When you need to crank up your telescope's magnifying power, do it with a premium-quality Orion HighLight Barlow. You'll get power to burn, plus other optical benefits that make them a must-have accessory for your observing arsenal.
This 1.25in. 3x Orion HighLight 5-Element Barlow Lens provides 3x amplification — more than the 2x amplification factor of standard Barlows. It's ideal for lunar and planetary observation, and for planetary imaging in combination with a solar system camera or webcam. It's also great for extending the effective focal length of short-tube telescopes, to give them more magnifying power. This 1.25" 3x Orion Highlight 5-Element Barlow Lens triples the power of any eyepiece it is used with. Using a HighLight Barlow in combination with long focal-length telescope eyepieces to achieve high magnification offers the benefits of better edge sharpness and eye relief than you'd get using shorter focal-length telescope eyepieces without the Barlow.
Orion HighLight Barlows employ a sophisticated 5-element lens configuration engineered to render optically flatter, sharper images than standard Barlows can render. The lenses are fully multi-coated to ensure high light throughput, and their edges blackened for improved contrast. The machined aluminum, anodized barrels are also blackened inside and glare threaded to prevent internal reflections. A non-marring compression ring secures the eyepiece in place. Slotted barrels prevent accidental slip-outs, and dual rubber grip bands on the housing ensure easy handling. HighLight Barlows require no additional inward or outward focus travel.
For a serious power pop with uncompromising performance, get a premium Orion HighLight Barlow. Then get ready to say "Whoa!"

Binocular lenses and prisms are often coated with anti-reflective material to minimize light loss as light travels through the multiple optical surfaces of a typical binocular. Coatings help maximize the amount of light transmitted through each glass surface of a binocular, so as much light as possible reaches the observer's eyes to provide a bright and sharp image.
Good lenses are at least "fully coated," with a single layer of magnesium fluoride coating applied to each air-to-glass lens surface. Multiple layers of coatings are even more effective; the term "multi-coated" means one or more air-to-glass lens surface has multiple coatings. "Fully multi-coated" optics are even better, meaning all lens surfaces have multiple layers of anti-reflective coatings applied for maximum light transmission and optimal image quality.

SUDBURY - A contest for the lone selectmen seat on this year�s ballot is shaping up as Planning Board member Patricia Brown announced she will challenge longtime selectman John Drobinski.
Elected to the Planning Board in 2012, Brown filed her intention to run for the only selectmen seat up for election this year on Friday, joining Drobinski in the race, said Assistant Town Clerk Veronica Craven.
Brown, whose term on the Planning Board expires in 2015, could not be reached for comment Tuesday afternoon.
Along with the two-way race for one selectmen seat, a four-way race for two seats on the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional District School Committee has also formed, said Craven.
Sudbury residents Elena Kleifges, who was elected to the committee in 2011, and newcomers Michael Walsh and Sofya Gruman-Reznik have each announced their intentions to run, while Patricia Mostue, who represents Lincoln on the regional committee, also announced her intention to run for re-election by pulling nomination papers earlier this month, said Craven.
A three-way race for two seats on the regional School Committee is also slated to be on this year�s ballot, as Lisa Kouchakdjian will challenge incumbents Richard Robison and Ellen Winer Joachim. Each of the candidates have announced their intentions to run with the Town Clerk�s office, said Craven.

Alex -
It is possible to have a date format "dd.mm.yyyy" e.g. "31.01.1970″ ?
Thanks for this
Does this locker works with Microsoft Exchange device locking policies?
Is there any way to use this locker for Exchange device lock?Thanks
Please put "swipe to answer" for phone calls in the next version
please add 24 hours for nexus – i saw the 24 hours on many screens in the market – but on my device its only 12 hours. Thx – Your products are great.
dear in my SGII, when the assets go locker set up the pattern usually put the phone is being unlocked with a simple tap on the phone's home button, the physical button is probably a mistake.
I can finish the locker holding the back button
Littel bug – at least on desire hd and cm7: after comming back from plane mode the pin input screen is not showing up. therefore unable to unlock the sim anymore – restart needed. would be also nice to have an option to make the patternlock screen do not appear directly after a manual lock and unlock again. make it delayable like in cm7 and many other roms.
you must change date format in settings of your phone and restart go launcher for 24h
sometimes if i unlock my phone the homescreen is flashing two or three times – not really a problem but not nice *g*
Is there any way to to get an individual sound file (selectable) for unlock und lock.
please make this lockscreen available for galaxy mini. thanks!
New version is awesome. I love the new alarm it even works with my third party alarm app! Please add option to have additional shortcuts on there ICS theme and other themes also have customizable shortcuts! Also it would be great to see music controls on Go Locker!
One last thing I would say implement a way to disable stock lock screen forcefully look at the "no lock" app because that seems to work really well to disable the stock lock screen!
Thanks Go Dev Team keep up the good work!
On my huawei ideos u8150 when iam pressing red button, device automatically unlocked! please fix this!!!!! -
@Dev at times go keyboard comes up over the lock screen when phone locks and the keyboard is still open please fix!

http://themesforgo.blogspot.com/2011/11/go-sms-widget-theme-maker.html -
GoSMS popup window unlock phone with GoLocker (pattern).
Incoming call unlock the phone with Go Locker
Samsung fascinate still brings up stock lock screen. Have to unlock twice. Anyone else with this?
[GO Locker] if keyboard is shown when screen is locked, image of keyboard shows up on the locked screen. above the wallpaper, but below the unlock controls
icecream theme doesn't show any notifications on locker screen
I'm reading reviewers posts noting that ads are showing up on their handset's notification bar. Well, it just now happened to me as well. I definitely loved the use and feel of the launcher but not to this extent. Uninstall.
I also have the problem that the keyboard doesn't close when the screen locks please fix this thanks!
On Samsung Galaxy S2:
- single Home button press unlock the device
- double Home button press unlock the device
- double lock screens (native lock + Go locker)
- keyboard doesn't close when screen locks and can be seen in background of the lock screen
- take 2 to 3 second to show sometimeI love Go apps, and I use all of them, but Go Locker.
A lot of major issues need to be fixed before it can be usable. -
… and I forgot SMS being displayed while screen is locked. Not very secure.
Fix all those issues, and we'll have a killer app, like all other Go products! -
Is there a way to change the default app for the messaging icon on the locker screen? I use the GO SMS app – but the GO launcher icon takes me to the default HTC Sense messaging app.
App drawer – when creating folders, they are not showing up – even empty ones. When creating a folder in the app drawer, then selecting the apps to go in it, then clicking 'finish', the selected apps disappear from the app drawer, but the folder isn't showing anywhere. I'm also seeing a duplicate icon (which could be related to creating the folder) and also seeing a 'gap' in the app draw (i.e loke a 'hole' where an app icon used to be) – this seems to be where one of the app icons was before I tried to put it into a folder. Once these icons have gone into their invisible folder, I can;t get them back without resetting Go Launcher to it's default and starting again. (Desire S, GL v2.67)
GO Locker Ice-cream Sandwich theme is very cool.Thank you so much.
needs landscape please and able to pull down notification list from top please please please lol
top job other than that!
working nicely on my wildfire, could be bit smoother…
biggest issue is the battery use. normally my phone will remain fully charged over night, but with go locker enabled my battery level drops 20%!
would love to use but it currently using an insane amount of charge.
installed, but not enabled.
Super GoLocker .. but my problem on GS1, sometimes the locker official is present at the same time as Golocker. Therefore forced to 2x unlocker. Is it can be remedied this? -
I love the locker! My issue is that for opening messages, it automatically opens my stock message app (which I no longer use now that I have GO's). How can I get it to open the GO SMS Message app instead??
Still the same problem. Phone can be unlocked by double press the Home key without input of PIN on Samsung Galaxy S2, please fix this. thx
Hi, Dev Team in the last theme ICS Theme do not are the shortcuts for the calls and message and is much much much more convenient with the shortcuts for calls and message, please update the theme and add the 2 shortcuts and add a option in the nex update of golocker for show/hide the shortcuts thanks
Things needed to make Go Lockwe perfect:
1. Integrated an option to disable stock lock screen.
2. Ads options for Custom shortcuts, music controls, and maybe even widgets.
3. Add option to allow pulling down the notification bar while the screen is locked.
4. Display text messages and other notifications directly on lock screen.
5. Release Theme template.
6. Add options for what It's displayed on the screen ie. charging status, notificationa, and alarm times. -
since this version, i can't upgrade my galaxy tab p-1000, it say that the device is not supported… until version 1.04 i had no problem. thanks
Updated Go-launcher on my Samsung Galaxy SII. I have enabled go-locker with PIN security. Now in locking state, If I press HOME key, it does not ask the PIN number and directly displays Home screen.
It is a very serious security issue.
Samsing Galaxy S2: Just pressing HOME button again to unlock is a real SERIOUS BUG!
And it correlates with the problem, that when I wake up the phone without unlocking it, it takes really long to sleep again. I assume it uses the default timeout of the phone. This should be just a few seconds, perhaps 3 to 5! It drains battery a lot this way!
So if I accidentially press HOME while phone is in my pocket, it switches on. And when I accidentially press HOME then again within (in my case) 2 minutes (!) the phone will be unlocked in my pocket!
Pressing the big button in SGII on the first screen voids the security lock
Locker is near perfect, although widget and button customize support would be great.
Who uses CM7 rom can permanently disable stock lockscreen from CM options.
My email sync is not working on IMAP or pop3 its a gmail account but the domain is @chessemporium.com whenever I sumbit the one keeps saying invalid username or password I triple checked and I know for sure I had the right username/password.
Love everything about GO launcher, discovered it today and I feel like I have a brand new phone.
can you plz solve the issue with home key button
whenvr i press the button lockscreen diappears
plz solve this issue
thanks -
guys why after i restart my phone, the ics theme returned to stock theme?
I have a few of the same issues as others on here. Using the Droid Razr, stock, unrooted atm.
Sometimes I get a double locked screen, native lock first then the Go locker
I the keyboard is shown when the phone is locked, it doesn't close and can be seen in background of the lock screen, above the background, but below the Go Locker.Would love to find a way to fix this, or an update to correct it. It is annoying.
As for other features, I would love to be able to add different shortcuts to my ICS style locker, and a pull down of the notifications window while the phone is locked would be nice.
I run with an Atrix and use the biometrics unlock feature. It is a law enforcement work phone and they require the biometrics. Is it possible to add that feature to Go Locker to unlock the phone instead of the pattern or pin? This is phone is set up to use the biometrics and it would be so much easier for me. Thanks for an awesome product.
Loving the app(s)! Just a few points:
- please add the option to turn the screen off when not unlocked after a few seconds (saves battery when accidentally touched in your pocket, just like the stock lockscreen)
- make sure popups of apps (like go sms) dont present themselves on the forground when locked. (makes sure you dont accidentally do crap when in your pocket) -
Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 with Android 2.3. There is a bug with Go Locker. When phone is locked you can unlock it by pressing the home key twice, even if it is configured with security lock option with a PIN number. I'm using the "Four Key" theme
Something is draining my battery really fast. Turned off Go Weather, and it improved significantly, but I still was down to 10% after less than 5 hours. With a more moderate use, I think, it will survive an additional hour or two above that. Disabling Go Locker today and will see how it will behave tomorrow.
forgotten the new pattern I just changed it to…how can I open phone up?
New Go Locker themes aren't working for me. I tried ICS and the new Christmas one and they both just go to the default theme
Nexus S
Cynagonmod 7.03 (Android 2.3.5)

Stepping out for an exciting evening, some of the hottest musicians and singers in the land converged on Las Vegas for the 2015 Billboard Music Awards last night (May 17).
Taylor Swift introduced her new music video for "Bad Blood," while also walking away with a whopping 8 trophies.
Her live shows are legendary and last night (May 12) Jennifer Lopez announced she's signed a deal for a residency at the AXIS Theater at Planet Hollywood in Sin City.
Slated to kick off on January 20th, 2016, the exciting run will be comprised of 20 shows spread across January, February, May and June, and tickets will go on sale on May 16th.
Taking time away from her busy schedule, Jennifer Lopez showed up at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City for the 2015 Met Gala on Monday night (May 4).
As she stepped onto the red carpet, the "On The Floor" songstress was all smiles, posing for photos and waving to fans before scurrying inside.
She's arguably the hottest Latina singer of her generation, but Jennifer Lopez gave credit where credit was due during the 2015 Billboard Latin Music Awards in Miami, Florida on Thursday night (April 30).
The "Waiting For Tonight" songstress took the stage to perform an amazing tribute to the late, great Selena Quintanilla-Perez, who was murdered back in 1995.
Following their holiday in Mexico, Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart jetted off to Las Vegas where they had a blast at Hakkasan Las Vegas Restaurant and Nightclub at the MGM Grand on Friday night (April 10).
According to eyewitnesses, the "On The Floor" songstress and her ex-boyfriend looked pretty cozy at their table in the Private Dining Room as they wined and dined on top shelf libations and gourmet fare.
The tabloids love to speculate regarding Jennifer Lopez's relationship status, but it turns out all the claims of a reunion with Casper Smart are entirely false.
When E! News decided to "set the record straight" about an ongoing romance between J. Lo and her ex-boyfriend, "Waiting for Tonight" songstress declared, "I'm single right now."
Taking some time for family fun, Jennifer Lopez brought her twin kiddos Max and Emme to the Los Angeles premiere of her new animated flick "Home" on Sunday (March 22).
Last night (March 19) she debuted her new single "Feel The Light" on "American Idol" and earlier today Jennifer Lopez premiered the accompanying music video.

Carlsbad Cancer Questions Continue
Thursday, July 1, 2010
Aired 7/1/10
State health officials say they can find no evidence of a cancer cluster in Carlsbad. But some community residents are not satisfied with the results. They are pushing for tests of the soil at one local elementary school.
MAUREEN CAVANAUGH (Host): I'm Maureen Cavanaugh. You're listening to These Days on KPBS. A report issued by state health officials this week should have come as good news to the residents of Carlsbad. The California Cancer Registry found no elevated risk of cancer in the community. But the report has not satisfied activists and concerned parents in Carlsbad who say they still believe there could be a cancer cluster in the area. Despite the state findings, they are pushing for soil testing at a Carlsbad elementary school where several teachers and former students have been diagnosed with cancer. I'd like to welcome my guests. KPBS investigative reporter Amita Sharma. Good morning, Amita.
AMITA SHARMA (KPBS Investigative Reporter): Good morning, Maureen.
CAVANAUGH: And Dr. Philip Ziring is professor of Clinical Pediatrics at UC San Francisco. Dr. Ziring, good morning.
DR. PHILIP ZIRING (Professor of Clinical Pediatrics, University of California San Francisco): Good morning to you.
CAVANAUGH: Amita, you've been following this story for several weeks now. How did it begin?
SHARMA: Well, I believe it started at funerals. A number of people had died from cancer within the Kelly Elementary School area. People started talking to one another about what was happening and how many funerals they were attending and how many people they knew who were getting sick. And then they started questioning whether there was a pattern or some sort of environmental cause for the illnesses. At Kelly Elementary School, community members say at least 18 children, possibly 19 students, who once attended the school have developed cancer over the last decade. Four of them have died. Nine teachers, they say, have developed cancer. There have also been reports of infertility problems. Several teachers at the school have asked the district to conduct soil, air and water testing. The district had refused thus far because they said that they were waiting to hear the results from the California Department of Public Health on whether there was an unusual pattern of cancers in the Carlsbad area. And this week the agency said that there was no cluster in Carlsbad.
CAVANAUGH: Now, they seem to be concentrating, the people who are concerned about this, on the soil at Kelly Elementary. Why is that?
SHARMA: Well, Carlsbad was once a farming town and during that period, there were lots of pesticides that were used in the soil that are now banned. Arsenic was used, DDT was used. The school district, because of the laws, the change in the laws, they have to test, they have to do these environmental tests on any schools built after 1999 or any areas, any school sites, where they're doing expanded construction. And so in two of the sites, at two of the sites where they have tested, they did find pesticides at levels high enough to warrant cleanup. They also, at a third site, found methane gas. So the belief is that poss – and these schools are near the Kelly Elementary School where they found the pesticides. So it's the belief of the community that the soil, air and water should be tested at Kelly to see if the same situation exists there. Kelly Elementary School was built in 1979 so it was not subject to the same environmental rules.
CAVANAUGH: There – In your story this morning, Amita, you documented a very strange aspect of this story, the lengths that some people are willing to go to try to get soil samples from this elementary school.
SHARMA: That's right. Just last week word spread that dump trucks were taking soil out of Kelly Elementary School. A group of citizens in four separate cars followed one truck with soil but they believe that the truck driver was aware he was being followed and then just turned around and went back to the school so the folks never got the soil sample that they sought to have independently tested. It should be said that Congressman Brian Bilbray as well as San Diego County Supervisor Bill Horn have called on the school district to test. A Bilbray representative told me that it's important to do at the very least to put the community members' concerns at ease.
CAVANAUGH: Now even though the California Cancer Registry has not found evidence of a cancer cluster in Carlsbad, will any further investigation go on? I believe that you spoke with a man named Ken August.
SHARMA: Right. Well, community members have asked the state to look at the Kelly Elementary School specifically, not just the surrounding community because when they looked at the surrounding community, they found that they could only confirm half of the 323 cases that residents have reported of cancer to the Registry. So now they're saying, look, you need to look at the school where the actual cancer cases were reported. And, as you said, I spoke to Ken August, and here's more of what he said.
KEN AUGUST (California Department of Public Health): You know, the process is what drives us. When we find out more about those 18 cases, if they're all in the Registry, if we have every case, that will help dictate what the next step would be, whether it's to launch a 9-month study or whether it's to do something else that's going to be more in – more of what the county – or the community wants.
CAVANAUGH: You know, we invited Ken August of the California Department of Public Health to be on our program today. He declined to be here, as did the San Diego County health officials and representatives from the CDC, so very few people actually seem to want to talk about this. I believe that you spoke, Amita, to the principal of Kelly Elementary. What does he have to say about this soil testing?
SHARMA: Actually, I spoke to the superintendent…
CAVANAUGH: Sorry.
SHARMA: …in the Carlsbad School District. And he says that he's going to make a recommendation to the school board later this month that they actually allow environmental testing at Kelly Elementary School. I asked him where he stood personally on the issue. He said it's not really appropriate for him to express that opinion but he added that he would like people within the community to get a sense of peace, a sense of closure on this issue and that he wants to have – he wants the community to believe that the district is doing the best for their children.
CAVANAUGH: I want to reintroduce my second guest, Dr. Philip Ziring, a professor of Clinical Pediatris – Pediatrics, that is, at UC San Francisco. And, Dr. Ziring, I know that you've been critical of the way the Cancer Registry focuses primarily on the rate of incidence of cancer in the community. What do you think they should focus on to determine if there's any kind of a cluster or a higher-than-normal incidence of cancer?
DR. ZIRING: Well, it's been the view of a number of concerned citizens, not just myself, that the focus needs to be on the Kelly School. That's where the community's concerns are. And each time, you know, we've had two of these large community forum meetings, the most recent one just a couple of days ago, each time we have attended the forum, we thought that the state and the county health departments were going to talk to us about how they would proceed to investigate the conditions at Kelly so that the community could be reassured. Each time, the reports we got were more of a blanket review of the incidents of various kinds of cancer in several census tracts within the City of Carlsbad and so they spent a lot of time at the meetings talking about the incidence of prostate cancer, various cancers of other individuals, specific cancers, but when it came to a review of the specific numbers of children at the Kelly School who appear to have become victims of cancer over the last 10 years, that was not addressed at all. And so the community's feeling increasingly frustrated that they're either – some of their elected officials in the terms of the school board, their appointed officials in terms of the administration at the Carlsbad Unified School District, are just not listening adequately to what their concerns are and proceeding to do a more thorough investigation. The facts seem to be that there are 18 and possibly, as of yesterday we heard of one more child, who has acquired cancer in association with participation in activities at the Kelly School. 19 children affiliated with that school, which is a relatively small elementary school. Over the past decade, there probably has been fewer than 1000 children who've graduated from that school.
CAVANAUGH: Now, Dr. Ziring, epidemiologists who investigate suspected cancer clusters often say people just don't realize how many people and children actually develop cancer and that most, if not the overwhelming majority, of suspected cancer clusters are coincidence.
DR. ZIRING: That's correct. And I think the discussion about whether there is a so-called cluster or not at the Carlsbad elementary school, at Kelly, is really a diversion of our attention to what the true issues need to be looked at. We are very concerned that if the true incidence—and this is published data by the National Cancer Institute—the true incidence of all cancers, pediatric cancers in children up to approximately age 17 or 18, is only one or two cases for every 10,000 children. We have fewer than 1,000 kids who've graduated from Kelly and we're already up to 19 children with cancer. By any standard, that should at least surprise some people and say that there seems to be something going on there that requires further investigation.
CAVANAUGH: Another hallmark of a cancer cluster or a higher incidence of cancer developing is, I believe, the people who contract and develop the cancer, it's the same type of cancer. Is that the situation that you – that we have at Kelly Elementary?
DR. ZIRING: There are a number of unusual kinds of cancers that have developed there. The most recent child has been identified has thyroid cancer. That's not a common disease among children. We have at least 3 individuals, young women, who have been diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma in the Kelly neighborhood. The incidence of leiomyosarcoma is 3 or 4 per million. When you have unusual circumstances like that, people need to take notice of it and do the right thing for the community and use the tools they have to test the soil, for instance, or the water or the air or whatever the Environmental Protection Agency feels is warranted so that the community can be satisfied that everything that should've been done was actually carried out. And the whole discussion about whether there's a cluster or not, and an argument of what clusters consist of, is really a diversion of our attention to what we really need to do.
CAVANAUGH: I wonder, Amita, as you've been speaking with the concerned citizens in Carlsbad, what do they suspect could possibly be in the soil that might be causing cancer at this elementary school?
SHARMA: They don't know but they think because Carlsbad was once a farming town and pesticides, very powerful pesticides, were used, that possibly there's a link there. You know, there's also been discussion that perhaps emissions from the Encina Power Plant might be playing a role or that power lines, electromagnetic radiation from power lines, might be emitting something. It's just not clear. And that's why they want the testing done. You know, money is a factor in this. When I spoke to Carlsbad Superintendent John Roach, he said, look, if you test one school site, it costs $60,000. If you find something, if indeed there is a problem, cleanup can cost anywhere from $1 to $2 million. So you have 8 schools within the school district that have not yet been tested. $60,000 plus possibly $1 to $2 million more to clean up, John Roach says as unfortunate as it sounds, this is going to be a factor that the school board will have to consider in making its decision on whether or not to test.
CAVANAUGH: Dr. Ziring, the things that we're talking about here, things that may possibly be in the soil or some emission from a power plant or something that may be in the air, I would imagine to a scientist this all sounds very amorphous and it sounds as if it's very difficult to test for. What kinds of tests should be going on in Carlsbad, do you think? And do these sorts – this kind of epidemiological testing, does it even exist?
DR. ZIRING: It certainly does exist. We know that there are many environmental contaminants that can lead to cancer. Arsenic is one of them. In the right dose, for the right duration of exposure, in the right kind of host who may be genetically susceptible – and, remember, we're talking about very young school children. And, in particular, at the Kelly Elementary School, remember that we have a very wonderful program of school gardens. And so the children at Kelly, young, 6-, 7-year old children, are in there digging in the soil, planting vegetables, and then eating the vegetables that come out of that soil. You know, how young kids put their hands in their mouths and they're often contaminated with some of the dirt they've been in, I think that might consist of an exposure that's unusual that you wouldn't see in older people. So we have to factor in the behavior of young children and other aspects than just simply looking at census tracts and incidences of prostate cancer in Carlsbad.
CAVANAUGH: I want to thank you. We are out of time right now. What comes next, though, Amita, in this story?
SHARMA: Well, there's a school board meeting scheduled for July 28th, I believe, but they might actually move it up a little bit, and that's when the school board will decide whether or not to initiate testing.
CAVANAUGH: I want to thank you so much, KPBS investigative reporter Amita Sharma. Dr. Philip Ziring, who is professor of Clinical Pediatrics at UC San Francisco, thank you so much for coming in and speaking with us.
SHARMA: Thank you, Maureen.
DR. ZIRING: Thank you.

Certainly with the numbers of children who have become ill, soil, air, and water testing is the prudent thing to do. If the school were built after 1999, soil testing would automatically be required, according to the EPA. Hopefully these tests are conducted soon, and hopefully they all come back free of contaminants. Perhaps the illnesses are coincidence. But perhaps they are not. I am one who feels we should err on the side of caution when it comes to the lives of children. To be clear, the meeting on Monday did nothing to rule out a potential problem at a specific school. The California Cancer Registry is not specific enough, nor was it ever designed to, rule out such issues. The only way to know for sure is to test. Many of the teachers at the school site requested this testing months ago. Unfortunately some may be afraid to speak candidly about the matter due to fear of retribution.

I do not understand Dr. Ziring's focus on the school garden. If he talked to the volunteer parents, he would learn the kids spend very little time in the school garden throughout the year (especially compared to their daily recess in the playground/dirt fields). Also, the dirt in the organic raised bed gardens are from outside sources (ie Home Depot, etc.). The kids also bring maybe 1-2 vegetables home a year if any at all. He doesn't question the dirt where the fruits and vegetables we eat everyday come from. They are likely from land farmed for decades and exposed to the same pesticides that were used 30-40 years ago (what soil are organic products or strawberries grown on?). The farms likely used pesticides over the last 30 years as well.
I also don't understand why he claims the analysis of census tracts did not address the cancer concerns at Kelly. The CCR broke down the data by census tracts or neighborhoods around Kelly. If there was a cancer cluster, why would it not show up in the neighborhoods around Kelly?
If you compare the data from the CCR and the data gathered by the concerned parents, there is no doubt the CCR data is more comprehensive and verifiable. Only half the cases gathered by the concerned parents were verified. We need to verify the 18 childhood cases associated with Kelly. I think the CCR is doing that.
Without a verifiable cancer cluster, any contaminant found at Kelly cannot be linked to an increase in cancer. However, as a parent, I think Kelly should be tested if the parents pay for it. I think there would not be such outcry and press if the school administrators listened to the parents in the first place.

August 4, 2011
A marketing and feasibility study on the potential of the County Road 1 industrial park gave the city of Tonganoxie and Leavenworth County ample reason to get the 237-acre site south of the city developed.
The $39,395 study, paid for by the Leavenworth County Port Authority with a $9,849 contribution from the city, estimated the park in its first 15 years would return $9.28 million in revenue to the city from land sales, excise taxes and property taxes. It estimated the park would produce another $9.4 million in revenue over that period for USD 464 and $5.27 million for the county.
"You need to get that park shovel-ready as soon as possible" Mark Waterhouse of Garnet Consulting, the study's author, said July 26 at a special Tonganoxie City Council meeting. "The biggest thing you need to do here is make it real."
The study further estimated that after 15 years, 3,067 employees would be working at the park, creating an additional 2,150 indirect jobs.
With those benefits, which Waterhouse emphasized were based on conservative formulas, he encouraged the city to work with Leavenworth County, Leavenworth County Port Authority and other possible partners to get thepark developed.
That was the next step, Tonganoxie Mayor Jason Ward said, adding the study was important in validating assumptions about the park's potential.
"I think we needed that kind of study to have a comfort level with moving forward with developing the park," he said. "It was necessary to have that type of information before making decisions on budget priorities.
"It's encouraging there is the potential for a $9 million return to the city by a conservative estimate."
Job creation at the park was important because that could attract new residents to Tonganoxie without relying on growth to the east or west or fuel price stability.
Ward agreed the city needed partners to develop the park and noted the study gave the county and port authority reason to join with the city in extending infrastructure to the site, which the engineering firm TransSytems estimated in a 2009 study to cost $14 million.
"It's pretty clear just one entity — the city, county, port authority, even a private developer — would have a really difficult time developing the park," he said. "If the council wants to move forward on this, we have to find a partner."
Waterhouse said a developed Tonganoxie park would offer commercial lot sizes within the 65 to 100 acres that firms looking at the county have wanted. The inability to fit prospects in that "sweet spot" was costing the county jobs and an expanded tax base, he said.
Waterhouse said the study assumed the current mill levy and valuation rates. He did not include land donations or tax abatement — two incentives offered firms that have looked at the site. But he said it also didn't include revenue sources such as utility sales and franchise taxes the city would realize.
Among the marketing and implementation suggestions Waterhouse shared was that the city and its partners should:
• Getting "certified-site" status for the park immediately once it is developed so that potential tenants would know its shovel ready.
• Consider recruiting a satellite community college campus or vo-tech school to the park, perhaps as the first tenant. That has been done at other sites he has worked with and vo-tech schools can be very attractive to firms looking for skilled employees.
• Create a park association, similar to the subdivision's neighborhood association, which would eventually manage the park.
• Consider getting the park designated as a foreign trade zone.
In June, the city council agreed to have BG Consultants study the cost of extending the limited infrastructure to the park needed to get one lot ready for development. The study is to be completed in late August with preliminary results available in two to three weeks.
Waterhouse said there was merit to the approach and he had seen it used successfully elsewhere.
The study's strong encouragement to move ahead with the Tonganoxie site was in contrast to the mixed recommendation for a proposed park with a railroad connection near Leavenworth's Abeles Field. It had potential, the study found, but advised against building a proposed rail spur to the site because there would not be enough demand to cover the expense.

Whiteout arrived in theaters back in September where it was greeted with a resounding silence. Its opening weekend saw it land in seventh place and that would be the only time it would appear in the top ten at the box office as it took a rather precipitous tumble down the charts. Not only was it a popular dud, it did not fare too well with the critical set, mustering a mere 7% on the Tomatometer. To think, when I saw it I enjoyed it. Honestly. I did not think it was anything particularly special but I did enjoy the setting and thought it was an effective thriller that didn't rely on big effects and the typical trappings of other graphic novel adaptations.
Based on the graphic novel of the same name by Greg Rucka and Steve Lieber, Whiteout is not a superhero story like Watchmen or a new take on a genre like 30 Days of Night. No, it has smaller aspirations. Instead of drawing the impossible, it took the possible and put it into the drawing. Now, the the story has been taken back from the black and white pages and put on screen in the form of an unassuming thriller whose success lives and dies with the setting. If this were set in, say, the American Southwest it would just be another thriller. Move it to the South Pole and you give it a little more bite. It is still as familiar as ever, but it's just a bit colder.
Now, I mentioned that I liked it the first time I saw it and I am not lying. Although I did realize that I was likely to be very lonely out on the frozen tundra inhabited by those who liked it. I didn't care, why should I go along with the crowd? Should I betray my integrity and not say I liked it when I did? Without my ability to write how I feel, what use am I? Wait, don't answer that.
Whiteout has now arrived on Blu-ray and upon multiple viewings, I have found it to be a rather dull affair. I do not think it is terrible by any stretch, and there are still things that I like about it. The problem is that it just feels flat, like the cold has drained the life out of it. Where the cold, white desolation worked on the big screen in the theater, it just looked plain and dull on the small screen. In the theater the vast white on the screen, the darkness of the room, and the air conditioning all added to the cold thrills of the story. I felt like I was right there with them. At home the illusion was broken and it was just me and the movie, no other factors there to help out.
The movie centers on a South Pole science station where US Marshal Carrie Stetko (Kate Beckinsale) is assigned. Her time is about up as the base is planning to clear out before a bad storm hits. Things are going well until a dead guy is found stuck to the ice. What is thought to be an accidental death is revealed to be a murder. This murder leads to a conspiracy on the base with a killer on the loose. It is up to Carrie to track down the truth before it is too late. As if that wasn't enough, Carrie went to this base to escape her past, which seems to be repeating itself again.
Audio/Video. I have to say that while the film has some moments of impressive visuals, the 2.4:1 widescreen image does not look as good as I would have liked it to. Actually, it is one of the more inconsistent Blu-rays I have seen. The sweeping shots of the cold white landscape look pretty good, but as soon as you start getting in on the characters, fine detail seems to go away. It surely is better than DVD, but I expect more. I was a little surprised by how dull everything looked, as if the life were drained right out. The blacks are deep but detail gets lost and close-ups don't look particularly good. I guess it is all right, but not what it could have been.
The audio, on the other hand, is quite good. The dialog is front and center and John Frizzell's score has a nice presence. Where the Dolby TruHD 5.1 track shines is when they are outside in the storm. It truly sounds like there is wind and snow blowing around you as the effect moves around all of the channels.
Extras. This release is a little light on the extras.
- The Coldest Thriller Ever. This takes you behind the scenes as the production battles the elements. It may not be a terribly great film, but I have to respect them for battling those frigid elements!
- Whiteout: From Page to Screen. This takes a look at the development of the original graphic novel and the adaptation to the screen.
- Deleted Scenes. Nothing special here, they would have just slowed the film down.
- Digital Copy. For use on portable devices.
Bottom line. I guess it could have been worse, I could not have liked it at all. While a general dullness has been revealed in multiple viewings I still have a little affection for the general simplicity and straightforward manner with which it approaches the material. There is something refreshing about that. With that said, there is no reason to own it.

salman sexiest man News
Is Shahrukh Khan the best role model and Salman Khan the sexiest man?
That's what young India reveals in a survey conducted across the country
Even though young actors like Shahid Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan are inching closer day-by-day to top-star status, they are far away from the level of accomplishment and popularity attained by the 40-plus superstars. Recently, the Hindustan Times conducted a youth survey in which most participants voted Salman Khan in as the Sexiest Man Alive, followed by the young and sophisticated politician Rahul Gandhi and B-town's Greek god Hrithik Roshan. It's no surprise that Salman made it to the top of the pack, 'coz not only does possess the fittest body in B-town, but he is single, has a care-two-hoots attitude and is deeply involved in charity work. Isn't that a sure-shot recipe for popularity? Click here to read more -

Joaquín Nin
Joaquín Nin y Castellanos (September 29, 1879, Havana – October 24, 1949,[1] Havana) was a Cuban pianist and composer.
Nin studied piano with Moritz Moszkowski and composition at the Schola Cantorum (where he taught from 1906 to 1908). He toured as a pianist and was known as a composer and arranger of popular Spanish folk music. Nin was a member of the Spanish Academy and the French Legion of Honor.[2]
He was the father of Thorvald Nin, composer Joaquín Nin-Culmell, and writer Anaïs Nin with singer Rosa Culmell.
Joaquín Nin appears as one of the characters in the novel The Island of Eternal Love (Riverhead, 2008), by Cuban writer Daína Chaviano.
In her diaries and fiction, his psychoanalytically oriented writer daughter Anaïs Nin often attempts to explain her own personality and problems by recalling how her father treated her as a child. She was also close to him off and on as an adult. Her "unexpurgated" diary volume Incest: From a Journal of Love describes an adult incestuous relationship with him. He also appears in her fiction. She describes him as an egotistical Don Juan, and she imitated him at times by being a "Doña Juana".

Vote: Who was the best second-round pick in Patriots history? |
04.13.11 at 2:22 pm ET |
With the NFL draft on the horizon, we're going to look back at the Patriots' best draft picks by round. We've already put the eighth through the third rounders in the spotlight. Now, we've got the best of the second round, an intriguing list of four players who have nine Pro Bowl berths and one spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame among them, and all of whom had lengthy careers with the Patriots. Vote for your favorite:
Kevin Faulk: 1999: 46th overall. The running back hasn't always put up the biggest numbers, but his durability (he's the only current player on the roster who predates Bill Belichick as head coach) and his leadership have been large parts of the Patriots' success over the last 10 years. Taken out of LSU, he's worked as a return man and third-down/changeup back, and remains a valuable option in the passing game. A knee injury early in the 2011 season put his rest of his career in doubt, but Faulk has already put together an impressive resume, one with three Super Bowl rings.
Steve Nelson: 1974, 34th overall. Part of a collection of great linebackers in the 1970s and 80s, Nelson was a three-time Pro Bowler who recorded over 100 tackles nine times during his career and finished with 1,776 tackles, an average of 10.2 per game. For his efforts, the North Dakota State product was inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame in 1993, and had his No. 57 jersey retired.
Andre Tippett: 1982, 41st overall. A resume unmatched by just about anyone in the history of the franchise. A Pro Football Hall of Famer, the Iowa product was one of the best pass-rushers of his era ' he holds the team record with 100 career sacks, including 18.5 in 1984. In his 12 seasons with the Patriots, Tippett tied cornerback Michael Haynes' team record for a defensive player by going to five consecutive Pro Bowls. He was inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame in 1999, and elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2008.
Julius Adams: 1971, 27th overall. This Texas Southern product played 16 seasons for the Patriots, and like Faulk, his numbers weren't always overwhelming. But his durability and consistency made him an invaluable part of many Patriots teams throughout the 1970s and 80s. He led the team in sacks four times (including three straight seasons in the early 1970s). Named to the Patriots' 50th anniversary team, he's second in franchise history in games played (206).
Just missed the cut: Deion Branch (2002, 65th overall); Matt Light (2001, 48th overall); Lawyer Milloy: 1996: 36th overall; Ted Johnson (1995, 57th overall); Garin Veris (1985, 48th overall); Robert Weathers (1982, 40th overall); Bob Golic (1979, 52nd overall); Horace Ivory (1977, 44th overall); Don Hasselbeck (1979, 52nd overall).

The Los Angeles Lakers had not lost a game in 29 days until Sunday's Game 3 loss to the Suns but it had been much longer since they had lost in that way.
Pau Gasol had Espa�a across his chest. Ron Artest was in the Big East. Kobe Bryant's drawstrings could not make his shorts fit his teenage frame.
The Suns brought intrigue to the conference finals by beating the Lakers with nearly three quarters of exclusive 2-3 zone defense. That likely would not be the path for them to send the series back to Los Angeles tied with a Game 4 win tonight at home.
There is a reason NBA teams rarely have used the zone in the nine seasons it has been legal, especially for anything but a quick change of pace. It winds up being picked apart by shooters who are too good to leave alone and by larger teams who can't be boxed out well by it.
But for one night, it was the Suns' antidote after they had given up 58 percent shooting over nine quarters. Would a day of practicing better ball movement and penetration smooth out the Lakers' offense against the Suns' new wrinkle?
"No, we're doomed," Lakers guard Kobe Bryant said.
He was the reason Suns coach Alvin Gentry resorted to a defense he does not like. Gentry felt like Bryant, who he calls "the best player that ever played the game," was well-defended by Grant Hill, who was left more to himself. Bryant still had a 15-point, four-assist quarter. The Suns' second unit, with four strong shooters, made the zone defense look awful in practice, giving Gentry pause about using the look his lead assistant, Bill Cartwright, wanted to try against the triangle offense. Cartwright knows the triangle well as a former Chicago player for Lakers coach Phil Jackson.
"I stayed up (Saturday night) watching game film (from Game 2) and was like, 'This zone is not going to work. I mean, if our second unit is sitting out there picking us apart . . . Kobe and those guys are going to pick us apart,' " Suns guard Jason Richardson said. "So I was like, 'There's no way we're going to win the game with that zone.' And then we came out and were really aggressive with it, and it actually worked. We shocked ourselves."
It worked enough. The Lakers' 4-for-19 second quarter gave the Suns the lead and 5�1/2 fourth-quarter minutes without a field goal helped put the Lakers away. In between, the Lakers feel like they figured it out for a 37-point third quarter, only to revert to sloppy passes and quick jump shots in the fourth.
"The zone invited us to settle from outside and we never really got the ball to move where we want it to go," said Lakers forward Pau Gasol, who still went 11 for 14 from the field. "It's a mistake that tends to happen when you're facing zone, especially when you're not used to facing zone."
Phoenix's same pre-Game 3 man defense emphases on stopping ball penetration better and denying the post passes that set up the triangle offense will be important again. If the zone is effective again, it will likely be in doses.
"With the level of success they had (Sunday), I don't see why they would ever play man," Bryant said.
Who's baiting who?
What made the zone effective was introducing it with the all-reserve unit, which is more defense-oriented bunch and covers ground with its energetic play. The Suns also survived on the boards, a team deficiency regardless but one that becomes exaggerated in a zone.
"What it does is it gives us confidence," Suns forward Jared Dudley said of the zone defense success. "If we stop them, they're thinking about that so when the starters come back in, they're a little bit more hesitant."
Even when the Lakers had a 37-point third quarter, 18 of the points came on jump shots that the Suns are willing to give.
"If we have to play our 'girlie zone,' as somebody said, we'll play our 'girlie zone,' " Gentry said. "We're going to do whatever we have to do to win."

TERNT -- tim tebow was the quarterback at the university of florida. he graduated there and went to play football in denver for a professional team called the broncos. there's a bit of a controversy in the sporting world as to whether he is overhyped. no one can tell you what you "should" care about.

I'm not in the same church as Tim Tebow, but I find his Christianity easy to take compared to the Prosperity Gospel embraced by other athletes. More to the point, I'd love to play tackle or fullback for a quarterback who leads like Tebow does.
Runners run.

His entire team must want to punch him in the face, as he runs along the sidelines singing hymns and praising the lord every 5 seconds.
He's an unselfish player, works hard, and is helping his teammates win. Why would they want to punch him in the face?
because they envy his dentition.

Techone Mini Yak-54 setup 1s or 2?
Purchased a 2nd hand kit NIB off trademe and am wondering how I should set this up?
for 1 cell - I have a AR6400 brick, 2 x AS2000 linear servos, a TGY DP 3A 1S 1g Brushless ESC (non programmable version) and a lot of hyperion 120mAh and 240mAh batts as well as the batts from my UM sukhoi, UM mustang, mSR and mCX. for 2 cell - I have a AR6300 Rx, 3 x walkera 3.2g digital servos, supplied with kit 7Amp ESC, or turnigy 6Amp ESC, and 1 x 200mAH 2cell, 2 x hyperion 240mAh G3, and 5 x Rhino 360mAh batts I'd like to run it 1 cell but will the AR64000 work on this plane (don't want to buy the AR6400L), will it have enough travel? Will my 1 cell ESC work with the supplied C05 3700kv motor? and will it have enough grunt? If I go 2 cell will the walkera 3.2g servo be too heavy?, most people use the blue arrow 2.5g servos, which cost more than the plane here in NZ. the lighter I build it the more crash resistant it will be and the longer it will last. I quick on paper calculation I did was 29.2g for 1 cell against 50.8g for 2 cell So what should I do - I've already got listed gear and don't want to buy anything else. Brett |
If I were you I would shy away from the short travel AR6400. I know that it will work but with the supplied control arms the travel is WAY too short. I used the AR6300 with 2.5 Bluearrow servo's from Hobbycity. I flew with the 2 cell set up. My HK 2cell 180's work but I've seen this plane fly great with the C05 4040 prop and home made 2 cell 100mah batteries. Very lite but flight times are under 5 minutes with only about 2 if you are hovering the whole time.
AR6400 brick and short throw servos are fine. You need to use different (short) control arms or install them by cutting a slot in the surface and feed them up from underneath to shorten them.
Instead of using the PZ aileron bellcrank, use a small servo arm and a piece of carbon tube as a post, then hook the aileron pushrods in the outer holes of the servo and the rod from the micro servo to one of the inside holes of the servo arm. Or use both servos, one for each aileron. Heavier though and each gram does count on a bird this small. Use as little hot glue as possible for mounting the brick and servo (keep the glue away from the drive gears!) . Use UHU to build it if you can, if you can't just go as light as you possibly can. The trick is to be as close to 1 oz as you can. If you stay with the brushed setup, use the PZ Mustang motor and prop. I found this to give the best performance on mine. I've only found one 1S brushless motor that works well with this setup: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...earbox_GPS-C03 And again, I found the PZ Mustang prop to be the best on this one too. Opinions may vary on the prop. I've built 3 Micro Yaks and 1 Micro Piagette like this and folks really enjoy them. On the 2 cell front, I have not had much success yet. Each motor I've tried has been too heavy, too high KV, ETC ETC. I have a 5 gram 2S motor coming from BSD that is supposed to put out around 72 grams of thrust. If you go 2S on a PZ brick, make sure to get a diode for the positive lead from the ESC or you could burn up the brick. In my experience, even the 2.5 gram servos and an AR6300 make this airframe too heavy compared to the brick. My opinion, but my yak weighs in at 1.2 OZ and floats around indoor locations like a PZ Ember, and is very aerobatic. One of the up sides to using the 2dogrc setup is that you have TONS of power for hover and vertical aerobatics. Just stating what I have experienced so far with this particular airframe. Some may disagree, but it all depends on what your trying to get out of it. Good luck in whatever you choose, Rob |
Here is a link to a good picture of how to setup the ailerons..

I also think the use of receiver AR6400 on this plane no alternative, but it is better to exclusively modify the letter "L" for 3D-flying.
When feeding from single LiPo battery recommend motor- MM 13/3/12T (http://www.bsdmicrorc.com/index.php?productID=840). This engine has a thrust from the propeller GWS 6 x 3 with U = 3,5 V- 68 grams, but with the regulator TMM 0703-3 EXPERT (http://mgm-compro.com/index.php?tid=...-0703-3-expert ). You can try to control YGE 4S (http://www.yge.de/artikel.php?search=yge4s ). Buy it here- http://www.slowflyworld.de/index.php...ucts_id=114248 . But, you should not use the controls XP-3A and XP-7A, because with them thrust falls on 10 - 20 grams! Another highly recommend brushless motors with gearboxes- https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show....php?t=1207768 https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show....php?t=1207845 I can recommend also a very good motor from Gasparin - G15 12W 3.6V Bronco (http://www.gasparin.cz/?show=frames&...hatsnew&lng=en). This engine has a thrust with a propeller GWS 5 x 3 with U = 3,5 V - 92 grams! |

Rob - WOW! 1.2oz on a techone micro and floaty! That sounds very good. We have 2 micro Yaks at our Gilford gym and both are far from perfect. Larrys' is using 3.7 gm servos and the 2.4 mhz Assam rx. He is a good flyer and makes it loop and roll but its a bit fast and not floaty, won't hover. Mine has the motor recommended by bphobbies and the 5x3 prop, 2.5gm servos and I am using the Plantraco 900mhz 4 channel servo rec., t weighs 51 m rtf. I've got it to fly about 10 feet so far as the little plantraco tx even with expo program is not working for me. I need all the features of my computer radio like 9C or DX7. It sounds like the way to go with these is with the smallest Spectrum rx and the long thro servos like from the 4 site. The stuff Vlad sugests is good I would guess but probably much more expensive. These Techone micros are an interesting challenge.
Yeah, the AR6400 has been a great little micro setup for me in a few planes now. Just have to keep the airframe light. I did use the little brushless geared setup and it didn't seem to have much more power than the mustang motor. The new motor/prop from the micro 4-site might be stronger.... I have a new one on the bench for a friend, I'll see if he will put the 4-site motor on it.
I've since put this gear in a 9" span micro pizza box and it was too much power for that span. Next project is a 7" span f-22..... Later guys! Rob |

Exodus 17:8-19:15 God instructed Moses to speak to the children of Israel these words: "Now, therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: And you shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation" (Exod. 19:5-6, KJV).
Similar words were spoken by Paul in his letter in Titus. "Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works" (Titus 2:14, KJV).
Peter also speaks of a peculiar people in 1 Peter 2:9. "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light" (KJV).
The Exodus passage speaks of Israel as a peculiar people. Paul and Peter speak of believers in Jesus Christ (both Jew and Gentile) as peculiar people. The Hebrew word for peculiar is "a jewel, a treasure, good, and proper." The Greek work for peculiar is "being beyond usual, a special purchased possession, and set apart for a purpose."
It never bothers me for people to say I'm a little different or I'm religious. In fact, I have the reputation in my neighborhood as the lady who prays or "the church lady." A neighbor I hardly knew asked me to pray for her husband who needed surgery. As believers we are set apart for a purpose, and God sees us as a precious treasure purchased by Him when Jesus died on the cross for us.
We had the privilege of hosting two missionaries in our guest room. The couple had given up everything to be on the mission field, including a very successful dental practice. This dentist and his wife were available to go wherever the Lord wanted to send them. All they wanted to do while they visited us was to be out witnessing and sharing the gospel with others. The Lord spoke to me one night as I was going to sleep, and only a wall separated the head of their bed from the head of our bed. The Lord said, "You are hosting two of My precious, peculiar people." I didn't understand what that meant then, but I do now.
