Gone are the days of the intrepid globetrotting photographer armed with a manual FM10 around the neck and a hipsack full of film. At the most, her power requirements amounted to a pack of AA lithiums. Today’s professional travel and outdoor photographer is more likely to be found with a couple power-hungry digital SLRs bristling with fast-recycling smart flashes. She might even be toting a portable hard drive, a laptop and location light kit. Still, she finds herself in the same remote areas for extended periods of time as before. That means she needs portable power, and a sack of AAs aren’t going to cut it anymore. This document will explore the current technology of portable power for the modern outdoor and travel photographer.

What is the Weight Watchers benefit?
The Public Employees Benefit Board (PEBB) has negotiated with the 2010 medical plan carriers to continue to provide a weight management program at no cost to covered employees. The carriers contracted with Weight Watchers to provide this benefit.

Who is eligible?
No-cost participation applies only to PEBB-covered employees enrolled in a PEBB-sponsored medical plan from Providence Health or Kaiser.

• Dependents are not eligible for the no-cost participation.
• If you opt out of medical coverage, you are not eligible for the no-cost participation, even if you are enrolled in a PEBB-sponsored medical plan through your spouse or domestic partner.

How do I enroll?
FIRST STEP: Select the Weight Watchers program option that is most convenient to your weight-loss efforts and lifestyle. The choice is yours!

Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch can connect to Marist’s wireless network. In order to do this, they must be running software/firmware version 2.0 or higher—this includes the Cisco IPsec VPN client. The VPN client ensures that only authenticated users are using the wireless and protects your data and privacy by encrypting the transmission. This guide will walk you through the steps necessary to connect your iPhone or iPod touch to the wireless network so you can browse the web, check email, view YouTube videos, et cetera.

All current models of the iPhone & iPod touch come with version 2.0+ software/firmware preinstalled. Older models of these devices may not. Version 2.0 was released in the summer of 2008. This is a free update for the iPhone and costs approximately $10 for the iPod touch. The first step before connecting is to make sure you’re running at least version 2.0.

Introduction

What you choose to eat affects your chances of developing high blood pressure, or hypertension (the medical term). Recent studies show that blood pressure can be lowered by following the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan—and by eating less salt, also called sodium.

While each step alone lowers blood pressure, the combination of the eating plan and a reduced sodium intake gives the biggest benefit and may help prevent the development of high blood pressure. This booklet, based on the DASH research findings, tells how to follow the DASH eating plan and reduce the amount of sodium you consume. It offers tips on how to start and stay on the eating plan, as well as a week of menus and some recipes. The menus and recipes are given for two levels of daily sodium consumption—2,300 and 1,500 milligrams per day. Twenty-three hundred milligrams is the highest level considered acceptable by the National High Blood Pressure Education Program. It is also the highest amount recommended for healthy Americans by the 2005 “U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans.” The 1,500 milligram level can lower blood pressure further and more recently is the amount recommended by the Institute of Medicine as an adequate intake level and one that most people should try to achieve.

Section I : Installing the PhatBox Mounting the PhatBox

When choosing a mounting location remember:

• Leave at least 3 inches of clearance for the cable.

• Leave the front of the PhatBox unobstructed for easy insertion of and removal of the cartridge.
• The unit should be mounted to a hard stable

Connecting the PhatBox to a Car Stereo Head Unit

1. Turn off the car.
2. Gain access to the rear portion of your car stereo.
3. Unplug the original car stereo cable from the back of your stereo.
4. Plug the male end of the PhatNoise cable into the same location the original car stereo was connected.
