Read all installation instructions!
• Make sure that you have all tools and hardware needed
for installation.
• Check the installation surface (wall, ceiling, or
window frame) to ensure that you have suitable fasteners and tools
for the material.
• Double check the headrail and shade for proper width
and length. If you are installing several sets of shades, be sure
to match them with the appropriate window.
• Check the parts list shipped with the product to
confirm that you have the correct number of brackets.
• Do not remove the wrap on the roller until you have completed the installation. Leaving the shade rolled up completely will ease installation and reduce the risk of damage.
• For standard roller shades, the fabric will hang off the BACK of the shade, closest to the window. For optional reverse roller shades, the fabric will hang off the front of the shade. Be sure to note this when installing the mounting brackets.
• Cassette Valances come attached to the shade. Standard Valances require assembly.
Recommended Tools
• Phillips head screwdriver
• Pencil
• Level
• Tape measure
• Safety glasses
• Drill/drill bits (1/16" drill bit may be used to
pre-drill for screws)
• 1/4" Wrench (if using extension brackets)
• Hex nutdriver (optional for mounting screws)

of the return panel.
• Wrap the fabric around the end of the return panel.
• Press the caps into place.
• Repeat forthe other end. Once both returns are
installed, pull the fabric taut to remove wrinkles and secure to
the backs of the returns with masking tape
Attaching the valance to the valance brackets
• Centering the valance overthe roller shade, slide the
top of the front valance panel into the valance clips until it
locks into place. You can adjust the valance spacing from the wall
by loosening the wingnuts on the valance brackets.

Important: Make the adjustment on the right side for standard roll and left side fro reverse roll.
• Locate the clear, cordless bottom rail handle that arrived with your shade.
• Insert the front lip of the bottom rail handle into the top of the bottom rail of the shade. The handle will snap into place.
Find Width
Measure exact distance between inside surfaces of window
frame at the top, middle, and bottom, and use the narrowest width.
Do not make any width deductions.
Find Height
Measure exact distance from inside surface at top of window
to sill. If you prefer shade not to touch sill, deduct 1/4". If
there is no sill, measure height to point where shade is to reach.
Tip-to-Tip Measure is the common measure type for most roller
shades. Choosing this measure type will include the headrail
"pegs" that mount the shade to the wall or frame.
Measure exact distance between the outermost points where
the shade is to be placed. This measurement should overlap each
side of window frame by at least 1-1/2". Factory makes no
deduction from your shade width dimensions.
Measure exact distance from where top of shade will be
located to top of sill. If there is no sill or if shade is to
overlap window frame, measure to point shade is to reach.
Cloth Measure is uncommon and should only be used for Outside
Frame applications. The headrail is wider than the cloth of
the shade which causes the "pegs" to extend beyond the width
of the shade material. This total distance is 1-3/8" wide, or
a gap of 11/16" on each side of the shade material.

You'll be able to converse with Alexa in three regional languages.
Amazon is investing over $5 billion in its Indian unit to turn the website into the largest e-commerce portal in the subcontinent. The retailer rolled out its Prime subscription service in the country last year, and introduced Prime Video a few months ago. Now it looks like Amazon may bring its Echo lineup to India by the end of the year.
That's according to two anonymous sources speaking to Economic Times. This isn't the first time we're hearing about the Amazon Echo landing in India, but ET's report also states that Alexa — Amazon's voice-based assistant — will include support for regional languages: Marathi, Tamil and Hindi.
Amazon is said to initially offer Alexa in English, with support for local languages coming shortly thereafter. Alexa has turned into a robust platform over the last two years, with the assistant touting over 1,200 skills — everything from hailing a cab, ordering items on…

Prime Day 2017 will be spread across three days, starting Monday, July 10, at 9 p.m. EST and going until 3 a.m. Wednesday, July 12. The Thrifter team is already gathering all the information you need to know about Prime Day, and they will be on hand to cover this event from beginning to end, with every standout deal posted to the site and on Twitter.
While you can obviously expect the bulk of the deals to happen on Tuesday, June 11, don't be surprised if they kick off with a few great ones on Monday night. In fact, Amazon will be offering some exclusive deals to people using their Alexa-enabled devices like the Amazon Echo or Echo Dot. Those deals will start at 7 p.m. on June 10, two hours before everything else kicks off. Going even farther back, Amazon plans to drop some other big sales in the week leading up to Prime Day.

I didn't even realize that it's been around six years. Will it make it to 10?
Part of the reason I'm not as engaged with Google+ as I used to be years ago is that the feature I was most excited about has been effectively removed from the social network. Google Photos is its own thing now, and the photo albums and sharing features I loved in Google+'s heydays are better than ever before.

Rwanda's national carrier plans fleet expansion, listing
By Jenny Clover
KIGALI (Reuters) - Rwanda's national carrier plans to more than double its aircraft fleet in the next five years, and to list on the country's stock exchange once it turns profitable, a senior company executive said.
At present Rwandair has a fleet of seven aircraft. It plans to increase this to 17 planes over the next five years, which would allow the airline to expand its route network to Europe, China and India, Chief Executive Officer John Mirenge told Reuters in an interview late on Friday.
The carrier - which is loss-making and 99 percent government-owned - recently added a new 75-seater Bombardier CRJ-900 plane which it bought from the Canadian company. The second is due to arrive on Monday.
"We have plans that after 2015 - after we have consolidated as a regional carrier - we will start operating out of the continent into Europe and also China," Mirenge said.
"We are already talking to Boeing about their 787s that can reach Europe and China with some good cargo holds that will carry the excess baggage that are required."
He said the new CRJ-900s will join Rwandair's fleet of two Boeing 737-800s, bought last year from Boeing, two Boeing 737-500s that have been operating since 2010 and a Bombardier Dash-8 turboprop that operates on domestic routes.
The seven-strong fleet is a mixture of owned and leased planes. The projected fleet of 17 would also include both owned and leased aircrafts.
"We are not looking at ourselves going into a buying spree because that burdens your balance sheet and it's not a good mix. So if the demand on a market requires it there are always planes to lease, as long as they can pay for their own survival," he said. Continued...

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by BillLaimbeer, Mar 6, 2007.
Sorry, you haven't convinced me.
Ironic, that over the last couple of days I find myself actually (somewhat) DEFENDING this piece of crap poor excuse for a coach against some of you in other threads when you had such high praise for him just such a short time ago. Yet now that the beloved Pistons have been exposed by the Cavaliers people insist on placing the blame solely on Saunders since it can't be the players faults....can it? No, of course not. How can one of the "top coaches in the league" as shown by your own votes manage to bring our team down to such great depths? Our players missed open shots because of fatigue...uhmmm...which goes back to the coach. They stood around in awe and watched Lebron fly by them because of poor defensive planning...uhmmm...which goes back to the coach. If Pop, Riley,or Jackson were our coach, would we have won? Yeah...maybe. Maybe they were bright enough to get us past our own deficiencies and other teams strengths. But it doesn't take away from the fact that Cleveland outplayed us. Overall they showed more effort, poise, and skill from start to finish. Blame Flip Saunders if it makes you feel better. Your blame would be well directed. But don't forget that your beloved players choked on their own too. Interesting, that only 5 of us voted him in the bottom 12 while the overwhelming majority praised him with their votes, but now it is mostly if not ALL, his fault.
He fooled me last season and he did it again. Defense wins championships and Flip doesn't praise defense. I am not falling for it again. Flip is not a bottom 12 coach, but for this team he is.
i said top 12 and i still believe that. i thought he was excellent in the orlando series - remember we never swept a team with brown or carlisle. i also think he had a solid gameplan for chicago and lebron initially, but blew it toward the end of those series. it seems like he has the most difficulty adjusting to when another team figures something out, but saunders himself can't see what it is, so he can't adjust in return. if pop was our coach, we would've definitely been in the Finals? yeah. but how many other coaches could we say that and believe it with 100% conviction?
Pop / Riley / Sloan / Jackson / Zeke / Skiles / Laimbeer /
Good list.
with 100% conviction? maybe pop, riley, sloan, and jackson - none of whom are available - but you can't say that for zeke / laimbeer / skiles, all of whom are unproven. not saying i'd mind zeke or laimbeer coaching over flip though.
Doesn't look like Zeke's going to happen as long as Bill D. is an owner. With Laimbs, that is an interesting possibility.
Maybe Dumars will trade Davidson for someone younger + cash.
I don't care if he's younger, just not dumber.

Limbaugh calls Obama administration a "racist" "regime"
From the April 26 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: What the people of Arizona are saying is, they know some civil rights will probably be violated along the way, but they don't care. They want the law anywhere.
You've got Hezbollah in Arizona. You've got Mexican drug cartels operating in Arizona. You've got the steady stream of illegals over the border, and you've got people being killed now in Arizona. They are at their wits' end. Enforcing the law is the overall thing, and if there are some civil rights violations, so be it. That's how desperate the situation is. They want the law anyway.
See, not everybody thinks that civil rights are the end-all and be-all of every single issue. But folks in Washington just cannot imagine that. "Civil rights violations? Oh my gosh. The worst thing we could possibly do is have civil rights violations" -- because it's code words. It's simple code words. "Civil rights violations." You know who that's designed to stir up. And who's Obama stirring up anyway?
We gotta reconnect young people, African-Americans, Latinos, and women for 2010 -- in a video put out by the DNC over the weekend. This is the regime at its racist best. What's the regime doing? Asking blacks and Latinos to join him in a fight. What is a campaign if not a fight? He's asking young people, African-Americans, Latinos, and women to reconnect. To fight who? Who's this fight against?
Civil rights violations in Arizona. We've got to make sure that the state of Arizona plays fair. Who is this fight against?
If I may say something to the leader of this regime, I mean this from the bottom of my heart. We've never had a president like this, who has purposely come to divide people. But he has, and he is. With that video, seeking to reconnect young people, African-Americans, Latinos, and other women for 2010. Against who?
Freedom has no color, Mr. President. Freedom has no race. Freedom is a human right granted by God. It is not to be parceled out by arrogant eggheads like you to people who you think are more deserving of freedom than others. Freedom ain't you.

Ruff Said Injured Players Could Return Friday
The hottest ticket in town
'Revenue sharing checks were mailed in the first week of November to the nearly one dozen teams that qualified for help, including the Sabres. A source close to the distribution system said the Sabres received about $6 million of the $90 million handed out for the 2005-06 season.'

'"With the number of injuries we had, two of our top four defensemen out, it was a great stretch for us," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. "To come into this situation and win after a disappointing overtime loss to Montreal, it was a good bounce-back game for us."'

'"Lindy kind of set that motto last year: 'Never lose two in a row,"' Drury said. "Our goal is never to do that, always bounce back after a loss. I'm glad we did that."'
Buffalo 3, NY Rangers 2 (OT)
'"We gave up a two-goal lead on the road which is bad, but to win in OT, I'm pretty happy about it," said Drury. "We got a lot of guys with a lot of talent. We knew if we kept shooting we'd catch a break."'
Sabres Get By Rangers 3-2 In OT
'In overtime, Chris Drury would win a faceoff back to Teppo Numminen and would take a slap shot from the point; Drury would crash the net and tip in the game winning goal.'
Wrapping Up With An OT Win
'"I thought tonight was going to be a night where we won 2-1, but Straka caught the top part of the net," said goaltender Ryan Miller. "I guess it's a little more exciting. Too bad we have to do things the hard way all the time, but we were able to pull it off tonight."'
Drury's OT winner sends Sabres into four-day break
'Playing in their 10th game in 17 days with walking wounded Jason Pominville (groin), Jaroslav Spacek (groin) and Daniel Paille (foot), with Jiri Novotny out after absorbing a big hit from Matt Cullen late in the second period, and with essentially five defensemen, it figured to be a tough lead to hold in the third period. It was.'

Kotalik is own worst critic
'"I'm really, really proud in how the team's going," Kotalik said. "It was a little frustrating when you're looking around and all these guys around you are putting up goals and contributing offensively and you just can't find a way. Everything you do, you put 100 percent effort into your preparation for games, and whatever I did I just couldn't get the reward like the other guys. That was frustrating for me."'
Connolly's condition postpones his return
'Sabres managing partner Larry Quinn earlier this month said doctors told the team Connolly's recovery time should be similar to the one that forced him to miss all of 2003-04 with a concussion suffered in the preseason. Quinn said Connolly was OK to play in about 5 1/2 months.'

|Hate to say it, but you're wasting your breath. SD left this site and won't be back, from what I hear.
My Goodness, SailorDog is our 'watchdog'?

1-here's a thought process for You...Perhaps as in Maybe, Just Maybe, I Made a Mistake? John Downing (SV DS's OWNER) asked me to LOOK at the pictures in THIS Thread here, with a thread that he'd started at Cruisers Forums. I did. I actually NEVER Posted to THIS Thread, here, Prior to making the mistake of coming BACK here after being contacted by folks who'd read the other thread, at the OTHER Site, and contacted me (by both phone and email) to see if it was Our Company doing the salvage job...it was not; all I was trying to do was confirm that, for anybody who cared. NOT taking credit for that, which we weren't responsible for; go figure. A 'cut&paste' from another website does NOT a "Liar" make.
2-The VAST Majority of the folks 'here' (who aren't even "here", and apparently only were, ONCE) who have 'multiple accounts', either forgot their user name, or password (OR BOTH) and creating a new acct. was the easiest (or ONLY) answer. I don't THINK I have multiple accounts, if so, it was never intended; nor would I believe it to be the case for THOUSANDS of 'folks' w/user names that have NEver, EVer posted here and only visited ONCE...say 7 YEARS Ago? Scroll through the membership rolls sometime...just pick a letter and realize how ludicrous that statement of typically 'nafarious intentions' becomes?
3-I was 'migrated' here when SN BOUGHT the membership lists and discussion boards on a Pearson Owners Mailing List in '05; suggesting that unadulterated 'capitalist' plugging of one's business is equally ludicrous in that:
A-it simply never happened (by this poster), and
B-the box that I type in is SURROUNDED by ADVERTISEMENTS that PAY FOR THIS SITE in the owners hopeful goal of SELLING THINGS and Services (read=Making MONEY)!
4-Perhaps You would be further "more well informed" of the discussion boards rules if You read #1; You know, the part about PERSONAL ATTACKS?
I consider my reputation flawless. Having it sullied by someone in an anonymous fashion is dispicable; being called a LIAR is in anyone here's definition I'm fairly confident...a "personal attack". I'm a pure, unadulterated capitalist, employer of people who have JOBS and pay taxes; heck they even SPEND that money that's left over after all those taxes....maybe even spend some of it, right here?! I DID Make a mistake, in haste, in not being terribly interested in spending an inordinately excessive amount of time with a posting (either here or CF), so I cut & pasted that which had been posted there to get off the 'phone calls and emails' inbound list of folks up and down the east coast of the USofA who thought I/We/My business might be involved. For that, and 1/2, of 1 sentence You choose to be judge, jury and executioner.
'nuff said
ASS-U-Ming can be embarrassing.

Got word (though a phone call, back then) that DS was being 'chopped up' and they wanted to know if it was me. It wasn't.
As for the 'multiple posts' comment, I had here (heaven forbid!) confused w/the cruisers forums, where we had a similarly lengthed thread regarding the same vessel, in the same 'rescue' scenarios, discussed by HUNDREDS of posters. I had communicated with the owner (and still do, via email) directly, via phone, and email, we'd planned a trip for a full moon low tide, and nearly DIED trying to get there in a timely fashion from the Nature Coast of Florida. Like I said in that posting...message sent and received (FROM GOD, IN TECHNICOLOR...Make that "CINEMASCOPE") clear as crystal...wasn't meant to be. Spending a weekend (you probably have no clue what manual labor in a boat yard, w/a 30 cu.yd. dumpster that You're filling with 150lb sections of FG hull all day and all night long is like, going 24 hrs a day until the task is done...in my case, in this sitrep as originally planned for the whopping compensation of a 'free bow pulpit rail' (where my biz wouldn't take on this proposition for less than $10k, EVER), and helping a guy out in some pretty dire straits. For this You Hypothize that I and my company(s) are some sort of crooks? Here's hoping You never need to call a salvor. Here's further hoping that You learn to bite Your tongue regarding FURTHER, FOLLOW UP "Hypothication" about that which You know nothing, and speculation beyond "well, I guess Maybe He Made a Mistake?"

EVANSTON, Ill. -- Northwestern looked every bit like the top-ranked team in the country Saturday, amassing a 10-goal lead at halftime and eventually winning 19-7 over No. 19 Massachusetts, handing the Minutewomen (7-1) their first loss of the year in the process. Senior Shannon Smith was the offensive catalyst in the first half, scoring five times before intermission and finishing with six goals and seven points on the day.
Smith's performance left her one goal shy of tying her single-game career best and gives her a team-leading 24 on the year. Sophomore Kara Mupo contributed three goals and an assist to the win,
Northwestern scored on its first possession of the game when Smith directed traffic from behind the net and found a wide-open Mupo for the goal just over two minutes into the game. Cori Murray quickly countered with a goal for the Minutewomen, but Mupo restored an NU lead for good when she converted off a feed by Beatrice Conley.
Smith then took over on offense for the Wildcats, twice creating scoring chances for herself off the crease and then putting away an 8-meter attempt to make it three goals in under two minutes for the senior from West Babylon, N.Y.
Following a Massachusetts timeout, fellow senior Jessica Russo and Smith buried two more free position opportunities to give the Wildcats a commanding 7-1 advantage with 15 minutes still to play before halftime.
After Nina Sarcona pulled one back for UMass, sophomore defender Christy Turner took a loose ball and went coast-to-coast for her first goal of the season. NU won the ensuing draw control and soon after saw Casey Bocklet set up sophomore Kelly Rich for a pretty goal in front. Less than a minute later Bocklet earned and converted an 8-meter chance, and the Wildcats were comfortably ahead, 10-2.
Mupo completed her hat trick at the 6:12 mark of the first half when Amanda Macaluso charged hard into the offensive zone and dished to Mupo for a fast-break goal, and goals by Erin Fitzgerald and Smith in the final 5:30 allowed Northwestern to take a 13-3 advantage into halftime.
The Wildcats' stout defense was anchored by goalie Brianne LoManto, who thwarted UMass to the tune of five first-half saves.
The pace slowed a bit out of halftime but junior Taylor Thornton changed that with a darting run to goal that saw her single-handedly beat most of the UMass defense for her ninth goal of the year. Thornton would go on to lead NU with five draw control wins on the afternoon.
A caused turnover by Fitzgerald against UMass goalie Rachel Vallarelli led to NU's next goal, with Fitzgerald dishing to Russo for an open-net goal that extended Northwestern's lead to 13 goals. Senior Lacey Vigmostad tacked on another score five minutes later and, after a pair of Minutewomen tallies, Bocklet notched her second off a nice look by Mupo, setting a career high with three points in the process.
Smith put away one final unassisted goal at the 5:54 mark and freshman Blake McHugh scored her second goal of the season with 2:46 to go to round out the Wildcats' scoring.
In addition to her one goal and one assist, Fitzgerald pitched in with four ground balls and two caused turnovers for the Wildcats. As a team, NU provoked nine Massachusetts turnovers on the afternoon.
The Wildcats remain at home to open American Lacrosse Conference play when they host Vanderbilt at 3 p.m. Friday. Two days later, Northwestern will step back out of conference to battle Navy at noon Sunday at Lakeside Field.

text: Im new on here and will probably be crucified for this but here me out. .. Ive had this reoccuring dream for the last 2 months and it involves this trade, complete longshot, no WAY it happens, i just want to know if the logic works for yall as much as it does for me...again keep in mind just my fantasy. would yall be happy with it? 1. Cowboys trade Dez Bryant and 2013 2nd rounder to Patriots for 2 1st rounders this year and 2 rounder this year - its was painfully obvious the pats dont have a deep threat, this gives them one that is young, cost controlled and has immense talent but needs to get his head right. What better organizaton to send him to than the pats, plus this is why the pats stockpile picks, they wont find a better reciever with any of the picks they give up, plus they still have 2 2nd rounders and 2 3rd's. 2. Cowboys trade patriots 2 1st rounders, 2013 1st rounder and OT Doug Free to the St Louis rams for their 1st rounder, 2nd overall -this is where it gets interesting. i think the rams are need more help than just 1 player so lets give them a left tackle(which they are thinking of taking there anyway) plus 3 1st rounders. this blows any other deal they are fielding out of the water and gives protection for bradford while letting them improve with quality and quantity later in the draft. 3. Cowboys trade 2nd overall pick and 3rd rounder to browns for 4th overall and 23rd overall, 2nd rounder, and 3rd rounder. -they want robert griffin bottom line, I am totally fine taking Kalil here. but trading down with the browns brings are 1st rounders to 3 as well as 3 in the second..... minnesota will take claiborne or kalil... we take whatever they dont. hopefully kalil.... And here's how that all plays out. -Vikes take Claiborne, so we take Matt Kalil with 4th overall and team him up with T. Smith like back at usc and have the top pair of young stud tackles in the league -with 14th overall we take David decastro. giving us a Oline to drool over, especially with Oline guru Bill Callahan couching them up.... Kalil: 22 yo, Decastro: 23 yo, Smith: 22 yo.......plus they exemplify what we need, big and athletic. Red J can run draws till his heart burst because we finally have the athleticism we need. -23 overall, we take Dont'a Hightower.... exactly the type of versatility we need at LB, can rush at OLB and play middle with Sean lee, move him all over the field as a wild card. I wont go into 2nd rounders, but we have 3. Plus we just saved a TON of caproom bc of the rookie signing limits and jettisoning Free's crappy contract and the big one Dez signed leaving us room to sign Brandon Flowers or maybe another pass rusher......any1 wanna see mario williams and DWare lining up together??? Crazy I know. but would yall be happy with this?

Rottier Wins Twice as Phoenix Squads Fall to Vikings in Home Openers
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay men's and women's swimming and diving teams hosted their first home meets of the 2012-13 season on Saturday afternoon, welcoming Cleveland State to the Peter F. Dorschel Natatorium. The visiting Vikings earned victories on both sides, winning 136-107 in the women's meet and 140-100 in the men's competition.
"I was pleased with the efforts today, but we have a lot of technical things that we need to make better in our races," Green Bay head coach Jim Merner said. "We're still working on getting into training shape at this point, so I'm pleased with where we're at and where we're headed."
Junior Kendra Rottier (Green Bay, Wis.) was a two-time winner for the Phoenix women, cruising to a 15-second victory in the 1000-yard freestyle (10:26.49) before touching in first in the 200 backstroke (2:08.20). Junior Parker Wolf (Kohler, Wis.) also picked up a victory in the pool for the women's squad, finishing first in 1:56.54 in the 200 freestyle.
The fourth win of the day for the Phoenix women came from junior diver Carrie Dinelli (Northbrook, Ill.), who claimed a victory on the 3-meter board with a score of 240.15.
On the men's side, senior diver Mitchell Spaeth (Fredonia, Wis.) placed first in the 3-meter event with a huge score of 321.30. The total was good enough to qualify him for his second consecutive trip to the NCAA Zone Diving Regionals, held at the end of the season.
Freshman Connor Huff (Dubuque, Iowa) also had a good showing for the Phoenix men in the first home meet of his collegiate career, winning the 400 IM in 4:15.13.
The Green Bay swimmers and divers return to action next Saturday when they host Wright State at noon at the Peter F. Dorschel Natatorium.

« more RISD stories
Kevin Kelly is currently "Senior
Maverick" at Wired, the magazine he
co-founded in the early 1990s. The title is an apt one: Kelly was exploring
cyberspace in the early '80s – before most people even knew it existed – while
also writing the futurist classic Out of
Control in the early '90s. These days he publishes Cool Tools, among other blogs, and is working
with Long Now, a foundation that promotes long-term thinking. And this just
scratches the surface of his nonconformist interests.
As the
third and final speaker in the new Shared Voices series, Kelly will visit RISD on Wednesday, March 14. In a talk titled Screen Fluency, he'll discuss the importance of visual and
multimedia literacy in a world where digital screens dominate how we access
Truly a
Renaissance man for the digital age, Kelly now lives on the west coast – in
Pacifica, CA. After dropping out of the University of Rhode Island in 1971, he
traveled throughout Asia as a photojournalist, eventually publishing some 400
of his photographs in a wordless book called Asia Grace. "Instead of going to college, I went to Asia," he has
In the 1980s, Kelly's fascination with technology drew him into the nascent
years of cyber culture. He
edited the Whole Earth Review, a
journal of unorthodox technical news that reported on new trends – like virtual
reality and artificial intelligence – long before any other publications, and
he published new issues of the Whole
Earth Catalog, the world-renowned compendium of the best tools for
self-education, a countercultural favorite created in the '70s by his friend
and colleague Stewart Brand.
Kelly's techno vision has inspired more than one
futuristic, dystopian Hollywood film. His first book, Out of Control: The New Biology of Machines, Social Systems and the
Economic World (1994, Addison Wesley),
was required reading (along with two others) for the cast of The Matrix, the 1999 film starring Keanu Reeves. For the film Minority
Report (2002), director Steven Spielberg got him and a group of other futurists together to
brainstorm what the year 2054 would look like.
days, much of Kelly's attention is focused on the Long Now Foundation, where he
and Brand co-host a seminar series. A nonprofit established in "01996" to fight
the short-term thinking that drives most organizations, Long Now is creating a
digital library of human languages and building a clock that will last 10,000
years. Kelly also speaks widely about technology, science, business and culture,
and writes on these and other topics for such publications as The New York
Times, The Economist, Time, Esquire, Harpers, Science, GQ and The Wall Street Journal.
Kelly's thinking
has evolved and expanded into numerous books, including his latest, What Technology Wants (2010,
Viking/Penguin), which looks at technology as a living, breathing organism that
is malleable to our own needs. In addition, his bestselling book New Rules for
the New Economy (1998, Viking/Penguin) has been translated into
multiple languages.
Registration for Kelly's presentation
on March 14 is already full, but his talk will be webcast live on the Shared Voices site and archived there after

New rules for Biotope category for this year's AGA Aquascaping Contest
Hello Fellow Aquascapers,
In years past, there have been discussions on how best to improve the criterias for the biotope category for the Aquatic Gardener Association's annual aquascaping contest. Certain aquascapes have been questioned with regards to their validity as a true "biotope" by both the judges and entrants. In order to address these issues, the AGA has revised the rules and criteria for this year's contest. Below are the new rules outlining what constitutes an acceptable biotope for the contest category. Please review the new information and if there are questions, we will do our best to address them in a timely fashion.
Bailin Shaw
AGA Contest Chair
New rules of the biotope category for the AGA Aquascaping contest:
A biotope is a habitat originating from a specific location. It has particular environmental conditions and a native population of plants and animals. A single stream or lake may include numerous biotopes. For instance, a stony riffle in a stream may be one biotope while a nearby silt-bottomed pool on the same stream may be a different biotope. On the other hand, the same biotope may occur in numerous streams in a region where all stony riffles or silt-bottomed pools support the same community of plants and animals.
In its purest form, the biotope aquascape is a microscopic representation of a naturally-occurring particular geographical area in the wild.
An AGA Aquascaping contest entry that accurately represents a biotope through species selection and arrangement of hardscape and living elements will receive a higher score.
Rules for acceptable entries in the AGAs Aquascaping Contest Biotope Category:
Material used including wood, rocks, and other hardscaping material should, as closely as possible, represent the appearance of natural materials found in the specific location.
Example: Mopani driftwood would not be used in an Asian rainforest biotope aquascape. However, manzanita wood could be used effectively to represent branches and roots in an Amazon biotope.
Plants and animals should be indigenous to the specific location.
Example: Guppies should not be used in a Lake Malawi biotope aquascape. However, a few non-native fish or shrimp included for algae control will be overlooked.
Choice and placement of plant and animal species should also represent the specific location.
Example: Although both plants grow in Asian streams, it would be unlikely to find Cryptocoryne cordata, which likes shaded areas, mixed with C. crispatula, which is found in sunny areas.
Exotic, non-native, or invasive species of plants and fish should not be used in a biotope aquascape. All flora and fauna should be native species originally indigenous to the biotope being described.
Aquascaping methods used for Aquatic Garden aquariums are not applicable to biotope aquascaping. Design should be directed toward creating an authentic replication of a natural habitat. Arrangement of hardscape materials, and placement and grouping of plants, should mimic that found in nature rather than an abstracted image of a natural scene often used in Aquatic Garden aquascaping.
An expert committee will screen submissions in the Biotope Category and accept as entries those that it in its sole determination, follow these rules. The committees judgment will be final. If there are questions regarding the validity of the biotope aquascape, the committee may ask for justification.
Based on the criteria, to aid the screening process, we strongly suggest that entrants provide the following information:
1. A description of the biotope represented by the entry.
2. A description of the materials used in the entry, including plants, fish, and hardscape materials. Include why certain choices were made.
3. References to substantiate the appropriateness of the materials used. Books, articles, photos, and web links are all acceptable references.
If the committee rejects a submission, the entrant may resubmit the entry in another category. However, the AGA will not automatically move rejected submissions to another category; this must be done by the entrant.
After a biotope entry has been approved by the screening committee, it will be judged by the AGA Aquascaping Contest judging panel. Each judge will score the biotope based on the following criteria:
50 General impressions/ faithful reproduction of biotope
30 Accuracy of hardscape
50 Accuracy of plant materials
50 Appropriate use of fish
20 Condition
Results of the judging will be made public at the appropriate times as determined by the dates predetermined by the aquascaping contest.
|All times are GMT. The time now is 11:04 PM.

Students enrolled in the Economics program at Roger Williams University graduate prepared for careers in the financial sector, the corporate sector and various levels of government. The study of economics enables students to understand national and world economies, while developing analytical and problem-solving techniques. Economics students will learn a broad range of analytical, quantitative and communication skills that are useful in many different occupations in management, finance, banking, public administration, non-profit organizations, law and community service.
The Economics program at RWU stands apart from the competition. RWU offers both B.A. (liberal arts) and B.S. (business-oriented) degrees in Economics, including opportunities for student-faculty research. Former students have received funding to present their research at regional, national and international conferences. Unlike larger universities where research is reserved for graduate students, RWU encourages undergraduate research and publishing. In fact a faculty-student collaboration, "The Political Economy of American Indian Allotment Revisited," was recently published in the Journal of Business & Economics Research. RWU Economics students recently were recognized with an award for the best research paper at the International Applied Business Research Conference in Cancun, Mexico.

Dyed diesel fuel can be used in any diesel powered vehicle in an off road capacity. The dyed fuel must be removed if the vehicle is to be used on a public highway.
Use of special fuel as stated
in IC 6-6-2.5-62( c ):
No person shall operate or maintain a motor vehicle on any public highway in Indiana with special fuel contained in the fuel supply tank for the motor vehicle that contains dye or a marker, or both, as provided under section 31 of this chapter. This provision does not apply to persons operating motor vehicles that have received fuel in their fuel tanks outside of Indiana in a jurisdiction that permits introduction of dyed or marked, or both, special fuel of that color and type into the motor fuel tank of highway vehicles or to a person that qualifies for the federal fuel tax exemption under section 4082 of the Internal Revenue Code that is registered with the department (Department of Revenue) as a dyed fuel user.
A person who knowingly:
The Department of Revenue shall impose a civil penalty on the operator of a vehicle of two hundred dollars ($200) for the initial occurrence, two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) for the second occurrence, and five thousand dollars ($5,000) for the third and subsequent violations.
Vehicles exempt from special fuel penalties:
Some exceptions are:

|Miika's Mom
and I would have to agree that the chewing thing at this age is the biggest thing to deal with. That and learning your puppy's way of telling you that he needs to go potty!
Miika's chew tastes changed as she got older.
Well, she still likes to chew on the cats, but that is a different story, haha.
Oh, be consistent. Decide your absolutes now so that you won't have to "change the rule" once he isn't that adorable tiny puppy.
Have lots of fun with him!
Congrats on the new baby! Mine is only (almost) 10 weeks but I would say get him plenty to chew on!!! We have already said goodbye to a leash, a flip flop, a few pairs of socks and some of my kids hair bows. And I am home with him all day long so he is never alone in the house! Lol

New GSD Owner!
Hey everyone im Brandon and I am a brand new GSD owner! Im very excited because this was always my favorite breed of dog. Anyways, before I actually picked up the little guy I was finding myself revisiting this site trying to find Lord knows what! My "Dettmer" just reached 8 weeks old on January 1st. His name was chosen because it was my great grandmothers maiden name who just passed away at 96 years old 2 weeks before I got my little buddy. I figured that name was german..... Its a german shepherd..... BAM! Im very excited to learn more about the breed and interact with everyone in the community! Anyways I thought that as this is my first post and I am new to the breed, if anyone has 1 tip that they think is important with raising a GSD please post! Even if it is the smallest little thing! Have fun with it!
