JumboMax® Grips congratulates Bryson DeChambeau on his first professional victory at the DAP Championship
Posted by Joe Wieczorek on 13th Sep 2016
(OCALA, FL) – Over the past two years, JumboMax Grips have helped Bryson DeChambeau capture the 2015 NCAA Men's Division I Individual Championship, the 2015 U.S. Amateur Championship, and earn The Silver Cup as the Low Amateur at the 2016 Masters. This past weekend, JumboMax's new Tour Series Grips helped DeChambeau capture his first ever professional victory at the 2016 DAP Championship.
DeChambeau emerged victorious on Sunday in a four-way playoff with a par on the second extra hole at the DAP Championship held at the Canterbury Golf Club in Beachwood, OH. With this win, DeChambeau secured his PGA TOUR card for the 2016-2017 season and became the 15th player in Web.com Tour history to win in his first start. He's also now the youngest winner on the Web.com Tour this season at 22 years, 11 months, 26 days.
"Oh my gosh, it's amazing. It's beyond my wildest dreams. I'm just so ecstatic about today," said DeChambeau. "All these guys out here could play on the PGA TOUR no problem. It's just about getting it done, staying patient, executing shots, and that's luckily what I was able to do this week."
DeChambeau has been playing JumboMax's Original Wrap Series Grips for the past 5 years and just recently made the switch to the new Tour Series Grips. The JumboMax Tour Series Grips feature a deeply-textured, all-weather design for incredible feel and tackiness, and the performance better players require. The Tour Series takes JumboMax Grips game-improving performance to a whole new level.
"We'd like to congratulate Bryson on his first professional victory and say that we're very excited to see what the future holds," said John Mazzanoble, V.P. of Sales for JumboMax Grips. "We're honored to be a part of the history this young man is making."

Statutory consultations published: Secondary transfer arrangements for Craighead & Lennoxtown Primaries
The Council has published the consultation reports on the secondary transfer arrangements for children who live in the catchment areas of Craighead and Lennoxtown Primary Schools.
Parties interested in the consultation now have three weeks to view the consultation reports, voice concerns, and approach and lobby the councillors who will be deciding on the proposals at a Special Meeting of the Council on 19 December.
The Council launched the consultation on Monday 9 September, asking a range of stakeholders to share their views on the following proposals:
children, who live in the catchment area of Craighead Primary in Milton of Campsie should be zoned to Kirkintilloch High School as a non-denominational secondary school within East Dunbartonshire; this would be in addition to the current options of Kilsyth Academy, in North Lanarkshire and St Ninian's High School in East Dunbartonshire.
children, who live in the catchment area of Lennoxtown Primary in Lennoxtown should be zoned to Lenzie Academy as a non-denominational secondary school within East Dunbartonshire; this would be in addition to the current options of Kilsyth Academy, in North Lanarkshire and St Ninian's High School in East Dunbartonshire.
Consultees were invited to complete an online survey and two public meetings were held.
Joint Council Leader, Councillor Andrew Polson said, "I would like to thank everyone who took the time to complete the consultation for sharing their views. I would urge interested parties to now review the consultation reports which are available on the Council website."
Joint Council Leader, Councillor Vaughan Moody, added, "Stakeholders now have the opportunity to digest the contents of the consultation reports and speak to their local Councillors about any issues prior to the Special Meeting of the Council on Thursday 19 December."
The consultation reports are available here

Q: New-PSDrive does not support credentials? I am trying to map a drive in PowerShell 2.0 and getting this error?
New-PSDrive –Name ftp –PSProvider FileSystem –Root "\\server\folder" -Credential $credential
The provider does not support the use of credentials. Perform the operation again without specifying credentials.

However, Get-Help New-PSDrive shows -Credential as a valid option?
Is this a version issue in PS?
Is there an alternative way to do the same...I would prefer to keep this within PS (since the drive is PS only then) and not drop out to NET USE - NET USE /d but needs must!

A: It's a bug in PowerShell 2.0
Workaround from the above link:
$net = new-object -ComObject WScript.Network
$net.MapNetworkDrive("u:", "\\server\share", $false, "domain\user", "password")

Supposedly fixed in 3.0 (I haven't tested it myself).

A: If you still get the error after installing KB2819745 (powershell 4) then you might have forgotten Dotnet 4.5.
DotNet 4.5 is a requirement for WinRM 4 / Powershell 4, yet the msu installs without it.
This was the issue i was facing, after installing KB2819745 i still got the error. Install Dotnet 4.5 and then rerun KB2819745. Strangely it will reinstall when you installed dotnet, but without dotnet it says its already installed

A: echo "pass"| net use \\server\share /user:domain\user
it is also working :)

Park provides one of our agency customers with property printing services. They are a design, marketing and PR consultancy that represents a selection of exclusive property owners. They had an opportunity to pitch to a VERY high profile client, but timings were tight, the pitch was the very next day!
The brief to us was to produce a luxurious presentation fit to be shown to a king! We were alerted to this at 09.00hrs one morning, with copies required by 20.30hrs that evening.
Obviously digital printing was the way forward. It was agreed that the presentation was to be post screw bound with a heavy cloth lined front and back cover, foiled on the face, and was to sit within a high quality cloth lined box, foiled on its top, with a protective foam insert.
The foiling die artwork for the box and cover arrived at 10.15hrs. This was sent immediately to the die-maker company, which completed it by 16.30hrs, ready for collection (dies usually take 48 hours to produce).
Artwork for the text and positional guides for the foil arrived at 13.30hrs. The text was printed on our HP Indigo 7800 and text blocks sent to our binding partner at 17.30hrs to coincide with the receipt of the die. Our partner immediately prioritised our project, (reflecting the strength of the relationship with us), lined, made up and foiled the boxes and then laser cut and inserted the foam. The pre-cut cover boards and spine for the brochure were lined with cloth externally and with paper internally before being foiled and drilled, and the text bound in with 3 brass screws.
The 4 finished copies were delivered by hand at 20.00hrs.

UK's attitude to EU immigration hardens
Thu, 2014-01-30 06:55 PM
4657169102_a759f93463_z.jpg

Polls show that almost half of UK citizens do not believe that Romanians and Bulgarians should be allowed to live and work in the UK. More than half of people questioned in another recent poll believe that immigration has had negative consequences for the country.
Another poll suggests that the anti-immigration UK Independence Party may come second in the UK's elections for the European Parliament in May this year. This is likely to result in the UK's Coalition government trying to show itself to be more 'anti-immigrant' to try to win back votes.
Polls also provide a possible explanation for the UK's anti-immigration sentiment; most Britons believe that there are many more immigrants living in the country than is actually the case. This is probably because the UK media present a somewhat one-sided version of the truth.
Three quarter of Britons want cut in immigration
A BBC poll conducted early in January 2014 showed that over three quarters of those questioned wanted immigration cut. 56% wanted it reduced 'a lot' and a further 21% wanted it reduced 'a little'.
The poll, produced for a BBC programme, The Truth About Immigration, showed that even some of those who believe that immigration is good for the economy want the number of immigrants coming to the UK reduced. Only 4% of those questioned wanted immigration to increase.
Among lower-qualified people, the anti-immigration sentiment was even more extreme. 85% of those with no qualifications wanted to see immigration reduced and 88% of those in manual jobs want a reduction.
Low-skilled immigrants from EU
This may have something to do with the fact that, in recent years, a large number of immigrants have come from eastern Europe to work in lower skilled and manual work.
This has had the effect, some believe, of placing downward pressure on wages for lower skilled work, such as painting and decorating and catering work.
Also, polling shows that Britons tend to overestimate the number of immigrants in the country. An Ipsos-Mori poll carried out in July 2013 showed that many Britons believe that about 30% of the UK's population is now made up of immigrants.
One eighth of UK population born abroad
In fact, analysis of census data shows that only 13% or one eighth of the population was born abroad.
The UK Independence Party (UKIP) seems to be benefiting from this anti-immigration sentiment. In a poll conducted by pollsters YouGov, 28% of respondents stated that they intended to vote for UKIP in the May European Parliament elections, which puts UKIP in second place behind the Labour Party on 32%.
The Conservative Party, led by Prime Minister David Cameron, attracted only 23% of those surveyed. Some of this support can be accounted for by general dissatisfaction with the Coalition government (in which the Conservatives are the senior partners to the Liberal Democrats) but some will be due to UKIP's strongly anti-immigration stance.
UKIP supports immigration moratorium
The UKIP leader, Nigel Farage, told the BBC early in January 2014 that he would support a moratorium on permanent immigration for five years, even if this would damage the economy.
Mr Farage said that, during the five year period when no permanent immigration would be allowed, skilled workers would still be able to come to work in the UK using temporary work permits; this would not lead to permanent residence at a later date.
He said 'If you said to me do you want to see another five million people come to Britain, and if that happened we would all be slightly richer, I would say, 'Do you know what? I would rather we were not slightly richer. I would rather we had communities that were rather more united and we had a situation where young unemployed British people had a realistic chance of getting a job'.
Majority approve of skilled immigration
Despite the general consensus against mass immigration, a consistent majority of those questioned in UK polls say they approve of skilled immigration, no matter where it comes from.
In the recent British Social Attitudes Survey carried out by NatCen Social Research, 63% were in favour of skilled migrants from eastern Europe coming to do jobs in the UK. 67% think students should come to study in the UK if they have good grades.

O Amor nos Tempos do Cólera (no original em inglês: Love in the Time of Cholera) é um filme de estadunidense e colombiano de 2007, do gênero drama, dirigido por Mike Newell e com roteiro baseado no livro de mesmo nome do escritor colombiano Gabriel García Márquez.

O produtor do filme, Scott Steindorff, ficou três anos tentando convencer Márquez a liberar os direitos do livro. Steindorff dizia a Márquez que era o próprio Florentino e que não desistiria enquanto não conseguisse os direitos.

Em sua própria iniciativa, Márquez convidou a cantora Shakira para escrever duas canções para a trilha sonora do filme. As canções foram escritas com o compositor brasileiro Antonio Pinto, responsável pela trilha sonora original, e que também fez a trilha de Cidade de Deus e Lord of War.

Pela primeira vez, um livro de Márquez foi transformado em um filme por um grande estúdio hollywoodiano. Foi também o primeiro filme em língua inglesa da atriz Fernanda Montenegro. Foi rodado na cidade histórica de Cartagena, na Colômbia.

O filme teve sua estréia mundial em 4 de outubro de 2007, no Festival do Rio. O MPAA classificou o filme para maiores de dezoito anos devido a conteúdo de caráter sexual, nudez e linguagem inapropriada.

Sinopse
O filme conta a história do triângulo amoroso formado por Fermina Daza e seus dois pretendentes, Florentino Ariza e Juvenal Urbino, que dura cinquenta anos, de 1880 até 1930.

Florentino apaixona-se pela bela Fermina Daza em sua juventude, o que seria contráditório aos desejos do seu pai que rumou até a cidade para o futuro da filha, eis que acaba conhecendo o brilhante médico Juvenal Urbino e o credita a mão do seu bem mais precioso.

Sangrando, Florentino nada pode fazer e espera anos até ter a oportunidade de estar novamente com sua amada, realizando sua espera após o sepultamento de Juvenal Urbino, onde se aproxima de Firmina e diz que estava esperando aquele dia por 51 anos, 9 meses e 4 dias.

Melbourne Victory Football Club has today announced that club stalwart Archie Thompson has signed a one-year contract extension, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2015/16 Hyundai A-League season.
Thompson, the Hyundai A-League's leading scorer with 89 goals, will join his team-mates on Monday when the playing group returns from its end-of-season break.
With 210 A-League games to his credit, Thompson is one of only nine players to appear in 200 or more matches since the competition began in 2005.
Melbourne Victory CEO Ian Robson said the retention of Thompson on the playing roster was an outcome that the club had always been working towards.
"Kevin Muscat said all along that he wanted Archie to stay at the club," Robson said.
"With the Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiations between FFA and PFA stalling, we moved to reach a position with Archie that enables him to stay and commence pre-season training as a contracted player on Monday.
"We are all thrilled to have Archie wear the Melbourne Victory strip for an incredible 11th consecutive season and for him to play his part in contributing to our title defence."
The 36-year-old said he was ecstatic to be staying and playing for a club he has enjoyed so much success at.
"I always wanted to stay and now that it has all worked out that way, I couldn't be happier," Thompson said.
"To be a one-club player is very important to me and I feel like I can give something back to the club and the fans that have been so supportive of me over 10 great years."


So you think you know your con artists?
Which major organization did "holistic psychiatrist" Kelly Brogan falsely accuse of supporting birth control in Africa via vaccinations?
What inanimate substance did woo peddler David Wolfe hilariously claim is alive?
Which doctor sells the most "toxic", heavy-metal containing products branded in his own name: Mercola, Hyman, or Oz?
Dr. Joe Mercola is infamous for his zero tolerance policy on "harmful" chemicals (read: those not sold via his online store). He's pontificated about clearing an entire building due to a mercury spill smaller than the size of a tooth filling, so I find it ironic that after writing nearly three dozen articles on pesticide dangers, he's selling a personal care product that contains…. wait for it… a pesticide.
Surprised? You shouldn't be. Grab your credit cards and breathing gear. It's time for a shopping trip to Mercola.com.
There are a lot more examples. Don't believe me? Spend some time on PubMed. True, neem oil can be refined to remove toxic components, but given Mercola's aversion to refining natural compounds, that isn't likely a recipe he'd find palatable.
But I'm not here to do Mercola's research for him. My goal is to simply point out that the fear mongering de facto king of snake oil salesmen rants, ad nauseam, about pesticide use and then, without blinking an eye, uses a known insecticide in one of his facial care products. For the record, Mercola isn't the only pesticide-hater hawking neem oil. His compatriot, the Food Babe, does so as well–in a children's product!
This isn't the first time we've caught Dr. Joe vending products that contain chemicals (or classes of chemicals) he says are dangerous. Who can forget the dozen or more highly toxic chemicals in his Himalayan Pink Salt (lead or mercury for breakfast, anyone?), or the Joe-Banned sweetener in Mercola Brand protein bars?
When will the public catch on to the fact that these health care gurus are taking them on an costly, extravagant ride? At first glance, the answer might seem to be "never": Mercola has over one million followers, and most seem to be so indoctrinated that no amount of evidence is ever going to sway them.
I have a more optimistic outlook, however. There are billions of people who have never heard of Joseph Mercola. Think of them as unvaccinated, and Mercola as a virus. Now, what if skeptics such as you and I are a verbal vaccine? If we can reach out to the uninfected–those who have never been shopping at Mercola.com–and warn them about what they're going to find there, perhaps we can build up a measure of immunity and save them from this nonsense.
Oh, anyone need any facial cleanser?

If I see one more advert for the magical health benefits of 84-element Himalayan Pink Salt I'm going to vomit. No, really. I mean it. It's time somebody debunked this garbage. Every charlatan and snake oil salesman on the planet is pushing this salt, and it's time for a take-down.
Dr. Joseph Mercola, I'm looking at you.
If Mercola wants to change horses in midstream and say that the trace elements are not dangerous, then he's left in the unenviable position of explaining why he's touting their very presence as the reason his salt is supposed to be healthier than regular table salt.
Mercola's Himalayan salt contains mercury. His opinion?
Aluminum features prominently in Mercola's salt. How does he feel about the most common metal in the earth's crust?
A star player in Mercola's list of the 5 most toxic metals,5 his feelings on exposure to even low levels of lead are quite clear. So why is he selling it?
Mercola flagged radium as dangerous along with uranium in the previous paragraph. Yet radium is found in his pink salt. Remind us again about radium, please, doctor?
Perhaps the good doctor can explain why thallium is found in a food product he's selling.
If you think your favorite lip gloss or eye shadow is "safe" because it doesn't list lead or arsenic on the ingredients label, think again. A new report revealed that virtually every cosmetic product tested contained a potentially dangerous or proven toxic heavy metal.
Call the doctor: if thallium is dangerous in cosmetics, how is it safe in his salt?
Antimony, an element found in Dr. Joe's Himalayan Pink salt, scares him so badly he's actually afraid he'll absorb it from sleeping on mattresses. I'm not making this up!
"Antimony is a metal that may be more toxic than mercury and formaldehyde.
I can't escape the mental image of a doctor sleeping in a bio-hazard suit to protect himself from antimony in his mattress, then salting his eggs with antimony at breakfast.
It would be wonderful to have an explanation from the doctor, but I'm not holding my breath.

Regular readers of this blog are familiar enough with my debunking methods that I think we can dispense with a verbose rundown on today's featured snake oil salesman, Dr. Joseph Mercola, and just leap to the big "reveal". Here's the scoop: Like others of his ilk, Mercola is selling products that contain the same ingredients he says are dangerous. I'm going to quickly tour his online store and expose his hypocrisy.
Oh dear. Tapioca syrup can be an "intentionally or deceptively labeled" source of fructose? Mercola goes on to flag fructose as a danger to our diets, warning that in many cases we'll want to keep our total fructose intake below 25 grams per day (no more than 15 grams from fruit sources).1 We're cautioned to keep an eye out for that sneaky fructose because, apparently, there's no telling where it'll be found. I'll keep that in mind as I go shopping.
Right then. Off we go to Mercola.com!
Zut Alors! Mercola just finished warning us about hidden tapioca syrup in our food,1 and here he is selling us food with… tapioca syrup!
Nutrition information on the protein bars only goes so far as to tell us there are 10 grams of sugar per bar. We don't get a breakdown of the fructose content, so it's hard to say how close we're coming to Mercola's arbitrary limit of 15-25 grams of fructose if we eat one or two of these things.
But that's not the point of the debunking. The issue is that Mercola warns about hidden sources of fructose, then proceeds to sell his followers a food that contains, by his own admission, a hidden source of fructose. A hidden source he mentioned by name!
Wouldn't it be amazing if Mercola's followers took his advice and actually read the labels of the products they're buying?

Home » Education » How can a PGDM program enhance your career?
The increasing competition in today's world has created a dire need for students to master their field of interest in order to emerge out successful in the professional world. One needs to get optimum market knowledge and a right corporate exposure in order to build a bright future. As management is one of the most emerging fields of the world today, pursuing a progressive management course is the need of the day for aspiring managers and entrepreneurs. PGDM programs are professional course dealing with the aspects of management and creating corporates in various fields.
Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) is a professional management program that aims at moulding minds into dynamic managers and creating the torch-bearers of tomorrow. Students usually get confused between PGDM and MBA as to which degree program is better for them. A PGDM program is equivalent to an MBA degree, buts is named as a Post Graduate Diploma because it is offered by autonomous institutions. Many AICTE approved MBA colleges in India therefore offer comprehensive management programs with a view to create global managers.
A PGDM program also infuses qualities of leadership and entrepreneurship into students. Leadership is the most important aspect of management. A manager leads his team or department, coordinates their activities and shows them the right way to perform their duties. He is the one responsible to take the organization forward on the path of progress. When functioning at the international level, a manager needs to be extremely confident and versatile to excel and be successful. PGDM programs help you gain the desired qualities during its course and ensure you shine in the global world.
Regarded as one of the best PGDM colleges in Pune, iFEEL (Institute for Future Education Entrepreneurship and Leadership), offers you one of the most comprehensive and market-standard PGDM programs of the world. It combines expert education with world-class faculty and amenities to ensure that students emerge out well-trained and prepared to accept the global challenges. It conducts international study tours to ensure students get exposed to the international business world and its practices which can help them in future. It also provides international internships to students willing to make a career abroad, as also placement assistance to ensure students get their dream jobs after the program.
PGDM programs are now offered by a number of MBA colleges in Pune, Mumbai and all over the country. After successfully completing the course, one can work in national as well as multinational companies all over the world.


On May 14, 2009, emerald ash borer (EAB) was discovered in a South St. Anthony Park neighborhood of St. Paul, MN. Agrilus planipennis or commonly called EAB is a serious invasive tree pest, and consequently, is regulated in an effort to slow the spread of the insect to other areas of the state yet to be impacted. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) Plant Protection Division tracks the spread of EAB throughout the state and provides outreach materials, training and management guidelines to affected businesses, communities and land managers.
Minnesota Department of Agriculture considers May 1 – September 30 to be the flight season for emerald ash borer (EAB). This means that EAB adult beetles are emerging from infested wood or trees and flying in search of new hosts during this time. EAB larvae complete their development by pupating into adult beetles in the spring and early summer. However, this process only occurs when temperatures are sufficiently warm and the whole process requires a certain amount of accumulated heat – i.e., development time. Accumulated heat can be measured and tracked by using degree days which are a measure of time spent above a threshold temperature.

EAB is an insect that attacks and kills ash trees. It is spread through short distance natural flight and infested firewood transported long distance. The adults are small, iridescent green beetles that live outside of trees during the summer months. The larvae are grub or worm-like and live underneath the bark of ash trees. Trees are killed by the tunneling of the larvae under the tree's bark. Check out this video on the life cycle of EAB.
This video was produced with the collaboration of the faculty and students of Art Institutes International and McNally Smith College of Music, with technical assistance provided by MDA, DNR, University of Minnesota Extension and with funding from USDA.
What can I do about EAB?
Don't import materials to Minnesota that could harbor EAB such as ash firewood.
Remember that it is illegal to move all hardwood firewood outside of EAB quarantine areas. See map of emerald ash borer status in Minnesota.
Become knowledgeable about recognizing EAB and remain vigilant to the condition of your ash trees.

What are the Common Myths about EAB?
Myth No. 1. We can't do anything about EAB anyway; we might as well let it spread.
Emerald ash borer is a devastating pest; our choices now for ash trees near an outbreak are either treat or remove. Slowing the actual spread of EAB may mean economic viability for cities that are affected. If nothing is done to slow the spread, EAB can kill all area ash trees in a very short time. Slowing the spread means a city can spend $1M a year on ash tree removal for eight years, instead of spending $8M in one year for all the dead trees. Spreading the costs over many years is easier on any city's budget, and that city's taxpayers. Another reason is to buy time to let the science catch up: detection methods are improving and more is being learned about EAB weaknesses. Additional research is needed, but it takes time. While it's unlikely there will be a silver bullet, if scientists can find enough weaknesses in EAB, we may be able to save ash tree species in the U.S.
Myth No. 2. EAB has no impact on human health, it just kills trees.
Emerald ash borer killed trees dry out quickly and become hazard trees in less time than after a normal tree death. Hazard trees are trees that can be dangerous because of the possibility of them falling over or large branches breaking off, with a potential to cause personal injury to people. In addition, a recent study by the U.S. Forest Service found that the decrease in tree numbers due to EAB in the Detroit, Michigan area (where EAB started) caused an increase in human mortality related to cardiovascular and respiratory systems.

The telecom company lines up chipmaker Qualcomm, automotive software company RedBend, and video provider QuickPlay Media to help the automakers enter the wireless world.
BARCELONA, Spain -- AT&T's crew for its Drive Studio connected car facility is getting a little bigger.
The telecom company said Monday that it had signed up three new partners to help automakers ease their way into the world of wireless services.
First up is Qualcomm, which will debut its recently unveiled Snapdragon Automotive Solutions, which powers infotainment and telematics found at the Drive Studio. Qualcomm is making a big push into cars itself, following in the footsteps of Nvidia, which has long provided its Tegra processors to the automotive industry.
AT&T will also work with automotive software management provider Red Bend Software. The company will use AT&T's cloud service to help manage in-vehicle software and applications through over-the-air downloads. AT&T boasts that Red Bend's software reduces the time and cost to manage software updates in the vehicle as a result of the wireless delivery method.
Lastly, QuickPlay Media will help automakers develop in-vehicle video service using its own OpenVideo platform. The programing in includes "Live Linear TV" and streaming video on demand services.
Drive Studio is a 5,000-square-foot facility in Atlanta, and is the focal point of the company's initiative to connect cars with its cellular service. AT&T spilled the details on the studio at the Consumer Electronics Show, which had more than its fair share of automotive tech news.
With the core smartphone business seeing slowing growth, AT&T is increasingly looking to different areas for new opportunities, with connected cars being a major priority. The company already has partners such as General Motors eager to line up to use the facility.

"How the Wogglebug and his Friends Visited Santa Claus"
By L. Frank Baum
Author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, The Woggle-Bug Book, The Boy Fortune Hunters in the South Seas, etc.
From the Queer Visitors from the Marvelous Land of Oz Comic Page series
Originally published December 18, 1904.
"It's nearly Christmas time," said the Scarecrow, yesterday, "and I really think we ought to do something for the children of America who have welcomed us so kindly."
"What can we do?" asked the Tin Woodman.
"Why, it seems that on every Christmas Santa Claus brings the children toys for presents. So it strikes me that we also ought to furnish toys for the little ones, to prove our love for them," returned the Scarecrow.
"But where can we get the toys?" the Wogglebug inquired. "We have no money with which to purchase such things."
"True," acknowledged the Straw Man; "but in Oz we do without money, because when we want a thing we create it by means of the magical arts we are learned in. Let us therefore provide, by means of our magic, the toys we require for the children."
This suggestion being agreed to, they all retired to private rooms, that they might create the toys undisturbed and before long the Tin Woodman came back with an armful of tiny tin men that were exact duplicates of himself. They were all jointed in their legs and arms, and their heads could be made to turn to right or left.
Soon after, the Scarecrow entered the room carrying a lot of rag dolls that were small images of himself. These baby scarecrows were very quaint and amusing, and there was no doubt the children would like them. Then Jack Pumpkinhead brought in a number of small pumpkin heads, made out of paper, but with features exactly resembling Jack himself.
"They're hollow inside," said Jack; "but the children can fill them with candy."
When the Wogglebug entered the room he brought quantities of wee wogglebugs, dressed just like himself, and having their four arms and their legs made of wire and covered with fuzzy worsted. These toys were so comical that all the party laughed when they saw them.
"But our friend the Sawhorse must not be neglected," said the Scarecrow; so he went away and did a little more magic, and soon returned with a drove of small wooden sawhorses, which had wheels under each of their legs, so that the children could draw them over the floor by means of strings.
"Let us carry them to Santa Claus," suggested the Tin Woodman. "He can take them in his sleigh and distribute them with his other Christmas gifts."
This plan being approved, the entire party mounted aboard the Gump, which flew with them far away to the Laughing Valley where Santa Claus lives. They found the dear old man sitting in an easy chair before his fire, and smoking a short pipe. He had finished his yearly labors, and his sleigh was already loaded with packages of toys for the children's Christmas, while the ten reindeer stamped impatiently to be off and away upon their journey.
"You are just in time!" exclaimed Santa Claus, "and I will gladly carry your toys to the little ones."
"We would like every child to have one of them," said the Scarecrow.
"But - good gracious, my friends!" cried bluff old Santa, "you haven't enough for a quarter of the children I shall visit."
This news made the people from Oz very sad and downcast; but, noticing this, the good old man added: "Never mind; I'll make them go as far as I can, and these toys are so pretty that next year I will make a lot of them myself, so that every child may get one for Christmas. But now I must be off, or I shall never get my journey finished by Christmas morning."
So Santa Claus placed the toys in his sleigh and himself mounted the seat. The people of Oz also got into the Gump again, and then Santa said, with a sly wink:
"Let's have a race."
"To be sure," agreed the Scarecrow; "but nothing can go so swiftly as the flight of the Gump."
Santa Claus made no answer in words, but he cracked his long whip, and away shot the reindeer - swift as the wind.
The Gump flew as it had never flown before, but every effort to keep pace with the sleigh of jolly Santa was in vain, and presently the people of Oz looked down through the moonlight and saw a tiny speck far ahead of them, which was their last view of the sleigh-load of toys destined for the children's Christmas.
"We are beaten," remarked the Scarecrow. "But I imagine Santa Claus is a greater magician than any that has ever lived in our Land of Oz."
And the Wogglebug quoted, impressively, these lines:
" 'Around the man who seeks a noble end,
Not angels, but divinities attend.'
"That," said he, "was written by a famous American poet."
"What was his name?" asked the Scarecrow, curiously.
And the Wogglebug told him.
[Ralph Waldo Emerson]
THE FORGETFUL POET
By Ruth Plumly Thompson
Originally published in the Philadelphia Public Ledger, September 16, 1917.
We moved the other day
From where I've always lived before,
And all I want to say is this--
That moving's worse than war!
The rugs are banked and boxes stand
All ready for one's shins,
And all the things I need
Are underneath the kitchen tins.
The furniture, like raw recruits,
Stands 'round all points and edges.
The curtains are too narrow
And lean sadly on the ledges.
The books, like shipwrecked sailors,
Tied together float about--
I hardly know which way to turn,
So guess I'll just go out!
(How helpful!)

A Q&A with Expert Dr. Jim Zimbelman
By Dr. Jim Zimbelman | April 6, 2014
Q: Of all the terrestrial and extra-terrestrial imaging and mapping that you've done, how does Iceland's landscape compare in beauty, drama, violence?
A: Iceland is unique in my experience, either for sites of other fieldwork here on Earth or areas that I have examined using spacecraft data. No other place on Earth provides such good access to a mid-ocean ridge; tens of thousands of miles of the global ridge system are beneath the surface of the ocean, but an active oceanic ridge is only above water in Iceland. The geology of Iceland is therefore very helpful for those of us trying to understand volcanic terrains on other planets. With regard to the dramatic, no volcanic location that I have visited has the combination of lava flows, glaciers, rivers with large waterfalls, and polar desert vegetation that can be found everywhere in Iceland. Fortunately, Iceland is not violent; even major eruptions can be safely viewed from fairly close distances, much like eruptions in Hawaii.
Q: The huge volume of water that surges over the Dettifoss and Iceland's other waterfalls and powers down the glacial rivers – where does it come from? Is it "young" water from recent precipitation? Is it ancient water from glacial melt? What "pumps" it to the surface with such force? Is it the volcanoes under the glaciers and lakes?
A: The water in the rivers of Iceland is both young and old. Every winter the country is blanketed in new snow that in the spring then feeds large runoffs. However, the glaciers are also melting, releasing water that fell as snow tens of thousands of years ago. Both water sources mix together to make the dramatic rivers of Iceland. The 'force' comes from the sheer volume of snow and ice available to feed the rivers; the volcanic bedrock does not need to add additional force (although, when an eruption occurs directly beneath a glacier, it results in an enormous flood beneath the glacier and has an Icelandic name – jokullaupe).
Q: When and how did scientists realize that Iceland straddles two tectonic plates?
A: For centuries scientists realized Iceland had a very strong volcanic component to its history. The realization of how Earth's crust moves in different plates is a fairly recent development. Individual scientists speculated about it early in the twentieth century, but the globe-encircling concept of plate tectonics was only accepted by the worldwide geologic community beginning in the 1960s. Iceland played an important role in this realization, since it allowed scientists to visit (and measure) the separation of two active plates.
Q: Given the turbulent geologic history of Iceland, how much has the island changed (size, shape, elevation, climate, etc.) since the earliest Norse/Celtic settlements (est. 7th century?)?
A: Iceland has not changed all that much since the time of the Vikings. The glaciers are smaller than they were a thousand years ago, but not all that much else has changed since the conditions as described in the Viking sagas.
Q: Iceland's fjords seem to be limited to the north and west coasts. Why?
A: The fjords are the result of erosion by past glaciers, and the north and west coasts had the steepest topography down which these ancient glaciers could move. Precipitation is usually heaviest on the NW side of the island since storm systems in the northern hemisphere tend to move from west to east.

found this, a $5000.00 pro-grade digital camera, at my local GOODWILL for a whopping $10.00.
it is fully compatible with my existing NIKON D5000's lenses.
four AA alkaline and 2 CR123A lithium later, it works, damn well indeed for a 2002 DigiCam.
here are comparison shots, my 2009 D5000 vs this 2002 S2 Pro.
Very cool find, I did a very very quick search and its either a 12 megapixel that will downsize to 6 or something else and I just don't have the time to read every detail.
Pretty amazing as my old digital camera from that same time is only a 3.2, but it was only 120 new.
But the again yours is a pro.
i figured out how to adjust the flash brightness way down.
even so, i have to pull WAY back from my subject when employing the flash, something i DO NOT have to do with the D5000.
any way, this S2 is mighty impressive for a DSLR the better part of two decades old.
Dang, nice of them to just use the Nikon mount.
I have a D3200. I've had it since 2012 and I can't really see upgrading it ever. I'd probably buy a $10 backup if I found one though.
Nice pics, I'm sure you would get better outside from the S2 rather than your other camera.
Yeah, everything looks the same when you point it the same way at the same thing.
the D5000 close-up of the doll's face just plain looks cleaner and sharper to me, practically like the naked eye, if not better.
i'm just being a plebeian amateur and all, but after days of dinking around, this is the best i can wrest out of the S2 PRO.
and, of course, that damn-blasted Vacuum-Tubey flash warmth.
Wow, that is a pretty phenomenal deal on an S2. A very good camera for its day. Pretty sure you could sell it for 10-20x what you paid. That being said, I would totally keep it if I found that deal, but I have so much gear as it is.
All too often, I think people forget how good many of the older top level DSLRs were. Yes, older DSLRs have limitations (high ISO noise etc.), but are very capable of taking a phenomenal picture if you know how to use them. Several of my pro photographer friends used S2's back in the day and took some amazing shots that were published in magazines. The newer cameras now have more MPs, faster work flow, better ranges for ISO, and special things the older cameras don't have, so most have moved on. However, for someone getting into photography, I highly recommend buying a top level camera from a few years ago and really learning how to use it.
6MP is more than most people will ever need for web posting and family photos. The only thing you really use is the ability to crop down images, and make large prints. Speaking from experience, 6MP will get you an 8x10 inch print easily, and can be upscaled to a very good print of 13x19 inches if the original image was sharp. I am guessing most people don't routinely print images > 5x7 inches.
Most people don't print images anymore at all. They use tiny cheap screens with way higher resolution than most prints.
a solid, meaty camera that just feels wonderful to wield, in a base, boneheadedly "manly" sort of way.
that said, it is MUCH HARDER to get photos off the hip with this old tank, than with my newer, lower-end NIKON D5000.
in this "Blair Witch Project Close-Up" sort of way. it's exasperating.
I like the S2 but also the other cameras seem to be good as well.

Figure 6 illustrates the total number of housing units that are occupied by owners. it has a Owner Percent of 78.3% which is the largest of all zip codes in the greater ZIP code 40385 region.
Looking at the housing data provided in Figure 7, the average ZIP code 40385 home price is illustrated for this community and a useful analysis of affordable housing. 40385 depicts it has a Median Home Value of $86,600 which is in the center range of other zip codes in the surrounding region. The zip code with the highest median home price in the area is 40475 which depicts a home price of $170,200 (about twice as large). Figure 8 provides aggregate comparative data for the ZIP code 40385 Kentucky metro area in terms of the median housing rental rate, apartment rent, etc. ZIP code 40385 depicts it has a Median Gross Rent of $848 which is the largest of all zip codes in the greater ZIP code 40385 region. Comparing rental rates to the United States average of $1,062, ZIP code 40385 is approximately three-fourths the size. Also, compared to the state of Kentucky, rental rates of $763, ZIP code 40385 is 11.1% larger.
Median owner costs for the real estate market are shown in Figure 10 and include the costs associated with any mortgage, utility expenses, insurance, and other miscellaneous costs. ZIP code 40385 shows it has a Median Owner Cost of $430 which is the second smallest when ranked by median ownership cost of all the other zip codes in the local area. Figure 11 shows the median amount of cost as a percent of total household income for people who own homes in the ZIP code 40385 metro area. it has a Owner Cost as % of HH Income of 14% which is the second smallest as measured by cost as a percent of household income of all the other zip codes in the area. The next chart, Figure 12, provides a comparison chart of the median home cost as a percent of a median worker take home earnings and is thus a valuable measure of affordable housing. ZIP code 40385 shows it has a Median Home Value as Percent of Median Earnings of 246% which is in the mid range of other zip codes in the metro area.
Figure 14 depicts the median cost of housing for owners with also have a mortgages (versus those who do not have a mortgage because mortgage cost is included.) ZIP code 40385 depicts it has a Median Owner Costs-With Mortgage of $893 which is less than most other zip codes in the greater region. Figure 15 is a chart that shows the median housing costs for owners who do not have mortgages (and therefore the cost of home ownership does not include mortgage cost.) it has a Median Owner Costs-Without Mortgage of $321 which is less than most other zip codes in the metro area.
Figure 16 shows the distribution in total housing cost for owners of property (so not renters.) This cost includes mortgages, lines of credit interest, utilities, taxes, insurance, etc. ZIP code 40385 has one of the largest proportions of owner cost less than $300 at 29% of the total and is ranked #3. Only #2 40472 (34%), and #1 40336 (37%) are larger. Second, it has the second smallest when sorted by owner cost less than $300 of all the other zip codes in the metro area as measured by owner cost between $500 and $700 at 12% of the total. Third, it has the second smallest as measured by owner cost less than $300 of all the other zip codes in the local area when ranked by owner cost between $700 and $1,000 at 9% of the total. Also, it has the smallest proportion of owner cost between $1,000 and $1,500 at 2% of the total.
Next shown in Figure 17 is the housing cost as a percent of household income for people who own their homes and have a mortgages (thus the cost of financing the home is included.) ZIP code 40385 shows it has a % of Income Owner Costs-With Mortgage of 20% which is the second most of all the zip codes in the local area. The zip code with the highest cost as a percent of household income in the area is 40336 which depicts a cost as a percent of household income of 21% (only about 5.1% larger). Housing cost as a percent of household income for owners who do not have a mortgage is shown in Figure 18. This analysis can be useful for understanding the affordable housing for home ownership excluding any financing cost in the area shown. ZIP code 40385 depicts it has a % of Income Owner Costs-No Mortgage of 9% which is the smallest as measured by cost as a percent of household income of all the other zip codes in the local area. The zip code with the highest cost as a percent of household income in the area is 40312 which shows a cost as a percent of household income of 13% (42.2% larger).
Figure 19 looks at the cost of rent for rental property using the percent of total household income which is a valuable measure of financial health for the area. (The higher the proportion of rent payments to total household income is a sign of greater financial stress. Also, rent can be covered by rent assistance and rent assistance programs in the form of rent assistance.) ZIP code 40385 has the smallest proportion of rent as a percent of income is between 10pct to 20pct at 6% of the total. Second, it has the largest proportion of rent as a percent of income is between 40pct to 50pct at 29% of the total and is ranked #1.
Figure 20 shows the total housing cost for both home owners and apartment community renters in the area. ZIP code 40385 has the smallest proportion of housing cost between $300 and $500 at 11% of the total.
Figure 21 shows median amount of real estate taxes paid for home owners in the region. it has a Median Real Estate Taxes Paid of $510 which is the smallest in terms of median real estate taxes paid of all the other zip codes in the greater region. The zip code with the highest median real estate taxes paid in the area is 40475 which depicts a taxes paid of $1,412 (approximately 2.8 times bigger). Comparing median real estate taxes paid to the United States average of $2,471, ZIP code 40385 is approximately a fifth the size. Also, measured against the state of Kentucky, median real estate taxes paid of $1,210, ZIP code 40385 is approximately half the size.
Figure 22 shows the percentage of renters who pay for utilities in ZIP code 40385 Kentucky. This is calculated as the percent of renters who pay separately for utilities versus the people who have utilities included as part of amenities. ZIP code 40385 has the percentage of pay extra for utilities less than most other zip codes in the metropolitan area at 8% of the total.
Figure 23 shows the rental rate distribution for this area. ZIP code 40385 Kentucky has the smallest proportion of rent between 300 and 500 dollars at 8% of the total. Second, it has the largest proportion of rent between 500 and 750 dollars at 48% of the total and is ranked #1.
