Rosa DeLauro tours small businesses in Middletown
MIDDLETOWN — Connecticut Congresswoman Rosa L. DeLauro toured several Middletown small businesses Wednesday, celebrating their contributions to Connecticut's economy and hearing their concerns about the nation's economy.
DeLauro also discussed federal initiatives to help small business owners, including the principles laid out in her own jobs plan. Joining the tour were Middletown Mayor Daniel Drew and Quentin Phipps, executive director of the Downtown Business District.
"We need to do everything possible to support small businesses, entrepreneurs and the middle-class," DeLauro said. "Right now, Congress is not doing enough to create jobs and we have a lot of work to do."
Putting our economy on the right track and helping foster job creation is crucial to ensuring the American Dream continues for future generations in Middletown and throughout Connecticut, DeLauro said.
The jobs tour was an opportunity for the congresswoman to hear from Middletown business owners on what more Congress can do to shore up the economy and support their businesses. Over the last decade, Middletown made revitalizing its downtown a priority.
Economic development and establishment of the Downtown Business District has brought innovative new businesses to the area. DeLauro visited Javapalooza, New England Emporium, Mallove's Jewelers, NoRA Cupcake Company and The Buttonwood Tree Performing Arts Center.
DeLauro's jobs plan focuses on creating middle class jobs, supporting America's workforce, rebuilding our economy's foundations and creating a 21st century workplace. The congresswoman believes we need to rebuild our infrastructure to create jobs and economic growth both today and over the long-term. That is why she is a sponsor of the Fix America's Schools Today Act, which would create jobs across Connecticut by helping clear out the backlog of maintenance and needed repairs in our schools, she said.
DeLauro has long sponsored legislation to establish a national infrastructure bank, which would leverage private dollars to build 21st century transportation, water, energy and telecommunications systems.
Additionally, the congresswoman believes strengthening our manufacturing base is critical to rebuilding Connecticut's middle class. That is why she worked with local manufacturers to introduce the Manufacturing Reinvestment Account Act, which would provide small manufacturers a tax incentive to reinvest in their equipment, facilities and job training, she said.
DeLauro is a longtime advocate for creating a 21st century workplace by addressing the needs of today's working families, according to a statement from her office. She is also the author of the Paycheck Fairness Act, which would close loopholes in the Equal Pay Act and stiffen penalties for employers who discriminate based on gender. DeLauro is also the lead champion of the Healthy Families Act, which would allow American workers to earn paid sick leave.

Chicago Bears head coach Marc Trestman is quickly assembling his staff for next season.
The Bears hired former Montreal Alouettes special teams coordinator/running backs coach, Andy Bischoff, and Saskatchewan Roughriders assistant head coach and defensive line coach, Mike Sinclair on Friday.
The Bears also hired Jacksonville Jaguars' Mel Tucker as their defensive co-ordinator, hired Matt Cavanaugh as their quarterbacks coach and Skip Peete as their running backs coach.
Bischoff will be the Bears' tight ends coach while Sinclair has been named the team's assistant defensive line coach.
The move comes just over a month after Sinclair joined the Riders as the assistant head coach and defensive line coach. Prior to joining the Riders, Sinclair spent five seasons as the defensive line coach with the Alouettes.
Bischoff spent the past five seasons under Trestman's wing in Montreal, working as the running backs coach and special teams coordinator.
On Wednesday, the Bears hired New Orleans Saints line coach Aaron Kromer as its line coach and offensive co-ordinator and the Cowboys' Joe DeCamillis as its assistant head coach and special teams co-ordinator.
Trestman was named the Bears' head coach on Wednesday, replacing the fired Lovie Smith.

Better off not playing in this useless shit anyway. With our luck he would blow out a ACL.
Ross might get into this game because of injuries. Beal i believe is still injured. And anyone saw the MKG fall tonight? scary stuff. Guy could be out for a long long time.
Follow me on Twitter - @RRyan22
Beal could be injured, Waiters, i dunno, he's a tough guy, MKG might miss the game due to collision with fellow rookie teammate Jeff Taylor but then again, Jeff Taylor will make it before Ross. Ross gets snubbed this year but most likely will enter the slam dunk competition.
No way Taylor makes it before Ross.

blink-182 The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show
Another limited pressing offered through Hot Topic, limited to 1000 once again. These are supposed to come out on Tuesday, April 24, 2012, but some stores got advanced copies. I was lucky enough to have my nearest store have two copies left over when I called them. They had the same deal last year in which it was the first time this album was on vinyl. This is the second pressing of the Mark, Tom, and Travis Show. It's the same blink we all know and love. The good ol pop punk songs and addition Man Overboard bonus track. As well as the poopie, peepee, you're gay jokes to go along with it. The vinyls look pretty damn nice, hot pink and purple marble. I wish Mark still played that signature hot pink bass of his all the time. Everything sounds great and it's great to have another one of my favorite albums and bands in my collection :)

Bobbi Kristina Gets Her Own Reality Show
I guess there is a big demand for Bobbi Kristina Brown right now because not only is she going to be in Tyler Perry's show, she is also getting her own reality show. The show will star herself and Nick Gordon, her "brother," to whom she may or may not be engaged. Oh, and Bobbi also wants to play her mother when she was younger in a movie that is probably going to star Rihanna as Whitney. At this rate of speed, Bobbi is going to run through her 15 minutes of fame really quickly. Of course if she does not put down the pipe that 15 minutes could end up ending just like her mom.

Victor White Trial Day 2 In Odessa
By: Jenne Anderson
Updated: December 12, 2012
For starters, Ector County Sheriff Mark Donaldson took the witness stand to describe his encounter during the stand-off.
Apparently, White was communicating with Donaldson over the police scanner that was abandoned on the property when white started shooting.
Prosecutors played the recorded scanner conversation, and we could hear White taunting Sheriff Donaldson.
White said things like, "I don't mind dying, and I want you to understand that."
He also kept urging Sheriff Donaldson to make him a martyr.
We also heard from Sergeant Steven McNeil.
He's the officer who was shot in the head while trying to rescue another fallen officer from White's property.
McNeil got emotional on the stand as he described his experience on September 17, 2010.
He says he was on the ground when White shot him in the forehead.
McNeil said he immediately lost vision in his right eye, and was certain that White was trying to kill him.
The prosecution also showed footage of White that was taken from one of the DPS helicopters during the stand-off.
In the video DPS troopers say you can see White aiming, and shooting hundreds of rounds at the helicopter.
Wednesday's proceedings lasted until 5 o'clock PM, and then will pick back up on Thursday at 9 AM.

Looking the part
Polo did a decent job of hanging with Eastland on Friday night. Watching warmups, I didn't think that would be possible.
Ty Hartman cuts down the net at Polo High School after his Cougars won a second regional title during the senior's tenure. The first was when he was a freshman. That's also the last time they rocked those high-and-tight hairdos. |
Buy Sauk Valley Media Photos » |
I leaned over to my social media coordinator for the night, my wife Kayla, and told said, "Look at the Eastland players. They're huge."
Her reply: "Yeah, they're a lot taller."
"Maybe a little, but that's not what I meant," I said. "They're friggin' ripped."
The Cougars, with their team-wide buzzcuts and exceptional fitness, looked like a dozen soldiers assembled, put in basketball uniforms and given orders to seek and destroy.
Feeling right at home in his close crop was Ty Hartman. He and his fellow Cougars buzzed their domes the last time they won a regional when he was a freshman, 3 years ago. Perhaps reintroducing a little dash of magic was necessary to overcome an ailment.
Before the season began, Eastland coach Tony Dunlap, played down expectations of his senior leader. After all, Hartman had knee surgery right after the baseball season.
Hartman spent a lot of time after the game hugging friends and family with one arm, the regional plaque firmly in the clutches of his other hand. He'd earned it. So much for that bad wheel which, logic would dictate, would make him a far less effective player as the game wears on. Hartman scored 10 of his 11 points in the second half.
What makes the Cougars so deadly is that Hartman will never have to be the guy. A different hand can get hot any night. Maybe it was the buzzcuts, but there was a certain well-oiled-machine feel to that ballclub.
I was impressed. Like, bring me along for the ride to state impressed.

I am successfully using a Direct TV HR-24 100 in my RV. What is the equivalent DVR that is compatible. I need one that powers the LNB through the coax cable.
I am assuming that the DVR has its own tuner, but I could be wrong.

Re: DVRI am not sure what antenna you are using, but assuming you have an antenna capable of handling the HD multiple satellites then any HD DVR other than the HR34 will work just fine. Even the HR34 will work, but you must add some additional special SWM hardware to make it work.
Re: DVRI apologize for being lazy. The motorhome has the cover on and which makes it difficult to get inside. The dish I am using is the MV-3500T.
I looked on ebay and it looks like my choices are: R15 SD Will the card from the Hr24 work any DVR? Thanks Dave
Re: DVRYes, the R-15/16 DVR will work well with your current dome antenna. Since you can't receive the DirecTV HD programming with any dome antenna the SD DVR will do an excellent job.
If this is a brand new receiver it will come with a new card and you cannot transfer the old card. If it is a used receiver you will have to call DirecTV with the serial # and other information for the receiver and they will send you a new card for about $30.

Which to buy
Include a little history in your walks. Pecsaetan - Ancient Derbyshire, Staffordshire and South Yorkshire - http://pecsaetan.weebly.com/
yeah - it could (probably) be wet up there.
Down not recommended unless guarateed dryish or freezing really
A hooded synthetic to chuck on over your shell (or under) will be much more useful than a down jacket.
Rab Photon is good (or Generator Alpine)
Berghaus Ignite Hoody
Paramo Torres Jacket
plenty other brands available
If you want X then buy X. The need for a down jacket is about zero for the particular job in hand though (just stick an extra fleece in, layered under a good shell it'll all you need).
I'm not saying it's useless or overkill, just that it's not needed. My pal Dave is on the list of completed Munroists, doing a significant proportion in winter. His specialist walking clothing was boots and a shell and occasionally long-johns, other than that it was trousers and shirt you could turn up to work in (I rather suspect he did) and a woolly pully. Later on he turned gear junkie and got himself a fleece!
So it's not the case that you ought to get some special insulation to go up, but if you want to use it an excuse to justify some Retail Therapy then go right ahead.
I bought myself a downie about 15 years into my main Munro career, again with lots of winter in there, including climbing beforehand. They're nice but they are absolutely not necessary. Mine mostly gets used camping.
Peter Clinch wrote (see)
So it's not the case that you ought to get some special insulation to go up,
Rather than splashing out specifcally for this one event, why not think hard on what you might need in the future? If, say, you might get into winter camping, bothies etc, a down jacket wud be really useful. If more walking, less nights out, a primaloft jacket would be handy, or simplest, another fleece. Maybe thicker or thinner than what you have already?
PHD do a very nice range of lightweight down jackets. I have a Minimus and it's fabulous. I also have heavier, warmer jackets for colder conditions - the lighter ones would be best for you, I suspect - and light enough to take!
Enjoy trip - good luck!
But the OP is talking of spending some time at the summit. I think I'd take a down just in case.
Ever been winter climbing? When you're belaying you can be stood around for "some time", not even able to move much. My entire pitched winter climbing "career" (given up in favour of ski touring) was long before I had a down jacket, or anything like it. You can't get past it being a nice but ultimately unnecessary bit of kit in the UK.
Rather than splashing out specifcally for this one event, why not think hard on what you might need in the future?
Sound advice!

If it's related to business, then it is not rude at all to use the business internet connection to find the cheapest flights/accommodation/what have you, especially if you're the one who's paying for this trip.

Distinction |
Cocoon Ventures is a very distinct venture firm. We are a Silicon Valley venture firm with support from Mitsubishi's Innovation Kitchen in Tokyo. Separately, the two firms serve as cross-border counterparts; however, together we function as a single venture family. This is an important difference. We don't just invest separately in our locales – we collaborate. Our strength comes from reaching smart entrepreneurs all over the world and leveraging new and traditional venture models to launch startups with significant advantage. Along with a global perspective, we maintain a network of thought leaders who help us in understanding the ecosystem around a venture. This means that we may consider investment in your venture as both a standalone company, or as a part of something larger. By doing so, we help all of our portfolio companies realize their full potential. Flexible StructureThere are several investment options available to entrepreneurs that work with us; however, the options available to your venture will depend on our partnership's view of your specific venture and industry.
Cross BorderJust because a technology is born in one locale doesn't mean that there isn't a better market entry point in a different geography. Cocoon Ventures invests with a global perspective. Our cross-border approach allows us to aggregate and collect technologies from all over the world then aggregate deploy them in the most optimal geography. What does that mean for your venture? Well, it may make more sense to leverage your technology and launch company in a different geography or work together with us to expand your venture to multiple geographies. Let's say you're located in the US and you have a world changing mobile phone platform or application. It might make more sense to use our network to reach Japanese mobile carriers right away. Why?

Zombie Arena Is Yet Another Zombie Shooter
Today I decided to step away from energy drinks, and review a good ol' fashioned zombie slaughtering flash game, just like grandma used to make. Anyways, I popped open Mozilla, and went straight to my second favorite source of flash games, Addicting Games. I looked at their front page and noticed Zombie Arena. That's where the loathing began.
As a zombie hunting enthusiast, it was my duty to try this game out. First off, I wish to say that the name was very misleading. I assumed that I would be in control of a character in some sort of arena, but that dream was crushed as the player is in the middle of a forest. I decided to overlook this, and proceed with the game. You start off with the only weapon you'll need, the Shotgun. For my first 300 kills, I used nothing but the shotgun. As the game proceeded, the difficulty barely wavered. In fact, the only time I got close being challenged, I unlocked the Minigun, which allowed me to singlehandedly stave off the entire zombie invasion without moving. Of course, the major fault with the Minigun is that it has no splash damage. Only the zombie who you're pointing the gun directly at takes any damage. Now, moving more into game play, Zombie Arena is painfully easy. I lasted 11 minutes no sweat, and only died because I left my keyboard. The AI is also incredibly stupid. Even for a flash game, the zombies were getting stuck behind trees, making them easy targets for my ill-gotten shotgun.
All in all, I would say avoid this game. You get a far better zombie shoot-em-up in Endless Zombie Rampage or The Last Stand 2. Go play one of those instead.

I don't agree with that..Turks might order some Typhoons in addition to F-35. Greece is also planning to buy some Typhoons after 2011 and for strategic reasons it will certainly acquire some Rafales as well ,an aircraft which is outside the reach of the Turks. Remember,the HAF operates Viper's and M2K's in the same squadron combining the potentials of both fighters.
The Turkish Air Force had some serious problems with this combination in the past as they couldn't handle the Mirage effectively in high altitudes.

I also heard a few times that the mirage has higher maneuverability than the viper at higher altitude. Is that because of the larger wing area, the snecma engine, aerodynamics or something else? OTOH, is the maneuverability issue really important today when we consider the point missile and radar tech has come today? (Mock-up dogfights when we play with each other is something but the real life is totally different) Not just the radar on the aircraft itself but the AWACS and land-based radars also. Noone is almost invisible today, I guess.

The staff general and commander of the Turkish Air Force, Faruk Cömert, has stated that 30 new F-16s will be purchased until 2011.
So, now we come to a point at last...
On the other hand, we still do not know whether these new aircraft will replace the non-modernised F-4E Phantoms or are the supplements for the previous losses.

Does that mean Turkey says definitely NO to Eurofighter and YES to F-35 after 2011.?

"Does that mean Turkey says definitely NO to Eurofighter and YES to F-35 after 2011.?"
I do not think so... A total of 240 F-16 aircraft were purchased and 25 of them were lost in the accidents untill now. These new 30 Block 52 aircraft may be for the supplementation for those losses. If so, as I have stated in my previous posts, two squadrons flying with nonmodernised F-4E Phantoms will have to be modernised, meaning that there will be more purchases. These squadrons, if it is as I know it, 112 and 172, are more of air-interception squadrons and may receive some 40 EF2000 aircraft. Then, by 2015-2020, when the F-35s are received, the Terminators and Block30 F-16s may be replaced. So we may see EF2000s, F-16C Block30-40-50-52s and F-4E Terminators flying all together in the near future and at about 2020s, EF2000s, F-16C block40-50-52s and F-35s may be defending the Turkish skies.

Maybe they want to keep up, or ahead of the Greek. Greece had interest in buying the EF2000. They didn't because of the cost overrun of the Olympics they organized. But what if they do buy the EF2000. Then the Turks have block 60's against EF2000.. you do the math..

30 new F-16s will be Block 50 aircraft, rather than Block 52+. They will be purchased with features (such as AN/APG-68 (V9) radar) which would be added to the other F-16s in the upgrade programme underway. The cost of the purchase will be around 2.9 billion USD.
I think that this proves these aircraft will be the supplementations for the lost F-16 aircraft, not replacing the non-modernised F-4E Phantoms.
The next purchase, I guess, will be a batch of 40 EF2000s. But who knows, may there be a surprise and we may see Su-35s flying over Turkish skies?

In my opinion, no more F-4E upgrades should be made. I do not find it wise. Instead of giving that much money to those grandfathers' time aircraft, attrition losses plus a few more F-16 aircraft may be purchased.
Traditionally TuAF used to fly with a single engine, light fighter aircraft supporting twin engine fighter-bombers, such as F-104 and F-4E in the past and F-16C and F-4E recently. Now that the F-4E aircraft are retiring, one would think to replace them with a new twin engine fighter bomber. In the 1990's we were expecting the Peace Onyx II would be 160 Block50 F-16C aircraft rather than 80 that had actually been purchased. Also the F-4E fleet would be modernised with F-15E Strike Eagles. But that has never happened nor there is a need for such that expenditure now.
On the other hand, if the active aircraft remains as the existing fleet of F-16C's, 215 aircraft are not sufficient to defend the Turkish Air Space. As one inspects the capabilities of the F-16E/F Block60 aircraft it can be realised that it can substitute a twin engine fighter bomber both for the Turkish and Hellenic Air Forces. When we begin receiving F-35A fighters by 2015, F-16C and F-16E fighters can still be used, when despite an upgrade, the F-4E's would be useless.
215 F-16C Block 30-40-50
30 F-16C Block 52+ for atrition losses
80 F-16E Block 60 for substitution of F-4E's.............315 F-16 fighters.
Supported by 4 B-737 AEW&C aircraft and 8 KC-135 tankers.
Wow! That's far better than Brazilian Air Force...

Well, Brazil is not in the most "caliente" area of the world as well
No need for expensive systems !
"144-0 kill ratio.....Ok 144-1 but that's 1 compared to your entire airforce."

NEW YORK — What's in an inch? Apparently, enough missing meat, cheese and tomatoes to cause an uproar.
Subway, the world's largest fast food chain with 38,000 locations, is facing widespread criticism after a man who appears to be from Australia posted a photo on the company's Facebook page of one of its footlong sandwiches next to a tape measure that shows the sub is just 11 inches.
More than 100,000 people have "liked" or commented on the photo, which had the caption "Subway pls respond." Lookalike pictures popped up elsewhere on Facebook. And The New York Post conducted its own investigation that found that four out of seven footlong sandwiches that it measured were shy of the 12 inches that makes a foot.
The original photo was no longer visible by Thursday afternoon on Subway's Facebook page, which has 19.8 million fans. A spokesman for Subway, which is based in Milford, Conn., said Subway did not remove it.
Subway also said that the length of its sandwiches may vary slightly when its bread, which is baked at each Subway location, is not made to the chain's exact specifications.
"We are reinforcing our policies and procedures in an effort to ensure our offerings are always consistent no matter which Subway restaurant you visit," read an e-mailed statement.
The Subway photo — and the backlash — illustrates a challenge companies face with the growth of social media sites like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. Before, someone in a far flung local in Australia would not be able to cause such a stir. But the power of social media means that negative posts about a company can spread from around the world in seconds.
"People look for the gap between what companies say and what they give, and when they find the gap — be it a mile or an inch — they can now raise a flag and say, 'Hey look at this,' I caught you," said Allen Adamson, managing director of branding firm Landor Associates in New York.
Subway has always offered footlong sandwiches since it opened in 1965. A customer can order any sandwich as a footlong. The chain introduced a $5 footlong promotion in 2008 as the U.S. fell into the recession, and has continued offering the popular option throughout the recovery.
An attempt to contact someone with the same name and country as the person who posted the photo of the footlong sandwich on Subway's Facebook page was not returned on Thursday. Continued...
But comments by other Facebook users about the photo ran the gamut from outrage to indifference to amusement. One commenter urged people to "chill out." Another one said she was switching to Quiznos. And one man posted a photo of his foot in a sock next to a Subway sandwich to show it was shorter than a "foot."
"I've never seen so many people in an uproar over an inch. Wow," read one Facebook post. "Let's all head to McDonald's and weigh a Quarter Pounder," suggested another poster.
The Subway footlong photo is just the latest in a string of public relations headaches that were caused by a negative photo or event about a company going viral.
Last year, a Burger King employee tweeted with a picture of someone standing in sneakers on two tubs of uncovered lettuce. Domino's Pizza employees posted a video on YouTube of workers defacing a pizza in 2009. And a KitchenAid employee last year made a disparaging remark about President Obama using the official KitchenAid Twitter account.

Genesis and the Genome
This article provides an overview of genomics evidence for common ancestry and hominid population sizes, and briefly discusses the implications of these lines of evidence for scientific concordist approaches to the Genesis narratives.
Science as an Instrument of Worship
NASA astronomer Jennifer Wiseman asserts that studying creation can show us the nature of God; science can inform us of what we need to do as stewards of God's creation; understanding the natural world gives us a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ; and science can give us a better understanding of ourselves. This essay was presented at the November 2009 Theology of Celebration Workshop.
Faithful Poetics and Christian Knowledge of the World
Artist and BioLogos Senior Fellow Mark Sprinkle describes the importance of acknowledging the creative and subjective aspects of human knowledge in the midst of the debates about the relationship between science and faith.
The Cambrian 'Explosion', Transitional Forms, and the Tree of Life

The Essential Speed and Agility Move.
Each of the workouts in this series begins with the Stationary March because it teaches you the fundamentals of speed and agility. You can add resistance, movement, change the speed, change the rhythm and add kick outs or hip rotations. All these variations make up the bulk of traditional speed and agility exercises. These are the same exercises that guys like Hussein Bolt and NFL running backs use during their track workouts.
The Stationary March is also a great exercise for slimming your waistline and building dynamic strength and flexibility in your lower abdominals, hip flexors, glutes and hamstrings.
The first four steps of this exercise are critical because they deal entirely with your posture. Maintaining great posture while you exercise is the secret to getting great abs. To learn more secrets about great posture read Excellent Posture as a Fitness Goal.
Exercise Type: Lower Body
Repetitions: 10 - 20
1. Suck in your stomach. Keep it held in through out the exercise.
2. Move your center of balance off your heels and towards the middle of your feet.
3. Tuck your hips underneath you by flexing your gluteal muscles.
4. Keep you shoulders back and relaxed.
5. Raise one knee up making sure that your foot moves straight up underneath your body, not out in front.
6. Flex your foot and ankle upward. (Pull up with your toes)
7. At its highest position, your flexed ankle should pass directly by your support knee.
8. Lower your foot and knee to the start position.
9. Arm action is normal.

Written by PETA
The developer of the Android phone's new game apparently has a heart like a robot too. Kage Games, LLC, touts its Dog Wars app as "a game that will never be in the iPhone App store." And for good reason. Dog Wars encourages people to train virtual dogs to fight to the death and challenge other phone users to "dogfights." Alicia Silverstone was so appalled when she heard about the app that she wrote a letter to the CEO of Google, maker of the Android, and Kage Games, asking that they pull the game right away:
"As a mom-to-be and someone who has adopted and loved rescued pit bulls, I join PETA's millions of members in imploring you to cancel this game immediately. If one dog dies as a result of this game, you will not forgive yourself."
Dogfighting is so cruel that it is a felony in all 50 states, but underground dogfighting continues, and the Dog Wars game does nothing but encourage this violence against dogs and other animals.
You can help by contacting the Android market team and politely asking it to stop selling this sadistic "game."

BRATTLEBORO -- The transportation administrator for the Vermont Agency of Transportation's second district said on Thursday there is no truth to a claim that highway work has the potential to harm an eagle nesting area in Rockingham.
Tammy Ellis also said trees are being cleared about 12 feet off the road from U.S. Route 5 and not on any town roads, as has been suggested. She said in addition to allowing more sunlight to hit the road to melt snow in the winter, clearing the trees will eliminate hazards caused by the falling of limbs during storms.
She said no work is being done on Missing Link Road -- like a local has claimed -- and no harm is being done to the environment.
"This happens every single time we take out a chain saw," she said in regards to the claims.
Loren Lorenzetti, of Rockingham, has told the Reformer work was being conducted near an eagle nesting area. He said he made some telephone calls to the highway department as well as state wildlife officials, which he said resulted in the work going on hiatus for the rest of the day. He said the land was donated to the state four years ago because it is a nesting area.
Forrest Hammond, a wildlife biologist with Vermont Fish & Wildlife, said he has heard the Route 5 tree-clearing is occurring at least a quarter-mile from the specific nesting area, which he said is along the Connecticut River in Rockingham. He said he plans to visit Missing Link
Lorenzetti said he believed a meeting between highway and wildlife officials was scheduled for Thursday morning but it has not been confirmed that any such meeting took place. Attempts to contact Lorenzetti on Thursday were unsuccessful.
Ellis said she was unaware if work was put on hold for a day following the phone calls Lorenzetti allegedly made to state officials.
She was unable to provide a specific distance the work is being done on but said it "goes up quite a ways" north toward Springfield.
Hammond said there are no specific laws restricting how work can be conducted around eagle nesting areas. He said, however, that it is important to cooperate with landowners to make sure they and the eagles have all necessary resources.
Hammond said he is "not overly concerned" about the situation in Rockingham but will look into it.
Though all birds of prey are protected by federal law, the bald eagle was downlisted from the federal endangered species list nearly 10 years, Hammond said. The biologist said, however, it is still on Vermont's list.
He said there has been a very successful attempt to revitalize the bald eagle, the national bird of the United States.
"Eight years ago, there were no eagles in the state," he said on Thursday. "I just got a report that said there are now nine different nests that are being monitored.
"Every year, we're finding more eagles in the state," he continued. "We're very excited."
Hammond said eagles started nesting in a specific tree in Rockingham several years ago. It was the first time in about 70 years, he said, that the birds were making their home in Vermont. But the eagles were forced to find their new nesting area along the river when the tree blew down in a windstorm about seven years ago.
He said there are two young eagles at the site in Rockingham and three at the one in Springfield.

BILLINGS — Opponents of a proposed railroad that would open southeastern Montana's coal fields to new mining are asking federal officials to revoke the project's application.
The Rocker Six Cattle Co. and Northern Plains Resource Council filed a petition asking the Surface Transportation Board to seek a new application before making a decision on the proposed Tongue River Railroad.
They say a new plan to route the railroad through Colstrip significantly understates the number of coal-hauling trains that would use the line.
The planned railroad is co-owned by BNSF Railway, Arch Coal and candy-industry billionaire Forrest Mars, Jr.
BNSF, which would operate the line, says the Colstrip route would have fewer impacts than the original route through Miles City.

Beauty Tricks to Look Great in Pictures
The holiday season usually means a lot of picture-taking. Whether you'll be posing with your fam or rocking a sexy santa outfit for a naughtier pic, these makeup products will help you look your best in front of the lens.
By Dawn Davis
Sure, the camera, lighting and the way you stand all help you look better in photos (you can read those look-sexy tips here), but your makeup can make a serious difference, too. We've rounded up the products that guarantee a great pic.
Start With a Primer
A primer will help even out your skin so your foundation glides right on. This one also has light-reflecting particlestranslation: the flash from the camera will give you a soft, pretty glow instead of showing every tiny imperfection.
NP Set Pre Foundation Primer, $29, target.com
NP Set Pre Foundation Primer, $29, target.com
Opt For HD Foundation
If you're going to be taking serious pictures (we're talking engagement photos or your hottest profile pic ever), invest in a high-definition foundation. They were originally developed for actresses and news anchors on HD TVto hide literally everything. This one also looks invisible when you wear it, and it comes in a ton of shades.
Make Up For Ever HD Foundation, $40, sephora.com

Chose the Right Concealer
If your concealer is too light, you'll have halos around your eyes. If it's too dark, you'll look like you have circles. This one is great because it adjusts to your skin. Problem solved!
Rimmel Match Perfect Skin Tone Adapting Concealer, $5.99, ulta.com
Rimmel Match Perfect Skin Tone Adapting Concealer, $5.99, ulta.com
Wear Blush And Bronzer
If you opt for just one or the other, your face can look flat on film. Start with bronzer on your cheekbones and around the outside of your face; then, apply blush just to the apples of your cheeks.
Nars Blush-Bronzer Duo, $40, narscosmetics.com

Try a Set of Falsies
Even if you think false lashes look a little too, well, false in real life, they look awesome on camera. Try them once, and you'll never want to leave the house without them.

Don't Forget Your Smile
If you have time to whiten before the photo sesh, we recommend these quick strips from Crestyou'll notice a big change in only 2 hours. If you're posing for impromptu shots, try a lipgloss with a hint of blue like CoverGirl Wetslicks Amazemint in Happy Hour. The tint magically makes your chompers look whiter.

Piling on powder can make your skin look dull in pics. Use an oil-absorbing sheet to blot away shine instead.

Jeanie Gooden's Paintings Are Abstract Graffiti
I love Jeanie Gooden's abstract paintings. She has a beautiful sense of colour, texture and balance, there's a great sense of calm to her work. Like many successful artists she's self-taught and being from Nashville was initially inspired by music. However it was to be visual art that was her calling and after working in galleries for years she eventually pursued painting as a full time profession. Her work is all about process and technique, the canvases painted, scraped, etched upon, stitched and glazed – she calls it abstract graffiti. The work an expression, a thought, a conversation between herself and the canvas.
These days she spends much of her time in Mexico and the country has had a fundamental impact on her work:
Painting in an ancient city of beautiful architecture and rich colour impacts my work in ways that I didn't expect…but are delightful to me. The textures of Mexico, created by its deep cultural history, have become an intimate part of my work.

Latest Digital Camera Reviews / Previews
With its unique 46-megapixel Foveon sensor and sharp 28mm-equivalent lens, the compact Sigma DP1 Merrill delivers some of the most breathtakingly dynamic and high-resolution images we've ever seen from a digital camera in its price range. However, the camera has some severe limitations, as image quality drops off quickly above ISO 400 and its performance, usability and flexibility trail well behind the competition. Check out our in-depth Sigma DP1 Merrill review to see if we've become full Foveon fanatics, or if we're stuck on its shortcomings.

Smaller, lighter and less expensive than the very similar E-PL5, the Olympus E-PM2 is a surprisingly sophisticated option for photographers looking to step up from their point-and-shoots into an interchangeable-lens camera. The entry-level PEN E-PM2 is fast and fun to use, but most importantly it takes great pictures, thanks to the 16-megapixel Live MOS sensor it shares with the high-end Olympus E-M5. With no physical Mode dial and few settings buttons, the E-PM2 relies heavily on touchscreen operation, which may be a turn off for some. Check out our Olympus E-PM2 review to see if it's the right compact system camera for you.

Inheriting a ton of high-tech DNA from the acclaimed Olympus OM-D E-M5 -- including its 16-megapixel Live MOS sensor -- the Olympus E-PL5 is a pint-sized powerhouse with image quality that rivals more expensive digital cameras, including the E-M5 itself. A fast performer, the E-PL5 captures rich, detailed photos even in low light, and boasts a ton of advanced photographic capabilities and immensely customizable functions -- although you have to navigate its maddening menu system to find them.

Just days after Nikon announced the Coolpix S800c, Samsung responded with its Samsung Galaxy Camera, setting the stage for an epic battle, and pitting one of the most recognized brands in imaging against a consumer electronics giant with a long history in smart devices. Each camera trod a different path: Nikon went small, conservative, and camera-like; Samsung grafted a high-end smartphone and a long-zoom digital camera. We reviewed both side by side.

Despite its lineage, the Canon 6D is more than just a mini 5D Mark III. Though Canon has had to nip and tuck a few things to make the 20.2-megapixel, full-frame 6D smaller and more affordable, it still squeezes in a ton of advanced features -- including built-in WiFi and GPS -- and delivers stunning images and videos that rivals those of more expensive cameras. Overall, the 6D is a well-designed, responsive shooter that should appeal to prosumers, enthusiasts and novices alike.
