By PATSY STODDARDEditor
How do you go about starting a home based business? The owners at Costume Craze weren't thinking of costumes when they began their venture, they were focused on computer software. An experiment to market the software started with monk robe costumes just to show how the software worked. The sale of these monk robes was such a successful venture the business headed off in a new direction.
Kate Maloney said running a home based business is the same as running a business outside the home. The same business rules apply, you need to spend less than you make.
Costume Craze started in 2001. Maloney graduated from Brigham Young University in 2002. Her brother Matthew developed the computer software which he wanted to market and he wanted Kate to help. Also working on the business was their mom Kathleen who previously managed a doctors office. No one had any experience in running a retail or an online business. "Even if you don't have experience, if you have the drive you can make it happen," said Maloney. The motto for their business is thousands of costumes, millions of smiles. The website is costumecraze.com. Over the nine years the company has been in business, Ghost Busters have been a hot seller and the Fred Flintstone costume. "This is a great costume for couples and the kids can go as Pebbles and Bam Bam," said Maloney.
To begin with the business didn't have any employees, her brother was still selling the software, but eventually he stopped and concentrated on the costume business and Kathleen started working at the costume business full time and gave up the doctors office. Kate began thinking "what have I done?" The business was getting a couple of orders a week and Kate wondered if it was going to work out. In 2002, orders began picking up. One day she took 22 packages to the mail and was just thrilled with those orders. "I knew we had a lot of work to do. We only had 12 costume selections on our website. This past year we had $10 million in revenue and 27 year-round employees and we add 175 employees at Halloween. Our biggest shipping day was 18,000 packages. We have 15,000 different costumes now. It's been a fantastic ride and an amazing seven or eight years. I have learned so much. I studied entrepreneurship in college but there are so many things they don't teach. In March 2002, Matt bought 140 Jedi robes and by September they were all gone," said Kate.
Kate said they weren't spending any money on advertising, but investing in their infrastructure. The software Matt developed gives the company a competitive advantage and these savings are passed onto the customer. Profits are invested back into the company and they own their own building now. The software allows a static website for people to go to for shopping, but allows the freedom to change prices and put items on sale automatically. Kate said the popular costumes are driven by Hollywood. Manufacturers bid on the costumes and they are licensed. Whoever receives these bids is who Costume Craze orders the costumes from and they are copyright approved.
One point for businesses to consider is how do you make yourself different. Lower prices was one approach for Costume Craze and customers need to be able to find you quickly and easily. The products on the website must be easy to find. Your business needs to be top in the search engines. "When people come into a retail store looking for something, they have put forth an effort to get there and they might purchase a substitute product. When people are shopping on line and you don't have what they need or they can't find what they need, they exit very quickly. You need to make people realize you have exactly what they need. We try to make sure everything is in stock year-round. There is a cost for all this inventory, but we can keep everything in stock. This is our brand. Our competitors are not as aggressive as us in keeping stock year-round. This works to our advantage. If the people want something and it's not there, you lose them," said Kate.
Kate was questioned on how it works out working with family. She said sometimes heart to heart talks are needed to get through tough times. You need to know the various personalities in the family. She has one brother who is an accountant and her sister is a lawyer, they don't have the personalities to work in the family business. But the three who are involved in the business get along well together. "You don't need to know the answers to all the questions," said Kate.
You need to have an exclusive with one thing, something you are known for. Like Walmart, they are the only place that you can get hand-trimmed Tyson chicken trimmed and ready. Having an exclusive builds customer loyalty. Costume Craze has 5,000 more products than their competitor. Costume Craze targets customers who are looking for something specific, in stock and at a good price. The costumes range in quality from $9.99 to $1,000. Costume Craze stocks $2 million in inventory. Kathleen does the buying and forecasting on repeat products. Kate adds new products and new product lines. Right now she is working on expanding the jewelry line and colored contact lenses. Customer Craze has a policy where if you place an order by 4 p.m. mountain time, the order will be shipped out same day. "If you want it tomorrow, I can get it to you tomorrow. We are kinda like control freaks. I like to have that control to get things shipped quickly," said Kate.
Kate said the business expanded so fast they ran out of room at their home and moved into a warehouse in 2004. Prior to that desks were set up in bedrooms and the Elvis and Marilyn Monroe costumes were stacked in the kitchen. When they got up in the morning, their employees were already there. On Halloween of 2003 their biggest day was 700 packages. Several times the police stopped by to see how things were going. When they ran out of room in the house for inventory, they rented a U-haul and parked it on the lawn. They decided to just work through things and "figure it out later." You don't have to have all the answers all the time. After the Halloween rush was when they purchased a warehouse. Then something started happening, after the bills were paid, except the UPS bill, then it was Nov. 1 and 31 orders came in, on Nov. 2, 30 orders came in and Nov. 3, 30 orders came in and on and on; we became a year-round business. "We are busiest around Halloween, but it's an amazing thing. We have 400 orders a day year-round now. We need the right mix of inventory. We stock the Flintstones all year, but witches are in demand only around Halloween. We have international customers and sell a lot overseas," stated Kate.
Kate said they were turned down six times for a SBA loan. They went to a bank and established a lending relationship with them. They went from a SBA to a commercial loan. In the early years, there were no paychecks and she went three years without new shoes or clothes and eating peanut butter and jelly. "It's risky, but it's a calculated risk. You need to know that what you're doing is going to work. You have to sacrifice before it takes off. We've gone from $700,000 to $5 million. We had big dreams. We increased our product line and the business grew. It didn't feel like sacrifice, it was the natural thing to do," Kate said.
Kate said the social networking sites are important. There was a mention in a blog about the sassy Big Bird costume and hits to the website went way up with people looking at that costume. Once something is up there on the blog it stays there.
Kate said there are several myths surrounding people who own their own business. One myth is that you're rich.
Sometimes you need to just let your mind wander and think of ways to fix things. Kate said she's not in it for the money but for the intrigue of watching something grow. You need money to live.
Another myth is that you get to tell people what to do when you own your own business. "You want to delegate, but it's hard, to let things go," said Kate.
Another myth is that you can take a vacation anytime you want. That's just not true, you have to be there to run the business.
"I enjoy being an entrepreneur and coming up with new ideas. Being an entrepreneur is fun. I can't imagine anything more exciting and more rewarding," said Kate.

Gold Coast Becomes Virgin Blue's Fastest Growing Port01/07/2002
New Gold Coast-Adelaide Route Starts Today
Low fares have landed on the Gold-Coast-Adelaide route with Virgin Blue today beginning non-stop flights between the two cities, with fares starting from $149* one way and with a Fully Flexible walk-up fare of $319 one way, half of the $646 walk-up fare that the competition has been demanding from the travelling public until now.
The new service is the latest on offer out of the convenient airport, and follows increasing demand for more low fare options to and from one of Australia's premier tourist spots.
Virgin Blue will offer a daily direct service, with the launch flight arriving at Gold Coast International airport at 12.10pm today.
Chief Executive Brett Godfrey said, The Gold Coast is really proving to be a key port for Virgin Blue and with the recent move into bigger facilities, we have the opportunity to continue growing the number of existing services and destination options. On January 1 we had 3 flights a day in and out of the Gold Coast and today we've got double that with 6 services.
The popularity of Virgin Blue's newly introduced recent day return to Sydney departing at 7.00am and returning at 8.45pm has proven popular with the local business community, demonstrating that the Gold Coast is a vital centre for business traffic.
Adelaide joins the growing list of destinations Virgin Blue flies to from the Gold Coast, including non-stop services from the tourist mecca to Sydney and Melbourne and easy and convenient connecting flights to Perth and Launceston.
The flights are also expected to boost tourism in both directions with Gold Coast travellers able to afford a weekend getaway discovering the delights of South Australia, while Adelaide locals can head north to swap the winter chill for some surf and sunshine.
The route will appeal to leisure travellers and those wanting to visit family and friends but it will also prove an affordable option for business Guests looking to reduce their travel budget even more.
It's a big day for the low fare airline with the Adelaide-Coolangatta launch coinciding with the start of Virgin Blue's new direct Sydney-Cairns service.
Brett Godfrey continued, Two launch flights in one day is a pretty good indication of our accelerated growth plan kicking in. It's an exciting phase for Virgin Blue as we get more aircraft, more people and bring more low fares to more destinations across the country and hopefully overseas by the end of the year.
* Fares include all taxes including the Ansett passenger ticket levy and are for flights booked on the Internet. $10 more by phone.

From its inception veil-piercing has been a scourge on corporate law. Exactly when the veil of limited liability can and will be circumvented to reach into a shareholder's own assets has befuddled courts, litigants, and scholars alike. And the doctrine has been bedeviled by empirical evidence of a chasm between the theory and practice of veil-piercing; notably, veil-piercing claims inexplicably seem to prevail more often in Contract than Tort, a finding that flouts the engrained distinction between voluntary and involuntary creditors.
With a dataset of 2908 cases from 1658 to 2006 this study presents the most comprehensive portrait of veil-piercing decisions yet. Unlike predecessors, this study examines Fraud, a long-suspected accessory to veil-piercing, as well as specific sub-claims in Contract, Tort, and Fraud to provide a fine-grained portrait of voluntary and involuntary creditors. And this study analyzes the rationales instrumental to a piercing decision.
The findings largely comport with our legal intuitions. The most successful civil veil-piercing claims lie in Fraud or involve specific evidence of fraud or misrepresentation. Further, claims not only prevail more often in Tort than Contract, but adhere to the voluntary-involuntary creditor distinction. Surprisingly, though, veil-piercing presents a greater risk to individual shareholders than corporate groups.

JACKSON — District 20 under the new House redistricting plan includes most of northern Monroe County, a tiny fraction of southern Lee County and the tiniest southwest corner of Itawamba County.
Under the plan developed by the House Republican majority, there are 142 people in part of the Bigbee Fork precinct of Itawamba that will be placed in District 20 that is represented by Chris Brown, R-Aberdeen.
Nobody can say for sure why those people, who are currently in District 21, represented by Donnie Bell, R-Fulton, are being moved.
Redrawing 122 House districts to match population shifts in order to keep all districts close to equal in population is like putting together a big jigsaw puzzle.
And then, federal mandates must be followed, such as ensuring African American voter strength is not diluted while trying to not split geographic lines, such as those of cities and counties.
All in all, it is a difficult process than can make for some unusual districts.
Still, despite all those above-mentioned redistricting obstacles, the Bigbee Fork move is hard to understand.
By the way, 2,445 people in Nettleton and Petersburg precincts in Lee County will move into the primarily Monroe County-based District 20.

Movie Summary
No More Mr. Nice Guy (Wir können auch anders...)
Description: Most funny movies don't come across well in print, but with some the humor is almost impossible to discern in written form. This well-received German farce reportedly had its audiences in stitches. The clue, if there is one is in the performances of Joachim Król and Horst Krause as Rudi and Most Kipp, an ill-matched set of illiterate brothers on their way to investigate an inheritance from their grandmother in a formerly inacessible part of (east) Germany on the Russian border. While they are traveling there, they pick up Viktor (Konstantin Kotljarov), a hitchhiking Russian army deserter who is packing a large submachine gun and speaks not one word of German. When this odd trio drives into a confrontation with a batch or robbers, they fend them off a bit too enthusiastically, and soon they are being chased by the police.~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

Pavan leads Canada victory over Trinidad and Tobago at NORCECA Championships
CAGUAS, Puerto Rico – Sarah Pavan of Kitchener, Ont., recorded a match-high 23 points leading Canada to a 3-1 (25-15, 28-30, 25-22, 25-11) victory over Trinidad and Tobago in day one of the NORCECA (North and Central America and Caribbean) Women's Volleyball Continental Championship on Monday night.
Three other Canadian players finished the match with double digits in the scores. Tasha Holness of Calgary had 18 including six blocks, while Kyla Richey of Robert's Creek, B.C., and Marisa Field of Kelowna, B.C., added 13 and 11 respectively.
''It feels really good to win the opening match of the tournament,'' said Pavan. ''Trinidad keeps improving every time we play them and they came out really strong, but we were able to fight through and pull out a win so we're really happy with the outcome and look forward to playing tomorrow.''
The Canadians held an 18-13 margin in the battle at the net.
"The first set was an easy set for us so in the second we were too laid back and brought them into the game,'' said Canada's head coach Arnd Ludwig. ''It took us the whole third set to get us back into the game but we were able to recover and get a win.''
Canada, ranked 20th in the world is in Group B with Trinidad and Tobago (number 29) and world number-two USA. Group A teams are 19th ranked Puerto Rico, Costa Rica (23rd) and Mexico (27th) and Group C is comprised of defending champion the Dominican Republic (15th), Cuba (8th) and Panama (55th).
The top team in each group after the round robin get a bye to the semis while the second place teams and the best third place team play in the quarterfinals.
The Canadians face the U.S., Tuesday. The quarterfinals are Thursday, semis on Friday and the medal matches Saturday.
Cuba is the most successful country with 13 crowns followed by United States with five. Canada is the only other country with double figures in the medals department with two silvers and eight bronzes.
This year's winner earns a ticket to the FIVB World Cup in Japan in November.

1. Which procedure is best for me?
You and your surgeon will discuss the option that is best for you.
2. What results can I expect from this procedure?
The successful maintenance of excess body weight with adherence to the recommendations you were given for a healthy lifestyle.
3. How soon can I resume work after surgery?
Normal work schedules may be resumed as early as three weeks after surgery. However, for any job requiring heavy lifting, repetitive bending or pushing, six to eight weeks of recuperation is recommended.
4. How long does the actual surgery take?
One to three hours, but this varies depending on the individual and surgery.
5. Can this surgery be performed using minimally invasive techniques?
Yes. We perform all our surgical procedures laparoscopically.
6. What do you expect from me if I decide to choose a surgical solution?
You must agree to follow the instructions of your team. Complying with the guidelines will help to ensure your overall safety during the process.
7. How long will I be in the hospital?
The usual hospital stay is one day for the lap band. Two to three days for Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy.
8. What are the risks associated with surgery?
As with any major surgical procedure, complications can occur. These include the potential of: wound infection, bleeding, respiratory problems, bowel obstruction and malnutrition.
9. After weight loss, what can I do about my excess skin?
Once your weight has been stabilized, you can be referred to plastic surgery for evaluation.
10. Will my insurance cover these procedures?
Most insurance companies will cover these procedures. You will need to contact your insurance company to see if they will cover these procedures.
11. Can I get pregnant after surgery?
We recommend that you wait at least two years before becoming pregnant.
12. How long does the gastric band stay in?
The gastric band is designed to stay in for life.
13. Will having weight-loss surgery mean I can eat anything and not exercise?
No. Surgery is the beginning of a multi-disciplinary process that includes exercise. There is a very special diet that MUST be followed after surgery, and you MUST commit to the program. Surgery provides a tool for weight loss with a lifetime commitment to change. Weight-loss surgery is the beginning of a new life.
14. How much weight can I expect to lose?
Weight loss will vary depending upon your weight prior to surgery. After your surgery, your choice of foods and level of activity will change. The majority of patients lose one-third of their original body weight within two years of surgery.
15. I've heard that hair loss is common after weight-loss surgery. Is this true?
Yes. Any time you experience rapid weight loss, you can expect some hair loss. This is a temporary problem. It usually occurs during the third through the eleventh month after surgery, the period of rapid weight loss. Hair typically returns fuller and richer than before.

Good skate by Brian, I'll be surprised if that doesn't go into the lead.
Good skate by Brian, I'll be surprised if that doesn't go into the lead.
Really love to see how the French are supporting their skaters!
Brian completed the jumps, kudos to him, but I don't like the program/music/choreography. Still, good job.
Hahah.. the French crowd loves him. Great skate. Fun.
wow wow wow brian
Happy for Brian.
Yeah, Joubert! Not his biggest fan, but it's great to see him go out there with his old confidence back and really sell the hell out of his program in front of the home crowd.
Joubert should go comfortably into 1st.
Nice to see him so happy. Don't know how he saved the 3A, but saved it he did. Some tough nerves there.
Great job Brian!! Hopefully that score holds up a long time.
Brian's score is higher than I have expected.
Great skate from Brian, good for him! He has set the bar with that score.
Majorov O_O
I like Joubert, but that score is definitely based on home field advantage. Kudos he skated well tho'. Brian has been through a lot and he's well-liked within the sport for his dedication and charisma.
Holy crap, Majorov's not doing his best program!

Perfect (color) Match
"This was a last minute purchase and it turned out to be the perfect match for my outfit. I typically wear some type of platform shoe. Although the color was a perfect match I still prefer a platform. I have a wide foot and the shoe is slightly narrow for my liking. Not an all day shoe especially if you tend to do a lot of walking at work."

Job Opportunities
According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, respiratory care is one of the nation's fastest-growing allied health professions, with employment opportunities expected to grow faster than average (19 to 23 percent) through the year 2016 due to:

Credentialing and Licensing
The National Board for Respiratory Care offers certification and registration to graduates of programs accredited by the Committee on Accreditation for Respiratory Care.
Two credentials are awarded to respiratory therapists who satisfy the requirements:
Graduates from accredited entry-level or advanced-level programs in respiratory therapy may take the CRT examination. CRTs who were graduated from advanced-level programs and who meet additional experience requirements can take two separate examinations leading to the award of the RRT credential.
All states except Alaska and Hawaii, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico require respiratory therapists to obtain a license. Passing the CRT exam qualifies respiratory therapists for state licenses. Also, most employers require respiratory therapists to maintain a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) certification. Supervisory positions and intensive-care specialties often require the RRT or at least RRT eligibility.

|In response to Re: Copper Pipe Leaks
Your first clue is that it is becoming a common problem in the area. This should raise a big red flag about water quality!!! Have your water tested for PH value. It may be necessary to do this a number of times at several day intervals, to catch variations.
Your water PH should always be higher than 7. If it isn't, raise hell with the water dept.
Acidic water will eat pinholes in copper tubing regardless of grade or type or country of origin. Heavier tubing just takes a little longer.
If acidic water is not the problem, they you've got some bad tubing.
: I have encountered 5 leaks in the Type M copper tube in my home. All of the leaks have occurred in the cold water piping. This piping is 3/4" in diameter. I am on a municipal water system which uses surface water.
: The piping manufacture looked at the pipe and suggested that the water is the problem. He stated that it appears to be cold water pitting, but admits that this is usually seen in areas using well water. He also stated that the piping looks brand new inside and says that 11 yr old pipe should have a protective layer of corrosion inside. The only evidence of a problem from the outside is a very small pinhole leak. Inside is sort of a blister of corrosion. The last piece remove had two leaks and 4 blisters.
: Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this. Additionally, what material should be used when it is replaced. I've considered PEX, CPVC and Type L Copper tube. I should also note that the plumbers I've spoken with seem to believe that this has become a common problem in this area.
: Thanks

Dang, Joker, you're a life-safer! I couldn't resist my own impatience, so I went to BB today to pick up the Sony hybrid tips. They're great! Just what I wanted: fantastic seal (better than the Shure silicones, actually), and don't have the weird, plasticky, hollow effect that the Shure silicones add.
Definitely worth the $9. Thanks for the heads-up!
thanks in advance

Paris Fashion Week: Street Style
Borrowed from the boys, graphic, glossy and with a Sixties groove — this was Miuccia Prada's direction for Miu Miu fall. This was Prada's sartorial soliloquy on suit dressing: straight, loose blazers and trousers and shiny jewel tones. All of which can also be applied to shorts and miniskirt suits. Oh, and don't forget the cravats and ties... a bit of flourish at the neck is a must.
Prada also worked drop-waist suede looks in a Brady-era brown, as well as a finely patterned version that cribbed directly from the gentleman's fabric section. But here, Prada turned jackets with a subtle butterfly collar into capes, teamed with vibrantly printed shirts and great little bags in leather or suede.

Great Boots!!
"I love these boots! They do run a half size small, I got a half size up from my normal size and it was perfect. (manufacturer site actually reccommends a half size bigger) I got them in black and the material is great looking (love that they are vegan suede not real!) and I really like the height of the shaft - they are not over the knee (I don't know why dsw even says that...the manufacturer site and other places I've seen them don't call them over the knee, they're not meant to be) but they are nice and tall and hit just below the knee. I have very skinny calves and have just a tad of room left in the calf area but it's not floppy or gaping looking (although I might pin them to be narrower when paired with leggings just for no gap, i like that the style allows for it). I never, ever wear heels and am a big heel whimp and while they're no slippers, they are quite comfortable for heels and I've worn them for long works days while being on my feet all day and was fine. I've walked in them on ice (carefully!) and been fine - they could possible use some yak tracks for traction on severe ice but they are definitely not extra-slippery like some shoe soles. I have already received tons of compliments."

Infertility in Women
- Home
- Health Information
- Infertility in Women
(Female Infertility)
- An egg is released from the woman's ovaries (ovulation).
- The egg travels to the fallopian tubes. Here, the man's sperm can fertilize it.
- If the egg is fertilized (conception), it moves down the fallopian tubes to the uterus.
- It implants itself into the wall of the uterus. It then begins its 40 weeks of fetal growth.

Will they last?
"My husband got these shoes for running, as he has not had good luck with more structured shoes. He generally wears a size 12 or 13. We went with a size 12 W. They were too short, and I'm hopeful that we will find a 13 W somewhere because otherwise they'll be too narrow. I'm also concerned that because they are so lightweight that the materials won't stand up to the abuse that will be dished out by trail running."

The Wilson County School Board approved the contract with new Director of Schools Dr. Donna Wright.
"What an honor and privilege to serve as the new Director of Schools," Wright told the School Board.
The contract was approved unanimously. Wright will begin the position July 1.
The board thanked Mary Ann Sparks who had filled in as the Interim Director of Schools while the search took place.
"It's been an honor," said Sparks. "I've really enjoyed it and learned a lot."
County Attorney Mike Jennings let the board know in his remarks that the School System has filed suit against the City of Mt. Juliet to protect themselves in an ongoing negotiation about liquor by the drink tax.
The cities have been collecting taxes on liquor by the drink for the past several years, but were unaware that a portion was supposed to go to the school system.
"It's not a lawsuit out of animosity," said Jennings. "It's a lawsuit to protect our rights."
A new law states that school systems have to file by June 1 to have the case heard in the county. If not, it would be moved to Davidson County.
Jennings said that he had talked with City of Mt. Juliet leaders about the lawsuit, and they understood why it was filed. He said that he is hopeful that an agreement will be reached soon.
The School Board accepted an agreement Friday with the City of Lebanon on their portion owed to the school system.

By DIANE TADEHARAGuest Writer
As we approach Emery County's Relay for Life, we continue to offer tribute to those who have faced cancer, fought the battle, and survived. We hold dear the memory of the courageous warriors who fought the good fight to the end. We carry their spirit and dreams forward into the battle to bring honor to their families.
This week we examine one of life's oldest professions as a byproduct of cancer - teaching. Teaching has been a vital aspect of human evolution. Since the beginning of mankind, we have taught and been taught. For babes-in-arms, we teach that a cry will provoke a needed response; to our children we teach the ways of the family. We continue to try to teach teens to recall the lessons they learned of right and wrong. In some way, to someone, somewhere, every one of us has been a teacher. Fay Franklin, a seven-year survivor of breast cancer has become a teacher in a big way. It may not have been something she dreamed of becoming as a little girl, but in her efforts to help change the potential reality for women in her life, she teaches almost daily.
Fay and her husband, James, moved to Huntington from New Mexico in July of 2002. Fay has always promoted the value of self-care and to that end, was dedicated to self-breast exams. Fay was being treated for postmenopausal symptoms with hormone replacement therapy, (estrogen). She and James were married only six years when she discovered a small lump during one of her exams.
Four months would pass without telling anyone for fear of what it may be. In the spring of 2003, Fay told James and went for a mammogram. The lump did not appear on the test. Fay was positive she felt something. After being told the mammogram was negative, she consulted her doctor. The doctor acknowledged the presence of a lump; an ultrasound confirmed the existence of not one, but two lumps. Biopsy provided the malignant diagnosis and the disconcerting fact that her cancer was estrogen-based.
One week later Fay had a total mastectomy. Analysis of the lymph nodes that were removed proved the cancer was caught early. With the surgery alone, Fay was given a 93 percent of not contracting cancer in the other breast. Fay opted not to supplement her surgery with any other treatments or medications. She continues to be diligent with self-breast exams and her annual check-ups.
As cancer does not seem to run in Fay's family, she teaches women in her circle of life not to feel false security because of that, but, to always take care of themselves and do self-breast exams. Fay's fears of facing cancer were minimized by her solid marriage and supportive husband and mother.
While Fay triumphed over the cancer, she suffered a devastating blow exactly one month after her surgery when her mother suffered a serious stroke. Fay's role was instantly reversed to giving care rather than receiving care.
As Fay was forced to look at life from this new perspective, she discovered how much she had learned about cancer and living. Fay has shared her knowledge and support with many women in her workplace and community. She gives frequent reminders to the women she works with at the Huntington power plant to do their own exams.
She has developed bonds through the breast cancer walk in Salt Lake City with her daughter and Relay for Life here. These proactive steps have provided an arena to channel her energy into.
Fay understands that women often struggle with self-image and as a direct result of that, self-esteem when breast cancer drops in. She explained that she feels maintaining a positive attitude and praying a lot was half the battle. Her experience with cancer has allowed her to help educate and support other women and endorse the real need for self-breast exams by telling others what she has been through. Fay may not find herself in a classroom, but she carries the responsibility to teach with pride.

Bernard Siegan Memorial Conference
Keynote Address
by Richard Epstein
Richard Epstein, the James Parker Hall Distinguished Service Professor of Law at the University of Chicago Law School, opened the 2007 Bernard Siegan Memorial Conference on Economic Liberties, Property Rights, and the Original Meaning of the Constitution.
Epstein framed the conference of six scholastic papers discussing either economic liberties or property rights by referencing two important federal cases. He cited the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark 2005Kelo v. City of New London decision, which refused to limit the government's eminent domain power with respect to allowing private property to be handed over to a private developer, and the ongoing Goldstein v. Pataki case, in which 13 residents and business owners stand in opposition to a massive $4 billion redevelopment project in Brooklyn, NY.
Richard Epstein is a director of the John M. Olin Program in Law and Economics at the University of Chicago Law School. Since 1972, he has taught, among other courses, torts, civil procedure, land use planning, and property, real estate and finance law. Epstein is the author of more than 10 books and numerous articles on a wide range of legal and interdisciplinary subjects.
Hosted by the Center for the Study of Constitutional Originalism at the University of San Diego School of Law, the Bernard Siegan Memorial Conference on Economic Liberties, Property Rights, and the Original Meaning of the Constitution brought together leading national legal scholars to discuss the intentions of the American founders with respect to economic liberties and private property rights.

The Energy Policy Challenges California Will Face in Implementing California Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32)
California Energy Commissioner John Geesman discusses the energy policy challenges that California will face in implementing Assembly Bill 32, which seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. John L. Geesman was originally appointed to the California Energy Commission in 2002 to fill an unexpired term. He was reappointed to a full five-year term by Governor Gray Davis on December 31, 2002, and confirmed by the Senate. Commissioner Geesman serves as presiding member of the Energy Commission's renewables and facility sitting committees. He is an associate member on several other committees including the Integrated Energy Policy Report Committee. The event is presented by the USD School of Law's Energy Policy Initiatives Center (EPIC), an academic and research center that studies how energy policy issues affect the San Diego County region and California, and the Environmental Law Society, which strives to expose students to all facets of environmental practice and sponsors discussions on current issues in environmental law.

State Constitutionalism and Modern Governance: What's the Big Idea?
Professor Daniel B. Rodriguez, Warren Distinguished Professor of Law, University of San Diego School of Law, explores the underlying principles of state constitutionalism and, in doing so, wanders into the enduring debate over the nature and scope of American constitutionalism more generally. The differences between federal and state constitutional theory are real, not illusory. There are, Professor Rodriguez will argue, distinct governance objectives, mirrored by rather unusual intra-state rules and procedures which, when better understood, point toward a new theory of state constitutionalism and state constitutional law in the modern United States.

It was a case of close but no cigar for the Blues as the Super Rugby strugglers went down 30-27 to the Highlanders in Dunedin.
It was a case of close but no cigar for the Blues as the struggling Super Rugby outfit went down 30-27 to the Highlanders in Dunedin on Friday.
The men from Auckland are now really staring down the barrel after suffering their fifth successive loss, and seventh defeat of the season.
Both sides crossed the whitewash twice, while the battle of the boot between pivots Mike Delany and Gareth Anscombe kept the scoreboard ticking over and proved to be the difference in the end with the former winning the kicking duel.
The visitors had a chance to draw the game in injury time, but new skipper Luke Braid opted for the win instead and was made to rue that decision as the Highlanders managed to hold off a last-gasp onslaught from their New Zealand rivals.
The Highlanders knew they had a game on their hands after the Blues made the best possible start thanks to a try in the corner by full-back Hadleigh Parkes three minutes into the match.
It was the result of a Highlanders error and quick thinking by Ma'a Nonu who pounced on a dropped pass by Shaun Treeby, broke a tackle and from an ensuing ruck, the ball was spread wide to Parkes for the opening score.
Anscombe failed to add the extras from far out and the Highlanders hit back with a try to Treeby – the centre making amends for his earlier blunder. Hosea Gear took a clever inside pass from Delany, drew the defence and linked with Treeby who had a clear run to the line.
Delany was more successful with his touchline conversion and then added his first penalty of the match minutes later to extend the lead to 10-5.
Delany increased his team's lead even further with his second penalty (13-5), but Anscombe closed the gap with his first three-pointer from bang in front before adding another to make it 13-11 after 28 minutes.
Anscombe was able to put his side back in front (13-14) with his third successive penalty, but the lead changed hands once more before half-time thanks to Delany's accurate boot when Nonu was caught in possession under his own posts.
So at 16-14, the Highlanders went into the break in front.
The see-saw battle continued in the second half, with Anscombe and Delany trading four penalties between them until the Highlanders went ahead 22-20 as Bryce Lawrence's whistle continued to dominate.
Blues coach Pat Lam replaced Alby Mathewson for the under-fire Piri Weepu, but the All Blacks halfback made an immediate impact after putting Rene Ranger over from close range. Anscombe converted and the Blues led 27-22.
Delany kicked his sixth penalty after a frantic Highlanders attack and the Blues led by two points going into the last quarter of a thrilling encounter.
But the Highlanders ultimately had the last laugh when the southerners resolutely pegged back that advantage and replacement Kurt Baker forced the final lead change when he doggedly pursued Gear's kick which Ranger had knocked back over the visitors' tryline. Baker dived on the loose ball to score, Delany missed the conversion, but the Highlanders were in front with 10 minutes left to play.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
It was the Highlanders' first win over the Blues since 2006, and their sixth victory of 2012 that lifts them to fourth place on the overall standings.

JGD 30: Coming of Age
Kevin McCartney
December 05 2013 02:51PM
Photo from Winnipeg White Out
A return to Atlanta's old stomping grounds seems like the perfect setting for a film about coming of age in a world of high expectations and delayed maturity. The Jets turn 30 today (sort of), and despite recent additions to the 'W' column, questions persist about whether the Jets are really turning a corner. I picture Maggie Gyllenhaal telling The Jet (the adapted Thrasher from the awful Guardian Project, obviously) that he needs to grow up at the very moment he is most confused about how. Cue the montage.
The pressing question for the Jets is one of process over results. This coach called a 15-shot game of give-away a 'success' in a game 3 loss to Minnesota. In game 29, the Jets' coach was once again happy enough with the score that he didn't want to pry into the process too much. An unlikely performance by a second line with Chris Thorburn on his off-wing overshadowed another tough game for Mark Stuart and Mark Scheifele, and created hope where it shouldn't otherwise be.
Our protagonist is facing the ghosts of his past with an uncertain future. Will The Jet stop measuring himself against others and start trying to be his best version of himself??
I haven't seen official lines yet, but Noel likes to stick with his lineup when it wins, so I'm predicting the same lines as in New York.
Jets Forwards
- Ladd – Little – Wheeler
- Thorburn – Jokinen – Setoguchi
- Halischuk – Scheifele – Frolik
- Wright – Albert – Peluso
I didn't get to see the Rangers game, so it's hard for me to comment on that second line. Perhaps this makes me stubborn, but I refuse to believe it was anything more than good bounces against a team with poor defence and playing their backup goalie.
Florida isn't a great challenge in general, obviously, but it may be that the bounces dry up. Thorburn is better than we often give him credit for at a few things – getting the puck to the end boards, making contact, and creating chaos. It's entirely possible that tactic is actually effective for this line. Kane does some similar things, and the line was been creating a lot. Which brings me to what I think is central to their success – Setoguchi has been creating a river of offence with the results barely trickling through. We've talked often about how the numbers were bound to come as the percentages evened out, and I think it's possible the Ranger game was partly a corrective in the results rather than a signifier of a successful process. We will see, I suppose.
Jets Defence
- Enstrom – Byfyuglien
- Clitsome - Trouba
- Stuart – Ellerby
- Pavelec
- Montoya
Young Trouba's reviews are only getting more positive as the season wears on. I think the simple truth is that he really only looked *bad* when paired with Stuart. With Bogosian, and thankfully with Clitsome, he looks like a very capable young defender.
He's still making mistakes, but he's a positive contributor on the whole.
I think the sad truth about this defence group is that there is a clear ability gap between Adam Pardy and Mark Stuart. Pardy has been a 7th and 8th man on poor clubs in the past (Calgary, Dallas), and that he can be said to be better than Stuart is damning to the Jets and their efforts to win games. We can hope that he's the one to come out when Bogosian comes back, but he is sinking Ellerby at the moment (as he did with Trouba and others), and has the coach's trust for reasons we may never understand.
Panthers Forwards
- Huberdeau - Bjugstad - Upshall
- Fleischmann - Goc - Kopecy
- Bergenheim - Barkov - Boyes
- Hayes - Matthias - Barch
This is a club that has already fired their coach and traded Kris Versteeg for essentially future assets (though both Dylan Olsen and Jimmy Hayes are on the roster). They've been rebuilding as long as the Thrashers, and Tallon's decision to re-tool through free agency a couple years ago is all but forgotten.
This forward group features four prospects, more than any NHL roster likely should. This cautionary tale has 7 wins in 28 games, and isn't at the bottom of their Division thanks to another prospect squad in Buffalo.
Scottie Upshall leads this group in scoring with 15 points, thanks to a streak of 10 in 10. That should be embarassing to the rest of the team and the State of Florida.
Brad "Trade Bait" Boyes has 13 points so far. Sadly, he won't be waived and the Jets haven't figured out how to fix the phone in Kevin Cheveldayoff's office, so he will go to a competitor at the deadline no doubt.
It's undisciplined group in terms of defence, and they have a pathetic 3.25 goals against per game average. The Jets have to avoid a run and gun style, however, and prove they can close out games against lesser teams through structure and control. You can move on to the next section when you're done laughing.
Panthers Defence
- Campbell - Gilbert
- Gudbranson - Olsen
- Kulikov - Weaver
- Thomas
- Clemmensen
Brian Campbell continues to be the best player on a terrible team. He's tied for the team lead in points. His partner Tom Gilbert leads the team in plus/minus at +2. For context, Kulikov was a recent healthy scratch after dropping to a team worst -13 in the same stat on the same team.
Tim Thomas came back from the Olympics, which means we should all have a good laugh when he quits in the New Year. His 2.96/.904% is unlikely to get him an invite. Plus, the chance that he joins a Russian militia during the Games is reportedly a determing factory.
The Jets should win this game going away, but the on-ice process during this road trip leaves a lot to be desired. The Panthers can score, and Thomas can steal games, so the Jets need to play the game in the Panthers' end with control and show a winning instinct from start to finish. If they let Florida hang around too long, they risk an upset. As usual, a lot of the game depends on the Jets' first period. They've been escaping that first 20 on the back of goaltending and luck. At some point they'll have to show up for a 1st period if they want to win.
I like the stupid Guardian Project.....I had the calendar hanging in my office and everything.....
The concern about Timmy T and the Olympics is that he might storm the Kremlin. Without his moustache. I bet Timmy likes the Guardian Project.

So So
Of course there also other possibilities. The mentioned Uncle of Kukaku's and Ganju's that would be unhappy with sending Ichigo to the Royal Palace doesn't necessary have to be a member, or bear the name of the Shiba clan. It might not even be a relative of the Shiba's but perhaps an uncle-like-figure.
Still, for that "Uncle" to be displeased with sending Ichigo to the Royal Palace, it certainly limits the possibilities.
BTW. I was rereading some chapters and I think that I realized how the Zansmith rebuilds Zanpakutou. The thing with Asauchi attacking Ichigo and Renji wasn't a test, but a procedure in order to rebuilt it. You can notice that after Renji completed his training, all that was lying around him were Black Asauchi:
Yes, they turned from the Clean White Ones, into Black Specialized Ones. Basically the procedure to create your own Zanpakutou is by training and pouring your power into a clean Asauchi, this is exactly what this training was about. Thanks to completely turning them black, which means turning them into your own Zanpakutou, the Zansmith have the material, type and power within them, the only thing remaining is to remodel them all into one Sword (that's probably why the new sword is better) using the supreme reijutsu that they have within the palace.
The reason why Ichigo failed, is likely because after 3 days and night, not even one started turning black, not even one aided/deemed him worthy. That's why it was pointless to continue the training the way he were.
It's also worth noting that Urahara's special doll for Bankai training works only for 3 days and quite likely works very similar to what was presented within this training. As it is with all of Urahara's mayor inventions that are based on things created by members of the Zero Division. I wonder then what is the H-cube then, is it something based of SK, a member of the Royal Guard, or a combination of it all ?
It's also worth noting that the next two palace will likely teach about Kidou (The Black Haired Women, those arms-hands might actually be something that allows her to throw multiple spells at the same time) and Hand-to-Hand Combat (The Monk, it was even suggested that he doesn't use a Zanpakutou), since together with Zanpakutou training, they all come together as Shinigami's Power (mentioned once by Aizen somewhere).

The great American painter Jackson Pollock was born in 1912, as was the second- generation Abstract Expressionist Morris Louis. To mark these anniversaries, the National Gallery of Australia showcases its holdings of important paintings, drawings and prints. The collection is significant in national and world terms, and a symposium is planned to accompany the display.
Abstract Expressionist art is vibrant and still surprising, even after a century dominated by the genius of Matisse and Picasso. Without Abstract Expressionism modern art and contemporary painting would be very different. The National Gallery s strong holdings of Pollock, Louis and their contemporaries, and other painters associated with Colour Field painting and the New York School, will also feature. Most works were acquired in the 1970s, before the National Gallery opened, and several recent acquisitions build on the strengths of this early collecting.
Pollock s Blue poles, one of his most famous paintings, and the earlier Totem lesson 2 accompany six drawings and six etchings by him, rarely on public view. Paintings and works on paper by Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, Arshile Gorky and Lee Krasner will also be on display, along with three paintings by Louis and an early work by Helen Frankenthaler-in commemoration of her death in December 2011. Key works by Philip Guston, Hans Hofmann, Robert Motherwell and Clyfford Still elucidate the dynamic connections between artists.
The impact of these influential and unique painters stretched far and wide. Extraordinary Australians such as Tony Tuckson and Peter Upward show how these artists developed in related and complementary ways. Over four galleries, this festival of Abstract Expressionism offers a fascinating journey through the National Gallery s holdings, as well as a rare opportunity to experience the quality and depth of the collection.

Mathematical Charts and TablesConversion Tables
Conversion Tables
As has been suggested already, instructive mathematical charts introduced unfamiliar units of measure. A number of handy tables also were produced to assist in conversions. Perhaps the earliest such chart in the collections dates from about 1814, and is designed to convert from units divisible by twelfths to decimal units. The size of conversion factor and the way the numbers are written suggest that it was made to convert from Massachusetts pounds and shillings to U.S. currency. By the mid-20th century, the dollar prevailed throughout the United States, and Americans were more concerned with understanding foreign currencies when they traveled abroad. Toward that end, some purchased a slide chart called the UNICON, which allowed them to convert between dollars and numerous foreign currencies when they knew the exchange rate.
Engineers have long needed to perform conversions as part of their work. In the first half of the 20th century, manufacturers sometimes distributed small advertising cards that listed decimal equivalents of parts of an inch. Larger tables might list a large number of useful conversion factors. New efforts to introduce metric weights and measures in the United States in the 1970s led to the distribution of a range of cards and slide charts that eased conversions. These were distributed by organizations ranging from the federal government to a manufacturer of outdoor clothing and camping supplies to a producer of food emulsifiers and flavorings.

Wind Chill Calculator, a Slide Chart
- Description
- In the 1970s, after metric units of measure had been adopted in Canada and Great Britain, some people in the United States advocated adoption of the metric system. Holubar Mountaineering Ltd. of Boulder, Colorado, a manufacturer of outdoor clothing and camping supplies, distributed this cardboard slide chart. One side has a wind chill calculator. This had twelve columns of numbers with an actual temperature (given in both degrees Fahrenheit and degrees Celsius), at the head of each column. Figures in the column then gave the equivalent wind chill temperature for wind speeds in miles per hour (with the Fahrenheit scale) and in kilometers per hour (with the Celsius scale). Cold dangerous to health is indicated in shades of blue.
- The reverse side of the chart has columns for converting from metric to English measures of length, mass, volume, and area. A number line has Fahrenheit temperatures on the top and Celsius temperatures on the bottom.
- A mark on the sliding piece reads: GRAPHIC CALCULATOR CO., Barrington, Illinois 60010 Made in U.S.A. 12-76 -2349.

Comments: good tube bait, use it both in fresh and saltwater and rig it weedless. Matt, try using a g-lock style hook and run it all the way thru the tube then skin hook it. Works great, don't miss many fish and stays weedless.
From: William: Long Beach Ca, USA
Comments: I get bites on this tube but it's too stiff to get a decent hook set. I texas rig it and have yet to land a fish on this bait. Plenty of hits on it though.
From: Matt: Calmar, IA
Comments: One of my favorite tubes. When everything else is failing, I can always get some hits off these tubes. I am not going to say it is my favorite tube, but I always have these in my tackle box.

Patriots 2012 roster
The New England Patriots have settled on their 53-man roster—for now. With an eye on each position group, here's who remains after Friday's roster reduction. Next
Quarterbacks
So far, the Patriots are only keeping two quarterbacks on their roster: Tom Brady and Ryan Mallett. Next
Running backs
The Patriots managed to keep more than their three core running backs while putting Olympic sprinter Jeff Demps on injured reserve. Remaining: Stevan Ridley, Shane Vereen, Danny Woodhead, and Brandon Bolden (pictured). Next
Wide receivers
After cutting veteran Deion Branch, the Patriots traded for receiver Greg Salas sending a 2015 draft pick to the St. Louis Rams. He joins Wes Welker, Brandon Lloyd, Julian Edelman (pictured), and Matthew Slater on the roster. Next
Tight ends
The Patriots cut two tight ends, leaving room for four on the roster, including: Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez, Daniel Fells, and Visanthe Shiancoe. Next
Offensive linemen
The Patriots offensive line returns only two starters from February's Super Bowl. The full roster of offensive linemen include: Nate Solder, Logan Mankins (pictured), Dan Connolly, Ryan Wendel, Marcus Cannon, Sebastian Vollmer, Donald Thomas, Nick McDonald, and waiver-wire pickup Matt Tennant. Next
Defensive linemen
The Patriots defensive linemen is the deepest position group on the roster, with 11 players on the active roster. That includes: Vince Wilfork, Kyle Love, Rob Ninkovich, Chandler Jones, Brandon Deaderick, Ron Brace, Justin Francis, Jake Bequette, Marcus Forston, Trevor Scott, and Jermaine Cunningham. Next
Linebackers
With Bobby Carpenter gone, this is the team's thinnest group outside of its two quarterbacks. Jerod Mayo (pictured) joins Brandon Spikes, Dont'a Hightower, Mike Rivera, and Tracy White on the roster. Next
Safeties
Outside of Patrick Chung (pictured), this is a whole new group. Chung is joined on the 2012 roster with Steve Gregory, Tavon Wilson, and Nate Ebner. Next
Cornerbacks
Devin McCourty (pictured) will lead a group of cornerbacks that largely remain the same after last season. He's joined by Kyle Arrington, Sterling Moore, Ras-I Dowling, Marquice Cole, and Alfonzo Dennard. Next
Special teams
The Patriots will feature the same group as last year, with Stephen Gostkowski kicking, Zoltan Mesko puntin, and Danny Aiken snapping. Back to the beginning

Office Appropriate
"These are great shoes for an office environment. Classy and comfortable. I am a 6/6.5, and typically a 6.5 in SM flats. These were no exception. As with all my flats (every single pair, no matter the brand) I have to put a small bandaid on my heel when I wear them because they rub. With the bandaid they are great. I love that they are real leather and a true black color, not a greyish black that some shoes advertised as black are."

Baking potatoes have low moisture and high starch content. Known as russets or Idaho potatoes, they are characterized by their long, slightly rounded shape and rough brown skin.
A serving of this soup provides a good source of fiber.
Pick up a loaf of focaccia and warm it to serve with this chunky soup. For an easy dessert, warm apple pie filling and serve it over ice cream with a drizzle of caramel ice cream topping.
