As you have read the trip was quite successful. We ended up with 207 Wahoo and 214 Yellowfin tuna. We had 13 fish over 200 pounds, with the largest at 267 pounds, which took three rods and reels to subdue. Two of those rods and reels were in the water for over an hour and yet functioned perfectly when we returned then. Jack and his two sons at Accurate must be quite pleased of this accomplishment because often I have seen the drags in a reel retrieved from the water become quite sticky.
I want to mention Francois Mangot and his brother Claude. They come each year from France on this trip. They are wonderful people and both are excellent fishermen. Francois caught 3 fish over 200 pounds and his brother Claude a 267-pound Yellowfin tuna.
For those of you out there interested in doing this trip next year, there will definitely be some openings as 10 of the regulars on this trip are going to Clipperton in 2012. If you need tackle, this is the trip to go on, as Jack brings at least 50 two-speed reels and rods for passengers to use.
For the next two weeks we will be running Ecology trips to the lagoons, but still reporting. Our next fishing trip leaves March 15th.

New Record Bigeye, Maybe
The following story came from BloodyDecks.com, posted there February 22: While it has been trimmed here, most long rangers will be very interested in a bigeye tuna of this size.
Capt. Braden Escobar and his crew on Big Fish had seen 10 days of slick-calm water. On February 13, the crew decided to shake it up a bit and run 50 miles to Floreana Island. Fishing just three miles offshore around an area known as the Post Office, the crew was hoping to spot a big blue marlin, known to lurk around these waters.
They found hordes of bonito busting the surface and decided to snag a few and slow-troll them as live baits. They bridled up a few tuna, and began trolling them. The crew pulled the baits around for more than two hours but only attracted the attention of sharks, which are illegal to catch in the Galapagos they decided to switch back to lures and look for more action. Trying to cover as much ground as possible, the boat chugged along at 8 knots pulling all lures. At 2:50 p.m. a huge head came out of the water followed by a tremendous explosion. Anthony Berado grabbed the rod and began fighting the big fish on a Shimano Tallus 50- to 80-pound stand-up rod with a matching TLD 50 reel. The fight went one hour and five minutes before Anthony subdued the beast. IGFA representative Pete Santini weighed and measured the fish, which came in at 357 pounds. The catch was submitted to the IGFA as a potential 50-pound-class world record.
Hi Bill:
I agree with all the favorable comments you have been receiving and wish to add one more. I sure wish I had the benefit of all the good info and advice back in 2004 when I started going long range. Great work; the design and layout by Paul is dramatic. Thanks for the book. I have already referred it to a couple of fishing buddies.This is a great reference book for my future trips. Next one is in August aboard the Spirit of Adventure. First time on the boat; perhaps we will see you at the landing. Keep up the good work! Your writing and videos get me through the winter months! Regards,
Bill H. (by email February 22, 2011)
ATR Is The Book
This is the book I take off the shelf to explain Long Range to friends and family. They hear my passion, and they see repetitive photos of fish, from trip after trip. This book gives them pictures I could never take. And the very readable text explains the How and Where and Why. At The Rail is a welcome gift to every fisherman for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, baby showers, or any holiday of choice. THIS BOOK IS A MUST HAVE IN EVERY LONG RANGE LIBRARY!
Beth (Smith) Lemberg, (by email, February 22, 2011)

How Shale Energy Reshapes American Security
The United States will be less vulnerable to foreign crises, but it will gain new liabilities.
The shale revolution hit America and the world with such speed and suddenness that it surprised almost everyone—investors, businessmen, economists and politicians. Soon the implications of this dramatic development seeped into the national consciousness and spread optimism that the United States could ride it to a wave of prosperity. And the new techniques for extracting "unconventional" oil and gas from shale rock, which America possesses in such abundance, do indeed pose prospects for an economic boom.
They also pose prospects for changes in the defense posture of many nations. Anything of value that a nation possesses must be protected, and that includes its capacity to produce energy. America's leaders and defense chiefs will have to recognize and respond to the new strategic imperatives of shale, just as their potential adversaries undoubtedly will. Together, these new imperatives will have repercussions for sea-lane protection, domestic security, the importance of water, and international competition for diminishing foreign markets.
While these may not be major challenges to Washington yet, they will grow in significance as the shale revolution, currently in its relative infancy, continues to expand. As Maria van der Hoeven, executive director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), puts it, "The global oil map will be redrawn over the next five years." The revolution is the product of new, cost-effective methods of drilling to extract natural gas trapped in shale rock. In the United States, which has taken the lead in such development, this has brought a glut of cheap energy onto the domestic market. By 2015, the IEA estimates, the United States will overtake Russia as the world's biggest gas producer and by 2035 will become "all but (energy) self-sufficient." Shale oil also can be extracted from shale rock, and the IEA estimates that within a decade the United States will overtake Saudi Arabia as the world's biggest oil producer. As recently as October 2005, America was importing more than 13 million barrels of oil every day, around two-thirds of its consumption.
Exactly where and when other shale producers will emerge is difficult to tell. Other countries, notably European states, possess large deposits of shale rock but lack the key ingredients of America's own energy revolution. Western Europe's shale deposits, for example, have a higher clay content that makes them much harder to exploit, while Eastern Europe lags behind the United States in technology. Its governments also may not be able to subsidize their energy companies with the generous tax breaks and incentives that have fuelled America's shale boom. But China could eventually become a major player, since it is moving fast to exploit its very large resources of shale gas: some leading analysts think that, by 2020, domestic production could significantly reduce its demand for imported gas. Other countries with high hopes of shale production include Argentina, Poland, Ukraine and, in the longer term, India.
Despite many uncertainties about its scope and duration, the shale revolution will continue to insulate the United States from market shocks affecting the global price of both crude oil and liquefied (shipped) natural gas. Oil exporters such as Saudi Arabia have previously wielded a hugely powerful "energy weapon," exerted with devastating effect after the Arab-Israeli war of 1973. And gas producers, most notably Russia, have sometimes exercised a comparable grip over the recipients of their piped supplies. But as the United States becomes increasingly self-sufficient in energy, it is acquiring, in equal proportion, more immunity from such actions, putting it in a position to exploit this to its own advantage. For example, until the advent of commercial shale in the United States around 2008-9, the adverse effects on the price of crude dictated heavily against tough measures on Iran. But since 2012 the United States has successfully supported EU sanctions on the flow of Iranian oil: these measures have drastically reduced Iran's exports, slashing its revenues and punishing its economy without pushing global oil prices over $100 a barrel.
America's breakout position in the shale revolution raises a number of strategic possibilities. For example, the United States could manipulate the price of energy for its political rather than narrowly commercial benefit. Future U.S. shale output could depress the market price of crude oil and liquefied natural gas and undermine the viability of other countries' shale- (and conventional-) energy industries, which require well-defined break-even costs and clear margins. By doing so, the United States could maintain its clear strategic advantage as a virtually self-sufficient producer. Comparisons can be drawn to the Cold War in the 1980s, when Saudi overproduction depressed the price of crude oil and thereby depleted the Soviet Union's revenues; or to Moscow's decision, in 2010, to abandon the massive Shtokman gas field, the viability of which was undermined by sharply lower market prices. Of course, such an approach could damage America's own shale industry, whose profits and margins would also come under pressure.

Banjo Brothers' "Tiny Bikeshop Concert Series" hits Philly
From our buddies at Banjo Brothers:
Cycling Bag Maker Banjo Brothers Teams Up with Philadelphia's Trophy Bikes and MPLS based Singer/Songwriter Brianna Lane For A FREE "Tiny Bikeshop Concert" on July 30th
Co-Sponsors Twin Six and Bianchi Bicycles USA sweeten the mix with some sweet swag and marketing muscle
Minneapolis, MN, July 11, 2013 –Banjo Brothers, the Minneapolis-based bike bag maker is putting on their 7th "Tiny Bikeshop Concert™ " Free Live Music Shows Held in the World's Best Bike Shops, this time in Philadelphia, PA at Trophy Bikes, 712 N 2nd St Philadelphia, PA 19123 On July 30th. Minneapolis recording artist Brianna Lane will once again headline the show. There will be a shop ride departing from Trophy Bikes at 6pm with FREE Live Music starting at 7:30pm.
Since 2011 the Banjo Brothers have been treating cyclists to the free music shows and helping local bike shops deliver a nice perk to existing and would-be customers. For each event, the Banjo Brothers (not brothers), have brought in key partners to help promote the show and add to the evening's fun. In this case Bianchi Bicycles and cycling apparel juggernaut Twin Six are part of the mix. Trophy Bikes created some special deals for show attendees. Coupons for service and accessories will be available as well as door prizes from Abus, Banjo Brothers, Twin Six and Bianchi.
On a tip from Banjo friend and Bianchi sales rep Will Mahler, the Brothers Banjo reached out to Trophy Bikes' Mike McGettigan, Trophy's owner, about doing one of the popular concerts in his shop. "Mcgettigan's enthusiasm, his friendly staff and the reputation the shop has for great customer service made it an easy choice," said Banjo Brothers Co-Founder Mike Vanderscheuren. "I know this is a place where, even if people have never been in the shop before, will have a great time," Vanderscheuren continued.
One of the secrets to the success of the shows has been the quality of the music.
Banjo Brothers' relationship with Brianna Lane goes back almost a decade. Lane is a seasoned performer who has toured extensively on her own and opened for some notable headliners such as Gillian Welch, Billy Bragg and Colin Hay. In addition to being a talented musician, Lane brings a little something extra to these bike-centric shows. She is a die-hard cyclist who the Banjo Brothers got to know when she started a music tour by bicycle instead of by car. This was no cakewalk, but a 1,100 mile trek from Milwaukee, WI to Boston, MA. The need for a specialized pannier for her Banjo sealed the deal.
Lane's influence and savvy quickly added another dimension to the "Tiny Shows" when she made some key suggestions to the Banjo Brothers, who know little about putting on a music show. Among her input was to treat the musical portion of the event with the same respect as a full-blown concert and not "some music" that's happening as people mill around the shop. It's no coincidence that Trophy's charming space in the Northern Liberties Neighborhood will provide the most intimate of venues. Those in attendance will be treated to a unique and highly personal concert experience.

Boynton Adds Songs to 'Desire'
Boynton Adds Songs to 'Desire'
The final member of a star cast was confirmed today with singer Mere Boynton added to Songs and Dances of Desire: In Memoriam Carmen Rupe.
She joins a top group of artists that includes dancer Jason Moore, mezzo-soprano Anna Pierard, Japanese guitarist Norio Sato, director Warwick Broadhead, conductor Kenneth Young and China's first countertenor, Xiao Ma.
The work, which is presented by Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra (APO) for the Auckland Arts Festival, is the latest from APO Composer-in-Residence Jack Body, and is dedicated to the legendary drag queen, Wellington mayoral candidate, King's Cross personality and fearless equal rights campaigner Trevor Rupe, known to all as Carmen.
Although most of the music is newly composed, Body says Songs and Dances of Desire has been more than 20 years in the making.
"I first conceived of the work in 1991, and a much shorter version, called Carmen Dances, was performed as a concert piece in 2002, so to finally complete and present it as I'd always imagined is special."
Songs and Dances of Desire is part classical work, part cabaret, with allusions to Bizet's opera Carmen running throughout. Its composer calls it "an entertainment," and describes it as "kitsch and sexy and naughty, with darkness and power and things that will frighten people. It will be a total experience."
"This is a significant work by a significant composer and we are proud to stage it at the festival," says APO Chief Executive Barbara Glaser. "Carmen is an almost mythical figure both here and Australia, and Songs and Dances of Desire does justice to her memory."
In the spirit of Carmen, and Body's music, people are encouraged to dress colourfully.
WHO: Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra
WHAT: Songs and Dances of Desire: In Memoriam Carmen Rupe, by Jack Body
WHERE: Auckland Town Hall
WHEN: 8pm, Friday 8 March

Shuffle up and deal
NOFX — We Called it America
Love it when a punk song comes up on the shuffle and this song is appropriate for the dark and dreary times we're struggling through. Saw some great NOFX shows back in the 90's. Good times. Accordingly I'm more of a fan of their 90's stuff but this song is a good piece of their later work (2009).
The song opens with a quote from Alec Baldwin's character in Glengarry Glen Ross.
The leads are weak? Fucking leads are weak? YOU'RE weak.
The vinyl version of the song uses a different quote by Jack Lemmon instead of the Baldwin one. I'm not really an Alec Baldwin fan (I find him to be quite insufferable), but his work in Glengarry Glen Ross is his best.
The song has the usual strong guitar interplay and lightning fast tempo from Fat Mike and the boys. The lyrics paint a bleak (but accurate) portrait of where America has been and where we're going. Some lyrics:
Remember when America had a middle class
And an upper class, that was way before the exodus
That was the America that we thought was number one,
Thought would overcome, thought would never die
That was just our pride and faith, two shitty deadly sins
I know faith isn't one of 'em but it should have been
Cuz when things were crumbling, we had no camaraderie
Just a faith someone would save us from despondence
Seems like they're onto something, no?

I just added some new functionality to clean up Forums that are a bit over-cluttered with site related content posts. Back in the old days many members use to simply use the forums to find all the new content on the site (rather than peruse the homepage, news page or other article areas. Things have changed a lot since back then so it doesn't make sense (by default) to be showing a bunch of topics that duplicate the news, reviews, and features we already have listed on our homepage, Facebook, and elsewhere. Of course if you WANT to still see these things you will have that option by checking the "Show Site Content Related Topics" and hitting the "Save Selected" submit button to the right of that area. I also fixed the issue of non-associated topics not showing up if you use the filtered view, so now you also have an option to include those topics in your preferred forum view.
This current does not affect the Latest Posts page in any way and there is the Content forum on Model Shipwrights that is also going to get emptied by default for this feature. I need to add an exclusion for that forum I guess.
If you have questions, suggestions, or see some bugs related to this change please post them here.

Pretty Party Supplies
• 02 March 2011
G-g-g-gorgeous party supplies from Australian vendor, Emerald + Ella (named after the shop owner's future children :)). And if you're lucky enough to live in New South Wales, you can even rent her pretty goods for your next photo shoot; which brings me to my next thought, doesn't a trip to Australia sound amazing right now? I feel like this is the time of year when travel sounds most enticing as we are stuck somewhere between winter and spring for the moment...
But seriously, aren't these some of the loveliest party goods you've seen in some time? I'm swooning! You?
P.S. If you're planning a party in the near future I've recently posted some great birthday party ideas

Forums are good way to be heard, but I'd straight message admins about this. Forums are not official way for admins to look up what they can do to improve, but most of the admins (if not all) reads forums and part of threads. But yeah, I'd just in-game message admins about the situation. Usually they answer fast and you'll get your answer to the problem or what ever bugs your mind.Dyron said:What is the best way for players to make these get looked into?

Aluminum Gutter and Roofing Materials
The primary task for the roof of any building is to protect the interior from the elements—rain, sun, wind, dust and more. Of course, the roof also plays a key role in a building's aesthetic appeal. Likewise, gutters play a key role in controlling water flow, but also play a role in the visual impression of a building. Painted aluminum has proven to be an effective, durable and attractive option for roofs and gutters of all kinds. Painted aluminum elements are easily installed and nearly permanent when maintained properly.
Novelis offers a range of pre-painted aluminum products designed specifically for gutter and roofing materials that deliver:
- A variety of color choices
- Exceptional UV resistance
- Excellent resistance to corrosion
- High plasticity and workability
SuperGrondal® Gutters
SuperGrondal enables architects to design superior roofing and drainage systems with a new generation of pre-painted aluminum gutters that are highly resistant to weather and polluting agents. This new color shading technique gives the aluminum an appearance similar to copper, but with a considerable advantage: the effect remains unchanged through the years.
FALZONAL®: Durability Meets Great Design
FALZONAL is a pre-painted rolled aluminum product designed to deliver superior results for roofing. Semi-finished and coil-coated, the mechanical properties of the alloy and the coating were developed specifically for superior double-standing seam. With FALZONAL, you can take advantage of:
- Attractive appearance: A variety of colors and good formability enable FALZONAL to be combined with other elements such as wood, stone or glass. FALZONAL fits into many designs, from sweeping arched roofs to narrow dormers, church towers to large industrial facades.
- The right variety of designs for your needs: Use double-standing seam for roofing and wall cladding, or angle-standing seam and ledge roof designs for wall cladding.
- Versatility: Use for rain-proof double skin with rear ventilation, single-skin constructions with no rear ventilation or complex facade architecture.
- Excellent processability: Form, cut, saw, fold, drill, rivet and glue easily without harming the properties of the product or the coating.
- Superior resistance: The PVdF coating provides superior resistance to UV light, sea water, and corrosion due to condensation.
- Exceptional strength: Displays outstanding results against wind pressure and suction.
- Safety: An anti-slip, asymmetrically perforated protective film provides full coverage and can be left on for up to six months.

Benefits of Meditation
You may be curious about meditation, but not really sure how it works or what it does. It may seem foreign to you or you may have the idea that it's something monks do while living in caves in the Himalayas. Maybe you know someone who meditates and you've heard them gush about the physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual benefits of their practice. Devotees of meditating can be pretty adamant about what they're doing and those looking in from the outside may be skeptical. Today, scientific research is being applied to meditation with some fairly astounding results.
If you and your beloved one is in the final stages of your life and if you plan contact hospice care in Fort Worth and to start on meditating course or are just curious about how you could benefit from, you will first need to be clear about what you should expect from it. It helps different people in different ways. Here are some of the most common benefits which you are likely to get through constant practice and commitment.
Meditation makes your emotional state active
Regular meditating results in an increase in activity in the part of the brain that is connected to lower levels of anxiety and a balanced emotional state.Practicing for an hour and three times every week can lead to positive changes in your mood. This is one of the most commonly known benefits. This is particularly the case among those who had high-stress levels and resorted to meditation.
Meditation improves visuospatial skills
Visuospatial skills refer to a person's ability to understanding and conceptualizing spatial relationships and visual representations. By regular sessions, you can effect an improvement in your visuospatial skills.
Meditation increases the number of gray cells in your brain
Engaging yourself in meditation regularly can lead to an increase in your brain's gray cells. Recent research has suggested that meditating for an average of 40 minutes a day will help increase gray cells in the brain. When practiced regularly, will also contribute to improve visual, auditory and sensory abilities and can contribute to reducing the pace of aging of the brain.
Meditation can increase concentration
The ability to increase attention and focus are also two of the regular meditation benefits. Since our capacity of care is limited, in instances when we have to deal with more than one stimulus at the same time, we tend to miss them frequently. One of the modern forms -known as Vipassana meditation focuses on controlling mental distraction along with improving sensory alertness. By regular practicing, a person can keep his mind concentrated on the task at hand and had more power than other people over distracting thoughts that may flit through his mind.
Meditation helps deal with various disorders
Meditation could prove to be a valuable remedy for people with conditions like attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), depression and anxiety disorder, conditions which are characterized by extreme brooding over thoughts that are unrelated to the task at hand and a tendency to be distracted from it. Several studies have been conducted to show that meditating can have significant benefits in these conditions.
Meditation helps in better pain management
Practicing Zen meditation results in the thickening of certain areas around your cortex. This can lead to lesser sensitivity to pain and can be useful for better pain management. It is also helpful in preventing age-related lowering of the number of gray cells in the brain or for similar conditions where gray cells in the brain are compromised, like during a stroke.

Daeja Image Systems Ltd today announced that its world-leading java image viewer, ViewONE Pro, will now ship with support for the high-resolution JPEG2000 compression format as standard.
The JPEG2000 format is the next generation of the JPEG standard, and allows for visually lossless compression, at a much greater rate than exists with the original JPEG format.
With color imaging an important topic of discussion in both the commercial and consumer markets, thanks to the availability of high-end color scanners and megapixel digital cameras respectively, developing a new format to improve viewing resolutions and reduce file sizes, has been vital.
Thanks to the new functionality, ViewONE Pro will be able to take advantage of the new formats additional benefits. In addition to producing smaller files allowing faster download, JPEG2000 allows for multiple resolution previews to be stored within a single file, which ViewONE Pro can select in correlation to the users zoom ratio. This means that users of ViewONE Pro will be able to view substantially clearer images on-screen, at much higher zoom levels, than with existing standard image formats (including JPEG).
Whilst much of ViewONE Pros new functionality is being added within additional modules, Daeja felt that it was important that JPEG2000 viewing be supported in the main applet.
Jeremy E. Jones, Marketing Director, said: JPEG2000 has taken some time to make an impact on the imaging market, but its definitely going to substantially benefit organizations who need to scan to color or deal with large numbers of color images. ViewONE Pro is already recognized by our 6,000 customers across the world as the leading image viewer for web-based image management, and so its important that we continue to reward them by offering support for anything thats going to dramatically benefit their users. Whilst other viewers may begin to offer JPEG2000 support, thanks to ViewONE Pros global annotations system, our customers will be using the same annotations on their JPEG2000 files that they use on their PDFs, multi-page TIFFs and even their COLD documents for seamless collaboration across a range of image formats. ViewONE Pros annotations enables our customers to engage in real document collaboration whilst also consolidating on a single viewer.
He continues: Thanks to the viewers extensive configuration options (almost everything you see on screen can be configured with basic HTML and Javascript which we supply in our manuals), and our policy of server licensing rather than per-seat or user licensing, we believe its both the most flexible and affordable professional web viewing solution on the market. And its so easy to integrate it will seamlessly integrate into any web-based back end system, whether it runs a document or content management system, intranet, extranet or public web site, without any complex programming. Unlike SDKs, its a fully-fledged, ready to run product, which can be rolled out to an entire user base in a matter of minutes. ROI periods dont really get any shorter!
The new JPEG2000-enabled edition of ViewONE Pro is available to view working online on the ViewONE web site (www.viewone.com), where you can also download a fully-functional trial version. ViewONE Pro can be purchased through the online store or through Daejas global network of resellers and integrators.

After the Mail on Sunday attacked the Trussel Trust, the number of donations have increased from 250 since January to 4,282 in the last 24 hours!
At the time of writing £50,447.00 has been raised.
A few words from a newspaper driven by political ideology more akin to a foreign country and the British public give their opinion. A big thumbs down for the Mail and a big thumbs up for the Trussel Trust.

Amy Tan Quotes About SkinsQuotes about: Skins
So this is what I will do. I will gather together my past and look. I will see a thing that has already happened. the pain that cut my spirit loose. I will hold that pain in my hand until it becomes hard and shiny, more clear. And then my fierceness can come back, my golden side, my black side. I will use this sharp pain to penetrate my daughter's tough skin and cut her tiger spirit loose. She will fight me, because this is the nature of two tigers. But I will win and giver her my spirit, because this is the way a mother loves her daughter.
How I saw in her my own true nature. What was beneath my skin. Inside my bones... Even though I was young, I could see the pain of the flesh and the worth of the pain. This is how a daughter honors her mother. It is shou so deep it is in your bones. The pain of the flesh is nothing. The pain you must forget. Because sometimes that is the only way to remember what is in your bones. You must peel off your skin, and that of your mother, and her mother before her. Until there is nothing. No scar, no skin, no flesh.

Whats the best way to monetize porn type tumblr blogs??
thx in advice...
does plugrush still work? if yes how?
Plugrush, and juicy ads. try to drive your traffic to a main blog because sooner of later tumblr will mass ban all your blogs and you'll loose every thing and will have to start from scratch.
it works for custom domains, either buy a custom domain for your blog (not recommended) or buy a custom domain and hosting; make a good looking wordpress porn blog and redirect traffic from all your tumblr blogs to it.
really? They'll ban for JuicyAds? Yet, they allow Adsense? My theory is they only ban people who have multiple adult blogs posting the same material only to make money. I have been following many adult blogs for years with JuicyAds and they've been up. However, I see many spam porn blogs where the owner will make the same blog multiple times with the same template and pictures, then monetize them.
I'm curious if there's more concrete evidence on whether juicyads aren't allowed on tumblr because the only info on this is via online forums. I'm not too familiar with Plugrush, but that's something different right?
I suppose it could also be that some aren't labeled NSFW(?)
could also get a domain set up on smutnode and direct your traffic there with juicy ads and/or plugrush

Meet The Builders' General Family
Builders' General Supply Company was incorporated in 1931 by Shaheen A. Shaheen as a retail outlet for a general line of building materials in Cranford, New Jersey. In 1934, Shaheen was joined by his son, Victor, who after a few years became the president of the company and taking took over the active management with the help of his father. From that time on the company aggressively solicited new business and new products and developed a modern and well-established chain of building material yards with a reputation for service and quality products.
In 1970, Victor was joined by his son, Timothy, in 1970 who is now the president of the company. Tim and his brother Philip, who joined the firm as Vice President in 1979, recognized the need for a more diversified product line for the contractor as well the homeowner. Together They enlarged the existing two stores, Cranford and Little Silver (1978) and set up state-of-the-art showrooms, added new trucks, sales people, and actively promoted and sought out the latest in building materials.
The fourth generation of the family, Tim Jr. (1996), Mike (2001), and Phil Jr. (2003), now help in the operation of the business on a daily basis. The firm now operates a fleet of over 60 vehicles and employs over 140 people. The current four locations, Little Silver, Edison, Toms River and Freehold enable us to serve our customers over the entire state of New Jersey, as well as New York and Pennsylvania.
Some of the larger projects that BGS has supplied building materials for include Giants Stadium, Meadowlands Race Track, Newark Airport, multiple AT&T Headquarters, Atlantic City Casino's, Long Branch Boardwalk & Shops, and Newark, Hoboken & Jersey City inner city redevelopments projects, as well as our daily service to an existing general contractors and home builders of over 3000 customers.

September 21st, 2016
Engineering Science and Mechanics (ESM) is a program that has experienced a great deal of evolution through the years. Its purpose has always been central to the Ut Prosim mission of Virginia Tech, making it integral to the history of the university. Part of that history has involved a few renamings as the department has adapted to meet the needs of changing times. It started when Virginia Tech was only as old as the average grad student.
Experimental Engineering (and Applied Mechanics): 1908 - 1914
The engineering department of Virginia Agricultural and Technical College saw a significant growth in applied mechanics courses in the first fifteen years of its life. To adequately address the needs of these service courses, Experimental Engineering was created in 1908. Six years later, Applied Mechanics was added to the division name.
Applied Mechanics: 1932
The department reorganized in 1932, this time with another department known as Power Engineering and Machine Design. The result was two new departments: Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics. This clarified the administration of the mechanical engineering B.S. and M.S. programs and gave Applied Mechanics the oversight of service courses in applied mechanics, engineering materials, and aeronautics. Applied Mechanics expanded staff and programming as a result, eventually supporting all engineering programs with valuable hands-on experience critical to a high standard of excellence.
Engineering Mechanics: 1958
World War II brought about dramatic changes. The department provided courses for the Army Specialized Training Program, which helped to equip soldiers for the war effort and resulted in a much-needed boost to the student body as collegiate enrollment nationwide plummeted. When the War ended, expansion did not; in 1946 the department was issued the authority to grant master's degrees. The presence of that offering more clearly designated the program for engineers. Keeping the department true to its roots, the name was changed to Engineering Mechanics and the degree title followed in kind, establishing the master's and Ph.D. degrees which continue today.
1958 also saw the presenting of the first B.S. degrees in Engineering Mechanics with emphasis on mathematics and the physical and engineering sciences.
Engineering Science and Mechanics: 1972
Virginia Tech officially became a university in 1970, which caused the need for many amendments campus-wide. The Department of Engineering became a college, and a review of all programs became the natural side effect. In 1972, Engineering Mechanics was renamed Engineering Science and Mechanics as a department, with the undergraduate program also taking that label. The name held for the longest time in the department's history --a total of 42 years-- when it was combined with the small but growing Department of Biomedical Engineering in August of this year. The combination of these two disciplines (and indeed, there are many overlaps between them) resulted in the current department name, Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics.
The Growth of Biomedical
The history of ESM can be traced with the development of Virginia Tech. It has been an adaptable, flexible, and enriching department focused on preparing students for the uncertainties of the job market, grounded in the bedrock of engineering experience. Curiosity and innovation have been as closely connected to the path that graduates have chosen as math, science, and engineering have been. The results are scholars who have chosen careers with NASA, Michelin, DuPont, General Motors, the armed forces, and many others.
This most recent adaptation is no exception to the shaping of the program to its times. The Princeton Review calls Biomed one of the top 10 majors. US News names it one of the "11 Hot College Majors," and the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that the field will see a 62 percent growth in jobs between 2010 and 2020. The field is one of rapid growth, and Virginia Tech currently has no undergraduate programs in the area. It should come as no surprise that the department that was called upon to parallel this area of potentially explosive growth is the same department that has seen a steady flow of changes since its inception.
The justification goes further than the theoretical. Many faculty who teach in ESM are already doing work which directly impacts the biomedical and biomechanical fields. Research by faculty such as Jake Socha, Raffaella De Vita, Anne Staples, Mark Stremler, and others has for some time been a part of the educational and research landscape for the Virginia Tech-Wake Forest University School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences. With partnerships of that kind already existing, a formal coalescence was the next logical evolutionary development.

EE's wi-fi calling service allows you to make and receive phone calls even when a mobile signal isn't available.
Customers on EE Pay Monthly can benefit from more reliable calling and texting by taking advantage of EE's wi-fi calling service. Providing you have a compatible smartphone, this allows you to make and receive phone calls using only a wi-fi internet connection. This is great news for anyone who has patchy network coverage at their home or workplace (e.g if you're living in a rural area or basement flat). It also makes it possible to stay connected in new places: for instance, making phone calls from a London Underground station.
In this article, we review EE's Wi-Fi Calling service. We'll start by discussing how the service works, before looking at requirements like supported handsets and tariffs. We'll then look at the drawbacks of the service and at alternative services for improving your coverage on other mobile networks.
How does Wi-Fi Calling work?
Wi-Fi Calling is a service from EE that allows you to make and receive phone calls using a wi-fi internet connection. It means you're finally able to use your phone as normal even in the places where you lack a mobile phone signal.
Wi-Fi Calling is particularly useful for customers who have poor coverage at home or at work. As it can work on any wi-fi internet connection that's sufficiently fast, you can also use the service when out and about. For instance, customers in London can use Wi-Fi Calling whilst travelling on the Underground.
With Wi-Fi Calling, there is no need to install any additional applications: everything works through the normal dialler on your phone.
Whenever you're using EE's Wi-Fi Calling service, the network name displayed on your handset will be EE WiFiCall.
Supported Handsets
At present, EE's wi-fi calling service is available on the following compatible smartphones:
- Apple: iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c and iPhone SE
- BlackBerry: BlackBerry Dtek 50 and BlackBerry Priv
- EE: Harrier and Harrier Mini

For all handsets except from the Apple iPhone, it's a requirement that your handset was purchased directly from EE. This is because your handset needs to be running the EE-branded version of Android or Windows Phone. If your handset was purchased SIM-free, from another mobile network or from a third-party retailer like the Carphone Warehouse, it unfortunately won't be compatible with Wi-Fi Calling on EE.
If you're using an iPhone, it's not necessary for your handset to have been purchased from EE. However, you should make sure you're running version 8.3 or later of the iOS operating system (you can check your version of iOS by going to Settings > General > Software Update and making sure you have the latest available version). You should also ensure you have the latest version of the EE carrier settings. To do this, go to Settings > General > About and verify you have version 19.1 or newer of the EE carrier settings.

For step-by-step instructions on setting up your handset to work with Wi-Fi Calling, please see this help article on EE's website.
Supported Tariffs
You can use EE's wi-fi calling service if you have a Pay Monthly contract, a SIM-only deal or a EE business contract.
With all three, it's a requirement for your handset also to be compatible with wi-fi calling. For Pay Monthly and business contracts, a list of compatible handsets is available from EE. For SIM-only deals, you'll need to make sure by yourself that your handset is compatible (for Android and Windows Phone devices, an added complication is your handset must have been purchased directly from EE).
Wi-Fi Calling isn't currently available to customers on EE Pay As You Go.
|Tariff Type

Drawbacks & Limitations
There are a number of key drawbacks and limitations associated with the service:
- You can only use Wi-Fi Calling when you're in the UK. EE doesn't allow you to use Wi-Fi Calling when you're abroad in other countries. This is due to fears the service will cannibalise revenue from roaming.
- Phone calls might drop when you move out of the wi-fi coverage area. If you make or receive a phone call using wi-fi, the phone call might sometimes drop when you leave the range of that wi-fi network (this will happen if 4G Calling isn't available e.g. if your handset is incompatible with 4G Calling or if there's no coverage in your area).
- You must have bought your handset directly from EE (Android & Windows Phone only). If you're using an Android or Windows Phone device, Wi-Fi Calling will only work if your handset was purchased directly from EE. You won't be able to use Wi-Fi Calling on a SIM-free smartphone, or on smartphones from a third-party retailer like the Carphone Warehouse.
- You can't change certain network settings whilst connected to Wi-Fi Calling. If you're connected to the Wi-Fi Calling service, you won't be able to change the call waiting, call forwarding or withhold number settings (however, they'll continue to work as normal if you've already set them up). You'll need to disconnect from wi-fi if you'd like to change these settings.
Previously, there were several other quirks associated with the wi-fi calling service (e.g. it didn't work with Continuity on the iPhone and there was also no tone when you placed phone calls on hold). These quirks with the Wi-Fi Calling service have now been resolved.
Wi-Fi Calling is only available to customers on EE who have a compatible handset and tariff.
If you're a customer of another mobile network, you might be able to make use of one of the following alternatives:
- O2: On O2, you can download the TU Go application to make and receive phone calls over a wi-fi connection. As TU Go uses a separate application, it's less reliable compared to Wi-Fi Calling. Your call logs and text message chat histories are also kept separately within the TU Go application.
- Three: Customers on Three can use the inTouch application to make and receive phone calls on a wi-fi connection. Alternatively, it may also be possible to get a Home Signal box.
- Vodafone: Vodafone has a wi-fi calling service for compatible smartphones. For anyone using a non-compatible handset, it may also be possible to get a Vodafone Sure Signal.
Behind the scenes, Wi-Fi Calling is making use of GAN/UMA technology (also known as Generic Access Network or Unlicensed Mobile Access). Orange previously offered this service under the 'Signal Boost' brand (Orange UK is now a part of EE).
For more information on how to improve your coverage, please see our in-depth guide to mobile coverage in the UK.
Keeping Your Phone Number
EE's Wi-Fi Calling service makes use of your normal EE phone number (i.e. other people call you on your normal EE number and you can also call out to other people using your normal EE number).
If you'd like to switch to EE, it's easy to transfer your phone number from an old mobile network to EE. After doing this, you'll be able to benefit from EE's Wi-Fi Calling service.
You should start by ordering your new handset or SIM card directly on EE's website. Once you've done this, you can contact your old mobile network to ask them for a PAC Code. This is a nine-digit code that will authorise the transfer of your phone number to EE.
After receiving your new smartphone or SIM card from EE, you can head over to this online form. Here, you'll be able to submit your PAC Code to EE. Once you've done this, your phone number will normally be transferred to EE on the next working day.
For a step-by-step guide on moving your number to EE, please select your current mobile network from the drop down menu below:

The Game is handing $10,000 to the family of a little girl who was shot dead at the weekend (08Sep13) as part of his mission to give away $1 million of his own money by Christmas (Dec13).
The rap star has launched his so-called Robin Hood Project and hopes to give away cash to the needy - and one of his first acts of generosity will benefit Tiana Ricks' relatives as they attempt to pay for her funeral costs.
The six year old was killed on Sunday (08Sep13) after two men approached her family's home in Moreno Valley, California, and opened fire. The Dreams hitmaker read about the tragedy and admits he was devastated by reports suggesting the little girl turned to her father and asked if he was OK as she lay dying.
He tweeted, "This very sad story hit me in a place nothing ever has... Tiana did not know she was shot & kept asking was her father okay."
The Game has tracked down the family and is giving them $10,000 to help cover costs for Tiana's funeral on Saturday (14Sep13).
Tiana's mother Marquia Macklin tells TMZ.com, "Game told me that he heard about my story and was really sorry. He said that he wanted to help out and put me in touch with his financial team."
Authorities are still searching for those responsible for the shooting.

Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
Better to do something imperfectly than to do NOTHING flawlessly.
If you can forgive the person you were, accept the person you are, and believe in the person you will become, you are headed for joy.
You gain strength, courage, and confidence, by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the same which you think you can not do.
It's never too late to be what you might have been.
The measure of success is not whether you have a tough problem to deal with, but whether it's the same problem you had last year.
I lost almost 300 games. 26 ties. I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
Circumstances don't change us. The way we handle circumstances changes us.
Our lives improve only when we take chances - and the first and most difficult risk we can take is to be honest with ourselves.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all [humans] are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

If all states adopt the requirements for the regulation of Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs), as outlined in the Consensus Model for APRN regulation, the benefits will be far-reaching for consumers and health care workers. Consumers will better understand who an APRN is, what an APRN does and be confident that APRNs are consistently regulated from state to state for public protection. Current and future APRNs will have confidence in knowing that they don't have to meet different licensure requirements for difference states and that their education program is accredited and preparing them appropriately for certification and licensure into their advanced role. This full-length video describes the consensus model in-depth and shows the four different APRN roles in action.

Rice is big in the south, where it grows easily in temperate climes, but China's capital presides from the often-frigid north, where wheat is grown and filling tummy warmers such as dumplings and hand-pulled noodles are key staples to keeping happy in sub-zero temperatures. Don't leave the Chinese capital without trying these iconic Beijing dishes.
Peking roast duck (????, B?ij?ng k?oy?)
Beijing's most famous dish, Peking roast duck is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and served sliced. You'll be given light pancakes, into which you pile a slice of duck and accompanying sides like fermented bean paste, cucumbers and spring onions. Peking duck was first mentioned in royal cookbooks during the Yuan dynasty (13th century), but didn't come to the fore until the early 1900s, when former imperial cooks began opening roast duck restaurants outside the palace walls. To prepare the duck, chefs first inflate the bird by blowing air between the skin and body. They then prick the skin and pour boiling water over the duck. Some chefs add malt sugar to the skin so that it glows golden brown once roasted.
Dumplings (??, ji?ozi)
Dumplings have a delicate wheat-flour skin around warm, moist prawn or pork contents. More surprising ingredients include sweet corn and yam, while the perfect dumpling has a contrasting crunch of chestnut or garlic chives. The crescent-moon dumplings are served steamed, fried or in a soup, sold by the number of dumplings or weight – a ji?ng (about six dumplings) or bàn j?n (about 30, enough for two people or a solo dumpling fiend). Use your chopsticks to share from the one platter–the Chinese way. On your table you'll find black rice-vinegar and smoky chilli-oil to drizzle into your little dipping sauce dish. Be ready for the juicy dumpling contents to burst with flavour in your mouth. You'll be poured a hot bowl of ji?ozi t?ng, which is the broth in which dumplings are boiled and a mere palate cleanser for the next tasty morsel of love.
Zhájiàng noodles (???, Zhájiàngmiàn)
Firm, drained, hand-pulled wheat noodles are topped with minced-pork in a smoky yellow-soybean paste reduction in this classic Beijing noodle dish. To balance out the addictive saltiness of the chunky sauce, fresh vegetables are laid to the side – julienned cucumber, crunchy radish and, in modern Beijing, juicy bean sprouts or edamame (fresh soybeans). You lovingly turn the toppings through the noodles to reach the flavour-to-noodle ratio of your liking and quietly slurp away. Vegetarian versions swap the pork for tofu. Zhájiàng noodles is a much loved and copied dish – Koreans know it is as the ubiquitous jajangmyeon.

The whys of backache...
What we loosely term as spinal pain or backache arises from an unusually large number of different causes ranging from cancer to tiredness or even lethargy. Always consult your doctor before experimenting with yogic asanas. While some causes need medical intervention, yoga remains a tried and tested method to ameliorate common that forms the bulk of the complaints that plague people.
It's not about exercise alone!
Yoga requires discipline and is part and parcel of a holistic approach to mental and physical well-being. Before starting any asanas, you need to adhere to the yogic way of life.
● Get up early in the morning and drink a glass of plain water. Yoga is best practiced on a clean bowel and empty stomach.
● After performing the exercises, give your self a break of 15 to 20 minutes before bathing.
● You can choose a convenient time either in the morning or in the evening to perform the asanas, although you will find your body more flexible in the evening.
● Do ensure that you have not eaten anything for at least two hours before doing the exercises in the evening.
It's all about Posture!
The most important aspect of yoga is correct posture. Learn to stand and sit correctly and make it a habit to check and correct yourself during the day. Be conscious of how you carry yourself. Pull yourself erect, stand tall, sit tall and push your shoulders back. This automatically pushes your stomach in and immediately makes you look more streamlined. Expand your chest and breathe in deeply. Hold your breath for at least 10 counts. Breathe out through your mouth for 12 counts. This is the very step towards pranayama.

Comments by Dr. Murray Gardner:
A great example of the power of PCR to detect a tiny bit("needle in haystack") of extraneous DNA in the tumor DNA, thanks to availability of the Human Genome Database and software programs to match up tumor cDNAs with genomic sequences. The data is completely convincing because of the number of positive tumor specimens worldwide and the fact that the clonally-intergrated extraneous DNA is part of the polyomavirus oncogene ( T-Ag ). Using this strategy one can anticipate that " DNA footprints" of other ubiquitous members of our normal flora will show up in other strange places. But proving any biologic significance will be a tall order and PCR contamination will continue to haunt the scene -witness "HRV-5, "human MMTV" and "XMRV".

Late Registration
As with Old School, the begining of the Moron Test Late Registration is fairly simple. Touch the right buttons, note that the fruit doesn't belong with the animals and keep in mind the first hint. Don't trust the next notecard.
- slide 2 of 4
Are you Dumb?
You'll soon be through to what looks like a keypad where you have to dial 555-DUMB, it works like a regular keypad so it's 5553862.
Keep in mind the hint earlier where you're told to do the opposite of what the pesky grey notecards say - this is important all the way through, the first instance being when you reach the frogs. You will be asked to touch the biggest frog, touch the smallest on the left!
The next tricky part is touching the orange button 7 times. It will move after the fourth and fifth tap so do this slowly and don't be fooled into pressing it when it waits 5 seconds after you're done!
- slide 3 of 4
Getting Smarter
Here we come to the second jigsaw puzzle which is a little more difficult as the pieces are on a different screen than the picture, just hit bottom left and you'll pass to the next screen.
Now for maybe the most clever part of the test... You'll come to a clock with the instructions, set the time to 6.15, then touch the green clock. Now think outside the box, turn the phone upside down and that's the time set, it will turn green and add the numbers when you do this so just tap the clock.
See the picture to the left, in this scene you have to touch all of the blue buttons, be quick, be vigilant as they will (shock horror) move! It really isn't as easy as it looks so keep your eye on the buttons!
You'll soon be asked to press a red button 5 times. Again this moves and to confuse you even more it will be closely followed by an envelope. The trick to this is when it asks you to click on the note card don't be tempted to click the envelope by mistake!
- slide 4 of 4
Almost Done
Now the last part is where you'll feel the adrenaline and tension building after having to restart at least 5 times!
Getting a bit trickier you'll be asked to press the buttons 1 - 9, 8 will move and you'll need to tap the numbers 1 - 7 and then the space for 9 twice.
Thinking outside the box again you'll be asked to touch the triangle in the picture, but there is no triangle! The answer is simply to tap the triangle shape in the question and move on.
Here you'll get some more straightforward questions to relax you before getting a hint which is a jigsaw of a turtle with the bottom left piece missing, keep this in mind for later.
Tap the Jack in The Box and tap the giraffe to close it, and the next screen will ask you to touch the empty glass. Tip it upside down to empty it, tap it and you're nearly there!
Finally, the last screen is pieces of a jigsaw which you must complete from the last hint. Top right will do it and you've made it to genius!

This volume assembles new thinking on the theory, practice, and cultural value of the history of literary criticism. Focusing on a theme that has attracted relatively little developed theoretical commentary hitherto, the authors of these essays draw on specialist areas of critical history - and different kinds of problems - to illustrate the paradoxes that attend any attempt to write the history of critical writing. dimension of restoration criticism, the relations between poetry and criticism, and a test case in eighteenth-century criticism's reception aesthetics. Other essays consider relations between eighteenth-century critical and literary history, between romanticism and New Historicism, and the various ways in which present and past criticism is interrelated. In an introduction to the volume, the editor calls for a clearer confrontation with the representational issues of critical history by those who write about the critical past.This volume assembles new thinking on the theory, practice, and cultural value of the history of literary criticism.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A suicide bomber detonated his explosives belt in a market north of Baghdad on Saturday, killing 11 people and wounding 21 others, medical and police officials said.
The attack took place about 28 km (17 miles) north of the capital, between the towns of Tarmiyah and Mishahda. The area has been the scene of clashes between Iraqi forces and Islamic State (IS) fighters, who have taken control of large sections of northern and western Iraq this year.
In other violence, four Iraqi soldiers died in a friendly-fire incident in the town of Udiam, 90 km northeast of Baghdad.
The soldiers, who had been wounded by IS fighters, were being taken to hospital when Shi'ite militia volunteers who mistook them for insurgents fired a rocket-propelled grenade at their vehicle, police and medical officials said.

Dr Oz: Elvis Duran, Jason Derulo & Happy Place
Dr Oz was thrilled to welcome iHeartRadio DJ Elvis Duran and superstar Jason Derulo. Elvis went on his own health journey, losing half his body weight. Now, he's learning from other stars about how they ensure they're living a happy and healthy lifestyle, asking "what's your happy place?"
For Jason Derulo, his happy place is the gym. He explained that the natural high he gets from exercise is what guarantees a better life for him. Jason joked with Elvis that everyone has abs, it's just about getting rid of the "covering" to allow them to be seen.
