CTS Recommends New Smart Power Strip
In our effort to seek alternative ways to conserve energy and save resources, CTS conducted a test on the new Smart Power Strip product and recommends its use for desktop computers. Please not that this product does not work well for notebooks.
Automatically switches peripherals on and off
Saves money on utility bills
Protects equipment against power surges
How It Works
Computer peripherals, like printers, monitors, speakersand scanners continue to use energy even after they have been turned off. This is referred to as ?idle? current and whether or not your peripherals are being used,you continue to pay to power them. When the Smart Strip senses that your computer has been turned off, it automatically shuts down your peripherals preventing them from drawing an idle current.
For additional information on this product or to order, go to:
Keep in mind when ordering that the cost and the model will depend on the number of devices that will connect to the power strip.
Smart Strip Power Strip - SCG3, 4 switched outlets ($30)
Smart Strip Power Strip ? LCG4, 6 switched outlets ($40)
Instructional Evaluation Form Available
The SUNY Potsdam instructional evaluation form for student evaluation of teaching is available on the usual paper forms or through Blackboard.
In either venue,it is possible to add several questions of your choosing. If you are interested in sample optional questions, please indicate that when requesting the type of evaluation you are choosing. Responses to the Blackboard form are functionally equivalent to the paper forms: they will be made available to faculty members after grades are turned in to the Registrar's Office, are the property of the faculty member and cannot be accessed by administrators without the faculty member's permission. They may be used as evidence of teaching effectiveness in reappointment and other personnel decisions.
If you are interested in using either of these forms in your classes this semester, please contact the Provost's Office at x2108, or Patty Stone at email@example.com. If you are using the paper form, we need to know the total number of evaluations needed and the total number of sections in which you plan to use them. For the Blackboard version, we need to know the name and section of the course(s).

Dr. Duah headed the HIV clinic in Gouverneur between 1997 and 2005 and has been chair of the infection control clinic and HIV clinic at Samaritan Health Center in Watertown since 2005. She has devoted much of her medical career to addressing the needs of people who are HIV-positive.
She completed residencies and fellowships in infectious diseases and internal medicine at the University of Rochester and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, respectively. These two areas ? New York City and Rochester ? are epicenters of HIV infection in New York State and New York City is one of the 12 epicenters of HIV in the country.
Dr. Duahprovides primary care to people with HIV in the North Country so that they do not have to travel to Syracuse, Burlington or Albany for basic HIV medical services.
World AIDS Day is recognized each December 1 as the day when individuals and organizations from around the world come together to bring attention to the global AIDS epidemic. World AIDS Day is about raising money, increasing awareness, fighting prejudice and improving education.

Faculty Book Requisitions
Faculty Book requisitions spring of 2009 were due at The College Store in October. To date we have received about 40 percent of requisitions from faculty for the spring semester. If we do not receive faculty orders in a timely fashion, we cannot insure that student?s will receive the best price at buyback. If requisitions are not received it creates great confusion for students, because textbooks are not on the shelves when classes start. If we have faculty requisitions in, we will be able to purchase back books from students for next semester student use.
Faculty and StaffFlex Plan
Any faculty and staff participating in the plan will receive a 20 percent discount on the entry price to Lehman and save 7 percent (NYS sales tax) on all food purchases at all units. To enroll in the plan, set up a flex account with a minimum $50 balance at the PACES Business Office.

The Library also includes the College?s Archives and Special Collections, which collects and provides access to materials from the college?s nearly 200-year history. Student interns in the archives frequently have the opportunity to learn and work with the archival collections. The libraries of the Associated Colleges of St. Lawrence Valley collaborate for borrowing and professional development purposes.
The candidate for the Director of the College Libraries must have an ALA-accredited master?s degree in library science or information studies and a record of significant experience in college or university library service and administration, including supervision of library personnel.

See ya on the road!
Bike Preparations
I am about a month out from departure to Virginia and eventually Michigan & Canada. I just changed the oil and will do so one more time prior to leaving. I am guessing we will be traveling roughly 3,000 on this trip so that last oil change should last until I get home.
RTM has ordered new Avon Tyres for me. I put nearly 8,000 miles on this set and could not be happier. They are just great tires. I love the way they grip when cornering and they gave me about 3,000 more miles than the OEM tires.
Thanks to Sue & Steve at Hudson Valley Motorsports Parts (hvmp.com) for my new bar-end weights. Riding the Blast is, well, a blast. However it is a single cylinder "thumper" and definitely has vibration. The HVMP bar-end weights not only look great, they significantly reduce hand/wrist fatigue.
I have been riding every day to work which means more traffic laden roads (think lots of clutch work). Where my fingers used to get sore, numb and tingly – NO MORE! Thumper is even considering a set for his new FJR 1300. If you ride, you should have a set of HVMP bar-end weights – they will make your ride more comfortable and your hands will thank you.
Hhhmmmm, can't wait to hit the road!
The plan was to be on the road by early afternoon. Clinic on Thursday is usually
done by 11 or 12.Well, as luck would have it, it was a never ending clinic and I
did not get out until after 2:00.
The luck continued. The drought we had been experiencing decided to take
this afternoon to abate and the rain came on with a vengeance. It figures –
months with no rain and it picks "my afternoon" to let it loose.
I went to check the radar again, thinking the green blob would magically disappear.
It did not. Might as well run some errands.
Thumper decided to check the radar again. He had the special touch. This time
the green blob did magically, well, move. A little. Was enough for me. Off we
were at 6:30. Rain suits on, gassed and ready to go.
Odometer reading: 14, 879
At 109 miles my Buell decided to sputter and I had to switch to reserve. This
was unusual - 150 miles is the mark I look for to hit reserve. Is it the extra weight
from the bag? Wind? 80 MPH constant speed? Or all of the above? Will find
out when we exit the big road and hit the two lane highways we love so much.
By 10:15 we arrived in
prepare for tomorrow. I have a feeling that green blob will be back.
Hi Hapi – here we are in our room at the
with you…..
Hot Spot or Hot Tub?
When I last left you we had made it up to
From there we picked up 60 north, to GA 5 which becomes TN 68 when it crosses the state line. This is a "green dot" road, which Rand McNally translates to scenic drive. And boy was it ever. Mountain curves, up and down, in and out. It was my first taste of putting the Buell through it's paces and it was an absolute Blast! Until that green blob showed up. Yep – it happened. The rain reappeared and there was nowhere to go accept onward. Just outside of
We scooted down the mountain with them and when the clouds became a little more ominous, we followed them into the Tellico Plains Café. It was obvious they knew the area well. We took cover while the storm blew overhead. Bill and Chuck were great company and had many cycle tales to tell. (Thanks for the company guys!) When the rain let up to just a sprinkle we continued on our way into Sweetwater.
I would have posted this last night but when we had our choice of a hot spot (internet connection) or hot tub, and you have just ridden over 500 miles, well, the hot tub won out. Had a nice chat with William and Cheryl at the hotel, nice folks from
This morning we continued our northerly trek. I wanted to follow 27 north to 150 west in
Donated my dollar to the fire department in
We stopped for a beverage somewhere around
And finally, we made a little detour to find a hotel in
Tomorrow we head for the Ohio river to cross into

We found it! Yep, we hit the road in the cool morning temps. Way cool for The Magster – I was forced to put my cool weather pants on, just not used to 50 degree mornings with no humidity. After roaming the

Sunday June 4 –
Monday June 5, 2006
I love it when something works out the way you want it to. I am learning to work with new tools to help us navigate the countless beautiful back country roads we love to travel. I utilize the traditional old style map/atlas along with the new technology of a GPS. This enables me to plug in a projected route each morning and then ride worry free that you will not get lost. And even if you do, the good old GPS will get you out of any bind you find yourself in. This lets you really get off the main roads and traverse rural roads through farmland and small towns.
We found ourselves riding through northern Indiana Amish country. This was Thumper's first experience seeing the simple way these people live and he was taken aback by it. Little or no electricity, no cars or motorized farm equipment.
You start seeing farmers in the fields with horses pulling the plows, long bearded men riding bicycles. Women wearing plain dresses with hair tucked neatly under a bonnet hanging clothes up to dry. You have to admire the tenacity to persevere in this uncomplicated way of life in the face of modern day technology.
At the Blue Gate Restaurant & Bakery we had a delicious homemade lunch of beef & noodles, followed by fresh made apple dumplings with vanilla and cinnamon ice-cream. I can't begin to describe how great this meal was. Served by friendly Amish young men & women eager to please. Fresh bread was served with homemade apple butter and peanut butter mixed with maple syrup, brown sugar and honey – indescribable.
We had made it! The little Buell Blast had travelled over 1,400 miles to haul the Magster all the way back to her
After riding 1,400 to get to
Tomorrow – I think I will go to Hell.
666 – Once in a Lifetime! That would translate to 6/6/2006. The local and national news would do their best to make more of the day than what it most likely deserves. So what to do on this infamous day? Well, go to Hell I suppose. That is where all the media folks were hanging out. So with the help of my Mom – I plug a route into the GPS and off we go. "Have fun in Hell" I hear her call out as we ride off. Hhhmm, that sounded just a bit sarcastic.
The road into Hell is paved, but very rough. As it meanders through small and large farms, the aroma of dairy farms (ya gotta love it!) permeates the air. It weaves back and forth under a canopy of trees before eventually arriving in the city of
Cars line the roads, TV cameras and vans fill the parking lot. Before long hoards of people are gathered all attempting to get their hands on one of the limited edition t-shirts that proclaim "666 – Once in a Lifetime". They only printed 666 of them. You can buy tons of stuff for just $6.66 all emblazoned with the Hell Fire logo.
The Devil himself was there. Yep, he too is a biker. Saw him myself. Even took of picture of him, I wasn't scared! He was actually kind of nice. All the reporters clambered for the opportunity to interview him. What a story, interview the Devil, while he sits proudly on his chopper in Hell on 6/6/06.
We met members of the metal band ANIDYNE – they didn't appear to be afraid of the Devil either. They were just hanging out in the shade (yes, it was hot in Hell) watching the spectacle as people waited in line for hours just to nab a piece of history in Hell.
We made it out of Hell intact (Thank God). Rode to
On to Joe's Gizzard City Inn in Potterville. This is the town where I grew up and my first apartment was in the next block over from Joe's. We were fortunate enough to chat with Little Joe Bristol who took over the bar from his dad, Big Joe (of course!). We hope to still be in town next weekend when he plays the host for the annual Gizzard Fest.
Until tomorrow, I am still alive, still riding and still having a blast! Mmm
PS: Thanks to my buddy Phil and sister Tonia for taking care of my two furry little children at home, Bonnie & Clyde. Tonia even helped them post a message to me in the guest book. My love to you both, Mommy will be home soon, be good!.

It was raining over night.
It was raining in the morning.
It was raining all day long
and then it started storming.
The bikes they did not move
the covers left in place
I'm sitting here unhappy
with a frown upon my face.
Tomorrow it should clear
with the sun all warm and bright
Then off I'll go down the street
smiling with delight!
Happy Trails :)
Irish Eyes Are Smiling
You will see the pictures of the old bridge just outside of Eaton Rapids,
I had another animal encounter with a dog when we stopped to check out the map/GPS near
We came across a HD/Buell dealership in Tecumseh along a lonely stretch of road and could not resist pulling in to have a look around. The store was awesome. They had several old/classic bikes on display which made the stop completely worthwhile. Met Bill (see pic) in the parking lot who was nice enough to tell us about Pete's Garage – the local bike hangout.
We found our way to
Later we took full advantage of the sauna, hot tub and pool and then fell into bed exhausted. Tomorrow was another day.
When we awoke in the morning and looked out the window I could not believe what I was seeing. There was a white car parked in the lot and it was covered nearly black. So too the truck and trailer parked nearby. I prayed my bike's cover would not hold the same surprise for me. My prayers did not work. The bugs were on everything. Everywhere. Even the ground. They crunched under our feet as we made our way to the bikes. They were easy enough to shake off but they still gave me chills. I was told they are fish flies. As they get worse. This was just beginning. I will take love bugs any time over this – I could not imagine having to try and get into a car that is covered. Eeeewww
Venturerider.org is the place (internet) to meet great folks, mostly Yamaha Venture riders but not exclusively. These people not only love to ride but also love to share in the camaraderie that brings motorcyclists together. So it goes without saying that once they knew we would be in
Personally I was just a bit afraid. The last time we hooked up with the folks from
So naturally I thought they would want to get even. Instead they took us on a wonderful tour of the Ford Motor Company grounds & through
We meandered through the Irish Hills and saw Michigan International Speedway in
The ride ended in
I hated to see the day end. Al, Diane, Eddy, Denny & Daren - Thanks for a great day. See you in August at the Tail of the Dragon ride at
Spent the last couple of days riding around south central Michigan. Saturday we visited Grand Ledge and went to see The Ledges. These are rock formations that history says used to be part of a huge underwater cavern system.
Met Billy & Marty there. These two guys have a passion and dream themselves. Just as it was my destiny to ride from Florida to Michigan on my little 500cc bike, they are on a quest to play all the "Disc Golf" courses in Michigan. In case you have never heard of this sport, we hadn't, it is golf by way of a Frisbee. The rules are the same as golf, each hole has a par and you score just like in golf. They are serious players – even used different discs of varying weights, just as you would choose a club. Hey Phil – wanna change your game around a little? Thumper said he would go disc golfing with ya!! You will see photos of Billy & Marty in the photo album.
Then it was off to Ron & Val Clewley's for rest and relaxation. They have a beautiful home that is situated at the edge of a cornfield. This is my definition of heaven. Peaceful and beautiful – we truly enjoyed the company. Ron, the Master Griller, cooked up burgers and dogs and everybody brought a dish. Unfortunately the photographer was too busy doing other things and she neglected to do her job. I am sorry gang – we had a great time, but I have no photos to prove it. Thanks for your hospitality - and for having us over.
Sunday we met up with my sister Sherrie her husband Eric again. Eric and fellow riders from The Bloodbrothers, Bob & Melissa, Chris & Carry took us on a great ride through the country and then on to lunch.
Later we were privileged to have my niece and nephew along for a ride. John boarded Thumpers ride and Elainnie jumped on back with me (brave girl) and off we went to Thornapple Lake. It was a great way to end the evening.
Monday we head north to see my older brother Mike and catch up with his better half Karen and son Ryan and his girlfriend Ashley. Then off to Mackinac Bridge and the U.P.
Happy Trails
Wednesday June 14, 2006 8:50 PM
We have had a couple of very busy days. Spent Monday morning just meandering north towards Clare and Farwell, where my brother Mike lives. Made it to Clare and was lucky enough to get my nephew Ryan on the phone and hook up for pizza.
Ryan was very knowledgeable about local history and when we asked about a good hotel he was quick to suggest the Motel Dougherty. Rumor has it that during the days of the Purple Gang they used to hang out at the Motel Dougherty and that there are tunnels under the motel used as escape routes. Ryan even had a friend in school who lived in a house which had one of these tunnels that connected to the Dougherty.
After relaxing in the hot tub we rode out to Mike's house. He lives in a beautiful home in Farwell. While deciding on dinner the conversation turned to deer and wouldn't you know it, just then a little doe walked right into the street in front of the house. I decided it was time to go back to the motel and park the bike.
Mike & Karen picked us up and we met up with Ryan & Ashley for a great dinner at Yackies Riverside Grill.
Tuesday we got an early start – we were both excited about our destination –
It was awesome! First we stopped for a pre-crossing photo-op and then it was off to ride the bridge. I had always dreamed of riding a motorcycle across the
Odometer: 17,303, just about 2,424 miles since leaving Wesley Chapel.
Back across the river we stopped at the Dixie Saloon in
At the local IGA we ran into Phillip & Paul who where riding to Milwaukee. In a most interesting journey – they were going to put their bikes on a ferry which goes across Lake Michigan and lands them right in Milwaukee – how cool!
At JR's Tailgate we met Ruth and Calvin. They are there on his custom made motorcycle, which he gladly allowed me to sit on for a photo-op.
Wednesday we headed down the coast on M119 and M22 – through
Tomorrow we head back to
Special hello, hugs and kiss to Gaynell McKenzie - Thumps Mom & Hapi
We miss all our buddies back home – Trent, Marisol, Ben, Amy, Phil, Tonia, Kevin, Toshia, Clayton, Bobby, Dale, Ralph, Amanda, Shea, Shelly & all the Bloated Goat Gang, Glenn & Kelly & all our friends at Hog Pen – we will be home soon!
Saturday June 17
Friday we rode all day. We made it from
The last part of the day was on
Today we will be heading generally south on
66 ends in
Plan is to be home by Monday or Tuesday.
Sending a hello out to Wanda, Allen and to Crystal and Scarlett at Bloated Goat Saloon!
Hi Hi Seka & Bob Elliott
Hi Mom, Hi Dad
Hello to Eric, Brian & Tom at RTM - will need to see you when I return!
Monday June 19, 2005
Yeah – I know here it is just two o'clock and we have already called it a day. Many reasons. We rode about 250 miles, the rains were catching up to us and heck, we just wanted to spend one last night pampering ourselves in the hot tub.
It was a great journey. The ride down
Sunday found us among some of the most congested areas we have traversed so far due to the tourist factor. Cherokee, NC is beautiful, but very crowded. We decided against hanging out and continued on down the road.
By late afternoon we had made it half way through
This morning we headed south on 129. This road, heading north is the same road that Trent & Marisol will be riding come Tuesday – Deals Gap – where 129 crosses from North Carolina into Tennessee, The Dragon – 318 curves in 11 miles – have fun guys!
Tomorrow this trip ends but the memories of the journey live on in our minds continuously as we plan and prepare for our next adventure.
When it is all said and done….
The Buell performed magnificently. The only problem, a minor one, was when the carb boot came off and needed to have the clamp tightened down.
Departing odometer reading: 14,879
Final odometer reading: 19,100
Total trip mileage: 4,221
We visited
And I am ready to do it all over again.
To all those we met on the road – thanks for the memories, meeting new friends like you is what makes motorcycle travel so much fun.
Thanks for hanging with me. Keep a watch on the site, you never know where I'll be next,
Maggie Mae
Final Note:
On every trip there is a guardian angel - on this trip it was
Terry & his Wife!
We met Terry two and a half weeks ago as we were preparing to
depart for Michigan. Tonight Terry & his Wife informed the desk
clerk I had inadvertently switched my ignition too far and left the
running lights on. Thanks you two for your thoughtfulness
and kindness.
Happy Trails....

Get your hair to know
It is extremely important for you to understand the cycle of hair. There are three steps in your hair growth cycle: anagen, catagen and telogen.
Anagen - When a new strand is formed in the follicle.
Catagen - If the lower two-thirds of the hair is destroyed.
Telogen - If the hair enters the resting phase waiting to be pushed up by the fresh strand in the follicle.
The last phase "telogen" is when the hair falls out. Generally, 10 to 15% of our hair is in its final phase. However, because of many reasons, sometimes a majority tends to jump the telogen phase. This is when we meet hair loss problems and hair loss.
Get to the root
If you experience a lot of hair loss and baldness, watch yourself and test your hair loss level. Be aware of what is going on your head. First, you should be the doctor of yourself in the root and try to solve the problem. There can be various causes of the problem. Only professional help will help you to identify and control the earliest your exact problem. This professional is ArganRain. It is specially made to prevent hair loss and to look your hair well. Take advantage of this professional help. The effectiveness is tested.
Eat healthy
Excess hair loss and quick hair thinning, both of which are signs of poor health. It is also an indication for you to start eating right. Watch out for more of what you eat. Include more of vitamins A, B, C & D-rich foods in your diet. Protein, iron and zinc must also be involved.
Massage the scalp regularly
Regular massage is a must for healthy hair. The blood circulation by massage helps to carry nutrients to the scalp. Use different oils such as argan and pay attention it to be natural and safe like ArganRain.

Turning a Temporary Skeleton Into a Work of Art - Moffett's Hangar 1
Courtesy NASA:
NASA's Hangar 1: Among the world's largest freestanding structures
Hangar One is one of the world's largest freestanding structures, covering 8 acres (32,000 m2). The hangar was constructed in 1931. It is a Naval Historical Monument and a State of California Historic Civil Engineering Landmark. In May 2008, The National Trust for Historic Preservation listed Hangar One on their list of America's "Most Endangered Places". NASA's Ames Research Center is currently evaluating bids to lease the hangar and Moffett Federal Airfield.
In this image, Hangar One is set in blue courtesy of event planners and sponsors of the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics and Life Sciences event held in December 13, 2013 at Moffett Federal Airfield in California.
Moffett Field's "Hangar One" (built during the Depression era for the USS Macon) and the row of World War II blimp hangars are still some of the largest unsupported structures in the country. The airship hangar is constructed on a network of steel girders sheathed with galvanized steel. It rests firmly upon a reinforced pad anchored to concrete pilings. The floor covers eight acres (32,000 m²) and can accommodate Six (6) (360 feet x 160 feet) football fields. The airship hangar itself, measures 1,133 feet (343 m) long and 308 feet (93 m) wide.
The building has aerodynamic architecture. Its walls curve upward and inward, to form an elongated dome 198 feet (60 m) high. The clam-shell doors were designed to reduce turbulence when the Macon moved in and out on windy days. The "orange peel" doors, weighing 500 tons (511.88 tons) each, are moved by their own 150 horsepower motors operated via an electrical control panel.
The airship hangar's interior is so large that fog sometimes forms near the ceiling. A person unaccustomed to its vastness is susceptible to optical disorientation. Looking across its deck, planes and tractors look like toys. Along its length maintenance shops, inspection laboratories and offices help keep the hangar busy. Looking up, a network of catwalks for access to all parts of the structure can be seen. Two elevators meet near the top, allowing maintenance personnel to get to the top quickly and easily.
Narrow gauge tracks run through the length of the hangar. During the period of lighter-than-air dirigibles and non-rigid aircraft, the rails extended across the apron and into the fields at each end of the hangar. This tramway facilitated the transportation of an airship on the mooring mast to the airship hangar interior or to the flight position. During the brief period that the Macon was based at Moffett, Hangar One accommodated not only the giant airship but several smaller non-rigid lighter-than-air craft simultaneously.
USS Macon (ZRS-5) was a rigid airship built and operated by the United States Navy for scouting and served as a "flying aircraft carrier", designed to carry biplane parasite aircraft, five single-seat Curtiss F9C Sparrowhawk for scouting or two-seat Fleet N2Y-1 for training. In service for less than two years, in 1935 Macon was damaged in a storm and lost off California's Big Sur coast, though most of the crew were saved.

This was written for a show at the UCB Theater LA called PIMP'D - I had a week to write on the topic of "Duck Blind" - I liked it enough to put it here.
For those of you who don't know, and some of the people I've spoken to about this in the last week haven't, a duck blind is a bench or hut camoflauged into its surroundings where hunters can lie in wait to shoot ducks as they fly or swim by. As far as I can tell, the need for a duck blind is predicated on the belief that human intelligence, opposable thumbs, and a pump-action shotgun do not present enough of an advantage over the ducks.
Modern hunting can no longer even charitably be called a sport. As exemplified by the strange cavalcade Dick Cheney was on when he unfortunately shot his colleague in the face, modern hunting has become the real-life equivalent of playing a video game in god mode. IDDQD, anyone? For those of you who never played DOOM, IDDQD was the magic string of characters that when typed into the keyboard made you invulnerable to damage.
I played DOOM. I played a lot of DOOM. I had to stop playing DOOM when I found myself walking through a dog-leg in the corridor of an office building, very much in the real world, cradling an imaginary weapon in my arms and trying to remember if it was the super-shotgun or the chaingun. That was a cusp moment for me, that was the moment I realized that the imaginary world of the game had changed the way I parsed real-world stimuli, that I had by playing six hours of DOOM a night for several weeks, started a process of conditioning myself into a well-trained, effective, and ruthless killing machine.
So I stopped. I quit the DOOM. I had to, or face a life in which my morals and ethics were so compromised by my self-imposed Pavlovian training that my only career option would have been hired assassin or possibly political operative for the Florida Republican Party. And unfortunately, it seems to me that this is a lesson the modern hunter seems to have yet to learn.
Modern hunting is no longer about Robert De Niro exorcising his Vietnam demons on a mountaintop, working carefully for that one clean shot. Modern hunting is all about overkill, Dick Cheney shooting 75 birds that have been raised, trained, stunned, and finally set aloft all for that meaningless coup de grace. People were shocked when Cheney accidentally shot his friend, but the real obscenity here was not that accident, as horrific as it was. The real tragedy is that we have walking among us men who are so desensitized to the pointless pain that they cause that they might as well be in god mode, invulnerable, unfeeling, and ultimately as dead inside as the things they shoot.
Perhaps we would all be better served by laws that force those who hunt to do it naked, pink and smooth. Send Cheney and his pals into the swamps in nothing but loincloths, smeared with duckfat, and crazed with hunger. Give them only small sharp flints, the tools of our ancestors, and perhaps that might teach them some respect for the lives they now take with such glib abandon. I don't think that the caveman had any sympathy for his game, life was too short and hard back then for such niceties, but I do think that he had respect for the sacrifice. I never thought I would agree with Ted Nugent on much, but the Motor City Madman and I are of one mind on this, that turning hunting from a communion with our forebearers and a meditation on the circle of life into a giant video game where players roam free and armed in the real world, where pheasants are pimped out and hove directly into their view for the killing, where the clay pigeons are made real and bloodlust is to strong a word for the pale, anemic prancings these tired old men call sport, that this change is nothing but a shame on being a man.
As for me, I'll have a Porterhouse, medium rare, and a side of duck sausage.
Thank you very much.

Brief Drawing
( Originally Published 1912 )
A KNOWLEDGE of brief-drawing is of great practical value to the man who would argue with force and effectiveness. It enables him to grasp his subject as a whole, to fasten it securely in his mind, and to present it in clear and logical order to others. A brief is divided into three parts, as follows :
The Introduction, which should clearly state the issue, explain the proposition, or define the terms of the discussion that is to follow.
The Discussion, which sets forth the arguments and proofs to be offered. This constitutes the main portion of a speech. The order should be climactic, leading from the known and conceded to the unknown and disputed.
The Conclusion, which sums up, or reviews, the essential points already enumerated in the discussion.
Before attempting to draw a brief, these rules should be carefully fixt in the mind.
Rule I. ; Set down each statement by itself.
Rule II, Make each statement clear and concise.
Rule III. Place your principal ideas as main headings.
Rule IV. Place your subordinate ideas as sub-headings.
Rule V. Indicate each and every statement by a separate symbol.
The brief is not the speech. It is a skeleton, plan, framework, or outline, which enables one to arrange his material in clear, logical, and effective order, before actually writing the speech itself. In this way much useless labor is obviated. The procedure is not unlike that of an architect and his drawings. He carefully plans every part of his building, and by means of specifications orders just the material required for his purposes. What would be said of a mail who should proceed to erect a building without any clearly defined plans? Yet the majority of men prepare a speech in precisely this way. They take a few sheets of paper, rest the head against one hand, and then commit to writing the ideas that ramble through their mind, without any special regard to order or system. The result is that the speech is usually a confused mass of material, lacking in force, clearness and cohesion. Such a speech, when delivered, is equally obscure and confusing to the listener, so that failure is not an uncommon result of such efforts.
The habit of brief-making teaches a man to be thorough and deliberate in the preparation of his speeches. It trains him to systematize his mental material: to arrange it in the most advantageous order, and to exclude everything irrele want and immaterial. Brief-making is particularly valuable to the business man who has important letters to frame and dictate. It is valuable to every man who aims to marshal his arguments in writing, conversation, or in public speaking, as to convince others—and win.
Hereunder are given two specimen briefs, showing the affirmative side of one subject and the negative side of another. These will be of suggestive value to the student, and should enable him to make further briefs of his own.
A. The suffrage should be extended to woman, because
(1) She is the subject of political rights.
(2) Her capacities and claims are equal to those of men.
(3) The franchise is an element of good citizenship.
A. The suffrage would make woman a power for good politics, since
(1) She would have a direct interest in local and national questions.
(2) She would help to make better laws.
(3) Her sphere and influence would broaden.
B. The suffrage granted to woman would better safeguard the home, since
(1) She knows best the needs of the home.
(2) She has the most vital interest in the children.
(3) She has the greatest interest in moral education.
C. It is not a valid argument against woman-suffrage to say that
D. It is not a valid argument to say a woman is well represented by her husband, for
(1) Representation by others can not be an adequate substitute for personal responsibility.
(2) There are many . unmarried women with property rights.
(3) Taxation and representation should go together.
(4) Women prefer to safeguard their own interests.
(1) Some women are indifferent to it, or
(2) They would not exercise it if they could, for
(3) The same may be said of many men.
E. It can not be maintained that women are deficient in public spirit, as shown by their
(1) Widespread philanthropic work.
(2) Books and writings,
(3) Ability to discuss the questions of the day.
A. The suffrage should be extended to woman, because
(1) It is her natural right.
(2) It is part of her citizenship.
(3) It would increase her power for the general good.
(4) It would enlarge her influence.
(5) It would better safeguard the home.
(6) It would give her just representation.
B. The suffrage granted to woman would be a guarantee of
(1) Better laws.
(2) More efficient education.
(3) Elevated political and morality.
(4) An ideal community.
NEGATIVE BRIEF FOR A SPEECH Subject :
A. Capital punishment has been sanctioned by custom from the earliest times, and
(1) This is a presumption in its favor.
(2) It is not brutalizing in the eyes of the public, since
(3) Many men approve it.
A. Capital punishment acts as a deterrent to murder, as
(1) Most men fear such punishment, and
(2) Would prefer imprisonment for life.
B. If guilty men escape, it is not a valid argument against the law, because
(1) (1)This is due to improper enforcement, and
(2) Is a reason for a more rigid application of ..the law.
C. Capital punishment is sanctioned by the Bible, as
(1) "Who sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed." (Genesis 9: 6.)
(2) Other Bible passages.
D. It safeguards the community in numerous ways, as from
(1) Private revenge and
(2) Anarchy.
E. Capital punishment should be ex-tended,
(1) To reach every man guilty of murder, and
(2) To make him fear the law as inevitable.
Capital punishment should not be abolished, because
(1) It is expedient.
(2) It is just.
(3) It relieves society of a pest.
(4) It is in keeping with tradition.
(5) It upholds the sanctity of human
B. Punishment should be neither reformatory nor vindictive, but preventive, for
(1) Great crimes demand severe punishment, since
(2) You can not reform a criminal by leniency, and
(3) Our prisons are not reformatory.

A crew of cleanup workers swept through the blighted Lexington Terrace public housing project in West Baltimore yesterday, two days before the arrival of a special one-night tenant -- Mayor Kurt L. Schmoke.
The mayor is scheduled to visit the project tomorrow evening to speak with tenants about the rundown conditions they live with. But he may not see the worst.
Maintenance crews from the Housing Authority were dispatched the project from other jobs yesterday to haul away tons of trash, board up broken windows and vacant apartments and sweep up dirt, they said.

In my opinion, by far one of the most annoying parts of being an adult is renting. You're always scouting places, calculating when your lease is up and possibly debating if having a private elevator is worth eating nothing but Ramen noodles for the rest of your life (it's not). That's not even mentioning the prospect of weird roommates and/or weird landlords.
They say the #1 rule of real estate is location, location, location. When it comes to rent, this couldn't be more true. Assuming that the average rent payment is around $1,000 per month, it's actually surprising just how much or how little that amount can get you in different parts of the country. Here's a little breakdown of how far that money gets you all around this great nation of ours.
Brooklyn, New York - $1,000

New York, New York - $960
Size: Unlisted, but tiny by the look of it.
Neighborhood: Little Italy.
Amenities: Central air ... that you share with a pre-existing roommate. New York, New York: it's a heck of a town, just not for real estate prices.
Portland, Oregon - $1,275
Size: One-bedroom apartment.
Neighborhood: Belmont.
Amenities: Microwave and dishwasher included, convenient location to public transport, and the off chance you may see Fred Armisen shooting "Portlandia" some day.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin - $1,075

Larry Young (org), with Joe Holiday, Bill Leslie, Jimmy Forrest (ts), Thornel Schwartz (g), Wendell Marshall (b), Jimmie Smith (d)
Reference: FSRCD 871_2
Bar code: 8427328608718
Larry Young (1940-1979) started off in the early 60s as a soul-jazz organist, and the three albums included on this 2-CD setTestifying, Young Blues, and Street Groove, are his first as a leader.
Recorded in 1960 and 1962 for the New Jazz/Prestige label, they document a period when the 20 year old organist was starting to establish a name for himself in the jazz scene. On a set of warmly swinging, thoroughly grooving performances, Young is in an astounding, persuasively blues-tinged mood, while guitarist Thornel Schwartz and drummer Jimmie Smith are the personification of steady and sympathetic support, consistently augmented with the addition of bassist Wendell Marshall in Young Blues. Tenor saxophonist Joe Holiday can be heard on two of the tunes of Testifying, while Bill Leslie sets the right mood for Groove Street.
As a bonus, this set includes five tracks from Forrest Fire, another 1960 record date with Young and his trio act as backing for the solid blowing of the full-bodied tenor of Jimmy Forrest. These sessions, relaxed and unpretentious, are the epitome of swing-rooted, soulful jazz.

Stereo · 24-Bit Digitally Remastered
"Before he became known as The John Coltrane of the B3 Larry Young was a groovemeister in the vein of Jimmy Smith. This 2-CD set from Fresh Sound Records have him with his working trio of Thornel Schwartz/g, Jimmie smith/dr as well as guests Wendell Marshall/b and Jimmy Forrest/ts in a toe tappers heaven from 1960-62.
Young and company preach like a Baptist minister on Testifying, bop like Diz on Wee Dot and sing like Pagliacci on Flamingo with Schwartz showing some sleek moves on Exercise for Chihuahuas. With Marshalls bass adding some oomph the team does some snappy work on Horace Silvers Nicas Dream and sound wonderfully mysterious on African Blues and Minor Dream. Bill Leslie adds his tenor sax and greases up on Getting Into It and Sweet Lorraine and Jimmy Forrest rolls in like the fog on Bags Groove and Dexter Deck. How can you not believe in an all wise God when the sound of the tenor sax and B3 can only be described as heaven sent? Goes down like Texas BBQ Brisket at Franklins."
George W. Harris (October 19, 2015)
"On Testifying and When I Grow Too Old To Dream you can already hear Young squeezing together blues tonalities and exploring with the strange, whole-step intervals that became part of his fully mature language on the classic 1965 Unity and with Tony Williams' Lifetime.
These earlier sessions aren't just workmanlike organ trio jazz. Though Groove Street seems like a tactical withdrawal into commercial orthodoxy, the superb early sets are a good illustration of Young's attempt to replace the prevailing Jimmy Smith style with something of John Coltrane's new harmonic approach. It's not always successful but despite the youth of the group, with Schwartz the hardened veteran at 30 and an effective soloist, there's nothing gimmicky or overtly experimental. The drummer, just off a gig with B. B. King, is solid and assertive. Young himself played it the way he heard it, and even his most abstract tone clusters and odd switches between upper and lower manuals are functional and determined by musical need.
The saxophones generally contribute to a more conservative sound, but they're only sparingly deployed on the first CD. On Groove Street and the bonus Forrest Fire, which is the saxophonist's date, they're inevitably more prominent. The only moan is the totally unnecessary spill of a single track from Young Blues onto the second disc, leaving it so oversubscribed that one track (When Your Lover Has Gone) has had to be dropped from Forrest Fire. That's not a major loss in itself, but it slightly spoils the ending of Young Blues. It's not clear why Young chose to work with a bass player on that album but Marshall was a superb choice and allows Young to range more freely in his upper registers."

The Aquanot Series pumps incorporate a heavy duty 12 volt motor, at the top of a stainless steel column and shaft with a non corrosive base assembly, that is able to discharge water as fast as many primary/main pumps. The Aquanot II includes a positive contact float switch, and a pump alarm. The outlets of these pumps are 1-1/2" FIPT and with the use of a male adapter easily adaptable to PVC or ABS plastic piping.
The Aquanot II equipped with automatic electronic 28 amp charger to maintain and recharge battery.
28 amp charger uses 3.5 amp AC input with 12 volt DC output which allows the Aquanot II pump to operate as a back-up pump for an extended time in case of primary pump failure.
Zoeller offers a 3 year limited warranty that is valid only when a complete system is purchased and used for backup to a primary dewatering system. A complete system includes an Aquanot II model 585 pump and an Aquanot® battery. Batteries are not included with the Aquanot® systems and must be purchased separately.
View Aquanot II pump performance chart
The Basement Sentry I and Aquanot 508 12 volt DC pumps are sold just as the back-up pump. The primary pumps are sold separately so you can add this back up pump system to your existing sump pump. The Basement Series 12 volt DC pumps are designed for emergency backup use in clear water sump pumps when the primary AC powered pump or pumps fail to turn on. Primary pumps can fail due to power outages during storms or brownouts, or because of wiring and electrical problems, mechanical malfunction or obstructions in the pit. The 12 volt DC pump will turn on if the primary pump fails to turn on or is unable to keep up with excessive water due to rain or other conditions that can cause your basement water removal system to overload. Both the Basement Sentry I (model 507) and the Basement Aquanot 508 (model 508) have the same basic functions. The only difference is the size and performance of the pump. If more than 7 hours continuous run time will be required then two or more batteries should be connected in parallel to extend the run time hours. Both the Basement Sentry I and the Aquanot 508 can be used with multiple batteries but an extra battery case with a hookup wire (P/N 007861) must be ordered separately for each additional battery to be used.
What the Basement Sentry I and the Basement Aquanot 508 have in common:
DC CONTROLLER / Charger: Self contained 10 amp battery recharger includes battery burn out and overcharge protection. The solid state automatic control has alarms, light indicators and warning systems. Keeps the battery ready for use and recharges the battery after it's used and the AC power is restored. If the battery does not charge properly the LCD will display BATFAIL and sound an alarm buzzer. The charger is super efficient and complies with the California Battery Council standards.
LCD SCREEN: Constantly displays battery voltage and will display other helpful information about the system, such as DC pump cycles and power outages, by simply touching the scroll button.
AC Power LED LIGHTS:
ALARMS: Continuous steady buzzer sounds for "low battery". Alarm also sounds for High Water or Reverse Polarity detected.
FLOAT SWITCH: Low voltage, reliable, vertical.
BATTERY CASE: The included battery case will accommodate maximum battery dimensions of 13"L x 7-1/2"W x 9-1/2"H and fits all group size 27 marine batteries. Made from non corrosive polyethylene. Contains lock strap.
BATTERY: Not included. However, the estimated life of a fully charged (175 minute reserve capacity) battery when the pump is operating continuously is approximately 7-1/2 hours.
FITTINGS: All parts required for installation and mounting are included for each system including brackets, wall anchors, PVC fittings, and cable ties. PVC pipe must be provided by the installer.
PIT SIZE minimum requirements: 18" diameter x 24" deep.
The pumps are the only difference!
The Model 507 will pump 900 GPH (15 GPM) at 10 ft. head. Not recommended for installations over 15 ft. total dynamic head. This pump outlet has 1-1/2" PVC spigot adapter built-in to glue directly into a 1-1/2" Tee provided by the manufacturer.
View Basement Sentry I installation example (Model 507) when used with a submersible primary pump.
View Basement Sentry I installation example (Model 507) when used with a pedestal primary pump.
The Aquanot Model 508 has a slightly larger pump that will pump 1800 GPH (30 GPM) at 10 ft. head. Not recommended for installations over 20 ft. total dynamic head. This pump outlet has 1-1/2" PVC slip adapter to glue directly onto 1-1/2" pipe.

Please note: All parts required for installation and mounting are included for each system including brackets, anchors, PVC fittings, and cable ties. PVC pipe a battery must be provided by the installer.
The Pro Pak line of emergency backup sump pump systems include the Basement Aquanot 508 system (#508-0005), as well as your choice of a primary (main) sump pump. The key word here is "pre-assembled". All you need to do is put it in the sump pit, mount your control box on the wall, attach the wires to the battery, adjust the float switch height, add any additional discharge piping and plug the control box into one receptacle and the primary pump into a separate outlet. These Pro Pak systems are plumbed with 1-1/2" schedule 40 PVC pipe and are offered with two different sized Zoeller 115 Volt primary sump pumps. The only difference between these two systems is the primary pump choice that you get to make. The Pro Pak 53 comes with the Zoeller M53 .3 HP pump, and the Pro Pak 98 includes the Zoeller M98 1/2 HP pump.
The included back-up pump system is the Basement Aquanot 508 (508-0005) and includes the 12 volt DC back-up pump with internal check valve, the control box, float switch, sturdy polyethylene battery case with locking strap, and all needed mounting hardware for mounting the control box. The 12 volt back-up pump will turn on if the primary pump fails to turn on because of a power outage or if a high volume of water enters the pit and activates the back-up pump float switch.

Q. "We are interested in purchasing a Pro Pak pre-assembled system but would like to add an additional battery. What should we do?"
A.The pre-assembled systems include the Sentry I back-up system and we are sorry to say cannot be used for multiple battery applications. You would just need to purchase the Sentry II (model 510-0005) that can be used with multiple batteries, and purchase your primary pump separately. Extra battery cases are also sold separately. The installation and assembly of these systems are not as difficult as you might think.
Q. "What is an AGM battery?"
A. An AGM (absorbent glass mat) battery is a completely sealed lead acid battery that is spill proof. The battery is made with fine fiberglass or boron-silicate glass mats absorbed with electrolyte acid placed between lead plates. These types of batteries can be shipped without hazardous material restrictions. AGM batteries perform better than "wet" type batteries in cold temperatures and can recharge up to 5 times faster than the "wet" type.

All manufacturing, installation and commissioning is conducted under Diverse Group Australia's accredited Quality Management System, guaranteeing all works are completed to high quality using Australian Standards from initial order receipt to project completion.
In every project the DGA team undertakes, an allocated supervisor is on hand to ensure our alignment with client safety requirements and to offer a single point of contact.
We are also proud to offer clients a high degree of flexibility. The facilities at our Port Hedland and Wickham hubs enable DGA to cater to clients needs across the Pilbara region.
