great design and optics, poor fit
By Camera Guy
from Los Angeles
About Me Casual Dresser
Comments about Ltede 1040 Tortoise:
I got these with progressive lenses. The optics are perfect. Design-wise, I love them. The problem is in the fit. I'm not sure if they're too small or if the temple pieces aren't long enough or what, but they're constantly sliding down my face. I'm adjusting them constantly.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great frames for narrow heads
By rocket29
from Toledo, OH
I love the look of these but they are too narrow for my head. The frames themselves are stylish and very good quality. Just be sure to check that they will fit. Luckily coastal has great customer service!
Good overal
By Mat
from Fort collins , CO
Overall quite good, just dissapointed to find a -creaking sound- and notice that its fit oddly over more left lense, which is much thinner than my right, so i assume its just kind of how it is, but im worried it will shorten the pairs lifespan
Love these specs!
By Jonmarc the Chef
from Texas
I use my glasses for everyday seeing. They are perfect fit for my face. No scratches that could have easily already been on them. (Knock on wood) I get compliments daily. Such a wonderful pair.

Husbandry Information
Housing Requirements
Diet Requirements
- In the wild, ring-necked doves eat seeds and fruit
- In captivity, they are fed finch seed or pigeon mix with greens
- Although peanuts are a food source in the wild for this species, they can cause choking in captive doves. Feed peanuts, peas and corn kernels with caution.
Veterinary Concerns
Notes on Enrichment & Training
Programmatic Information
Tips on Presentation
- At Happy Hollow Zoo, our elderly dove is our only touchable bird species. This is a fantastic benefit for early learners programs, for whom tactile learning is so important.
Tips on Handling
- Wings may be trimmed to reduce escape potential.
- Once acclimated, doves will step up and perch readily on a finger or palm.
Potential Messaging
- Ring-necked doves are a more appropriate pet bird species than many parrots, especially as regards potential lifespan, enrichment requirements, etc.
Acquisition Information
Comments from the Rating System
- Philadelphia Zoo: Easy to handle if properly trained to perch on cue; not intimidating for novice handlers, but not very impressive to an audience.
Natural History Information
Range and HabitatThis is a domestic species. The wild counterpart is found widely in Southern and Eastern Africa, in bush, savannah, and farmlands.
Physical DescriptionThere are many different color variations of ring-necked doves, including the "peach" version that was developed in the USA. In all, there are 29 different recognized colors (i.e., they adhere to breed standards.) The wild type color is brownish-gray with a circle of black feathers around the neck.
These doves are about 12 inches from head to tail, and they weigh between 150 and 200 grams.
Life CycleTwo eggs are laid per clutch and incubated for about 14 days. The young doves will stay in the nest for about 4 weeks. Like other pigeons, females will produce a "milk" from their crops, which can be used to feed the young. Adults can lay a new clutch of eggs every six weeks.
Ring-necked doves can start breeding as early as 6 months of age. Lifespan in the wild is unknown, but these doves can live up to 10 to 15 years in captivity.
Happy Hollow Zoo has a 17 year old specimen!
Monomorphic species, can be sexed via DNA test on a pulled feather, e.g., http://www.avianbiotech.com/
BehaviorMales tend to be quarrelsome with other males. They love to bathe and are very clean birds.
Threats and Conservation StatusLarge populations of ring-necked doves exist in captivity, and the wild relatives have a very large range. This species is not considered to be endangered or threatened at this time. Common predators include birds of prey, small carnivores, and people.
Did you know…
- Ring-necked doves have been domesticated for 2000 to 3000 years, according to Dr. Wilmer J. Miller of Iowa State University. They were kept in cages since biblical times as pets and for magicians' acts.
- Another record of early domestication was by the ancient Romans. As larger cities and towns developed, townspeople needed access to live animals for ritual sacrifices. A cote of doves could be kept on the roof of a house, they bred readily, and made less mess than cow or sheep slaughter!
- Other common names are Barbary or cape turtledove.
- The class of muscles that allows them to be able to "coo" is one of the fastest known contracting muscles. This class of muscles is usually found in high speed tissue, such as a rattlesnake's tail.
- Unlike most other bird species, doves can drink water without having to tilt their heads up.

Hi I am a 54 yrs old male runner who has been a serious runner for the last 6 years. I have done 8 marathons and a bunch of halfs. I have over the last year a problem with my right leg and foot which I thought was a hamstring pull and got PT for and kept running. PT never did figure way was wrong with my leg and so just stop going to them.
After my last marathon in Oct 2008 I decide to stop running for 4-5 weeks off to see if I could help heal my leg like so many people suggested and I ignored until then because I ran about 30sec slower even in the marathon. My pace has slowed by 30 -50 sec and since the lay-off I have put about 10 lbs back on which has been a pain to get off. I am training for a April marathon.
1. Is typical to loss performance after a lay off for a boomer?
2. The leg still hurts and I have been stretching and working out to see if it a over use problem. Any suggestion for hamstrings?
3. So I know lose the weight and I will but what should I expect for performance? I have a personal goal of break the 3:30 wall in a marathon. Is getting older lessing my chances of getting to my goal.
Thanks in advance
A loss of performance after 4-5 is typical for any age runner. Might be more pronounced for us old ***** I guess depending on fitness level to begin with.
Get to another PT or a doctor or your never going to solve your pain issues.

'Malcolm and Teresa' has trouble finding heart of pair's connection
In early 1968, conservative British journalist Malcolm Muggeridge was asked to conduct a televised interview of an Albanian nun. He had never heard of her. The world did not yet know her. It soon would: Her name was Mother Teresa.
That's the setup in Cathal Gallagher's "Malcolm and Teresa," which is receiving its regional premiere at Christian-based Acacia Theatre Company in Mequon, in a production that opened Friday night under Elaine Rewolinski's direction. »Read Full Article

The NFL is all about peaking at the right time. Just look at the Green Bay Packers or New York Giants last year, or the Packers the year before that for that matter.
Controlling when a team peaks is often beyond anyone's control—there are many factors that play into it—but that doesn't mean it is impossible to see it happening.
Here are three teams that have already hit their high-water mark.
No. 1: Houston Texans
The Houston Texans have earned this No. 1 ranking, but they won't hold it for much longer. First comes this unfortunate bit of news, which the Texans tweeted out:
Kubiak: LB Brian Cushing has a torn ACL, is out for yr. Will have surgery when swelling goes down.— Houston Texans (@HoustonTexans) October 9, 2012
Cushing's absence will be huge. He controls the defense from his middle linebacker position in the pass and run game. He leads this team in tackles, and he already recorded an interception this season.
Also, while the Texans are 5-0, they have not faced the most brutal of schedules—they have yet to play a team that currently has a winning record.
They now will face the Packers and Ravens in their next two games while the defense adapts to life without Cushing. This does not bode well for the Texans.
I'm not calling for a collapse here. Just a slight slide from their perch atop the rankings.
No. 6: Arizona Cardinals
I am a believer in this Cardinals team. Their defense is going to keep them in every game, and I expect them to be battling for the playoffs at the season's end.
However, their holes will finally start to take a toll. This team is 31st in rushing yards, and they can't shake the running-back injury bug. This is going to put even more pressure on their quarterbacks who do not inspire a lot of confidence in the first place.
The Cardinals will play the Bills next week, but then they have a fear-inducing stretch of games that finds them playing the Vikings, 49ers, Packers, Falcons and Rams, the team they just lost to.
This is a rough stretch for a team that has to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find a running back.
No. 11 Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks are a solid 3-2, but two of those wins were pure luck. There was the Monday Night debacle against the Packers, and last week, Cam Newton had an open receiver on 4th-and-goal with time running out that would have gave his team the lead, and he threw it half the distance he needed to.
I don't want to be too hard on Seattle. They have an excellent defense, and they put themselves in a position to win those games, but this offense is not going to get it done over the long haul.
Rookie quarterback Russell Wilson is having a hard time getting the passing offense going, which is understandable because he is working with one of the worst wide receiver corps in the league.
They'll travel to take on the Patriots next week, and then host the 49ers the following week. I don't see them winning either.

I may find this answer as I work through the documentation (which I'm doing as fast as I can), but haven't yet so I thought I'd ask. After looking at all the modules and Admin options, I'm curious whether the 'store front' display is the only way to show the products and have customers click to get to the purchase page.
Since I'm going to be adding items slowly, for now I'd like to be able to place a 'buy now' button on the individual page I build to describe the item. But the only shortcode I've seen so far is [WP_online_store], which puts everything on there. Are there other shortcodes for linking to the purchase pages?

A conversation less than a year ago about West Virginia's Sesquicentennial, between playwrights R.J.

And, it's not just any play, it's a well written and entertaining musical that engaged the audience throughout the performance.

Makin' Friends With Ryan Miller
Ryan Miller, a recent transplant to Vermont, needs new friends. During his ten years in New York, Miller, a film composer and lead singer of Guster had amassed quite a collection of vibrantly creative, inspirational, entrepreneurial, gigantic personalities. Simple math told Miller he'd be hard pressed to find the concentration of these people, his tribespeople, in the sparsely populated Green Mountain State, and his first few years here have been tough.
Fortunately, Miller has come to understand that this great state has its own brand of what he affectionately calls "high functioning weirdos," and they're often functioning on an even higher level than their urban counterparts. The artists, craftspeople and entrepreneurs who choose to live in Vermont and pursue unconventional, creative or otherwise interesting lives "can almost be weirder here," says Miller. "You don't have to monetize everything here the way you do in a city like New York so you're additionally unencumbered." And so it is with great excitement and promise that Miller decided to find these incredible people all over Vermont, and to ask them to be his friend.
Latest - Travel with Ryan to Landgrove to meet Marguerite Dibble, the president of gametheory!

Lawsuit-Proof the Walk
You don't want anyone's memories of the visit to include bruises or broken bones, so make sure there's no ice for people to slip on. But chemical de-icers damage masonry, plants, and shoes, and fireplace ashes or kitty litter ends up being tracked into the house. To clear the walk in a hurry, follow This Old House landscape contractor Roger Cook's advice and gently scrape off whatever ice you can with a long-handled ice chipper. Then, loosen the stubborn bits by pouring a bucket of hot water on them. Just make sure to dry up the water with a towel so it doesn't turn into a new layer of ice.

I'm using version 1.2.7 of this plugin (which is AWESOME, by the way), but I'm having trouble when I try to re-order the icons.
I'm using a custom set, and the icons are displaying on the page, just not in the order that I want them to. I go to Settings page for the Widget, and it lets me drag them around to reorder, but after I hit "save changes" and reload the webpage, the icons still do not show up in the correct order.
Any idea what might be causing it?

I am seeing host records on my internal DNS server that have public IPs. Should that be allowed? They are not for any servers we access.
Normally the internal server is configure to proxy to the Internet for external sites. It is normal for the internal server to provide public IPs. I assume you have determined these sites are being served up by requesting the site. In that case what you see is normal.
If your are using BIND, you can log all the requests that are being handled. This can show who is requesting which name, and how the request was answered. Secure your server so that it will not respond to queries from the Internet.

Kings Go Forth On 'World Cafe: Next'
Kings Go Forth On 'World Cafe: Next'
Set List
"1,000 Songs"
"High on Your Love"
Co-founded by bassist Andy Noble and vocalist Black Wolf, Kings Go Forth is a 10-piece band near the forefront of the soul revival. Hailing from Milwaukee, Wis., the group draws much of its inspiration from classic R&B artists of the '60s and '70s. With an ensemble that's sonically diverse (three lead vocalists, a horn duo and congas, in addition to a full rhythm section) and also spanning a broad range of ages and ethnicities, Kings Go Forth has created a groove all its own.
Noble, a Milwaukee native and old-school soul aficionado, was introduced to a variety of musical styles through his parents from an early age — at age 5, he was already tagging along with his family to live shows. Eventually, his love for music led him to open a record store, where in 2004 he met Black Wolf, a talented vocalist and songwriter who'd been performing in and around the Milwaukee area since the 1970s. Soon thereafter, Kings Go Forth was born.
The band's new album, The Outsiders Are Back, showcases a fun, roots-heavy sound. Hear two songs from the disc on this edition of World Cafe: Next.

Thousands of people find themselves involved in a car accident each year. Whether at fault or not, the ordeal can be stressful, heartbreaking and financially challenging. However, a camera-equipped smart phone may be used as a tool to relieve some of the stress of dealing with the insurance and legal aspects of your traffic accident.
Your first priority when involved in an accident is to verify the safety of all drivers and passengers involved. Check that everyone in your car is safe, then check to see if people in the other car need emergency medical assistance. Next, call the police to report the accident.
While waiting for the police to arrive, a cellular phone camera can be used to snap photographs of the crash scene. These pictures could prove vital in recovering financial damages and determining legal accountability. Photograph damage to the vehicles involved, as well as traffic signaling devices and the area around the collision.
Many smart phones also feature a voice recorder–this application can prove indispensable in recording specific details which may be of great importance later. Record your verbal recollection of the events leading up to, during and after the accident. Many details of an accident can be very difficult to recall days after a crash.
Remember to contact an attorney before discussing details of your accident with an insurance company. A car accident lawyer works for you and protects your interests, ensuring the best possible legal and financial outcome for you. The experienced attorneys at Canan Law work diligently to secure a just and favorable result for every client.

1) compile OpenMPI and add openmpi/bin/ to the top of your PATH and add openmpi/lib/ to the top of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. this is in my .cshrc so they are always set whenever i log in.
2) download the ParaView source (paraview.org)
3) edit CMakeLists.txt in the ParaView source directory to specify the MPI C and C++ compilers:
SET(CMAKE_C_COMPILER mpicc)
SET(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER mpicxx)
4) make a ParaView build directory and cd to the new dir (ParaView requires out-of-source builds)
5) configure the ParaView make using cmake as follows:
cmake -DVTK_USE_MPI:BOOL=ON \
-DVTK_MPIRUN_EXE:FILEPATH=/path_to_openmpi1.0.2/bin/mpirun \
6) once the configure is complete (lots of text dumped to the screen), you should be able to make the binaries (from within the paraview build directory):
Now you can run ParaView in parallel mode using:
mpiexec -n NP /path_to_paraview_build/bin/./paraview
where NP = desired number of processes.
happy parallel volume rendering...

both compiler wrappers are on the top of my PATH. also, as far as PATH goes, yes, i am certain that the mpiexec and paraview binaries are the ones i think they are ( i.e. when I WHICH MPIEXEC it only shows the one i compiled locally, etc).
anyone have any insight on this? for the record, when i compile paraview with MPI support using mpich2 (1.0.3), and then do mpiexec calling that version of paraview, i get the expected behavior ( i.e. one paraview window running with parallel support).

As an experiment, I am trying to replicate the Sprite functionality of AS3 in JavaScript without using the canvas object. I thought that using absolutely positioned divs and manipulating their css properties would be a no brainer, however in Chrome the animation introduces strange artifacts (seemingly because of redraw issues).
I can not find what I am doing wrong? The code is, in fact, quite simple. Here are some points that I tried which didn't help:
- Using relatively positioned divs (as opposed to absolutely positioned.)
- Using margins (as opposed to top & left properties.)
- Appending objects directly to body (as opposed to appending to a container div.)
- Using setTimeout (as opposed to requestAnimationFrame)
You can see a simplified fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/BVJYJ/2/
EDIT: http://jsfiddle.net/BVJYJ/4/
And here you can see the artifacts on my browser:
This may be a bug in my setup (Windows 7 64 bit, Chrome 21.0.1180.75). No other browsers exhibit this behaviour. I'd greatly appreciate if someone could comment on what I could be doing wrong. I'm more curious about the reason behind this rather than a workaround btw. That said, every explanation is welcome. :)
EDIT: There was a bug in the sample code which resulted in using setTimeout even when I was under the impression that RAF was used. requestAnimationFrame solves the issue with basic transformation but the issue remains with CSS transformations such as rotation.

John Buchan (1875-1940) and the First World War: A Scot's Career in Imperial Britain
Date: December 1999
Creator: Mann, Georgia A.
Description: This dissertation examines the political career of Scottish-born John Buchan (1875-1940) who, through the avenue of the British Empire, formed political alliances that enabled him to enter into the power circles of the British government. Buchan's involvement in governmental service is illustrative of the political and financial advantages Scots sought in Imperial service. Sources include Buchan's published works, collections of correspondence, personal papers, and diaries in the holdings of the National Library of Scotland, Edinburgh. Letters and other documents pertaining to Buchan's life and career are also available in the Beaverbrook papers, Lloyd George papers, and Strachey papers at the House of Lords Record Office, London, and in the Liddle Hart Collection at King's College, London. Documents concerning Buchan's association with the War Cabinet, the Foreign Office, and the Department of Information are among those preserved at the Public Record Office, London. References to Buchan's association with the British Expeditionary Force in France are included in the holdings of the Intelligence Corps Museum, Ashford, Kent. The study is arranged chronologically, and discusses Buchan's Scottish heritage, his education, his assignment on Lord Alfred Milner's staff in South Africa, and his appointment as Director of the Department of Information during World War ...

The Reformation-Era Church Courts of England: A Study of the Acta of the Archidiaconal and Consistory Court at Chester, 1540-1542
Date: May 2000
Creator: Mitchener, Donald Keith
Description: Much work has been done over the last fifty years in the study of the English ecclesiastical courts. One court that thus far has escaped much significant scholarly attention, however, is the one located in Chester, England. The author analyzes the acta of that court in order to determine what types of cases were being heard during the years 1540-42. His analysis shows that the Chester court did not deviate significantly from the general legal and theological structure and function of Tudor church courts of the period.

Victims of Hope: Explaining Jewish Behavior in the Treblinka, Sobibór and Birkenau Extermination Camps
Date: August 2000
Creator: Motl, Kevin C.
Description: I analyze the behavior of Jews imprisoned in the Treblinka, Sobibór, and Birkenau extermination camps in order to illustrate a systematic process of deception and psychological conditioning, which the Nazis employed during World War II to preclude Jewish resistance to the Final Solution. In Chapter I, I present resistance historiography as it has developed since the end of the war. In Chapter II, I delineate my own argument on Jewish behavior during the Final Solution, limiting my definition of resistance and the applicability of my thesis to behavior in the extermination camp, or closed, environment. In Chapters III, IV, and V, I present a detailed narrative of the Treblinka, Sobibór, and Birkenau revolts using secondary sources and selected survivor testimony. Finally, in Chapter VI, I isolate select parts of the previous narratives and apply my argument to demonstrate its validity as an explanation for Jewish behavior.

The Apologist Tradition: A Transitional Period in Southern Proslavery Thought, 1831-1845
Date: December 2000
Creator: Austin, Clara
Description: Early antebellum defenders of slavery acknowledged that slavery created problems for southern society. They contended, however, that slave society was better and more natural than other forms of social organization. Thomas R. Dew, William Harper, and James Henry Hammond each expressed a social philosophy in which slavery had a crucial role in preserving social order. They argued from the basis of social organicism, the idea that society should have an elite that controlled the masses. For all three men, slavery represented a system of order that helped balance the dangers of democracy. Significantly, however, all three men recognized that the slave system was not perfect, and despite their defense of slavery, argued that it was a human institution and therefore corruptible.

Sarah T. Hughes: Her Influence in Texas Politics
Date: December 2000
Creator: Justiss, Charnita Spring
Description: Conservative males traditionally dominated Texas politics. In 1930, however, Sarah T. Hughes, a liberal woman from Maryland, began a spectacular career in state politics despite obstacles because of her gender and progressive ideas. First elected to the Texas Legislature in 1930, she remained active in politics for the next fifty years. Hard work, intelligence, and ability allowed her to form solid friendships with Texas's most powerful politicians. She became the first woman in Texas to hold a district judgeship, the first woman from Texas appointed to the federal bench, and the only woman to swear in a U.S. president. Hughes profoundly influenced state politics, challenging the long-standing conservative male domination. She helped to create a more diverse political field that today encompasses different ideologies and both genders.

The Break-up of the Confederate Trans-Mississippi Army, 1865
Date: May 2001
Creator: Clampitt, Brad R.
Description: Unlike other Confederate armies at the conclusion of the Civil War, General Edmund Kirby Smith's Trans-Mississippi Army disbanded, often without orders, rather than surrender formally. Despite entreaties from military and civilian leaders to fight on, for Confederate soldiers west of the Mississippi River, the surrender of armies led by Generals Robert E. Lee and Joseph E. Johnston ended the war. After a significant decline in morale and discipline throughout the spring of 1865, soldiers of the Confederate Trans-Mississippi Department chose to break-up and return home. As compensation for months of unpaid service, soldiers seized both public and private property. Civilians joined the soldiers to create disorder that swept many Texas communities until the arrival of Federal troops in late June.

Texas Annexation and the Presidential Election of 1844 in the Richmond, Virginia, and New Orleans, Louisiana, Newspaper
Date: December 2001
Creator: Short, Steven W.
Description: This thesis examines the issue of Texas annexation from the viewpoints of two southern cities: Richmond, Virginia, and New Orleans, Louisiana. It looks primarily at four major newspapers, two in each city: the Richmond Enquirer and the Richmond Whig; and the New Orleans Times-Picayune and the New Orleans Whig. These four newspapers were examined thoroughly from January 1844 to July 1845. In addition to the above newspapers, the Congressional Globe and national voting patterns on Texas annexation were examined. Analysis of the editorial articles in the above newspapers offers the best possibility of understanding public sentiment toward Texas annexation and the presidential election of 1844. The evidence examined in this study indicates that Texas annexation became a decisive issue in the presidential election of 1844. It also shows that, although the press and elements within both Democratic and Whig parties were aware that the slavery question was intricately linked to the Texas annexation issue, slavery and sectional politics were not the primary factors influencing annexation. Ultimately, fundamental concerns regarding western expansion in general, especially for the Whigs, and political party loyalty proved the decisive factors in the presidential election of 1844 and Texas annexation. The evidence gathered in this study ...

Burying the War Hatchet: Spanish-Comanche Relations in Colonial Texas, 1743-1821
Date: May 2002
Creator: Lipscomb, Carol A.
Description: This dissertation provides a history of Spanish-Comanche relations during the era of Spanish Texas. The study is based on research in archival documents, some newly discovered. Chapter 1 presents an overview of events that brought both people to the land that Spaniards named Texas. The remaining chapters provide a detailed account of Spanish-Comanche interaction from first contact until the end of Spanish rule in 1821. Although it is generally written that Spaniards first met Comanches at San Antonio de Béxar in 1743, a careful examination of Spanish documents indicates that Spaniards heard rumors of Comanches in Texas in the 1740s, but their first meeting did not occur until the early 1750s. From that first encounter until the close of the Spanish era, Spanish authorities instituted a number of different policies in their efforts to coexist peacefully with the Comanche nation. The author explores each of those policies, how the Comanches reacted to those policies, and the impact of that diplomacy on both cultures. Spaniards and Comanches negotiated a peace treaty in 1785, and that treaty remained in effect, with varying degrees of success, for the duration of Spanish rule. Leaders on both sides were committed to maintaining that peace, although ...

The Crater of Diamonds: A History of the Pike County, Arkansas, Diamond Field, 1906-1972
Date: May 2002
Creator: Henderson, John C.
Description: The first diamond mine in North America was discovered in 1906 when John W. Huddleston found two diamonds on his farm just south of Murfreesboro in Pike County, Arkansas. Experts soon confirmed that the diamond-bearing formation on which Huddleston made his discovery was the second largest of its kind and represented 25 percent of all known diamond-bearing areas in the world. Discovery of the field generated nearly a half century of speculative activity by men trying to demonstrate and exploit its commercial viability. The field, however, lacked the necessary richness for successful commercial ventures, and mining was eventually replaced in the early 1950s by tourist attractions that operated successfully until 1972. At that time the State of Arkansas purchased the field and converted it to a state park. Thus this work tell the rich and complicated story of America'a once and only diamond field, analyzes the reasons for the repeated failures of efforts to make it commercially viable, and explains how it eventually succeeded as a tourist venture.

By Sgt. Fay Conroy, 21st TSC Public AffairsJune 1, 2010
ROMAGNE-SOUS-MONTFAUCON, France - Despite the gray skies and heavy rain, Soldiers from the 21st Theater Sustainment Command's Special Troops Battalion traveled to the Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery and Memorial May 30 to take part in a Memorial Day ceremony here.
The 21st STB provided a ceremonial firing detail, an honor platoon, and a color guard for the ceremony.
Located near the village of Romagne-sous-Montfaucon, the cemetery is the final resting place for 14, 246 Soldiers, most of whom lost their lives during the Meuse-Argonne offensive of World War I. The cemetery has the largest number of American military dead in Europe and covers more than 130 acres.
"Here, at Meuse-Argonne, every headstone and memorial plaque testifies to the enormous sacrifices our Nations have paid in the defense of these values more than 90 years ago," said Maj. Gen. Patricia E. McQuistion, the commanding general of the 21st TSC, who gave the memorial address at the ceremony.
"As an American and a Soldier, I am indebted to all who came here today and any day of the year to pay tribute to those who have given their lives for the ideals and values we cherish," she said.
The ceremony concluded with a wreath laying ceremony, the playing of taps and a ceremonious volley of rounds from the firing detail.
"It was overwhelming, especially in the beginning," said Spc. Shannelle Santiago, a postal clerk with Human Resources Sustainment Center-Europe, 21st TSC. "When they started playing taps that's when it registered that these Soldiers did give their lives and that they still have family members out there who are still mourning them even though they can't be here today to celebrate Memorial Day with them."
For Sgt. 1st Class Darrell Cornelius, the 21st STB training noncommissioned officer in charge, the ability to celebrate Memorial Day in the presence of so many fallen Soldiers was one he said he will not forget.
"It was absolutely breathtaking. I really felt like I was on sacred ground," he said of his first trip to the cemetery three weeks before the ceremony. "It really felt special to be a part of this whole event."
After the ceremony, the 21st TSC Soldiers marched into town accompanied by a formation of French Soldiers who also took part in the event. French citizens waving American and French flags lined the parade route to cheer the troops. A reception was held at the end of the parade route to thank the participants.
The Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery and Memorial is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. year round, except Jan. 1 and Dec. 25. More information can be found at the Meuse-Argonne's official site at http://www.abmc.gov/cemeteries/cemeteries/ma.php.

Well my DTs have subsided with the start of my son's youth football conditioning this week, so that is good. The thing that I'm torn about is that they are going to run a hurry-up spread on offense. I understand that this is the offense the local H.S. is currently using and they want to try and get the kids learning it so by the time they get to H.S. they'll have a good foundation to work with, but they're 11-13 years old. I'm thinking they should work on the basics. The huddle gives them time to make sure they know the assignments. I don't know, I guess I'll see how it pans out. The coaches are well regarded so for now I won't panic, but do you MGoPeople think a no huddle spread is they way to go at this age? Discuss, I'm in a grind at work so I'll check back later, thanks.

Reporter: Blackhawks "had a tremendous amount of sex during the regular season" [VIDEO]
Collins on Twitter: "I meant to say success. My apologies, got a little tongue tied."
:::: UPDATE :::: Susannah Collins, reporter who said Blackhawks "had a tremendous amount of sex," is fired [VIDEOS]
While previewing the first game of the Blackhawks-Wild playoff series from outside Chicago's locker room, CSN reporter Susannah Collins apparently had sex on the mind, or at least floating through her subconscious.
SEE ALSO: Cal Clutterbuck accidentally punched a ref twice last night [VIDEO]
That's because her attempt to say "The Blackhawks had a tremendous amount of success during the regular season" came out of her mouth as follows: "The Blackhawks had a tremendous amount of sex this regular season." Oops!
Here's the footage:
In fairness to Collins, since the 'Hawks led the NHL with 36 wins in 48 regular season games, we don't doubt players enjoyed their share of coitus, or whatever they're into. Though on the other hand, perhaps all those wins demonstrates they stayed focused on what was happening on the ice, not on what was going on in their bedrooms.
In either event, just before the puck was dropped in what turned out to be a 2-1 overtime win for the Blackhawks, Collins promised to be careful pronouncing the name of one of the Wild's key players:
Don't worry, I'll do my best to avoid saying "Clutterbuck" tonight. Can't have a other slip-up! #thatdidntgothewayiplanned
-- Susannah Collins (@susannahcollins) May 1, 2013
Though ignoring Clutterbuck turned out to be impossible -- he scored the Wild's only goal of the game -- it appears Collins managed to say it without another major gaffe. Congrats to her!

A dozen social activists, including a radical lawmaker, found themselves unexpectedly shut out of their Facebook accounts for up to six hours yesterday, days before the sensitive anniversary of the June 4 incident.
While some of the blocked activists were sceptical that there was a direct link between the account suspension and Monday's 23rd anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown in Beijing, they called on the world's most popular social media company to explain its behaviour.
Some suggested that a concerted effort by a number of users to press the 'report' button to complain about posts on the activists' pages could have triggered the company's systems to automatically suspend their accounts.
Jo Lee Wai-yee, an assistant to People Power lawmaker Wong Yuk-man, was kicked out of her Facebook account while logged in, moments after sharing a picture poking fun at outgoing Chief Executive Donald Tsang Yam-kuen, which had been posted by another of those whose accounts were later blocked.
'I left a comment on my wall, saying: 'He [Tsang] could only be corrupt for 30 [more] days',' Lee said. 'Facebook did not give me a reason [for deactivation]. This is terrible. I believe June 4 could be a secondary reason.'
Willis Ho Kit-wang, a vice-president of Lingnan University's student union, said she had been blocked after uploading a photograph of a hunger strike by students protesting at the June 4 crackdown.
The names of other blocked users quickly circulated, among them lawmaker 'Long Hair' Leung Kwok-hung, of the League of Social Democrats. Leung said he did not know whether he had been blocked but would check his account.
Political cartoonist Cuson Lo, one of those blocked, said Facebook told him he had been accused of using a false identity.
Benson Tsang, another of those blacklisted, said he believed there was an organised effort to use the report function to block users.
'I have no party affiliation, no background, no power, but I was 'killed' in this Facebook action,' he wrote. 'I'm just a person who could not have been more ordinary.'
A Hong Kong spokeswoman for Facebook did not respond to a request for comment last night.
Meanwhile, 16 pan-democrat lawmakers held a small candlelight vigil outside the Legislative Council last night after they finished the historical marathon debate over the by-election bill.
They said the long time on the bill had made it impossible this year to raise a motion asking Beijing to vindicate those who died 23 years ago.

6 Secrets of Cooking With Wine
You know those bottles of wine you picked up because they were on sale, and now you're wondering what you are going to do with them? I've got your answer: Cook and bake with the wine. You probably wouldn't want to cook with a special bottle of wine but those wild-card bottles collecting dust in the pantry -- why not?
When I think of wine, I think of a great fat substitute in recipes. I'm probably unusual in this regard, but I actually use wine more often in cooking than I do as a beverage with dinner.
When you take some of the fat out of dishes, you usually need to add another ingredient to replace the lost moisture. Here are some examples of how wine can do just that:
- Instead of sauteing veggies in heaps of butter or oil, you can saute them in a smaller amount of oil plus some wine for flavor and moisture.
- Instead of making a marinade with 1/2 cup of oil, decrease the oil to 1/4 cup and add 1/4 cup wine.
- Instead of adding 3/4 cup of oil to a cake mix recipe, add 3/4 cup of white or dessert wine to the batter.
Here are my favorite ways to use wine in light cooking:
- Wine helps cook and add flavor to fish. Deep-fried fish dipped in tartar sauce, albeit tasty, defeats the nutritional purpose of eating fish. One way to add flavor and moisture to fish without adding fat is to cook it with wine. You can add wine to the pan while the fish is simmering, poach the fish over a saucepan of boiling wine, or drizzle fish with a tablespoon or two of wine and bake it in a foil package.
- Wine is a great ingredient in marinades. Wine is basically an acid ingredient (which helps tenderize the outside of the meat) and it has a lot of flavor. The wine-based marinade helps keep meat, poultry, or seafood moist while it cooks, too.
- Wine can help cook and simmer foods. Add wine to dishes you're cooking in a skillet on the stove, in a slow cooker, or in the oven. Simmered along with the food, it adds flavor and moisture to whatever dish you're making.
- Wine can be used in baking, too! For certain types of cakes, using wine or sherry in place of some of the fat not only lightens up the cake but adds complimentary flavors.

I have a mouse that I absolutely love (been using them for years), A4Tech WOP-35. It has dual scrollers and 5 buttons, 3 of the buttons are programmable. I use them at work and at home.
At work I am using Windows 7 Enterprise (32 bit), at home I am using Windows 7 Professional (64 bit).
The drivers installed easily on my machine at work. Unfortunately, they will not install on my computer at home. When I double click on the Setup.exe, it asks me if I want to install it, and of course I click on "Yes", but nothing happens. When I say nothing happens, I mean nothing happens; it appears that it doesn't even try to install. The same thing happens when I right click on the setup.exe and select run as administrator.
How can I get around this? I am guessing it is because I am running the 64 bit version of Windows.
