Time to Charge for the Smithsonian?
Making news the last few days has been the debt commission lead by Erskine Bowles and former Senator Alan Simpson, two men who see a problem and who have no problem marching the sacred cows off to the butcher at the end of their career. This morning, PJ Orvetti from NBC Washington has unearthed one of their proposals that may prove controversial: a $7.50 admission fee for the museums.
Details aren’t too clear right now if that’s $7.50 for all of the museums, or $7.50, but you could see how a trip to DC for a family of four from the midwest could increase in cost by $120 pretty quickly. Part of the attractiveness of the DC region as a tourist destination is that so much of it is free from charge. The fortunes of the region are already looking in flux with the wave of deficit-averse politicians coming to legislate, do we really want to shoot a giant hole in our tourist draws?
No, the Smithsonian is our collected treasure. It is our trophy case. Those trophies were built with the heart and money of the American Public and to charge for them would be a travesty.
Perhaps, like some other museums, you send people through a ticket window that ask for suggested donations. That’ll guilt people in to paying a few bucks, if nothing else.
the Smithsonian is a window into our nations heritage. It is the National Museum. If you charge people to see the museums, you separate them from the history of the country, and from their heritage.
I would never, ever support charging entry at the Smithsonian. Heck, I don’t even like the idea of charging for museum entry period.
Okay, $7.50 is kind of a lot, but why not charge even $2.00 to get in. The country is in a serious way right now and evey hole in the budget should be plugged. No matter how small. I don’t think charging a small fee would “separate” anyone from anything. People regularly pay $10 or more to see movies why not contribute to the upkeep of national treasures too?
I don’t disagree with anything Tom says. However, I’m sure that equally compelling arguments could be said about many other spending cuts/revenue increases proposed by Messrs. Bowles and Simpson.
I think the point of their proposal is that significantly reducing the deficit/debt is going to hurt, no matter which approach is followed. It may be easy for Republicans and Tea Partiers to clamor for deficit/debt reductions but, if you’re forced to spell out HOW you intend to do this, it clearly becomes a much trickier proposition. It’s too bad that voters seem content with slogans and not details.
But reducing the deficit/debt is a necessary pain and while people denouncing things that directly affect them is to be expected, the “not in my back yard” defense will get us nowhere. And I would argue that this pain is a VERY healthy thing. Hopefully it will make us think twice (or three, four and five times) before throwing soldiers at a problem. If casualties (on both sides) don’t get the lesson across that war should be a last resort, then perhaps losing the interest deduction on your mortgage will. Ditto for bailing out the banking industry and not following through with proper regulations to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
Now, whether to do this right now or once the economy is more fully recovered is another question.
I’m sorry, but this is a mistaken view. I have now gone to museums in other US cities and to museums in other countries (some are UNESCO World Heritage sites) and the vast norm is charging for admission. And there are still HUGE lines for them.
Just last week I went to Chicago. In the middle of the week, in November, there were huge lines to get into the Field Museum ($29 for an adult), the Science & Industry Museum ($15), and the Shedd Aquarium ($27) just to name three. And they had some of the most amazing exhibits I have ever seen. There are exhibits throughout the Smithsonian’s museums which have not changed since I was in kindergarten, nearly 30 years ago.
Charging admission will have minor effects on tourism, and could provided needed funds to the Smithsonian. I only wish they would implement it without removing government funding as well.
Asking us to pay admission when our tax dollars also fund the museums is hitting us twice. I like the idea of encouraging more donations. The Smithsonian has looked at larger corporate donations, but doesn’t do a lot of fund-raising to average citizens. You could also sell passes for tourists and residents that would get them in by a faster line. I understand we need to offset costs, but why do the tax cuts for the rich stay and free museums go? Mind boggling.
The Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum already charges $15 for admission. And the National Museum of Natural History charges $6 for the butterflies exhibit. (Not to mention overcharging for Cokes and Imax movies.)But regardless of the precedent, I think it’s worth fighting to preserve free admission.
I think once upon a time the Park Service charged a ten-cent admission for the Washington Monument, during the Jimmy Carter era, but then made it free when they realized it cost more to collect the money than they were pulling in. Not sure where to go to verify this story.
It’s part of the Smithsonian Charter that it can’t charge.
In so far as this is a real proposal, the $225 million bandied about is just a made up number. It’s simply and arbitrary $7.50 multiplied by the 30 million visits (not visitors) the Smithsonian had last year. It’s irresponsible (for the Commission, not you guys) to even use this number.
I’ve lived here all of my life. In the last few years, I have developed an entirely new appreciation for the Smithsonian and all it has to offer. I am a SAHM and homeschool my 3 kids. It’s wonderful to be able to take an impromptu field trip to one of the many different museums even when funds are tight. It would be a shame if we could no longer do that.
The visitation to the Smithsonian museums are tremendously high. As an employee, I witness this daily.
I support the idea of having to pay a one-time fee of $7.50(daily) if in fact I was allowed to use this as a pass to gain entry to all the museums.
I find it really hard to believe that we gripe over paying a small fee that will greatly benefit us in the end, but will pay extremely high prices to dine in the museums restaurants.
The issue of our tax dollars funding the museums are hardly even an issue at this point when it is indeed for a great cause, versus paying to fund an able-bodied person to collect welfare for years to come.

Diabetic retinopathy is the most common form of diabetic eye disease that affects both eyes. The risk of progressing diabetic retinopathy is known to upsurge with age as well with uncontrolled blood sugar and blood pressure level. If left untreated, diabetic retinopathy can cause blindness.
Diabetic retinopathy in simple terms is referred to as a diabetic condition that impacts the eyes. It is caused when the blood sugar level is alarmingly high in the human body. High blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the retina, which allows visualization. They can cause the blood vessels to swell, leak and even block blood from flowing smoothly. The condition may occur among people with both, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

High drama during the first races of the 2006 Northwest Downriver Cup Series promises an exciting season of racing ahead. Turnout was lower than usual for the Cedar River Downriver Races, but the competitions were still exciting with boat damage in the sprint and strainers in the classic. The race organizers required a practice run of the classic course because of logs in several places. Our Friday evening practice was in a beautiful snowstorm, but the weather was better Saturday morning for the second practice run and races.
The sprint was a short race through the hardest rapid on the run. Tom Wier posted two fast times to win overall, and Rufus Knapp found some speed on his second run to take second. Canadian Dean Horsfall, down from Vancouver, was third on the strength of his first run time. Jennie Goldberg, our only K-1 W competitor, put together two solid runs, but wasn’t to show her speed until the classic race. After five successful and fast practice runs, Rich Roehner and Scott Chestnut had trouble in the entrance to the rapid, and their day ended after some significant boat damage.
Two hours later, the long classic began. Jennie Goldberg passed Rufus Knapp on her way to taking second place overall. Dean Horsfall was paddling well, but pinned on a strainer just as Tom Wier was catching him. The two spent nearly ten minutes getting Dean, his boat, and his paddle off of the branches and heading downriver (the times below reflect 9:20 subtracted from the finish time for Tom and Dean).
Races # 3 and 4 in the Northwest Downriver Cup will be next weekend (March 18 th) on the Chilliwack River in British Columbia. Contact Tom Wier (wierc1@yahoo.com) or Jennie Goldberg ( theleague@nwwhitewater.org) for more information.

Facebook shares fell heavily on Thursday when early investors in the social network company were allowed to sell their shares for the first time.
The stock has almost halved in value since the company floated on the New York Stock Exchange at $US38 per share in May and are now another 6% lower.
The lock up applied to early investors, like Goldman Sachs and Microsoft, which bought into Facebook before it became a public company.
Although Facebook has nearly one billion users, the company is struggling to make money out of them.
Lock-ups prevent insiders from selling their shares in a newly-floated firm, and usually start to expire 90 days after the initial public offering.
Facebook reported a loss of $US157 million in the second quarter.

Natural Beauty Product Hunt: Shops That Sell The Goods!
What I was on a mission for was to find new places that sell natural skin care products. I’ve had a handful of people email me asking about organic skin care options and natural products that I thought it was only appropriate to address it all here. I took some time out of my workouts and other weekend shenanigans to find all the places that sell natural beauty products. In short, if you want to keep it natural, then you should have no problem assuming you live close by one of these stores.
Stores You Can Buy Natural Beauty Products At Now!
Prior to these and many other stores adapting to cater to the natural beauty fanatics, you’d have to basically go completely out of your way to find something that suits your needs. I’m talking trucking all the way down to that small boutique with the inconvenient hours that get you in trouble at work. Yup, all that and then some. Well, those days are over. You no longer need to trek all the way down there. Instead, you can hit some of these stores below to pick up what you need and then some!
The days of Target being the place to only grab bulk toilet paper, oversized mouthwash and paper towels are over. There are now plenty of popular natural beauty product brands that are sitting on the shelves at this giant retailer. One of the major lines available is called Honest Beauty. I suggest you check the brand out for more info.
When you’re grabbing a pack of gum and some candy or maybe an acne prescription, head on over to the natural section of the store and you’ll find plenty of organic options for you to take with you before you leave the store. The company has been on a health and wellness kick for quite some time now and this is one of their ways of stepping their game up. You’ll find everything from almond butter to organic coconut face lotion.
Honestly, this one doesn’t even need to be mentioned but I feel like I’m cheating the company by not doing so. Basically, you can find anything on Amazon, even natural and organic beauty products. Younger generations actually prefer to shop online and Amazon is one of their go-to stores that they start their search. It’s an online retail giant that can supply you with anything you need. In fact, they sell a ton of skin care brands we recommend as well.
The once hipster store has now transformed itself into the hot spot for natural products. Grab a vintage tee shirt and some skin care products and you’re good to go! This seems to be a great combiniation for the generation of today.
I don’t know about you but I hit Nordstrom on a regular basis for shoes and other fun stuff. Now I’m hitting the beauty section for natural products on a regular basis.
Might point here is quite simple, your options are vast if you want to keep things all-natural, then you’ve got local options (assuming you live close by these shops). Take some action and give the natural beauty products a shot, you never know, you might actually like them!

Sympathetically converted 2 bedroom pent house apartment in the heart of the village.
The Coach House is situated in the heart of the rural village of Upottery. Set in the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Upottery benefits from a public house, The Sidmouth Arms, a highly regarded primary school and church. The nearby A30 trunk road gives rapid access to both Honiton and the city of Exeter whilst Taunton is within easy reach to the north.
16 Miles to the south is the Jurassic coastline at Lyme Regis, with further popular resorts along the Lyme Bay at Beer, Branscombe and Sidmouth.
This penthouse apartment was sympathetically converted in the late 80's within this beautiful Grade II Listed Old Coach House formed around a paved courtyard.
Built by Lord Sidmouth in the 19th Century as the stables and coach house to serve Upottery Manor next door (now demolished), it is constructed of local stone and flint, with Membury stone ashlar dressings under a slate roof.
This character property would make an ideal full-time residence, or second home.
Set at the top of this impressive property, Cabriolet, has a wealth of light, character and lovely views over the countryside.
The entrance way (shared with one other property) leading up to the apartment with its large arch windows and exposed stone work is a welcoming start to this individual home.
Upon entering the property there is an entrance porch with space for coats and shoes, a further door provides access to the central hall way with a seating area with storage benches. The cosy sitting room has a double aspect and features exposed beams and stonework, this room flows through into the triple aspect kitchen/ diner with a range of units and integrated appliances.
There are two bedrooms, the master with en suite with under floor heating, built in wardrobe and similar exposed beams and stonework that are echoed in the sitting room. There is also a family bathroom.
Providing useful storage is the partly boarded large loft space with loft ladder access, there is also an airing cupboard.
Across the courtyard through the gates there is parking. To the side through the small arch is a large timber garden shed with a concrete floor and electricity connected, there is space in front of the shed for parking. This shed and parking are owned by Cabriolet.
The property is a long leasehold with the remainder of a 999 year lease. The 6 apartment owners of The Coach House share the overall freehold of the building with each property owning one share. The leaseholders currently pay £70 per month to cover general maintenance including planting and building insurance for the properties.
Strictly by appointment only. Call Stags, 01404 45885.
From Honiton proceed on the A30 in a north easterly direction. Continue through Monkton and turn left signposted Rawridge and Upottery. Proceed through the village of Rawridge and continue for approximately one mile into Upottery. The Old Coach House is located opposite the Sidmouth Arms.

Examples alternatives to texture mapping: (a) volume-encoded uv-maps [Tarini 2016], (b) octree textures [Lefebvre et al. 2005], (c) p-tex [Burley and Lacewell 2008] (© Disney Animation Studios), (d) brickmaps [Christensen and Batali 2004], (e) polycube-maps [Tarini et al. 2004], (f) gigavoxels [Crassin et al. 2009], (g) invisible seams [Ray et al. 2010], (h) perfect spatial hashing [Lefebvre and Hoppe 2006], (i) mesh colors [Yuksel et al. 2010], and (j) tile-trees [Lefebvre and Dachsbacher 2007]..
Texture mapping is fundamental to much of computer graphics but has a number of fundamental issues. Creating uv-maps is time consuming and involves extensive manual effort. Distortions and seams introduced by mapping complicate texture authoring, filtering, and procedural synthesis. The final result is optimized for a specific mesh, and it does not necessarily work through LODs. Any change to the geometry implies updating uv-maps and textures. Texturing other surface representations (implicit surfaces, point clouds) requires a conversion to a mesh. As a consequence, texture mapping continues to occupy a substantial portion of artist time, which dominates the cost of world-class video game production.
Since the early days of texturing, research has focused on how to alleviate or even bypass traditional texture-mapping limitations. Unfortunately, the ubiquitous adoption of texture mapping implies that it is seldom questioned as the method of choice, and authoring pipelines and rendering engines have been shaped around its intrinsic limitations, thereby making it harder for alternatives to appear.
Recently, the industry has recognized the advantages of alternative texture-mapping methods such as the increasingly popular P-Tex method. Several advances in GPU technologies have made alternative texturing approaches computationally very efficient, and the industry has shown a renewed interest in moving beyond texture mapping. And the algorithms and data structures used by some alternative approaches extend beyond texturing, toward solid modeling, volume rendering, and simulations on surfaces.
This course summarizes alternative approaches and their advantages and tradeoffs regarding ease of authoring, storage, versatility, rendering quality, and speed.

Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong. Listen. It’s the sound of bells. Beautiful, brass hand bells ringing out in Hot Springs Village, to celebrate the common bond of music.
Mary Jean Cannell is the current director of the Carillon Hand Bell Choir, and for 34 years hand bells have been one of her passions.
"It’s another unique way of making music," she says. The 11 ladies under her tutelage are veterans of the craft and most are accomplished musicians in other instruments.
A hand bell is not a single-person hobby. A hand bell player will perform using one to two bells, one for each hand.
In certain pieces of music, players may be asked to play four to five bells, two or three for each hand.
A performance venue must be large enough to accommodate the 36 feet of table space essential to set up the many hand bells.
"What makes it unique is everybody has their own note," explains Becky Harvey, who has been ringing bells for 27 years.
"If there’s a C chord, C-E-G-C and the person misses it, no one else is going to pick it (the C note) up because it’s no one else’s bell.
"If someone doesn’t get a bell changed, then it’s not going to make the chord—as if there’s a sort of hiccup."
Playing a hand bell for the Carillon Hand Bell Choir necessitates an experienced, medium-level ringer, who must read music and be willing to commit to regular practice attendance.
Cannell and the choir members are on the lookout for substitute ringers who are able to dedicate themselves to joining the choir in an understudy role for practices and performances, should the need arise.
The performances are based in community service, and the choir rings at nursing homes, hospitals, churches, and only plays in facilities large enough to house the group.
There is no fee for their program; however, advanced arrangements are necessitated due to preparation and rehearsal schedules.
For more information on the Carillon Hand Bell Choir, contact Cannell at 922-5280.

Rugby supporters flocked to fan zones located in and around host cities.
Fan zones offered large screens and seating.
With World Rugby’s announcement that the Rugby World Cup (RWC) 2015 was the biggest and best tournament to date, it is not surprising that the next host, Japan, is keen to lap up tips for success.
According to Bernard Lapasset, chairman, “England 2015 has been the most competitive, best-attended, most-watched, most socially engaged, most commercially successful Rugby World Cup” so far, with an “amazing atmosphere in full and vibrant stadia” and “excitement around the host nation and in Cardiff”.
In February, Neil Snowball, chief operating officer of RWC 2015, shared his team’s insights while visiting Tokyo to conduct the formal hand-over from England to Japan.
For Snowball, who was among those kicking off the Webb Ellis Cup’s international tour at the British Embassy Tokyo two years ago, and credits the Japan rugby team with “setting the [RWC 2015] tournament alight”, Japan is a special place to be.
“Being here brings it home what an unbelievable time you have ahead of you”, he told an audience at the British Chamber of Commerce in Japan (BCCJ) event, “Rugby World Cup—The Community Legacy”. And, while he admitted that it would not be easy to host the tournament in 2019 with the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games to be held the following year, he said the opportunities are extensive.
According to Snowball, some of England’s success can be attributed to the know-how gleaned from London 2012 and the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games: “We were able to hoover up a lot of that experience and talent”, he said. “But doing it the other way around here, will be a challenge.
“Get people with event experience—it doesn’t matter what nationality they are—otherwise it could be a long and painful journey, and the event itself may not be as good as it could be”, he said, adding that it is necessary to have “a very clear vision” about what the event is about.
For RWC 2015 organisers, the answer was community. As the 13 venues were spread geographically, there were more opportunities for local people to attend matches. Moreover, matches were allocated to the venue and the city. Fan zones, which drew 1.5mn people, were then set up in and around those cities. Speaking of the fan zones, Snowball said, “when you arrive in the city, you feel it is embracing the world cup; it is not just about what is happening in the venue”.
As Japan’s cities and prefectures own the venues, he added, organisers are in a stronger position than was England to adopt this practice. Doing so requires community activation, which England achieved in three ways.
First was the domestic trophy tour that involved guest appearances in schools, universities and rugby clubs. “[The Webb Ellis Trophy] is such a beautiful object, and people want to be seen with it”, he said. “It was the selfie of 2015”.
Second was a volunteer network that gives back to the community. While organisers could have simply drawn on the database of London 2012 volunteers, it was planned that volunteers at local rugby clubs would make up 75% of the 6,000 people required—and that goal was nearly reached. “We wanted to reward the people who commit time and effort to their rugby clubs every weekend”, he said. These people provided support at train stations and on walking routes, as well as in logistics, accreditation and delivery roles.
Third, organisers created the Festival of Rugby: a community brand that touched 1mn people across the UK through a range of events, from car boot sales and bake offs to mini rugby tournaments and group match-viewings.
The organisers’ efforts, however, were not solely on engagement before and during the tournament, said Snowball. Before he took up his role in 2012, the Rugby Football Union—the governing body for rugby union in England—had established legacy plans.
A giant rugby ball in the wall of Cardiff Castle attracted fans.
An All Schools programme—delivered by real estate and investment services firm CBRE; rugby kit supplier Canterbury; and Gilbert, the firm that created the official ball of RWC 2015—introduced rugby to 750 schools in England. A Back to Rugby programme targeted 16–24 year olds who had once played the sport but had given up. O2, a communications firm, supported a programme for touch rugby that, according to Snowball, is “a great way of keeping people involved in the game”. After the tournament, the equipment used was distributed by the British Army to 1,500 clubs in England and Wales.
“I think [community] is where the BCCJ can really help: to look at what worked in the UK, to offer that advice and support, and to really make the most of the opportunities”, said Snowball.
Yet, opportunities also extend to commerce, tourism and media. For example, while Birmingham normally has 10,000 visitors from South Africa in a year, the city reportedly welcomed 15,000 on the weekend of South Africa’s match there. The resulting economic impact of that weekend is estimated to have been £35mn, but indications are that this figure will be exceeded.
England and Cardiff, meanwhile, welcomed 380,000 international visitors from 149 countries. While many Europeans took advantage of the transport links and came purposefully for the matches, host cities adopted the mantra that attendees should “come a day early and stay a day late, and they all worked towards that”, said Snowball.
Japan, on the other hand, will have to make use of packages to attract visitors. “If [the travel firms] price it sensibly, and in a way you can follow your team, I think that would be sensational for the whole of Japan”, he added.
As a developing rugby nation, Japan can learn from England about how to build up excitement. RWC 2015 organisers produced videos about the sport, including one team talk that had 1.8mn online views, while ambassadors hosted events nationwide.
The whole country came alive with advertising, according to Snowball, who said many business opportunities exist for firms in this area. While RWC 2015 was not able to have domestic partners, RWC 2019—along with six global partners—is likely to have “a whole raft of local partners, which will be international companies”, he said.

is to max out their credit cards.
is to seek first the kingdom of God.
Kingdom language is a bit unnatural to us.
Basically, the ‘kingdom of God’ refers to your placing God on the throne in your heart.
and your will is formed by the will of God.
St. John’s, I often refer to you as ‘Beloved;’ for you are a ‘Beloved Community of Active Faith.’ We are now preparing to cross over into a new century of congregational ministry in a changing world. When you look at the past 96 years of St. John’s ministry, you see many crossings-over and many periods of change. We could go back and discuss each memorial and how God was faithfully leading people of commitment.
Today and the next few weeks can be another significant time: If we will increase our giving by an average of $10 per household, in 2019, we can cross-over into a new chapter of influence and strength.
We are committed to Active Faith; God is going before us and we are going forward. We are following God who makes a path for us.
You are obedient to God, not because you are beaten into submission. You are obedient to God because you have been loved into action. You are not constantly searching for a new rule to follow. You are concerned with care, compassion, creation, reconciliation, redemption, healing and serving.
These are days of commitment, so we can cross over into a new expression of living tomorrow’s life today. Amen and AMEN!

Today, PIMCO enters the "enhanced cash" ETF marketplace with the launch of PIMCO Enhanced Short Maturity Strategy Fund. Portfolio Manager and Executive VP Jerome Schneider and PIMCO Senior VP and Product Manager Paul Reisz explain the ETF launch in an article entitled, "The Effects of the New Normal Environment on Cash and Short Duration Investing," "Simply put, we feel the pickup in yield potential from 'pure cash' to 'enhanced cash' investments is very attractive."
The company's press release, says, "PIMCO, a leading global investment management firm, has launched the PIMCO Enhanced Short Maturity Strategy Fund (NYSE: MINT), an actively managed Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) that employs the firm's proven investment process and cash management expertise. The new fund aims to preserve capital while also looking to offer more attractive yields than investors earn from money market funds." The company also has a Government Limited Maturity Strategy Fund (GOVY) ETF and a Prime Limited Maturity Strategy Fund (PPRM) ETF pending launch.
The release continues, "The post-crisis market environment has increased the need for suitable cash investments, as many individuals, corporations, pensions and other institutions are insisting on stringent risk controls and ready access to their cash -- yet paying the price in the form of money market returns that hover near zero. MINT may invest in similar high quality short-term instruments as money markets, as well as longer maturity bonds and a broader universe of investment-grade fixed income securities. This strategy, along with the transparency and intraday liquidity of the ETF format, makes MINT a potentially attractive solution for investors who want to preserve capital while seeking higher yields."
Schneider says, "Investors are holding a lot of cash, and are compelled to look for something beyond the near-zero yields that money market funds offer.

Today the paperwhites bloomed, filling the air with their spicy, peppery scent. I think it was this photo that first inspired me to force bulbs for Yule. Once again, vintage pottery containing paperwhites line the mantle, sit on every table, dresser and shelf.
Today was also for making. While I was out in the hustle and bustle, the kids put together two gingerbread houses. The houses weren't made from scratch this year, as intended. Part of enjoying the season is having the flexibility to let go of some things that feel like just too much, if needed. Alex, however, did make several varieties of fudge, caramels and cookie dough and the baking and making will continue for the next several days.
In our home, there are stacks of things, bowls filled, ornaments, cards, art and well, stuff, everywhere, especially this time of year. It was no small feat finding a surface for not one, but two gingerbread houses. While I admire the spare, all white, minimally decorated spaces I see on-line, I know we're well-past achieving that. It is no matter; every bit and piece is loved, has memories associated with it, was crafted by one of us or passed on to us by a friend or family. More the merrier? Maybe. Perhaps it's more about making room for making merry.

Thinking for ourselves, forming our own beliefs, and speaking about them openly, are fundamental human rights. But when the opinions of some have the potential to cause permanent damage to our planet, and threaten the lives of millions, that's a different matter altogether.
Much intelligent debate has occurred in recent years with regards to the volumes of scientific data which indicate that increased levels of CO2 in the atmosphere, rising air and sea temperatures, and increased acidification of the oceans, could result in unwanted, and potentially devastating changes to our climate.
But some of this discourse has moved beyond rational conversation and has instead targeted science itself and those in the scientific community. In response to these attacks, 225 members of the US National Academy of Sciences have written a letter about climate change, and scientific theory, that should be read by all. The stakes are too high to ignore those who are devoting their lives to saving ours.
Scientific conclusions derive from an understanding of basic laws supported by laboratory experiments, observations of nature, and mathematical and computer modelling. Like all human beings, scientists make mistakes, but the scientific process is designed to find and correct them. This process is inherently adversarial— scientists build reputations and gain recognition not only for supporting conventional wisdom, but even more so for demonstrating that the scientific consensus is wrong and that there is a better explanation. That's what Galileo, Pasteur, Darwin, and Einstein did. But when some conclusions have been thoroughly and deeply tested, questioned, and examined, they gain the status of "well-established theories" and are often spoken of as "facts."
For instance, there is compelling scientific evidence that our planet is about 4.5bn years old (the theory of the origin of Earth), that our universe was born from a single event about 14bn years ago (the Big Bang theory), and that today's organisms evolved from ones living in the past (the theory of evolution). Even as these are overwhelmingly accepted by the scientific community, fame still awaits anyone who could show these theories to be wrong. Climate change now falls into this category: there is compelling, comprehensive, and consistent objective evidence that humans are changing the climate in ways that threaten our societies and the ecosystems on which we depend.
Many recent assaults on climate science and, more disturbingly, on climate scientists by climate change deniers, are typically driven by special interests or dogma, not by an honest effort to provide an alternative theory that credibly satisfies the evidence. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and other scientific assessments of climate change, which involve thousands of scientists producing massive and comprehensive reports, have, quite expectedly and normally, made some mistakes. When errors are pointed out, they are corrected.
The planet is warming due to increased concentrations of heat-trapping gases in our atmosphere. A snowy winter in Washington does not alter this fact.
Most of the increase in the concentration of these gases over the last century is due to human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation.
Natural causes always play a role in changing Earth's climate, but are now being overwhelmed by human-induced changes.
Warming the planet will cause many other climatic patterns to change at speeds unprecedented in modern times, including increasing rates of sea-level rise and alterations in the hydrologic cycle. Rising concentrations of carbon dioxide are making the oceans more acidic.
The combination of these complex climate changes threatens coastal communities and cities, our food and water supplies, marine and freshwater ecosystems, forests, high mountain environments, and far more.
Much more can be, and has been, said by the world's scientific societies, national academies, and individuals, but these conclusions should be enough to indicate why scientists are concerned about what future generations will face from business- as-usual practices. We urge our policymakers and the public to move forward immediately to address the causes of climate change, including the unrestrained burning of fossil fuels.
We also call for an end to McCarthy- like threats of criminal prosecution against our colleagues based on innuendo and guilt by association, the harassment of scientists by politicians seeking distractions to avoid taking action, and the outright lies being spread about them. Society has two choices: we can ignore the science and hide our heads in the sand and hope we are lucky, or we can act in the public interest to reduce the threat of global climate change quickly and substantively. The good news is that smart and effective actions are possible. But delay must not be an option.
Global Patriot supports the efforts of these scientists…their names follow.
The signatories are all members of the US National Academy of Sciences but are not speaking on its behalf or on behalf of their institutions.
Good question, as a "challenge". Since the names in the articles have links, it should be easy to check for our readers, as well as anyone else trying to validate who signed the petition.
The article was most enjoyable. It's very good that "real" scientists chose to speak, as an authoritative body, and tell us that humans are changing climate very much for the worse, and to defend themselves against the climate change deniers. But, to play the "devil's advocate" : I was wondering-- are they all climate scientists? Do they really all have strong enough credentials to speak authoritatively? Thanks.
Maybe scientists have continued adding their names? Since you peaked (piqued?) my interest, I copied and pasted the names listed above. There are 241 names there. So like the climate temperatures, the list is dynamic, but apparently increasing.
I understand there were in fact 255 scientists involved, not the 225 stated. This only makes their important message that much stronger.

Getting utility bills in the mail doesn’t tend to bring a smile to one’s face. But for homeowners with solar panels installed on their property, getting their electricity bill is now a much more sunny experience.
On February 25, the Duxbury Free Library and Sustainable Duxbury co-sponsored a free informational presentation on solar energy. The “Panel on Solar Panels” provided an opportunity to hear from Duxbury residents about what it’s like to install and own solar panels. Experts at the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center and EnergySage discussed the benefits and complexities of owning and installing solar systems.
Panel members and Duxbury residents James Kerkam, Jeanne Marie Pennvenne, and Pam Magnarelli spoke about their experiences.
Kerkam’s 21 panel, 6.3 kilowatt system is located on the roof of his garage and was installed by E2 Solar of Dennis in 2014 for a total of $27,000. Pennvenne, of 162 Oak Street, hired Alvin Hollis to install a ground mounted solar module on her property in 2009. The unit consists of 20 panels and cost $39,000. Magnarelli, of 45 Walker Road, has a 13 panel unit on the south-facing roof of her home and said that her system cost $36,000 in 2014.
Though the three residents each acknowledged the hefty cost of installation, they all agreed on two things: they’re happy to know they’re helping the environment and feel they made a wise investment. Magnarelli estimates that her system will pay for itself in roughly nine years from the date of installation.
There are incentives for solar panel owners that help to cover the cost of installation. Magnarelli got a $2,700 signing rebate, applied for a $1,700 dollar energy credit from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, got a tax credit for 30 percent of the cost when she filed her federal income taxes and received an additional $1,000 dollars back when she filed her state income taxes.
“After the first year, with the energy credits and the tax rebates, we were down to 55 percent of the original cost,” Magnarelli said.
Within that first year, Magnarelli generated three SRECs, or Solar Renewable Energy Credits, which “ended up giving us, in pocket, another $885 dollars,” she said.
Compared to the year prior to installation, Magnarelli’s household used $900 less in electricity. To further reduce costs and improve efficiency, she had a Mass Save energy audit and installed energy-efficient fixtures.
By last November, Magnarelli had built up a credit with Eversource for about $275 dollars. Penvenne said that her first year experience mirrored that of Magnarelli’s, and that after all of her rebates, tax returns and credits, the cost of her system was down to $22,000. Similarly, her system regularly breaks even or generates a surplus of electricity.
In addtion to the three Duxbury homeowners, two people in the solar industry gave their perspectives. Andrew Belden, Director of Commonwealth Solar Programs for the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, spoke about his organization and the in-depth information behind solar energy technology and Vikram Aggarwal, CEO and founder of EnergySage, explained how is company helps consumers with choosing a solar panel system.
Belden gave some statistics to illustrate the importance of the clean energy economy to Massachusetts.
There are several types of technology that classify as ‘solar,’ but there are two that are prevalent in residential applications. There is solar hot water, a technology that’s been around for over 100 years. It works by using solar panels to heat tubes full of water which is then used to offset the need for electricity to make hot water. The other type is solar photovoltaic systems. This technology, developed in the 1950s and 1960s largely by NASA for use in space, is robust.
That current can then be used to supply power to a home. But photovoltaic panels produce Direct Current, or DC power, and the majority of electricity supplied by the grid is Alternating Current, or AC power. Therefore, an inverter is needed to convert DC power to AC power, which can then be utilized to power appliances, etc.
“In Massachusetts, we have something called ‘net metering.’ So if you’re supplying that power to your home and you don’t have enough load in your home to use all that power, what you can do is actually export that power back to the grid,” Belden. The utility then compensates the homeowner for providing that power. That is a key part of what makes solar power so economical in this state. Another driver of the solar economy is the relatively high cost of electricity; it’s more efficient to generate power with solar than it is to buy it off of the grid from utilities.
“The utilities in Massachusetts are required to buy an increasing proportion of their power from renewable resources, and of those, a specific amount needs to come from solar that’s located within the Commonwealth,” Belden said about Solar Renewable Energy Certificates. Household solar systems not only create power, but also generate certificates, which utilities need to reach compliance requirements. Selling SRECs to utilities gives the homeowner significant value. They are traded on the market and are subject to supply and demand with pricing provided by the state. SRECs can be generated for ten years.
Aggarwal of EnergySage (a company in which the MCEC invested) explained that homeowners have three options when buying a solar system: pay with cash, which translates to more cash out of pocket, but much more savings in the long run; take out a loan to purchase it, which involves no down payment but decreases savings; or have a third party install and own it. However, that company will get most of the benefits and savings are lowest.
EnergySage is an online solar marketplace. Aggarwal described it as “as the Kayak or Expedia of solar energy.” According to Aggarwam, EnergySage helps homeowners and business owners shop online for solar energy equipment and compare contractors and their credentials and ratings. Once signed up, a member identifies the location of the installation, sets their preferences and discloses their current electrical payments. EnergySage takes care of the rest. Pre-screened solar installers will create a system according to the homeowner’s needs and then submit quotes to the user via the EnergySage platform.
EnergySage provides a full listing of each contractor’s information, ratings, reviews and warranties. The quality of the equipment is also listed.
This event was the third that the Duxbury Free Library and Sustainable Duxbury have co-sponsored. Sustainable Duxbury meets once a month on the first Wednesday, September through June.

text: Anthracnose is a serious fungal disease of lentil that can cause severe yield loss. It is now widespread in Saskatchewan and can be devastating in years with warm wet weather. Producers are limited to controlling this disease by crop rotation, foliar spray or development of varieties with resistance to anthracnose. Pathology research shows that we have two major strains of lentil anthracnose. Varieties like CDC Robin have resistance to one of the strains, but after exhaustive screening of cultivated lentil germplasm, no resistance was found to the second strain of anthracnose. One of the newly discovered wild species of lentil, Lens lamottei, has recently been discovered to have resistance to a combination of both strains of anthracnose when grown under field conditions in an inoculated disease nursery. The objective of this project is to determine if L. lamottei can be by crossed with L. culinaris in order to transfer anthracnose resistance into lentil varieties.

The Rottweiler was originally bred in the town of Wurttemberg in Germany and is believed to be descended from the Italian Mastiff. The Rottweiler was widely used as a working dog in the Middle Ages and was used as a guard dog, a police dog, a herder and a messenger dog. The German Rottweiler Club was established in Germany in 1907, while the International Rottweiler Club was established later in the same year and both of these clubs helped to set the standard for the Rottweiler breed.
Rottweilers have muscular, powerful bodies with broad heads and rounded foreheads. They have well-developed muzzles, while their teeth come together in a scissors bite. They are characterised by a black nose and lips, while the inside of the mouth tends to be dark. While their medium-sized eyes are typically dark brown, Rottweilers occasionally have blue eyes, while they may also have one dark brown eye and one blue eye. The rear dewclaws of the Rottweiler are often removed, while the breed features a broad and deep chest. The Rottweiler is covered with short, thick fur, which is black with mahogany and rust markings on the muzzle, cheeks, legs and paws. Some Rottweilers also feature red fur with brown markings, which is a result of a deficiency in the hair gene.
The Rottweiler is prized for its competitive obedience and is widely used for tasks such as search and rescue, tracking, guiding the blind and disabled and carting. However, the Rottweiler’s gentle nature and loyalty also make it a good family dog. The Rottweiler is calm and easily trainable, especially if training is started from an early age. The breed needs a firm hand to control its massive bulk and responds well to commands. It is important to establish dominance over this breed so that it does not try to be act as the pack leader. The Rottweiler can live alongside other household pets if introduced to them as a puppy.
The Rottweiler is prone to a number of health problems such as dysplasia and ACL damage, while entropion, which is the narrowing of the gap between the eyelids, can also occur. Rottweilers tend to snore when they sleep and their diet and food intake need to be monitored carefully to make sure that they do not overeat.
Rottweilers can live either indoors or outdoors and require only minimal space for exercise in a yard or home.
The Rottweiler requires lots of exercise and/or work in order to thrive. In addition to long walks, Rottweilers also enjoy activities such as swimming, running alongside bicycles and playing ball games. Their fur is easy to groom and can be brushed with a firm bristled brush.

70 years after the end of World War 2 the world is still divided in the ways different regions view those events. The war won by a monstrous human sacrifice is presented with an appalling distortion around the globe while the commemoration of it is used primarily as a political tool to influence current conflicts.
As the foundations of a person’s worldview is laid in the early years of development, it is crucially important for schools to provide unbiased, correct information about world history. That is to grow a generation of individuals aware of the historical background of the world it lives in and situations taking place across the globe at the moment.
However, textbooks in various parts of the world reflect a different view held by their authors. This way, Russia known for its patriotic propaganda almost completely ignores in its school history programme any achievements made by any of the Allies apart from the Soviet Union. 9th of May, the second biggest holiday in the post-Soviet republics and an emphasis on the Great Patriotic War (that stands for the war specifically between the Soviet Union and Germany) at school build an impression within the country that the USSR solely won the entire war.
But at least those actually were Soviet soldiers who conquered Berlin after the sacrifice of terrifying number of 27 million lives was made. The United States that one would expect to provide a more balanced account of events for young people seems to have forgotten that it joined the war as late as in 1944. From the textbooks it is easy to conclude that the US on its own with a certain support of Great Britain brought the war to a victorious end.
Similarly, while Russian textbooks simply omit the Soviet invasion to Poland in 1939, American textbooks draw USSR as part of the Axis prior to 1941, when Germany attacked it, discrediting the fact that the USSR had taken many attempts to prevent the war before it broke out.
What is even more shameful is the way current political leaders are handling the 70 years anniversary of the victory. Probably the biggest embarrassment is the way Russian TV channels display videos that are meant to glorify the victory turning into those glorifying Russian military forces armed with the same guns that are widely used in Ukraine at those very moments. Meanwhile, one of the main symbols of the victory, the Ribbon of Saint George is being adapted in Ukraine by pro-Russian separatists.Meanwhile, one of the main symbols of the victory, the Ribbon of Saint George is being adapted in Ukraine by pro-Russian separatists. According to a recently closed Kazakhstan’s opposition magazine “ADAM”, “there is a clear feeling that today’s Russia is standing by the point of no return and can become a reason of a war of a no smaller scale by learning the wrong lessons from the past war”.
If certain countries do not wish to enter a new Cold War era, it is vital to provide unbiased, balanced and non-politicised information about historic facts for children and young people. At a time when the world is bouncing on the verge of a new Cold War, it could not be more important to remind the world, and especially the younger generation of achievements that both sides of the Atlantic reached together in the past through help and co-operation.

Photo by Amanda DeBerry Local volunteers shave their heads to raise awareness for childhood cancer.
Nearly 500 people from the St. Louis area are doing their part to fight childhood cancer. They said farewell to their hair and shaved their heads—and they couldn’t be more proud.
March 7 marked the 12th annual St. Baldrick’s event, the biggest event in the world, according to Event Coordinator Peggy Schneider. The event was held at the Helen Fitzgerald’s Irish Grill & Pub in South County.
Every three minutes worldwide, a child is diagnosed with cancer. Kids aren’t alone in their fight to battle the disease, though.
Men, women, sons, and daughters all pledged to shave their heads to help find cures for those kids.
According to the St. Baldrick’s website, more than 189,660 volunteers, including more than 17,200 women, have shaved in solidarity with children fighting cancer at events across the nation. The organization has raised more than $117 million, and the Helen Fitzgerald’s event has earned close to $4 million since 2004.
All of the money raised goes towards funding for childhood cancer research.
Local volunteers shave their heads to raise awareness for childhood cancer.
The St. Baldrick’s Foundation is a volunteer-driven and donor-centered charity dedicated to raising money for children’s cancer research and funding the most promising research initiatives to find cures. “Once you participate you feel like you have to come back…everyone that participates is a volunteer,” said Schneider.
The Foundation hosts signature head-shaving events where volunteers collect pledges and then shave their heads. They call them crazy head shaving people because they’re crazy enough to think that this head-shaving thing can find cures for childhood cancer.
Mica and his team, 6 is a Serious Number, raised over $45,000 dollars this year. St. Baldrick’s needs help raising funds and awareness so that no kid ever has to go through cancer.
“If we keep raising money, then hopefully through this event we will help find a cure for childhood cancer down the road,” said Mica.

Lens Filters. Should You Buy One and What Are They Good For?
Lens filters, which thread on to the end of a DSLR lens, used to be critical to photography. Now that many of the functions lens filters perform happen automatically within a camera’s imaging systems, photographers may question the need for filters. Advanced technology has made some lens filters obsolete, but filters are still useful for some types of photography. Before purchasing a filter, be aware that filters come in different sizes to fit different camera lenses, so a filter for your standard lens might not fit all other lenses you have. Michigan Technical University has a great guide for understanding lens-to-filter fit. There are hundreds of different types of filters, but most fall into five major categories.
Clear filters are clear glass meant to protect camera lenses, and high quality clear filters have no effect on images taken with a DSLR camera. Lower quality clear filters that are too thick or have imperfections in the glass may cause aberrations or defects in images, but this is true of any low quality lens filter used in photography (for more on the effects of low quality filters with picture explanations, visit Birchtree Photography).
UV filters are also a type of clear glass filter, but the glass will block most UV, or ultraviolet, light from reaching the image sensor. Since most modern DSLRs do not pick up UV light the way film once did, UV filters are not usually required for digital photography except at high elevations. However, many digital photographers use UV filters to protect the camera lens from dust and scratches since it does not affect image quality, and even a high quality UV filter is less expensive than a lens replacement.
Once the most common lens filters, polarizing filters are now nearly obsolete for all but professional photographers. Polarizing filters reduce the amount of reflected light from objects such as water while having the least effect possible on ambient light when proper exposure is used. Since polarizing filters block one or more stops of light, this means that exposure time must be lengthened and necessitates a tripod. The situation where polarizing filters are most useful is in professional landscape photography, especially since autofocus cannot be used with most polarizing filters. Quality polarizing filters are also expensive. The good news is, for most DSLR users, a polarizing filter isn’t necessary.
Before digital color and white balancing, color lens filters were important to ensure accurate color recording, especially in monochrome photography. Now many functions of basic color filters have been replaced by on-board DSLR adjustments. The effects of a few types of color filters can’t be replaced, particularly those filters with the deepest color saturation saturating too deeply with DSLR settings leads to over-exaggerated results. Color-blocking filters can’t be replaced by DSLRs, either, but these effects are usually only used in professional digital photography. As with polarizing filters, for most photography color filters aren’t necessary.
Cross screens are filters of clear glass embedded with ultra-fine cross hatched grating, like a window screen. The cross hatches do not appear in the image, but they cause light points to diffract and appear as "star bursts". The more cross hatches there are the more points to each "star burst". Star-Four, Star-Six, and Star-Eight are the most common. Some DSLR cameras have special effects to replicate this, and it can also be done in photography editing programs, but in this case technology hasn’t caught up to the original. Photographers who want a good star burst effect in their digital photography should invest in a cross screen filter.
Macro lens filters act like a magnifying glass, bringing a macro lens effect to standard camera lenses. Macro lens filters are much less expensive than macro camera lenses, especially for those who are unsure if they want to do macro photography or do not do it frequently. When using a macro filter, a DSLR must be focused manually and focus range is severely limited while a macro filter is in place. However, once photographers learn how to work with a macro filter it can be a worthwhile investment.
Despite calls for the demise of lens filters, certain groups of lens filters still have a place in digital photography. If for no other reason than to protect the expensive optics of a DSLR lens, photographers should use at least a clear glass filter in most situations. Other types of lens filters are essential for creative photography since they have not yet been replaced by technology. For more information on choosing and sizing a filter for your DSLR, d-store has an excellent FAQ page.
On most DSLR cameras you can press halfway down on the shutter button to auto focus. If you keep holding down that button you should be able to recompose your photo with the focus locked. Makes composition a little bit easier. Check your owners manual to be sure.

Numerous say that you should lead all your exploration first before you start writing. Through individual experience, I have found that this is not exceptionally helpful guidance. The more profound you dig into your dissertation, the more you overlook focuses that you believed were great and subtle elements that demonstrate you have truly place sweat into your research. Don’t simply highlight and imagine that a couple side notes will do. Write your notes on a word archive, however minor the data has all the earmarks of being. When you need to truly start writing the sections of your parts, you will have a few pages of notes and realities which you can right away move around and start to frame a fairly streaming contention.
Tip 2: Reference as you come or perpetually think twice about it.
This does not mean you truly need to reference each and every source legitimately, however next to each thought that is not yours, you should include a commentary that at any rate lets you know what source it is and at what page. Words can’t depict the torment and distress of needing to experience ten thousand expressions of a dissertation and discovering each and every source that you utilized.
Continuously move down your work. This does not imply that you need to go out and purchase the most recent hard drive that Apple offers! Despite what might be expected, send your work to yourself through email the real dissertation, as well as envelopes which have your research.
Numerous students think that it’s hard to start writing in light of the fact that they can’t write a presentation that is suitable for their whole dissertation. Not all students are similar to this; some can’t start unless they have a presentation recorded. In any case, for those of you that are battling with presentations, try not to be put off from writing different parts of your sections. In this circumstance, you should write your presentation last or as you are writing the centre sections of your dissertation. This is on account of it is not until you have started written work the genuine substance of your dissertation that you build up precisely what request your contentions will be introduced. As you are thinking of you will likewise go over research that will add new viewpoints to your dissertation and conclusions revealing insight into fascinating focuses that you might not have considered whilst you wrote your presentation toward the starting. Be that as it may, this does not mean you should not know the heading of your dissertation from the earliest starting point, yet this is the thing that a proposition is for, not so much a presentation so on the off chance that you are truly discovering yourself battling with the presentation, then rest guaranteed there is literally nothing the issue with writing it even at the very end.
Even though ten thousand words appear like an interminable mission, challenge I say it-it’s not extremely hard to write ten thousand words. This is obviously totally reliant on your research. On the off chance that you have done great research, utilized a scope of sources and dove profound into issues and recognized scientific focuses, then it is basic to really discover yourself going over the word count.
Make a point that you give yourself time to experience your dissertation and alter. A decent piece is dependably the after-effect of a few drafts. It is useful to print your work, your eyes get used to a screen and having the words on an alternate organization can help you distinguish distinctive missteps. Understand that composition an exposition is a procedure. What is implied by this is that try not to be discouraged in the event that you are not 100% content with what you write; a great dissertation requires however many drafts as could be allowed. Alter, alter, alter, and don’t stop.

"You can swim until the day you die. You can't run until the day you die. Swimming is so easy on your body." That's the line of reasoning that Linda H.'s husband used to convince her to get an Endless Pool®.
That was in 2010, when she'd only been racing triathlons for a few years. She wasn't certain that she'd stick with multisport, but she's now glad they made the investment. "I really, really love the pool," she says from her Nevada home. "It's done more for me than I imagined."
Just a simple garage setting for a world-class training pool: that's all Linda needs to do some serious Endless Pools training for the three-day, 320-mile Ultraman triathlon. "I really, really love the pool," she enthuses. "It's done more for me than I imagined!"
"I started doing triathlon about 10 or 12 years ago," she recalls. "All my friends run. I was afraid it was going to tear my body up. I was already having joint pain. I started doing triathlon to get endurance without beating myself up" from the high-impact pounding of running, by incorporating low-impact cycling and swimming.
In 2010, she completed her first IRONMAN® triathlon, crossing the finish line in under 14-1/2 hours. "I've never been fast," she admits to explain why she focuses on endurance training.
That year, she was lucky enough to make it to the IRONMAN World Championships in Kona, gaining entry with her first lottery. It was at the event's expo that she first tried the Endless Pool®.
"I was a terrible swimmer," Linda confesses. Initially, she couldn't even put her face under water. "I could not possibly have trained without my Endless Pool."
"I wanted to train up to four and a half hours" for Ultraman events, a series of three-day, 320-mile triathlons that kick off with a 10-km swim. "I don't know of any pool within any reasonable distance where I could swim long enough to see my time in a 10K," says Linda.
"Normally, I swam an hour at a time" in the public pool because that was the maximum allowed; once she had her Endless Pool installed, she could push her limits. "I started adding 5 minutes a week to a long swim."
Convenience: "I love it because I can go any darn time I want to! Right now, we have a foot to a foot and a half of snow outside, and I'd have to drive 15 miles to the nearest pool."
The Open-Water Feel: For a triathlete, the most direct perk of the Endless Pool is its signature swim current. "For open water swimming, it is much more realistic in how you feel without all of those turns, especially when you do many thousands of yards."
Low Chlorine: "The wonderful thing about the Endless Pool is you're not exposed to all the chemicals in a regular pool," Linda notes. She recalls swimming in a chlorinated 50-meter pool while wearing a popular brand of black kinesiology tape. She swam for over three hours, during which "the Rock Tape went from black to light gray!"
Stroke Efficiency: The current is fully adjustable, but at any given setting, she finds it provides all the discipline she needs. "Since the pump is [at a] constant speed, I have a constant reminder of my pace. I don't tend to drag later in the long swim."
Recovery: Her husband, John, who's also a triathlete, "loves the pool. After a long run, you get in the pool, swim for an hour, and you feel better."
Ultraman triathlete and Endless Pool owner Linda found us on Facebook to volunteer her thoughts on training with her own at-home swimming machine.
With the Endless Pool as part of her training arsenal, Linda shows little sign of slowing. "I've done 15 full Ironman and Ultraman, and I've been to Kona three times – twice were lottery slots, and the third time, I won my age group in Lake Tahoe."
She's currently in training for the Florida Double ANVIL, a double iron-distance event that kicks off with a 4.8-mile swim. Linda can cycle in place in her garage just steps from her Endless Pool. With her 20 to 30-hour weekly training schedule, augmented by at-home convenience, she's confident she'll be ready for the challenge.
Linda can cycle in place in her garage just steps from her swim-in-place Endless Pool. As she prepares for the 4.8-mile kickoff swim in the Florida Double ANVIL, she says, "I could not possibly have trained without my Endless Pool." She cites the at-home convenience and the open-water feel of the Endless Pools current among the top reasons she uses it for her triathlon training.

We are still alive in our 2014-15 NFL Survivor Pool after a week #3 win by the Saints. So far we have used PHI, DEN, and NWO. It gets a bit tougher as the bye weeks have now started and we only have 13 games to choose from. There are two choices that stand out in week #4. The Chargers over the Jags and the Steelers over the Bucs. Bodog Canada has the Chargers as a huge -14 point favourite and the Steelers as a -9 point favourite. The Chargers have injury concerns at the RB position but the Jags have concerns at every position. We will take the Chargers as our week #4 Survivor Pool pick.

I spent over a decade as a software development engineer in test (SDET) before I formally changed my job discipline to that of programming writer and then content developer. Many friends and family have asked or guessed why I made this change and most of the guesses tend to land in the “something easier than testing” bucket but that’s not the case at all. I actually moved from test to content because I discovered my knack for organizing data and information into a coherent flow fed a brand new passion for teaching, especially for teaching about processes and technology to those new to it.
In my daily work life, I’ve always been a writer in one way or another. I would be the person who would write out test processes, or would help design test architectures. I wrote and taught several internal classes when I decided I could do a better job than the current versions being offered. Then, in the midst of the first real push toward software security and security testing, after I had sat yet another junior tester down and explained the what SQL injection was, I told my husband that I should just write a book on security testing. He challenged me to do it and the idea took hold in the guise of a dare. I’ve always had problems resisting a dare. I wrote that book and sold it, despite the prevailing theory in the industry there was no market at all for books on testing. It sold and still sells a bit.
• I learned that I really did love teaching others what I knew and did. I loved researching things I didn’t know as much about and putting that information together as well. Heck, I had to love it to spend nearly 5 full months working on this book every night at home, after dinner and after my youngest son was in bed.
• I learned that writing an instructional book is a huge amount of gathering and organizing raw data, developing a structure and a fair number of false starts before a good balance is struck and the subject matter flows into a coherent whole. It wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be, honestly.
• I learned that, while I loved testing, I loved the ability to talk directly to my users in the instructions I wrote and to feel like I’m trying to solve their problems even more.
Above all, I realized that my prior ideas of what a technical writer was and what the job entailed were incorrect, at least in my industry. It was much more about teaching and finding ways to get concepts and information across than it ever was about word choices, writing tone or any cute turns of phrase. Illustrations needed to be functional more than just add color or flair. The technical details MUST be correct and the user must be able to understand them or nothing else really matters.
In my new role as a programming writer, supporting all currently shipping Windows Embedded products, I take as my prime directive to be a teacher first.

The ability to track the status of RFI's, Change Order's and Submittals. It prints out great reports you can take to meetings allowing me to question the progress or lack of progress for all and give a copy to everyone to see who is the holdup.
I don't like not having the ability to change the column widths in the Payment Application to give the owner more Description with out having to print a more detailed report.
This is a solid, easy to use, project management app that works great for any type of subcontractor. It is very intuitive and easy to use. Anyone with basic Microsoft skills will easily adapt to this software. It handles all the necessary functions needed for project managers - RFIs, submittals, POs, subcontracts, changes orders, and will do a whole list of other things as well.
Ease of use and cost.
Would like to be able to customize easier; some forms don't display info exactly how I would prefer.
Enjoying the ability to organize and keep projects up to date all in one place.
Feature set that allows for all aspects of a project to be recorded, and made available for our clients and designer. As well as ability to upload project working files and work orders. Flexibility is excellent.
So far some issues with minor software glitches but this can be down to our network speeds.
Able to track RFI's, NCN's, Submittals with ease. You can print reports search reports easily. This program has been a great addition to our company.
Interface can use some modification in access.
The software is great for multiple people working on the same project. Easy to take notes and communicate easily with others. Easy to save and update notes and files.
Easy management tools and help when I needed it! The support really was there at all hours if I needed it.
I enjoyed it 100%! There was nothing I did not use on this program!

Dorothy is presently doing the Superior Dance in the conservatory, and we must admit to being rather overjoyed ourself. With all due respect to our good friends at BrontëBlog, let them go pick on the Haworth trio for a while! The carpetbaggers have exploited Jane long enough, and should give the other lady writers time to exhibit.
are not serious. That’s negativism due to the recession in the UK.
This, coupled with the reprints of P&P, R&J, and WH with Twilight-inspired covers, makes me think there is no coincidence. The Brontes are becoming big because there is a market that will blindly follow them because they are mentioned in Twilight.
Do you think Dorothy would consider a ‘sojourn’ with us? She makes great tea and we will need plenty of it in a few months’ time.
Let’s also hope the monster mash-up regurgitators move on to the Brooding Brontës for a bit; they’ve certainly got enough good material to crib from over there….
They’ve already got monsters – Cathy and Heathcliff.

In short, Minister Theo Nicol took his time to explain into details what the AGENDA FOR PROSPERITY AND THE CONSTITUTIONAL REVIEW is all about and government’s determination to make our country a better nation to be envied by the world as a whole.
“My dear brothers and sisters, Sierra Leone as a nation under the rule of the APC is moving and growing positively and I tell you no lie; no weapon fashion against us shall prosper. All that President Koroma is saying to you is – PREPARE YOURSELVES TO GO BACK HOME- thereby making your own contribution to national development” he said.
During questions and answer time, questions were asked regarding the state of electricity, Bumbuna, water supply, State security, Youth training and employment, network providers credit cost, Education, infrastructure, Agriculture, general employment, State of the economy, freedom of speech and Press, state of the SLAFA League, Banking system and micro credit, Tourism and Governance at large. They further asked for clarifications on the AGENDA FOR PROSPERITY and that of THE CONSTITUTIONAL REVIEW. Again the Minister took extra time to give appropriate answers to all questions asked.

I think the intelligent thing about it is that you have to carefully listen to it all to grasp it, and because I'm not in every scene - colossal disappointment to everybody that it may be - I'm not getting the full picture here today while recording it.
Kids now are so used to surround sound and the power in theater speakers, that the concert hall is a disappointment to them.
It's a disappointment to lose key players. On the other hand it creates an opportunity to play other players.
