Blast of Cold Reality before the Hot Stove Season
Mother Nature has done her best in the last day to remind all of us in Florida that Winter is quickly approaching. It's blustery message was delivered locally by a huge weather trough of icy Artic air that has temperatures in the Tampa Bay region tumbling from the mid 80's to a blustery 50 degree in the last 24 hours . With that blast of colder air comes the oncoming and anticipated hibernation of most of the Tampa Bay Rays non-baseball related staff as the rest of the Rays front office embraces for a hot and humid Hot Stove season. Does it really seem like it has been 5 days since the members of the San Francisco Giants first thrust the MLB Commissioner's Trophy high into the Texas sky and signaled the beginning of a well orchestrated off seasonal dance between Major League Baseball players and the upper management of their respective franchises who can take this 120 hour grace period to entertain or separate themselves from players that once could be considered critical to their team's plans.
Within this ticking of the clock all 30 MLB teams can either play the respective "devil or angel" card by securing their valued players by joyfully acknowledging their acceptance of their players' exclusive club options, or possibly declining the same said options with an eye to a possible salary reduction and welcome back into their team's fold as if nothing happened. It is in this time of the year that the player's agents and representatives can either make or break their clients "bankability" with their clubs, or begin to put feelers out for another opportunity.
It is the time when the gloves come off and the pleasantries can sometimes take a back seat as clubs' begin to weed and filter out veterans or high risk contract players who's declining skills or performance potential doesn't adhere to the club's style of play or forecasted remolding of the franchise. Within this 5 day period more than few gasps and whispers will be heard when players who were considered "untouchable" almost 4 months ago are given their unconditional walking papers or left dangling within the trade winds as pieces that could be acquired for a few pieces of silver now.
Take what has happened recently to Giants Shortstop Edgar Renteria who in the beginning of this 5-day period was preparing for a huge celebration with the fans of San Francisco, but even before he could step upon the float for a celebration parade was non-tendered his option by the same club that saw him hoist the Most Valuable Player award for the World Series. In less than 120 hours Renteria went from the penthouse to the basement with nothing to break his fall from Giants grace.
This 5-day fiasco is where your personality and abilities as a player are defined under a stark microscope along with a dollar sign anointed to your forehead and either you gain the fiscal approval, or you are cast into the darkness with one match and candle. It is where the ugly head of business within the MLB has to rear its hideous face and make decisions that are not welcomed or anticipated by either the fan base or the general public. Where even a team fresh off a whirlwind World Series trip has to define their 2011 goals and payroll within the confines of cold reality and monetary limitations that might exclude a key member of the celebration.
Dan Wheeler was one of the first pitchers in the Rays farm system to ascend through the ranks and get to the Major League level back in 1998. He has a long history of his love and involvement with the team having a chance to come back to the team that gave him his start in 2007. But Wheeler's $ 4million dollar salary is not conducive to the Rays structure of their payroll for 2011 and saw his 2011 club option declined by the Rays. Wheeler will receive a nice $ 1 million consolation prize from the Rays with a hope of extended talks to possibly come to a financial crossroads that can benefit both parties and rejoin the team.
With this chill felt in Florida today, it instantly reminds me of the brief time period between the final out of the 2010 MLB postseason and the sudden approach of the 2010 Free Agent season. A time when MLB member clubs will see the leaves (players) fall from their roster trees as they begin to shed salary and personnel for the long Winter. 120 hours doesn't seem like enough time to fully examine and filter out the pros and cons of a currently MLB player before plucking him off your roster….. possibly forever.
As the chilled wind rustles through the trees outside, Winter is approaching and Spring is still just a daydream away. But within the next 24 hours every front office of the 30 MLB clubs will poise to again spring into action the off season fight for Free Agents and begin the hearty task of creating another possible winner who 51 weeks from now will thrust their own MLB Commissioner's Trophy into the night sky and the process begin all over again.

50 degrees? That's chilly indeed. The Renteria situation is like that of Matsui the year before – both MVPs of the World Series and both shown the door. Baseball is a business once the games are over, and it's never more clear than during this period.
Edgar Renteria is turning into last decade's David Justice. He farts around for half a season, gets dealt/promoted at the deadline, and ends up in the playoffs and usually producing!
I agree that the World Series MVP seems to be cursed the last few years. Hopefully it will not be a three-peat in 2011.
The business oif baseball rears its ugly head during this period of the post season.
Funny how as soon as February comes around people gain a different insight and prospective of the game.

David Justice, there is a name I have not heard in a long time.
Still think his dumbest move was noit leaving the braves, but leaving his sexy wife…(lol)
There has been a long line of those guys who seem to perk their game after the season ends…JUst think Cody Ross or Ian Kinsler in the early rounds of the playoffs this past year.
But that is what I love about the post season, the superstars or ususal suspects take a back seat and let the rest of us meet someone new.
Rays Renegade
I like your analogy of "the leaves (players) fall from their roster trees" I just pictured bare tree branches ready for the rest of fall and winter.
Wtih players like Renteria, getting to the playoff and performing is much more important. They know it might be their last hurrah, their last chance. I am happy for "Edgar Renteria, the boy from Barranquilla." That is how Vin Scully refers to him.
You know me by now, always trying to turn a phrase or produce a sense of visual prose. (lol)
I like how sometimes guys come out of the woodwork and have great years when people might not expect that burst of production from them/
Might be the same reasoning the Sean Rodriguez actually got some votes for the Fielding Bible Award this year at second base, even in a part-time role.
Someone to keep in your pocket for the 2011 Fantasy DRaft.
Rays Renegade
I think Edgar is gonna retire… and that cold? You ain't seen nothin' yet.
Actually hearing through a hemp grapevine that Edgar Renteria will sign again with the G-men for a one season tour in 2011.
Might be more of a present for what he helped bring to San Francisco than for his seaonal stats.
But then again, with the defensive options being a bit bare at the 6-spot throughout the Major Leagues, he might just get a plane ticket and a new home by April with a signed team friendly contract…..
Rays Renegade
It's really sad sometimes how a player can fall from hero to not wanted in no time. You can be showered with love one day, gone the next.
It is wild just how fast that slide can be after the end of the season. I remember guys who busted their tails for the young Rays back in the early 2000's who are now out of baseball and doing other things within some eyesight of the game.
Being a professional athlete is a fleeting thing. Most do not every imagine that for every one guy who get to the top level, there are 6-8 who never see the light at the end of the tunnel before they have to switch gears or careers.
Makes you chersih the guys like Edgar Renteria, Cody Ross and even Josh Hamilton who fought the good fight at at least got to play in the Sun with the big boys.
Rays Renegade
How very true – and great imagery too, by the way! This time of year is always a harsh reminder that baseball is at least as much a business as a game and can be as coldly "what have you done for me lately" as any large corporation's executive team. It's interesting and more than a little sad to see how quickly hot stove turns into cold shoulder for some players in 24 hours flat. Of course, if our teams didn't maintain the budget sufficiently to be able to keep our ace pitcher or make at least one great trade or free agent signing, I suppose we fans would complain about that too so, while I don't exactly pity management, I understand that they really are in a largely no win position.
Funny how the double-edged sword gets more sharpened and deadily this time of year than at the Trade Deadline?
But with the corporate bottm lines and segmented player salaries between the haves (veterans) and the have-nots (rookie salary guys) the difference is huge in more than just $$$.
Starting last night at midnight the rules suddenyl changed, the Rays 40-man roster lost 8 names in a matter of a minute, and added two that would have become minor leaguye Free Agents.
Now is the time where the front office make their game saving plays and Home Run shots….From now until February's reporting date it is their post season to either shine or be held up as losers.
Rays Renegade
I hate seeing teams trade players… I know it's part of building better teams in MLB, but watching Renteria go (possibly) is still hard. Even if he only performed well in the playoffs, he's still a part of the team, you know? It's crazy how players can go from being the stars and heros of a team to a pile of stats in just a few days.
Hoping for the best outcome in this off season!
I'll trade your cool 50's for my 20's any day lol so the hot stove begins
WestCoast Girl,
Finding that right chemistry or attitude for your team unfortunately means that pieces of the puzzle have to be traded away or broken from the whole pie.
Nothing frustrates memore than when the team either gives up or trades a piece of our squad that had a firm hold on a future spot, or seemed to be about to peak at his position.
Some say the Rays "gave up" on the Burrell experiment a few months before they should have…but hindsight is a great teacher that sometimes a mistake is just an honest mistake.
Rays Renegade
Nothing personal, but Philly can have those cold temps. Worst Winter I ever spent wasnot the one on the Iraq-Kuwait border, it was the one I spent patrolling Chinatown in South Philly.
Cold weather helps the crime in cities like that….sometimes.
Just stay warm, we need a November WTF Award.

Angels acquire LHP Hector Santiago and LHP Tyler Skaggs from Diamondbacks
Club sends Mark Trumbo and PTBNL to Arizona
LAKE BUENA VISTA, FL - The Angels today acquired LHP Hector Santiago and LHP Tyler Skaggs from the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for INF/OF Mark Trumbo and a player to be named later. Today's announcement was made by General Manager Jerry Dipoto.
Santiago, 25, spent the 2013 season with the Chicago White Sox and pitched to a 4-9 record and 3.56 ERA (149 IP - 59 ER) with 137 strikeouts in 34 games (23 starts). He opened the season in the bullpen and did not allow an earned run in six appearances (10.2 IP) before being moved to the starting rotation in early May. Santiago registered a quality start in 12 of his 23 starts and allowed three runs or fewer in eight of the nine games in which he was charged with the loss.
A native of Newark, NJ, Santiago was originally drafted by the White Sox in the 30th round of the 2006 amateur draft. The left-hander owns an 8-10 career Major League record and 3.41 ERA (224.2 IP - 85 ER) with 218 strikeouts across parts of three big league campaigns. Santiago was acquired by the Diamondbacks earlier this afternoon before being traded to the Angels.
Skaggs, 22, spent the 2013 season pitching for the Diamondbacks, Triple-A Reno and Single-A Visalia. The left-hander posted a 2-3 record with a 5.12 ERA (38.2 IP - 22 ER) and 36 strikeouts in his seven major league starts last season. Skaggs also made 20 starts in the minors in 2013 (19 with Triple-A and 1 with Single-A), combining to go 6-10 with a 4.60 ERA (109.2 IP - 56 ER). In 13 big league starts since making his major league debut in 2012, the Woodland Hills, CA native has registered a 3-6 record with a 5.43 (68.0 IP - 41 ER) ERA.
A former first round draft selection (40th overall) by the Halos in 2009, Skaggs returns to the Angels boasting a 33-27 record with a 3.34 ERA (498.2 IP - 185 IP) and 544 strikeouts in 97 games in the minors (87 starts). Skaggs, who entered the 2013 season ranked as the number one prospect in the Diamondback organization, was originally traded by the Angels to Arizona in 2010 along with LHP Patrick Corbin and RHP Rafael Rodriguez in exchange for RHP Dan Haren.
Trumbo, 27, spent his third full season with the Angels in 2013 and batted .234 (145/620) while setting career highs with 159 games played, 34 home runs and 100 RBI. His home run total ranked tied for fourth in the American League and he became just sixth Halo ever to post back-to-back 30 home run seasons. During his MLB career, he has batted .250 (429/1718) with 80 doubles, 95 home runs and 284 RBI in 460 games played. He has made starts defensively at four different positions: first base (299 games), left field (75 games), right field (65 games) and third base (nine games). The Anaheim, CA native was originally drafted by the Angels in the 18th round of the 2004 amateur draft.

The Voies-Off festival, billed as an alternative to the sprawling Rencontres d'Arles photography fair in France, returns to the fringes this year with a survey of emerging artists and photographers poised to make a mark on the world of contemporary photography.
Launched in 1996, the Voies-Off festival, led by Artistic Director Christophe Laloi, aims to discover new artists and put their work in front of the massive audiences that attend the larger festival at Arles. More than an exhibition space, Voies-Off also hosts professional development seminars and portfolio reviews, and each year presents the Voies-Off Award, a cash prize given to one artist for "the clarity of his/her vision and the quality of their work," according to the 2014 festival program.
It's these resources, coupled with free admission for the spill-over audience from Arles that has perhaps helped propel young photographers to the next level of their career and given them a platform not only to show their work, but also to present their ideas to an audience of their peers and professionals in the increasingly competitive contemporary art market.
David Favrod, whose work was also featured in a primary exhibition at the 2014 Scotiabank Contact Photography Festival in Toronto, Canada, bring his work to Voies-Off this year. Inspired by history and informed by his Swiss-Japanese ancestry, his photographs are an attempt to recreate ephemeral memories from his own hazy recollections of childhood, and the vivid but detached memories of his grandparents as they witnessed World War II.
Favrod uses found images, both personal and historical, to provide the foundation of his photographic memory-montages. He adds his own visual commentary to the photos in the form of awkward geometric shapes and patterns and jarring bursts of color, creating scenes that are oddly evocative of a concrete moment in history, reconstructed through the often-unstable lens of memory.
Favrod's work, while just a fraction of the photography on display at Voies-Off, does exemplify the kind of innovative and challenging work the festival strives to support. Layered and quietly confrontational, Favrod brings an intellectual edge to his beautifully composed and, at times, haunting photos, inviting viewers to interpret his personal history while confronting them with a very real vision of the past. It's a graceful mash-up of memory and mystery -- a body of work perfectly suited to show at Arles.
The Voies-Off festival takes place in Arles, France, and runs through July 12.
David Favrod is an artist and photographer based in Switzerland and Spain.

Evaluating a new employee for installations4/9
I'm an installer. I typically work with one helper and scale up for bigger projects, so I work closely with any employee. Needless to say, we can't afford too many mistakes, because any error is bound to be very expensive. Additionally, the maxim of "good help is hard to find" is true, and many of us learn to live with some level of compromise.
I have a new helper I hired a couple months ago. He is both smart and honest, and mostly seems able to pick things up. Occasionally though, he seems to space out or be distracted, which can (and has) result in potentially costly errors. To me, these seem largely to be problems with lack of rigor.
The other potential issue seems to be his health. Though he's only in his late 20s, and in ok shape, he pops Tums multiple times per day, has frequent headaches, and sounds a little stressed out in his personal life.
I've invested a fair amount of time in him so far, but am not sure whether he will last much more than a year.
My questions to you are:
I appreciate your guidance.
Hi Joseph,
I will address your questions one at a time.
First, on employee "benchmarks", I presume you are talking about new employees, not a seasoned veteran. My first thought is always towards safety, is this person safe and thoughtful of other's safety. Second, are they productive in the tasks I assign to them. Third, are they trustworthy, do they show up every day and put honest effort into their job. Fourth, do they show interest in what they are doing and motivation to grow with the company. Ideally, the new employee will have all of those traits, but in reality that is rarely the case. For me though, as long as they are safe, show some motivation and aptitude for the job, they'll get their chance. No one starts out being "great" at their job.
Do I have an "allowable" level of mistakes? Yes, don't make the same one twice. The old saying goes, "If you never make a mistake, you're not trying hard enough!" and I think that's pretty true. An employee who makes a mistake is given a little (or a lot) of counseling. Not just "don't do that again", but I delve into it a little and ask "Why did you do that?" "What did you expect to happen?" And then we talk about how to not make that same mistake again. That doesn't mean I fire every person who makes the same mistake twice, but there is a different conversation the second time around.
On the last question, you need to be very careful on how you handle an employee's health issues. Remember it's not their fault that they get sick (if they truly are sick). I go strictly on a case by case basis. Does the illness prevent them from doing the job safely and effectively? Are there any "reasonable" accommodations I can make to make the situation better? I have never fired someone for being sick, but I have fired people for not showing up to work. Personally, I am very careful on how I handle people with health issues. Remember other employees can also see what's going on. You don't want to be too lenient that other people say "I'm going to play that game too." But you also don't want people to think you will fire them if they miss a day.
I hate to say this without knowing the person but it sounds like he might have a medical issue or a drug / alcohol issue. Try to observe if mistakes or lack of attention happen on a regular schedule. Certain days of the week or how many days in between episodes.
The level for mistakes is what you can afford.
Concerning employee evaluations, their health shouldn't play a part in it.
On another note, if you were completely sure about him, you wouldn't be asking on here for advice.
Sounds like he is an alcoholic. Continue to employ him at your own risk.
Or... consider trying to live off of the wage that you are paying him. Would you have ulcers?
I have lived on a lot less, and ulcers are caused by a virus.
When one's liver becomes so diseased that one is vomiting blood, well, then it's probably too late to lament the fact that one is a drunk.
Without commenting on anything else, frequent headaches and stomach issues could be as simple as diet. I have to avoid quite a few things so as not to suffer from both of those issues.
Wow, to assert that someone who has frequent headaches and takes Tums a few times a day is a raging alcoholic is a huge stretch in my mind. That is just one of a thousand possibilities.
Personally, I would keep a close eye on the situation, ask questions and if I start seeing things like staggering, coming in consistently late or notice a strong smell of alcohol on his breath, then I would address it head-on.
Does he have health insurance? Can he afford to go to the doctor? (Copays and deductibles can be too much for low paid workers.) If he was a machine, and one of his parts was broken, would you invest in getting it fixed? Or just watch it deteriorate?
I agree wholeheartedly..... when does indigestion and headaches equate to being an alcoholic. I see why you work in the woodworking industry, not in the health care industry!!!!
I do not believe it is that much of a stretch to think that he may be an alcoholic. I have had the same situation happen to me several times and each of those times the person has turned out to be addicted to alcohol or drugs. The first few times I couldn't understand what was happening and learned later what the real answer was. Now when I see the same symptoms, that is where my mind goes. Call it experience.
Either way,if the person isn't doing the job correctly and you are concerned about his ability, maybe it is time to cut the cord.
Wow! Amazing how everyone has somehow come to a conclusion of alcoholic/drug addict with the barest of facts. No where in the OP did I see the mention or thought of having an actual conversation with the employee to air your concern and perhaps get a valid response to work with. You hired a human vs. purchasing a machine. Big difference.
I used to ride my Harley with a friend on the weekends that popped Tums like candy. Went on for the better part of 18 months. When he finally went to the doc, they said "shoulda seen us way earlier". Long story short, we buried him less than 3 months later from end-stage stomach cancer. RIP Larry
FWIW. if you can put Foster Brooks and alcoholic in the same thread than you're older than dirt, same as me. No one under 55 would get that....
I have worked in many companies, many different industries, and invariably, when one sees an undependable guy who has headaches and gut issues, he's a drunk.
It is so prevalent that it's not even funny. Probably the most common addiction you will see. I have seen guys drink themselves to death before they reached 30. Others somehow make it into their 50s. But they all end up the same way, dead. It is insidious and I won't tolerate working with them.
Based on a lifetime of experience my money is on alky.

I'm dipping my toes in uncharted territory here, but I want to be able to change the From/Reply-To and X-Account attributes for some outgoing emails. Basically, if I mail (or reply) to anyone on employer's domain, I want to make sure that my email is sent from that domain too. I have an account set up but it's a pain to remember to change the account manually on each mail when I create it, otherwise it goes from my personal address. At the moment my failure rate is probably about 20%.
So - I've set an outgoing mail filter to pick up the cases (where recipients include that domain) and to run the little script that I wrote as follows:
- Code: Select all
{ Quit if something goes wrong
Set $OnErrorGoTo Quit
Set $fm "me <firstname.lastname@example.com>"
DeleteHeader "From:" %m
AddHeader %m "From:" $fm
DeleteHeader "Reply-To:" %m
AddHeader %m "Reply-To:" $fm
DeleteHeader "X-Account:" %m
AddHeader %m "X-Account:" "Domain account"
Set $a "Something ran!"
AppendBody $a " "
AppendBody $a "Bye!"
MessageBox $a
Now, I'm getting the messagebox coming up when I send test mails so I know it's running - but when I check the headers of my sent emails, nothing has changed.
I can't figure out why, but I'm very new to scripts so maybe it's something obvious. Any ideas?
Thank you

I travel often enough that I decided to activate tethering through AT&T. I'm not on unlimited data, but I do have a fairly high limit now (tethering comes with more bandwidth) I am often downloading new podcast episodes over 3G, but find I am still limited by the 20MB file limit. So I have to tether to my Mac Book Pro to download the podcast (over the iPhone), and then sync it to my iPhone.
I guess the reason for the 20MB limit was when AT&T offered unlimited data, but now it is just annoying as it requires me to take an extra step to download the same 20MB file over the same 3G network.
Short of having another iPhone and tethering them together, is there a way I can download a file over 20MB directly to my iPhone? I'd prefer not to jailbreak it, but I guess I am not completely opposed to it if that is my only solution.

* Report says small-scale fishing needs promoting
* Says rules governing access to waters need tightening
By Alister Doyle
OSLO, Oct 30 (Reuters) - "Ocean grabbing" or aggressive industrial fishing by foreign fleets is a threat to food security in developing nations where governments should do more to promote local, small-scale fisheries, a study by a U.N. expert said on Tuesday.
The report said emerging nations should tighten rules for access to their waters by an industrial fleet that is rapidly growing and includes vessels from China, Russia, the European Union, the United States and Japan.
"Ocean-grabbing is taking place," Olivier de Schutter, the U.N. special rapporteur on the right to food and the report's author, told Reuters. "It's like land-grabbing, just less discussed and less visible."
The 47-page report on "Fisheries and the Right to Food", which said 15 percent of all animal protein consumed worldwide is from fish, will be presented to the U.N. General Assembly.
De Schutter said ocean grabbing involved "shady access agreements that harm small-scale fishers, unreported catch, incursions into protected waters, and the diversion of resources away from local populations."
The report cited the example of islands in the western and central Pacific that get only about 6 percent of the value of a $3 billion tuna fishery off their coasts. Foreign fishing fleets get the rest.
Equally, Guinea-Bissau nets less than 2 percent of the value of the fish caught off its coast under a deal with the EU. De Schutter said some countries where industrial fleets were based were already taking steps to tighten laws.
"What's getting worse is that the capacity of industrial fishing fleets is increasing," he said. Governments give an estimated $30-34 billion in subsidies to fishing each year.
That money is often spent on boat-building or fuel that skews competition.
"We need to do more to reduce the capacity of the industrial fishing fleets and to manage the fish stocks in a much more sustainable way," said de Schutter. Food security is also at risk from threats such as climate change and pollution, he said.
De Schutter said aquaculture was disproportionately concentrated in Asia which is responsible for 88 percent of all production. "Extremely little has been done in Africa and Latin America in particular. There is a huge potential there," he said.
Fisheries received less attention than farming, he suggested, partly because the sector employed only about 200 million people globally. By contrast, the world has 1.5 billion small-scale farmers, he said.
The report said that local fishing was more efficient and less wasteful than industrial fishing, urging measures to promote small-scale fishing such as the creation of "artisanal fishing zones".
"Small-scale fishers actually catch more fish per gallon of fuel than industrial fleets, and discard fewer fish," it said. It praised some measures which have already been taken to promote local fishing - such as in Cambodia's biggest lake or off the Maldives.
Estimates of the scale of illegal catches range from 10-28 million tonnes, while some 7.3 million tonnes, or almost 10 percent of global wild fish catches were discarded as unwanted by-catches every year, the report said.
It said industrial fishing was by far the most wasteful.
Total global fish production was about 143 million tonnes - 90 million from wild fish catches and 53 million from fish farming, the report said.
De Schutter said fish farming would have to expand to feed a rising world population, now just above 7 billion. Population growth would raise demand by a forecast 27 million tonnes over the next two decades, he said. (Editing by Andrew Osborn)

The little frontier town of Redwood Falls in the 1870s featured some of the same architecture popular in large cities like Chicago and Washington D.C. at the time, a fact emphasized in architect / designer Martin Treu's new book "Signs, Streets, and Storefronts".
The new book Signs, Streets, and Storefronts looks at more than 200 years of what American main streets have looked like, from pioneer villages to Times Square, from painted wooden signs to neon casinos.
When you get to page 37 of the book, where Treu writes about frontier American architecture, you might be jolted to see the following sentences:
"Tiny Redwood Falls, Minnesota, which did not have a store until 1865 or the railroad until 1878, was built up almost entirely during this indulgent, eclectic period.
"Redwood Falls was not an unusually prosperous town, but one would not know that from looking at the complex, lacy Gothic filigree on the crest of its Philbrick Building (1886)....")
Treu continues on for several more paragraphs, comparing Redwood's early architecture to that of Chicago and Minneapolis being built at the time.
Turn the page, and you'll find several photos of the building now known as Connie's Hallmark as it's appeared over the past 127 years.
How did Redwood Falls get featured in a book about American architecture?
The Gazette contacted Martin Treu this month to find out.
It turns out Treu's grandfather, Max Russell Treu was born in Redwood Falls in 1925. Treu's grandmother, Amy Barnes Treu, spent most of her life here.
Gazette: "How did you learn about Redwood Falls?"
Treu: "I was born in Toledo, Ohio. This is where my father settled after moving from Redwood Falls to help his father run a beer distributorship that he established after leaving my grandmother."
Gazette: "What is your experience visiting Redwood Falls?"
Treu: "I first visited Redwood Falls in 1973, when my grandmother died. Even at age 16 I found the place handsome and charming.
"I must have been falling in love with the small town Main Street in principle at this early stage in my life. I enjoyed being able to walk to all the businesses.
"I remember a coffee shop in RF that made homemade donuts to order. My parents loved this sort of thing, and so we visited the place every morning during our stay. I also remember that the people of the town were extraordinarily kind.
"My next visit was sometime in the early 1990s. Of course many of the businesses had changed. The center of town was not as economically vital as it was twenty years earlier.
"I returned around 2003 and 2005. I can't recall exactly the change up or down in terms of business strength and appearance. But there were clear signs of the effort to keep the center architecturally intact and maintain its integrity."
Gazette: "What is your overall impression of Redwood's architecture/streets, compared to other communities? What is it about Redwood that led to you want to include it in the book?
Treu: "I would not include Redwood simply because it was my father's birth place. The town has an important story to tell.
"One of the things that draws me to has to do with the period in which Minnesota was settled. This was rather late relative to the rest of the Midwest, during the 1870s and 1880s (as opposed to the 1840s or 1850s).
"This means that the earliest prominent buildings in the town were more ornate and imaginative than those, say, in Ohio. Redwood is also prosperous due to its position as a county seat.
"Once I started to dig into the details, I was impressed by how substantial the businesses were by 1910, say. I virtually walked back into time spending weeks reading Redwood's newspapers. What a place it was by 1920, when my grandfather and grandmother happened to meet.
Gazette: "If you were hired to reimagine Redwood Falls' streets (downtown area and others) and had an unlimited budget, what would you change/improve, and why?"
Treu: "This is a challenging question, because I don't know all the issues facing the town. I can see that business is struggling, as it is in many small town centers—even the county seats, which are usually stronger economically.
"I also wish that I had been to Redwood more recently than I have, and that it was fresher in my mind.
"There are, however, a few things that might pop up quickly on my wish list for the town, things based on my knowledge of the history of Redwood Falls and its obvious architectural beauty....
"I always see the town cinema(s) as the heart and glowing hearth of any Main Street; so, I might begin by wishing that both the Redwood and the Falls would operate as the town's entertainment center. The great thing about the movies is that they attract a regular ebb and flow of customers, helping stir up spontaneous visits to other businesses.
"I would also wish that the post office remains operating in the center of town for the same reason.
"Another thing that I would suggest is that apartment housing be built within the town center and at its immediate edges, requiring no automobile to go to a tavern or restaurant or movie.
"It would be beautiful to see two story, mixed-use buildings surround the courthouse square, with business below and residence above. This is classic arrangement for a county seat.
"And finally, I would place a food market right at the edge of the walkable town center. I believe that a drug store still operates in the center of RF. It looked a little quiet when I was last there, but in principle this is another business that spreads energy to the rest of town.
"You probably know all of this and wish for the same things.
"I have a particular affection for the Philbrick block and would hope to see its historic crest restored. I'd put my own money on restoring the facades of the Redwood and the Falls theatres.
"Second Street is very pleasant and attractive. Mill Street needs as many trees as possible. It left the impression with me of being a highway. It's overscaled for the traffic that flows on it, so I would narrow the lanes and do everything possible to strengthen those medians.
"Maybe I can come back to town and give it far more thought.
Gazette: "You worked with town historian Gary Revier a bit on the project?
Treu: "Gary was my civic escort through town, introducing me to key people whom I interviewed and making archives available to me.
"He was probably the most helpful person in the United States with vintage photography. His resources are amazing."
Gazette: "Now that you've finished the book, what are you up to these days?"
Treu: "I just graduated last week with a degree in urban design....
"The degree is ... about the quality of places that we create as citizens and governments. It's about making smart master plans, working with people in their neighborhoods as we make modifications, doing careful research into existing conditions and history, knowing architecture well, and always being responsive to human scale.
Gazette: "What sort of future projects do you have in mind?"
Treu: "I would seriously like to become very more involved with small towns rather than big cities. I'd like to help places like Redwood Falls make the improvements they need for the next ten years and the next hundred years.
"Avoiding the strangulation caused by sprawl is the first order. Town centers should not be treated as quaint historic islands but as the center of everything connected to everything. Historic patterns of growth, like the traditional grid, can continue to be the basis of growth."

When Lil Boosie's murder trial begins April 30th it will have Louisiana's first anonymous jury since 1987.
Boosie, real name Torrance Hatch is already serving an eight-year sentence after pleading guilty to trying to smuggle drugs into two seperate Louisiana prisons. He stands accused of hiring Michael Louding aka Marlo Mike to kill 35-year old Terry Boyd in October 2009.
Louding, 18, and Adrian Pittman, 37, also are charged with first-degree murder in Boyd's death.
East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore III said it was his idea to have an anonymous jury due to the high profile nature of the case.
"It's just something we thought would be better for the case and the jurors," Moore told KATC.com.
Jurors will be identified by numbers and will not have their name made public.
Boosie's lawyers don't see the need for such safety measures
"There's no evidence of any threats against any potential jurors in this case," said Boosie attorney Martin Regan. "We want to get a fair jury."
Moore added that his office is not seeking the death penalty against Hatch, meaning he would be sentenced to life in prison if convicted as charged.

Post-It note
"I do like sticking post it notes in front of the screen."
Post-it note[edit]
Post-it notes are small pieces of dwarf beard that are pressed to make a yellow slime often mistaken as paper. They are never, in any circumstances, to be put through the postal system or, in essesnce, "posted." This however is completely ignored by the average hamster brained chav - who gnaws them up, excretes the remains and flicks them on to the nearest delighted walking ape, as long as it isn't Oprah.
Things that can be posted incluse dirigibles and miniture(and I mean, miniture) golf courses that have been designed specially to fit in envelopes by swiss cuckoo-clock designers that suddenly had the revelation that maybe there was more to life than finding more and more exciting ways to make small wooden birds pop out of clocks "every bloody hour".
The swiss revolutionary elements who had more sense did not create these Gnome fields and decided instead to make the cuckoo-clock go once every half past, as well as the average hourly go-er-of-er-ings associated with these cursed mechanized time-telling devices.
People that attempt to post a post-it are killing accountants, which is really cruel, and should be encouraged at all times.

Stickies are little creatures, that stick on to the inside of a monitor. They obviously have a sense of style and importance, so they have chosen to use the Macintosh as their chosen victimised computer. Usually on Mac OS X these days, they have resided in the Applications folder and the Dashboard (in Tiger only). They are often mistaken as a computerised form of post-it notes, where as they seem strangely enticing.
These creatures often change colour, content to what the user's whim is. They also seem not to mind being dragged around, and strected at any time. There are various theories to why this is. Many believe that it is a common masturbation for the creatures; and those of which have never touched stickies again. This theory is usually discredited by chavs.
If you own a proper PeeCee the two paragraphs above won't make sense.
Drug Value[edit]
Post it notes should also be considered as Class A drugs. This is because if you smoke the glue on the sticky bit it has the effect of Cocaine, Cannabis, Chalk, Benzocaine, Lallafrall, Huffed Kittens, Valium, Caffeine, LSD, PHP, USB, 1337, PruneScape and Dihydrocodeine combined. The effects also make people go dilusional believing that the users are the most important person on the planet and everyone beneath them is a student. It is well known that Castles are a large user of post it notes.
However, despite the highly sought after effects, this drug is not illegal at all. In fact, it is considered quite the opposite. This is because the only people who know about this are people who dont think much of students in the first place. This can include groups of people such as Castles, Housees, Televisions, and the evil Anne Robinson.

I know this is a journey, and what I am asking is, where are you on your own personal atheistic stance? Would you considered yourself confirmed, convinced, still doubting, adamant, or still looking over your shoulder at your religious training/indoctrination? Please provide your own favorite adjectives.
I consider myself convinced and adamant about atheism. I feel very strongly about my nonbelief. Too strongly some times.
Where stands you?
Views: 640
On a constant basis I find myself teetering between completely adamant and looking over my shoulder. I am atheist/agnostic, but I grew up in a home that was extremist in the Christian beliefs. You didn't go to hospital if you were sick, you prayed. You didn't stand up for yourself if others hurt you, you prayed. I could go on and on. While I have abandoned that way of life, it's a bit difficult for me to not wonder if I made the right decision. When these thought come up, I remind myself why I decided that life was not right for me. Having a support system for these beliefs will be a great help!
Well, there's a small problem I think. Unlike religious denominations we neither have nor need a "Confirmed" stamp of approval as we don't need one; we are who we are and the holy-rollers be damned.
You seem as determined as I in retaining your non-believer status, and fr that I salute you. I'm and active dis-believer who is at constant war with "The Word".
Hear-hear. My stone-headed determination to be who I am has echoed and rebounded all through my 67-years extending from my preschool years, through college and even the US Army. Just as any military force from before the Roman Legions to the 21st century immediately seeks to destroy every individual's personality to remold them into order-obeying fleshbots, I've never knuckled under for the 7-years I served. That's the primary reason I've been self-employed for 85% of my professional career.
The forces of religion from my mom at the very beginning of my sojourn as a self-conscious animal on this beautiful "Blue marble" we call home to the present day I do not allow any to remake me into another holy roller, scripture-spouting, ridiculous fleshbot of another sort, I am ME!
Glad and pleased to have you aboard, now where on our Blue marble do you occupy your space?
I also trust you are part of the 99%, so go and occupy something so we can reclaim our nation and take it back from the holy rollers and corporations. We ALL MUST turn out and vote in 2012 lest they take us all back to the Dark Ages when religion ruled every damn thing.
Pleased indeed to meet another Tarheel atheist; are you native Carolinian as I? Beautiful state from east to west and north to south and I hated to leave it, which I had to do in order to make a living. I could have moved to the Triangle Research Park area but I wanted to get into the marine industry as a hold-over from my Physical Oceanography days with AT&T in Greensboro. My missus and I are both from Eden, we're both old enough to call it Leaksville.
If I may ask, Where in NC are you? I am in Decatur, TX about 34-miles NNW of Fort Worth where I am a participant on the Occupy Fort Worth division of Occupy Wall Street. I encourage you to go fina a local division and join in, 'cause of the Repugnican nut cases running in 1012 manage to win, we're all screwed.
Purely on sentimental, emotional and physical comfort reasons I much prefer North Carolina. Another very important link is of course family. My 89-y-o mom still resides in Eden and she is in excellent health, mentally as sharp as I've ever known her to be, but physically hindered by arthritic knees from spending 32-years on concrete floors at the DuPont plant, now closed and destroyed, in Martinsville, VA.
I know Asheville well and a little about Old Fort and I'm pleased that a NC homegirl is majoring in physics, well done. I'm a physics nut, nuclear physics especially, and its long and storied history. My library of some 3,000 volumes has a lot of science, physics, evolution, and engineering, but the preponderance is history. I also have a large number of books oon Skepticism, atheism, and critique of religion, which I despise in all of its many weird forms.
I have had an interesting career, due mostly to my short attention span and I' always looking for a new wrinkle in whatever I'm doing at the time. I have patents, now abandoned, and I do a large amount of leading edge work with marine applications of ozone. Have a look @ www.chem-freeozone.com and you'll see some of it. Also, if you like send me your email address @ firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll send you some ozone specific material that as a physics major I think you'll enjoy.
I have leading edge water treatment systems that I designed and built aboard Research Vessel Knorr and R/V Atlantis of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, as well as several other well known RVs from Scripps institution of Oceanography.
We and indeed America needs smart young people who are not trapped in religion and are not afraid to say so. Also, the Occupy movement needs you and as many friends and like-minded students on the picket lines. Also, make every effort to get as many registered as possible as we'll need every vote to offset those Tea Stained idiots and to most of all prevent another evangelical nutcase out of the Oval Office.
Sorry for the length.
I agree with some of the posters above who say that we don't need to be confirmed or convinced or doubting or adamant about atheism. I understand the sentiment, but I have a hard time semantically digesting the phrase, "I feel strongly about my nonbelief." This language comes from a culture steeped in theism. I find that using this language in reference to atheism makes it seem as though believing in a higher power is the normal, default thing to do (which makes no sense at all).
I tend to agree with the exception that above all I don't want anyone to think I'm a "believer" and above all not a participant in any evidence-free theology, especially of the Abraham-centered versions. Those folks are willing to kill members of the "competing" religion.
I've long worn my disbelief status with pride and I am very open about my atheism. With that thought, what a wonderful nation in which we live under a Declaration of Independence and a constitution that has the First Amendment enshrined rather than some friendly ghost and I don't mean Casper.

The Rugrat's is a cartoon show that airs on Nickelodeon and nowadays, the series is moving on to being a classic. I received a request to do a lesson that teaches the artist or viewer "how to draw Reptar", step by step. If you have watched Rugrat's before, you should be familiar with Reptar. He is a green colored dinosaur that Tommy Pickles' father, Stu Pickles, invented along with some other gizmos and gadgets. Reptar made his first debut in 1991 with "At the Movies". In the first movie, Reptar was just a kids wagon that Stu built. He was initially supposed to go to Japan, but instead the kids accidentally took him along their adventures through the forest. In "Rugrats in Paris", Reptar was a humongous robot that Tommy and his friends used to stop the wedding of Chuckie's dad to a woman that just wanted to use the two of them to promote herself further up the career ladder. Anyway, this will probably be one of the more easier dinosaurs to draw because when it comes time to "draw Reptar", you will definitely succeed. I will be back later with two more tutorials so stay tuned in, to check those out in a few. Peace out people, and have a happy drawing day.

Ohio Military Records
This entry was originally written by Carol L. Maki and Michael John Neill for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.Media:Insert formula here[[File:
[[link title]Italic text]]]</math>
There is a long list of published (printed and/or microfilmed) Ohio military records that are available through the FHL and throughout many genealogical libraries. These include records from the Civil War, Mexican War, American Revolution, War of 1812, Spanish-American War, and World War I. An excellent listing can be found in Bell's Ohio Guide to Genealogical Sources (see Background Sources for Ohio).
Loyalist records are an important resource in Ohio. A large concentration of loyalist material is available at the Ohio Historical Society, the Blegen Library at the University of Cincinnati, and Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
Ohio did not grant state pensions, but the office of the State of Ohio, Adjutant General's Department, Room 11, State House Annex, Columbus, OH 43266-0605, holds the records for those who served in the War of 05:20, 30 May 2012 (UTC) era. The collection consists only of wartime records with no published indexes available across its holdings. The office does not hold information on national pension records. The Civil War index is on microfilm and is available through the FHL.
Information from service records will be supplied for an individual at no charge, but full name, birth date, and other available information should be submitted if possible. Records for the War of 1812 are sketchy. A sample provided by the adjutant general's department gave the roll of various companies, giving the service dates of the unit and the members of the company, with their rank. A service number for World War II and Korea is very helpful. For Vietnam, a social security number is necessary.
The Ohio Historical Society holds a number of Civil War regimental histories on microfilm that may be purchased from the society. The society also has a War of 1812 roster of Ohio soldiers that can be searched at its site. This database contains the names of 1,759 officers and 24,521 men who were enlisted in this war. A genealogically important and impressive, although not inclusive, resource is the 'Graves Registration File' at the society, which includes several hundred microfilm reels with information on Ohio burial places for veterans through the Vietnam era. Microfilm cards state name, war of service, date of death and burial site, and occasionally additional details on military service or family. The society will search the reference for a fee. Military records located at the county level may include soldiers' discharge and/or burial information.

Probably the biggest growth in the electronic cigarette industry now (2014) would be that of more advanced devices such as vape pens and tank systems where users get into a more DIY approach, filling their own e-liquid, and even rebuilding or modding their device.
This is a real common next step for consumers that have grown an affinity for vaping through mini cigs, or cigalikes, which resemble the size of an actual tobacco cigarette. Some of the most well known are V2 and Blu Cigs, NJOY and Green Smoke.
Then for a number of reasons they are drawn to tank systems where you refill your own e-cig juice, and often use a more powerful battery, usually an eGo-style battery.
Why The Switch To A Vaping Tank System or Pen and E-Liquid?
1. Cost – One of the most attractive reasons for this is the cost savings over buying cartridges/cartomizers. A typical vaper who goes through 1-2 cartridges a day spends something like $100-$200 a month on restock. If they go through an equivalent amount of e-liquid in that time, after purchasing a vaporizer, they will probably be looking at around $30 per month or so.
Yes, it can be a massive cost savings, ESPECIALLY for someone switching from analogues!
2. More Options – Then there is the whole DIY feature, both in choosing whatever flavor they want, and there are a TON! (according to a recent study, there are said to be AT LEAST 7,000 flavors).
3. More Power/Battery Life – You can also choose a more powerful device, both in battery power, and the amount of voltage or wattage that is produced, which will create more powerful vapor. There are also variable voltage devices where you can fine tune your vapor, setting the voltage at just the right amount, as various liquids respond differently, as well as the fact that everyone has different taste.
But basically, if you make the switch to en eGo-style tank system, with a typically sized battery, you're looking at something that will last you all day, without needing a charge or a refill, rather than just a couple hours.
Vaping Tanks And E-Liquid
Large e cig batteries or mod systems are compatible with tanks which hold e-liquid. The word "tank" is used interchangeably with cartomizer, glassomizer, clearomizer, and tank system, but they all differ. While each one is designed to work with e-liquid, prices and features range considerably. The type of e-liquid best used in each one can also vary.
Cartomizers and E-Liquid
Usually, the term "cartomizer" refers to an atomized cartridge. It either arrives filled with e-liquid or is "blank," meaning the consumer refills it. These accompany mini cigs or electronic cigarettes meant to look like cigarettes.
These units work best when filled with thin e-liquid, and the thinnest juices contain the most propylene glycol. As a result, one will probably never see proprietary e-liquid made for a mini cig that comes with VG-dominant e-liquid.
Vegetable glycerin (VG) is thick, associated with thick vapor. PG (propylene glycol), while thinner, usually produces a bigger throat hit.
These are much the same as cartomizers but one can see through them to the wick. A number or clearomizers were designed for a maximum number of vape sessions: maybe 5 or 10.
After that time, the wick would become gummy or dry. The unit would cause e-liquid to taste funny or the plastic would become cloudy. These are disposable, with pieces glued together.
Top and bottom caps on a rebuildable clearomizer screw on and off so the user can change the mouthpiece, replace the atomizer, or even change the wick and coil. Many models are available in several colors.
Metal-coated versions leave a viewing window so the juice is not entirely hidden. A glassomizer is a tube with an atomizer attached, but instead of being plastic, the tube is made from glass.
The reasons glass is often preferred over plastic are:
• To achieve a cleaner taste
• To prevent clouding or cracking when vaping acidic liquids
A lot of clearomizers and glassomizers are compatible with VG-dominant e-liquid, but check ahead of time as very thick liquid might clog the atomizer.
Tank Systems
A true tank works with a tube and a cartomizer inserted in the middle. The tank is typically very large and for specific use with high-powered units, particularly mods.
They are rebuildable in every respect. Replace the top and bottom caps. Change wicks. Replace coils. Add a new cartomizer.
The tank system can be very expensive, and high-end models are made from Pyrex. Pyrex offers the clean taste of a glass, acid-resistant toughness, with greater durability than glass.
A number of tank systems you might have seen are referred to as RBAs: rebuildable atomizers.
E-Liquid Brands
Most brands of e-liquid can be customized to contain a preferred ration of VG and PG, though not always a PG-free mixture. If you like cinnamon, lemon, lime, and many citrus-fruit flavors, always buy glass tanks. The tubes can be replaced in multiple colors without shelling out for the entire system.
Mods and The Cult Following
Then there is nearly a cult following with people using more advanced devices. There is nearly no end to all the modifications and styles available out there, from devices that resemble a grenade, to a sky scraper, and an endless amount of design and style by artsy manufacturers across the globe competing to make the coolest, most chic, beautiful or powerful device, and the competition is fierce.
Some of the price tags of more advanced items can get quite steep, up to at least a couple hundred dollars, and this keeps the hobbyists very happy with an endless sea of options available.
The Top 5 Vape Pens
It's not easy making a top 5 list of vape pens when there are new ones being released weekly, and many of them share similar features. The following list contains 5 really good ones, and others are pretty good as well, but as a guideline look for vape pens using the following criteria.
Choosing Vaping Pens
For one thing, they should be within your price range but not too cheap. If you do not pay at least $60 for the pen, be suspicious, but don't let anyone charge you more than $80 for a regular coil-system pen either. Another question to ask is what you can vape with the pen: wax, herbs, essential oils, or multiple materials. More questions arise as you look closely at reviews for different products, including the tendency for a pen to burn contents or to run out of power too quickly. Leaking can also be an issue.
Omicron Vaporizer Pen
Actually, anything by Omicron should satisfy you. There is no cotton but a silica wick, stainless steel, ceramics, and a clean-tasting result. The Omicron Vape Pen features a 900-mah battery: that should provide a day's worth of vaping right there. Omicron receives excellent customer reviews, uses essential oils, and the battery lasts for 300+ charges. You get a 1-year warranty for this tough device that is also really easy to keep clean.
Cloud Penz
With the newest version of this pen, you enjoy upgrades internally such as a new atomizer called a funnel coil. Use the pen with solid concentrates for an intense vaporizing experience.
It heats up quickly: perhaps too quickly, with the tendency to burn concentrates. Users are not that concerned about this problem, however: they can control the atomizer using the button.
It does not leak or spill concentrates either, which some devices do, and that's because of the new coil style. For less than $100, vapers receive a decent buy.
Trippy Stix
These are gorgeous vape pens, released long before a lot of the other pens on this and other lists you will come across. Trippy Stix has played around with their pens, improving them; beautifying them.
They come in purple, camo, gold, and chrome. There are pros and cons: Trippy Stix pens are prone to leaking, but the battery gives you up to 400 puffs on a single charge.
You also need to clean your Trippy Stix regularly, but it will keep you safe from accidental overheating or from being turned on unintentionally.
V2 Pro Series 3
A 3-in-1 pen does much for the vaper who would previously have been forced to buy multiple pens or choose one type of product to vape. With the 3-in-1 from V2, you change cartridges using the same battery and they connect magnetically.
Nothing could be simpler. Editions for autumn and winter release will provide variable temperature controls, but for now the battery sets itself to the right temperature by communicating with each cartridge.
For the initial price of around $60, consumers receive only the e liquid cartridge. Herbal cartridges cost another $25 or so and essential oil cartridges will be priced the same when they are released.
Getting started won't cost more than $90, plus the price of herbs or liquid.
For $159.99, this is one of the most expensive pen-style vapes, probably because its looks belie inner workings more like larger portable devices. Combustion is a problem plaguing many pen vapes. Using an oven rather than a coil enables the TVape to warm but not burn materials. Square Smoke makes this compact device which cleans like a charm and heats herbs up in 5 seconds to 390F or, in a further second or two, 420F.
Electronic cigarettes in the old days (10 years ago or less) were cigarette-style items that lasted about an hour or two when the battery was fully charged. They were small and light but also ineffective. In the meantime, vaporizers for herbs were table top behemoths that required mains power to operate. The very idea of a portable vaporizer was the stuff of science fiction.
Science Fact
Today's consumer is spoiled for choice. Whether one chooses e-liquid or herbs, there are numerous portable devices and more coming. The latest craze is pen-style vaporizers which electronically convert herbs or oils into vapor.
What is a Personal Vaporizer?
A personal vaporizer is often referred to as an APV. Although it is not the size of a cigarette, this is still a portable device which can fit in a pocket or a bag, preferably inside a case to keep the unit clean. APVs or Advanced Personal Vaporizers are digitally adjustable. Consumers only buy these when they understand how atomizer resistance and voltage contribute to their machine's performance.
APVs come with digital controls: usually one or multiple buttons. These change the voltage and/or wattage setting on an e-cig. If you are using a vaporizer for herbs or oils, buttons allow the consumer to adjust temperature. Certain materials vape best at relatively low settings (less than 300F) while others need the highest heat they can get (around 400F).
The Price of Control
A handheld vaporizer is frequently cheaper than a desktop vaporizer, but not always. Take box mods, for instance: they cost around $90 to $100 for a basic unit without any fancy features. The Micro G vaporizer costs around $70. An eVic package (for e-liquid) will set you back roughly $100, but that model comes with a software component.
Then again, being able to see the pattern of your weekly or monthly vaping habits is optional and one might say it's a frivolous thing. It has no bearing on the quality of your vaping experience.
If you are comparing a Davinci Ascent to the Storz & Bickel Volcano, however, the savings are obvious: about $250 compared to over $400.
APVs like the Vamo V2 and Provari Mini are costlier than e cigs but their battery power and tank capacity are greater. They tend to pay for themselves quickly.
Who are Vaporizers for?
Vaporizers were designed to offer smokers a way out of smoking. An e-cig vaporizer does not produce tar, although the jury is still out as to whether there are dangerous chemicals imparted from the liquid or internal parts into one's lungs. As for herbal vaporizers, these are safer but not safe. In both cases, the major benefits are removing combustion and multiple chemicals from regular nicotine-based products. A lot of people are switching to these methods of "smoking" so as to reduce or eliminate nicotine.
As for portability, this is an important innovation. To quit smoking is ideal, but unrealistic. When vaporizers can go on the road with the minimum of hardware, providing a discrete way to vape, this frees the user from having to resort to smoking while away from home.
The Best Portable Vaporizers Money Can Buy
Advantages of owning a portable vaporizer (not a pen-style vape) include their convenience and stealthy profile. They slot into a pocket or bag easily and frequently resemble something entirely different.
Prices, compared with many top desktop models, are excellent. Portable vaporizers of quality are not linked to the issue of burning herbs, a problem that plagues pen vapes. What are the best portable vaporizers? The following list considers vaporizers I personally find appealing, but there are many others worth considering. I chose to profile the Pinnacle Pro, Firefly, Pax, and Magic Flight Launch Box.
The Pinnacle Pro
This Vaporblunt offering for around $210 is the company's best model. It creates clean vapor consistently and the battery is excellent.
It lasts for hours, though how many is determined by the temperature selected. Lots of retailers carry this popular model because it sells well.
Five settings start at 370F and reach 470F: plenty to effectively heat concentrates so you can truly taste them.
Lower temperatures are advised for use with herbs. Measuring just 5″ x 1″, this is a stealthy little black number you can carry around discretely, barely noticing its weight.
It is easy to install bullets of wax or herbs, so named for their resemblance to used bullet casings.
The Firefly
If you have an old cell phone, maybe 5 to 10 years old, take it out. They aren't as skinny as new models but are still pretty slick and easy to carry around.
Imagine yours in red, grey, or black and the Firefly could pass for one such item. That kind of deceptive design enables vaporizer consumers to conduct their business without strange looks and to carry devices which no one bothers to look at twice.
This device is elegant in solid, shiny colors and innovative in design. The cover is magnetic: there aren't any screws to fiddle with if you have to remove the screen for any reason.
You can fully remove the cover for total access to the inner portions for cleaning and loading purposes. The vapor pathway is formed by putting the cover on: amazing.
Firefly batteries come right out to be charged and, ultimately, replaced. If you couldn't do that, the device would have a finite life of perhaps 300 charges or around a year. The battery charges in around 45 minutes to provide more than twice that amount of vaping time.
When switched to "off," the battery no longer stands ready to heat the element, so you can really make the battery last. Top temperature is 400F: ample for the herbs one can plant in here. Plan to hand over around $250, but expect to use your Firefly for years.
A Firefly is heavier than some models, like the others discussed here, but it's all relative. Besides, a bit of heft is reassuring, indicating that the unit is made with quality materials.
Magic Flight Launch Box
Each Magic Flight Launch Box is a work of art in wood, engraved and assembled in the United States from renewable resources.
It is easy to operate and costs half the price of either product mentioned above: about $119. There is no plastic to create fumes or taint your vapor.
As a small item, there is a drawback: the need to refill it frequently.
Two AA batteries slide in and slide out: you can charge them externally and replace them when they die.
Heating requires mere seconds to produce a pure, fresh taste. Use it with herbs or concentrates.
Pax by Ploom
The people behind the Pax spent many years just thinking about, talking about, and drafting this unit. Over and over they scribbled and discussed until finally they could say their ideas were ready to be put to the test. What they came up with is one of the most popular vaporizers in America.
The magnetic lid is also a mouthpiece which can be opened, pushed in, or flipped to reveal the vapor hole and heating button. This part is replaceable if you lose it.
A light on the front shaped like an "x" lights up to tell you when the battery is losing power or what temperature you are at. All you do to change which mode you want is shake it. Then, instead of temperature, you see the color code for charge value.
The Pax comes with a built-in, rechargeable battery. That is a bit unfortunate; I mean it would be better to have a replaceable one. When you pay $250 for a vaporizer, you don't want its life span to be decided by the longevity of something so silly.
But customers love their Pax. They love everything from the ingenious battery to the fact that it never gets too hot to hold. They love the colors and vapor, both its taste and density. It only works with herbs, and these will be fully, efficiently vaporized at the setting you select without creating ash.
Types Of Vaporizer Pens For Herbs And Oils
Vape Pens are either herbal and/or oil vaporizers or electronic cigarettes. This article is going to refer to the former group which work in a similar way but take a bit more work to look after.
The pen is one of many vaporizer shapes. Numerous other devices plug into a wall socket or can be used wirelessly and be plugged-in. Some come with butane, but most are wireless, portable devices that operate using a battery.
There are boxes with tubes coming out of them or balloons that fill with vapor plus a few with several tubes coming out at once for multiple users simultaneously. The most popular types of vaporizer, however, are those that are most convenient — the portable types.
Among these, novel shapes are always being developed so that vaporizing can be as discrete or as much fun as the consumer wishes. Some are classy, covered in wood-look materials or made from wood, coated in a metallic sheen, encased in heat-resistant plastic, etc.
Vaporizers cost as little as $50 or $60 and as much as $400. They can be purchased online from several dealers whose reputations are easy to check. Customers have posted reviews of products and retailers on vape forums for the benefit of new customers.
If you decide that a vape pen is the right device for you or choose one as a portable alternative to the one you have on your table at home, your reasons could be diverse. Vape pens look like real pens, so no one would give it a second thought unless the item was examined up close.
They fit into almost any pocket in one's pants, coat, or bag. They are light to carry around. Sometimes consumers want to be seen using their vaporizers because they are beautiful and stylish accessories.
Several manufacturers make these devices and charge as much as $200 for a single one. The great news is that shipping is typically free for products priced over $100 (often less) so that is unlikely to be an added expense if you want the best and most expensive product.
A distinction between pens is that they might be used for oils or herbs but seldom both. Trying to adapt a device to do what you want is likely to destroy it.
Products in Brief
The Dube is a vaporizer for oils and dry blends, so this is great for someone who remains undecided. The pen is made by White Rhino, a well-known company in this industry. Their product is available in several colors, is very small, and affordable. On the down side, however, it is prone to overheating and only holds a small amount of material so refills will be frequent.
A G Pen is what some would call a starter model. For $80, it offers a simple introduction to vaping with oils only.
An Atmos RX, by contrast, is for dry blends only and for more than twice the price of a G Pen. The battery holds a charge for around 2 hours which is excellent for a battery this size achieving high temperatures.
Tabletop Vaporizers
Once upon a time, all vaporizers were tabletop vaporizers. With advanced engineering, they get smaller all the time. But tabletop or desktop machines are still favored by a lot of consumers. While they are bulky and do not lend themselves to vaping on the go, they bring several advantages with them.
A tabletop vaporizer plugs into a wall socket. Although this means you are stuck vaporizing wherever there is an outlet, that outlet provides consistent power. Unregulated batteries provide inconsistent power and they run out of power too. Unless you experience a power outage, your desktop vaporizer will run until your herbs or oils are gone.
Tabletop vaporizers can also be used in multiple ways. Choose the direct method, partial forced air, or full forced-air technique. Few vaporizers give you the option to do all three, but an Arizer Q (about $240) comes ready for multiple uses.
The whip is for direct-use (sucking). There is a forced-air assisted whip. Select the balloon method to enjoy effortless vaporizing.
Several models feature digital controls and others are analog-controlled (using a dial), but a few are available in both formats such as the Volcano by Storz and Bickel. Digital controls set the temperature more precisely and LED screens are pretty. Digital controls are more expensive than analog controls, however, and harder to replace when they wear out.
The Extreme Q adds another control option: remote control. Set temperature remotely or operate controls on the machine.
Ceramic is possibly the best heating element material around. It is neutral, a decent conductor, and holds its temperature well. The Easy Vape 5 Digital Hands-free vaporizer comes in 4 colors and features a ceramic heating element. The air pathway, however, is made of glass on glass. While ceramic is best for heat, glass is best for vapor. It will not add smells or flavors to your vapor the way heat-resistant plastics do.

Finally hauled all the tools I need to build 2 ships to PLANET Pluto (Yep, I am one of TH0SE astronomers) and THEN some under the truck. Getting up and down to the ground is a major thing for me. Nudder story. Going to replace the center support bearing and its associated u-joint. Done this(tried) Friday and realized I wouldn't get it before sundown and stopped. Resumed Sunday afternoon and it is the first u-joint in my life I didn't get OUT, let alone replaced in 15 minutes or less,
Yesterday whilst bringing my pup out, I found a robin on the road. It wasn't bleeding, but it was struggling to get up. I wanted to help. I could see the fear in its eyes. We live off a busy road. Cars fly by way over the limit. I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to scare the little creature, but I knew if it didn't get out of the way fast it would be crushed and I couldn't bare the thought...so, I drove right into the road to try to protect it. I know; not smart. My only thought was to save

Chautauqua Theater Company: Noises Off
Tuesday, July 11, 2017
Location Bratton Theater
Event ticket required. Your theater ticket will admit you to the grounds. You do not need an additional gate pass.
Directed by Andrew Borba
Michael Frayn's Noises Off is a roller-coaster, side-splittingly funny look at theatre – both onstage and off – as a hapless troupe of actors attempt to mount a dreadful, ill-fated farce of a play. From the disastrous dress rehearsal as the cast fumbles entrances, exits and bothersome props, to the final performance of missed cues and forgotten lines, Noises Off will have you roaring with laughter as the cast's collective sanity slowly unravels. New York Times critic Frank Rich called it, "the funniest play written in my lifetime."
We recommend this production for the whole family, ages 10 and up.

The title says it all. Lets name and shame BOTH those players who exploit, such as the surrender-lag-exploit, and those players who are pointlessly offensive.
I suggest we the community who dont want to let exploiters destroy SE start a thread to name suspected exploiters (or hackers). Most common is probably the deliberate lag out when surrendering the statue exploit, now this often leads to a 'defeat' screen, and allows a replay to be taken.
Imagine a player who makes a habit of trying to use that exploit when being defeated, he's gona appear in this thread many times - losing, surrendering, then winner goes to defeat screen.
I would hope the devs/mods would be able to take an action - warning, ban etc against players with a significant body of evidence against them.
I would hope this thread could provide just that evidence.
So, if you think you were wronged by an exploiter, get a replay if you can and post it here. The guy cheated you, and you dont owe it to him to cover up for him - that makes you a willing victim and an accomplice, allowing him to exploit others in the same way!
If griefers and exploiters are not dealt with, they pose a serious threat to the long term health of the community and indeed the survival of the game. So step up and act to defend our game!
ETA the thread also identify known griefers, like semeshine mentioned in the thread 'jerks'.

Moon, Jupiter, and Aldebaran
A planet that may have helped give the Moon a pummeling huddles close to the Moon tomorrow morning. Jupiter looks like a brilliant star to the lower left of the Moon. They climb into view by about 2 or 2:30, and are high in the sky at first light. And to spice things up a bit, the bright orange star Aldebaran is about the same distance to the lower right of Jupiter.
Earth, the Moon, and the other planets of the inner solar system took a beating from giant asteroids during the solar system's first half-billion years or so. But a recent study by researchers at the NASA Lunar Science Institute found that it was especially intense at the end of that period — about four billion years ago.
The researchers studied the contours of craters around an ancient volcanic plain. The observations suggest the craters were formed by asteroids that were moving much faster than those that hit the Moon before or after.
The bombardment may have been triggered by changes in the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn. As their distance from the Sun changed, the gravity of the two planets — particularly Jupiter — kicked a group of large asteroids toward the inner solar system. Some of the asteroids then slammed into the Moon and Earth. Wind, rain, and the motions of the crust have erased any traces of this bombardment on Earth, but it's preserved in the craters of the Moon — the scars of an ancient pummeling.
More about the Moon and its companions tomorrow.

Money can be saved, but Time can't.
Money can be borrowed, but Time can't.
Everyone has the same time, 24 hours a day, It's very fair.
You can earn more money, but you can not have more time.
You can use time to make money, but you can not use money to buy time.
Perhaps often hear 'Time is Money'. But people who really understand the value of time know that time is more important than money. Use time in exchange for money? I believe that everyone can immediately come up with a way. Yes, that is work, but the effect is a significant difference. Most people should want to earn enough money one day earlier, and then had their own life, do what they want to do. Then if the best, but also make their own financial freedom and carefree. In order to get equal money with others, low-income people can only use their own time to make up. And the time is lost and gone slowly.
Time is our most precious God-given unique asset. The only people know how to use it can understand its extraordinary.
Changing the income structure is fundamental. Find and build 'systems and networks' to create passive income。
Earn salaries and work for others. Use Time in exchange for money with their own talent for others to create wealth. Less income and there is no time and financial freedom. The pursuit of security, stability. A group of fear of risks.
Self-employed, have a certain expertise and can work for themselves. With their ability to make money, high income and high spending. Get income each day when they work. Time in exchange for money. Such as: Self-opened doctors, taxi drivers ... and so on.
Business owners, have the ability to run their own business or profit system. Let the system work for themselves, through the system to leverage time and money for their own wealth. Do not have to work every day still have income. Have time and financial freedom.
Investors make money by investing, letting money work for them. With money for their own wealth, the source of income is a variety of investment income. But often have a high threshold and certain risks. Use money to produce more money. Have time and financial freedom.
1.「E」(Employee): People in 「E」 Employee Quadrant prefer that 'I am looking for a good stable job with Guaranteed, High salary and Good welfare'. 「Guaranteed」, this word is often used to respond to fear. People from the 「E」 quadrant will often use the word. Uncertainty will make them feel unhappy and certainty to make them feel at ease.
2.「S」(Self-employed): This is a group of people who want to 'do their own boss', or who like to 'do things for themselves'. These people are 'work on their own'. Usually when they face about money, a typical 「S」 does not like to let his or her income depend on others. In other words, if they work hard, they want their work to be rewarded. About money, they hold a fairly independent attitude.
3.「B」(Business owner): In the 「B」 business owner quadrant prefer that 'I'm looking for a new president to manage my company'. This type of person is almost the opposite of 「S」. Those real business owners like elites from the 「E, S, B and I」 around them. Unlike 「B」,「S」 does not like to delegate work because no one can do better. And the real 「B」 likes to allocate work. Motto of「B」 is: if you can hire someone to do things for you, and they can do better than you, why you do it yourself?
4.「I」(Investor): Investors make money with money. They do not have to work because their money is working for them. 「I」quadrant is the rich man's playground. No matter where people make money in which quadrant, if they want to get rich one day, then they eventually have to enter the 「I」 quadrant. In the 「I」 quadrant, the money becomes wealth.
Rich people find & build 'system or network', others just find a job.
