Lindsey Vonn wins for the 50th time on the World Cup.
It was not easy and it was emotional for Lindsey Vonn as she celebrated her 50th Alpine Skiing World Cup win in the Garmisch Downhill. It has taken Vonn just over seven years to make this milestone of 50 wins and talking after the race, it was still trying to sink in, the enormity of the win. With the cold weather doing its best to grab the headlines, it was not until the last split that Vonn had the fastest time. Until then she had been chasing the time of Nadja Kamer of Switzerland. Kamer would eventually finish second with Tina Weirather in third.
"It is amazing yet I will wait until the last racer is down before I can celebrate, I cannot believe it" explained Vonn in the finish area after her run. Garmisch is one of the toughest courses on the Women's tour and this is before the cold weather played its part. The steep section in the middle knocked a number of racers off the line yet for Vonn she was aerodynamic and aggressive yet she too was not free of mistakes through the bumpy middle section of the course.
Where HEAD World Cup Rebel Vonn leaves the rest of the field standing though is in her self believe and never say quit attitude. Despite being over six tenths down on Kamer at the second split, Vonn clawed her way back, taking risks not many others would dream of. Vonn had people gasping in awe, especially her coach Alex Hoedlmoser, who has been with her for all the 50 wins: "This was my section and it was bumpy and icy. She made a little technical mistake and it almost ended in a crash but she pulled it off like nobody else would and did not really lose much speed there." By the final split, the lead was hers and the speed that her skis were generating saw her cross the line with a comfortable four tenths lead over Kamer in the finish.
The record books are being rewritten now as Vonn also moves into second in the all time list of Downhill wins on 25, chasing Anna Marie Moser Proell on 36. This ninth season win also moves her closer to becoming only the second woman to win ten or more times more than once. Vonn's personal record is 11 in a season in 2009 – 10.
As ever Lindsey Vonn "gave everything for this win!" Maria Hoefl-Riesch, racing her hometown course was fast at the top but lost her way a little lower down on a course many felt was very hard to be fast on. Hoefl-Riesch came in fourth.

To appear in the March 2011 Atlantic Magazine
When President Obama and two-thirds of the world's leaders gather in New York City, it is up to the U.S. Secret Service to keep them all safe. Granted unprecedented access, our author tells the story of how the agency pulls off the most complicated security event of the year, from counter-surveillance to counter-assault, hotel booking to event scheduling.
On a warm September evening in New York City, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad slowly walked down the staircase of his official plane, idling in a remote corner of John F. Kennedy International Airport. Waiting to greet him were a gaggle of invited (and carefully screened) journalists, U.S. consular officials, and the like. But there was at least one face in the small crowd that Ahmadinejad recognized immediately, that of a U.S. Secret Service agent whom I'll call Jack. (For security reasons, the service prefers not to publicize the names of its agents working on protective details.) A lean, compact man in his late 40s, Jack wore what passes for a uniform in the Secret Service: dark suit with a slight, artificial paunch around the middle (the result of gun, radio, handcuffs, and badge), light-blue shirt, and red tie. This was Jack's third stint as a senior agent on the Iran detail, but his first as detail leader. He was the man charged by the U.S. government with ensuring the safety of arguably the nation's most public enemy.
Jack does not consider Ahmadinejad a friend, and he is somewhat uncomfortable being one of the few Americans the Iranian leader has gotten to know firsthand. (Ahmadinejad had grown so fond of Jack's predecessor as detail leader— an agent since promoted to a more senior position—that he'd called him by his first name, asked after his children, and even, upon arriving and departing the country, given him formal kisses on each cheek.) But Jack was nonetheless proud of the job with which he had been entrusted: protecting the life of a man with a bull's-eye on his back, and getting him door-to-door for six days, from limo to hotel to high-level meeting, as safely and expeditiously as possible.
Ahmadinejad was in New York for the 65th United Nations General Assembly—or UNGA, typically pronounced just the way it looks. While the Iranian leader's visit was particularly high-profile and politically fraught, it was by no means unique. In 2010, the annual event required more than 200 Secret Service details for foreign leaders, American officials, and spouses, along with another 60 or so State Department security details for lower-level protectees. (This is in addition to the thousands of New York City police officers called upon to help secure buildings and traffic routes, and lead motorcades.) Over the course of the event, 900 aircraft would fly in and out of JFK bearing dignitaries; hundreds of events across the city would need to be scouted and secured.
Yet, remarkably, the General Assembly has become an almost unremarkable event, at least by Secret Service standards. There have been 38 "National Special Security Events" since President Clinton first coined the term in a classified 1998 national-security directive. Most of these NSSEs have occurred since September 11, 2001, and 14 of them since 2007, including the two presidential conventions, President-elect Obama's pre-inauguration whistle-stop train tour, the inauguration itself, and the 2008 and 2009 G-20 summits. The General Assembly poses greater security and logistical challenges than many, if not most, of these events. This is due in part to its size, and in part to the fact that habit is the worst enemy of protective security, and the assembly offers an extremely attractive, recurring target: many foreign leaders stay in the same hotels and attend the same events at the same times each year. But despite all this, the General Assembly has not been categorized as an NSSE since 2001. The Secret Service has it down to a science.
This is the story of a dog that didn't bark, and of the men and women who kept it muzzled. The Secret Service receives dozens of requests each year from reporters who want a peek inside the agency; most are quickly turned down. Typically, the service provides context for media coverage of its major security events by opening its training facility in Beltsville, Maryland. There, it can put on a show—complete with motorcades and simulated attacks—in a tightly controlled environment. It took me more than 18 months to persuade the service to let me be the first reporter to see the process from the inside in a real-world, real-time situation. I was allowed access to command posts, operation centers, and other secure areas. I agreed only to withhold some details about protective methodology that would imperil the service's ability to do its job.

Jackson County, Ore. -- Wind, hot temperatures, and dry vegetation are all the ingredients to fuel wildfires. But those conditions are something we don't normally see in the month of May here in the Rogue Valley. Fire Chief Darin Welburn of Jackson County Fire District 5 said of a fire that broke out in Ashland Monday "it's awful early for a fire of this size and to burn like they are."
The 13-acre blaze came inches away from a home. But thanks to the quick firefighting effort and the work of the homeowners their home was saved. Chief Welburn said that all homeowners should take this as a warning. "You're running out of time to do those things right now, so if you haven't been out cutting brush, getting that defensible space around your residence it's not too late to complete that."
Fire officials said some Medford residents got quite the scare when a man mowing his lawn hit a rock sparking a small grass fire on Memorial Day.
Mya Sutherland of Medford said "we saw a big puff of smoke and it got really cloudy, my house is right behind that, so it's pretty close." That fire was quickly contained before any major damage was done.
Fire officials said this is just a sneak peek of what's to come this fire season. Chief Welburn said "just a good indication of how dry things are already, the fire carried pretty fast through these fields.
The cause of the Pompadour fire is still under investigation. Chief Welburn said that it is still open fire season, but they will be evaluating the fire season in the next few days and more than likely restrictions will be starting sooner than normal.

One of the best ways to preserve old photos is to copy the negatives with a digital camera and then use image processing software to "develop" the photo.
I built a setup for digitiziation with a DSLR to process my old negatives some of which have a sentimental value.
Since I do not have a macro lens, I combined an SLR lens with a couple of cheap adaptors. The rest was improvised from pieces of wood, cardboard , PVC and even meccano parts.
NOTE: Check out a recent update of this instructable!
Step 1: About film negatives
Image formation
- Film photography is based on the sensitivity of silver halides (AgBr, AgI etc) to light. The upper layer of the film is a coating of gelatin containing crystal grains of silver halides.
- When the film is exposed to light, some Ag+ ions are excited to higher energy states and a few combine with electrons to form Ag which will act as nucleation centres in the development stage. At this point the latent image is formed .
- When the film is developed with chemicals, an oxidation - reduction reaction takes place. The silver ions in the exposed regions are reduced to neutral silver atoms which coagulate to form metal grains. This is a negative image since the film becomes non transparent in the exposed regions.
- Colour photography is based on a variation of this process with the addition of organic coloured dyes coupled to the silver halides. The film coating has three layers for the three basic colours (see photo).
- Black and white negative images consist of silver grains which are stable over time. The supporting gelatin is sensitive to humidity and temperature but if stored properly B/W film can last for hundreds of years.
- On the other hand the colour negatives are more sensitive to environmental factors because of the organic dyes they contain. The cyan dyes fade away faster and the negative becomes reddish. Exposure to light causes the magenta dyes to fade also, due to ultraviolet light.
Regarding the tube it was meant to avoid stray light. I do not use it anymore, i do the procedure in a dark room.
I have been using this setup for sometime now and I extended it to slides and 6x6 medium format negatives. An instructable is under preparation!
After visiting this 'able seven times I just suddenly realized that you are doing negatives.
Now, can you share/suggest any ideas about digitizing 35mm SLIDES? That will be greatly appreciated as I was about to start building your setup.
I will be using my daughter's Nikon D7000 with only Nikkor 18:200 lens. Reading your construct I am thinking of using instead my 40 year SLR Canon 50mm 1:1.4 lens with an extender. Any extra suggestions, please.
You may need to intensify fade out colors.A few suggestions: (a) a real professional work requires the RAW format (b) When correcting the colors with Photoshop use the Levels option and correct the basic colors one by one. (c) Use the Variations option if you cannot decide with the colors (d) I almost always use the Blur option to smooth and connect details (Gaussian blur 1-2 pixels width, no more) and then sharpen the picture. It becomes more clear this way.
However if you just use any lens there will be deformations at the edges of the field. You have a choice between what I describe in this instructable ( a regular lens system + extensions --> a macro lens) and any camera that can be zoomed to the size of the 36mmx24mm negative at a tolerable distance.
Case 2: I have something in mind related to micro-milling . If (and when) I do it I'll probably make an instructable about it. Stay tuned!
there are million of compact 10+ megapixel cameras,
with "close up mode".
it is possible to set enough light,
it does not move,
no complications with DOF
(i mean DSLR is not soo important)
If you are scanning old negatives it is one thing, but if you really want a decent scan you should be shooting raws on a dslr.
But yeah, like tholopotami says, the idea is that you use what you've got!
I also have an Epson V-700, and it does GREAT on [minimum] 6x7 cm negs, and 4"x5" to 8"x10", but I have beed dismally disapointed with 35mm and 6x4.5 negs.
I did, however, find an old film era slide copier that has a t-mount base that will mount onto- and work on- nearly any digital camera, except for the entry level models. They work with negs and mounted slides.
Total cost, about $8.oo [since I already had a t-mount adapter], from the used bin at the local camers store. Most stores don't carry them any longer, but look around. Most camera store employees don't even know what these things are, and they were all over the place just 10~15 years ago!
Using a Nikon D300, I have made exceptional hi-res copies of some WWII negatives I have been looking to print, but couldn't afford to leave with the store- or pay their charges for lower quality scans.
Things are different with colour dyes (see step 14)
Thinking about the DSLR setup here is another advantage: When working with B/W I use a projector and an opaque screen. This produces an homogeneous and parallel light beam which helps increase the contrast of the negative image. This may improve the final result compared to a scanner.
I feel that the move to digital, while good for business and in certain respects the environment and my personal ecomomy (I can now shoot as much as I want last year 5k pix) has been a case of throwing the baby out with the bath water. Negs aren't OS dependent or Harddrive dependent nor do they need power to be viewed. Look to see the prices on medium format cameras on ebay- those guys aren't giving up, neither are the large format shooters..
Thanks for the Resolving Power work with the math - much appreciated. All in all a very interesting Instructable.
Thanks again,
Nice instructable, almost make me want to make my own - but I don't have one of those flashy cameras. Maybe I'll try hooking up a lamp on top of the flat bed scanner instead...

this episode was fun i must say that, bonsly is a cute pokemon if you ask me.
WOW, just saw this episode for the first time.
The ninja boys voice = Gary Oak's voice.
Is it the same voice actor?
Bonsly was cute.....
I think it was the first time that Brock captures a pokemon after a battle with it.
Wobbuffet and his trainer.(credit: Serebii.net)
Kanto seems to be full of these ninja huh? Koga and Aya were the originals.
Anyway, great way to introduce Bonsly to the anime, though I never think of bonsai trees when I hear the word ninja. I loved the Ash and Co. worked hard to learn the ways of the ninja.
Brock deserved Bonsly, his first Baby Pokemon. 8/10
This episode proves that everything's better with ninja. Also, Ichigo/Angela is hot. Besides Bonsly's voice, the only thing that annoyed me was how everyone added "Ninja <type> arts!" to the beginning of all of their attack commands for no reason.
Not a bad episode, those three guys who picked on an obviously baby were idiots, of course he's going to run away when TR showed up, glad Angela set them straight although I would have also called them bullies.
Nice for Brock to catch it, although not a fan of it's constant crying though I know it's a baby though. How come most characters with green hair always have the shadow falling over their face, it makes them good but still.

This has to be the first time, that I remember, that I have seen a capture of another Pokemon fail the first time.
That was pretty cool how Ash/May/Brock sent out Marshtomp/Combusken/Grovyle.
Claimed by me!
Kind of Brock to catch that Bonsly.... It was irritating
This episode was ok... It was cool to see Bonsly for the 1st time. I'm very glad Brock ended up catching the Bonsly. It makes a lot of sense for the gang to have 1. TR has Mime Jr., and now Brock has Bonsly after this episode. Bonsly definitely has an infantile personality, but I'm not surprised to see that. It was cool to see Fake Tears attack for the 1st time, by Bonsly.
Yay, Brock catches a useless Pokemon in Bonsly. Good for his uselessness.
Fighting for real American turtles everywhere. Pro-Turtle since 6/30/13
I really liked this episode. It's great seeing them all doing ninja school.=3
The best part was when team rocket came in though.
Jessie looks like she's flying due to a rope and max is like "maybe she is a Ninja?=O"
I also loved their double team with meowth and james also dressed like Jessie.XD
I love team rocket blasting off.
"we're blasting off again"
"What did you just say?"
"ninja arts blast off technique!"XD
I liked the battle to capture bonsly. It was actually funny.=)
I also like seeing Brock fatherly side start to come through in this episode aswell. It's my favourite aspect of the later brock.^-^
Fun episode. Definately a fav.=3
Put together by me.
This was a pretty good episode, Brock catches a Bonsly. Also May looks pretty cute in her ninja attire XD
Dawn Fanclub ~Credit goes to Cresselia92~ N Fanclub
This episode was good. It was nice to see the main characters in ninja attire, also Angela was hot!
I'm glad Brock got that Bonsly at the end. Brock is a Pokemon breeder, so he's the right person to take care of it.

I'm going to guess they were somewhere near Fuschia City, what with the ninja theme in the episode.

I loved Jessie imagining being a ninja; seeing her with a Starmie shuriken made me laugh and TR's ninja outfits were great overall. I loved all the ninjutsu stuff that Ash and friends practiced here including breathing through bamboo while hidden underwater. I also liked when the COTD girl and Kecleon demonstrated camouflage. Bonsly was a crybaby though.

Data Projects
Oxygen is essential for all plants and animals to survive, whether they live on the land or in the water. Aquatic organisms rely on oxygen that is dissolved in the water. In most lakes and streams, the amount of oxygen in the water is continually being replenished by oxygen from the air. Sometimes, however, conditions exist in which the dissolved oxygen in the water is used up by organisms faster than it can be replaced from the air. If all the oxygen used up, the organisms will suffocate. Such conditions exist in Lake Erie in the summer. This report explains why the Central Basin of Lake Erie is susceptible to low dissolved oxygen concentrations, and it presents current data and historical trends.
Why does Lake Erie have a problem with low levels of oxygen?
In recent decades, the bottom waters in the Central Basin of Lake Erie become anoxic (without oxygen) in the late summer. Aquatic creatures, including fish and bottom-dwelling animals, need oxygen in the water to live or they suffocate. The fish may be able to swim to better waters, but most of the other animals cannot.
Monitoring Program for Dissolved Oxygen in Lake Erie
Ten sampling stations for the dissolved oxygen monitoring program were selected to cover most of the affected area. In most years, each station is visited in early June, late June, mid-July, early August, late August and mid-September. The most severe oxygen depletion is observed in late August and/or mid-September.
How Does the Dissolved Oxygen Problem Develop?
In the summer, the water in the Great Lakes separates into two layers. The top layer is warmer than the bottom one, it receives the sunlight, and it mixes with oxygen from the air. The bottom layer is cooler than the top layer, it is usually dark, and it is cut off from the air so it cannot re-supply its oxygen.
How Much Dissolved Oxygen is Enough?
There is no absolute value for how much oxygen in the water is enough. Depending on the water temperature, oxygen concentrations in equilibrium with the air can range from about 8 mg/liter (summer warm water) to over 14 mg/l (winter cold water). Some organisms are much more sensitive to low oxygen levels than others. Generally, the less oxygen available, the more stressed the organisms will be. Few species tolerate oxygen concentrations less than 1 or 2 mg/liter for very long.

ANDERSON — Ivy Tech Community College is asking the Indiana Department of Revenue to divert tax refunds of students who owe the college money.
Chief Financial Officer Chris Ruhl tells The Herald-Bulletin (http://bit.ly/UD9HCM ) that the college loses out on about $12 million each year because of student-owed debt. That's about 1.5 percent of the college's general fund.
He says collection agencies only recover about $1 million a year.
Most of the money owed is related to federal financial aid owed by students who drop classes but fail to repay the assistance.
The statewide college has implemented a tax intercept program in an effort to improve those collections. Ruhl says Purdue University and other colleges use the program and predicts that it will be a "significant tool" for Ivy Tech.

As human identification through the use of STR genotyping continues to expand and mature, new typing systems are needed to meet the evolving needs of the human identification community. In Europe, the US and China, STR typing is moving to include more loci to aid discrimination. With these changes, larger multiplexes are required to satisfy locus selection within different regions. In addition to a need for greater discrimination, there is a demand for robust systems to handle more difficult samples in forensic casework as well as a need to process database samples with less upfront preparation. Increased robustness means higher success for forensic casework and faster processing time for offender databasing and paternity testing.
The PowerPlex® 21 System (Cat.# DC8902) was released in December of 2011 to expand the options available for multiplex STR analysis. This five-color system (Figure 1) includes all materials needed for co-amplification and detection of 21 loci (20 STR loci and Amelogenin), including D1S1656, D2S1338, D3S1358, D5S818, D6S1043, D7S820, D8S1179, D12S391, D13S317, D16S539, D18S51, D19S433, D21S11, Amelogenin, CSF1PO, FGA, Penta D, Penta E, TH01, TPOX and vWA. One primer for each locus is labeled with fluorescein (blue), JOE (green), TMR-ET (yellow) or CXR-ET (red). Detection is performed with the Applied Biosystems 3100, 3130 or 3500 Genetic Analyzer. Amplified samples can be sized with the supplied CC5 Internal Lane Standard 500 (CC5 ILS 500), detected as a fifth dye. Proper color deconvolution is achieved by matrix standardization or spectral calibration using the PowerPlex® 5-Dye Matrix Standards (Cat.# DG4700). Finally, a new control DNA, 2800M, is provided in the system. This DNA is derived from a single-source, human blood sample.
As databases grow in size, the potential for adventitious matches increases. Some early STR databases built with only ten loci have been recognized as insufficient to avoid these unrelated matches once millions of profiles were included in the databases. Another challenge is data sharing between regions that use different STR multiplex products that do not contain the same loci, leading to differences in database composition.
The PowerPlex® 21 System increases discriminatory power and data-sharing possibilities by incorporating informative loci commonly used in the United States, Europe and Asia (Table 1). The PowerPlex® 21 System includes the 13 CODIS core STR loci, two loci commonly used in Europe (D1S1656 and D12S391), the D6S1043 locus common in China, and several additional markers used throughout the world (Amelogenin, Penta D, Penta E, D2S1338 and D19S433).
Forensic evidentiary samples often contain substances that inhibit PCR. Even following a DNA purification step, these inhibitory components can persist, decreasing the likelihood of STR amplification success. In 2009, Promega introduced the PowerPlex® 16 HS System
, which demonstrated a significant increase in inhibitor tolerance over previous STR multiplexes. The PowerPlex® 21 System improves on the PowerPlex® 16 HS System performance for even greater inhibitor resistance (Figure 2), resulting in more interpretable data and less need for re-amplification of samples previously deemed "difficult" due to the presence of inhibitors.
Human genomic DNA (500pg; n = 3) was amplified with the PowerPlex® 21 and 16 HS Systems in the presence of common inhibitors such as hematin, humic acid and tannic acid. Percent of alleles called are indicated.
The advent of direct amplification from FTA® cards has increased demand for faster processing of database, reference and paternity samples. The PowerPlex® 21 System builds on recent advances in Promega STR chemistries, including faster cycling time and direct amplification from FTA® cards. Additionally, the release of this multiplex will be accompanied by new, rapid solutions for swabs and nonFTA cards (SwabSolution™ Kit and PunchSolution™ Kit, respectively). With the new advances, the PowerPlex® 21 System can amplify DNA from a variety of sample types, including difficult casework samples, and is compatible with direct amplification from FTA® card punches as well as pretreated swabs, Bode Buccal Collector™ devices or S&S 903 punches (Figure 3). Finally, rapid cycling technology reduces thermal cycling by as much as two hours. These features combine to reduce sample-to-analysis time for all samples using the PowerPlex® 21 System.
Panel A. Amplification of 500pg of human genomic DNA using the recommended protocol. Amplified products were separated on an Applied Biosystems 3130 Genetic Analyzer (3kV, 5-second injection). Panel B. Direct amplification of one 1.2mm punch from blood on an FTA® card using the recommended protocol. Amplified products were separated on Applied Biosystems 3130 Genetic Analyzer (3kV, 5-second injection). Panel C. A 1.2mm punch from a buccal sample on S&S 903 paper was pretreated with prototype PunchSolution™ reagent, then amplified using the recommended protocol. Amplified products were separated on an Applied Biosystems 3130xl Genetic Analyzer (3kV, 5-second injection). Panel D. A swab from a buccal sample was pretreated with SwabSolution™ reagent, then amplified using the recommended protocol. Amplified products were separated on an Applied Biosystems 3130xl Genetic Analyzer (3kV, 5-second injection).
The PowerPlex® 21 System provides greater discrimination for STR analysis of both casework and database samples than possible with previous multiplexes. Significant labor savings can be realized through simplified protocols for common database and paternity sample types. Increased inhibitor tolerance allows greater success from the most challenging casework samples. Rapid cycling technology ensures that turnaround time for any application is reduced. Finally, in a time of increased data sharing and rapid expansion in the number and size of databases, the PowerPlex® 21 System offers markers used in forensic labs, and found in databases, around the world providing exceptional discrimination to help resolve even more cases.

The extraordinary 600P movement, the world's thinnest shaped tourbillon, is dressed up like a true star. Thanks to the wonderful interplay between baguette-cut and brilliant-cut diamonds, the straight lines of the bezel contrast strikingly with the curves of the case, while the hour markers stand out from the case back. At the centre appears the tourbillon and, on a shimmering mother-of-pearl background, the power-reserve indicator.
600P movement
The tourbillon is probably the most distinguished complication of the watchmaking art. The watchmaker Piaget has developed the world's thinnest shaped tourbillon movement: the 600P movement, measuring just 3.5 mm thick! On aesthetic grounds, the brand opted for a flying tourbillon positioned at 12 o'clock on the movement. The visual effect it produces is accentuated by the presence of the stylised "P" of Piaget. The asymmetry of the design required meticulous adjustments in order to respect the balance of the whole movement. The ultra-thin tourbillon carriage, suspended from a single axis, contains 42 components. Fashioned in titanium, it weighs just 0.2 grammes and performs one rotation per minute. The 600P movement is also equipped with a power reserve at 6 o'clock. The decorative elements such as the circular Côtes de Genève, the circular-grained mainplate, the bevelled hand-drawn bridges, and blued screws reflect the distinctive aesthetic codes of the Swiss watchmaking brand.

Goals: Lunar Orbiter 1 was designed to photograph the Surveyor 1 landing site and scout potential landing sites for the Apollo program in the Moon's southern equatorial region. It's cameras were to provide the first clear images of the far side of the Moon.
Accomplishments: Lunar Orbiter 1 was the first U.S. spacecraft to orbit the Moon. It took 207 pictures of the lunar surface, covering an area of more than 5 million square kilometers. The high-resolution photos were smeared, but the medium-resolution images were the best lunar-surface images returned to date. Included was the first picture of Earth as seen from the Moon. Tracking of the spacecraft's orbit around the Moon confirmed the Luna 10 finding of strong gravitational variations. The tracking data from Lunar Orbiter 1, combined with the data for the four subsequent Lunar Orbiters, led scientists to conclude that the gravity anomalies were caused by large, dense masses of material ("mascons," for mass concentrations) underlying the Moon's near-side basins.

Featured Recipe: 4 Ways Cabernet Filet Mignon
Makes 4 servings
• 4 5 oz. filet mignons
• 1 large onion sliced
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• A pinch of sugar
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 tbsp. butter
• 3 tbsp. lemon juice (one for the marinade, 2 for the sautéed mushrooms)
• 2 bottles of Concannon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
• In one (or more if needed) large, plastic, sealable bag, place filets and add at least
1 cup Cabernet Sauvignon, minced garlic, 1 tbsp. lemon juice, ¼ tspn. salt and
pepper, and a pinch of sugar. Shake well. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Sauté Onions
• Take out filets from fridge to let warm back up to room temperature. While waiting,
sauté the onions.
• Melt butter in a pan over high heat. Add onions and cook until nicely brown.
• Add ¼ cup of Cabernet Sauvignon and salt and pepper to taste.
• Simmer on low for 5 minutes. Add 2 tspn. lemon juice and toss.
Cook Filet
• Heat up a frying pan over medium-high heat. Melt 2 tbsp. of butter in pan.
• When melted, place room-temperature filet in pan for 2-4 minutes, checking often.
• Flip filet over and fry the other side to the desired doneness. (Tip: Do NOT stab or
cut your meat to flip or check doneness or else you will lose the delicious juice.
Instead, flip with a spatula and use a meat thermometer to check internal
temperature. 120–125°F for rare, 130–140°F for medium-rare, 140–150°F for
medium, 150–160°F for mediumwell, and 160°F+ for well-done.)
• When done, place meat in aluminum foil and let the juices collect.
Make Sauce
• Add all meat juices back in the pan and at least 2 cups of Cabernet Sauvignon and
bring to a boil. When sauce is thick, turn off heat and drizzle over filets topped with
the onions.
Serve filet mignon with a glass each of Concannon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon and toast to good health, great food and wine and most importantly, family and friends!

In America
To begin all over again is a classic American dream. But it is remarkably hard to do, as Irish immigrants Johnny and Sarah discover when they hit New York City, with their two spunky young daughters, in the mid-1980s. In pursuit of a dream, the family uses ingenuity and sheer strength of will to make the most of their new life. With no cash to spare, Johnny and Sarah settle into a chaotic New York tenement and attempt to turn the dilapidated setting into a true home. From dragging an iffy-looking air conditioner across Manhattan to finding make-do jobs, nothing comes without a fight for the couple. And yet, as they see America as rife with challenges, dangers and weirdness, their daughters see it as a magical place where anything can happen, a place that might release them from the anguish of what has come before. Then, on Halloween, the girls dare to knock on the door of "the screaming man," a reclusive neighbor named Mateo, and everything changes. As the family heads for a crisis, Mateo becomes their unlikely ally in the territory where hope, faith and even magic hold sway.

You Won't Get Referrals If There's Nothing To Talk About
This is a guest post written by Steve Miller, a Strategic Marketing Gunslinger. It first appeared in his blog Two Hat Marketing and is reproduced with permission. Steve is an author, a professional speaker, and business advisor. Through speeches (both live and online) and consulting projects, he delivers innovative and implementable ideas that create high value for associations and corporations.
Here's a news flash for you. People love to gossip. People love to share gossip. People love to hear gossip.
Wikipedia defines gossip as: "…idle talk or rumour, especially about the personal or private affairs of others."
Gossip is emotional in nature. We gossip when the subject gives us an emotional rise and we think it will do the same for others. Nowadays, gossip has achieved international stature through the media and the Internet. Gossiping over the backyard fence simply isn't good enough anymore. People magazine, E! News, TMZ, Perez Hilton, and the stalkerazzi are all examples of our national obsession for gossip.
We gossip about TV and movie celebrities, politicians, and sports stars. Apparently, those groups haven't quenched our insatiable thirst for gossip as we now gossip about people who have no reason to be famous. Snookie? Jon and Kate? The Balloon Boy? Uh, okay.
And guys, don't go thinking your not involved in gossip or blameless. You laughed with your buddies about Tiger and his 121 affairs. Guess what? That's gossip.
So why am I writing about gossip in my marketing/strategy/innovation blog?
Because I'm suggesting that we want our customers gossiping about us.
Of course, I'm not saying we want them to talk about anything negative or salacious. I'm talking about sharing positive, memorable stories, but sharing them the same way they would share gossip.
I'm talking about Referrals.
Say what, you're thinking?
Here's the thing. Let's say you build widgets. A good customer calls and says, "We really screwed up! Our buyer has been on vacation the last two weeks and we didn't realize we were so low on widgets! Our production line is shut down. We need 500 widgets ASAP!"
What do you do?
A. Calmly say it's no problem. You can get the order processed today and 500 widgets will be shipped overnight tomorrow for delivery the next day?
B. Go back to the warehouse. Box up 500 widgets yourself and overnight them today?
C. Tell the client you'll load up 500 widgets in your car and drive 200 miles to personally deliver them tonight?
A can be described as good, efficient service. But will it get talked about? No.
B can be described as really good service. But will it get talked about? No.
C is over-the-top, extraordinary, unexpected service. Will it get talked about? Yes!
Getting people to willingly and without prompting talk about us is a lot like getting people to gossip about us. The story has to be really good. The story has to be extraordinary.
People never said, "Hey, did you hear Tiger Woods had a nice evening with his wife and family last night?" It wasn't until we had something out-of-the-ordinary…no, actually WAY out-of-the-ordinary that we talked about them. "Did you hear Tiger wrecked his Escalade last night after Elin smashed in his rear window?"
Just like gossip, in business, if something is WORTH talking about, it gets talked about.
You want referrals, right? So what are you doing to get your customers gossiping about you?

Since the merger of the AFL and NFL, how many teams went to more than 3 superbowls in a 10 year span and who were they?
How many teams went to 3 or more consecutive superbowls in a 10 year span and who were they?
since 1970, these teams have gone to more than three SB in a 10 year span since merger (6)Originally Posted by FINintheMOON
Dallas, 1970-1978 (70,71,75,77,78)
Pittsburgh, 1974-1979 (74,75,78,79)
Washington 1982-1991 (82,83,87,91)
San Francisco 1981-1989 (81,84,88,89)
Buffalo 1990-1993 (90,91,92,93)
New England 1996-2004 (96,01,03,04)
I think that`s all of them. I wouldn`t consider Buffalo a dinasty (no titles) but you just said teams that WENT to the SB. the 90`s cowboys are considered a dinasty, but they only went to three SBs
as for the second question, only two teams have gone to three or more straight SBs and those are Miami, 1971-1973 and Buffalo, 1990-1993.
failure has many excuses . . . . . . . success has no explanation

76-77 vs. OAK (Super Bowl XI)

Interpretive Handbook
89292 :
Nucleophosmin (NPM1) Mutation Analysis
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is a heterogenous group of neoplasms. While cytogenetic aberrations detected at the time of diagnosis are the most commonly used prognostic feature, approximately 20% of AML cases show a normal karyotype, which is considered an intermediate-risk feature. Within this group, FLT3 mutations are considered indicators of poor prognosis. However, in the absence of a FLT3 mutation, the presence of a nucleophosmin (NPM1) mutation is associated with a more favorable prognosis. Thus, in patients with newly diagnosed AML, those with normal karyotype, no FLT3 mutation, and a NPM1 mutation are considered to have a better prognosis than patients in the same group with neoplasms lacking a NPM1 mutation.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
As a prognostic indicator in patients with newly diagnosed acute myelogenous leukemia with normal karyotype and no FLT3 mutation
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
The assay will be interpreted as positive, low positive, or negative for the NPM1 mutation. In patients with newly diagnosed acute myelogenous leukemia, a normal karyotype, and no FLT3 mutation, the presence of NPM1 mutation is an indicator of a more favorable prognosis.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This is a qualitative test and is designed to be used at the time of diagnosis when the mutation burden is high. The analytical sensitivity (approximately 5% mutated alleles) is not adequate for monitoring patients during therapy as a test of minimal residual disease.
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.
An interpretive report will be provided.
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Wednesday, September 25, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Sept. 25, 2002) - East Tennessee State University has named Stefanie Reynolds as its new head women's golf coach it was announced today. Reynolds replaces Katie Weiss who left ETSU to take the women's golf coaching position at Minnesota. Reynolds comes to ETSU from Texas Christian where she was the assistant women's golf coach last season. While with the Horned Frogs she assisted with all aspects of the team, including coaching, recruiting and practice organization. A 2001 graduate of South Carolina with a double-major in management and marketing, Reynolds was a two-year member of the women's golf team at South Carolina where she was an Academic All-American both years as well as making the SEC Scholar Athlete Honor Roll twice. Before playing at South Carolina Reynolds played for two years at Wake Forest, where she earned Academic All-America honors in 1999. Reynolds was also involved with helping develop and manage a golf school, the Hartefeld National Golf School, working with that program for four years. There she was responsible for the organization and management of the school's programs, as well as assisting PGA professionals with instruction. "We are really excited to have Stefanie Reynolds join our team as our women's golf coach," said Todd Stansbury, ETSU's director of athletics. "She had a very successful collegiate playing career and coming to us from a program like TCU, which has been at the highest level for many years, she will bring us a strong commitment to our women's golf program, both athletically and academically."

I have a 'old' (if 1 year old is old) Dynasty 350. I'm intrigued by the addition of the "blue lightning" option on the newest 350s.
My issue is that sometimes I don't get the arc to start (welding steel - even super clean 304 stainless). I have learned that a quick tap on the tungsten seems to clean off whatever was preventing the start and it then fires up just fine. Freshly ground electrodes never seem to have the problem. I'm making an assumption that it is a surface contamination or oxidation on the electrode.
Most of my welding is relatively short duration. Weld a couple of inches, then stop etc. I have not correlated anything I'm doing with the arc not starting on the next try.
I've had the same results with 2% thoriated, ceriated, and 'rare earth' electrods. Some days it feels like 50% of the starts are failures. Particularly last night when welding on a small thin piece of 304. I was trying not to overheat it.
Anyway - would "blue lightning" of the latest 350 address this? Is there a possibility of upgrading an older 350? Is it worth it or should I be doing something else?

Dynasty 350 upgrade to newer 350?
Have you inspected the HF gap? And no there is no update kit other than programming for your machine.

Where is the HF gap on a dynasty?
I've been re-reading the manual of late. I know my old Dialarc had a HF gap just below the main panel (behind the panel). It was set with feeler gauge.
I don't see any mention of similiar item on the Dynasty 350. I assumed it was done with electronics, not a physical gap.
Where is it and how do I check it?

Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad
Meredith, NH 03253
Ph: 603-279-5253
The railroad takes visitors along Meredith Bay an offers spectacular views of Lake Winnipesaukee.
The Winnipesaukee train runs from Meredith NH along Meredith Bay clinging to a shelf dug out over 100 years ago for the fast Montreal trains that passed through here. It is a downhill ride most of the way from Meredith to Weirs Beach and the view is spectacular of the Lake, Belknap Mountain and of the islands. Now we are on a level with the lake and we arrive at Weirs Beach. After a brief stop to pick up passengers, we continue our ride to Lakeport all the way along the shore of "Paugus Bay."

But then this IS a gift to Leonard. If we do the video also, we would have to select one of Leonard's longest songs (maybe ALL the verses to Hallelujah ) in order to splice everyone in for a few seconds!
