American Flags around Waite.
100% Made in America!
Just how did the American flag grow into just what it is today?
Folding up the American flag.
The United States flag is a solid icon of American identity and also nationwide pride. Referred to as Old Glory, the U.S. flag has a colorful history and also has actually undertaken several adjustments since the initial official flag of 1777.
Today the U.S. flag contains thirteen straight stripes, 7 red rotating with six white stripes. The stripes represent the original 13 colonies; the stars stand for the 50 states of the nation. The colors of the flag are symbolic too: red symbolizes hardiness as well as valor, white symbolizes purity and also virtue as well as blue represents vigilance, determination and justice. The reason the Continental Congress initially picked the red, white, and also blue colors was not made clear in the resolution embracing the flag. Chroniclers think it was probably a shade choice based upon the British Union Jack, which had actually previously flown over the colonies.
In time, some have actually connected somewhat different definitions to the three colors, for instance, the color red representing the bloodshed spilled to maintain our freedoms, however the significance of the initial meaning has actually been relatively constant from 1782.
Exactly how did the American flag become just what it is today?
It is so much more than the 3 colors or a "decor". Think about the areas around the globe that the American flag has flown, think about the change it has undergone throughout the years on American soil. It is truly humbling to think about all that was offered and also sacrificed to ensure that the American flag can fly freely across this nation.
The flag that started with only 13 stars expanded to 50 with the addition of states to the Union. The variety of stars on the flag slowly increased to its existing number today wherein a brand-new star would certainly be added to the blue field on the 4th of July after the date of each new state's admission.
The variety of rotating horizontal red and also white stripes has actually remained at thirteen except from 1795 to 1818 when fifteen stripes showed up on the flag to show the admission of Kentucky as well as Vermont to the Union. In 1818, it was agreed that including a stripe to the flag for each new state would certainly not happen as it will make the flag look crowded and it would certainly make the flag unwieldy. It was agreed then that the flag would certainly go back to including just thirteen stripes to stand for the initial colonies.
The American flag is a symbol not only of strength, valor, pureness, innocence, vigilance, willpower and also justice; it is a symbol of liberty. Freedom that has been dealt with so hard for over the decades. Liberty that has actually cost this country and the households within so much, and yet it is still a beacon to those wanting they had the liberty that the country has.
Folding up the American flag.
Typical flag etiquette suggests that prior to an American flag is stored or presented, its handlers must twice fold it in half lengthwise; after that (from the other end opposite heaven area) make a triangular fold, remaining to fold it in a triangular patter til the other end is reached. This makes a triangular "cushion" of the flag with only heaven starred field revealing on the outside, and also it takes thirteen folds to create: 2 lengthwise folds and also eleven triangular ones.
The flag isn't folded up in this way because each of the folds has a unique symbolic significance; the flag is folded in this manner since it provides a dignified ritualistic touch that distinguishes folding a flag from folding a normal item such as a bed cover, and since it results a visually pleasing, easy-to-handle form. This thirteen-fold procedure was a common technique long prior to the production of a ritualistic assignation of "suggesting" to each of the steps.
An elaborate flag folding event including these significances has actually since been designed for unique events such as Memorial Day as well as Veterans Day. These associations are "real" in the feeling that they indicate something to individuals that join the ceremony, yet they are not the reason that a flag is folded in the conventional thirteen-step fashion.
This is America and its icon is the American Flag. This respectable icon has actually been shot at, set fire to, spew on as well as stomped on, and yet she rises time and again. Despite the fact that numerous Americans near Maine state happily fly the flag outside their homes and businesses everyday, it is fitting that we, as a nation, have reserved one specific day annually to honor our flag and to bear in mind that it stands for the beliefs and values that we must aim to support. May God bless America and those who defend her.

New Course Added: Diversity in Educational Settings (Teacher Training)
TU Delft OpenCourseWare just published it's first teacher training module 'Diversity in Educational Settings'. TU Delft FOCUS Centre of Expertise on Education assists faculties and staff in their efforts to provide excellent education. In line of this task they also offer several modules, one of them being 'Diversity in Educational Settings':
"With a yearly increase in international students/phd and staff TU Delft is becoming more and more diverse and international. The heterogeneity in the classroom requires and acute awareness of the intercultural differences of the population, the TU Delft Educational Context and the impact on the role of the teacher in the International Classroom.
The teacher will have to reconsider his course material and teaching methods in relation to the international audience. He/she (the lecturer) will have to think about:
- The added value of working with an international student body
- The differences between an homogeneous groups and an internationally diverse group
- The central values embedded within the proper teaching style and how these values are conveyed to the students
- The difficulties of international teamwork for students and how to facilitate the students to obtain an optimal result?
- The assumptions with respect to grading
And much more… "
Celebrating TU Delft OpenCourseWare
Photo's by Cora Bijsterveld / Willem van Valkenburg, via http://www.e-learn.nl/2011/06/16/tu-delft-opencourseware-mijlpalen
Last Thursday TU Delft OpenCourseWare organised a drink to celebrate the election of Anka Mulder as president of the worldwide OpenCourseWare Consortium (http://ocwconsortium.org). We also celebrated having published over 50 courses via http://ocw.tudelft.nl. Ivo Bouwmans received a certificate for this:
"Publication of this 50th course marks the shift in attention towards the publication of new courses at a Bachelors level, aimed at providing prospective students a realistic impression of what the entire Bachelors program entails. Following the 'Introductiecursus Technische Bestuurskunde', TU Delft OpenCourseWare aims to expand this approach of introductory courses towards the entire Bachelors education system of the TU Delft."
We would like to thank all who were present for making this event a succes! We would also like to thank all involved in the OpenCourseWare project for their support in the past, present and/or future!
The presentations are available online. Some photo's and video-recordings have been made of the presentations and a few articles have been published on this event. A short overview:

New course published: a course of Architecture: Ways to Study
link: http://ocw.tudelft.nl/courses/architecture/ways-to-study/course-home/
A new course has been published.
Scientific research and design is traditionally made to be published in books or magazines by use of text and images. The arrival of digital media and internet changed this dramatically and allowed new possibilities and far better accessibility of this work. Be this as it may, it is still paramount that the accuracy and completeness of published scientific work is maintained. This course will focus on this integrated concept, the learning of how to successfully make and publish your own website. In 6 lectures the several aspects of traditional scientific research will be treated by using the contemporary media. The course has the following study goals, that correspond with the given assignments and lectures: 1. publishing own study and design work; 2. making your work retrievable for others by use of key words; 3. making use of digital media to describe own work; 4. describing and evaluating of own work; 5. making a bibliography and iconography; 6. intrepretenting an image as a scientific document; 7. describing in key words; 8. compare images scientifically; 9. deducting design types from image comparison; 10. deducting design concepts from image comparison; 11. deducting design models from image comparison; 12. deducting design programs from image comparison; 13. integrating different design concepts and becoming acquainted with research methods; 14. defining an object of research, problem field, target field, design tools, own competence and context of research; 15. formulating a site, context factors, motivation, design program, contribution, intended results and planning; 16. justifying, referring and concluding of own work; 17. giving and receiving professional critique.
New course added: VLSI Test Technology & Reliability
Link: http://ocw.tudelft.nl/courses/microelectronics/vlsi-test-technology-reliablity/course-home/
A new course has been published
With the continue scaling of transistor feature sizes, VLSI chip density continue increases. This results in a continue increase in the complexity VLSI technology where it has reached the point where billions of transistors are integrated on a single chip (like it is the case for System on Chip). To guarantee the satisfaction of the customers, the produced VLSI chips have to be reliable and fully tested. Verification testing and production testing represents 50 t0 60% of the cost of making VLSI chips, and are now the biggest cost of the technology. It has been known for a while that tackling the problems associated with testing VLSI chips at earlier design stage levels significantly reduces testing cost. Thus it is important for hardware designers to be exposed to concepts of VLSI testing which can help them design better product at lower cost. This course is an introduction to the field of digital systems testing, which is an integral part of IC design and manufacturing. The topics discussed are: Importance of VLSI Testing, Test process and Automatic Test Equipment, Defects versus Fault models, Fault simulation, Logic simulation, Combinational Circuit Testing, Sequential Circuit Testing, Memory Testing, Design-for-Testability, Scan Design, Boundary Scan, Built-in-Self Test, Delay Test, Current Testing, VLSI Reliability, etc.
New course added: Petroleum Geology
A new course has been published: Petroleum Geology.
The goal of this course is to obtain knowledge of the origins of petroleum and gas. An overview is given on the conditions that are needed for oil and gas to accumulate in reservoirs. Moreover, techniques to find and exploit these reservoirs are highlighted. The focus always is on the task of the petroleum geologist during the different phases of oil and gas exploration and production. After an introduction to the course including typical numbers and hystorical developments, essential terms and concepts like biomolecules and the carbon cycle are explained. A start is made with the geology with explaining source rocks and their maturation when forming oil and gas. After that, the composition of oil and gas and its application is eludicated on. How the oil travels from the source rock to the oil reservoir, where it is explored, is explained in the fourth lecture on migration. This lecture is followed by discussing the reservoir rock properties, like permeability and porosity. Moreover, it is explained how the oil or gas can be trapped inside the reservoir rock. Finally the exploration and production of different types of basins is discussed. In several of the lectures, non fictive case studies are presented in order to clarify the theory presented. In order to properly understand the course, prior knowledge in general geology and fluid flow in rocks is preferred.

Does the PC version use Steam?
If it doesn't can I still use the Mods in the forum for it?
Well you can buy it from Steam. But either way you will have to use GFWL. No matter if you buy retail or Steam version. I got the Steam version and I can use the mods without a problem.
I have the PC version and although i have no mods installed i have no problems playing the game.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the fourth book of the seven book Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling.
The book starts out with, of course, with our main character of the series, Harry James Potter. He is invited to the Quidditch World Cup by his close friend Ronald Weasley. After a short series of events, which ends up with the Dursley's fireplace being blown to smithereens, and Dudley Dursley having his tounge extended and swelled astronomically, Harry finds himself in the Weasley's house, The Burrow. He meets up with his other close friend, Hermione Granger, and a couple of days later they travel to the Quidditch World Cup. After a thrilling match, with Ireland winning by only 10 points, our characters retreat to their tents for some well-needed rest. However, they are woken up by a horrific scene. Death Eaters, Lord Voldemort's supporters, have decided to attack the campsite! They have held hostage, by magical means, the Muggle (non-magic) owners of the area, and they are blasting tents and people. Harry and his friends, including the Weasley twins and Ginny Weasley, run into the nearby forest. They become seperated from the Fred, George and Ginny, and are accused of sending the 'Dark Mark' into the sky. The Dark Mark is usually cast whenever someone is killed, and was Voldemort's trademark. After it was found that a house elf, who was quickly fire, of an important Ministry figure, the accusations were dropped.
The trio return the Burrow, and then go to Hogwarts. During the feast at the start of the School Year, it is said that Quidditch was unable to be played this year. Before anyone got angry, however, Dumbledore explained that the Triwizard Tournament, which is best known for the fact that all three prominent European schools (Hogwarts, Durmstrang, and Beauxbatons) compete to see whose 'champion' (a selected student) wins. However, Harry cannot compete, as there is a age limit, and to enforce this rule, there is an 'Age Line'. Fred and George attempt to fool the 'Age Line' using an aging potion, but it doesn't work, and the twins suddenly grow a pair of long beards.
When they champions are selected (Cedric Diggory for Hogwarts, Fleur Delacour for Beauxbatons and Viktor Krum for Durmstrang), a surprise is in store for Harry, whose name was anonymously put into the drawing for champions, even though he was not of age.
The First Task
The first task is to get past a dragon and retrieve a golden egg. Cedric Diggory turns a rock into a Labrador, Fleur Delacour put the dragon into a trance, but it backfired when the dragon snored, and set her clothes on fire. She quickly puts te fire out using a spell which fired water out her wand, and retrieved the egg. Viktor Krum hit the dragon in the eye, and retrieved the egg. However, in the dragon's pain, it trampled a small amount of eggs, which meant that he lost some marks. Harry Potter used his broomstick to fly past the dragon, and retrieve the egg.
The Second Task
A person was taken from each competitor:
Ron Weasley from Harry Potter
Hermione Granger from Viktor Krum
Cho Chang from Cedric Diggory
Gabrielle Delacour from Fleur Delacour
It is said that the people would die within an hour, if their champion did not save them. They were placed at the bottom of a lake, and the champions had to traverse the obstacles to retrieve their hostage. Viktor Krum did a bad transformation into a shark, and rescued Hermione. Cedric Diggory used a bubble-head charm, encasing his head in a bubble full of air, and he successly rescued Cho Chang. Harry used Gillyweed, which transformed him into a 'human-fish' hybrid, and successfully rescued Ron Weasley and Gabrielle Delacour, after her sister, Fleur, failed to appear after being attacked by Grindylows.
The Third Task
The Hogwarts Quidditch Pitch has been transformed into a giant maze. The champions have to get to the centre, where they shall find the Triwizard Cup. After that, the Tournament has ended. They face many enemies, such as giant spiders, Blast-Ended Skrewts and a Sphinx.
The Graveyard
Cedric and Harry reach the Cup at the same time. However, when they touch it, rather then ending the games, they are transported to a graveyard. The Cup was a portkey! Cedric is killed by Wormtail, and Harry is forced to give his blood, and using other ingrediants, Wormtail successly revives Lord Voldemort, from a weakened 'ghost' to a full human body. After a series of events, including a heart-pounding duel between the Dark Lord and Harry, Harry escapes using the Portkey, along with Cedric's body.
The Aftermath
Harry and Cedric Diggory's body lands outside the maze. They attract a crowd, and Harry is taken away by Professor Moody. However, it is not Moody, but an imposter! After Dumbledore successfully disarms the imposter, and finds out his identity, Harry is taken away from the room and to the school hospital. He spends the night, and then later returns home, and so ends the book.

Hearty, lemony and fresh as Spring, this Creamy Farro with Pesto Asparagus and Peas recipe can be served warm or chilled. Vegetarian or Vegan.
The pesto I made last week… I want to put it in/on everything and so far, I've put it on pizza, and now in this Creamy, Lemony Farro with Pesto, Asparagus, and Peas. It's delicious warm or cold and makes a nourishing main dish or side. I've already made 4 batches of pesto; two of which are in the freezer, you know, for safekeeping, else a spoon easily finds it's way into the jar.
I'm heading back out to the farm this afternoon to pick up this week's share, so I'm looking forward to more scapes; this makes me happy!
Happy, because the personal benefits of buying direct from farms are many. However, supporting sustainable agriculture reaches far beyond personal benefit alone.
The scapes from last week's pesto recipe were grown by the farmers of Prairie Bottom. This is the farm Rob and I purchased our CSA share from. In the coming weeks, I'll be sharing more about the farm but today, I'm sharing my top 10 reasons to support local, sustainable agriculture, whenever possible.
——– My Top 10 Reasons To Buy Local, Sustainable Food ——-
- Fresh produce lose nutrients quickly. Buying direct ensures fresher and tastier produce because the produce is ripe when picked. Although some produce naturally ripens after being picked, others must be picked before ripening due to the distance traveled between grower and retailer. Also, to control when ripening occurs, some produce is gassed to force ripening.
- Knowing where our food comes from and how it is grown builds connection with farmers and surrounding community (think farmers markets).
- Buying direct from small farms supports land preservation and open spaces.
- Money spent on food goes directly to the farmer, thereby cutting out the middleman.
- A variety of vegetables are planted on small farms as opposed to monoculture plantings (like corn or palm oil). Variety supports diversity of beneficial insects, pollinators and soil health.
- Sustainable agriculture supports healthy populations of pollinators, such as bees, by not relying on herbicides or pesticides for pest management. Bees are in sharp decline, something we all need to be concerned about because they are an indicator species; an indicator of the overall health of our environment. Bees are also responsible for one out of every three bites we eat. We know pesticides are a major factor in their decline. At Prairie Bottom Farm, weeds are hand-pulled and they use organic methods for pest control, when necessary. No chemical herbicides or pesticides are used.
- In our industrialized agriculture system, plants are chosen and bred for their ability to withstand heavy handling and farm equipment. This is not the focus of small family farms as harvesting is not mechanized. GMO-free, these farms support seed preservation and heirloom variety plants. This fosters genetic diversity which produces healthy, robust plants.
- Considering the average distance farm to plate is 1500 miles, buying local reduces individual carbon foot-print because the food has a shorter distance to travel from farm-to-plate. This also reduces air pollution.
- Joining Community Supported Agriculture allows one to access a wide array of food that may not otherwise be chosen, thereby increasing the variety of foods consumed. I had no idea what kohlrabi or garlic scape was until a few years ago.
- Some CSA farms offer classes on canning, composting, and seed preservation, for example. Also, they may provide unique opportunities to do a bit of work on the farm, like cleaning garlic when the crop comes in, and shelling beans. Prairie Bottom holds an annual Farm Feast for its shareholders! This is another way to connect with neighbors and foster community connections.
To find the closest farm or farmers market to you, visit Local Harvest.
If you're already supporting your local food system, share what you love about it in the comments. If you're considering buying local, but haven't taken the plunge, share your concerns and/or barriers.
Coming up next week, more about the farm and summertime deliciousness! Y'all have a beautiful weekend!
Creamy Farro with Pesto Asparagus and Peas
Creamy, lemony and packed with Spring flavors, this dish makes a hearty main or nourishing side. Serve it warm or chilled. vegetarian or vegan
- 1 1/4 C Farro 250g
- 3 1/2 C Water 560g
- 4 Tbs Pesto* (for vegan option, see note) I use garlic scape pesto, but your favorite pesto will be delicious! 66g
- 3 Tbs Fresh Curly Parsley finely chopped and divided
- 1 Lemon zested and juiced, divided
- 1/2 tsp + 1/4 tsp Sea Salt divided
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper ground, divided
- 1 lb Fresh Asparagus cut into 1" pieces, woody ends discarded, 454g
- 1 C Peas shelled if fresh, (fresh or frozen will work here), 136g
- 2 Tbs Extra Virgin Olive Oil 28g
- 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
- 1 Tbs Fresh Chives finely chopped
- Chive Flowers if available
Rinse the Farro under running water. In a medium saucepan add the Farro and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally. It will begin to thicken and become creamy.
To the cooked Farro, stir in the pesto, 2 Tbs of parsley, 1/2 the lemon zest and juice, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp ground black pepper. Stir well, taste for seasoning adjustment and set aside with lid on to keep warm.
For the veggies, fill a medium sauce pot or saute' pan with about 1/8" of water. Heat until little boiling bubbles appear around the edge of the pan. Turn heat to medium-low. Toss in the asparagus and peas. Give the pan a good shake, put a lid on it and set a timer for 4 minutes. The veggies will steam during this time and become tender-crisp. Drain immediately. Sprinkle veggies with 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, olive oil, red pepper flakes, and remaining lemon zest and juice. Give it a good stir. Taste for seasoning adjustment.
To plate, serve the veggies on top of the Farro, garnish with remaining parsley, chives and chive flowers. Serve warm, or chilled.
Refrigerate leftovers in the fridge for up to two days.

Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
Our mission: To engage our community in providing food for our neighbors. It is the goal of CEFP to foster collaboration with all Coralville residents, businesses and organizations to end hunger in our community.
Coralville residents whose resources for food are insecure can get enough groceries for their emergency needs once a week. Patrons choose their own food items in amounts that vary with family size. The food pantry is open Tuesday 2-6pm, and Saturday 10:30 am- 1pm. Coralville Ecumenical Food Pantry (CEFP) is staffed and organized entirely by volunteers. Groups and individuals can get involved with CEFP in many ways: monetary donations, organizing food drives, volunteering for pantry shifts (training required), unloading shipments and stocking shelves, repackaging bulk food items, assisting with fundraising events, participation on one of our CEFP committees: Marketing, Finance, Operations, Fundraising or Volunteer Scheduling.
CEFP was opened in September, 2009 by six Coralville churches in response to increasing poverty and hunger in the community of Coralville. The food pantry is a non profit 501c3 organization and is governed by a 15 member board of directors representing the Coralville community and churches. We qualify to order and pick up food from the HACAP wholesale warehouse in Hiawatha, although government funding for this source of food has been dramatically cut. We currently rely mostly on retail food purchases, monetary donations and food drives to stock our pantry shelves.

Logistics Project Leader
Spurring a positive momentum for change
My assignments
The key challenges of my job include developing and promoting a specific vision of the Pierre Fabre supply chain and managing the transformation agenda on a daily basis.
I propose innovative solutions to help business processes, organizations and logistics information systems evolve. This work is part of a change management and transition phase securing approach.
I manage transversal project teams in France and worldwide, which comprise employees working in a variety of fields of activity: sales, logistics, industry, distribution, etc.
It's a real project-mode job, where I work hand-in-hand with business experts to ensure that the choices made are highly effective.
My experience
I began my career in an English pharmaceutical laboratory, working on supply chain improvement programs. As the logistics project leader, I was involved in implementing a shared management process for supplies, rolling out a scaling-up scheduling process, among other things.
I went on to join a consultancy firm where I developed skills in information systems. This supply chain consultancy experience offered me the opportunity to work on projects that focused on implementing SAP modules for customers from the aeronautics and agri-supplies sectors.
In 2008, I joined Pierre Fabre Laboratories to manage transversal projects in the Group's logistics and industrial expertise centre. Since then, I've had the opportunity to carry out operational assignments in demand-side management for pharmaceutical and healthcare activities.

Reham Khan in tell-all interview on married life with Imran Khan
In an interview to UK Paper Sunday Times, Reham opened up against her ex-husband and said Khan didn't like kids. She claimed that she and her three children were forced to stay inside a room.
She expressed her dismay for not being defended in the face of allegations by certain quarters and the media. She added that she was accused of poisoning her former spouse with poison, being a British spy and hitting her ex-husband.
She added that she is not entitled to anything as her marriage was not registered in Pakistan or the United Kingdom.
Reham said Imran's were not happy with her marriage. She said their marriage was registered nowhere.
Reham Khan said that her former husband's sisters were not happy with their brother's wife and thought that she was not good enough for him.
She also said that Imran Khan was not romantic. She added that her former husband did not gift her anything during the marriage.
She said that his house was in a dreadful condition and was moth-eaten.
Reham Khan also mentioned that there was no house keeper in the house. Only a kitchen boy and a caretaker were employed in the house.
"Imran did not care how he looked when he stepped out of the house. I bought him a new wardrobe which he was quite happy with", she said.
"I introduced him to things like deodorants, creams and shampoos", she added.
Reham added that PTI leaders had issues with her working for the party.
"I was specifically told by a senior party adviser they basically wanted me to be in the kitchen, to be cooking chapatis and not to be ever seen again", she claimed.
The journalist added that her former husband is lonely and does not have any friends.
Meanwhile, Reham on Saturday took to Twitter and criticized media for the role it played in defaming her.
"For over a year, everyone watched quietly when the media was used to malign me," Reham said in her tweet. "No one defended me & I was told to ignore it."
For over a year everyone watched quietly when the media was used to malign me. No one defended me & I was told to ignore it.
— Reham Khan (@RehamKhan1) November 14, 2015
She regretted that nobody came to her defence, instead she was asked to ignore it.

BKS Iyengar and his Teaching
The world's most widely practised method of yoga is that taught by the late Yogacharya BKS Iyengar of Pune, India. He died in 2014, having maintained a strong daily practice into his 90s.
To quote wikipedia:
"BKS Iyengar was considered one of the foremost yoga teachers in the world. He was the author of many books on yoga practice and philosophy including Light on Yoga, Light on Pranayama, Light on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and Light on Life. Iyengar was one of the earliest students of Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, who is often referred to as "the father of modern yoga". He has been credited with popularizing yoga, first in India and then around the world."
Here's a (silent) video of Iyengar practising in 1938:
BKS Iyengar was credited by Time magazine as being one of the 100 most influential people in the world in the 20th century.
If you want to be inspired here's BKS Iyengar practising 39 years later:
And 53 years later(!) in 1991, practising backbends at his Institute in Pune (where I went to study in 2007):
The Iyengar Yoga System of Teaching
Learning is through a carefully graded and systematic programme of asana (posture). Pranayama (breath control) is gradually introduced once students have a firm foundation of yoga practise. Yoga practice both relaxes and energizes the body and mind and brings vitality, flexibility, strength, concentration,self-confidence and mental calm. Yoga is suitable for all types of people and all levels of fitness.
Practicing Yoga helps you overcome and prevent many stresses, strains, aches and pains. It promotes a firm foundation for health and well-being.
The Iyengar Yoga system of teaching is methodical and progressive, emphasising detailed correctness and absolute safety. When necessary, it uses supports called 'props' that allow students to progress in their practice of postures safely at their own pace, to suit their body. Beginners work in a basic way on simple postures according to their capabilities. As they develop they then move on to more refined ways of working as well as to more complex postures.
Iyengar Yoga Teachers
All Iyengar yoga teachers are trained to rigorously high standards. After training regularly with a qualified teacher for a minimum of three consecutive years, candidates undertake a two year teacher training programme followed by the Introductory level assessment. Once qualified, teachers must continue training regularly and complete professional development training each year in order to maintain their membership of the Iyengar Yoga Association UK. In this way the care and precision that characterises Iyengar yoga is maintained.
These high teaching standards are part of the reason Iyengar Yoga is the most widely performed method of yoga worldwide. The teacher Certification Mark shown here is the guarantee of this quality.

They will be found a most efficacious remedy for derangement of the digestive organs, and for torpid action of the liver and bowels, which produce indigestion and the several varieties of bilious and liver complaints. They speedily remove the irritation and feverish state of the stomach, allay spasm, correct the morbid condition of the' liver and organa subservient to digestion, promote a due and healthy secretion of bile, and relieve the constitution of all gouty matter and other impurities, which, by circulating in the blood, most injuriously affect the action of the kidneys ; thus, by removing the causes productive of so much discomfort, they restore the energies of both body and mind. To those who indulge in the luxuries of the table these pills will prove highly useful, occasioning no pain in their action, unless they meet with an unusual quantity of acrid bile and acid matter in the stomach and bowels. To Europeans on their arrival in India or China they are recommended as a preservative against the fatal disorders peculiar to tropical climates. Their occasional use, if combined with the strictest attention to diet, will be frequently found to remove at once, by their influence over the secretions, that congestive and unhealthy condition of the liver which is so often the earliest antecedent of severe febrile and constitutional disturbance. It must be understood that these pills are not recommended as containing any new or dangerously active ingredients; on the contrary, they are characterised by a remarkable simplicity of combination, and whatever merit they may be found to possess depends as much upon the selection of pure drugs, and the unusual labor and attention bestowed upon their subsequent preparation, as upon the acknowledged peculiarity of their composition, They are not recommended as a panacea, nor are they adapted to all complaints; but as a mild and efficacious aperient and tonic in the various forms of indigestion, it will not, perhaps, be an exaggeration to state that they have been resorted to under all systems of diet, changes of climate, or atmospheric alternations with an extraordinary degree of success for upwards of seventy-eight years. This celebrated family aperient may be had throughout the United Kingdom in boxes at Is l£d, 2s 9d, 4s 6d, and 11s Od, as well as in India, China, New Zealand, and the Australian Colonies.

Formerly known as the Battered Women's Service and Shelter, Circle is a non-profit organization in Washington County, Vermont, that provides support and services to victims and survivors of intimate partner violence. CJSA members made it their personal mission to help others within our community while also working toward accomplishing other goals.

Hollandaise sauce is used on eggs Benedict, asparagus and other vegetable dishes. Unlike other sauces, hollandaise is an emulsion. This means that the ingredients aren't blended; instead, clarified butter is suspended in egg yolks that are lightly cooked. This sauce doesn't store well, so it is usually prepared fresh, but short-term storage is possible if you prepare it ahead of the other dishes you are serving.
Step 1
Place the hollandaise sauce in a heatproof bowl. Cover the bowl with a layer of plastic wrap.
Step 2
Set the container on a warming plate, but do not place it directly on a stove burner, or the sauce overcooks or separates. Arrange the plastic wrap so it doesn't touch any hot surfaces. Store the container on the warming plate for up to one hour before serving.
Step 3
Pour the leftover sauce into a plastic- or glass-storage bowl. Seal the lid tightly and place the bowl in the refrigerator. Store the sauce refrigerated for one to two days.
Step 4
Transfer the hollandaise sauce to an uncovered, microwave-safe bowl to reheat. Microwave it at 20-percent power for 15 seconds, then stir. Continue to microwave the sauce in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until the sauce is warmed through.

DHT Holdings Board Unanimously Rejects Unsolicited Proposal from Frontline Ltd.
HAMILTON, BERMUDA, February 5, 2017 - DHT Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DHT) today announced that its Board of Directors has unanimously rejected Frontline Ltd.'s (NYSE/OSE: FRO) unsolicited, non-binding, highly conditional proposal to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock in DHT for a per-share consideration of 0.725 Frontline shares.
After a comprehensive review, conducted in consultation with its financial and legal advisors, the DHT Board concluded that the Frontline proposal is wholly inadequate and not in the best interests of DHT or its shareholders.
"We believe that Frontline's proposal substantially undervalues our company and represents an opportunistic attempt to acquire DHT at a low point in the cycle," said Erik Lind, Chairman of DHT. "We are confident that DHT will generate significantly more value to shareholders as an independent company than the prospects afforded by this proposal."
In making its determination, the DHT Board considered, among other things, that:
- The execution of DHT's strategic plan will continue to drive significant and sustainable value for DHT shareholders; and
- The Frontline proposal would not properly value DHT's contribution to a combined company and would result in unacceptable dilution to DHT's shareholders.

Bon Jovi – Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh, Wed 22 Jun 2011
- Henry Northmore
- 20 July 2011
This article is from 2011.
Polished if unremarkable show from the New Jersey rockers
For many years, to even admit to a passing love of Bon Jovi invited ridicule and derision. But the passage of time has been kind to these reformed poodle rockers. Nostalgia has meant their hits have been reassessed as cheesy but ultimately life-affirming slices of pop rock perfection. Despite the ridicule, they still sold millions of records (over 120 million in fact).
However, the Jovi weren't 100% fighting fit on this Murrayfield outing. While the rain (mainly) stayed off, the grim grey weather wasn't the perfect starting point, nor is opening with 'Blood on Blood', but these aren't the main hitches with tonight's show. Richie Sambora, fresh out of rehab, looks slightly baffled throughout, while due to a knee injury in Helsinki Jon Bon Jovi himself is sporting a leg brace. With the frontline of BJ confused and injured we get a slightly static performance from what should be the cheerleaders in a master class of FM friendly radio rock.
It's still a hugely polished show however. There may be lulls but the highs are fantastic. An early 'You Give Love a Bad Name' spikes the crowd with excitement, 'Bad Medicine' is the rock'n'roll stomp it should be (morphing into Rod Stewart's 'Hot Legs' and a brief snatch of Lulu's 'Shout') and 'Wanted Dead or Alive' is outlaw pop-country-rock at its best (with Sambora rocking a double acoustic guitar). The problem is it also slips in MOR plod rock far too often and the complete lack of pyro is frankly criminal (the only fireworks being projected on the gigantic back screen). So while the Jovi may be coasting, it's such a slick gig that it's hard not to get swept up in the fist-pumping joy of a monumental 'Livin' on a Prayer'.
'Blood on Blood'
'You Give Love a Bad Name'
'Born to Be My Baby'
'We Weren't Born to Follow'

At a PM Direct event in the north west of England designed to profile a new start-up loan scheme, Mr Cameron said schools needed to do more to equip children with skills to help them succeed in business.
The Prime Minister cited health and safety regulations as one of the reasons behind a lower number of companies offering work experience placements, and told the audience this was "very, very bad news".
He said: "We need to encourage businesses to offer that work experience, we need to simplify health and safety rules, we need to say to schools, 'every school should have a plan for how you are going to teach children about enterprise and business'."
Speaking at the Media Factory 'enterprise hub' at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston, Mr Cameron said that part of the problem was that too many students were leaving school without basic qualifications in English and Mathematics.
But he played down the likelihood of changing the national curriculum to include more teaching about business.
He told an audience of around 100 entrepreneurs and small company executives: "I don't actually think the right answer is to add endlessly to the national curriculum, more and more subjects.
"I think one of the problems is we've had too many people leaving school without the absolute basics which have to include English and Maths."
Mr Cameron said he would rather that entrepreneurs and business people went into schools to tell students about the excitement of a business career.
He added: "I think one of the things we most need is to encourage entrepreneurs and business people to go back into school and explain why what they do is so exciting."
A survey by the Prince's Trust charity this week found that one in four young people believes that their future has been "permanently damaged" by the economic downturns which have hit Britain over the past four years.
The findings from the survey, carried out by the Prince's Trust charity, will raise fears of a generation of young people "scarred" by being unable to get a job after school.
Economists are forecasting that unemployment will increase by 120,000 to 2.63million in 2013, while youth unemployment will fall below 900,000.
Last April, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg warned of the "scarring effect" that unemployment had on 18 to 24 year olds.
He said: "There are close to a million young people that are out of work that is a figure that is far too high and creates real long term scarring effects if young people are locked out of work."

I asked for a 'ballpark' cost -- He said approx. $300 -- for just the wheel bearing to be replaced -- but that's not a final cost b/c it will depend on part availability and he's trying to not have to go through Audi obviously and get best pricing.
1. Is the axle something that needs attention now and what should it cost?
2. Is that a fair estimate for bearings work?
I was going to Audi but since warranty expired, I can't afford their prices but am car illiterate myself. Thanks for any assistance.

DVD's coming soon
DVD's on various extreme accuracy gunsmithing and long range shooting topics by Gordy Gritters will soon be available through this website and at Gordy's Precision Gunsmithing shop. These DVD's are geared for do-it-yourselfers as well as professional gunsmiths.
"Evaluating Rifles for Accuracy Problems"
In this intensive video, Gordy thoroughly explains rifle accuracy, the problems that cause poor accuracy, and shows how to completely evaluate/measure/gauge every aspect of a factory or custom rifle for accuracy problems.
He shows how to "slug" a bore to evaluate internal barrel problems, and has some terrific borescope footage that clearly shows crooked/off-center chambers, smeared lands caused by dull chamber reamers, chamber and throat "reamer chatter", throat erosion, and other accuracy robbing problems.
Gordy then goes into detail explaining some of the best procedures used to correct all the accuracy problems in the action, barrel, stock, bedding, trigger, and other components of a rifle, including the "Big Five" things that are absolutely essential to bring out the full accuracy potential in any rifle!
$49.95 plus s/h
"Epoxy 'Sleeving'and Lapping Bolt Lugs for Accuracy"
In this video, Gordy shares a previously secret and extremely effective method of reducing bolt play in a rifle action to increase accuracy, sometimes astonishingly so!
He also goes into great detail showing a very effective method of lapping bolt lugs without wearing them at an angle like so often happens when using conventional methods.
These two techniques go hand-in-hand to correct issues that have a major impact on the accuracy of a rifle!
$49.95 plus s/h
Note: All these DVD's can be ordered directly from this website, or you can e-mail or call me to order them.

Coming soon:
Note: the video editor we were using to produce this DVD had computer problems that corrupted most of this video footage, so we had to start over. So we are in the process of re-filming and editing this DVD - sorry for the delay!
"Slugging and Hand-Lapping Rifle Barrels for Accuracy"
This video shows a very good method anyone can use to easily evaluate a rifle barrel for accuracy problems using lubricated lead slugs. Gordy then goes into great detail explaining and showing exactly how to hand-lap a rifle barrel using a poured lead lap with appropriate abrasives to increase accuracy and help cure fouling problems. This method works very well with finished barrels and normally does not require rechambering. The accuracy gains using this procedure are often very impressive!

Rita Ora is Naked at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party
Well, not exactly. But the singer's afterparty outfit change left little to the imagination.
There is rarely a red carpet Rita Ora doesn't slay. And Sunday's Oscars were no exception. The singer wore a regal yet youthful Marchesa gown upon her entrance, before changing into a black and white custom Vera Wang during her performance of Oscar-nominated song "Grateful" from the film Beyond the Lights. Of course Ora changed again for Vanity Fair's annual Oscars soiree, and showed up in a black custom Donna Karan Atelier gwn that featured layers of strategically-placed chiffon to cover Ora's, uh, parts.
PHOTOS See the Entire Oscars Red Carpet
"What we did for Vanity Fair is so cool," Ora stylist Jason Rembert excitedly told us over drinks in New York last week. "It's custom!" As for the process of a designer actually getting a made-to-order piece on a bright-young-thing like Ora, Rembert told us that the performer is lucky enough to receive sketches from designers, which she then sifts through before commissioning a look. So cool.
So there you have it. No, Ora wasn't technically naked. But she kind of looked like she was. And that has to count for something, right?

Z.E.R.O.: zero paid media as the new marketing model
(scroll down to learn more)
Joseph Jaffe and Maarten L. Albarda
Buy the book here:
ZERO pre-launch at Festival of Media, April 2013.
ZERO at DMexco in Cologne, September 2013
Speaking at eXelate's summer academy in Chicago, August 2014
- Six Pixels of Separation with Mitch Joel, Joseph Jaffe and Maarten Albarda - LINK HERE.
- For Immediate Release with Shel Holtz, Neville Hobson, Joseph Jaffe and Maarten Albarda - LINK HERE.
- Listen to Maarten and Joseph on the Marketo Marketing Nation podcast - LINK HERE.
In May of 2013, WPP's Sir Martin Sorrell conceded his clients were wasting 15-25% of their advertising dollars, only he didn't know which 25% exactly was being wasted. This statement resurrected a similar comment made by retailing pioneer, John Wanamaker, almost exactly 100 years prior. Only Wanamaker estimated that number to be 50%.
But what if both were wrong? What if that number were way higher than 50%? What if we could measure it? What if we knew what to do with the wasted budget; to redistribute or optimize inefficient budgets from acquisition to retention?From incumbent channels to innovation platforms?
What if brands could move from being tenants to landlords? From being media dependent to media discerning?
Authors Joseph Jaffe and Maarten Albarda not only feel this is possible, but highlyprobable, given two forces that – when combined – will deliver a perfect storm that will rock the media world to its core. The push of media inflation, noise and clutter, consumer resistance and apathy and fleeting viewers, will ultimately intersect with the pull of the increasingly digital, social and connected world, powered by startups, content creation, customer-centric ecosystems powered by technology, and the results will be catastrophic to those who remain paralyzed on the sidelines, but ecstatic to those who take action.
In Z.E.R.O., Jaffe and Albarda introduce the power of Zealots (advocacy), Entrepreneurship (innovation), Retention (customer-centricity) and Owned Assets (direct to consumer channels) under a unified call-to-action that in a perfect world, the optimal media budget would be Z.E.R.O.
The authors pull Z.E.R.O. punches in delivering some tough love that ultimately is grounded in a shared passion to save the industry (from itself) and in doing so, reinvent brands and brand building in a time where commoditization trumps differentiation; where automation overshadows humanity; where noise drowns out signal; where status quo prevails over risk taking; and where mediocrity dulls creativity.
Z.E.R.O. is a no holds barred call to action for corporations and their marketers toadapt or die amidst an increasingly turbulent, changing and dynamic media landscape.
In three sections, authors Jaffe and Albarda outline the problems and challenges that are leading to the Perfect Storm approaching (Section 1), the introduction and delivery of the Z.E.R.O. Manifesto (section 2) in which the vision and idea of Z.E.R.O is presented, and finally a ten point Action Plan with pragmatic recommendations marketers can start doing to ensure not just survival, but also the ability to thrive in the turbulent (and yet exciting) world that lies ahead.
The foreword is written by Chris Burggraeve (former CMO for Coca-Cola Europe and Global CMO for Anheuser-Busch-InBev as well as former World Federation of Advertisers president).
Z.E.R.O. is not a pipe dream. It's a reality for companies like Red Bull, Nike, Apple, Starbucks and Amazon. And it could be for you too.

Bed bugs are on the rise and with that even some of the most expensive and upscale hotels are getting them. This makes it harder for travelers to avoid them, but there are things that you can do to make sure that you avoid bed bugs while traveling. It is important to have a plan from the time that you leave your home. By having a careful plan and putting it into action you can protect yourself along each step of your trip and also protect your home. You can avoid bed bugs while traveling.
Make a plan.
To avoid bed bugs while traveling you will need to have an easy to use plan in place. You can use this article to write up a step by step plan. It is important that you include packing, investigating your room, and you need a plan for when you get home to make sure that any hitchhikers you may have picked up don't come in your home.
The first thing you need to do when you are looking to avoid bed bugs while traveling is to choose the right luggage. You can use your regular luggage, but most suitcases are easy for bed bugs to hid in. Another choice is to use a duffel bag or to use a back pack which can be thrown into the washer when your trip is done.
Plastic Travel Bags.
There are a few different companies that produce plastic bags that will allow you to seal up your belongings in your bag and in the drawers at the hotel. This can be a good choice, especially if you will be stay in one or more hotels over the course of your travels. These bags can make it easier for you to avoid bed bugs while traveling.
When you arrive at your hotel you will need to take a moment to inspect your room after you have checked. This is one of the most important parts to avoid bed bugs while traveling. To do this follow these steps.
- Either leave your suitcases in the car or place them in the bath tub. This is very important when it comes to avoiding bed bugs while traveling. This way you won't be able to have these blood sucking insects crawl into your luggage while you are inspecting the room.
You will want to do a thorough inspection of the room.
- Pull back the sheets on the bed and inspect that mattress. You want to look in the seams of the mattress. You should look for white pin head sized eggs, exoskeleton remains, and dark brown or black spots along the seams.
- Look in the bed frame for the same evidence.
- Finally look along the edge of the carpet.
- By looking in these locations you should be able to find evidence of pests if they are there. You should also check the sheets and other bedding for bugs and spots. A thorough inspection is important for avoiding bed bugs while traveling.
How to Avoid Bed Bugs While Traveling - When You Find Them.
If you are going to avoid bed bugs while traveling then you will want to make sure that you reacting correctly when you find them.
- Go to the hotel staff and talk it over with them. Make sure that you are calm and that you are letting them know what you found. Because of how things often work in hotels it is likely that the staff has no idea.
- Take another room on the other side of the hotel.
- Repeat the process of inspecting the room.
- If your second room has evidence of the insects as well then it is a good idea to ask for a refund and try a different hotel.
- Even though you are likely to feel tired by time you move to another hotel it is important that if you want to avoid bed bugs while traveling then you should inspect this new room as well.
By taking the time to do a thorough inspection you will save yourself from bites, any mental issues, and from bringing them home. Taking this time you will avoid bed bugs while traveling. Make sure that you take several minutes to get the job done.
Coming Home.
While inspecting your room is the best thing that you can do to avoid bed bugs while traveling and it will save you from getting bitten, it is also important that you take care to execute a plan that will protect your home even if you came across the insects along your travels.
- Don't bring your bags in the house. Instead take everything out of your bags as you are ready to take care of them.
- Put everything that you can into the washer and wash on high heat. Then dry at least 20 minutes on high heat in the dryer. Take care of these items and wash more as needed.
- Inspect all items that are not soft for the pests and put them away as you finish them.
- Finally, you will need to deal with your luggage. If your bag is one that can go in the washer and dryer then this is the best option. If it is not then to avoid bed bugs while traveling you should vacuum out ever crease, seam, crack, and pocket of your suit case.
- Finally you may desire to seal your luggage in plastic. You can use a commercial plastic bag or place it into a garbage bag and seal with duct tape. This is important to avoid bed bugs while traveling.
By coming home and taking care of your things promptly and properly you will also make sure that you won't be bringing bed bugs into your home where they could cause a lot of problems, could cost a lot of money, and it will be a lot more time consuming to get rid of the pests you bring home then to make sure that you don't bring any home in the first place.
Each of these steps is important to avoid bed bugs while traveling. It is important that you plan ahead, pack carefully, inspect your rooms, and make sure that you are taking care not to bring them into your home. You can avoid bed bugs while traveling and don't have to bring them home as many others have before you, but it will require a little more work and a little more care.

Mr. Roboto
The PWDMan tool can help make changing the password settings on multiple systems a breeze.
you'd like to download the PWDMan tool, just log on to: http://jdhitsolutions.com
Fortunately, you can do this easily with VBScript and ADSI. Not comfortable
with scripting? Never fear. I've wrapped up all the functionality you'll need
in an HTA called PWDMan. It only requires that you have remote administrative
access and Windows XP. (The tool will run on Windows 2000, but you'll lose a
few features.)
With PWDMan, you can query a single computer or a list of computers to determine
the age of the local administrator account's password to see if it's time for
a change. In the drop down box, enter either the name of a computer or the name
of a text file with a list of computer names. Be sure to include the full path
if it's not in the same directory as PWDMan. You can also click the "Browse"
button to find the text file.
If you're following security best practices, you've renamed the local administrator
account. If so, change the name of the account under Account Information. PWDMan
will check the password age of the specified account on all computers in your
list. You don't need to actually enter any passwords until you're ready to change
Ready to Run
PWDMan has two runtime options. You can verify that the computer is indeed up
and running first with a ping before you try to change anything. This feature
uses the Win32_PingStatus class (which is unavailable in Windows 2000).
You can also create a text list of any computer that fails. This helps you
go back later and manually check those machines to see why the change didn't
take. PWDMan creates a log file with a unique name using a time stamp in the
same directory as PWDMan. When you're ready, select "Report Only,"
click the "Go" button, then sit back and watch. PWDMan will display
its progress and create a simple report that you can print or export to a .CSV
When you're ready to actually change the password, select that option. Enter
and confirm the new password. PWDMan will mask the password, but because you're
making such a major change to your network, PWDMan has a "Show Password"
button you can use for a sanity check before you pull the trigger.
When you click "Go," it will warn you of the potential risks of changing
passwords. Take a few deep breaths and make absolutely certain you're ready
to change. As with anything that makes changes to your network, you should first
test it thoroughly in a non-production environment.
Assuming you're ready, PWDMan will then go out and touch every computer in
the list and change the password for the specified account. The tool will then
display the results of the change. You've just accomplished a tedious -- but
critical -- task in minutes instead of hours or days.

These are things I like this week :
LEGO Fallingwater. Barnes & Noble had it in stock, they were offering free shipping, and I get a discount. I've wanted it for a long, long time now. I finally bit the bullet and bought it. One day, when I have a fancy office, this will go on a shelf of its own.
I also love the 3A WWRp robot sets. They're insanely expensive, the customer service sucks, and they're hard to get because the info is so sparse and inconsistent, but I still love them.
I also really dig this robot with a giant eyeball for a head, because all robots should have giant eyeball heads.

Read this: BBC - The Editors: BBC science review
Summary: His report suggests there is too little cooperation between the various parts of the BBC that cover science, and that news coverage relies on too limited a pool of commentators and sources - creating the risk that we give our audiences an incomplete view of developments in the scientific world. The report also says we should make sure that we achieve the right balance between well-established scientific fact and opinion. Otherwise, Professor Jones argues, there is a danger of the BBC giving undue prominence to critics on the fringes of what is actually a settled scientific debate. - bbc.co.ukRead full article: BBC - The Editors: BBC science review…

The subject of siblings, which Leonora Carrington addresses in Brothers, is not an isolated theme in her oeuvre. That Carrington explored it on several occasions throughout the childhood of her two sons, Gabriel (b. April 14, 1946) and Pablo (b. November 14, 1947), is also no coincidence. Born sixteen months apart to the day, they grew up as close as fraternal twins. And although each was very much an individual, separate and apart, following Pablo's birth, Carrington painted them mostly together as a pair until their adolescence, when each went his own way.
Carrington did not produce formal portraits of the boys. Rather, from witnessing their reactions as participants of events or narratives, she portrayed them in each composition within a context. Since imagination in childhood is more vivid and free from inhibitions, Carrington took note how their internal reality accessed worlds with which she had remained familiar, and allowed it to influence how she created their portraits, most of which were done during those magic years. The paintings often transmit, in fairytale-like scenes, her fascination with them and their activities, which she quietly observed.
Again the Gemini Are in the Orchard, 1947, Leonora Carrington's earliest documented work referring directly to her two sons, was painted shortly after Pablo's birth and is by far the busiest and most complex composition alluding to the boys that she would create. Carrington created it as her exhibition at Pierre Matisse's gallery in New York was dawning. When Matisse requested that she show up for the vernissage, she--half-humorously, half-seriously-replied: "I can't promise because with two babies I am very busy plus my life is very disorganized. I always seem to be washing bottles, changing diapers plus making baby food...I haven't been out of these four bloody walls in the last two years...." Overnight, Carrington's life had become ruled by the overwhelming experience of caring for a toddler and a newborn, which she transmits in the painting, where not one, but five sets of twins have taken over an orchard. But, as the boys passed that early stage of development, which kept Carrington in a frenzy, her portraits of them would become quieter, more reflective.
In 1952, while she and the boys, now five and six, were vacationing in France, they stayed at Pierre Loeb's tiny country home; and in Darvault, 1952, the serene painting that Carrington produced that summer, she portrayed herself with the boys on the grounds of a castle, speaking quietly with them of the time when they would be reunited with their father. (The imagined scene is portrayed in the distance.) After their return to Mexico, in And then, we saw the daughter of the Minotaur!, 1953, wearing hooded capes, the boys stand passively opposite the Minotaur, who sits at a table entertaining guests as they are surprised by the unexpected appearance of its daughter.
On the surface, Brothers, 1953, belies its simple composition displaying various animals from Egyptian mythology. As in Gemini, the affectionate, playful interaction between three pairs of personages sets them apart within the composition, compared with other figures that stand alone. The image is one of harmonious interconnectedness. On the back of the yellow and brown seated mother jackal, on the lower left of the composition, two of the deep black jackals stand on their back legs as one reaches out to touch the other's shoulder. Above the head of the mother, and suspended in midair, two small, nondescript animals appear to be having a dialogue; and to their right, two larger birds are being playful with each other. Carrington tends to prefer animals, which she respects, not only for being attuned to their instincts without twisting them as humans do, but also for being natural in their approach to life, as she taught her sons to be as they were growing up.

For simple target shooting you can do what is done for CMP shoots (the battle sight zero as descried in the previous link is not used for this).
Crank the sight all the way down. Now crank it up 6 clicks. Shoot at 100 yds and adjust up as need to get as close to the bullseye as you can. Most Garands will be on 100 yd zero in 6-8 clicks up from bottom.
When you shoot at 200 yrds go up 1-2 clicks and you should be close. I think 300 yds is another 3 clicks up. Write down type of ammo and the clicks you needed for each yardage on a piece of paper and store that in the oiler hole in the buttstock. Now anytime you or another person picks up the rifle they can refer to the Click data you wrote down and be pretty close on the first shot for those distances.

At last, a synopsis for Neill Blomkamp's Elysium
It seems that some lucky bastard gets to see Neill Blomkamp's ELYSIUM before the rest of us do. Well, make that several lucky bastards.
The one thing they did share was a synopsis for the film. A photo of the invite to the screening landed at Collider headquarters. They were kind enough to let everyone in on the secret. The film is due out March 1, 2013 and stars Matt Damon, Jodi Foster, Wagner Moura, Sharlto Copley, William Fichtner and Diego Luna. I'm down. I loved DISTRICT 9.
Check out the synopsis and screening invite below.
In the year 2159 two classes of people exist: the very wealthy who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Rhodes (Jodie Foster), a hard the government official, will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium. That doesn't stop the people of Earth from trying to get in, by any means they can. When unlucky Max (Matt Damon) is backed into a corner, he agrees to take on a daunting mission that if successful will not only save his life, but could bring equality to these polarized worlds.
