Jewish Budapest, full dayJewish tour in Budapest can take an entire day. If you want to know everything there is in Jewish life and Jewish Heritage in Hungary, take this tour. You will learn about everyday life in Jewish Hungary, and the terrible story of the Hungarian Holocaust.
In the morning we visit the "Jewish triangle" in Budapest: that is the 19th century Jewish quarter with 3 Synagogues. The Great Budapest "Dohány Street" Synagogue is the second biggest Synagogue in the world! Learn about the tragedy of the Holocaust, illustrated by the Tree of Life, monument and foundation of Tony Curtis, and the Jewish Cemetery in the courtyard. Stories of Jewish Festivals, traditions and celebrations of everyday life are illustrated by amazing artefacts in the Jewish Museum. Our walk in the Budapest Jewish quarter takes us to two other synagogues, art dealers, and the longest inner courtyard-lane in Hungary. The Orthodox Synagogue offers just as much beauty as the big one, but is very little known, even by locals!
Suggested lunch in the best kosher restaurant.
In the afternoon we visit the Museum of Hungarian Holocaust. The Holocaust Memorial Center in Budapest was Winner of Certificate of Excellence by Tripadvisor in 2012. The permanent Holocaust exhibition is placed in the basement of the Memorial Center, while the periodic exhibitions use the refurbished Synagogue, its gallery, and inner courtyard of the Center.
The permanent exhibition in titled: From Deprivation of Rights to Genocide. It introduces the history of the Hungarian Jewish and Roma Holocaust through multimedia on touch-screens, by displaying original documents and objects, leading the visitors through specifically structured real personal and family histories. It is one of the most interactive and most modern presentations currently on display in Hungarian museums. Beyond commemorating the victims, the emphasis of the exhibition is on education and assisting new generations to deal with the horrors of the past, thus contributing to forming a foundation for learning tolerance.
Dear CathyLinda and Max Caller
Just to say thank you for making our day in Komarno so interesting and successful. We enjoyed your company and insights into life in Hungary.
We took your advice and ate at Dio – excellent food and went to the bookshop where we bought the book by Imre Kertesz. It is called 'Fateless' in English.
I hope you have a wonderful holiday camping with your family.
With our best wishes, 2010 August

May 30/11 I cannot express enough my satisfaction with what Katalin provided me with in this tour. She customized it based on my interests. In addition to seeing and learning about the places everyone needs to see, she helped me enjoy the city's local flavors: from taking a nap in the park to sipping coffee in an off-road cafe in the old city to taking me to a local market. She did it all with a fun, and friendly attitude. So, for everyone who wants to experience Budapest at its best, I highly r…Farida Kbar, United States

Katalin: I just wanted to thank you again for a wonderful bicycling experience bicycling with you along the Danube. There were three additional bicycling opportunities on the AMA cruise and I took one of the trips a few days after cycling with you. The other ride I did was about 22 miles (36 km) and it ended in Melk. There were about 15 participants on this ride and we actually rode about as fast as the boat did – of course they were going upstream. Wendy and I hope you and your family wi…David and Wendy Epstein

Dec 5/11 Katalin is a wonderful tour guide. We did a full day tour of Budapest and it was fantastic. The day was rainy, a bit cold, and overcast and we were a family group ranging in age from 13 to mid 50's – Katalin catered the tour to the weather and the various ages. She was friendly, full of tidbits of information, and gave us a good feel for the people, history, and culture of Hungary. I would recommend Katalin in a heartbeat.Beth Renstrom, United States
Just wanted to send a sincere thank you for the wonderful two days you spent with us. You brought the city to life and we know without your observations and knowledge we would not have understood a fraction of what Budapest really means. Your suggestions for "Must Sees" on our own time were excellent. Loved the Opera house tour (definitely a must), the Great Synagogue and Szabadsag ter though wish you had been there to educate us on its significance and its amazing buildings. Budapest may be a p…Malca Casiro, 2013 Aug

Sep 17/11 Katalin was a wonderful host during my short stay in Budapest. She was prompt and extremely knowledgeable about the Hungarian history. I enjoyed my tour very much and I felt like I was sightseeing with an old friend. I only had a few hours between flights but Katalin made the most of my time and I feel that I got to see a lot of the city in the short time I had there. I look forward to returning to Budapest one day soon.Lisa Mcgee, United States

Hello Cathy…. I just wanted to say thank you again for making my trip to Felsovadasz very memorable. As it turned out, it was more personal than what I expected. I remember I asked you if I could get the name and e-mail address of the lovely recorder in Felsovadasz so that I might contact her in the future. I would really appreciate that information.

Bob and Sharon Blake from Canada, 2013 fall
Hi Kathy, just wanted to say it was nice meeting you on our AMA cruise (Amabella) with Rachel. My wife Sharon is the one who lived 2 streets from you in Moncton, on Humphrey St. We had a great time visiting Budapest and you were a great tour guide. I will certainly recommend you to anyone going to Hungary, especially Budapest. You did a super job!! If you ever get back to our area again, please let us know. Thanks again and hope to meet again someday,
Jul 13/12 Katalin has it all. She is knowledgeable, warm and flexible. I told her when we met that I was particularly interested in Art Nouveau architecture and she easily put in such buildings in our tour around Budapest. She has the ability to incorporate what we see with the Hungary's history and main events and make it come alive before your eyes. I can give her my warmest recommendations and her guiding is one reason to return to Budapest.Monica Aa. Hansen, Norway
Hi Katalin,B. Renstrom, D. Leroy
I wanted to send a HUGE thank you your way for the wonderful tour you gave us last Monday.
We all agreed that it was the highlight of our trip and laid the groundwork for the rest of our stay.
Other things we saw / heard / did the rest of the week all related back to some tidbit of information you gave us and helped us put it all in perspective.
Apr 9/11 Kathy met us as planned and off we went in her car. We were certainly impressed with her knowledge of the city and its history. We drove to a lot of the sites, the citadel, the old town of Buda, walked its streets, The Church, went over the chain bridge, past the Gellert Hotel and its baths. Getting a "lay out" of the city, before we were to explore it on our own the next couple of days. Then we went to the farmers market for some snacks at home. Thanks Kathy, Jeanette :)Jeanettte Behrens, United States
Jul 19/12 Because of time constraints this was a short Jewish History tour which only took us to the main Synagogue before we were driven to the airport, but we would give Katalin 5 out of 5! Thank you again.Peter Flatter, United Kingdom

Suspect Salads: Rocket fuel in winter lettuce
Suspect Salads: Toxic Rocket Fuel Found in First Tests of Grocery Store Lettuce
Lettuce grown in the fall and winter months in Southern California or Arizona may contain higher levels of toxic rocket fuel than is considered safe by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, according to independent laboratory tests commissioned by Environmental Working Group (EWG).
In the first tests ever conducted for perchlorate in supermarket produce, 18 percent of lettuce samples contained detectable levels of perchlorate, and an average serving of these contaminated samples contained 4 times more perchlorate than the EPA says is safe in a liter of drinking water. EWG's tests on retail lettuce confirm studies showing that vegetables grown with perchlorate-contaminated water or fertilizer can take up and concentrate the toxin. Based on our tests and federal dietary data, EWG estimates that by eating lettuce, 1.6 million American women of childbearing age — the population of greatest concern — are exposed daily during the winter months to more perchlorate than the EPA's recommended safe dose.
Figure A
Perchlorate, the explosive main ingredient of solid rocket and missile fuel, can affect the thyroid gland's ability to take up the essential nutrient iodide and make thyroid hormones. For infants and children, small disruptions in thyroid hormones in utero or during early development can cause lowered IQ; larger disruptions can cause mental retardation, loss of hearing and speech, or deficits in motor skills. [1] There are no enforceable drinking water safety standards at either the state or federal level, but EWG's analysis of the latest scientific studies, showing harmful health effects from very low doses, argues that a national perchlorate safety standard should be no higher than one-tenth the EPA's currently recommended level. [2]
Perchlorate in the Colorado River
Sampling by state and federal officials has confirmed perchlorate contamination in more than 500 drinking water sources in 20 states, serving well over 20 million people in California, Arizona and Nevada, and unknown millions elsewhere. Among contaminated sources is the lower Colorado River — not only a major source of drinking water for thirsty, fast-growing cities including Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix and Las Vegas, but a 300-mile-long irrigation channel for a major part of the nation's winter vegetable crop. [3,4] Because perchlorate sampling nationwide is spotty —in some states not a single sample has been taken — it is possible that other regionally or nationally significant farming regions are unknowingly using perchlorate-contaminated water.
In January and February 2003 EWG bought 22 commercial lettuce samples for analysis by scientists at Texas Tech University. The samples included pre-packaged and head lettuces, adult and baby greens, organic and conventional lettuces, from several different distributors. Four samples contained measurable levels of perchlorate. The average amount in the contaminated samples was 70 parts per billion (ppb), meaning a typical one-cup serving would contain 4 micrograms (ug) of perchlorate. (Table A.) The EPA's provisional reference dose (RfD) for perchlorate in drinking water is 1 microgram per liter. [1]
Table A. Four of 22 Samples Tested Had Measurable Levels of Perchlorate*
*The level of detection varied by the type of lettuce analyzed, but is estimated to be 30 to 40 ppb perchlorate.
Download this table in PDF format
It should be emphasized that in this small sample, no relationship can be established between perchlorate levels and the variety of lettuce, the way it was packaged, or whether it was grown using organic vs. conventional methods. In other words, it is a coincidence that our sample of organic baby greens had the highest perchlorate levels of the four contaminated samples. Our study and earlier tests clearly show that perchlorate contamination is not limited to the type of lettuce, but that any lettuce grown in area where the irrigation water is contaminated may itself be contaminated.
Perchlorate, the explosive main ingredient of solid rocket and missile fuel, can affect the thyroid gland's ability to take up the essential nutrient iodide and make thyroid hormones. For infants and children, small disruptions in thyroid hormones in utero or during early development can cause lowered IQ; larger disruptions can cause mental retardation, loss of hearing and speech, or deficits in motor skills. [1] There are no enforceable drinking water safety standards at either the state or federal level, but EWG's analysis of the latest scientific studies, showing harmful health effects from very low doses, argues that a national perchlorate safety standard should be no higher than one-tenth the EPA's currently recommended level. [2]
We can't be certain where the lettuces were grown, or the level of perchlorate in the water used to grow them. But based on the purchase season and location, the samples most likely came from Imperial County, Calif., or Yuma County, Ariz. These two counties, on either side of the Colorado, grow 88 percent of the lettuce sold in the U.S. in January and February.
Virtually all of the Imperial-Yuma cropland is irrigated by the Colorado River, contaminated by waste from a now-closed perchlorate manufacturing plant near Las Vegas. [5] Between 500 and 900 pounds of perchlorate a day flow from the site into Lake Mead and down the river. Perchlorate concentrations of 4 to 16 ppb have been measured in the lake and river, and concentrations of 3 to 6 ppb have been measured near irrigation intakes in Yuma County. [6]
1.6 Million Women a Day Consume Excessive Perchlorate in Lettuce
To estimate how much perchlorate exposure women of childbearing age get from lettuce, EWG analyzed data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) on the actual lettuce consumption, adjusted for body weight, of more than 2,400 women. [7] Our analysis shows that of women between the ages of 15 and 44 who ate lettuce with the average level of perchlorate found in the contaminated samples, 57 percent would consume more than the EPA's provisional RfD for drinking water. Thirty-seven percent would get twice as much. (Figure B.) Women of child-bearing age are the most important population to consider because fetuses are much more susceptible to harm from perchlorate exposure than adults.
Figure B
One-fourth of the women in the USDA database ate lettuce on a given day, and 18 percent of the winter lettuce samples tested had measurable perchlorate. Therefore, EWG estimates that more than 2.8 million women of childbearing age in the United States are eating perchlorate-contaminated lettuce each day during the winter months. About 1.6 million of these women are getting a dose of perchlorate that is greater than the EPA's proposed reference dose, and more than 1 million are getting a dose at least twice the RfD. Based on lettuce production statistics for Yuma and Imperial Counties, which account for 70 percent of the national crop from November to March, about half as many women would be exposed in the fall months. [5] (Figure C.) In spring and summer, very little lettuce is grown in areas irrigated by the Colorado River.
Urgent Need for Action
EWG's findings have broad implications not just for the safety of produce, but also for current efforts to set perchlorate safety standards. If the perchlorate levels in our samples are representative, exposure is not just a problem for people in areas where the water is contaminated, but a national concern for everyone who buys winter lettuce at the grocery store.
Figure C
If these levels are confirmed by further testing, immediate action is needed to reduce perchlorate in lettuce and other vegetables. We urge the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to immediately begin testing lettuce and other crops irrigated by the Colorado River for perchlorate, and make the results public as soon as they are confirmed. Commercial produce grown in all other areas where water supplies are contaminated with perchlorate must also be tested. Any growers adversely affected by perchlorate contamination should be fully compensated for crop losses and damage to property values.

WILMINGTON, Ohio—Zac Lemmon (Granville/Granville) and Cecil Shorts (Cleveland/Collinwood) each scored three touchdowns as No. 2 ranked University of Mount Union posted a 51-0 Ohio Athletic Conference football win Saturday at Wilmington College in Wilmington, Ohio.
The Purple Raiders posted their 46th consecutive regular season and 97th consecutive road victory as they move to 3-0 overall and 2-0 in the OAC.
A season-high five turnovers by Mount Union was balanced out by a defense that forced four turnovers and held Wilmington (0-3, 0-2) to minus four yards rushing in the second half and 151 total yards.
Sophomore defensive end Charles Dieuseul (Winter Haven, Fla./Lake Region) led the unit with 10 stops, 2.0 sacks and a forced fumble.
Lemmon, a junior running back, had three rushing touchdowns from 62, 10 and three yards all in the first half, as he finished with 96 yards on 10 carries.
Shorts had a 68-yard punt return for a touchdown to go along with five catches for 139 yards and two touchdowns from quarterback Neal Seaman (Louisville/Louisville).
Seaman finished 13-of-20 passing for 241 yards with those two scores and a pair of interceptions.
The Raiders got off to a slow start with a pair of turnovers in their first two possessions and the Quakers had a chance to get on the board but had a 41-yard field goal attempt blocked by senior defensive end Lambert Budzinski (Canton/Massillon Jackson).
Lemmon then got the first score of the game on a 62-yard scamper for a score with 5:04 left in the first quarter. After forcing a three and out, Shorts then took a punt back 68 yards for score to finish the quarter with a 14-0 lead.
Lemmon tacked on touchdowns from 10 and three yards out in the second quarter and the shutout was preserved late in the half when Wilmington blocked a Mount Union extra point attempt and returned it all the way back to the Raider two yard line before sophomore Brandon Mathie (Louisville/Louisville) made the tackle.
Shorts hauled in 39 and 38 yard touchdown strikes from Seaman on the first drives of both the third and fourth quarters, Tyler Almeida (Elyria/Elyria) converted an 18-yard field goal and Blair Skilliter (Curtice/Genoa) ran in a touchdown from two yards out for the 51-0 final.
Mount Union hosts undefeated and No. 10 ranked Ohio Northern, a 36-0 victor over Muskingum, next Saturday, Oct. 2 at 1:30 pm in the home opener from Mount Union Stadium.

The leading company for Newsroom Computer Systems is looking for a new, fresh, innovative, modern and unique logo.
Annova is the leading software development company for the newsroom computer software.
The logo will be used at Annova-Systems.com but the "Annova†should stand alone and the "Systems†should be able to completely secondary. The graphics could include the name "Annova†or only a unique symbol which could be related to the NCS (newsroom computer system). We think about a logo which is on one hand side absolutely simple to remember and on the other hand a symbol for high performance, power, innovation and flexibility. The name/logo could be multicoloured or black and white only. We'll decide afterwards the best choice for us.
At this point, it is up to you to include graphical components for NCS modules inside or leave them out. In the end it should be a logo which needs to have an absolutely serious style for a high performance broadcast market.
The name "Annova†is a mix of "ann†and "novaâ€. You can additionally try to make this in any way visible or discard this information.

December 31, 1991
STM and I went out to dinner on Friday to celebrate our 21st wedding anniversary. Such is fitting for two middle-agers, we were home by 7:00, in bed by 9:00. That is not to say that we didn't have a wonderful time. We hoisted our wine glasses, looked into each other's tired eyes and STM said, "We've hung in, hung in, and hung in, and we still love each other."
It's fair to say we love each other more than we did when we got married, certainly more than when we thought we were first in love. And it hasn't all been "hanging in," there have been a lot of laughs along the way. Nobody can make me belly laugh like that one.
I can't, and won't even try to write the book on love. Married love, above all, is so complicated. (Parental love is simple.) There is no magic formula, it must work for the two parties involved and that is all - what is good for the goose, may not be good for the gander. There are double standards, silent agreements, spoken arrangements, and times when going to the mat is the only choice left. There are times when saying nothing is a sin, and when it's the greatest kindness you can offer the other. There are situations when retreating is the thing to do, and when being a dog with a bone is the saving factor. There is no road map and no key to the kingdom. It's trial and error, it's gut-it-out, it's savor the good and overlook the bad, it's for better for worse, it's forgive and forget, it's a spiritual covenant, it's a karmic relationship, it's a sacred contract.
I don't think all sacred contracts are meant to last a lifetime - some relationships, marriages, friendships, do what they were supposed to do - take us to where they were supposed to take us, teach us what they were supposed to teach us, then they expire. I do believe that my contract with STM is multi-lifetime, and that we came together in this lifetime, for very specific purposes (not the least of which was to have Woohoo and Rojo), and we have many more ahead.
At the end of January we will return to where this picture was taken - Kauai, 21-years later. We will celebrate my 50th birthday, and the people we are today, look back at the "kids" we were then, and look forward to what we will become. Together.

The Key to Precise and Personalized Instruction
Most reading programs claim to use assessment to drive instruction. However, many programs assess students to determine levels of risk and then allow the curriculum, rather than the data, to drive the instruction. Linking assessment to day-to-day instruction is key. Mondo's Bookshop Assessment uses formative data to place students on individual learning pathways so that student needs, not the curriculum, drive instruction.

Cortland Area Flute Ensemble
The Cortland Area Flute Ensemble's members are area high school, college, and community flute enthusiasts looking to perform flute ensemble repertoire. Our primary focus is to foster musical partnership and growth for flute enthusiasts through repertoire, performances, and other flute related opportunities.
The Cortland Area Flute Ensemble (CAFE) started out as a way for SUNY Cortland flute students to find an alternative ensemble to perform in. Gradually the ensemble added members from the community and local high schools. While there are only six regular members, the ensemble is always on the lookout for new flute players to join the ranks.
The CAFE holds weekly rehearsals at the Dowd Fine Arts Building on SUNY Cortland campus. Our partnership with SUNY Cortland's Fine Arts Department has not only given us a reliable rehearsal location, but has provided us access to its limited musical library of flute ensemble repertoire. The Fine Arts Department also allows us to utilize the college's alto flute for any rehearsals and performances that need it. The CAFE is looking to raise funds to purchase music and a bass flute to enhance the dynamics of the ensemble.
In the past, the CAFE has performed for the Blue Frog Coffeehouse and the SUNY Interfaith Chapel. The CAFE would like to do performances twice a year in the local Cortland Community. A performance goal of the CAFE is to challenge ourselves with the wide range of repertoire available. In addition, the CAFE hopes to bring music to those not able to come to our formal concerts. The CAFE would like to participate in local educational programs teaching about the flute family, flute music, and other unique concepts to our ensemble.
For more information about the Cortland Area Flute Ensemble, contact the Director, Ms. Maria R. Mucaria at email@example.com

by Carlton Smith One time-worn artifice in the insurance salesman's bag of tricks is known as "backing the hearse up to the door." To the mournful dirge of the salesman's solemn tones, the prospect is made to see his mortal remains begin their journey to the graveyard, while his tearful widow and orphans ("your loved ones") face a financially bleak future, hard pressed to keep a roof over their heads and pay the butcher and baker. More-professional salesmen tend to deplore the tactic as a shoddy gimmick. Its users argue that the typical prospect for life insurance has the curious notion that "it can happen to the other guy, but it won't happen to me" —not just now, at least—and. keeps putting off buying insurance until, perhaps, it's too late. It is true, certainly, that most of us have an aversion to accepting our own death as an ever-present possibility. If, however, you want an objective and realistic answer to the question "How much insurance do I need?" you have to face the possibility that you might lose an argument with a truck at 4:36 tomorrow afternoon. Statistically, you have comfortably long odds in favor of your living to the ripe old age assigned you in the insurance company's life expectancy tables. But if you are going to count on that, you are saying you don't need any insurance. Getting the right answer to the question above begins with the fact that if a healthy twenty-five-year-old American male stands up in line with 1,130 others of like description (or some such number, depending on whose mortality tables you believe) he can be pretty sure that for one of them the hearse is going to back up to the door some time in the next twelve months. And if that one just happened to be you...how much insurance would your family need? It is important to work out your own individual answer beginning with this ruthless assumption, because other- 'wise you might get your calculations confused by considerations of "insurance as an investment^' and other secondary uses to which it can be put. The primary purpose of life insurance—the one that comes ahead of all others—is protection. It is fine to take into account the other possible uses of life insurance—such as providing retirement income or funds for college education, etc. — but only after you are satisfied' that your family has adequate protection against loss of the primary breadwinner's income. If it just happens to be you for whom the bell tolls tomorrow, or next week or a year from now, any insurance dollars spent on secondary purposes at the expense of protection will have been painfully misdirected. So, first things first. As one philosopher observed, "if two men ride a horse, one needs must ride behind." Keep protection up front where it belongs and let other things come behind—if there's any room left in the saddle. Determining family protection is a two-part question: How much insurance do I need, and what kind? It is difficult to address yourself fruitfully to the second part until you have some numbers to work with—that is, an answer to the first part. Fortunately, getting the numbers is fairly easy. Many insurance men use a sales approach known as "programming your insurance." This technique produces a graphic answer to the question of "how much," often an impressive array of figures and charts in a thick binder. You can do your own programming by applying a standard formula. irst step: Calculate, or estimate, as accurately ^ • ^ H as you can, your survivors' monthly income needs if you were suddenly to become a vital -M . statistic. Carry this out to the year when the youngest child will have finished college. Couples as yet childless, whose plans call for having a family, should include the intended number and approximate time of arrival of each child. Unless you keep much more accurate track than do most families of where the money goes, start by breaking down the family's current annual expenditures into major categories. The bottom line should be the year's total outgo. Consider each category and ask yourselves how it would change in the event of the breadwinner's death. You will have to answer such questions as whether the family would continue in your present home, if you are homeowners, or whether they would need that second car, if you are now a two-car family. Your current commuting costs can be eliminated, along with premiums for any life insurance you now carry, and other personal expenses. This step requires detailed analysis and perhaps a little crystal gazing. In projecting future years'

For the second time on Tuesday, the Minnesota Senate has added an amendment to the stadium bill, and then dumped it.
It happened earlier in the day with the omission — and then the resurrection — of language nullifying the portion of the Minneapolis City Charter that requires a referendum before more than $10 million in municipal money is given to any sports facility.
Now, according to Pat Kessler of WCCO-TV, the Senate added a deal-killing "user fee" to the bill. And then an hour later they removed it.
Apparently, the Minnesota Senate behaves like a 14-year-old girl picking out a pair of shoes.
The ultimate question is whether they'll ever pass the bill. And then whether they'll change their mind an hour later.

Great ABS filament White 1.75 mm 1000 g for 3D printers. eSun filament gives you an affordable material with consistent quality.
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) filament has been in use for 3D printing for a long time. It used to be the most popular 3D print material, but due to the properties of ABS including high shrinkage it's hard to work with. Compared to other materials ABS still has some advantages including that its gasoline resistant, non-translucent and a soft bendable thermoplastic. Also compared to PLA it has a much higher glass transition point. ABS is an oil based product, making it less environmentally friendly than PLA is, and while printing it tends to give a bad chemical smell, so you probably want to use this in well ventilated conditions.
This filament will require more effort to print well. If you are using ABS to print small strong parts, you may get away with just using 3DLAC on a 65-80 degrees heated bed. Kapton tape is another product where ABS will print on, but it will require a higher temperatures around 110 degrees. For extruding the filament we recommend a temperature of 245 degrees, although it may extrude as low as 220 degrees, the layer bonding won't be as strong. For larger prints you should look into PETG filament first, without a heated chamber you will not be able to print this material without warping and cracking.
The Real ABS comes in many different colors directly from stock. For larger quantities and custom batches, feel free to contact our sales department.
eSun is a Chinese manufacturer of quality 3D Printer filaments. They offer great value for a great price, with a broad assortment of products. With their years of experience in the field of filament production, you can be assured that the filament is consistent in quality and diameter unlike most cheaper filament manufacturers. So if you are looking for a usable cheap filament, please check out the products in this category.

On Monday, March 23, a U.S. District Court found that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) bowed to political pressure from the Bush administration in its 2006 decision to limit access to emergency contraception without prescription to women aged 18 and older. The court ordered the FDA to expand over-the-counter access to 17-year-olds within 30 days. It further ordered the FDA to reconsider the application to eliminate all age restrictions to over-the-counter access to emergency contraception, which is sometimes called Plan B or the "morning-after pill."
The ruling comes just two days before the eighth anniversary of the Back Up Your Birth Control Day of Action, a day devoted to increasing awareness of and access to emergency contraception. While emergency contraception can help prevent unintended pregnancy when taken up to 120 hours after unprotected sex, it is most effective the sooner it is taken. Eliminating the requirement of a prescription for women younger than 18 will reduce delays in obtaining the method--thereby helping to reduce young women's risk of an unintended pregnancy.
The typical American woman faces a daunting challenge: Given that she wants two children, she spends only a few years trying to become or being pregnant, but about three decades trying to avoid pregnancy. Recent Guttmacher research documents the difficulty women confront in using contraception consistently and correctly over a lifetime. Finding the "right" contraceptive method is not a one-time decision--rather, women make a series of choices in response to their changing life circumstances and contraceptive needs.
The study found that life changes, such as the beginning or end of a relationship, a job loss or change, moving to a new home or a personal crisis, can contribute to lapses in contraceptive use, increasing the risk of unprotected sex. That's why emergency contraception, a back-up birth control method, can play a key role in helping women ensure that a contraceptive lapse or failure does not lead to unintended pregnancy. Health care providers are especially well positioned to counsel women about the potential impact of life events on their contraceptive use. They can also help women prepare for those transitions, as well as for potential method failures (like condoms breaking during sex) by providing emergency contraception to keep at hand in case it is needed and by educating them about its benefits and availability.
Continued efforts to raise public awareness about emergency contraception are essential and should include debunking myths about the method. Many women and men still do not know that emergency contraception exists or are confused about how the method works. Emergency contraception contains the same hormones that are found in ordinary birth control pills. It will not in any way disrupt an established pregnancy. And it is not to be confused with mifepristone, sometimes called RU-486, a drug used to terminate a pregnancy that is only available and administered at clinics or doctor's offices.
Much still remains to be done to help women and their partners improve their contraceptive use overall. The more we can identify and remove barriers to consistent use--while ensuring that people know about and have access to a back-up method like emergency contraception--the better prepared women will be to avoid unintended pregnancies and plan for the children they want, when they want them.

Cameron University will join colleges and universities across the nation to celebrate Constitution Day on September 17 with a discussion of religious liberty in Oklahoma. The event takes place in CU's CETES Conference Center at 11 a.m. and is open to the public at no charge.
The keynote address will be presented by Muneer Awad, Executive Director, Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) - New York. While serving as executive director for CAIR's Oklahoma chapter, he filed a lawsuit to stop the state from implementing a constitutional amendment to ban Sharia Law on the grounds that it violated the First Amendment. On November 29, 2010, the Federal district court ruled for Mr. Awad, temporarily blocking the amendment. That ruling was appealed; subsequently, the 10th Circuit Appeals Court unanimously upheld the ruling that blocked implementation of the amendment.
Awad has also organized Islamophobia workshops for the largest media institutions in Oklahoma and arranged discussions about civil rights and American Muslims at universities and law schools across the nation. In 2011, he was the recipient of the Tulsa Metropolitan Ministries Russell Bennett recognition, which recognizes people who provide courageous social justice leadership in Oklahoma. Earlier this year, Awad was a fellow of the American Muslim Civic Leadership Institute at the University of Southern California.
Cameron's observance of Constitution Day is sponsored by the School of Liberal Arts, the Department of History and Government, and the Lawton Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Constitution Day commemorates September 17, 1787, a key point in U.S. history, when the 39 delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed the document that defined and separated powers of the federal government. Voting, debating the issues, gathering to meet in public and in private, criticizing or praising your government, observing a religion of choice and pursuing an education and a career are just a few of the pursuits guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution.
For more information about Constitution Day, go to www.constitutioncenter.org.
For more information about this event, contact Richard Longoria, 580-581-5550, email@example.com or Jeffrey Metzger, 580-581-2494, firstname.lastname@example.com.

Designer Vern Yip's Georgia Home
Designer Vern Yip travels the planet, but his favorite place is home, where memories of special places, times, and people surround him
Friends warned Vern Yip that once he had children it would be "good-bye, beautiful home." Not so, he says. "We haven't done anything differently because we have kids," says the Atlanta-based designer and father of two.
Sure, there are a few rules. Some precious objects are off-limits, and there's no ball kicking in the house. ("There's a big backyard for that.") Occasionally things get broken. ("They're only things.") But Vern and his husband, Craig Koch, prove that a kid- and pet-friendly house doesn't have to mean barren tabletops and hose-down upholstery. The home they've created is filled with fine art, antiques, and artifacts collected from around the world.
Vern and Craig bought the 1925 stucco house about seven years ago. They updated the mechanical systems, tore up carpeting, and refinished the oak floors. Next up was converting the front screen porch into a foyer and creating a gracious entry. The porch's elegant arched openings were fitted with custom windows and French doors that flood the room with light.
Red, a color associated with good fortune in China, dominates the palette, beginning with the foyer, where a chandelier drips red crystals. "Even though I've been in this country since I was two months old, when you grow up being exposed to something, it becomes a part of you," Vern says. "You weave it through."
In the foyer, a modernist Baccarat crystal-and-wire chandelier and Asian artifacts set the tone for the house. The center table belonged to Vern Yip's mother.

Personal Touch
"I was raised with lots of really beautiful things within my grasp and, believe me, I broke plenty," Vern says. "But it was important to my mom that I understand what I could touch and what could be just visually appreciated. We decided to take that approach with our kids, and they've been great."

Collected Style
"For me, growing up with beautiful things and seeing them every day was critical to me being who I am today and knowing what I know," adds the designer, who recently wrote Vern Yip's Design Wise, a book to help others beautify their homes.
Even the couple's five big dogs—including two Great Pyrenees—seem to understand the rules. "They know which rooms they can go into and what furniture they can climb on," Vern says, though it's not always easy. "We have 500 pounds of dog in our house." Of course, it helps that Craig operates WAG-A-LOT dog-care facilities in Atlanta and is pretty adept at handling the big canines.
Living room sofas from Donghia are covered in "Trellis" in Siamese Taupe from Jim Thompson. Walls are Sherwin-Williams's "Worldly Gray." An art photograph by Andrew Moore hangs behind a wooden Hindu Ganesh figure, which was purchased in India. The elegant fan-top French doors are original to the 1925 house.

Storied Furniture
Vern was born in Hong Kong to Chinese parents. When he was an infant, the family moved to the United States, and he grew up in the Washington, D.C., area. The family traveled extensively, so he was exposed to many cultures, including his own Asian heritage.
Today Vern travels around the globe as a UNICEF ambassador, as a columnist for The Washington Post, and to oversee the manufacture of his home furnishings products, including fabrics and accessories. Often the children join Craig and Vern on the global jaunts, enjoying the same kinds of adventures Vern experienced as a child.
Personal stories fill the interiors he and Craig have created. In the living room are the well-worn leather chairs that Vern splurged on when he was a low-paid intern at an architectural firm. "I ate ramen noodles for three months straight after that because I had no money," he says. "Even the fabric on the sofa has a story," Vern says with a laugh, noting that he hauled 45 yards of Jim Thompson silk back from Bangkok, stuffing it in an airplane overhead bin.
A deep red antique rug was found in Marrakech. Vern splurged on two used leather chairs modeled on Le Corbusier, which were being removed from a lobby his firm was renovating.

Red bowl holding orchids (from China): antique.
Family Room
Trips to Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Laos have yielded treasures such as wooden roof spires and antique statuary that are displayed on pedestals throughout the house. Furnishing a home with objects that are reminders of journeys or loved ones makes it timeless, Vern says. "When you have a home that reflects you and your family, you create spaces that last a lifetime," he says. "I really love being able to walk through a room and see objects that remind me of parts of my life. Surrounding yourself with things that have special memories makes your home yours."
In addition to a new entry, as the couple updated their home, they also added a two-story wing for a family room, library, bathroom, offices, and a dog room on the main level. Upstairs is the master suite.
A large photograph occupies one wall of the family room, where red leather sofas from RH offer ample seating.

Dining Room
While rooms are filled with fine art and elegant furnishings, this is a family home, Vern insists. Draperies and dining chair seats are made with easy-care synthetic blends from Vern's fabric collections. "I have to be practical. We have kids and dogs. We need things to be beautiful and low-maintenance," he says. "I want a home that is warm and welcoming—a home that says who we are."
Spice-colored fabrics and trims for the draperies, chair upholstery, and table runner are from Vern Yip for Trend, a division of Fabricut. "I love fabric blends from the performance standpoint. They don't wrinkle and are colorfast and durable," he says.

NASA says goodbye to love triangle astronaut
You've done enough, thanks
Astronaut Bill Oefelein, who you may remember from the tale of nappy-wearing astronaut Lisa Nowak, is leaving NASA, the space agency said on Friday.
Nowak, who now faces charges of attempted kidnapping, drove almost 1,000 miles wearing an astronauts nappy, and disguised in a trenchcoat and wig, to confront a woman she believed to be a rival for Oefelein's affections.
Four months later, NASA asked the US Navy that Oefelein be reassigned. He has been transferred to the Naval Network Warfare Command Virginia where, according to reports, he is expected to work in satellite communications.
NASA has not elaborated on its reasons for requesting the transfer, saying only that it had "determined that Commander Oefelein's detail is no longer required for the purposes it was originally granted". ®

Jurassic World trailer on Thursday aswell, it's gonna be a good week.
Edit: Heh, just realized this is in gaming, this is referring to Star Wars right? Otherwise my Jurassic World comment would seem weird.

Yay, that guy from Attack the Block (watch it).
I've seen this trailer twice now and both times I started humming the Harry Potter theme, I don't know why.

When I went to see The Hobbit in IMAX, they showed this trailer before it.
In 3D. I literally let out a whoop, and I wasn't alone.
It was also shown during my sojourn to see the latest Hungry Games on Monday, and I said every line, and pumped my fist when the MF burst onto the screen.
I'm probably going to spend $200 going to see this movie between me watching it and taking my kids.
I went to see Phantom Menace 11 times in the theater. 9 during its first run, and twice when it re-released in 3D 3 years ago. Note, I just saw the 3D to support getting the OT in 3D, I absolutely hated TPM. Alas, it wasn't to be.
Had Disney gone ahead with those plans, we'd be getting ANH in 3D in 2 weeks...

The fuck? Why?

The fuck? Why?
Well, there was this huge line, so I couldn't buy tickets to day 1. So, when I was buying tickets, I was planning on an all day event. I was going to see every show that day, but it had to be day 2. I hadn't waited in line 6 hours for nothing... So, I had 4 tickets for day 2.
I couldn't wait until then, though, so on release day I drove about 60 miles to the town I grew up in and got tickets to see it in the local rinky dink theater.
So, by day 2, I had gone to see it 5 times.
The other 4 times... Frankly, for 2 I was experience hunting. I had to see it here. I went to see it another time with a friend.
Yes, it was a terrible movie, but it had a handful of great scenes. The lightsaber fight and the podrace.

Digital projection was the new thing Lucas was pushing at the time, so I saw it at all 3 digital theaters in Chicago at the time. Each projection system was different so I wanted to compare.
I saw it the day it came out, and then another few times with different friends. All in, I saw it a total of at least 6 times.
Exactly. Thanks for pointing that out. That cinema I linked above was the only one in about 200 miles of me that had DP.
Interesting anecdote: the cinema that I bought the 4 tickets for one day was where my future wife worked at the time. Technically, she worked at the arcade area (called Funscape), and I spent a good 2 hours there playing Star Wars Trilogy Arcade (I could beat the whole game on 1 credit, I played it so much). She was working there that day, even though we didn't really meet for another 5 years.
Posted 28 January 2015 - 03:55 PM
I barely got through watching it once, and never watched it again after that.
You people make me SICK.
Posted 28 January 2015 - 04:02 PM
Been thinking about this...
Official tally:
1 time on release day.
4 times the next day (Friday).
1 time in Virginia at Cinemall.
1 time with a kid from Nightly.net (y'all remember that place?) who went by the handle Anakin Skywalker. Seriously, he was 14, and I was 21 at the time. His mom had to meet me and everything to make sure I wasn't some To Catch A Predator reject.
1 time with my dad.
Final time was about 6 weeks later when it was dropped to 2 shows per week, and was likely going out of theatres soon.
First showing of 3D re-release (midnight) in Feb 2012.
Last showing of 3D re-release 3 weeks later. With Fandango I knew it was going off the screen the next day.
There's NOTHING in this world like the community of Star Wars fans. I took my 5 y/o to see Big Hero 6 when that trailer came out, and the theater was 90% full, and they were all geeks like me, because it was the first show of the day. About half of them left after the trailer. They spent $8 to watch a 90 second teaser.
Posted 28 January 2015 - 05:30 PM
Man, they missed out. I liked Big Hero 6.

Man, they missed out. I liked Big Hero 6.
Big Hero 6 was great. One of my favorite movies of last year, and also one of the most technically impressive animated movies I've seen. Can't wait to own that on Bluray.
