7 K-drama drinking games you should be playing right now
I recently read that the average South Korean drinks 11.2 shots of liquor each week. My first thought on reading this statistic? I've got some catching up to do! And I came up with some good ways to do it. So go get your bottle of soju, your favorite show, and a friend (you can't pour your own drinks in this game!), and get ready to have a little fun with your K-drama addiction.
1. The "Physical Signs of Love" drinking game
This game is for those of us who like to pay attention to subtle, and not so subtle, clues that our leads might be falling in love.
Do a shot of soju every time someone gets a piggy back ride, someone gets a back hug, someone gets a wrist grab, someone gets a kiss, someone almost gets a kiss, or someone feels their heart and wonders, omo, why is it beating so fast?
2. The "Dangers of Living in a K-drama" drinking game
This game is for those of us who are acutely aware of all the sinister danger that lurks in a K-drama.
From the safety of your living room, drink every time someone gets amnesia, nearly gets hit by a car, someone really gets hit by a car (if this causes amnesia, double shot!), someone gets splashed with a huge puddle of water, someone gets an organ transplant, or someone nearly dies.
3. The "Say What you Mean" drinking game
Instead of suffering through the frustration of wanting to throttle everyone for not just saying how they feel already and saving us 10 more episodes of pain, drink it out instead. Drink every time someone could say something to resolve EVERYTHING, but instead silently glowers and is misunderstood, someone lies to someone else in a misguided attempt to help them, or someone lies to someone else in an overt attempt to not help them
Warning: even though there are only three rules, this game will get you really, really drunk, because K-dramas.
Can Rain and Krystal overcome a tragic past to find new love? Find out in My Lovable Girl
4. The Second Male Lead Game
For those of us who are tortured by the fact that the one we are rooting for is destined to not get the girl, here is a game to ease the pain.
Drink every time the second male lead does something way nicer for the heroine than the main lead, the second male lead looks at the heroine with total adoration while she is not looking, you second guess who the heroine is going to end up with because your heart is foolish and you will never learn, or you want to throttle the heroine for not choosing the guy who actually treats her well.
5. The "Parents are Evil" drinking game
Every time the evil parent, step-parent, or sibling does something, well, evil, drink. Plotting evil deeds counts too.
6. The "Is it Hot in Here?" drinking game
This one mixes some of my favorite pastimes, drinking and attractive men. Drink every time there is an unnecessary shower scene, you rewind to rewatch said shower scene, there is an unnecessary dressing scene that shows abs, there is an unnecessary skin scene of any kind, or the actor makes your heart skip a beat just by looking so damn good, fully clothed or not.
Warning: Do not play this game with anything starring So Ji Sub. There is not enough soju in the world. You will end up like this:
7. The "Seven Degrees of Lee Min Ho" drinking game
A variation of the old Kevin Bacon standard, this is for the pros when you want to go out on the town with your friends and still talk K-dramas.
Drink every time you can take an actor, actress, director, or writer, and link them back to Lee Min Ho within seven steps.
So there are a few I'll be playing. What drinking game would you suggest to add a little flavor to your binge-watching night?

Adam Cartwright's Horse from BONANZA®!
BONANZA®! One of the longest-running Western series (1959-1973) on TV followed the Cartwright™ family: father Ben, (portrayed by actor Lorne Greene), and sons Adam, (Pernell Roberts), Hoss (Dan Blocker), and Little Joe (Michael Landon) on their 1860s Nevada Territory ranch. Great casting can be credited for the show's many horse-loving fans, as each Cartwright cowboy was paired with a mount uniquely suited to their characters.
Eldest brother Adam, the de facto ranch foreman, rode Sport, a bright chestnut-colored part Thoroughbred gelding. Adam was played by actor Pernell Roberts, who was a natural athlete and worked hard to perfect his riding skills. He was the wranglers' favorite because he was not afraid to admit he had a lot to learn, and they were always willing to give lessons to an eager pupil.
Initially Pernell's character was paired up with a horse named Beauty. Rambunctious and high spirited, Beauty liked to throw back his head, and was replaced by season four with Sport. Except for his hooves that looked like white slippers, Sport and Beauty looked almost identical. Adam rode Sport for the rest of his tenure on the Ponderosa, and when giving chase or riding by Lake Tahoe towards Virginia City, the pair often led his family and their mounts.
This beautiful model of Sport is hand-painted and highly collectible, and is sure to inspire new generations of Bonanza fans!

U.S. warplanes carried out more strikes along Taleban frontlines as the U.N. special envoy for Afghanistan met with Pakistan's president to discuss establishing a broad-based government in Afghanistan. A senior Pakistani military figure pledged continued support for the U.S. led fight against terrorist targets in Afghanistan.
Huge explosions were reported along Taleban front lines north of Kabul, as well as on the outskirts of the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif. Earlier, terrorist and military-related targets were hit around Kandahar in the south and Jalalabad in the east.
The commander of the U.S. military campaign in Afghanistan, General Tommy Franks has strongly defended U.S. actions.
Speaking in Uzbekistan, following talks in Pakistan with President Pervez Musharraf, General Franks denied reports that the air campaign is not achieving its aim of destroying Taleban defenses. He says U.S. forces will maintain the initiative, and will not be subject to an outside timeline for achieving their goals.
In Islamabad, Pakistan's Presidential spokesman, Major General Rashid Quereshi says there is "complete understanding" between the United States and Pakistan following General Franks visit to Islamabad. But he would not divulge any details of the talks.
General Quereshi says Pakistan is concerned about the accidental deaths of civilians in the bombing campaign. "Pakistan is supporting and cooperating with the world community in the fight against terrorism," he said. "So basically it is against terrorist-related activities or people that Pakistan is supporting this action. However, I do agree that there is collateral damage. In the process there have been civilian casualties - erroneously I might add - and Pakistan remains committed to the welfare of Afghanistan and of the Afghan people. To say this is an operation against the country, against Muslims or Islam, is unfair and incorrect."
Meanwhile, the U.N. special envoy for Afghanistan met with Pakistan's president. U.N. officials say Lakhdar Brahimi also met with senior Afghan exile leaders in Pakistan and will meet with other Afghans as well - although there are no plans at present for discussions with the Taleban.
A spokesman for Pakistan's Foreign Ministry says Mr. Brahimi's mission is to accelerate the process of achieving a broad-based post-Taleban government in Afghanistan.

What words of support can I offer a friend who's a family caregiver?
I'm emailing back and forth with an old friend who suddenly finds himself a caregiver to his wife who had a stroke a few months ago and is slowly recovering but far from out of the woods. He openly admitted at first that he was on an emotional roller coaster, but hasn't mentioned anything of the sort since. I'm trying not to repeat the old platitudes caregivers hear repeatedly, but I don't quite know what I SHOULD say--is it better to stay "light" and fun, and offer a distraction, or...?
Expert Answers
It's been my experience that caregivers welcome distractions, especially the funny kind, as much as they welcome counsel when the emotional roller coaster ride becomes overwhelming. I happen to think that those who can provide both kinds of support make the best kind of friends. That said, don't feel pressure to choose one approach with your e-mails. Instead, follow your friend's lead by responding to whatever he throws out to you as genuinely as you can. For example, if you cannot begin to imagine how tough "x" must be for him, then say just that. The more genuine you are, the more support you'll convey even if you feel that you don't have any answers. This should take the guesswork out of things for you and allow your friend to be himself knowing you can be a source of support no matter what kind of day he's having.
Community Answers
Great question. That you bother to ask tells me that you are the kind of friend to have in this situation. As a person who is caring for my husband, the best friend is one who fulfills the scriptural command to weep with those who weep and laugh with those who laugh. And, yes, both of those are me on any given day. As Ms. Lipani already said, followyour friend's lead andbe sensitive tohis tone in his e-mails.One of the least helpful things, in my own experience, is the friend who is eager to tell you every horror story she's ever heard about Parkinson's and its progression. It may surprise some people to know that those of us dealing with PD or some other disease have probably read every word on the subject that they can find and have far more knowledge than they know what to do with. Hearing someone else's horrific experience does not encourage us - or should I say that it doesn't encourage me. Since you seem to have a distance relationship with your friend, may I offer a few suggestions that have helped me. I love getting random cards and notes. E-mail is great but there's nothing quite like getting a card in your mailbox. A friend gave mea gift certiciate to a local restaurant with a note to take a friend and spend some me time relaxing. Another friend comes by one afternoon a week to sit with my husband. Another friend calls sometimes just to day she's thinking about me and wanted to let me know. Any gesture, however small, is such an encouragement because it means someone cares. The friend who will listen and allow me to vent without judging me is an angel. Thanks for being a friend.
As a caregiver for both my husband(severe stroke), and my parents (88 and beginning dementia), what is most helpful to me is just being able to do a verbal dump of all that is going on. The last thing I usually want to hear is advice. The most helpful things that friends have done is ask questions, which may cause me to see what is happening in a different perspective.
They say that sometimes you are too close to a problem to see a solution, well, caregiving is about as close as you can get. Seeing things from other perspecitves is invaluable. You may be helping your friend do this with just being an email support. Continue what you're doing, and most of all continue to ask how your friend is - every one always asks about the person being cared for - few ask how the caregiver is.
Best of wishes to you.
I have asked friends that are far away to send cards as well. I ask for the musical cards or better yet, those where they can record a voice message. Coffee shop gift cards are great too. And like the above answer, always ask how the caregiver is doing, that's is one reason he is calling. He wants people to care about his health and his well being. Keep encouraging him to take good care of himself with time off. Teach him to ask a friend for a specific request, like, would you stay with Sally while I go play golf? When we are specific more people will say yes.
Yes, it's good to hear that folks are thinking of you. Even better, when they offer to give some respite! Life is hard. Nice to have people to relate to! & yes, misery loves company!
Everyone has had something special to add. The idea of a snail mail communication is excellent because it can be shared with the one who is stricken. I care for my mother (94) and it is wonderful when someone sends a card or note to read to her. It gives me a feeling of being worthwhile when she smiles, (I can give you lots of tips on making Mom smile, but this thread is about the CG).
You might ask him if he participates in any forums, if he needs links, there are many. One of my favorites is ECO. Not a large amount of activity compared to some, but..
Laughter is great medicine, so are distractions as mentioned. "17 year old sails around the world alone" "cat survives trip in cargo area of jet and reunited with owner". There is a youtube of a performance of thunder and rain the is phenominal. I don't like to rub it in that life goes on while you are stuck on hold, but it is nice to know that life goes on.
As mentioned before, encouragement to say what you need to people is great. It will seperate the true friends from the bums. I made it a New Years resolution 2 years ago that if someone said "call if you need anything" I would call (maybe they would be bluffing, maybe not. If anyone said, "Can I help you with that?" I would say thankyou, yes you can. I am no longer plagued by phonies. That really helps.
Since you are e-mailing, I guess you are not in a position to drop by with a cassarole and a salad. but can you send a gift certificate to a good take out place that will deliver? If this were one of my girl friends, I would send a scented candle and some extravegant bath oil. (Big hint to take a mini vacation) There must be something of the sort for a man.
Some friends have sent me links to special needs cooking sites. That has been a godsend. Finger foods, soft foods, smoothies,
If he doesn't talk about it at all, he may already be counting on you as one place to go that isn't about her and strokes. Or he may be afraid to run you off. We all know how fast "friends" take to the hills when we turn care giver. From time to time, do ask . He needs to know you are there for all of it as he needs it.
daughter ann had great ideas! For a man suggestion: a trip to a real barber where they give shaves. They use hot towels, massage, etc. before and after which is luxury. I used to take my husband there as a "gift" before he moved to memory support. Also gift certificates for a massage!
I tend to agree with everyone! E-mails are helpful, and as one said keep them, fun, light and cheerful. It would be nice also to send an appropriate card to the loved one. If you think a phone call would help, do that, too. Any think you do for that person is good! Good Luck!
I was moved when one of my friends said to me "what you are doing for your mother is a work of love. She is lucky to have someone like you." The recognition that she gave me was all I needed to keep me going.
This is what I tell meself and share with others: "As a Care Partner I am the love of God in action." Joy Golliver
You, Kathporter, are Gods Love In Action!
I'm the primary caregiver to my 79 yo mother who suffered a stroke. Life now pulls me in so many different direction. It is especially good to hear from someone who really cares to support me genuinely. The best thing I like to hear is honesty from another person. Another big help is with cleaning house. A great unexpected gift would be a house cleaning service gift certificate. It is one less thing to worry about in life -- house cleaning! I haven't yet to receive one and I doubt I'll ever receive one, but it is a thought that's crossed my mind. A gift I would truly need and appreciate. Thanks all for sharing.
Take care of yourselves.
I love your idea and wish I could provide it for you. Since that is probably impossible, know that I will try to provide it for someone else and I will definately pass along your wonderful idea in my Caregiving workshops.
I know it's difficult to be a caregiver, but try to find some joy each day. My husband (stroke survivor) passed away 5 weeks ago from complications post open heart surgery, and there is so much I am thankful for with him, but also many things that I wish I had let slide by. His passing has also put my parents (88 and early dementia) into a faster downward slide - stroke he had 3 years ago started a downward slide for them, it's now worse.
Well, this is too everyone! I guess altho I knew there was SO many of us carefivers it never really hit home. But I must say I must give my most gratuide to the older womena nd men who are caring for thier spouses--God bles you! It is one thing to be young and physically able but to do allthis on your own when you are older must be ...I do not even know the word ...DEDICATED? Is tht even beginning to express how lucky your mate is to have you?? No, I don't think it does, God Bless each and every one of you! Carol
Thanks to all who relate & understand. I'm glad we have this site to express our feelings, vent, & share thoughts/advice. It's hard to "care"...but, it's life/love. Hopefully, someone will be there for us when "that" time comes.
As I was reading these posts again, I remembered something my husband used to say (before Parkinson's) - a card is good, a phone call is better, a visit is best. I would add that e-mail is good too. That applies to caring for the caregiver, as well as the one being cared for. If all you can do is e-mail because of time and distance, that is good. If you are close enough to take the caregiver out for lunch and a movie, shopping, etc. that is just wonderful. Things that have been done for me recently that mean so much: my adult son took over vacuuming my house and making sure the trash is out on trash day, my daughter has twice in the last month made a girls day out date with me, my friend who lost her husband to Parkinson's e-mailed me to go to lunch (I love talking to her - I can voice all my fears and problems with no reservation). If you know someone who is going through the same trial you are, you can probably help one another immensely. That's the one place you can be certain of being understood. I pray for all of us. Joy, I like your post. I think of it as being God's hands and feet here on this earth.
This whole experience beginning in August 2009 when my caregiving journey began has taught me many life lessons. One is to take care of my business now while I can. I purchased long term care insurance for me and am working hard to pay off all debt so my children won't have to deal with so many of the things that my husband's and my parents did not or were not able to do for themselves. In II Corinthians 12:14, it says "Children shouldn't have to look out for their parents; parents look out for the children." The Message. I am busy looking out. That includes keeping my clutter under control. If you have never cleaned out the home of a hoarder, you are truly blessed. Been there, done that as they say. Hardest physical task I've ever undertaken and one I don't wish on anyone. We're in this together, fellow caregivers. I am challenged to pray for you daily.

Better known for treading the cobbles as Corrie's Kylie Platt, actress Paula Lane will be one of more than 50,000 entrants pounding the streets in the 2014 Great North Run.
The 27-year-old, who was recently seen brawling in the snow with co-star Michelle Keegan during the Christmas Day episode, will make it a
hat-trick this year after completing the 10k run twice before.
Having run the London Marathon in 2012 and completing the Three Peaks challenge earlier this year, she says she can't wait to get back into training for a big event.
Paula said: "It's definitely a challenge, but the atmosphere is amazing. Everybody had done the training and then suddenly, on the day, you're all there together and it just feels like the adrenaline's pumping and everyone's really wired.
"It's not as much strain on your body as a marathon, but it's not to be underestimated.
"But when you're there you're like a huge army running and the feeling you get is just unlike anything else. There's nothing that can beat it."
Accompanying Paula on her runs is fiancé Tom Shaw. She added: "We went on a night run the other night together and it was lovely.
"It's a nice chance to catch up if I've been filming all day and he's been at work."
The pair got engaged in 2011 and live together in Manchester, but they plan to marry this year.
Paula said: "We've set a date for the wedding, but I'm keeping that very close to my chest.
"But it is just going to be a family affair."
The couple are joint ambassadors for Henshaws Society for Blind People. It's a charity Paula got involved with after hearing the story of toddler Oscar Hughes, who was born blind and was learning to walk with a white stick.
She said: "I heard Oscar's story and it really touched me. You take sight for for granted so it really makes you think.
"I visit him quite a bit and I'm in touch with his parents.
"Once Coronation Street moves to Media City, I'll be closer to the charity's visitor centre so if I get an odd hour, I can pop down there.
"It is a commitment, but there's nothing more rewarding."
Get involved!

Jason Graziani was born and grew up in Southern California. He was raised by a single mother who became permanently disabled when he was 12 years old. After becoming the head of household and having to take care of his two younger brothers, Jason learned the importance of leadership.
Determined to support his family financially, Jason was instructed to "Get good grades, go to a good school, and get a good job." He studied business at the University of Southern California and became the first in his family to graduate college. However, Jason will note that his best lessons were taught to him outside of the classroom- through manual labor working on moving trucks!
Upon graduation, Jason excelled quickly through the management ranks in corporate America. As one executive puts it, "Everything Jason touches turns to gold." Mr. Graziani soon realized however that even though he had a "good job," his dream of becoming financially independent would not be a reality. Student loans, mom's medical bills, and the increasing cost of living left Jason searching for another way.
Entrepreneurship was the answer. Jason began studying financial services on evenings and weekends, inspired to go into business for himself. After one year, he went full-time as a self-employed agent. By his third year, he retired his mother at the age of 25.
Mr. Graziani earned many accolades servicing clients and coaching agents, but he wanted to be a part of a bigger cause. In 2011 he joined Patrick Bet-David, CEO and Founder of People Helping People Agency, a company dedicated to Saving America through free enterprise and financial education. He currently holds the rank of Senior Vice President as a co-owner of PHP Agency and resides in Dallas, Texas.
Jason attributes his success to his unwavering faith in God and the love and support of his family.

|High-throughput Gene Expression Profiling of Memory Differentiation in Primary Human T Cells

|Background: The differentiation of naive T and B cells into memory lymphocytes is essential for immunity to pathogens. Therapeutic manipulation of this cellular differentiation program could improve vaccine efficacy and the in vitro expansion of memory cells. However, chemical screens to identify compounds that induce memory differentiation have been limited by 1) the lack of reporter-gene or functional assays that can distinguish naive and memory-phenotype T cells at high throughput and 2) a suitable cell-line representative of naive T cells. Results: Here, we describe a method for gene-expression based screening that allows primary naive and memory-phenotype lymphocytes to be discriminated based on complex genes signatures corresponding to these differentiation states. We used ligation-mediated amplification and a fluorescent, bead-based detection system to quantify simultaneously 55 transcripts representing naive and memory-phenotype signatures in purified populations of human T cells. The use of a multi-gene panel allowed better resolution than any constituent single gene. The method was precise, correlated well with Affymetrix microarray data, and could be easily scaled up for high-throughput. Conclusion: This method provides a generic solution for high-throughput differentiation screens in primary human T cells where no single-gene or functional assay is available. This screening platform will allow the identification of small molecules, genes or soluble factors that direct memory differentiation in naive human lymphocytes.

Terex Environmental Equipment, Farwell, Michigan, US – June 2013. Liston Products, Newhaven, East Sussex, based in the UK supply TAC 790 to Stubbs Copse Wood Yard, Arundel, West Sussex.
Liston Products have supplied a TAC 790 arborist chipper with a 375 hp John Deere engine to Stubbs Copse Wood Yard, Arundel, West Sussex.
David Kendall, Director of Liston Products said "we were delighted to be able to provide Stubbs Copse Wood Yard with the TAC 790. Stubbs Copse Wood Yard had previously used a disc style wood chipper but due to an increase in demand in their business and the quality of product that they required we recommended the TAC 790. We work closely with all our customers to ensure they are supplied with the correct product that meets the many requirements and demands in the wood processing industry".
The TAC 790 is chipping hardwood and soft woods loaded by an excavator and grapple. Materials of different sizes are chipped up to a maximum diameter of 20" round and 36" flat bundles and off cuts. Most of the material chipped is from local forestry estates and tree surgery residues brought to the wood yard by other tree care companies who do not have the chipper capacity to handle larger tree material. The TAC 790 is currently processing an average of 50 metric tons per hour on hardwood.
The TAC 790 arborist chipper is capable of being loaded by timber crane and wheeled loader with bucket. It is easily transportable and is capable of being taken to site and processing whole tree chipping on site conditions.
Bob Campbell, Sales Manager for TEE said "The customer required a quality heavy duty drum chipper with a 20" round capacity that would have the output to load a truck in an hour. It also needed to produce quality chips from different types of wood and in different sizes. This particular product has a stand-alone jack system and has low maintenance and running costs. This made the TAC 790 is an ideal choice for Liston Products to recommend to Stubbs Copse Wood Yard".

Frommer's EasyGuide to Tokyo, Kyoto and Western Honshu
Buy the Paperback
Buy the E-book
Although it focuses on Tokyo and Kyoto--the two Japanese cities that most tourists want to visit--Frommer's Easy Guide to Japan also examines the Japanese locations to which most tourists make day-trips or longer excursions from the two must-sees. Enjoying a far more favorable exchange rate than in recent years, the now-moderately-priced Japan is enjoying a major upswing in its incoming tourism, and our experienced author of many previous guidebooks to Japan has made it even easier to enjoy, easier to understand, easier to tour, in a concise "Easy Guide" designed to fit into pocket or purse.
Other EasyGuides
Everything you need, nothing you don't. EasyGuides are rich in advice but concisely written. They are easy to carry, quick to use, and sold for less than other competing guidebooks. Included are useful in-chapter maps plus a fold-out map to take on the go. View All

SANTA FE — A $6.2 billion budget proposal failed in the House on a tie vote Friday as Republicans and Democrats clashed over education spending and school-improvement initiatives advocated by GOP Gov. Susana Martinez.
Republicans were joined by one Democrat — Rep. Sandra Jeff of Crownpoint — in opposing the measure.

A 30-year-old Las Vegas woman was arrested and charged last week with driving drunk and three counts of felony child abuse after she crashed her vehicle into the Highlands University golf course last Monday evening, according to court documents.
Police say Krystle R. Alarcon had her three young children — ranging in age from 2 to 5 — in the vehicle with her at the time of the accident.
The children were transported to the hospital by ambulance and all were medically cleared and released to a family member.

Ambulance hijacked
ALBUQUERQUE — Authorities say an Albuquerque ambulance worker catching some sleep in the back of his vehicle woke up to find himself the victim of a carjacking.
Police have arrested a man and a woman accused of driving off in the ambulance around 3 a.m. Saturday while it was parked outside Lovelace Medical Center in downtown Albuquerque.
The stars have aligned for the city's ambitious Bradner Dam expansion, a project that, if completed as planned, will triple the city's current water storage capacity.
The city has already completed much of the work required to get the project shovel-ready, thanks, in part, to a $1.8 million appropriation from the state Legislature last year. The governing body had also previously raised water rates, a move that allows the city to secure $12 million in revenue bonds to help finance the project. But that still leaves a $16 million funding gap.
SANTA FE — A proposal to provide at least $100 million annually for early childhood education cleared an early hurdle in the Legislature on Wednesday.
The measure by Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez, a Belen Democrat, would change the state constitution to increase how much is allocated each year from the Land Grant Permanent Fund, which has assets worth about $13 billion.

garden cleanup
On a recent sunny morning, before the summer heat rose, I cleaned up our rose bed a bit. My experimental planting of herbs among the roses was a wash-out . . . literally. Spring rains drowned the sages, bee balm and marjoram, and nearly killed the oregano, in spite of a new drainage system. I noted that herbs in terra cotta pots survived, even thriving. So I dug up the barely-alive oregano and placed the two plants in pots. Hopefully they will come back strong. The basil and bay laurel came through the flooding just fine, as did the mints in pots.
I also cut back the roses. Since the spring floods, wild animals had eaten all the leaves, their normal grazing areas being under water. Former owners of the property had strung tiny fairy lights just inside the patio roof, giving off just a wee bit of light. We sometimes leave these on instead of a porch light, giving light without excessive bugs. We discovered that if we leave these lights on all night, animals leave the rose leaves alone. So I cut back the bare stems, fertilized, and watered them (we are in a hot, dry period now). It seems to have worked; we are now getting some blooms with lots of healthy leaf growth.
Afterwards, I sketched my garden tool bag -- I liked the shadows! That crumpled bit of blue in the bag is a very large IKEA bag that I use to gather cuttings into. Makes it easy to carry them to our burn pit without getting nicked by the rose thorns.

Vandal Proof CCTV Camera: CAM 445 Roto (450 TVL, Sony Super HAD II CCD, 0.01 lx, 4-9mm, IR 25m)
Code: M11253
Withdrawn from the offer
CAM 445 Roto + IR - color CCTV camera in vandal proof housing
with built-in 4-9 mm lens and IR illuminator.
Distinguishing features:
- Sony Super HDD CCD II image sensor
- Video resolution: 450 TVL
- Varifocal lens: 4-9 mm
- Built-in IR illuminator
- Vandal proof "Roto" housing
CAM 445 Roto + IR camera is equipped with highest quality 1/3'' CCD Super HAD II sensor from SONY, being an improved version of SONY CCD Super HAD. SONY Super HAD II provides much better results than the predecessor - mainly in low-light conditions, where the new sensor ensures better colors and higher sensitivity. Below we present two pictures from cameras equipped with the two kinds of image sensors.
Comparison of images from two cameras: on the left - CCTV camera equipped with CCD SONY Super HAD; on the right - CCTV camera with CCD SONY Super HAD II. Source: http://www.sony.net
Due to very good 1/3" Super HAD CCD II sensor the camera is very sensitive (0.01 lx - IR OFF) and provides video with resolution of 450 TVL. High picture quality is guaranteed during the day and night. The built-in varifocal lens (4-9 mm) allows to adjust optimum viewing angle within 35o to 65o. The images obtained from the camera reflect the actual colors and allow to see small details, the edges of objects are sharp. The camera is very well prepared for operation in difficult lighting conditions. Due to high sensitivity of the camera, color images are free of "snow" even in relatively low lighting.
The camera has a built-in IR illuminator (36 LEDs) with range of 25 meters. The illuminator allows operation even in complete darkness. It switches on automatically when light intensity falls below 3 lx, and the camera continues operation in B/W mode.
The camera is in a vandal-proof "Roto" housing. The body of the housing is made of metal and the dome of polycarbonate, which makes the camera resistant to impacts. The housing is easy to install.
The camera can be mounted either on the ceiling or wall, allowing to hide the cables. The screws located on the front of the camera are used to adjust the focal length and sharpness of the image. CAM 445 Roto IR can be used outdoors, but it should not be exposed to direct precipitation. It is recommended to mount it under a roof. The camera is equipped with cables with standard connectors: video - BNC socket, power - 2.1/5.5 socket.
We also offer a "Roto" camera with fixed focal length (3.6 mm) and 1/3'' Super HAD CCD sensor (420 TVL) - M11254

SHERBURNE On Tuesday, July 28 at 8 p.m. in the Sherburne Public Library, Sherburne Music-Theater Society will be holding their first of a series of Summer Play Readings. The play chosen for this month is the comedy, The Dixie Swim Club by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten and is directed by Richard Heim. The story of The Dixie Swim Club is about five Southern women, whose friendships began many years ago on their college swim team, and who set aside a long weekend every August to recharge those relationships. The cast includes Laura Phillipson, Cathy Robinson, Patti Carnrike, Jenn Fowler, and Jennifer Ballanger.
Free from husbands, kids and jobs, they meet at the same beach cottage on North Carolinas Outer Banks to catch up, laugh and meddle in each others lives. The Dixie Swim Club focuses on four of those weekends and spans a period of thirty-three years. Sheree (Jenn Fowler), the spunky team captain, desperately tries to maintain her organized and perfect life, and continues to be the groups leader. Dinah (Patti Carnrike), the wise-cracking overachiever, is a career dynamo. But her victories in the courtroom are in stark contrast to the frustrations of her personal life. Lexie (Laura Phillipson), pampered and outspoken, is determined to hold on to her looks and youth as long as possible. She enjoys being married over and over and over again. The self-deprecating and acerbic Vernadette (Cathy Robinson), acutely aware of the dark cloud that hovers over her life, has decided to just give in and embrace the chaos. And sweet, eager-to-please Jeri Neal (Jennifer Ballanger) experiences a late entry into motherhood that takes them all by surprise. As their lives unfold and the years pass, these women increasingly rely on one another, through advice and raucous repartee, to get through the challenges (men, sex, marriage, parenting, divorce, aging) that life flings at them. And when fate throws a wrench into one of their lives in the second act, these friends, proving the enduring power of teamwork, rally round their own with the strength and love that takes this comedy in a poignant and surprising direction.

Neat® glass harnesses the sun's UV rays to loosen dirt so water can rinse it away, leaving windows virtually spotless. A special sputter-coating process makes the glass ultra smooth, so the water "sheets off" more readily than it would on uncoated glass, allowing you to spend less time cleaning.
Preserve™ is a film that protects the glass surfaces during transit and construction, as well as reducing the time involved in job site clean-up.

Glass technology continues to meet ever more stringent levels of energy efficiency. Below are basic definitions of various glass industry terms and how they influence the overall efficiency of a window or door unit. For more information about Kolbe's energy efficiency initiatives, please visit our Energy Efficiency page. For information about choosing efficient windows, the Efficient Windows Collaborative™ website is a good resource, as well as a clearinghouse of links to other valuable resources.
Double Pane Glass
Most Kolbe products have double pane, insulating glass units with LoE coatings and Thermo-Edge, stainless steel spacer bars. This achieves excellent energy efficiency across various climate zones, and helps many Kolbe products meet or exceed ENERGY STAR® guidelines.
Impact Glass
Impact glass helps withstand harsh environmental conditions, especially in coastal regions. When combined with impact performance upgrades, such as K-Force®, these products offer the highest level of security.
Laminated Glass
Laminated glass is made by fusing two pieces of glass together with a plastic interlayer. It may be used for single pane products, or one or both panes of double pane insulating glass units to add safety, security, sound control, and the ultimate in UV blockage. LoE coatings, argon gas and Thermo-Edge, stainless steel spacer bars can be combined in these units as well. Together with product modifications, laminated glass can help products achieve impact performance levels for use in hurricane zones.
When the weather turns frigid, glass with LoE-180 coating is the perfect cold remedy. It keeps homes warmer and more comfortable by blocking heat loss to the outside and letting the sun's heat in.
In summer, LoE²-270 glass rejects the sun's heat and damaging UV rays, while in winter it reflects heat back into the room, delivering year-round comfort in most climates. Along with low solar heat gain, it offers a high level of clarity and visibility.
LoE3-340 is a tinted glass recommended for warm climates that achieves solar control over a wide range of the spectrum, while also helping to reduce glare.
LoE3-366 offers an ideal balance of solar control and high visibility by blocking 95% of UV rays while maintaining the interior temperature.
Tempered Glass
Tempered glass is standard in Kolbe doors to address safety concerns. It is also available in window units to meet specific building codes.
ThermaPlus Coating
ThermaPlus LoE is an additional interior coating applied to help meet the strictest energy requirements and provide protection against heat loss and UV damage.
Triple Pane Glass
Triple pane glass provides a greater energy performing window that keeps indoor air warm and comfortable, prevents heat loss and lowers your heating bills. It is constructed with three panes of glass, Thermo-Edge spacer bars and is available with the LoE coatings that best suit your needs.
LoE-180, LoE3-340, LoE2-270 and LoE3-366 are trademarks of Cardinal Glass Industries, Inc.
LoE insulating glass with a stainless steel spacer bar carries a 20-year warranty. Not all glass options listed have the same glass warranty. Please contact your supplier for details.
With Kolbe's performance divided lite (PDL) system, bars are adhered on the interior and exterior of an insulating glass unit and bars aligned within the unit.
PDL bars are available in various widths and patterns. They may be finished to match the exterior and/or interior, as requested.
Visit our Gallery to see examples of projects with divided lites.
Beveled Profile PDL Bars
NOTE: Limitations may apply. Please consult your local Kolbe dealer for more information.
Grilles-in-the-Airspace are constructed with 3/4" wide, contoured profile aluminum bars sealed between two panes of insulated glass, offering the look of divided panes, while reducing the time for cleaning. Ask for information regarding color and/or wood grain appearance options.
NOTES: Limitations may apply. Please consult your local Kolbe dealer for more information.
Casing helps define the architectural design of a structure. It frames the curbside view of windows and doors, and can evoke a period style. It is usually finished the same color as the window unit, but can be a contrasting color for visual impact.
Complementary 2" Brickmould
Complementary 3-1/2" Flat Casing
NOTES: Limitations apply when combining trim options; i.e., not all brickmould profiles can be combined with all sill nosing profiles.
Various types of screen mesh are available to keep insects from entering open windows and doors. Most Kolbe windows and doors have BetterVue® fiberglass mesh, which is less visible than many screens in the industry. Plus, the tighter weave keeps smaller bugs out, is flame retardant, and doesn't stain, crease or dent.
For even better visibility, request UltraVue® mesh. Both BetterVue and UltraVue are GreenGuard®-certified, meaning that they meet strict chemical emissions limits for healthier interiors.
Aluminum screen mesh is available for areas with fiberglass screen-eating insects.

The whittle while you work portion of "American Idol" — the cast of 172 taken down to 24 in two fast hours — has begun.
Quick cuts and glimpses of off-key singing, forgetfulness and brilliance (four guys doing the Bee Gees with a human beatbox) restored energy to the show. But there's a nagging feeling that a few good singers have been sent packing and some borderline cases have remained due to, as Simon Cowell might put it, an X factor — occasionally charisma, usually attractiveness.
The group show, in which the soloists creat trios and quartets, certainly throws some singers for a loop and for the first couple of seasons, it seemed an unfair way to judge the talent. But as the show has progressed, it has become increasingly clear that "Idol" producers want performers who can execute production numbers well from the get-go — and that means learning choreography and lyrics on the fly. It partially explains why the singers with theatrical backgrounds have landed in the final 12, but when it comes down to singing — and only singing — their glasses are only half full.
A few of this season's singers really stumbled when they had to try new material. It's as if they have spent their life perfecting a single song — Katharine McPhee and "Over the Rainbow" anyone? — and when it comes time to branch out they're caught off guard.
There wasn't a single singer capable of convincingly belting out "Be My Baby" in the group show, where the playing field is leveled by a limited repertoire from which singers may choose. These singers often make it clear there's only one Aretha, Mariah or Whitney; now add Ronnie Spector to the list.
It was sad to see small-town Texan Bayley Brown depart. Poor girl seems tailor made for the show, especially considering the appeal of Carrie Underwood and Kellie Pickler over the last two seasons. It does not look like there's much twang in the final 24.
Cowell laid down the law in this round — "do not forget the words" — and then the judges loosely applied it. Tuesday ended with massive dismissals; Wednesday concerned the removal of 16 folks on the bubble.
Judges found a staggering number of ways to tell contestants they had made it through, using awkward double negatives in an attempt to slightly confuse each nervous entrant. Facing the three judges, I am sure some of them hear the positive statement "you're through" as a negative, as in finished, kaput, go home.
Not surprisingly, a couple of professional backup singers made it through with one, Melinda Doolittle, seemingly capable of going far. New father Philip Stacy has been impressive throuhgout and Chris Sleigh will have an instant army of fans. The kid, a bit goofy looking and paunchy, beams with personality and a sense of humor on top of his pleasant voice; he is clearly not Cowell's idea of what the "Idol" winner should be, but he's the type of contestant that will get people to tune in weekly.

How to Install a Punching Bag
Installing a punching bag can be a straightforward process as long as you follow some basic safety precautions. The heavier the punching bag, the more you must take support into consideration. The support structure you use must be able to handle many times the weight of the punching bag. The floor beneath it must likewise support the weight of the support and punching bag.
Video of the Day
Installing a Punching Bag
Step 1
Select the location of the punching bag carefully. It should ideally be in a corner or against a wall where it will be out of the way. Remember that the punching bag will swing in every direction. Make sure that it is far enough from the wall that it won't bounce off. Punching bags are very difficult to move once they are in place. Choose the location with care.
Step 2
Check your floors for weight limits. If you are installing a punching bag on an upper floor, make sure that it can handle the weight. If you are using a 150-pound punching bag on a rack that is weighed down with 450 pounds of grounding plates then pounding on it, a weak floor could buckle. This is not usually an issue if you are on the ground level of a building.
Step 3
Choose your support structure. Punching bags can be hung from an overhead beam or from a specially designed punching bag rack. A rack is preferable since it is designed to handle the movement of the punching bag. It requires three times the weight of the punching bag in grounding weights at the base. If you are using an overhead beam, make sure that it can handle at least three times the weight of the punching bag and that it is above your chosen location.
Step 4
Measure the distance from the support structure to the ground. Subtract the height of the punching bag from that number. Decide how high you want the punching bag to hang above the ground and subtract that number as well. What you have left is the length of the hanging chain.
Step 5
Attach the hanging chain to the support structure. On a punching bag rack this will be an S shaped hook. Attach the proper length of chain from this. If you are using a support beam, you will need to wrap the chain around it. Allow for extra chain so that you can wrap it at least once around the beam. If you are concerned about the punching bag moving, wrap the chain around twice.
Step 6
Mount the punching bag. If your punching bag has the chain attached to it, this is done in the chain attaching step. If your punching bag hangs from a chain, lift it up to the place where you measured. Hook the punching bag to the chain then test it for strength. The punching bag should swing freely and the support structure should not move, buckle or squeak.

Michael Carrick, Manchester United
Man United Update : Manchester United Tickets
Michael Carrick has extended hi Manchester United contract at the club until 2015 after months of talks.
Carrick, 32, signed his new deal that includes an option to extend the contract by a further year/
The new contract will ensure that Carrick completes a decade at Old Trafford since his 18 million pounds ($32 million) transfer from Tottenham Hotspur in 2006.
England midfielder Carrick has helped Man Utd win five Premier League titles, one League Cup and a Champions League trophy to dater.
"We are pleased," said Man United boss David Moyes. "It was not anything that he showed me in the two or three months that changed any minds and it was just a matter of getting it signed and done.
"I'm getting to know the players more as I go along and like any job it takes time to get to know them more and get used to them. I think everybody knew before I came to the club about the importance of Michael Carrick to the team."
"They have shown me what they can do. I've said many times Manchester United have shown over the years they have been pretty slow-starters, my history at Everton I was a slow-starter and hopefully we are beginning to find our feet and a bit of rhythm."

A few weeks ago, I set out on a mission to get my Pocket queue under control. I was creeping up to 2,000 unread items and I knew that there were things in there I actually wanted to read, and that it could be a more useful tool for me. Last weekend, I achieved Pocket 0. Here's how:
"Read Later" is an Inbox
I don't know if all of the people who refer to Inbox Zero have ever watched Merlin's talk or how they practice it, but I've gotten quite good at my Gmail version of it. My system is simple: using a combination of stars and not-in-email lists (Todoist, issues, etc) I keep everything out of my inbox following a triage session (which I do a few times per day).
For "read later", I currently use Pocket (although, I own Instapaper too) which has similar features - and is supported on all of my devices (making capture very easy).
Triage regularly
I put the Pocket app on the home screen of my iPhone, and enabled the 'unread count' badge. Those who know me (and have ever seen my phone), know that I'm fairly obsessive about eliminating those little red circles. This helped me form a habit to process a bunch of my Pocket inbox whenever I had a few free moments.
My goal was to triage (note: this doesn't mean read) 100 articles per day. I set Pocket to show me the oldest first so I could work my way through the backlog.
Be relentless. If you're like me and want to consume ALL THE INFORMATION, there are probably articles in your list that are no longer relevant. Delete them.
Process and Purge
It may be that you have hundreds of unread articles in your read later queue that are all things you just want to read for the sake of reading. For me, however, I found that my backlog consisted of several types of articles that I was able to skim and act upon to remove them from the queue:
- Restaurant / cafe reviews - if they sound good, I added them to my foursquare todos.
- Interesting apps - I download to try later (side note: google play is so much nicer for this than launching iTunes...)
- Research for a specific project - I send the article to the relevant Evernote notebook (still not 100% sold on this one).
Finally, a lot of my queue tends to be technical articles (performance tricks, coding techniques, new releases, etc). The thing is, without a specific project associated, there isn't anything actionable for these. Currently, I tag them with the language/framework/etc and archive (skimming first if they're quick). In theory, they're still in my archive for someday. In reality, things change quickly and I'm far more apt to just search when I need to know.
Everything else - which is long form articles that I actually just want to sit and read - gets "favorited".
Now, when I get the chance to sit and read, I open Pocket to my "favorite" queue and enjoy!

Nelsan Ellis Predicts The Help Will Win Best Picture, Best Actress
Of course, he's a little biased.
You would expect Nelsan Ellis to be fully onboard with The Help — he's got a small role in it, after all — but when we caught up with Ellis yesterday at the John Varvatos/Fashion's Night Out event and asked whether he thought the film would get a Best Picture nomination, he predicted big things. "It will, and it'll probably win," he said. "Viola Davis is probably going to win the Oscar for that. How often do you see a performance where the actor is that dynamic, even without speaking? Her and Emma Stone are my favorite parts in The Help." Ellis had plenty of compliments to pay Bryce Dallas Howard and Octavia Spencer, too, but there's another up-and-coming co-star he's personally invested in. "Jessica Chastain! That girl is exciting. She's marvelous. [After making The Help] I saw The Debt, and I was like, Jessica Chastain! She's an excellent actress. I went to school with her, so I'm a little biased. She was a few years ahead of me at Julliard. She was amazing back then, too."
As for his day job, Ellis claims that his current True Blood arc, where Lafayette finds himself possessed by the witch Marnie, wasn't an easy thing to film. "Alan Ball told me I couldn't try to talk like her, and I was like, 'Really?' So that was challenging. 'Who do I act like?' 'Not her.' I had to create something else ... We'll see what the fans say about it. The most exciting part of the episode isn't me, though — it's the cliffhangers."
But True Blood always ends its seasons with big cliffhangers! "No," said Ellis gravely. "This year, it's on a different scale. When we all read the script, we were like, 'What?!' The cliffhangers take it to another level." Are we getting something akin to the first season finale, where we thought that Lafayette had perished in the final minutes? "I can't give it away, but something like that, except, I can't say, but something really big on that level is going to happen." He laughed. "You'll see, and it'll throw you for a loop, and then you all will have to wait for eight months!"
