Massive Mass Chaos is rock tour for the ages
A rock concert this big means it can only be held in one place — Ford Pavilion. The Mass Chaos Tour with co-headliners Godsmack and Staind sharing headlining status will roll into Beaumont on Tuesday, April 24 with gates opening at 5:30 p.m. with a showtime of 6:30 p.m. Also performing will be Halestorm and Man Made Machine. Tickets can be purchased at the Ford Park box office and other Ticketmaster locations including the HEB on Dowlen Road in Beaumont, Beaumont Civic Center, Lake Charles Civic Center, ticketmaster.com and charge-by-phone at (800) 745-3000
The Mass Chaos Tour kicks off April 13 in Augusta, Ga., and the 20-date tour will make stops in cites such as New Orleans, Lubbock, Phoenix, Nashville and Syracuse.Godsmack and Staind have combined to sell more than 30 million albums, 11 No. 1 singles and more than three dozen charting hits. Add that resume of rock with Halestorm, who just released their second album The Strange Case Of... on Atlantic Records, along with newcomers Man Made Machine and Southeast Texas is set for one of the biggest rock shows ever to come down Interstate 10.
Staind, who headlined a rock show at Ford Arena in December 2008 with Seether and Papa Roach, formed in 1995 and are touring in support of their seventh studio album Staind, which was released in 2011. Two singles from the album charted in the Top 5 Billboard rock chart including "Eyes Wide Open" and their fifth chart topper, "Not Again."
Other mega hits produced by Staind are "Outside," "Fade," "Price to Play," "So Far Away," "Right Here," "Believe" and "It's Been Awhile," which was the most played rock song in a decade.
One member of each band — vocalist Sully Erna of Godsmack, lead guitarist Mike Mushok of Staind and singer Lzzy Hale of Halestorm — participated in a teleconference with numerous media outlets to discuss the Mass Chaos Tour.
In this issue, we single out Mushok of Staind.
A co-headlining tour, is that just a reality of the music business today that you kind of have to do these things to survive on a bigger scale?
I mean, my opinion of it is it's something we've always tried to do. I know whenever we try to put through, we basically put through the best package we can. And I think in this economy it's tough for people to have extra money to be able to go to a show. It's kind of like a little bit of a luxury. So, I mean, the more bang for the buck you can give them, I think the more likely chance you have of getting people there and, hopefully, give them the most value for the dollars. So, that was really the idea for us and we had this record and we were looking to who we could play with and Godsmack was like, 'that would be fantastic if those guys wanted to do it.' So, we went and put it together.Do you remember how Godsmack and Staind met?
I remember hearing those guys locally on the radio. We were trying to get our stuff played, like right around the same time, and, I mean, our first, I think we played a Warped Tour, like on the local stage together. I think we did some show in Springfield together, and then kind of didn't really see each other for awhile. I mean, we were just about to put out our second record; theirs had just come out, and we did a tour together in 2000, and really kind of became good friends. In fact, Sully, we stayed in touch for a bunch of years after that and we kind of lost track of each other and I came to this opportunity again to play together. And as I said earlier, I mean, I just thought it was a great way to kind of reunite with these guys and, I mean, I think that between all the bands on there, you're definitely going to have heard some of the songs that are played during the evening before. So, it should
How does the Staind of 2012 compare with the Staind of 1995 or 1999?
Well, we have a drummer now; that's one big difference. Look, I think what we tried to do on this record is kind of come back to what Staind of '99 was. I mean, that was really the idea behind it, to kind of get a little more aggressive and really the reason why we started the band was kind of play more aggressive music. We kind of went on this journey and I think the last record you lose the progress; really kind of took us as far away from that and we could have gotten almost. And, look, I enjoy the journey. I love some of the songs on the last record, but I think after kind of completing that, we said, 'Let's kind of come back to why we started the band,' and that's really what the idea was behind the album. And, look, obviously now Aaron (Lewis, singer) has a solo thing going on, so that kind of ties up his time, so it makes it a little more difficult to get all the time we need for Staind. So, those are really the big differences.
The first single from the most recent album, 'Not Again,' was released last summer. Do you have any plans to release additional singles and any videos from the new album?
No, that's it. We're calling it quits. Yeah, there's a single, 'Eyes Wide Open,' is out now, and we're trying to figure out what's going to be next actually right now. And there's a live video that we did with 'Eyes Wide Open' also. So, I don't know. In case any videos are either on your website or YouTube or whatever these days, I think for the most part, as far as rock bands go. So, yeah, we're on single number two now and I think it's top ten or something.
Staind has been around for 15 years. What would you say are the biggest reasons for your band lasting as long as they have?
Honestly I think that we, and obviously I think Godsmack is going to make this a great tour, Sully and Halestorm, too. I know you guys have some great fans. But I think all three of us know that if it wasn't for the fans, we wouldn't be here. They allow us to do this. Those are the ones that buy a ticket, come to the show, support the bands, and, I mean, that's why we're still around obviously. We do our best to write the best music we can. I know Lzzy and Sully do also and you try to put out the best product that you can and you hope that people like it and want to listen to it and be a part of it. So, we've been fortunate so far and, hopefully, we can continue.

Relying on more aggressive flanking is just not a panacea. Successful flanking attacks require you to have timing, situational awareness and quick micromanagement skills. Having to rely on several tanks multiplies the chance that something will go wrong when you're trying to sync up the flank attack.
This is the case for US armor and shermans. Those really have to "flank" which means having chances to hit the rear or being very close.
The comet is far from this extrem. You dont have to get literally behind him with comet. You get into fire range, shoot and get out of range.
The advantage is that you have guranteed penetration against most axis medium tanks (shermans are far from that or any US tank except jacks/persh. But one is fragile and has low HP, the other has no flanking ability) and reliable against panthers and tiger.
So you dont have to be so aggressive.
When any tiger or panther is attacking, you can easily attacking them whenever you want.
Just make sure the enemie wont have tons of 50 mm AT guns behind them.
mofetagalactica wrote:So, what about making usa 76' at's and shermans deadly for tigers and panthers and give them more armor ? Since hey if a comet can suddently become a comet, why a sherman couldn't become a sherman?
MarKr wrote:Because Comet is in a single doctrine while 76mm guns are on AT teams (in every US doc), emplacement, Hellcats (in every US doc), 76(W) Sherman (every US doc + RE doc + SE doc) and also Jumbo in Armor doc. Then the nitpicks (I know it is hard to believe but there REALLY are people who are willing to nitpick every little change and try to turn it into a reason for changin everything else even remotely connected; but of course I'm not pointing my finger on anyone) would ask why the 76mm gun suddenly has better performance vs Tigers while still being relatively crappy vs PIVs and demand a change there too, which, if it happens, will require rebalancing the Sherman prices across the entire mod, with the increased efficiency the prices would go up and people will cry that Shermans are too expensive and cannot take a slap without exploding which will further call for Sherman durability adjustments which will further call for prices revisions, at the same time PIVs will become less effective vs medium tanks and also more susseptible to Allied medium tanks so a price change would be needed there too because their current higher price would no longer be justified. Along with all this people will cry also about high price of Tigers which suddenly become easily destructible with a crappy unit which is available in 4 Allied doctrines in unlimited numbers, then some other nitpicks will come and say that if the Sherman 76mm gun is changed to penetrate Tigers according to reality, then Tigers should get their real advantage too - better attack range. So we will increase basic attack range of Tigers in order to be somewhat useable too. Then people will start crying why Tigers have better attack range when units with better guns that also had attack range advantage over allied guns (75mm L70 (panther guns), 88mm L43 (KT guns)) remained the same - again they are right, so increase the range of all of these units too (at this point we are already talking about chaging stuff in about 80 files). Now KTs/Nashorns and all these strong guns can snipe your tanks from a range where your Shermans cannot even see them, great. Now add to it that despite our repeated recommendations many players still play on small maps so these units will be able to shoot from base all the way to enemy base...I could go on, but I guess you get the idea.
Come on:
1. The 76 shermans are only used by armor doc bc in all others they are not worthy their cost. They cant stand 50 mm paks, cant kill inf so decently and and cantl overcome any axis tank except the stubby tank IV´s.
2. A slight cost increase (i mean the 76 sherman already had costs of 460 MP. But due to its performence it dropped to 430 MP) in return for better anti medium tank performence would not hurt. A Tank IV F2 cost 430/50 and can kill the 76 sherman.
3. And in which holly bible is it written that a Tank IV J cant be cheaper than a 76 sherman in some cases?
I mean as a suggestion in this matter the cost could be like that for the units:
76 sherman: 460/60 (365/50 armor doc). E8 is with 500/70 quite well (390/55 armor doc). The Tank IV J (BK doc, unlocked with tank IV unlock+ increased prod speed) 410/45, the H 530/75 (450/60 but in total 5 CP required to get it this cheap). The J in TH doc 450/60 (but needs just two CP) and H like in BK doc.
I mean no need to make it exactly like this but its not that the 76 sherman had already been more expensive. Just instead boosting it to be worth the cost, it simply got dropped.
How exactly would this hurt the balance so badly? We are not talking about changes on panther or whatever. There is no talk about changes on tigers and so on.

Federal Laws that Protect Bald Eagles
Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act
The bald eagle will continue to be protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act even though it has been delisted under the Endangered Species Act. This law, originally passed in 1940, provides for the protection of the bald eagle and the golden eagle (as amended in 1962) by prohibiting the take, possession, sale, purchase, barter, offer to sell, purchase or barter, transport, export or import, of any bald or golden eagle, alive or dead, including any part, nest, or egg, unless allowed by permit (16 U.S.C. 668(a); 50 CFR 22). "Take" includes pursue, shoot, shoot at, poison, wound, kill, capture, trap, collect, molest or disturb (16 U.S.C. 668c; 50 CFR 22.3). The 1972 amendments increased civil penalties for violating provisions of the Act to a maximum fine of $5,000 or one year imprisonment with $10,000 or not more than two years in prison for a second conviction. Felony convictions carry a maximum fine of $250,000 or two years of imprisonment. The fine doubles for an organization. Rewards are provided for information leading to arrest and conviction for violation of the Act.

The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) prohibits the taking, killing, possession, transportation, and importation of migratory birds, their eggs, parts, and nests except as authorized under a valid permit (50 CFR 21.11). Additionally, the MBTA authorizes and directs the Secretary of the Interior to determine if, and by what means, the take of migratory birds should be allowed and to adopt suitable regulations permitting and governing take (for example, hunting seasons for ducks and geese).
Penalties under the MBTA include a maximum of two years imprisonment and $250,000 fine for a felony conviction and six months imprisonment or $5,000 fine for a misdemenor conviction. Fines double if the violator is an organization rather than an individual.
The MBTA and its implementing regulations provide authority for the conservation of bald eagles and protect against take if the Endangered Species Act protections are removed.

It also prohibits false records, labels, or identification of wildlife shipped, prohibits importation of injurious species and prohibits shipment of fish or wildlife in an inhumane manner. Penalties include a maximum of five years and $250,000 fine for felony convictions and a maximum $10,000 fine for civil violations and $250 for marking violations. Fines double for organizations.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Greg from Best knives available I only have Wusthof knives. They are very durable and of the very best quality.Date published: 2018-07-24Rated 5 out of 5 by BruceC76 from Wusthof Steak Knives We had a set of 45-y.o. Gerber steak knives we'd been given as part of a wedding present by my sis-in-law. They wouldn't hold an edge any longer but we'd been holding onto them for their sentimental value. I bought these after having read other reviews, and am I ever glad I did. These knives glide through any cut of meat and have a great feel in one's hand.Date published: 2016-02-07Rated 5 out of 5 by cawcaw from This is a steak knife! We had purchased a block set that had the classic knives but with 6 gourmet steak knives; they seemed to be on the slight side...they were very light and thin, but did cut well. When we got these, we were thrilled and of course, they cut through any meat like it's butter.Date published: 2013-07-03Rated 5 out of 5 by Cookout from Gift for Son I sent these to my son for Christmas.

The court also ruled that after his release Shaea would be banned from leaving the capital, Sana'a, for two years. Numerous Yemeni legal experts have challenged the constitutionality of the Specialized Criminal Court in Sana'a, which sentenced Shaea. A 2010 CPJ special report on Yemen details how both that court and the Specialized Press Court were both specially created by Saleh's administration to silence critical voices.
Shaea is refusing to appeal. Journalists who were in the courtroom told CPJ that after hearing the verdict he said, "I do not stand now in front of a judiciary but in front of a gang belonging to the national security apparatus."
"We call for the immediate release of Abdulelah Hider Shaea," said Mohamed Abdel Dayem, CPJ's Middle East and North Africa program coordinator. "Shaea's initial incommunicado detention and his subsequent trial were plagued by dozens of procedural violations. We call on President Saleh to use his constitutional prerogative to intervene and pardon Shaea."
Rashad Ali al-Sherabi, a Yemeni journalist who is a regular contributor to the news website Marebpress, told CPJ that he believes Shaea's comments about civilian casualties killed in air attacks targeting Al-Qaeda members may have angered authorities. "It is a big story that the government does not want to have told," al-Sherabi said. Shaea has criticized the government's policies on fighting armed Islamists groups as ineffectual. CPJ's research indicates that his detention was likely in retaliation for his critical comments frequently made on the Al-Jazeera network.
Abdel Rahman Barman, who headed Shaea's defense team before it resigned to protest the journalist's unfair detention and trial, said the team is trying to convince Shaea to appeal the verdict "despite the fact that we don't believe in the legality of this special court that convicted him."
Shaea, who has frequently appeared on Al-Jazeera as a commentator, was detained on August 16, 2010, when a group of soldiers stormed his family house in Sana'a. His notes and computer were confiscated.

Mr. Speaker, I look back and see that the apology has been made by the Prime Minister on behalf of the government. It was made with very much respect and in front of thousands of people. Many people I speak to are very proud of the fact that their government has apologized. He is the first Prime Minister to do so.
It is time to move on. It is time to educate others about what happened in that incident. We have provided funding for a museum, for online projects, for books and for a monument.
I can only think that the NDP is bringing this up now as a political ploy. It is unfortunate that it would bring such an emotional issue up as a matter of politics.
The apology has been made, with respect, in front of thousands of people.

Get ready for 3D movies for the home.
Sony says it will release a 3D Blu-ray version of "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs this summer, with more to follow. The Mouse House, meanwhile, promised a 3D disc of "Disney's A Christmas Carol" during the fourth quarter.
Sony is timing the 3D disc debut of "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" to the rollout of its 3D compatible Bravia TV sets. The 2D version of the movie debuted on disc on Tuesday.
The release of the 3D "A Christmas Carol," directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Jim Carrey, will launch a new line of Disney Digital 3D movies for the home.
The studio has also created a "3D Showcase Disc" for early adopters who buy 3D TVs before it arrives. The disc contains Walt Disney's 1953 animated short "Working for Peanuts," promotional trailers for 3D-enabled Blu-ray releases of "Disney's A Christmas Carol," "Alice in Wonderland" and "Toy Story 3," plus original content.

Finally, I have completed another book. I took the opportunity while traveling to catch up on some reading. Better yet, I was able to do this while testing out my Kindle.
The book I just finished is "Throne of Fire" by Rick Riordan. This is the second book in the Kane Chronicles series and is very similar to the popular series about Percy Jackson (by the same author).
Sadly, some of my dislikes about the Percy Jackson books are present in this series as well. I can get past some of that because the story is good (grammar and spelling mistakes throughout).
The two Kanes (Carter and Sadie) embark in this book to awaken the sleeping crazy Zeus. The meet new friends and new challenges. There are bumps and twists throughout the book. And the one thing that kinda bugs me is that the climax is at the end of the book – creating a cliffhanger. Now I am stuck waiting for the next book to be published – arghhh.
I liked the story. I thought it was entertaining. I would certainly let me children read the book. It is a nice adventure and a good escape from the daily stresses.
Check it out sometime.

How do we define image? Is image a visual thought? Do all images have their source in other images, or associations with other images? 'Stevie Smith and the Willow' is a painting from a series of works which nod towards creative communality. It has at its heart the drawing that accompanies Stevie Smith's 1957 poem, 'Not Waving But Drowning'. Smith was definitely an original, whose poems (and pictures) make a confluence of the comic and the metaphysical. In the painting, the girl (artist, poet, reader, child) bathes in the water under an old weeping willow:
part tree, part self, part story, part rebirth.
I've been working for the past three years on the ways in which figures, places and ideas meet and open each other, specifically referencing writers who happened, in history, to pass through London's Regent's Park. The park has long been a source for my work, a place where the public and the private, the external and the psychological worlds, come together. It's also a place of constant renewal. The painting is about this renewal, natural and aesthetic, across form, time and image.

KANNAPOLIS, N.C. — One of the major goals of Dole's Nutrition Research Laboratory is to prove to consumers how healthy fruits and vegetables are, and director Nick Gillitt has the perfect test subjects: A NASCAR pit crew.
Gillitt, who is also an organic chemist, would like to test fruit and vegetables' ability to keep oxidative stress down, which is another way of saying helping people recover faster after exercise.
But the challenge is to find a subject group that will actually follow the directions of eating prescribed amounts of food, which is where the pit crew comes in.
Gillitt said he's talked with NASCAR's Hendrick Motorsports, headquartered in nearby Concord, which owns cars driven by Kasey Kahne, Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Hendrick employs 10 pit crew members for each of the 4 teams, a perfect number for an experiment.
"Competition to get into that group is intense, so they stay in," Gillitt said. "It's a controlled population. They will do it."
Five years in
The Dole Nutrition Institute opened in the fall of 2008 in Kannapolis, on the site of a former textile mill, which employed thousands of workers before it lost business to cheaper imports.
Dole president and chief executive officer David Murdock built the institute to provide consumers with scientifically tested data showing how beneficial fresh fruits and vegetables are to eat.
"He's not a scientist," Gillitt said, "but he realizes how important science is."
Gillitt is one of four full-time Dole scientists at the laboratory, which is housed in the institute. But in the campus' three buildings, he said there are more than 300 scientists and 600 workers.
The institute has partnerships with eight local universities and one community college who operate on the campus:
University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, which runs the Nutrition Research Institute;
North Carolina State University, which runs the Plants for Human Health Institute;
University of North Carolina-Charlotte;
North Carolina A&T University;
North Carolina Central University;
University of North Carolina-Greensboro;
Appalachian State University;
Duke University; and
Rowan-Cabarrus Community College.
Banana power
The study using a NASCAR pit crew may sound ambitious, but Gillitt said the research lab has already conducted and published one showing bananas' effectiveness during exercise, using Appalachian State cyclists.
Last year researchers at the institute published results in a peer-reviewed journal showing bananas did just as well as sports drinks for people during and after exercising.
Two groups of Appalachian State cyclists consumed either sports drink or half a banana and water every 15 minutes during a 2-3 hour simulated road race.
In addition to measuring performance between the two groups, blood samples were taken before and after exercise and studied for sugar levels to determine performance and recovery.
The results showed there was virtually no difference between the two groups.
"The body processed the fuel the same way," Gillitt said. "We didn't think bananas would be better, but being the same is amazing because sports drink makers spend millions (of dollars on them)."
He said many high performance athletes aren't enthused about drinking what amounts to sugar water, but they like the results, and now they have an alternative.
There's no reason a retailer couldn't market bananas next to the sports drinks in their stores, Gillitt said, and it can apply to 10 year-olds playing soccer, not just high performance athletes.
Pineapples up next
Another study Gillitt is looking forward to is testing the blood benefits from bromelain, which is a compound found in pineapples.
He said bromelain has long been thought to have anti-inflammatory properties and aids in digestion, but no studies exist showing it.
"The pineapple world needs that bridge between 'we know what's in it' to 'we know how it affects human health,'" he said.
One tool he can use is called a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance 950 machine. He said it's one of the two most powerful such machines in the world which performs similarly to an MRI machine on people, but the NMR is for imaging food.
"I'd like to image bromelain and then see how it acts in the blood," he said.
The NMR 950 is an example of another of the Dole institute's goals, which is to house some of the world's best science equipment and then use them to attract the most talented scientists.
Gillitt said it's working.
He said this fall, the institute plans to open lab space for other companies in the core lab building, which could include desks, sinks, storage and equipment to run trials, in addition to all the other equipment at the facility.
And Gillitt said Murdock donated land on the campus to the city of Kannapolis for its city hall and a 400-seat auditorium. which should begin to be built in early 2014.
Gillitt says of his boss, who spends time in his office at the institute about 10 times a year, "His belief in science drove us to be here."

GEF/Developer FAQ
- 1 General
- 2 Download and Install
What is GEF
The Graphical Editing Framework is an open source framework dedicated to providing a rich, consistent graphical editing environment for applications on the Eclipse Platform.
Why should I use GEF?
GEF enables developers to easily create rich graphical editors within Eclipse. GEF has been used to build a variety of applications, including state diagrams, activity diagrams, class diagrams, GUI builders for AWT, Swing and SWT, and process flow editors. For more information on GEF features, please see the Project Overview.
What version of Eclipse do I need?
A given version of GEF requires the exact same version of the Eclipse Platform. For example, GEF 3.0.1 requires Eclipse 3.0.1.
How do I make a suggestion for this FAQ?
The best way to contribute to this FAQ is to post your suggestion to the GEF newsgroup with the subject prefixed by "[FAQ]". You may post just a question or both a question and answer.
Which operating systems does GEF support?
GEF is written in pure Java and should run on all operating systems officially supported by the Eclipse platform. It's primarily tested on Windows and Linux (GTK and Motif). See the readme file that came with your installation of GEF for specific versions.
How is GEF licensed?
GEF if licensed in accordance with the Eclipse Public License. Third party components built using GEF are made available under their own licenses.
Download and Install
How do I Install GEF?
Download the version of GEF that matches your installation of Eclipse. (The SDK download contains documentation and source, while the runtime download does not.) Exit Eclipse and unzip into the "eclipse" directory's parent directory. Restart Eclipse and verify that everything is installed. To do so, go to Help->About Eclipse Platform->Plug-in Details. Check the following entries:
Provider Plug-in name Eclipse.org Draw2d Eclipse.org Draw2d Documentation (SDK only) Eclipse.org Graphical Editing Framework Eclipse.org Graphical Editing Framework Documentation (SDK only) Eclipse.org Graphical Editing Framework SDK (SDK only)
The following directories should be present in your eclipse/plugins directory: (Note: Version numbers may differ according to download. This list assumes Eclipse build 2.1.0):
org.eclipse.draw2d.doc.isv_2.1.0 (SDK only) org.eclipse.draw2d_2.1.0 org.eclipse.gef.doc.isv_2.1.0 (SDK only) org.eclipse.gef.source_2.1.0 (SDK only) org.eclipse.gef_2.1.0
The following directories should be present in your eclipse/features directory: (Note: Version numbers may differ according to download. This list assumes Eclipse build 2.1.0):
org.eclipse.gef.source_2.1.0 (SDK only) org.eclipse.gef_2.1.0
Why isn't GEF showing up in Eclipse?
After installing GEF by extracting it to the necessary directories, it may be necessary to accept the changes within Eclipse. This can be accomplished by going to Help->Software Updates->Manage Configuration and right-clicking on Eclipse Platform. Select "Detected Changes..." from the menu and click Finish to complete the installation. This is the most common cause of the install not showing up in the aforementioned Plug-in Details view.
How do I Run the Logic Example?
Download the example that matches your version of GEF. Exit Eclipse and unzip into the eclipse directory. Restart Eclipse and verify it was installed by going to Help->About Eclipse Platform->Plug-in Details and checking for Logic GEF Example in the list. Next, create a simple Project. Then run the Logic Wizard. The wizard can be found at File->New->Other (Control+N), under the Examples heading. Select the simple project as the container in which the wizard will place the example document. The document should open automatically when you press Finish.
Where do I find the documentation?
The 3.1 documentation is now available online.
The latest documentation is available in the SDK download. After unzipping this build into your Eclipse installation directory, start Eclipse (and possibly restart after updating via the update manager), click on the Help menu and then Help Contents.
When the Help window opens, there will be a section called GEF and Draw2d Plug-in Developer Guide.
In this section, you'll find Developer Guides which contain high-level descriptions of GEF and Draw2d, as well as API References containing javadoc.

Digit-Eyes iPad App for Visually Impaired or Dyslexic Students
Digit-Eyes is a great iPad app for the visually impaired. Digit-Eyes enables people without vision to create and read bar-code labels. Students can use Digit-Eyes to identify class textbooks, magazines, DVDs and other coded items.
Digit-Eyes is compatible with iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, so even students that may have trouble handling an iPad can use it.
A student can use their iPad to scan product packaging for UPC/EAN codes, and Digit-Eyes automatically identifies the code and tells him the name of the product. A student can also can QR codes a well.
If you turn the iPad's VoiceOver function, then Digit-Eyes will read the coded information out loud for the student. With the aid of Digit-Eyes, anyone can scan and hear the names of more than 7.5 million products, often including the full description, usage instructions, and ingredients and in ten languages.
If that were all Digit-Eyes did, it would be a great product. It also, however, enables you to print your own bar codes directly from the Digit-Eyes website on ordinary labels. You can then attach those labels to anything that you want to scan and identify.
As a teacher, you could create digital labels for the items in your classroom you want your students to identify, and print labels for those items.
To take this one step further, the Digit-Eyes bar codes you print can contain text that VoiceOver reads or recorded audio that plays when the label is scanned. A student could create labels that help her organize the contents of folders, updating the recording/label as contents change. You could record audible classroom labels as well, providing verbal instructions for how to use various items.
Digit-Eyes sells washable labels that can be placed in clothing to help identify them. Recorded messages can be associated with these labels. In addition, you can rerecord the audio associated with the labels as needed. Digit-Eyes also sells pre-printed paper audio labels.

Firewood: What Type Should You Use?
'Tis the season for hot chocolate and snuggles by the fire. Many newer homes have gone to gas fireplaces. They're cheaper to build, easier to install, and are often considered more convenient. Just flick a switch.
But for those of us who are "old school", nothing but a real wood-burning fire will do. The smoky smell, crackling sound, and tactile ritual of fire building… nothing can really match it.
So when it comes to building a wood fire, what type of firewood should you use? Each wood species has its own set of burning characteristics, and there are a lot of choices out there. Here's a quick primer on some of the most popular and available firewood types.
Oak is abundant in the United States and is considered one of the best species for firewood. Dried properly, it can produce a very slow-burning and hot fire. But it does need to be seasoned—aged in a dry area, that is—for at least one year, preferably two. Like other hardwoods, oak is difficult to ignite, but you'll be rewarded once it's burning with an intense, sustained fire.
Hard Maple
Readily available in the northern US and Canada, hard maple is extremely dense and heavy, which allows it to burn very slowly, even in comparison to other hardwoods like oak and hickory.
Birch is very attractive and gives off a lot of heat, but it burns fairly quickly. Though birch can be easier to find and cheaper than many other species, you'll go through it faster. It's best mixed into your firewood supply and used in combination with other types.
Widely available and highly sustainable in northern climates, pine seasons faster than hardwood varieties, is easy to split, and easy to start. The cons are that it burns very quickly and does not produce the heat of hardwoods. Also, burning pine is usually characterized by exploding sap pockets that cause sparking, which it turn can cause creosote buildup in your chimney. Many people like to use a softwood like pine to get a fire started before switching over hardwoods once the fire is hot.
Probably the best conifer for firewood, Douglas Fir has a medium heating value and does not produce too much ash. Older trees are easy to split and easy to start. Fir does produce a moderate amount of sparking.
Most any wood that has been seasoned properly will burn well. And even the best firewood will not burn well if it has not been seasoned. If the moisture level in wood is too high, energy is consumed evaporating water instead of throwing heat out.
Many dealers sell "seasoned" wood, but if it's been split this year, it probably won't be dry enough. Most experts advise buying wood this year to burn next year.
Wood that has been seasoned properly will appear grayish in color on the outside and weigh less than a new piece of wood of the same species. If you split it in half, it should be white on the inside.
Whatever firewood you choose to burn, make sure to store your wood in a well-ventilated outdoor area that is protected from the elements. Bring in only as much firewood as you plan to use in your fire. (Indoor temperatures can encourage any bugs in the wood to become active.)
Finally, settle in with a good beverage and book to enjoy one of the best practices of the winter season.

The Australian Shepherd, often known simply as the "Aussie", is a medium-sized breed of dog that was, despite its name, developed on ranches in the Western United States during the 19th century. There is disagreement regarding the exact history of the breed prior to its arrival in the United States, and thus no official consensus on the origin of its name or association with Australia
They are similar in appearance to the popular English Shepherd and Border Collie breeds, and research has found that Australian Shepherds and Border Collies are closely related to each other; both the Border Collie and Australian Shepherd are slightly more distantly related to other kinds of Collies and to Shetland Sheepdogs.
Australian Shepherds rose in popularity with a boom in Western riding after World War II. They became known to the general public through rodeos, horse shows, and Disney movies made for television.
For many years, Aussies have been valued by stockmen for their versatility and trainability. While they continue to work as stock dogs and compete in herding trials, they have earned recognition in other roles due to their trainability and eagerness to please and are highly regarded for their skills in obedience. Like all working breeds, Aussies have considerable energy and drive and usually need a job to keep them occupied. They often excel at dog sports such as dog agility and frisbee and are also highly successful as search and rescue dogs, disaster dogs, detection dogs, guide dogs, service dogs, and therapy dogs. They are considered the 17th-most popular dog breed in the United States.

Characteristics BSN Amino X - 1kg (70 servings)
- Endurance Training
- Muscle Recovery and Repair
- Workout Performance
- Muscle Protein Synthesis
Unleash your performance potential!
Amino X® is a stimulant free, BCAA formula designed to support endurance during your workout and aid in muscle recovery post training, so you can push your performance to the next level.

Offered in five refreshing flavors, Amino X® provides you with versatile, nutritional support for any type of workout regimen.
BCAAs and the Body
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, and therefore, the building blocks of lean muscle. Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) refer to three specific amino acids - Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine - that the body must obtain from either food or BCAA supplementation. BCAAs can be used by muscle cells as an energy source, which may help offset muscle breakdown during endurance exercise and help support recovery and repair after weight training. As a result, BCAAs are a popular and relevant supplement among those who exercise regularly*.
Suggested usage
As a dietary supplement, mix 1 scoop with 6-8 oz. of cold water or any beverage of your choice before, during, or after your workout.
Note: To prevent settling, stir and drink immediately. To ensure maximum results: wait 20-30 minutes after taking AMINOx® before eating a meal or drinking a shake.
Note: To maximize the effects of AMINOx® consume 120 oz. of water per day and a diet that is rich in protein and carbohydrates. Your body chemistry and weight will determine how long it takes to experience the effects of AMINOx®. AMINOx® begins to induce its maximum effects in weeks 3-12. After 12 weeks of use, discontinue for at least 4 weeks.

REcreate helps revitalize downtown scene
Carnival of the Arts … A virtual delight for the senses, REcreate is a vibrant creative cultural event staged in historic downtown Beaumont that was first held last year, and by the looks of last Saturday night, doubled in size this year. More than just a fundraiser, REcreate began as an idea by co-organizers Grace Mathis and Lorena who did an incredible job keeping the entertainment, events and libations flowing for many hours throughout the evening. The historic Hotel Beaumont (celebrating its 90th birthday) and the Jefferson Theater played host to the fantastic style shows taking place not once but twice throughout the night. Seen in the mix either participating or enjoying the festivities were Karen Corwin, Gladys Thomas, Guy Goodson, Natalie Cardona, Kevin Peyton, Carlo Busceme III, Nathan Jones, Rusty Hall, Mary Jowers, Ann Creswell, Tessa Carmichael, Thomas Hall, Kara and Zach Hawthorn, Connie and Paul Szuch, Marc McDonald, Darrell Troppy, Sandra Hammerling, Evelyn Sibley, Laurie Pfeifer, Jimmy Johns, John David Roberts, Michael Getz, Nancy and Larry Beaulieu, Virginia and Ralph Jordan, David Dishman, Vic Reyna, Nathaniel Welch, Jimmy John Akink andEvelyn Sibley, and too many more to mention! So many are looking forward to REcreate 2013!
Jazz and Java … The window to make reservations is closing for the Lamar University Alumni Jazz Night at Rao's (Dowlen location), scheduled for Thursday, July 26. Jazz entertainment from LU students will be live at this LU alumni-owned business. Reservations are required by July 20, so call (409) 880-7984.
Cool dining … Foodies were thrilled to learn that the A/C was cooling nicely this past weekend at Finch Hutton as they enjoyed the fine dining experience.

If you're in the market for second hand EXA/Pulsar NX there's just a few things you should keep in mind when it comes time for an inspection. I had highlighted these out to one of our members (Nismobaby - Vi Pham) in order to prevent her going through what I have and other members have gone through. The list got so big I decided to share this with everyone else.
Here are things to look out for or do when it comes to the inspection:
- Get a mechanic to check your vehicle before you put any money down (or unless someone you know has some mechanical knowledge, however EXAs are finnicky little cars and even some mechanics can't figure them out).
- check out the power steering rack (they cost a fortune to rebuild.. actually around $400-500 for recon in my area).
- check for any hesitation or misfiring (this indicates a worn coil pack.. there are four coil-packs in your car and they cost $250 each from nissan).
- check for a slick gearshift (i.e. no crunching or missing gears, a single gear on your car can cost anything up to a grand to replace).
- check for accident damage of course.
- check for previous modifications and that they were done properly.
- check your boot and if it smells like petrol after a drive (this was recalled defect I heard about.. my does it but it's not dangerous so I haven't had it fixed).
- check if fuel/temp gauges work properly (a shorted power transisitor is a common problem on EXA's.. not expensive to fix but frequently happens at least once to the majority of owners).
- check oil gauge in centre console works properly (often these things go.. they aren't worth fixing.. mine isn't so i left it there.).
- check the pop up headlights.. make sure they go up and down without any clicking sort of noises or grinding noise (better to get someone else to stand closely to the front of the car and listen for this).
- if the car has done 100,000kms check that the timing belt has been changed (these are darn expensive but must be changed, if not the car can lose compression when it snaps and you can say bye-ye to your engine)
- and then check for the usual stuff, air/con, radiator, targa roof, exhaust......
Many would agree that a well looked after EXA is just as reliable as (if not more) than a Holden Commodore or Ford Falcon. But the reason this list was made is because, mechanics will often overlook these problems if they are not familiar with the EXA, and I feel it the the duty of the EXACLUB to point these (expensive!) problems out so you don't end up feeling like you bought a lemon.
Just remember, once you get your EXA check your fluids regulary and also service your new car every at max every 5000kms. If you look after the EXA, it will look after you.
Happy cruising!
Check for Private Import
Private Imports aren't all that common but with more deregulations of import laws in Australia more and more people are privately importing EXA's into Australia.
A dead give-away that an EXA is a private import, is that it will be a 1.6 L and have rear end disc brakes (with ADH7 embossed into the rear drivers side caliper).
Another clue is, next to the cigarette lighter will be diagonal slotted holes similar to the shape of the brake lights.
Also there may be various Japanese stickers in the engine bay, sunshade and warning sticker for the targa roof.
Best bet is to buy an original Australian import, that way insurance won't hassle you about having a private import and you'll probably get a 1.8 L.
Although there is nothing wrong with buying an import, remember you do get the high compression 1.6L motor which derives it's power much earlier than the 1.8L, you should at least know what you're getting to knock the price down a little.
Crank Angle Sensor
This item is connected to the exhaust camshaft on the twin-cam engine. It regulates the timing on the CA18 engine depending on input from other sensors (such as air-flow sensor, EGO sensor, temperature sensor, etc). A good Crank Angle Sensor allows the EXA to acheive optimum performance and fuel consumption. The CAS can be worn out when mileage is high, this leads to inaccurate timing of the exhaust camshaft.
You know when the CAS is stuffed when the EXA seems to detonate at certain points (eg. choke turns off, soft to hard driving, warm and cold driving). It will seem to chudder and spit irregularly.
Pop-Up Headlights
This goes for basically all cars with pop-up lights. From time to time the pop-up headlights will fail to "pop-up" or "fall-down". Hitting it won't help, but there is a knob behind the headlights located in the engine bay which can assist the headlights in functioning properly again.
Check that the lights pop-up and on, from turning on the lights. And push the "stay-on" button in the cabin a few times, to see that it functions without turning on the lights.

It was one of those days when we felt like change was in the air – even if it was a small victory it was an important one.
Yesterday, we confirmed that notorious palm oil producer and forest destroyer, Duta Palma, has (finally) been ejected from the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil – an organisation with the declared aim of ensuring environmentally responsible palm oil production.
You might remember Duta Palma: we've been investigating and uncovering their practices for the last few years, revealing as recently as three weeks ago the company's rogue activities in Indonesia.
This company has a long history of deforestation, community conflict, illegality, and non-compliance with RSPO regulations. But finally – and for what it's worth – Duta Palma no longer has a stamp of approval from the RSPO.
This is good news, even if it means the RSPO dithered over this decision for far too long.
Our forest supporters around the world can claim this as good news for the people who depend on Indonesia's rich forests, and the many animals that are threatened by the relentless expansion of destructive companies like Duta Palma.
But sadly, the case of Duta Palma is not over. Its operations continue and its legacy of environmental and social destruction will live on.
There is still a lot of work to be done, and this one action does not mean that being a member of the RSPO is a sign that the palm oil you buy is free from deforestation: see here for what we had to say about the RSPO's latest raft of weak and ineffective rules.
At the end of the day, it's up to the movers and shakers in the palm oil industry to take responsibility for their supply chains. The Duta Palma case reveals the risk faced by respected global brands that palm oil they purchase through international traders may come in part from illegal and destructive operations. Cargill, the world's largest privately owned company, clearly stated it no longer trades with Duta Palma. But traders such as Wilmar International and Sime Darby that have been known to supply Duta Palma's dirty palm oil to the international market need to come clean about their supply chains. They need to commit to zero deforestation practices.

We are urging the government to use the expected moratorium extension to review all existing concessions areas so that rogue operators don't get away with environmental crimes again.
So the work continues. We will continue to investigate, document and expose deforestation and the devastation it causes to forest dependent communities, Indonesia's precious population of tigers and the climate. We look forward to reporting more good news soon.
Watch this space.

If I could do those kinds of things to food, I'd tattoo "food artist" to my forehead. I was the awkward American taking pictures of everything that I ate just so I could look at it longer.
My poor husband nearly threw his arms off throwing kids in the pool. Normally our kids have to do the pool with just mom while daddy works to support our slovenly ways, but on vacation, daddy is there to throw them entirely too far up into the air.
My little lady got her hair done up in these super cute braids. She is looking SO old with her holey mouth and braided hair.
While Sadie preferred the pool, the boys had a great time looking for treasures in the ocean.
I also told a massive lie while we were on vacation. Our resort had a kids club which would normally be a major score, except that they would only take kids ages 5 and up. We found that most of our resort comrades were getting their 4 year olds into the kids club so we took a gamble and took both Sadie and Noah there for a couple of hours while the rest of us took a nap. They didn't question Noah on his age at all, they just welcomed him in. But the last day on the beach, there was a snorkeling excursion that hubby and I wanted to do that we couldn't do with the kidlets. I must have wanted to go super bad because I lost all my morals over it. I marched my big kids into the kid's club and once they were in, I pushed Miles (my 23 pound 3 year old) right in behind them. I was sweating with worry wondering if this was going to fly. The sweet babysitter at the door looked at me and Miles a little quizzically and said, "How old is he?" Before I could even think I blurted out, "He's 4 1/2. He's really small. From Africa." and then I ran before they had the option of returning him. I trucked it down to the beach for the snorkeling excursion just certain that God was going to smite me for my big whopper. I braced myself for getting eaten by a shark or pierced through the heart by a stingray. Ironically, none of those happened. God must have known I needed a little kayaking/ snorkeling fun with my hubby because it was an awesome experience! The reef we went to was the second largest in the world and we saw some of the most beautiful fish I've ever seen! And when we picked up the kids they were all happily making bracelets with the kids club staff. No harm no foul, but I was freaking out about my half truth. Lucky for me, when you ask Miles how old he is, he says, "I'm seben." or "I'm six!"
All in all, it was such a great time with the family! Except for one little mishap that involves a jaguar and the world's ugliest souvenir ever purchased, but that is a whole other story that will hopefully be told in the near future...

I don't know about you, but my food preferences change with the seasons. Without me even realizing it in the Winter I gravitate towards soups, meats and potatoes, recipes that include heavy creams. I almost don't even think about vegetables. Then Summer rolls around and all of the sudden I am practically a vegetarian. Besides all of the hamburgers and hot dogs that we throw on the grill everything I eat is fresh and colorful.
Well the weather has been heating up here in Denver and so has my need for eating fresher foods. The other night I took my first step towards my Spring/Summer eating habits. I made chimichurri rubbed fish tacos with an avocado corn salsa. They were delicious!
Chimichurri Rubbed Fish:
- 1 lb Cod
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoons red wine vinegar (white wine vinegar would work fine too)
- 1 tablespoon parsley flakes
- 2 teaspoons oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 avocados, diced
- 8 oz. can corn
- 1 jalapeno, diced
- 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small red onion, diced
- juice from 2 limes
- salt to taste
Then combine your salsa ingredients in a bowl and stir together. Refrigerate for a few minutes before serving.
When cod is cooked, cut into smaller pieces. Lay cod inside warm corn tortillas and then top with avocado corn salsa.

Big East Morning Five: 03.16.12 EditionPosted by Patrick Prendergast on March 16th, 2012
- If anyone had questions about how the loss of starting center Fab Melo would impact Syracuse in the NCAA Tournament… they should still have questions. The East Region's #1 seeded Orange needed about 39 ½ minutes and a few controversial calls to finally discard a pesky UNC Asheville squad in a game where Bulldogs' Head Coach Eddie Biedenbach believed his team had the best of it. "Tonight, we were better than Syracuse," Biedenbach said. "These guys played their tail off for 40 minutes and played better than Syracuse. This is the better team tonight." All that said, this was a game where Syracuse would not have ended the scrutiny involved without Melo in the lineup regardless of the result. If they had won in a landslide, critics would simply say they should have won in a landslide as a #1 versus as #16. We are sure to learn more on Saturday when Syracuse faces a much stiffer and battle-tested opponent in Kansas State.
- Following Syracuse's narrow win over UNC Asheville, head coach Jim Boeheim was admittedly upset. However it had nothing to do with his team's performance yesterday. Boeheim was reacting to comments made by Arne Duncan, the U.S. Secretary of Education who insinuated that Boeheim was against the NCAA's Academic Performance Rating (APR) system and that his team would not have qualified for this year's NCAA Tournament under the recently tightened standards that will impact teams' eligibility next year. A team that fails to meet a minimum 930 APR score will not be eligible for next year's Tournament. Boeheim vehemently denied that his team would have failed to qualify this year, saying, "I think people need to get better information. Syracuse would be eligible to play in the Tournament this year. We are qualified. We are over 930. Under this year's rules or last year's rules, we would be eligible to play in the Tournament." Boeheim also took umbrage to Duncan's quoting Boeheim as saying the APR standard was "completely nuts," stating that his words were taken out of context as he was referencing specific parts of the APR calculation that he is opposed to.
- The West Virginia men's basketball team has played its last game as a member of the Big East and the #10 seeded Mountaineers did not go out in style as they were outclassed by #7 Gonzaga, 77-54. The game was never really in doubt but remained entertaining nonetheless simply because the facial expressions of a less than jovial Bob Huggins are worth the price of admission every time. In the irony department West Virginia ended its run on the home floor of their most hated Big East rival, Pittsburgh, in a game where the Mountaineers figured to have an advantage due to their proximity to home against a west coast team. West Virginia will learn all they want to and more about travel in their next life as they navigate the Big 12.
- Steve Lavin scored his second recruiting commitment of the week and it was a big one as JaKarr Sampson will head to St. John's after all. Sampson, an athletic 6'8" wing, was a highly regarded class of 2011 player who had signed with the Red Storm hoping to begin his college career in 2011-12. However, after being ruled academically ineligible, Sampson opted to re-open his recruitment and head back to Brewster Academy (NH) for another prep year. St. John's remained on his list throughout but it was widely believed Sampson was leaning toward suitors such as Kansas, Baylor and Providence, who had been recruiting him hard. Re-landing Sampson represents a huge statement by Lavin, whose program has been on tenuous ground since his difficult recovery from prostate surgery sidelined him for most of the year. Despite rumors he may not be back next year and stories of opposing recruiters using his health against him, Lavin has publicly remained confident St. John's would acquire another huge recruiting class. He has quelled any doubts with the addition of Sampson.
- Connecticut's Jim Calhoun and Kentucky's John Calipari certainly compete for recruits as they lead national programs perennially seeking Final Fours and NCAA Championships. Not to mention that the Huskies and Wildcats were on a collision course for a third round NCAA Tournament matchup before Connecticut fell to Iowa State last night. With that in mind, one has to wonder if the wily veteran Calhoun was exhibiting a bit of gamesmanship when he commented that he would not be surprised to see Calipari making a jump back to the NBA on the heels of the New York Knicks and Mark D'Antoni parting ways. "Can I imagine John going in the NBA or anything else? Yes," said Calhoun. "I think John very simply marches… to his own drummer," he added. Upon D'Antoni's exit, Calipari's name quickly surfaced as a possible replacement. Calipari responded to the buzz by saying he intends to stay at Kentucky.

Alain Delord, French solo sailor attempting a circumnavigation in his A35 yacht Tchouk Tchouk Nougat, has been dismasted some 400 nm south of Tasmania in the Southern Ocean. He is now in a liferaft pending rescue by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, having abandoned his yacht, which had suffered hull damage during the dismasting.
Overnight, aircraft crews have remained in regular communication with a solo yachtsman who abandoned his vessel and has been in a life raft south west of Tasmania for nearly 72 hours.
Three commercial aircraft were used in last night's operation and crews have maintained a regular communications schedule with the French native sailor. Two of the planes had French interpreters on board to aid in communication efforts.
Today, up to four aircraft will attend the scene while the cruise ship PV Orion makes its way towards the life raft, expected to arrive later this afternoon.
The sailor has been dropped food, water, communications equipment and a survival suit. AMSA has attempted to make contact with vessels which have been identified within 100 nautical miles of the life raft, but has not been successful.
Delord had been caught in a severe system before the dismasting. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) is coordinating the rescue operation. On Friday night, AMSA's Essendon-based Dornier aircraft confirmed the sailor had abandoned his yacht and was in a life raft.
A cruise ship, Orion, has started making its way towards the yacht's position and is due to arrive tomorrow (Sunday) evening. Aircraft will remain in the area until a vessel is able to assist. The location is too distant for a helicopter to rescue the sailor.
The Orion, the only vessel responding to the distress call it received on Friday, was 11 days into an 18-day Antarctic and sub-Antarctic tour when it was asked to divert to the rescue. It is equipped with 10 Zodiacs and highly experienced crew perfectly suited to mount a recovery effort in heavy seas.
Orion expedition leader Don McIntrye. "The forecast is for 30 knot winds gusting to 40 knots and the seas will probably be around seven metres. He has to hang on until tomorrow night and that will be really challenging as his liferaft could capsize at any time."
"His biggest threat will be the physical damage from the waves and hypothermia from the cold. Hopefully he will be wearing a survival suit. The French have a very good understanding of the need for survival suits. It'll really improve his chances of survival."
In yesterday's task, the Dornier dropped a second life raft and communications equipment. An associate of the sailor contacted AMSA early on Friday morning after the yacht had been dismasted.
After making contact with the sailor, who did not declare he was in distress at the time, AMSA advised him to head towards Hobart.
At approximately 1:00pm AEDT that afternoon, AMSA detected an emergency beacon activation from the yacht 500 nautical miles south west of Hobart.
Three other solo sailors are currently attempting non-stop unassisted circumnavigations from west to east. They are British sailor Jeanne Socrates in her 38ft Nereida who left Vancouver in September and has already passed Cape Horn in calm conditions, Indian sailor Abilash Tomy, who left Mumbai on November 1st on his 50 ft Hallberg Rassy designed (but Indian built) Mhadei, and Chinese sailor Guo Chuan, who left Quindao on November 18 on an Akilaria 40.
A fourth boat, Maserati, skippered by Italian sailor Giovanni Soldini, is approaching the Horn from east to west. They are expecting tough conditions as 35kt winds are forecast 'on the nose'.
