SPECTRAL EVOLUTION presents the EZ-ID software designed for geologists to quickly identify target minerals in real time.
Geologists can combine the EZ-ID software and the oreXpress field portable spectrometer for mining to get a complete mineral identification system to improve mining exploration.
The EZ-ID software running on an oreXpress portable spectrometer is an ideal solution for fast, easy and accurate mineral identification in the field with the target scans collected using the spectrometer compared against the USGS spectral library, commercially available libraries or a custom library built with the software's Custom Library Builder module to determine the best match in real time.
The Custom Library Builder software module allows the user to scan known samples and quickly build a custom library for a particular project, mineral or location among others.
EZ-ID mineral identification software can be used on unknown samples found on outcrops, and in pits and hand samples, and is especially useful in fast and accurate core logging applications.
Key features and benefits of the EZ-ID software include fast and accurate identification of unknown minerals to known library samples; ease of use with simple, consistent user interface; and a USGS library. The software also allows the user to include or exclude spectral regions of interest for optimal results; and enables fast scanning for optimum field work or core shack logging.
Key features of the oreXpress spectrometer with companion GETAC PS336 handheld microcomputer include: 350-2500nm spectral range; auto dark shutter and autoexposure for easy, one-touch scanning; optimisation not required to start scanning; microcomputer allows easy tagging of spectra with images from the auto-focus digital camera, e-compass, altimeter, GPS data, and voice notes; GETAC sunlight readable VGA display; mineral contact probe with metal-clad fibre optic cable; lightweight Li-Ion batteries for power in the field; and accessories such as core shack fold-up field cart and benchtop reflectance probe.

Fall Foods
Pumpkin paleo pancake- 3/4 banana mashed with an egg, 1/2t pumpkin pie spice, and 1/4c pumpkin. Cooked in coconut oil and topped with the rest of the banana, sunflower seed butter, and flaxseed.
Plus coffee with a small splash of half and half.
Gym: an hour of pilates
A handful of leftover roasted sweet potatoes. Maybe half of a medium sweet potato?
Leftovers from the other night. Collard greens, chicken, and cooked carrots.
I started dinner earlier in the day.
I used this recipe as a guideline to roast some chicken pieces and random veggies.
I chopped up a sweet potato, a whole butternut squash, one garlic clove, and a small onion. I tossed them with baby carrots, some leftover mushrooms, fresh rosemary, dried basil, dried sage, dried oregano, melted coconut oil, salt and pepper. I did the same coconut oil, herb, salt, and pepper mix on the chicken. I put everything in a roasting pan with a cup of chicken stock. I covered it with foil and baked it at 325* for 2 hours.
After an hour I stirred all the veggies around and covered it back up and put it back in the oven.
After 2 hours I took the temp of the chicken (it was 170*) and then put it back in the oven at 500* for 10 minutes.
Crispy skin!
This was amazing you guys. I'll have to write down exact ingredients next time.
What is your favorite fall food? Mine has got to be pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin muffins. Which I can't eat now! I really am loving squash this season though.

I'm also loving squash this season - more so than ever before. I could eat it for dessert. And I tried making banana "pancakes" for the first time ever this week - I want to experiment a bit further, but definitely has potential for a regular weekend breakfast/brunch item - so yummy.

I love the paleo pancakes but I have never tried it with pumpkin in it. I normally just use an egg and a banana...
The chicken dish looks good too but for some reason I am scared of chicken with bones it it. I always use boneless/skinless breasts for everything.

Lots of people are looking forward to a day off on Good Friday, which falls on April 22 this year. It's the Friday before Easter Sunday—financial markets are typically shut down and that means the weekend starts early for many people. If you plan to hit the road on Good Friday for some Easter weekend travel plans, here are some tips for getting there under budget and on time.
Keep Those Easter Baskets Lightweight - Last year American consumers spent an average of about $118 on Easter items according to the National Retail Federation. In fact, Easter is the fourth biggest gift-giving season behind Christmas, Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. But if you don't want to pay extra for that checked bag you may want to buy the hollow chocolate Easter bunny instead of the solid one.
Head to a National Park - This year, Easter and Earth Day collide. That's good news for those looking for an affordable vacation. You'll be able to get into the country's 394 national parks for free on Good Friday, and the entire week of April 16-24 for that matter. That's because it's also National Park Week.
Gas Up in Blue States - If you're taking a road trip this Easter weekend, you may want to gas up in the "blue" states. AAA puts out a daily Fuel Gauge Report, a comprehensive nationwide fuel price survey. Red states have the highest gas prices with averages reaching $4.42 a gallon. White states are in the middle and dark blue states have the lowest prices with a gallon of gas going for an average of $3.49.
Look for Spring Rates - Many resorts and vacation hot spots jack up prices around holidays—including Easter. Look for those that still offer spring sales during the holiday weekend. Check out the Springtime in the Park Package from HersheyLodge.com or the special Hoppenings at Barton Creek Resort.
Choose a Trip that Fits Your Budget - If you want to take advantage of your Easter break, but don't have anywhere specific to be, get help from the Getaway Map at FareCompare.com. Plug in your departure city, travel dates and budget. They'll let you know what tickets are available at the price that fits your Easter budget.

Unknown to John Adams, 2 Mar. 1786
Respected Sir
Having seen in the Dublin evening post a short account of the Late Dr: Jebb's funeral, I take the Liberty of troubling you with the following Inscription, altho' I am sure it is not equal to his merit. But Ability and public Gratitude will not fail to acknowledge his virtues, nor leave his tomb-stone bare and naked. A black clou'd hangs over this country at present. With the name of a free trade and a free constitution we are enslav'd and barbarously tax'd by our own parliament, which is under the Influence of an English Ministry. Bribery and breach of trust are carry'd to an abominable excess; and I am afraid the volunteer spirit is on the decay. There seems to be a general despondence. Indeed we want a large Stock of that Animation which prevail'd so succesfully on the other side of the Atlantic. I am, honor'd Sir, asking your pardon for this impertinence, your most / obedient and humble Servant
Epitaph, on the late Dr: Jebb.
Bold censor of the Venal and the Base,
Freedom's defender and his country's Grace,
An honest heart, steady, without disguise,
Oh, grief to speak! here Jebb, lamented, lies.
Skilful to heal; Age, Sickness, Want, and pain,
(He felt their pangs) ne'er ask'd relief in vain.
Benevolent, his comprehensive mind
Embrac'd, diffus'd, the weal of all mankind.
The Good and Just, O day of gen'ral gloom!
A solemn pomp, attend him to the tomb.
Fresh flows the tear; "alas! the time is nigh,
He's gone, when Liberty herself must die."
A rare phænomenon.
While fraud and av'rice reign in ev'ry breast,
And Merit sinks, by prosp'rous Guilt oppressd;
While wealth and favor perfidy adorn,
And wretched Honesty the ruffian's scorn;
O barb'rous times! Vice triumphs, undisguis'd,
Virtue's abash'd, derided, and despis'd.
While fierce Ambition, like a headlong flood,
Insatiate, deluges the Globe with blood.
While a perverted World, by truth unaw'd,
Successful Guile and perfidy applaud.
Yet in a tainted and discolor'd age
One rare example shines; one Star t' engage
Our wonder; North transcending far all praise,
'Tis Virtue's self with unextinguish'd rays:
'Tis Washington retir'd to life's still scene,
Whose claim, like Cæsar's, legions cou'd sustain;
Whom boundless trust ne'er tempted to betray,
Nor pow'r impell'd to arbitrary sway.
Such Washington, his rescu'd Country's theme,
Columba's glory, minish'd Britain's shame.
Too weak to Muse th' illustrious Chief to sing,
A private citizen who might be king.
On Dr: Franklin's making a present of his bust to Sir Edward Newenham.
Close knit, two honest hearts entwin'd,
One Soul, one Spirit, and one Min'd,
Congenial tye! with joy we see
Franklin and Newenham agree.
Franklin to Newenham conveys
His bust; a gift which far outweighs
In his pure Breast a viceroy's smile,
The meed of vice for public guile;
His meed whose tongue can best deceive,
In guise a friend, in heart a knave.
What numerous Counterfeits betray
For present or expected pay!
The Sage on him his bust bestows,
Whose bosom for his country glows;
Who spurns, sincere, with x faith long try'd,
At English tyranny and pride:
'Tis come; O may the awful Form
Each steady Irish Legion warm,
Once more to save the doubtful Nation
From † purpos'd British usurpation!
Be firm; unite; your Rights reclaim,
Relieve the tortur'd press, e'er Shame,
Ruin, and Servitude invade
A Kingdom by Corruption sway'd.
Resist, e'er // Juries be demolish'd,
Or legal Inquest quick abolish'd.
Revenue-judges will decide
On life, all other law deny'd.
Death-wounding state! I rave; O when
Will Irish Natives act like men;
Increasing Tyranny withstand,
The Guardians of a pillag'd Land;
From wond'ring Nations win applause
A Franklin each in Ireland's cause.
x Sir E Newenham has been above thirty years in parliament, without ever once betraying his trust, or voluntarily acting wrong. The people know it.
† See the 4th: Resolution mov'd by Mr: Pitt in the British House of Commons the 23d: of last month. 'Tis too long to transcribe. But whoever attentively considers it, can view it in no other light than as an intentional violation of Faith; a mean attempt to annul the Renunciation voluntarily made by the British parliament of all legislative Jurisdiction over Ireland, sufficiently enslav'd by her own mercenary Senate.
// alluding to some [] clauses in the Revenue-acts which seem to have a tendency towards introducing that alarming Innovation in the constitution. What they are I cannot recollect, but I think one of them is, that all Smugglers are to be try'd by a Jury of Revenue-officers, especially if they shou'd be guilty of any violence in resisting the Seizure of their Goods. An Irish parliament makes nothing of surreptitiously slipping, now and then, an unconstitutional clause into their statutes, generally when they have the advantage of a thin House; altho' they are sometimes compell'd by the clamors of the People to drop such obnoxious clauses the succeeding session.

Now when I searched for his backlinks I noticed he has another 10 websites which looks identical to the website I am trying to surpass.And Each website is linking back to each other...And there all very similar with .com domains and each related to the same niche..All in which are PR 0 In total they all have around 40 backlinks each... So my question is...What is this called? can this be automated? Should I copy them???? is this considered link farming? or what can this be called? It looks really effective as he is scoring high for each keyword of that niche! Thanks your time my fellow BHW People.

ROBERT JOSEPH SMITH, APPELLANTv.TRANSPORTATION WORKERS OF AMERICA, AFL-CIO LOCAL 234 AND SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY, APPELLEES
Appeal from the Order of the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, in the case of Robert Joseph Smith v. Transportation Workers of America, AFL-CIO Local 234 and Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, No. 1013 April Term, 1986.
Richard W. Rogers, with him, Henry J. O'Hara, Richard W. Rogers & Associates, for appellant.
Nicholas J. Staffieri, SEPTA Legal Department, for appellees.
Judges MacPhail and Barry, and Senior Judge Barbieri, sitting as a panel of three. Opinion by Judge Barry.
Author: Barry
[ 116 Pa. Commw. Page 144]
Robert Joseph Smith (appellant) appeals from an order of the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County which sustained preliminary objections filed by appellee, Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) and dismissed his complaint and action against SEPTA with prejudice.
On April 11, 1984, appellant was discharged by SEPTA due to an allegation that he was smoking marijuana in a restroom. Appellant, by an authorized representative of the appellee, Transportation Workers of America, AFL-CIO, Local 234 (Union), filed a grievance alleging that his discharge was without just cause. The grievance was addressed in two internal grievance procedures that were provided pursuant to the collective bargaining agreement between the Union and SEPTA. The discharge of the appellant was upheld, however, at both of those procedures. Following the entry of the decision in the second internal grievance procedure, appellant, under the collective bargaining agreement, had thirty days to request a hearing by the American Arbitration Association (AAA). The Union, however, filed for an arbitration hearing more than thirty days after the second level decision. As a result, the AAA ruled that the appellant's grievance was not arbitrable because it had not been timely filed.
Appellant then, on April 10, 1986, filed an equity action. This was ten months after he learned of the AAA's decision. In the action he requested that the court order the Union and SEPTA to arbitrate the issue of his
[ 116 Pa. Commw. Page 145]
discharge. On May 1, 1986, pursuant to Philadelphia Rule of Civil Procedure No. 139, SEPTA filed preliminary objections in the form of a demurrer and a motion to dismiss due to laches. Thereafter, on May 30, 1986, SEPTA filed a copy of the preliminary objections with the Clerk of Motion Court. At the same time, pursuant to Philadelphia Rule of Civil Procedure No. 140 (Rule 140), it sent a copy of the preliminary objections and a memorandum of law in support thereof to the appellant. Accompanying those documents was a letter informing the appellant that he had until June 30, 1986, to file an Answering Memorandum.*fn1
Appellant failed to file his answering memorandum by June 30, 1986. Consequently, the trial court, on July 15, 1986, dismissed the appellant's complaint and action as to SEPTA. In an opinion subsequently filed, the court stated that, because appellant failed to file a response to the preliminary objections, it had granted them as being uncontested. This appeal then followed. Appellant argues that the common pleas court erred by sustaining the preliminary objections without addressing the merits of the case solely because he failed to file a timely answering memorandum to the preliminary objections.
Initially we note that Rule 140 makes no provision for the automatic granting of a motion, ...

Tattoos: No Security Regulations in Wakarusa, KS
Are tattoos safe? The FDA manages the inks in tattoos, however the actual practice of tattooing is regulated by local jurisdictions, such as cities and counties. That indicates there is no standardized accreditation for those doing the tattooing or a total governing body supervising the health and wellness of tattoo parlors.
How Safe Is Your Tattoo Ink?
Prior to you get that dolphin tattooed on your ankle or "Mama" on your bicep, be alerted: The ink used in tattoos might be harmful– even years later. A brand-new report has raised questions about the security of tattoo inks used in Europe, most of which are imported from the United States. The inks have actually been discovered to consist of dangerous chemicals, consisting of carcinogens. The report, from the European Commission's Joint Research study Centre, likewise recognized heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, and nickel, preservatives, organic substances, bacteria, and other possibly damaging substances in the inks. It requires a comprehensive evaluation of tattoo inks in use throughout the European Union, and it highlights the requirement for strict guideline of the inks, which are also used for irreversible makeup. After the report was launched, the company asked the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to look further into tattoo ink security.
If you've ever itched for ink– to use a long-term mark of love or nostalgia or Dave Matthews Band lyrics– we have actually set you up with a guide to ensure it takes place healthfully.
Getting Inked? Your Overview of Tattoo Security in Wakarusa, Kansas 66546
Initially, figure out if this is really something you wish to do. "You should feel so highly about [a tattoo] that you're agitated without it," says Scott Campbell, a Brooklyn-based tattoo artist who's inked folks like Penelope Cruz, Josh Hartnett, and Orlando Bloom. "If you need to decide of 'must I, or shouldn't I'– you should not.".
Feel in your heart and unsullied skin that you need a tattoo? Then do not go to just any tattoo artist. If you see somebody with a tattoo you like, ask which artist gave it to her, Campbell says. Or search online for nearby tattoo studios and dig deep into the artists' portfolios.
Should I be concerned about unsafe practices, or the tattoo ink itself?
Both. While you can get serious infections from unhygienic practices and devices that isn't sterilized, infections can also arise from ink that was infected with bacteria or mold. Utilizing non-sterile water to dilute the pigments (ingredients that include color) is a typical culprit, although not the only one.
There's no sure-fire way to inform if the ink is safe. An ink can be infected even if the container is sealed or the label states the product is sterilized.
Exactly what is in tattoo ink?
Published research has actually reported that some inks contain pigments used in printer toner or in vehicle paint. FDA has actually not approved any pigments for injection into the skin for cosmetic purposes.
FDA evaluates reports of negative responses or infections from consumers and doctor. We may find out about break outs from the state authorities who manage tattoo parlors.
The health risks in 66546.
However as tattooing has actually spread out, so have the involved health dangers– skin infections, allergic reactions, and blood-borne illness. Recently in Rochester, N.Y., 19 customers of a tattoo parlor were contaminated with the organism Mycobacterium chelonae, which triggers a rash and bumps on the skin; left untreated, the germs can infect the lungs. The tattooing was carried out utilizing premixed gray ink, made in Arizona, that had been polluted prior to circulation, according to a New England Journal of Medication report. And outbreaks of MRSA (Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus) skin infections from commercially obtained tattoos have actually also been reported.
State and local authorities oversee tattoo practices, which vary considerably throughout the nation. There is no standard guideline for training or licensing, and virtually no requirements for evaluation, record-keeping, or informed permission. Although many states have laws restricting minors from getting tattoos, lots of teens nonetheless discover them simple to obtain.
And practically anybody can install a tattoo shingle. For example, in New York City, where tattoo parlors are not accredited, a tattooist can get a professional's license after simply paying some costs and passing a three-hour infection control course.
Whenever you're injecting a compound into your skin, there's a danger of infection. Some dangers include hepatitis, staph, or warts. Using unsterilized tools such as needles, guns or ink can result in infection, so you'll want to ensure that your tattoo artist is following safety rules (see below) to keep you healthy and infection totally free. This danger of infection is why the American Association of Blood Banks needs an one-year wait to provide blood after you get your tattoo. The first week after is the most essential time to take all the precautions suggested to defend against infection.

Though he often helped out on weekends at his uncle's Westport salon, owner Mario Nico was set on becoming an artist until he enrolled in a Manhattan beauty school on a whim and discovered his true calling. His one-room Chelsea salon may not be sprawling, but it feels spacious thanks to wall-to-wall mirrors; lovely antiques spray-painted silver and hung at each of the six styling stations; marble floors; and clear-plastic chairs with hot pink, purple, and teal pillow cushions. (If the gang from Friends hung out in a hair salon, it would probably look like this bright, colorful storefront.) Along with cuts, color, styling, straightening, and perms, the salon's four stylists do custom extensions and baliage (hair painting), while Nico himself cuts wigs on request. The salon's line of botanical products is extensive and, like the shop, full of personality. Kids are always welcome for cuts, too.

See Thomas Keller's Bouchon Bakery Made of Gingerbread
This isn't your traditional gingerbread house. Instead, it's an homage (and an elaborate job application) to Thomas Keller's Bouchon Bakery in Napa Valley.
One enterprising baker spent 70 hours constructing the incredibly realistic replica of Bouchon.
Baker Oliver Bernardino created the famous bakery from photos he had take on a previous visit and from a careful study of the bakery's cookbook. He created it as part of the Gingerbread Lane exhibit currently on display in Vancouver.
No word on whether or not Thomas Keller has seen the masterpiece. But either way, it's for a good cause — the exhibit is benefitting the Make-a-Wish Foundation.

Watch Drake Acknowledge 'Degrassi' Past By Doing the 'Wheelchair Jimmy' Dance
MC stuns college crowd with nod to his pre-rap career
When Drake burst onto the scene with his 2010 LP Thank Me Later, a lot of people mused, "Wait … I know that guy. His face is so familiar, and somehow reminds me of after-school specials." That was because Drake notoriously began his entertainment career in Canadian television, starring as high school basketball-star-turned-school-shooting-victim Jimmy Brooks on the reboot show Degrassi: The Next Generation, in which he is confined to a wheelchair in the show's fourth season as a result of a bullying plot line.
Lovingly referred to by anyone who was ever sucked into a summer Degrassi marathon as "Wheelchair Jimmy," the character has been more or less dead to the world ever since Drake, known back then by his birthname Aubrey Graham, decided being a hip-hop artist probably had better perks. But now, Wheelchair Jimmy hath returned! A video of the rapper's March 7 show at UC Davis has surfaced (via RapDose) in which he debuts the "Wheelchair Jimmy" dance move — a choice we're not sure anti-ableist activists will be too happy about, but it delighted the nostalgic college crowd, who went bonkers. Just imagine what the Wheelchair Jimmy looks like when performed, à la Electric Slide, en masse at a club.
Drake will have plenty more chances to atone for his Degrassi denial on the road this spring and summer. The video for Drake's Rihanna collab "Take Care" drops *today,* too, so stick around.

Guitar Resources From Around The Web
Category > AB-Selectors
ART ABY Cool Switch PedalA/B-Y switching works two ways. It lets you switch a common source signal (guitar, bass or keyboard) between two amplifiers or amp channels. Or conversely, it lets you switch two source signals (ie, two different guitars) into the same amplifier. A good quality A/B-Y switcher will also provide LEDs or other indicators to show whether A, B or Y routing is in effect. The Y routing combines both the A and B outputs in parallel so that two amplifiers can be driven at once. The Coolswitch provides full A/B-Y switching functionality, plus parallel Common in/out jacks.
Behringer AB100 Universal A/B Switch PedalWhen you need to switch between amps or instruments during a live performance, let the Behringer INSTRUMENT/AMP SELECTOR AB100 be your personal light-speed stagehand.
Behringer AB200 Dual A/B Switch PedalThis universal, ultra-compact 2-channel footswitch is an ideal accessory for stage and studio applications. Use it on gear featuring external control functions such as guitar amps, keyboards, rhythm machines, lighting products and so on. You can easily switch between two input signals into one output or vice versa. Latching/non-latching modes are selectable for both channels.
Boss AB-2 2-Way Selector PedalThe Boss AB-2 is a 2-way selector that makes changing inputs or outputs easy. One stomp is all it takes to instantly switch between two guitars or effects setups, change amplifiers or switch between an amp and tuner. Rock-solid Boss construction ensures the AB-2 will stand the test of time.
Boss LS-2 Line Selector and Power Supply PedalThe LS2 makes it easy to switch settings among several effects and to route input and output signals.
Carl Martin Octaswitch 8-Way Switcher PedalWhen Carl Martin decided to create a baby-brother for his world famous Combinator, the details of simplifying an already simple effect controller made his head hurt. So Carl enlisted the help of Thomas Guldmann, and the Octa-switch was born. The concept is simple... take your eight favorite effects pedals, plug them into the eight individual loops (all true-bypass gold relays) on the Octa-switch, and then designate what effects you want connected to each of 8 banks via the worlds simplest and smallest DIP switches located over top of each of the eight bank switches.
DOD 270 A/B Switching PedalThe DOD AC270 is a simple A/B box. It provides switching from one source, to 2 destinations, or 2 sources to one destination. The switching is done via a mechanical push/push switch. Source and destination connections are all unbalanced 1/4 in. jacks.
Lehle D.Loop SGoS 2-Channel Loop Switcher PedalThe Lehle D.Loop SGoS is a fully programmable Effect Looper/Switcher with two separate True-Bypass loops routed via gold-plated relays. It includes a switchable high end buffer amp with adjustable gain up to +12 dB. Loops and buffer amp are both all-stereo. The Lehle D.Loop SGoS can be controlled and synchronized with other Lehle SGoS Switchers via MIDI.
Lehle Dual SGoS Amp Switcher PedalThe Lehle Dual SGoS routes the signal via gold-plated relays to outputs A, B or T. Outputs A and B can feed two different amps simultaneously since the signal paths are electrically isolated by the Lehle LTHZ high-end transformer - completely eliminating humming loops. In this case, the potentiometers enable you to lower the output signal for A and B separately. Output T can be used for a tuner or a third amplifier.
Lehle Little Dual Amp Switcher PedalThe Lehle Little Dual routes the signal via gold-plated switches to Outputs A or B. Outputs A and B can feed 2 different amps simultaneously, since the signal paths are electrically isolated by the Lehle LTHZ high end transformer - completely eliminating hum loops. Both inputs can be routed in stereo to Outputs A and B separately. In addition, the Lehle Little Dual also incorporates gold-plated phase-reverse and ground lift switches.
Lehle Little Lehle Loop Switcher PedalThe Little Lehle is a genuine True-Bypass Looper/Switcher. It can be used to manage an effect-loop, or as a simple A/B box. Two instruments can be optionally routed to one amplifier input, or one instrument switched back and forth between two amplifiers.
Lehle P-Split ABY SplitterLehle P-Split stands for "passive splitting" with maximum signal fidelity. One instrument can be routed to two amplifiers simultaneously. Output A is electrically isolated from Output B by the Lehle LTHZ high end transformer - so ground loops are excluded from the start. In addition, the Lehle P-Split also features a gold-plated-contact phase-reversing and ground switch.
Morley MOR ABC Switch Box PedalThe Morley ABC Switch Box pedal is designed to route one guitar/input to three amplifiers/outputs, OR three guitars/inputs out to one amplifier/output. You can select any combination of inputs/outputs with a click of the appropriate switch. This allows for great flexibility in guitar and amp tones and is a cost effective, easy to use switching solution.
Morley ABY Selector Combiner PedalRoute one signal to 2 outputs or 2 inputs to one output. Then choose A, B, or A & B combined. LEDs show you which signal is active. One 9-volt battery is required for LED indication. 2-year warranty.
Morley MORQB Quad Box Selector PedalThe Morley Quad box allows user to hook up two guitars and two amplifiers. Then, you can select between guitars with a click of a footswitch AND use any combination of both amplifiers.
Morley George Lynch Tripler ABY Combiner PedalWant to use more amps? Yeah, so do a lot of guitarists. But there is currently no readily available device that is high quality, easy to use and affordable - until now.
Radial Big Shot ABY True Bypass SwitcherDesigned for the purist, the Radial BigShot ABY is an ultra compact, 100% passive foot switch that provides true bypass ABY amp switching capabilities with A or B toggle and A + B combine functionality. This assures the guitar signal is routed directly to the amp without any buffering, loading or tone altering circuits.
Radial Big Shot EFX Effects Loop Selector PedalThe BigShot EFX is a true-bypass effects loop switcher that lets you set up two separate effects loops and insert them into your pedal chain at will. This means that noisy pedals or tone robbing non true-bypass pedals that you "love to hate" can now be used and completely taken out of the signal path when they are not needed.
Radial Big Shot IO True Bypass Selector with Level ControlThe Radial BigShot i/o is an easy to use instrument selector switch that lets you quickly transition between any 2 instruments and drive the signal to your amp. Because the i/o is 100% true-bypass, it addresses the needs of the most demanding purist.
Radial Big Shot Mix Effect Loop Mix Drag PedalAt last, a device that allows you to mix the direct sound of an instrument with effects the same way that a professional mixing console lets you add reverb to a dry vocal. The BigShot Mix is designed for the more demanding guitar or bass player that wants to introduce cool effects pedals to the signal path without the noise and artifacts usually caused by their 'less than ideal' circuitry and cheap buffers.
Radial Tonebone Loopbone Dual FX Loop Switcher PedalThe Radial Loopbone is a powerful effects loop controller for pedal boards that allows the guitar player to insert 2 separate pedal effects chains and remove them when not in use. This is particularly advantageous when using older pedals that tend to add noise and cause loading problems in the signal chain. The Loopbone incorporates a superb 'post effects' variable gain power booster that allows for straight signal boosting or post loop-1 or loop-2 boost for soloing.
Radial Twin City Bones ABY Switcher PedalThe Twin-City is an active ABY switcher and buffer that enables you to connect any two amps and drive them simultaneously without noise, loss of gain and without degrading your natural guitar tone. This is accomplished with Radial's highly acclaimed buffering technology and the same Drag Control (TM) load correction circuitry as used in the award-winning Radial JD7 Injector. The 'set and forget' Drag Control lets you compensate for cable signal loss and introduce the perfect amount of loading to replicate the way your guitar and amp interact.
T-Rex PolySwitch Stereo A/B PedalT-Rex Engineering is pleased to announce our breakthrough stereo PolySwitch AB - a true hardwire stereo A-B switch. PolySwitchAB is the perfect solution for guitarists looking to route their signal to two different setups - even in stereo - and easily switch between these.
Whirlwind Selector A/B PedalWith the flick of your ankle, you can switch from one guitar to the other, with only one amp, and no popping, crackling, or noise at all. Or you can have 2 amps and one guitar, and switch between them at will.

- Video logo: Our Video logo is a high gain light reflecting surface able to absorb more of the projection light than ordinary projection surfaces. Coupled with this, as it is a solid surface similar to perspex, we are able to die cut shape the surface to a logo or any shape required with laser cutting. Thereafter we merely create the video and 2D motion graphic video material to fit the shape. We call this our Video Logo. It brings a logo to life. Great for logo reveals at an event, Retail shop fronts. Video Logo is generally hung from the ceiling with a rear projector is mounted behind the screen. Since the material is cut to a specific shape it is not a rental option and only a purchase option. Fog Screen Displays.

Guests will have no idea where the sound is coming from and often look around for the speaker. The unit produces precise high energy/small movement (micro vibrations) that are harnessed to resonate surfaces turning them into high quality, powerful and wide bandwidth speakers. Stores in London have been boasting a 40% increase in sales in the first week of using a Whispering Window device. We have previously used the device at MTN Fairlands head office accompanied with an infrared Motion Sensor. The activation allowed a sound clip to be played when guests entered the building through a glass turnstile. We have also used this technology many times at car shows and car dealerships in South Africa where consumers open the car door and a sound clip plays on the specifications of the car.
- Directional Audio Shower Units – We distribute a sound shower unit which is great for exhibition environments where you may need controlled audio playing at a particular area. The unit is rigged from the ceiling above the point where the person stands. The unit enables you to control the direction of the sound waves.

Allowing us to count the number of guests, Tell who was Female/Male, Tell an approximate age of the visitors as well. The cloud backend system allows the client to pull any data required at any given time.
- WiFi Signal Based tracking. This is a custom developed system that continuously scans an area for WiFi signals. Using an in-depth algorithm, we are able to calculate how close the person is based on their WiFi signal strength. The system does need the guests WiFi to be enabled. However, with the growing amount of Fibre and free Wifi solutions at home and at the office, we are finding this number to be quite high and increasing. All data collected is put into a local and cloud database which then allows the client to pull any data that they would like at their convenience. For example, they can ask the system to tell it how many guests were picked up at a particular area over a particular time period.
Voting Remote Systems
- Live results after each question;
- Live results after the entire survey;
- Results can be private where only the speaker/presenter can see them.
- Coffee Foam Printer – Allows you to Colour Print Edible logos, photos, selfies, text onto coffee foam, Cappuccinos, Hot chocolates and a number of other food items quickly and cost effectively, using our Coffee Foam Photo Printer. A new and easy method of doing Latte Art.

Thoughts on the Garden and My Goals for This Week
My first peony!
I've seen Claus Darby's name on several of the photos I've pinned on Pinterest before, but it wasn't until Friday that I started reading his blog, inspired by the photo I saw on Pinterest of his sunken white garden. The more I read, the more I realize how much my white garden was inspired by his photos of his own white gardens.
Saturday I went to the nursery, inspired by his gardens and other flower pictures on Pinterest. I went searching for double begonias after seeing them on Pinterest, hoping to find them but pretty sure I had seen only single begonias before. Begonias had never captured by eye before, but the double ones were so different than what I had seen before.
The nursery only had single begonias, which looked nothing like the beautiful rose-like flowers that had inspired me to rethink begonias. I bought a six pack of the single begonias anyway (for $2.98) and planted them (pictured above) in the shady spot by the front door. They are tiny right now.
Claus had this interesting post about what constitutes a lush garden. In his words, a lush garden is one where you can no longer see the dirt. That, combined with all of the photos of his bench surrounded by flowers (like this one), made a light go off in my head, and I realized what was bothering me in the white garden--all of the bare spots and about to be bare spots, as the greenery of spring bulbs dies back.
We are expecting temperatures in the upper 80ºs this week; it's time for me to plant summer seeds in the garden.
He also made me reconsider dahlias. I've always thought of dahlias as being a cooler climate flower, but Claus said that dahlias originated from Mexico. A little research on my part and I found that in hot climates, dahlias need what pretty much every plant needs here in the desert: morning sun and afternoon shade. Winco has had some dahlia tubers in the front of the store for a bit and now I am thinking of trying a few, if they have any left! (My plan to not buy any new flowers for the garden this year is being completely erased; it seems that flowers are all I can think about lately, and since my birthday is today, I think flowers it is!) What I don't know--and I would love to hear from those of you who grow dahlias, is if they make a single flower, flower for a short while, or flower all summer. (Update: They don't have any more dahlias! Anyone have a preferred online source?)
Star of Bethelem
Plans for this week:
1. Remove four non-producing trees from the garden
2. Plant new trees in their places
3. Plant more basil seeds in the white garden
4. Plant zinnia seeds in the white garden
5. Plant vinca seeds in the white garden
5. Remove pea plants from the garden and keep the pea pods for seed to plant next year
6. Replant summer seeds: Armenian cucumbers, red noodle pole beans, and zucchini. With all the wind storms we've had lately (49 mph at one point last week) I've not been in the garden much this month except to thin my fruit trees and cut flowers to bring in.
7. Pick mulberries from my neighbor's garden
8. Plant zinnia seeds in the circle in the backyard garden
9. Cut chamomile buds to dry
10. Remove spent plants, including broccoli.
11. Plant butternut squash seeds
1. Make a new apron for myself
1. Finish folding and putting away all outgrown children's clothes which are currently in my room
2. Finish organizing the pantry
1. Can mulberries in syrup
2. Freeze mulberries
3. Cook a large pot of black beans in the solar oven
1. Trip to Winco to check out the dahlias I went; they were all gone!
2. Search online for new dress shoes for Winter
I have several blog posts I'm working on, and another 2-3 more that will go up this week before the Frugal Accomplishments post on Sunday/Monday. Make sure to check back for these.

Happy Birthday Brandy! Your garden is absolutely beautiful! I haven't set my goals or more commonly known as my 'to-do' list for the week yet ... that's the next thing on my 'to-do' list!!!!
April 20, 2015
Argh y comment got eaten. Happy Birthday!
Your garden is so lovely, however do you keep your children from digging it up? Sometimes my children help and sometimes it's more like"help".
We were ecstatic to see our cucumbers sprouting yesterday. Today there is a nice rain too! Our tomatoes have a flower, and some strawberries are ripening. I have to go out later and check my slug traps. They love strawberries I get more excited harvesting slugs than I do harvesting veggies sometimes. DEATH TO SLUGS!! Anyhow, our flowers are looking nice, the pink tulips should open tomorrow. We planted a variety of flowers to see what did best out front and in the fall are planting more grape hyacinth. We have a lot of violets this year and are going to try and encourage them to grow around the flower bed.
April 20, 2015
You made me laugh! I have "helpers" too! Years ago I told myself that their "help" from their tiny hands was more valuable than the flowers and veggies they will destroy, and destroy they do!
April 22, 2015
Mmmm. yes. I keep reminding myself that "help" now will be really helpful when they are a few years older. They slaughtered some tulips in an ecstacy of mud and trucks yesterday. RIP chuch shoes.
April 20, 2015
Happy Birthday Brandy! May you have a blessed day!
April 20, 2015
I can well understand the need to order more flowers than you thought you would .
We grew dahlias a few years ago in our zone 5b garden in newly turned clay soil. I didn't expect much, and the summer was very hot, with temperatures often reaching triple digits. I only amended a little with bone meal when I first planted them.
They performed marvelously - I would estimate that each of the twelve dahlia bulbs we planted (we got ours from Sam's Club) probably produced at least 4 - 7 flowers. Some are larger than others, but once cut, they lasted quite a long time in bouquets.
For you, I would imagine that you could even leave them in the soil once the growing season is over. We have to dig ours up and store them because of the cold winters.
Here is a link to growing information on Dahlias that I found extremely helpful: http://www.elkhorngarden.com/Growing-Info.html. Happy Birthday!
April 20, 2015
Thank you for sharing your experience! If they make several flowers each then that will be wonderful, and good to know they last a while in a vase!
We have triple digits for several months here. I would love to have them still blooming then!
April 20, 2015
Wishing you a lovely, fun filled birthday, Brandy! I imagine your children would plan a "party" and decorate for you, as you do for them. Please take pictures and share if they do. I would love to see their creative take on a birthday for mom.
The photograph of your white garden was wonderful to see. It has been interesting to see the changes as it grows through your photographs. Thank you for sharing its marvelous beauty.
As for my plans this week, I am trying to tie up some loose ends before returning to work. I start back on April 23.
April 20, 2015
Happy birthday! You have such a beautiful garden!
Do butternut squash grow well in the summer heat? We're new to gardening in the desert. This is our first summer. I've planted tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelon, and green peppers. However, our main plot gets sun all day until about 4:30 p.m. I've noticed that the plants start to yellow in the afternoon. Any suggestions for shade? I did plant sunflowers, but they're not tall enough to provide much shade yet.
How do you dig up your non-producing trees by yourself?
April 20, 2015
With a shovel! And probably a saw for some of the larger roots.
They are only about 7 to 8 years old, so not impossible, but definitely hard work!
April 20, 2015
Happy Birthday. I love the white garden.

My eyes refused to move when his back flexed at the movement, and I almost ripped them out when Tori brought her hand up and ran it smoothly down his bicep. There was a quirk in her lip, and I knew she was doing it for show – showing me who had Tristan.I'd do anything just to rip that hand off."

Yes, women senators mean better laws will be crafted because women are more empathetic and better listeners. Women are also psychologically known to be better at multi-tasking, and crafting a law requires considering many different facets of an issue. While men are certainly capable of legislation, I think women are better at it for these reasons.
As a woman, I don't think that more women senators means better laws. Honestly, it comes down to who is best for the job. That's who the people should elect despite gender, race, preference, etc. The real people needed for the position are smart, idealistic, patriotic, can compromise, and also stay true to the issues they promised. That does not have to be either male or female.
Just because a senator is a woman, doesn't mean they'll write fairer laws in. What ultimately drives senators is their own personal agenda, which is usually dictated by their up bringing and the groups they're affiliated with. Just because a senator is a woman, doesn't mean they're any less prone to being bribed or making bad uninformed decisions.
Women senators do not automatically equal better laws. Gender is a non issue. What would equal better laws for the American people is better senators in general. A woman can do a lousy job just as easily as a man can. The gender of the senator doesn't matter, what matters is the senator's work ethic.

No Christmas In Basra
Source: Ankawa Online
Basrawi Christians and Muslims attend the funeral of Maysoon, 42, and Osama, 45, Fareed At Mar Afram Chaldean Church in Basra, Iraq. The two siblings were killed by members of the Shia Militias on Sunday, Dec. 9, 2007.
By Queen Amidala
Basra, Iraq
Dear all,
With great sorrow, I bring sad news. The militias struck again. This time, they killed a brother and sister. The militias kidnapped them, killed them and then dumped their bodies away from their residence.
If it wasn't for the people who witnessed the murder and then collected the corpses, the dogs might have feasted on their bodies.
The victims names are Mayson and Osmam Fareed. They lived in our neighborhood and attended our church.
Neither one had any connections to the Brits. Mayson worked at a local clinic. Osama was a maintenance worker. They lived in a rented house owned by a Sunni family, who fled Basra. The militias wanted to evict them from the house. The siblings refused to submit to the militias' harrasment. People say the Shia militias wanted the house for a Shia family that was displaced from another part of the country.
The murder of Mayson and Osama hit the Basrawi Christian community very hard. Fr. Emmad, who collected their bodies and presided over the funeral, asked us to cancel any Christmas celebrations this year. In light of Mayson and Osama's death, we all agreed.
There is more disturbing news. Female university students who don't cover their heads are being threatened by students, who are members of the Shia militias.
My family, including myself, decided to flee the country as soon as possible. There's no safe place in Basra anymore.
Pray for us. I know you always do.
Queen Amidala
Basra, Iraq

Turkey Call Review: Flextone Magnum Strutter Box Call
The Magnum Strutter box call is a handsome call that can produce a wide range of hen calls to attract toms.
Turkey hunting is quickly rising in popularity. The increase in hunters targeting gobblers has led to a veritable explosion of new calls, decoys and gear available for purchase.
This spring, I took a closer look at a box call offering from Flextone called the Magnum Strutter. Flextone is a well-known manufacturer of a wide variety of game calls and other hunting gear.
The Magnum Strutter maintains the classic design that box calls are known for, with a resonating box on the bottom and a swinging paddle on top. The paddle is moved from side to side against the rough coating on the lips of the box to produce a wide range of turkey calls, including yelps and clucks.
RELATED: Learn how to make clucks, purrs and cuts [VIDEO]
The Magnum Strutter is made from select woods, such as walnut, oak and cherry. Each call is handcrafted and then laser engraved with the name of the call and a handsome turkey feather on the paddle.
As an added bonus, Flextone takes the time to tune each Magnum Strutter by hand before shipping to ensure the high-quality sound right out of the box.
I was immediately impressed with the quality of the calls I was able to produce with the Magnum Strutter. I made absolutely no adjustments to the call and didn't even feel the need to add any chalk. In fact, I was so pleased with the sound quality that I still have not made any tweaks or changes to it.
I also appreciated the Magnum Strutter's versatility. With its two-sided design, this call allows hunters - with a bit of practice - to accurately mimic the type of sounds that help lure in wily old tom gobblers in the spring woods.
The Magnum Strutter can recreate a diverse range of hen calls, from an old hen with a raspy voice to the smoother calls of a young hen.
Despite its great call range, I would not suggest the Magnum Strutter for hunters looking to produce tree-rattling gobbles to challenge the boss tom of the woods. While it is possible to gobble using box calls, it just isn't practical. There are much better products out there that can produce incredibly accurate gobbles. The Magnum Strutter is simply better suited for hen calls.
Field Test
I was able to take this call out into the field during Ohio's spring season. Luckily, I managed to hunt on a dry day and did not have the added challenge of attempting to keep the call dry. As with the majority of friction-based calls, it is a good idea to keep it away from moisture in order to preserve its sound. If you frequently hunt in rainy weather, there are calls out there that don't mind a little water.
Unfortunately, I was unable to call in a gobbler with the Magnum Strutter during my hunt, but that doesn't diminish the quality of this call in the least.
That is simply the challenge of bagging a wild turkey, and I'm sure you all understand that challenge very well.
With an MSRP of $26.99, the Flextone Magnum Strutter is as easy on the wallet as it is on the ears. I highly recommend this call for anyone looking to purchase their first box call or simply looking to expand their arsenal of turkey calls.

South Asia: Tsunami & Health Situation Report # 35
- In Banda Aceh, WHO has established a
Planning and Management Support Unit to assist the provincial health authorities
in rehabilitation work.
- In India, eight district-level disease
surveillance cells in Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Pondicherry will be strengthened,
with medical officers and paramedical staff being trained in 12 districts.
- A WHO team visited Chennai to assess
the situation and identify and consult with partners to implement HIV prevention
activities among the tsunami-affected populations in Tamil Nadu.
- The WHO document Mental Health in Emergencies
(WHO, 2003), which covers social, psychological and psychiatric care interventions
during and after acute emergencies, was translated in numerous languages
and is being widely disseminated.
- Livelihood restoration is a priority. Re-settlement and land distribution are important issues in Sri Lanka, Indonesia and the Maldives. The affected governments, with assistance from UN and other agencies should focus on housing and coastal/urban planning.
Communicable Diseases
India: Disease surveillance continues to be strengthened in Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, and Pondicherry. Medical officers and paramedical staff are being trained in 12 districts. Following this training, the medical officers will train other health staff.
Insecticide-treated bednets are being distributed in relief settlements.
A WHO team visited Chennai to assess the situation and identify and consult with partners to implement HIV prevention activities among the tsunami-affected populations in Tamil Nadu. As has been seen in other emergency situations, HIV infection rates may increase among affected populations due to increased pressures on people. This may cause sexual behaviour to change in harmful ways; disrupted medical services including blood safety screening; financial desperation leading women to turn to sex work to feed themselves and their children; and increased rates of sexual abuse. It was agreed that interventions should be through community workers who will be trained in communication techniques, the identification of people at risk, and referral mechanisms for counseling when needed. Manuals and educational materials will be developed in collaboration with SIAP (an NGO involved in counseling).
Indonesia: Field investigations of a previously confirmed case of dengue hemorrhagic fever in Aceh Utara identified four other family members with laboratory confirmed dengue fever. A previously reported suspect case of hepatitis E in Lan Lhum has been confirmed by laboratory testing. A fatal case of acute jaundice was identified in Sua Beaukah, Sompuyan. A confirmed case of Shigella flexneri infection was reported from Sampinet, Aceh Jaya. Two to three suspected typhoid cases have also been identified in this area. These isolated cases will be further investigated for disease confirmation and extent of spread. While there have been no cases of cholera in Aceh, plans are being made for a cholera vaccination campaign as a preventative measure.
WHO is finalizing a comprehensive report on the Communicable Disease Profile in Tsunami Affected Area: Indonesia. It will be published shortly. A WHO epidemiology bulletin is now distributed twice weekly, in English and Bahasa.
Maldives, Sri Lanka, Thailand: No outbreaks have been reported.

President Reagan has recently made public his plans for modernization of US strategic forces. One of the principal justifications given for the accompanying defense budget is an alleged ''window of vulnerability'' which the administration wants to ''slam shut.''
But while debate swirls around the issues of alleged Soviet ''superiority,'' ''spending gaps'' and the ''window of vulnerability,'' a far more significant and much less known ''window of verifiability'' may be quietly and forever eased shut.
When the United States first sought agreements with the USSR on limiting the arms race an obstacle presented itself which was then insurmountable: the problem of verification. The USSR especially would not accept the only available practicable measure - on-site verification.
Then the steady advance of technology brought us, fortunately, into the window of verifiability. Using advanced remote systems, especially satellite-borne, it became possible for both powers adequately to verify the other's compliance and the stage was set for mutually acceptable agreements. Noteworthy are the ABM and limited test ban treaties. To date there have been no significant compromises by either party of the terms of these treaties.
However, the inexorable process of technological advance which brought us past one edge of the verifiability window is now finally about to bring us past the edge out of the era of verifiability, probably forever.
The accuracy of strategic weapons has steadily increased. The size of a warhead for a given yield has steadily decreased. The cruise missile, for example, is a mere 21 feet long, is easily concealed, and can deliver a warhead of 16 times the yield of that placed on Hiroshima to within 100 feet of the intended target.
This, and devices of the same class, can be hidden in a wide variety of numerous and otherwise nonthreatening vehicles - 747 aircraft, cargo ships, tractor-trailers, etc. Once tested and deployed in this way the other party can no longer verify compliance. Thus the relentless application of new technology to weapons systems inevitably brings about a circumstance in which negotiations based on verification become impossible.
Essentially simultaneously, the same process of technological advance has conspired to undermine the survivability of land-based strategic systems, also probably forever.
In the early 1960s the state of US and Soviet technologies was such that a very good case could be made for deploying a system of land-based strategic missiles to deter attack. The required missiles were large. They each carried only a single warhead. They were not easily targetable. Guidance systems were crude by comparison with current technology. It wasn't even remotely possible for either the US or the USSR to launch a preemptive countersilo strike against the other. The kind of coordinated, precision targeting required to disable a field of hardened silos just did not exist. Thus it was possible for both sides to erect a stable and credible land-based deterrent force. A telling measure of this stability is that it was possible to maintain our Minuteman land-based force at a constant level of about 1,000 missiles for two decades.
The true significance of the long search for an MX basing mode is that technological advances have rendered all land-basing schemes ultimately vulnerable. Land-based strategic weapons have become as obsolete as the crossbow.
A telling measure of this fact is that, in spite of an extraordinary effort, no acceptable basing on land has yet been found for the MX. Moreover, those schemes which have been contemplated soon require ABM defenses and indefinite increases in the number of primary missiles, in contrast with the stable past history of US land-based forces. Once the obsolescence of land-basing is recognized it is easy to see how unenviable is the Soviet position with 75 percent of its deterrent on land and just now completing an expensive modernization of that component.
While the administration appropriates massive sums to the modernization of what has become a problem without a solution and forestalls serious arms negotiations, the window of verifiability is slowly closing. With it will close also the fundamental basis upon which nuclear arms negotiations rest: verification of compliance by nonintrusive measures not requiring cooperative acts by the examined party.
It is in the interest of the US, to say nothing of the Soviet Union or the rest of the world, to recognize the intrinsic vulnerability from now on of all land-based strategic forces and to get on with arms negotiations before the verifiability window has finally closed completely and forever.
