euphrates whose waters slackened when Turkey built its dams to the north and are now, according to the Syrians, in danger of falling again as the Turks establish two new dams - at Biracik and Karkamish - for land irrigation. Biracik alone, Mr Musri says, is intended to irrigate 81,670 hectars of land. "This means it will reduce our share of water in the Euphrates. Syria and Iraq are ready to sign a final agreement with Turkey to share the water of the Euphrates in an equitable way according to international law. But the Turkish side, till now, has not reached final agreement because it would like to have time to finish its planned projects."
Mr Musri takes the view that existing legislation between Turkey, Syria and Iraq - especially a 1987 protocol signed by former Turkish prime minister Turgut Ozal - form the basis of a final agreement. The irony, of course, is that the sharing of waters between Syria and Iraq has long ago been agreed - even though Saddam Hussein remains a visceral enemy of President Hafez al-Assad of Syria.

Recent high school graduate returns to The Mile.
WEST ALLIS, WIS. - With his high school diploma now in hand, Zach Veach's summer has hit the ground running as he makes his way back to the Milwaukee Mile in the hopes of duplicating his first career pole result from 2011. The 18-year-old has no time for down time as he looks for his first pole and win of the 2013 season and his quest for the Firestone Firehawk Cup.
"Getting to go back to Milwaukee is very exciting for me; I got my first oval pole and a second-place finish there back in 2011 running in the USF2000 series," said Veach. "The team and I have been working very hard in preparing for this weekend. We had a successful test there last week and took a lot away with us that's going to carry into the race and hopefully allow us to start one step ahead of everyone else.
I have a lot more learning to do come practice, but I'm very thankful for K12, The Young Marines, ADS IT Solutions, Zakosi Data Backup, Replay XD, OMP, Bell Helmets, Got Chocolate Milk?, Art Rotondo, and to my crew guys and the team for making all of this possible. With our race being just one day before Father's Day, I'd love to be able to celebrate with my dad having our first Firestone Indy Lights Win!"While Veach will most likely not hang his high school diploma in Andretti Autosport's transporter this weekend inside the mile long oval on the grounds of the Wisconsin State Fair, he will be in charge of hanging the Milwaukee Mile's American Flag in celebration of his partnership with the Young Marines youth organization and Flag Day on Fri., June 14 as an honorary Young Marine.
He'd also love to hang his hat on his first career pole position from 2011 at The Milwaukee Mile by benchmarking that into his first career Firestone Indy Lights pole come this weekend.
He'll have his first shot to work towards that when the course opens for official practice on Thurs., June 13 at 10:00 a.m. central, followed by three additional practice sessions before he'll compete for the Sonoco Pole Award on Fri., June 14 at 3:30 p.m. central.
He'll then look for his first Firestone Indy Lights win during the 100-lap race on Sat., June 15 at 1 p.m. central, which will include comprehensive television coverage from NBC Sports Network via same-day tape delay at 2:00 p.m. central. SiriusXM channel 211 will also provide coverage. For exact television and radio times, please check local listings.
Late last month, Veach made his first race start on the famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval, opening for the IZOD IndyCar Series hallmark event, the Indianapolis 500. The forth-year Andretti Autosport veteran placed fifth, matching his best career Indy Lights finish of the season, following a fifth-place finish on the Streets of St. Petersburg during the season-opening round.
This weekend, Veach enters the first back-to-back oval events of the 2013 season and should he borrow from 2010 where he put in two top-five results or from 2011 where he placed second, he will continue his growth pattern in the "Mazda Road to Indy" developmental ladder system. The teen is quick to admit that ovals are his true love, so he is confident that he can get his best start and finish of the season at the Milwaukee Mile. He currently is ranked eighth in the series point's standings in Indy Lights.
The Milwaukee IndyFest will feature a bevy of open-wheel racing series, including IndyCar, Indy Lights and the Pro Mazda series, which Veach competed in in 2012 but which did not compete at the Milwaukee Mile.
K12, the nation's largest provider of proprietary curriculum and online education programs for students in kindergarten through high school, just awarded Veach his school diploma and will continue this weekend as his primary sponsor. Supplementary backing will be from the Young Marines, a youth education and service program for boys and girls, age 8 through completion of high school.
Additionally Veach's Firestone Indy Lights effort is also supported by: ADS IT Solutions, Zakosi Data Backup, Replay XD, OMP, Bell Helmets, Got Chocolate Milk?, and Art Rotondo.
With team owner Michael Andretti, who is a five-time Milwaukee Mile winner, guiding young Veach, the Milwaukee Mile may very well be the home of his first Indy Lights win.

Lapped in the luxurious abundance of the beauty of the nature, the village of Subrahmanya, lies in the Sullia Taluk in South Kannada with a sanctity, which very few places can boast of. The village is on the banks of the river 'Kumaradhara'. In the heart of the village, the temple of Lord Subrahmanya is located. Nature reveals herself in all her unhidden beauty in the rivers, forests and mountains which the temple is surrounded by.
Subrahmanya has quite a few temples within close proximity, but the main temple is Subrahmanya Temple which houses the Snake God, Vasuki and Lord Subrahmanya. The temple is set against the Kumara Parvatha hills and pilgrims have to cross the nearby Kumaradhara River and take a holy dip in it before paying their obedience to the God. According to Hindu mythology, Lord Kumaraswamy came to this place after killing the demon rulers Taraka, Shoorapadmasura and others in a war; and Lord washed his Shakti Ayudha (a battle-axe in the shape of a bayonet) in this river. From then onwards, the river is known as Kumaradhara. Subrahmanya used to be called as Kukke Pattana in the past. In the 'Shankara Vijaya' Anandagiri observes that Sri Shankaracharya camped here for a few days during his Digvijaya (religious expedition). Shankaracharya referred to this place as 'Bhaje Kukke Lingam' in his 'Subrahmanya Bhujangaprayata Stotram'. Kukke Subrahmanya is a religious destination and also a tourist spot. One will enjoy nature's beauty and the treks through lush green forests and hills.

Can someone tell me how should I know if an opamp is oscillating? what should I see on scope? (I'm talking about high frequency oscillation, not audio range) Should I check with high frequency input signal? Thanx, Udi. |

Just look for a high frequency sinewave on the output. It could be at many MHz and quite a low level, so set the scope to a small timebase.
If it's only slightly unstable then it might need an input signal to set it oscillating. A square wave is good for that, since it contains a broad range of frequencies. Also look for ringing on the square wave at the output: A lot of ringing is a sign of instability.

Does it mean that I need a high bandwith oscilloscope in order to know if my preamp/amp is doing ok?? what should be the bandwith of scope - 1,10,100 mhz??? cause its far beyond audio range, how much does it really matters if my amp is oscillating at 1 mhz, etc?? how does it affect the sound? Thanks, Udi.

A 1MHz scope is not fast enough. 10MHz should catch most problems. 100MHz is more than fast enough for just about everything.
As for the problems caused by oscillation: Increased heat, reduced headroom, impossible to set bias, RFI (the oscillating equipment will both radiate interference and conduct it back out through the mains). It may be immediately audible as a high pitched squeal, or if not it may be indirectly audible as fuzzy treble, crackling etc.

Faster OPAMPs like the AD797 like to oscillate around 500MHz - this oscillation can be less then a 1mV, making it very hard to see on a normal scope.
Elevated / unstable noise floor in an audio band FFT normally a sure sign things are unstable higher up in the spectrum... I use a RF spectrum Analyzer to check Audio OPAMPs are not singing there little hearts out up in the MHz region. You would be surprised how many audio products I've come across that have HF oscillations - value gear is even worst - people seem to have forgotten the art of "Grid Stopper" resistors - small, say 100R resistors fitted in series as near as possible to the Grids. I would say 40% of value gear I've measured is unstable in RF band. Values, like MOSFETs are HF devices - poor PCB layout, combined with high drive impedances almost guarantee oscillation issues. If youre using the new fast breed of OPAMPs be weary of oscillation issues hunting down a HP3585 40MHz Spectrum analyzers a good start Best of luck, John

A lot of Girl Scout cookies set sail on Tuesday with some happy Navy sailors.
The Girl Scouts of Gateway Council donated about 400 cases of cookies to Naval Air Station Jacksonville, the gift coming one month after its 1,200-case donation to Second Harvest Food Bank to be combined with its regular food donations.
Girl Scouts CEO Mary Anne Jacobs joined some scouts to distribute the cookies at Fleet Readiness Center Southeast, an aviation maintenance facility at the naval air station on Roosevelt Boulevard. The donations come on top of the 1,190,424 boxes sold in 2013 by 7,119 Girl Scouts in the Gateway Council's 16-county area.

Negotiations with the Scranton teachers union have moved into the fact-finding process, much to the surprise of the school board president.
Board President Kathleen McGuigan said she only learned about the latest step in the stalled negotiations after a district employee called Wednesday to ask her why some school directors were in the Administration Building.
Directors Robert Casey, Cy Douaihy and Armand Martinelli were there to meet with the state-appointed arbitrator. Mrs. McGuigan was not invited.
"I'm the board president, and I don't even know about this," she said. "It's very frustrating to try to pull this board together when I'm the president and I'm being left out of the loop."
Wednesday's fact-finding session comes after weeks of fighting among board members, including allegations of secret meetings, nepotism and harassment of administrators. Superintendent William King resigned last week, effective in October, after being targeted by the board majority.
Mrs. McGuigan, a member of the minority, also questioned whether Mr. Casey, Mr. Douaihy and Mr. Martinelli should be involved in negotiations. Mr. Douaihy and Mr. Martinelli are retired Scranton teachers, and Mr. Douaihy's wife, Mr. Martinelli's daughter and Mr. Casey's mother are all Scranton teachers.
Director Kyle Donahue, who is chairman of the board's budget and finance committee, also said he did not know the district was in fact finding.
"They picked a good three to be there," he said of the directors at Wednesday's meeting. "It's the three members with the most conflict."
Mr. Casey, who said his mother's position has no effect on his role in negotiations, said he attended the meeting after receiving a call from solicitor John Minora on Tuesday night. Mr. Casey said he and the other directors were not in the room when both parties presented their sides to the arbitrator, and instead, only listened when the arbitrator came into the back room to speak to the directors and members of the district's negotiating team, including the deputy superintendent of finance and Mr. Minora.
"We stayed out of it," Mr. Casey said. "The fact not all the directors got a phone call was not known by me."
Fact finding is initiated when the two parties cannot come to an agreement. The state-appointed arbitrator is expected to have his report completed by the end of July, and if both sides accept it, the report will become the basis for a contract. The current contract expires at the end of August, and salary remains the major obstacle.
Arbitrator Walter Glogowski said board members are often present during fact finding so that if a breakthrough is made, it can be authorized by the board. He said that within the last week, he asked the district for board members to be present.
Mr. Minora said he called some board members Tuesday night and invited them to the meeting, He said he was "fairly certain" he discussed the fact-finding process during an executive session last month. He said that he only called directors on Tuesday who probably did not have to work on Wednesday.
"I didn't get in touch with everyone," Mr. Minora said. "I'm not trying to ignore people. I'm not trying to offend anyone. ... I'm just trying to do my job."
Mr. Martinelli said he only listened during Wednesday's meeting, and said he saw no conflict of interest with being involved in negotiations. He refused to disclose the name of the person who invited him to attend the meeting. Efforts to reach Mr. Douaihy were unsuccessful Wednesday.
Mr. Casey also said that on Wednesday he checked with the Pennsylvania State Ethics Commission about whether he could participate in negotiations. Robin M. Hittie, chief counsel of the commission, told The Times-Tribune she could not give the paper an opinion, but a Times-Tribune review of previous rulings found that school directors are allowed to be part of the negotiation process as long as their family member is affected in the same way as other union members.

Subjects taught at LSE | Services and divisions (administration)
All research groups | Research subject areas
It is commonly supposed that children are unreliable informants. While designing and conducting research with children takes care, so does research with adults. Parents, for example, are subject to considerable biases (social desirability, third person bias, etc) when reporting on their children's media use; teachers also may provide a partial and overly positive account of children's activities in class. Every effort must be made to address the possible circumstances that might undermine children's responses in research (as reiterated throughout this guide). But the notion of children as unreliable must be traded against the benefits of direct questions to children. Who else can report on what a child does with media when alone, or in their bedroom, or how they feel about violent content, or what pressure they feel from their friends? A useful principle, therefore, is to assume that each child is capable of providing valid and insightful information, provided that s/he is approached appropriately and that the data are interpreted carefully.
In qualitative interviews, one has the chance to address inconsistencies and contradictions in what children might say. Thus one should check for misunderstandings, verify interpretations and explore contradictions in what children say, to check if this indicates experienced ambiguities and ambivalences. In surveys, piloting the questionnaire is vital to ensure reliability, as is taking care to understand the reasons for lots of missing values on a question, or comments scribbled or muttered during the interview, or peculiar results that suggest a misunderstanding has arisen. There are four main problems survey respondents face - s/he doesn't understand the question, s/he doesn't know the answer, s/he cannot recall it, and s/he doesn't want to report the answer. Therefore, good research practice should anticipate and seek to eliminate these problems to increase validity:
Forgetting to pilot all research materials. Failing to use the interview situation to clarify possible interpretations of what children say, or to clarify whether inconsistencies and contradictions are the result of methodological confusions or the genuine ambiguities and ambivalences in their lifeworlds.
Section in D4.1 (Lobe et al., 2007) on reliability.
Zaman (Zaman, 2005) combines observations of children playing electronic games in natural environments with observations in controlled settings (in the usability lab), allowing her to get a more accurate picture of children's actual gaming behaviour. She argues that children must not only be observed while exploring and playing a game, but they must also be given the chance to express their opinions and perceptions. In order to fulfil these two objectives, Zaman employs different techniques that allow her to evaluate the usability of the game being tested. These include (1) the "think aloud" method, in which children are asked to provide a running commentary as they play a game (taking into account non-verbal responses also, if possible); (2) the "active intervention" method, in which the researcher 'actively intervenes' by asking relevant questions during the task performance (but only after children have explored the game at their own pace first); and (3) the "laddering" method, in which the researcher asks users why they like or dislike something; when the user answers, the researcher asks 'why' again; this process results in a list of connected elements: 'a ladder', at the end of which the personal value(s) of the user will be revealed. (Veronica Donoso, Belgium)
In our research, asking children to write an essay proved to be reliable - as evidenced by the wide range of viewpoints on sensitive political issues, instances of political incorrectness and the use of slang, all of which can be interpreted as a sign of pupils' frankness. What children produce may provide answers to questions not foreseen by researchers at the beginning of the study. The same strengths, and even greater possibilities, obviously characterise what children produce online as a data source. (Veronika Kalmus, Estonia)

For this follow-up, Guillemots adopt a more direct approach than on the overly sensitive Through the Windowpane. In place of the lavish orchestrations that bookended their debut, Red starts with the synthetic fanfare that opens "Kriss Kross", a lumbering funk-rock groove imploring one to "dance with your thunder and lightning".
It's the first of several big riffs that sound like an attempt to bring in a more stadium-sized character, notably "Last Kiss" and "Get Over It", respectively reproachful and dismissive responses to emotional turmoil.
But, as if to balance this out, the band strive elsewhere to accentuate their songs' subtleties by adorning them with instrumental colour – the twinkly soukous-style guitar on "Standing on the Last Star", the plucked-string effect that livens up "Clarion", and, most irritatingly, the drum'n'bass patina that gets in the way of "Don't Look Down".
Fyfe Dangerfield sounds worryingly like James Blunt when he's not sounding worryingly like George Michael, but the band's core epic-rock sound is alive and well on "Words" and "Take Me Home".

Gorgeous pair of vintage, salmon pink, Hollywood Regency ginger jar lamps available on Etsy here. Very Dorothy Draper. I am thinking black lampshades would be fabulous. Only $125 plus shipping. These lamps are quite large, and would be a striking and dramatic addition to an entryway table, dining room sideboard, sofa table, or large bedroom dresser.

- - 15 inch Hereford saddle for sale $300
15 inch Hereford saddle for sale $300 This saddle is an older Hereford brand work saddle, has a suede seat that is in really good shape, all conchos are there, and has a rear cinch. 15 inch seat, full quarter horse bars. Measures 7 inches across the gullet. Does not come with girth or pad. Is fairly light weight for its age (back then most saddles weighed a ton). Only selling this saddle because the seat is too small for me. May trade for a 16 inch FQHBs saddle of similar quality. Will not trade for synthetic. $300 + shipping. Shipping will be via parcel post and should cost around $30 to most places in the US. International shipping not available, sorry. I accept paypal, checks, and post office money orders. I will not ship before the check or money order clears my bank, which can take up to 10 days. Lots of pictures can be seen here: https://picasaweb.google.com/1018585...eat=directlink |
Err! If only those jockeys weren't suede. Posted via Mobile Device |
They do look kind of weird, but they really help hold you in the saddle! |
nice saddle This is a nice looking saddle - if only it had Semi-Quarter Horse Bars! The mustangs I ride don't fit Full QHB very well. |
Is the fleecing in good shape? And how much do you think it weighs? |
I am not sure how much it weighs, but its pretty light for a leather western saddle. The fleeces is in really good shape. |
Nice looking saddle QHD, love the old Hereford's. If I were in the market for another, I'd definitely snatch it up. Would be great for colt starting! |
Okay so a couple of people have looked at this saddle and are saying they think its actually semi quarter horse bars. I have it on consignment and apparently the tag they put on it says its regular qh bars. What's the difference between regular and full? And how do I tell if its semi? I don't want to mislead anybody. Posted via Mobile Device |
932 Attachment(s) Usually...And I say usually because every brand of saddle could have different meanings of what FULL QH bars are as opposed to semi and regular. So, Usually... Full QH - 7" Regular QH - 6-1/2" Semi QH - 6" And yes...That 1/2" can make all the difference between a great, trustworthy horse and your butt in the dirt. ;-) |

It's clear that the Washington Nationals have turned the corner as a franchise on the rise. Their most recent high included a 2012 campaign that had them winning 98 games in the regular season, good for the most in the majors, but ended with heartbreak in a game 5 loss in the NLDS at the hands of the St. Louis Cardinals. Moving forward to 2013, the Nationals will certainly hope to make it deeper into the playoffs, but it will be easier said than done. The Nationals have shown patience in the past, but have made some aggressive moves this off-season.

Donatello - AnswerRemember the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? I made this maze of Donatello when I was in 7th grade. Just because he isn't in color doesn't mean that he's not the purple turtle. | |
Bullet Bill - AnswerThis maze was also drawn when I was in the 7th Grade. I had a fascination for the Super Mario Brothers back then. | |
The United States of America - AnswerThis was a drawing that I did in 8th grade for a writing/picture contest. I can't remember what place I got, but I recieved $10 for it! Whoopie~! |
The Skull Maze - AnswerI'm not exactly sure when I made this maze, but it was during highscool. I was influenced by a friend named Bob. |
Beautifully Crafted - AnswerI'm pretty sure I drew this in my Sophomore because of my fond liking of the Secret of Mana. |
The Fearless Warrior - AnswerI did this one my Junior year and made I made the grid a little smaller to add a greater challenge. It seems everyone just gives up and nobody makes it thru. |
Where's Mr. LemmingThis is one of my favorites, it took me about a year to draw, but I didn't work on it constantly. Typing up the imagemap for it took me a lot of hours, so you'd better like this one!

Robbins , et al. | October 21, 1997 |
A LWD tool is disclosed for detecting the existence of and distance to adjacent bed boundaries. A transmitter assembly generates either a short acoustic pulse or a swept frequency signal that is detected by an associated receiver assembly. The received signal(s) are conditioned and converted to high precision digital signals by an A/D converter. The digitized signals are accumulated and transferred to a digital signal processor via a high speed data bus. The digital signal processor also receives a digital signal representing the transmission signal and compares the transmission signal and the received signals together to enable a downhole microprocessor to derive a time lag for the received signals. The microprocessor can transmit the time lag signal to the surface via a mud pulse for real-time control, or can operate as part of a closed loop drilling system to automatically control inclination of the drilling assembly to stay within, or to enter, a pay zone based upon the time lag associated with the received signals, and the measured speed of sound of the formation. In one embodiment, the receivers in the receiver array are steered to investigate various volume cells in the formation. A time delay is determined based on the volume cell, which is used to align and sum the received signals. The maximum sum value then is used as indicative of a bed boundary in that particular volume call.

but nothing seems to be working at all. She's doing terribly in school and only finds peace while playing her guitar or studying music. And to top it all off, her father forces her to go to Paris with him on a business trip, wherehe's performing a DNA study on a preserved human heart to see if it's the son of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Andi knows she is going to be bored and eager to continue her plan to end her life.
All of the good things aside, I thought the book was way too long and the mood so dark I could only read the book in small doses (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, just something I wanted to note). Donnelly obviously does her job as an author quite well, as I honestly felt depressed after reading the book. Andi's sadness just pours off the page and her emotional state is ultimately transferred the the reader. Well done, but hard to read in long stretches.

TRAILER: Moonrise Kingdom
I'd not heard of this movie until I saw the trailer earlier. Now I'm totally hooked and want to know more!
Can the movie be as wacky and intriguing as these two minutes?

Next I stitched an open zip to the acetate panel........painted the space inside the zip with black paint......stamped QUEEN OF LIFE (one of my all time fav Stampotique images) onto card, coloured and cut out and added in the space...
....added embellishments.......am liking these paper brollies just now!.......leaf pins and press studs.......large stamped buttons from BUTTON CUBE stitched in place.....
I like the zip idea, will be using that again!
Stampotique stamps are available in the UK from

Her familiar? As in the butterfly? The fae or whatever she is looks very lovely though. I am in love with her orangey-brown hair and her interesting pose. I also like her creamy/peachy/morganite wings, clothing and the background. 5/5h and favorites.
WOWOW -- This is sooo soooo sooo GORGEOUS!! What a wonderful magical drawing!! 5/5

The Atlantic hurricane season is like the baseball season. Officially, it officially begins in the spring. Every year, the fans get all riled up for opening day. They then spend the subsequent months disappointed by the lack of drama and begin calling for the team to fire its manager (or hurricane forecaster). When the summer starts to wind down, the fans are reminded, once again, that all the big (ok, regular season) games tend to happen in late August and September.
With a trail of wreckage from Dean and Felix bearing down on Honduras and Belize (right), once again we're being reminded that hurricane activity often peaks right around now. Not in June, the time of the first peak in hurricane media coverage. Not in July, when everyone starts whining about the hurricane forecast. It happens in late August and September, when ocean temperatures in the tropical north Atlantic and the Caribbean tend to peak.
Coral bleaching events also happen during the annual peak in sea surface temperatures (SSTs). There are key differences, of course. Bleaching is driven largely by anomalously warm SSTs; UV light levels play a crucial role as well, although since the two variables tend to be correlated, temperature is a decent proxy. Hurricanes, on the other hand, are driven by a variety of factors, of which, the SSTs are only one.
You could say the ongoing furor over human-induced climate change in hurricane activity - the subject of Chris Mooney's recent book - is centered on this problem. The climate change --> warmer SSTs link is more or less straight-forward to test. The warmer SSTs --> more intense or more frequent storms is not. So, for example, the role of climate change in the 2005 Caribbean bleaching event, as we did in the paper published earlier this year, can be evaluated with more certainty than evaluating the role of climate change in the 2005 hurricane season.
While the SST link to hurricanes is more complicated than that to coral bleaching, it is not a complete surprise that strong hurricanes and coral bleaching events often occur in the same places each year. This year, there's been bleaching off Oman, near the region hit by Cyclone Gonu; in northern Madagascar, an area hit by a sequence of cyclones; in Okinawa, near the areas where typhoons have passed. So, the NOAA Coral Reef Watch data products like the Hotspot or DHW animations give a picture of the development of bleaching events and also a very rough idea of places that have experienced major hurricanes (try comparing the animations to this Google map of strong 2007 hurricanes). You can see that although thermal stress on corals is too low in much of the central and southern Caribbean where Dean and Felix have passed to cause coral bleaching, but temperatures are still above normal.
Like other odd couples, the combination of a coral bleaching event and a hurricane can be an utter disaster for the inhabitants of the area (e.g., corals weakened or killed by bleaching are then broken apart by the wave activity). A paper published earlier this year found an example of an opposite effect; cold water upwelling caused by the passage of hurricanes in 2005 reduced the thermal pressure on corals in the US Virgin Islands. Of course, the 2005 hurricanes and the bleaching were both driven by the warm water, so perhaps we would not have had one event without the other.

The odd couple: hurricanes and coral bleaching

Update: Hurricane Felix made landfall near the Honduras / Nicaragua border. The good news is few people live in that region -- the original Mosquito Coast. The bad news is the storm may bring heavy rains and mudslides to more populated regions inland.
