MANUFACTURER: Bushnell
Review This Item
The BUSHNELL Scout 1000 ARC Laser Rangefinder, Camo (201942) is a small, accurate instrument for measuring distances at the golf course, in the woods, or at a firing range. It provides accurate distance measurement from 5 to 1,000 yards with plus or minus one yard accuracy.
Scout 1000 with Angle Range Compensation (ARC) figures distance based on terrain angle to give you accurate "shoot-like" distance. Extreme up- and downhill angles alter true horizontal distance to your target. ARC accounts for the terrain angle when calculating distance, so you know precisely how to shoot the range. No guesswork. Just backstraps.
Rifle Mode tells you where to hold. When you range your target, an inclinometer displays the angle and provides bullet-drop/holdover in inches (up to 199) from 100 to 800 yards. Bow Mode provides true horizontal distance from 5 to 99 yards based on angle. With selectable Bow and Rifle Modes, this laser range finder Bushnell has the same capability some competitors need to split into two separate units.
Scan Mode continuously updated LCD display of the distance between you and your target. BullsEye Mode acquires the distances of small targets and game without inadvertently measuring background target distances. When more than one object is acquired, the closer of the two objects is shown on the LCD display. Brush Mode ignores the foreground, such as brush, boulders and tree branches, and provides distances on the LCD display to background objects only.
The Bushnell Scout 1000 ARC Laser Rangefinder features a RainGuard HD water-repellent lens coating. Thanks to RainGuard, a wet lens or a misguided breath that would fog conventional glass will never cost you a view. This patented, permanent, water-repellent coating causes moisture from rain, snow, sleet and condensation to bead up and scatter less light, so you get a clear, bright view when other optics would be rendered useless.
The Scout 1000 is lightweight and super-compact. Only 6.8 oz., but it packs a heavyweight punch of hunting performance. It's simple to use, loaded with ballistic capability, rainproof and small enough to fit in your shirt pocket.

In this edition of "The Making Of" we take a look at our new Signature Collection and how it went from just an idea to an exquisitely crafted piece of stationery. Engraved and paired with envelope liners imported from India, this collection is one that should only find its way into the hands of the most appreciative stationery connoisseur.
The Signature Collection began as inspiration from a far away land. If you have traveled to the Far East, it was our creative team's hope that the designs would take you back. If you haven't been, the rich culture they have re-created via correspondence will certainly inspire you to make the trip.
First, the team curated a color palette. Red and gold, the iconic colors of Asia, serve as the core hues while shades of aqua were pulled from nature and Asian artwork.
Next, the team selected eight iconic symbols in Asian culture to feature, drawing especially from nature and selecting ones that signify prosperity, good luck and perseverance.
The resulting collection is one in which fiery foo dogs guard your most treasured sentiments…
dazzling koi fish swim next to nuanced notes…
and regal butterflies take their postal perch.
"Each motif tells a story, and each liner was especially selected for each design," said VP of Creative and Product Development Rachel V. Ivey of the Signature Collection. "With all the time and effort that went into the details, I hope each box falls into the hands of someone ready for a journey."

Pores appear as small openings in the surface of your skin and are usually most apparent in the T-zone - the forehead, nose and chin. Pore size is largely fixed and determined by your genes, and may become larger with age or repeated sun exposure. Pores can also appear larger and more noticeable when they become clogged with dirt, oil and dead skin cells making an effective cleansing and exfoliation regimen essential to keep pores clean and minimizing their appearance.
While pore size is largely fixed, you can take steps to make them appear significantly smaller.
To keep your skin looking clear and minimize the appearance of large pores, look for product formulations with oil-absorbing alpha or beta hydroxy acids that loosen and remove dead surface skin and smooth over rough uneven patches, which can accentuate pore size making them appear larger. This can help prevent pores from clogging and leave skin looking clearer, smooth and more even toned. Also, products that contain retinol, a form of vitamin A, are also beneficial to smooth skin's overall appearnce.1 However, some products with retinol may make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Therefore, always use an oil-free, broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15.
Finally, if you use makeup, start with a light application of oil-free foundation in a matte finish. Shiny skin coupled with too much foundation may actually make your pores look more prominent. Control shine throughout the day with blotting sheets or freshen up your foundation with a dusting of translucent powder. The tiny, weightless particles prevent color pigments from building up around the edges of your pores to reduce their visibility.
We recommend that you consult your dermatologist or physician for proper diagnosis and treatment.

- W.A.Mozart Clavier Concerte 18 & 19
Concerto 18 B flat major KV 456 Composed: Vienna, before 30 September 1784 Mozart is 28 years old. 1784, 18 August, Vienna (letter to Nannerl Mozart) "And so, now accept a little counsel, straight from my poetic cranium; just listen: You will experience much as a married woman which will seem half a mystery to you soon you will know from experience what Eve had to do so that she later gave birth to Cain. But, Sister, these connubial duties you will be only too glad to perform. For, believe me, they are not onerous. Still, everything has two sides: Marriage certainly brings much joy, only it brings sorrow as well. So if your husband scowls at you in a way that you don't think you deserve when he's in a bad temper: remember that it's just his mood, and say to yourself: My lord and master, thy will be done by day---and mine by night!" 1792 First posthumous publication, Andr, Offenbach. CONCERTO 19 F Major KV 459 Composed: Vienna, before 11 December 1784 Mozart is 28 years old. 1790, 8 October, Frankfurt am Main "Tomorrow is the coronation take care of your health--and be careful when you go out.--adieu" 1790, 15 October, Frankfurt am Main (Akademie) "as far as my reputation goes, [it was] wonderful, but financially pretty meagre results" 1794 First posthumous publication Andr, Offenbach. On the title page: [in French] "This concerto was performed by the composer at Frankfurt am Main on the occasion of the coronation of Emperor Leopold II" Concerning the use of the doctrine of musical figures in Mozart's concerti Part four In the accompanying notes to the third, fourth and fifth recordings (CCS 0990, CCS 1791, CCS 1891) in this series of the complete piano concerti of Mozart, I wrote of my first investigative steps in the realm of rhetoric, the importance of rhetoric and the doctrine of musical figures, and above all of the significance which this material has for the performing musician. I also discussed 44 figures which gave emphasis or demanded attention by means of repetition, interruptions, displacements, contrasts, changes of form, or changes of voice/tessitura. In this third section, I want to discuss an additional 10 figures, concluding with 3 particularly special figures. ...

IMMERSEEL, JOS VAN - fortepiano
W.A. Mozart Clavier-Concerte no.18 & 19 Jos van Immerseel, fortepiano & Anima Eterna, orchestra Clavier-Concerte 18, KV 456 in B flat & 19, KV 459 in F (period performance)
Jos van Immerseel and the orchestra 'Anima Eterna' On the 7th december 1979, critic Roger Hofmans of the Standaard, Brussels, wrote the following review of van Immerseel's Clementi recording: "van Immerseel forces you to listen; his articulation is daring, intuitively musical, and the ornaments that belong to the essence of this music have a sculptured relief, and the virtuoso passagework comes from the keys with the greatest ease. Whoever has not had the chance to hear van Immerseel on historic keyboard instruments, has no idea of the subtle nuances of sound that they possess. Van Immerseel makes Clementi's sonatas more exciting than those of Mozart, but perhaps he will accomplish the same with the sonatas of that great man from Salzburg". Ten years later, on the 6th of March 1990 the NRC Handelsblad, Rotterdam wrote: "In the "Andantino" of Mozart's Jeunehomme Konzert, it was a true wonder how he was able to reach the furthest corners of the Great Hall of the Concertgebouw and touch his listeners hearts with pianissimo passages....". Trouw wrote on the 7th March: "Jos van Immerseel was trained as pianist on the modern piano and feels at ease the literature for that instrument. At on early stage however, he chose not to utilize his capacities to the end of a fast career as a piano virtuoso, and decided to examine the piano's development through all it's stages of development fitting the contemporary literature. This combination of all round and highly talented keyboard player with knowledgable musical insight of the piano of Mozart's time, make him an artist who can compete with the great interpreters of Mozart on the Steinway". The orchestra 'Anima Eterna' was founded in 1987 and is composed of top musicians from 12 countries. They all perform on classic instruments utilizing the same techniques as those used during Mozart's time. The musicians were chosen not only on the basis of their professional qualities, but also for their musical intensity and 'spirituality'. Source of inspiration and mentor of the orchestra is concertmaster Marc Destrub from Vancouver, Canada. Utrechts Nieuwsblad, september 1989: "Here one finds clearly thought out and responsable playing on authentic instruments combined with a large measure of natural ease and musicality". Volkskrant, 7th march 1990: "Refreshing, spiritual and full of surprises". Chr. Lelie in Trouw, 4th september 1990: "Anima Eterna can be placed on the same line with the orchestras of Norrington, Brggen or Hogwood. Van Immerseel and his orchestra have a totally different approach. The most catching is the mild tone of the string section." Algemeen Dagblad, 7th march 1990: "It is absolutely certain that Anima Eterna has all the necessary qualities to become an orchestra of world format".

Mildred Anne Butler (1858-1941)The Lilac Phlox, Kilmurry, Co. Kilkenny, 1912
Watercolour on paper, 36.1 x 54 cm Purchased, 1981NGI.7954
Mildred Anne Butler was born at Kilmurry, near Thomastown, Co. Kilkenny, and spent most of her life living and painting in this tranquil and picturesque area. During the year 1885, she travelled widely in Europe. Later she studied briefly under William Calderon, an animal painter, and also at the painters' colony in Newlyn, Cornwall. She was introduced to plein-air painting by the Limerick-born artist Norman Garstin (1847-1926). The artist began exhibiting her work in London and in Ireland in the 1890s and was elected an associate of the Royal Watercolour Society in 1896, becoming a member in 1937. Her subject matter is drawn from the countryside and is evocative of the quiet harmony of her surroundings in Kilkenny.

Everything you need to know about today's media coverage of Israel and the Mideast.
Was Khader Adnan's hunger strike a victory for Palestinian non-violent resistance? Is the Syrian army's use of the world's largest mortar shells against Homs a war crime? And how significant are budding Golan Druze protests against Assad?
Israel and the Palestinians
• Everybody picked up on Khader Adnan ending his hunger strike. Take your pick of NY Times, BBC, or AP.
• In a NY Times op-ed, Mustafa Barghouti declares Khader Adnan's hunger strike a victory for Palestinian non-violence.
Iranian Atomic Urgency
• In a Times of London column (paywall), Anatole Kaletsky argues against an Israeli strike on Iran. After sifting through various issues, Kaletsky concludes on this surprising note:
Israel, with a population of only seven million, would proclaim by its actions that it considers the hundreds of millions of Muslims living around it as permanent and implacable military enemies. It is this attitude, far more than any nuclear programme, that poses the real "existential threat" to Israel's long-term survival.
Uh, Ahmadinejad hasn't made repeated calls to wipe out the hundreds of millions of Muslims living around Israel.
But if it's any consolation to Kaletsky, he's joined in fretting by Seumas Milne (The Guardian print edition) and by the tag team of Richard Silverstein and Muhammad Sahimi (Christian Science Monitor).
• Jerusalem's conundrum: By being too vocal with the US about stepping up pressure on Iran, Israel risks "owning" the problem. Former diplomat Itamar Rabinovich's advice?
Israel would therefore be wise to reinforce its pressure on the US administration with a broader diplomatic campaign. Like it or not, Israel must urge the world to remember that Iran is everyone's problem.
Spring Winter
• New details on Syrian war crimes emerge as rights groups say Assad is using the world's largest shells against Homs. The Christian Science Monitor writes:
From Peter Bouckaert, a senior researcher for Human Rights Watch, comes an indication why the death toll has been steadily climbing in Homs. He says a video from Homs that shows the fragments of a mortar the struck a building there is proof that Assad has deployed the Russian-made "Tulip" weapons system against the town, which fires the largest mortar round in any military's arsenal. The tank-like vehicle that serves as the firing platform can lob 240mm mortar rounds up to 20 kilometers away, and they carry over 70 pounds of explosives. The largest mortar used by the US, in contrast, is 160mm . . . .
The Tulip was designed for use against dug in positions from a standoff distance. But its lethality has been used in the past to bring devastation to civilian neighborhoods, most famously by the Russians during the siege of the Chechen capital of Grozny over a decade ago, where thousands of civilians were killed and hundreds of buildings reduced to rubble. The use of such weapons in dense urban environments is a war crime.
• Reuters reports two Western journos killed in the shelling of Homs today. Marie Colvin, a US national, was a correspondent for the Sunday Times of London. In the 80s and 90s, she was the Times's Jerusalem correspondent. The shelling also killed French photographer Remi Ochlik and injured two other journalists. According to AFP, 31 civilians were killed on Tuesday.
• A Syrian blogger who posted on YouTube graphic images from Homs was killed in an arm shelling. The Lede has lots of links and video about Rami al-Sayed.
• A Times of London staff-ed wants Bashar Assad prosecuted for crimes against humanity in Homs.
• Elliott Abrams: It's time to make Assad's ouster a US policy goal and "encourage the arming and funding of the opposition."
The problem is that our speeches and even our sanctions have not helped defend the people of Syria against Assad's bullets . . .
Because the real questions in Syria now are who will win and how long will this take. We ought to find an Assad victory (or perhaps one should say an Assad, Russian, Chinese, Iranian, and Hezbollah victory) unacceptable. Moreover, we should avoid the false moral equivalence that leads people to say, "Oh, don't arm anyone, just call for a ceasefire." As in Darfur or Kosovo, such calls are in reality an abandonment of people fighting against oppression.
• These protests may be small in comparison to other places, but AP finds Golan's Druze community starting to openly demonstrate against Assad:
But the very act of stepping into the square is a major departure for the Golan's 20,000-member Druse community, which historically has been extremely reluctant to openly criticize the autocratic Assad family that has ruled Syria for the past four decades.
Some, particularly older residents who remember the days of Syrian rule, maintain a strong affinity for Syria. Others feared they might be harmed if the territory is ever returned to Syria, or had concerns that the Syrian regime would retaliate against relatives across the frontier.
But faced with the mounting scope of carnage in Syria, where thousands of people, mostly civilians, are believed to have been killed in an 11-month uprising against Assad, small numbers of Golan Druse are bringing their criticism out in the open.
• Hmmmm. According to the WSJ, Iraqi tribes are in a bind over helping kinsmen on the Syrian side of the border fight Assad.
But their leaders worry that an expanding cross-border arms trade here is re-energizing a radical group they say they have only just brought under relative control—al Qaeda in Iraq.
• Lenny Ben-David: Syria's arsenal of unconventional weapons must be destroyed.
Rest O' the Roundup
• Voice of America tours the Israel-Egypt border fence under construction.

NAEYC becomes authorized provider of IACET CEUs
Prestigious authorization demonstrates commitment to high-quality lifelong learning
(WASHINGTON) – The International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) has awarded the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) the prestigious Authorized Provider status. IACET Authorized Providers are the only organizations approved to offer IACET Continuing Education Units (CEUs). The recognition period extends for five years and includes all programs offered or created during that time.
"NAEYC is proud of our education programs, which provide professional development opportunities each year in early childhood education so that educators of young children stay on the cutting edge," said Peter J. Pizzolongo, Senior Director for Professional Development. "Our new partnership with IACET is a demonstration of our commitment to lifelong learning and high standards for all of our programs, and we are very pleased to join an elite group of organizations that offer excellent continuing education and training programs."
"We are pleased to welcome NAEYC as our newest Authorized Provider organization," said Karen Brown, President of IACET and Senior HR Manager of Nuclear Power at Shaw Group in Massachusetts. "NAEYC joins nearly 650 organizations around the globe that have had their programs vetted by third-party experts in continuing education to ensure the highest possible standards are met."
NAEYC awards Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for three types of professional development programs.
Online self-paced learning:
- Developmentally Appropriate Practice and Intentionality
- Developmentally Appropriate Practice and Play
Face-to-face trainings:
- Communications Skills for Challenging Conversations: Training for Program Administrators
- Developmental Screening and Classroom-Based Assessment of Preschoolers: Training for Program Administrators
DVD-ROM, self-paced learning:
- HRM Journal: Human Resources Management in Early Childhood Programs
More information on NAEYC CEUs, as well as frequently asked questions, can be found at www.naeyc.org/ecp/ceu.
In order to achieve Authorized Provider status, NAEYC completed a rigorous application process, including a review by an IACET site visitor, and successfully demonstrated adherence to the ANSI/IACET 1-2007 Standard addressing the design, development, administration, and evaluation of its programs. NAEYC has pledged its continued compliance with the Standard and is now authorized to use the IACET name and Authorized Provider logo on promotional course material. In addition, NAEYC is now linked to the IACET website and is recognized as offering the highest quality continuing education and training programs.
The International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) is a nonprofit association dedicated to quality continuing education and training programs.

Family: Amaranthaceae, Amaranth view all from this family
Description Introduced. A usually aquatic plant that forms mats and is considered a noxious weed in the United States.
Flowers: globe-shaped, terminal flower heads, 1/2" (1.5 cm) diameter; white; papery.
Leaves: opposite; lance-shaped to elliptical; to 2 3/4" (7 cm) long.
Height: to 5' (1.5 m).
Flower Early spring to summer.
Habitat Lakes, ponds, watercourses, ditches, and terrestrial wetlands.
Range South America native; naturalized in the southeastern United States and California.
Discussion Alligatorweed is thought to have been accidentally introduced into the Southeast in ship ballast. It is an opportunist, colonizing both aquatic and terrestrial habitats, often to the detriment of native plants. By the mid-20th century thick mats of Alligatorweed had taken over acreage in the Southeast and California, clogging waterways and threatening natural habitats. An aggressive program of biological control was instituted by the Army Corps of Engineers; they began releasing three species of insects that feed on Alligatorweed into infested areas. The program has had significant successes (by one survey, infested acreage dropped from 97,000 acres to 1,000 in less than 20 years), and continued monitoring keeps Alligatorweed colonies in check.

Jersey Boys could so easily have been just another jukebox musical, with familiar hits strung together as predictably as notes on a scale. But as lucky patrons are appreciating at the Providence Performing Arts Center through September 2, the show is so much more, a collective biography with heart, high-voltage energy, and rockin' nostalgia.
This is the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, the '60s group that it took the Beatles to dethrone as the most popular group of its time, though its momentum has carried it through to this day. When the Four Seasons took off, they really took off, with three consecutive number one hits: "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," and "Walk Like a Man." They've sold 135 million records and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.
Jersey Boys opened on Broadway in 2005, with music by Bob Gaudio, lyrics by Bob Crewe, and book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, originally directed by Des McAnuff. There were numerous imaginative decisions behind making the musical such a grabber, the first being starting things off, at length, in French. It's Paris in 2000, and a French rap singer and his backup group are performing the number one hit at the time, "Ces Soirées-la," which we recognize as "December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)."
Tommy DeVito (Colby Foytik) steps out and says he's going to tell us how it all came about. In 1956, he explains, a kid in New Jersey had three ways out: join the Army, "get mobbed up," or become a singing success. Sounds like an easy choice. As well as being the organizer and manager, he played lead guitar for what would become the Four Seasons and recruited Nick Massi (Macioci at that point, played by Brandon Andrus) to add bass. Most rewardingly, he tapped Frankie Valli (Brad Weinstock/Hayden Milanes) for lead singer; he supplied a high falsetto that would soar above all the competition. He snatched keyboard player Bob Gaudio (Jason Kappus) from the Royal Teens, who hit Number 3 with "Short Shorts," written by Gaudio when he was 15. (He was suggested to DeVito by neighborhood guy Joe Pesci — yes, that Joe Pesci.)
They didn't become big out-of-the-box. DeVito had to tutor Francis Stephen Castelluccio . . . I mean, Valli, in singing. They went through several names, most prominently the Four Lovers. At first, producer Bob Crewe didn't sign them on for more than backup because, he said, they had an "identity crisis" about their kind of songs as well as their name.
As noted, this is more than a jukebox musical, but you're still going to hear all the songs you'd want to spend your quarters on. There are teenage crush songs that fixate on a single girl, such as "C'mon Marianne," "Ronnie," and "Candy Girl," their first big hit (boosted by an appearance on American Bandstand). And there are the songs that didn't fit into the pop cubbyholes of the time, such as the brazen "Walk Like a Man" and the gentle "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" (which was Valli's first solo hit).

The Propeller Group: Fusion (After a Universe of Collisions)
January 15, 2016, 10:00 am TO 8:00 pm
| Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis | Free
|Recurring Event (See all)
A multidisciplinary collective made up of the artists Phunam Thuc Ha, Tuan Andrew Nguyen, and Matt Lucero, The Propeller Group uses sophisticated digital tools to explore cultural and political phenomena. The group often crosses over into the commercial spheres of video production and even advertising, engaging the viral potential of mass media and pop culture to address sociopolitical issues in impactful ways. Recent projects have explored the musical and ritualistic affinities between Vietnamese funereal traditions and New Orleans second line processions, the celebrity status surrounding memorial images of Russian dictator Vladimir Lenin, and a commercial advertising campaign for the contemporary Communist Party.

Continuing from yesterdays post on the Start, Stop, and Continue process…
Here is the rest of my observations of this weekend… keep in mind this is the readers digest version."
As a Scoutmaster, I keep a lot of notes on the Troop, always trying to make things better and improve the program that we have. Keeping notes is a critical part of Scoutmastership.
So here is Stop and Continue.
Stop: Those things that we need to stop doing as they contribute nothing to the Troops plan.
Stop: Although our method of camping is that of a Backpacking style… we need to stop getting away from working as a Patrol. Meals, even cooked in "Buddy teams" should be prepared in a group setting. This will eliminate confusion and assist in meal preparation.
Stop: As a Troop we need to focus on getting camp established and spend less time initially goofing off. There was not much of that this camp out, but it always is worth mentioning. Some Patrols did better than others, and like I said there was not much in that regard. But the more focused we stay in camp set up, the more time we will have for fun and games later.

|Warmwater flyfishing Bass, pike and even muskies in your backyard
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Sounds like a good day of fishing.
I was having great luck for the past few weeks (one day I caught 8, and most of them were during work hours) but the recent rains have muddied up the water and I have gotten skunked for the past couple of days.
They are eating a bunch of caddis nymphs around here lately and respond well to such flies (a tip from Roughfish.com I read yesterday)
Good luck
9/13 -- Carp Stalker Scores!
With all this talk about carp fishing I just had to give it try despite the less-than-favorable sight fishing conditions. Because of the potential for cruddy weather I decided to leave the boat at home and wade the mucky banks of my favorite carp spot on the Housatonic River. I only fished for a few hours but managed to get four carp: two on an orange and purple "berry" fly and two on the Near Nuff Crawfish that I received in the fly swap. I had numerous refusals, but the fish that did hit literally pounced on the flies. Carp season is almost over in my neck of the woods, but I may have to give it another whirl next weekend -- especially if the weather deters me from heading to the coast!

and 10mf capacitor
Have you considered adding a software debounce ?
I drew what I call 'standard', sorry if not very clean drawing, and yes, I made a mistake, 10uF for sure!
QuoteHave you considered adding a software debounce ?It is a lot more tricky on an interrupt pin, because the delay is in the ISR which is never a good thing.
I was wondering whether a simple state machine could be embedded inside the isr to provide a form of software debounce nonetheless...
I drew what I call 'standard',
The existing 10uF is being shorted into the switch each time it closes creating a tiny spark, which may eventually erode the contacts if the switch is small.

You are here
More than 700 people (according to reported ticket sales) packed the French Quarter on Friday night for Palette Palate Stroll, the food and art fusion event hosted every summer by the Charleston Fine Arts Dealers' Association. This year, 13 galleries were paired with restaurants to offer guests a sample of the city's best canvases and cuisine.
The beet cured salmon served at the Ella Walton Richardson Gallery courtesy of Social ranked as my favorite among the savory fare (a close second was the lush summer bisque with stone crab prepared by Chef Sean Brock, who worked quickly to satisfy the crush of eager noshers that stretched all the way out the door). Meanwhile, the panna cotta crafted by Chef Kelly Wilson (Cypress) caused people at the Corrigan Gallery to moan with pleasure. I love it when folks sidle up to a chef with a quasi-earnest recipe inquiry although the real intention is to provide a chatty distraction while nabbing a second serving. You in the blue polka dots: busted!
These sort of events are prime time for the see-and-be-seen crowd, so many of the PYTs were dressed to the nines despite the wilting heat both on the street and inside most of the galleries. There was a delicious breeze blowing down Queen Street from the harbor, so I camped out on the corner of Queen and State for awhile and watched the cyclorama of party people file past. It didn't take long for Charleston's resident fashion maven, Ayoka Lucas, to appear amid the crowd (with trusty sidekick Brunson Stafford in tow). They were busy filming Street Style, so if fancy duds are your bag, check out their Friday night vlog (http://www.charlestonmag.com/blogs/style).
Although flip flops were the obvious pick for the eponymous Flip Flop Ball on Saturday night, galoshes were more appropriate thanks to the thunderhead that unleashed sheets of rain at the start of the party. Fortunately, the short-lived storm did little to deter guests from making their way to this annual fundraiser benefitting Wings for Kids, an innovative after school program that bolsters social and emotional intelligence. Founded in 1996 by Ginny Deerin (a wholly inspiring woman, whom I wish I saw more often), every Wings session begins with staff and students reciting this creed:
I soar with WINGS. Let me tell you why.
I learn lots of skills that help me reach the sky.
I love and accept who I am on the inside
and know my emotions are nothing to hide
Life's full of surprises that make me feel different ways.
If I can control myself, I will have much better days.
I understand the choices I make should be what's best for me to do,
and what happens is on me and not any of you.
I understand others are unique. I want to learn more about everyone I meet.
I want to step into their shoes and see what they are going through.
I am a friend. I support and trust. Working together is a must.
Kind and caring I will be. I listen to you. You listen to me.
I soar with WINGS. I just told you why.
All of these things are why I fly high.

Meanwhile, GoldBug Island, the picturesque outcrop nestled between Sullivan's Island and Mt. Pleasant, was the perfect setting for this down home affair that entertained guests with barbecue and bluegrass, because the fact is if you're not indoors, sitting on an igloo, you want to be somewhere casual and comfortable for these summertime fetes. Good show, Wings!

The skinny: Seabourn's fleet occupies the very upper end of the cruise ship quality pinnacle. The line offers superb dining and service, tastefully decorated vessels, and a vast array of places to cruise to. Its three new ships are among the very best, architecturally sensational vessels at sea.
The experience: It's about as good as you can get — think Ritz Carlton or other top tier hotel chain at sea. The upper crust ambience has been mellowed a tad at least in terms of dress code — many nights are of the more relaxed, upscale resort casual that guests favor as opposed to fancy formal. The staff takes pride in proactive service, but they're never overly presumptuous. Somehow, they seem to know what you want before you can even ask (they're near psychic in their ability).
The food is simply outstanding at all times; the airy Colonnade Restaurant on the three newer ships is one of the prettiest and best places at sea for breakfast or lunch; and the main dining room, with its two-story center section and curtains forming a white-billowing-sail effect, is a gorgeous backdrop for a sensational dining experience, including a selection of local flavors based on where you're cruising. As one would expect, all the ships are virtually all-inclusive (drinks including fine wines and champagne, specialty dining, and tips are included in the cruise fare. Special Advantage fares add airfare and a one-night pre-cruise luxury hotel stay, airport transfers, and generous credit to use towards shore excursions. The ships have large suite cabins with over-sized bathrooms and walk-in closets and are impeccably well maintained. Newly added are Penthouse Spa Suites with a bunch of special amenities aimed at spa lovers. Socializing with other passengers, whether around the pool or in the cushy lounges, is the prime form of entertainment.
Who's onboard? People who can afford it and like small ships of the very highest quality. The newer, hipper ships and shorter itineraries have driven down the age to 40-plus, though longer itineraries attract an older crowd. Kids are sometimes found onboard with their families and nannies.
Where they go: Around the world including Europe, the Caribbean, Canada/New England, the Middle East, Africa, India, Asia/Pacific, South America, and Antarctica. The line prides itself on visiting ports both expected and rare.

You are here
We've been neck-deep in getting the next issue out and are a little behind in posting. Apologies! To tide you over till we get back to our normal schedule, here's a little flashback wedding from October 2009 that we've held onto because we love its Nawlins' accent. Enjoy!
Louisiana natives Lacey and Jeffrey shelled out a hefty dose of bayou bliss at their William Aiken House a few Octobers ago. Why? The Charleston transplants sought to create a day that showed off their new Lowcountry home while staying true to their Cajun roots, and—from the looks of things—they achieved their goal and then some.
After a traditional ceremony at St. Mary's, guests dashed over to the William Aiken House where they were greeted with a snazzy outdoor tent covered in gold and deep purple satin (hello, Mardi Gras) and drenched in soft light from crystal chandeliers. Wedding designer Yoj Events coated birdcages in silver and gold, and used them to create centerpieces with orchids, roses, and feathers.
And the penultimate pizzazz? Take note of Lacey's post-ceremony costume change. The bride switched into a short feather number by Columbia designer LaRoque just before setting foot on the dance floor. Guests joined Lacey, or kicked back with hand-rolled stogies from Coastal Cigars, and then saw the couple off in New Orleans fashion—waving white handkerchiefs and dancing on the street as the couple zipped off to their honeymoon in Thailand.
Love it!

TUPELO – A teen has been arrested Friday and charged with burglary of a dwelling in Lee County.
Kurtis Yarbrough, 19, will face an initial appearance Tuesday in Lee County Justice Court.
Sheriff Jim Johnson said a caller from northeast Saltillo reported a suspicious car and people at his neighbor's home Friday morning.
"He turned around and went back anf confronted three individuals in a blue-colored car," Johnson said Monday. "The neighbor actually got into it with one of the subjects and was able to wrestle him to the ground."
That suspect managed to get away, leaving behind a hooded jacket, and the three suspects jumped into the vehicle and drove away.
The vehicle was abandoned on Lake Lamar Bruce Road and discovered later by deputies. The vehicle, Johnson said, led to the identity of Yarbrough.
"We did an extensive hunt for him and late Friday afternoon we made an arrest," he said.
The other two suspects, once caught, will be charged with the same crime, Johnson said.
The homeowners were not home at the time of the alleged burglary.

It's a candy bar. No, it's a cake with candy bars, and it has mounds of richness!
If you have only 2 pans, spread one-third of the batter in each of 2 prepared pans. Cover and refrigerate remaining batter while the first 2 layers bake. After removing cakes from pans, bake remaining batter in one of the pans after it has cooled. The third layer may need to bake 1 or 2 minutes longer.
A correctly prepared cake pan keeps the cake from sticking. When making most scratch cakes, grease the bottom and side of the pans and dust each with about 1 tablespoon flour, tapping out the excess.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 8:19 PM GMT on March 27, 2011
The names Tomas and Igor will no longer be used to name hurricanes in the Atlantic, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) announced this March. Hurricane Igor made landfall near Cape Race, Newfoundland on September 21, 2010, and was that island's most damaging hurricane in 75 years, with $200 million in damage. Hurricane Tomas smashed through the Lesser Antilles Islands on October 30 - 31, 2010, dealing a particularly harsh blow to St. Lucia, where eight died and damage was estimated at $500 million. Tomas also killed 35 people on Haiti, and contributed to a cholera epidemic that killed thousands.

Figure 2. MODIS satellite image of Tropical Storm Tomas taken at 10:30am EDT Saturday October 30, 2010, as the storm began lashing the Lesser Antilles. At the time, Tomas was a Category 1 hurricane with 75 mph winds. Image credit: NASA.
The retirement of hurricane names
The WMO maintains a list of hurricane names for the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific that repeats itself every six years. The names Igor and Tomas in the Atlantic would have appeared again in 2016, but will be replaced by Ian and Tobias. Each spring, the WMO meets to decide if any names should be retired from the list, due to notable death or destruction caused by one of the past season's storms. Any country that is a member of the WMO can request that a name be retired. If a country seriously affected by a hurricane does not request retirement of the name, then the name will not be retired. In the recent past, Mexico, in particular, has been reluctant to request retirement significant storms that have affected them. In 2010, two significant hurricanes affected the country, but Mexico chose not to request retirement of either: Hurricane Alex, which killed twelve people and did $1.5 billion in damage, and Hurricane Karl, which killed 22 and did $206 million in damage. Back in 2005, Mexico also did not request retirement of Hurricane Emily, which made two landfalls in Mexico as a major hurricane, destroying thousands of buildings, but not claiming any lives. A new storm named Emily will appear this year, as we are recycling the names from 2005 that were not retired (2005 holds the record for most retired names, with five.) Probably the best example of a hurricane that did not get its name retired, but deserved to, was Hurricane Gordon of 1994, which killed 1145 people on Haiti. Haiti did not send a representative to the 1995 WMO meeting when retirements for 1994 were decided. Gordon did not affect any other countries strongly enough to motivate them to request retirement, and the name Gordon will be used again in 2012.
Since Atlantic hurricanes began getting women's names in 1953, 76 names have been retired, an average of 1.3 retired names per year. The list includes one tropical storm, Allison of 2001, that caused billions in damage from its heavy rains. The storm with the most appearances so far is Arlene, which has appeared nine times: 1959, 1963, 1967, 1971, 1981, 1987, 1993, 1999, 2005. Arlene will make its tenth appearance this year. One exception to the retirement rule: before 1979, some storm names were simply dropped. For example, in 1966, Fern was substituted for Frieda, and no reason was given. Only three Eastern Pacific hurricanes have had their names retired--Hurricane Ismael of 1995, Hurricane Pauline of 1997, and Hurricane Kenna of 2002. All of these storms hit Mexico.
Cool Katrina animation
A new visualization created by Advanced Visualization Laboratory at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois shows Hurricane Katrina spinning over the Gulf of Mexico during a 36-hour period in August, 2005. The animation is part of a full-length planetarium film called Dynamic Earth screened at the Fulldome UK festival on March 12 - 13. You can see the video at the newscientist.com or DynamicEarth web sites. The video description: Trajectories follow moist air rising into intense "hot tower" thunderstorms, and trace strong winds around the eye wall; rapidly rising air is yellow, sinking air blue. The sun, moon, and stars show the passing of time. The visualization highlights Katrina's awesome power and fierce beauty.
I'll be back with a new post Tuesday or Wednesday.

I don't really collect action figs, but I love the astromech droids.
I have so far aquired R2D2, R2Q5, R2B1 & R5D4.
The only one that I need is the Red R2 unit that comes with the Naboo Cruiser but I ain't paying £40 for it.
If anybody has a spare and is willing to trade then let me know (or if you see it at auction I would appreciate a shout).
Many thanks

Friends of the Library present 75th anniversary exhibition, Nov. 13-April 16
Posted November 4, 2005; 06:22 p.m.
The Friends of the Princeton University Library are celebrating their 75th anniversary with an exhibition of holdings acquired with the group's support from Sunday, Nov. 13, through Sunday, April 16, in Firestone Library's main gallery.
The exhibition, titled "The Lure of the Library: The Friends at 75," will include a kickoff lecture by renowned collector William Scheide, a member of Princeton's class of 1936, at 3 p.m. on Nov. 13 in 101 McCormick Hall. The lecture will be followed by a reception at 4 p.m. in the Firestone main gallery.
"Individually and collectively, the friends have generously supported the University Library for three-quarters of a century by enabling Princeton University to acquire items that we may not otherwise have been able to collect," noted La Nina Clayton, curator of the exhibition and the head of public services for Department of Rare Books and Special Collections. "With their support, we have been able to acquire rare books, manuscripts, archives, artifacts, historic maps, coins and graphic arts, some of which are included in the exhibition."
Among these acquisitions featured in the exhibition are the Morris Parrish (class of 1888) collection of Victorian novelists, the Phillip Ashton Rollins (class of 1889) collection of Western Americana, the Robert Garrett (class of 1887) collection of Islamic manuscripts, the Grenville Kane collection of Americana and the Robert Taylor (class of 1930) collection of English and American literature.
One of the oldest such groups in the country, the friends' membership includes more than 700 people who live around the world.
Two additional exhibition-related events will be held during the spring semester. Stephen Ferguson, curator of rare books, will discuss "Collecting Rare Books in University Libraries: How Did it Start at Princeton?" on Thursday, Feb. 16 (time and location to be determined). Patricia Marks, a 2003 graduate alumnus who is a member of the friends and a former editor of the Princeton University Library Chronicle, will present a talk titled "A Passion for Books: Collectors and Their Quarry" at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 13, in Firestone's main gallery.
The main gallery is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, until 8 p.m. Wednesdays and from noon to 5 p.m. weekends. Tours of the exhibition will be held on the following Sundays at 4 p.m.: Dec. 11, Feb. 12 and April 2.
For more information, contact Clayton at (609) 258-3184.
