Many people in this area of McKean County are familiar with the Kinzua Valley. This column refers to my Kinzua Valley only, and you will soon learn what I mean by "my." To some folks, the Kinzua Valley is the valley that runs under the Kinzua Bridge and down towards Kushequa. To others it is the valley that runs from Westline down to the Red Bridge area. These are certainly both the Kinzua Valley, but not mine, as I will try to explain.
PUNXSUTAWNEY – It was an extra special winning moment for Quinn Luhr in the PIAA quarterfinal.
After keeping Johnsonburg baseball even with Bishop McCort, Luhr's RBI single in the bottom of the 11th helped the Rams to a 7-6, 11-inning victory over the Crushers Thursday at Rich Kuntz Memorial Field in Punxsutawney.
The Kane All Sports Boosters Club held their 2013 award cCeremony on Wednesday night in the Kane High School Auditorium.
The Kane Lady Wolves' softball team had their season come to a disappointing end earlier this week when they lost a marathon 12-inning contest with the Port Allegany Lady Gators in the first round of the PIAA Class A playoffs.
SHIPPENSBURG – Kane's Morgan Nicholson threw the javelin 132' 10" during Saturday's PIAA AA Championship Meet at Shippensburg University. The throw placed the Lady Wolves' junior fourth in the state and earned her a medal. Nicholson also competed in the shot put, which was held immediately after the javelin on Saturday.
SHIPPENSBURG – Twelve members of the Kane boys' and girls' track teams made the journey to the PIAA Championship Meet to compete with the best athletes in Pennsylvania. Two members of the team, Nick Anderson and Sean Rolick, placed in the top eight in the state to earn medals. The PIAA meet began Friday morning at Shippensburg University on an unseasonably cold, windy day.
Six members of the Kane boys' track and field team and six members of the girls' team head to the PIAA Championship meet today. Competition begins on Friday morning at Shippensburg University with some of the best high school athletes in the country competing for state medals.
Picture this (pardon the pun), you're sitting in the woods, high power rifle or monster shotgun across your lap, waiting to make that trophy kill. You have enough bullets to start another war, a knife in every pocket, a super duty GPS letting you know if you move an inch or so, food in every pocket, night vision goggles, and all you need is the perfect shot, which should be easy, since your scope can see all the way to Alaska.
The Kane Lady Wolves softball team's season came to a heartbreaking end on Monday when the Lady Wolves lost to Port Allegany in 12 innings on a close play at the plate.
The Kane High School boys track and field team came away with the District IX Class AA Championship for the second consecutive year, with some outstanding performances by the Kane boys. Because of their efforts, Kane will be advancing six boys on to the state championship meet to be held this Friday and Saturday at Shippensburg University.Â

Test ID: COKEM
Cocaine and Metabolites Confirmation, Meconium
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Detection of in utero drug exposure up to 5 months before birth
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Cocaine is an alkaloid found in Erythroxylon coca, which grows principally in the northern South American Andes and to a lesser extent in India, Africa, and Java.(1) Cocaine is a powerfully addictive stimulant drug. Cocaine abuse has a long history and is rooted into the drug culture in the United States,(2) and is 1 of the most common illicit drugs of abuse.(3,4) Cocaine is rapidly metabolized primarily to benzoylecgonine, which is further metabolized to m-hydroxybenzoylecgonine (m-HOBE).(1,5) Cocaine is frequently used with other drugs, most commonly ethanol, and the simultaneous use of both drugs can be determined by the presence of the unique metabolite cocaethylene.(4)
Intrauterine drug exposure to cocaine has been associated with placental abruption, premature labor, small for gestational age status, microcephaly, and congenital anomalies (eg, cardiac and genitourinary abnormalities, necrotizing enterocolitis, and central nervous system stroke or hemorrhage).(6)
The disposition of drug in meconium, the first fecal material passed by the neonate, is not well understood. The proposed mechanism is that the fetus excretes drug into bile and amniotic fluid. Drug accumulates in meconium either by direct deposition from bile or through swallowing of amniotic fluid.(7) The first evidence of meconium in the fetal intestine appears at approximately the 10th to 12th week of gestation, and slowly moves into the colon by the 16th week of gestation.(8) Therefore, the presence of drugs in meconium has been proposed to be indicative of in utero drug exposure during the final 4 to 5 months of pregnancy, a longer historical measure than is possible by urinalysis.(7)
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.
Positives are reported with a quantitative LC-MS/MS result.
Cutoff concentrations
Cocaine by LC-MS/MS: >50 ng/g
Benzoylecgonine by LC-MS/MS: >50 ng/g
Cocaethylene by LC-MS/MS: >50 ng/g
m-Hydroxybenzoylecgonine by LC-MS/MS: >50 ng/g
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
The presence of any of the following: cocaine, benzoylecgonine, cocaethylene, or m-hydroxybenzoylecgonine, at > or =50 ng/g is indicative of in utero drug exposure up to 5 months before birth.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Since the evidence of illicit drug use during pregnancy can be cause for separating the baby from the mother, a kit is available that includes all the materials necessary to complete the chain-of-custody to ensure that the test results are appropriate for legal proceedings.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Are there any development tools like NetBeans or Eclipse on OS X that I can use to write an application?
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.
Xcode was good for your job. If you want use NetBeans and Eclipse on your Mac, you can download them, too, because they have OS X distributions.
If you are looking for Java development on the Mac, both NetBeans and Eclipse have a distribution for Mac OS X. Xcode also has support for Java, but it is not a Java-centric tool.
There are built-in vim and emacs. Both of them can be used as IDE.
Built-in vim and emacs don't have GUI (only console versions) but at least they are relatively new in latest OSX versions.
If you want GUI versions there are MacVim and a couple of GUI emacses for OSX.

Tools to Improve Your Learning :
Online learning in Denver has made the leap to the mobile phone world. As more schools embrace the power and potential of the smart phone, students will start to see some amazing and cost-effective ways to get the best education possible. The smart phone is mining down the number of gadgets that people need to learn on the go. Here are a few tools to improve your learning with just one mobile device.
It's About the Apps
The app craze has gone beyond games, music, and weather. Today, you can ditch the E-reader and download apps for Amazon and Barnes & Noble right to your cell phone. The powerful Android platform makes accessing these great online resources simple and powerfully fast. Android Zio is a great example of a smart phone that can serve as a mobile learning device.
Along with e-reader capabilities, the app developer community is also offering learning tools such as games, mobile quizzes and even mobile bulletin boards that keep teacher and students connected. With apps like Exchange by Touchdown, you can even sync your Outlook to your phone to guarantee you don't miss an assignment.
Learning Should Be Fun
One of the most fun and popular apps available for mobile phones is Google Sky Map. By pointing your phone to the night sky, the app will highlight the brightest stars and constellations. Stargazing has never been so fun and informative.
If you're into instant video, the Android phones allow you to stream live videos via Ustream. As a student, this is a super fun way to make a presentation. As a teacher, it's a convenient and interesting way to conduct class.
We know that some people are resistant to moving learning away from the classroom, but hey at least you won't have to worry about a squirrel sneaking in and disrupting the whole class. This was a real concern when teaching in Denver… We had this Denver squirrel removal company on speed dial.
Technology is going to move the classroom into the world, so even the most resistant student will enjoy learning.

24 hour/3-day work week with $30.00 minimum wage starting in 2013. Solve multiple social and individual problems with this.
Current worker productivity justifies the 3-day/24-hour work week.
Fairness, increased productivity, happiness, health, family values and many more positive human and societal values will be achieved if this is implemented in 2013.
pat gilbert
Feb 10 2013: Yes and we can all move to Big Rock Candy Mountain.
- +3
And then you can watch all of the jobs be exported to places where people will work 70 hours a week.
The fallacy is that a worker is paid for being there a certain amount of time, he is paid for what he produces.
Feb 10 2013: The current work/money situation needs to change to reflect the actual contributions of the workers to the actual value of their production. I wonder if you, pat, have any positive suggestions to make in regard to creating justice in the money/work world.
Feb 10 2013: You mean other than moving to BRCM?
What you are talking about is a fallacy. In large part the current dearth of jobs is due to this sort of situation. People from south of the border are willing to work for less so many in the trades have become irrelevant, manufacturing has gone where people are willing to work for less. Your idea would just bring more of the same. Minimum wage laws are largely responsible for places like Detroit.
Although somewhat counter intuitive the solution is less regulation which allows the true value of the production to be determined. This is defined as what someone is willing to pay.
This is why GM would be gone if not for government subsidy.
You don't get this and never will which is fine but there may be reader who can hear me.
Feb 11 2013: Are you referring to the "less regulation" Reagan caused and the ultimate impact on safety in the skies, the financial debacle, the housing crisis and all the other negative consequences that have flowed from "less regulation?" Why are WE THE TAXPAYERS still subsidizing EXXON and other profit-making companies? GM failed due to POOR MANAGEMENT decision-making, yet LABOR was blamed. Labor was required to take a substantial pay cut to keep the company rolling after their blatant failure to compete. How did the salaries and bonuses of management get affected? It's time....way past time....for JUSTICE to be increased within the work/money world. Kindly come up with an idea that will cause participants in the free market to receive compensation in accordance with the true value of their production.Feb 11 2013: There is no safety problem in the skies. Since deregulation it is unbelievably cheap to fly.
The reason BP had a problem in the first place is regulation caused them drill in water that was 5000 ft deep, a technological achievement.
GM is saddled with benefits to employees that are not achievable because the workers are living longer and because of the healthcare bubble caused by government spending through medicare.
The idea is the same the free market determines the value of production.
Again you don't get this and never will but anyone reading this who has bought into the progressive meme should consider what I point to.Feb 22 2013: Rhona, I agree with the sentiment on which your idea is based. The evidence is very clear that the massive productivity gains over the last forty years have not gone to increased wages or to a commensurate reduction in the amount of work per week to maintain a particular income. If we accept the premise that workers should see benefits from increased productivity (and it appears several commentators do not accept what seems like a simple moral and ethical proposition of fairness), why do you propose these particular numbers? I followed your link, and then subsequent links, but I was not able to find anything more than hand-waving. Again, I support the principle you espouse, and a $30 per hour minimum wage with a standard 24-hour work week may be possible, but I would like to see the models and data that show this is possible.
In 1972, when I was in grade school, I read a short news item in a newsletter that grade-schoolers used to receive in school, in which it was suggested that the government was considering reducing the standard work week by one day. I remember this item, because, at the time, I could not understand how the length of a week-end could be arbitrary. Wasn't a week-end of Saturday and Sunday some kind of universal constant of time? But back to the point, the average family in 1972 had a single wage/salary earner. Forty-one years later, and the individual worker is not making much more, if any, in inflation-adjusted dollars, but the average productivity of that worker has increased tremendously. Further, most families now require two wage/salary earners to maintain the standard of living of that single (middle-class) worker in 1972. The question is, was this outcome inevitable or could we have instead built a system in which the least paid worker today earned at least $30 and hour and the standard work week for everyone was only 24 hours a week? If the latter, how do we redress this obvious economic injustice?
Feb 22 2013: Maybe we could get some of the billionaires with consciences to underwrite the movement. It is obvious that labor leaders do not have the courage to call for this, even though it is obviously equitable and, I think, will increase the wealth of the nation in many ways. Some of the 1% are looking for good ways and places to put their excess cash. Let's politely request that they get behind this movement. I appreciate your input to this conversation.
Feb 23 2013: Rhona,
My comments only apply to the US. Another country may have other problems.
I think that some of what you ask for is happening. The Bill Gates foundation and a thousand more foundations, charities sponsored by the wealthy to provide services for a number of noble causes.
But, you speak of minimum wage, you speak of a complex financial and business model that has ramifications I can only imagine and for those who have made it are aware of what I am to say.
Discounting the cost of shorter work weeks, and there will be some, let's just look at minimum wages. Cost of labor is in the cost of services and product and is paid by the consumer. This is as true as the law of gravity.
First we look at wages. the amount that a worker receives is not the total cost of wages to the business, there are additional costs for insurances, taxes, personnel support, etc. all of which is added to the sales price of the product. When you buy a car, the cost of labor is averaging around $25 p/h so the jump is about 20% and the labor cost of a car is ca. 60% you can see the rise in cost. But cars are a big purchase and not done that often so the cost is difficult but doable.
But, what about that big Mac burger? Labor goes up 4.3 times. We are now looking at $20 for a fast lunch; forget about that pizza and movie night. Now earning $30 p/h can cover those costs, it may be more difficult like the higher priced car. OK!
Wait a minute, 30 p/h is $60K a year., Here come income taxes, federal, state and local could add up to 20%... now that 60K is down to 48K, but the cost of that burger, car or pizza didn't go down by 20%...welcome to the new middle class!
Kris Rosvold
Feb 13 2013: Nice setup from a corporate apologist. The fact of the matter is that while employee productivity is up some 40% and corporate profits are up over 150% (and corporate taxes are down some 25%) in the last 40 years...real wages FELL 15%. In other words the people who are making all that $$$$ for the corporations are getting screwed out of the increases in pay the corporations implied (40 years ago) would be coming with the productivity increases that the corporations wanted.
- +2
We are Not "broke" we are being ROBBED, with the collusion of Congress!Feb 10 2013: How about instead we go back to the era when every Tom, Dick and Jane didn't think that society should interfere in private contracts between individuals? If indeed current worker productivity justified a 24 hour work week at $30 an hour then that is what we'd have. Speaking for myself, I'd rather have the ability to negotiate my employment contract without your help.
Feb 10 2013: How about we go back to the era where a majority of the corporations in the country had SOME sense of noblesse oblige'? Also lets go back to when a $1 would buy a dozen eggs or a 1.25 gal of gas. Or we could go back to the 1940s when there was SOME sort of political outrage when corporations wrecked the economy. Good luck with that too. As to Unions, we need them. without unions, and with the illegal immigration that has been permitted by our government, we would be at (or below) slave wages for every job...With the Food service Union busted in the 1970s (with the collusion of congress) we ARE at slave wages for food service workers.. I've APPLIED for high end tech jobs. The employer would rather hire someone at 1/2 pay, and full time, Buy their visa (by claiming "there are no suitable candidates" which translates to "the locals won't or can't work for slave wages and still pay their bills") and then dump them here when the contract is over, than hire someone with direct experience and pay for that knowledge. If these mega-corporations had their way they would be paying below $20k a year for service engineers.
Feb 10 2013: I have a high end tech job and if I'm ever out of work it only takes me one month at the most to find the same work. Of course, that only happened once in 30 years so I don't really have a large sample to draw data from.
Don't blame the corporations for doing what is in their own best interest. You can't expect them to do otherwise. They don't have to do business in this country at all if they don't want to. Making them pay more than they want to pay will not change that for the better. Don't tell me any of that stuff about us being the biggest economy in the world and they can't make money anywhere else. The truth is that 80% of the world's economy is outside the US and we are making our share smaller every day by making it harder and harder to do business here. The natural tendency of anyone when forced to do something that they think is not in their best interests is to go somewhere where they are not.
You are implying that the corporation is greedy for not giving you what you want. Isn't it just as greedy to ask for something from them that they aren't willing to give? If you aren't willing to work for what they are willing to pay then they will find someone who is. And don't tell me that they are rich and you are poor. Greed is greed no matter your bank balance.Feb 10 2013: To think through the implicatons a little, maybe it would be instructive to visualize a restaurant, a place that cannot just move its business overseas.
The restaurant now has ten employees on a shift working at $10 per hour, or whatever the going rate now is.
Now the rule goes into effect that the rate of pay must climb to $30 per hour and hours decline to 24 for those who work more than that.
What do you see happening? Does the price of food at the restaurant go up dramatically to cover the jump in labor cost, but the employees now paid more can afford to buy the food at the higher prices? Or does the restaurant switch to buffet lines to reduce the number of wait staff to zero?
How about brick and mortar retail stores in competition with online stores? What choices would they make?
I have not worked through the scenarios, but I am interested, Rhona, in how you see these cases playing out.
Feb 10 2013: Fritzie, I appreciate your working on the details. I see this as an entire societal change. I'm looking at it from a macro point of view. For starters, I think it is important to acknowledge the limitations and injustices of the current system, e.g., multi-million dollar bonuses for people at the top of industry who have done actual damage to the economy such as the heads of General Motors who declined to respond to consumer demand for efficient, reliable autos, thereby destroying GM, while individually prospering as well as those in financial markets that knowingly offered mortgages to those who could not afford to pay those mortgages, etc.
Happier, healthier workers are more productive workers. One micro effect is similar to the Henry Ford model on his original assembly line: The higher pay coupled with humane hours will attract the best workers and they will be more productive due to their better health, morale and skills.
Feb 10 2013: I know how you are looking at it. The disparities in take home pay are, indeed glaring, and I hear no one ever deny it.
But I don't think the auto companies are the ones that have been paying much less than $30 per hour in compensation to most of their employees. I think we would see that very much in the service sector and in retail. This is why I think understanding your proposal requires that you consider the likely response of businesses in those sectors.
Feb 11 2013: Fritzie, I believe auto workers were required to accept a wage cut from $17 an hour to $14 an hour at the time of the TAXPAYER bailout of GM. Shall we maintain the status quo that we all know to be inefficient, non-competitive (internationally), and unfair to the majority of workers? Shall we try something new and revise it as we learn, but head in the direction of improving the functioning of the workmoney system and FAIRNESS in the system? I wonder why some people are so terrified of the unknown. I would think one might guess the "unknown" might be neutral or positive. I guess our entire society could use an injection of positivity.Feb 11 2013: Thanks for clarifying. Here is an article about the two-tier pay scale that shows that while the average production worker for the auto company costs $58 per hour in salary and benefits, new hires are now offered only $15 or $17. http://www.workforce.com/article/20121206/NEWS02/121209973/two-tiered-pay-scale-for-autoworkers-raises-debate# Prior to the two tier pay system, the average cost per hour was $79. [I was thinking the average was more like $25 per hour on average, so I had been quite wrong]
I don't think that wanting to consider who might get hurt from an option being put forward means there is reluctance to change. Only that there is merit in thinking about how things would likely land. It matters to a lot of people what happens to small business, to hiring, to prices people will need to pay for things and so forth. Considering scenarios, if we are willing to do that, helps us decide WHICH change from the status quo to implement.
Feb 11 2013: I agree with you. As you know, change frequently is delayed inappropriately. Sometimes we know what to do and, instead of doing, call for another committee or study or something, as an excuse to delay because the 1% are unfairly benefitting from the status quo and they pay lobbyists and others to make sure the conditions favorable to their continued taxpayer-subsidized advantages continue to keep the system unfair for 99% of the population. Given current technology, it is possible for all to be living well. I want to see that happen within the next 7 years. I think it could be done a lot quicker. "Where there is a will, there is a way."
Zdenek Smith
Feb 10 2013: I agree with this idea however I don't think our society (companies, government) is ready for such a drastic change.

Instead I think we should start adding extra statutory holidays e.g. one each year. Over the years we will eventually reach 4 days a week arrangement. From there we can slowly move to 3 days work week?
It is unfortunate that productivity of workforce in developed nations continues to grow while salaries and work hours stay the same while wealth from this new productivity going to the wealthy. More fair distribution of wealth (through e.g. fair tax system) is something to be desired which will then also allow people to need to work fewer hours.
Feb 10 2013: Zdenek, I think we can change our society to accomodate this sane, sensitble change that will lead to a more productive, wealthier, more just and humane society that includes a much higher level of well-being for all of our members, including those who are terrified of change.

Feb 10 2013: I've worked 3x24 in the Service...it takes two days just to recover after those shifts.

Feb 10 2013: Kris, I am pretty sure Rhona meant three eight hour days for a total of 24 hours rather than three 24 hour workdays.
Feb 10 2013: Thanks, Fritzie. Perhaps I should have said 3-day/24-hour work week. Maybe that would have made the point more clearly. Maybe Kris had some subconsious resistance to my point. Who knows? Happy Today. May justice in the work/money world prevail!
Feb 10 2013: I don't think it was subconscious resistance. I think, rather, that since he has actually worked 3 day/24 hour each day shifts, that was a familiar form of organization to him.
Kris Rosvold
Feb 12 2013: My apologies to both you and Fritzie, I did misunderstand. 3 day 24 hour week or, 4 day 32 hour week? It's great in theory. Stipulate that the Corporations are willing to provide a wage which can be lived upon, comfortably; and some sort of usable retirement and healthcare. Problem is that while per-worker productivity has increased dramatically, wages have dropped dramatically. For example in my case...I was earning $13 per hour in a hardware store in the early '90s. I am now as an equipment service technician able to get between $25 and $35 per hour...Yet my spending power is LESS than when I was making $12 per hour, and I haven't seen a raise in this rate for over 15 years. Due to inflation (intentionally created by the Government to lower the real cost of paying back it's debt) my per dollar purchasing power has decreased by well over 50%. It seems to me that these questions need to be answered before we take on trying to shorten the work week...I guess what I'm saying is that I would be OK with a shorter work-week but am not in a position to have the luxury of taking a reduction in salary for that shorter week.Feb 10 2013: Fritzie, Also that inhumane schedule could have had negative impacts on him.Feb 10 2013: Kris, See Fritzie's reply. Sorry. I thought my point was obvious. I did say 24-hour work week.Feb 12 2013: Kris, your situation is precisely what inspired my idea. The lack of equity in the work-for-money world is apparent. Those who are benefitting from it, e.g., the 1%, Exxon owners, hedge fund managers, decline to acknowledge the crimes against the workers who are producing the bulk of the value in society they currently commit. We must do something about this. Also, labor union leaders do not seem to have the courage to ask for the amounts of money income for their members that would yield simple fairness in dividing the productivity gains their members are creating. Let's get active and demand that our elected officials take action, stop caving to the pressures of the 1%, the lobbyists and the corporate interests who are sucking the American taxpayer dry of sufficient funds to live in dignity, provide higher education for their children, retire and have other basic goods and services.

Feb 13 2013: People ARE getting active (finally). I've watched over 40 years of "Sigh....you just can't fight city Hall." I've also railed against it for 40 years. These "legislators" work for US, at OUR pleasure...If they don't they get fired... at least in theory....problem is they don't care because they have cushy jobs lined up and the best lifetime healthcare in the country. I fear that they are not going to stop pandering for corporate profits short of armed insurrection. If it goes there, and it may well (remember the adage about being careful not to take from the man who has nothing left to loose?) they will bring out the military to put it down, and welcome to 1984....

Wonderful !
This way will:
(1) Meet the requirements of our instincts much better.
(2) Make us healthy and happy.
(3) Buy less harmful INVALID (ineffective, untrue, unreal) happiness.
(4) ....
(For details, see 1st article, points 12, 1-3, 14, at https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=D24D89AE8B1E2E0D&id=D24D89AE8B1E2E0D%21283&sc=documents)Feb 25 2013: Giving this more thought, I am not sure that many solutions to social or individual problems could be achieved. As I previously mentioned, there is an equilibrium in the basic theories of economics, or as we define them.
Individuals have more time not working, If those people have good family lives or other expressions of positive lifestyles, I would be sure that increased time could add value to that person, and the opposite is also true. And then there is the matter of a sudden shift. If this happened in 2013, What about the upset? Men who retire on Friday and by Tuesday morning, their wives are wondering why they don't leave for 8 hours.
So, I am not convinced that the economic values are plausible if for no other reasons then the tax bite and the differing effects on living costs.
As to effects on individual and social values, it may be positive for some and not so much for others.
So, what am I missing?Feb 20 2013: If I understand this premise, we are proposing a new standard work week of 3 X 8 vis the current 5 X 8. and a $30 minimum wage. There are countries that have lower the the standard 40 hour work week and seem to be functional. But, the point of wages is the driving force. Wages are determined by the profit the employee generates. The scheme of business says that you bring time, materials, location and people together and you can create a value that returns the investment of time, etc. So, unless the $30 wage sustains an ROI it is not plausible. The other concept of a 3 day work week sort of looses effectiveness if your business is open for 4 or more days. You will need a 2nd employee to meet you business plan. Any business man will tell you that two employees cost more then twice what one employee cost.
I am sure there may be a business that this model would do well. I don't see it working for...WalMart,.
Feb 20 2013: Thanks, Mike. Please explain the equity of the rise in the money income of the 1% and the diminution of the income of the 99%. Equity is not the only issue. The USA is falling behind in other areas, e.g., education, trade, production. Poor little companies like GM and EXXON seem to be struggling so much they need the impoverished taxpayers to subsidize their golf club memberships and huge bonuses. Let's get sane about production, distribution, education, financing, et cetera. Keeping the current financial and economic models does not seem to be a good idea for this century. Life is dynamic. Our systems need to change to reflect and facilitate those changes that improve life for ALL people.,
Mike Colera
Feb 20 2013: OK!

First, don't be too hard on those that are either very good in business or won a big lottery. Most of them spend their money unlike Jack Benny. In a town not to far from me is a factory that builds those little jets that the 1% like to buy, and the airport staff where they park those jets. Hundreds of people have good jobs. I have cousin that made a good living customizing the interior of those jets. Thank You.
But, you have some very good questions that I have watched evolve over many years. In the 1930s, and early forties, we had a bad economic depression and that was followed by an extensive world war. In this process, American capitalists were stripped of the hubris of the 20s and curbed with financial regulations of the 30s, for the most part they were chastised, except a few, Like GM and Goodyear Tire, who convinced L A city council to tear out a really good public transportation system and buy a $zillion worth of buses. that's another conversation. But, big companies saw that they could influence government to better their bottom line. Now I don't blame business, their jobs is to improve their bottom line. But the big push started about 1960. The Lobby groups got started, Campaign contributions ( legal bribes?) took off, Influence peddling, getting bigger and bigger until we have the current situation where we have big Company CEOs becoming Secretaries of US Departments and vis versa. Case in point, our recent Treasury Secretary was a high ranking office of a large bank that got "Saved" by bailout. The new guy to replace him has the same story. It has gotten so bad, that even companies that want to be up and up have joined in and not surprising there are foreign counties signing up. A huge defense contract was signed with a eastern European company. Don't get me started on the criminality of the "Public Education Businesses" who have lost a couple generation of Americans with bad education programs, while taking huge amounts of tax dollars.Feb 11 2013: and i suppose that would be mandatory, no opt out, am i right?
Feb 11 2013: How would you like to opt out? Would you prefer working a 5 or 6 day work week and 40 or more hours and earning $8.00 an hour rather than $30.00 an hour? What do you think would achieve justice in the workmoney world?
Feb 11 2013: for example because i'm getting turned down for that salary requirement. i can't find a job. i would accept 50 hours per week and $5 an hour, because i can do nothing else but take shopping carts back to their place. that is what my education grants me. since your idea prevents me from doing that, now i have no income, and i can't eat.
Feb 11 2013: You are describing the failure of the current system. That is why I am calling for IMMEDIATE CHANGE. Perhaps, when women and men share power equally in all systems, we will have a safe, sane, just, healthy, happy society. One thing you can do is VOTE FOR WOMEN ONLY until women and men have equal power in public offices. Perhaps you can think of other things you can do to change our system to accomplish our positive goals. Let's not talk about this for years. WE NEED ACTION NOW!Feb 11 2013: no, i am talking about your hypothetical system. in the real world, i have more than enough education to earn $30 per hour. but lets assume i don't. i was a drug addict at age 15, and then i worked on an animal farm, i took out the manure. i get $5, work 50 hours, then watch oprah. my employer said to me that he can do that job with a machine, which he can rent for $15 per day. so i'm fired. what do you have for me?
Feb 11 2013: Training, re-training, entrepreneuring, voting for women in every election until women have 50% of the power in all systems, et cetera. You seem smart enough to figure it out without help from me.Feb 11 2013: so you send me on a training, after which my work will worth more than $35. so far so good. but then, why do we need your minimum wage law? if my work worth $35, i can get it even if the minimum is 10 or there is no minimum at all.
but wait. what if i plan to open a small restaurant. i want to save enough money, so i agree to still work 50 hours a week, for $35 per hour, to earn more. i value the money more than my free time, in which i just watch oprah, or do drugs. why can't i do that?
Feb 11 2013: Kris, It is a free country. If you want to work more than 24 hours per week, you can. Do you think the market today results in fundamental fairness to employees? Do you think a single worker has equal bargaining power with a corporation? Obviously, I am talking about the 24 hour work week being the standard to replace the current 40 hour standard.Feb 11 2013: then i don't understand your system. there would be a 24 hr week, but people could work more or less if they want? what is that limit is for then? i dont agree with the 40 hr either. there should be no preferred work length. there should be no benefits or penalties on any arrangement.
Feb 11 2013: I guess you have no standard work week in the country in which you live. In the USA, 40 hours per week is fairly standard. How many hours per week do you work?Feb 11 2013: why would that be important? aren't we talking about what should be?Feb 11 2013: So Alice's (aka Fritzie's) Restaurant used to have a weekly payroll of $4K/wk for 10 employees working 40 hrs each @ $10/hr, and I paid $5.95 for a burger, coke and fries.Alice has to hire 7 additional employees to fill the 400 hr/wk manhours because of the 24 hr/wk limit. She also must pay each of the 17 employees $30/hr for their 24 hr shift. Her payroll goes up to $12,240/wk, an increase of 306%. Either Alice goes out of business or she raises the price of my lunch to $18.21. In fact EVERYTHING goes up 306%! So personal buying power has remained the same but now I have 4 days a week of leisure which does me no good because I cannot afford to pay $11.32 per gallon for gas for my new $110,160 car. The government collects more taxes to pay interest on the never-ending debt, to fund entitlement programs and government payroll. And the winner is. . . ?
Feb 11 2013: edward, I get the impression you think things are just right the way they are. Are you aware of any injustices in the work-for-money world? The money income of those who buy lunch would increase along with those who serve you lunch. Please let us know what you propose to diminish the present inequities within the moneywork world.
Feb 11 2013: First, read Ed Griffin's book "The Creature From Jekyll Island". Second, tell your congresspersons and senators you will vote them out if they do not show aggressive, persistent action to dissolve the Federal Reserve System and return the US to a currency standard, i.e. gold or silver. No more printing money from nothing! Then we can deal with fair distribution of wealth; cronyism; corruption; restraint of trade; suppression of competition; government interference; establishing and maintaining a Supply and Demand based economy; disciplining ourselves as consumers to stop spending money we don't have; and stop acting like Socialists expecting the government to take care of us. And so on. Thank you!
Feb 11 2013: Thank you, edward, for expressing your true thoughts and feelings. I shall contemplate all of your suggestions. Best wishes.

Step 1: Plastic bin and crossbeam
To *bicycletrailersonline*: I agree that your manufactured ones would probably hold up better than *saul's*, but that kinda defeats the purpose of this site. I would love to be able to afford a manufactured trailer with some type of warranty, but with things as they are these days, I also had to look around and use what I had. If a person was to go out and purchase all the items *saul* used, it probably would be very close in cost to your cargo trailers (I like the Quik-Pak, myself). But, as he mentioned, he had these parts lying around. No disrespect meant! Swear! I just notice that your comment seemed to be more of an ad.
What better place to store extra helpings of this instructable.
Have you considered attaching a trailer break system?
All that extra weight could cause you to jacknife going down a steep grade.
That reminds me of the 06 tour. Yes it does.
Well done.
bamboo trailer - weld-freehttp://carryfreedom.com/bamboo.html
They make bike trailers for a living, but saw a need for a design that could be used by people in the 3rd world with requirements similar to mine and were nice enough to share it. The design is very elegant - simple yet clever as hell, and I've yet to find one that would be as easy or as appropriate to my needs. They thought it through well and there are some clever tricks used in the design, all made out of what you have around.
I had trouble finding bamboo (even contacted Am. Bamboo Soc.) but found some being tossed out from a theater, I pick up my wheels on Monday and will have it together on Tuesday. Out of courtesy I'm linking to their site rather than posting their plans, though they ask nothing and say share, I take it that means individually.
While you do need to email them for the plans you can see the basics from the site. The plans include lots of little details that are helpful.
I have not built this yet, as I said, but the design speaks for itself and what would be cooler than a giant dog on a bamboo trailer? I think it is cool they provide the plans for free. You might also get ideas from the models they sell - some would be moderately easy to reproduce if you are handy with tools and bending and/or welding.

A true classic of magic- and with good reason!
Show your audience a large glass FILLED with milk. Form an ordinary newspaper into a cone while talking about evaporation of liquids by magic. Your audience watches in amazement as you pour nearly the entire glass of milk into the cone. Wait a minute- why doesn't the milk seep right through the paper?? You can even pause to take a taste of the milk to prove that it's real.
If that's not amazing enough, when you crumble up the paper cone into a ball, apparently with the milk inside- the milk has VANISHED and the paper is dry! This gets a strong reaction every time!
Very clever design, easy to handle size. Made of high-impact plastic.
You probably do not want to use regular cow's milk with this routine, as milk can spoil and because of the fat content, can be difficult to rinse out of the Milk Glass. Here are some other options: Option 1: Use soy milk, which does not spoil and can be sipped during the routine to prove that it's real milk. Option 2: Mix up some powdered milk just before showtime. Again, the milk can be sipped, and it is easy to transport because you keep it in powdered form until you use it.Option 3: Use colored liquid made from water mixed with ordinary food coloring.Option 4: NOT RECOMMENDED to use the solution marketed as OOM. This is concentrated machinist's cutting oil which, when mixed with water, turns the water a milky color. It's not suitable to be ingested! It also has a strong smell; your audience will know it's not real milk, and will mistakenly think that the trick works by using some sort of fake milk. Plus the oil will cause your Milk glass to discolor over time. Not good!
Pro Milk Glassprinted instructionsYou supply the milk or other liquid. You supply the paper bag or paper cone. CARE INSTRUCTIONS: Make sure to thoroughly rinse and dry the Milk Glass as soon as possible after each use. DO NOT use a scrubbing pad or any type of abrasive cleanser on the plastic, as it will cause scratches and make the glass look cloudy.
Louis Nikola and Roy Enoc are both credited with introducing the concept of this trick.Interested in magic history? Visit our free online Magic Library, full of biographies of famous magicians plus lots of magic history and trivia!

Glen E. Dunkerson was elected Chairman of the Board of Atlas World Group in March, 2009 and continues in his role as Chief Executive Officer, a position to which he was appointed in 2008. In addition to his leadership role on the Atlas Board of Directors, Dunkerson is responsible for overseeing the activities of Atlas' eight subsidiary companies, including Atlas Van Lines, the company's largest subsidiary, of which he also serves as Chief Executive Officer.
Dunkerson began his career with Atlas in 1978 as a Dispatcher. Since that time he has served as Assistant Vice President of Atlas' Relocation Services Group; Vice President, Claims Administration; and Senior Vice President & General Manager of Operations for Atlas' Specialized Transportation Group (STG). In 2006, he was promoted to President and Chief Operating Officer of Atlas Van Lines and in 2008, to Vice Chairman of Atlas World Group.

BMI saluted the songwriters for having the past year's most-performed songs on Christian radio and television. Scott Krippayne's "What Faith Can Do" (recorded by Christian rockers Kutless) was named song of the year and Univeral Music Publishing Group earned the publisher of the year award.
TobyMac's songwriter of the year achievement marks his second consecutive win in the category. Universal Music Publishing Group enjoyed their fourth consecutive publisher of the year win, with five songs in BMI's "most-played" list.
BMI's Jody Williams, Thomas Cain and Beth Laird served as hosts for the event, which celebrated more than 20 of the organization's most-played Christian songs, including ones penned by locally based writers Ed Cash, BeBe Winans and Kate York and performed by major contemporary Christian acts such as Casting Crowns and Chris Tomlin and the gospel-success likes of Marvin Sapp. BMI also organized a tribute to late Gospel Music Association founder Don Butler, who died in February.

Music Interviews
Regina Spektor Still Doesn't Write Anything Down
Originally published on Thu May 24, 2012 8:37 pm
In 2004, singer-songwriter Regina Spektor was a staple of the so-called anti-folk scene when she sat down for one of her first public-radio interviews with the now-defunct WNYC program The Next Big Thing. In the interview, she joked that she stayed up until 3:30 a.m. writing a song, trying not to wake the neighbors, but never wrote anything down.
She still doesn't.
"I try to be better now, at least about recording little things, because sometimes I still have things just disappear," Spektor says in an interview with All Things Considered host Audie Cornish. "You always think, 'Oh, I'll never forget that. That's so obvious.' And then, of course, you forget it."
For a Regina Spektor fan, the fact that there are "lost" Spektor songs is scary. But there is hope.
"I am so lucky, because almost from the beginning, people would record the shows," Spektor says. "I am just so thankful to them, first of all, for taking the time and putting it up online and sharing it with other listeners, but also mainly [for] myself, because there are so many songs I would not know how to play. It gives me so much relief to know that they're somewhere."
Popping The Immigrant 'Pop' Bubble
The songs on What We Saw From the Cheap Seats don't come just from the past year but from a span of years.
"There are songs on this record that must be 10 years old or more," Spektor says. One is "Don't Leave Me (Ne Me Quitte Pas)."
"I met this really awesome guy who became a really good friend of mine," Spektor says. "He would introduce me to music and he played me — for the first time I heard Kate Bush or Peter Gabriel or a full Elton John record was all through him. You know what it is with me? I'm so backwards that a lot of the time I'll know someone's music, but I won't connect the name of the person to the music. I sort of felt kind of in that immigrant bubble, where it was hard for me to connect the dots."
Spektor's family moved to the Bronx from Russia when she was 9, which would have been the late 1980s.
"I feel like such a music late bloomer," Spektor says. "The thing is, I listened to tons of music; it just wasn't pop music. I listened to tons of classical music. I feel so lucky to have learned classical piano and to have my amazing teacher in Russia, and have my amazing teacher in America."
'A Little Kid Learning How To Play The Piano'
Perhaps one song that reflects Spektor's classical background is "Firewood." To Cornish, it sounds like a "classical breakdown," for lack of a better phrase.
"I picture it as a little kid learning how to play piano," Spektor says. "It's cool that to you it seemed classical and to me it seemed totally amateurish. But that's the awesomeness of — I don't know, just letting things out of your hands and into other people's worlds and having it completed by them."
Spektor's attitude toward fans' uploading recordings seems at odds with a significant portion of the music industry.
"I grew up poor, and there are a lot of people that grew up a lot poorer than I am," Spektor says. "Though, to me, I think that if somebody doesn't have an easy life, they should at least have access to free books and film and music. I think that I feel very lucky to live in this time where people can go online and get everything I've ever made, whether they have a lot of money or not.
"So much of the music that I found out about — whether it was late, it's better than never — was through people burning CDs for me and people making cassette mixes for me and people giving it to me for free. I feel really grateful that people can just type in my name and listen to things that I made. I feel so lucky for that."
This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Robert Siegel.
And I'm Audie Cornish.
REGINA SPEKTOR: (Singing) You're like a party somebody threw me. You taste like birthday. You look like New Year's.
CORNISH: And this song, "The Party," is from the new album by Regina Spektor. It's the latest in a line of critically-acclaimed and successful pop records with her trademark vocal curly-cues and contagious piano melodies.
SPEKTOR: (Singing) And we're coming out right along to sing my new song.
CORNISH: Spektor came to NPR to talk about her latest release, "What We Saw From the Cheap Seats," but I couldn't resist asking her about one of the first public radio interviews she did back in 2005.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Regina Spektor is our musical guest.
CORNISH: It was for the program, The Next Big Thing, at WNYC and we took a listen together.
SPEKTOR: I just wrote a song last night and I don't know if I remember it, but I really want to remember it.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: OK. Me, too.
SPEKTOR: So I'll try.
SPEKTOR: Wow, that's so slow.
SPEKTOR: (Singing) I never loved nobody fully. Always one foot on the ground.
CORNISH: What's it like hearing that now?
SPEKTOR: It's weird. It's such a mindtrip. First of all, I completely forgot, completely forgot that that actually happened like that. Wow.
CORNISH: And, at the time in the interview, you talked about writing that song the night before and staying up until 3:30 in the morning and hoping you weren't bothering the neighbors.
SPEKTOR: (Unintelligible) hear it in my voice. Yeah.
CORNISH: But you also said that you never write songs down. And is that still true?
SPEKTOR: Yeah, unfortunately. I try to be better now, at least about recording little things because sometimes I still have, like, things just disappear. You know, you always think, oh, I'll never forget that. That's so obvious. And then, of course, you forget it completely.
CORNISH: That sounds scary to me, as a fan, when you say disappear. I feel like there are lost Regina Spektor songs somewhere.
SPEKTOR: There's so many. There's tremendous amounts. I mean, I actually - I am so lucky because, almost from the beginning, people would record the shows and I just - I am so thankful to them, first of all, for taking the time and putting it up online and sharing it with other listeners. But also mainly with myself because there are so many songs that I would not know how to play and it gives me such relief to know that they're somewhere.
CORNISH: On this album, "What We Saw From the Cheap Seats," it sounds like you have songs that span a couple of years, like just because we're listening to the Regina Spektor album now, it doesn't mean that these are songs that have come from the last year of your life or the last...
SPEKTOR: Yeah. Oh, yeah. No. It's more than a couple of years. I mean, there are songs on this record that must be 10 years old or more.
CORNISH: Like what?
SPEKTOR: Probably "Ne Me Quitte Pas," which on the record, is called "Don't Leave Me."
SPEKTOR: (Singing) (unintelligible).
This song is one of the songs that I released on my record called "Songs." It was self-released record and I didn't really know anybody in the music industry at that point, really. I was out of college and I was playing a lot in bars and cafes.
SPEKTOR: (Singing) (Unintelligible).
I met this really awesome guy who became a really good friend of mine, Joe Mendleson. He would introduce me to music. He played me - like, for the first time I ever heard Kate Bush or Peter Gabriel or a full Elton John record was all through him and...
CORNISH: I like that you said a full Elton John record.
SPEKTOR: Well, because you know - it is true. Well, because you know what it is with me? I'm so backwards in the fact that, like, a lot of the time, I'll know somebody's music, but I won't connect the name of the person to the music, you know, because I sort of felt kind of in that immigrant bubble where it was hard for me to kind of connect the dots.
CORNISH: And we should say that your family emigrated from Russia when you were what. nine years old?
SPEKTOR: Yeah, yeah. Nine and a half.
CORNISH: So this was, I believe, maybe the late '80s, so it might make sense that some of those names - you're still connecting the dots on some of those pop culture names.
SPEKTOR: Yeah. I know. I feel like such a music late bloomer, but the thing is, you know, I listen to tons of music. It's just that it wasn't so much pop music. It was more like I listened to tons of classical music. I feel so lucky to have learned, you know, classical piano and have my amazing teacher in Russia and have my amazing teacher in America.
CORNISH: One song that showcases, I think, a lot of your influences would be "Firewood."
SPEKTOR: (Singing) The piano is not firewood yet.
CORNISH: Towards the end of this song, there is a kind of orchestral breakdown. I don't know a better way to describe it. That makes me think, oh, yeah, classical music training.
SPEKTOR: I picture it as like a little kid learning how to play in my mind. So it's cool that, to you it seems like classical and, to me, it seems like totally amateurish, but that's the awesomeness of having - I don't know - just letting things out of your hands and into other people's worlds and having it be completed by them.
CORNISH: When you mentioned being happy that people upload videos of your song, it's almost the opposite of what most artists are saying now about their work.
SPEKTOR: Yeah. I mean, I can't really relate. You know, I grew up poor and, you know - and there are a lot of people that grew up a lot poorer than I am, so, to me, I just - I think that if somebody doesn't have an easy life, they should at least have access to free books and films and music. And I think that I feel very lucky to live in this time where people can go online and get everything I've ever made, whether they have a lot of money or not.
CORNISH: Well, Regina Spektor, thank you for talking with us about this album.
SPEKTOR: Thank you so much, Audie. Thanks for having me.
SPEKTOR: (Singing) Thought you ought to know by now - I thought you ought to know by now, everybody not so nice, nice. Everybody not so nice, nice. Baby, baby, baby...
CORNISH: Regina Spektor talking about her new album, "What We Saw From the Cheap Seats." And NPR Music will live stream a Regina Spektor show for free on May 31st. You can check it out at NPR.org.
SPEKTOR: (Singing) That there's a small town in my mind. How can I leave without hurting everyone that made me? Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

Watch video tips and tricks
2 cups
sweetened, flaked coconut
1/2 cup
white sugar
3/8 cup
all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
egg whites
1 (3.4 ounce) package
instant lemon pudding mix
1 (8 ounce) container
frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 cup
sweetened, flaked coconut
I use the same recipe for the coconut tart, but have used a variety of different fillings. Chocolate "ganache" - 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 TB of milk, melt in microwave (30-60 seconds more or less, stirring frequently) and then stir until smooth. I do this in a Pyrex glass measuring cup and then just pour the chocolate filling into the tart cups. I sprinkle a little coconut on top (which I sometimes color with food coloring- like red, white and blue for 4th of July or red and green for Christmas) OR put a raspberry on top OR a little crushed almonds on top for an Almond Joy flavor. Lemon curd - just dollop lemon curd in the tart shell and top with a raspberry and then sprinkle with powdered sugar. Chocolate Cheesecake - just dollop refrigerated ready-made cheesecake filling into the tart shell and top with chocolate ganache. Raspberry cheesecake - put a small dollop of raspberry jelly in the tart and top with ready-made cheesecake filling and top with a raspberry and /or a little chocolate ganache. Really, the combinations are endless. I personally don't think pudding and cool whip sound very appetizing for these delicious tart shells.
No problems w the curd. Could not get the macaroons to mold into cups.
39 Ratings
This was the hit of the shower I threw this past weekend! I made the macaroons a day in advance, substituted lemon curd for the pudding and piped real whipped cream on top with a snipped sandwich bag. Heavenly!
A nice fresh tasting summertime treat. To get a more intense lemon flavor I added lemon zest (the yellow peel from a fresh lemon)to the pudding mixture and topped the Cool Whip with coconut and lemon zest for added taste and presentation.
This rating is for the shells only. Easy and very good filled with the Lemon Curd by Margaret on this site.
Made these for my brother's wedding reception, and they were great! Very easy yet elegant. Next time I will splurge on time or money and either buy or make my own lemon curd - instant lemon pudding just doesn't have the intense lemon flavor I was hoping for. Or maybe I'll just replace some milk with lemon juice when I make the pudding...either way, will certainly make again. Thanks Andrea!
These look professionally made, and someone said they were the best things he'd ever tasted. Keep an eye on the macaroon shells when baking.
The lemon and coconut go very well together. These are perfect for parties, nice presentation and very tasty.

Gallery: 1840s Victorian Home Receives a Zero-Energy Retrofit
Christophers and his wife searched for two years to find the right house that they could renovate and transform into a home capable of producing as much energy as it consumed. The 1840s Victorian brick house originally only had two bedrooms, but with a clever addition into the parking space beside the home the family was able to double its square footage while adding a sunny studio and meditation room. Strategically placed windows and mirrors draw light into the lower levels of the home.
The entire home was gutted to get rid of wiring, plumbing, inefficient windows, and an old roof. To improve the energy efficiency and thermal properties of the home, Christophers added insulation to the walls, tripled-paned windows, efficient lighting, a wood-burning stove for cold days, and a ventilation system that removes moisture. A solar photovoltaic system provides electricity and a solar hot water system provides domestic hot water. While the home is not off-grid, it does produce enough electricity to power the home, making it zero energy.

This answer to an earlier question of mine about manual focus lenses uses the term "focus throw". Exactly what does that mean? Why do manual focus lenses have more of it than auto focus lenses?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Photography Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for professional, enthusiast and amateur photographers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The focus throw is simply how much you have to turn the focus ring when focusing, what's usually compared is how much you have to turn to get from closest focusing distance to infinity (or vice versa).
A manual lens generally have a longer focus throw, to enable you to do fine focus adjustments, while an auto-focus lens has a shorter focus throw so that it can focus faster.

The Family that Prospects Together, Prospers Together.
Prospecting for treasure is a fourth-generation family passion for James and Vince Gifford, and they're justifiably proud of their "Made In America" Tesoro Metal Detectors. Their father, Jack, founded Tesoro in a Phoenix, AZ, garage in 1980—the result of his affinity for electronics combined with the treasure-hunting legacy handed down to him by his father and grandfather.
At the turn of the 19th century when gold fever was running high, Morgan Gifford, Jack's grandfather, moved his family from their ranch in Idaho to Oregon, where he started a gold mine. Prospecting was a family affair, with Morgan's sons Aubrey and Norval (Jack's father) working in the mine together. During harvest season, though, the family's focus changed; they labored as farm hands and traveled across Idaho, Montana, North and South Dakota. It was during one of these harvest times that Norval met his future wife, Mayme. They soon married, and Norval moved his family to Arizona, where he worked for the Inspiration Mine in Miami, one of Arizona's richest copper-mining areas.
Norval and Mayme had three children: Glenna, Gloria, and Jack (who was born in Miami, AZ). After several years of mining and as his family grew, Norval relocated to Phoenix and took a job with Arizona Public Service (APS). When Jack graduated from high school, he tried several different jobs before becoming an Electronics Engineer. Before long it was clear that Jack's inherited talent for creating electronic instruments had grown – along with his love of the historic City of Prescott – into a true calling. Jack's vision for a company of his own was fulfilled in 1980, when with the help of his wife Myrna, Tesoro Electronics was founded. It took nearly a decade more before their dream of living full-time in Prescott became reality, but in 1991 the Gifford family - and Tesoro - were finally home.
Just as his father and grandfather had done, Jack shared his love of the hunt for treasures with his sons James and Vince. He involved them in every aspect of the family business, and the boys couldn't have hoped for a more dedicated teacher. They learned all about the rich history of mining and prospecting, the wide variety and evolution of tools used over the years, and how radically things had changed since their great-grandfather Morgan Gifford had begun his Oregon gold mine so many years before. Jack taught James and Vince the importance of quality and meticulous attention to detail in Tesoro's manufacture of metal detection instruments, keeping them abreast of all the latest developments in technology. The boys were hooked. In 2004, Jack and Myrna were finally able to retire, knowing that the family business would now be in the capable hands of the sons who so fully embraced their twin passions: treasure hunting and Tesoro.
With Vince at the wheel today, Tesoro – the name that means treasure – remains an industry leader, with an exciting array of quality metal detectors, all backed by lifetime warranties. Jack and Myrna's sons continue to carry the family legacy with pride, sharing the pleasure of modern-day treasure hunting with their growing family of satisfied customers worldwide.
