|Viewsonic VA702B 17-Inch LCD Monitor

ViewSonic VA702B 17" Monitor
Very recently Benchmark Reviews celebrated our first year on the web, and held a contest for our readers. One of the incentives to earn additional contest entries was to submit a user review of the monitor or television of their choice. A few of these articles are good enough to share with our audience, so we hope that you will find it just as helpful as our professional reviews. In this short article, Sushruta Bhattacharya reviews his ViewSonic VA702B 17" LCD monitor.
The ViewSonic VA702B is a neat looking 17" LCD monitor with a metallic grey finish and collinear silver buttons placed at the front. A pair of integrated speakers is also present. I am not one who really cares about speakers in my LCD unless they find a way to integrate a subwoofer there somehow. For the records, the integrated speakers have an output power of 1 Watt each. Unlike other models, which has a built-in power adapter, this come with a separate power adapter.
This monitor has a brightness level of 380 cd/m" which is higher than most of the LCD screens you get here. However the same cannot be said about the contrast ratio. It stands at 350:1 (typical) and 450:1 (max), which is slightly lower than most of the good LCDs today that manage a 600:1 ratio. However in practice, it didn't seem to make much of a difference. It boasts of a horizontal view angle of 160 degrees and 120 degrees for vertical. It supports a maximum resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels at 32-bit color depth. The frequency range supported by this model is 30 KHz to 82 KHz (Horizontal) and 50 Hz to 85 Hz (vertical). Just like most ViewSonic LCDs, there was no mention of dot pitch in the specifications, but I assume it is 0.264 mm.
Most of the features supported by this monitor are similar to other monitors in the same range by Viewsonic, one major difference being the response time. The response time of this LCD stands at 8 ms, which was easily the best at the time I've bought this LCD 2 years ago. For those new to the LCD world, response time is basically the time taken by a liquid crystal cell in the LCD screen to change state i.e. to go from active to inactive and back to active state. The lesser time it takes for this state change, better the picture quality and lesser the ghosting effect. The response time is hardly a factor when you are looking at still images. It only comes into play when you are looking at high frames per second applications like games and videos. Higher response time is one of the major reasons why most of the gamers do not prefer a LCD screen over the classic CRT for gaming in spite of it being softer on the eyes. However 8 ms is really cool and I hardly noticed any ghosting effect when gaming on this one.
ViewSonic VA702B Specifications
ViewSonic's reliable performer delivers on a promise of quality standards like 300 nits of brightness (typ) and 500:1 contrast ratio (typ) for stunning, bright images. The VA702b features a 12ms video response time that produces crystal-clear graphics and HD-quality video for full brilliant, detailed color. Simplicity is executed through it's clean lines, slim bezel and minimalist footprint with a base designed to fold 90 degrees. The VESA wall mount makes the VA702b an unobtrusive integration to any décor. Packed with a powerful OnView control interface, precise performance is always a priority in this extremely affordable package. The stylish VA702b LCD display is an ideal choice for SOHO, education and government users.

A dozen projects ranging from houses to offices and a school to an army workshop have been acknowledged in the 2012 Western Architecture Awards, the New Zealand Institute of Architects' official awards programme for the Taranaki, Whanganui, Manawatu and Horowhenua regions.
It is a reflection of present circumstances, jury convenor Duncan Sinclair said, that several awards went to projects which adapted existing buildings. Boon Goldsmith Bhaskar Team Architects received an award for JRI Offices in New Plymouth, in which the architects refurbished a 1970s building to create "a warm and welcoming interior that imparts a semi-domestic feel to a commercial space". The same firm also won an award for Powerco Project Open, New Plymouth, which involved converting an old, shed-like building into a modern working environment with more than 60 workstations.
The jury also gave an Enduring Architecture Award to Whanganui's Sarjeant Gallery, which was built in 1919 to the design of a young architect, Donald Hosie, who was killed at Passchendaele two years earlier.
Hosie's architecture practice, Edmund Anscombe and Associates (which dominated on the night with five awards), oversaw the construction of the Sarjeant Gallery which, the jury noted, has "an outstanding reputation as one of New Zealand's finest provincial art galleries with an enduring importance in the cultural life of its city".
Energy City Motors (New Plymouth) - Boon Goldsmith Bhaskar Team Architects Ltd
Judges say: Client and architect have combined well on the design of this project, in which material selection and the quality of finishes has enhanced the user experience on both sides of a car dealership's counter. On the façade differing treatments of opacity and cladding clearly distinguish the dealership's sales and service areas, and a light and airy environment extends throughout the building. Delivered expeditiously, the new building has already succeeded in raising the client's commercial profile.
1 RNZIR Workshop, Linton Camp - GHD Architecture
Judges say: The exposure of the primary structure has lent an elegant levity to a building of considerable mass. Spacious working areas are well lit and heated for staff comfort, the selective use of particle board cladding provides added visual warmth, and a subdued colour palette seems eminently suitable for a building of this nature. The client's brief has been well achieved in a successful design.
Te Wainui a Rua School (Ranana, Whanganui) - Opus Architecture
Judges say: Perched high above the Whanganui River with a courtyard open to the north, this school is an inspiring learning environment. Broad views of the landscape from large window seats and a log fire to counter the chill of winter are among the elements that will ensure the school is appreciated and valued by staff, pupils and the wider community. The design raises the bar for schools in remote areas, and flies the flag for the education of the children who are our future.
Dickson House (Whanganui) - Bruce Dickson Architect
Judges say: Employing a relaxed and sociable programme and simple and robust materials, including timber and concrete block, the architect set out to design a family home very much in the New Zealand tradition. He has succeeded admirably; this joyful house benefits from the adept treatment of natural light and sure command of scale, and a successful relationship, built on a courtyard organising principle, between inside and out. This is a mature work with timeless qualities.
House of Emotions (Palmerston North) - Architype – Shadbolt Architects Ltd
Judges say: Nestled beneath the branches of a mature Pin Oak and presenting a happy prospect to any tree-lover, the House of Emotions is sympathetically designed to meet the changing needs of clients anticipating retirement. On the exterior, the white cladding, natural cedar and colour-accented windows are a visual treat. A well-sheltered front door leads into a comfortable interior in which the generous use of ply, combined with red accents, imparts a sense of warmth in the kitchen and stairwell areas, while elsewhere soft green shades promote a restful atmosphere.
Lloyd House (New Plymouth) - Saunders Architects Limited
Judges say: Dubbed the "Love Boat", this is a joyful and even whimsical house for happily idiosyncratic clients. In a family home in the bush, pursuing a nautical theme, evident in a front elevation suggestive of a cruise ship's bridge and elements such as the porthole skylight, was certainly not orthodox, but the strategy has worked for the clients. There's even a touch of James Bond dash and bravado in a surprising house that's guaranteed to bring a smile to the face of any visitor.
Plymouth Road Farmhouse (New Plymouth) - Architects Ian Pritchard
Judges say: Driven by the capturing of rural views and clearly designed accordingly, this house nestles comfortably into a natural terrace by adopting a split-level plan that usefully separates most of the private areas from the common spaces. The relaxed interior benefits from the employment of a simple and controlled palette of materials that do not distract from the expansive views. The sophisticated interior detailing is well conceived and equally well realised, and is consistent with the client's wish for a high-quality and enduring home.
Interior Architecture
Antunovic Bathroom (Oakura) - Boon Goldsmith Bhaskar Team Architects Ltd
Judges say: The rich hues of the timber floor and ceiling and the ruggedness of the concrete block and river-stone wall finishes are combined to good effect in creating a warm environment that flows easily to the outdoors. Well detailed joinery and opaque glass allow just the right amount of separation between private and less private spaces. A nice addition that might disrupt the Kiwi tendency to treat the kitchen as the centre of activity for any party.
Cameron Buckley House (New Plymouth) - Boon Goldsmith Bhaskar Team Architects Ltd
Judges say: Drawing in the rough, but well put together, exterior sawn timber cladding into the interior and there combining it with refined joinery detailing has lent this house a sophisticated camping ambience. Interior 'pods' accommodating different functions sit feely between the unconstrained ceiling and floor that extends beyond the translucent walls; the effect further enhances the sense of being outdoors. The innovative use of materials and textures creates an interesting and surprising interior, and together with a subtle colour palette does justice to the dramatic coastal environment.
JRI Offices (New Plymouth) - Boon Goldsmith Bhaskar Team Architects Ltd
Judges say: An unassuming entry opens up into a warm and welcoming interior that imparts a semi-domestic feeling to a commercial space. The main open-plan area is linked together by a well-detailed overhead joinery unit that runs the full length of the space – this cleverly-conceived element will work as a unifying device no matter what furniture arrangement may be decided. Dark ply panelling with deep reveals covering the window head and sill frames have given the old windows a crisp modern casing that belies their dated exterior.
Powerco Project Open (New Plymouth) - Boon Goldsmith Bhaskar Team Architects Ltd
Judges say: This new use of an old industrial workshop demonstrates how successful such conversions can be if pursued with sympathy and imagination. Interior light and ventilation shafts containing bamboo plants, clever industrial detailing, exposed services, and colourful graphics and flooring bring a huge space down to a human level creating a work-place that is pure joy to occupy and use.
Enduring Architecture
Sarjeant Gallery (Whanganui) - Edward Anscombe and Associates
Judges say: Whanganui's Sarjeant Gallery has an outstanding reputation as one of New Zealand's finest provincial art galleries and an enduring importance in the cultural life of its city. Designed in Neo-Classical style by Donald Hosie shortly before his death at Passchendaele in 1917, it was completed by the young architect's firm, Edmund Anscombe and Associates, and officially opened in 1919. The Gallery's pioneering use of "Top-Side-Lighted" lighting was hugely influential in this country, and the restrained interior has proved a remarkably successful environment in which to display a significant public art collection, just as the Oamaru stone exterior has provided a local exemplar of architectural excellence for 90 years. The Sarjeant Gallery is a wonderful testament to and validation of a city's architectural ambition.

It's been a long two years since my first game on NewGrounds - "Protostar." It's good to be back and just in time for Halloween with "Zombie Zero." The game was made very quickly and I will be following up with a post-mortem post about its design and a lot of improvements I hope to make the next go around.
But it's good to be back in the saddle and programming games again. :)

Staff Simchas (Joys)
We usually report from our missionaries on the field, but we also want to invite you to share our joy in the following life events of some of our staff.
Just married!
|The happy couple about to depart for their honeymoon
Samuel Rood and Rebekah Pill were married on April 28. They met in August of 2011 on the first day of Sam's internship with the New York branch and Rebekah's first day of missionary training.
Just born!
First-time parents Toby and Rebekah Weiss are praising God for Samuel Timothy Weiss, born April 22 at 5:44 p.m. Toby heads our I.T. department at Jews for Jesus San Francisco headquarters. His wife Rebekah has been involved with Jews for Jesus all her life; her dad and mom (Steve and Janie Wertheim,) have served with Jews for Jesus in various key roles since the 1970s.
Yonas and Mertsit Kidanemariam are happy to announce the birth of Micaiah's baby sister, Eliana, on May 6 at 10:40 pm. Yonas also works in our I.T. department in San Francisco. Thankfully, there were two weeks between the births, so we didn't have to call for reinforcements to keep our I.T. department going!
Just graduated!
From Western Seminary, in Portland Oregon
A number of our missionaries have graduated from Western, as Jews for Jesus emphasizes continuing education. This year's graduation ceremony was held on April 27. Our most recent Western graduates are Dan Sered (leader of our Israel branch), who participated in the ceremony and is finishing his coursework this summer, and Joshua Sofaer (leader of our Los Angeles branch), who finished his coursework in the fall and did not return for the ceremony. They both received the Master of Arts degree in Ministry and Leadership with emphasis in Jewish ministry. Jews for Jesus has been partnering with Western to offer this focus on Jewish ministry, and it is one of the partnerships we highlighted in the February 2013 edition of RealTime.
| Dan and Dina Sered enjoying Dan's graduation with their three children:
Yael, Eithan and Yoav
|Josh and Annette Sofaer
From Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, Illinois
Amy Moore (who begins her missionary training in New York this fall) graduates this month with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biblical Studies.
From Biola University
|Graduates Isaac and Shaina Brickner with their daughter, Norah
Isaac Brickner (who begins his missionary training in New York this fall) and his wife Shaina are both graduating from Biola on May 24. Isaac is receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biblical and Theological Studies and Shaina is receiving a Bachelor of Science in Nursing.

Facebook Announces Plans To Launch A Dating Feature – Swipe Left On Facebook
Facebook recently made public their F8 conference that looks to create and roll out a new dating feature on its popular website. The Swipe Left On Facebook's Dating element officially deemed Facebook an official competitor to the long list of adult dating merchant account holders in the market, counting present bigwigs like the Match Group (MTCH) and Bumble among others.
The leading social media site's move to join the web-based dating arena may prove a goldmine for the company as the industry is already experiencing fierce competition. Plus, users may fall in love with the idea of merging their online dating life with their already existing Facebook profiles.
For Facebook, up is the only way— the site maintains an overall growth trajectory—but market analysts are still not sure of the impact regulatory and competition challenges may do to the new dating feature. And while Swipe Left On Facebook looks peculiar, it may likely cause a minimal impact on Facebook's bottom line.
Cut-throat competition awaits!
Much is going on in the online dating industry. And despite its risky nature, the business keeps gaining popularity and acceptance among the public, particularly Millennials who use smartphone apps like the Tinder from The Match Group.
In fact, a statistic estimated at 30 percent the portion of active online daters aged between 18 and 29. Another 31 percent have previously used these apps or dating sites.
But the issue doesn't lie solely on public approval and user activity; rather, on valuable or profit-generating user activity. As of the 2017's final quarter, The Match Group was hosting a whopping 7.044 million subscribers (all paying) resulting in $1.330 billion total revenue last year.
On the surface, Facebook's decision to join the online dating industry may look like a wise move. And why not; if all other existing dating apps are linking to a user's Facebook account for both matching and identity verification purposes.
Speaking at the T8 launch announcement, Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that currently, Facebook holds over 200 million users who have stated they are "single."
Market analysts see Swipe Left on Facebook as a bold move that Facebook makes only weeks after the release of the scandalous Cambridge Analytica data and second scandal in which a worker from Facebook was dismissed for "stalking" (accessing) user data.
Other market leaders like Match Group were visibly not happy, perhaps a little scared about Facebook's venture into the now lucrative the online dating jargon.

Occupy Wall Street protesters clash with police in New York as they mark the movement's six-month anniversary by camping in the city's Zuccotti Park. Many were arrested and the video shows the protesters jostling with the police while shouting shame!
They seem more determined than ever to make sure the occupation movement does not continue.

I felt like I needed to write a blog about this piece, mostly because of the meaning around it.
This was one of the toughest images I have created both photographing and editing wise, but it was so worth it.
When I decided to go outside on my front lawn and do this, it was 5 degrees out with 30kmh winds, so, needless to say, I was freezing cold, lol. I wasn't sure of the pose that I wanted, but I knew what I wanted to come across, so standing strong with my hands clasped together in front of me, was the first idea that came to mind. I knew I wanted leaves blowing by, my dress and hair moving.
The boys and I collected a HUGE bag of leaves for Ryan to throw at me which now looking at the images, I think he enjoyed a little too much, lol.
I took my images first and then timed it to capture the leaves flying while Ethan and Ryan threw the leaves around. The leaves on the ground, those were all there......yes we have a ton of leaves in the fall.
I took these images over a month ago then I struggled with a few things in my personal life and just couldn't edit it. I find that I need to be in a certain mindset to sit down for many hours to create my work, so it fell to the back burner. Finally on Friday I was able to work on it, all day and when I was finished I felt very proud of myself for accomplishing this image, which I honestly wasn't sure I could do.
So now to the image and the meaning behind it. Some of my close friends know everything that is going on or has gone on the past 4.5 years, this isn't just about my Mom, but that is how it started and when it started. I feel, especially lately that things are constantly changing, some of those things are good, but there is also very bad things as well and I find that I have to just stand strong while everything is going on and be at peace with it, which is not easy to do most days. The leaves and the wind represent the chaos, it just whips around you, not caring what it does or who it affects. I am so happy with how this turned out!!

Dialogue one
M: Can you have the briefs from the Anderson firm's lawyer on my desk by tomorrow morning. There are quite a few very time sensitive matters with this case. I'm afraid I can't wait any longer.
F: Getting those Anderson briefs has been harder than you can imagine. I have tried to contact their lawyer many times. But every time I call, his secretary says he's in a meeting or out of the office or away on business. I am beginning to think he is trying to avoid me.
M: That's highly1 possible. He knows if we miss our filing deadline, we don't stand a chance to compete against them for the bid. Try to get a hold of him again. Give him a call and see if he can fax them first thing.
F: What if I can't speak to him directly?
M: -Ask his secretary to fax them. Its the same thing. Have them faxed over with a copy also faxed to Martin's office.
F: How do I find Martin's fax number? Is he in your rollerdesk?
M: No, but you can also call their office and ask the secretary to give you their fax number. I'll email you their office number later today.
F: Ok, I'll get on it first thing.
M: Be sure you do, I need those briefs ASAP
Dialogue two
M:Did you put this morning's faxes on my desk?I'm waiting for some urgent2 faxes from headquaters,I'm pretty sure they came in last night.
F:Evething that came in the office fax machine last night is all on your desk,but I noticed that some of faxes came through pretty blurred3,maybe you take a look at them,if the copy is unreadble,I'll call then and ask them to refax.
M:Yeah,you're going to have to call them and get them to be refax. These copies are so dark. I can'

Moderator – Street Bangerz Volume 10
funky breakbeat sound~enjoy N support great music~ – Arkisound
♠♠♠ Don't MisS ♠♠♠
- 04. Keep On [feat. Revolutionary Rhythm]
- 05. Fusion Dreamers
- 07. Sometimes I Feel
- 08. Why Tonight
- 14. Lost in Motion
About Album: Cold Busted's famed Street Bangerz series has reached its tenth installment, continuing to, in the words of the label, "define the street sound of today." Indoctrinating global beatmakers into Cold Busted's extended family, the series promises nimble sample archeology and breakbeats both funky and soulful, combining flavors from the new and old schools. The Athens, Greece, producer Moderator has been tasked with number ten, and he delivers in a champion fashion. Last year's The World Within album for Cult Classic Records gave a tantalizing taste of what to expect from Moderator as Street Bangerz Volume 10 now rolls onto the scene. Fifteen tracks of bouncing beat-head hotness are introduced by the crucial soul-breaks of "Ain't Nobody Change My Mind" … and it won't take much further than "Trouble"'s Jamaican-style skank in the following track to realize the variety of sounds presented here. "Underground Dopiness" and "Keep On", a couple of classic-themed hip hop tracks featuring Los Angeles rhyme crew Revolutionary Rhythm, and appearances by female emcee Maïcee and soulful vocalist Heeni also display Moderator's impressive sonic breadth. But the cohesive thread throughout is Moderator's keen production acumen and solid beats, keeping this edition of Street Bangerz on track for repeated listens and dance floor plays. https://soundcloud.com/the-moderator-1

The Smart Business Network was a concept idea for a business man from Nottingham, who wanted to launch a service that was more focused on the digital side that local businesses could offer via a promotional facility. Unfortunately the timing of the company was delayed as the larger players in the industry all stepped up and started using similar techniques but with their considerable funding behind them.

Seems that every Democrat has been contacting the Russians the only person that hasn't is called Trump
Click Here if you Like this Comment 164 persons like this.
What´s amazing to me is the lack of interest in all of this by the MSM. Don´t even bother bringing any of this up with your liberal friends, relatives, or acquaintances/lovers, etc.. They´ll just say you probably got this from Fox News!

#2, they are only going to report what they MUST, or what they are told by the Democrat leadership.What´s truly amazing is how little Sen. Burr thought of the direct contact by Sen. Warner. He either knew, and was hoping it would help remove Trump back in September 2017, or he´s not up for the job of running that committee. Likely both.

When enough facts come out, the president should address the nation about it, accompanied by all those involved in uncovering the Democrat outrage. The networks are required to carry his addresses by law. They can spin all they want, but if the proven facts are exposed, there is not much the leftists can deny or spin.

...this is getting absurd in a not so funny way......if Mueller is running an honest investigation into Russian involvement, it´s time to shine a bright light on the left. There´s getting to be a variety of "persons of interest" from that direction...

Burr, ´our guy´ sits around dumb and oblivious as usual. This fool ´thanked´ Comey for his service!!!! If you spit in his face, he will tell you it´s raining!So now we have ugly Warner and dirty Schiff!In front of cameras these crooks were always so outraged about the nothing burgers they found in their ´investigations´. Both should be removed yesterday from the ´intelligence´ committee!

Warner AND Schiff should be kicked off these committees and forced to recuse themselves from further proceedings. But then a whole slew of characters from Lois Lerner to Hillary should be breaking rocks right now.

FTA: "In one text, Warner suggested he did not want Burr or any other senator included in the discussions: "Ok but I wud (sic) like to do prelim call u me and him no one else before letter just so we have to trail to start want to discuss scope first before letter no leaks."´FTA: ""We want to do this right private in London don´t want to send letter yet cuz if we can´t get agreement wud rather not have paper trail."FTA: "But after calls back and forth, Warner made clear that he wanted to talk to Steele directly without Burr or anyone else being involved, even though Steele was insisting through Waldman that the contact start with a bipartisan letter inviting him to cooperate with the Senate panel."FTA: "Warner's text messages were quietly given to the intelligence committee after he and Burr signed a joint request for the messages last June. Warner and Burr privately informed the rest of the Democratic and Republican senators on the panel of Warner´s text messages in a meeting last October."It is absolutely stunning to me that NO ONE on that committee didn´t force the removal of Warner for his deceitful, criminal? behavior. The link below has all the members of the senate intelligence committee. I cannot believe that Tom Cotton o James Lankford would allow Warner to remain. Rubio, Cornyn, Collins and Blunt don´t surprise me. What a bunch of worthless, spineless RINOs on that committee.

Remember when Schiff went ballistic over Nunez examining secret materials on his own and took the liberty of informing President Trump of what he had discovered?

This whole thing, and I mean the whole thing including, the illegal server, Clinton Foundation, DNC,Uranium One,(Russia, Russia, Russia),Fast & Furious, IRS, Bengazi, Slick Willie meeting Lynch on the tarmac, Comey, unmasking, FISA court applications etc. looks like one huge two headed octopus with thousands of tentacles reaching all through the entire federal government.It is all connected together somehow and the singularity seems to be Obambo and Herself.How do we clean it up? I don´t know. But, it seems like we just need to shut the whole government down and rebuild it from scratch. Oh,and I hear the weather at Gitmo is nice this time of year.L.T.H.

Is Warner a double agent? Burr had no clue what Warner was doing, Burr is a hapless fool who is constantly sweating and wiping his armpits with his hanky, As far as Rubio he has no clue he just sided with Warner because he´s a Democrat. How come Warner didn´t want Burr at the Steele meeting? I think the leaks got out and Warner was found out about, now he is pretending he was doing this for the comm. LIAR!

Watch POS Senator Warner spew lies about our President and Russian influence, regarding the Mueller investigation. Also, the Senator referenced the firing of former FBI Director, James Comey.PBS News Hour Dec 20, 2017Interesting to note, the Senator was slurring his words the entire time.Maybe a cocktail was needed to rise and spew the garbage that came out of his mouth. Who said lying would be easy?These people are insane.

There is even more in Sundance's analysis of this ugly situation, posted here:http://www.lucianne.com/thread/?artnum=935174This complicity on the part of the entire Senate Intelligence Committee is the reason why Nunes has not shared information with them. Burr is deliberately cut off. But how scary is it that he and Warner, by virtue of their positions on this committee, are members of the Intelligence Gang of Eight, which has access to far more sensitive material than any other members of Congress.Sundance notes that Diane Feinstein quit this committee, and was replaced by Warner. She too said nothing.

It´s ok. Warner just got confused and thought that Obama´s NASA Muslim outreach included outreach to Russians. So he followed through accordingly. It´s all a part of being inclusive and reaching out to friends and neighbors. /s.

#21 is right. This is actually quite simple. If a pubbie soft pedals the scandals or remains silent, it means he/she has been on the intercepts with communications with foreign representatives. The unmasking scandal was actually a warning shot to the DC swamp that more unofficial unmasking (leaks) would occur unless everybody played ball.

I wonder if I called Steele via some video chat room, recorded everything and asked Steele to get with a few Russian oligarchs (READ: Sidney Blumenthal) to come up with more fake golden shower stories about Trump/Russia collusion, had Steele write yet another fake dossier against Trump, where the DNC would pay me 8 or 9 million for my services. Then Warner and Burr and Rubio could go to the FBI (on camera of course) and claim that they now had REAL evidence that Trump stole the election from Hillary via Russia. I´d become a millionaire, absolutely nothing would happen to me and I´d be loved by the Fourth Estate forever. Congress would make sure the truth would never come out and if it did do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about it for months or years. Plus, the Freedom Caucus would go on Hannity where pillows, mattresses, flowers, safes and home security system sales would go through the roof! You, on the other hand, will call your Rep and Senators whose interns laugh at you after you hang up; and come to blogs like Lucianne and tickle keyboards. I think that pretty much describes the pattern. Note to self: Call Christopher ASAP.

A shorter list would be the names of democrats in congress whose fingerprints are NOT all over this coup. The Constitution makes it tough to get rid of traitors and incompetents but the voting booths can still get the job done if we can find enough patriotic and honest citizens out there. If we can´t we will see more and more of this. People in certain districts seem to choose the least intelligent, greediest, most corrupt and vile candidates on the ballot.

#6, with due respect, I believe you are wrong about the networks being legally required to carry an address by the president.But even so, the problem with President Trump was best described by Newt Gingrich, who is a friend of the president."He (President Trump) sometimes speaks in sentences when he should be speaking in paragraphs."President Trump needs an interlocutor to help explain this incredibly interwoven seditious behavior on the part of Barack Obola, Hillary, and the deep state. .And, once again, my proposal for a Lakerman Commission is important. The 9/11 commission was able to knock down some myths in public.

Med. students in Deni
Student doctors Lucy McCrum and Damian Gill are learning the ropes of rural medical practices.
The medical students are in Deniliquin as part of a two-week general practice placement, which sees them shadowing local doctors.
The students say the exposure to Deniliquin's health services has given them a greater understanding of the skill and patient diversity associated with country areas.
Mr Gill, 22, is in his fifth year of medicinal studies at the University of NSW Albury campus and is working alongside Deniliquin's Dr Ian Dumbrell.
''The placement allows us to spend time with GPs and learn what it means to be a rural GP compared to those based in the city,'' Mr Gill said.
''I've noticed there is more demand for rural GPs with broader skills, and it's interesting to see how they address different population needs.''
Mr Gill said he has enjoyed a few walks along the Edward River, and described the locals as ''friendly and welcoming''.
From Leeton, Ms McCrum is completing her first rural placement with a general practitioner.
The 23 year-old is shadowing Deniliquin doctor Marion Magee, and like Mr Gill, is also in her fifth year of study at UNSW.
''It's interesting to see the scope of practice in regional areas compared to the city — there is such diversity,'' she said.
Both student doctors thanked their host doctors and the community for their support and hospitality.
Today is the final day of their first week in Deniliquin.
Medical students Lucy McCrum and Damian Gill are spending two weeks in Deniliquin as part of general practice placement.

The third season of the All-Weather Championships gets underway at Lingfield Park on Thursday, October 29 with an eight-race programme featuring the first Fast-Track Qualifier.
The £40,000 Listed 32Red/ebfstallions.com Fleur De Lys Fillies' Stakes (3.20pm, 12 runners) takes place over a mile and is a Fast Track Qualifier for the £150,000 32Red.com All-Weather Fillies' & Mares' Championships on All-Weather Championships Finals Day, Good Friday, March 25.
James Tate has two contenders led by All-Weather specialist Lamar (Luke Morris), who has not run since trailing down the field in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot.
The four-year-old enjoyed an excellent campaign during the 2014/15 All-Weather Championships, winning twice and finishing second three times including when going down by a neck in the 32Red.com Fillies' And Mares' Championship on Good Friday.
Taaqah (Pat Cosgrave) is Tate's other representative and the three-year-old is coming in on the back of a good second in a mile Listed race at Hanover, Germany, on September 13.
Tate said: "Lamar is in great form. She did a racecourse gallop at Chelmsford a couple of weeks ago and this has been her target since we gave her a break after Royal Ascot.
"She loves the course and distance and we are expecting another big run.
"She will go to stud at some point and I expect we will take it race by race with her.
"It was a season's best run last time from Taaqah in the first time blinkers and she is in particularly good form.
"She has got plenty of talent but it just depends on what she is prepared to give us. I suppose we are relying on the blinkers working again.
"She is also going off stud but as with Lamar no date has been set and it will be race by race."
Also set to line up are Dusky Queen (Richard Fahey/Paul Hanagan), a Listed winner at Chester in July plus Pack Together (Richard Hannon/Sean Levey) and Alfajer (Marco Botti/Hayley Turner), who also boast Listed form having finished second and third respectively in the October Stakes at Ascot.
Rekdhat (Roger Varian/Andrea Atzeni) was last seen out in Turkey when runner-up in the Group Three Istanbul Trophy at Veliefendi on September 5. Two fillies stepping up in class are Invoke (Keith Dalgleish/Tom Queally), who recorded four victories in fillies' handicaps on turf during the summer and Clarentine (Ed Dunlop/Graham Gibbons) who has been successful on her latest two starts in Polytrack handicaps at Lingfield Park and Chelmsford City.
Godolphin is represented by Very Special (Saeed bin Suroor/Oisin Murphy), successful on two of her three starts but not seen out since scoring on Polytrack at Kempton Park in April.
Thursday's card also features the £40,000 32Red.com/EBF Stallions River Eden Stakes (2.20pm, 13 runners) over a mile and five furlongs. Alwilda (Sir Mark Prescott/Luke Morris) heads the declarations. The programme runs from 12.50pm through to 4.20pm. The 32Red Casino/British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Fillies' Stakes has split into two divisions (12.50pm and 1.20pm), with a maximum field of 14 set to contest both races.

Sweet and sexy Alexandra is only twenty, but she knows how to turn on any man from a block away by showing off her pretty little feet in public. Almost without warning, she slips off her white sneakers and lets her toes wiggle in the breeze before she rests them on top of a bench so anyone who happens to walk by her can get a smell of her sexy aroma.
Claire is absolutely gorgeous and she knows that you want to touch yourself while you look at her perfect and sweaty feet, so she is going to be nice. She is going to wiggle her tiny toes and wave her soles right in your face so you can inhale all of the wonderful aromas that some off them while you violently jerk your little cock like the pathetic bitch you are.
Lady Julia knows that you jerk off to the idea of smelling her nasty shoes and socks and it disgusts her, but she is going to be nice to you. If you are a very, very good slave, she is going to let you have a pair of her worn and sweaty shoes. Not only that, but she is going to spit inside them and let you lick it out.
After spending all day walking around in her sweaty shoes with her lesbian love, Alex J finally gets to peel off her stinking socks in front of you. You even get to put your nose right up to her soles and try to smell as much of her nasty scent as you possibly can before she throws her socks onto the floor and tells you to go away so she can masturbate to girls.
Felicia is one sexy girl with long and supple legs and even more supple feet. She walks in with high heels on and sits on the sofa. She slowly removes her heels and wiggles her toes making her tone legs tense up. She props her bare feet up putting them right in your face. She knows how much you want to lick her feet all over and suck on her toes.

by Larry W. Jones
(Kingwood, Texas, USA)
Aloha and Howdy Y'all,
I'm Larry W. Jones from Kingwood, Texas, just north of Houston. I am the author of 4,000 island-themed songs in the "Island Song Lyrics" series, published in eight volumes of 500 song lyrics each. My first song, "Under Hanalei Moon" was selected to be archived in the prestigious "Huapala.org" for preservation of the Hawaiian culture in music.
Here are the links:
"Island Song Lyrics"
When finished writing 4,000 island songs, I turned my attention to writing old-style vintage/classic Country/Cowboy/Western song lyrics, an ongoing endeavor. As of Sept 10, 2008, the number written in this series is 1,810 with more to come. My goal is to write 2,000, maybe more. So far, they have been published in seven volumes of 250 song lyrics each. I am currently working on volume eight.
Here is a description from volume 7:
Welcome to Real Country Lyrics Volume 7. If you want to get back to Real Country Music, you have to start with Real Country Lyrics.

Any type of game plan Dutch Fork had in trying to defend it's Class 4A, Division I state championship went out of the window in the second quarter when quarterback Tate Fant left with what Dutch Fork coach Tom Knotts called an apparent concussion.
Hillcrest scored the final 41 points in routing the Silver Foxes 47-17 Saturday night at Williams-Brice Stadium.
Knotts said the team didn't respond well after losing Fant.
"We really didn't have one," Knotts said of the game plan when Fant left the game. "We just floundered around with two back-up quarterbacks. We couldn't ever run the ball, which is our forte. It was just an embarrassing performance on our part."
Hillcrest coach Greg Porter said his team's defensive attack changed when Fant left the game. Dutch Fork had 121 yards of offense before Fant was hurt and 63 over the final two-and-half quarters.
"When I saw their quarterback was out, it changed their whole game plan," Porter said. "I hate to use the analogy of animals smelling blood, but I think we started attacking a little more, because we knew they became one-dimensional. They had to run the ball, and passing wasn't going to be one of their strengths."
Fant took a hard hit on a scramble play with about 11 minutes remaining in the first half and remained in the game for two more series before leaving for good after a pick six by Marco Westfield gave the Rams the lead for good, 19-17, with 6:17 remaining in the half. Fant tried to make the tackle on the return and he looked visibly shaken after the play.
"We lost a lot of confidence when Tate went out," running back Matt Colburn said. "We weren't the same. We could never get in a rhythm. We were up and we blew it and made some bozo mistakes. We kind of panicked, and it showed on the scoreboard."
Dutch Fork had to turn to freshman Bryce Thompson and junior Cole Douglas in the second half. They combined to go 2-for-9 for 10 yards. Colburn could never find much running room, either. The Louisville-bound standout was limited to 75 yards on 22 carries with his longest run being 12 yards.
The end result was a 38-yard effort in the second half. The Silver Foxes had a negative two yards of offense in the decisive third quarter, when Hillcrest pushed the lead from 19-17 to 40-17.
That is a far cry from the 440 yards per game the Silver Foxes were averaging coming in.
"Our philosophy is to stop the run and run the ball," Porter said. "You do that, and you win championships."
Porter said the key all week was to limit the damage done by Colburn. Even before Fant left with the injury, the Rams were doing a good job of bottling up Colburn before he could get going. The senior had 1,632 yards this season and more than 5,500 in his career coming into the game, but he was held to 35 yards in the first half.
"Matt was taking some shots, and I knew he was getting tired as the game went down," Porter said.
It was a bitter ending for a Dutch Fork team that was in its third consecutive state championship game.
"All the work we put in the off season and adversity we had to overcome, it would have been nice with another state championship," an emotional Colburn said. "It just wasn't meant to be. We'll learn from it."

SOURCE: Bio-Rad Laboratories
February 26, 2015 16:15 ET
HERCULES, CA--(Marketwired - Feb 26, 2015) - Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: BIO) and (NYSE: BIO.B), a global provider of life science research and clinical diagnostic products, announced financial results today for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
Fourth-quarter 2014 reported revenues were $598.2 million, a decrease of 0.7% compared to $602.6 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2013. On a currency-neutral basis, quarterly revenues increased 4.6% compared to the same period in 2013. Fourth-quarter gross margin was 53.1% compared to 53.6% during the same quarter in 2013.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $39.0 million, or $1.34 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to $30.1 million, or $1.04 per share during the same period in 2013. Impacting the fourth quarter of 2014 was $11.4 million of expense associated with a product line discontinuation and $7.0 million reflecting the re-valuation of contingent consideration related to prior acquisitions. The fourth quarter of 2014 benefitted from no accrual of settlement costs associated with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practice Act (FCPA) matter, compared to the prior year quarter.
The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2014 of 14.7% was significantly lower than the effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2013 of 32.3% mainly due to the reinstatement of the 2014 U.S. research & development tax credit and releases of valuation allowances and tax reserves.
For the full year of 2014, sales were $2,175.0 million compared to $2,132.7 million in 2013, an increase of 2.0%, or 3.3% on a currency neutral basis. Full-year gross margin was 54.2% compared to 55.3% reported in 2013. The net decline in gross margin is largely attributable to $11.6 million resulting from plant closures and product line discontinuations.
Full-year net income in 2014 was $88.8 million, or $3.05 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to $77.8 million, or $2.69 per share in 2013. The change in net income was primarily due to a reduction of $18.7 million of annual interest expense in 2014 arising from the redemption of Senior Subordinated Notes in September 2013 and $15.0 million less in settlement costs associated with the FCPA matter. These items were offset in large part by the overall impact of $14.7 million from plant closures and product line discontinuations as well as additional investment associated with our April 2014 acquisition of GnuBIO.
As announced previously, in the fourth quarter of 2014 the Company settled the previously disclosed investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the FCPA matter and paid approximately $55 million in resolution.
"In the absence of currency headwinds experienced in the latter part of the year, we are encouraged with our underlying performance in the fourth quarter and the entire year," said Norman Schwartz, Bio-Rad President and Chief Executive Officer. "The year was one of progress on many fronts and we look forward to 2015."
Life Science
The Life Science segment net sales for the fourth quarter were $223.7 million, up 1.5% compared to the same period in 2013. On a currency-neutral basis, Life Science segment sales increased by 6.3%. The sales increase during the quarter reflected growth in the segment's core businesses, in particular, sales of gene expression and protein quantification products and the Company's QX200™ Droplet Digital™ PCR system. During the quarter Bio-Rad introduced its S3e™ Cell Sorter, an enhanced system for cell analysis. Full-year reported revenues for the Life Science segment were $728.3 million, up 2.6% compared to the same period in 2013, or an increase of 4.0% on a currency-neutral basis.
Clinical Diagnostics
The Clinical Diagnostics segment reported net sales of $370.3 million for the fourth quarter, a decrease of 2.0% compared to the same period in 2013. On a currency-neutral basis, net sales were up 3.6%. Results from the fourth quarter reflected growth across most product lines, most notably immunology, quality controls, and diabetes products. During the fourth quarter, the Company announced that it had received Premarket Application approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the Company's Geenius™ HIV 1/2 Supplemental Assay. The assay is a single-use test intended for use as an additional, more specific, test to confirm the presence of and differentiate antibodies to HIV Types 1 and 2. Full-year reported revenues for the Clinical Diagnostics segment were $1,432.3 million, up 1.7% compared to the same period in 2013. On a currency-neutral basis, full-year sales increased 2.9% compared to 2013.

22. LumenUs
The construction LumenUs has been developed by students of the University of Technology and is fully based on a pull-and-pressure ratio. The complicated construction consists of bars and steel wires that keep each other in balance. In this work of art, the bars are highlighted from within and this illumination responds to the impulses of the GLOW public. Because of this interaction, colours gradually take over the object, by means of sensors.
This effect represents the process of how, while brainstorming, several small ideas and impulses can together form a complete plan: it's a regularly used tool by students as well as professionals. This way, the ideas coming from the public can together create an image and thus an interactive, dynamic and lively work of art appears. Airy and powerful to the eye.

Coyote Removal
Coyotes pose a threat to small household animals and therefore should be trapped and professionally removed particularly because they can carry rabies. If bitten or scratched by a coyote, you can face an extremely expensive series of rabies shots. It's just not worth the risk.
Signs of a coyote include:
- Tracks through the yard, similar to a dog's tracks, but slimmer and longer and often imprints are left from only the first two claws
- Black or grey scat, or feces, often times with fur, bits of bones, and feathers based on their carnivorous diet
- Wounds of your pets would include bite marks or punctures near the neck and head as this is often how a coyote attacks its prey
