When changing your aperture to defocus the background, the light sources appear blurred. This 'bokeh' effect of the blurred background can be enhanced with circular aperture blades used in this lens. Conventional aperture blades have flat sides creating unappealing polygonal shaped defocussed points of light. α lenses overcome this problem through a unique design that keeps the aperture almost perfectly circular from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2 stops. Smoother, more natural defocusing can be obtained as a result.
As focal lengths get longer, lenses built with conventional optical glass have difficulties with chromatic aberration, and as a result images suffer from lower contrast, lower color quality, and lower resolution. ED glass dramatically reduces chromatic aberration at telephoto ranges, and provides superior contrast across the entire image, even at large aperture settings. Super ED glass provides enhanced compensation for chromatic aberration.
The distance encoder plays an integral part in ADI flash metering, which delivers high precision flash metering that is unaffected by the reflectance of subjects or backgrounds. The distance encoder is a lens component that directly detects the position of the focusing mechanism, and sends a signal to the CPU in order to measure distance to the subject. During flash photography, this data is very useful in calculating how much flash output is appropriate to the scene.
Rather than using the focus drive motor in the camera body, SAM lenses feature an autofocus motor built into to the lens itself that directly drives the focusing element group. Since the built-in motor directly rotates the focus mechanism, operation is significantly smoother and quieter than conventional coupled autofocus drive systems.

Martin Whitmarsh believes Lewis Hamilton may already be regretting his decision to leave Woking and head to Mercedes next season....
Martin Whitmarsh believes Lewis Hamilton may already be regretting his decision to leave Woking and head to Mercedes next season.
Although Hamilton missed out on this year's World title - and at times because of mistakes made by McLaren - he is a lot higher up the standings than either Mercedes driver.
In fact, ever since Nico Rosberg won the Chinese GP, Mercedes have fallen further and further off the pace.
As such it is a monstrous task facing the team and Hamilton next season, prompting his current team boss to predict that the 27-year-old may be having a few regrets.
"I think he has on occasions, yes," Whitmarsh told the official F1 website when asked if he thought Hamilton 'already regretted his decision'.
"Probably, when you make a decision you have to tell yourself that the decision is made so you have to look forward.
"You say okay, that it is in the past so you don't spend too much time thinking about why. You just look forward and make the best out of the new situation.
"Right now we still want to win races. We are motivated by that and our conversation circles around that.
"And maybe he is completely dispassionate about it, but my guess is that we both will have very emotional moments in Brazil when the separation has arrived."
Whitmarsh, though, revealed that he is still in the dark as to why Hamilton even chose Mercedes over McLaren to start with.
"The simple answer is that I don't know. Lewis would be able to answer that question much better than me.
"If I were speculating there are a number of factors and the prime one, I think, is that there comes a time when a man feels he has to flee the nest.
"I think it was a bit of that and a range of different emotions. He has been with us for so many years that I do not fully understand it."
He added: "We made Lewis an offer - an offer, which I believe is more money than any other driver at the moment is being paid. That leads us to suspect that our competitor and our partner Mercedes-Benz offered a bit more money.
"I don't know that, but I think for Lewis made his decision. I am disappointed in one sense, but you have to focus on going forward."
As for Hamilton's talk that he wants to build something great with a big team like Mercedes, Whitmarsh reckons that's just a really good way to justify what the McLaren boss is hoping will be an 'awful mistake'.
"Ah, you have to justify your decision. He is not going to say 'hey, they offered me more money'. He is also not going to say that he's made an awful mistake.
"I hope he thinks today that he's made an awful mistake and I hope he thinks that next year. He's made that decision and he has to live with that decision.
"I have known him since he was 11 and worked with him since his teens and I know we will both be very emotional after Brazil.
"We have had one or two emotional moments since the decision was taken and I believe, but you must ask him, that we have a very good relationship."

How To Make Egg Drop Soup
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
I find a bowl of egg drop soup to be one of the most soothing and comforting dishes ever invented. You really only need three base ingredients to make it, two in a pinch. And yet breathing in that steamy broth and savoring the first spoonful of silky egg curd, all my troubles immediately fade away.
If you hadn't already guessed, those key ingredients for egg drop soup are stock, eggs, and a bit of cornstarch to thicken things up. You can nix the cornstarch if that's not your style.
But you can also add in other ingredients of your choosing. I love some fresh ginger, star anise, and a cinnamon stick infused in the broth. If I'm eating this soup for dinner, I'll also add some tofu, mushrooms if I have them, and a handful of greens.
This recipe calls for using a bit of cornstarch in both the broth and in the eggs themselves. This is a trick I picked up from Kenji López-Alt in his recipe for egg drop soup on Serious Eats. He says that the bit of cornstarch in the eggs will inhibit protein bonds and keep the eggs from going rubbery. Since starting to follow this advice, all my egg drop soups have been silky smooth and never over-cooked.
This soup is properly an appetizer. Despite its simplicity, I guarantee that your guests will be overjoyed to see this coming when you walk out of the kitchen. This recipe will make four small cups of soup, but can be easily scaled up if you have more guests at your table. I generally use 1 to 2 cups of broth and one egg per person.
One last parting note: this is not a soup that keeps well. It's best poured straight from the saucepan into the serving bowls and then eaten as soon as it's cool enough to swallow.
Base Ingredients
4 cups (32 oz) chicken or vegetable stock
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 to 4 large eggs
Salt or soy sauce
Flavoring Extras - Use one or all
1/2" fresh ginger, peeled and cut into rounds
1 stem lemongrass, bruised
1/2 teaspoon peppercorns
2 star anise
6-8 whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons miso
Soup Extras - Use one or all
1/2 block (7-8 oz) extra-firm tofu, cut into bite-sized pieces
8 oz mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 bunch baby bok choy, thinly sliced
4 spring onions, thinly sliced
Pour the stock into a saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Put the smaller flavoring extras you're using into a tea ball or spice bag. Add all your flavoring extras to the saucepan with the stock. Turn down the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes. Scoop out all the flavoring extras with a slotted spoon. Taste and add salt or soy sauce as needed.
Add any soup extras to the stock and simmer for five minutes. Save some scallions for sprinkling on top of the soup at the end.
Scoop out 1/4 cup or so of the stock and whisk it with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in a small bowl. Whisk this back into the stock and let it simmer for a minute or two until the broth no longer tastes starchy.
Whisk together the eggs in a small bowl with the remaining teaspoon of cornstarch. Make sure your soup is at a bare simmer. Holding a fork over the bowl (see photo), pour the eggs slowly through the tines. Whisk the broth gently with your other hand as you pour. Let the soup stand for a few seconds to finish cooking the eggs.
Serve immediately, topped with thinly sliced scallions.

ETSU defensive effort powers win over Stetson
Requires Adobe Flash

Click here for ETSU vs. Stetson Box Score
Senior guard Mike Smith had a game-high 23 in the win over Stetson.
Tuesday, January 11, 2011
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 10, 2011)
By producing a 19-0 offensive run midway through the first half and holding Stetson to just 42 points for the game, the ETSU men's basketball team picked up its sixth straight victory with a 62-42 Atlantic Sun Conference win over the Hatters Monday evening inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.
The 42 points allowed matched the 2000-01 Buccaneers, who held Lynchburg to just 42 in a 65-42 victory 10 years ago. Against Division I opponents, it was the lowest point total for an ETSU opponent since 1997-98, when Coastal Carolina scored just 41 against the Bucs.
On the offensive end, senior guards
Mike Smith
(Vandalia, Mo.) and
Micah Williams
(Manchester) were the difference, posting 23 and 19 points, respectively. With the win, ETSU improved to 10-7 overall, 5-1 in league play, while Stetson dropped to 5-11, 3-3.
"We were very concerned about this game," said ETSU head coach
Murry Bartow
. "Stetson had just beaten Upstate on the road and Lipscomb at home. Defensively we stepped up and played well. We just have to give our guys the credit for that."
The Bucs initially got off to a slow start, as the Hatters for the third straight year attempted to slow the game down and get ETSU out of its running and gunning style. It worked until the 8:19 mark, when Stetson went up by three at 14-11 thanks to a pair of free throws from Aaron Graham.
At that point, the Bucs manufactured a 19-0 offensive run and built a lead of 30-14. During that stretch, ETSU held the Hatters scoreless until a 3-pointer from Aaron Graham with 30 seconds left in the half made it 30-17. The 17 points for Stetson in the first half matched the lowest point total of the season for an ETSU opponent, as Milligan only managed 17 as well.
In the second half, Stetson pulled to within nine at 34-25, but from there the Bucs methodically built their lead to as many as 21 points at 54-33 with just under five minutes left in the game.
For the contest, the Bucs shot 50 percent from the floor and out-rebounded the Hatters 36-31. ETSU held Stetson to just 31 percent shooting and forced the Hatters into 18 turnovers. The Bucs also outscored Stetson 30-10 in the paint and held a 22-12 edge in points off turnovers.
ETSU will return to action Thursday evening on the road at North Florida. Tip is set for 7 p.m. The Bucs will then face Jacksonville at 3:15 p.m. on Saturday.

Greetings Board! I have a pressing matter on my hands and need to address it immediately. So, I was playing some 45 shim, casual, odd dog action today with some homies and something horrible happened. Before I get to my misfortune I will inform the board of the round until that point. We tee'd off on hole 1 at approximately 6:00pm and the Disc Golf Gods granted all 8 of us with a star frame. Holes 2-5 went well, except one of our fellow brothers decided to hyzer a 150 gram dragon into the swamp/pond on hole 2. (F.Y.I. dragons do not float in water and water moccasins are highly attracted to them.) After wading through the swamp/pond for about 45 minutes and eventually putting out on hole 5 we made our way to hole 6.
Before I get ahead of myself I would like to state that I parked a roller on hole 5 and was the only one to get a birdie so I had the pleasure of teeing off first on hole 6. Like anyone in my position after 3 penthouses and a roller park job, I decided to try out my newly tuned 165 gram Steady Ed Signature Blowfly. Before approaching the pad I gracefully brushed my Blowfly with my birdie bag as if it was some majestic disc about to finish up on hole 18 at the Amateur Worlds. I decided to roll the Blowfly because the grass seemed to be groomed and I thought it would be the best way to mark a birdie or perhaps a roller ace. I thought everything was going well until I grip locked my Blowfly and lost site of it.
This is where I need to make my point and hopefully this will open up some eyes and create some action or change. While looking for my lost dog I noticed that there were many fairway imperfections that caused me to grip lock and lose my Blowfly. I cannot take full responsibility for these imperfections. Only those associated with the Lenora Park Disc Golf Course can. I majored in Landscape Architecture back in '79 and know my grass. For most of you that don't know the fairways at Lenora, we are dealing with Rough Bluegrass. Rough Bluegrass is commonly mistaken for Kentucky Bluegrass. For an avid disc golfer this can be fatal while throwing a roller. Many "people" mistake Rough Bluegrass for the sickly Kentucky Bluegrass. The truth is that this is its own type of grass. Unfortunately, for my Blowfly and probably many other lost dogs, this grass is very sensitive and doesn't thrive in any but the coldest of climates. This explains why the average round at Lenora is much better from the months of October through February.
So, your probably asking yourself, where do we go from here? Well, I have taken it upon myself to contact the necessary officials to fix this problem. It will take some patience from the disc golf community but it is in everyone's best interest that we follow through with this. I have not yet drafted the the final report but it will take closing down hole 6 for roughly 8 months in order to extract all the grass that presently stands there. We will then go in and replace the defective grass with the correct grass. After the replacement there is another 6 month waiting period so that we can make sure there is optimal growth. After this 14 month period I promise there will not be any complaints associated with hole 6.
Thank you for your time and may the course be with you!
"When in doubt...throw a roller." - Steady Ed

Epilepsy surgery is a procedure that either removes or isolates the area of your brain where your seizures originate. If the section of your brain where your seizures begin is too vital to remove, your surgeon can make a series of incisions that prevent your seizures from spreading to the rest of your brain.
Epilepsy surgery works best for people who have seizures that always originate in the same place in their brains. To be considered for epilepsy surgery, you must have tried at least two anti-seizure drugs without success. If two appropriate drugs have failed, it is highly unlikely that any other anti-epileptic drug will help you.
In most cases, epilepsy surgery can reduce — and sometimes even eliminate — your seizure activity. Repeated epileptic seizures can cause:
The type of epilepsy surgery you may have depends on the types of seizures you experience and where they begin in your brain. They include:
Your risks may vary, depending on which variety of epilepsy surgery is used and the portion of your brain involved:
If you're a candidate for epilepsy surgery, your pre-surgical evaluation may include:
To avoid infection, your hair will need to be clipped short over the section of your skull that will be removed during the operation. Many times the neurosurgical team will be able to shave that area in such a way that other parts of your hair will cover up the bald patch after the surgery. Some people want their entire head shaved. Shaving is not done if the surgery is for a child.
You will have an intravenous access in place, and your heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen levels will be monitored throughout the surgery. An EEG monitor also may be recording your brain waves during the operation to better localize the part of your brain where your seizures start.
Epilepsy surgery is usually performed during general anesthesia. That means you'll be unconscious during the procedure, which involves making a small opening in your skull to access the brain. In rare circumstances, your surgeon may awaken you during part of the operation to help the team determine which parts of your brain control language and movement. After surgery the window of bone is replaced and fastened to the remaining skull for healing. Most epilepsy surgeries take at least four hours.
You'll be in a special recovery area to be monitored carefully as you awaken after the anesthesia. You may need to spend the first night after surgery in an intensive care unit. The total hospital stay for most epilepsy surgeries is usually about three or four days.
When you awaken, your head will be swollen and painful. Most people need narcotics for the pain for at least the first few days. An ice pack on your head also may help. Most postoperative swelling and pain resolve within several weeks.
You'll probably not be able to return to work or school for approximately one to three months. You should rest and relax the first few weeks after epilepsy surgery and then gradually escalate your activity.
It's unlikely that you would need intensive rehabilitation as long as the surgery was completed without complications such as stroke, paralysis or loss of speech.
Depending on their underlying cause, some seizures can be resistant to medication, but they are also the most likely to be helped by epilepsy surgery. For example, nearly 90 percent of people who experience temporal lobe seizures see a significant reduction or even a cessation of seizures after epilepsy surgery.
You must continue to take anti-seizure medications after epilepsy surgery, to help improve your chances of remaining seizure-free. Your doctor may be able to wean you off anti-seizure drugs after a year or two.

Tamarind (Tamarindus indica)
From the sausage-shaped fruits of the tamarind tree comes the sticky acidic pulp that has been used as a food ingredient for thousands of years.
Tamarind is found throughout the tropics. The edible fruits, and especially the pulp, can be eaten raw or used as an ingredient in curries, pickles, confectionery and in fermented drinks.
Tamarind can be seen growing in Kew's Palm House.

Thinking of starting a nonprofit organization, but not sure how? Or have you started a nonprofit, but you're not sure where to secure funding? These are common questions for people who have a vision to create a business but lack the information to empower their dream.
Sherita Herring is the founder and president of Kreative Images Foundation. Formerly an executive director for the YMCA, Herring's primary role was to obtain lucrative grants for the organization. In 1994, she decided to use her expertise to help nonprofits, community development corporations and various professionals to become nonprofit powerhouses through properly structuring their companies and procuring grants.
The following Q&A with Ms. Herring on how to profit with a nonprofit organization.
What's the difference between a for profit and a nonprofit organization?
A for profit company can have stock and offer an investor a return on his investment. A nonprofit can't offer stock. But donations are tax deductible. The nonprofit needs to fill out the 1023 form with the IRS to facilitate that status.
Is there profit in a nonprofit?
Many times people hear the word "nonprofit" and they think that means there's no profit, but there is no limit on the profit. Unfortunately, millions of grant dollars are untapped due to nonprofits' lack of knowledge on how to procure them.
How do they make a profit?
There isn't a ceiling on how many grants a nonprofit can have. Grants are contingent upon the services provided. Keep in mind, measurable program outcome generate measurable organization income. Obtainable grants can go as high as seven figures or higher for programs like a housing project for Katrina survivors.
How do you identify new funding sources?
I offer a free newsletter each month giving people information on grants. But the Internet is a great tool too. You can enter a description in the search window, such as "youth, gangs, grants" and it will list sources. There are also books in the public library or at book stores.
Can people pay themselves a large salary at a nonprofit?
Absolutely. It's just like any company. Your pay is commensurate with your experience, program deliverables and the market value of that position.
Where do nonprofits go wrong in not obtaining funding?
They go wrong in many areas. First of all, many fail to structure their company correctly and have ineffective program strategies. Funding agencies look at all of those things, including your board of directors to make sure their investment is protected. If your last name is Williams and your board members' last names are Williams, that's a conflict of interest. It doesn't mean that family members can't be on the board, they just can't be voting members. The other area they go wrong in is filling out the application improperly. However, grant procurement is achievable.
To obtain Kreative Images' free grant newsletter, contact them at www.kifoundation.org or calling (323) 294-0223.

Twenty years ago, a little book hit the marketplace with a simple premise: an elementary school girl writes and doodles in a journal, and we get to see it. That little book turned into another one…and another one…and another one…and the Amelia's Notebook series became one of the most beloved in children's literature.
Now that the 30th --- and final (!) --- book in the series is coming out and Amelia is graduating middle school, we wanted to talk to this spunky protagonist's creator, Marissa Moss. Read our interview below to learn about her inspiration, her writing process and some intriguing pieces of fan mail, and be sure to check out AMELIA'S MIDDLE SCHOOL GRADUATION YEARBOOK!

This month, James Patterson made a couple of major announcements --- he's donating 100,000 copies of his newest book, PUBLIC SCHOOL SUPERHERO, to schools and youth programs around the country, and he's teaming up with Scholastic to donate $1.25 million in grants to school libraries.
We asked James to tell us more about his new book, why he thinks that school libraries are so important and what influence his young readers have on the content of his books. Read his answers, below, and apply here to nominate your school library to receive a grant!

Witches come in all forms --- they can wear pointed hats and ride broomsticks across the night skies, cast spells from rickety shacks or imposing castles, or, in the case of Grunhilda from THE LUNCH WITCH, they can serve you food in the school cafeteria! Grunhilda befriends a bespectacled little girl named Madison, but when Madison needs her help, she has to decide what to do --- helping people isn't a very witchy activity, afterall.

Anything can inspire a great book idea --- even making up a crazy name! That's what happened to N. Griffin, the author of SMASHIE MCPERTER AND THE MYSTERY OF ROOM 11, a new book about a pair of best freinds who must find the missing class hamster and contend with a particularly self-involved, hair gel-obsessed substitute teacher. In our interview below, N. Griffin tells us more about Smashie's memorable name, her favorite books growing up and what we can expect next for the students in room 11!

Have you seen the ISS?
Did you know that the international space station is visible at night from various points on earth?
You can check out where it is at any time of day by going to this link
Have you personally seen it? It looks like a bright white light travelling across the sky, it is really neat to think that there are humans up there orbiting the earth and looking down on us.
What are your thoughts on the space station?
Can anyone explain in layman's terms how it stays in a particular orbit?
This is also a video on TED you might enjoy:
Closing Statement from W T
Krisztian and Ed........thank you so much for his interchange of ideas and information.
Keep looking up!!!
Gail .
Feb 23 2013: Shoot a bullet out of a gun. It will go straight then fall. Do the same from the top of the leaning tower of Pizza (when no one is around). It will go farther because the distance to the ground (it falls at an angle) is greater. Do the same on top of Mt Everest, and it will go much further before it falls because it has so far to fall. Now go to a point in space and shoot that gun again. The bullet will continue to fall to earth, but because the earth is a sphere, it falls along the same lines as the earth's curved surface.
- 0
Feb 23 2013: Very simple explanation. Great for kids.
Thank you so much.
Have you seen the ISS?Feb 22 2013: ah, about the question: it falls, but always misses the earth :) seriously, imagine a cannon ball shot horizontally. as it slopes downwards, sooner or later hits the surface. but what if you fire it fast enough, so as it bends downward, it just follows the curved surface? it will fall forever, but will never actually get any closer. like a dog chasing its tail.
Feb 22 2013: Right on! If you fire it from Earth and make it go fast enough (Escape Velocity) it will overcome the Earth's gravitational pull sufficiently to go right through Earth's atmosphere off into space where it will either continue moving away from Earth, or finally slow-down enough to settle into a state of eqilibrium called an orbit.
Feb 22 2013: Thanks Ed.
Have you seen the ISS up over Arizona?
The night sky there can be so clear.....perfect for observing the skies at night.
Feb 23 2013: We have a good astronomy club that hosts monthly star parties at the local observatory. Those folks enjoy the ISS very much. At some point in the evening one of them will announce, "Watch bearing 190 and azimuth 75 (high in the Southern sky) in two minutes there will be an Iridium Flare." And sure enough there is a sudden bright light reflecting off a satellite, very dramatic. Some of them have taken photos of the ISS through their telescopes. Rumor has it one amateur got a photo from Earth showing an astronaut working outside the space station in orbit! Fantastic stuff.Feb 23 2013: Wow Ed!
How cool to be at one of those star parties.
Several times in the past when we have driven through the darkness of the Everglades I stare out the car window in awe of the stars. Sadly though we have so much light coming from all the cities along the coast that the view is not so good, but at least it is much better than from our front door.
There is a site where you can see the time lapse photography from a station in Chile where they observe the Milky Way.......really beautiful. I learned about it through one of the TEDster's comments on the talk above. It's worth a visit.
The best view of space I've had has been from the island of Hispanola......saw the Milky Way while up in a mountain riding a motorcycle.......almost fell off too!! The site was so incredible.Feb 22 2013: Thanks for that explanation.
I really want to know how it varies in orbit.
Because sometimes it's orbit takes it above Florida, and sometimes it doesn't.
Does this have to do with the tilting of the earth? Or do they program the station to move?
Feb 22 2013: no it has to do with tilting, but not of the earth, but between the satellite orbit and the equator. and it has to do with the fact that you can't fill the day with orbital periods. it takes about 93 minutes to go a full circle. that means it makes 15.6 circles a day. because of that 0.6 at the end, after exactly 15 orbits, the ISS returns to the same point. but the earth did not manage to get there just yet, it still has a little to go to finish its first turn. but the ISS won't wait of course, and it starts to sweep a line over a different area, parallel to the one yesterday.
Feb 22 2013: ok, I'm not understanding.......I read your explanation several times :P
If it doesn't have to do with the earth's tilt then shouldn't the orbit be always over the same line the entire 15.6 circles......or are you saying that because the earth is also moving (rotating) then this affects the iss?
Explain to me what does the equator have to do with it.....is it it's protrusion...or the magnetic fields of north and south pole....or what?
Thanks for your patience....I am really trying to understand to be able to explain it to my kids.Feb 22 2013: it has nothing to do with anything outside earth, and it is pure geometry, nothing else is involved.
imagine a strange merry-go-round that has two rings, one inside the other, and they are at an angle to each other. they only meet in two points. also, the two rings are not rotating at the same speed. kids touch hands. then they go around, but one will complete a circle sooner, so they won't meet again. the same kid in the inner circle will touch hands with a different kid on the outer circle.
Feb 22 2013: I was really lousy at geometry.
But, I am going to reread your explanations, and think and draw and hopefully I will figure it out and be able to explain it to the kids.
edward long
Feb 23 2013: Here's an excerpt from Science Officer Ed Lu's's email letter to Earthlings from aboard the ISS:
- +1
". . . our orbit hoop slowly rotates due to the fact that the Earth isn't quite a perfect sphere. This turns out to apply a torque to our orbit which makes it slowly shift westward with respect to the sun . . . It is the same effect that makes a spinning top wobble. In effect our orbit is like a large top, and the fact that the Earth has a bit of a bulge around the equator causes our orbit hoop to wobble slowly."
Feb 23 2013: AHA!
That is exactly the explanation I needed.
So Krisztian mentions something about the equator.......and geometry....but here Ed Lu does a fabulous job of explaning it. Now I can even due a simulation with a top, great!!
Thanks Ed.......let me give you a telescope and call you an astronomer :DFeb 22 2013: sure, i have seen it many times. okay, not that many, but at least 3.
Feb 22 2013: cool!! did the travel time across the sky vary each time?
How did you know to look for it?
Feb 22 2013: it moves at a constant speed, so the time is dependent on the path it travels. the best you can get is like half the sky, so it rises, slowly goes to the top, and then suddenly disappears. disappears, as it enters the earth's shadow.
first time we were just sitting on a balcony, and saw something moving. later i used the heavens-above website to know beforehand when to look. it also tells you where to find, and how bright it will be.
important! you have to set your location with the Configuration / Current observing site.
Feb 22 2013: yep....we have seen it where it goes over close to the horizon and lasts only a minute. And we have seen it where it cuts our night sky in half and lasts close to 3 minutes going across.
There's a site we use that tells us the exact time it will be passing over us, and from which direction it is coming, and how long the path will take.
My son is so fascinated by it, especially since we visited the Kennedy space center last year.
It would be really cool to go up on the shuttle and stay at the station a few days.
I wonder how big they can get it to become.Feb 22 2013: if he is so into it, and you won't mind a little trip, i highly recommend catching an iridium flare. iridium flares are ISS sightings on steriods, for hikers.
Feb 22 2013: I will look this up as well. Thanks
Here is the link we use, you just click the location and it will give you the dates and times it is visible:
http://iss.astroviewer.net/observation.phpFeb 22 2013: heavens-above is better. it gives you a sky-map too. so you can locate the constellations it will cross beforehand.
Feb 23 2013: I noticed that it has much more information on it......it's a great site.
I'm going to share it with a friend of ours who is an amateur astronomer.

Indorama to mothball PET plant in the UK
9:32 AM MST | November 13, 2013 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez
Indorama Ventures (Bangkok) has decided to mothball the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plant of the company's Indorama Polymers subsidiary at Workington, UK as part of a business improvement plan and restructuring of the company's European businesses, the company announced. "The Workington site may be operated again in two years' time subject to market conditions," the company says. The mothballing will be effective no later than 31 March 2014. The decision will not have any material effect on Indorama's performance and customers will be served...

Is it mostly a question of register?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Chinese Language Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for students, teachers, and linguists wanting to discuss the finer points of the Chinese language. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Normally, 怎么 is more oral than 如何. 如何 can be read in much ancient literature, and it can also be used in formal documents, but that is too formal.
You may express "How about that?" saying:
There is an idiom 如何是好, which expresses "What/How should I do?".
Actually, I believe both "怎么" and "如何" have multiple senses. So you'd better to look up a thesaurus or specify which sense you are referring here.

What's your job?
After graduating from HS in 1969 I started working in a fabrication shop. They started me doing small weld jobs with all the other items that I had to do there. I was drafted into the US Army for two years and then returned to the same fabrication shop. I figured I would take advantage of the GI Bill, so I went to Lincoln Electric for their ten week program. Returned to work for another year then went to Hobart for more education. Shortly there after I left to work in a repair shop fixing equipment for the steel industry in the Buffalo, NY area. With the steel industry closing down, I then got a job working as a maintenance tool and die welder with General Motors. I stayed there for thirty years and recently retired. I taught welding at the University of Buffalo part time from 2000 to 2002. Recently since retirement at the end of last year, I decided to share my experience. I have started working for a local company, Quality Inspection Services as a welding instructor.
I always tell people, I'm just a young guy with a lot of miles. I have a interest in welded metal sculpture and have done some small floral sculptures out of Stainless Steel. Someday I would like to do items like Weldress has shown on the site.
No job. Retired. Don't "work" anymore!
My hobbies are searching for the perfect brew-pub, fishing, cooking, wood and metal work, and the "happiness of pursuit".

Well now I work for a crane service as a field service tech. Job includes welding, electrical installation and trouble shooting, mechanical trouble shooting.
I was a machinist for seventeen years till I decided I didn't like the direction the profession was going. So I managed a facilities maintenance dept for four years then found the crane job. Different everyday no boss to breath down your neck or micro manage you to death. and it pays better then standing in front of a machine all day.
Now I use the machines for MY stuff I want to make.

I am a R&D manager for a medical device manufacturer. I don't weld for my job, but as an engineer you can not have enough technical skills nor TOOLS! I started out in a technical high school and always enjoyed working with metal.

I'm a blacksmith, and sculptor. (Haven't seen that job description here yet.) Trained in the old ways: coal forge, anvil, hammer. Traditional welding is done in the forge, at a welding heat of about 2350º F.
But hey, MIG is great. As is plasma cutting. And one of these days I'm going to get my Dynasty 200 up and running! I swear!
But down here in the south of Mexico, hand tools are still the rule. Hand hack saws, and hand filing. And a lot of chisel work.
The forges burn charcoal, not coal. It's a different, wonderful world. Incredible! And the local version of tequila, called mezcal, is oh so tasty!

The Fort Wayne TinCaps will spend $800,000 to build a party box for up to 150 spectators at Parkview Field.
In a news conference Wednesday, the team announced that the coming "400 Club" will be located 400 feet from home plate and will provide a climate-controlled venue for fans with a long wall of windows. It will have five retractable doors that can make 400 Club open-air or enclosed, as conditions dictate or groups using it prefer.
The money for 400 Club comes entirely from the TinCaps, the team emphasized in a statement announcing the plan. The team also said 400 Club is the first space of its kind in minor-league baseball.
Among the features it provide are an all-you-can-eat menu that includes beer and wine for $40 per person. Although it's designed as a draw for groups, on those game days when it is not reserved for groups, individual fans will be able to watch the action from 400 Club, too.
The TinCaps also noted that the new venue at the ballpark would be designed and built by Fort Wayne talent. Design Collaborative is the lead architect and Weigand Construction will be the project's general contractor.
Construction will begin soon and wrap up by mid-May, according to estimates from the TinCaps.

Giedo van der Garde is happy for new Red Bull signing Daniel Ricciardo as his promotion is a sign that if drivers prove themselves they can advance.
On Monday night, Red Bull Racing announced that Toro Rosso driver Ricciardo would race for them next season, replacing the retiring Mark Webber.
The team later spoke of the Aussie's signing, revealing that they wanted someone up-and-coming rather than a driver with experience.
Ricciardo's new deal means for the second season running, a young driver has earned a promotion to one of the big teams after Sergio Perez stepped into a McLaren seat this year.
"For them [Ricciardo and Perez] it's a great opportunity," the Caterham driver told James Allen's JA on F1 podcast.
"I'm still very good friends with Checo and I know he's very happy with McLaren. The results are not going as planned, but he said the team is pushing hard and he's happy.
"It's good to see Ricciardo get a seat next to Vettel for next season and I hope he does well. Of course it's encouraging. I still keep on pushing and see where I end up."
For now the 28-year-old is seeking a second season in Formula One believing he has done enough to show the teams he belongs.
"It's tough to come to Formula 1. It took more years than expected to get here. It's a tough life but once here, I think I've proven myself to be quick enough and belong here."

Would he be an upgrade for us?
Would he be an upgrade for us?
He's been pretty poor this season. Although after the Colts game it couldn't hurt to bring him in for a look. It couldn't make our secondary any worse.
A player who gets cut by the worst team in football = Upgrade?
They're still a team that didn't give up 430+ passing yards in a game against a rookie qb and fairly average group of receivers.
I hate these threads... Dude got cut by the worst team in the NFL! Please stop this BS
wouldnt hurt to check him out. use to be decent for oak

I agree he used to be decent for Oakland I would bring him In We have nothing to lose
Cut by the worse team in football in the MIDDLE of the season.... I think not!

|SEO, aka Search Engine Optimization, aka getting found
For today's task, I want you to slow down and think a little about SEO (which tech-speak for search engine optimization, which is itself an intelligent way of saying "what gets your website to display at or near the top of a search on Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc."). So this task is actually multi-pronged.
- Make a list of keywords that you want your website or blog to be known for. For instance, I want MNINB to be known for terms like "Robert Lee Brewer," "Writing Tips," "Parenting Tips," "Platform Tips," "Living Tips," etc. Think big here and don't limit yourself to what you think you can actually achieve in the short term.
- Compare your website or blog's current content to your keywords. Are you lining up your actual content with how you want your audience to view you and your online presence? If not, it's time to think about how you can start offering content that lines up with your goals. If so, then move on to the next step, which is...
- Evaluate your current approach to making your content super SEO-friendly. If you need some guidance, check out these SEO Tips for Writers. There are very simple things you can do with your titles, subheads, and images to really improve SEO. Heck, I get a certain bit of traffic every single day just from my own SEO approach to content--sometimes on surprising posts.
- Research keywords for your next post. When deciding on a title for your post and subheads within the content, try researching keywords. Here's a free keyword tool you can use from Google. When possible, you want to use keywords that are searched a lot but that have low competition. These are the low-hanging fruit that can help you build strong SEO for your website or blog.
Anyway, I thought I was going to make today fairly easy, but now I see that I've actually laid out a 4-step checklist of things to do. Feel free to vent in the comments below and call me not nice things on the social media site of your choosing.
