By Earl Heath - Rita Long
Boston, one of the oldest cities in America, was first incorporated as a town in 1630 and then as a city in 1822. It is rich in economic and social history. As a homesteading community which evolved into a center for social and political change, Boston has become the economic and cultural hub of New England.
Boston's Omni Parker House Hotel is the place to be. The Omni Parker House is located at 60 School St. on 'Freedom Trail'. Open for the last 150 years, it is America's longest continuously operating hotel.
When the Parker House opened in 1855 Franklin Pierce was the 14th president of the United States. At the time there were only 31 states. Gold had been discovered in California.
Harvey D. Parker, the founder of the Parker House, came to Boston from Maine. This magnificent facility was originally a restaurant. Some of the world's most famous recipes came from Parker's staff. Origins from the kitchen include; Boston Crème Pie, Boston scrod, New England clam chowder and also the world famous Parker House rolls. There were great chefs and employees working in the Parker House restaurant and kitchen. Some of the chefs include Lydia Shire and Emeril Lagasse.
The Parker House was also a work haven for two cultural icons. Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh served as a baker in the bakeshop. Malcolm Little, also known as Malcolm X, from the nation of Islam was a busboy there during the Pearl Harbor invasion. Today many Asian visitors come by to see the table that Ho Chi Minh used to work on.
Denyce Graves, one of today's best known mezzo-soprano opera stars, worked the night shift as a telephone operator at the Omni Parker House Hotel.
Some of the suites are named after some of America's most visible people including former Massachusetts's socialite Henry Cabot Lodge and Mother Goose. Charles Dickens was a long term guest at the Omni Parker House staying from 1867 to 1868. A mirror where he practiced his characters is still in place for visitors to see in the hotel.
John F. Kennedy gave his first public speech as a seven year old in what is now known as the Press Room. Today it is used for meetings and dining and still holds a marble fireplace. Kennedy also announced his candidacy for president there and proposed to his wife Jacquelyn at table 40 in the restaurant.
In the new millennium, Gerry is one of the bright spots and mainstays in the restaurant. He has worked at the Parker House for 31 years while raising a family that included two young sons. "The biggest change is that people come here more relaxed and not so stuffy," said Gerry. "There are a great deal of regulars who come for lunch and dinner and you can usually tell what they want." Gerry is a youth basketball, soccer and baseball coach but loves his work here. He can answer any question you have on the Parker House or neighboring venues.
When you visit the Parker House, not only will you see history you will become part of it.
Once you venture out to surrounding areas, there is a multitude of sights to see.
One of America's most famous parties was held in Boston Harbor in 1773. The host of the masquerade Boston 'Tea Party' was Samuel Adams. Adams headed three companies of fifty men each on this December 16th night to board three ships and heave the tea into the harbor. This 'party' was duplicated at several other seaports.
You can go and visit the harbor where the party took place and also visit several other venues.
Boston's Black Heritage Trail has become familiar with African-American history in the city. It's a part of the National Parks Service. You can take guided and narrated tours. A walk along the trail is certain to enrich your knowledge of Black history in Boston. One of the more significant stops is at the African Meeting House. Once at the heart of Boston' African-American community, the African Meeting House was a church, a school, and a vital meeting place.
Bob's Southern Bistro located at 604 Columbus Avenue has been dishing out soul food at this location since 1968. You can sit with devoted patrons and enjoy Southern and Cajun specialties that include homemade meatloaf or the mustard fried catfish. They also have live Sunday jazz brunch with collard greens, black-eyed peas with smoked turkey and corn beef hash.
A must visit venue is The Union Oyster House which is the oldest continuously operating restaurant (about 250 years) in the United States. The owners consist of a brother /sister team Joseph Milano and MaryAnn Milano Picardi. She is also known as 'Ma'. They've owned the restaurant since 1970 and are only the third owners in the history of the restaurant. Ma is sensitive and extremely caring hostess. She has her handprint on everything from greeting you to taking your order or busing your table. "These are our guest. Where else would I be?" said Milano Picardi. "I love people and it's great to see them enjoy a good meal."
Downstairs there is an old-fashioned Yankee atmosphere where you can sit at a semi-circular oyster bar. On a busy day there are over 3,000 oysters shucked. You will be surrounded by hand-hewn wooden ceiling beams, wide-planked wood floors and sit in a cozy booth. It is such a captive environment to enjoy your meal. The menu is full of great items such as Shrimp Bisque, Lobster Scampi and Lazy Man Lobster which will knock your socks off. You will find the best lobster in the world here, boiled, broiled or baked.
Throughout their ownership millions have been served. The walls of this fine eatery have had the likes of noted lawyer and Secretary of State Daniel Webster. Another regular visitor was President John F. Kennedy. His visits were so frequent that there is a plaque that marks the upstairs booth which was his favorite.
Some other favorite visitors include: Tiger Woods, President Bill Clinton and Muhammad Ali. After visiting the Union Oyster House you will never taste food this good anywhere.
When planning your trip to Boston, you should fly Southwest Airlines for the best service and the best price. SWA has some of the lowest prices in the industry. You can land in Providence (T.F. Green Airport) and enjoy a 35 minute scenic ride through New England to Boston. Manchester, NH is also a great choice in that you have a quaint easy access airport. Your thirty minute ride to Boston will be more than pleasurable...SWA is celebrating its 35th year and is one of the strongest airlines for service and on time arrivals. From Providence to LAX the flight was fifteen minutes early in Chicago and on the final leg we touched down in LAX twenty minutes early. Awesome service was provided by Jorja, a fifteen year veteran of SWA, and Cheree who makes the greatest coffee at 30,000 feet.
"We work for the greatest airline around," said Cheree, a Detroit native.
SWA is an overall favorite to 62 cities in America.
In order to better serve our readership, the Black Voice News will present a series of vacation spots around America. We hope you, your companion and/or family enjoy them.

1. Web analysis, Retargeting, Third party cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored locally in the cache of the website visitor's internet browser. Cookies allow the internet browser to be recognised. There are different kinds of cookies, on the one hand, so-called session cookies, which are deleted once you close your browser, and on the other hand, temporary/permanent cookies, which are stored on your data carrier for a longer period of time or permanently.
On the one hand, topbonus uses session cookies, which are automatically deleted from the visitor's hard drive at the end of the browser session (end of the visit to the website). Session cookies are needed, for example, to enable customers to make flight bookings which extend over several pages.
In addition to this, topbonus also uses cookies which are stored for a longer period of time on the website visitor's hard drive. When this website is visited the next time, these cookies then recognise that the user has visited the site before and which entries and settings were given preference on previous occasions. These temporary or permanent cookies (which may have a lifetime of up to a year) are saved on the hard drive and are deleted automatically at the end of the specified time. These cookies are intended to make this websites more user-friendly, more effective and more secure and to help them meet customers' needs in the best possible way. In order to do this, they make it possible, without personally identifying the website visitor, to address targeted advertising to each internet browser, where an interest has already been shown in certain products. When a cookie is activated it is assigned a user ID. Personal data such as name, IP address or similar data are not associated with this user ID in any way and this is also not the intention. Only pseudonymised data is collected and saved using this cookie technology, such as which products are searched for, viewed or selected. On our websites technologies supplied by, e.g., etracker GmbH (www.etracker.com), doubleclick (http://www.google.com/doubleclick) or Google Analytics (http://www.google.com/analytics/) are used. These record information on topics such as which web pages you have visited in the past or which products you have shown an interest in, so that adverts can be displayed which correspond as far as possible to the interests of the website visitor, without, of course, allowing the pseudonymised data to be linked to personal data.
It is possible that the data you have entered may be shared and used by third party suppliers through third party offers which we make available. This will also only happen in anonymised form and no link can be made at any time to your personal data. We work with various advertising partners on the basis of retargeting technologies. These help us to constantly improve the product and services we offer. In particular it allows us to address any internet browser which has already shown interest in our products with promotion campaigns, without personally identifying the visitor to the respective website. Studies have shown that displaying interest-based advertising holds more appeal for internet users than advertising which is not necessarily related to the user's interests. With retargeting, the display of promotional material is related to a cookie-based analysis of behaviour on previous visits, when a user profile was created under a pseudonym. On our websites technologies supplied by the following advertising partners are used: criteo (www.criteo.com), YD World (www.ydworld.com), adara media (www.adaramedia.com).

In addition social plugins from the social networking site facebook.com (which is run by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA) are used ("Facebook"). These plugins are identified by a Facebook logo or the phrase "Facebook Social Plugin".

My SS Beer Keg BBQ
Hi, I'm new to this board (joined today) and will start off with some photos of the SS Beer Keg BBQ I made a year ago. I hope its not too much. I cut the keg in half with a Saws-All (not a fun job) but thats what I had. It's mostly bolted together because I don't have the capability to weld SS. Here on the Oregon Coast a Non Stainless BBQ will only last about thee years with out rusting away, we really like this one.
tack it
link, the best way that i have found is to tack the cut in a few places along the way. when i first started making bbq pits i ran into that problem. so when i get my rolled plate stock and i'm making the main chamber door all i do is start cutting and about 4 inches in, tack it, then cut through the middle and tack again and the about an inch from the edge i tack one more time then finish my cut, weld on the slip hinges and come back with an angle grinder and cut the tacks and you have a door.
LUGNUT, I REALLY LIKE YOUR GRILL..iS THAT SOME KIND OF LATCH YOU MADE... tHANKS, fARRISGone But Never Forgotten!

Try attaching all your framing before cutting in half, including your hinges. You'll find it will hardly spring at all! The more framing you have, the more strength you have.

For Fyoung
Not a special latch. It is a "stop" to keep the lid from folding back too far. As for warping out of shape------I would pick a keg that has as few dings and dents as possible. My keg wanted to warp a little and I ended up hammering out some of the dents from the inside after cutting it in half and it straitened out some. I just found a second keg to make a BBQ for my daughter. I'll post some photos when complete.

Check out Big Drum Smoker.com . There is no cutting and the performance is supposed to be very good.

US Army May Do Away With Sit-Up Requirement

The army is testing a new fitness regiment that includes running an obstacle course with 40 to 70 pounds of combat gear on and dragging a sled weighing 180 pounds, but none of the iconic stomach-strengthening exercise.

Recipe by Pillsbury Crescent Dinner Rolls
"Breakfast ready in 30 minutes! Enjoy these delicious crescent shape sandwiches filled with bacon, egg and cheese made using Pillsbury® dinner rolls."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (8 ounce) can
Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
8 slices
bacon, crisply cooked, crumbled
egg, scrambled
1/2 cup
finely shredded Cheddar cheese
egg, beaten
1 tablespoon
cracked black pepper
Egg sandwiches are a staple in this house - in many shapes and forms. And this turned out to be a nice little breakfast sandwich - much better than going to a drive-thu! I made this for my husband as he's an absolute bacon fiend. I microwaved each egg in a pudding cup sprayed with Pam for about 35 seconds - top with your favorite cheese, crumbled bacon and you're all set. This was so easy to make and and done in no time at all! Perfect with a nice glass of OJ!
I don't normally cook with refrigerator packaged baking products but I got the crescent rolls on sale and this was quick and easy. Using pre-cooked bacon heated until crispy in the microwave made this recipe a whip to put together. I love bacon, egg and cheese so I had to try this one. I would suggest to slightly under cook the eggs since they will also be baked but fully cooked eggs did work out fine. This would be a good one to try if you are looking for a quick and easy breakfast or brunch option. Not gourmet by any means but tasty nonetheless.

I thought these were okay. I found them to be kind of dry. I think it is because the eggs are double cooked. Although, I don't see any way of getting around that. I followed the recipe exactly, but used pre-cooked bacon I heated in the microwave. I even added a little of regular black pepper on top, which was optional. If that is planned, I would save a little of egg before whisking them. It takes only a very small amount to brush on top. I don't say this often, but American cheese may have worked better, in these, and given them some much needed moisture.
The recipe was really totally easy and simple to do. The only thing I can add that helped me with making the recipe successful, was to incorperate the bacon, eggs & cheese together before topping each crescent triangle. My kids and hubby totally loved them. I can see it being something I can make on a lazy Sunday morning. TY
We really liked these! I scrambled the eggs with salt, pepper, and a little half and half until just done and they were wonderful, and the cheese inside made everything yummy and melted. They hold together well in a portable little package, so I could see my daughter grabbing one of these before heading out the door to school if she's in a rush. I had a little trouble making them into a crescent shape, but was able to get them rolled without losing the filling--just stuff the sides back in if needed.
These were a hit! The whole family loved them and they were super easy to make. Will definitely be making them again!
Quick and easy breakfast for those on the go. I didn't fully cook the eggs knowing they would go into the oven. Cut the bacon slices to fit the crescent and did not crumble.
Can be frozen or refrigerated and reheated fir another day. Whole family enjoyed it!

I downloaded the free trial of BBEdit editor and I tried it on a new MacBook Pro with retina display. Surprisingly the text looks pretty bad, like if it is not focused. I doubt this is normal. Is it a problem of the free trial version only, or a problem with the software? Is there any method to make it look like other applications (TeXShop, TextEdit, ...)?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Ask Different is a question and answer site for power users of Apple hardware and software. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Edit: as of version 10.5, BBEdit has retina support.
I believe it's because BBEdit, like some other applications (Chrome, to name one) doesn't use the standard OS X text rendering library, thus it doesn't automatically get the Retina-calibre text, rather the text gets scaled up (like non-retina images), resulting in the blurry look.
Luckily the BBEdit team is working on it, they've released a beta version with retina support.

APEC is the premier event in Applied Power Electronics™; it focuses on the practical and applied aspects of the power electronics business.
X-FAB's new library of analog building blocks helps designers create AC LED and AC/DC converter applications quickly and efficiently. X-FAB believes it is the first foundry to offer such a comprehensive targeted analog library, with 13 new IP blocks including a 5V linear regulator and voltage reference. Schematic, layout and simulation are available for these IP blocks; silicon proof is expected mid-2014. The library is based on X-FAB's cost-optimized XU035 technology – a 0.35 micrometer modular 700V ultra-high-voltage non-epi CMOS process with single 5V gate oxide; it is engineered for applications requiring an integrated power and start-up device solution. The XU035 process offers low specific On-resistance 700V power devices and the lowest mask count in the foundry industry, enabling the most cost-effective solutions for consumer applications. This technology is ideal for energy conservation applications such as AC LED lighting, chargers with no-load power consumption and other power conversion and control applications.

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Woody Sherman The Nikon 1 S1 features uncomplicated controls and on-screen help. Take the next step without having to study up You've enjoyed your little point-and-shoot over the past few years, but as you frame up your adorable niece while she blows bubbles, it occurs to you that you're missing all the best moments and catching all the blinks and burst bubbles. Maybe it's time for something new? Something that will let you live with the moment and not have you head-down looking at the screen all the time as you struggle with the menu? The Nikon 1 S1 is a camera you can be successful with inside of a few minutes of taking it out of the box, and yet it still offers features that spark the admiration of seasoned shutterbugs. Why should you consider moving up to the S1? Because it has so many ways to make sure you bring home the proverbial bacon. The much-lauded hybrid autofocus system is where we start, as it makes sure whatever you're following in your viewfinder will be sharp, vibrant, and clear. From there, you can engage the smart photo selector, which fires off 20 lightning-quick shots with one shutter press, and delivers the best five for your review. Or choose the Slow View mode, which enables you to see what you're looking at in slow-motion on the LCD, and choose what instant you'd like to preserve for posterity. A unique way of seeing things And your choices aren't restricted to photo selection. The S1 shoots clear, colorful HD video as well, at up to 1080/60i. There are two high-speed slow-motion options (at reduced resolutions) that will help you examine the mechanics of your swimming stroke, or turn ordinary things like the wind blowing the fallen leaves into Zen meditation masterpieces. A hybrid photo/video mode called Motion Snapshot matches your best short video clips and photos with built-in music to add resonance to the day's best moments. Add even more creative spark with the camera's built-in creative modes: See the world all in black and white — except for your wife's green scarf, for example. The optional Nikon WU-1b wireless mobile adapter allows you to pair your camera with your compatible smartphone or tablet. Share in minutes Are your parents eager to see new shots of your niece (their granddaughter)? With the optional Nikon WU-1b wireless mobile adapter, you'll be able to pair your camera with your smartphone or tablet and be sending off the best shots before the kids come in from the backyard. Plus, for those never-to-be-captured-again family portraits, you can shout your positioning instructions while looking at the camera's monitor from your position in the second row, on your smartphone's screen — and fire the shutter, too. No more "where were you" questions. It handles the details The Nikon 1 S1 shoots images that will stand up to close examination and make great 8 x 10 prints. Plus, the camera performs well in low light, as it has a nicely extended sensitivity range, with ISOs up to 6400. An on-board flash adds even more flexibility to shooting nighttime events. Sleek and sharp All this power from a camera that fits neatly in your palm or discreetly in a purse. This version of the S1 comes with a slim, lightweight 11-27.5mm standard 2.5X zoom lens. With an equivalent length of 30-74mm, it'll easily handle the aforementioned family portrait and snag you your sister's contagious laugh as she surveys the bubble blowing festivities. While you can always change to other 1 Nikkor lenses for different creative options, this standard zoom will have you covered for almost all of your day-to-day photo opportunities.

Try a mirrorless camera. These digital cameras combine the creative options of a DSLR with portability that's more like that of a point-and-shoot. Their automatic modes will help you take striking pictures from day one without having to be an expert. However, like DSLRs, mirrorless cameras have interchangeable lenses, and advanced control and processing. You can explore these features for even better results as you take time to learn more about the hobby. Cameras in this class have large image sensors for beautifully detailed pictures, but their mirrorless design means the camera bodies and matching lenses can be smaller, lighter, and more portable great for snapping memorable pics when you're on the move.

There is no separate viewfinder on the camera. Image Sensor: The S1 features the newly developed Nikon CX-format super high-speed AF, 13.2mm x 8.8mm CMOS sensor. It has 12-million total pixels and 10.1-million effective pixels. Included Lens: The S1 Zoom Lens kit includes the 1 Nikkor VR 11-27.5mm lens with the following specifications: 1 Nikkor VR 11-27.5mm F3.5-5.6 Lens Type Wide Angle-to-Medium Telephoto (2.5x) Maximum Aperture F3.5-5.6 Minimum Aperture F16 35mm Equivalent 30-74mm Minimum Focal Distance 1.0' Filter Diameter 40.5mm Recording Media: Images can be recorded onto SD (Secure Digital), SDHC, or SDXC Memory cards, including UHS-I Ultra High Speed cards. The camera can support SD cards from up to 2 GB, SDHC cards from 8 GB to 32 GB, and SDXC cards from 48 GB to 64 GB. Cards with Class 6 or higher writing speeds are recommended for movie recording. Eye-Fi cards, which can transfer images and movies via Wi-Fi, are also compatible. Image Quality: The S1 records still images in JPEG format at Fine (1:4), Normal (1:8), or Basic (1:16) compression. In addition, compressed 12-bit raw data from the image sensor can be saved directly to the memory card in NEF (RAW) format. The white balance, contrast, and other settings can be adjusted on a computer after shooting. If desired, the S1 can record two images simultaneously: one NEF (RAW) image and one fine-quality JPEG image. Image Size: There are three image sizes to choose from when taking photos in the Still Image and Smart Photo Selector modes: Large: 3872 x 2592 Medium: 2896 x 1944 Small: 1936 x 1296 Shooting Modes: The Nikon S1 lets you select the Shooting Mode from the following choices: Motion Snapshot: Each time the shutter is released the camera records a still image and about 1.6 seconds of movie footage. When the Motion Snapshot is played back, the movie plays back in slow motion over approximately 4 seconds, followed by the still image. Best Moment Capture: You can choose the moment to release the shutter as the scene plays back in slow motion (Slow View), or let the camera choose the best shot based on composition and motion (Smart Photo Selector). Auto: Let the camera pick the settings for photographs and movies. Creative: Lets you use special effects, match settings to the scene, or control shutter speed and aperture. Advanced Movie: Choose the shutter speed and aperture for HD movies or shoot slow-motion movies. Smart Photo Selector Mode: The Smart Photo Selector mode keeps you from missing the picture-perfect moments. When you have composed the photo and press the shutter-release button halfway to focus, the camera begins taking rapid buffering photographs (at 30 fps). After the shutter-release button is pressed fully, the camera will compare shots recorded to the buffer both before and after the button was pressed. The best shot based on composition and motion, and four best shot candidates are copied to the memory card. Motion Snapshot Mode: The Motion Snapshot mode can turn a simple still image into a creative new way to capture and share your memories. In Motion Snapshot mode, the camera records a high-resolution still image (3840 x 2160), plus a one-second movie vignette. When played back on the camera, the movie will play back in slow motion over approximately 2.5 seconds, followed by the still image. In addition, a short musical background track plays while the Motion Snapshot image is displayed. You can choose your background music from Beauty, Waves, Relaxation, or Tenderness. HD Movies: The Nikon S1 can record High Definition movies in MOV format (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video compression with AAC audio) in three settings: 1080/60i: 1920 x 1080, 24 Mbps 1080/30p: 1920 x 1080, 24 Mbps 720/60p: 1280 x 720, 16 Mbps Still Images in Movie Mode: You can take still images while you are recording HD movies. The images are in 16:9 aspect ratio with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 (with movie size 1080/60i and 1080/30p) or 1280 x 720 (with movie size 720/60p and 720/30p). Slow Motion Movies: You can record motion pictures at a high frame rate, which are played back as slow motion movies at 30p. No audio is recorded, and the aspect ratio is 8:3. There are two slow motion movie options: Option Frame Size Bit Rate Maximum Length (shooting) Maximum Length (playback) 400 fps 640 x 240 2 Mbps 2.5 seconds 33 sec 1200 fps 320 x 120 1 Mbps 2.5 seconds 1 min 40 sec Release Modes: You can choose one of the following release modes: Single: The camera records one picture each time the shutter release button is pressed. Continuous: The camera continuously records full resolution photos while the shutter release button is held down. You can select a frame rate of 5, 15, 30, or 60 fps. At 5 and 15 fps, the focus is set automatically with each shot. At 30 and 60 fps, the focus is locked on the first frame. The maximum number of shots that can be taken in a single burst is 15 at frame rates of 30 or 60 fps. Self-timer: You can use the self timer to reduce camera shake or for self portraits. The self timer will release the shutter 2, 5, or 10 seconds after the shutter-release button is pressed fully. ISO Settings: Sensitivity is the measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher the sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure. The camera features the following ISO settings: A6400 Auto (100-6400) The camera adjusts ISO sensitivity in response to lighting conditions in the range given in brackets. Larger ranges give you increase sensitivity when lighting is poor; smaller ranges give you reduced noise. A3200 Auto (100-3200) A800 Auto (100-800) 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400 ISO sensitivity is fixed at the selected value. White Balance: You can set the White Balance to Auto, Incandescent, Fluorescent, Direct Sunlight, Flash, Cloudy, or Shade. You can also choose Preset Manual and set the white balance for the lighting conditions. When taking pictures underwater using an optional waterproof case (WP-N2), you can select the Underwater white balance setting. Picture Control: You can choose how the camera processes photos through Picture Control. Preset Picture Controls include Standard, Neutral, Vivid, Monochrome, Portrait, and Landscape. The preset picture controls can be modified to suit the scene or your creative intent. Some Picture Control Settings include Quick Adjust, Sharpening, Contrast, Brightness, Saturation, Hue, Filter Effects, and Toning. Edited Picture Controls can be saved as Custom Picture Controls. Flash Modes: The S1 has a built-in pop-up flash with a range of 2 to 23 feet (Wide angle) and 2 feet to 13.8 feet (Telephoto). You can choose from the following flash modes: Auto Flash, Auto + Red-eye Reduction, Fill Flash, Fill Flash + Slow Sync, Red-eye Reduction, Red-eye Reduction + Slow Sync, Rear-curtain Sync, Rear Curtain + Slow Sync, and Off. Optional Wireless Mobile Adapter: With the optional WU-1b Wireless Mobile Adapter you can copy images to your smartphone or tablet via Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b/g/n). In addition, you can control the camera from your mobile device. The smart device is required to run the Nikon Wireless Mobile Utility app, available from the Apple App Store or Google Play. The WU-1b is compatible with Android 2.3 or later smartphones, Android 3.0 or later tablets, and iPhone and iPad running iOS 6.0 or later. Play, Edit and Print Functions Playback Modes: During playback, you can view images one-at-a-time, or multiple thumbnail images of 4, 9, or 72. While these "contact sheets" are displayed, you can use the multi-selector to highlight individual pictures. You can also view pictures taken on a selected date in a calendar format. Playback Zoom: During playback, you can enlarge a still image to get a closer look at the detail. Once the image is zoomed, you can use the multi-selector to scroll around to non-visible portions of the image. You can record a new picture of the cropped image by pressing the shutter button. Playback Menu: The Playback menu lets you display or edit your photos and movies. You can choose from the following options: Delete: Delete multiple images at once Slide Show: View a slide show of images on the memory card with numerous options for image type, date, scene, rating, face priority, frame interval, movie playback time, and audio.

Team owner Peter Sauber insists Esteban Gutierrez has the full backing of the squad despite his difficult start to the season...
Team owner Peter Sauber insists Esteban Gutierrez has the full backing of the squad despite his difficult start to the season.
After two seasons as test and reserve driver at Sauber, Gutierrez was given his big chance this year as he was handed a race seat following Sergio Perez and Kamui Kobayashi's departures.
However, it has been a stuttering start to life in Formula One and he failed to register a top 10 finish in the four races to date.
Sauber, though, says there is no reason to have any discussions with Gutierrez over his performances so far.
"Of course we are not happy with his results so far and neither is he," he told Swiss publication Blich. "But after four races there is no need for driver discussions.
"Esteban has the full support of the team and he can turn his talent into results. We have not supported him for several years for nothing."
He added: "The Esteban example also shows how difficult it is today for rookies to enter Formula One. The main problem is they hardly drive a Formula One car before they enter the sport."
Gutierrez's team-mate Nico Hullkenberg is also new at Sauber this season, but he has settled quicker, finishing P8 in Malaysia and 10th in China.
"Hulkenberg had a very good debut," Sauber said. "He brings exactly what we expected from him: he is not only quick but also efficient, and it provides the engineers with valuable information. It's up to the team to give him a car that he can advance to the regular top 10 finishes and compete for top positions."

You love having your mother live with your family—but as she gets frailer and more forgetful, and as your family gets busier,you're starting to worry about her being home alone during the day. You think she could benefit from a structured routine with stimulating activities, nourishing meals, and plenty of engaging companionship—but your mom (or perhaps it's your dad) really doesn't need the full-time skilled care of a nursing home. What's the
You might consider an adult day care center. "Adult day centers meet a multitude of needs," explains Ellen Shultz, BSN, RNC (Registered Nurse Certified), director of Bridgeport Hospital's REACH Day Center for Adults. "They allow older men and women to maintain their independence in the community while providing them with support and supervision. A good adult day care center will work very closely with all of your parent's caregivers to ensure ongoing, quality care."
How do you evaluate an adult day center? Here is a checklist of information to ask for to be sure your loved one will receive loving, professional care that can actually be helpful—not just a babysitting service.
Using this information, you can evaluate area centers to choose the ones you're most comfortable with. Before making your final choice, visit the centers you're interested in to watch their programs in operation.
Bridgeport Hospital's REACH Day Center for Adults is an adult day program with a geriatrician on staff. The program provides a warm and caring environment, structured activities, and healthy meals, in an atmosphere designed to enhance participants' well-being and help them feel good about themselves again. "Our goals are to help functionally limited older adults, including those with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, to retain or regain their ability to manage as independently as possible," says geriatrician Beata Skudlarska, MD.
"A skilled assessment by a geriatrician is important," adds Dr. Skudlarska, "because in the elderly, symptoms may be caused by not just one, but a variety of interlinked problems. Frequent falls, for example, may be caused by a constellation of problems including arthritis, poor eyesight, nervousness and anxiety, a cluttered environment, and urinary incontinence requiring hasty trips to the bathroom. All of these must be addressed to resolve the situation."
An adult day center program can help you meet the needs of your whole family and keep your older loved ones at home with you as long as possible.
For information on Bridgeport Hospital's REACH Day Center for Adults, or to arrange a visit, call the Center at 203-373-0698.

The stories about wearing contact lenses and welding are just that---STORIES. Most nonprescription safety glasses are the wrap around type that give excellent peripheral vision protection. Could be a problem with prescription glasses and the side shields with them that a lot of people seem to like to remove.
Check these out.

Thanks, Norm and Bob the Welder, for re-inforcing what I have already said: there are way too many folk remedies and just plain bad information out there about flash burn, cures for welding galvanized, etc. Get advice from a professional, or at the very least do a Google search if you have a question.
In the 60's and 70's I was getting so many burnt eyes ( Flashes ) they were getting to know Me by My First Name in the Emerg'. !
There were No Auto- Darkening Welding Shields back then, Small Welding Shop, welding on a jig with another Weldor 3' away !!
It's a wonder I can see at all over fourty years later . But I Welded for another 30yrs. before I even needed Reading glasses!! I've been wearing them for reading & Welding now 12yrs. !

I'm bring this back up for a couple of reasons regarding info about my posting.
(1) I would like to take this time to apologize to "MIKESWELDING" for my rude and harsh comment regarding useing potatoes for flash burn, I understand that yes their are alot of folk-remedies out their that might be nothing more then old tales and don't hold water for anything.
But I have had to use potatoe slices to treat a very bad case of flash burn when I was younger and trying to be the big man at a shop I had worked at as a leadman(young-dumb) any way it resulted in having my eyes taped shut for a short time as it was not funany way I did ask the docter about useing them(spuds) and he said 1st and foremost I have to tell you what will work form a medical profession stand point but if you have or know of other things that will work just as good or better then by all means use it and be careful of side effects. Yes I have heard of useing spud slices from other welders and see nothing wrong in useing them, but remember I am a doctor not a naturalist(one who use's home remedys) but I will keep it in mind the next time someone comes in with this same problem and inform them of a alternitive method of treatment.
(2)This has been on my mind since my 1st post but with me going back to work and the hours I'm working I haven't had to much extra time to repost this info. And yes just so you know I got the name Safety Dave will working for a company as the "safety chairman" so yes it was much later in my welding career and more smarter(I think?)
(3) About me going back to work its for a company here in Michigan thats about 45 min from the house and they make custom built ambulances for alot of metro areas and other fire rescue trucks locally and also for the armed forces over seas, we just lately got a contract from the government to build
a specialty unit called "MATV" mobile allterain technical vehicle(sp?) through 2013 its called MedTec which is owned by Oshkosh Trucks out of Wis so if any of you know about the company Oshkosh then you know its really a "HUGE" with plants all over the world.
So I guess things are looking pretty good with work and some good money coming in after being laid off since the 1 st of Feb 2009, so I'm just thankful
for "WORK" right now. Oh I got this from a temp service because the guy that was doing this job had a stroke and not sure if he will even be able to come back at all according to the other guys he lost like 70-80% of function on one side of his body so keep him in your thoughts and prayers, please!
I never met this guy other then just hearing his name from the rest of the guys (Roland) THANKS FOR NOT KICKING ME OFF THIS SITE
I have not been on here long enough or posted enough for me to start going off on some harsh angry filled spree, I'm asking for your forgiveness(mikeswelding) and from the rest of all the seasoned weldors who I really enjoy reading your replys to other guys post (fusion,cruzer,norm,Bert) just to name a few. well I've been chatting long enough I have chores to do and boys that need some tending to(fighting) maybe a trip to the "WOODSHED" will do them some good(BAD DAD!)

safetydave repost
safetydave, no forgiveness necessary. Your repost is extremely valuable, especially for younger welders or those just entering the field. Us old-timers have all been subjected to the usual initiation rituals as being sent to get a "left-handed crescent wrench" or a "skyhook," along with some medical advice that may not have any validity. It's good for everyone to take a critical look at some of these assumptions.
The value of this forum is that it gives all of us the opportunity to examine and test commonly held notions, whether related to running 3/32 7014 downhill, or cures for flash burn.
Good for you on the new job. You clearly have the skills and ability, or you would not be in that position. And yes, our thoughts are with the poor guy who had a stroke.
Keep on welding!
I used to get flashburn regularly till I started to wear reading glasses, then it stopped, I guess the plastic in the lens blocks some of the UV rays or something.
The potato slices I used at about 5 years old, I watched my father weld a drawbar on a tractor from a distance, I only did that once!!
My mother was a nurse and she said if they worked fine, one thing it did for sure was keep me from rubbing my eyes............
In the early 60's we had eye drops for it, they would stop the pain immediately, worked to well so they took them off the market. I think it was a type of anesthetic.mike sr

"Well the cool breeze came on Tuesday, And the corn's a bumper crop
And the fields are full of dancin' Full of singin' and romancin'
The music never stopped." - Bob Weir
realize this is a bit of a thread necro, but i thought it was a cool topic, so, my 2 cents.....
the definitive list (as far as I can tell) of teams who have made it to 3 Super Bowls in any given ten year span:
Buffalo Bills XXV, XXVI, XXVII, XXVIII
Dallas Cowboys (Twice) V, VI, X, XII, XIII;XXVII, XXVIII, XXX
Denver Broncos (Twice) XXI, XXII, XXIV, XXXII, XXXIII;
Miami Dolphins VI, VII, VIII
Minnesota Vikings IV, VIII, IX, XI,
New England Patriots XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX, XLII, XLVI
Pittsburgh Steelers (Twice) IX, X, XIII, XIV; XL, XLIII, XLV
San Francisco 49ers XVI, XIX, XXIII, XXIV
Washington Redskins XVII, XVIII, XXII, XXVI,
Obviously, not all of these teams are considered dynastys. For me the dynasty's in the NFL have been the following teams:
Pittsburgh Steelers 70's
San Francisco 49ers 80's
Dallas Cowboys 90's
New England Patriots 00's
I wouldn't consider the Bills a dynasty....coming close doesn't make you a dynasty. I doubt any team will ever again go to four straight SB's, but they lost each time they got to the Big Game. I was born in 1966, same year the Superbowl started and to me the dynasties have been -
1960's - Green Bay
1970's - Miami, Pittsburgh
1980's - 49ers
1990's - Cowboys
2000's - New England
Miami has never been a dynasty. Period.
The Hurricanes were the only dynasty the city ever saw.
I don't know I mean is a dynasty a decade?
Why can't there be two (or three) dynasty's in a decade?
Why cant the Steelers encompass 74-80 but the Dolphins encompass 70-74? The Dolphins 3 straight Super Bowl appearances had never been done and their win loss record at that time was unreal. Let alone the talent level of the 72 and 73 teams. Griese, Langer, Csonka, Morris, Kiick, Warfield, Little, Anderson, Scott, Buoniconti, Fernandez - THOSE were great teams, and as great as any other dynastic team.
Granted I'd say yeah absolutely the Steelers WERE the team of the 70's, and infact the Dolphins probably ranked behind the Cowboys in that category also (5 SB appearances).

Great job AJ !
Great job AJ !
Looking good...It'll be easier this way..I love reading everyone's reports and interpretations of camp...
A good idea would be to get all our TC reporters together in here and get them to focus on some specific areas to look at...for in depth analysis!!
Is it 3am yet?
yes definately... seems like everyone is focusing on the same things (ricky, QBs, O-line)...Originally Posted by HysterikiLL
would be nice to organize different guys to focus on different things...
Koa Konstrictor
That is exactly what I was hopeing to do today... IF I could meet up with some people that were going. It is impossible to watch everything, but if I were to watch just the secondary, and someone else just watched the Quarterbacks... and so on... The camp reports would be much more informative and accurate...Originally Posted by arsenal

I for one kinda think its better to just let people keep doing what they're doing. No offense to anyone but the reports already are pretty accurate, in the eyes of who sees, and writes about camp.Originally Posted by Nasty
I just like to go, have a good time, and watch everything.
I screwed up adding my "Another Day 4 Camp Report" to the list. I added it twice (actually three times). Please delete all except for the top one. Thanks.
Another Idea... put your name in the thread name...i find myself opening the threads several times....i probably should just open the threads in the camp reports links but reports show up in the main forum and i dive in
Seriously, did you have to quote that long as post?

Interpretive Handbook
83092 :
Lupus Anticoagulant Profile
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Lupus anticoagulant (LAC) is an antibody to negatively charged phospholipid that interferes with phospholipid-dependent coagulation tests.
LAC is found in, but not limited to, patients with systemic lupus erythematosus; LAC is associated with other autoimmune disorders and collagen vascular disease, and occurs in response to medications or certain infections (eg, respiratory tract infections in children) and in individuals with no obvious underlying disease.
LAC has been associated with arterial and venous thrombosis and fetal loss. Individuals with thrombocytopenia or factor II deficiency associated with LAC may be at risk for bleeding.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Confirming or excluding presence of lupus anticoagulant (LAC) distinguishing LAC from specific coagulation factor inhibitors and nonspecific inhibitors
Investigation of a prolonged activated thromboplastin time, especially when combined with other coagulation studies
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
An interpretive report will be provided when testing is complete.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test is not useful for the detection of antiphospholipid antibodies that do not affect coagulation tests. We recommend separate testing for serum phospholipid (cardiolipin) antibodies.
Patient should not be receiving warfarin or heparin. If the patient is currently on warfarin or heparin, this should be noted, treatment with heparin causes false-positive results of in vitro coagulation testing for lupus anticoagulant. Coumadin treatment may impair ability to detect the more subtle varieties of lupus-like anticoagulants.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
10.3-12.8 seconds
The INR is used only for patients on stable oral anticoagulant therapy. It makes no significant contribution to the diagnosis or treatment of patients whose PT is prolonged for other reasons.
Adults: 26-36 seconds
The normal full-term newborn APTT may be up to 35% longer than in adults and even longer (up to twice the adult upper limit) in healthy premature infants. Typically, the APTT is in the adult reference range by age 3 months in healthy full-term infants and by age 6 months in healthy premature infants (30-60 weeks gestation)*.
26-36 seconds (>3-6 months)
*See Pediatric Hemostasis References in Coagulation Studies in Special Instructions.
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Hi guys, I don't enter the challenge much anymore since I'm focusing on my novels now, but having my challenge stories critiqued every week was a big part of how I got to where I am as a writer. I'd love to be able to give back some of what others gave to me. I have a local "live" critique group and critique buddies for my non-challenge stuff I'm writing, but I'd love to give challenge critiques for those who need it any given week.
So I'm offering myself to be a fill-in critiquer. If you have a week everyone else is busy or just feel like you want another perspective on your work, feel free to send it to me. I do not critique poetry, but any other genre is great. My email is Amy [at] sparrowsflight [dot] net
I will mark grammar stuff as well as flow, continuity, and realistic dialogue, and will help you do more showing and less telling. I try to not only mark wrong (and right ) things, but also try to explain why I am marking it. I've had short stories published many times, I run a collaborative fiction group called Peculiar People, and I've taught a workshop at the FW conference the last couple of years. I also did freelance editing for a while.
