Brendan DeMelle | December 6, 2012

Christopher Monckton, Lord Crazypants of Brenchley, made a fool of himself today at COP18 in Doha, Qatar by impersonating a delegate in a plenary session. He was immediately debadged and escorted out of the conference, and is likely being deported from Qatar right now.
The UN now confirms that Lord Monckton has been permanently barred from the UNFCCC process.
Cindy Baxter broke the news on Twitter:
Good riddance, indeed. Over the years, Monckton has attempted to disrupt the UN process with various stunts of ill-taste - but none so offensive as the one he tried to pull this time.
Watch this clip put together by TckTckTck about Monckton's stunt which earned him boos from the audience, got him debadged, escorted out of the conference and he will likely be asked to leave Qatar:
Kevin Grandia replied on Permalink
What? Banned?
But I love watching this train wreck embarress himself and his cabel of global warming hoax conspirators.
Peter Moss replied on Permalink
Lord Crazypants
I'm not a psychiatrist, but maybe this was a cry for help?
Go ahead and laugh....
You folks can laugh all you want but you miss the point of Moncton's stunt. He got the headlines he wanted at Doha, and getting him banned just looks like a lame attempt by the Green activists to silence any kind of alternative views.
The facts are that fully one third of all CO2 emissions have occurred since 1998 with almost no measurable increase in global temperatures. This news is definitely NOT welcome at the Climate talks where developed counties are pulling hard for all the cash they can grab before the gig is up.
It doesn't look like a single green activist was involved at all.
To, me it looks like (Not) Lord Monckton pissed off the UN for a stunt.
Heck Hank, look around… getting driven out of negotiations for pulling stunts happens all time in Canada. I think its effective been an effective tool against protestors.
Perhaps you should take a look at how the Harper Government is doing this thing, and get on page with the whole conservative credo.
chas rasper replied on Permalink
Dude, you've still missed the point of it all! Don't you see, you guys are so busy adhom-ing all the 'denialists' that you can see the forest for the trees!
Moncton grabbed some headlines at Doha. And what do you think Joe the plumber is going to remember about Doha? Not the stupid discussions and attemped money grabs. They'll remember that there was "No warming for the past 16 years". Do you get it now?
Ian Forrester replied on Permalink
Which of Monckton's versions
Which of Monckton's versions of what happened over the past 16 years should we believe, the 16 years with no warning he tells us about when he pretends to be a Myanmar delegate or the "0.12 degrees C per decade" he tells us while standing by a camel?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=m5Bxo2wLT-s (2:10)
Why are deniers always contradicting themselves and why are deniers such as rasper so easily fooled by these dishonest conmen?
Joe plumber knows nothing of it.
It didn't even hit the news. Its a stunt for a non-issue that will never be remembered.
Do you know what the news is in Calgary? Conservative old Calgary?
Harper's Government has been trying to run all Climate and Environment talks off the rails.
That's what Joe Plumber is taking home in oil and gas central.
Trust Hankunderscore
Moncton's stunt
Don't you mean Monckton's cupid stunt.
But I guess it is panto season Monckton for Widow Twankie anyone.
When the audience shouts, 'its behind you' they are alluding to his reputation, and like the crock at the end of the rainbow it will forever be out of his grasp.
russellseitz replied on Permalink
The Ministry of Silly Hats
Monckers is lucky UN security took him into custody before some fashion policeman with a scimitar showed up.
It was hilarious!
I haven't paid that much attention to Monckton before. He might possibly have some blind spots with the science, but he is a very funny satirist and this stunt was hysterical.
Has warming stopped for 16 years? Alright, there's a clear longterm upward trend. 1998 was an El Nino high, which BTW, was also included in Mann's hockey stick. Still, at least for now, it doesn't appear that temps are rising as fast as projected. Is it taboo for anyone on warmist side to admit this?
Temps only inform on sensible heat
I'll leave it to yoiu on how to work out what the other is. Hint - it is one reason for increase in sea level and the driver behind the other reason for same.
Besides, temperature rise has not slowed, unless of course you are trying to go down the up escalator, explanation here:
Continue with your studies.
Ian Forrester replied on Permalink
Check the scientific literature
Conman asks:
"Still, at least for now, it doesn't appear that temps are rising as fast as projected. Is it taboo for anyone on warmist side to admit this?"
Not only do scientists admit this they know exactly why it is happening. Deniers like to think (well I know they can't) that climate scientists say that all temperature variation is due to CO2 concentration. Of course this is a fallacy as any one who has read the scientific literature knows. Climate scientists are well aware that other factors do affect global temperatures. If you remove those other factors you see a pretty consistent rise in temperature.
This is shown in the work of Foster and Rhamstorf:
I never said temps weren't increasing
"0.014 to 0.018 K per year". Certianly worrisome. Works out to 1.6 +- .2 per century. Anyway, interesting article. Thanks for the link.

Preview: Wakefield v Castleford (R28)
It is a case of winner takes all as Wakefield and Catsleford meet for the right to stay in Super League on survival Saturday.
Wakefield will be without centre Ryan Atkins, who has an ankle injury sustained in the win at Bradford. Jason Demetriou is set to switch from the wing while forwards Olivier Elima and Jamie Field join the 18-man squad.
Castleford are set to be unchanged for the third week in a row, with prop Craig Huby likely to be 18th man.
The last time the two teams met, six weeks ago, Wakefield won a fiery encounter 18-0 despite finishing the game with 11 men.
And with so much at stake neither side is likely to take any prisoners on Saturday night.
"It's going to be all guns blazing from the first kick-off," said Wakefield's long-serving hooker David March.
"It's going to be bad news for one club but we've just got to look at our situation.
"We've got to win so we'll do everything we can and, if that means sending Castleford down, which it does, then so be it."
Castleford go into the match knowing a point would be enough for them to avoid a quick return to National League One.
The last time they were relegated from Super League was in 2004, ironically after they lost 32-28 at home against Wakefield.
Castleford coach Terry Matterson has dubbed tonight's game "the derby to end all derbies" and he admits there is a danger of the game boiling over.
"It could do," said Matterson. "There will be a lot of pressure on the man in the middle.
"I was pleased with our discipline last week, it's an area we've worked on. We can't worry about the referee."
Wakefield go into the game having won three games out of their last five while Cas have lost five of their last six. They head into Saturday's game as favourites, although Kear insists his players are taking nothing for granted.
"Even when the pundits said it was a lost cause we just kept our heads down and kept working," he said to Sky Sports.
"Now they are saying we are favourites, but it isn't affecting us whatsover.
"Once again we will be keeping our heads down and working for it. That's how we will approach the day and the game."
Both Wakefield and Castleford have said that they will retain a full-time squad if they are relegated.
Wakefield Trinity Wildcats v Castleford Tigers, Saturday 16th September, kick-off 18:00
Wakefield Trinity Wildcats 18-man squad: Halpenny, Demetriou, Tadulala, Jeffries, Obst, March, Korkidas, Solomona, Betham, Rooney, MacGillivray, Elima, Henderson, J Field, Catic, Watene, Latu, Evans.
Castleford Tigers 18-man squad: Platt, Shenton, Dyer, Sculthorpe, Henderson, Nutley, Bird, Huby, R Fletcher, Viane, Fa'aoso, Manu, McGoldrick, Ward, Davis, Lupton, A Fletcher, Brough.
Referee: R Silverwood

CHICAGO - Alex Rios hit a grand slam and drove in five runs, and Jake Peavy pitched six solid innings in his return from the disabled list to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 10-6 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Saturday.
Rios, who had been in a 2-for-20 slump, went 3-for-5 to help Chicago win for just the 10th time in 32 games.
Peavy (7-4), making his first start since June 4 because of a fractured rib, got off to a shaky start. He allowed a two-run homer to Dan Uggla in the second inning and two more runs in the third. But he shut down the Braves during his final three innings.
He allowed seven hits in six innings, and just two of the four runs charged to him were earned. Braves starter Paul Maholm (9-9) was forced out in the fourth inning because of a sprained left wrist.

The Walrus Says
Scoutmaster Jim Archibald said that the Troop 1's annual Pasta Supper on the 16th was "by far the most successful dinner." With some proceeds and debts still outstanding, the troop took in just over $5,900. The figure includes $825 of donations from island businesses, about $1,000 from the Italian auction and some $330 in ticket sales at the door. The remainder of the $3,750 was from scout ticket sales and $1,800 will be applied to the scout accounts.
There were $600 in receipts for food, bread, postage and incidentals resulting in some $3,500 going into the troop account. The final balance sheet will be available shortly.
The scouts of Troop 1 would like to thank the following organizations, businesses and individuals for their generous contributions to the supper: Island Rubbish, Mc- Quade's Market, Dutra Farm, Rotary, Jamestown Designs, Cindy Waterman, Anchor Bend Glassworks, Aztecs Inc., Stephen Devoe, Greg DiGasper, Evan Corp., John Flinton C.F.P., Livingston Marine, East Ferry Market, R.A.M. Co., Kathryn Jamieson Salon, Anita Haircut, Baretta Realty, Jamestown Oyster Bar, Newport Orthodontists, Jamestown Boatyard, Conanicut Marine Services and Jamestown Hardware.
Also, Island Realty, Nickerson Tree and Landscaping, Bill Del Nero Cleaning, Trattoria Simpatico, Janney & Associates Ltd., Stearns Farms, House of Pizza, Normand Law, Jerry and Tina McIntyre, J.C. Rembijas and Sons, North Kingstown Wal Mart, Urban Flowers L.L.C., Seaside Family Cruises, Grapes & Gourmet and Central Garage.
Kudos to all.
*** Don Barry e-mailed that John Brazil's shoe store was on Narragansett Avenue. "I think it was next to John Molls Garage or a few doors west of that."
Don also knows that Bill Cosby was the co-star on "I Spy" as did Peter C. Pemantell, Pat Dunn who reads the Press on the internet from Florida "as I fondly remember our family's years in Jamestown" and Jeff McDonough, who noted that "Cosby went on to stand-up comedy fame and star in four different television series, one of which was a cartoon for kids."
Peter writes regarding the Grain Store, "Ask Dick Rembijas if he remembers who used to load the bags on the vehicles and also dug graves by hand."
Linda Albaugh writes that John Brazil's shoe store was on Narragansett Avenue where Century 21 is now. And, in a challenge to Peter, asks, where was Pinto's store before it was at 19 Narragansett Ave. where the Chemical Company is now?
A belated happy birthday to North Kingstown's Kay Cutting who was 80 on the 20th.
"Hungry" in the Weight Watchers TV commercials should have his own show.
Kudos to 7-year-old Ethan Roach who boated a 36-inch striper off Brenton Reef last week.
*** Phyllis Anderson of Wilmington, Ohio, writes that she is planning her summer visit to Jamestown
around the July 25 Carr and Clarke schools' reunion at Ft. Getty. "I wonder if my class of 1938 will be the oldest there as I know there aren't very many of us living. I'm looking forward to some real clam chowder."
Phyllis tells of the consequences of teenage cheek to cheek dancing. "Back when I was in my early teens there used to be a Saturday night dance at the Grange Hall which was near my house and where I spent some time. One night, all of a sudden in came a bunch - and I mean a bunch - of soldiers. They were from Fort Getty - the 243rd Coastal Artillery! Later there was a committee formed to build a USO on the island.
My dad, who was not on the committee, heard that my name was brought up as dancing with a soldier cheek to cheek. I should add here that so were the rest of the girls - it was the way to dance. My dad informed me that he would not permit me to attend the dances at the USO until one of my cousins happened to be stationed near by. Since I only had three male cousins of an old enough age that was impossible so he thought I would be okay.
That summer, 1942, I graduated from Rogers High School at the age of 16. I applied at three different places for work and was accepted at all three. I took a job with the ferry company cause it was every other day so I could still have beach time on the off days. I was on the Newport side and one Saturday afternoon six or seven sailors walked into the terminal. Oh joy, one was my cousin Earle who I didn't know was stationed at the Newport training base. Of course, I invited him to supper - I knew my mother wouldn't care.
My dad was a little surprised but fair is fair. We walked down to the USO, he went his way and I went my way. This went on for the whole summer, and I was one happy gal."
Here is a query from Phyllis: "Does anyone know who taught the 5th and 6th grades when Mr. Miller took over the superintendent's job when we left the island in 1943. I know that Mr. Roberts left soon after Mr. Miller took over. I think he went to Middletown so there must have been all new teachers except for Miss Lewis."
*** Be true!

UPDATE: According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Jets and Broncos finally completed a trade for Tim Tebow Wednesday evening.
The deal hit a snag earlier because language in Tebow's contract called for the Jets to pay the Broncos up to $5M. In the end, Schefter reported the Jets agreed to pay half that amount.
He also reported that Tebow had the choice to pick between the Jets and Jaguars, and apparently, he chose New York.
Two big pieces of news broke at just about the same time Wednesday afternoon.
Let's start with Tim Tebow. He's headed to the Jets along with a seventh-round pick in exchange for a fourth-rounder and a sixth-rounder, according to Mike Klis of The Denver Post.
The Jets, of course, have Mark Sanchez as their starter and handed him a contract extension earlier this month. Sanchez has completed 55.3 percent of his passes in three NFL seasons, to go along with a 6.51 yards per attempt average.
Before the Jets acquired Tebow, cornerback Antonio Cromartie Tweeted the following:
Y bring Tebow in when we need to bring in more Weapons for @Mark_Sanchez let's build the team around him. We already signed to 3 year ext.
I'm guessing that will be a bit of an awkward first meeting, and that there will be several cameras present when it takes place.
Meanwhile, Roger Goodell dropped the hammer on the Saints for the bounty scandal. Head coach Sean Payton is suspended for the entire 2012 season. General manager Mickey Loomis is suspended eight games. Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, who has sinced moved on to the Rams, is suspended indefinitely. And Saints assistant head coach/linebackers coach Joe Vitt is out six games. All suspensions are without pay.
The Saints are also fined $500,000. AND New Orleans loses a second-round pick in each of the next two drafts (2012 and 2013).
If you're wondering how the draft pick affects the Eagles' second-round selections, the Saints were scheduled to pick 27th. The Eagles, meanwhile, have picks 14 and 19 (from the Kevin Kolb deal), so those selections are not affected. The Eagles swapped to the 89th pick in the third round with yesterday's DeMeco Ryans trade. That obviously now becomes the 88th overall pick.
The most surprising part of the punishment has to be Payton getting a full season. The Saints went 13-3 a year ago and advanced to the divisional round of the playoffs before falling to the 49ers. They have been unable to come to terms on a new contract with Drew Brees and have instead used the franchise tag, which he hasn't signed.
We'll soon find out what this means for Steve Spagnuolo, who took New Orleans' defensive coordinator job this offseason and could now be forced into some head-coaching duties.
If Goodell wanted to make sure no one accused him of going soft on the Saints, I'd say he accomplished his goal. And while New Orleans was likely not the only team employing these practices, chances are this punishment will do enough to scare off future coaches and players from using bounties. That's a good thing for the game, and the league.
Punishments for individual Saints players are still pending.
Going forward, each NFL owner and coach must confirm to Goodell in writing by March 30 that it is not employing any type of bounty program. And that requirement figures to stick for future years.
Earlier today, I posted on what they're saying about the Eagles' acquisition of Ryans.

The public argument comes on the heels of recent rumours that the two are going to couples therapy to work out the strain that the adoption has put on their marriage. Guy apparently felt rather emasculated throughout the process, relegated to a backseat position while his wife took the lead – some say without consulting him – in bringing David home. Needless to say, for someone with a keenly developed sense of pride, along with a massive directing ego, this kind of treatment can't be easy to swallow, and the fact that he lost his sh-t on his wife in public probably isn't surprising….especially not when you consider her taste in men. Sean Penn, Guy Ritchie, Dennis Rodman…is there a common thread? A volatility thread? Just asking. Here's to hoping La Madge works out her frustration at the gym or on the yoga mat, but not on a horse or a bike and definitely not around the pappies. Another bruise would really just compound the strain of what's been a stressful couple of months, don't you think? Not when their anniversary is just around the corner.

If 1950s Mobsters Went Camping, They'd Take This Cadillac
It's common knowledge that Cadillac cars were once refitted to serve as ambulances (and still bring out the dead as hearses). But did you know that an Eisenhower-era custom shop once turned Caddys into RVs? "Lefty, find us a KOA near Vegas, ya friggin' mook."

LED colour quality, CRI and binning.
14 Comments »
That's very interesting Mr Green. I bought an LED spotlight a while ago and I was very disappointed in the quality of light. Not only was it a very blueish light, but it was not as powerful as I expected. Far too expensive also.. from B&Q in Milton Keynes.
Done some internet browsing and I have found some other LEds available. How do I know they will be better? Any pointers?
Thanks Fred.
I really think this is all too complicated. It's like I have to become conversant in CRI/ Lumens/ Binning and labelling before I can really an informed choice about LEDs. Isn't there a more straight forward version? I DO see the importance of the green idea here, but I need some basic help
Great article Mr. Green for both DIY's as well as people just shopping around for LED bulbs. It's all about making people more informed. Where with incandescent bulbs, an incandescent is an incandescent and they've become a commodity. With LED bulbs the range in both pricing and quality from one bulb to another is huge. We've tested a bunch of them.
@F-entremish: You should look for atleast a 2 Year Warranty on products. Lumens, CRI and "light replacement equivalent" are often mis-stated – unless they've been tested by a third party lab I'd take these ratings with a grain of salt. Also look for side-by-side picture comparisons – this is what we've found to be a great way to show both the color output and light quality of our products.
[…] guys over at littlegreenblog.com have written a GREAT article on exactly what CRI and Color Temperature are and how to get the exact LEDs you need if you plan to build your own LED lights. It's a […]
Great to see a blog post on LEDs too!!
I'm hugely interested in whether they are recyclable and recyclED – any info on that front yet? 🙂
And yes, it's all greatly confusing for me too!
I have a 'decor-LED' it's sort of like a candle or less and very relaxing for times when my eyes were very stressed!!
Some people said quite strong LED reflectors exist already, haven't tried or seen 'in action' any of those yet..
Oh, and Mr Green *built DIY LEDs*?!! /faints/
Now I adore him even more!! Mrs Green you are soo lucky!! 🙂
Hi @Layla: Hi Leyla. The recycling question is still not really addressed, but as I said in the otjer comment, we should not need to recycle LEDs for a long time yet. You may be interested to know that the lifecycle of a LED is NOT measured from "start to finish", but from "start untill the light quality begins to deteriate are grow dim" They do not 'blow' or 'pop' but ever so slowly produce less light.
In fact we can get LEDs that cover every sort of light, from brilliant white to every colour available in the spectrum. From my experience in using and building them, I can say that careful design and use of a shade or light diffuser is very important to modify the light to make it soft and pleasant in the home.
A good article for consumers trying to get information when replacing incandescent bulbs. Here in British Columbia, Canada as of Jan 1st 2011 incandescent bulbs are no longer legally sold. The article remains timely.
The ban will be nation wide in Canada next year due to federal legislation. British Columbia acted unilaterally in banning them this year. I am not sure if any other provinces have done the same but I do not think so.

Adrienne's Charming, Restored Kitchen
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Adrienne
- Location:
- Laguna Beach, CA
- Square Feet:
- 65
- Division:
- Own
- What makes your small kitchen so cool:
- When most people would have updated or completely demolished this tiny 65 square foot cottage kitchen from 1946, we decided to restore it and find appliances and fixtures that would work well with the charming old space. It's the perfect harmony of vintage and contemporary, of functional and quirky, from the custom Viking professional range to the original scalloped trim on the vintage cabinets. As small as it is, it even has a decent sized pass-through by which everyone can hang out and still be apart of the action while cooking and entertaining.
- Describe a challenge you've overcome or a smart resource you've found for your kitchen.:
- When we moved in, there was a behemoth two-door fridge and a rusted out apartment stove that took up almost the entirety of the precious 65 square feet that we had to work with. Getting the fridge out of the room alone was a feat of nature as we ended up having to disassemble it and force it out the nearest window. After months of research, measuring and planning, we were able to find the perfect, small, single-door fridge and a 24" range that would fit the space and have adequate room to spare.
- What's your favorite meal to cook here?:
- It sounds silly and old-fashioned, but my husband and I are obsessed with dried beans from Rancho Gordo up in Napa, CA. We try to make a healthy pot of beans every Monday night with fresh vegetables and herbs from our garden. It's the perfect meal to prepare in a small kitchen like ours. One pot and you're done!

If Campbell Bears' answer, what's the question?
Jay Cutler will not have to worry about a quarterback controversy in his absence.
If nothing else, that much was clear amid the mud and rain Sunday night at Soldier Field.
For however long Cutler is out with a concussion, Jason Campbell will have to show considerably more than he did in the second half Sunday night against Houston or there will be calls for the return of Caleb Hanie and Todd Collins -- if that gives you any indication of how bad Campbell was in relief.
If you need a QB to throw a short pass for a 2-yard loss, it seems Campbell is your man. Other than that, not so much.
The ugly 13-6 loss to Houston was billed as the most important regular-season Bears contest in decades and by national television as the "Game of the Century."
It's a bit ridiculous for a nonconference November tilt, but who lets reality get in the way of epic hyperbole?
Hey, maybe it really was a Super Bowl preview Sunday night at Soldier Field.
Of course, we won't know that until at least Jan. 20, and if it was it will have little impact on two teams that could look much different by the time they depart for New Orleans and Super Bowl XLVII.
There are nine games to play -- including playoffs -- between now and then, injuries to overcome and adjustments to make.
As for its importance, it's as far down the list as you can get in the NFL. It wasn't for the division lead, wasn't a division game, wasn't for conference superiority and wasn't even a bad conference matchup that can still be crucial in tiebreakers.
Huge? No, not so much.
Lovie Smith can use it as a way to remind his bigheaded players that they're not as good as they thought, and Gary Kubiak can say it was a fine litmus test, albeit an early one.
After all, both came in with the same record and very similar styles, and both have a chance to go deep in the playoffs.
It's all about matchups and health in the postseason, when a team with a great record and bad offensive line can go home after one game if they face a dominant defensive line.
Similarly, a team with a hot quarterback facing a team that can't pressure the QB is going to get lit up.
But that's so long from now that no NFL team can predict what the state of affairs will be until the schedule is played out and injuries are added up.
Teams like the Texans (8-1) and Bears (7-2) are merely trying to maintain their strong playoff position and get through the remainder of the season without losing any crucial pieces of the puzzle.
The Bears didn't even make it out of the first half Sunday able to say that.
Cutler got smoked trying to make a play with four minutes left in the second quarter when he stepped over the line of scrimmage, drawing a roughing penalty on Tim Dobbins as well as a flag for his illegal forward pass.
For his trouble, Cutler also picked up a concussion and three plays later threw his second interception of the half. Cutler was in for another four plays at the end of the half but never saw the field after halftime, and the rest of the game was in Campbell's incapable hands.
The Bears' second-half offense resembled that of the old dump-and-chase, pre-Cutler style that has a better chance of boring Bears fans to tears than forcing the opposition to cry over a game-tying TD drive.
The first-half offense was at times able to move against a very strong defense, but 4 turnovers killed the home team. The second-half offense was nonexistent.
So now the Bears must take stock of their weapons, hoping Cutler returns quickly and knowing next week's opponent, the Niners, also lost their starting QB to a concussion.
But Alex Smith is no Jay Cutler and on Sunday Jason Campbell was no Colin Kaepernick.
The Bears have had nothing but breaks in 2012. Nearly everything had gone their way and they were due for some bad luck.
That's exactly what they got Sunday night.

Cali's cheerful nature is manifested in salsa, a Caribbean rhythm that is danced here among the sugarcane in its own unique way. In this city, nicknamed "Branch of Heaven," the peaks of Cristo Rey, the hill of the Three Crosses, and the hills of San Antonio jut upwards from the plains that make up most of Valle del Cauca.

About Valerie Jaudon
Valerie Jaudon is most famous for her role in the Pattern and Decoration Movement of the mid-1970s, which arose as a reaction against the dominance and legacy of Minimalism and Conceptualism. Jaudon's painting practice evokes motifs and the embellishments of folk art, decorative arts, and non-Western traditions of abstraction. The works often use symmetric compositions comprised of repetitive, patterned forms that span the entire surface of a work. More recently, Jaudon has explored how to compose her figures using single, continuous bands of paint. All of her works are part of an ongoing exploration of systems, and in using simple elements to create visually complex images. She is also known for painting with a highly limited palette of two or three colors at a time.

Hooksett school bus to Pinkerton: Prepare for 6 a.m. pickup
By RYAN O'CONNOR
Union Leader Correspondent
— Cawley Middle School eighth-graders, take notice: If Pinkerton Academy is in your future, you'll be setting your alarm clocks earlier in September.
All four of the bus routes to the Derry high school have a first pickup scheduled for 6 a.m., each with drop-off at Pinkerton at 6:50.
Karen Lessard, business administrator for SAU 15, which covers Hooksett, Candia and Auburn, said the earlier pickup times for approximately 110 students are simply a product of Pinkerton beginning classes a half-hour earlier than Manchester high schools, which Hooksett students have traditionally attended.
"Before we put this together, we waited to see which kids were planning on going to Pinkerton because we didn't want to send buses to areas of town that we didn't need to," said Lessard, who coordinates transportation for the district. "As it turns out, we pretty much needed to cover the whole town anyway."
Current high school buses begin picking up students at 6:35 a.m. and drop them off at Trinity, Central and West between 7:20 and 7:30 a.m. The longest current Manchester route, bus 11, makes its first pickup on Rockingham Road at 6:36 a.m. and drops students at Central 54 minutes later.
"Obviously, whether we're going to Manchester or to Derry, it adds time to the trip," said Lessard, who noted district policy mandates a maximum transportation time of one hour.
Lessard said the four Pinkerton buses are in addition to the district's 16 current bus routes to Manchester and Cawley; those routes will be almost identical next year.
Melissa Bouldin, a current Pinkerton sophomore from Hooksett, said getting up early is tough, but the extra-half hour doesn't make much of a difference.
"I don't think it's that bad. We leave around that time anyway, so it really shouldn't be an issue," she said.
Bouldin's mother, Kim, works in Londonderry and drops her daughter off each morning, but she said the relatively early bus pickup time wouldn't bother her.
"I'm up at 5 everyday anyway, so it's worth it for them to have the transportation," she said. "We often do carpools where we meet at 6:30 at K-Mart, so 6 o'clock, 6:30, once you're up it really doesn't make much of a difference."
Phil Denbow, chairman of the Hooksett warrant article information subcommittee, said it is important to School Board members that the bus information be published before the March 11 vote on Article 3 on the Hoooksett School District warrant, which details the proposed 10-year tuition agreement with Pinkerton.
"There was an estimate done earlier in the year, and obviously the distance is the distance, but one of the concerns we heard from parents who came out to the Pinkerton information night is they wanted to know the bus routes before the vote," Denbow said.

Whatever Happened to 'Married With Children' Star David Faustino? [PHOTO]
Then: David Faustino entered annoying TV brother history in 1987, playing hopeless horndog Bud Bundy in the raunchy sitcom 'Married . . . With Children.' Faustino — who sported one of the era's most memorable mullets — had been a working actor since the age of five.
Now: Faustino's consistent post-'Married' run of B-movies, guest star roles and reality TV has made him more successful than the average former child star. Recently, Faustino got good reviews for playing an exaggerated version of himself in the web series 'Star-Ving.' The 37-year-old also co-owns a nightclub and a restaurant in the Los Angeles-area. That little sleazeball Bud Bundy would be impressed.

This Year is the 5th Anniversary of XPN Free At Noon
Indie poppers Nada Surf, made up of Matthew Caws, Daniel Lorca and Ira Elliot, have been a band for over 12 years. After Caws and Lorca met in high school, they began playing together and performing in small venues throughout New York City. When Elliot joined them in 1995, the newly formed trio pushed towards producing their debut LP "High/Low," which included their hit MTV track "Popular." Though they initially met success mostly across seas, by the time their 2003 album "Let Go" was released, they were a main hit here in the states. Over the years to follow the band would release a a total of five studio albums, all of which displayed their rich rock pop style, which is full of driving rhythms, great guitar riffs and incredibly sincere and honest lyrics.
Following their emotionally restless though overall optimistic album "Lucky," the trio takes a completely unexpected turn. Even though their latest album "if i had a hi-fi" displays the same sense of careful attention to haromony and craftsmanship, they've managed to do so while covering their favorite songs. That's right, this is a complete cover collection, ranging from covers of Kate Bush to the Go-Betweens to Bill Fox. It seems that not too long ago they had finished up their tour for "Lucky," but they are back in action this spring with a full-fledged international tour lined up.

Vermont's youth deer hunting weekend is Nov. 9-10, the Saturday and Sunday before the rifle deer season opens.
"Vermont's special youth deer hunting weekend helps ensure that young hunters get the quality training and experiences they need for lifelong participation," said Fish & Wildlife Hunter Education Coordinator Chris Saunders. "By design, the youth weekend hunt reinforces the route of initiation that is critical in recruitment — learning through the family."
Anyone, resident or nonresident, who is 15 years old or younger on the weekend of the hunt and who has successfully completed a hunter education course may purchase a hunting license and obtain a free youth deer hunting tag.
The young hunter must be accompanied by an unarmed adult over 18 years of age who holds a Vermont hunting license. The adult may accompany up to two young hunters.
The law now requires the adult to have direct control and supervision, including the ability to see and communicate with the youth hunter without the aid of artificial devices such as radios or binoculars. Landowner permission is required in order to hunt on private land during the youth deer hunt weekend.
The young hunter may take one deer of either sex. The antler restriction that applies for other Vermont deer seasons does not apply for youth deer hunting weekend.
A violation of the youth deer hunting law can result in a fine that is doubled and assessed against the adult who accompanies the youth.
A Fish & Wildlife Department survey proved that Vermont's youth hunting seasons work. Current youth hunters, past youth hunters and their mentors were highly satisfied with their experiences, and this translated into an increased desire to hunt in the future. Perhaps most telling of all, the youth hunting weekend was the first time hunting for 69 percent of youth hunters.

The discussion no longer was about the prospect of creating value through improved information flow that would allow producers to improve their marketing and production by better responding to consumer needs. It was no longer about improving production efficiency or the quality of the product through improved genetics and management.
Mandatory ID is now just as much about ensuring the health of the cattle herd and the economic health of ranchers. It's about disease control and eradication, and dealing with bio-security threats.
At the same time, animal ID (source-, process- and genetic-verified cattle) has become an issue of market access. Most experts agree that traceability will soon become a requirement of the marketplace. Speed of implementation has also become an issue as the U.S. trails many countries in having a workable system in place.
These pressures also have put the government into the animal ID debate in a big way. APHIS has been very clear it wants a multi-specie animal ID system. As a result, the National Institute for Animal Agriculture, along with the U.S. Animal Health Association, has been actively involved in the process of creating guidelines.
The complexity of tracking an animal through the production system is well known. The multi-specie aspect only adds to the difficulty.
As a result of these frustrations, the most unlikely of bedfellows announced last week an alliance that would create the Beef Information Exchange (BIE). Formed with the purpose of creating a platform upon which information can be exchanged, BIE is a coalition of five companies competing in the animal ID and information networking marketplace. It includes AgInfoLink, APEIS, eMerge Interactive, IMI Global and Micro Beef Technologies. All these companies have been active participants in USDA's National Identification Developmental team.
At the most fundamental level, this alliance is a giant step forward for the industry. Implementation of these companies' systems has thus far been limited by producer fear about purchasing another "Betamax-style" machine. Betamax, you might recall, was a video technology superior to VHS. But, when VHS became the industry standard, those who owned a Betamax found themselves unable to utilize the technology.
A shared platform where information can be exchanged is crucial. Such a shared platform would allow a cow-calf producer using one system to link and exchange information with a feed yard operating on a different product line, and both would be able to work with a packer using another, etc. A set of industry standards allows fiercely competitive companies to compete openly, yet assures all of them access.
This alliance also sends a clear message on two points. First, that the millions of dollars and years of time invested by these companies should be utilized. And secondly, that the government needn't create a system from scratch, but incorporate already existing programs. The BIE alliance also minimizes the need for one national database and the specter of "Big Brother" in the cattle business.
It would be a mistake, however, to view the alliance as pure altruism. These companies have a vested interest in helping design the system to ensure they maintain their competitive advantage in the marketplace.
The take-home message is that the industry must avoid turning over the creation of a national ID system to either the government or the private sector. Rather, the industry must take an active leadership role in defining the standards and platforms that will exist, while letting the free market and private companies compete freely within that context.
A multi-species framework that fails to fully understand the complexities and intricacies of the beef industry would be disastrous. So would a government-mandated monstrosity that makes implementation difficult if not cost prohibitive. But, a system created by an alliance of suppliers with the aim of controlling access to the marketplace is not the correct approach, either.
The key is rapidly developing a framework within which the system can function efficiently, with rules that are flexible enough to allow everybody to participate.

Bruins head coach Claude Julien was obviously impressed enough by Tuukka Rask's 34-save performance in Columbus Tuesday to roll the dice with the netminder in a game against a team that's higher in the standings.
Rask will start tonight against the Nashville Predators, who counter with their own Finnish netminder Pekka Rinne.
By going with Rask, Julien went against the advice of readers of TheBruinsBlog.net:
The Predators, as of the start of play tonight, aren't a Western Conference playoff team, and they rank 26th in the league in offense. But they're still a little stiffer competition for Rask, whose recent victories have all come against Columbus, Edmonton, Ottawa and the New York Islanders, with a loss to Montreal mixed in.
If he doesn't play tonight but gets the start Saturday night in Toronto, Tim Thomas will play on seven days rest against the Maple Leafs.
While Rask got a second shot to play this week, Andrew Ference remained on the sidelines. And Michael Ryder moved into the lineup in place of suspended Brad Marchand. Here are the lines as per warm-ups:

DVLA urged to consider number plate recognition
Keeping an eye on vehicle tax evasion
An NAO report has said the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) should consider using automatic number plate recognition to estimate the level of vehicle tax evasion.
The report (pdf) says that despite receiving many plaudits for its electronic vehicle licensing (EVL) system, which enables customers to pay vehicle excise duty (VED) and obtain a licence online, the DVLA has experienced a significant rise in tax evasion.
As a result, the DVLA has little prospect of achieving its evasion target of 2.5 per cent by December this year, or meeting its related Gershon efficiency target to generate, through the reduction in evasion, an additional £70m in revenue each year by the end of March 2008.
According to the Department for Transport's (DfT) roadside survey in June 2006, VED evasion has risen to five per cent, up from 3.6 per cent the previous year. The survey also estimates that the proportion of unlicensed motorcyclists has increased to 37 per cent from 30 per cent in 2005.
Outlining the findings in its report published on 19 July 2007, the National Audit Office recommends that the DfT and DVLA "should consider alternative sources of evasion estimates, such as automatic number plate recognition systems, even if they are only partial and closely targeted".
The report qualifies this, however, by stating that the increase in VED evasion may partly be a result of people wanting to avoid congestion charging and being caught for crimes through ANPR enforcement.
The report concedes that as ANPR is usually targeted at particular risks, the results would need expert statistical interpretation if such data were to be used to estimate the overall level of evasion across the country. But it also highlighted the advantages of ANPR data, describing it as "geographically pervasive, covers the whole period under review and scans far greater numbers of vehicles during the year than the roadside survey".
The NAO also says the EVL scheme has failed to close the licensing gaps that existed in the old Post Office paper based system. The DVLA issues late licensing penalties to those who have not renewed their licence two months after the end of the previous expiry date. But customers who obtain a licence starting a month after their previous one has expired are not issued with a penalty notice.
According to the NAO, the situation reflects the length of time it used to take for the Post Office to notify licensing activity to the DVLA. As the EVL was designed as an electronic parallel to the Post Office system, the same licensing gaps may occur.
Some £450m (10 per cent) of VED revenue was collected through the EVL system in 2006-07, its first full financial year, but the agency has neither estimated the VED revenue lost due to licensing gaps, nor analysed its impact on evasion rates.

PARIS (AP) — France's economy is in recession again — and that could spell more trouble for Europe.
The national statistics agency, Insee, said Wednesday that gross domestic product fell 0.2 percent in the first quarter of the year. The agency also revised its data for the fourth quarter of last year, saying GDP fell 0.2 percent, up from a 0.3 percent retraction. A recession is defined as two consecutive quarters of negative growth.
News of the fall into recession comes on the first anniversary of President Francois Hollande's swearing in. During that year, Hollande has had to deal with mounting economic problems. France's economy hasn't grown significantly in nearly two years and European data show it was last in recession at the beginning of 2012. Economists say its high unemployment rate of 10.6 percent is more proof that its economy is in trouble.
A recession in France, the eurozone's second-largest economy, is likely to exacerbate problems around the region since it is a major market for its neighbors.
Slow growth is plaguing many European countries as they struggle to cut their spending and debts, and France's finance minister blamed his country's problems on the region.
"We are in Europe, the eurozone countries are our main clients and our main suppliers, and when the environment around us is depressed, well, that's the main factor in the slowing of the French economy," Pierre Moscovici told reporters after Wednesday's Cabinet meeting.
But France's problems also stem from high government spending, a sclerotic labor market and sliding competitiveness among its companies. Household consumption and production of good and services were both down, according to Insee. Expenditure on manufactured goods, especially cars, was hit hard, falling 0.9 percent in the first quarter.
Despite the grim news, Moscovici said the government is maintaining its projection that the economy will grow 0.1 percent this year and that it will manage to begin to bring down unemployment by the end of the year.

(Reuters) - Planned Parenthood, the largest U.S. abortion provider, filed a lawsuit in federal court on Friday challenging part of a new Texas law which the group said will dramatically reduce access to safe abortions, especially in rural areas of the huge state.
The lawsuit does not challenge two other restrictions that would prohibit abortion 20 weeks or more after the date of fertilization, except to save the life of the mother, and would require major upgrades to most abortion clinics to meet hospital surgical standards.
"We're in court today to stop a terrible situation for women in Texas from getting even worse," said Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, which was joined by the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups in bringing the lawsuit.
In a conference call with reporters, the groups said they were challenging a provision stating that doctors who provide abortions must have admitting privileges at a local hospital, and another part that requires direct supervision of a doctor for women to receive the so-called "abortion pill" RU-486.
Asked why the groups were not including the other provisions, Jim George, a lawyer for the groups said: "The simple answer is you can only do so much at once."
Opponents contend the parts of the law challenged in court would make it more difficult for women to get an abortion in rural areas of the vast state. They also say that abortion is a relatively safe procedure that requires very few women to be admitted to a hospital.
Supporters of the law say that requiring a doctor to have admitting privileges at a hospital is designed to improve protections and the safety of women getting abortions in the event of medical complications.
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, who was named in the lawsuit, had no immediate comment on action.
The issue has dominated Texas politics and helped to elevate the profile of a leading Democratic critic, state Senator Wendy Davis, who staged a nearly 11-hour filibuster against abortion restrictions and has told supporters she may run for governor.
Texas state Senator Dan Patrick, a Republican from Houston who was a sponsor of the abortion bill, criticized the lawsuit. "Every time the Democrats lose in the legislature, they go to court and sue," Patrick said.

The head of an agency, or his or her designee, may at his or her sole discretion provide service credit that otherwise would not be creditable under 5 U.S.C. 6303(a) for the purpose of determining the annual leave accrual rate to -
a newly-appointed or reappointed employee with a break of at least 90 calendar days after his or her last period of civilian employment in the civil service*; or
a retired member of the active duty uniformed service as defined by 38 U.S.C. 4303.
This is a discretionary flexibility agencies can use to meet their strategic human capital needs - an employee has no entitlement to this credit.
* The "civil service" consists of all appointive positions in the executive, judicial, and legislative branches of the Government of the United States, except positions in the uniformed services.
The head of an agency, or his or her designee, must determine that the skills and experience the employeepossesses are -
essential to the new position and were acquired through performance in a non-Federal or active duty uniformed service position having duties which directly relate to the duties of the position to which he or she is being appointed; and
necessary to achieve an important agency mission or performance goal.
The head of an agency, or his or her designee, must make the determination to approve an employee's qualifying prior work experience before the employee enters on duty - the determination cannot be made retroactively.
The amount of service credit that may be granted to an employee is determined at the sole and exclusive discretion of the head of the agency, or his or her designee.
The amount of service credited to an employee may not exceed the actual amount of service during which he or she performed duties directly related to the position to which he or she is being appointed.
Once an employee is permanently credited with a period of non-Federal service or active duty uniformed service (after completion of 1 full continuous year with the appointing agency), that period of service may not be considered for further credit if the employee has a future break in service.
An employee must submit written documentation acceptable to the agency of -
the employee's qualifying non-Federal service; or
written documentation from the military services of the employee's uniformed service.
The agency must establish documentation and recordkeeping procedures sufficient to allow reconstruction of each action.
Credit for prior work experience or experience in a uniformed service is granted to the employee upon the effective date of his or her initial appointment to the agency or reappointment after a 90-day break in service.
Once an employee completes 1 full year of continuous service with the appointing agency, the period of service for which the employee was granted service credit for non-Federal or active duty uniformed service work experience is permanently creditable for the purpose of determining the employee's annual leave accrual rate for the duration of the employee's career.
If an employee is placed in a leave without pay status during the required 1-year period of continuous service, the 1-year period of continuous service must be extended by the amount of time in a leave without pay status unless -
the employee separates or is placed in a leave without pay status to perform service in the uniformed services (as defined in 38 U.S.C. 4303 and 5 CFR 353.102) and later returns to civilian service through the exercise of a reemployment right provided by law, Executive order, or regulation; or
the employee separates or is placed in a leave without pay status because of an on-the-job injury with entitlement to injury compensation under 5 U.S.C. Chapter 81 and later recovers sufficiently to return to work.
If an employee separates from Federal service or transfers to another Federal agency prior to completing 1 full year of continuous service with his or her appointing agency -
the employee is not entitled to retain service credit for prior non-Federal service or active duty uniformed service;
the appointing agency must subtract the additional service credit from the employee's total creditable service, and a new service computation date for leave must be established;
any annual leave accured or accumulated by the employee remains to the employee's credit; and
the agency must transfer the annual leave balance to the new employing agency if the employee is transferring to a position to which annual leave may be transferred, or provide a lump-sum payment for unused annual leave if the employee is separating from Federal service or moving to a new position to which annual leave cannot be transferred.
B73: You are receiving (enter yrs. and mos., e.g. 2 yrs., 6 mos.) credit toward your SCD-Leave shown in Block 31 for the following period(s) of non-Federal service: (list all applicable "from" and "to" dates).

It's not often that I write a speculative article, but recent news about an upcoming HTC device for T-Mobile has managed to catch my attention and ignite a flicker of hope that we may see a QWERTY equipped T-Mobile G3 in the next few months.
The news
According to TmoNews, the HTC Era 42 will be heading to T-Mobile this fall. The handset name was spotted in an image of a T-Mobile computer system with a date of September 26th. No additional details regarding form factor, price or specifications are currently available.
The speculation
Based on what I have heard from several HTC and T-Mobile sources, the HTC Era 42 may in fact launch as the T-Mobile G3 – featuring a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, stock Android and specifications which will rival the HTC One series.
The evidence
As stated above, the T-Mobile G3 is pure speculation at this point, but there are a few pieces of evidence that can be used to stitch a more cohesive picture together. As David from TmoNews pointed out, the original T-Mobile G1 has a connection with the Era moniker. While most of us came to know the phone as the G1 or HTC Dream, it was known as the HTC Era G1 in Poland and several other eastern European countries.
Since launch dates are a moving target, it's impossible to know if the September 26th date associated with the HTC Era 42 is when T-Mobile plans on releasing the phone. One thing we do know is that a late September or early October launch will line up closely with the two year anniversary of the T-Mobile G2′s October 6th launch date.
Final thoughts
If you think this post is lacking any hard evidence, you are right. Based on hard evidence, all we really know is that T-Mobile may be planning to launch an HTC handset this fall. There are plenty of Android fans out there who would love to get their hands on a QWERTY equipped G series device which runs on stock Android, but it's up to T-Mobile to decide if a handset that fits that bill is worth an investment. HTC announced that QWERTY devices were not going to be a main focus for the company in the future, but they do realize that "the [QWERTY] market's there, the sort of the die hard community, they keep wanting it, there's definitely still a market for it."
What are your thoughts on the current evidence and the possibility of a T-Mobile G3 for this fall? Would you be interested in buying a QWERTY equipped Android device running an unskinned version of Jelly Bean?

Gigabyte GA-X79-UD5 LGA 2011 EATX Motherboard Review
BIOS Features
Gigabyte has transformed the UEFI BIOS concept for their series of X79 motherboards. They created a 3D BIOS using their DualBIOS technology they patented several years ago. The 3D BIOS technology is based off two 8MB ROMs that provide users with primary and backup UEFI BIOS. The graphical interface is more pleasing to the eye versus older Award BIOS, but some users will have to learn where all the basic BIOS functions are located for monitoring temperatures and voltages and overclocking the CPU and memory.

I'm going crazy with this setup and hope somebody can help me. I7-3960X with 8 sticks of 8GB Crucial memory CT102464BA1339 stuffed into an X79-UD5 Everything is supposedly compatable, according to the HCL lists, and all the techs I've talked to from all three companies agree that it should work. Plenty of power, 1000W Cooler Master power supply, all the plugs ring out active with a volt meter. I've played with memory timings until I'm blue in the face. I'm on my third motherboard because GB thought there might be a problem with it, I'm on my second set of RAM, and on my second processor, still with the same results. Not matter what I do, if I populate more than DRAM-1 and DRAM-2 it goes into a rapid beep and won't even load the bios. Populating only 1 and 2 allows me to get into the bios and try to tweak the voltage and timing settings, but they always seem to cause an issue when it boots even if I'm adjusting the timings to a slower rate than what it was from stock. I've been building computers for 25 years now, and have never had this much trouble.
Ron, did you ever resolve this? I too have a maxed-out kit, but I've not even been able to get to the bios - as soon as the power is on, I'm just getting a string of beeps, which lasts about 20-30 seconds before ceasing. I've tried different RAM combos, and even thought it might be the graphics card, but have three to try with, yet no success. Driving me crazy.
I have a brand new Gigabyte X79 UD5 sitting in the box next to me. In front is an Intel 3930K and to my right are two 16GB quad kits from Corsair-2133 C9 1.5V. And on the box on the table behind me are two Evga 670 FTW's. I have a new Corsair 1200 W Pro Gold, an Asus Essence, an Areca Raid Card-1882 ix-12 4GB Memory. I have A Direct Connect via an 8088 SAS cable to a CineRaid 4Bay 6GB/sec self powered and cooled with a backplane to take the 8088 cable from the Areca. I have 3 SAS mini 8087 Breakout Sata 3 cable with each supplies four hard drives. I have 4 Seagate highend 300GB 15.7 K Cheetahs ready to be dropped into the CineRaid running 1.2TB in a Raid 0 thought a 6gb/sec raid card with an intel dual core processor and 4 gigs of memory and sitting in a X8 3.0 PCIe slot. The numbers coming out of that box will melt an SSD. I have 4 Vertex 4 128GB ready to be placed into a Raid 0 for the operating system. And to top it off I have 8 WD 1TB Blacks to fill out my Corsair 800D case. I am cooling the processor with a brand new and "rare" Coolitsystems Freezone Elite, and have 5 PWM fans to be integrated into the Bios cooling, with another 6 fans being run off of a Kaze Master Pro A. I am dropping in two Optical Drives- Plextor3d BluRay Burner, Plextor DVD Burner. I will install one USB 3.0 Pro37 U for high speed compact flash reading from a Nikon D800E.
My question is, should I be having second thoughts about the capability of the Gigabyte X79 UD5? I have come to the conclusion that there isn't an X79 board on the market yet that is a 5 star board hands down. I already know that Intel isn't showing the board makers their whole hand forcing the X79 folks to get creative with Bios Hacks, and Registry mods to give us 40 lanes. Nothing Native about any of these boards. I don't need a Rampage three with 30 PCIe X 16 3.0 slots and I run as fast as I can from all of these falsely advertised 16 lane bombs known as Z77's. The Asus Deluxe for $280 had a whopping 4 PCIE X1 slots- yes I have four sound cards!! and it provide 3 PCIe x16 3.0 slots but they never talked about these board's mamouth limitations in any of the reviews in that if you put a new 680 in the first slot you have X16, but drop anything into slot 2 and slot one is now back to a X8 which is nothing more than what we already had in the X16 2.0 boards! And if you make the mistake of dropping in anything into slot 3, you just toasted slot 2 and made it a X4 along with slot 3. WOW-- what a great motherboard you can have tri sli with a x8/x4/x4 with your new $1500 of 3.0 video cards.
So how long do I wait with all of these great build parts? Gigabyte says they have an amazing X79 refresh, will it be the improvement that is deserving of all these great components? I run from the Z77 as it is an EOL long before it was put on the market. No upgrades coming except a plug called Thunderbolt that has nothing that I own to plug into!
Any suggestions?
I had the same trouble. But I managed to get mine going after having discovered that this board does not like you using XMP at all. Had to turn down to 1333 mhz and have not touched my voltage settings. This is with all 8 channels full. Hope this helps.

text: This is a chapter sermon for Dr. King's book "Where Do We Go From Here?" The civil rights leader traces the early development of Black Power and its eventual surge onto the national political scene. Though understood as a direct opposition to the nonviolent movement that organizations like SCLC, CORE, and SNCC originally supported, King describes Black Power as a "disappointment wrapped in despair."

Tschanz family name
Tschanz (Tschantz), a family name found among the Mennonites in Switzerland. Hans Tschanz of Kiesen was in prison at Bern in May 1567; after much reluctance he was finally "converted" through torture, admitting that he had erred in rejecting arms-bearing and the oath, and was now willing "to go into the (State) church."
In the 18th century Mennonites by this name are found in the Bernese Jura, from where a certain Amish Tschanz moved to America as early as ca. 1733, followed by other members of this family. In 1824 and 1835 members of the Tschantz family from the Sonnenberg congregation in the Bernese Jura settled in Wayne County, Ohio. In America the name is usually written Schantz, Schanz, or Shantz.

Is there a forum or information somewhere about constructing large lenses with rather large image circles.
In Photo 1 I often turn the classroom into a camera obscura to help excite students about photography. I think showing them how a lens affects the exposure and the sharpness would help. It doesn't need to be super complex or sharp. just needs to get the basic ideas across.

The exhibit, which opened during the nature center's Butterfly Day on November 20, combines macro-photography with interpretive information to foster appreciation of our area's unique and complex ecosystem. Approximately a hundred butterfly species, or about half of all that occur in Florida, have been found in subtropical South Florida, approximately 80 of which are represented in the exhibit. Most of these are uncommon to rare, with about two dozen listed by the state as imperiled.
The exhibit comes to us from the Miami Blue Chapter of the North American Butterfly Association (NABA), made possible in part by a grant from South Florida National Parks Trust. The photos are by Jamie Bernard, Linda Cooper, Ron Nuehring, Bill Perry, Hank Poor, Holly Salvato, Jim Spencer, Mickey Wheeler, and Michelle Wisniewski.
NABA was formed in 1992; the Miami Blue Chapter was established in 2000 by a dedicated friend of the Big Cypress National Preserve, Dr. Robert L. Kelley (1937-2006). Our Broward Chapter has an active membership that sponsors lectures, special events, and butterfly counts. NABA is a membership-based, nonprofit organization working to increase the public awareness, enjoyment, and conservation of butterflies. Its local chapters sponsor field trips, educational programs, and conservation initiatives. Butterfly collecting is not endorsed except for bona fide scientific research.
