Compliance with a new law can help producers avoid water-permitting hurdles later on.
With a deadline of February 15, 2012, agricultural water users are required to register their water withdrawals with NYSDEC. In New York, this affects farmers withdrawing an average of 100,000 gallons or more of water per day in any 30-day period during the previous year from any combination of groundwater and surface water sources. The reporting fee is waived for agricultural uses
As noted in the PRO-DAIRY Alert and Action Statement, all other farms consuming water for agricultural purposes under this threshold are exempt from reporting. These farms, though, may choose to report use. The initial registration and annual reporting will essentially grandfather a farm's water use. In most situations, a permit will not be required in the future. PRO-DAIRY assumes that permit requirements will be more complex than registering now to protect future water use.
Despite New York's plentiful water supply, Governor Cuomo signed this law into effect August 15, 2011. Usage reporting will provide the NYSDCE with information on how to manage the state's water supply, primarily in anticipation of increased water use for hydrofracking activity.
PRO-DAIRY suggest two categories of farms consider reporting:
1. Those currently using more than 100,000 gallons per day
2. Those who may consume more than this in the future and hope to avoid needing a permit when they begin using water above this threshold
It appears that as long as water withdrawals are agriculturally related and reported annually, incremental growth will not require a permit for existing operations.
On-farm, it can be difficult to track water use. Until a spreadsheet is completed for the 2013 reporting cycle, a farm can use the table below, selecting the scenario that best represents its operation. The PRO-DAIRY Alert provides a more comprehensive guide to using this table.
Additional information, including the PRO-DAIRY Alert and reporting form guidance, can be found by clicking here. The DEC form for reporting can be submitted online or by mail.

If you are planning to purchase your gown or dress online, we urge you to do your homework first. Be sure that the website storefront you are buying from is listed on our store locator. If they are not, they cannot deliver a genuine Alfred Angelo gown.
We have received many calls from brides who purchased online and received a counterfeit dress that was not of the same quality, fit or style they expected. Some have told us their dress arrived too late for their wedding or they received a used gown in the wrong size. In some cases, the customer did not receive anything at all and the website had disappeared along with the money the customer paid.
This is the most important dress you will ever buy. The allure of saving a few dollars is not worth the risk. In fact, if it seems too good to be true, it truly is too good to be true.
The internet is a great place to narrow down styles before you visit a store. But when it comes time to purchase, it has been proven time and time again that the best place to buy is an authorized retailer that the manufacturer recommends. We stand behind the Alfred Angelo Signature Stores and authorized Partner Store retailers listed on our website.

Posts Tagged 'Racerback Top by Bravissimo'
April 11th, 20120
With Easter behind us and spring in the air, the nights not as chilly as they have been, now is a great time to overhaul your nightwear. Are you happy with your PJ drawer? Is it time to throw the old boyfriend's T-shirt away, the nylon nightie that sticks to you when you are hot and those mismatched PJs that you have had since the year 2000?
Nightwear itself has had a bit of an overhaul it seems. Walk around any department store and you won't see any traditional style pyjamas, retailers have realised that us women want more comfort for our money and definitely more style as sleep is too important to compromise on your nightwear. We all have different preferences when it comes to bedtime, some of us like to be covered up & cosy and for some of us less is more when we are tucked up. One thing us Bravissimo ladies all share, is the need for our boobs to be supported whilst we sleep, so you will find super comfortable integral support in every one of our tops or nightdresses. Here is a small selection of the gorgeous nightwear we have on offer.
If you like your Pyjamas, but are not keen on the traditional type of PJ top, try the Racerback Top by Bravissimo, it is available in lemon sherbet, which follows the pastel trend for this spring/summer and it has a soft integral bra back fastening for added support. We have received great reviews already for this one simply because of the comfort it provides. One reviewer said "The top is amazing, I have never worn a PJ top that is so comfortable and really keeps you in place". There are matching PJ Floral Bottoms by Bravissimo too, they have a drawstring waist and side pockets and are available in a lovely ditsy floral print.
If you are not a floral print fan the alternative is our stylish PJ Vest Top by Bravissimo & matching PJ Bottoms. The top features a wirefree integral bra support with back fastening and is available in black or white. It is soft and comortable with some stretch and offers great support while you sleep or relax. You also love the matching PJ Bottoms, you have told us that the fabric is very soft and they are long enough in the leg, for all you taller Bravissimo ladies. If you like to feel glamorous when you are in bed, our Satin Nightdress by Bravissimo is the perfect nightwear. It is available in this pretty blue satin and is contrasted with black lace, it features an integral bra with soft underband support. This nightie has also got its fans, one Bravissimo lady said, "I was so impressed with how it fits, I feel so sexy and pretty when I wear it".
For more inspiration, visit one of our stores or browse online and find out which night time style you are. Sweet Dreams.

Here we are at the end of another month. My, how time flies.
I have had a couple recipe requests I will share with you. One was requested by former "One of Hardin County's Finest Cooks," Suzanne Shircliff, which was a White Chocolate Almond Cake. I hope it resembles the one her family lost.
The second is a Slow Cooker Chocolate Lava Cake. This dessert has become very popular because it is served in many restaurants. The dessert is not that new, but marketing would have you think that. My mom used to make a Hot Fudge Cake which is very similar to the Lava Cake.
Last month, I gave you the Peanut Butter Éclair Cake and promised you the Strawberry version. I have it along with some healthy substitutions.
Remember you always can submit a recipe to share or ask for help in locating a recipe you have lost. Also, if you know a deserving cook, nominate them for "One of Hardin County's Finest Cooks."
Nora Sweat, author of "Mama and Me," is a native of Hardin County and a retired home economics/family and consumer science teacher. She can be reached email@example.com by mail at 408 W. Dixie Ave., Elizabethtown, KY 42701.
White Chocolate Cake
Combine butter and water in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil, over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Add white chocolate, stirring until chocolate melts. Stir in buttermilk, eggs and vanilla; set aside. Combine ½ cup flour and 1 cup nuts, stirring to coat. Set aside.
Combine remaining 3 cups flour, sugar and soda in large bowl; gradually stir in white chocolate mixture. Fold in nut mixture. Batter will be thin. Pour into 3 greased and floured 9-inch cake pans.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes; remove from pan and let cool completely on wire racks.
White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting
Melt chocolate in a heavy sauce pan over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; cool 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Beat cream cheese and butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add chocolate, beating constantly until blended. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until smooth. Stir in vanilla.
Spread frosting between layers and on top and sides of cake. Store cake in refrigerator. Garnish with additional nuts.
Slow Cooker Chocolate Lava Cake
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, eggs and oil; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Transfer to a greased 4-quart slow cooker.
In another bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft set. Spoon over cake batter; sprinkle the chocolate chips. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or until a toothpick inserted in cake portion comes out with moist crumbs. Serve warm.
Source: Taste of Home Magazine, January 2013
Nora's Note: Because you are splurging with the chocolate, why not add a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream?
Strawberry Éclair Cake
Mix pudding mix with milk using a whisk. Beat for about 2 minutes, by hand. Fold in whipped topping; set aside. Layer a 13-by-9 baking dish with one layer of graham crackers. Top with half the pudding mix. Place half the sliced strawberries on top of the pudding. Repeat the layers with grahams, remaining pudding and remaining strawberries. Top with one more layer of grahams.
For the frosting, mix melted baking chocolate with corn syrup. Add vanilla, butter, powdered sugar and milk and whisk thoroughly until smooth. Spread over top.

Nora's note: The owner of this recipe chose to use low-calorie, low-fat options, but regular ingredients should turn out fine. For the frosting, I always use a can of syrup and it works fine and is less trouble.

7:00 PM EST TV: FS Detroit / NBA league Pass Radio: 97.1 The Ticket
I'll go with philly beat us by 8. Anthony Davis, here we go.
We should keep track of standings on how people are doing in their win/loss predictions....although some wise guys like to make "predictions" after the game.
predicting after the game can help raise your correct percentage.........
assuming you pick the winning teams....
Funny.........Rascoe had made two threads initially for the Chicago game. In one thread, I predicted a Bulls victory. In the other, a Pistons victory. He eliminated the one thread where I predicted the Bulls...........A very Rascoe thing to do.
Philly by 6.
Philly by 22.................
Philly by 11.
Spencer Hawes is quite good.
This is their home opener but the Pistons have been playing well so homer call here Pistons win 91-88
Looks like it's too late to vote, but I would have to pick Philly. Rodney might be out with a groin pull....although frozen bananas can work miracles.
I rub frozen bananas on my groin everyday. It feels nice.
Knight and Daye get the starts tonight as Ben out for personal reasons..... shall be interesting.
There's gotta be a joke there somewhere.
Knight Gordon Daye JJ Monroe? No Tay?
No Knight and Daye at Guard... Ben G out for personal reasons.....
If that backcourt outscore their combined BMI we might win. That is if our frontcourt provide some serious scoring.
tonight should be the ushering in of the new era. Pistons win by 7
Ugly end to that game. First off..No, Lawrence, you don't pull BK for Bynum in the 4th. The idea is to let the guy play through it. Bynum didn't exactly deserve it anyway. Decent start, keeping things close enough for the most part with Moose getting it going early. Monroe is awesome. He needs a lot of help though. Quiet game for JJ. Always hustled though, getting to loose balls and playing decent defense. Brandon started off well, quick bucket and assist, going to coast to coast once. His jumpers are still not falling, though it was nice to see him drive the lane a few times. Can't buy a call though. Went down with an ankle sprain late in the second, but looked none the worse for wear. Funny moment: Sixer announcer says Knight has been bottled up by the Sixer D. Goes on to dribble into the lane and score within the same second. Way to go Mr. Announcer. And no, he is NOT Brevin Knight's brother. Austin looks really, really tentative. I lost count of how many open shots he passed up only to pump fake and go for a worse shot. Seems to have been watching too much Tayshaun. Also went down with a sprain at the end of the second, also looked fine after. BG should be back for the next game, so his starting days are all but over for now. Tayshaun, pass the ball man. You have to make decisions faster than that! Greg Monroe was the star of this game, just like the previous four. He was the Pistons' only source of offense for pretty much the whole game, had a great play where he stole the ball and ran it up court for a score by himself. Awesome. He did look frustrated at times though, and I can't blame him for that, this was a frustrating game. Mentioned this in chat: Bynum's defense sucks. It's so bad it's contagious. How many times are you going to leave a shooter open from beyond the arc?! Sixers started to blow it open on Meeks 3's. Left open by Will 'I gotta get mine' Bynum. humph. Pistons hung in there for the first three quarters, but can't buy a bucket, even from point blank range. Everyone was cold outside of Greg, again. The effort just fell off the cliff at the end there, and combined with stagnant offense = blowout. Frustrating, painful game. This team needs a reliable 3 not named Tayshaun. No, Wilkins doesn't count. Solid guy, but not what the team needs for the future.

Blue Hen Womens Golfers To Host First Annual University of Delaware Fall Invitational This Weekend in Rehoboth Beach
REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. -- The University of Delaware women's golf team wraps up its 2013 fall schedule this weekend as the Blue Hens host their first ever tournament with the First Annual Delaware Fall Invitational.
The tournament will be held on the par 71, 5,978-yard Rehoboth Beach Country Club course, featuring two rounds on Saturday beginning at 8:30 a.m. and the final round on Sunday starting at 9 a.m. The nine-team field consists of the Blue Hens along with Brown, Central Connecticut, Delaware State, LIU Brooklyn, Monmouth, Penn, Rollins and Towson.
The invitational will cap a tremendous fall season for the Blue Hens that has seen Delaware capture team titles at the Tignanelli Towson Invitational on Sept. 8-9 and the Rutgers Invitational on Oct. 14-15. Delaware also tied for fifth place at the Princeton Invitational, and last week recorded the lowest three-round total in school history by finishing seventh at the FIU Pat Bradley Invitational.
UD freshman Grace Chua leads the Blue Hens with a 76.00 average round and three top 10 finishes during the fall, while junior Amanda Terzian is second of the team with a 76.10 average and has been named Colonial Athletic Association Women's Golfer of the Week for two consecutive weeks.
Junior Andi Slane is averaging 77.0 shots per round for Delaware, while sophomore Vimonthip Benjasupawan ranks fourth on the squad with a 77.50 average round.

I check all the fuses and replace a couple that were blown, don't even remember what they were for but they were unrelated to the flashers. I also replaced the flasher relay today, still nothing. Multi function switch. The cruise, wipers, brights, all the lights work fine. Just no turn signals/hazards. Luckily I have all back roads to work, but I do get the occasional county boy behind me. - - - Updated - - - Actually now I remember replacing a 10amp fuse with a 20 amp fuse, something to do with trailer lights. So maybe that fried the multi function switch.

Sea-level rise: Where we stand at the start of 2013 — Part 2
This is Part 2 of my thoughts on the state of sea-level research. Here is Part 1.
Sea-level cycles?
A topic that keeps coming up in the literature is the discussion on a (roughly) 60-year cycle in sea level data; a nice recent paper on this is Chambers et al. in GRL (2012). One thing I like about this paper is its careful discussion of the sampling issue of the tide gauges, which means that variability in the tide gauges is not necessarily variability in the true global mean sea level (see Part 1 of this post). I want to add some thoughts on the interpretation of this variability. Consider this graph from my Response to Comments in Science (2007):
Fig. 1: Fifteen-year averages of the global mean temperature (blue, °C, GISS data) and rate of sea level rise (red, cm/year, Church&white data), both detrended.
This graph clearly shows a 60-year-period variation in the Church and White (2006) sea-level data, and it also shows the strong correlation of this with global temperature. (This of course is just another way of looking at the same data already shown in Fig. 3 of Part 1 of this post, and the fact that the data look like this is also the reason why the quadratic acceleration factor is small, as discussed in Part 1 and here). This correlation to me is evidence that the 60-year-variability is real (rather than a sampling artifact), because it suggests a simple physical mechanism for it: sea level tends to rise faster when it is warmer. That is the very idea behind semi-empirical sea-level models. Given the shape of the global temperature curve, semi-empirical models naturally predict this ~60-year "cycle" in global sea level.
But is this a real periodic behaviour, i.e. a climatic oscillation? I don't think so. The variation in global temperature shown above probably is not an oscillation: it is the familiar time evolution of global temperature that can largely be explained by the history of radiative forcing. E.g., the temperature plateau from 1940-1970 (which in the detrended data shown above is a downswing) is explained by aerosol cooling balancing greenhouse warming, while the following upswing is due to the then dominant increase in greenhouse gases.
And if the sea-level history is a result of the temperature evolution, then the apparent sea-level "cycle" is also not an oscillation. At least not if you understand "oscillation" as a periodic behavior caused by a restoring force that drives the system back towards an equilibrium, which it then overshoots, so that the restoring force starts to work the other way, and so on. There is a simpler explanation: it looks like global temperature basically follows the forcing and global sea level follows the temperature, just as you would physically expect.
So my interpretation of these data is: those two 60-year periods seen in the data may look like an oscillation, but they aren't. Which has some consequences for prediction: an oscillation would suggest a coming downturn; if the system simply follows the forcing we'd expect the opposite. In 30 years time we will know for sure!
Are process-based sea level models mature?

Oakland Raiders running back Darren McFadden hasn't played in more than 13 games in any of his four NFL seasons. He has been one of the more injury-prone backs in the NFL. Frankly, head coach Dennis Allen doesn't care; he's going to give the ball to McFadden and let the chips fall where they may.
"I think the thing that you look at is as a running back, I mean, it's a tough position," Allen said in a Wednesday TV interview. "They take some shots, and that's part of football. We can't baby [McFadden]. We can't protect him. We got to go out there and play football and give him an opportunity to carry the ball, and we hope that he's able to stay healthy."
Fantasy Analysis:
As do the rest of us. I've had no fear of selecting McFadden in the middle of the first round in mocks, as high as No. 5 overall. I understand the risk, but it's one taken on a player who could very well be the best at his position if he can play 16 games.

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by Darth Tater, Oct 26, 2009.
I was really hoping they'd get their 27th Championship and now my dream has become a reality.
Once they went up 2-1 and grabbed that first victory in Philly, I knew it was theirs to lose. To bad Ryan Howard pulled an A-Rod and disappeared in this series. A-Rod finally wins with the help of a good lust charm in Kate Hudson. he could have won the MVP if Matsui hadn't knocked in 6 runs tonight. Matsui is a free agent, maybe the Tigers go after him??? Hi paid CC Sabathia didn't win a game, but that didn't mean a thing...I didn't really like him until I saw him on MTV Cribs last week, now I want the Tigers to get him too once his contract runs out..... Notice how Fox showed 20 different camera angles of the last play??? Surprised they didn't have a camera at George Steinbrenners sick bed to see what he did when the last out occurred.
People can throw the whole "they bought the team" argument all they want, but the matter of the fact is that there's more then just picking up some free agents. Before the all star break, the season seemed like a disaster. A-Rod and the steroids news, Wang getting hurt, and Joe Girardi looking clueless at times. But then after it, things started to click and everything came into place. I was scare when the Yankees had to face the LAA since they basically have been the team knocking the Yanks out of the playoffs this decade. But beating them just shows it was destiny. I'm glad as hell, this team gel in one season and was able to win the championship, too. Props to the Philles, but their pitching without Cliff Lee isn't anything to brag about. Nice trade though, he has a 8 mil option. What happen to Ryan Howard? From being so hot to now this. Oh well. I would have given the MVP to A-Rod, but Matsui did a hell of a job tonight. And now I will go and be happy with #27.
Just going to be too much for me tomorrow. Half the school are Met fans and other half Yankee fans. I remember 2000 World Series, it was an unbelievable time. We decorated rooms in Met blue or Yankee blue. My neighborhood is Mets country so it is very quite outside. I will try to muster up something to say nice about the Yankees tomorrow.
Pfft... F the $ team
It's amazing how you can completely miss these unpleasant happenings if you exercise selfdiscipline and put yourself on a media blackout for the duration. I can assure you that I have gone through this entire period of time and not seen one picture on a newspaper, television or magazine of an aspiring or celebrating Yankee. This gives me much satisfaction. I was able to do the same thing when North Carolina won the NCAA most recently and when the Pittsburgh Stealers (I was from Seattle when they really did steal it) won their latest SuperBowl. Watching the Dastardly Spurs win their last Championship was the last time I felt sports related trauma from a disliked rival team's victory. Now...it's as though these events never happened in my life. No suffering.
Why don't you look at the 2009 World Championship roster and tell me one by one where they all really, really came from... Phil Hughes, Joba Chamberlain, Andy Pettitte, Phil Coke, David Robertson, Ramiro Peña, Brett Gardner, Jorge Posada, Melky Cabrera, Alfredo Aceves, Robinson Cano, Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera all came up from the Yankee farm system. Don't underestimate the Yankees farm system.
Hey, LK, I'm curious - why don't you root for the Knicks instead of the Pistons? Or on the flip side - why don't you root for the Tigers instead of the Yankees?
and if they had all been drafted by say the marlins, twins, or a dozen other teams they would have been great for them for 4 years.... then as they would come into there own they would have shot off to NY or Boston because there own team wouldn't have the money to offer them the going rate. Money has so much to do with so many levels to do with things..... Cleveland was a contender only 3-4 years ago with two stud starters... where are those starters now? Hint both started and were studs in the world series. I will give credit to the yankee's they got george out of the picture so now they keep there own young talent, instead of trading there young talent for other teams old talent. But when Free agents they target come up.... how many teams are they actually bidding against? less then 5 normally. While great for Yankee fans its terrible for the game.
Woke up and checked the score first thing. :( Bummer. No repeat, but worse yet, they lost to the Yankees. Oh well. Phillies went to the championship as did the Spartans basketball team and the Red Wings. I guess I can't complain too much.
I wasn't raised up a Knicks nor Tigers fan. I do mildly support Tigers though.
All you have to do to stop the Yankees from winning the World Series is elect a Republican to the White House. The last 8 times the Yankees have won it all, there has been a democrat in the Whote House. The Last time they won with a Republican in the White House was with Eisenhower as president...Before Joe Girardi was even born. When they won in 2000, Clinton was president, but they met George W. Bush for the White house ceremony. In a stunning comment, Bush told Steinbrenner, "Not even the Boss gets to interrupt the President." When George S. wanted to make a point while the president was talking to some players. The players roared with approval, but went into a drought on the field during his tenure.
so thats a for sure platform to run on as a repuplican.. we have to asume there are more yankee haters then lovers in the country... read my lips no titles for the yankee's while I'm in office.
Didn't know where to put this, but it wasn't quite worthy of a new thread. It looks like our own Darth Tater is in the news: Man charged with vomiting on girl at Philadelphia Phillies game - ESPN
Eating at the Silverdome concessions can cause the same result. P. S. That's cold man.

The blob that could invade earth and stamp out plastic water bottles
GRN Reports
The latest water container aiming to replace polluting plastic water bottles takes biodegradability to a new level.
The Ooho! water container can be eaten after the water in it has been drunk.
This gelatinous blob is a water bladder of sorts. Ok, that sounds gross. Think of it as a sphere of water that mimics an egg sack.
Still icky? Consider that this container is formed by brown algae and calcium chloride and will shrink to almost nothing and totally decompose, or can be eaten, making a mockery of the wasteful, persistent plastic bottles that are shamefully ruining oceans and filling up valuable landfill spaces.
Designers Guillaume Couche, Rodrigo Garcia Gonzales, and Pierre Paslier developed their portable water blob by mimicking the spherification that occurs when molecules clump together in a drop of water, held together by a surface tension that develops. They explain it this way:
"Liquid forms drops because the liquid exhibits surface tension, bounded completely or almost completely by free surfaces. "Ooho!" replicates this behavior, encircle the water in a eatable membrane of algae. It is new way of packaging that propose[s] an alternative to the plastic bottle."
The technique of encapsulating the water also follows the culinary technique of spherification (a process that was patented in the 1940s), capturing the water "in a double gelatinous membrane" that the designers say would be simple, hygienic and affordable at about 2 cents per unit. People could even make these pouch/capsules at home, using a recipe, thereby skipping the corporatization of the product, the designers say.
The team's prototype won a 2014 Lexus Design Award in the fall. Now the blob's back, invited to show at the 2014 Milan Design Week, April 8-13.

The Women in Concrete Luncheon and Forum is scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 23, noon to 2 p.m. Cost is $50 for advance registration; $75 after Dec. 20, 2007. Register online now, because this event has sold out for the past two years.


text: Thanks Lulu! It looks like they've updated the website a bit more since I looked in those sections. It does look like she's having a great time. I'm a little bit surprised that there's not more on Katia on the site. I know that this is Ilia's "baby," so to speak, but given how respected she is as a skater in the general skating community (arguably even more so than Ilia), I wonder if it's a purposeful decision on her part to take more of a background role. Then again, I never got the sense that she was as passionate about coaching as Ilia was, so it may be as simple as that.

Hi. I was wonder if it's possible to wear glasses under the bucket...I wear glasses, and cannot see well enough to walk around without them, so I'd kind of have to...Thoughts/comments? Thanks

Hi. I was wonder if it's possible to wear glasses under the bucket...I wear glasses, and cannot see well enough to walk around without them, so I'd kind of have to...Thoughts/comments? Thanks
I wear mine. It is all in how you put your bucket on.
and what bucket you have . some are bigger than others...
I wear glasses myself, and I will say it can hurt you in the end, becuase sometimes your visor may fogg up, but then soon after, your glasses will. I would suggest wearing contacts if you can, but if not, just be careful not to crush your glasses while puting the helmet on.
I wear glasses, and I can fit a DP sized helmet on my head. I put the bucket on "face first" so the glasses won't get stuck by the cheeks.
I wear glasses, but I'm only required to wear them when I fly. I can't get them to fit under my BM :fettrotj helmet or BKBT :jango helmet. It's the size of your head that ends up being a large factor.
And I have a small head :)
I had an older pair of glasses I didn't use anymore, took the arms (is that what they're called?) off and just hot glued the sides onto the visor inside the bucket (A Rubies Jango, comparable to a DP), and I've been fine ever since! Before that it did hurt to bucket-up. If you put your bucket on with your glasses and it kinda hurts, try contacts or maybe look for an old pair and an adhesive? Because it will hurt after 2 hours. Goodluck!
SCBA spectacle kit or do like askywalker98 and mount some old ones inside the helmet. The frames shoudn't be much more than $30, and polycarbonate lenses are cheap.
This is a SCBA spectacle kit incase you haven't seen one:
It's the frame in the middle that can be worn by using an elastic band or can be mounted inside of masks and helmets by using different means. I've worked as an Optician as well as a Firefighter/Paramedic which is why I know this stuff, LOL.
Interesting stuff...I might just have to try them...Warlord...my lenses look like this:
Will I be able to get the SCBA kit in that prescription?
holy **** your blind8) But seriously are those standars glass? you can get polycarbonite lenses ,that are alot thinner
I also wear glasses under my helmet. I made the faceplate removable by attaching it with magnets.
Another solution may be to mount the eyeglass lenses to the helmet visor, and eliminate the ear pieces. When you put on the helmet, the lenses are already in place.
You can switch to polycarb or high index plastic if you like for weight savings but I would recommend it just because those materials are also less likely to fog up vs regular glass. Although regular glass has better optics. Choices, choices.
I wear mine too
I wear eye glasses and really don't think it would be much of a problem under the bucket unless you have LARG glasses. Also installing a fan would help out on the fog issue. There is also a glass/plastic cleaner that you can get to clean your glasses, and paintball maskes to keep them from fogging up that works fairly well. The combination of all these things would help greatly.
I wear glasses, and have a fairly large nose. Or so Im told :). Could'nt you just go to an eyedoctor and get a lense that has your perscription in it?

|Faye, in comic 1562, with her hand on her hip and a jaunty expression on her face. She is wearing a pink shirt that says "PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY".
Body size and shape is a major focal point in the world of Questionable Content; more specifically, Faye's body is of particular concern to pretty much every character heavily involved in the universe. She is explicitly fat, according to herself and others (though the phrase retains much of its stigma in Jacques' use). She is also the central point of romantic and sexual attraction for most lady-loving characters; Marten, Sven, Dora, Tai, and Angus have all repeatedly expressed admiration of her plump pulchritude, and she too seems to like her body as it is. Both Faye and the other fat character, the recently-introduced Marigold, reflect a realistic level of insecurity about their size, but such comments are usually countered - not with denials that they're fat, but with denials that they are anything less than lovely.
Faye's physical health, while not a locus, is not assumed to be terrible because of her fatness. When thin Penelope tricks her and Dora into going to the gym (a problematic move that I read as a reflection of Penelope's proselytizing qualities than of any messages the comic is trying to send), it's suggested more for her mental health rather than her weight - ableism is no better than sizism, but it is different. At the gym, Faye bests skinny Dora in a run-off, subverting the trope that skinny people are automatically healthier than fat people (though there's some ageism later in the strip). Later, Faye eats ice cream, says she doesn't care about losing weigh, and explicitly praises her own size. Fat is not moralized in QC; it's not ascribed to anything in particular except body shape.
Reinforcing the transgressive aspects of size in QC are constant denials that Faye is actually fat. Because she is seen as attractive and because she is on the smaller end of fat, reviewers frequently dismiss or claim not to see her fatness. Faye does tend to fluctuate in size, as most people do, but that's more a signal of the evolution of Jacques' drawing style than of weight loss. As usual, fat is not seen as a descriptive term but rather a negation of any healthy or negative qualities.
But while I generally take a favorable view of size in QC, it is not without its problems. Fat in the QC universe is definitely on the small end of the spectrum; RJ of Riot Nrrd Comics characterized it in our interview as "like the Dove real beauty stuff, where it's good to be chubby! But only chubby enough." For a comic that is often known for its portrayal of diverse body types, the standards of what constitutes attractive is pretty narrow, and not just on the axis of size; this is, as I've discussed in the past, completely about cis people, and it is, as I plan to discuss soon, almost completely about white people.
Jacques' focus on Faye and Marigold's breasts is also a little disconcerting. The size, quality, and loveliness of their mammaries is constantly remarked-upon. Breasts are a constantly sexualized quality in all women, but particularly in fat women, and Jacques falls into a trope by strongly associating Marigold and Faye's beauty with their breast size.
The depiction of fatness in QC has what I believe to be a net positive impact. But what I really like about Jacques' handling of female bodies is the fullness of their functioning. The women in Questionable Content, without exception, talk without shame and positively about their experiences of pooping and farting and burping and menstruating. From the fourth comic on, women use bodily functions as a source of humor and conversational fodder. Most male authors fetishize women's bodily processes, but Jacques handles it with humor and honesty.
Faye is a central figure (once again) in most discussions of the digestive system. She likes to poop and she likes to talk about it. Her frankness about her functions is both familiar - she talks a lot like me and my friends talk about such matters - and strange - few fictional females talk discuss such things. She is also the emblem for frequent farts and burping as communication. While Faye is the most enthusiastic potty mouth, she is far from the only one - Tai, Dora, and Hannelore have all been involved in toilet related gags.
While pooping is not the only function discussed in QC, it is the most prominent, and that brand o function discussion sometimes excludes processes usually identified with women. Pooping and farting so dominate the body humor that periods rarely get any airtime. Periods, of course, are not uniquely feminine and they are not universal to all women. And it is occasionally mentioned in strip dialogue. But the cis women in QC, so given to discussing the messy workings of their body, would likely discuss menstruation a little more often than they do.
Jacques' depiction of women of size as attractive is neither singular nor revolutionary. And his focus on bodily processes may be a little bit juvenile. But in the media of a kyriarchy, there are still stiflingly few representations of fat women as beautiful, and the inner workings of women's bodies are oppressed. Faye, Marigold, and the other women centralized in QC are full-sized and fully-realized, and while this is far from unique, it's still quite rare, and a treat to watch as they develop.
This is the last post in a series on women in Questionable Content. Part one and two are here. I've also written on disability in QC. I'm planning on writing on race and QC at some point in the near future - though not for a couple weeks at least, these are always surprisingly exhausting. (A special welcome to people from the QC forums! Y'all have been my second-biggest link provider of this month, so thanks!) Check back next weekish for a review of my other favorite webcomic, Achewood.

|Yesterday, I had the opportunity to present WebSphere CloudBurst during the IBM Cloud computing for developers virtual event. I provided a brief overview of the appliance along with a demonstration, and then tackled some questions from the 150+ attendees in the audience.
|All of the questions were good ones, and I wish I had time to address them all during the session (I will be answering all questions and posting them online soon). However, one of the questions stood out to me because of its relevance to how IBM uses WebSphere CloudBurst in their own labs. Paraphrasing, the question was "Can you share hardware resources (hypervisor hosts) between WebSphere CloudBurst and other components in your data center?"
|Very good question. The answer is, of course, yes you can. I don't want to sugarcoat it because it does require thought and planning. Ideally, when WebSphere CloudBurst is using a hypervisor host, the appliance is the only thing acting on that host. However, when WebSphere CloudBurst is not using that host, then you can absolutely repurpose it for use by other components in your data center.
|Our WebSphere Test Organization uses WebSphere CloudBurst to aid in their testing of our WebSphere middleware products. The capability to provision hypervisor hosts in and out of the WebSphere CloudBurst cloud is of critical importance to them. Like many organizations, they are resource constrained and must get the most out of their IT investment. They use the Tivoli Provisioning Manager to provision VMware ESX hosts for use by WebSphere CloudBurst, and then they use the WebSphere CloudBurst CLI to define those hypervisors to the appliance and do verification testing of the new resource. This allows them to easily expand and contract the amount of shared infrastructure utilized by WebSphere CloudBurst at any one time, and it means components do not have to statically lock down resources. I have a lot more information to come about our WebSphere Test Organization and their use of WebSphere CloudBurst, but I thought I would give everyone a peek at the kinds of things they do everyday with the appliance.
|If you are interested in what I presented yesterday to the attendees of IBM's Cloud computing for developers event, you can check out their developerWorks Group page. In the Activities section, you will find the charts, demonstration, and a playback if you prefer to listen to the session. As always, I appreciate your feedback and questions.

Sources: Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs pursuing Buehrle
As recently as spring training, Mark Buehrle spoke publicly about the possibility of retirement after the 2011 season. That's not going to happen. In fact, it's possible that the free-agent left-hander will sign a contract that rivals the four-year, $56 million deal he signed in 2007.
Buehrle is young enough to justifiably ask for a deal of that length. He will be 33 at the start of next season — the same age as Cliff Lee, who has four years left on his contract with the Phillies.
Buehrle isn't all that much older than fellow free-agent C.J. Wilson, who turns 31 this week, and both lefties are in high demand. Chicago Cubs officials met with Buehrle's agent on Tuesday — the second time they had done so.
The Yankees and Red Sox, both in dire need of pitching upgrades, are pursuing Buehrle, sources say. Other interested clubs include the White Sox, Blue Jays, Royals, Angels, Marlins, Nationals and Diamondbacks.

Need to get on track for maintenance. Coolant flush by myself or acid flush at dealership? Fuel filter, cabin filter PS fluid etc questions
Alright so my 03 SVT is at 65k and my dads 01 SE 2.0 zetec is at 85k.
I have Wayne (hypnotics) tune for my 03 from a LONG time ago. My car has started surging @ 2k sometimes and it seems to be weather dependent. I have an ORP and burned out both o2 sensors. I replaced both with OE motorcraft's and they only lasted about 5k miles and BOTH burned out again (slow reading I think is the CEL on both) . The surging @ 2k im sure is due to the o2 sensors BUT I ended up not touching them to see how my mileage would turn out. I am getting higher MPG now than I was before! So I am almost reluctant to change out the o2 sensors again as crazy as that sounds.I do still have my stock cat but really like the sound of the ORP. Any opinions on this? I feel its a waste to slap new o2 sensors on if im keeping the ORP.
My dads focus is developing a bit of a rough idle so im hoping doing everything on this list to both cars will solve our problems.
Both have had the coolant changed but that was at around 35-40k so they could both use it.
1) My question is...Should I get a proper Acid flush (at a local place where they actually use the acid they run through the cooling system to clean out the crud) OR should I just do the old fashioned Drain, Run water through system and refill?
2) Both are on stock fuel filters which I know are in desperate need of replacing. I was planning on seafoaming before the new filters go in. Any problems with this?
3) I plan to clean my panel K&N filter and replace my dads paper element and put new copper plugs on the SVT( What should I gap them at? I cant remember for the life of me what I gapped my current coppers at) and the replacements on my dads zetec after the seafoaming.
Should I clean my Maf? I have had a K&N type filter on for quite some time and am now wondering how much filter oil is on the maf. Can I just toss it in a plastic bag with some rubbing alcohol?
4) I know both cars could use a new cabin filter. Where are these located on the cars? Never replaced one before so not sure.
5) Should I replace the PS fluid on both? I am sure with the mileage the fluid looks like chocolate milk by now.
6) How about Tranny fluid? My dad has the A/T zetec so he would probably just get motorcraft fluid. I was thinking some RP Synchromax for the SVT? This is easy enough to change so im sure I will just do it while doing everything else. How hard is the tranny fluid change on an automatic zetec? Just as easy as the getgrag?
Anything im forgetting? Any tips to make life easier while doing the above jobs?
I got "super busy" with college and "stuff" and ended up really lacking on car maintenance. Figure now is as good as any time to get back on track!
Thanks in advance
A lot of questions for a single post......
1. I'd run some radiator cleaner through there for a few hours, flush it with water, and add the anti-freeze. Save you a few bucks...
2. The time to change fuel filters is right after running some fuel system cleaner through the gas. I use BG44K about once a year......
3. Plug gap.....around .050. Doesn't seem to be critical. I use copper NGKs.... Don't clean the MAFS like that. Get some spray cleaner designed for sensors. Auto Zone sells it.
4. The cabin filter is under the passenger side cowl. Not all cars came with one however.....but the housing is there.
5. Most fluids need to be changed when they start to look dark. P/S fluid should look clear/red.
6. Automatic trans fluid should also look clear/red, and not smell burned. That's not an easy change on these cars. It's silly to put anything other than stock fluids in these cars, unless you're racing. You'll gain nothing except bragging rights.
I always recommend a through cleaning of the engine/transmission as a maintenance procedure. You'll be able to see/find problems easier......
Good luck with all that.....
^^^I would add to bluefront's #2 comment, that you should run some Heet through it to get all the water out, then add the fuel cleaner. most fuel cleaner will remove water, but Heet is really good at just that one task so I always add it. I have a friend who sells used cars, lots of them, in AZ and he had a Honda that was missing and says he's going to have his mechanics probably rebuild it if he can't figure out what's wrong. I drove it 100 ft and told him to put Heet in it. Problem solved. True story. Temp and pressure changes, as well as contamination, will cause water to build up in places, mostly in the filter, and bubble up, inhibiting flow.

Earth Week competitions bring out students' creativity
Release Date: 4/26/2012
During the week of April 15-21, University of the Ozarks celebrated the spirit of Earth Day with a series of events, all designed to raise awareness and environmental issues and promote stewardship of the earth. But three of the events were planned with something else in mind - to bring out the creative talents of the students who entered the competitions.
Recycled Art Contest
The first competition, a Recycled Art Contest, was intended to show the creative and sometimes unexpected uses of materials that might normally end up in the trash. Students were asked to take these types of materials and recycle them into a work of art. The results were some innovative and fun creations that were as beautiful as they were unique.
Catalina Chen received first place in the contest with her pickle jar "snow globe."
"I started folding origami cranes a few years ago, when one of my Korean friends taught me how," Chen said. "Ever since, I have been experimenting with different sizes and materials. For my project, I folded the cranes using magazines paper, scrap paper and even a candy wrapper. Then I strung them up with thread and taped them to the lid of the glass jar, making sure that they would hang at different heights. The bottom of the jar I covered with bits and scraps of things that I thought would represent a forest floor. I used tiny gray beads from a broken bracelet, curls of green paper, scraps of ribbon that I made into flowers and pieces of string that I made into monkey-fist knots. Then I screwed the lid into the jar and there it was, a little habitat for my origami cranes. I had a lot of fun making this project!"
"The delicate use of the materials placed into the pickle jar 'snow globe' creates an environment in which these tiny creatures exist," said Tammy Harrington, Ozarks Associate Professor of Art, who was a judge for the contest.
Second place in the contest went to Jessica Root, for her piece which gave an ocean wave effect while Estrella Perez and Stephanie Figueroa earned third place for their T-shirt neckwear piece.
Dr. Sharon Gorman, Walton Professor of Music, was also a judge in this year's Recycled Art contest.
Nature Photography Contest
For the second competition, students pulled out their cameras to snap some beautiful nature photographs. Around 160 photographs were submitted for the competition, which was also judged by Gorman and Harrington. "There were many talented photographers in this year's group and it was exceedingly difficult to narrow the field down to the few prize-winners," Gorman said. But in the end, it was Rafael Luna whose photograph earned first place.
"The picture was taken in Erawan National Park, Thailand," Luna said. The setup was perfect - otherwise known as a Kodak moment." Luna darkened the edges of the photograph to emphasize the butterflies in the center, and adjusted the saturation to make the picture brighter. The result was a colorful, playful, and captivating image.

Second place in the competition went to Melody Cochran for her interesting use of texture and color.

Matt Friant received third place for his close-up photograph of a tiny colorful toad.

Recycled Fashion Show
The third competition can only be described as one of the most unique fashion shows you could ever imagine.
The Recycled Fashion Show was an idea that OzARTs president Elizabeth di Paola brought to the professors in the Ozarks Art department. The fashion show featured twelve one-of-a-kind outfits created from recycled or re-purposed materials, including newspaper, plastic grocery bags, garbage bags, and soda bottles to name just a few.

text: Please save me the BG didn't play any Defense BS, go watch the game again, NY ran him through multiple ball screens everytime down court, NOBODY can stay with their man like that. The bad defense was a result of guys not helping the guy who was helping- period, there's no one person to blame. We were giving up about 31 pts per qtr prior to the 4th, in the 4th we gave up 33 (right on schedule) problem was that we couldn't keep pace with them offensively. T-Mac was awful, Tay was horrid (just abused by Gallo all night long), Daye was scared, CV was being CV and Monroe plays off of other players. NY is a team you beat by scoring (especially at home, which is tough to do) and getting a few stops down the stretch. This would have been a nice game to win but when Gallo has it going and is playing with confidence NY is tough to beat in the garden. Now Mozgov (or whatever his name is) is a different story, allowing him to get off really ticked me off, showed how bad we are defensively on the interior, GM hasn't quite figured out that side of the game yet, but he will, I see him being a Kurt Thomas like defender in the league.

What's New Wednesday: Supersized Edition
In today's installment of "Shut Up and Take My Money" I have not 3, but 4 new picks that are immediately going in my basket. Let the enabling begin!
I'm a tinted moisturizer girl, so I'm always on the lookout for new formulations. This one from OCC comes looks like it has a shade that matches my skintone perfectly, and the bottle in my kit would make me feel like a professional makeup artist. Destined to be a new fave!
Pinch Minimergency® Kit For Her - Blue Snake
Any emergency kit with a top coat and a polish remover is after my own heart. I could just throw this in my bag and never be without the essentials!
Tarte Coral Crush Amazonian Clay Eye & Cheek Palette and Lights, Camera, Flashes™ Statement Mascara
I know I'm cheating by picking two Tarte products instead of just one, but can you blame me? Lights, Camera, Lashes is one of my FAVORITE mascaras, and now there's a new version that gives you more volume (in a flashy gold tube, natch). And that palette? The shades look like they'd match any skintone, and are perfect for creating summer and fall looks.
What are you loving that's new on the site this week? Show & Tell!
See what else is new> http://seph.me/1aR1If0
I am SO excited to see the OCC TM at Sephora!! I've been wanting to try this for quite a while- love that it is paraben and silicone free! Can I give Sephora a gentle nudge to sell their foundation too?
I'd second what CrayzeeRN said, and say THE WHOLE OCC LINE PLEASE!!!
Love the design of the Tarte Palette! So adorable! I just bought a tube of MUFE Matte Velvet to try out but now I want the OCC tinted moisturizer too, I need to win the lottery just to keep up with my growing list of products I'm interested in, eek.
Can someone please tell me what shade is #2 on the 2nd row in the OCC TM pic Candace posted? I really want to try this out, but debating between shades.
So tempted to try out both the Tarte palette & OOC foundations!
I've been meaning to try those OOC lip colors too, haven't gotten around to it.
Hope all the products work wonderfully for you!
I was wondering why Tarte Amazonian Clay Cheek and Eye Palette only comes in one? I mean that is just an aweso0ome idea that you would think they would have at least four different palette combinations?
@Spyski - I believe it's shade Y3!
I'm going to have to try the OCC Tinted Moisturizer especially it being paraben free.
I've been seing some excitement on fbk over this as well, but I want to see it in stores:
And.... I ordered the Tarte palette this morning. Candace, congrats for enabling!
OK so I know I'm cheating a little (give a girl a break) But this is what I'm lovin:
@starletta - woooot! #enablersanonymous
@beautylovingirl - you are totally excused

Eovaldi dominates, Marlins hold off Reds 2-1
CINCINNATI -- Nathan Eovaldi gave his second straight shutdown performance, holding Cincinnati to five hits over eight shutout innings, and Giancarlo Stanton hit his NL-leading 28th homer on Friday night, powering the Miami Marlins to a 2-1 victory.
The Reds fell to 8-13 since the All-Star break, a slide that has them stranded in fourth place in the NL Central.
Eovaldi (6-6) got his first victory since June 23, ending a streak of three losses and four no-decisions. He was coming off what was his best performance of the second half of the season -- seven innings of one-run ball in a 2-1 win over the Reds last Saturday. He didn't get the decision in that one.
He threw 112 pitches, his last one clocked at 99 mph. Eovaldi walked one and struck out six while going eight innings for the second time this season.
Devin Mesoraco doubled home a run in the ninth off Steve Cishek, who then fanned Zack Cozart with two runners aboard to get his 28th save in 31 chances. Todd Frazier had three of Cincinnati's seven hits.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia had a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the sixth inning off Mike Leake (9-10) and Stanton hit a solo shot in the seventh, ending the right-hander's perfect career mark against the Marlins. Leake had been 3-0 in three starts against them with a 1.93 ERA.
Casey McGehee hit his second double of the game with one out in the sixth, and Leake walked Garrett Jones and hit Marcell Ozuna to load the bases for Saltalamacchia's run-scoring fly to center. Stanton homered with two outs in the seventh.
Cincinnati's Brayan Pena singled in the second inning, giving him a 12-game hitting streak that matches his career high. His left hamstring tightened after he reached base, and he left the game as a precaution after the inning.

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
See the history of microbiology in nine scenes of gags, burlesque, drollery and song.
Produced by Active Cultures, the vernacular theatre of Maryland, Petri Dish Circus is a play loosely based off of the classic non fiction novel Microbe Hunters by Paul Henry de Kruif. Much like the original book first published in 1926 that describes 12 historical milestones in science, Active Cultures reenacts "the daring-do of Louis Pasteur in his Parisian lab, the Scotch fortitude of Ronald Ross as he travels through disease-stricken Africa, and the melancholy saga of Walter Reed as he battles Yellow Jack in Cuba" - all with a healthy dose of humor.
In this episode we interview Mary Resing, artistic director for Active Cultures, who talks about Microbe Hunters as inspiration for theatre and her whimsical, and slightly pointed, approach to portraying the women featured in de Kruif's work. Excerpts from the actual performance are also featured.

Green Bay Falls 3-0 to Indiana State
By: Jill Wunrow
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - After a lengthy road trip to Wright StateFriday, the Green Bay (3-7-1, 0-1-1 HL) women's soccer team had a quick turnaround before falling 3-0 to Indiana State (5-7-1) Sunday, Sept. 30 at Aldo Santaga Stadium. The loss was the second consecutive for the Phoenix on its home field.
"I felt we were the better team in the first half, controlling most of the possessions, we just couldn't complete our goal chances," said head coach Trevor Warren. "It's a concern for me and our team."
Indiana State scored its first goal 10 minutes into the contest when Natalie Vaught passed ahead to Aubrie Musselman on the left side of the box. Musselman took the shot, hitting the post before bouncing into the net for the 1-0 advantage.
Despite trailing 1-0 at the half, Green Bay outshot Indiana State 6-5 and 1-3 on corner kicks. Junior Ahna Logan (Roseville, Minn.) and sophomore Hannah Kernen (Belleville, Wis.) each led the Phoenix with two shots.
Two minutes into the second half, Indiana State's Marisa Windisch found Sydney Lovelace in the box. Lovelace caught Green Bay keeper Katy Pilarzyk (Madison, Wis.) off guard for the 2-0 cushion.
Green Bay was outshot 9-5 and 2-0 on corner kicks in the second half. The Sycamores header shot by Taylor Reed in the 76th minute secured the 3-0 win for Indiana State.
Senior Megan Braatz (Waukesha, Wis.) Renee Therrien, Kernen and Logan all finished with two shots each to lead the Phoenix while Jenna Harrington (Madison, Wis.), Chanel Aries (Calgary, Alberta) and Chandra Eigenberger each added one.
Green Bay sophomore goalkeeper Katy Pilarzyk (Madison, Wis.) made two saves in 64 minutes of play while freshman Nastacia Behle (St. Paul, Mo.) made one save in 25 minutes in the net.
NEXT ON THE SCHEDULE: Green Bay returns to Horizon League play Wednesday, Oct. 3 when it travels to Cleveland State (3-8-0, 0-2-0 HL). The Phoenix returns to the confines of Aldo Santaga Stadium Saturday, Oct. 6 when it hosts Youngstown State (6-4-0, 1-0-0 HL) at 1 p.m., kicking off a three-game homestand.

The Cameron School of Business has been awarded as a Premier Chapter for the 2011-2012 year by the Beta Gamma Sigma Society. To receive this ranking, the Cameron School had 87 percent of their students become members. With this recognition brings eligibility to participate in the Beta Gamma Sigma Matching Funds Scholarship Program.
Dr. Carol Sullivan, visiting professor and president of the BGS chapter, said former vice president Ramon Fernandez worked hard to achieve this award and is honored for the group.
"Attaining Premier status in the first year of the UST Beta Gamma Sigma chapter's existence is a great reflection on both the students involved and the University," Sullivan said. "It shows that UST students pursue excellence in their formal academic studies as well as their business organizations. The opportunity to attend the Student Leadership Forum is also a chance to learn outside the classroom, and Elevia Le represented UST well with this endeavor."
Participation in Beta Gamma Sigma allows business students to attend the Student Leadership Forum, which brings together student members from various colleges and universities across the country to improve their leadership skills. Elevia Le, a MBA student, attended the conference in November 2012.
In a Success Story on the UST website, Le said the charisma and the dynamic of the group made the conference great.
"Everyone was really active and wanted to participate," Le said. "Working with the same kind of people who are ambitious with high goals and having all that positivity around you makes you want to be a better person."
In spring 2013, CSB will have their annual ceremony to induct 68 new members into BGS. Last spring, John Montgomery, founder and chairman of Bridgeway Capital Management, Inc., was the guest speaker. Montgomery and the Rev. Donald S. Nesti, CSSp, were the honorary inductees and Professor Lee Carl, associate professor of accounting, was the faculty inductee along with 71 students.
Ramon Fernandez, assistant professor of accounting, current chapter advisor and former vice president of BGS, said Cameron, an AACSB-accredited school, invites its top students to join Beta Gamma Sigma.
"Membership in BGS is the highest recognition that a business student anywhere in the world can receive," he said. "It is a lifetime membership in the world's largest network of business school graduates. The Honors Convocation that we have each spring is the highlight of our academic year as we induct our top students into this prestigious honor society. As chapter advisor, I am very proud that our young chapter has been named a Premier Chapter by having more than an 85 percent acceptance rate. We take BGS very seriously and make every effort to have our qualifying students join."
The faculty sponsors' for 2012-2013 are Sullivan, BGS president, and advisors Fernandez and Dr. Gulfem Bayram, assistant professor of economics, finance and decision information sciences.
BGS is the international honor society serving business programs accredited by AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Membership in Beta Gamma Sigma is the highest recognition a business student anywhere in the world can receive in a business program accredited by AACSB International.

Hello guys,
I am a prospective teacher and I am wondering whether I should go with a TESOL or a CELTA for teaching in Germany. I understand that finding a job will be difficult in Germany, but I am willing to do the leg work and I do speak German as well as English. I am looking for the right course and was wondering which certification I should pursue. I already have my B.A. and so going through a university program is not an option. Any advice you have will be great.

The Legal Network
The Free Software Legal and Licensing Workshop
The Free Software Legal and Licensing Workshop is held every year to allow legal experts to discuss issues and best practices surrounding Free Software licences. This event has become the world's foremost gathering of lawyers, technologists and thought leaders on Free Software legal and licensing topics. With up to three days of talks in an informal and confidential atmosphere, the Workshop advances the state of the art of knowledge on topics ranging from licence compliance to patent management, from project governance to corporate responsibility and even further to the cutting edge issues themselves.
Participation to the Free Software Legal and Licensing Workshop provides legal professionals not only the opportunity to share knowledge and updates on the topics they are working on, but also a chance to meet and get acquainted with each other. These two aspects, combined, foster better licence compliance by spreading best practices. The conference also provides a forum for different professionals to better understand each other, thus reducing the overall friction in the sector.
Participation to the event is open to all Legal Network members. Invitations might be extended to non-members when the FSFE's Legal Team deems their presence useful to the debate. If you think you might qualify, please send an e-mail to email@example.com.
The Free Software Legal and Licensing Workshop 2016
The last Legal Network Conference was held on the 13, 14 and 15 of April 2016, in Barcelona, Spain.
Backed up by the feedback and experience we collected in the past few years, we decided to continue with the trend of addressing important challenges. What we saw recently is that the situation is becoming more and more complex and that it is high time we do something about it. This is why the motto for 2016 was:
Some of the topics we discussed were:
NGOs for Free Software:
Proposals and new ideas on legal structures for Free Software projects
Important non-software cases:
Some cases that were not about software, but can impact how copyright on software is applied by courts
The best tools to support and manage Free Software compliance
Working together:
How collaborating on various issues can make everything simpler
Enforcement and compliance:
Are the efforts towards enforcement making Free Software stronger?1
The Free Software Legal and Licensing Workshop 2015
In 2015 the workshop took place, once again, in Barcelona on 16-17 April, receiving more than 90 experts from all around the world. Instead of rehashing familiar topics, we looked at what problems we will likely encounter in the next five to ten years. Each day we had two topics to spur interesting debate in the room as well as the hallway. As always, the workshop was held under the Chatham House Rule, to encourage an open and unencumbered debate.
In 2015 we held a pre-event on 15 April, called the Open* Day, to explore topics beside software. In particular:
Recent events and cases:
Updates on patent, copyright and data mining cases
Plug-in licence for patents:
Some proposals on how to add patent licensing clauses to older licences.
Research standards and their Free Software implementation:
Exploring the relationship between standards, Free Software and their impact on public administrations and public procurement.
Openness - encouragement or compulsion?
Discussing the advantages and disadvantages of different degrees of openness, considering also different legal tools to enforce it.
EU public sector, information and privacy:
An overview on how those critical aspects of EU legislation interact with each other. How should they be balanced?
During the workshop (16-17 April), we discussed some activities more strictly linked to software:
Greasing up compliance:
An update on the most recent developments and ideas on licence compliance.
Patent friction:
Some proposals and ideas on how to manage patents in Free Software licencing and their consequences.
Junction points:
Exploring new exciting connections with different jurisdictions and different branches of the legal system.
- Two of those discussions have been reported on LWN.net:

This is an excellent choice if you are searching for a yacon syrup to try. Just go easy at first...it can cause gas (due to the FOS). It's sooo good for you, though, a better choice than agave if you have blood sugar issues.
Was this review helpful to you?

Posted by Reviewer1159809 on Jun 25, 2012 | Verified Purchase
Tastes similar to caramel. I use it in homemade chocolate, or I just eat a tea spoon full if I crave something sweet. Yacon Syrup is awesome :)
Works Great

Posted by rejuvenationmd on Jan 20, 2009 | Verified Purchase
I've tried every yacon syrup I can put my hands on and this is my favorite hands down! the flavor is very complex with a full range of fruity and musky flavors much more desirable than molasses. To think it is a PREBIOTIC too! Here is my most popular holiday candy recipe! Stick in the food processor with raw carob and coconut, chill in little paper candy holders! Tastes like fudge only it is a SUPERFOOD full of nutrition!

It would cut to deeply into the Po-Pos break time. Thank god we have dedicated public servants out there protecting us from stale doughnuts. :police:
It's funny you say that Kathy, I passed three construction sites today and six cop cars there LOL
Moots, I agree with every word you typed. That is what makes this a great country and it is also what makes this not so great a country. What we have here is not so much a failure to communicate as much as it is a classic case of institutional inertia. The same problem existed in the old soviet union to such a degree that it caused the whole society to collapse. If you were a plumber lets say, you couldn't get an antibiotic injection for you son until you found a doctor with a leaking faucet. And if you wanted to buy a special present for your 16 year old daughter and you didn't have a critical skill or you didn't work at a collective were you could pilfer a item or items in short supply, well in that case you would be SOL.It is the same don't rock the boat principle behind BlueBee's UAW or Barry's SEIU. It's not that bad yet, but its getting there. As for example.Quote from: beemaster on May 06, 2013, 09:43:31 PMIt's funny you say that Kathy, I passed three construction sites today and six cop cars there LOL[quote moots] Extra duty, NO DOUBT! :-D

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I am from France and I am 24 which means that I won't grow up anymore
I looked at some boards today and a 147cm is right at the bottom of my chin (I heard that I should choose a board between my chin and my nose).
I really don't know what to choose because I am scared that the 147cm will be too small and that I will get bored easily with it.
I am going to look at different shops tomorrow after work and maybe I will get more help but thanks for the reply
Just curious where you are orignally from. Not that it matters. Also how old are you?
At that height and size boots I'm assuming you're gonna be growing more in the next year or so. I personally am not familiar with the board type but you're still gonna be learning this season. If you're set on park riding then look for that twin tip and get the 147 and start from there. I don't think it'll be too small for someone your height and weight.
Who knows how you might want the board to feel as you progress. You might want a totally different setup for next season. You can always sell this board and use the $$ towards what you want.
|Nobody to help me with this ?!
First board and some questions
Good morning everyone,
I am coming to you because I am going to buy my first board and I have some questions for you. I spent some time on the Internet to find answer, I also went to a store to have some info but I am not quite satisfied by what I've heard. Maybe you will be more helpful
First off, I used to ski since I am 4 years old but I stopped at the age of 14. I moved in the Us last year and I always wanted to try snowboarding. So, for my first winter here, I tried it and completely loved it.
As you know, renting equipment is expensive and that's why I want to have my own.
My snowboarding experience:
- I have snowboard maybe 5 days in my life (early this year)
- I wen down all of the hills (Of course I fell a couple of times)
General experience:
- I've always been good at sports
- I learn pretty quickly (even my friends were suprised when I start snowboarding)
- I like experiencing new cool stuff
About me:
- I am a young man
- 5"5 tall
- weight: 130 lbs
- Shoe size: 6
I think now you have a lot of information about me so let's talk about what I would like:
- snowboard easy to use
- be able to try some tricks :Park and later on, Half-pipe. If I need another board for the half-pipe, then it will wait I got more experience to go there
- I don't really care for speed right now, I want to be able to control the board easily to progress quickly, then I will work on the speed
The board I was Aiming:
- K2 Brigade
The problem:
- It comes only on: 147cm, 152cm & more
I wanted a short board but I heard that 147cm might be too short for me and that a 150cm will fit me better.
In a shop a guy told me that the Burton TWC 150cm was a good fit for my needs but I was not very satisfied by his explanation. then, I looked online and the Burton is the directionnal board when the K2 is a twin board.
I think that a twin board will be best for me. I hope I've been clear and that you will have all of the info to help me buying my first board.
Have a nice day,
