B&P Lure Wraps
The B&P Lure Wraps are constructed from thick, soft marine grade canvas. The B&P Lure Wraps fold in half and have a positive Velcro closure that won't accidentally come unfastened. Use the B&P Lure Wraps to keep your hooks from snagging the carpet in your boat, the seats in your vehicle, and tangling with other lures, rods, or lines. The small size works with any lure up to a Super Spook, the large works for the size of a Super Spook to oversized swimbaits. Manufactured in California by a local tournament fishermen, the B&P Lure Wraps are just what you need when transporting your rods. Perfect for a non-boater bringing his rods on board during a tournament, you wouldn't want to be untangling if the fish are biting!

Customer Reviews
Comments: The B&P Lure Wraps would be fine if they had velcro on the top and bottom so they would not slide off the lures. Suggest Tackle Warehouse get in contact with manufacture and have them sew velcro on the top and bottom of the B&P Lure Wrap.
From: Ron: KY 3/5/14
Comments: I have to agree with Tim, CA. They are junk. I have since torn 3 of them. I would never buy them again. I don't even think they are made of canvas

Comments: GREAT WRAPS!!! GREAT PRICE!!! I live on Canyon Lake and fish daily. They have saved me time on the water. They are simple the best way to keep your lures ready to fish.
From: Ben: Canyon Lake, CA
Comments: Bob and Pat have a real winner here. I have 4-5 from 5 years ago and they still perform. Only thing is, Bob is way too busy to fish with me.
From: Terry: Oxnard, CA
Comments: I enjoy using this item, but be careful opening the covers. I tore one of these covers by simply pulling open the velcro. I've never had one of the other lure wrap products tear in that fashion.
From: John: Lexington, KY
Comments: Outstanding item. I fish at least once a week, and never had any problems with these lure wraps. Thicker than others, and have held up well. I like that they float as well.
From: Mike: Santa Paula, CA
Comments:I have used B&P Lure Wraps for years, I use them not only on my boat but at home also. I have two young boys that fish with me and I fill very safe with them in the boat. Great item!

Super cute
"Found these on the sale rack and had to buy them even though they're too small: I normally wear a 6.5-7 and these are a 6, so they're tight but bearable... just too neutral and cute to pass up! In the correct size they may not run short or narrow but the woven material is quite hard and rough so if they're even a bit tight they rub."

Nice shoe
"My daughter usually wears Flip Flops and hates to wear shoes. She wears these ALL THE TIME! I would recommend that you spray protector on these as they are fabric(reason for 4 star rating). It will keep them cleaner a bit longer."

The Child Development Center and Laboratory School (CDLS) fulfills two primary purposes.
The CDLS provides students, faculty and staff and the community high quality child-care program that foster children's development in a warm and nurturing environment.
The CDLS also serves as a learning center for Early Childhood Education students with a forum for observing and practicing the methods and theories taught in our academic program.
Our staff includes the director, lead teacher, 3 teachers and 3 assistant teachers and an administrative assistant.
The CDLS at
We support and nurture the growth of each individual child in all areas of development: social, emotional, physical, cognitive and creative. These areas are very important to the development of the whole child.
We want each child's experience to be a positive one, filled with activities that are both challenging and rewarding. We will provide and maintain a classroom setting that is emotionally secure, supportive and planned for independence. Our program is aimed at teaching the child how to think rather than what to think, and is more concerned with forming the mind rather than with filling the mind.
Due to the tireless efforts of the college administration and the first Early Childhood Coordinator, Professor Darlene Ragozzine, the Child Development Laboratory School (CDLS) at NCC was first opened in the fall of 1988 on Wilson Avenue, former home of Norwalk Community College. In addition to the initial set-up funds appropriated by the 1987 Connecticut State Legislature, outside funding was provided by the Student Advisory Board and the Friends of Norwalk Community College. The funding and opening of the Center was truly a collaborative effort uniting the college administration, students, faculty, staff and the business community.
The present CDLS opened in the fall of 1991, doubling the size of its operating site and incorporating an observation room for parents, NCC staff and students to view and record children's progress. In 1994, Kathy Croaning became the coordinator of the ECE Program and continued to strengthen the program and its mission until her death in 1999. The center was named in her honor in the spring of 2000.
The CDLS offers quality early care and education for children ages six months to five years of age. The professional staff involves the director and experienced teachers who establish a classroom environment and curriculum to foster each individual child"s emotional, physical, intellectual and social development. The physical arrangement, daily schedule and routines are designed to suit individual and group needs. The CDLS also offers an opportunity for Early Childhood Education students to observe and practice theories and methods taught through the academic program at Norwalk Community College. The CDLS staff and the ECE Program staff are unified in the presentation and implementation of developmentally appropriate practices for young children.

|Posted by M. Fontanarosa on October 01, 1999 at 13:15:53:
My daughter recently rented an apartment. The floor is tiled. It is rectangular in shape and has a sink in the center of the room and a toilet to the left and all the way to the right in the corner is the shower which has a shower head on the ceiling of the bathroom and a drain on the floor directly below the showerhead. Instead of having shower doors, this bathroom has only a long shower curtain to keep the water inside. Needless to say, the water will not stay entirely inside of this area. Since the rent is quite cheap in this apartment this is the reason why the shower is the way it is. My husband and I would like to make it where there is some type of containment for the water. We were think a swing out shower door. What are your suggestions. Should the sides be built up with some sort of tiles or something too. Please e-mail me back. Thank you.

Still debating on whether to have him wear the chain shirt or not. His defense is decent without it and the armor check penalty limits his skills a bit too much for my liking.
Honestly, the equipment doesn't matter much to me, I'd even just as soon let our fearless leader divide it up. Has he posted in here yet?

The Buckhorn Panel on the San Rafael Swell has been vandalized again. A huge 6-ft. drawing has been made over the panel with a chalky substance. The panel will be cleaned with a special cleaning solvent being shipped in by experts in rock art.
A $1,000 reward is being offered for the arrest and conviction for those responsible for this latest round of vandalism. The plaques were removed by vandals earlier this spring and that case is also unsolved at this time. If you have any leads in either case, please notify the Emery County Sheriff's Office at 381-2404. You may remain anonymous.

Chapter 6
Israel is in bondage to the Midianites—An angel appears to Gideon and calls him to deliver Israel—He overthrows the altar of Baal, the Spirit of the Lord rests upon him, and the Lord gives him a sign to show he is called to deliver Israel.
1 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord: and the Lord delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.
2 And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds.
3 And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the
4 And they encamped against them, and destroyed the
5 For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude; for both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it.
6 And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the Lord.
7 ¶And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord because of the Midianites,
8 That the Lord sent a prophet unto the children of Israel, which said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;
9 And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drave them out from before you, and gave you their land;
10 And I said unto you, I am the Lord your God;
11 ¶And there came an angel of the Lord, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that
12 And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto him, The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.
13 And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the Lord be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his
14 And the Lord looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy
15 And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the
16 And the Lord said unto him, Surely I will be
17 And he said unto him, If now I have found
18 Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and set it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again.
19 ¶And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it.
20 And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.
21 ¶Then the angel of the Lord put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up
22 And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the Lord, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord God! for because I have seen an
23 And the Lord said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.
24 Then Gideon built an altar there unto the Lord, and called it
25 ¶And it came to pass the same night, that the Lord said unto him, Take thy father's young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of
26 And build an altar unto the Lord thy God upon the top of this
27 Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the Lord had said unto him: and so it was, because he feared his father's household, and the men of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night.
28 ¶And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that was by it, and the second bullock was offered upon the altar that was built.
29 And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing.
30 Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die: because he hath cast down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove that was by it.
31 And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death
32 Therefore on that day he called him
33 ¶Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east were gathered together, and went over, and pitched in the valley of Jezreel.
34 But the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abi-ezer was gathered after him.
35 And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; who also was gathered after him: and he sent messengers unto Asher, and unto Zebulun, and unto Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.
36 ¶And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said,
37 Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said.
38 And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.
39 And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine
40 And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.

That looks like obummer on the white horse - really
Can't handle the opening of the show.
Five minutes of music 'lead in'
Thirty phone numbers (East of the Rockies, West of the Rockies, Overseas, On the moon, On UrAnus .. on and on and on)
email addys
texting addys
Skype numbers
Thirty seconds of Nory telling you that "He'll be right back".
The Rapture will probably come BEFORE the actual show begins!
Thanks but No Thanks!
I have it on — should be fun! Thanks!
Strange how the mind works. I saw "Norry" and immediately thought of Yorke Norroy. And that made me think of the American spy who created him: George Bronson Howard (18841922).
ahahaha - actually - me too - but with all the self-righteous gone, it will be quite a changed world we'll be left in - and no one to judge me if I don't get my spring cleaning done.
Order whatever you want right now.
You won't have to pay for any of it.
My son's gonna' sit in the graveyard for the next 24 hours to watch all of the floaters.
You missed the 1st 2 hours already , 2 hours to go.
You mean he doesn't expect to float too?
I think they've been vacating Australia for some time, now.
Well, we figure we'll have to take the stairs. ;-)
Open lines oughta be a hoot!
Can we get it online? I didn't see a link on the sight, but I just may have overlooked it.
Why, thank you! :-)
Yea here's a list of streams......
Cant they find something better to talk about?
You mean other than end of the world talk?
Hey, THANKS! :-) That's kind of you!
Can't believe some of these callers.
What is Conan doing riding around with those drug addicts?
LOL! Perfect summary! The show is for insomniacs on the road, and not much else.
Awww...man, I missed it. Is is archived anywhere? Hurry—time's a wastin'! LOL
For not liking the show, you sure know a lot about it...
Just saying. :)
I want to go out a winner.
I caught bits and pieces of the show - he comes on here from 1am to 5am -
Sorry but I'm kinda bummed out at the moment - I think I might have been left behind
It is just 8 AM here, I haven't gone out yet but my yellow lab is laying down right next to me, so if I got left behind at least I have my pup for company.
Isn't 6pm local time (today) check-out?
Might want to put some dog food in the bowl. :D
According to the C2C website, Ian Punnett is host for tonight's "TEOTWAWKI" show. Considering he's an ordained Minister, might just be interesting.
(sorry for the shameless plug, I'm sort of a fan)
That's what you think. You might just hear a popping sound and look down and see his collar and dog tags lying on the ground at 6PM.
Nope .. Never said that I didn't like the show.
Just said that I couldn't stand the Infinitely long, tedious and simply 'boring' intro.
The show itself might be fantastic but .. who the hell knows .. You fall into a coma Long before it starts!
Thanks so much for the ping, Stevo! :)
I go to bed so early now I have to catch the show on repeat.. It's been an interesting week on C2Cam! :)
That's me on the right. They can never quite catch my good side.
yes, ooopsy doopsy!

Stink in Motown
Robin Brownlee
February 07 2009 09:11PM
I almost crapped myself outside Joe Louis Arena one time, but never inside it like the Edmonton Oilers did during the first 18 minutes of an 8-3 loss to the Detroit Red Wings today.
My near-movement came several years back courtesy of a street person looking for money. With hand extended, the hulking bum sprang from behind a pillar under an overpass near The Joe as Boris Mironov and I were waiting for a taxi. He wanted Mironov's purple snakeskin shoes.
The Oilers, meanwhile, soiled themselves good and plenty in the Murder City, spotting the Red Wings a 5-0 lead by the 18:02 mark of the opening period, making it an easy day for the newspaper guys and a tough afternoon for their broadcast buddies with Sportsnet.
Which brings me, albeit awkwardly, to some thoughts about the distinctly different roles of the many people who travel with the Oilers under the vague umbrella of "media."
In the decade I travelled with the team, days like today always meant an easy write and a relaxed the trip to the airport, even if the team was mad as hell and everybody had a look on their face like somebody had farted in the bus.
I never cared who won the game -- really. Given that travelling writers usually had just 30 minutes from the time the dressing room doors opened after a game to get our interviews, go through our notes, write our stories, pack up and get to the bus, my only wish was that one of the teams take control of the game -- the earlier, the better. Selfish? Sure.
Today's can of corn was what we used to call a laugher. When it's 3-0 less than six minutes in and 5-0 before the first intermission, you've got that baby written by the start of the second period. Leave three or four gaps for quotes, be ready to tweak a little if the game swings wildly or somebody breaks a leg and kick back. Start on that "Kevin Lowe -- Dynasty Builder" feature. In a way, it's almost too bad it was wasted on an afternoon game.
You didn't often get a 5-0 bulge to work with like hall-of-famer Jim Matheson did today. And it's welcome, believe me.
More games than not, you have to wait until the final 10 minutes for the game to swing one way or another, or you're going to overtime or a shootout. Other times, you're deleting the 500 words you wrote when it was 3-0 because it's now 3-3 with 48 seconds to go.
That's hair-on-fire stuff, and I don't have any to spare after climbing aboard the bus still smoking so many times over the years, much to the amusement of Rod Phillips. And the bus doesn't wait, like the time Kevin Lowe, sour after a loss, left me at the United Center in Chicago.
I can't speak for Matheson or anybody else, but if the game was 2-0 for the Oilers after a period, I wanted it 3-0 or 4-0 for them as soon as possible so I could get started. If it was 2-0 for the Red Wings, well, same thing.
The "somebody decide this thing before the final 35 seconds" prayer was most needed for west coast games, where the first version of your game story is due at the buzzer. Yes, at the buzzer. What better way to come off as an illiterate buffoon?
It's a different story for the broadcast rightsholders, and while I poke fun at them more than I should, I felt for play-by-play man Kevin Quinn and analyst Louie DeBrusk today.
A blowout is great for Quinn and DeBrusk if the right team is ahead, but if the Oilers are only blowing, like they did in the first period, it makes for a long afternoon. Today, given the Oilers have already been smoked 9-2 by Chicago and 10-2 by Buffalo this season, certainly qualifies.
It had to be tough to sound positive after Dwayne Roloson gave Dan Clearly a hack between the legs 42 seconds in, prompting the Red Wings to spend most of the rest of the day returning the favour by sacking the Oilers on the score board.
As members of the rightsholders broadcast, Quinn and DeBrusk are looking for positive spin. That's their job. They don't hold themselves out as objective observers. So, while the beat guys are merrily tapping away when it's 5-0, KQ and Louie have their work cut out.
Same with Sports Central host Evanka Osmak, who said during the first intermission: "Hopefully, the Oilers can get on the board and climb out of that 5-0 deficit." Or not.
With it 6-0 through 40 minutes, Quinn and DeBrusk didn't have the option of lamenting yet another brutal start by the Good Guys or pointing out to Oilers defencemen that moving your feet in pursuit of an opposing forward cutting to the net is a good thing.
They're left looking for the silver lining. That means talking about "winning" the third period. About building momentum going into Minnesota. About how good Jeff Deslauriers looked in relief of Dwayne Roloson -- which he did, compared, to ahem, his last bit of mop-up duty.
At least the Oilers gave them something to worth with when Zack Stortini, Dustin Penner and Marc Pouliot narrowed it to 6-3. Quinn's teeth were still vibrating from those goals when he said: "If you want to look at things as half full, you've got to look at this third period."
Half full of what? Which brings me back to Boris and I . . .

Add all this up and hope for an overtime time win or loss and give the badly needed points to a division rival - with MACT saying that they tried hard.

Zamboni Driver wrote: [Though I guess the obvious answer is the TV crew the oilers get has gotta be among the worst anywhere.] Not even close in terms of being, to use your term, "the worst." First, you have to accept and understand what their job is. It's easy to criticize team broadcasters and rightsholders as homers, but they aren't trying to sell themselves as a critical voice or objective observers. They are helping to deliver and sell a product — the Oilers. Rightsholders will always lean toward the positive. That's what's expected of them. To get all over them for not "telling it like it is" is no different than criticizing a newspaper beat guy for not being positive enough (although there's people out there who believe we're too positive as it is). Everybody has a different job to do.
Lets set the record straight here.
Rogers is not the rightholders it is the wholesaler and provider to the Oils who schill the time on their own. Have you ever wondered how the flames get screwed on RSW with so much OIL on this channel....
Rexall Sports buys the time and sells the ads on their own. The Oil employ Quinn and DeBrusk meaning that the company doctrine is translated directly to their paycheque - case in radioland point.... Stauffer wanted MacT fired last year - now he wants him to "TRY HARDER" direct quote - he even said the trainers have to "TRY HARDER".... OMG.
Everbody has a different job to do - to whom is their master is somewhat veiled in corporate blending of broadcasting and promoting - to which Allan Watt is under full control with Don Metz from Insight / Aquila.
You want positive - WIN - otherwise you are just making excuses for incompetency, corporate incest and declining balance sheet for the King with no clothes.

Great article Robin. I also listened to you and Gregor talk with Hitch on coaching 101 and I must say that I could listen to him explain coaching for hours. I found myself sitting in my running car in my parkade for a good 20 mins. Listening to the way Hitch explains things compared to Mac T dancing around questions and making intelligent yet smart ass remarks was a breath of fresh air.
note to APE - don't be a monkey, next time go to justagame.ca and listen to the podcast when it suits you better - unless of course you were drinking CROWN (DEEP OILS CHOICE) or BOMBAY (JIM ROMES CHOICE) or LIMOS (Gregors choice) in the parkade with a friend.

As for your details, fine, but the simple point is fans expecting rightsholders to lead the critical charge in the name of telling it like it is are barking up the wrong tree. Rightsholders, be it radio or TV, are extensions of the team and are expected to conduct themselves as such.
sorry i meant limon instead of limos (GREGOR) damm edit button
@ RobinB: Ya, if you think the Oil guys are biased, try listening to the Canucks on sportsnet, I get embarassed for them.
@ Milli: There are countless examples of homerism to the extreme.
One that sticks out in my mind happened many years ago in Buffalo in the game Georges Laraque beat the snot out of Rob Ray so bad I actually felt sorry for Ray. It was, you might recall, the first game between the teams after Ray had turned down Laraque in Edmonton, saying he "just wanted to play," before he went out and roughed up Weight and Guerin.
Anyway, I've always enjoyed the call of Buffalo's Rick Jeannerete, but if you listen to how he calls that fight (example on YouTube) compared to how Rod Phillips called it and what actually happened, it's stunning and laughable.
Jeanneret's giving it the "And they're going at it back and fourth" routine like it was actually a fight instead of a beat down. Right, Laraque and Ray were going at it like Lee Harvey Oswald on JFK "went at it."

I found that the Chicago TV crew were pretty awesome. I watched them online for our ppv game and they were knowledgeable and exciting to listen to.
Our Sportsnet crew is pretty bad. Im not sure about other markets but the only crew ive seen that is worse in Canada is Calgary.

Can someone, anyone with in the Oilers organization explain to us fans what the hell is going on and when are they going to do something or are we expected to pay and watch this sad excuse for a hockey team?
What is the owner supposed to do? Start telling them whoto play and who to trade. Ask Tampa Bay how that is working out.
CURSE CONTINUES . . . Just a tidbit about today's loss to Minnesota. As everybody knows, it's the Oilers ninth straight loss at the Xcel Energy Center. The last time the Oilers won there was Jan. 16, 2007, which just happens to be the last road game I ever covered on the beat. Coincidence? You tell me.

And I can't wait for the story.
Cheese and Crakers, the loss to Detroit is what it is. A single loss. One loss or 1 win does not a season make. Yet several losses lately have been by significant margins. The underlying issues this team has need to be sddressed in the off season. We need to get bigger down the middle and we need a first line left winger to compliment Hemsky. We solved our defensive issues by signing Souray, trading for Visnovsky and developing Gilbert and Grebeshkov. The goaltending issue will never go away. Its a waste of breath and ink talking about it. Going forward the Oilers management team will need a targeted plan to address the teams issues long term. The team is moving in the right direction, there will be bumps along the way. Do be great one must strive for greatness. Sadly, there only a few players on the Oilers roster who believe that day in and day out.

By GARY ARRINGTON
After surprising victories over the top two ranked teams in Utah 3-A boys basketball the previous week, the Spartans followed up last week with wins over Union at home and Tooele on the road.
As will probably be the case all season, last Wednesday's game with Union turned into a game of inside height versus Emery's outside shooting. Emery won 74-61.
Emery has hit 38 three-point shots through the first four games with 6 different players hitting three's.
Against Union, Emery took a first quarter lead of 22-15 behind the scoring of Chandler Pearson with 11 points and Bowie Jeffs with eight.
The Spartans maintained this lead throughout the game despite the inside scoring of Chris Truman, a 6'6" post player, who finished with 26 points for the Cougars.
Four Emery players finished the game in double figures led by Jeffs with 23 and Pearson with 18. Seth Powell and Brandon Hansen also contributed 10 points each.
On Friday, the Spartans hit the road for the first time this year and came away with a 64-54 victory at Tooele.
Emery led 7-3 when the Buffaloes went on a 17-0 run to lead 20-7. In the second quarter, the Spartans got back into the game by outscoring Tooele 20-10 to trail by three at half time.
With Emery's man defense throwing Tooele off, the Spartans held Tooele to just three points in the third quarter to lead 44-35.
The Spartans led by 15 points with two minutes left and won the game 64-54.
Again the Spartans were led by Jeffs with 25 points and Pearson with 18. Hansen chipped in 11 and Powell and Curt Jensen had five a piece.
This week the Spartans are on the road at Pleasant Grove Wednesday before coming home Friday and Saturday to host the Fifth Annual Coal Country Classic.
Park City, Tooele and Uintah will be in town.

Parallel Rules
Parallel rules help draftsmen, surveyors, cartographers, architects, and navigators draw accurate parallel lines. The instrument comes in two main forms: two rectangular straight edges connected by brass or silver hinges, or a single frame surrounding a roller. The first type was known in Europe by 1600, while Englishman A. George Eckhardt is credited with inventing the second in 1771. The parallel rule was superseded for most uses by the T-square in the 19th century, but navigators continue to use parallel rules in conjunction with gridded charts.
The mathematics collections contain about twenty parallel rules and combination instruments, dating from the late 18th century to the late 20th century and ranging in length from 6 to 24 inches. The objects are made from ebony and other woods, brass, German silver, and plastic. They were manufactured in the United States, England, Italy, and Taiwan. They were used for military surveying, in navigation, in business, in art and technical drawing, and for placing handles on caskets. Several of the objects in this group illustrate innovations added to the basic instrument.
The digitization of this group of artifacts was made possible through the generous support of Edward and Diane Straker.
"Parallel Rules - Overview" showing 2 items.
Patent Model for Parallel Rule and T-Square by Eugene Towne
- Description
- This instrument has a wooden handle attached by a large brass thumbscrew to a brass protractor that is divided to single degrees and numbered by tens in both directions from 10 to 170. The protractor is screwed to a rectangular brass piece that slides in a groove in a rectangular wooden guide-piece. The guide-piece has brass clamps and thumbscrews for affixing the instrument on a table. The protractor is also attached by a split nut to a metal screw shaft that runs the width of the instrument. A thumb rest and gear on the left clamp rotates the screw shaft.
- A T-square is a technical drawing instrument used by draftsmen primarily as a guide for drawing horizontal lines on a drafting table. In this instrument, the two blades of the T-square are not fixed in a perpendicular position but rather can be rotated to any angle on the protractor. The large thumbscrew can then be used as a handle to move the blades along the screw shaft, allowing the user to draw parallel lines.
- Eugene James Towne (1847–after 1900) of North Dana, Mass., received a patent for this device in 1877. He submitted this example with his application as a prototype for the instrument, and the U.S. Patent Office marked it on the bottom: 187330 (/) L.1201.1228. Towne, a cabinetmaker, and J. W. Goodman, who made pianos, billiard table legs, and other wooden items in North Dana, apparently intended to manufacture the device together. However, the instrument likely was not widely adopted.

- The lower blade of this 24" brass hinged parallel rule is marked: KELVIN – WHITE CO. BOSTON – NEW YORK. The instrument has one rectangular wooden handle and one rectangular black plastic handle. Both handles are attached by crude welding. They may have been added by the previous owner, since Kelvin & White catalog advertisements show round knobs in 1931 and no handles in 1940. The side and top edges of the rule are divided as a rectangular protractor, numbered by tens from 180 to 10 and from 360 to 180. Unlike MA*309661, MA*309662, and MA*309663, the bottom edge is not divided for a protractor or nautical compass points.
- Australian shipbuilder Wilfrid O. White (1878–1955) studied in Glasgow, Scotland, with William Thomson, Lord Kelvin (1824–1907), before settling in Boston in 1902. White served as an agent for the Glasgow instrument workshop in which Kelvin held an interest until 1919, when White established the American firm of Kelvin & Wilfrid O. White. The company was renamed Wilfrid O. White & Sons, Inc., in 1950. Throughout its existence the firm charged $28.00 for the 24" brass version of "Captain Field's improved parallel rule," model number 554. The markings in this example are like those shown in the 1940 catalog.

According to "Entrepreneurship Education and Training Programs Around the World—Dimensions for Success," a 2014 study of entrepreneurship education programs around the globe by the World Bank, entrepreneurship is "the largest single source of new job growth in both developed and developing economies." Therefore, a few weeks ago I was thrilled to see this idea in action when I attended the Eastern European regional finals of "Get in the Ring" (GITR), which took place in Sofia, Bulgaria.
Bulgaria has the lowest levels of public spending on education in the EU. Many of the school facilities are old and crumbling. There are barely any public funds available for building 21st century classrooms equipped with multi-media facilities and language labs. Moreover, there are no public funds for modernizing the Bulgarian school curriculum or for teacher professional development.
Standing in the destruction left by Superstorm Sandy, Eddy Satriya was deeply moved by the efforts of local residents, volunteers and officials to rebuild Breezy Point, NY in the Rockaways. Having known several people affected by the 2004 tsunami in Indonesia, Satriya truly realized the full impact of his time in the U.S. "I can imagine the worst night that the people in Breezy Point faced when the hurricane hit since I also met people in Aceh, Indonesia after the tsunami," he said.
Have you thought about the importance of your networks, both personal and professional? How they shape your career and everyday life? Social network analysis (SNA) is a tool used in modern sociology to identify the links between individuals in various social systems. You can also use it in monitoring and evaluation in order to probe deeper into the power of the social network and how it can be used to measure program outcomes and impact.

Skip to comments.EU will take Britain's UN seat, says Hague
Posted on 07/20/2007 1:21:25 AM PDT by bruinbirdman
William Hague has attacked a "shocking" Government concession that will give a new European Union "foreign minister" the right to speak from Britain's seat on the United Nations Security Council.
The British government had claimed that powers for the EU foreign policy supremo, rechristened a High Representative, have been reduced and his UN role stripped from the new treaty.
However, an EU official confirmed: "We retain, except for the name of the minister, the Constitutional Treaty text of 2004 including the provisions on the UN.
"There is a provision which provides for the representative of the EU to state the position of the EU at the UN Security Council."
The Government had insisted that negotiations on the treaty had ensured that the British presence on the Security Council would never be replaced by an EU representative. However, the text provides for the British seat to be occupied by an EU minister when the bloc has a united position on issues.
Mr Hague, the shadow foreign secretary, has criticised Gordon Brown for allowing "one of the most damaging and important provisions in the rejected EU Constitution" to be resurrected after referendums by the French and Dutch two years ago voted against it.
"It would seriously compromise the independence of our foreign policy," he said. "It is shocking that the Government have yet again let this through and it totally destroys their claim that their so-called red line on foreign policy is effective."
Provisions, drawn word for word from the old constitution, giving the EU "foreign minister" speaking rights from Britain's and France's UN seats will be included in a draft treaty to be presented to a meeting of foreign ministers on Monday, diplomats have confirmed.
"When the Union has defined a position on a subject which is on the United Nations Security Council agenda, those member states which sit on the Security Council shall request that the Union Minister for Foreign Affairs be asked to present the Union's position," the text states.
Unlike Europe's current foreign policy representative Javier Solana, the new "minister" will also be vice-president of the European Commission overseeing an EU diplomatic service, weakening direct control over the post by national governments.
"It is a big step towards the federalists' end goal: a United States of Europe in which we would be represented at the UN not by a British ambassador on the Security Council but by the EU foreign minister, which this new treaty has also taken from the constitution," said Mr Hague.
Speaking in Brussels this week, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, the architect of the old constitution, mocked presentational spin over the "minister".
"The High Representative for Common Foreign and Security is one and the same as the Union Minister for Foreign Affairs," he said.
The issue is set to become a major stumbling block for efforts by Mr Brown, the Prime Minister, to deny a referendum on the EU Treaty.
"With provisions like this, there can be no question but that the new treaty would fundamentally transform the EU and is in effect the EU constitution in all but name, as Gordon Brown has admitted," said Mr Hague. "So the British people must be allowed the final say in the referendum they were promised."
Not that it matters anymore.
Goodbye, Old Europe - enjoy your Islamization and the sacking
of your countries by Germany and the EU.
Hello, Poland - the future.
I know there's someone out there who has knowledge of the UN Charter —
Is it permitted, under the UN Rules and Procedures, for a nation to cede its place - and, presumably, its SC Veto - to another nation or entity?
Something very, very fishy here......
It happened when Taiwan lost its seat to China.
They HAVE been trying for some time, and Merkel has succeeded where Hitler and the others failed.
Of course, it doesn't matter anyhow as long as we have a president that stays strong and believes as most Americans do.
Where do you get these drugs ?
Ohhhh the evil germans took englands car industry and now they take their UN seat.
Didn't God himself grant the english world dominance even if they sit on their lazy asses and keep innovations as far from tham as ever possible ?
To compare Merkel with Hitler shows a state of the mind that cries for strong medication - not for a cure but to keep it from imploding.
Well, the US has only one vote instead of fifty at the UN so the EU gettig one is only fair. Let those individual countries see how it feels...
This will essentially cripple defense of the west in the Security Council.
It is pretty raw behavior on the part of the government to try to deny its subjects at least a referendum when the question is that of ceding sovereignty to another state.
I don't think that anyone 100 years ago could have predicted how far that mighty empire on which the sun never sets would have fallen just a scant century later.
I guess no one should be surprised that Sir Winston Churchill's name is to be struck from the history curriculum in secondary schools in Britain.
Dismissing this with jocular language as if it were unworthy of concern is a mistake IMO.
It seems fair. Germany has beaten England. They HAVE been trying for some time, and Merkel has succeeded where Hitler and the others failed.Funny you say this. I was in college when the Berlin wall fell and studying international relations. Point was made about how every time Germany unified, they tried to take over other countries.
The constitution was rejected , so now they implement it by degree through treaties!
Theres a lesson to be learned here..if anyone is paying attention.....
If all was about facts and figures you were right.
But these hitler comparisons are choosen - let's put it like that not because they are so practical and congruent with the news of the day.
In fact if england gave it's seat to the EU it would be a honourable step away from colonialism - recognising human rights stand higher then british rights.
so I will keep on hating the guts of most people who easily throw in hitler or WWII comparisons...
like this guy here:
it should take france's seat ...not britain's!!!
The most important human rights that any nation is responsible for are those of it's own citizens. Relinquishing sovereignty and world standing is an absolute betrayal of that responsibility.
I must add that you completely lost me with that comment about Colonialism. Maintaining sovereignty is unrelated to colonialism. I will say though that the effort to instill an EU is in effect colonialism on a grand scale, not of undeveloped states in chaos, but of advanced states at the pinnacle of civilization.
The countries that have permanent seats on the Security Council are the countries that won WWII. That made sense at the time. it doesn't make sense any more.
At the very least, the UNSC should add India and Brazil, maybe Japan. There should probably be permanent members from among the sane and stable nations of the Middle East and Africa ... as soon as there is one. Jordan is the only contender I can think of thr the ME, and South Africa is the closest thing to a stable force on that continent, which isn't close enough.
I see a good argument for giving the EU a voice, but how the *&^% did they reach the solution of Britain giving its seat over to the EU while France keeps its seat?
Some of us are.
Weren't we just talking about this? un-freaking-believable.
You do realize the real reason behind all this amnesty insanity is an EU style entity for North America? There is no other reasonable explanation.
"The most important human rights that any nation is responsible for are those of it's own citizens. "
It's about the security council - not about british matters.
Of course if you say that the security of this planet is more british, chineese or american business... then ours. But don't complain next time you're alone in Helmand !
(Actually I think more of the german army should be there - how about you ?)
So I guess giving this SC seat to the EU is a smart move because up to now the brits have lived quite succesfully by the principle of 'divide et impera'.
Especially after their former colony over the atlantic tought them modesty.
If they now decide to let have poland, the netherlands or france or germany and the UK a voice in the SC it wouldn't hurt british interests one bit but improve the british position in europe.
There are many of us that are quite aware that this is what is going on with the spp right here.
If you think it cannot happen, just look at the EU. They have ways around voters.
This incident is a perfect case study, isn't it?
That you attack FReepers personally to protect
your vicious Germany just shows EXACTLY who you are.
Welcome to FReeRepublic, newbie-GermanMASTERofEngland.
Your logic is as twisted as the sickness that you
Germans used to exterminate people in the WW2.
The whole purpose of the EU was apparently to give you control
of England, because you could not beat them at War.
Hopefully, the Brits will wake up. Doubt it, though.
Many FReepers would be against a North American Union because of the amnesty. I would be against the amnesty because it helps to bring about a North American Union.
You bet. It is on the table for the USA.
And to think so many still believe it just couldn't happen here.
Hey, you would be most welcome on some of the threads we've been frequenting lately- your personal witness of the control freaks' progression in Europe is valuable. And many Freepers are in denial.
lol ok.
So I was on spot with my guess rofl.
France is a permanent member of the Security Council. There should be an EU seat to replace both the UK and France. Japan should have a seat along with India. Some thought should be given to removing Russia.
However, I noticed one thing that may be of great importance. A lot of people started out with conspiracy theories. This is probably wrong, and it is definitely the wrong way to go about it. Again to compare with the EU, there were a few people (Monnet, Salter etc) who you could call conspirators (very successful too), but quite early on they lost the power over the "project". It was driven by mainstream politicians who just did not understand where it would lead.
Who cares that the Rome declaration of 1957 talked about "ever closer union"? Just words, words, but in real politics things like lower customs, "industrial politics" etc, that's the meat and potatoe of the politics. Howeer, the path had been set, and with further unenlightened decisions the rot set in - but only much later did it have an effect on most people. By then too many politicians and too much prestige had been involved......and to put it frnakly, even today most politicians, let alone ordinary people, understand exactly what power the EU wields.
Unfortunately, those few who understood where the Coal and Steel Union, the EEC etc would lead, just overstated their case early on. The few sane voices, like the British parliamentarian Enoch Powell was ostracized because of his views on immigration. (Later developments have shown that he was more right than wrong on that question as well.)
Try to analyze the consequences (economical, legal, constitutional) of a North American Union rather than ascribing them to some evil intent.
And remember just because it is not a conspiracy it may still be very bad politics. And vice versa, bad politics help put bad people in power.
1972 - Ted Heath strongly advises the British people that we should join the 'Common Market'. Ironically the Left is most against it.
May 1973 - Grocer Heath insists Britain's future is within the CM, he INSISTS we join.
1st January 1974 - Britain joins the CM.
1st June 1975 - British public narrowly vote to stay in the CM following a rigged referendum.
No real difference until
31st October 1986 - Margaret Thatcher signs the Single European Act, enabling 'closer economic and political cooperation'(!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????).Common Market renamed European Economic Community (EEC)
1st January 1992 - Maastricht Treaty enacted. A Single European Market is in force. EEC quietly renamed European Community. (EC).
November 1996 - EC now called the European Union. The European Central Bank now prints the first prototype Euro banknotes and coins. UK Conservatives split on the issue. Some voices warn of Britain 'sleepwalking into a Federal Republic of Europe, the very entity we fought 2 World Wars to prevent'. Dismissed by Labour Opposition leader Tony Blair as 'Right wing little Englanders.
1st May 1997 - Labour slaughters the divided Conservatives in the General Elections. 24 ours later Blair signs the European Social Chapter, giving special status to the usual racial and sexual minority groups, as well as laying extra bureaucratic burdens on Business.
1st January 2001 - 11 of the 15 member countries ditch their old currency for the Euro. Blair says Britain 'will be left far behind' if we keep the pound.
20th June 2001 - Conservatives are whipped again at the General Election. Liberal press and the BBC gloatingly blame 'Europhobia' ie. the cranky suggestion that we should have our own laws and freedoms.
29th May 2004. France rejects the proposed new European Constitution, as does Holland a few days later. Chancellor Gerhard Shroeder and his Foreign Minister Joska Fischer now referring to the EU as the European Federation.
2007 - everyting us English Nationalists predicted 30+ years ago is coming true. All 3 main UK parties remain committed to EU membership, despite us never having seen even ONE advantage.
Blame the Germans ?
Not their fault. Chancellor Schmidt said at the very beginning the long term desire is Nation called Europe, and not one British Party leader stood up to try and thwart it.
F*****g traitors. Our MPs should be rounded up and stuck in a barbed wire stockade for high treason.
Oh and one last thing, if Britain becomes a Federal European province I intend to take part in an armed struggle to free us. I don't care who is reading this.
No, the EU would have two Security Council seats. France has one too.
While true in the EU, there have been no treaties or agreements signed on the SPP, it's all pie-in-the-sky lip-service. Yes, it would be wise to watch what happens, but I don't think we need to get too worried at this point. I think ScaniaBoy in post #34 hit the nail squarely on the head with his comment (and eloquently, I might add):
Try to analyze the consequences (economical, legal, constitutional) of a North American Union rather than ascribing them to some evil intent.
Thanks for posting. Very interesting. Great thread.
This is not good at all.
Building blocks, building block, step by step, our future too.
Yeah....the treaty seemed just FINE.
Unless you read the FINE print.
My comment was more towards the disparity of the numerous tin horn countries who are represented in the General Assembly compared to the US and our one vote.
Thanks for that reasonable view. I do believe that wild-eyed hype doesn't help anyone, but neither does an assumption of innocence.
These are politicians after all, they are addicted to power over other people, and the use of other people's money. Our founders knew this very well. A guarded suspicion is appropriate.
I don't trust this government, the libs or the 'conservatives', any more. I learned everything I need to know with this last foray into amnesty.
I will remain in strident disagreement with you regarding the EU taking Britain's Security Council seat. The EU disagrees with the US more times than not. Now you're willing to advance it's position at the risk of our own. This is not an act of stabalization. It will be destabalizing. It will further the cause of the muddy thinkers on the world stage. This would be a huge mistake. I encourage Britain to either demand to retain their seat or withdraw from the EU and keep it as a soverign nation. Otherwise they just as well accept mud puddle status and fold up shop. If so, our cause will suffer. Who has been our most strident ally on the Security Council? Care to guess?
The EU is in close partnership with the US - what are you talking about ?
So far the only disagreement I see was on the Iraqi Invasion.
Coudn't you think of a scenario where Europe gets more british by this decision ?
so we have allready 2 ;-)
Any change that sees stong defenders of the West get short shrift in governing bodies, is a terrible change. Whether it be England being absorbed in the EU collective or the US into an AU situation, it silences objections or aspirations of clear thinking states.
Think of our relations with just about alll our neighbors in the North, Central and South America. Do we really want to dilute our will to (let's say) one or two votes out of thirty to fifty?
How would we fight terrorism under these constraints? The absorbtion of England or the US into a large governing body without individual will would be a suicidal move.
Economics is not the most important thing in the world. Survival and free reign to implement military action when necessary without getting permission is an absolute, never to be bargained away.
Are such moves as the EU or the AU a conspiracy? Let's say they are not (being overly charitable). Even without there being a conspiracy the implementation would be just as destructive to self determination.
Not just no, HELL NO to the EU and most certainly an AU. No way, not now not ever! EVER!!!!
How much money is the EU sending to Israel? The answer of course is not one dime. However it does send hundreds of millions to a group of people who have sworn to destroy Israel. If that doesn't tell you all you need to know about the EU, that's too bad. It really should.
The EU equates the Palestinians and Israel equally (at least that's what they say), but they never give Israel the breaks.
What demands has the EU made upon the Palestinians to give up something for peace? The answer is none. Still the EU constantly demand Israel give up land or come to terms with terrorist organizations. Israel is not my only litmus test, but it sure does lay the EU out for all to see.
The EU is reluctant to take measures against Iran. They are reluctant to take measures against terrorists. They are moving more and more people from terrorist states inside their countries to the point that they cannot think problems out clearly.
The EU is dead set against England's and our actions in Iraq. They don't contribute and thwart our moves when possible. Is this what we want in an ally? Do we really want to silence England's voice on the Security Council?
I sure don't.
Why would you think giving the governing body of the EU Britain's seat on the Security Council would make the Security Council more like Britain?
In political terms, the liquid body of the EU and the liquid body of Britain are not soluable. You could mix them, but the fact is, Britain would still drop out to the bottom over time. The EU is muddle headed. They can't even defend their own states let alone the collective. Take a look at France. It watches as groups riot within it's borders unable to take decisive action that will defend the nation. It's tragic really. Now we want to allow it and other states to steal Britain's Security Council seat.
The EU become more like Britain? Not a chance...

Judging from the comments on our blog post about Bridgit Mendler, you guys are huge fans of Good Luck Charlie. Well that's lucky because today we have interviews with the boys from the show: Bradley Steven Perry who plays Gabe, and Jason Dolley, who plays PJ. Here's Bradley. . .
Q: Can you describe Gabe in Good Luck Charlie?
Bradley: Gabe is kind of sad right now because he was the youngest kid, and he had all the attention, but then the baby was born. So he's been not getting all the attention. He's just been on his own. And in the first episode he actually goes to the neighbor's house to find food. He's not getting fed because so much attention has been going to the baby.
Q: What book are you reading now?
Bradley: I'm reading The Million Dollar Throw by Mike Lupica. It's a football book. I'm such a big sports fan that I love all the sports books and I'm right in the middle of it and I absolutely love it.
Q: If you could make a new ice cream flavor, what would it include and what would you call it?
Bradley: It would probably include oreos, marshmallows, chocolate sprinkles and cinnamon. I'd call it the Bradley Blast.
Q: Any talents that people don't know you have?
Bradley: I can make weird noises with my mouth. (Demonstrates — sounds like a dripping faucet.)
Q: Any pets?
Bradley: A dog, a Pomeranian and her name is Gidget. When we first got her we couldn't come up with a name for her and she ran over to our pool and jumped on a boogie board and stayed there so we named her Gidget. We put a tutu on her and get her to spin in a circle.
Q: Biggest fear
Bradley: Spiders. Even more than sharks and snakes.
And now Jason. . .
Q: Describe PJ. What's he like?
Jason: PJ is a wannabe rock star. He has a garage band with his best friend Emmett who plays drums. They go downstairs and they make noise. Their brothers and sisters and parents just kind of ignore it. PJ's a good guy. He is best described by his little brother, Gabe: he's not very think-y. His heart is in the right place, but he misses some things from time to time. He's not dumb; he's just not a brilliant guy.
Q: How would you describe Bridgit?
Jason: Bridgit's very outgoing. She is very comfortable in her own skin and she's very friendly. She's very welcoming especially on our set. Whenever we have guest stars they're always welcome in her room you know just to hang out. Her room is sort of like the hangout room for everybody. Guests, cast, everybody will just hang out during breaks. During lunch, we eat lunch together. She really brings very a social tone to the set and that's really cool.
Q: What about Bradley?
Jason: Bradley is awesome. Bradley is very, very intelligent. He's very outspoken. He's very articulate, very much wise beyond his years. The running joke on the set is that he's a forty-year-old in an eleven-year-old's body.
Q: What three books would you recommend?
Jason: Number one on my list would be The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I remember reading that and falling in love with it and turning the pages constantly just to find out what happens next. Lord of the Rings is also a really good series. It might be a little more difficult, but I think if you're interested in fantasy and stuff certainly Lord of the Rings. One other book for middle school. . . I liked the Hardy Boys. That might be a little bit juvenile, but I always loved reading those.
Q: Do you have any favorite comic books or series?
Jason: I'm pretty much a Batman guy. Pretty much all the way Batman. I've read some other comics but I'm really much more about Batman for sure.
Q: I heard that you liked to sleep with a stuffed animal when you were younger. Is that true?
Jason: That's definitely true. Actually I used to sleep with nine or ten at a time because I couldn't pick a favorite. It wound up I would just pile them into my bed and then I would sleep next to them. I wouldn't hold them in my arms as I slept. There would just be a pile of them next to me because I couldn't pick a favorite. I had to have them all in there.

The headphones that came with it are a joke and extremely uncomfortable. I have the Stiletto in the kitchen hooked up to the Bose... when the antenna picks up the signal, it's a nice little gadget. Otherwise.. a total waste of money.

Group: The Series
Artist: Katsushika HOKUSAI
Birth/Death: 1760–1849
Title: Hodogaya on the Tokaido Road
Date Made: c.1830-5
Lender: Allen Memorial Art Museum, Oberlin College
Credit Line: Mary A. Ainsworth Bequest, 1950
Before the time of Hokusai the realistic portrayal of a scene had not been a part of traditional Japanese art. The use of perspective, shading, and three-dimensional drawing, deriving from European art had an undeniable impact on non-traditional Japanese artists. They gradually included these elements of expression in their work. The use of realistic methods such as Western perspective had an undeniable impact on Japanese artists, especially of the Ukiyo-e school.
In Hodogaya on the Tokaido Road, Mount Fuji is seen through a screen of twisted pines, planted to offer protection from the weather. In the foreground a lively group of travellers make their way from Edo, to the imperial capital, Kyoto.
For Monet, a screen of trees framing a background offered interesting compositional possibilities. He explored these possibilities in his 'Poplar' series. Foreground and background are painted with little indication of the space between them. This seems to bring the background forward one moment, then push it back the next, helping to create a visually intriguing composition.
