PIONEER Stealth 1882 Limited Edition
To mark its 130th anniversary in 2012, Hanhart is launching two limited versions of the Pioneer Stealth 1882 (each limited to 130 pieces), which takes its name from the stealth technology used in aviation and reproduces all the characteristic elements of the legendary Hanhart pilot's chronographs from the 1930s in an eye-catching contemporary design.
Enclosed within its gleaming, velvety black case is an exclusively modified chronograph movement, which features increased spacing between the two displays at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock, an integrated hour counter in the small seconds and a flyback function. The dial also offers practical tachymeter and telemeter scales, with designs reminiscent of the traditional Hanhart "Tachy Tele" model from 1939.
Limited edition pilot's chronograph with legendary predecessors
Hanhart is celebrating the 130th anniversary of the brand by introducing a new model, the Stealth 1882, to its Pioneer collection in a strictly limited edition. This model quite rightly prides itself on its association with the legendary Hanhart chronographs on which it is based and is distinguished by all the typical characteristics of these timepieces: the upper chronograph button, positioned asymmetrically towards the lug, is especially striking and is a unique feature of Hanhart. In order to achieve this arrangement, Hanhart integrates a specially designed lever into the case. This redirects the force from pressing the button located at 2 o'clock by the required number of millimeters.
No less eye-catching is the striking red reset button. Legend has it that a young pilot, as he was putting on his Hanhart watch one morning, discovered that his wife had painted one of the buttons with red nail varnish so that he would always think of her and return home safe and sound. This distinctive red button became the trademark feature of the watch brand from 1939 onwards. It deterred pilots from inadvertently resetting the stopped time while navigating during a flight and going off course as a result.
A particularly outstanding aspect of the Pioneer Stealth 1882 Limited Edition, however, is the extraordinary way in which the highly characteristic design of the display has been realized in terms of technology and aesthetics, with two auxiliary dials at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock. An exclusive and complex modification of the automatic calibre enables both of these displays to be placed right on the edge of the large dial which is housed in a case measuring 45 millimeters in diameter. This brings the aesthetic appearance of the watch perfectly into line with the design of its predecessors: due to the relatively large size – 15.5 lignes – of Hanhart's manufacture calibre 41, the two displays were spaced widely apart on these early pilot's chronographs too. In addition, the small round display at 9 o'clock on this model is not simply reserved for the small seconds, as would normally be the case; it also accommodates a 12-hour counter which would usually be omitted from a bicompax display of this kind. As a result, the Pioneer Stealth 1882 Limited Edition remains true to the bicompax display format, yet it features all the functions of a tricompax chronograph.
The Pioneer Stealth 1882 Limited Edition also does justice to the early chronographs from a functional perspective: like these models, it is fitted with a flyback mechanism. While on a conventional stopwatch, one button controls the start and stop functions, another is used for setting the relevant hands to zero and an intermediate stop is required for a restart, this flyback mechanism, designed in the 1930s to facilitate navigation, enabled pilots to simultaneously stop, reset and restart their chronograph by simply pressing a single button. The chronograph hand thus returns to its starting position and immediately resumes its time measurements; there is no need to restart the watch after it has been reset.
Like the "Tachy Tele" pilot's chronograph from 1939, the Pioneer Stealth 1882 Limited Edition also includes telemeter and tachymeter scales. The tachymeter scale is designed to measure speeds and coils around the centre of the dial in a spiral shape, mirroring the design of the original model. This allows up to three revolutions of the stopwatch hand to be taken into account which considerably extends the measuring range and also enables even relatively low speeds of 60 to 20 km/h to be recorded. The practical telemeter scale printed on the peripheral edge of the dial is used to measure distances, taking into account the
speed of sound.

One on One – Funny Zombies Versus Scary Zombies
Zombieland is the latest film to insist that zombies are better funny than scary. As such, the horror spoof, starring Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg, owes far more to the hilarious comedy Shaun of the Dead (2004) than it does to the terrifying undead flicks of George Romero. But how do you like your zombies? Silly or creepy?

Plus size model Crystal Renn explains modelling for CHANEL and Jean Paul Gaultier at Paris Fashion Week made her feel accepted within The Fashion industry.
Plus size model Crystal Renn has stormed the catwalks of Paris Fashion Week.
The curvaceous beauty - who suffered from eating disorder anorexia nervosa after being told she would need to lose a third of her body weight if she wanted to pursue a career in modelling - flaunted her size 14 figure on the runways of legendary French fashion houses CHANEL and Jean Paul Gaultier.
After walking for the Zac Posen ZSpoke show at New York Fashion Week last month, the model has revealed being treated like "any other girl" in Paris has been an "amazing" experience.
She explained: "This has been one of the most amazing times of my life. I've done one show before, usually as a special guest, but to be working this much is incredible. Being treated as one of The Pack, not the plus size model, is a real breakthrough.
"I'm here being treated like any other girl. It doesn't matter my size. It doesn't matter who I am. I'm going on castings like everybody else."
Crystal - who has appeared in advertising campaigns for the likes of Dolce And Gabbana and Chanel in the past - admitted The Fashion industry is becoming increasingly accepting of those who stray away from the model norm.
She added to People magazine: "I'm still different from most of the girls at the castings but when I first started, the girls were all blonde, all emaciated and miserable looking.
"Now, there's more ethnic Diversity. The girls are not as skinny as before. You do see size 10s and a couple size 12s. There is change happening in the industry. There is more allowance for people to be different. I'm so impressed. I can't wait for next season."

The end of the year is always a great time review your finances. Hopefully you'll be getting a big bonus and you'll be able to wipe out some of your bad financial decisions from throughout the year—or, alternatively, make sure you reach the yearly maximum contribution to your IRA. And the earlier you start, the smarter you are, because it does add up.
Question: But I'm not young or smart, what can I do?
Answer: Thankfully there are people to help you, called Certified Financial Planners, or CFPs. After finding a well recommended CFP with strong ties to your community, he or she will go into the details and merits of the different types of IRAs.
In the meantime, here's a quick cheat sheet to get you started:
- Traditional IRA
- All contributions come from pre-tax dollars.
- You can only contribute up to the amount determined by certain tax laws, which base that amount on your earnings.
- You are required to take your first distribution (the required minimum distribution or RMD) no later than your 70 ½ "birthday."
- All contributions for a certain year must be made before April 15 of the following year. Gains aren't taxed until they're withdrawn, and then they are considered ordinary income.
- Withdrawals before age 59 ½ are subject to income tax and a 10% penalty.
- Roth IRA
- Only people who make less than $183,000 per year are eligible for full contributions to Roth IRAs; people making up to $193,000 per year may make partial contributions.
- People under 50 can contribute $5,500 per year to a Roth IRA—but that applies to all Roth IRAs across different institutions if you have more than one.
- People over 50 qualify for a "catch-up" contribution limit of $6,500, or $1,000 per year more than those under 50.
- Roth IRAs are funded by your post-tax dollars, but distributions are not taxed.
- Simplified Employee Pension (SEP)
- You must be self-employed, though there is no prohibition of having other, part-time jobs.
- Contributions are limited to 25% of your income or $54,000 for 2017 ($53,000 for 2015 and 2016 and subject to annual cost-of-living adjustments for later years).
- If you own a business with employees, your employees must be offered a SEP with contributions proportional to the amount you allow for yourself, based on salary or wage.
- Contributions to a SEP do not affect your limits to a Traditional or Roth IRA that you self-fund.
- All other rules for a SEP are the same as a Traditional IRA.
Note: The person or persons you wish to receive your assets upon your death should be named in your IRA beneficiary document. IRA assets should not be passed through your will.
All IRAs are excellent retirement-savings tools because the money you accumulate grows tax free. Even if you don't contribute to it, you can feel a little more peace of mind by just having one, knowing that whatever money is in there will compound and grow. Contact me for a referral!

Thai cave rescue, 'Suits,' Nelson Mandela's birthday: 5 things you need to know Wednesday
Thai cave boys to be released early from hospital, hold press conference
The 12 Thai boys and their soccer coach who were trapped in a cave will be discharged from the hospital Wednesday — a day earlier than expected. The team will also take questions during a news conference in an attempt to satisfy the intense public interest about their rescue and recovery, Reuters and The Guardian reported. The soccer team had been trapped in the flooded cave in northern Thailand for more than two weeks before a heroic three-day rescue operation. The boys, aged 11 to 17 years old, and their 25-year-old coach were reported to be in good health, with some fighting minor pneumonia and infections, after being rescued.
'Suits' to enter Season 8 despite Meghan Markle departure from show
Even though Meghan Markle traded in "Suits" for sunhats, the show known for its notoriously loquacious lawyers will enter its eighth season having not skipped a beat. USA's "Suits" prepared for the departure of Markle's character Rachel when she decided to leave her New York law firm for one in Seattle focused on charitable causes at the end of season seven. In reality, Markle left to become the Duchess of Sussex. While "Suits" initially revolved around Markle's character and her budding romance with Mike, who is played by Patrick J. Adams, it has evolved into an ensemble about a top-tier law firm that's always fighting. Season 8 premieres Wednesday at 9 p.m. EDT/PDT.
Auto racing star Danica Patrick to host ESPYs, becoming first woman to do so
The 26th edition of the ESPYs, ESPN's annual event that celebrates the best of sports, will be a night of firsts. Auto racing star Danica Patrick will become the first woman to serve as the host of the ESPYs. The ceremony will also posthumously honor three coaches — Aaron Feis, Scott Beigel and Chris Hixon — who died protecting students from gunfire during the mass shooting Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in February. The Best Coach Award has previously gone to coaches showing "extraordinary leadership of their teams," but ESPN will commemorate the trio's "heroism off the field." To watch, tune in at 8 p.m. EDT on Wednesday to ABC or live stream the event on the WatchESPN app.
Killer who blamed attack on 'homosexual panic' to be executed
Ohio on Wednesday is set to execute a convicted murderer whose case garnered national attention when his defense argued that a "homosexual panic" may have prompted him to kill. Robert Van Hook was found guilty in 1985 of brutally stabbing David Self, 25, after meeting him in a Cincinnati bar. A three-judge panel rejected his insanity plea and sentenced him to death. In a May appeal, Van Hook's lawyers cited a psychologist's report that said he may have experienced a "homosexual panic" upon realizing he had sexual cravings for the victim. Van Hook's request for clemency was denied.
100 facts for Nelson Mandela's 100th birthday
Nelson Mandela, whose successful struggle against South Africa's apartheid system made him a global symbol for human rights, would have turned 100 years old on Wednesday. A Nobel Peace Prize winner, Mandela was the first black president of South Africa from 1994-1999 and the first president elected after the end of apartheid, an extensive system of segregation and discrimination based on race. In memory of the historic peacemaker, who died in 2013, here are 100 facts about Mandela's life and legacy.

BY TIM O'CONNOR G rowing up in the Northeast, Jeff Hutchins remembers what it was like when the Philadelphia Phillies left their longtime home, Veterans Stadium, in 2004 for the new Citizens Bank Park. Something was lost in the transition. Veterans Stadium was a local icon for decades, but the corporate name of the new ballpark seemed detached from the community. So when Hutchins, vice president of operations at ISM Connect, spearheaded his company's acquisition of the naming rights to Phoenix International Raceway (PIR) he insisted on keeping the city's name in the new logo. "To us, it was important 'Phoenix' was in the name," Hutchins says. "We want to make sure that's not lost in the space. You're 78 CONSTRUCTION-TODAY.COM VOLUME 16, ISSUE 1 ISM Raceway www.ismraceway.com * Project cost: $178 million * Location: Avondale, Ariz. * Employees on-site at peak: 300 "ISM Raceway in Phoenix is going to be e first full implementation for every ing in e technology eat for ISM Connect." - Jeff Hutchins, vice president of operations at ISM Connect dealing with a local geography and a track that's been around a long time." In January, the change became official and the former PIR became ISM Raceway, and the logo features "Phoenix, Arizona" be- low the venue's name. But the new name is only a small part of a much larger transition going on at the NASCAR and IndyCar racing host. The 54-year-old track is in the midst of a $178 million overhaul, the ISM Raceway Project Powered by DC Solar, that will wave the green flag on the start of a new era of racing in Phoenix. The project includes new and renovated seats with unobstructed views that will bring the grandstand capacity to 45,000, as well as new escalators and elevators. In addition, there will be premium RV parking, renovated suites, new concession stands and restaurants, ADA-compliant bathrooms, a new midway called the DC Solar Power Pavilion and a reconstructed infield with new fan experiences.

About East Shea Assisted Living
Mike and Sandy Messer together have more than 30 years in the senior care business. In the early '90s, Mike became a Certified Nursing Assistant and began providing seniors care in their homes. In 1998, he opened his first assisted living home in the Mesa/Gilbert area, running this facility for 11 years. During this time, Mike realized how difficult it was for many people to find the ideal home. Seeing a need, he filled it by beginning a placement service to help seniors and their families discover assisted living options.
Sandy Messer has a background in accounting and marketing. Her company, Long Term Assurance, helps veterans and their spouses apply and qualify for Aide and Attendance Benefits (a pension that helps pay for long-term care). Sandy's financial planning expertise meshed well with Mike's placement service clients' needs.
While operating his placement service, Mike toured over 1,000 assisted living homes with hundreds of families. During this time, Mike became familiar with East Shea Assisted Living, and the opportunity to purchase the home from Maria and Vio Bilauca, a respected couple ready to retire after 30 years in the assisted living business. This home offered all of the comfort, beauty, and safety Mike wanted in a group home. In addition, its Scottsdale location, just minutes away from the Mayo Clinic, was the perfect environment. Instead of waiting around for Opportunity to knock a second time, Mike purchased the property with his wife Sandy.

text: I would just like to say thank you to Irun. Awhile back I posted a thread about my brand new Gen 5 Glock 17 MOS having wear on the barrel right out of the box which must have been a Glock QC oversight because the rest of the gun looked new. Irun took responsibility immediately and took the Glock back, shipped me a brand spanking pristine new one the next shipment and for my troubles shipped me a rmr sealing plate for my trijicon rmr, another T-shirt and other small items free of charge. They also kept in constant communication with me throughout the whole process. I have dealt with a lot of CGN online retailers and most have been great but I have to admit this was the best service I have had yet.

The holy people of mankind are those who are aware of the systems of galaxies working within them. When a person becomes aware of his inner self and the blinders of time and space are removed from his eyes, then he sees that everything is within him. There is a point within every man, and this point is the microfilm of the universe. When this point is given a chance to expand and broadcast, then the whole universe becomes active on the screen of the brain in the form of a film.

Then come spices, nutmeg and cumin, subtly enveloped by neroli. Before finally being warmed by the woody aroma of cedar and patchouli, a wild spirited accord, persistent yet perfectly tamed, the freshness becomes richer and denser.

Tanner Williams School Celebrates Centennial in conjunction with Tanner Williams May Day Festival, May 2, 2015
It's almost time for the Tanner Williams May Day Festival, and this year's event is really special--the old Tanner Williams School, where the annual Festival takes place, turns 100 years old. So when the traditional Festival is held on Saturday, May 2, it will include a celebration of Tanner Williams School Centennial. Activities will be outside the historic building; if it rains, the event will be moved to the Tanner Williams Elementary School gym across the street at 13700 Tanner Williams Road.
As in past years, the day will start with a parade. Line-up will begin at 8:15 a.m. at Tanner Williams Community Park; the parade will roll at 9 a.m. Those interested in bringing their floats, vehicles or groups to participate in the parade should contact Michelle Southerland, 610-7355.
After the opening ceremonies at 9:45, there'll be a Tiny and Little Mr./Miss contest ($20 fee) and a pageant with two divisions, K-2nd grade and 3rd-5th grades ($35 entry fee.) For more information, call Mandi Robison, 610-1033 or Crystal Sears, 581-1461.
Festival spokesperson, Brandy Culver, said that this year's car show will be expanded to include three divisions, Classic, Current and Motorcycles. The entry fee is $10 and registration begins at 8:30 a.m. Participants can call Philip Culver, 228-249-2668 for additional details.
Of course, a festival wouldn't be considered successful without an array of food and this one has $8 catfish dinners, starting at 11 a.m.; hot dogs, chips and soft drinks; and homemade goodies from the Sweet Shop.
Because this year's May Day also celebrates the school's 100th birthday, organizers are looking for anyone who attended the old school at any time in the past to visit the fest and maybe run into former classmates. Tours of the current Tanner Williams Elementary School are planned for 11 a.m., noon and 1 p.m.
Brandy Culver said that there will be plenty of entertainment and activities for people of all ages, including historical exhibits, a silent auction, vendors with wares to sell, a plant sale, games for the children. All proceeds go to the Tanner Williams Civic and Historical Society for maintenance on the old school house. For more information, to make a donation or to volunteer, call Culver at 251-377-6842.

Prom, Intercourse, of course?
Spring is prom season. After you think and talk about a date, a dress, whether to wear a cummerbund, which friends to share a limo with, which after-party to attend, and what to do about alcohol, remember to think and talk about sex, too.

Thoughts on Alcohol - Alcohol on Our Minds
Some college kids are off on Spring Break now, and high school seniors are starting to get itchy about their own up-coming college experience. Some are even off on the high school equivalent of the spring break trip. Bacchanalian partying seems to go hand in hand with many of these spring rituals. Most of us know that binge drinking is rampant on college campuses. We also know it happens on some local golf courses, in backyards and Westchester basements - Spring Break or not. Parents continue to wonder what they should be saying or doing to fulfill their parental duties in these situations.

Minding the Gender Gap: What about our Boys?
The recent series of articles in the New York Times and elsewhere has highlighted some of the emerging data about social indicators of success for American teenage boys. The gender gap is also apparent in medicine and contributes to health problems for our sons. Boys have higher mortality rates than girls and they engage in significantly more dangerous risk-taking behaviors. In spite of this, adolescent males are seen far less by doctors and health professionals than girls. When they are seen, the visit is often a perfunctory sports physical in a school gym, affording little privacy and no legitimate health assessment.

It's called "upstreamism," and understanding the concept may go a long way to understanding health outcomes in America and beyond.
Big Think reports: "Rishi Manchanda, founder of HealthBegins and upstreamism advocate, says that 'one's zip code matters more than your genetic code.' In fact, he points out, epigenetics shows us that our zip codes can shape our genetic codes."
Indeed, in this TED talk, Manchanda explains "has worked as a doctor in South Central Los Angeles for a decade, where he's come to realize: His job isn't just about treating a patient's symptoms, but about getting to the root cause of what is making them ill—the "upstream" factors like a poor diet, a stressful job, a lack of fresh air. It's a powerful call for doctors to pay attention to a patient's life outside the exam room."
Manchanda tells the story of a patient, Veronica: "What was it about this different approach we tried that led to better care, fewer visits to the E.R., better health? Well, quite simply, it started with that question: "Veronica, where do you live?" But more importantly, it was that we put in place a system that allowed us to routinely ask questions to Veronica and hundreds more like her about the conditions that mattered in her community, about where health, and unfortunately sometimes illness, do begin in places like South L.A. In that community, substandard housing and food insecurity are the major conditions that we as a clinic had to be aware of, but in other communities it could be transportation barriers, obesity, access to parks, gun violence."
The Big Think post continues: "People living in low-income neighborhoods face far more negative social and cultural health influences than those living in wealthier areas. Patients from such environments are less likely to have access to pollutant-free water, full-service grocery stores and farmers markets, and parks and playgrounds. The stress of such environments leads to higher rates of depression, unresponsive parenting practices, and even increased rates of mortality."
Said Michael J. Dowling, president and CEO of Northwell Health: "If you're living in a very, very good neighborhood, […] you will live years longer than the person who lives in a very, very poor area, in general. So if I want to improve your health, I've got to make sure that I have doctors, and nurses, etc., to provide medical care to you. But I've also got to figure out how to work on all of these other things."

We own several nativity sets, each cherished for its own unique qualities.
This one was given to us early in our marriage and shares a place of honor on the sideboard with our Christmas cards.
This stained glass set was made by a talented friend and is beautiful with lights behind it.
And our new addition, created by Z-Man and displayed proudly on the mantel! I'm sure you could figure it out, but I thought I'd put titles in, just in case.
And didn't these paper nativity scenes turn out adorable? You can print one (use card stock) at Papertoys.com.
This week: baking, grocery shopping and hopefully some caroling! I hope you are all enjoying a blessed and peaceful Christmas season.

The Truck Safety Coalition Supports Data-Driven Safety Solutions that Will Reduce Truck Crashes, Prevent Injuries, and Save Lives:
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) is a collision avoidance technology that has been proven to reduce crashes and mitigate the severity of collisions. It has been successfully used by leading U.S. trucking companies and there is ample data and research to support its required use.
Speed Limiters have been built into most trucks' engine control modules since the 1990s. This technology improves safety by reducing and mitigating truck crashes while improving a truck's fuel efficiency, which is why leading motor carriers have required their fleets to be governed for years.
The Minimum Insurance required per truck per event was set at $750,000 in 1980. Since then, that minimum has never been increased, not even to account for general inflation or medical-cost inflation despite the fact that truck size and weight limits and speed limits have increased significantly during this time.
Underride Guards save lives. The federal government should require all trucks and trailers to be equipped with energy-absorbing rear, side, and front underride guards to protect car occupants and vulnerable road users from underride crashes.
The Truck Safety Coalition Opposes Dangerous Rollbacks and Exemptions to Proven Safety Rules:
We Oppose Longer Trucks and Heavier Trucks
Say No to Teen Truckers
Why We are Against Agriculture Exemptions
Reject Efforts to Limit Shipper Broker Liability

the latest review from PopMatters
"While there is talk that independent cinema has lost its vitality, Hansen shows that funny and intelligent films can be made without the assistance of big studios. Though it has some glitches, the film has all the ingredients of a great film. With memorable lines, strong characters and an unbelievable story this will no doubt find a cult following."
Video Interview from AFI DALLAS:

Without launching into a detailed description, Visual Thinking Strategies is a great way to get learners of all ages and abilities to talk about and learn about visual art together. In fact, seeing it in action–seeing children as young as kindergarten or first grade quickly start to develop their visual literacy–is so inspiring that it makes me wish there were an analogous tool in music education. What would it take to adapt VTS' approach of close looking to close listening?
There are a few challenges that present themselves immediately:
One recent approach to adapting VTS to music, Critical Thinking in Music (CTM), begins to tackle some of these challenges. Following VTS' lead incredibly closely, CTM uses 40-second clips of musical recordings where VTS would use visual art. These clips are followed by nearly the same questions used in VTS:
On the surface, this straightforward adaptation of VTS makes a lot of sense. We focus on 40-second segments, for example, because that is an appropriately short clip to keep in one's mind after listening, enabling us to interact with the music as if it were an object that can be turned over, rotated, inspected closely, and so on.
The CTM approach does leave some lingering questions, however:

PURPOSE The Department of Athletics is committed to enriching campus life through a program of interscholastic athletics and to promoting the development of qualities in the student athlete that will serve the participating individual and the community. Towards that end, the Department offers competition for boys and girls as part of the educational program of the school. Its goals are...
• to instill in the student a sense of responsibility by demanding consistently high standards of behavior and making the student aware and respectful of the needs of others;
• to engender commitment in the student by directing him/her to an acceptance of the goals of the team and an appreciation of the needs of his/her teammates, coaches, opponents, and officials;
• to nurture unselfishness in the student by requiring that his her actions on and off the playing field be consistent with the goals of the team as a whole and not be directed towards individual honors;
• to generate in the student-athlete a willingness to sacrifice his/her time and energy towards the fulfillment of shared goals; • to further a sense of personal discipline on the part of the student athlete by demanding abstention from activities that limit his/her athletic, academic, and personal potential.

Oregon has memorials for two of the major 20th century conflicts – the Vietnam and Korean wars – but it remains one of only six states in the U.S. without a permanent memorial for World War II veterans. As the population of living WWII veterans has dwindled in recent years, many in the Oregon veterans community have been speaking up in support of raising a memorial as soon as possible.
Now, the Oregon WWII Memorial Foundation is within striking distance of raising the $1.2 million needed to finally see that dream brought to fruition. The proposed monument would bear the names of the nearly 3800 Oregonians who gave their lives during overseas combat in World War II. Lou Jaffe is the president and treasurer of the foundation, as well as a veteran of the Vietnam War. He says it's important to erect the memorial soon:
It will preserve the individual stories and experiences of Oregonians who fought for our freedom. The folks from this generation are dying at a considerable rate, and I think it's important to do this now while some of them still are around to see it.
Are you a veteran of World War II? What will it mean to you to finally see a memorial in Oregon?
