Hookup is a snap with this heavy-duty, swiveling tow bar. The durable ball-in-socket joint provides superior flex so that you can easily connect, even on unlevel ground, and the self-aligning arms telescope to automatically center and lock in place.
Tow bars are notoriously difficult to connect and disconnect, especially on uneven surfaces. Rigid tow bars have arms that are essentially locked in place so you have to drive your towed vehicle into the exact position necessary for hookup. But with the Aventa LX, you can connect from the approximate towing position, even on unlevel ground. The unique ball-in-socket joint allows the tow bar arms to swivel and pivot just enough to compensate for a slight height difference. And because it's a spherical joint as opposed to the traditional, bolt-together flex joint, there will be less wear and tear on your tow bar over time.
The convenient, self-centering arms help to make hookup a snap as well. Once you have connected the tow bar to the base plates on your towed vehicle, simply drive your RV forward until the tow bar arms fully extend and lock in place.
Blue Ox has defeated the age-old problem of binding by creating a tow bar that is just as easy to release as it is to hook up. Simply press down the locking handles on the tow bar arms until the internal latch disengages. By releasing some of the static pressure from your tow bar you can flex its arms just enough to make disconnecting from the base plates a snap, even when it's out of level with your RV.
Blue Ox base plates on your vehicle are equipped with two tabs each that connect to the brackets on the ends of the tow bar arms. These brackets are referred to as "lugs." The unique triple-lug design of the Aventa LX tow bar creates a tighter, more stable connection by surrounding both base plate tabs. The result is a sturdy, reinforced connection that is stronger and more rigid for a safer, more dependable towing experience.
Hooking up the Aventa LX to your base plates is as simple as it is secure. Just insert the triple-lug end of the tow bar arm into the base plate so that the center lug is positioned between the two tabs of the base plate. Then insert the 1/2" keeper pin through the lugs and tabs and secure it at the end with the included quick pin.
The Aventa LX can be easily stored on your RV when it is not in use. After disconnecting the tow bar from your towed vehicle, push the arms of the tow bar together so that they are side by side. You can then fold them up toward the RV and insert the integrated hold-up bolt into place on the hitch connector. Then pivot the arms down so that they are held firmly in place alongside the RV, parallel to its bumper.

Today, we're going to be reviewing part number BX7445. This is the Blue Ox Aventa LX Tow bar rated at 10,000. One of the first things I want to go over is just . As you can see, it's in a nice stored position. This tow bar is able to be stored in a very simple process. It's a nice secure storage option along the motor home.
The arms are going to fold up together just like you see them here. They're going to rotate and secure in place horizontally with integrated hold up bolt, which is secured right here inside the groove. To bring it out into a tow-ready or hook-up position, all we have to do is bring our arms up. We have to make sure that the pin is aligned. So, if you swing them to the other side, you can kind of line up that pin with the slot.
You can stow this on either side. Once you have that pin right in the center, you can actually bring the arms forward, and then, you can get ready to move it to a connected or a connection position. The tow bar is going to let you tow your vehicle safely and securely behind your motor home. It is going to come with a set of safety cable. Those are going to be included. The tow bar portion is just going to slide into the trailer hitch receiver.
It's going to fit a 2" x 2" trailer hitch receiver. It also comes with a 5/8" pin and clip that way you can secure it inside your hitch. It's going to feature the 360-degree swivel feature that's going to make it easy to connect even on unlevel terrain. That's a great advantage to have in your favor. The joint is going to allow the arms to pivot for both hook-up and storage.
The ball and socket joint is going to last a lot longer and create less wear than your traditional bolt together flex joint. It's also going to feature a self-aligning design. Once you have it hooked up to the base plate on the towed vehicle, all you have to do is drive forward, and it's going to lock the arms in place. I'll kind of show you how that works right now. If you have all this hooked up, you drive forward, and it's going to extend the arm and lock it in place. To disengage that out position, all you have to do is push in this handle, and it's going to allow the arm to go back into a stow-ready position. That's a great feature to have as well. It's going to feature the rubber boots that are going to protect the telescoping arms from dirt and grime. The portion that's going to connect to your vehicle is going to feature a triple lug connection. It's got the sturdy brackets on the end of each tow bar arm to provide reinforced connection to the base plates. Each arm is going to attach and detach from the base plate with an easy to use and easy to access pin. You can see how those removed are connected to the base plate. Reinsert your pin and then secure it with a clip on the other side. Then again, it does have that simple secure storage along the motor home, which we went over earlier. The entire unit is made out of a durable steel construction. It's going to provide a very long life for you. It's going to stand up really well against rust and corrosion. The safety cables have that nice protector around the cable portion. It's going to provide a long life. They also have on the inside here of the cable that's exposed, a nice little all steel guard, that way the cable doesn't run or rub along the hook there. The hooks have the nice cable catch or keeper on there. Once you have it installed and hooked into place, that keeper is going to keep it from disconnecting from your application. The tow bar is going to have a capacity of 10,000 pounds. It is designed for a 2" x 2" trailer hitch receivers. It is designed to fit Blue Ox base plates, but it can be adapted for use with RoadMaster base plates with a RoadMaster base plate to Blue Ox and Demco tow bar adapter, part number RM-033, and that is going to be sold separately. The entire unit is going to weigh about 42 pounds. It's pretty simple to install. It's not super heavy, that way you can adjust it as needed. If you ever need to disengage it or remove it from your R, you can easily do so by removing the 5/8" pin and clip from the hitch and pulling it out. I will say that it is a little bit easier to install and uninstall when it is up in a stowed position. Once you have that all set, you should be all set up and ready to hit the road. That's going to do it for our review of part number BX7445. This is the Blue Ox Adventa LX Tow Bar rated at 10,000 pounds. .

So far after 1000 miles I still have a F-350 tailgating me :-) Easy to hook up now that initial kinks worked out. Too much paint was applied and the base plate and tow bar wouldn't mate without a bit of sweat and few luv taps with a hammer. Now all is good. Thanks etrailer.com 225784

I just used these tow bars to pull my 2005 GMC Sierra behind my motor home on a 1,200 mile trip. They worked great! They make it very easy to couple the two vehicles together even on unlevel ground. Disconnecting them is also very easy. I would definitely recommend them. 45728

I am very happy with the BlueOx tow bar. It is easy to install. Removing it is a little more difficult due to tension on the pins, that sometimes occurs. The steel toe bar is heavy. That must be why an aluminum one is available. 345794

Zetsuen No Tempest
The story revolves around Mahiro Fuwa, a teenager whose family was mysteriously murdered one year before and his friend Yoshino Takigawa. Mahiro is contacted by Hakase Kusaribe, the leader of the Kusaribe clan who was left stranded on an unknown desert island by her followers, and agrees to help Hakase in exchange of her help to find out the culprit for the death of his family. Upon learning of his friend's intentions, Yoshino joins him on his quest to stand against the Kusaribe clan who intends to awake the "Tree of Zetsuen" whose power can bring ruin to the entire world.
Several dialogues and plot elements in Zetsuen no Tempest pay homage to the works of William Shakespeare.

The Chicago Blackhawks' historic point streak may be over, but at least one thing one thing remains unchanged from the moment the season began: Patrick Kane is still incredible. The Hawks' MVP put on another show in Chicago's 8-1 rout over Dallas, scoring this beauty of a spin-o-rama goal:
Best part of the clip: it's so disorienting that the scorekeepers put it up as a Dallas goal at first. Either that or they'd just stopped caring by then.
Sure, you could be upset that Kane's still giving his all at the tail end of a complete shellacking. Or you could revel in it, since Kane letting his foot off the gas means we don't get to see this beauty.
Sometimes, Kane pulls off difficult moves so effortlessly you'd think you were watching a video game. This is one of those occasions, as he coasts into the Dallas end, spins, and fires a backhand over Richard Bachman's shoulder in one gorgeous, fluid motion. In a video game, this is easy. You hit the spin button, then you hit the shoot button. In real life, it's considerably more difficult. But not for Kane, who effortlessly gives us one of the prettiest goals of the year.

Armstrong Christmas Ensemble to benefit local family
KITTANNING — Jolena Reefer and her mom, Susie, have been big supporters of the annual Armstrong Christmas Ensemble. But this year the ensemble will be playing its holiday concert to support them.
Every year the ensemble performs a free concert to help benefit someone in the area, said director Mary Gibbons.
The Reefers, who have been hit hard by illness, were chosen to be the recipients of this year's benefit.
"We're very honored and grateful," said Jolena.
Jolena, 29, of Kittanning, was diagnosed with late stage Lyme disease and has been sick since 2010.
By Thanksgiving Day of last year, she said she had lost weight, lost her memory, couldn't drive, couldn't work and was confined to a wheelchair. Since receiving treatment she has started to slowly regain her strength. And although she has not yet been able to return to work, she just recently started driving again.
However, just as Jolena's health started to improve, Susie's began to decline.
In September, Susie was diagnosed with stage-four lung cancer – caused not from smoking, but from a genetic mutation.
Jolena said her mom is doing a clinical trial with UPMC, taking pills designed to slow the spread of the disease.
"Her biggest hurdle is her energy," said Jolena, adding that her mom is resting up and hopes to attend the concert on Thursday.
Friends and family have been there through everything and have been very supportive, said Jolena.
And so have area businesses and agencies who have stepped up to provide gift baskets to be raffled off at the benefit concert.
"We're grateful to church groups, to the (Richard Snyder) YMCA, to F & M Bank and to the Area Agency on Aging," said Jolena.
Jolena, who has been playing the piano since she was 5, said she loves the idea of the Christmas Ensemble.
She said music has been an emotional outlet for her throughout her life. Playing piano was one of the few things she was still able to do during her illness.
Jolena, who plays piano at Furnace Run Chapel, graduated from Kittanning High School where she was a member of the school band.
"A lot of my friends are playing in the concert," she said.
Gibbons said the original brainstorm for the ensemble came from Kittanning Firemen's Band members Nick and Mike Totos and Tyler Woodside.
The ensemble is made up of members of the Kittanning Firemen's Band, the Armstrong Concert Band, Gibbons Big Band, the Butler Symphony and members of the Kittanning, Ford City and West Shamokin high school bands.
Jolena said she likes the fact that musicians of all ages get to play music together.
"It's a really good opportunity for teens to play with adults in a more serious ensemble," she said.
Gibbons said the ensemble is made up of approximately 80 musicians and includes students, music teachers and retired music teachers.
"It has truly become a community affair and a wonderful outpouring," said Gibbons.

ORCOQUIZA INDIANS. The Orcoquiza (Arkokisa, Akankisa, Acconcesawas, Horcaquisaes) Indians, an Attacapan group, lived north of Galveston Bay along the Trinity and Colorado rivers and were from time to time associated with the Bidai and Aranama Indians and other groups. These Indians were a source of considerable trouble to the Spanish authorities in the eighteenth century, when a presidio and mission were built for them at the village called El Orcoquisac. According to John Sibley, the Orcoquizas in the 1760s numbered about eighty men. In 1805 their principal town was west of the Colorado 200 miles southwest of Nacogdoches.

Griddle and grill maintenance is important from a safety standpoint, since grease build up represents a significant fire hazard. As a result, foodservice staff and service agents should perform a number of regular tasks to keep these units in safe operating condition.
Proper cleaning and maintenance is extremely important with both grills and griddles. Not only will this prolong the service life, but also ensure safe operation.
There are a number of tasks that should be performed on a regular basis.
It's important to season griddles as soon as they are installed, or food will stick to the surface.
In addition, griddles flues should be regularly checked for debris. This usually requires griddles to be pulled out from the wall. With new griddles, it is worth checking the flue every two weeks to monitor grease accumulation in this area, which can be a fire hazard.

Westport Mini Maker Faire promotes mega burst of creativity
Updated 6:44 am, Tuesday, April 23, 2013
The key word is creation, and the Westport Public Library is "making" plenty of opportunities for creativity to soar.
Ask Spencer Serels, 13, a seventh-grader at Coleytown Middle School, who is one of the most knowledgeable volunteer ambassadors at the library's Maker Space. Serels was looking for a project to fulfill the community-service component of his bar mitzvah, but his introduction to 3-D printing at the Maker Space opened a whole new world of interests.
"I looked at it for one day and I knew what I wanted to do," said Serels, who not only operates the computer-driven printers, but has "printed" several creations of his own design, including a "Westport Library" sign.
The two 3-D printers are one feature in the Maker Space that will be front and center April 27 at the library's second Westport Mini Maker Faire. The event will feature a variety of exhibitions, hands-on workshops and demonstrations in a variety of sciences, arts and crafts, engineering areas, robotics, and more.
"There's over 100 `makes,' and there'll be a broad range of makers' activities," said Bill Derry, the library's assistant director for innovation and user experience.
Derry emphasized that the so-called Maker Movement involves more than just 3-D printers people can see in operation at the library. "It's a movement to get people reinventing and rethinking how things work," he said.
"It's all about learning," Derry added. "That's where the library is changing. It's lifelong learning," with the library supporting that learning network in new and broader ways.
Serels took time recently to demonstrate how the 3-D printer works, beginning with a spool of colored plastic cord attached at the back of the device.
"At 220, 230 degrees Celsius, it melts the plastic and extrudes it," he said, referring to the tiny nozzle that moves with the versatility of a printer's ink dispenser.
Using one of two programs -- MakerWare or ReplicatorG -- Serels then selects an item that he wants to replicate. In this case, he planned to print out an iPhone cover, which will be made in two separate pieces and then coupled together.
"You have to generate a G-code," he said, "and that's what the printer reads."
Once the computer is through processing the data, Serels cleans the printer's platform -- the space where the item will be made -- with acetone. "If any human oils get onto the platform, it wouldn't print," he said.
The plate itself heats to 110 degrees Celsius.
As Serels prepares to start the creation process, a group of library visitors pauses outside the perimeter of the Maker Space area to examine creations the printers have made -- about 100 small items of all varieties and colors, such as chess pieces, signs, figures and more.
"Boy, you guys have made a lot of new stuff!" one woman exclaimed.
Serels starts the printer. But when the fine line of plastic seems to go haywire, Serels quickly shuts it off.
"These printers are very temperamental," he said, "and what you have to do is make sure the plate is level."
After minor adjusting, he tries again. This time the project is underway and the supple spout of the extruder begins painting a delicate line of plastic in the design of a cellphone cover. With the quick-moving finesse of a master pastry chef spraying frosting, the machine will continue its crafting dance for about two hours before it finally completes the product.
"There's no limit to what you can make on these things," Serels said. "Some of the things that people can make are crazy."
Among these, according to Derry, is actual human skin made from biochemical material.
"The Westport Library was the first library in the state to create a Maker Space, and it was a direct result of the success of last year's Westport Mini Maker Faire," said Mark Mathias, a Board of Education member who played a key role in organizing last year's fair. Mathias, along with the Westport Sunrise Rotary Club, helped secure the library's first 3-D printer.
"The Westport Mini Maker Faire is the first official Maker Faire event in Connecticut," he said. As a consequence, he started a nonprofit called Remarkable STEAM Inc., which is co-producing the fair.
"Starting this year," he said, the fair "will start programs to help bridge the education gap, as well as help create jobs for people," he said. "One of our target goals is to build a physical facility that allows people to work on larger, longer-term projects with equipment and materials that will help foster creativity, innovation and learning."
The second annual Westport Mini Maker Faire will showcase invention, creativity and resourcefulness with a variety of demonstrations and hands-on exhibits at the Westport Public Library and Jesup Green on Saturday, April 27, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The event, according to organizers from the library and Remarkable Steam Inc., will feature the latest in 3-D printing, Arduino board and Raspberry Pi applications, ham radios, DIY biology, computer-assisted drawing demonstrations, woodworking, vintage electronics, robotics, remote-controlled aircraft, student projects, unusual tools and machines, composting and rocketry.
A $1,000 prize will be awarded by the Awesome Foundation CT to an exhibitor whose work best exemplifies the Maker Faire principles of innovation, experimentation and craftsmanship. For more information, visit www.awesomect.org/makerfaire.

From February 2016 a metro Line 9 connects Barcelona airport terminals 1 and 2 to parts of the Barcelona metro network but not to the city center. The new L9 is a not a conventional high-speed direct metro line connecting the airport to the city centre like many other European cities. The new L9 airport metro line has many stations and an route around the city edge to reach other metro lines which then can connect to the city centre. This means the new L9 metro is not a fast connection although quite cheap. Please note that you need an extra ticket to take the L9 metro to the airport. For visitors to trade fair area called Fira Gran via the L9 is a direct connection. The most popular way of getting to Barcelona city centre from Barcelona airport in 2016 will therefore probably still be taxi or Barcelona Aerobus airport bus, which is a direct bus from airport to Plaza Catalunya in the city centre, where you can either walk to your hotel or take a short metro or taxi journey to your hotel. Sponsored ad Barcelona International Airport is called "aeropuerto de Barcelona" in Spanish - and often called "aeropuerto El Prat" because of the location in the area and town called "El Prat de Llobregat." (prat means meadow in Catalan.) It is the biggest airport near Barcelona with two terminals. El Prat Airport transports around 35 million passengers a year. The average time that it will take you to get to and from the centre of Barcelona to the airport is around 30 minutes by car, taxi or mini-van - and about 30-45 minutes by bus, airport bus or train. The cheapest way to get to Barcelona El Prat airport is by R2 Nord train - but there are only two R2 train departures an hour from the centre, so it can take longer than the airport buses or taxis and the R2 train only goes to T2 terminal. From T2 terminal you have to take a free shuttle bus to terminal T1. So the R2 train can take a long time. The second cheapest and the most convenient way is to take the airport shuttle buses Aerobuses A1 and A2 from Plaza Catalunya in the centre of Barcelona, which have routes to both terminals. If you are three or more persons, then sharing a taxi is not much more expensive than taking the airport bus. The new T1 terminal at Barcelona International airport opened in 2009. There are two Barcelona airport terminals called T1 (old terminal) and T2 (newest terminal). Most airlines and flights are at the new T1 terminal. There are airport buses from both terminals. The A1 Aerobus airport bus from Plaza Catalunya goes to the T1 terminal. The A2 Aerobus goes to the T2 terminal. There are regular free green shuttle buses between T1 and T2 terminals that leave every 5 minutes, 24 hours a day. The travel time between the T1 and new T2 terminals at Barcelona airport is 12 minutes.

The name for this network is "Cercanias" in Spanish - and " Rodalies" in Catalan.

If you are connecting to the R2 Nord airport train by metro, then you can go from the Passeig de Gracia metro station to airport station underground, but there are many steps and long tunnels, so if you have heavy luggage, it is hot and hard work. It will be easier to exit the metro station at Passeig de Gracia, then walk up the street of Passeig de Gracia and re-enter the AGIF airport railway station, but then you will have to buy a new metro ticket to use for the airport train. If you are not connecting from a metro, then just go straight to the airport station on the corner of streets Passeig de Gracia and Arago.

There are many majors that require students to complete an undergraduate Accounting course or two. Accounting is a very exact and precise tracking system for businesses. Taking a course which leaves no room for errors can be quite daunting for many students.
Financial Accounting will include the basic concepts and principles underlying the preparation and use of financial statements: basic accounting theory, transactional analyses, income determination, asset and liability valuation, and the preparation of financial statements.
Managerial Accounting will include topics related to the manager's role in making business decisions: cost classification, behavior, and allocation, cost-volume-profit analysis, operating and capital budgeting, variance analysis, performance evaluation and responsibility accounting.
Cost Accounting will discuss the accumulation and analysis of cost accounting information for the valuation of products and services, internal decision making, and measurement of financial performance.
International Accounting, an upper level course, will provide an understanding of accounting issues arising from the increased globalization of today's business: comparative cross-national financial reporting; efforts to harmonize cross-national accounting standards and practices and to develop international accounting standards; taxation and transfer pricing issues; and managerial control of global operations.
No matter the level of the course, we have tutors with degrees in accounting and many related fields. Most of our tutors that assist students in their accounting courses hold an MBA, Master of Business Administration, or are CPA's, Certified Public Accountants.

No matter the subject area, we believe in experts with related experience providing professional college level tutoring. Our college tutors are always top in quality and credentials.

Little Latina's will be Sambaing in the sun this summer with punchy prints and a vibrant colour palette that gives a lively kick. 'Style tribe' has a more urban edge, with strong tribal influences.

text: Beer prices jumped a few years ago thanks to a hop shortage. This year, prices may rise because of a possible barley shortage. The Toronto Sun has a story saying that a late-developing barley crop -- thanks to the crummy weather -- may produce the second-smallest harvest in nine years in Canada. The country is the world's biggest exporter of malting barley, the newspaper says. "Biggest factor will be harvest (weather)," Lorelle Selinger, manager of barley marketing and sales for the Wheat Board, told the newspaper. "Quality will be the big question."

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Continued from page 1
I wouldn't hold your breath.
With a GOP controlled House dead set on doing anything in its power to disrupt Obamacare—even if it means leaving millions of children uninsured—it is highly unlikely that they will do what is necessary to correct this problem.
For those who are quick to enjoy so negative a result of what they perceive to be a poorly crafted and ill conceived health care reform law, they should understand that virtually all legislation—even legislation that meets the approval of the staunchest healthcare reform critic—comes complete with drafting errors and ambiguities. However, in normal circumstances, either the courts or Congress can typically be depended upon to straighten out such ambiguities in order to support the intent and purposes of any given law.
Sadly, 'normal circumstances' do not apply when it comes to Obamacare as the law's enemies will be more than happy to deny health care coverage to millions of American children in order to press what they will perceive as a political advantage.
It should also not go unnoticed that there are no shortage of experts who believe that the IRS has misinterpreted the provision and made a credible case to support the notion that Congress intended the 9.5% cut-off to apply to the total family benefit—not just the individual employee benefit.
I suppose there is some good news.
In a separate regulation proposed by the IRS, the spouse and children of the employee used in the example provided above would be exempt from any penalty resulting from not having health insurance coverage as the cost to the family under the employee's work benefit would exceed 8 percent of the household income.
I'm sure that will come as very cold comfort indeed should that family's child fall ill.
Mistakes happen. Ambiguity in legislation is a normal, everyday occurrence.
However, failure of this Congress to repair this issue would be anything but normal and a truly shameful example of how politicians will sacrifice anyone who gets in the way of a convenient political narrative.
Nobody should sit idly by and allow this perversion of the Affordable Care Act to happen.

Harris takes some of the most evocative, beautiful video game screenshots I've ever seen, and we've been sharing some of his work each week here. This week has some good stuff. Let's get into it, shall we? Advertisement Advertisement First up, at top:"I Am The Very Model of a Sideways-Scrolling Beat-Em-Up"Or really, Mr. Harris? Well then: Sponsored I've information vi-o-lent and beat the bad guys to a pulp I know kung-fu-ian theory and am teaming with a lot-o-moves with many cheerful ways to shred anonymously evil dudes(with many cheerful ways to shred anonymously evil dudes!) Bonus points for the Gilbert & Sullivan reference! Here are Duncan's notes on this terrific shot from Bulletstorm:Tools and tricks: custom game build, debug camera, custom FOV, 2160p rendering, FXAA injection, timestop. "No Place Like Home"Yet another shot that captures how gorgeous Modern Warfare 2 was in its wanton destruction. As I careened through this single-player campaign, I always felt like the art team had slaved over this incredible stuff, only to have us pass it by in the blink of an eye, actively penalized for pausing to take it in. It's nice to slow down and dig the lovely particle effects. Advertisement Duncan's Notes:Tools and tricks: game client 1.0 (boxed version), MW2 Unleashed command console patch, high quality ambient occlusion, custom LOD bias, 2160p rendering, FXAA, no-HUD, timestop, free camera, custom FOV. "Wormwood"A beautiful shot from STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl (screw it, I'm not doing the periods anymore and you can't make me). Gotta play more of this game. Duncan's notes: Advertisement Tools and tricks: 2160 rendering, antialiasing (SMAA), free camera, time demo recorder, no-HUD, STALKER Complete 2009 mod, custom FOV (hacked game DLL @ FOV 50). "Escape Velocity"A very cool shot from The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Dark Athena. Duncan's notes:Tools and tricks: 2160p rendering, antialiasing (FXAA), free camera, timestop. "Hymn of the Big Wheel"The ferris wheel from STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl, which also makes a cameo in the best level of the first (and best) Modern Warfare. As Duncan points out, "In a city where the average age was just 26, it's fittingly cruel that the Pripyat Ferris Wheel, a decaying symbol of Soviet nuclear naivety, is today its most irradiated landmark. It might also explain where Modern Warfare's John 'Soap' MacTavish got his superhuman powers and giant bollocks" Advertisement Heh. Notes:Tools and tricks: 2160 rendering, antialiasing (SMAA), free camera, time demo recorder, no-HUD, STALKER Complete 2009 mod, custom FOV (hacked game DLL @ FOV 50). "Crysis Collection #1"To fill out this week, I'm looking back at Dead End Thrills' Crysis collection, which is truly a game made for this site. They are all gorgeous (how many amazing shots of an island can you drool over?), but I really like this one. "Crysis Collection #2"Too many games that have lovely looking surface water drop the ball once you go under water (I'm looking at you, Skyrim). But not Crysis. I love how this shot celebrates that—few games go so far as to have an underwater view look as gorgeous as this one.

The Georgia House's failure to approve a tobacco tax increase, while instead agreeing to levy a new tax on hospitals, is quite frankly baffling.
Keep tobacco tax increase alive

Down with tobacco. Georgia needs mmj!
04/03/10 at 05:48 AM
Great to see GA lawmakers killed this tobacco tax hike! Lawmakers shouldn't be basing revenue off an overtaxed and very picked-on minority, not to mention the very major decline in tax revenue Florida has seen, since their state cigarette tax increased $1 last summer:
04/03/10 at 01:53 PM
Just remember what the taxes are for. They are a very large part of the childrens health care, among other things,that are given to the masses of people that want things for free and not earn them. When all of you do-gooders get what you want, and do away with all tobacco products, something that people have used for pleasure for hundreds of years, I guess you have figured our who will fill the gap and be taxed more to make up for lost revenue, for you know this tax will never go away. I guess it is too much to expect for you to be following the news lately and notice that all the turmoil at the present is about taxes ( you dont think so? ) Read the new taxes coming soon to your doorstep in the Healthcare bill that this congress of liberal DEMS. have (ruled) against the will of the majority of opinion poles in every state of the Union. APPX. 65% say ( dont do this.) Who wants the I.R.S. to be the inforcer on their ins. This is what all of the freeby folks want. I do think you will be crying over a very bad mistake when you start paying for a service that you will not get for four years, but you will be making payments anyway. If you don't, the I.R.S. has employed a small army for the one purpose , to check on people who do not buy the type of ins. the Gov. tells you to buy, even if you do not want it. Fines of appx. 2500 dollars if you don't. Have any of you people wondered why members of congress will be avoiding the question, are you and yours going to be under the same law that you gave us against our will? For your information none has agreed to put their family or themselves under the same knife, because this will be a deep cut between your personal DR. and you. A board of burocrats will tell you if you can have the procedure that was recomended to you or what you can have., not what you and your DR. agree to. So, what happened to the famous saying, (ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU, BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY ). The best thing the Dems. can do for thie country today, is not to live on the sweat of others and take care of your own future and not depend on someone other than you. This quote by John F Kennedy was said to this Nation. What happened to that spirit? I think it has been changed over the years by doing a bad job of putting people in office that run on the platform of (PUT ME IN OFFICE AND YOU CAN GET SOMETHING FOR YOUR VOTE)( JUST PUT ME IN POWER AND IT WILL BE SORTED OUT LATER)(TRUST ME!!!!!!) Do research on what the person believes in,like the Constitution with the BILL OF RIGHTS. If you haven't read them it really would be worth your while.

What continues to fascinate me is the continued pressure placed on tobacco and virtually none placed on alcoholic beverages.
Pull of the road virtually anywhere and take note of the carpet of beer bottles in the ditch. Based on this fact alone, it is a wonder that driving on the road doesn't get you killed by a drunk immediately.
Despite this fact, there is no enthusiasm for increasing taxes and fees on this popular item. Why is that? Could it be the politicians enjoy partaking in alcoholic beverages so much they don't want to increase costs to themselves?
Oh well, just another one of those mysteries of life that aren't really that mysterious once you carefully consider all the facts.

GA tobacco tax is 5th lowest in the nation, I think we could stand an increase in this tax if it means the difference bewtween hospitals closing or not.

The Georgia legislators again show their true colors, big business before personal health. I can not think of one good thing that comes from smoking. I bet you anyone who really knew before hand the expense and toll on personal health smoking would cost them they would have never picked up the pack in the first place. You may say it creates jobs but society doesn't need any more blood money. This is absolutely insane. Life is just too precious to play Russian roulette with tobacco products and eventually you will spin the cylinder and the cancer bullet will lock into the barrel of death. The tobacco industry has to constantly get new tobacco addicts to stay in business and it is your children who they will sucker into giving up their personal health just so they can stay out of the red on their spreadsheet. You may say it's all personal choice. To really have a choice you must know beforehand what you are giving up and it's the clever marketing schemes glamorize the poison you suck into your lungs. When are we going to evolve to the point that we have the wisdom and sense of humanity that we say no more cost in lives to the tobacco industry? You can not take anymore lives just to insure your own profitability. If capitalism is to survive it must first find a conscience but there are those hardcore profiteers with no sense of humanity who continue to give it a bad name. Our legislators have let us down once again. They know no shame.

We have just been handed a pre-production Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D digital SLR. On our way back from the show I've snapped a few samples for your viewing pleasure. Most of these shots were taken with a deliberately slow shutter speed to test Konica Minolta's Anti-Shake CCD stabilization system. And the results do look surprisingly good. We hope to bring you a more extensive gallery later in the week.

By Michael Souza
PBN Staff Writer
James Gifas is the executive vice president and head of the treasury solutions group for RBS Citizens since 2008. He directed the development of RBS's corporate mobile offering, accessMOBILE, in 2010. Previously, he has served in senior roles at Citibank and Deutsche Bank. Recently he was responsible for a study conducted by the Association for Financial Professionals, underwritten by Citizens, concerning short-term corporate cash is increasingly moving towards banks, with bank deposits now accounting for 51 percent of short-term corporate investment balances.
PBN: According to the survey, elevated cash concentrations on bank balance sheets are expected to continue. What, exactly, is the present status?
GIFAS: Over the last few years we've seen more of our corporate customers migrating more of their money toward bank deposits. We definitely have seen a big increase in 2012, an increase of 9 percent, which is very high. This has been driven by our customers that are looking at safety and soundness as being their primary concern. more than their yield.
PBN: Why is it expected to continue?
GIFAS: They have been looking at their investment options but aren't seeing any out there. They are opting for safety, which has driven the balances up. The economy seems to be standing still and there isn't much growth. Right now it's safety first and yield second. Corporate boards are enforcing very strict guidelines on where they will place those funds and I see that continuing.
PBN: What short-term conclusions can you make from this trend – what does it indicate?
GIFAS: Historically, bank customers diversify their deposits to try to maximize their returns. With the downturn in the economy, corporate customers are looking for soundness and stability and have been depositing their money in corporate term deposit accounts at their bank. What you see is an increase in bank deposit figures.
What we are also seeing is that they are looking to us for insight, looking for investments that will not affect their principle.
PBN: What have you personally observed?
GIFAS: Large or small, I've seen it across the board. Smaller companies have less to hold onto than the larger ones but they are all doing the same thing, saving money. But the mood among almost all of them has been optimistic. They are looking for opportunity, to do something with it. They are being more careful in where they invest it.
I think they are looking for acquisitions, looking for something that might help them grow their business but they won't take any risk.
PBN: Does this trend run counter to banks wanting to issue commercial loans, and if so, how do you convince companies otherwise?
GIFAS: Of those responding, about 10 percent said they would use their deposits to pay down debt. The majority of them are on the sidelines, optimistic and ready to borrow, but they also are looking to use a lot of capital to make investments in their business. I find that it's a balance of using capital efficiently but also leveraging the bank's balance sheet as well.
These aren't new issues, it's just that it is hitting them all at the same time. They have foreign exchange risk, investment, sovereign risk; whether they are purely a domestic customer purely in the United States, or they do business in multiple regions, they are affected by the same issues.
Before, when there were economic issues in the U.S. they would just go and invest in Europe because there could be some opportunity for growth. Now, Europe is having those same challenges. So is Asia.

To the Editors:
Reading Henry Petroski's Engineering column "Bridges of the Mediterranean" (January–February) reminded me of a time during World War II when I was a young US Army Air Forces officer stationed at Finschhafen, on the east coast of New Guinea. One day I ventured from our radio station to explore the surroundings. After a short hike I heard people speaking a language I didn't recognize and realized that I was approaching a native village. In a few more steps I found a small stream, maybe 20 feet wide, where some youngsters and young mothers were having a good time flopping around in the water.
By the far bank of the stream rested two rather large logs tied together with vines. About then an adult male wearing a small loincloth spoke in pidgin English, "You um Yank?" My response: "Me um Yank." He spoke again and the women turned the logs so that they spanned the stream and I walked across into the village. People living very simply make bridges, including potential toll bridges.
Incidentally, if I had said I was an Aussie, they would not have spanned the stream with the logs. Most native people did not like Australians because they had used natives in forced labor in their coconut plantation prior to our arrival.

Operation holds promise for patients with infective endocarditis: A potentially fatal bacterial disease of the heart, infective endocarditis frequently affects the heart's tricuspid valve, often resulting in permanent tissue damage.
A reconstructive technique, in which the valve is repaired with a bioscaffold on which new tissue can grow, can give some patients a new lease on life - a lease that has been extended to patients at Temple University Hospital, in Philadelphia, thanks to the pioneering work of T. Sloane Guy, Associate Professor of Surgery, Section Chief of Cardiovascular Surgery, and Chief of Robotics at Temple University School of Medicine (TUSM).
Guy is one of only about a dozen cardiovascular surgeons in the United States who has performed complete tricuspid valve repair procedures using CorMatrix®, an extracellular matrix (ECM) material. In 2013, he became one of the first to perform the reconstruction endoscopically using robotic techniques.
Robotic surgery is a groundbreaking tool in medicine that has been both celebrated for its benefits and criticized for its high cost and high-profile failures. But according to Guy, totally endoscopic robotic heart surgery not only minimizes the size of incisions made in the chest but also takes advantage of the ability of surgeons, using robotic-assisted tools and techniques, to make high-precision, minute movements, which gives it an edge over traditional techniques.
Recently, Guy performed a robotic repair by first removing nearly all of the damaged valve from the patient's heart. He then used what he calls the 'cylinder technique' to repair the damaged tissue with a sheet of bioscaffolding that had been fashioned into a tube. The tube effectively served as a new valve.
"We used a CorMatrix® bioscaffold to completely reconstruct the valve," Guy explained. The bioscaffold consist of a sheet of ECM, an acellular meshwork of fibers and carbohydrate polymers that facilitates reconstruction by giving patients' own cells a framework on which to build new tissue. Because ECM is made of natural materials, it is eventually replaced by the patient's own cells and absorbed by the body. It also has a low likelihood of rejection, since it does not contain foreign cells or proteins that could precipitate an immune response.

Comment docusign.net (Score 1) 251
Nowhere on the site was there a warning that this would occur, an option for using encryption for email communications, or an option to download completed documents rather than having them emailed.
From this I inferred that the customers of docusign.net are their client entities, and the people who fill out the documents are [fill in your favorite term].
My response? I questioned the integrity of the organization to which I was applying, and vowed never to do anything through docusign.net again.

Cambridge Audio Minx xi
Very happy with the Minx xi. Mine is connected to my router by Ethernet. I only have two complaints. The Bluetooth dongle is placed in the back of the machine, which influences its receptivity. And the online interface could be more robust. But the system does everything I wanted and more.
Pros: Access to radio stations online.
Cons: Bluetooth a bit weak.

The author, who once served under General Patton and whose father, Dwight D. Eisenhower, was Patton's commanding officer, shares his memories of "Ol' Blood and Guts"
On the morning of December 19, 1944, General Dwight D. Eisenhower strode into the gloomy school building in Verdun that housed the main headquarters of General Omar Bradley's Twelfth Army Group. He had called a meeting of all the senior commanders under Bradley. More than just the building was gloomy; the weather outside was a dark gray, and the tactical situation facing the American Army in Europe was also dark. Adolf Hitler's gigantic Ardennes counteroffensive had been launched three days before, and German Gen.Read more »
More than a million children participated in the Salk poliomyelitis vaccine trials of 1954, the largest public health experiment in American History
On April 26, 1954, six-year-old Randy Kerr stood first in line at his elementary school gymnasium in McLean, Virginia, sporting a crew cut and a smile. With assembly-line precision, a nurse rolled up his left sleeve, a doctor administered the injection, a clerk recorded the details, and the next child stepped into place. "I could hardly feel it," boasted Kerr, America's first polio pioneer. "It hurt less than a penicillin shot." Read more »
A soldier who landed in the second wave on Omaha Beach assesses the broadest implications of what he and his comrades achieved there
A conjecture, worthy of a certainty, is that no American soldier on Omaha Beach at high noon, June 6, 1944, gave thought to being present at a turning point in world history. Any abstract thinking he may have done was more likely along the lines of being in a major debacle. The English Channel to his back, his weapons, fouled by saltwater and sand, he was largely naked before an enemy firing down from trenches and massive concrete bunkers along high bluffs looming to his immediate front.Read more »
The U-2, Cuba, and the CIA
In the still of the October night, the slender, birdlike plane lifted into the sky from its base in California, climbed sharply on a column of flame, and headed east through the darkness. Pilot Richard Heyser, in the cramped, tiny cockpit, had good reason to be apprehensive, but he had little time to worry.Read more »

Surname meaning for "Stone"
English: from Old English stan 'stone', in any of several uses. It is most commonly a topographic name, for someone who lived either on stony ground or by a notable outcrop of rock or a stone boundary-marker or monument, but it is also found as a metonymic occupational name for someone who worked in stone, a mason or stonecutter. There are various places in southern and western England named with this word, for example in Buckinghamshire, Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Kent, Somerset, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire, and the surname may also be a habitational name from any of these.

If you've never worked with a speechwriter, there are lots of advantages: You'll get turns of phrase, concise versions of your long-windedness, and someone else to think through a coherent talk. But before all those nice results, you need to talk to the speechwriter. Really, you do.
I only emphasize this because Speechwriters I Have Known beg primarily for one thing: "Tell your clients to give us time, early, and well before the speech."
Speechwriters have many skills: They can look up apt quotations and figure out where to work them in. They can give you a narrative, pull disparate items into a thematic whole, remind you whom to thank or give you those grace notes that will have the crowd beaming For an important, high-pressure or data-laden talk, they can boil down your details, create the call to action and take at least one burden of speaking off your shoulders.
Fortunately, lots of speechwriters follow The Eloquent Woman. In case no one's told you about what speechwriters need from you to succeed, I'm going to ask them to contribute to a blog carnival on the topic. Here's how it works: Speechwriters, speaking coaches or speakers who have worked with speechwriters are invited to post on their own blogs about what's most helpful to share with speechwriters. Post to your own blog by August 27 at midnight Eastern US time, and send me the link; I'll compile the advice into a post with all the crowdsourced advice. So tell us: What do you want to know from speakers? What helps you shape your advice or the content--and why?
I'm looking forward to your contributions. Email me at info[at]dontgetcaught[dot]biz with any questions.
