26th ANNUAL "FORDE'S DAYBREAK"WEST WATERFORD ATHLETIC CLUB WINTER LEAGUE.added round
February 19 @ 8:00 am - 6:50 pm
26th ANNUAL "FORDE'S DAYBREAK"WEST WATERFORD ATHLETIC CLUB WINTER LEAGUE
This league is sponsored by Kevin Ford of Forde's Daybreak on the Youghal road is the country's original winter league is now proudly in its 26th year and will be held over a period of 13 weeks this year with 7 nights of league running before Christmas and 6 nights after Christmas.We will have the traditional Christmas break finishing on Wednesday night December 18th, our final league run in 2019, and the league will resume on Wednesday night January 8th.Entry will remain the same as previous years 2 Euro per night to members of the club and 3 Euro to non-members. As was the case last year there will be a once off payment on registration night of 5 Euro. This extra amount will be used to cover the cost of purchasing the numbers which are quite expensive but they are waterproof and have to be used each night for the duration of the league. This year for the first time also you can pay for the entire league with a once off payment and save yourself some money by doing so. For club members you can pay 30 euro (this includes the 5 euro once off number payment) and for non members you can pay a once off payment of 40 euro which also includes the 5 euro number payment charge.The various division positions are made during the Christmas break and will be displayed weekly on our return night in January. Remember rule number one, no bib no run! Rule number 2, no watches. Rule number 3 no head phones or any music devices. With the huge increases in numbers in our recent leagues at the Friary we are expecting big numbers this year for the winter league. We urge all those who did come along to the Friary not to stop running now after making such great strides at the leagues but to continue by taking part in the winter league,you will be glad you did.

Before I outline how this could be done, I should explain why I didn't hand in this article last week, as originally promised. I faced computer problems that Bell Telephone's exasperating voicemail machines couldn't respond to, on the very same day I was trying to pack for an eight-day canoe trip while writing a complex article.

It was my mental health version of a perfect storm, a scenario many urban readers will easily identify with. My amygdala, and especially my cingulate cortex — which is supposed to manage negative emotions — weren't firing due to my crazy-making urban environment. I had to postpone my deadline, but took a story outline with me during a delightful trip to the northern Ontario wilderness area of Killarney Park, where seven of us, led by Debbie Field and Dave Kraft of Beautiful North, clambered into canoes for eight days of virtual isolation.
Nature lover though I be, I didn't relish a truly natural experience with brown bears, black flies, deer flies, or even fish that had to be beheaded and cleaned. Indeed, I found that human more than natural connections (perhaps for the natural reason that humans are also part of Nature) were part of the healing power of adapting to natural environments.
To start with, life on a canoe trip requires hours of strenuous physical exertion every day, and vigorous exercise is a well-known contributor to mental, as well as physical, well-being. Entire days spent beneath the open sun makes for big doses of Vitamin D, increasingly credited with promoting psychological as well as physical health. The hard day's work, together with the absence of outlets for TV or computers at night, means more sleep, yet another producer of mental health.
When all the science experiments are said and done, figuring out the basics of mental health is pretty natural, and shouldn't rely overly on the genius attributed to rocket scientists or brain surgeons.
The way Nature works on our minds is more complex than many of us imagine. Peace and quiet is the normal way people express the calming effect of being close to Nature, for example. That's not how I experienced it.
Nature is anything but quiet or peaceful, but the sounds of everyday life in the woods are more soothing and harmonious, less grinding and nerve-wracking than, say, a humming refrigerator or police car siren. Nature is anything but clean, neat, gleaming and bright, but the repetitive (fractal) patterns of leaves and waves are as calming and soothing as the earth toned shades of rock and land.
Conversations are slow and easy, since there's no need to catch up on the fly before moving on to the next appointment. We relate comfortably with one another, and it feels natural to rely on every one to do their share, to the best of their ability, in a reality where use values – a fire, a fish, clean water – are what counts, not exchange values. Slow food is not just a good choice, it's the only option, which made for lots of fun at least three times a day.
And York University environmental educator Deb Barndt helps us identify that we, like the breeze, exist in relationship to our campsites, and that we are guests, not owners who control it. In eating and breathing, we feel the environment deep within us, and do not define the environment the way we do in the city — as outside of us.
Before going to sleep each night, we all took time to swat mosquitoes and gaze at the clear unlit skies holding up millions of stars. Impossible amidst the 24/7 bright lights of the Big City, this free light show gives us all some perspective on daily hassles, and fills us with the kind of gratitude and mystery that leads people to thank their lucky stars.
The absence of such a culture of activity, engagement and contribution, is a big part of the dark hole beneath Natural Deficit Disorder, I start to think.
In a world where all the things we need have to be carried on our backs, most things have to serve more than one purpose.
The multi-purpose trip scarf most canoeists wear around their necks, much like the Swiss army knives around makeshift tables, provide clues as to how we will come to our senses back in the city.
The scarf makes sure we don't become rednecks by protecting the neck from too much exposure to the sun. It can be dipped in the water to keep heads cool. It can be wrapped around hands holding hot handles of pots. It can wipe tables. It can tie things together. In an emergency, it can be a tourniquet.
It is a multi-tasker.
Once regional planners come alive to the planning considerations of cities designed for mental health, human scale and biophilic connections, they need to locate spaces and activities that can make pay the freight of high-spaced city land. This, in my opinion, is where urban agriculture wins its day in the sun.
What Swiss army knives and scarves are to multi-tasking in the wilds, urban agriculture is to multi-tasking in the cities, which is how it pays down the high cost of urban land to support it.
Gardens don't just grow food. They make use of the compost from the 40 percent of food purchases most city people waste. They can use rain water that otherwise flashfloods through sewers, many times more expensive to repair or expand than gardens are to support. They store carbon beneath the ground, they breathe out oxygen, they evaporate water on hot days. They bring people together to work and team up and provide an icebreaker for conversations. They increase public safety, thanks to plentiful supplies of what the great New York and Toronto planning critic Jane Jacobs called "eyes on the street." And gardens are usually pretty and pleasing to look at. Food is only one of a garden's productions, and not necessarily the most valuable or the most productive.
Because of its outstanding multi-tasking potential – the formal term for this is elegance – urban ag is the most efficient and productive way to add more green space and biophilic opportunities to cities.
It is part of a natural threesome for cities of the future attuned to the human brain's innate need for Nature.
One part of the threesome is school curriculum and space supporting food production, an important baseline for overcoming what Richard Louv famously calls Nature Deficit Disorder among children. "No child left inside," he chants.
Another part of the threesome is green or living machine architecture, championed by the Toronto-based Green Roofs for Healthy Cities, which supports green walls and roofs as well as water cleaning with aquatic plants. Where life-based infrastructure can displace cement and metal, it should be done, since it the job gets done both well and beautifully.
Judith Heerwagen, an environmental psychologist who's edited a prize-winning anthology on biophilic design, told the Toronto magazine Living Architecture Monitor that she sees such technologies as contributing Vitamin G (green) to the world. Because "nature nurtures," she says, green technologies will "play a significant role in urban public health."
Alongside reform to the educational and built environment, food production in parks, backyards, boulevards, balconies and windowsills completes the threesome of new elements that can enhance today's recreational parks.
To my mind, such infrastructure addresses a central paradox of the next century, likely to be known as the Urban Century, in which over 60 percent of the world's population is urban.
Cities are economically unbeatable because their placement of so many people and functions in so little space creates so many opportunities for cooperation and exchange, and for producing at scale – what Toronto author and green energy expert Jeb Brugmann calls the Urban Advantage.
This great strength has its own counterpoint — great fragility owing to an overly manufactured environment distanced from human scale and needs.
Nor does a manufactured environment hold out much promise for future physical health in the Big City.
In late July, the U.S. Center for Disease Control issued a media release on extreme heat events, holding them responsible for 675 premature deaths a year, more than the combined number killed by tornadoes, floods, hurricanes and lightning combined.
Living roofs and walls, which cool air through evaporation, are naturals when it comes to coping with such heat. By contrast, heat-storing cement, metal and pavement based technologies only compound health risks.
Heat events will be equally stressful for Toronto, where an average of 120 people a year have died prematurely due to heat stress over the past several decades.
To bring the city into harmony with human needs, cities will need to get their outside-in and inside-out with nature into shape. Figuring out stuff like is what brains are supposed to be good for. We now know it's also what brains need.

INTERVIEW: Mikey Wax
I recently got a chance to sit down, or rather, stand in a parking lot and talk with up and coming singer/songwriter, Mikey Wax. There was no green room so were were standing next to his lovely new minivan at Velo Cult which can only be described as the most Portland, Oregon place on the planet. It's a bike shop and a pub. Told you it's so very Portland. We discussed his first headlining tour and of course his music. Take a look at the conversation below! You can purchase…Read More

Player Projections, Rankings & Cheatsheets
Change Log – 8/25
- Peyton Manning (-3) The signing of Collins doesn't bode well for Manning's Week 1 status.
- Tim Tebow (-6) may not even be the #2 QB when the season starts.
- Kerry Collins (#37) has little value unless Manning's injury is long-term.
Running Backs
- Matt Forte (-1) may lose more touches to Marion Barber than he did to Chester Taylor last year.
- Ahmad Bradshaw (-3) will likely split carries with Jacobs on an even basis this year.
- Cedric Benson (-7) could find tough sledding in an offense with a rookie QB.
- Reggie Bush (+5) being named the starter doesn't hurt your fantasy value.
Wide Receivers
- Roy Williams (+2) has been handed a starting WR spot but isn't making the most of the opportunity. He's being out-played in camp by Knox.
- Mike Sims-Walker (+2) is running with the first team in St. Louis but this position still needs to shake itself out.
Tight Ends
- Greg Olsen (+8) will likely be the team's 2nd leading receiver.

I probably won't tweak the palette too much, other than possibly adding some more contrast to the background tiles. And no worries, plain versions are in the works as well.

Whats God Got to Do With It / byMassingale, a F.A.S.C. Concept by Henry Massingale, I guess some people have lost the abilty to even know if there is a God or not. I am forbidden by faith to show you God, but I am permited to show you a Evil by the hand of Man.
I am going to share a small part of me, when my twins were born, one of them got sick with the croup, I feared, as little she is and it was a cold hard winter, with all my heart I new she would pass away if I did not help. With all of my children, I all ways did this, I got her in my arms and I placed her on my chest, as she placed her ear to my heart I would all ways say, God give her a part of my streingth, so that she may live. I held her for 14 hours and I did not move until she was better.
As for most of us we are so torn when we lose a loved one and some just stop caring about other children because of their lose.
We are faced with so many issues within the United States Of America, and even as I bring a protest against this Govenment System, I have been called a fool for reaching out to proctect Officials, it is because this is what the Constitution is all about, the right to be of free choice, The Constitution does not protect the right of Freedom of Speech when a people seek to kill others.

OLDHAM chairman Simon Corney has indicated that manager Paul Dickov's job is safe -- for now.
Speculation was rife that the Scot, who led the Latics to a stunning 3-2 win against Premier League side Liverpool in the FA Cup yesterday, faced the sack due to the club's miserable form in League One.
They have drawn one and lost seven of their last eight games to sit a point above the relegation zone, but Corney said today: "I think Paul's okay for the time being.
"Paul and I have a great working relationship and Paul puts pressure on himself. If you lose seven out of eight games (in the league) then you're going to be under pressure.
"Hopefully this will be the kick-start and we won't be talking about Paul's job again."
Corney handed Dickov a vote of confidence on New Year's Eve despite placing assistant manager Gerry Taggart, reserve team boss Lee Duxbury and fitness coach Paul Butler on gardening leave.
He then refused to offer assurances over Dickov's future after full-time yesterday, saying: "We know we have poor form in the league and things need to be changed.
"Football changes. People are very fickle, fans are very fickle, everyone is very fickle. Nothing will take away from the fact I need to change things to stay in this division.
"Let's see what happens. Nothing has been decided and I couldn't tell you any more than that.
"If you asked 1,000 people last week if we should change the manager, 999 would have said yes. Today 999 would say no."

Tuesday marks 6 months since Sikh temple shooting
Mayor says schools working to teach students about other cultures
It's been six months since a white supremacist opened fire at Oak Creek's Sikh temple, killing six people and injuring four others.
The founder and leader of the temple, Satwant Singh, was killed, along with Ranjit Singh, Sita Singh, Suveg Singh Khattra, Prakash Singh and Paramjit Kaur.
Pardeep Kaleka, whose father was killed in the temple attack, said in the months since the shooting, he's become more deeply involved in the community.
Remembering the tragedy, he said, serves an important purpose.
"I hope that everybody understands that just because we revisit something doesn't mean that we want to relive it. But we owe it to those people that we've lost to them as inspiration as far as being a better society," Kaleka said.
In the temple, pictures of the victims still hang, and a bullet hole is there too, as a poignant reminder of what happened.
It was quiet there Tuesday, with several worshippers going in to pray.
Oak Creek Mayor Steve Scaffidi said in the last six months, the city's schools have worked harder to teach students about other cultures.
"I know that the school districts are now incorporating a lot of that education into their awareness days, their heritage days, their diversity days, so that's already happening. And I just had a conversation with the schools superintendent yesterday about that. So that's ongoing," Scaffidi said.
The mayor also said efforts to protect places of worship have been ongoing.
Inside the temple, the phone number for Oak Creek Police is posted in several locations.

I dunno… maybe Real Housewives of Miami is growing on me. It's so… glossy. I mean, I'm a girl who loves a soap opera and since reality TV is just as staged and melodramatic as Revenge, why not amp up the glamour and make it look as glossy as Revenge. Although if Emily Thorne ever sports leopard print tuxedo trousers with a neon racing stripe Imma have serious issues.
So last night the bionic blonde trio of Lea Black, Joanna Krupa, and Fembot Fakenstein traveled to LA for a little wedding planning. You wouldda thought it was the first time these broads had been on an airplane before with all the handycam footage they were shooting. Lisa gleefully popped a tranquilizer of some sort then put both legs behind her head contortionist style and bragged that Lenny really likes that move. Um… I have never seen an adult woman that flexible – even in yoga – did she get her hipbones removed or something? Is she entirely made of high-grade silicone. She's definitely a fembot.
Then they arrive at Joanna's LA home, which is really pretty. Lisa looses track of her giant suitcase, which weighs approximately double what she does even when she wears 7" platforms. It starts rolling away from her down the driveway. She takes off after it fearing for the life of her Louboutins and ends up in the street desperately tripping over the giant thing. That was seriously the funniest scene I've ever seen on this show. It was classic and adorable.

From the city of the original handsyle, Junobo paint has a consistency and vividness like no other ink or paint in the game. Their one of a kind mixture really sets them apart from other brands. Over the years, many have tried to imitate but few have ever come close to Jonobo's feel and quality. This is why after so many years; Junobo is still making high quality graffiti products in smaller more artisanal batches, like they did back in the day. Their secret recipe allows full control from super clean lines to smooth drippy strokes that elegantly run nice and slow on most surfaces. There's nothing like Junobo.
Junobo Products

There are many different mops out there and a lot of them are amazing in their own right but none are exactly like the Junobos. It's kind of like tagging with slightly melted butter. The squeezer is also different giving it that extra special touch that sets it apart. Junobo mops come in nine eye popping colors which are also available in 4oz refill bottles.
We are in the process of adding new products.

August 15, 2005, Penn State's Breazeale Nuclear Reactor celebrated 50 years as the longest continuously operating university reactor in the United States.
According to a historical marker placed on the reactor site by the Penn State Alumni Association, "Penn State in 1955 became the first university licensed by the Atomic Energy Comission to operate a nuclear reactor as part of U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower's 'Atoms for Peace' program. Named for William Breazeale, Penn State's first professor of nuclear engineering, the reactor became a training and research tool for peaceful applications of atomic energy."
Licensed in July of 1955, the reactor went critical on August 15 of that year, and has been running ever since. It has been used for education, research, and service by University departments as varied as nuclear engineering, biology, anthropology, geosciences, and food science. In addition to aiding understanding of how reactors work and how to make them work better, the research reactor has provided a source of neutrons for basic and applied research including neutron activation analysis, neutron radiography, basic materials research, and radiation effects studies.
In 1992, the American Nuclear Society designated the Breazeale Reactor as a Nuclear Historic Landmark.
For more information about the reactor and its history, visit the Radiation Science and Engineering Center.

in process of updating this post to be less-shitty...give me a while
I want this thread to be a respectable place to hold discussion about GW2 thieves. so im going to try to dig up previous good conversations and post links to them. after that i would like any posts anyone finds useful or feels would be useful to link to the OP to be asked to be linked. just PM me if a discussion is good and ill edit in in
TEMP: please help scan through the thread... i really dont want to dig through 74 pages
also... try to focus on serious talk. if this thread becomes "lol you look up stuff on MMO champ? you bad" then I'm going to destroy you all...slowly... by making you bleed out through where your toenails used to be.
You have been warned.
Stuff you should probably know:
Initiative regens at a rate of 1 init every 1.67 seconds
Breaking stealth gives you "revealed" for 3 seconds preventing further stealth
The air burst on shortbow will shoot out farther if the projectile is high up and clump more together if low to the ground, useful for hitting the same target 3 times
Relatively useful discussions/posts to read:
Good example of using secondary weapons to set up combos which I've been trying to preach
Builds that don't focus on backstab
Relatively useful videos to watch:
tips on dodging the shit out of warriors (A/Sh;GS), (more)
Relatively useful steals that you should probably memorize:
Throw Gunk: creates an ethereal field.. o yea it also inflicts a random condition
/ Blinding Tuft/Throw Feathers: blinds enemies and stealths you. use it for stealth skills. they are awesome. this is pretty much the default steal item. You will find this a lot.
Eat Egg: it heals you. more importantly it restores 10 of your initiative. you get the most gain when you use it at 0-1 init since it has a 1 sec cast time
Consume ectoplasm: it gives you 1 stack of all boons. can be saved for when you need to take a hit or two since it will give you both aegis and protection along with regen. Use it BEFORE you're in deep shit
Relatively useful combos you should memorize:
- WATER: always try to finish a combo on water. it always heals. Whirls like death blossom and dagger storm will heal your buddies, leaps like heartseeker will heal yourself
- SMOKE: shooting any projectile will blind. if you head shot through it you will block up to 2 attacks, the daze will interrupt and the blind will stop the next attack. leap onto it to stealth yourself and follow up with a stealth move (heartseeker then backstab)
- ETHEREAL: Leap to give chaos armor to self to punish fast attackers. Projectiles (unload is good for this) will stack confusion to punish things attacking your buddies.
- LIGHT: since you have no cooldown on your skills it can be better for a thief to activate light combos. leaping will give retaliation. if your group is condition stacked try to whirl
- DARK: projectiles will give you life steal. if you're running pistol pistol drop shadow refuge and sneak attack then unload through it for copious amounts of heals. make sure you'll be able to do the unload once you come out from sneak attacking since refuge doesnt last long
- POISON: shortbow thieves can blast their poison fields, it helps to be close to it.
- FIRE: leaps will give you a sexy fire shield as per the elementalist skill. Shortbow's blast is easily spam able to stack might even more
- LIGHTNING: you can leap into this to daze your opponent giving a dagger mainhand additional control
Units of range in GW2 is in inches. problem is its usually easier to see the world in...shall we say... larger increments.
so he's a few nifty ranges and their conversions...
Range Feet Yards Meters 130 10.83 ft 3.61 yd 3.30 m 450 37.5 ft 12.5 yd 11.43 m 600 50 ft 16.67 yd 15.24 m 900 75 ft 25 yd 22.87 m 1200 100 ft 33.33 yd 30.49 m
Good to know damage formulas:
Here's the known condition damage formulae
Burning: (4 * Level) + (0.25 * Condition Damage) per second
Poison: Level + (0.1 * Condition Damage) per second
Bleeding: 2.5 + (0.5 * Level) + (.05 *Condition Damage) per stack per second
Confusion: 25 + (0.5 * Level) + (0.075 * Condition Damage) per stack per skill use
At level 80 that translates to...
Lvl 80 +0 +10 (trait) +35 (might) +100(10 traits) +1434 (max) Burning 320 322.5(+2.5) 328.75(+8.75) 345(+25) 678.5(+358.5) Poison 80 81(+1) 83.5(+3.5) 90(+10) 223.4(+143.4) Bleeding(per stack) 42.5 43(+.5) 44.25(+1.75) 47.5(+5) 114.2(+71.7) Confusion (per stack) 65 65.75(+.75) 67.625(+2.625) 72.5(+7.5) 172.55(+107.55)

Pelted Re-bar Desk by Ben Caldwell
Design and conceptualization has always come naturally to me. Luckily, it �is also something I am passionate about. I would consider my operation to be a studio furniture company using the skill and expertise of multiple craftsmen from different backgrounds. I am more concerned with using recycled materials in different arrangements than standardizing each piece. It� is those variables that make the furniture interesting. The very materials I work with play a central role in my design. I am interested in the juxtaposition of contrasting textures.

Note: There was a thread about this a few years ago. Times and software have changed so a fresh review of options is appropriate.
Like many others I like to peruse the Internet cleanly, securely and without being pestered by advertisements and popups. I also don't like being tracked. I'm not up to anything nefarious, I just don't like being a cog in someone's data collection scheme. Consequently I use some browser extensions to assist with cleaning up the mess we find in so many Web sites and to stop the tracking. What follows are some of my findings. They are all open to criticism; there is no magic solution.
At present, I have the following extensions on Firefox. Most, if not all will work on other browsers.
BetterPrivacy to remove "super cookies" generated by Flash.
Canvas Fingerprint Blocker which disables HTML5 tracking.
HTTPS Everywhere.
Privacy Badger. This looks to be good but bears caution. Privacy Badger will deteriorate your browser experience In a nutshell, Privacy Badger doesn't know when to stop and can eventually clog up your browsing experience. True? I don't know.
Self Destructing Cookies.
uBlock Origin.
User-Agent Switcher. This is not really necessary.
I have disabled the following.
Disconnect. It seems to do much of what uBlock Origin does. Is the overlap beneficial?
µMatrix. I installed this as a mate to uBlock Origin. Immediately, Youtube and a major newspaper site failed to load.
Noscript. The closest to a single add-on fix is undoubtedly Noscript. Personally I find it too much work to be constantly tuning it for each and every site visited. What some users do is to use the Tor Browser without Tor which gives Firefox with Noscript already configured. I haven't tried it but might.
Here are some articles with suggested add-ons. They don't always agree.

There have been numerous complaints this week that Samsung's new flagship phone, the Galaxy S4, only has about half of its memory free.
This applies to the 16 GB version, which has nearly 8 GB used up by the operating system, preinstalled apps from Samsung and its carrier partners, and the array of extra features Samsung added to Android.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
Samsung facing complaints that half the Galaxy S4's memory is used up when you first buy it Back to video
In a statement to CNET, Samsung said users have the option to add more memory with a SD card, something its rivals the HTC One and iPhone can't do.
Here's that statement:
For the Galaxy S4 16 GB model, approximately 6.85 GB occupies the system part of internal memory, which is 1 GB bigger than that of the Galaxy S3, in order to provide a high resolution display and more powerful features to our consumers. To offer the ultimate mobile experience to our users, Samsung provides a microSD slot on Galaxy S4 for extension of memory. However, you aren't allowed to install apps on the SD card, so it's really only good for storing extra music, photos, videos, etc. That means it's still pretty easy to quickly fill up the 16 GB model of the Galaxy S4, especially if you download large apps like graphics-intense games. Samsung's 6.85 GB figure apparently doesn't take into account the extra apps carriers preinstall on the phone. For comparison's sake, the iPhone's operating system uses up a little more than 1 GB of the phone's internal storage.

(Pocket-lint) - The Creative EP-3NC are active noise cancelling headphones, claiming to be able to cancel up to 90% of ambient noise. They are pitched at travellers who want to enjoy their music, without having the drone of aircraft engines marring the experience.
The EP-3NC are of the in-ear variety, so right from the off they offer a degree of noise isolation by providing a physical barrier. Three silicone tips are provided to get a good fit. Unusually we found the best fit was achieved with the largest size, as the tips are a little thin in their construction. More sturdy tips would have provided a better result in our opinion.
The EP-3NC actively monitor external noise and work to counter that noise. To do so you'll need to insert the included AAA battery into the control housing on the cable. It's quite a bulky lump overall, but does come with a clip so it can be secured to clothing to reduce cable swing and avoiding the headphones being pulled out of your ears.
The control housing features a power switch so you can engage noise cancellation, or switch it off. The battery life is rated at 100 hours and in all fairness, you don't need to be cancelling noise when you are not in a noisy environment. A monitor button cuts out the music, so you can hear what is going on around you, giving you a chance to order from the air steward or listen to the station announcements on the train.
With noise cancellation switched off, the headphones still function as normal, so even if the battery does go flat, you're not left with no tunes. In the box you also get a leatherette case and double adapter for use on some aircraft.
A minor pedantic point is that the cable is rather thick so it doesn't lie as naturally across your clothes or body as you might wish. We found that once clipped on, the section of cable above the control housing was poking us in the face and refused to be tamed by tucking it sensibly under a collar.
For those interested in the technobabble, the EP-3NC has external mics that listen to environmental noise and produce a sound in the exact opposite phase to cancel it out. The noise cancellation can cause some unusual sensations as the pressure changes in your ears, but it isn't as severe as some noise cancellation devices. It effectively cuts at a range of background noises; we found it most effective against the persistent hissy types, like constant train noises. You'll still hear background noise, but you won't have to adjust the volume of the music.
The performance of the headphones is also good, so you don't lose out for the inclusion of noise cancellation. There is plenty of bass on offer, giving the EP-3NC headphones a rich sound, great for everyday pop, rock or dance music, but can be a little blunt for dealing with the mid and higher ranges you'd want to get the most out of your classical music collection. The noise cancellation will clip some of the higher tones. This doesn't really matter for your pop music but if your main interest in orchestral, you might find some of the finer details don't make it through.
Noise cancelling headphones have proved popular with travellers who don't want to be constantly turning the volume up to still hear their music. We tested the EP-3NC on over- and underground trains in London and were impressed with the results. Without having the volume too high, we could happily ride the Tube without changing the volume.
We also liked the sound of these headphones, but the bassy noise won't be to everyone's taste: for some we suspect it will dull the brighter elements of their music too much. The asking price of £89.99 is not to be sniffed at either: it falls right into the ball park of some vary capable headphones.
The battery housing is a little bulky and the cable a little too stiff for our liking, but as a compact pair of noise cancelling headphones, they've found their way into our travel bag.

|Title: Invasive Species Management
|Abstract: The goal of the USDA Forest Service invasive species program is to reduce, minimize, or eliminate the potential for introduction, establishment, spread, and impact of invasive species across all landscapes and ownerships. The Department of Agricultures national invasive species program allows the Forest Service to take action against invasive species threats, yet no specific invasive species management policy has been developed to provide the broad guidance necessary for Agency activities addressing aquatic and terrestrial invasive species impacting the National Forest System lands or other areas of jurisdiction. The objective of this proposed action is to develop a Forest Service Manual chapter for invasive species management, and an accompanying Forest Service Handbook to provide a solid foundation on which to build a more effective invasive species program and meet the defined program goal. This policy will support both departmental and Agency-specific strategic plan goals and objectives for invasive species management.

Mike H."I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar!"
I am 66 years young and I still got it! I would have never known this if it had not been for Jamplay! I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar! Ha! I cannot express enough how great you're website is! It is for beginners and advanced pickers! I am an advanced picker and thought I had lost it but thanks to you all, I found it again! Even though I only play by ear, I have been a member a whopping whole two weeks now and have already got Brent's country shuffle and country blues down and of course with embellishments. Thank you all for your wonderful program!
Greg J."With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace"
I'm a fifty eight year old newbie who owns a guitar which has been sitting untouched in a corner for about seven years now. Last weekend I got inspired to pick it up and finally learn how to play after watching an amazing Spanish guitarist on TV. So, here I am. I'm starting at the beginning with Steve Eulberg and I couldn't be happier (except for the sore fingers :) Some day I'm going to play like Steve! I'm self employed with a hectic schedule. With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace, rewinding and replaying the videos until I get it. This is a very enjoyable diversion from my work yet I still feel like I'm accomplishing something worthwhile. Thanks a lot, Greg
Bill"I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students."
I am commenting here to tell you and everyone at JamPlay that I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students. I truly enjoy learning to play the guitar on JamPlay.com. Yes, I said the words, ""enjoy learning."" It is by far the best deal for the money.

I know my splits don't make any sense. That is why I was so shocked. My knees were a little stiff in the beginning, but I was not expecting such a drop in time. Had I run the whole race like I ran the last mile, I would have been in the top ten.
