while it is true that Acetate can break down, particularly if stored in areas of high temperature and Humidity, accompanied by rusty metal, it is relatively stable. High humidity can also allow the groth of fungus on any type of film, so keeping the humidity down is always to the good.
Poly film is used for industrial photography, (such as shooting from aircraft, etc) as it is very dimensionally stable and very tough. This is the same reason is is used for Motion Picture PRINT film. On the minus side it is curly, and attracts dust.
I shot an old roll of HP5 Motor drive film from my freezer this summer, it was of course rather fogged but still worked. I used a canon 300V as most of my canons stop after 36 shots no matter how much film they have. I still have the special Stainless Tank and reel, but the filling cap has been misplaced. I managed with some gaffer tape.
Most movie negative is still Acetate.

Popular passages
Page 97 - For the will itself is not an agent that has a will; the power of choosing itself has not a power of choosing. That which has the power of volition or choice, is the man or the soul, and not the power of volition itself.
Page 184 - THE plain and obvious meaning of the words freedom and liberty, in common speech, is power, opportunity, or advantage, that any one has to do as he pleases.
Page 142 - To suppose the future volitions of moral agents not to be necessary events ; or, which is the same thing, events which it is not impossible but that they may not come to pass ; and yet to suppose that God certainly foreknows them, and knows all things, is to suppose God's knowledge to be inconsistent with itself.
Page 91 - ... you cannot form a notion of this faculty, conscience, without taking in judgment, direction, superintendency. This is a constituent part of the idea, that is, of the faculty itself : and to preside and govern, from the very economy and constitution of man, belongs to it. Had it strength, as it has right ; had it power, as it has manifest authority, it would absolutely govern the world.
Page 155 - Philosophical Necessity is really nothing else than the full and fixed connection between the things signified by the subject and predicate of a proposition, which affirms something to be true.
Page 3 - MAN, as the minister and interpreter of nature, does and understands as much as his observations on the order of nature, either with regard to things or the mind, permit him, and neither knows nor is capable of more.
Page 95 - ... for the most part, but not always. For the mind having in most cases, as is evident in experience, a power to suspend the execution and satisfaction of any of its desires, and so all, one after another is at liberty to consider the objects of them, examine them on all sides, and weigh them with others.
Page 131 - I cannot make freedom in man consistent with omnipotence and omniscience in God; though I am as fully persuaded of both, as of any truths I most firmly assent to. And therefore I have long since given off the consideration of that question, resolving all into this short conclusion, That if it be possible for God to make a free agent, then man is free, though I see not the way of it.
Page 91 - Thus, that principle by which we survey, and either approve or disapprove our own heart, temper, and actions, is not only to be considered as what is in its turn to have some influence ; which may be said of every passion, of the lowest appetites : but likewise as being superior ; as from its very nature manifestly claiming superiority over all others ; insomuch that you cannot...
Page 42 - There is scarcely a plainer and more universal dictate of the sense and experience of mankind than that, when men act voluntarily, and do what they please, then they do what suits them best, or what is most agreeable to them.

Unit: PRIMER
The R in PRIMER represents Resources. New or expanded enterprises often require new or expanded resources.
- Is this enterprise adaptable to my area?Yes No Maybe
- Do I have experience with this enterprise?Yes No Maybe
- Do I have, or can I get, the resources to produce
this product?Yes No Maybe
- Are highly specialized resources required that
have limited alternative uses?Yes No Maybe
Different Resources
A New enterprise may require investment in machinery, buildings, or land. Labor and management requirements may be different for new enterprises. Farmers already producing labor intensive crops often look toward other labor intensive enterprises as supplements or alternatives. New enterprises with labor requirements that complement rather than conflict with the labor peaks of current farm enterprises may fit well to keep laborers more fully employed. The best resource situation for new or expanding enterprises is when existing resources can be used or adapted. Large investments in capital resources for untried or risky alternatives may not be well received at the lender's desk, especially if they are highly specialized. If current resources of land, labor and capital can be used, then the risk of entering into a new enterprise is reduced.

When you give a malaria donation, your money goes to help the world's most vulnerable citizens ... children living in poverty. Your malaria donation through Compassion's Malaria Intervention fund will literally save lives. Your money provides children and their families with insecticide-treated mosquito nets, health care and education about the disease.
Children who live in poverty already face extremely difficult odds of survival. Without your malaria donation, the odds of survival are even smaller. When you give as little as ten dollars, it will provide a child in poverty with a bed net treated with insecticide to prevent mosquito bites.
Malaria is an easily preventable, treatable disease, yet around the world a child dies of malaria every 30 seconds. When malaria goes untreated, cerebral malaria can develop in as little as two days. When this happens, a child can slip into a coma and eventually die. Your malaria donation to Compassion's Malaria Intervention fund can prevent this tragic and totally unnecessary situation.
Preventng malaria is so easy, its almost a no-brainer. Give a malaria donation today and give a child in poverty one less burden to bear.
More than half the world's population live in areas at risk of malaria transmission. And according to the World Health Organization (WHO) there were approximately 198 million cases of malaria in 2013.
Even though malaria is a preventable, treatable disease, WHO estimates that there were 584,000 deaths from malaria in 2013 and that a child in Africa dies from malaria every minute.
A donation of $18 provides an insecticide-treated bed net, plus training for a child and his or her family to avoid the mosquito bites that cause this disease and can ultimately lead to death if untreated.
This fund is a part of Health and Medical Needs.
Mumu, a Compassion-assisted child in Kenya, is no stranger to malaria. Several times a year she struggled through the fever, headaches and pain of malaria. Then Mumu, along with more than 400 children in her community, received a treated mosquito bed net from Compassion.
"Now I sleep comfortably," she says. "I do my homework without even thinking about the mosquitoes. I am glad that I have a net to sleep under every night!"
You have entered an invalid dollar amount.

The Nov. 5 front-page, banner headline "Utahns: Nation's going astray" was not the most important news of the day. I hope you didn't pay for that poll.
Duh! I, or anybody over 12 years old, could have told you that 70 percent-plus of Utahns believe "the state is marching toward a better future and the nation as a whole is stumbling in the wrong direction."
If a Republican had been president the past four years, having achieved the same (or lesser) record of leadership as President Barack Obama, I'll bet 70 percent of Utahns would have believed that the nation, like the state, also was marching toward a better future.

SandyPines youth treatment center looking to expand
TEQUESTA — Officials from SandyPines treatment center off County Line Road met with Martin County planners last month to begin the permitting process for an $8 million expansion that would almost double its current size and add dozens of employees to the payroll.
John McCarthy, chief executive officer of the for-profit residential psychiatric treatment facility for children and youth, says the 50,000-square-foot facility and the Martin County school housed within it are already bursting at the seams.
"Right now we have 88 beds, which have been pretty much fully utilized for over a year, and there's a waiting list," he said. "So there's no where to grow unless we expand."
The approximately 40,000-square-foot expansion will include room for 38 additional beds and a new school building for the center, which opened in 1990. The current campus, known as Riverbend Academy, has a total of eight classrooms serving elementary through high-school students scattered around the hospital. McCarthy hopes the completely separate school will give patients at the facility a greater appreciation for their educational opportunities.
"What we hope to have is a designated school that's more normalized," he said. "The school will be totally self-contained and include 13 classrooms, a library and a computer technology room. We even hope to include a vocational and technical school, depending on how far we can stretch the budget."
The Martin County School District is supportive of the new school but not contributing financially, according to district spokesperson Cathleen Brennan. The addition of the larger educational facility could eventually translate into new teaching jobs, however. Currently there are about eight teachers and eight teacher's aides funded for the academy's eight classrooms.
"The school district will continue to provide the educational program for students at Sandy Pines," Brennan said. "The number of teachers and paraprofessionals allocated to the facility is based on the number of students enrolled for educational services."
Sandy Pines currently has about 167 employees and plans on adding about 30 new ones the year the new wing opens, McCarthy added.
"Depending on how fast things move, we could add another 38 employees after that," he said.
McCarthy hopes to break ground on the new addition by late spring.
"If nothing goes wrong with the permitting process, we will actually start June 1 and complete by Feb. 1 of 2013," he said. "All of our contract has been sub contracted, and everybody who is significantly involved with the project is already on board."

"Inspection parity will also benefit foreign facilities, as well as small and first-time entrants to the industry, which are currently disadvantaged by delays in gaining approval for new products – brand or generic – due to a lack of a recent inspection history, which is required before a new product can be approved."
"Mylan urges Congress to pass GDUFA, as unanimously ratified by industry, and update the FDCA. By taking these steps, we can further reduce government and taxpayer health care spending through more timely access to affordable generic medicine; ensure American competitiveness by addressing the unlevel playing field currently faced by U.S. manufacturers through inspection rates that are four times that of foreign competitors; and equip FDA with the authority it needs to carry out its mission of protecting the drug supply in today's highly globalized industry," Bresch's testimony concluded.

Yea or Nay? Immokalee voters to weigh in on master plan - a primer
Immokalee resident Sofia Rodriguez has been telling everyone she knows to vote for the Immokalee Area Master Plan amendment.
"I think Immokalee is overdue," she said. "We need to see some progress on our streets."
Luis Trejo isn't so sure. The owner of Mi Ranchito, an ice-cream parlor on Main Street, said while he would like the downtown to be improved, a provision in the plan amendment that would support a bypass
around Immokalee's downtown would be devastating for him and his business.
"I am concerned about that loop road," he said.
Immokalee residents are being asked to tell the county commissioners how they feel about the Immokalee Area Master Plan amendment when they go to the polls Tuesday.
Voters will be asked: "Do you support the amendments to the Immokalee area master plan and the Immokalee area master plan future land use map as voted on at the Collier County Board of Commissioners' Dec. 13, 2011 meeting?"
Not that their vote counts for much.
The referendum is nonbinding, which means that the vote won't determine whether the amendment will be approved.
Instead, the Collier County commissioners will vote on the amendment Sept. 11. A super majority, or four of five commissioners, will be required to pass the amendment.
When the amendment last came before commissioners, it failed by a vote of 3 to 1. Commissioner Georgia Hiller dissented and Commissioner Tom Henning, who owns property in Immokalee, abstained from voting.
■ Vacant lot Tom Henning's reason not to vote last time around
Commissioners have until Sept. 27 to approve the master plan or start back at the beginning of the process.
But what does that mean for the average Immokalee resident and how will it affect Immokalee's future? As Immokalee Community Redevelopment Agency Executive Director Penny Phillippi said, "One way or another, it is going to affect you."
What is a master plan?
A master plan is a document that lays out a community's goals in terms of development, including land use, recreation and housing. The Immokalee Area Master Plan amendment addresses the urban area of Immokalee.
Why is the master plan amendment needed?
Bob Mulhere of Mulhere & Associates, the consultant firm hired to write the amendment, said the most important change is the flexibility in Immokalee to attract and retain businesses.
Mulhere uses the example of State Road 29, or Main Street, which is considered to be close to reaching a level of service failure, or overuse by too many vehicles. He said if a business in the downtown area wanted to expand or if a new business wanted to open up, business owners would be out of luck.
"You wouldn't be able to do anything with your business because, if the road fails, we have to fix the road before you can (open or expand)," he said.
The two most important reasons the Immokalee Area Master Plan amendment are needed, Mulhere said, are economic development and infrastructure improvement.
"It is designed to position this community to grow within the next 20 to 30 years," he said.
That pleases Rodriguez, who has grandchildren living in Immokalee and would like them to have a vibrant community to live in.
"When our kids graduate, we want them out of the fields. We want something better for the youth," she said. "If there is economic development, maybe there will be a job that will place them in something else."
The Economic Development Council of Collier County estimates the county will need an additional 3,685 acres of new business park lands by 2030. The EDC has been working to attract research clusters to the county to diversify the economy, including health and life science, computer software and services, and distribution.
"Given it's location, access to major roads, connectivity with other parts of the state, availability of developable land, and the airport, Immokalee is a prime location for the new distribution industry that the EDC has identified as being vital to the growth and diversification of Collier County's economy," according to the master plan.
The master plan also calls for the county to promote redevelopment within the downtown area, which sounds good to Anita Garcia, a hairstylist at Estella's Hair Connection, who said a makeover to downtown is long overdue.
"If something were done, maybe the people who go to the (Seminole) casino would feel a little more comfortable about coming into Immokalee, staying for dinner," she said. "I think there are misconceptions about Immokalee. It would bring in out-of-towners and keep us here, you know?"
But Teresa Munoz, an Immokalee resident who owns a building in the 700 block of West Main Street, worries that those improvements will mean no space for her family's auto repair business, Bigg Dawgs.
"I have heard they want to keep the stores here, but they want to move businesses like us to the airport," she said.
Mulhere said there is no "overt or specific attempt" to push certain businesses out of the downtown "urban core." He said if a garage is operating in the urban core and keeps operating after the master plan is amended, nothing will prohibit that use.
"The reality is that, in the case of the Immokalee Urban Core (generally from the Casino down to Main Street and from 1st to 9th streets along Main Street), the Master Plan does anticipate and facilitate change," he wrote in an email. "These changes, including more retail, restaurant and tourist oriented uses, as well as professional office and residential, will occur (and likely will only occur) as changes happen."
Mulhere said other changes include improved sidewalks and bicycle facilities, landscaping improvements and improvements to and marketing of other tourist destinations around Immokalee like Roberts Ranch and Lake Trafford.
What are the goals in the Immokalee master plan amendment?
The Immokalee Area Master Plan amendment lays out eight goals for the community, and each goal has several objectives. Among them, the county will provide parks and recreational facilities including soccer fields, which could be developed using vacant parcels of land. Also, the county would develop Immokalee-specific land development regulations.
Mulhere gives the example of parking requirements in the county's land development code. In Immokalee, there are fewer people with personal vehicles and many people use mass transit, bicycles or walk in the community. So, he said, if Immokalee followed the current land code parking regulations, it could result in added costs to get parking variances that might not be needed.
The master plan would change that, he said.
Why does Immokalee need its own master plan?
The simple answer, Mulhere said, that Immokalee is different.
"Their urban area relies heavily on agriculture, which does not happen in the coastal zone areas," he said. "If you have the same standards in Immokalee that you apply elsewhere, it doesn't make sense."
Immokalee resident Pam Brown questions why the amendment struck the entire current Immokalee Area Master Plan, which has been in effect in the community for years.
"What was wrong with that plan? When you do an amendment, you don't delete the whole plan," she said. "The old master plan was supported by the community and people have invested in Immokalee because of the master plan. Now you are going to take commercial property and convert it to mixed use without getting advice from (the community). They just did it. They also increased the amount of industrial in the community."
Mulhere said it was easier to cross out the entire plan to make it easier to read and understand.
"We came to that consensus decision between us and the staff. Some of the policies are largely still in tact," he said. "But when you have substantive changes, it's often easier just to cross it all out and start fresh. We do it all the time with (planned unit developments)."
What does the amendment say about housing?
One of the amendment's goals is to provide safe and sanitary housing for all residents in the Immokalee urban area. The amendment specifically addresses farmworker housing and encourages local growers to work in partnership with the housing organizations to provide affordable and suitable housing for migrant and seasonal farmworkers.
The amendment would also redevelop targeted areas that might have vacant parcels or substandard structures and says that the county will make a reasonable effort to require that substandard housing be brought into compliance or eliminated.
The master plan amendment also calls for the land development code to be amended within two years of approval to prohibit the placement of new mobile homes within the urban area, unless the property is in a specific district that allows mobile homes to be placed on the property.
Of the 53 mobile home parks in Immokalee, 45 are in areas that are zoned to allow mobile home parks, according to a county study. Of the eight that aren't, six have been determined to be existing mobile home parks in areas that do not allow mobile home parks. Of the two that remain, one requires rezoning and the other, owned by Jerry and Kimberlea Blocker, is inconsistent with the county's growth plan.
A provision that would allow the Blockers' property to be rezoned is not included in the master plan amendment — a section on existing trailer parks was removed by the Immokalee Community Redevelopment citizens' advisory committee — and it is one of the reasons Blocker has objected to the plan, which he said unfairly targets his property.
Sofia Rodriguez said she would like to see the master plan amendment address housing for working people, like her daughter, who want to stay in town, but cannot find adequate, affordable housing to rent.
The plan does call for the county to review its affordable housing incentives to determine if more are needed.
What happens to a property under the master plan amendment? Is it automatically rezoned?
No. Take, for example, the Bullrider, an event center located across Country Road 846 E. from the Immokalee Regional Airport. Should the Bullrider want to turn its current zoning, which is industrial use, to a mixed use — because, for example, owner Magda Ayala would like to put a restaurant in front of the event center — she could go and rezone the property without paying for comprehensive plans to be changed because the future land use map allows the property to be used as either its current zoning or as the mixed use.
"The changes to the Immokalee Area Master Plan create greater allowances for property owners," said Mulhere.
Rodriguez, who owns property near Lake Trafford and Carson roads, said she and her husband were thinking about rezoning the land next to their home several years ago, but were told by the county it would include a $2,500 fee that was nonrefundable.
"We backed off," she said. "Now, under the plan, it is agricultural, but it has a mobile home overlay," meaning a mobile home park could also be located there. She has been approached by someone interested in developing the property.
But Munoz said she asked what could happen to her property if, for example, it burned down and she needed to replace it.
"I was told I could, if I met the setback requirements," she said, referring, the minimum distance a structure must be from the street or other boundaries. "I wouldn't be able to do it — this property goes up to the road."'
Munoz's lot is 0.61 acres, according to the Collier County Property Appraiser's Office, and greater setbacks, could mean a loss of some of the building, she said.
Mulhere said the master plan itself does not affect setbacks or other zoning regulations. Rather, other regulatory documents address things like public parking, sidewalks, landscaping, and the adjacent private property, including setbacks and allowances for redevelopment.
Why does the Immokalee Master Plan amendment support the proposed loop road?
The amendment discusses long-range transportation plans for the community. Among them, the county would support the Florida Department of Transportation's plan to build a bypass route to create direct access from State Road 82 to State Road 29 from the Immokalee Regional Airport and the Florida Tradeport.
The amendment states, "Collier County will coordinate with the Florida Department of Transportation, and with landowners and other stakeholders to identify one or more preferred routes to connect the airport and the future SR 29 Bypass."
But Immokalee resident Pam Brown said a bypass for State Road 29 would "kill Immokalee."
"People will go to a new community to invest in rather than come to a community that is established, but bypassed by the highway," she said.
Trejo said he likes what the master plan amendment has to say, until it comes to that road.
"Everything they want to do, I agree with. They want to put a park across the street. That would be very nice," he said, referring to plans to construct public plazas on either side of Main Street in downtown Immokalee. "We need the upgrades downtown. But that loop road is a concern for me. That wouldn't be good for us."
But Mulhere disagrees.
"We understand there is a delicate balance when adopting an alternative for through-truck traffic," he said. "But the way the plan has been designed and developed will make it more attractive to shop and dine. People will go there as a destination."
What about those public meetings that were held this spring? Are comments included from those meetings?
The Immokalee Community Redevelopment Agency, which has been spearheading the effort to get the master plan amendment approved, held three public meetings in May to discuss the plan and answer questions. Residents also had the opportunity to suggest additions or things that should be removed from the plan.
At least one of those meetings was contentious and Commissioner Jim Coletta, who represents Immokalee, said he wanted to end the infighting and reports of intimidation from both sides. He asked his fellow commissioners in June to place the item on the primary ballot.
That decision made Brown mad.
"When Commissioner (Tom) Henning was here, we were under the impression that they would hold meetings and corrections would be made. This is them telling us what they decided on. The same amendment is back on the straw ballot without our input," he said. "They are not involving the people in the community."
Henning, who voted against putting the master plan on the ballot, argued that the county needed to keep working with the public "to provide a good product for the people of Immokalee.
What happens after the vote?
The Immokalee Area Master Plan amendment ballot question is a straw poll, which means that even if voters support the measure, it doesn't mean the master plan will go forward. Collier County commissioners will have the ultimate say when they vote on the plan Sept. 11. A super majority, or four of five commissioners, will have to vote to approve the plan and send it to the state for approval and adoption.
Rodriguez said she hopes commissioners listen to the Immokalee people.
"We all pay our property taxes. It's only fair that we do get what should be coming to us — sidewalks and streets and everything," she said.

ROCHESTER, Minn. -- A national team of researchers led by scientists at Mayo Clinic has found that a common treatment for primary sclerosing cholangitis, a chronic liver disease, is not helpful for patients, according to a study published this month in the journal Hepatology.
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a disease of the bile ducts. In this case, the term "cholangitis" refers to inflammation of the bile ducts, while "sclerosing" describes the hardening and scarring of the bile ducts that result from chronic inflammation.
"Primary sclerosing cholangitis is a serious liver disease lacking an effective medical therapy," says Keith Lindor, M.D., Mayo Clinic gastroenterologist and the study's lead researcher. "Some studies have shown that the use of ursodeoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring bile acid, may be a potential solution for patients. Our research, however, showed long-term use of this treatment in high dosages is not suitable for patients."
In this six-year, multicenter trial, 150 patients were enrolled in the study to determine the effectiveness of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in treatment of PSC. Seventy-six patients were treated with higher doses (28 to 30 mg/kg/day) of UDCA and 74 patients were given a placebo. Serious adverse events were more common in the UDCA group than the placebo group, which prompted researchers to halt the study. UDCA has been thought to be a possible treatment solution for PSC patients, but this trial indicates that the drug, used at this higher dose, is not helpful.
"All of us were surprised that the higher doses of UDCA did not help; in fact, the risk of developing even more liver problems increased with the higher dosages," says Dr. Li

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 95 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by CBur Fabulous Feel If you like a hearty towel that feels ever so slightly rough on your skin, that absorbs great and looks good then this is it. I have even converted my husband who at first did not think the towels were for him and then had me order more! Don't be shocked with the lint from the dryer, it will lessen and stop. September 6, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by Saintchkn Too Thin! I don't know if it's the addition of the linen that makes these some of the least pleasurable towels I've owned, or just the general thinness of them. They do suck up the water from your skin, but that leaves you with an uncomfortably thin wet towel to finish drying with, not the preferable (to me) thick, deep wicking cotton towel that, even as you're finishing drying off, still has enough dry area to keep you comfortable. I can imagine these will be even more uncomfortable to use when the colder weather arrives. I would exchange them if I could, but I imagine, since they've been laundered and used, that is no longer an option. I will know better next time. June 11, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by ezbjoy extremely disappointed I am extremely disappointed with these towels. I expected better from Eileen Fisher...especially at this price. They are pretty to look at, but that's as far as it goes. The towels are not absorbent. I hoped that after several washings, this would be corrected which has not happened...and to make matters worse, after several washings, they continue to leave lint on everything that I wash them with. They even leave lint on my skin when drying off with them. May 25, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kook Design excellence We're very fussy about our towels. They can't be too small or too large, too thin or too thick. And they have to fold symmetrically, so they look handsome on our towel racks. These fit the bill perfectly. The neutral color (oyster gray) nicely compliment our EF natural linen shower curtain. The linen blend gives them a bit of a loofah effect, which is something we like. If you prefer softer towels, don't choose these. They are quite absorbent and dry quickly. Glad we chose them. March 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Forestwoman Lovely Textured Towels I appreciate these towels more than any I have bought or experienced. Their ribbed texture is just right, exfoliating the skin, but not too much. Of all the Eileen Fisher products I have purchased, these are my favorite. When on sale, they are only slightly exorbitant in price. Thank you, Garnet Hill, for carrying these towels. I look forward to another sale! September 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DiMartino Great towels Very nice towels, with a lot of texture for a good rubdown. The linen adds body to the cotton so they're not limp feeling. The quality is very good, though I have found a couple of pulls - probably unavoidable in a loop weave. I lucked out and got them on sale with no shipping, so they were definitely a good deal for me.

"You're not allowed to just leave the airport,''
reply to post by catfishjoe
Here's a question Catfish. I don't know who you are so from my point of view you're an average American, so in your own opinion how bad have things gotten in the U.S?
reply to post by EA006
But fancy doors scare us Americans. I'm okay with it. Certain measures must be taken for OUR safety. Okay....rant time. You know what really grinds my gears?? These people who complain about airport security. They want safety, safety, safety but when one of them is inconvenienced by a search or one of their high end bottles of shampoo is confiscated its the end of the world. Deal with it!!!
reply to post by catfishjoe
I see. Is that the general consensus then? America has become a "something else"?
My bank just installed them; it searches you for weapons before you can go thru the inner door.

Wiltjer drilled catch and shoot after catch and shoot three, and also showed the ability to attack an occasional closeout into a step back jumper or floater in the lane. The Gonzaga sniper was the best shooter at the camp and he consistently made opposing bigs pay for giving him any time or space to get off his jumper. Wiltjer didn't just operate as a spot-up shooter, however. He's very skilled from mid-post spots, as a he displays solid footwork, a few nifty up fakes, turnaround jumpers, and very good touch on his right handed jump hook. Wiltjer was also very effective in short roll situations as he did a nice job either stopping and popping in mid-range spots, making the right read or using up fakes to get defenders in the air. He's not a big-time athlete or overly long or strong, but the Canadian sharpshooter has a chance to be the best offensive player in the NCAA next year as a senior. Defensively, however, Wiltjer is still a bit of a liability. While he did appear to add some weight to his frame, Wiltjer doesn't play with great toughness on the defensive end, as he struggles defending the post versus stronger bigs. He's not very involved on the defensive glass either, making him a focal point for opposing bigs to attack on the interior. Wiltjer could probably slide by somewhat on the defensive end if he was able to contain the ball in the pick and roll and stay in front of face-up power forwards in the half court, but his lateral quickness leaves much to be desired. He's actually fairly mobile on the offensive end, but his fairly wide hips and struggles consistently getting down into a stance and sliding really hurt him as a perimeter defender. Wiltjer will most likely never be a prolific defender given his physical profile, but his stellar offensive package could make him a strong second round pick option next year when he becomes automatically eligible for the draft. [Read Full Article] Top NBA Draft Prospects in the SEC, Part Three (#6-10) October 28, 2012US Presswire Joe Treutlein One of the highest ranked players in the 2011 recruiting class, Kyle Wiltjer had a modest freshman season, but that's not at all surprising given the immensely talented team he played for. Headed into this season, Wiltjer should have opportunities to significantly increase his role, but he'll still have plenty of competition from Kentucky's perennial top recruiting class. Standing 6'9 with a decent frame, a still developing body, and solid length, Wiltjer is just an average athlete for his size, running the floor awkwardly, but relatively well, and being coordinated in his movements, even if he's lacking in exceptional quickness or explosiveness. On the offensive end, Wiltjer was best known for his strong outside shooting ability heading into his freshman year, and he lived up to that reputation on the floor, shooting a very good 43.2% from three-point range, and taking nearly half of his 4.1 field-goal attempts per game from behind the arc. Wiltjer has excellent form, sporting a high and quick release that benefits from his very good height and length, making him a dangerous threat for spot-up jumpers and especially on pick-and-pops. His strength in this area is ideally suited for the style of play many NBA teams use, and it will be interesting to see how significant a staple of his game this remains as he expands his playing time and role in Lexington. Beyond his outside shooting, Wiltjer performed decently in a number of other areas, but didn't really stand out at one in particular. He rarely operated with the ball from isolation situations, though he did look solid with simple, straight-line dribble-drives on spot-up attempts when he had the opportunity. Wiltjer's face-up game was a selling point of his heading into college, but the jury's still out on whether he can continue to excel with that against the physically gifted opponents he faces in the SEC and beyond. Wiltjer's post-up game was also largely a non-factor his freshman year, though he did look competent on simple hook shots and turnaround jumpers when he had the opportunity. His ability to finish around the basket in general wasn't particularly impressive, as he is a decidedly below-the-rim player, but he still does a decent job and has room for improvement given his skill level and feel for the game. He has developed a nice, uncharacteristic floater in the lane for a player his size, which is also something to watch for going forward. Wiltjer wasn't able to contribute much beyond the scoring game his freshman year, showing some flashes in the passing game but being mostly a non-factor otherwise. His rebounding ability is most concerning, as he averaged an awful 6.0 rebounds per 40 minutes pace adjusted while playing exclusively at the power forward and occasionally center positions throughout the year. While his upside with offensive rebounding is somewhat limited given where he plays on the floor, putting a more concerted effort to improving on the defensive end will be very important for him, as it's difficult to find a single power forward in the last 10 years who was drafted with such poor rebounding numbers. Defensively, Wiltjer shows a good effort level and fundamental base in the post, using his size and length well to contest shots. He is prone to being backed down by stronger opposition, but for the most part holds his own and still has the room to add more weight to his frame and bolster his strength on the block. His perimeter defense is more concerning for a power forward, as he doesn't possess good lateral quickness and can be severely outmatched by face-up oriented power forwards with his extremely high center of gravity and upward stance. He doesn't really have an ideal position on this end of the floor from an NBA perspective, but will still need to maximize his abilities to become as good of an individual defender as he can. Looking forward, Wiltjer strongly excels with one skill in particular, his outside shooting, and that combined with his size gives him a strong foundation to build upon as a prospect. There's good reason to believe based on his pre-college performance that he still has much more to show on the offensive end, and should have opportunities to do so this season. How he expands his game offensively and how he can improve defensively will both play key roles in determining his prospects as a player. [Read Full Article] Nike Hoop Summit Scouting Reports: International Forwards/Big MenApril 15, 2011Walker Beeken After a solid week in Chicago for the McDonald's game, Canadian big man Kyle Wiltjer showed his strengths and weaknesses in Portland for the 2011 Nike Hoop Summit. During the first couple days of practice, he clearly had trouble with the length of fellow World Team members Bismack Biyombo and Lucas Nogueira during practice when working in the post. As the week went on, however, Wiltjer adjusted and moved his game away from the basket and took advantage of his high skill level, scoring efficiently and draining perimeter jumpers during their first scrimmage. Wiltjer is very skilled and fundamentally sound big man, highlighted by his ability to score from the perimeter and in the post. He showed a variety of moves with his back to the basket, utilizing good footwork, and converting hook shots and using fakes leading to counter moves When facing up, he has range out past the 3-point arc, and even showed that he's capable of putting the ball on the floor smoothly and creatively to get to the basket or free himself for jump-shots. Continuing to develop his post game at the college level and learning how to score against longer, more athletic players will be a big key for his future, as he struggled at times during the week and against the USA players in the game on Saturday night. His scoring instincts are outstanding, though, so it might be just a matter of time. While it seems likely that Wiltjer will be able to score effectively at Kentucky, we didn't see much from him as a passer, and it will be interesting to see how he fits playing alongside other talented players and capable scorers. He shot 5-15 in the game at the Hoop Summit and went 2-6 from 3-point range in 23 minutes of action, taking more attempts from the field and from 3-point range than any other player in the game. If he can learn to play a bit more within himself and utilize his teammates better, it will only enhance what we've already seen from him as a scorer. Wiltjer's progress on the defensive end will also be a big factor in his future development, as he lacks the lateral quickness to defend face-up power forwards, and may struggle inside to defend NBA centers. He does seem to have excellent intangibles, though, with a great attitude and terrific work ethic, so he'll be a player we'll be watching more during his career at Kentucky. [Read Full Article] McDonald's All American Game Interviews/Practice Highlights, Part TwoApril 15, 2011 [Read Full Article] 2011 Nike Hoop Summit: International MeasurementsApril 4, 2011Kyle Wiltjer Weight: 224 lbs. Height (w/o shoes): 6'8.25" Height (w/ shoes): 6'9.25" Wingspan: 7'0" Body Fat: 11.3% Standing Reach: 8'10" [Read Full Article] FIBA Americas U-18 Championships: Top International ProspectsJuly 1, 2010Another highly touted member of the 2011 high school class, Kyle Wiltjer displays impressive skills for a 17-year-old. He's an average athlete who runs the court somewhat awkwardly and does not play above the rim, but Wiltjer makes his living by being smarter and more polished than his opponents. He's first and foremost an outstanding shooter, showing a quick release on his jumper and excellent mechanics. He has NBA range as well as the ability to make shots both with his feet set and off the dribble. He also has some back-to-the-basket ability. He has good hands, an effective jump hook and the ability to put the ball down and get around opponents in the paint. While Wiltjer clearly has all the makings of a terrific college player, he's a bit stuck between positions from an NBA perspective, and he does not have great potential as a defender and rebounder. He's already drawing comparisons to Luke Babbittand he'd be wise to take a similar path to the pros. [Read Full Article] © 2015 DraftExpress LLC All rights reserved.

Self check in was really good.
It calls B&B but the breakfast was not included in the price, we had to pay 7 per person for a very basic breakfast, I think they can better the food selection and quality.The kids were not happy with the breakfast so we had to go somewhere else.
service/ location
no hair dryer
The room are smaller than in America, but that is to be expected. The hotel was well maintained and was in a perfect location. The hotel staff was very helpful with all of our requests.
It would have been nice to have 2 room keys, but they would not allow it.
Here's why:

Envy for Men by Gucci
Sexy beast of a scent! Envy is for a night in-- a wild night in. I get lots of amber, cedar, some spice. Envy dries very musky on me. It is refined with a carnal edge. Envy would be great for a night at the clubs, too. I don't like the 80's/Bauhaus/whatever bottle though, foul black glittered cap and green(yeah, envy, I understand)juice. Boo Tom! A matte black monolith-style suits Envy better.

Incredible object caught by Soho, which clearly shows an object, saucer shaped materilise next to the Sun. Object is very well defined and clearly has ridges or grooves around its exterior. It also has a notch in its hull, this reminds me of the Tether UFOs recorded by STS 75. This is not dust, the right side of the object seems to be reflecting the sun rays also, dust is not reflective or as defined as this.ADG Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Alien-Disclosure-Group/189249627773146Follow ADG on Twitter: http://twitter.com/ADG_UK

Jose Cartagena, a Puerto Rican native who had come to Connecticut eight years earlier, was an outsider among the people he drank with and then fought with on the last night of his life four years ago.
Details of that April 2008 night have been emerging at the manslaughter trial of 35-year-old Dirren T. Conyers in Superior Court in Norwich. He is accused of fatally strangling Cartagena after a melee in the Poquonnock Bridge section of Groton on April 13, 2008.
For the past week, prosecutor Christa L. Baker has been calling eyewitnesses to the incident, including, on Wednesday, James "Buddha" Smith, who also is charged with fighting Cartagena that night.
The state is expected to rest its case today after Chief Medical Examiner H. Wayne Carver testifies about the autopsy he performed on Cartagena. Defense attorney Tina Sypek-D'Amato then is expected to call several witnesses.
Conyers, who has been free on a $250,000 bond while his case was pending, sat quietly at the defense table in a dark suit Wednesday as the state called his longtime friends and associates to testify. If convicted of manslaughter, he faces up to 20 years in prison.
Cartagena, 36, whose family said he worked at PCC Structural, a Groton company that makes jet-engine parts, was out that night with Jeannette Johnson, a woman he had met just a few weeks earlier.
According to testimony, they went drinking at Sully's Cafe, a now-defunct neighborhood bar, with a group of friends and relatives, including Conyers, that Johnson had known for decades.
The alcohol was flowing, according to Darryl Sebastian, who hosted a cookout that afternoon with his wife, Stacey at their Miami Court home. Sebastian testified Wednesday that after the cookout, everyone went to Sully's and had a good time. He said they took turns buying rounds and estimated they each put down seven or eight shots before following him back to his house. Like several of the others who testified, Sebastian said he had just met Cartagena that night at Sully's.
Sebastian said he was intoxicated, but not "stumble drunk" when the "commotion" started outside his house. Still, he testified that he didn't see exactly what occurred. He didn't want any trouble and said he yelled out to the participants that they should "take it down the street."
Smith, on the other hand, testified that he was so drunk he doesn't remember what happened between him and Cartagena.
"We started fighting" Smith testified. "I don't even remember how."
Other witnesses have said that the fight started when a man claimed Cartagena made a disrespectful remark to someone's mother.
Smith said somebody pulled him off Cartagena and put him in his sister's car. He attempted to get out and resume fighting, Smith said, but his sister grabbed him and put him in the car again.
Conyers is then accused of placing Cartagena in a choke hold until he stopped breathing.
Johnson said that after Smith and Cartagena were separated, she and Cartagena were about to leave when a group of people, including Conyers, attacked Cartagena as he was trying to get in his car. At one point, according to one eyewitness, Cartagena was on the ground being punched and kicked by up to eight people.
Witnesses said two men carried the victim's limp body to the back seat of Johnson's car. Cartagena's cause of death was determined to be traumatic asphyxiation, or strangulation.

Recent Survey Examines Employer Offered Wellness Programs
Brookfield, Wisconsin (PRWEB) February 6, 2009 -- Watching your weight? So is your employer. A recent survey conducted by the International Foundation of Employee Benefits Plans found that of those organizations that offer wellness programs, 49% offer a weight loss program.
When asked their primary reason for offering a wellness program, the largest proportion of survey respondents, 46%, cite controlling health care costs, followed by 35% who say they want to help workers enjoy better overall physical health.
"Employers want to control health care costs and are implementing wellness programs under the assumption that it is less expensive to prevent rather than treat most medical conditions," said Kelli Kolsrud, Senior Information/Research Specialist at the International Foundation.
"Helping employees maintain a healthy weight is one way employers believe they can control health care costs," said Kolsrud. "Employee weight loss programs have gained popularity in recent years. These programs are often successful because participants have a built in support system. Morning donuts are replaced with fresh fruit, lunch hours are spent walking with colleagues—it's really about building a culture of wellness that encourages success."
Wellness initiatives vary in form and complexity from one employer to another.

Troubleshooting RSS in Campaigns
This feature requires Author user level or higher.
MailChimp offers two ways to share blog and website content in your campaigns using RSS (Really Simple Syndication). RSS-Driven Campaigns can be set up to go out daily, weekly, or monthly, and automatically populate your campaign layout with the last batch of items from your RSS feed. If you want to mix in RSS posts with other content, you can drop a feed into other campaign types.
You may encounter some errors with your RSS feed, content, or merge tags. Check out the list below for common problems.
MailChimp says my URL isn't a valid RSS feed
- Is there a typo?
If the feed URL is misspelled or contains unnecessary spaces, our system will reject the feed.
- Is your feed password protected?
If your blog is password protected, we can't access the content to display it in the campaign. To make sure your feed works as expected, use a public RSS feed with MailChimp.
- Did your feed change?
If you're using the same feed you always have, it's possible that your web administrator moved the feed or made other changes to your website that have interfered with our process.
- Is the feed set up properly?
To validate your RSS feed, MailChimp sends an "are you there?" request to your feed's server. If your server doesn't respond to that request, the feed will fail. Validate your feed or check with your web or server administrator to find out why something isn't working.
My RSS Feed Breaks in my Campaign
- Is there a typo or formatting error in your source code?
Verify that the merge tags you're using are spelled and formatted correctly, and check for extra HTML code that might be disorganized. If there are any HTML tags inside the *|MERGETAG|* text, the entire tag can break.
Incorrect format: Check out our *|RSSFEED:TITLE|* newsletter!
Correct format: Check out our *|RSSFEED:TITLE|* newsletter!
- Does your feed include the content your merge tags are asking for?
Feeds can break when a merge tag in the campaign calls for information that doesn't exist in your RSS feed, particularly if it's a custom-made RSS feed. Try a standard RSS feed, or ask your developer or web administrator what could be wrong.
- Are images appearing as links?
If you are using enclosure tags to display images, you may see a link to where the image is hosted instead. Check with your web administrator to set up your feed to show each item's image using <media:content> RSS tags.
My RSS Feed is Wrong in the Preview Window
- Are there any typos or formatting errors?
Verify that the merge tags you're using are spelled and formatted correctly, and check for extra HTML code that might be out of order. If there are any HTML tags inside the *|MERGETAG|* text, the entire tag can break.
- Are the items on your RSS feed out-of-date?
In your campaign preview, MailChimp only displays RSS items that would be included in the next send. If you don't have any recent items—items posted after your last RSS-Driven Campaign was sent—MailChimp displays the most recent one, to give you an idea of how the layout will look.
- Are your images the wrong size?
Often, blog images are pulled into feeds at a size that's much larger than necessary, which changes the look of your campaign. Talk to your developer or web administrator about changing that image formats on the feed.
I updated my feed, but my RSS-Driven Campaign didn't send.
- Is your feed valid?
MailChimp will warn you if your RSS feed is invalid before you finalize your RSS-Driven Campaign, but if something changes on your website's feed, it could break without warning. Try checking your feed URL with a validator, like the one at w3.org.
- When is your RSS-Driven Campaign scheduled to go out?
If your campaigns are scheduled to go out at daily 10am, but you didn't update your feed until 10:05am today, the campaign won't be triggered until tomorrow at 10am.
- Is the feed paused?
When you navigate to your Campaigns page, you should see status icons next to each campaign. If your campaign was paused for editing but not restarted, you will see the Paused icon.
- Are the timestamps set up correctly?
Make sure your <pubDate> tags are set up and populating correctly. If a <pubDate> is set in another time zone or a day off, MailChimp may not recognize that the items were posted before the next campaign is triggered.
Below is an example of the correct setup for your RSS feed. The <pubDate> is in English.
<channel> <title>MailChimp Blog</title> <link>http://www.mailchimp.com/blog</link> <description>MailChimp, email marketing, and monkeys!</description> <pubDate>Tue, 16 Sep 2010 15:55:58 +0000</pubDate> <generator>http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1</generator> <language>en</language> <item> <title>osCommerce and Joomla Plugins for MailChimp</title> <link>http://www.mailchimp.com/blog/plugins-for-mailchimp/</link> <comments>http://www.mailchimp.com/blog/plugins-for-mailchimp/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 16 Sep 2010 15:55:58 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Ben</dc:creator><br />We pull in the date for any of these tags, in this order: 'pubDate', 'pubdate', 'published', 'created', 'updated', 'date.' If you set your campaign to daily, it will send posts from the last 24 hours before it was triggered; from the last seven days for weekly; and for the last 30 days for monthly.
When you first set up an RSS-Driven Campaign, we'll show the last post as a preview example if you haven't added an article in a few days.
Edit an original RSS-Driven Campaign
If you encounter any of these problems, you may need to edit the original RSS "parent" campaign. To do this, you need to pause the campaign.
