Based on advertising hype, the above line is heresy. But it's true. The most important attribute in a scope is not "brightness" or astronomical resolution: It's the ability to maintain zero.
The brightest target in the world is just a clear miss if the reticle points where the barrel doesn't. Spending hundreds of dollars on superb optical quality is silly if your scope can't keep a reticle in the same place, shot after shot … after shot.
See anyone you know in there? Shining a light into a scope might reveal something sticky.
Scope durability results from the highest quality materials manufactured and assembled with the highest precision possible. More screws and less glue.
So how do you get this durability? Good question. Since most of what makes a scope tick is hidden inside a black tube, you can't exactly kick the tires and check the lug nuts. But you can turn the dials and click the turrets.
When examining a riflescope, turn, twist, crank and adjust everything that can be manipulated, listening and feeling for alarm bells. These bells sound and feel like gravel, coarseness, scraping, inconsistent tightness or excessive looseness. Tight is better than loose if everything is smooth. Everything will loosen with age. Nothing will tighten up.
Turn, turn, turn. Manipulating all moving parts of a scope is a great way to test for smoothness, tightness and overall build quality.
If possible, lock down the scope so it can't move. Aim it at a grid target (one-inch squares are perfect) or an old- fashioned arbor boresight. Turn the elevation and windage turrets, counting clicks and watching for consistent movement of the reticle against the grid. Does it come back to the same spot?
Next, watch the reticle in relation to the target dot while you twist the power ring up and down. Does the reticle move off target? It shouldn't.
Next, shine a flashlight into the objective lens and look inside. You should see the flat black, possibly ribbed inside walls of the tube stacked with lenses. How are those lenses attached? See any streamers of glue? Stripped screw heads? Such blatant anomalies are rare these days, but they are clear warning signs.
Finally, consider the warranty and reputation of the company. The longer a scope is guaranteed against malfunction and broken parts, the more likely the manufacturer trusts it to function properly. Lean toward scopes with solid, lifetime warranties and companies with reputations for standing behind them.
So, remember: When it comes to riflescopes, keeping the crosshairs in place is job No. 1.

2008 Exhibitions
July 17 - September 27, 2008
South Street Seaport: Re-envisioning the Urban Edge
The Emerging New York Architects Committee (ENYA) presents the Third Biennial Ideas Competition, South Street Seaport | Re-envisioning the Urban Edge. This competition encouraged participants to envision new connections, both material and metaphoric, between this richly historic neighborhood and Manhattan's contemporary urban fabric.
South Street Seaport | Re-envisioning the Urban Edge provided an opportunity, uncommon for students and young professionals in the field of design and architecture, to engage the ongoing evolution of the South Street Seaport. More than 200 participants entered the competition, representing a broad spectrum of domestic and international architects, landscape architects, urban designers, and graphic artists. From over 100 entries, a jury selected four top prizes, five honorable mentions, and additional Jury Selections, all of which are presented in this exhibition.
ENYA partnered with the Seaman's Church Institute (SCI), whose headquarters have been in the neighborhood since 1832. The principal element of the program is a community center for local residents and gallery space to house the SCI's collection of maritime art and artifacts. In addition, competitors were encouraged to make community-building interventions in open spaces throughout the site in order to preserve the neighborhood's intriguing history, while re-imagining its future edge condition on the downtown New York waterfront.

Florida Georgia Line – Get Your Shine On [VIDEO]
Florida-Georgia Line is the hottest new act to hit country music in a few years and they are going from newcomers to selling out clubs in minutes before our very eyes.
They will be getting a lot more fans on their fast rolling bandwagon through the year as well since they are traveling all over America opening up for Luke Bryan on tour! Their follow up single to their debut number one hit "Cruise" is in my mind actually better. The song is titled "Get Your Shine On" and their fans can't get enough of it. Let's hope that we see Florida-Gerogia Line making a stop in the Albany area with Luke. That would be a show I wouldn't want to miss. Here's the new song for you to hear now, and we're rolling it for you here on 'GNA.

So, as many of you know... after the acid rain incident of St. Patrick's Day in Boston and the spotting that occured all over my armor I've been out of commission as Boba Fett. This has been the longest I've ever gone since becoming a Fett costumer without my "baby". Since the paintjob was completely ruined on my armor I had to sand it all down to the bare plastic and start all over again. Something that was completely frustrating but necessary.
Well... after much dragging of my feet and lots and lots of elbow grease, my armor is once again finished! YAY!!!!! Its a completely layered paint job and looks WAY better in person. Now I've only got to get my bucket finished since I sold my old one! :shock:

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Nine weeks into the season, many teams still have legitimate chances of making waves. The Vikings are down, the Steelers are up and the Falcons are still (barely) unbeaten. Three AFC divisions are only led by a game, so not only are the Wildcard slots up for grabs, the seeding overall is still chaotic. In what has become the norm this season, anything can and will happen, so let's look at what would happen if the playoffs started as of Wednesday, November 7:
The Falcons held off the Cowboys at home 19-13 to remain unbeaten. Say what you want about Atlanta not being able to blow anyone out, but they're very good at winning close games, so they don't need to blow anyone out.
Once again, Chicago put up an excellent performance, marching into Tennessee and putting up 51 points. With that kind of ability, Chicago once again established themselves as the team to beat.
San Francisco moved up during their bye week, while Seattle conquered Minnesota to move up to #6. However, Seattle is only 1-4 on the road so far this season, and San Fran is a difficult place for a road team to take control of San Francisco's excellent defense. The still relatively unproven Seahawks will have a real tough time in this one.
New York suffered a close home defeat to Pittsburgh, while Green Bay put up 31 at home to take care of the severely weakened Cardinals. With both teams now at 6-3, this could suddenly be a very exciting game. Even so, New York isn't to be considered any less talented, and has slightly better stats. They'll be at home, and have a much more balanced offense as opposed to an almost pure passing attack.
Houston limited Buffalo to nine points to pick up their seventh win of the season. A powerful offense backed up by the AFC's best defense has the Texans sitting pretty atop the conference.
A visit to Cleveland helped Baltimore keep a hold on a first-round bye, but even that was a bit of a struggle. Their remaining schedule doesn't have too many easy games left, and the injuries will catch up to Baltimore shortly.
Pittsburgh has now won three in a row, including their most recent 24-20 road win against the defending champion Giants. Aside from that, Pittsburgh's only other road win on the season was against a Bengals team in a severe drought. Their offense is certainly capable of shredding the Patriots' defense, but the New England D has only given up 170 points so far, very far from the worst. If Pittsburgh, even with their defense, is to have any chance on the road against Tom Brady, they'll need to make sure their punter has the night off.
We're all salivating over the prospect of Peyton Manning facing off against his successor, but it might not be as exciting as we would hope. True, Andrew Luck now holds the rookie passing record for single game yardage, but Peyton has more abilities, is more proven and has better pieces in Denver. Indianapolis has done very well this season, to be sure, but in their only road game of the season against a talented squad (Chicago, Week 1), they didn't fare so well.

Drywalling my basement ceiling
Hi I am drywalling my basement ceiling. And have a question. I put up an internal wall and used perpendicular 2X4s to joists to attach my wall at the top. I should have put them between the joist instead of on top of them. Oh well mistake taken. Now in this one room I have a ceiling at 2 different heights... drywall attached to the joist all the way down. then the last Aprox. 18 inches the I have those 2X4s on the joists... so the last 18 inches the ceiling drops 1.75 inches for the 2X4.
My question is.. any suggestion for the Transition?
Can I just cut a 1.75 inch piece of drywall 9 foot long (the lenght of the ceiling) screw it to the face of the 2X4s to connect the 2 different ceiling heights?
Pros have had to of dealt with this before. What do you guys do?
If I'm picturing this correctly in my mind, yes you would screw/nail a piece of drywall to the 2"x4"s and finish it with a piece of corner bead after you tape the angle....
Taping the top angle between the ceiling and this small drop is what he is saying. Then add corner bead and tape that. Use "hot mud" not the premixed tub compound for the corner bead. It will dry faster and harder.
Thanks bjbatlanta and BOB.
And I like your quote BJBATLANTA! 11 yrs Navy here Gulf 1 war veteran.
Thanks again!
Thanks for your service to our country luweee!!! Got a boy in the Guard who spent his 19th birthday in the desert and going back soon for another deployment.
IF you don't stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them....
AMEN to that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My first post. I found the VWVortex doing Google searches and it seems like the best collection of information for my "new" vehicle. I'm looking forward to all the good help available.
2001 VW Jetta 2.0L 4-cyl AVH, 100 050 miles
Part I:
Failed Georgia Emissions Inspection with following codes:
DTC1 = P1296 - Manufacturer specific code.
DTC2 = P0420 - Catalyst Sys Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)
DTC3 = P1296 - Manufacturer specific code.
*Technician also informed me that the test would have failed automatically since the CEL (MIL?) is on. Mileage at time of test was 99710.
Part II:
I took the car into my local dealership. They did a diagnosis for $50 and then quoted $500 for repairs. As much as I need to pass my emissions inspection, $500 is money we don't have right now so I declined service.
Part III:
I searched the archives for P0420 and P1296 and read every single thread in the IV forum. 2 hours later I feel much smarter but I still don't feel like I'm smart enough to attack this DIY. Need tips.
Part IV:
Here's what I learned (any comments & corrections would be really helpful):
P1296 - Most replies indicate that this is either a bad Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor -OR- a bad thermostat. Engine appears to already have a "Green-Top" but I bought a new one ($13) and intend on installing myself. Even with CEL on (~2 months), vehicle runs smoothly. I have not noted any problems with vehicle temperature. I'm not sure why the code P1296 appeared twice on the EI report.
P0420 - Most replies indicate that this is either a bad cat -OR- bad O2 sensors. I have also seen remarks about MAF and O2 sensor spacers. I checked prices for the O2 sensors at NAPA today and they were about $120 each (ouch). I've also learned about a 10-year, 120k cat warranty that applies only for the AEG and possibly a 10-year, 100k warranty appies for the AVH. Found the links on the EPA.gov web site. I'm currently at 100,050. When I asked a 2nd dealership about running a reflash or checking the VIN or checking the warranty all they said was "We can't really tell anything until you bring it in and we run a diagnosis. Even if it is the cat... and even if it is under warranty... we won't provide a cat replacement at no cost until we determine that everything else with the car is correct."
Part V:
I'm at the point where I want to attempt this myself and try to save as much money as possible. My general engine knowledge is pretty poor... but my DIY skills are decent. Any tips?
*Here in Georgia, we can get an emissions re-test for free at same location as original (within 30 days). There is a "Owner Self-Repair" section to be filled out. I need as many tips as possible about which engine components to start replacing. And then, after I make repairs, how long do I have to drive it to clear codes?

Exhibiting the no nonsense attitude she has displayed for the past nearly two decades on the Port of Seattle commission, Paige Miller was blunt and direct when she said she not only wants to end the Richard Conlin's time on the Seattle City Council but openly covets his job as chairman of the council's transportation committee.
"I've accomplished what I set out to do with the port and I want to take my skill, experience, tenacity, and persistence to the city where they really need some help, particularly on transportation issues which I know a lot about," Miller says.
West Seattle might get its part of the monorail before the downtown portion is built, and those gigantic support columns may be much smaller, says Cascadia Monorail Co.
Jim Devine, project manager for Cascadia, told the Seattle Monorail Project board of directors it would be quicker and easier to build the monorail in residential neighborhoods because there are fewer utility lines.
The Associated General Contractors said it all in a recent flyer.
"I don't want to create or preserve thousands of jobs, including my own.
"I support neglect of our state's bridges and roads.
"Our roads will fix themselves.
"That is what your signature on I-912 means."
The contractors are absolutely correct.
What can West Seattleites expect if an earthquake takes down the Alaskan Way Viaduct?
The Seattle city police, transportation planners and emergency managers proposed an emergency closure plan for the viaduct to the Transportation Committee of the Seattle City Council July 18.
When you have lunch with Mary Gates and Betty Huff, you have to accept a periodic interruption from friends of theirs. At Indochine recently, where Mary ordered a shrimp dish with a five-star degree of hotness, and Betty a more demure Thai salad, we gnoshed and talked symphony and the exciting pops program planned for August 13. Now and again, someone they knew would drift by the table (Mark Clirehugh, then Peggy Laporte) to say hello.
The very good reason for this is that these two women are among the leaders and shakers in town who makes things happen.
A man leaned on his elbows at the Seattle Monorail Project board of directors' conference table and urged the board members to divide the Green Line into two $800 million halves which would cut interest payments significantly.
First build the monorail from Seattle Center to West Seattle, the man suggested.
Seattle City Councilmember Richard Conlin said his success in getting legislation passed and his ability to go into any neighborhood and point his accomplishments is what makes him feel he is ready for a third term.
As chairman of the council's Transportation Committee, Conlin says his goals for the next four years are to continue to largely concentrate on addressing transportation issues and setbacks, and road, street and bridge repairs, both regionally and locally.
He is a member of a regional committee that has been lobbying for legislation to provide adequate money fo
Is there some sort of rule in Seattle that says all proposals for advancement and change must be greeted with a loud and definitive "No"?
As soon as Southwest Airlines suggested moving its operations to cheaper quarters at Boeing Field, the nattering nabobs of negativity immediately cried "No way." The "no-way" crowd spewed their nonsense even when the airline did something that none of the promoters of sports palaces did: offer to pay for the improvements themselves.
Southwest would spend $130 million on a terminal and a parking facility.
As a two-term Seattle City Council member Richard Conlin said his leadership in the past eight years to bring community concerns and plans through council approval is part of what drives his confidence in his re-election campaign.
Having the ability to go into any community and point out my hand in many of their accomplishments with community goals makes me a difficult candidate to beat, he said.
As chair of the Councils Transportation Committee, Conlin said his goals for the next four years are to continue to largely concentrate on addressing tran
It is amazing how the downtown media are able to forget that the people of Seattle voted four times to create and build a monorail. Columnist after columnist has declared the whole idea of a monorail dead and buried. The P-I said on Monday that what the Seattle Monorail Project needs now is not a new executive director, but an undertaker.
It seems that in the plush environs of the daily media the only ideas worth supporting come from their own scribes or from the hordes of professional transportation planners.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. -- Junior safety Zach Adler (Walden, N.Y.) and senior wide receiver Armani Martin (Pembroke Pines, Fla.) each earned Football Championship Subdivision College Football Performance Awards due to their efforts at their respective positions in Marist's 42-35 victory over Jacksonville this past Saturday.
Martin had six receptions for 162 receiving yards, averaging 27 yards per reception, and three touchdowns. In the process, Martin broke the program record for receiving touchdowns in a season with 11.
Adler had one tackle-for-loss and two interceptions, with one coming at a crucial point in the game on Jacksonville's first possession of the second half. The interception came near midfield and kept the score tied at 21-21. Marist scored on its ensuing possession, taking a 28-21 lead.
Adler had previously earned Pioneer Football League's Defensive Player of the Week, Oct. 28, 2012. This was each player's first FCS College Football Performance Award.
The Red Foxes (6-3 overall, 5-1 PFL) will travel to Buies Creek, N.C. to take on Campbell (2-7, 1-5) on Saturday Nov. 9 at 1 p.m.

amps, voltage and ?
If I know the cold cranking amp of my battery, how do know how long a item will run before it will kill the battery without any recharging while its operating. thanks
Batteries are rated in amp hours. So if your battery is rated at 850 cold crank amp hours it will sustain a load of 850 amps for 1 hour. If the load is 425 amps the battery will sustain this for 2 hours.
"cold crank amps" is a battery manufacturer term that has nothing to do with the actual amp hour output of a battery, other than they generally go up more or less together.
Keep in mind that the more you discharge a battery, the fewer charge, discharge cycles you have. It is a bad idea to run a battery down. Deep cycle batteries are a little better in this regard, but they will still have longer life if you do not discharge them close to their capacity.
amps, voltage, or ?
So I get he cold cranking amps, and divide by the amps drawn and thats tell me how long it'll run. thanks
"So I get he cold cranking amps, and divide by the amps drawn and thats tell me how long it'll run."
"Cold cranking amps" is just a salesman term! It does not have really relate to anything, other than how much current the battery will put out at a certain temperature, for a brief period of time.
The amp-hour rating of a battery is the rating that tells you directly the capacity of a battery.
For example, a 60 amp hour battery will put out 60 amps for an hour, 10 amps for 6 hours, 1 amp for 60 hours, you get the idea.
A 60 amp hour lead acid battery is capable of putting out a lot more than 60 amps for a shorter period of time. This just a WAG number, but I would not be surprised if a 60 amp hour battery could have a CCA rating of 300 to 400 amps.
So when they are trying to sell you a battery, it sounds more impressive to try to sell you a battery with 600 to 800 CCA, even though another battery may actually have a higher amp hour rating.
Cold cranking amps is the max the battery will deliver at 0 degrees F for 30 seconds. Most battery manufacturers no longer list amp hours on the battery and instead list reserve capacity, which is the time in minutes the battery will supply 25 amps and still have a voltage above approximately 10.5 volts.

BYU linebacker Kyle Van Noy met the media on Monday after practice and talked about the win over Texas, the upcoming game against Utah, the play of fellow linebacker Alani Fua and more.
Asked what he thinks about the national media focusing more on what Texas did wrong than what BYU did right in Saturday's 40-21 win, Van Noy said: "I just think it is funny. I watch SportsCenter just like every other guy does in college, and I just laugh at it. I don't really pay no mind to it, just because you just play with a chip on your shoulder. I just laugh -- that is all I can say about that."<

I have to say that it was right after I fill it up. I never saw this kind of reading in the same conditions before this FSA. Usually it was 5.9 l/100km = 40 mpg. Because I don't like to drive like a grany and usually doing 70 mph = 112 km/h, I average on highway 6.8 l/100 km = 34 mpg for the same distance. I don't have yet any long distance highway to really have a better idea about how it performs lets say in a trip from Montreal to Toronto = 500 km (313 miles). But the car has almost 20 000 km already and I love it. Only if it had a larger tank...
I drove to Midland, TX from Austin, TX (approx 330 miles) last weekend. I got 37 MPG. Its sort of a hilly route to drive. I had the update done quite sometime ago, I think late May. I average 34 MPG on my daily commute to work (62 Miles one way). I have 5300 miles on my car to date, with zero problems or complaints
I have the letter from Ford regarding the FSA if anyone wants it scanned, I can scan it.

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Eiko Yoneki.
Online Social Networks like Facebook, MySpace, Xing, etc. have become extremely popular. Yet they have some limitations that we want to overcome for a next generation of social networks: privacy problems and requirements of Internet connectivity, both of which are due to web-based applications on a central site whose owner has access to all data.
To overcome these limitations, we envision a paradigm shift from client-server to a peer-to-peer infrastructure coupled with encryption so that users keep control of their data and can use the social network also locally, without Internet access. This shift gives rise to many research questions intersecting networking, security, distributed systems and social network analysis, leading to a better understanding of how technology can support social interactions.
Our project, PeerSoN, consists of several parts. One part is to build a peer-to-peer infrastructure that supports the most important features of online social networks in a distributed way. We have written a first prototype to test our ideas. Another part is concerned with encryption, key management, and access control in such a distributed setting. Extending the distributed nature of the system, we investigate how to integrate such peer-to-peer social networking with ubiquitous computing and delay-tolerant networks, to enable direct exchange of information between devices and to take into account local information. http://www.peerson.net

LOGAN,Utah (AP) -- Chuckie Keeton threw for five first-half touchdowns, gaining 249 yards on 19-of-25 passing in the half, to pace Utah State past in-state rival Weber State 70-6.
Joey DeMartino also ran for three touchdowns, two in the first half, for USU (2-1, 1-0 Mountain West Conference), gaining 105 yards on eight carries over three quarters.
Keeton played only the first half, being replaced by Craig Harrison at the beginning of the third quarter with a 49-0 score. Harrison passed for 71 yards and a touchdown on 4-of-4 passing before being replaced, as well. Harrison's first career touchdown came with 10:13 to play in the third quarter on a 56-yard pass to tight end Keegan Anderson.
WSU (1-2) was led by freshman Austin Chipoletti who started his first game as a Wildcat, passing for 34 yards on 12-of-20 attempts. Josh Booker ran for 45 yards on 15 attempts. The lone Weber score came with 50 seconds left in the game after Spencer Unga recovered a high snap mishandled by USU and ran 38 yards for the score.
Keeton tied his personal career record of five touchdown passes in one game with 3:47 to play in the first half, hitting D.J. Tialavea for his second TD reception. Eight different receivers caught a Keeton pass, four different players scoring a touchdown.
Weber State gained its lone first down in the first half with just under three minutes to play on a 16-yard pass from Chipoletti to Cam Livingston, while USU had 19 first downs in the half. The Aggies were able to gain 372 yards of total offense in the first half, while WSU was held to 21.
In the first quarter, Utah State scored on three drives of less than three minutes, then again with only seven seconds off the clock in the second quarter, taking a 28-0 lead. Four of the first five Aggie touchdowns were passing plays from Keeton, while DeMartino ran 11 yards for a score with 6:38 to play in the first quarter and again with a 7-yard run midway through the second quarter. The fourth first-half TD was grabbed by Kyler Fackrell, normally a linebacker for USU, who lined up as a tight end.
Keeton came into the game ranked third in the nation in combined yardage, but ran only five times for 25 yards in this game. USU never punted in the first half, scoring on each possession excepting the final possession as time ran out. Saturday's output was the most points scored by USU since 1964.

Hi Terri -- great question! I am currently considering two options. One is a myomectomy. This is where the surgeon would have to cut open my uterus and remove the fibroid. Because of the type of fibroid I have (partially intramuscular and subserosal), my doctor said he would not even consider doing the procedure laproscopically. I am also considering MRI-guided ultrasound surgery. I am currently waiting for the requisition to get an MRI done to see if I am a candidate to do this.April 25, 2009 - 11:29am
I have been getting my stomach "zapped" once a week for the past four weeks in an effort to shrink the size of my uterine fibroid. This is a naturopathic treatment that involves an electronic box with frequency adjuster, cords that extend out from the box into electrode-covered gloves and a cup of water.
Sounds odd and scary, huh? Well, the first time it is -- a little.
But I don't feel a thing when I get the procedure done. The worst part is actually when the doctor dips the gloves in the cold water and it touches my stomach. Yikes! She does that a couple of times during my half-hour treatment, along with frequency adjustments by turning the knobs on the box.
I am not sure if this will shrink my fibroid very much. This technique is supposed to yield better results for patients dealing with endometriosis. However, I figured it was worth a shot! I will know if it worked once I am done doing other phases of my treatment & I get another ultrasound done (probably 2 more months).

What kind of surgery are you considering if this treatment doesn't work?April 24, 2009 - 7:59pm
Oops! I forgot to mention that! It is called microcurrent. My next option is surgery, so I wanted to try this first.April 18, 2009 - 4:07pm
I'm curious, what is this method called? (what is the name of the machine?) Thanks!April 18, 2009 - 2:09pm
Thanks for this information, Joanna. I hope it works for you.
How did you hear about this naturopathic method? Is it considered safer than traditional methods (medication/surgery)? What made you decide to take this path in trying to get rid of these fibroids?April 18, 2009 - 10:49am

Buddhist converts (of which this forum is largely made up of) are somewhat prone to robustly defend Buddhism (or particular strands within) against just about anything perceived to be 'non-buddhist' (i.e. science, western philosophies, other religions etc). I think it is just part of the process that converts have to go through to work out what is true for them. It is unfortunate that much ignorant posturing about these other things takes place, and I often worry about where it is all leading. Gently offering true insight against this ignorance is all that can be done - as you have done here.
The nail on the head, you've just hit here.

CASD transitioned most of the curriculum courses of English Language Arts (ELA), Library, English as a Second Language (ESL), Math, Science, and Social Studies to the new PA standards. The standards focus all schools on College and Career Readiness benchmarks. Standards tell us what level and degree we should be reaching for in the curriculum but standards do not tell us how to get there. Teams of teachers and supervisors have collaborated over the course of the 2012-2013 school year to make this transition a locally controlled and evolved curriculum. Major features of the CASD curriculum are the essential questions, concepts, skills, and vocabulary, as well as instructional methodologies. A cornerstone of the curriculum and standards is the alignment to the Standards Based Report Cards and Assessments we use on a daily basis.
The CASD staff and administration are some of the best professionals. The drive, passion, and focus on continuous improvement is outstanding to see and be a part of in Chambersburg. All of the improvements could not have happened without support and agreement to forge ahead. We strive to be "ahead of the curve" when it comes to changes we know make sense, and that will make a difference in the lives of children.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at anytime by email (email@example.com). Have an exceptional educational experience, and remember that we need your help in making learning and excellence happen everyday for each and every child.

— ANAHEIM, Calif. - Police say they believe a father and grandfather abducted two young boys from the Anaheim apartment complex where they lived with their mother.
Police Sgt. Bob Dunn said the boys, 4-year-old Jacob Quinones and 2-year-old Justin Quinones, had gone with their mother to take out the trash just before 8 p.m. Thursday when they were snatched by two men in a van.
Dunn identified the men Friday as Abraham Fernandez, 23, and his father, Louis Mendoza Fernandez, 52.
An Amber Alert was issued for the boys. The suspects were thought to be driving a silver 2009 Dodge Caravan with a dent on the right front door and tinted windows.
Dunn said they may be headed to Texas since they are from that area.
The Orange County Register reported that their mother was taking out the trash from her apartment complex in the 3300 block of West Orange Avenue — directly across from Western High School — when the abduction happened.
She said the boys had followed her out into the alley where the trash can is kept, the newspaper reported.
Anaheim police Sgt. Rick Martinez told the Register that the van stopped, two men got out and snatched the children. They then took them into the vehicle and drove away.
Buzz Lightyear T-shirts
The mother told police she was unable to get the license plate number, the paper reported.
One suspect was described as a white or light-skinned Hispanic male, 5-foot 10-inches tall, who was wearing shorts and baseball cap.
The other suspect was an older white or light-skinned Hispanic with long hair and a mustache. He was described as heavy set and with an overbite.
Justin is Hispanic, 2-foot 6-inches tall, 38 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a Buzz Lightyear T-shirt, beige shorts and a blue jacket.
Jacob is 3-foot tall, 62 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He was also wearing a Buzz Lightyear T-shirt and beige shorts, but had a gray jacket.

I'm debating getting the CCW permit
I'm concerned that getting the permit will garner unwanted attention.
If pulled over in my car I am automatically identified as a CCW holder. This could present a problem when I travel by car especially through Illinois whether I have a firearm or not.
The penalties for DUI as CCW holder are exponentially worse. Though I have no intention of driving while intoxicated will I automatically be suspected if pulled over?
Most states honor castle law so I can keep in my car anyway.
If I need to use a firearm without a CCW I'm not sure that the penalties outweigh the actual result.
I understand there are laws and my intention is to obey them. I'm just not sure if its worth the trouble either way

Incoming El Paso County treasurer questioned, also gets support from commissioners
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - El Paso County Assessor Mark Lowderman will soon have the treasurer's job.
Earlier this month, Lowderman was found guilty of a campaign finance violation when he sent out mailers on county letterhead. A judge ordered Lowderman to pay a $14,000 fine.
In less than six months, Lowderman and his office will oversee the county's money flow.
El Paso County Commissioner Dennis Hisey says he has complete faith in Lowderman's abilities.
"The fact that one person had an issue over how something was handled during the campaign, doesn't disqualify someone from being a trusted elected official," Hisey said.
That one person is Republican voter Karen McCormick. She filed the campaign finance complaint against the county assessor in June that led to Lowderman's fine. He is appealing the ruling.
Commissioner Peggy Littleton said Lowderman did a great job as county assessor during his seven-year tenure.
Lowderman won the El Paso County Treasurer primary earlier this summer 20 points against Duncan Bremer. He runs unopposed in the general election.

How much is your current gear limiting your photography?
I'm just as much of a gearhead as anyone, but gear is certainly not the most important limiting factor for me. Here's my limiting factor list:
1) Time.
2) Energy and creativity left after a hard day's (or week's) work.
3) Time.
4) Gear.
You might want to add talent, but talent can be improved with hard work – and time. I certainly wasn't born with natural talent for photography but I think I'm getting better and better.
I came to think about this last week when I went to see my old mother for a few days. She lives 500 km away in a beautiful part of the country. I spent a lot of time with her and I collected two big sacks of weeds from her little garden, but I also had some time left for short hikes in the surroundings. I took many pictures and I think they came out very nice. I used only my Panasonic G3 and my Nikon V1. Here are some of my V1 images from the trip. All of them were taken with the lovely 30-110 mm lens.
This image was taken from an old castle on the way to my mother. I have taken hundreds of pictures of that tree over the years, but this is probably my favourite so far.
Same tree in late sunlight (but I personally like the other picture more).
Small village, also photographed from the castle.
Oh, another picture from the castle.
Stones with lichens and algae on a rocky beach.
Tree sparrows taking off (extreme crop at ISO 800). A few comments about this picture:
1) Art is in the eye of the beholder.
2) You don't need to please everyone (pleasing yourself is enough!).
3) Embrace your failures.
Birch tree and pines. This image is a stitch from four handheld vertcal images. I softened it somewhat afterwards.
The images were shot raw and converted with RPP. All of them were handheld. I'm quite happy with them. And yet, I have to admit I'm dreaming of a D800. I'm sure it will make me a much better photographer.

Dugway Proving Ground, in Utah's western desert, was placed on lockdown Wednesday evening.
Al Vogel, a public affairs specialist for the installation, would only say that the lockdown began at 5:24 p.m. Employees were not allowed to leave, and those coming to work were not allowed in. Vogel said there were no injuries, no damage and no threats reported at the proving ground. There were about 1,200 to 1,400 people at Dugway when the lockdown occurred.
Dugway Proving Ground is a U.S. Army testing and training base in Tooele County where military weapons are tested.

Long range HVAC planning.
We're trying to make some long term decisions for heating and cooling our house. (and adding humidity in winter) It's a 1400 sq ft Cape, in Massachusetts. We have very cold winters, and hot and humid summers.
Our house currently has gas heat, forced hot air. We don't have central air. There's no humidity control.
In the summer, we use a few window air conditioners. (and, of course, fans.)
In the winter, we use a room-sized warm air humidifier. With the forced air heat, this seems to do a good job of getting the humidity spread throughout the house. It's labor intensive: it needs to be filled several times per week, and cleaned every week.
The gas furnace is an oil conversion. The conversion was done about 5-10 years ago (two owners ago). The 'gas part' (I'm blanking on the right name for it) is rented from the gas company for about $15/month. The whole furnace is sealed up, so it's impossible to inspect its condition. From what I've been told, these units made in the 70's were made right, and could last a very long time. Or the heat exchanger could fail tomorrow. We're kinda figuring it has 2-5 years left in it.
Would it make sense to add central air to the current setup? Or would it be wiser to wait (for it to fail?) and replace the furnace at the same time?
Also, what options are there for adding humidity to a forced hot air heat system? We're looking for something low to no-maintenance.
Furnace replacement
It sounds as though the gas conversion furnace should be replaced.
Account for the rental from the gas company along with the probability that the existing system is inneffecient and that it mighy fail soon or alredy has and you have a good excuse to
change out this heating system.
As far as puttung in central air , consider that the furnace blower motor will probally have to be changed to a larger motors, but when you add a new furnace it will be the right already.
All these factors should be considered .
Do the math and you will see what i mean.
As far as humidty
a General 1042 blow thru should work fine for 1400 Square feet.

Tarun Tejpal, the editor of one of India's best-known investigative magazines, is facing a police investigation over allegations that he sexually assaulted a female journalist at a beach resort in Goa.
Police formally opened an investigation into whether Tejpal is guilty of rape and outraging the modesty of a woman, Kishan Kumar, Goa's director general of police, said by phone today. Tejpal could face a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted of offenses including rape by a person in position of trust and authority.
The journalist at New Delhi-based Tehelka magazine was assigned to escort Robert de Niro at a festival hosted by Tejpal, The Telegraph based in Kolkata reported, citing the victim's e-mailed account of the incident. The first of two separate assaults occurred in an elevator after they accompanied the actor back to his room, the report said.
"I was devastated by her account but another version of the events exists," Shoma Chaudhury, the managing editor of the magazine who was named one of "150 Women Who Shake the World" by Newsweek Magazine in 2011, said today in an interview with CNN-IBN. She attacked the Indian media, saying it is "wonderful at jumping to conclusions."
The allegation of the attack occurs amid a bout of national soul-searching caused by the gang rape and murder of a student in New Delhi in December 2012 that triggered weeks of protests. Even after the enactment of new laws imposing stricter penalties for men who assault women and the setting up of fast-track courts, India is struggling to tame the male attitudes that leave ordinary women vulnerable to attack.
'Honorable Thing'
Tejpal said today in a statement to CNN-IBN that he would cooperate with police. "Unfortunately as sometimes happens in life, the complete truth and the need to do the honorable thing can come into conflict," he said. "In this case the anguish was accentuated by the fact that very many intimate people, professional and personal, were involved."
While Tejpal plans to step aside from his job for six months over the incident, social activists and journalist associations called for tougher action against one of the weekly's founders. Chaudhury said the magazine has created a formal complaints committee to look into the allegations.
"There ought not to be any attempt to cover up or play down this extremely serious incident," the Editors Guild of India said in a statement. Mamata Sharma, chairwoman of the National Commission of Women, said Tejpal "is not God to decide his own course of punishment." The main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party has also demanded Tejpal's arrest.
Magazine 'Ruckus'
Tehelka, an English-language publication whose title means "ruckus" in Hindi, is best known for investigations exposing political corruption. In 2001, when it was operating as a website, Tehelka released videotapes showing senior defense officials and politicians accepting bribes. That led to the resignation of the then-defense minister.
Tejpal accepted the "misconduct" and said "a bad lapse of judgment and an awful misreading of the situation, have led to an unfortunate incident to the concerned journalist," the Press Trust of India cited him as saying in a letter to Chaudhury. "Because it involves Tehelka, and a sterling shared legacy, I feel atonement cannot be just words."
Tejpal did not respond to an e-mail seeking comment.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. - After a two-week layoff, the University of Miami women's basketball team returned to the Associated Press Top 25 Poll. The Canes comes in at No. 23 this week, matching its season-best ranking from the second week of the 2012-13 campaign.
Miami was bolstered by a 69-65 win over then-No. 6 Penn State. Senior Morgan Stroman paced the Canes with 15 points and a game-high five steals, while fellow senior Stefanie Yderstrom scored 13 points and dished out a career-high tying seven assists.
After the loss to Miami, Penn State fell four spots to No. 10. Miami rival Florida State also entered the rankings at No. 24. In all, the Hurricanes have 10 games against teams that are ranked or receiving votes in the latest poll.
Miami returns to the hardwood Monday, as it takes on Alcorn State (0-5) at the BankUnited Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.

Really? Who will do this?
Eco-thinkers have come up with an amazing new way to create drinking water - by putting plants in the bottom of a shower.
Designers Jun Yasumoto, Vincent Vandenbrouk, Olivier Pigasse, and Alban Le Henry came up with the concept when looking for new ways to recycle precious H2O.
After you have washed in the special eco-shower the water passes down into a series of physical filters and is treated by plants such as reeds and rushes growing around your feet.
Yasumoto, 34, said: 'These plants have been proven to be able to remove the chemicals from your shampoo.
'Using a natural filtering principle called phyto-purification, the bathroom becomes a mini-eco-system by recycling and regenerating the wastewater.
''With this project, we tried to combine the pleasure of taking a shower with the satisfaction of recycling water. We wanted the recycling process to actually interact with the use of shower.'
More...The new device which enables you to grow your own fruit and veg without using soil
The waste water passes into a chamber below the shower floor where it goes through a maze of filters.

Microsoft has issued a rare emergency update for its Internet Explorer browser as miscreants stepped up attacks targeting a vulnerability on hundreds of thousands of webpages.
In many cases, the websites distributing the toxic payload are legitimate destinations that have been commandeered, allowing an attacker to snare victims as they surf to online banks, forums, and other trusted sites. There are at least six distinct versions of attack code circulating in the wild, according to researchers at iDefense, a security lab owned by VeriSign.
A web search showed 233,000 pages containing the string ardoshanghai.com/s.js, just one of many web addresses exploiting a weakness in the way IE's data-binding function works. Most of the attacks silently install keylogging software as soon as a victim surfs to a site carrying the exploit. Once installed, the software steals login credentials for online games.
"The vulnerability is so juicy that we expect it to show up in tool kits fairly shortly," said Rick Howard, intelligence director of iDefense.
The patch was released eight days after reports began circulating that websites were targeting a vulnerability in fully patched versions of IE. This is only the second time in 18 months that Microsoft has issued an unscheduled update. Typically, patches are available on the second Tuesday of each month to allow system administrators time for planning.

The 2012-2013 Mayors Challenge, funded by (New York City Mayor Michael) Bloomberg Philanthropies, has announced the winners of its contest seeking innovative locally-bred solutions to problems plaguing cities throughout the country.
"This challenge is all about identifying a need, solving a problem, and sharing local knowledge so that other cities and citizens can benefit from the insight and actions of their peers," the Mayors Challenge website declares.
The top prize awarded in the $9 million contest went to Providence, R. I., for its "Providence Talks" project, which aims to encourage greater academic success in low-income children. Employing small recording technology, the initiative measures children's exposure to words from birth to age four, noting that exposure to spoken words in these formative years is the best predictor of a child's future success in school. Providence Talks now has a $5 million award to fund the recorders, as well as coaching and other tools for parents to use to narrow the word gap.
The four other winners -- Chicago; Houston; Philadelphia; and Santa Monica, Calif. -- were each awarded $1 million to devote to their projects.
The Chicago SmartData Platform intends to gain true civic value from big data by developing an open-source predictive analytics platform from the ground up. Chicago will share the platform, once constructed, with other jurisdictions without the resources to effectively leverage the power of big data. The SmartData Platform "... will help leaders make smarter, faster decisions in real-time to help address and prevent problems before they develop," according to the project's Idea Summary.
One Bin for All is Houston's idea to use technology to help the city boost its recycling rate -- currently at 14 percent, compared with the national average of 35 percent. Residents will be able to combine all trash and recyclable materials in one receptacle for automated sorting at a high-tech sorting and recycling facility. Officials estimate the program will boost the city's recycling rate to 75 percent.
Philadelphia aims to inject agility into the traditional government-citizen relationship with its Social Enterprise Partnership (PSEP) initiative. A new purchasing process aims to introduce new players into the mix, giving entrepreneurs with fresh perspectives the chance to take on challenging urban problems. Described as a way to put research and development into the RFP process, the PSEP will reframe urban challenges, provide seed funding for new ideas and pilot potential solutions at City Hall.
Respresenting the West Coast, Santa Monica, Calif., will launch "The Wellbeing Project," one holistic metric that measures a variety of quality of life indicators to provide more visibility into whether city resources are helping citizens thrive. The metric will focus on wellbeing in several areas: economic, social, health, academic and environmental.
"By looking through the lens of wellbeing, the city will know whether or not we're making the most effective use of resources to meet people's needs," said Mayor Pam O'Connor.
Complete summaries and videos are available for each project on the Mayors Challenge website.

Selling need deck/porch color ideas
Have a small ranch style home, exterior color is tan with black shutters and black front door, red brick crawl space. Need to repaint the deck, side entry porch and small front porch. What color should I paint?
Thank you
Pretty tough question for us to answer without pictures. Most of us are gonna jump your case about painting a deck as this is usually the worst thing you can do with a horizontal surface exposed to weather and foot traffic. Semi-transparent stain is the best option, but if you painted it before you are stuck with a "repaint option." Just use a Porch and Floor enamel (satin or low sheen to keep it from getting slippery) in a neutral color that will tie in with tan, black, and red brick.
And you say repaint the deck? Are we talking about a deck or porch surface? I painted porch floors all the time and will not climb on you for choosing paint over stain. For covered porches.
I, like Gymschu am assuming you have some sort of floor and porch paint on exposed decking--not porch floor surfaces. This is not a good idea. Are these surfaces covered?
Is it in decent shape but you do not like the color? If it has been painted with a floor paint, you should probably stick with a similar product. I really like Benjamin Moore's floor and porch paint products. Oil based is urethane reinforced and waterbased is epoxy reinforced.
Is the house color going to stay the same color? What other colors, like those in roof tiles, should we know about?
I hate to sound like our bubba Joe but pictures would help in this instance.

Earlier this week I asked what you, dear reader, considered to be the charism of the emerging church movement. Only a couple of you took the time to respond, so maybe the bulk of you don't think that the ECM really has offered anything. Regardless, I think that TransFORM: East, which launches today, is a great occasion to think a bit about what the ECM has offered, and has to offer.
First, the past.

MSI has followed its usual formula with the NX6800 TD128, so the box is larger than one of its motherboard packages (just like the Asus V9999) and inside you get all the usual bits and pieces that you expect with a £200 purchase. There's a DVI adapter, a TV-Out cable, a power cable splitter and a thick manual which covers the entire range of MSI 6800, FX5950 and FX5900 cards. Curiously the manual only covers driver installation for Windows 2000 and XP, when nVidia also supports Windows 9x.
Annoyingly, the example pages in the manual which walk you through the driver settings use screenshots from the MX460 and FX5200, running Detonator version 27.20 and 43.03 respectively. Although the more complex subjects of anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering do get a brief mention, the most recent features of the Forceware drivers - such as temperature settings – are entirely absent.
When Lars ran his swathe of tests the MSI got very similar results to the Leadtek and XFX cards. Although the MSI was generally consistent we got some low scores in Unreal Tournament 2004 when we used a high screen resolution.
The MSI overclocking utility adds two tabs to the nVidia driver with one tab for information, while the other is called MSI Clock. This has six options, and MSI has given each the name of a military rank, so of course we went straight for General as we didn't fancy messing about with Privates (phnar phnar). Where Coolbits ran the clocks at 400MHz/830MHz, MSI Clock went for much slower speeds of 357MHz and 770MHz. Curiously, these very different settings gave similar results in our tests although Coolbits still gave the higher scores.
It should have been a simple matter to uninstall the drivers and to then install a basic version of Forceware 65.73, however MSI Clock doesn't have an uninstall routine. More than that, the software is part of the drivers, rather than a separate utility, so the PC refused to start up when we installed one of the other 6800 graphics cards. Once we'd ripped the MSI drivers out in the Control Panel all was well, but this was a complete pain, and represented unnecessarily poor programming.
Version 65.73 of the drivers performed in a very similar way to the Galaxy and Leadtek, but when we unleashed the mighty power of Coolbits the MSI crept ahead of the Leadtek. So, it's a quirky devil but it does perform well and there's no denying that MSI makes a quality graphics card. Once again the heatsink uses a slab of copper, which explains the weight of 546g, and although a large 65mm fan is employed, this is a noisy card when it's running.
As ever MSI supplies a stack of software on CD. In all there are 13 discs, but you are unlikely to ever install much of the software. For instance, the utility CD includes Media Ring Dialer, and we fail to see why a graphics card is packaged with Adobe Photoshop Album 1.0 or VirtualDrive Professional. Naturally there are also games demos, but there's some good stuff from Ubisoft's catalogue in the shape of Ages Beyond Myst, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time and XIII, as well as WinDVD Creator. For the price this is a decent graphics card but we wish that MSI would sort its drivers out so that they are less intrusive.
The MSI card isn't perfect, and the overbearing MSI Clock utility is a pain. But it does perform well, come with a decent software bundle and generally feel like a £200 graphics card purchase.

The green and gold attack was back, as they managed 15 hits from a lineup that have been stifled by Aggie pitching the night before. Phillip Bell and Ryan Metcalf both had great days at the plate, with three hits apiece in the contest. Billy Lichtner added two hits of his own, while Danny Sawyer chipped in two hits and two RBIs in the game. Sawyer's hits pushed his team-hitting streak to 12 games, and upped his season average to .321.
Senior Lyle Northington took the loss for UAB, throwing 4.1 innings while allowing six earned runs. The native of Detroit, Ala., failed to keep Aggie hitters off balance, giving up a season high 10 hits in his stint on the mound. Ben Styes relieved the lefthander, keeping UAB in striking distance with 3.2 shutout innings. Styes rebounded well from a rough outing earlier in the week, striking out four while only being touched up for two hits. Mitch Thorn continued his string of solid outings, throwing a scoreless ninth inning for head coach Larry Giangrosso while striking out one.
UAB's bats decided to jump to the lead in today's contest, scoring three runs in their first three at bats to gain a 3-0 advantage. In the opening frame, a leadoff single and stolen base by Levi Patmon set the table, with John Wayne Donahue bringing home the bacon, singling up the middle for the first Blazer run of the day. Just two innings later, the green and gold would strike again, this time on the strength of Zac Ward RBI single, pushing the lead to 3-0.
North Carolina A&T State would respond, scoring six runs in the top of the fourth and fifth to take their first lead of the contest. UAB quickly chipped away at the margin, scoring a run in both the bottom of the fifth and eighth to pull themselves closer. A Sawyer double would score Bell, making it 6-4 at the end of the fifth inning. The Blazers would later score on an RBI walk to Sawyer, bringing them within one run of the Aggie lead. Things would end there, as North Carolina A&T induced a fly out to end the rally.
The green and gold would attempt to put something together in their final at bat, but it would not come to pass as the Aggies closed the door to secure the win.
