Clearwater Middle School recently completed its Pennies for Patients event that benefits the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. During the two week period dedicated for fundraising, the community, students, and staff were able to raise an outstanding $14,274.05, which included 158,914 pennies!
To raise money, students had the opportunity to purchase popcorn and Lipsuckers, wear hats, participate in carnival games, listen to music at lunch, and delay the start of first hour. Principal Peter Gustafson also volunteered to be duct taped to a pillar in support of the cause.
School officials appreciate all the families that dined at Unhinged Pizza on a night where 10 percent of proceeds went to the Pennies for Patients event. As a result, nine homeroom teachers followed through and took a whip cream pie to the face because their classes were able to meet the $500 classroom goal.
The staff of KleinBank also provided support in counting the collected donations.
Clearwater officials thank everyone who supported and donated to the fundraiser. Because of the joint efforts of the students, staff, and community, Clearwater Middle School placed second in the tri-state area for most money raised.
Officials look forward to adding to their $61,769.31 cumulative total next year.

Extra weeks of unemployment benefits reinstated
The federal shutdown in October generated one positive result, as it helped to lift the state's unemployment rate enough to reactivate nine weeks of long-term unemployment benefits that were shut off in August.
Despite Grays Harbor leading the state in unemployment with 10.9%, the figures are based solely off of state numbers.
Currently in Washington, jobless workers can claim up to 54 weeks of unemployment benefits, including 26 weeks of regular, state-paid benefits and 28 weeks of federally funded emergency unemployment compensation (EUC).
Nationwide, EUC is paid in a series of four tiers. All states qualify for tier 1, but tiers 2 through 4 are tied to a state's three-month average unemployment rate.
Washington triggered off tier 4 in April 2012 after the three-month average dropped below 9 percent, and tier 3 was turned off last summer after the three-month average fell below 7 percent.
When the October 2013 unemployment rate was factored in, the three-month average rose again to 7 percent. The federal Department of Labor has directed Washington's Employment Security Department to restart tier 3 on Dec. 8.
"It's ironic that the federal shutdown contributed to the rise in our unemployment rate and caused these benefits to be reactivated," said Employment Security Commissioner Dale Peinecke.
Unemployed workers who used up their benefits after Aug. 10 may become eligible for benefits beginning the week of Dec. 8-14.
However, everyone who is claiming unemployment benefits should be aware that the entire Emergency Unemployment Compensation program ends on Dec. 28, unless Congress votes to extend it.
The Employment Security Department is using a combination of email, robocalls and letters to alert potentially eligible customers about the change in benefits. Information also has been posted on the department's website: esd.wa.gov.
About 24,000 people in Washington currently are in EUC tier 1 or 2. Nearly 11,000 individuals may be eligible to claim tier 3 benefits.
Since the program was activated in July 2008, nearly $6.3 billion in emergency unemployment compensation has been paid to about 451,000 jobless workers in Washington.

Name: Jim Campbell
Blog: www.jimcampbell-lettering.co.uk
Currently working on:
Yikes. Lettering loads of stuff. Hook Jaw, Black Dragon and Black Ops Extreme for Strip; Hoax Hunters for Image; just finished Sweeney Todd for Classical Comics and should be starting The Importance of Being Earnest shortly; football/crime hybrid web-comic Keeper; Charmed and various Grimm Fairy Tales titles for Zenescope; Kronos City for Timebomb; Team M.O.B.I.L.E. for ROK. See? Loads of stuff.
Nothing for 2000AD, I should add. *Sulks*
First memory of 2000AD?
My mate Tim Shaw coming to junior school with the Biotronic Stickers from Prog 2 stuck to him. Parents bought me the occasional issue to shut me up on long car journeys over the next couple of years before I plucked up the courage to ask them place a regular order for it at the newsagents.
The first issue I got as a regular reader was Prog 104 -- Ron Smith's first Dredd, the start of the fantastic Strontium Dog story "Journey Into Hell"
Favourite Character or Story?
Gah. Have to say Judge Dredd, just for the consistency of the strip. There have been other strips that I've liked better than Dredd at various times over the years (Nemesis, particularly Books I, III and IV, Slaine, especially the McMahon stuff, DR & Quinch, Nikolai Dante, Caballistics) but Dredd's always there, the strip's always good, and often it's brilliant.
What do you like most about the 2000AD?
The subversive, anti-authoritarian bent it so gleefully instilled in a generation of kids under the guise of an action/adventure comic. That, and the sheer diversity and quality that it continues to deliver. I honestly wouldn't be the person I am today without 2000AD's influence at various stages of my formative years. And I wouldn't be working in comics, obviously.
What would you most like to see in 2000AD as it heads to its Forties?
I'd be happy to see Matt Smith continue to build on the phenomenal run he's put in as longest-serving assistant to Tharg. Give me the power to play Fantasy 2000AD editor for a minute, and I'd move the title to a more all-ages stance, mount a massive push in the high street and drop a wedge of cash on promotion; see if we couldn't bump those circulation figures up by twenty or thirty thousand…
If you worked on 2000AD, do you have an anecdote you'd like to shareabout your experience of Tharg and his minions?
I once submitted a script on disk (in those pre-email days) for which David Bishop memorably told me that he would have me shot in the head. Guess he forgot to say "sent to Mek-Quake"…

DNA study suggests Bigfoot exists?

I was trying to figure out how they made their female contribution vs male contribution determination. As expected, the researchers claim to have sequenced mitochondrial DNA (which can only come from the female/mother):
Ketchum said her team has sequenced three complete Sasquatch nuclear genomes and concluded the species is a human hybrid.
"Our study has sequenced
20 whole mitochondrial genomes
and utilized next generation sequencing to obtain three whole nuclear genomes from purported Sasquatch samples," she said in the release. "The genome sequencing shows that Sasquatch mtDNA is identical to modern Homo sapiens, but Sasquatch nuDNA is a novel, unknown hominin related to Homo sapiens and other primate species.
"Our data indicate that the North American Sasquatch is a hybrid species, the result of males of an unknown hominin species crossing with female Homo sapiens."
Genetic testing has already ruled out Homo neanderthalis and the Denisova hominin as contributors to Sasquatch mtDNA or nuDNA, she said.
"The male progenitor that contributed the unknown sequence to this hybrid is unique as its DNA is more distantly removed from humans than other recently discovered hominins like the Denisovan individual," Ketchum said.
It's very easy to propagate 'errors' in samples destined for DNA testing/sequencing because of the techniques used to deliver enough DNA with which to work (amplification through PCR). Researches attempt to isolate DNA from a specific sample, but if random cell becomes part of the mix, the sample is compromised. Amplification takes a single strand and then makes millinos of copies so that enough is available for the study. If you get contaminant DNA into the mix, you're not really looking at what you're thinking you're looking at.
Here's another article that questions the validity of the findings, thus far:
Because Ketchum has released no information at all about her findings (nor have they been examined by outside experts), it's impossible to evaluate the validity of her conclusions. But an important clue can be found in her statement that "Sasquatch mtDNA is identical to modern Homo sapiens."
If the mitochontrial DNA is identical to Homo sapiens (i.e., modern humans), then this suggests one of two options. The first, endorsed by Ketchum, is that Bigfoot ancestors had sex with women about 15,000 years ago and created a half-human hybrid species currently hiding across North America.
There is, however, another, simpler interpretation of such results: The samples were contaminated. Whatever the sample originally was — Bigfoot, bear, human or something else —
it's possible that the people who collected and handled the specimens accidentally introduced their DNA into the sample, which can easily occur with something as innocent as a spit, sneeze or cough.
No one outside of Ketchum's team knows how this alleged Bigfoot DNA was collected, from where or by whom. It could have been collected by the world's top forensics experts, or by a pair of amateur Bigfoot buffs with no evidence-gathering training.

Jamian Juliano-Villani: Very Very Visceral
"Being conscious of fucking up assassinates creativity," declares Jamian Juliano-Villani, a powerful force who charges into unknown territory. Her painting process is maniacal, she's hungry for data, voraciously reading, watching and absorbing stimulation, then filtering it through her mind and hand and into dynamic paintings that provoke weird feelings and intriguing confusion.

Sematech awaits $40M grant
A much ballyhooed state economic development grant program has failed to provide cash so far, holding up new jobs and research in Austin. Promised months ago, $90 million - including $40 million in grants to International Sematech in Austin for a job-creating research center - remains in state coffers. The delay has caught participants by surprise. In Austin, it has slowed the creation of the Advanced Materials Research Center, a joint effort among semiconductor research consortium Sematech and several Texas universities, including the University of Texas.

Re: The Avengers 2! The Official News and Speculation Thread - Upgrade section 4 -
You know, now that I've read this Whedon quote again, the prospect is pretty exciting. I'm not really attached to Hank Pym so I've never had a problem with him not being involved.
"We're crafting our own version of it where his origin comes more directly from the Avengers we already know about."
Maybe that means each of the Avengers will have a hand in creating Ultron. Tony builds him, Banner does some of the brain wave type stuff. Steve teaches him how to fight or something like that. Maybe Ultron is essentially the Avengers combined.
"I knew there was something wrong, it just took a while to dawn on me, or maybe I was just afraid to think it, but you survived the destruction because you caused it. Raina wasn't the only one changed in there, and I'm pretty sure the DNA results that I'm running right now will confirm that there's nothing wrong with the data in my head Skye, there's something wrong with you."

An erbium-doped fiber ring laser is modeled by use of the standard propagation and rate equations of a homogeneous, two-level medium. A numerical model is obtained by development of a spectral analysis of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers. This approach is modified to account for the cyclical propagation of the field in the ring laser. Numerical simulations provide interesting information on the spectral behavior as well as important characteristics of the cavity, mainly the lasing wavelength and output power. The model also permits the study of competing modes' gain and signal evolutions during the transient state of the ring laser cavity.

Program accreditation
National Association of Schools of Theatre
Program goal
The M.F.A. in Theatre offers concentrations in stage design/technical theatre and costume design, which comprise the professional option, and in literature and performance, which make up the pedagogy option. Focus areas in pedagogy include movement, performance, and voice and speech.
Student learning outcomes
The M.F.A. degree prepares students to either enter the professional field of design or to teach at the college or university level. Students will demonstrate theoretical and practical knowledge in their areas of focus, as well as in the core courses in history, literature and theory; and in teaching performance or production. They will be evaluated on their ability to teach undergraduates, a final thesis project and approval of a professional-quality design, presentation or publishable article.
VCU Graduate Bulletin, VCU Graduate School and general academic policies and regulations for all graduate students in all graduate programs
The VCU Graduate Bulletin website documents the official admission and academic rules and regulations that govern graduate education for all graduate programs at the university. These policies are established by the graduate faculty of the university through their elected representatives to the University Graduate Council.
It is the responsibility of all graduate students, both on- and off-campus, to be familiar with the VCU Graduate Bulletin as well as the Graduate School website and academic regulations in individual school and department publications and on program websites. However, in all cases, the official policies and procedures of the University Graduate Council, as published on the VCU Graduate Bulletin and Graduate School websites, take precedence over individual program policies and guidelines.
Visit the Graduate study section for additional information on academic regulations for graduate students.
Degree candidacy requirements
A graduate student admitted to a program or concentration requiring a final research project, work of art, thesis or dissertation, must qualify for continuing master's or doctoral status according to the degree candidacy requirements of the student's graduate program. Admission to degree candidacy, if applicable, is a formal statement by the graduate student's faculty regarding the student's academic achievements and the student's readiness to proceed to the final research phase of the degree program.
Graduate students and program directors should refer to the following degree candidacy policy as published in the VCU Graduate Bulletin for complete information and instructions.
Visit the Graduate study section for additional information on degree candidacy requirements.
Graduation requirements
As graduate students approach the end of their academic programs and the final semester of matriculation, they must make formal application to graduate. No degrees will be conferred until the application to graduate has been finalized.
Graduate students and program directors should refer to the following graduation requirements as published in the Graduate Bulletin for a complete list of instructions and a graduation checklist.
Visit the Graduate study section for additional information on graduation requirements.
Apply online at graduate.admissions.vcu.edu.

In addition to the general admission requirements of the VCU Graduate School, applicants must possess a bachelor's degree (theatre preferred). Students must present a portfolio of design work (both project and realized designs) as part of their application to the program. Professional experience will be considered. The program provides preparation for early to midcareer professionals to enter the field of either professional design or teaching theatre at the college/university level.
Degree requirements
In addition to general Graduate School graduation requirements, students are required to take 60 credit hours of graduate-level course work distributed among core courses, area of concentration and electives, including special topics courses. Students will also be evaluated on performance projects, production work and teaching. The program is usually completed within two to three years.
Pedagogy/literature concentration
Requirements of the pedagogy/literature concentration include 18 credit hours in core courses (including theatre pedagogy and production), 12 credit hours in the focus area and six credit hours of thesis/thesis project. The balance of credit hours will be in approved electives, which may include additional practica, research and production, or teaching internships. Students take four to six courses in their areas of concentration and additional related courses in performance (or in MATX/English courses).

For Immediate Release
April 12, 2013
RENO, Nev.- Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Cody Ross is scheduled to join the Reno Aces on Friday night to continue his Major League Rehabilitation Assignment, the organization announced today.
Ross suffered a left calf strain during Spring Training, and was placed on the D-backs 15-day Disabled List. After playing in six games with High-A Visalia to begin the season, Ross is set to join the Aces on Friday night for the home opener at Aces Ballpark.
The 32-year-old New Mexico native was a member of the 2010 San Francisco Giants World Series Champion team. The Detroit Tigers fourth-round selection in the 1999 draft, Ross is a .262 career Major League hitter 106 home runs and 422 RBI.
After spending 2012 with the Boston Red Sox, Ross was signed by the D-backs as a free agent in December.
D-backs infielder Didi Gregorius will also be continuing his Major League Rehab Assignment with the Aces. Gregorius was placed on the D-backs 15-day Disabled List with a right elbow strain, and has gone 3-for-12 in three games as the designated hitter for Reno.
Only a few hundred reserved seats remain for tonight's Aces home opener, so fans are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance. Reno native Whitney Myer will be singing the National Anthem, and new Wolf Pack Head Football Coach Brian Polian will throw out the first pitch. The night will be highlighted by a magnet schedule giveaway for 9,000 lucky fans, as well as the first Saint Mary's Fireworks Friday presented by KRNV News 4 with fireworks immediately following the game.
First pitch is set for 6:35 p.m. tonight, as the Aces take on the Sacramento River Cats, and gates will open at 5:00 p.m. to accommodate the large crowds. Tickets are on sale for Opening Weekend at Aces Ballpark, and all Aces home games, at RenoAces.com, by calling (775) 334-7000 or by visiting the Aces Ballpark Ticket Office.

Cointreau is a producer of Triple Sec, a type of orange liqueur. The history of Cointreau dates back to 1875, when Edouard Cointreau, son of a distillery owner in Angers, France, first distilled a clear spirit based on the maceration of dried bitter and sweet orange peels.
While Cointreau was not the first Triple Sec to be distilled, it is certainly the most popular, even though the words Triple Sec were dropped from the label years ago.
The Cointreau brand was bought in 1989 by Remy Martin, a producer of Cognac.
Cointreau is a clear, orange scented and flavored spirit that is 80 proof. It louches a bare opalescent white with the addition of water. Cointreau has a very pure, delicate flavor. Thhe orange peels that make up Cointreau are from Spain, Brazil, Haiti, and Ghana.
In 2008, Cointreau Noir was introduced, which is made with a base of Remy Martin Cognac instead of a neutral spirit base. It also is flavored with vanilla and nuts, and, like the original Cointreau, is 80 proof.
Some popular cocktails containing Cointreau
- Orangerie — Aquavit, Aromatized wine, Triple sec, Orange peel
- Deshler Cocktail — Rye, Aromatized wine, Peychaud's Bitters, Triple sec, Orange peel
- The Moonlight Cocktail — Gin, Crème de Violette, Triple sec, Lime juice
- Gun Club Shrub — Gold rum, Triple sec, Pineapple juice, White balsamic vinegar, Orange oleo-saccharum
- Dark and Orangey — Dark rum, Ginger liqueur, Triple sec, Orange bitters, Lime juice, Lemon peel

The Oakland Raiders will interview two Dallas Cowboys assistant coaches for their head coaching vacancy according to an ESPN.com and Associated Press report.
Oakland will interview Dallas assistant head coach/quarterbacks coach Sean Payton and offensive coordinator Maurice Carthon for its head coaching vacancy.
The Raiders fired their previous coach, Bill Callahan, after a 4-12 season.
Payton was the offensive coordinator for the New York Giants under former coach Jim Fassel, before he had his play-calling responsibilities taken away during the 2002 season. He left after that year and joined Bill Parcells' staff in Dallas.
Carthon has even longer Parcells ties. He played for Parcells as a member of the New York Giants from 1985-90. He then joined Parcells' staff in New England in 1994 as an offensive assistant and then was the assistant head coach/running backs coach for Parcells' New York Jets from 1997-99. Carthon spent two seasons as the Detroit Lions' offensive coordinator before joining the Cowboys last season.
Payton will be the third candidate to speak face-to-face with owner Al Davis. The Raiders interviewed Dennis Green before he took the job with the Arizona Cardinals and they also spoke to San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Knapp last week.

The Atlantic County Board of Taxation maintains information on real estate assessments for Atlantic County and is responsible for the property tax appeal process. This office maintains the property tax list books for all real estate property in Atlantic County. The tax list books contain information such as: property owner's names, addresses, block and lot and assessments. The office also maintains SR1A books that are records of every real estate sales transaction in Atlantic County. The Board of Taxation also tabulates the Abstract of Ratables and Equalization Tables for Atlantic County.
Last week the State of New Jersey issued revised instructions for form A-1 concerning property owned by business entities. Effective immediately:
If the petitioner is a legal entity, such as a corporation, partnership, LLC, trust etc., the appeal must be prosecuted by an Attorney-At-Law admitted to practice in the State of New Jersey, unless the subject property's prior year taxes were less than $25,000, in which case the petitioner can appear in his, her, or its own behalf.
Property owners may appeal their tax assessments by filing a Petition of Appeal and paying a filing fee ranging from $5.00 to $150.00 based on the assessed valuation. The filing fee schedule is as follows:
If the assessment appealed is:
Tax Assessment Appeal Petitions may be mailed or delivered to the Atlantic County Board of Taxation. Copies must also be mailed or delivered to the municipal assessor and municipal clerk in the municipality where the property is located. The filing deadline for the following municipalities is Monday April 3, 2017 at 4:30 PM:
Petitions for properties in the above municipalities must be received by our office before 4:30 PM on Monday, April 3, 2017
Because assessment notices for Atlantic City were delayed, petitions for properties in Atlantic City ONLY must be received by our office before 4:30 PM on Friday, April 28, 2017.
Port Republic City and Ventnor City Filing Deadline
Because of revaluation or reassessment, the filing deadline for properties located in these two municipalities has been extended this year. Petitions from Port Republic City and Ventnor City must be received by our office before 4:30 PM on Monday, May 1, 2017.
Comparable sales used as evidence in 2016 should have occurred between October 1, 2015 and October 1, 2016 between a willing buyer and a willing seller. Sales outside those dates will be given less weight. Please read the instructions and other documents related to tax assessment appeals on this page before completing your petition.
After an appeal is filed, a hearing will be scheduled and the property owner will be notified of the date and time to appear. The law requires only 10 days' notice of the date and time of the hearing. Every effort will be made to give the petitioners as much advance notice as possible.
Petitioners must file a copy of the petition and any attached evidence with the Atlantic County Board of Taxation, the municipal assessor of the town where the property is located and with the municipal clerk of the town where the property is located. The law provides that evidence such as appraisal reports and comparable sales data must be submitted to the Board and to the municipal assessor and municipal clerk at least 7 days prior to the hearing.
Adjournments will only be granted for serious reasons. Generally, only a serious medical condition or a vacation booked prior to the receipt of the hearing notice are sufficient. Requests for postponements must be made in writing and documentation must be provided for your request to be considered. All requests should be made immediately upon receipt of your hearing notice and addressed to the County Tax Administrator.
If a property owner is not satisfied with the decision of the Board of Taxation they may appeal to the New Jersey Tax Court. Instructions for filing a complaint with Tax Court are printed on the back of the Atlantic County Tax Board judgment.

Matt Walsh recently published an article urging early marriage.I was 24 when we met and got engaged and 25 when we tied the knot. That would make us pretty run of the mill by our grandparents' standards, but not anymore. These days we're practically a Ripley's Believe It Or Not exhibit.

But What If Your Husband Tells You Not to Submit?
When I write about submission, especially in the context of Debi Pearl's book, Created To Be His Help Meet, commenters frequently ask what Debi would say to a woman whose husband told her not to submit. I think we have our answer, or at least as close as we're going to get to an answer. It's an article by Debi's daughter Shoshanna Easling.

When Up Is Down and Down Is Up, Submission Edition
I recently came upon an old article explaining the concept of wifely submission. While I'm unsure who wrote it, and it appears to be from the 1990s, it's similar enough to the ideas taught by many evangelicals and fundamentalists that it bears addressing.There are a lot of misconceptions about submission and submissive people. Before we can intelligently consider what the Bible has to say on the subject of submissive wives we need to clear these misconceptions out of our way. Let me begin w … [Read more...]

He's just so out there that blogging against his teachings is easier than many other topics, somehow. It's also familiar, in a way. So today you get to find out how pastors and secretaries can be enemies to good, godly marriages.Both of these passages are from the chapter … [Read more...]

Has Gay Marriage Harmed this Writer and Her Children?
I recently came upon an article titled "Breaking the Silence: Redefining Marriage Hurts Women Like Me---and Our Children." I was intrigued, because I often hear or read that allowing gay and lesbian individuals to marry harms opposite-sex marriage, but I rarely find any case made for what that harm actually looks like, or how it is caused.

My First Crush
Growing up on the conservative Christian homeschooling culture of courtship and purity rings made a lot of things about boy-girl interactions different. Everything was ramped up, accelerated somehow.

I was homeschooled, but he wasn't. My mother and his mother knew each other from church. Finally, I got up the courage to ask him w … [Read more...]

The challenge: "Ignore the costs and just create the very best fat loss supplement possible."
The result: CUTTING EDGE™.
CUTTING EDGE™ is, quite simply, the UK's very best fat loss supplement. We have taken 10 exciting ingredients, shown to contribute to weight loss, normal nutrient metabolism, normal thyroid function and more, dosed them all at optimal levels and combined them to create this pioneering formula.
Unlike other fat loss products, where ingredient amounts are hidden by proprietary blends, CUTTING EDGE™ is completely transparent. The exact quantity of each ingredient is clearly listed – after all, you deserve to know exactly what you are putting into your body. If you compare the ingredient dosages, you will see that they are far higher than any other fat loss product on sale today. Just one example of which is Green Coffee Extract; this has been included at almost 40 times the amount of a leading competitor product.
CUTTING EDGE™ contains 180 capsules per box and has been designed to last exactly one month when used as directed. The capsules have been blister packed to pharmaceutical standards, preventing any chance of contamination and enabling easy to monitor product usage.
We appreciate that proclaiming CUTTING EDGE™ the UK's best fat loss supplement is quite a statement. Well, try it, and if you are not completely happy – we will give you your money back!*
CUTTING EDGE™ contains a massive 10 active ingredients. The most impressive aspect of this is that every ingredient in CUTTING EDGE™ is research-proven to help you achieve your goals, and is included in its optimal dosage and most bioavailable form.
Equally impressive is that CUTTING EDGE™ is not just packed with stimulants that actually serve no purpose in relation to fat loss. The ingredients in CUTTING EDGE™ utilise a number of different mechanisms of action, including: increased satiety (feeling of fullness, which prevents unnecessary snacking), lipid metabolism, thyroid function and improved digestion. This multi-pronged attack ensures that CUTTING EDGE™ delivers maximum results.
The CUTTING EDGE™ formula contains powerful ingredients, including: Glucomannan (3000mg), Green Coffee Extract (400mg), L-Phenylalanine (400mg), Caffeine (300mg), Cinnamon Extract (250mg), Peppermint Leaf Powder (50mg), Choline Bitartrate (50mg), BioPerine® (5mg), Chromium Picolinate (1mg – 2500% RDA) and Selenium Methionine 55mcg (100% RDA).
This is almost 4.5g of active ingredients. No other fat loss supplement is this potently dosed.
If you are not happy with CUTTING EDGE™, and have not used an unreasonable amount, simply return it to our specified returns address within 28 days of purchase. We will credit your customer account with BULK REWARD POINTS™ to the value of the returned product.
Glucomannan 3000mg: The highest quality powder derived from the Konjac plant. This water soluble fibre will help contribute to weight loss by increasing the feeling of satiety, therefore preventing unnecessary snacking. Glucomannan has also been proven to contribute to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels and improve gut and bowel health.
Green Coffee Extract 400mg: This popular supplement is taken from unroasted green coffee beans and has gained a well-earned reputation within the sports nutrition world. Containing a massive 50% Chlorogenic Acid, this premium extract is far more potent than competitor products, which contain only 20%.
L-Phenylalanine 400mg: This pure form of Phenylalanine is found in protein rich foods – L-Phenylalanine is a pre-cursor to the amino acid, Tyrosine.
Caffeine 300mg: An extremely popular stimulant, Caffeine has also been shown to reduce the RPE (rate of perceived exertion – how hard you think you're training), therefore resulting in you training harder for longer. Caffeine is also known for its effects on mental alertness, which can be very helpful for those adopting energy resisted diets.
Cinnamon Extract 250mg: Cinnamon is a spice that has been used in food for thousands of years.
Peppermint leaf powder 50mg: This widely known mint, is an ancient herb; its characteristic smell has made it one of the most popular herbs for centuries.
Choline Bitartrate 50mg: Part of the B-Complex vitamin family, Choline is an essential nutrient found in foods such as egg yolks and spinach. Choline is a precursor of phospholipids that contributes to normal fat metabolism in the body.
BioPerine® 5mg: Nature's bioavailability enhancing thermonutrient, BioPerine® is extracted from the fruit of the Piper Nigrum L (Black Pepper) and is included in CUTTING EDGE™ to increase the absorption rates of all other ingredients.
Chromium Picolinate 1mg (2500% RDA): Chromium contributes to normal carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism. Chromium in the form of Picolinate has been specifically chosen for the CUTTING EDGE™ formula.
Selenium Methionine 55mcg (100% RDA): Extremely fast absorbing selenium bound to the amino acid methionine – Selenium has been shown to contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress as well as contibuting to normal thyroid function.

We are a worldwide social network of freethinkers, atheists, agnostics and secular humanists.
Thanks for sharing your story Matthew.
I walked away from long time friends because they were poison. I cut ties with family members because their negativity. Along the way I met and was able to know people with diverse backgrounds.
I can't imagine how difficult it would be to walk away from family, and friends you grew up with in a closed society.
You have friends here.
We all live with the death of loved ones.
Do you think the myth of heaven provides solace for the death of a loved one?

USS Manley (DD-940), named for Captain John Manley (c.1733–1793), was a Forrest Sherman class destroyer built by the Bath Iron Works Corporation at Bath in Maine. The keel was laid down on 10 February 1955. Manley was commissioned on 1 February 1957 and sponsored by Mrs. Arleigh A. Burke, wife of then Chief of Naval Operations, the principal speaker at the commissioning ceremonies, and with Commander William H. Rowen in command.
Manley departed Newport, Rhode Island on 11 April for shakedown in the Caribbean. On 7 June, Manley got underway from San Juan, Puerto Rico for a goodwill tour that took her to Lisbon, Amsterdam, Kiel, and Copenhagen. The destroyer returned to the Boston Naval Shipyard on 12 July for repairs and alterations.
Manley left Boston on 22 August 1957 and sortied with an attack carrier strike force destined for a large scale NATO Fleet Exercise "Strike Back." She arrived in the Firth of Clyde, Scotland on 14 September for a liberty stop. Three days later, she was underway conducting simulated war tactics as it steamed off the coast of Norway north of the Arctic Circle. After exercises with the carrier force, Manley returned to Norfolk on 24 October 1957. Later, assigned to DesDiv 41, she became the flagship for DesRon 4.
On 4 December 1957, Manley set sail for a tour with the Sixth Fleet accompanied by the Gearing, McCard, and Vogelsang. Manley practiced simulated antisubmarine warfare attacks with the squadron while en route but was diverted on 11 December through heavy seas toward the Azores where an aircraft had been reported down, Manley took her position in a futile search. In the early morning hours of 12 December, the destroyer was broadsided by a tremendous wave, killing two, injuring several others, and impacting heavy damage to the galley, radio and radar rooms when she suffered flooding. Enduring northwesterly gusts up to 80 knots, Manley battled through heavy rain squalls and mountainous seas toward Lisbon to arrive at night on 13 December for emergency treatment of the injured and repairs to the vessel. She moved to Gibraltar on the 18th and underwent voyage repairs in the Royal Dockyard of Gibraltar until 4 January 1958, then headed via Bermuda for Norfolk arriving on the 15th. Eventually, she entered the Naval Shipyard in Philadelphia for more permanent repairs. Four months later on 29 April, Manley returned to Norfolk and resumed her role as the flagship of DesRon 4.
On 6 June 1958, Manley set sail with the squadron for an Atlantic Fleet operation that included midshipmen training, implementation of the President's people-to-people programs, and visits to foreign ports of call. She visited among other ports, Kiel, Germany and Copenhagen, Denmark, and Antwerp, Belgium while escorting the aircraft carrier USS Lake Champlain (CV-39).
Returning to Norfolk on 2 October, she was soon underway with the USS Intrepid (CVA-11) to join the Second Fleet in maneuvers off the coast of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Following those operations, she took her position as plane guard for the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CVA-42) during operations up the eastern seaboard to the Virginia Capes.
The first half of 1959 saw Manley with the Surface Antisubmarine Development Detachment at Guantanamo Bay. On 1 March, Manley's and DesRon's Four homeport was officially changed to Charleston, South Carolina. After six months of upkeep and maintenance, the squadron was underway for the Mediterranean and anti-submarine deployment. She participated alongside her British counterparts in "Long Haul," and with the French in operation "Boomerang."
After an extensive overhaul in the Charleston shipyard, Manley was again underway on 21 July 1960 for firing exercises off Culebra Island in the Caribbean. On 27 July she took her position at station number five on the Atlantic Missile Range for the test firing of a Mercury space capsule. Then, she headed eastward to Cardiff, Wales and participated in experimental antisubmarine warfare patrols and attack team exercises en route to stateside. After completing a short stint of operations off the coast of Jacksonville, Florida, Manley turned for Pollensa Bay, Majorca. Joining the USS Forrestal (CVA-59) task force at Beirut, Lebanon, she joined in Sixth Fleet maneuvers.
In November, she rendezvoused with the Franklin D. Roosevelt to take part in patrols south of Hispaniola. Early in 1962, the destroyer spent a fortnight on Project Mercury operations followed up a week later underway in support of the Independence in night operations in the North Atlantic. Twice within three days her crew rescued downed pilots at night. One of those pilots, now retired Captain Bill Brandel of Fairfax, Virginia, appeared at the Capitol 2001 Reunion on Sunday, 28 October 2001, nearly thirty years later, to extend his gratitude to several of those who participated in his rescue.
On 28 September 1962, Manley headed for Guantanamo Bay for refresher training and rescued a downed helicopter pilot. She spent most of October and November operating in the waters of Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis. While returning home, the destroyer again came to the rescue of three men of yacht, Avian, adrift in the Atlantic.
Late in January 1963, she sailed to the Caribbean for operation "Springboard '63." After ASW exercises with the USS Essex (CVS-9), joint Canadian-American ASW exercises took her to Halifax, Nova Scotia. In October, Manley again departed for a Mediterranean deployment. She was honored to be selected as SIXTH Fleet's flagship during a three-day visit to Tunis. In December, she saw operations with the Middle East Force. On 13 January 1964, Manley dispatched her then Executive Officer, Lieutenant Commander Joseph E. Murray, Jr. to negotiate with armed rebels in Zanzibar. Along with a small band of sailors, Murray successfully walked away with 91 American citizens held hostages by the guerrillas.
Following routine upkeep in Charleston, she resumed operations off the Atlantic coast in May and on 6 January 1965 returned to the Mediterranean, representing the United States during the tenth anniversary celebrations of CENTO in Iskenderum, Turkey. During her homeward voyage, Manley spotted the collision of Kaskaskia and the Liberian tanker SS World Bond near St. Helena. Manley rescued 23 World Bond passengers and crew from the murky waters. Her emergency teams fought on board fires and flooding and saved the ship.
On 9 August, Manley took her recovery station for the space flight of Gemini V. For the next year, she operated in various combat scenarios off the Carolina coasts in preparation for then unknown operations in Southeast Asia. Departing Charleston on 5 October 1966, she joined DesRon 20 at Gitmo, and soon afterwards set her bow for Vietnam. En route, she assisted the ill captain of the Greek merchant ship, Marcetta. On 21 November, Manley relieved USS Hull (DD-945) in Da Nang as a unit of TU 70.8.9, a gunfire support group of the Seventh Fleet. Manley provided distinguished support of the ground forces until 7 December when a powder case ignited in the breech of mount 51, her forward gun mount. The resulting fire and explosion tore the mount apart and endangered the magazines. Damage control snuffed out the blaze before extensive damage occurred. The casualties were evacuated by helicopter and the destroyer steamed to Da Nang to disembark the visiting Senator Henry M. Jackson.
After Subic Bay repairs, Manley joined up with Enterprise (CVAN-65) and Bainbridge (DLGN-25) in the Gulf of Tonkin and operated there until assigned to TG 77.4 for ASW work with Bennington (CVS-20). Awarded the Navy Unit Commendation for sustained meritorious service in operations against the enemy during her deployment in Southeast Asia, Manley returned to an open-armed reception in Charleston in May 1967.
After a brief stay in her homeport, Manley again departed for the Western Pacific and combat duty in September. Her second Vietnam engagement was to last eight and one-half months until she returned to Charleston in June 1968.
The destroyer was decommissioned on 31 January 1970 to undergo prolong antisubmarine warfare modernization at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. Extensive improvements to sensors, weaponry, communications, and crew habitability were accomplished and on 19 April 1971, she was recommissioned and joined CruDesFlot 4 in Norfolk. Following her shakedown deployment in Guantanamo in the spring of '72, Manley joined DesRon 12 and took part in the program to forward deploy ships in overseas homeports. DesRon 12 and Manley entered their new homeport, Athens, Greece, on 1 September 1971. During the next thirty months, she was called upon frequently to participate in speed contingency exercises: the October 1973 Arab-Israeli and Cyprus crisis of 1974. Manley became the first United States warship to visit Izmir, Turkey in December 1973. On 22 July 1975, the destroyer headed for a scheduled upkeep and maintenance in Philadelphia and in December 1976, was home ported to Mayport, Florida.
After finishing refresher training in March 1977, she commenced operations as a unit of the Second Fleet followed by a Sixth Fleet deployment from November 1977 until July 1978. Her operating cycle was continued with another Med and Northern Europe run. On 1 October 1979, the crew became designated "Blue Noses" when they crossed the Arctic Circle.
With an increasing naval presence in the Caribbean Sea, the destroyer operated throughout the area visiting Curaçao, Antilles, Limón, Costa Rica, and Santo Tomas de Castilla. In 1980, she departed Mayport for overhaul in Boston. Following a successful refit and sea trials, Manley was assigned to Newport, Rhode Island and conducted workup ops in the Narragansett area preparing for REFTRA in Gitmo.
From 3 April to 3 May, she conducted FEDEX(?) operations in and around Puerto Rico. On 8 June 1982, the USS Manley departed for what was to be her last cruise. She visited all of the Med ports, assisted in evacuation of civilians from Beirut, Lebanon during terrorist activities, and transited the Indian Ocean arriving after fifty days at sea in Karachi, Pakistan. From 16 October until 24 November, she joined in MidEastFor exercises. At long last, the Lady headed home arriving on 22 December in Newport to commence decommissioning. On 4 March 1983, the USS Manley (DD-940) was struck for the Navy's active rolls.
When the Fore River Shipyard and Iron Works went bankrupt in the early nineties she was resold to N. R. Acquisition Incorporated of New York City by the Massachusetts Bankruptcy Court and scrapped by Wilmington Resources of Wilmington in North Carolina.

Think about it --
The ad starts with a school teacher (very furtive) dashing out the door of the school, tooling up a creek into the woods, looking around, and then hunting his hawks (amazing action shots), with the "branding shot" shown above. The bit would close with the Voice Over Guy saying "Jeep: American Made," and the pictures showing you sneaking back into the real world in order to pick up the kids at soccer practice.
God bless America, and "honey, let's get us a jeep."
Story told, Jeeps sold!

1. Spike MR is a pure fire & forget system. Spike ER (e.g. chosen for the Spanish TIGER helicopters) has a so-called fire & steer mode in which the operator can launch the missile
without pre-locking onto the target and steer it manually towards the target (lock-on after launch). In contrast to that the TRIGAT/PARS 3 LR for the German Tiger helicopter is a pure fire & forget weapon.
2. Please find new information about the "performance" of ADAPTIV at http://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/technik/0,1518,784670,00.html. Looks like it's not as sophisticated as touted. - Anonymous8 September 2011 at 16:59

This looks to be a real simple system of Peltier effect coolers in a grid, I could make this at home with parts surplussed from Amazon.com I wonder if there is a backplane heat exchanger or if this just proof of concept and endurance is not a factor.

And, as always, the West is the eternal bridesmaid!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADtxyHzuin8 It seems strange to put this on a tank due to the limitations it has concerning relative motion and orientation between the cloaking unit and the hostiles.
Doesn't it make more sense to keep systems of this sort at more fixed installations that can erect good optical cammo and that primarily try to avoid (long range) aerial detection?
I imagine it would be best used for hiding things in fields or other places that people are accustomed to assuming nothing very much can hide in.
Another use is to provide false targets, maybe it is cost effective to use the system to simulate a poorly concealed repair depot or an infantry force crossing a field at night (by having some properly concealed mechnized units dragging a coat of simulated units after it, hoping the opposition spots it)
