As a green follower, I always wished to obtain my own backyard garden after I have a decent home and then proper lawn to develop. A wonderful yard will always be restful and bring an optimistic energy for me personally. I am Gordon Rudolph, this moment, we shall begin reviewing and talking about 0 fantastic landscaping layout over the subject of modern landscape design. I do wish once we are done viewing each of these footage, we can get a whole new frame in mind and then fresh new perception regarding perfect gardening. For that reason, the below Landscape Design tips and hints can also be extremely useful.
Before you go around and buying materials to your landscape designs projects, it is better to create a plan of action firstly. When you have a proper knowledge of what you need to obtain, and then specifically where it would put in the landscape layout, you would stay clear of over buying supplies. Ultimately, this will help you save money, time not to mention the stress generated during the project.
On gardening, diversity for the vegetation is a crucial concern. Tend not to put an excessive amount of the same plants and flowers on your garden only if it actually is a variety of plants and flowers which can endure every type of conditions. In the event you put the similar variety of plants across the garden and so they fail during an off-season you will end up stuck with an unfilled landscape, which is seriously unpleasant.

Think the Cote D'Azur. Think the 60s. Think of an actress with a blonde, curly bob bathing on the beach in Cannes; cue high-waisted bikini bottoms, towelling dresses and nautical stripes. Now imagine all of the previous together and you have Heidi Klein's SS12 collection before you.
Inspired by the likes of Brigette Bardot and Grace Kelly, Heidi Klein has created a collection to die for. The combination of classic, signature silhouettes and disparate prints and textures works well. My favourite design, the turquoise coral pattern, captures the the essence of the Mediterranean.
Another aspect of the timeless collection that I loved was the support which is offered in every piece. The elegant shapes are designed with hidden padding and under wiring, which offers an immediate boost for everyone and creates a perfect fit.
The collection will be available from early on next year. Heidi Klein's shop-in-shop, at Liberty, opens November 2.

The Feminist Case for Obama
Reading last Sunday's Outlook section, I found myself under attack from word one. Before I had finished my morning coffee, I had read that I -- and millions like me -- were stupid, fickle, elitist and hard-hearted.
Charotte Allen, in her now-infamous essay, argued that she and I and all others of our sex were naturally inferior to men. Linda Hirshman, in an essay that ran beside Allen's under the shared headline "Women v. Women," condemned me and all other feminists and college-educated women who voted for Barack Obama as being callous and capricious. While the Allen essay understandably grabbed the lioness's share of the attention, the Hirshman piece is by far the more damaging of the two.
However outrageous Allen's claims, they're pretty easily put into perspective by a glance at Allen's record as a right-wing opponent of all things feminist. Hirshman, however, makes her claims as a feminist, and then tars fellow feminists -- those who vote differently than her -- with the right's "liberal elitist" brush. For flourish, she uses the sexist technique of ridiculing two women prominent in the Obama campaign by focusing only on their physical attributes. (Maria Shriver is reduced to a description of her hair, while Michelle Obama is mentioned in the context of her fashionable shoes.)
Feminists who support Obama, Hirshman writes, care little for the working-class woman. Their votes reflect nothing more than a "turn to solidarity with their own class." The same goes for college-educated women of all stripes who support Obama, all of whom are presumed, in Hirshman's argument, to be well-off, be they social workers or administrative assistants. If we cared for the working-class woman, she says, we would vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton because she was the first of the two to offer a paid family leave proposal and proposes a "slightly more generous" health plan than does Obama. If we vote on the basis of, say, something as esoteric as foreign policy, we're being elitist, because presumably everybody knows that foreign policy has no bearing on the life of the working-class woman.
I don't know who Hirshman thinks is fighting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. But to dismiss Obama's stance against the war (and Clinton's vote to authorize President Bush's foray in to Iraq) as merely the high-minded concerns of narcissistic elites is perhaps not the best way to express solidarity with the class from which many of those fighting the war are drawn. It also smacks of the implication that foreign policy is too complicated a subject for the working-class woman to understand.
The notion that not rewarding Clinton for being "first" with a paid family-leave proposal somehow hurts working-class women is just silly, given Obama's own proposal. As for the "slightly more generous" health care plan proposed by Clinton, it works via a mandate that is legitimate fodder for debate, especially among the working-class people who would most feel the sting of the stick in this carrot-and-stick approach.
Her assertion that women who vote for Obama vote against their own economic self-interest essentially holds no water.
The feminist rationale for an Obama vote is really quite simple: My grand-niece. Your daughter, if you have one. All the little girls who are growing up at a rather grim hour in American history.
Our nation is sinking deeper into recession. We are mired in a bloody, intractable conflict in Iraq, and may be losing the war in Afghanistan.Our beloved Constitution has been raped and pillaged. Instability and the specter of war threaten every continent. Climate change is hard upon us.
In difficult times, inspiration matters.The ability to lead lies less in the details of policy than in the ability to call people to sacrifice and courage, and to get them to comply. I'm not absolutely certain Obama can do that, but I'm pretty sure that it's not Clinton's strong suit. And given the similarities in their policies, I've cast my lot with him.
Don't get me wrong; symbols do matter. As a feminist, I've waited a long time to see a woman come this close to winning the presidency. I have hoped against hope to see a good, liberal woman lead this nation before I die. In the voting booth on primary day, I stared at the ballot for a long time before I marked it for Barack Obama. It was a painful mark to make. Painful because Hillary Clinton is an extraordinarily dedicated, intelligent and talented public servant. Painful because at another hour, she would have been just what the doctor ordered for a nation in need of fixing.
But the moment in which policy solutions alone offered a cure has passed. In 2008, fixing is out and healing is in.
I stood in that voting booth and thought of my newest grand-niece, born only weeks before the District of Columbia presidential primary. Who, I thought, could best convince the American people to move forward in the interest of a common good, so that our nation might pass through this perilous time, to thrive once more by the time baby Julianna comes of age? For my grand-niece to enjoy the equality that has evaded women of my generation, the nation will first have to survive. The Constitution will need to be restored. Tasks such as these require the gifts of a brilliant orator more than the skills of a policy genius. I blinked back the tears and voted for the man. (Now, if he would promise to put a woman on the ticket, I would feel much better about the whole thing.)
I take no issue with the feminism of women who disagree with my choice. I do, however, take issue with those who disparage my character as their explanation for my choice. I came to feminism for its promise of freedom. Surely, self-proclaimed feminists owe the rest of us no less.

MEDIA, Pa. - March 20, 2013 --Pennsylvania State Police say a man behind bars in Delaware is responsible for a string of bank heists in the Keystone State.
Authorities have charged 37-year-old George Myers with four counts of robbery.
They say surveillance footage shows he is the man who held up four Delaware County banks in November and December.
Myers was nabbed in Delaware after a bank robbery in February.
He's also charged with three bank robberies there.

despite being a committed catholic, my OH has started doing a Tai Chi course for relaxation. She has to say the least gone a little overboard, even to the extent of constructing a small shrine in the back garden. Last evening after a wonderfully sunny day, we sat and drank a small glass of a slightly chilled rose wine in ront of the shrine with candles lit as the darkness enveloped us.. Of course I couldn't resist getting the camera out. Not quite in focus but it was a very long exposure and I guess I didn't keep it as still as I imagined, despite using a support.
She has been buying all the gear; a silk suit, a wooden practice sword, videos and CD's. It isn't giving me very much to relax about. Here's a piccie, afraid you will have to supply your own wine, LOL
The good weather seems to have deserted us today, still warm but quite cloudy. Rain forecast for tomorrow, but that's our lot in the UK. The weather never stays the same for long.

Bob Hope has been entertaining American combat troops for nearly 50 years, but he never made a road trip like the one this year. Not only are reporters forbidden to report the location of his Operation Desert Shield shows; they are forbidden to report all his jokes. It is said that his brand of humor ("This is Bob -- '110 in the shade and no beer allowed' -- Hope, and I wanna tell yah. . .") might offend or insult deeply religious Saudi Arabians -- and be used by Iraqi propagandists to create Arab resentment of the United States and of our Arab allies.
We find this censorship strange. For one thing, NBC is taping the shows and will broadcast a special on Jan. 12. For another, some of Mr. Hope's famous gags rely on such a very special American decoding of his sly and brilliant combination of leer, wink, whistle, shrug, mock innocence, double take and double entendre that the best cryptanalysts in Baghdad wouldn't even know that local mores were being mocked.
The Hope tour was also forbidden to take scantily clad female singers and dancers into the Arabian desert. This restriction is understandable, since Saudi women must be veiled and their bodies covered in public. It is probably a harmless restriction, too, since no power on earth can keep Bob Hope from communicating the idea of the pinup to the imagination of GIs.

President Bush has been widely reported as referring to yesterday's shoe-throwing incident as the kind of thing that happens in a free society. It's not clear whether the President was referring to the act of the shoes being thrown, the thrower being promptly beaten to a pulp by local security, having him held without charges in the Prime Minister's residence, or the potential two-year jail term that goes along with the crime of "insulting a visiting head of state."

The Hamdan Verdict
Sometimes the only thing that separates comedy from tragedy is the involvement of an actual living human being.
That certainly seems to be the case where today's military commission verdict in the trial of Salim Hamdan. Despite having the advantages of what we must, for the lack of a better word, call a legal system that was set up to give the prosecution the edge, despite the admission of hearsay evidence, despite the use of material taken from interviews that didn't come within a light year of the Miranda guidelines, and despite the use of secret prosecution testimony, the prosecution was unable to secure a conviction on the charges that Hamdan conspired to commit terrorist attacks.
He was, however, convicted on charges of providing material support (his services) to a terrorist organization. That part of the verdict is hardly a surprise, given that Hamdan admitted to being Bin Laden's driver.
Now you might think, as the White House apparently did, that anyone capable of driving Bin Laden's car must be a criminal mastermind, capable of planning devious attacks on unsuspecting civilian targets. Or, if you are less well grounded in the ideologically driven world, you might wonder if Bin Laden really needed much more in a driver than someone capable of understanding how and when to use the pedals, gear shift, and steering wheel. The question, of course, is how to tell which possibility actually fits Hamdan.
Birthday Quotes 4: A past Republican's thoughts might just apply to a current Republican's actions.
It's easy to think of Lincoln as being a left-wing sort of guy, what with that whole emancipation thing, but it's sometimes worth remembering that he was also a wartime Republican President. With that - and current events - in mind, here's something from a letter Lincoln wrote to a friend of his while he was a Congressman. The letter details the reasons for his opposition to the Mexican-American war:
Allow the President to invade a neighboring nation whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such purpose, and you allow him to make war at pleasure. Study to see if you can fix any limit to his power in this respect, after having given him so much as you propose. If to-day he should choose to say he thinks it necessary to invade Canada to prevent the British from invading us, how could you stop him? You may say to him, -- "I see no probability of the British invading us"; but he will say to you, "Be silent: I see it, if you don't."
The provision of the Constitution giving the war making power to Congress was dictated, as I understand it, by the following reasons: Kings had always been involving and impoverishing their people in wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people was the object. This our convention understood to be the most oppressive of all kingly oppressions, and they resolved to so frame the Constitution that no one man should hold the power of bringing this oppression upon us. But your view destroys the whole matter, and places our President where kings have always stood.
Terrifyingly prophetic, isn't it.
Mental Health and the Rapidly Breaking Army
It's safe to say that 2007 wasn't the best year of US Army 1st Lt. Elizabeth Whiteside's life. She started off the year with a bullet wound to her torso that damaged, among other things, one lung, her liver, and her spleen. She ended her year as an outpatient at Walter Reed, waiting for her superiors to decide whether or not she would have to stand court-martial for inflicting that wound upon herself. In between, she had to recover from her physical wounds, learn to deal with the inner demons that led to them, she had to deal with superior officers who believed that she would be more appropriately handled as a criminal than a patient, and cope with a system that constantly threatened soldiers with mental illness with discharge and no benefits. It's not entirely clear that 2008 is going to be a better year for her. On Tuesday, the Army announced that they were dropping all charges against her. At the time of that announcement, she was in intensive care, recovering from a second failed attempt to take her own life.
In the note that she wrote before swallowing whatever pills she had around her, she said that she was "very disappointed in the Army". It's hard to find any reason for her not to be disappointed. The Army's treatment of her has been absolutely abysmal. Unfortunately, the same can be said for many other soldiers and veterans. Although the Army has been working to improve mental health care, the system is not where it needs to be, and faces no shortage of hurdles along the way.
According to the December 2, 2007 Washington Post article that first presented Lt. Whiteside's case to the public, there were a number of things that happened in Iraq that may have contributed to her mental illness and suicide attempt. I'm not going attempt to discuss that, or, for that matter, the exact actions she took in Iraq that her commanders at Walter Reed felt were so egregious as to warrant criminal prosecution. No matter what happened in Iraq, the things that happened when she returned to Walter Reed very clearly demonstrate some of the problems that the Army is having when it comes to handling mental health issues.
The problem that Lt. Whiteside's case illustrates most clearly involves the attitude that too many career combat arms officers have toward soldiers with mental health issues: they're an excuse, not an illness.
The Attorney General and the Torture Question - How did we get here?
In all of the fuss about the imminent confirmation of a man who says he can't judge whether or not strapping someone down and pouring water over them until they think they're drowning is torture, there's an important question that I think we've lost sight of: how on earth did we wind up in this position in the first place?
How is it even possible that we are having discussions about what is and is not technically torture? How is it possible that we are listening to Senators ask a nominee for Attorney General to take a position on whether or not certain "interrogation techniques" are torture in the first place, and how is it possible that anyone, much less the person who nominated him, thinks that it is OK for the nominee to dodge those questions. How the hell did we get to a spot where we find ourselves (understandably) skeptical of the President when he firmly declares that the United States does not torture?
More importantly, how do we get out of here?
The scary thing is that this is probably one of Bush's better nominees.
President Bush announced today that he has (finally) named a nominee to replace Jim Nicholson as head of the Veterans administration. His choice, retired Lt. General James Peake, is probably one of the more qualified people that this President has ever nominated to do anything. That's the good news. The bad news is that's not a very high bar to clear.
Seriously, though, Peake certainly has the qualifications to run the VA. He's a West Pointer, he is a combat veteran who served in the infantry and was wounded twice in Vietnam, he's a medical doctor, and he was the Surgeon General of the United States Army. As a nominee for VA Secretary, he's an absolute slam dunk. Or would be, anyway, if it wasn't for one very small problem: his old address.
From 2000 until 2004, while serving as Surgeon General of the Army, LTG Peake lived in a very, very nice house - the Washington Post has a picture - located on the picturesque grounds of Walter Reed Army Medical Center. The house sits across the street from the now-infamous building 18, and it sits directly next to the quarters of the hospital commander. During his time in residence there, General Peake managed to remain blissfully ignorant of the disastrous bungling of outpatient care that was taking place under the command of his next-door neighbor and subordinate, and literally at his doorstep.
It's certainly not fair to lay all - or most - of the blame for the problems at Walter Reed at General Peake's feet. The problems at that hospital did not take place under his direct command, and they certainly didn't end when he left. It certainly is fair to wonder whether that one factor should outweigh the balance of his outstanding career.
But it's also fair to wonder this: if he could not spot poor medical care being given to wounded veterans when it was happening in his front yard, how good a job can we expect him to do when it comes to spotting the same thing from farther away?
Sanchez on Iraq: Where the hell was he last week, last month, and last year.
I am certainly no fan of the Iraq war, but I found it difficult to read the media reports about retired Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez's recent comments on the war without getting angry. Reading the full text of his remarks took me from anger to outrage. As good as it is to hear an unvarnished, blunt assessment of the situation from someone who, as a former commander of the forces in Iraq, is very familiar with what happens there, I'm left wondering where the hell he was before he gave his little talk.
Let's look at some of what the little pissant had to say:
Since 2003, the politics of war have been characterized by partisanship as the Republican and Democratic parties struggled for power in Washington. National efforts to date have been corrupted by partisan politics that have prevented us from devising effective, executable, supportable solutions. At times, these partisan struggles have led to political decisions that endangered the lives of our sons and daughters on the battlefield. The unmistakable message was that political power had greater priority than our national security objectives. Overcoming this strategic failure is the first step toward achieving victory in Iraq - without bipartisan cooperation we are doomed to fail. There is nothing going on today in Washington that would give us hope.
Partisan politics, according to Sanchez, have been endangering the lives of the troops since 2003. It's 2007. Why the hell didn't the man speak up before now? Where the hell has he been for the last several years? I'll tell you where: from the time he left Iraq in 2004 until he retired late last year, he was in Germany, sitting on his worthless ass behind the desk of V Corps - rear, sulking about Abu Ghraib having denied him the opportunity to get that fourth star that he believed was rightfully his. He sat on his ass in a dead-end job for two whole years, hoping that Abu Ghraib would go away and he would get that fourth shiny star, remaining silent about problems in Washington that he now says were endangering the lives of troops on the battlefield.
It's doubtful, of course, that one more voice of reason - even a voice as authoritative as his - would have kept the White House from pursuing the war. But at least he could have tried, instead of sitting there selfishly waiting for the promotion that never came.
How Blackwater deals with US Military families: The crash of Blackwater 61.
A little after 7 am on 27 November, 2004, Lt. Colonel Michael McMahon and Chief Warrant Officer Travis Grogan boarded a small twin-engine airplane in Bagram, Afghanistan. The plane, which also had a cargo of 400 pounds of mortar illumination rounds, was operated by Presidential Airways, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Blackwater USA. Grogan was an experienced pilot assigned to the 3rd Squadron of the 4th Cavalry Regiment (the 3/4 Cav). McMahon was the 3/4ths commanding officer. At around 7:30, the plane stopped on the taxiway and a third passenger, 21-year old Specialist Harley Miller (also assigned to the 3/4 Cav), boarded the flight. The plane then departed Bagram for Farah, where the 3/4th was based.
Prior to takeoff, the crew informed the tower that they'd be taking off and heading to the south, flying at an altitude of 10,000 feet above sea level. Immediately after takeoff, however, the plane turned to the northwest. The flight left radar coverage shortly thereafter, still traveling on a heading other than the one that they had announced. The flight never arrived in Farah. Approximately 45 minutes into the flight, the airplane hit the side of a mountain at an altitude of approximately 14,650 feet above sea level. Five of the six people on board apparently died on impact. The sixth passenger, SPC Miller, survived the impact. He stepped outside the wreckage at least twice, unrolled a sleeping bag, and smoked a last cigarette or two before finally dying, alone on the mountainside in the wreckage while search parties scoured the wrong valley, at least ten hours after the crash as a result of a combination of his injuries, hypoxia, and hypothermia.
The transcript taken from the voice recorder gives some indication of why this crash might have happened.
How much is an Iraqi life worth? According to Blackwater and the State Department, $15,000.
According to the LA Times, the family of an Iraqi guard killed by a Blackwater employee on Christmas Eve has not yet received any compensation for the man's death. The reason? The office of Iraq's Vice President, which employed the dead guard, doesn't think that Blackwater is offering enough compensation. They're right.
For those of you who aren't familiar with the incident, here's a quick review: off-duty and apparently intoxicated Blackwater employee gets into "confrontation" with on-duty security guard for Iraq's vice president. Blackwater employee shoots guard 3 times, killing him. Blackwater employee then flees to a security post manned by another "contractor." He tells them that he's being chased by Iraqis who were shooting at him, but is so obviously drunk that the other guards confiscate his weapon. He's fired for being drunk and in possession of a firearm, and is on his way home within 36 hours. Within 8 weeks, he's been hired by another "contractor" and is working for the US government in Kuwait.
You Don't Need 60 Votes To Get Us Out of Iraq.
Every time I read articles (like this one, this one, this one or this one) that talk about how the Democrats are having problems getting the 60 votes in the Senate that they need to move Iraq legislation forward, or how they won't be able to get the 2/3rds of both houses that they need to beat a veto, I get angrier. And not with the Republicans who are standing in the way.
The Democrats don't need more than a majority. The President can't spend money unless Congress lets him spend money. If Congress passes a spending bill and he vetoes it, he can't spend money. If Congress fails to pass a spending bill at all, he can't spend money. All the Democrats need to do is stand their ground and refuse to pass any spending bill that doesn't require a firm timetable. That's all that they need to do.
The problem that we've got isn't overcoming Republican resistance. It's the spine of the Democratic leadership. They don't have one. They don't even have shells. I'd call them jellyfish, but even jellyfish can inflict a painful sting. No, we're talking sea cucumbers here - they've got no hard support, and if you stress one too much it reacts by expelling its internal organs all over you.
We've got to stop letting them slide. They're in the majority now, and that means that they shouldn't be able to get off the hook by claiming to be impotent in the face of the big bad Republicans. They've got the support of the public. They need to act like it if they want to retain it.

Is this build viable for HC mode as well?
Seriously, what you are saying does not make much sense. Vaal has a predictable rotation of skills, and it is all avoidable (except the rocks, but those won't one shoot this build). I have to say you are wrong, excuse me.
Exactly! Very good response, thanks.
Just quoting this beautiful post for more people to read it. Thank you ShadowyDream!
I decided to ignore all the Iron Grip questions; and I'm editing the OP right now to clarify it once and for all. I also ignored some of the "HC viability" questions; because it is quite obvious that this build aims to be very safe and bulky. I will check the OP if I can make that more clear as well.

Hey Venator, I just wanted to thank you for making this guide and answering the questions, this build has helped me a lot on my first char, I appreciate your time spent on this, thanks man.

Venator, is this build really gear dependent?
I would love to try this build but I am worried that I will have to farm forever to even get decent gear to get started.
I can say Marauder has a few advantages over Ranger in this build - Blood Magic, Static Blows, Templar starting point and a ton of HP nodes are closer and reachable faster. Other than that, if you want to take a look at "the great plan" at the end, it is exactly the same!
Nahhh, thank You for Your time spent reading the guide and giving positive feedback.
The build is gear dependent indeed; all you get from the passive tree are percentile increases or multipliers, and that means you need solid bases for it to count for something. However, no matter how much time you invest in farming your gear or trading in trade chat, you will really feel the effect of every single item you acquire. Just don't worry; play the game, play a character you enjoy and keep building upon what you already have! It doesn't take forever for anyone else, so it won't take forever for you either.

im 72 and this is my current build:
i wont be getting getting static blows anytime soon since now it takes forever to level and i require a lot of more sp's to reach static blows
Posted by Quitetriggered

Yah I have the same question about static blows, is it a must? does it increases dps by a lot?
Yes, Static Blows is one of the key points of this build. The DPS increase is 0.8 times on average, with a range between 0.4 and 1.2. Just because of Static Blows.

We see a great deal of awesome little kitchens, and the best ones have shrewd formats, amplified proficiency and smart combinations. If you opt for an expansive redesign, then you have a number of ideas and you may find people with different tips. But the important thing to consider is that you must be too careful to select the design which suits the entire building structure otherwise it would turn out to be quite casual. Here are some incredible ideas to turn your kitchen in to the most beloved place in your house. Due to small size, it becomes difficult to find good small kitchen designs.
Regularly the center point of the family home, the kitchen is a spot to assemble, cook, consume, snicker, do homework or pay bills. It takes careful creativity and integrated consideration of all the family members to make a multi-useful and stylishly small kitchen designs. Here is the means by which to take advantage of space you have.
White is your closest companion in a little kitchen. It reflects light, which upgrades the feeling of space and makes the dividers appear to subside. When you convey the white from the cabinetry to the ledges, dividers, and roof, you make a consistent space without edges or limits to stop the eye. Utilize a few shades of white and join differentiating compositions to keep an all-white room from feeling sterile.
Small kitchen designs are all about tricking the eye and deceiving the mind into intuition the space is greater. One approach to do that is to uproot some bureau entryways or supplant the strong fronts with glass. This pulls the eye past the bureau outlines into the profundities of the cupboards, so the dividers feel more remote away. This trap is best in the event that you can keep what's in the cupboards systematic and shading facilitated. Jumble has a tendency to make a room feel packed.

Chea Sokhon, a board member of STC said "the purpose of this event is to collect donations for Kantha Bopha foundation to help and support Cambodian children. On the night we raised $10,000 which is more than our expectation of $7,000." The event also featured a silent auction for paintings and raffles with many attractive prizes hosted by Yok Chinda, producer at CTN and MYTV Television. Photos by Hong Menea

We may never know what the founding fathers originally intended, but it is not what is going on in the United States now. We need reasonable gun laws, not many are suggesting we just simply take everyone's guns away. You want to hunt, hunt. You want personal protection, get a handgun. But take away the multiround guns and the ease with which people get them.
I have seen other debates about the rights of American's to arm themselves for protection and the main argument revolves around the ability of individuals to protect themselves. Problem is that this then makes it easy to obtain mass murder weapons so that a pissed off employee, a psycho student, a terrorist can get revenge in the worst way.
I was shocked when i visited family in California and took a trip to Big 5 and found lethal weapons sold in boxes that looked like they were packaged in a toy store. Ridiculous, the US needs to take a real good look at itself and outlaw any automatic weapons they are not necessary for hunting. You hardly find any automatic weapons at all in the UK and so when shootings do happen invariably it is one person that has been shot, not dozens.
The Second Amendment is a prime example of the American attitude of freedom: not the freedom to pursue life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but the freedom to do anything, for any reason at any time. The American public's collective attitude towards gun control has become akin to a child refusing to go to bed, screaming "you can't make me!" In December 2012, a shooter murdered nearly 30 children in an elementary school and no change came as a result of it. The country silently decided that kindergarteners being murdered was a price worth paying to keep their murder toys.
Only because the 2A stands in the way of a tyrannical government and people-control activist does the Constitution still exist today.
The only suicide pact is the minority of screaming gun-control activists that still cling to the idea that GZF sign will stop the next mass murder.
More State's has passed more LAX gun laws then those States that intentionally infringe on the Rights of others.
Today, Texans can Open Carry if they choose too. Florida in 2016 will likely have Open Carry. Today, 45 States has open carry laws!
It seems Americans favor exercising their constitutional Rights then the minority rich and powerful screamers.
The second amendment exists for a reason and that shouldn't change. That being said, there are many ways to obey that right and be safer. We need stronger laws surrounding gun ownership. If you simply take away the right to bear arms, do you really think bad people won't get guns? There will always be a black market.

The memorial to Tang Ying at Jingdezhen Ancient Kiln Museum. Photo Paul Harris
Tang Ying (1682-1756) remains to this day one of the great masters of Chinese porcelain and is commemorated at the Ancient Kiln Park in the porcelain capital of Jingdezhen.
He was born in Mukden in north China (now known as Shenyang) during the Qing era. He is also known as Jun Gong or 'Wo Ji Old Man'. In 1728, the sixth year of the Yongzheng period, he was appointed as an Associate at the Royal porcelain plant. He supervised the kilns until the 21st year of the Qianlong period. During the period of his supervision of the kilns, he developed an intensive knowledge of the techniques of manufacture of porcelain. The best of his examples are still identified as 'Tang Kiln porcelain'. He wrote several authoritative books about porcelain, including Tao Cheng Chronicle, Porcelain Making Illustrations, and Stories of Porcelain Makers. He also left behind a store of documents which today serve as primary source material.

The National Irrigation Administration has become well known in recent years for its innovative experimental programs for promoting farmer participation through strong farmer organizations. IIMI's first case study documents the experience of an irrigation management official, the author of this report, in an effort to organize irrigators associations (IAs) on the nearly half of the Magat River Multi-purpose Project area in a few short years. Most of these are now effective and active organizations. This experience is a valuable source of lessons and ideas for agency officials concerned with developing water-user associations on other systems.

A new online investment and trading service has entered the Australian market with the launch of Quicken.com.au in Sydney yesterday.
The name is probably familiar to Australian PC users: it's brought to Australia by the same company -- Intuit Australia -- as Quicken financial software. The service is also running in the US, Germany, Canada and the UK.
More than just an online trader, said Quicken.com.au's managing director Dai-Kyu Kim, "it is designed to be a much richer service". Aside from stocks, users can also buy managed funds, he said, and the service "wraps" all of the user's investments into one simple interface.
A $49 charge for each transaction (up to $250,000) applies, in addition to account keeping fees.
Intuit has plans to tie its Quicken software to the Quicken.com.au service, most likely enabling users to download their investment and transaction information to their PC.

A Phase II Trial of Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy With Weekly Docetaxel and Cisplatin for Locally Advanced Head and Neck Cancer
Many studies have shown the superiority of concurrent chemoradiotherapy over radiotherapy
only in locally advanced head and neck cancer. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy with high dose
cisplatin has been universally used regimen. In a large-scaled phase II trial, however,
conducted by the European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC),
docetaxel (100mg/m2) plus cisplatin (75mg/ m2) every three weeks regimen produced improved
survival, nonetheless there was significant limitation to deliver full doses of treatment
due to significant hematologic and non-hematologic toxicities. Previously, we showed the
safety of the combination regimen of weekly docetaxel and cisplatin in concurrent
chemoradiation treatment in a phase I study. We determined the MTD of docetaxel to be
20mg/m2 weekly when concurrently administered with conventional fractionation RT and weekly
20mg/m2 of cisplatin.
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Working as a self-employed, or freelance designer, I feel like we often forget that we have the ability to fire clients. Too often have I experienced disrespectful requests for large amounts of effort with no intention to pay, or with a severely truncated cost estimate.
This video sums up the feelings that many of my fellow designers experience when faced with challenging scenarios. Not only is it entertaining, but the video itself is artfully created with humor and purpose.
Keep in mind, you make beautiful, useful things everyday, and that is something to smile about.

Look Back in Anger (song)
|"Look Back in Anger"
|Single by David Bowie
|from the album Lodger
|20 August 1979 (US)
|7" single
|Mountain Studios, Montreux, September 1978; The Record Plant, New York City, March 1979
RCA Records
|David Bowie and Brian Eno
|David Bowie singles chronology
"Look Back in Anger" is a song written by David Bowie and Brian Eno for the album Lodger (1979). It concerns "a tatty 'Angel of Death'",[1] and features a guitar solo by Carlos Alomar.
RCA Records was unsure if America was ready for the sexual androgyny of "Boys Keep Swinging",[2] the lead-off single from Lodger in most territories, and "Look Back in Anger" was issued instead.[3] The B-side was another track from Lodger called "Repetition", a story of domestic violence. The single failed to chart.
"Look Back in Anger" has a mixed reputation among Bowie commentators. NME critics Roy Carr and Charles Shaar Murray have described it as "probably the low point" of the album,[1] while Nicholas Pegg considers it "one of Lodger's dramatic highlights".[3]
Beyond the shared title, the song has nothing to do with the John Osborne play Look Back in Anger.
Bowie performed the song on his 1983 Serious Moonlight Tour (it is the opening number on the Serious Moonlight film) and reworked it in the mid-1990s as a heavy rock song for the Outside and Earthling tours.
Track listing[edit]
- "Look Back in Anger" (David Bowie, Brian Eno) – 3:08
- "Repetition" (Bowie) – 2:59
Production credits[edit]
- Producers:
- Musicians:
- David Bowie: Vocals, Guitar
- Dennis Davis: Drums
- George Murray: Bass
- Carlos Alomar: Guitar
- Sean Mayes: Piano
- Brian Eno: Synthesizer, Horse trumpet, Eroica horn
- Tony Visconti: Backing vocals
Music video[edit]
David Mallet directed a music video for the song, featuring Bowie in an artist's studio. The scenario was based on the conclusion of Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, as a self-portrait of the protagonist grows more handsome while he himself physically decays.[4]
Other releases[edit]
- It appeared on the following compilations:
- Chameleon (Australia/New Zealand 1979)
- Christiane F. soundtrack (1981)
- Golden Years (1983)
- Sound + Vision (1989)
- The Singles Collection (1993)
- The Best of David Bowie 1974/1979 (1998)
- The Platinum Collection (2005/2006)
- In 1988 Bowie recorded a "new, brutal version of the song" with Reeves Gabrels on guitar and Erdal Kizilcay on bass and drums; it was the first arrangement Bowie and Gabrels collaborated on, taking place shortly before the formation of the band Tin Machine.[5] The recording was issued as a bonus track on the Rykodisc release of Lodger in 1991.

and what about Symbian Donna update?! Which was supposed to bring 720p screens and multi-core CPU to Symbian?
Do you guys have any info on that?
Many ppl see the mobiles by their OS. . . But whatever the os is . . I just love and trust nokia. . I dont care which os they are using . . I trust their customer service. . The quality, the innovation, . . . Etc. Nokia still rockzzzz. . . . But it S very slow in development. . .
AnonD-21645, 25 May 2012Why wouldn't you move on? We all love tech, and personally I'm on Android at the moment, I ... moreNot really. A phone needs to do what you need it to do. That's why people still use dumb phones. Plus you are forgetting that not everybody can afford powerhouses like HTC One X or Galaxy S3. Personally I will be a nokia user until android finally manages to come up with a phone that has a decent camera, they will never get close to pureview though(spare me the buy a DSLR if you want a good camera, I cant carry a DSLR everywhere).
Wat d hell you guys speaking out. . . . The above news says dat feature pack 1 will be out for belle devices in few days. . . . Then wats d update we Got recently for the three godammnn devices. . I think gsmarena s three months behind the clock. . . . . . . Whatever, i'm fed up wid d strategy of nokia. . . I think it cannot produce a dual core device even for 20 years from now. . . . . Gsmarena pls be clear. . . . Dont Confuse us. .
muhsen, 25 May 2012well the support for symbian has not been stopped yet.and we all know that nokia is the king o... morewhat about N900 support?
Cool, but that's nothing new.. My girlfriends 701 is running Belle FP1 since almost two months!!
Sorry, am I confused or am I the only one not confused??? This Italian guy said other day that Carla wont come as we thought it would, he went on to say Belle FP1 is nothing but Carla. This news says Carla is not cancelled it is Belle FP1. So my understanding is FP1 is Carla, and there is no further real update similar to Anna to Belle expected.
I updated my N-701 to FP1 last month so that means no further updates coming soon.
Other issue, someone please explain MS-Office 2.0 (with Word, Excel, PPT) was made available for Belle but removed for Belle FP1. So what is the status on that front?
real OS are supported for long time and even no longer supported , they might indeed run , secommenst below.
I still use a nokia 6030 to call and sms and im still a happy nokia user.
DD: Feature Pack 1 has already been rolled out to 2nd gen Symbian phones. my friend has it on his Nokia 701. so what update is coming?
AnonD-21645, 25 May 2012I'd say a platform is dead, whatever it is, on whatever technology, when whoever creates it st... morewell the support for symbian has not been stopped yet.and we all know that nokia is the king of support,every body who owns or has owned a nokia knows that!.just asks n9 users who r still geting updates and more to come for them and the 3 year old e72 just got an update as well!

We all love tech, and personally I'm on Android at the moment, I like it, but it's just an OS and they're all much of a muchness, but I'd like to think that whatever I'm using is at least current, will be upgraded and will feature more and more new and innovative features...
It's a shame people feel the need to cling on to dated technology, don't get me wrong, I love emulators and re-living glory days with C64 and Amiga and everything, but a phone is with you every day, it needs to be bang up-to-date, otherwise you're left behind...
And for what?
AnonD-21645, 25 May 2012I'd say a platform is dead, whatever it is, on whatever technology, when whoever creates it st... moreLet's agree to disagree, for me Symbian is and will be alive for many years, i don't need other platforms, actually i prefer S40 which is simple and some people will call it "dumb", but it gives me everything i need, now Belle is a good os IMO and it'll keep working for many people for many years, obselet or not, it doesn't matter, we will use it.
There is need for stories to be confirmed from the right source(just it is usually done when the affected party disagree with such)before its posted for information and readers to digest.The story on Carla update cancellation ,to say the least would have a lot of damages to all stakeholders,NOKIA inclusive.Retracting messages after being published only gives impression that that there may be anti-nokia war going on.Please check your facts well before it is posted .Thanks
it doesnt make sense ..we already have Belle FP1 update on Nokia 701/700/603
Ok, if FP1 is really Carla, does that mean FP2 is really Donna? And if that is the case, will FP2 be available for any current Symbian devices? Most rumors indicate Donna would only run on a dual core processor. If this is true, it would appear FP1 is the last significant OS update current Symbian devices are getting...
I own a Nokia 701 running FP1. Please note that FP1 DOES NOT give you Microsoft Apps. That was a separate update. Furthermore, if you did the FP1 update before the Microsoft Apps update, you lose the ability to get the Microsoft Apps update. Don't ask me why, you just do. If you want the Microsoft stuff, be sure to process that update before going to FP1.

This thesis presents an electrical system analysis of a wave energy converter (WEC) for the objective of grid connection. To transfer the enormous amount of power from waves to the load centers, efficient power electronic systems are essential. This thesis includes the modeling of a buoy–translator dynamics and the modeling of a linear permanent magnet generator along with simulation and experimental validation. Continue reading


text: Earlier today this was posted on the Sistar facebook page with the following message from Hyolyn "Remember that I told you to wait for me? This time who's next!!! If you are curious ^^ just wait for me." A lot of people are upset that they are using "Who's Next" when YG have done that already. Personally I don't really care, I love Starship and I love YG. The music and artists is what I care about not the fact that their marketing might be similar, so let's just enjoy good music ok :) Who else is practically drooling with anticipation???

text: MIAMI (MCT) -- When Jose Padilla was charged in a South Florida terror-cell indictment in November, U.S. authorities boasted their case was rock solid. But in a stunning decision, a federal judge in Miami has lopped a big chunk off of the indictment, saying the government wrongly overcharged the notorious former "enemy combatant" and two other Muslim men. In a written order released Monday, U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke threw out the first count of the indictment -- that Padilla and the others "conspired to murder, kidnap and maim persons in a foreign country ... to advance violent jihad" abroad -- saying it repeated charges from two other counts. The ruling also could wipe out possible life sentences if Padilla, Adham Amin Hassoun and Kifah Wael Jayyousi are convicted at trial, scheduled for late January. "There can be no question that the government has charged a single conspiracy offense multiple times, in separate counts, when in law and in fact only one alleged crime has been committed," Cooke wrote in an eight-page ruling. "The danger" in the indictment, she wrote, is that it violates the double-jeopardy clause of the Fifth Amendment, which prohibits the prosecution or punishment of a defendant twice for the same offense. The dismissal of a first count in an indictment is unusual, but does not mean the government's case can't be won on the remaining terror-conspiracy charge. Prosecutors and defense lawyers routinely spar over charges before trial, striving to gain a tactical edge before presenting their cases to a jury. The decision -- a major pretrial victory for defense attorneys Jeanne Baker, Kenneth Swartz, William Swor, Michael Caruso, Orlando do Campo, Anthony Natale and Andrew Patel -- was the latest blow to the government's high-profile case. The U.S. attorney's office is likely to appeal, which could delay the Jan. 22 start of the trial.

The last 28 regular-season games that rookie point guard Jordan Clarkson will play are just part of his developmental process the Lakers want to see.
They want Clarkson to continue on his path of becoming a better player by having him play in the summer league.
He already has shown signs of improvement by averaging 13.3 points, 3.9 assists and 3.1 rebounds in the last 11 games he has started.
"I'm still real excited about Jordan Clarkson," Coach Byron Scott said after practice Saturday. "I keep getting excited about that kid because his growth is getting better and better.
"I'm excited with the way he's played so far. He's come a long way in a short period of time. Obviously, like we've talked about, the summer is going to be big for him to continue to develop."
Scott also said he's looking forward to seeing rookie Julius Randle, who has been out since the first game of the season because of a broken right leg, develop over the summer as well.
Scott said he expects Randle, who has been working out on a stationary bike, to be healthy enough to play on the Lakers' summer league team in Las Vegas in July along with Clarkson and Tariq Black.
Scott said he expects that threesome to be joined by the Lakers' draft picks. They could have up to four picks — a top-five selection, a mid-to-late-20s pick in the first round and two second-round picks.
"I think the young guys that we do have, I'm excited to see them continue to grow as basketball players and get better," Scott said. "I already told Julius and Jordan, you guys should dominate [in the summer league]."
Clearing the air
When Carlos Boozer approached Scott at practice Saturday about not playing during Friday night's game, Scott re-assured the power forward he wasn't kept on the bench because Boozer missed practice Wednesday and not to think it was "personal."
Scott simply wanted to try a different lineup and was not punishing Boozer for his act.
Boozer, who was fined an undisclosed amount for missing the first practice after the All-Star break, told Scott his private plane had "engine trouble" and that's why he wasn't able to get from Miami to Los Angeles in time.
"It's never personal with me," Scott said. "I don't play guys out of being, 'I'm mad,' or anything like that. Like I said before, I don't hold no grudges when it comes to that. If you can help me win games, I'll put you on the floor. I don't have to like you at all. But that's not the case with Carlos."
Lakers and lottery balls
Forget playoff pushes. No Lakers title parades this June. The real race is for a bottom-five draft pick that the Lakers don't have to give to the Philadelphia 76ers. The regular season ends April 15, the draft lottery is May 19 and the NBA draft is June 25. Below are standings of the five worst teams after Saturday's games and odds to land the No. 1 overall pick, which will be Duke center Jahlil Okafor until further notice:
1. New York 10-44 25%
2. Minnesota 12-42 19.9%
2. Philadelphia 12-42 19.9%
4. Lakers 13-41 10.4%
5. Orlando 18-39 10.3%
—Mike Bresnahan
When: 6:30 p.m. PST Sunday.
Where: Staples Center.
On the air: TV: TWC SportsNet, TWC Deportes; Radio: 710, 1330.
Records: Lakers 13-41; Celtics 20-32.
Record vs. Celtics: 0-1.
Update: The Lakers are seeking to break a seven-game losing streak. Their defense still needs plenty of work, as the Lakers are allowing an NBA-high 106.3 points per game. Though the Celtics are 12 games under .500, they still are just two games out of the eighth playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

"It is enough. This is the right place. Drive on." -Brigham Young
Photo Galleries:
Sometimes history is made in a location, and sometimes a location itself is established to make history. Salt Lake City is one such location. The very urban landscape that has emerged throughout the Great Salt Lake Valley has been tied inseparably to Church of Later Day Saints, known as the Mormon Chruch, which grew its spiritual home here after being founded in the east.
After the founder of the Mormon Church, Joseph Smith, died after attempting to build an "American Zion" in Nauvoo, Illinois, continuing violence between non-Mormon and Mormon citizens resulted in a sect of citizens, who were led by Brigham Young, to migrate west. Brigham Young decided that the new settlement would occur in the Great Salt Lake Valley in 1847; in the ensuing years control of region formally moved from Mexican to American hands as a result of the recently completed war. Great Salt Lake City, shortened later to just Salt Lake City, worked with other settlements to petition Congress to admit the State of Deseret to the Union in 1849.
Congress, in a mood to keep the tenuous peace between states for as long as possible, created instead the Utah Territory in 1850 and installed Young as territorial governor. Later, the settlement became more open to non-Mormons, as the transcontinental railroad brought new settlers to the Utah Territory. While an ornate capitol building was built on a hill just north of Salt Lake's downtown in 1912, the true heart of the city was already in place in the center of downtown at Temple Square.
Salt Lake City in the 20th and 21st centuries continued to grow up and out. Today, the compact, walkable downtown area is linked to Utah's largest population centers that string across the valley through a modern light-rail and commuter rail system. The region around Salt Lake is a recreational paradise, from people speed racing across the Bonneville Salt Flats to skiing resorts along the Wasatch Back. In 2002, the city served as host to the Winter Olympiad games, bringing attention to the diverse, modern city that had sprung over the past century and a half.

New research shows that taking a specific form of vitamin E may help accelerate the health benefits of quitting smoking.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), smoking is the nation's leading preventable cause of death, linked to 443,000 deaths per year, mostly in the form of lung cancer or ischemic hearth disease. Luckily, quitting smoking shows immediately health benefits to anyone who can put down the pack, notes the American Cancer Society. Within hours of quitting smoking, heart rate and blood pressure fall, and within three months both lung function and circulation are improved. Though the body does heal quickly, the damage brought about by smoking can still require a long healing process. It can take as much as ten years for the heart of a former smoker to resemble one of someone who has never smoked, according to Time magazine.
A University of Ohio research team has recently found that an extra dose of a special form of vitamin E may help boost the health effects of quitting smoking. For the study, doctors recruited smokers to quit for seven days, with blood markers of inflammation to be measure before and after the trial. Half of the study participants were given and gama-tocopherol form of vitamin E, in addition to abstaining from cigarettes smoking. While all participants showed a marked increase in cardiac function of at least 2.8 percent, those who took the additionally vitamin E supplement saw an additional 1.5 percent increase on average.
The form of vitamin E used in the study is not the type common in over- the-counter supplements. The most common form of vitamin E, the one which humans have a dietary requirement for, is alpha tocopherol. The gamma version of the vitamin is the most common variant found in foods regularly consumed, including peanuts, soy beans, pistachios and cashews.
"We used the gamma tocopherol type in contrast to virtually all other vitamin E studies that use alpha tocopherol," said study lead author Dr. Richard Bruno, PhD. "Alpha tocopherol is the one that we know the most about. It is the form that we know is required for humans, but gamma tocopherol is the most abundant form. We used the gamma tocopherol form because not only does it have antioxidant activity, like alpha tocopherol, but recent evidence indicates that it also has effective ability to lower inflammation and also trap what we call reactive nitrogen species. These are chemicals generated in the body that can lead to damage to various proteins."

Stating that even though the formation of a stable government at the Centre has mitigated political risk, a top Reserve Bank official today said India continues to face threats on the growth and external sector fronts.
"With a stable Central Government in place, political risk has abated," RBI Executive Director Deepak Mohanty said, presenting a paper on "Unconventional Monetary Policy and the Indian Economy" at a symposium in Colombo.
However, he cautioned that even though we are out of trouble inflicted after the US Fed announcement to stop its asset repurchase program in May last year, some concerns on the growth and external fronts remain.
"Nevertheless, headwinds to growth from domestic constraints continue to pose downside risks, and vulnerabilities in India's external sector, though mitigated, have not totally disappeared," Mohanty said.
He explained how the US Fed announcement had caused difficulties for the emerging market economies.
Mohanty, who is part of the monetary policy department at RBI, summarized the multi-pronged response by the country on trade, capital flow management, currency intervention and monetary policy fronts.
"There is a need to use multiple instruments, including drawdown of foreign exchange reserves, monetary tightening, augmentation of reserves and administrative measures to dampen speculative outflows and encourage inflows to stabilize market conditions," he said.
"At the end it is difficult to say what worked and what did not work and how best to sequence these policies; but surely once the pressure abates it is important to reverse extraordinary measures to reinforce market confidence."
Following the May 22 announcement by the Fed, there was a heavy depreciation in the rupee due to India's external sector vulnerabilities. From a level of 55 against the dollar, it touched an all-time high of 68.54 in August.
"While spillover is unavoidable, domestic fundamentals are important to cushion its adverse impact, particularly for countries with greater external financing requirement as reflected in their current account deficits," he said.

"They didn't have an age requirement," said Longtine, 25. "But I didn't know how seriously I'd be taken."
An environmental science major in college, the Hudson High graduate felt he could use his skills and education to help his hometown. Local officials agreed, and appointed him to the commission last month.
Longtine is one of a handful of MetroWest and Milford area twenty-somethings who volunteer on town boards, have served in the past, or are seeking seats.
Some of the young officials interviewed, like Longtine, are cautiously testing the political waters, easing their way into a government that is run predominantly by residents twice their age. Others, like Longtine's high school classmate, Santino Parente Jr., have delved deep into their elected positions as chairmen of their respective boards.
Children of the late '70s and '80s are still a distinct minority on town boards and commissions, but are hopeful they can help diversify the composition of local politics.
"It can be intimidating for people in their 20s to look at the people you knew as your friends' parents and your parents' friends and then go up against them," Longtine said.
Parente was elected to the Hudson Board of Selectmen three years ago, and is running for another term. At 24, he currently serves as chairman.
"The main obstacle when I ran, is that many people were skeptical of my age," Parente said. "But why would I wait until I was 30, or 40, to run? When I got back from college, I wanted to help the town I really loved."
Parente said he encouraged 150 of his peers to register to vote when he launched his first campaign. Still, he admits, many twenty-somethings are disconnected from the political process.
"Many are worried about paying their credit card bills and student loans, and finding a job," Parente said. "They don't want to make the commitment."
State Rep. John Fernandes, D-Milford, was elected as a Milford Town Meeting member in 1973, at the age of 20. Two years later, he won his bid for selectman.
"At that time, coming out of the Vietnam era, political activism was prevalent," Fernandes said. "There were younger people (than I), across the state, serving as mayor."
The military draft, the Watergate scandal, and national politicians at the time inspired many young adults to get involved, Fernandes said.
"Today, there's a much greater focus on individual success than being part of the process," he said. "We live in a society where people move so quickly that sense of community gets lost in the pursuit of self-interest."
Craig Nation, 25, sought a position on the Hopkinton Conservation Commission last year because he disagreed with some of the town's conservation practices.
He believes his age is a factor in making him one of the commission's quieter members.
"I just want to learn how it all works," Nation said.
At 26, with six years of public service under her belt, Southborough resident Desiree Aselbekian is well-versed in the political process.
Now working as a legislative aide while she completes her law degree, Aselbekian submitted her nomination papers for the Northborough-Southborough School Committee the day after her 18th birthday. During her senior year, she was the student representative on the School Committee, and became inspired to run.
Aselbekian was elected twice in competitive races. She attended Wheaton College in Norton, in part because of its accessibility to Interstate 495, which allowed her to zip back for meetings.
"Regardless of your age, more people should want to be a part in the decision-making process," she said.
Timothy Dodd, 26, is challenging an incumbent and a former selectman for a seat on Westborough's board. A graduate of American University in Washington D.C., Dodd has interned on Capitol Hill and secured his first job as a campaign manager in Virginia.
"When I went to school in Washington, it was a very political climate," Dodd said. "I think that was an isolated situation. Most people my age are happy for me, but sometimes only follow national politics."
Dodd thinks his age will be both an advantage and disadvantage as he seeks election.
"I think some people might be hesitant to vote for me because of it," he said. "Others may look at my youth and energy."

ELO Office: An Introduction to electronic archiving and DMS
- Legally compliant archiving
- Simple operation and familiar work environment
- Quick retrieval
- Ideally suited for small companies and freelancers
The user-friendly ELOoffice 10.5 DMS software helps you speed up your processes, simplify your daily work load and increase your productivity in the long term.
Simply better organized
The ELOoffice program structure is based on analog filing systems that includes repositories, files and folders. This makes using the software possible without time-consuming training. Users can navigate in the file structure, open folders and leaf through documents with the mouse.
Investment protection and future viability
The import/export function offers the option to easily exchange documents, or even entire folders or archives with laptops or the larger versions ELOprofessional and ELOenterprise. This guarantees cross-product compatibility, protecting your investment for the future growth of your company. In addition, ELOoffice can be integrated into other business applications, such as with the commercial Sage application. Modules expand ELOoffice functionality.
ELOoffice provides you with outstanding search functions, which save valuable working time. The central component is a powerful database, which enables documents to be retrieved in an instant, even with large volumes of data.
Fast retrieval
ELOoffice lets you define your own storage and search forms. For an invoice, for example, users can enter the invoice number or project number in the index form, and find the invoice again later with this exact information.
Automatic keywording
The user defines zones, which can contain for example invoice numbers. The OCR then automatically reads the zone on the invoice, and copies the values and the assignment into the keywording form. This function speeds up document filing considerably.
Extensive full-text search
In addition to the search in the keywording, ELOoffice also includes a full-text search for terms contained in the body of the document. Found locations can be highlighted in color, as required, for rapid orientation.
Allow burdensome mountains of paper to be quickly transferred from the desk to the ELO repository in a digital format. This provides you with comprehensive view of all the documents.
Easy paper scanning
The ELO TWAIN interface (a specific standard for scanners) lets you use different manufacturers' scanner systems with various performance levels. Various scan profiles, image enhancement and automatic filing options are just some of the functions that ELOoffice offers for document scanning.
Seamless integration into your IT environment
ELOoffice directly supports the Microsoft Office, StarOffice and OpenOffice.org packages, thereby enabling smooth management and archiving of documents. Documents can be archived, researched, and opened for processing from the application concerned, all at the click of a mouse.
Mobile document capture
The ELO QuickScan App in ELOoffice 10.5 lets you scan documents while you are on the go and upload them to ELOoffice.
ELOoffice reduces the load on the e-mail system, and achieves the flexibility necessary for progressive office work. With the special integration in Microsoft Outlook, ELOoffice offers the convenient option of direct archiving of e-mails and other Outlook objects. The system supports both the synchronization of individual Outlook files and selective manual filing in the ELOoffice repository structure.
Target-oriented synchronization of individual folders
In synchronization, users can define filing folders in Outlook as required, and move the e-mails for filing into them by filing rules. All e-mails in the folder are then automatically archived by ELOoffice with the synchronization command.
Project-based archiving
In manual filing, the user decides which e-mails should be archived when, and where. One of the major advantages of this is that the e-mails can be filed according to the project. With just a click on the relevant ELOoffice icon in the Microsoft Outlook toolbar, the e-mail is transferred with attachment into the ELOoffice repository. ELOoffice automatically adopts existing search terms, such as sender, addressee or subject. Once the e-mail is filed in the repository, it can be managed in ELOoffice like any other document (task reminder, version history etc.).
Teamwork can be arranged very easily with ELOoffice. ELOoffice has network functionality, enabling several users to work on one and the same repository at the same time and manage their documents there.
Security with the Checkin/Checkout function
If a user has checked out a particular document from ELOoffice, this is visible to other colleagues. They can view the document, but it is protected against conflicting editing - until it is checked in again. The Checkin / Checkout function ensures that no change conflicts arise when documents are jointly processed.
Working in due time
The central ELO database also makes it possible to forward input documents to other team members during processing. In order for important documents and processes to not be forgotten, they can be time-controlled with the help of the Task reminder function. It is possible to set tasks for yourself and also for colleagues. This ensures transparent and timely work processes.
Transparency and up-to-date information
The ELOoffice version management provides a record of who changed each document, and when. If the user is not satisfied with a change, then he can simply restore the previous version, provided he has the corresponding rights.
