The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is currently considering the addition of 11 Frank Lloyd Wright–designed buildings as a single World Heritage Site. In 2008, the U.S. Department of Interior submitted the nomination of the buildings, citing that the selected designs "span almost sixty years of his efforts to create an 'organic architecture' that integrates buildings with nature and dramatically melds form with space. All aspects of design, from siting to furnishings, reinforce this concept. … The properties proposed have been acclaimed as masterworks by architects, scholars, and critics, virtually from the time of construction."
The U.S. Department of Interior nomination goes on to state that Wright's work fits the criteria for World Heritage Status, because it "represents an outstanding creative contribution to both twentieth-century architecture and to architecture as a whole."
Here are the 11 nominated Wright designs:
Fallingwater, Mill Run, Pa.
This masterpiece is one of the greatest and most recognizable designs of Wright's career. Everybody knows it. Constructed over a waterfall between 1936 and 1939, this home is a timeless classic.
Frederick Robie Houseweaetxdyvaydzcwq, Chicago
Designed between 1908 and 1910, the Robie House is one of the best examples of the Prairie style, characterized by bold horizontal lines and low roofs. The house also features Wright's iconic art glass windows.
Guggenheim Museum, New York
The cylindrical building opened in 1959, months after Wright's death. He intended the Guggenheim to "make the building and the painting an uninterrupted, beautiful symphony such as never existed in the World of Art before."
Hollyhock House, Los Angeles
Wright's first project in L.A., this house embodies the architect's notion that design should respond to nature and its surroundings. Built between 1919 and 1921, Hollyhock House was the centerpiece of Wright's unbuilt master plan for a theater community.
Jacobs House, Madison, Wisc.
A private single-family home, designed and constructed by Wright in 1936 and 1937, this is one of the architect's first Usonian designs. This house was the model design for Wright's dream development, Broadacre City.
Marin County Civic Center, San Rafael, Calif.
The Marin County Board of Directors approved Wright's plan for this building in 1958, one year before his death. The architect completed conceptual drawings for all structures on the Civic Center campus, which was his last major project and his only design for a government building that was ever built.
Price Tower, Bartlesville, Okla.
Completed in 1956, this 19-story building is Wright's tallest built project—a skyscraper that the architect once called "the tree that escaped the crowded forest."
S.C. Johnson Administration Building and Research Tower, Racine, Wisc.
"Anybody can build a typical building. I wanted to build the best office building in the world, and the only way to do that was to get the greatest architect in the world," remarked S.C. Johnson & Son President H.F. Johnson Jr. The administrative building opened in 1939 and the research tower opened in 1950, and then reopened to the public in May 2014.
Taliesin, Spring Green, Wisc.
Taliesin was Wright's estate that spanned 600 acres. He designed the home for himself in 1911 and continuously changed the structure and surrounding landscape until his death in 1959.
Taliesin West, Scottsdale, Ariz.
Taliesin West was Wright's winter home, a retreat for his summer months in Wisconsin. The site also features the architect's studio, the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture, and the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.
Unity Temple, Oak Park, Ill.
This Unitarian Universalist church was built between 1905 and 1908. Wright, who was born into a Unitarian family, called it "my great contribution to modern architecture."

Let me preface by saying I'm new to Linux/Slackware/BT2 so take my ideas with a grain of salt... to my credit, I have read and read and read till my eye has bled and hopefully, I've picked up some info that might be of help.
You're running Vista, of which I'm unfamiliar, but I suspect it's on NTFS which is /dev/sba3 from the looks of things...
sba4 appears to be an "extended" partition so it's not a PRIMARY (only 4 primary are permitted on most drives as I understand it). and also appears it might be a FATxx partition based on the W95 info... unclear as to that.
The last 3 partitions makes it appear you're using one of the guides which suggests making a small "boot" (possibly 1-1.5 megs) for the /boot directory/files (sba5) with sba6 being a separate "SwapLinux" partition and sba7 being a larger and 2nd Linux partition for all the rest of the BT2 directories files.
If that is so, it seems your lilo.conf should point to sba3 for Windows booting
lilo.conf should point to sba5 if that is where you put the "boot" stuff (which is likely as per the guides I've read); otherwise, use your sba7 if that is where your BT2 "boot" stuff.
Your final 2 lilo file commands, after editing lilo.conf is
<CTL> w = write your lilo.conf file changes
lilo -v = writes the lilo to MBR which you appear to be doing correctly
reboot computer when done with 1 and 2 above
I'm still struggling on getting BT2 installed on my laptop and I initially tried with the 3 partitions; however, it appears to make life much easier to simply use 1 Linux partition for all the files/data and 1 LINUXSWAP partition.
BTW, I am writing this post on my laptop using Firefox off the BT2 Live CD loaded into memory (because I can't get the darned thing installed on my HDD as yet) and can surf around the net fine... just so you don't get too discouraged, I blizted my XP MBR 3 times now where my computer wouldn't boot at all--either to XP or BT2; however, a nifty free net d/l got my MBR repaired easily and swiftly... and I've followed the WiKi guide, parrot's guide, the "transcript" guide, the Wiki movie, the BT INSTALLER program (both) from within the GUI and several others having tried BT2 HDD install 8 times now unsuccessfully... most of my hang ups seems to be down in getting the lilo.conf to successfully write to my MBR which I get errors of conflicting partition table info or else the guides differ and I just haven't found 1 complete, step-by-step, that'll get me running from my HDD...
Do hang in there; folks here are most knowledgeable and the SEARCH button is your friend...
If the guru's find an error above, please let me know and correct it... i'm a "noob" to Linux, but learning as fast as I can and am a Mod and a Super Mod in some sat forums so I'm pretty aware of how/what to post.. and I'll ask my questions in a separate thread...
Good luck, jimmyb!

I thought I would give this a shot. My life long hunting buddies have fallen victim to the economic issues of present and despite offers of assistance pride keeps them from accepting. I have even sold my own boat because I had no one to make the long week trips to the bay with after the last two years. I spent the weekend talking to guys at boat launches and looking for a pot hole to wade or canoe and this it is less then safe to go it alone. Unless is it 78 degrees the rest of the year!
I am looking for someone or a group to hunt with. Refuge trips and pot holes would be great until I purchase a new rig (smaller boat this time) this winter. I live in the Fenton area and I have deeks and I am about as laid back as they come. I have access to some great goose (field) spots in Genesee/Livingston County and would like to share those early and late season.
Thanks guys.

Body of Conn. shooter's mother may be claimed by NH funeral home
The New Haven (Conn.) Register reported that Nancy Lanza's body would be claimed by a funeral home in New Hampshire. The paper quoted Connecticut's Chief State Medical Examiner H. Wayne Carver as saying that an out-of-state funeral home wants to claim the body "discreetly."
He said he didn't know the name of the funeral home.
Representatives from Brookside Chapel and Funeral Home in Plaistow and Brewitt Funeral Home in Epping, Exeter, and Raymond, told the New Hampshire Union Leader that their facilities haven't been contacted by Lanza's family.
According to the New Haven Register, Carver wrote in an email, "The police in New Hampshire are already trying to control an ever-expanding cohort from the fourth estate."
It's not known whether the same funeral home would also claim the body of her 20-year-old son, Adam Lanza, the man accused of murdering 20 young children and six adults before turning the gun on himself in a shooting massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., last Friday.
Nancy Lanza, 54, was the first of her son's victims. She was shot and killed at their Newtown home before he drove to the elementary school, authorities have said.
Lanza, whose maiden name was Champion, grew up in Kingston and was the sister of Kingston police Officer James Champion. Her mother and other siblings and family members have gathered at Champion's Kingston home in the days since the shooting.
Carver, the Connecticut medical examiner, did not respond to an email from the New Hampshire Union Leader seeking confirmation of the report concerning plans for Lanza's body. When the paper contacted his office, a representative said the office wasn't allowed to discuss funeral arrangements and could only comment on the cause and manner of death.
Kingston Police Chief Donald Briggs Jr., who knew Lanza and has been in contact with her family, said he has not been made aware of any funeral arrangements.

Beck and Horowitz falsely claim Dems are implementing mammogram recommendations as part of "a rationing system"
On Fox News' Glenn Beck, both Glenn Beck and conservative author David Horowitz falsely claimed that Democrats are responsible for recent United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendations that fewer women under 50 receive regular mammograms, citing them as proof that Democrats are, in Horowitz's words, "imposing a rationing system." In fact, these guidelines were promulgated by an independent panel of medical professionals -- all of whom were reportedly seated or selected during the Bush administration -- whose recommendations are not legally binding and about which President Obama's Health and Human Services Secretary said: "They do not set federal policy and they don't determine what services are covered by the federal government."
Beck and Horowitz falsely attribute mammography guidelines to Democrats, cite them as evidence of "rationing" agenda
From the November 23 edition of Fox News' Glenn Beck:
HOROWITZ: The Democrats pretend to care about women, children, minorities and the poor, but, in fact, they don't.
BECK: A great example of that, wouldn't be, inverting the myth, wouldn't that be the mammogram thing? I mean, the insurance companies are saying, "we're still going to cover that," but the Democrats, now the government, is now saying, "no, we don't need to cover the mammogram thing."
HOROWITZ: Right. Women are a vulnerable group. The Democrats are operating by the numbers. Everything you are saying is correct. I mean, they are imposing a rationing system. Their drive is to get a single-payer system, which means the government will make the decisions for you, and they already let out of the bag the fact that some women are not going to get mammograms and that means they're going to die needlessly, and the government is going to make that decision.
BECK: So what do you do to get that out? Because honestly,
HOROWITZ: It's very simple. Let's have a die-in. Let's do what the left did with the AIDS epidemic in the '80s. Let's get the tea party women out there at all the mammogram centers, let them have die-ins so that the whole population understands. It is very difficult to get information out in our culture. We live in -- it is just vast. People have no idea--
BECK: Wait-I don't even remember, the die-in is everybody just would go into offices and they would just lay down on the floor and then they'd have to drag you out.
HOROWITZ: Right and then they'd accuse Reagan of killing them, of course, but in this case it's the Democratic Party that's killing them.
In fact, guidelines were promulgated by an independent task force reportedly chosen by or seated under Bush
Report explicitly states recommendations "are independent of the U.S. government." A "Disclaimer" included with the USPSTF mammography recommendations [1] stated: "Recommendations made by the USPSTF are independent of the U.S. government. They should not be construed as an official position of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services."
Wash. Post: Chairman states all task force members were seated under or chosen by Bush. From a November 18 [2] Washington Post article:
Ned Calonge, who chairs the 16-member panel, defended the recommendations and denied that cost or the debate over health-care reform played any role in the decision. "Cost just isn't a consideration when the task force deliberates," said Calonge, who is also the chief medical officer for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Twelve of the task force members were seated during the Bush administration, and the remaining four were chosen before President George W. Bush left office, he said. [emphasis added]
Obama's HHS Secretary made clear task force recommendations "do not set federal policy"
Sebelius: Recommendations are from "an outside independent panel," "do not set federal policy." From HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius's November 18 [3] press release:
"There is no question that the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Recommendations have caused a great deal of confusion and worry among women and their families across this country. I want to address that confusion head on. The U.S. Preventive Task Force is an outside independent panel of doctors and scientists who make recommendations. They do not set federal policy and they don't determine what services are covered by the federal government
"There has been debate in this country for years about the age at which routine screening mammograms should begin, and how often they should be given. The Task Force has presented some new evidence for consideration but our policies remain unchanged. Indeed, I would be very surprised if any private insurance company changed its mammography coverage decisions as a result of this action.
"What is clear is that there is a great need for more evidence, more research and more scientific innovation to help women prevent, detect, and fight breast cancer, the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women.
"My message to women is simple. Mammograms have always been an important life-saving tool in the fight against breast cancer and they still are today. Keep doing what you have been doing for years -- talk to your doctor about your individual history, ask questions, and make the decision that is right for you." [emphasis added]
Rationing claim undermined: recommendations are not legally binding
Task force recommendations not legally binding. Contrary to Beck and Horowitz's claims that, in Horowitz's words, Democrats "are imposing a rationing system" in part through these guidelines, the task force's recommendations are not legally binding [4]. Moreover, the task force encouraged [5] policymakers to include additional considerations and "individualize decision making to the specific patient or situation."
NBC's Snyderman: "It's important to remember that these new recommendations from this independent task force are just that -- they're recommendations." In a Nightly News report on the task force recommendations, NBC chief medical correspondent Dr. Nancy Snyderman stated, "It's important to remember that these new recommendations from this independent task force are just that -- they're recommendations. They don't mandate any changes in who should get mammograms and when." [NBC's Nightly News with Brian Williams, 11/17/09 [6]]
Task force previously recommended against certain preventive cancer screenings under Bush, undermining efforts to connect guidelines, "rationing" charge to Democrats. For example, in 2004 the task force recommended against [7] screening for ovarian cancer, routine screening [8] for testicular cancer in "asymptomatic adolescent and adult males," and routine bladder cancer [9] screening in adults; in 2005, it recommended against [10] routine screening for peripheral arterial disease; in 2006, it recommended against [11] routine genetic screening of the asymptomatic general population for hereditary hemochromatosis; and in 2007, it recommended against [12] screening the general adult population for asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis.
Democrats' health bills do not require insurers to adopt such recommendations against preventive services
Senate bill does not require insurers to adopt USPSTF recommendations against preventive screenings, only those in favor of specific preventive screenings. The Senate health care reform bill, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act [13], requires insurance companies to cover screenings that the USPSTF rates as A or B recommendations [14]. It does not require insurers to adopt guidelines that recommend against preventive screenings:
''(a) IN GENERAL. -- A group health plan and a health insurance issuer offering group or individual health insurance coverage shall provide coverage for and shall not impose any cost sharing requirements for --
''(1) evidence-based items or services that have in effect a rating of 'A' or 'B' in the current recommendations of the United States Preventive Services Task Force;
House bill requires insurers to adopt task force recommendations in favor of specific coverage, but not those against coverage. Similarly, the House health care reform bill, the Affordable Health Care for America Act, requires [15] insurance companies to cover the A or B recommendations of a new task force, the "Task Force on Community Preventive Services [16]," but does not require that lower-rated recommendations against preventive services be denied:
''(c) INCLUSION IN ESSENTIAL BENEFITS PACKAGE. -- If, on the basis of the findings of research and demonstration projects under subsection (a) or other sources consistent with section 3131, the Task Force on Clinical Preventive Services determines that a subsidy or reward meets the Task Force's standards for a grade A or B, the Secretary shall ensure that the subsidy or reward is included in the essential benefits package under section 222.

AMES, Iowa — Iowa State University agronomy professor Matt Liebman will discuss agricultural stability during the Iowa Learning Farms' webinar Wednesday, Sept. 19, at 11:30 a.m. The webinar is part of a free series, hosted by ILF, held on the third Wednesday of each month, through Adobe Connect. All that is needed to participate is a computer with Internet access.
Liebman will be sharing his presentation that he initially gave at the 2012 Iowa Water Conference entitled "Keys to Agricultural Sustainability and Resilience: A Scientist's Perspective." Agriculture in the U.S. Corn Belt is under increasing pressure to produce greater quantities of food and fuel while better protecting environmental quality. Key environmental problems in this region include water contamination by nutrients and herbicides emitted from cropland, a lack of non-agricultural habitat to support diverse communities of plants and animals, and high dependence on petrochemical energy. Additionally, projected changes in climate, which include an increasing frequency of floods and droughts, could make soil and water conservation more difficult. Two projects that address these challenges in central Iowa will be discussed: the Marsden Farm rotation experiment, and the Science-based Trials of Row-crops Integrated with Prairies (STRIPs) experiment.
Matt Liebman is a professor of agronomy and the Henry A. Wallace Endowed Chair for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University. He also is a fellow of the American Society of Agronomy. He received a B.A. in biological sciences from Harvard University and a Ph.D. in botany from the University of California-Berkeley. His research, teaching and outreach activities focus on ways to use ecological processes to maintain or increase agricultural production while reducing dependence on agrichemicals and fossil fuels. More information about his activities and responsibilities can be found at http://www.wallacechair.iastate.edu.
To connect to the webinar, go to: https://connect.extension.iastate.edu/ilf/. Liebman will be able to answer questions from webinar "attendees" via the Adobe Connect chat box. The ILF website contains links for archived webinars from previous months: http://www.extension.iastate.edu/ilf/Webinars/.
Iowa Learning Farms is a partnership of the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, Iowa Natural Resources Conservation Service and Iowa Department of Natural Resources (USEPA section 319); in cooperation with Conservation Districts of Iowa, the Iowa Farm Bureau and the Iowa Water Center.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|JakodaCD OA
My first one they tried infusing the glands, didn't work, but I do hope it does for yours.
And yes, Colie, glad your vet 'thinks' that way, most now, feel treating is better than removing. From what I've seen/experienced, dogs that end up with PF's if they are 'true PF disease, usually have other issues, allergies, ibd, sibo, epi etc...The ones that get PF's as a result of anal gland issues are much easier to treat, either topically or removal because it's a 'gland' issue without no underlying issues.. Both of mine had gland issues so I never considered them to have 'true' PF disease..Pf's were the result of those bad glands.
The late Barker the Elder had her anal glands expressed often - until I brought it to the vet's attention. He then injected her glands with antibiotic. One injection did it. She never needed help expressing them again.
May your experience be as, oh, rewarding...
|Colie CVT
|Oh! To add too, when I got the biopsy report back on Myles's anal glands, there was actually something that said that dogs with atopic dermatitis often have inflammation in their glands. So there is a component to it with allergies, though it may not just be food ones either. Myles has environmental allergies rather than food, like my female shepherd does. Just a little something to add in!
|Colie CVT
Personally, I am of the club of, if it is that bad of an infection, then may as well just have them removed. I find it interesting that they have to sedate him in order to infuse the anal glands. We very often infuse them with medication with the patient awake and standing on the table. It isn't super hard to do as long as the patient at least sits mostly still lol. I tried infusing my golden's twice before I said, well that didn't work, take em out!
Thankfully I would with a board certified surgeon who had a dog with anal gland issues before and his response when I asked him about it, was take them out. The other surgeon said to try infusing. His response was that the second surgeon had never lived with a dog who needed them expressed regularly, otherwise he'd feel different lol.
I am surprised that they're jumping to a biopsy so quick on the skin. There's different things that could be tried before that. Different shampoos, medications, even maybe something different with food. Checking what you clean the area your dog has been laying in. Things like that. o.o If they were firm masses, that's one thing but little bumps that could simply be a kind of hive? I dunno myself.
My vet has a theory that the anal gland problems (and licking) in GSDs often have food allergy component. He also thinks fistulas may have an allergy component early on too. The allergic reaction in the GI system may have a domino effect leading eventually to the gland problems.
We shifted to a Limited Ingredient Diet (on our second 10-week trial), and it's definitely better, but not solved. Canned pumpkin added has also helped (about a T. per meal)--extra fiber to help the glands clear.
We may at some point try the hydrolized protein RX diet...but we're not there yet. We have at least one more protein rotation to try.

Yes, have had two gsd's with anal gland issues. The first one sounds like yours, kept treating infection which wouldn't go away. Finally the glands were removed surgically because the infection cause perianal fistula's. With that, my advice is, if the infection can't be cleared up completely, I would highly consider removing the glands (by a board certified surgeon who is experienced in this area).
I hope your vet shaved up the area as well, and advised you to keep it clean.
No idea what the bumps could be, hope they can figure that out. Hope he feels better, anal gland issues can be quite uncomfortable as well as painful
Anal Gland Expression
So today we brought Brutus in due to a problem with anal leakage. The vet expressed his gland. She came in to tell us shortly that the gland had been so infected that blood was rushing in to the gland to help fight off infections. He was put on Clavomax and an anti inflammatory. We are hoping that the infection will be gone by next week. The doctor told us if the infection isn't gone or better by the time we go in next week they would have to sedate him and flush it out with antibiotics. Has anyone else had to go through this before ? I am nervous that the infection won't go away and he will have to be sedated.
--- We also noticed some bumps on his chest. The vet shaved his chest where they were but couldn't tell if they were bug bites or something else. Sunday he started off with 2 now there is 3 of them. She scraped the scab part off of them and they look like bumps the size of a a pencil eraser. She told us if those weren't healed and gone by next week we would have to do a Biopsy. I am a nervous wreck. HELP PLEASE.

Tips for Working With the School
Put yourself in the shoes of others. While our allergic children have a right to a safe environment, avoid having an overblown sense of entitlement. Parents often make the mistake of demanding accommodations that are unrealistic or impractical for the school community.
School policy development is a process of negotiation, so try to bear in mind the other side: principals and teachers are faced with cutbacks in funding, a greater number of children with special needs, and more demands from the wider school community.
Managing anaphylaxis is important and they want to do the right thing, but this is one of many challenges. Most educators entered the profession because they like and care about children. They are there to help. Be respectful of that, and you'll get better results.
Provide "need-to-have" information; avoid the temptation to "tell all". While minute details of your child's worst reaction may have the effect of getting others to take anaphylaxis seriously, they can also lead to a debilitating level of fear.
Other adults (babysitters, parents of your child's friends, teachers) may not want to take care of your child as they worry that they cannot possibly protect him or her.
Don't try to reinvent the wheel. If your child's school needs an anphylaxis plan, don't start toiling away. There are now great sample school plans and forms at www.allergysafecommunities.ca, the companion website for the national guidelines, Anaphylaxis in Schools and Other Settings and Anaphylaxis Canada's website,www.anaphylaxis.ca.
Say "thank you". These two simple words can go a long way to getting others on board. The majority of teachers and other families don't live with severe allergies. But out of respect for our children, they comply with school food policies almost 200 days of the year.
As awareness increases, these people often support our kids at camps, community centres, and on sports teams. We owe them our thanks.

Utah-BYU Football Rivalry Appears Back on Track
The Utes and Cougars will meet in Provo, this September. But after that, there was fear it might be years -- or decades -- before the University of Utah and Bigham Young University football teams would clash again.
But now it appears, not only will the rivalry game be back -- but it may return to its traditional, Thanksgiving weekend perch.
After a 2-year hiatus, the game will resume, again in September, in 2016 and 2017. Then the 2018 game is tenatively scheduled for the end of the regular season.
The PAC-12 will have to endorse the plan.


text: buddah, that's not even a remotely fair comparison. most of those guys were lottery picks and handed time on terrible teams. amir was passed up FIFTY-FIVE times before he was picked, and if the pistons hadn't taken him he may not have even been drafted. look, i want to see amir play as much as the next guy, and i think he should be getting some minutes since we're also developing stuckey and afflalo, but i'm not going to put so much blind faith in his abilities and exaggerate about how his career is being 'ruined.'

"Too late for Christmas cards this, year, so we went with a "happy new year" theme and this was a great choice. Cheered it up a bit by changing the main greeting from blue to yellow. Photo reproduction on the printed version faithfully matched the online version. Nice work, Tiny Prints!"
"These cards turned out GREAT! Love the design...we used it for a Christmas/pregnancy announcement by putting an ultrasound picture in the small box. PERFECT design for that!"
"As a family with 4 different last names, being able to customize the bottom text was awesome. Everything including the picture quality was exactly as the preview depicted. The paper was nice and thick, and looked great. Since we dropped the ball on the traditional holiday card, we chose this card as we ended up sending it out at the end of January (oops!). We also utilized the option for Tiny Prints to send the cards for us by uploading our addresses and it was so easy and perfect! Definitely a massive time saver!!"

Rollator Shopping in Three Easy Steps
Shop Our Selection of Rollators Here!
Everything can be done in three easy steps. Shopping for the most efficient rollator is no exception.
1. Focus on functionality
A Rollator's level of functionality is correlated to your height and weight. Using a rollator which is not proportionate to your physique considerably diminishes the equipment's usability, and at times, can even lead to discomfort.
There are three major types of rollators in relation to a user's height: petite (5'2' and below), medium (5'3" to 5'11"), and tall (5'11" to 6'4").
Rollators' weight capacities vary between 275 and 400 lbs. This is determined by the materials and mechanisms incorporated into the equipment. Aluminum frames are best for those who weigh less than 200lbs, whereas, steel frame variants are tailored fit for those who require a heavy-duty design.
Another functionality determinant is the handle mechanism. The best ones are easily adjustable and should complement your height: Your elbows should bend between 20 to 30 degrees when you stand behind the rollator and grip the handles.
2. Aim for adaptability
Suppose you have suffered from a recent stroke attack, or currently bear the symptoms of arthritis, it is best to shop for a rollator with utmost adaptability in relation to your condition. Things to look for include frame construction that should encourage sufficient balance and good posture, easily adjusted forearm support and handgrip, and convenient hand brakes.
3. Rely on reliability
Stability is crucial for individuals in need of rollators. It is imperative that while using this device, you feel ample relief and security. A reliable rollator should be sturdy enough to support your weight while facilitating utmost and trouble-free mobility.
Moving on…
Now that we have cited the three general steps in finding the most appropriate rollator, let us move forward to other details.
- • Rollator wheels come in either a 6 or 8 inch design. Six-inch wheels are best for petite users or those who normally use the equipment indoors and on a flat surface. Eight-inch wheels are suited to those who spend a lot of time outdoors.
- • Rollators have either a three or four-wheel mechanism. Three-wheel designs score high in maneuverability especially in cramped spaces or corners. Four-wheel variants are known for their sturdiness and ease of mobility. Most 3 wheel rollators do not have a seat while all 4 wheel rollators do.
- • There are three main types of wheel-brakes. Pressure brakes, the least common of the 3, require users to exert enough weight onto the frame in order for the brakes to respond. Cable brakes are similar to the brake mechanism found in bicycles, and can either be one or two-handed. Reverse brakes has a default locked-brake system which users can unlock by squeezing a handle.
- • Some rollators come with a padded or unpadded seat which varies in size. Standard adult users can opt for a 13" to 18" wide seat. There are heavy duty variants and specialized Bariatric seats which are at least 22" in width.
Fun and Straightforward Facts
• Walker with wheels is an idea that originated in Scandinavia.
• Swede Aina Wifalk invented the rollator back in 1978.
• Rollator, which is now a generic term, was once a brand name.
• Zimmers is the English equivalent of rollators.
• Back in 2007, a group of English elderly citizens formed a rock group called The Zimmers.

Despite its defeat, the Cooper-LaTourette plan's appearance on the House floor should be viewed as a beginning rather than an ending. True fiscal reform must come eventually, and it will require bipartisan compromise. Quigley, Lipinski, Dold, Johnson and Shimkus deserve great credit for trying to get Washington moving in the right direction.

This unique and extremely fun boat is among the few fast sailboats thats both easy to sail and comfortable. Larus Roc is arguably one of the fastest sailboats in the USA. Think of her as an endless water park ride, sailing comfortably and in control at 25 knots. Shes also a light air machine, generating boat speed of 2.6 times true wind speed in 5 knots of beam breeze. Larus Roc has shown herself to be a formidable racing machine, but shes also quite comfortable for cruising with her 4 bunks, galley and head.
Larus Roc was originally named Paragon and is the second (MKII) version of this Adrian Thompson design. She was built in 1991 in Bristol, UK using foam core, Kevlar hybrid cloth and carbon. The mast is carbon.
Larus Roc was built for transatlantic races, and as such is much stronger than the modern ORMA designs. She has participated in some 10 transatlantic races during her career. In the 2004/2005 racing season, she finished first on elapsed time in 7 of 9 races entered, including the Heineken St Maarten Around Island, Marion-Bermuda, Marblehead-Halifax, and Around Long Island races.
For the Bermuda race, Larus Roc had to be rated as a cruiser. In consequence the galley was updated including a two burner LPG stove and a new stainless steel sink with electric and manual pumps. A hand held shower and a head with holding tank was also added. To facilitate short-handed sailing, a large Harken electric winch was added for raising the mainsail, hauling the anchor and trimming the mainsheet.
Larus Roc has been maintained, repaired, and managed by a professional boat manager. A recent survey is available. She was completely overhauled in 2001 by Francis Joyon of around the world solo sailing record fame and was set up for solo sailing. She was damaged when she broke loose from a mooring and was bought in a state of disrepair by the current owner in August, 2004. Larus Roc underwent major repairs and a refit in preparation for sponsored racing and cruising during the 2004 and 2005 racing seasons. In 2006, she was used for island hopping from St Maarten down to the Windward islands and back and was sailed comfortably by two sailors. In April 2006 the mast came down (but did not break) in light winds due to metal fatigue in a turnbuckle. A major refit was undertaken in May-June 2007 including new standing and running rigging, new jib furler, new jib, new staysail, new mainsail, and an engine overhaul.
The owner of Larus Roc has now completed the races and cruises he wished to do. His location in Ohio and constraints on his time no longer allow for full enjoyment of this great boat, and he has reluctantly decided to sell her.
I personally inspected Larus Roc just after her successful passage from St. Maarten to Rhode Island and found her in excellent order. Her owner has obviously taken pride in her outfitting and maintenance. His desire is that Larus Roc is sold to a sailor who appreciates her sailing abilities as much as he does and will ensure that this bird continues to fly. Shes available at a very attractive price for a quick sale.

Assorted notes from the GM meetings
INDIAN WELLS, Calif. — Assorted notes from the baseball general managers' meetings:
• I already can hear the New York Mets' spin on right-hander R.A. Dickey now — the tried and true "Greedy Ballplayer" theory.
Dickey, the Mets will say, wanted too much in a contract extension, so the team traded him rather than get suckered into a bad deal.
Such a portrayal simply would not be accurate.
The Mets, sources say, have shown little actual interest in negotiating with Dickey, who is under contract for next season at $5 million.
Instead, they're discussing him in trades at the GM meetings. If they get the right deal, they will just move on.
Trading Dickey, 38, probably is the right thing for the Mets to do, considering all of their holes. But the Mets intend to pin this on Dickey, they first need to make him a substantial offer.
That, sources say, has not happened.
• The Yankees are out of the Justin Upton sweepstakes, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post. Even if they wanted to be "in," they would lack the necessary talent to entice the Diamondbacks in a trade.
Several rival executives view the Texas Rangers and Tampa Bay Rays as the teams most interested in Upton, but the Rays would need free-agent center fielder B.J. Upton to reject their qualifying offer before they make any move — they could not afford the salaries of both Uptons. B.J., though, is attracting strong interest, and almost certainly will reject the Rays' offer by Friday's deadline.
One executive suggests the Detroit Tigers as a possible darkhorse for Justin Upton. The Diamondbacks want a shortstop or a third baseman, and the Tigers could offer third-base prospect Nick Castellanos and a combination of other players, including right fielder Avisail Garcia and pitchers Rick Porcello and Drew Smyly.
I am not suggesting that the Tigers would trade any or all of those players for Justin Upton; it's just one exec's speculation. But the Tigers at least have the players to make such a deal happen, and Dave Dombrowski is one of the game's boldest, most aggressive GMs.
The Atlanta Braves, by the way, do not appear serious about a pursuit of Justin Upton.
• The Red Sox are disinclined to trade Jacoby Ellsbury for two reasons: His value is down, and the team is intent on contending next season under new manager John Farrell.
Ellsbury figures to be highly motivated in his free-agent year, and the Red Sox recognize that they probably cannot trade him and become a better team.
Jackie Bradley Jr., the Red Sox's center fielder of the future, is ready for the majors defensively but not offensively. Some club officials believe that he might be best served by a full year in the minors.
Boston's Ben Cherington is one of those GMs who will listen on any player, but the chances of the Sox moving Ellbury appear slim.
• Free-agent right-hander Brett Myers is telling teams that he wants to be a starter first, a closer second, and a setup man third.
Myers, 32, started last season as a closer with the Houston Astros because of the team's need, then remained a reliever after getting traded to the Chicago White Sox.
However, he pitched a combined 439-2/3 innings as a starter for the Astros in 2010 and '11, and previously shifted from the bullpen to the rotation with the Phillies in 2008.
• Right-hander Jon Garland, who sat out all of last season after undergoing shoulder surgery in July 2011, intends to make a comeback next season.
Garland, 33, threw for 10 to 15 teams in September but decided not to return at that time. He figures to sign with a club in late January.

When it comes to income inequality, Utah women suffer the most.
The average working woman in the state makes 55 cents for every dollar the average working man makes, according to the online magazine Slate using data from the Census.
Utah is followed by Wyoming, at 56 cents, Louisiana at 59 cents, North Dakota at 62 cents and Michigan at 62 cents.
The best states for income equality are Hawaii, Florida, Nevada, Maryland and North Carolina. In each, women make about 75 percent of what men make.
This week, the online magazine presented the data from the Census Bureau's 2010 American Community Survey five-year estimatesin map form, which can be found at http://slate.me/WEHFqw.
The findings mirror information released earlier this year that showed wages for Utah women remain considerably lower than for men and are costing families throughout the state thousands of dollars each year. And with nearly 85,500 Utah households led by women, the pay gap also has an impact on the state economy, according to an April report by National Partnership for Women & Families, a Washington, D.C.-based, advocacy group.
If the gap between men's and women's wages were eliminated, each full-time working woman in Utah could afford to pay for groceries for an additional 2.1 years, buy 3,890 more gallons of gas, pay mortgages and utilities for 10 more months, pay rent for 18 more months or purchase family health insurance premiums for 4.1 more years, the report said.
These necessities would be particularly important for the 28.2 percent of Utah's women-led households now living below the poverty level.
Annette Pieper, vice president of programs for the National Association of Women Business Owners, Salt Lake chapter, said she knows from personal experience about being paid less than a man for doing the same work.
"In Utah, we've been a patriarchal society for so long that there's a strong cultural expectation that women are to be homemakers rather than being in the workforce," she said. "We've also not reached the point that there's a 50-50 partnership in sharing home responsibilities, so women are expected to do it all."
The gap in earnings for Utah women also isn't all that surprising when considering their lagging college graduation rates, according to economists such as Lecia Parks Langston, with the Utah Department of Workforce Services.
Utah has the worst disparity in the nation between men and women earning bachelor's degrees or higher a difference of 6 percentage points. The Utah education gap more than doubles that of the next closest state, Idaho, at 2.4 percentage points, while the national average is 0.6 points.
"Education does pay," Langston said, noting the difference in earnings power between those who have a college degree and those who don't. "Women in Utah may think that they won't have to work, but they do and at a higher percentage than women nationally. There needs to be more emphasis on women understanding that they need to go to college and graduate. But there must be a big cultural change for this to happen."
Even with degrees, there is still often a pay disparity for women. Nationally, women with professional degrees are paid 67 cents for every dollar paid to men with similar education levels, according to National Partnership for Women & Families. Women with doctoral degrees are paid less than men with master's degrees, and women with master's degrees are paid less than men with bachelor's degrees.

Habitat for Humanity is transforming a trailer park in Charlottesville, Va., into a new model for affordable, intergenerational housing, with some help from AARP Foundation.
In 2011, AARP Foundation — the charitable affiliate of AARP — made a grant of $235,000 to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville to support the construction of Sunrise Park, a community of single-family homes, duplexes and condominiums located in the heart of the city.
The project is part of Habitat for Humanity's new strategy to address the area's affordable housing problem and at the same time create homes where people can age in place.
"There's a need to create intergenerational housing, because we don't necessarily believe in the model of silos where elderly are 'here' and young people are 'here,'" said Dan Rosensweig, Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville. "We think that this is a better model, an intentional intergenerational community, where, in a daily way, 80-year-olds can interact with 8-year-olds … This is mixed income and it's intergenerational, so we're trying to do something a little bit different, and it's on a bus line, it's walkable to downtown and to the little commercial district, so people can live there without cars if they need to."
Sunrise Park occupies one full city block and when complete will contain up to 66 housing units, including 20 duplex houses, 20 single family homes and a condo building with 15 apartments. Sunrise Park was designed as a community hub to bring together neighborhood residents and people from the larger Belmont-Carlton community. In the center is a large, communal "backyard" space of 50,000 square feet, or roughly one-third of the overall footprint, to promote socializing, play and community activities. Construction at Sunrise Park began in spring 2011, the first homeowners moved in that fall and full build-out will be complete in 2013.
The new homes are replacing 16 aging trailer homes — in fact, the project is the first trailer park redevelopment in the country that does not displace residents. That's because Habitat for Humanity promised the mobile home residents they can stay for the rest of their lives, either as Habitat partner families or in affordable rentals.
Nine families from the mobile homes will take up residence in the new condos, and eight of the nine have family members age 65 and over. Twenty-two Habitat Partner Families, most with children, and some single individuals will occupy the other homes or condos within the revitalized community.

i'm new here and i just recently started building my boba fett costume. One of the first things i ordered was a girthbelt from tackoutlet.com.
after 15 days and no package i got worried and called the 1-800 number which was instead a chatline number. i then e-mailed them and got my massage back telling me the webaddress did not work. after some research i learned many other people have been burned by this website. so i contacted paypal and they contacted the seller. thank goodness for paypal, i got a refund in one hour. which means that the seller never intended to send my item. had i waited 20 days paypal wouldn't have been able to help me.
to make a long story short in my opinion i would not order a girth belt from tackoutlet.com. hope this saves people from lost of money and time.

International Men's Month
June is International Men's Month, so we're celebrating by recognizing five men who have changed the way that society, employers, government, and academia think about gender, sexuality, men, and women. International Men's Month began in 1996 to raise media and public awareness about men's issues and masculinities to promote positive changes in male identity, emotional and physical health, relationships, and activism.
Jeremy Bentham
Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) was an author, jurist, philosopher, and legal and social reformer. Though he is best known for his advocacy of utilitarianism and animal rights, Bentham was also very outspoken against the oppression of women. His decision early in life to become a reformist is attributed to his disagreement with the legally inferior position of women in society; thus, he argued for complete equality between the sexes. In Offences Against One's Self, Bentham also argued for the liberalization of laws prohibiting homosexual sex, though this essay was not published until 1931, nearly 100 years after his death.
Frederick Douglass
Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) was an American social reformer, orator, and writer. After escaping slavery, he became a leader of the abolotionist movement and produced several abolitionist newspapers. In 1848, Douglass attended the first women's rights convention, the Seneca Falls Convention. Douglass stood and spoke eloquently in favor of women's suffrage, stating that he could not accept the right to vote as a black man if women could not also claim that right. He suggested that the world would be a better place if women were involved in the political sphere. "In this denial of the right to participate in government, not merely the degradation of woman and the perpetuation of a great injustice happens, but the maiming and repudiation of one-half of the moral and intellectual power of the government of the world."
Michael Scott Kimmel
Michael Scott Kimmel is an American sociologist specializing in gender studies. He is currently a Distinguished Professor at SUNY Stony Brook, and the editor of Men and Masculinities, a peer-reviewed academic journal of men's studies, feminism, protofeminism, multiculturalism, and queer theory. Kimmel has published many male-focused feminist pieces, including "Changing Men: New Directions in the Study of Men and Masculinity", "The Gendered Society", "Against the Tide: Pro-Feminist Men in the U.S., 1776-1990", and many more.
Mark Anthony Neal
Mark Anthony Neal is Professor of Black Popular Culture in the Department of African and African-American Studies at Duke University, where he won the 2010 Robert B. Cox Award for Teaching. Neal has written and lectured extensively on black popular culture, black masculinity, sexism and homophobia in Black communities, and the history of popular music. Neal is the founder and managing editor of the blog NewBlackMan and hosts the weekly webcast, Left of Black in collaboration with the John Hope Franklin Center at Duke University. A frequent commentator for National Public Radio, Neal contributes to several on-line media outlets, including Huff Post Black Voices and SeeingBlack.com. He has several publications in print, including Rethinking Black Masculinity (2005) and Looking for Leroy: (Il)Legible Black Masculinities (2012).
Joseph "Joss" Hill Whedon
Joseph Hill "Joss" Whedon is an American screenwriter, executive producer, and director. He is best known for creating the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, and Dollhouse. Whedon is a self-identified feminist, and credits his mother, Lee Stearns, for his worldview. He was honored at an Equality Now benefit, "Honoring Men on the Front Lines," in 2006. Whedon says that he is an activist "Because it's no longer enough to be a decent person. It's no longer enough to shake our heads and make concerned grimaces at the news. True enlightened activism is the only thing that can save humanity from itself."

The Senate unanimously passed a bill Tuesday to help convicted drug criminals expunge their records, and make it easier for them to obtain jobs.
However, HB33 was amended in the Senate, so it returns to the House which earlier this month also unanimously passed the bill.
The bill changes the law so that when the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole issues a pardon, it also expunges the record of someone convicted of drug crimes, the same as an expungement issued by a court.
While police could still see a person's criminal history, people receiving an expungement/pardon could tell a potential employer that they have not been convicted of a crime. Several lawmakers nicknamed it the "Jean Valjean" bill, after the main character in Les Miserables, who went to prison for stealing bread and found it nearly impossible to rebuild his life as long as he was a known convict.
Such expungements would be available only for those found to be free of illegal substance abuse and successfully managing any addiction. The bill does not allow expungement for people who have three or more felony drug convictions, or five or more overall drug possession convictions.

Finski,I am placing styrofoam in the telescoping cover today. However, I found NO water in or on the telescoping cover, inner cover, or tops of the frame where the bees are. I am not sure at all which surface is causing the condensation. Last year I found the telescoping cover & inner cover saturated with water. Yet, they are both now dry. Go figure.Thanks so much.
if the bees have a lot of uncapped stores and nectar thin syrup stored, you'll have more of a moisture problem.
finski, i live in a very wet climate. the dry sugar takes a lot of the moisture.
.Remember, when bees are in nature hole, they have not needed nor rice or sugar.Fool gang.They need only peace to sleep their winter over. You just kill your hives disturb all the time their wintersleep.

Fox's Ablow: There's "Sadness" At The White House Because Hugo Chavez Was Obama's "Comrade"
Ablow Claims That Obama Wants The Country In "Shambles" If It Allows For "Fairness And Reparations Of A Sort"
From the March 6 edition of Fox News Radio's Kilmeade & Friends:
KEITH ABLOW (Fox News contributor): I'm sure in the White House right now there's not any kind of glee over the departure of this man from the face of the planet. I think there's probably some profound sadness.
BRIAN KILMEADE (host): You really believe so?
ABLOW: Ab -- of course. This is his comrade.
KILMEADE: I mean this is a guy who took the -- took property from the people who have earned it, the rich.
ABLOW: Sound familiar?
KILMEADE: Gave it to the poor. He has now -- he's in a country now rich with oil where 70 percent don't have electricity on a regular basis. They have to import most of their food. And this is a guy with allies in South America, so close to the U.S. So this country is in a shambles.
ABLOW: Yeah, the --
KILMEADE: Venezuela's in a shambles.
ABLOW: Yeah, but we have a president who's willing to have this country be in a shambles if it is necessary on the road to what he considers fairness and reparations of a sort.

The white armor you are seeing above is starting to become a 327th Clone Comander Bly armor.
I've been assembling and painting it (together with some help), since august last year, not constantly but every now and then when there was time to work on it.
It's like working on a hotrod, I guess you guys know what I mean.
As I'm taking it slowly at the moment, just finishing the basic white layers (there are already three thin layers of paint on this armor, grey and two layers of white)
I chose grey for the first layer, because I used the kotobukya statue as a number 1 working reference , but the yellow colors will be as much as screen accurate as possible as the koto-colors tend to look a bit different.
Here's the armor in grey ground colors, also to get more depth in battledamage, when the armor gets scratched during troops.
The kama also has been made, here are the first impressions.
I chose for a battered kama, because to me, it yells more roughness as Bly operates in jungle-like/swamp-like environments.
Excuse me for the poor quality of pictures, they've been made in hurry with a cell-phone, when the project's done expect loads of good pictures .
The compad on my right-forarm, a rubber compad (Steelblitz) which I got from a fellow garrison member and intigrated it by cutting out the shape out of the forarm ,i like it better this way.
The Helmet I use is a limited edition MR clone helmet customized with a neckring glued in with fyberglass glue.
The binoculars , holsters, pistols and ammo cells are courtasy of Evo3 (andy).
This what's been done last sathurday
I'll keep this topic updated

By Joe Brewin
Arsène Wenger feels the pedigree of German football may be the strongest on the planet.
The Arsenal manager was born in Strasbourg and grew up in the village of Duttlenheim in north-east France, close the German border. From there it was Bundesliga football that surrounded him, providing the basis of a rich footballing education.
Ahead of the trip to Dortmund on Tuesday, Wenger said there was no better classroom.
"Maybe there the football roots are the deepest in the world," said the Gunners boss. "Schalke, Dortmund, Borussia Monchengladbach - this is the triangle in German football.
"When I was a kid, we had eight teams in the Bundesliga within 100km. You had Schalke, Dortmund and Monchengladbach. Dortmund now have 80,000 people at every game.
"They have a similar style to us so it will be a very interesting game."
Wenger was also quick to praise Dortmund head coach Jurgen Klopp, a man the Arsenal boss says can easily be likened to himself.
"He's a younger version for sure," said Wenger. "He's a man with personality who has done extremely well in the German football temple."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Recently, I have been using a machine called a HPLC quite a lot in my research. This has lead to quite a lot of questions like, "What is an HPLC? What does it actually do?" mostly asked by my grandma.
So, HPLC stands for High-Performance Liquid Chromatography, which is a mouthful. One will also hear it referred to by an older term, High Pressure Liquid Chromatography. You can see why most scientists are lazy and just refer to it as HPLC.
What a HPLC actually does is force a liquid mixture, which you want separated, through a tube of packed beads (called a column) at high pressure. In this liquid mixture there is some component that you want to separate from the rest of the mixture, whether it is a protein you need purified after synthesis or a drug from a urine sample. This is how doctors monitor that you are getting the right dosage of a drug and one of the ways that cocaine and other illicit drugs are tested for1.
As the sample passes through the column certain components in the sample will be attracted to the packed beads. Those components will take longer to get through the column because they keep getting stuck to the beads as they go through the column. This means that some components in the mixture will fly through the column, while others will take much longer to get through the column because those components keep sticking to the beads and then unsticking. This process is how the HPLC separates the mixture into the different parts. The sample can be separated using size, polarity, or several other chemical properties.
A detector is attached at the end of the column to identify what is coming off the column when. The detector can use many different types of detection, from ultra violet/visible light to mass spectroscopy, to figure out what component of the mixture is coming off of the column at what time.
Overall, the HPLC helps scientist separate and identify, and sometimes even quantify, parts of a liquid mixture.

Jeremy York was just days away from beginning his training to become an ore truck driver for Kennecott Utah Copper when the massive landslide struck the Bingham Canyon Mine.
Instead of getting eight weeks of training to learn how to drive the massive machines, York got a call from the company the day after the northeast wall of the mine collapsed, telling him that he didn't need to report for training.
He's not the only one whose livelihood has been impacted by the slide, which has claimed at least 50 other jobs and created anxiety about the mine's near future.
"When I first heard of the landslide, I was thinking that my job maybe was a little more secure that they would need the help hauling out the fallen rock," York said. "It was disappointing to hear that I didn't have a job. I'd been trying for a long time to get on there, and it would have been a big step up for me."
The 34-year-old York, who said he was one of 12 potential hires scheduled to begin training on April 15, said it is understandable Kennecott decided it didn't need to bring on any more drivers. Still, he had given his former employer, FedEx, three weeks notice that he was leaving and as a result found himself without a job.
"I've since found a part-time position as a warehouse worker, and I'm hoping if I work hard, that it will turn into a full-time job," he said.
The landslide on April 10 sent 165 million tons of rock crashing down into the mine, filling most of the bottom of the pit.
It brought ore recovery operations to a halt, left in doubt whether refining operations will continue beyond May and generated a growing sense of anxiety among 2,100 Kennecott workers and hundreds of outside contractors that their job security may have been buried under the fallen rock.
Already one outside contractor, Sandy-based Cementation USA Inc., has laid off 45 of its employees as a result of the landslide.
Cementation, a mine contracting and engineering company, was hired to construct two large tunnels into the mountainside as part of Kennecott's long-term plan to extend the life of the Bingham Canyon Mine. The landslide buried the company's work sites, along with millions of dollars in machinery, said Willie Finch, Cementation's director of human resources.
"Fortunately, all of our employees were out of harm's way when the landslide occurred, and we're grateful for that," Finch said. "And I won't say that we lost equipment because we know right where it is. We just don't known whether it is operational anymore or not. It's doubtful."
Finch said Cementation had approximately 70 employees working at the Bingham Canyon Mine just before the northeast wall came sliding down into the pit. He said a skeleton crew of about 20 Cementation employees is being kept on hand in Sandy at the request of Kennecott "in case we have to move to ramp up our operations again."
Kennecott spokesman Kyle Bennett said Wednesday that contractors such as Cementation often are brought in by the company because they have needed expertise to complete special projects. "We have contractors working throughout our operations. Other than at the mine, we have contractors continuing to work at our other plants, and so far the impact [of the slide on them] has been limited."
He said he didn't have an exact number of contractors that Kennecott employs. But estimates by unions representing mine employees put the number of contracted workers in the hundreds, which varies widely depending on the work that is available.
Bennett noted that all of the company's 2,100 employees who report to work are being given jobs and paid their normal wages. And although the company has asked all its workers to consider taking vacation or unpaid time off to help it better manage its workload, so far few have taken Kennecott up on that request.
Brandon Dew, business agent for Operating Engineers Local 3 that represents about 200 shovel operators and dozer drivers working at the mine, said he believes the uncertainty surrounding the near-term operations of the mine has kept most workers from volunteering.
"Everyone is concerned about what the future might bring, and they just want to wait and see what happens," he said.
Kennecott CEO, Mayor McAdams set press conference
Kennecott Utah Copper President and CEO Kelly Sanders and Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams will address the community in a press conference beginning at 9 a.m. Thursday concerning the economic and operational impact of the massive landslide that has brought ore recovery at the Bingham Canyon Mine to a halt.

My best advice would be to come out to the track and talk to many of the racers. The first thing is how much you want to invest to start, then go from there. We have a great entry level class with relatively low cost and maintenance. We also have a club kart you can come out and drive after the races are complete. Our next club race is April 6th at 6pm, if you can make it.

Educating leaders of faith and character is not only a goal of University of St. Thomas students, faculty and staff – it is a way of life. The 2013 Leadership Banquet celebrated student leaders who live this mission and their achievements. Nominees were selected and the winners were announced on April 28 to a room of about 175 attendees.
University of St. President Dr. Robert Ivany and several UST faculty and staff commended the student leaders.
Matt Prasifka, assistant vice president of Campus Life, said he and the University are very proud of leaders on this campus.
"The banquet is a great way to honor those individuals and organizations that have been active throughout the year," he said. "It was very difficult to choose the winners of the individual awards and the Club/Organization of the Year. There were multiple quality candidates to choose from in all categories."
The winners were:
Presidential Leadership Award – Monica Litle
Monica Litle, senior pre-law and political science major with a history and international studies minor, received the Presidential Leadership Award. Litle is a standout defensive specialist on the women's volleyball team and 2013 National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics National Tournament Champions of Character Award winner. This prestigious award is given to an undergraduate junior or senior who has made significant leadership contributions to the University. She is also currently the president of Pi Sigma Alpha and a member of the Phi Alpha Theta and Aquinas Honor Society. Recently, she competed with the UST Mock Trial Team in the Opening Round Championship Series in Memphis, Tenn.

As 2013 Commencement Student Speaker and co-founder of the Society of Macrina, Garza exemplifies the aim of this award – for a student who is sensitive to the value of diversity within the UST community, and is self-confident, skillful, creative and compassionate.
Spirituality Commitment Award – Jonathan Cruz
Jonathan Cruz, junior biology student and Grand Knight for the UST Knights of Columbus Chapter, received the Spirituality Commitment Award. Amid his many duties with the Knights, he also participates in events with Celts for Life and leads a Bible study for the Fellowship of Catholic University Students.
Emerging Leader Award – Amanda Bohl

Co-Programming Award – Pi Sigma Alpha, College Democrats, College Republicans and International Studies Society for Voter and Election Awareness
This award was presented to the groups who worked closely together to create a positive program for the St. Thomas community. The groups worked together to promote a well-organized voting atmosphere for students.
Student Enrichment Event Award – Mendenhall Achievement Center's "Invest in Success" workshops

Community Service Event Award – Best Buddies for multiple events throughout the year
This was awarded to the sponsoring club/organization of an event that has enhanced the educational mission of St. Thomas through significant contributions to community service and service learning.

The latest Best Buddies event to culminate a year of service is the Best Buddies Friendship Walk from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on May 4 at Terry Hershey Park.
Outstanding Club/Organization of the Year – Celts for Life
This award was based upon the club/organization's work on collaboration, organization, integration and inclusiveness both within their own group and throughout all campus activities. Celts for Life made significant contributions to the St. Thomas community through its active efforts and outstanding accomplishments. One of the many Celts for Life activities, with the help of the Knights of Columbus and other student volunteers, was creating a memorial exhibition of more than 3,000 crosses that symbolize the number of abortions performed in the United States each day. The Cemetery of the Innocents was front of the Chapel of St. Basil. The group also traveled to both Austin and Washington D.C. to participate in March for Life rallies.

Generally, the coalition has taken a position of supporting the findings and recommendations of the Simpson-Bowles Commission.
Those recommendations include capping domestic and military spending and reforming an expensive and inefficient tax code in a way that would eliminate about $1 trillion in tax preferences that favor specific categories of individual taxpayers, companies or industries.
The Concord Coalition, Hansen said, sees a pressing need to reduce health care costs, which now are at least twice as high in the United States as any other country.
But the most important component, Hansen said, is getting the public and lawmakers to realize the importance of restructuring "absolutely unsustainable" entitlement programs such as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

These are all the Chest and Shoulder decals for all seven (you read it correctly) versions of Boba Fett. These may not be the best out there on the net, but good enough for those that want to paint it themselves.
Update 12-02-2012
Replaced all the decals with a more accurate version and now each armor has its own decal set. The Promo #2 chest decal was a challenging one (because the lack of reference material) while the left shoulder logo (no reference at all) is a mix between the Pre-Pro #2 and the Promo #1 versions. The color separation files will follow shortly.
Update 13-02-2012
Added all the color separation files.
Update 06-03-2012
Rearranged the decals, this way each suit has both decals in one place. Added PNG files with all the armor logos for those who want to do their own decals.
Here are the Shoulder and Chest Decals:

This file is for comparison between each chest decal and for sizing and positioning purposes. I tried to size each chest plate to match in dimensions, this way it's easier to see all the major or small differences.
And these are the shoulder decals for all six suits. But remember that some of the shoulders were heavily reshaped and tweaked to give back with approximation their 'original' shape. The Pre-Pro #1 shoulder was colorized (there is one 'good' shot but is a black and white photo) to maintain the continuity of the shoulder decals.
All the US Letter files were replaced because of a defective layout used. I used the A4 format to do the LTR format, which resulted in an inacurate page format (smaller and deformed size). This means I have to replace all my LTR format files in my template and stencil threads (in the helmet and the armor sections).
Please download again all the LTR files. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Have fun with these Decals.

Machado and Glover Named to USBWA All-District Team
ST. LOUIS, MO – Iona College men's basketball seniors Scott Machado and Mike Glover have been named to the USBWA Men's District II All-District Team, as announced by Joe Mitch, Executive Director of the USBWA on Tuesday afternoon.
Joining Glover and Machado on the District II list, which includes players from New York, New Jersey, Delaware, The District of Columbia, Pennsylvania and West Virginia are Jason Clark from Georgetown, Moe Harkless from St. John's, Scoop Jardine and Kris Joseph of Syracuse, Kevin Jones from West Virginia, Herb Pope and Jordan Theodore from Seton Hall and Zack Rosen from Pennsylvania. Jones was named the Player of the Year from the district and Jim Boeheim from Syracuse was named Coach of the Year.
Machado continues a historic senior campaign for the Gaels, leading the nation in assists and assists per game. With 317 assists in 32 games played, he averages 9.9 per game. Machado is looking to become the first player in 16 seasons to average double-digit dimes. He is also the first player in the NCAA since 1993 to record more than 300 assists in a single-season.
The senior point guard averages 13.6 points per game and shattered his career-highs in field goal percentage, three-point field goal percentage and free throw percentage this season. He ranks No. 19 all-time in the NCAA and No. 1 in the MAAC and school history in career assists (870). With 1,598 career points scored, he is No. 10 all-time at Iona.
Earlier this season, Machado was named a John R. Wooden Award finalist along with the Naismith Award and is a candidate for two additional postseason awards: The Bob Cousy Award -given to the nation's top point guard - as one of 11 finalists on a list that will be cut to five before the week's end; The Lou Henson Award – given to the Mid-Major Player of the Year.
At The MAAC Tournament, Machado was named the Pepsi Max MAAC Player of the Year. Machado added 18 and 24 points, respectively in the MAAC tournament against Marist and Fairfield and had a combined 15 assists over two games.
Glover, a 6-foot-7, 215-pound forward from the Bronx, N.Y., earned a spot on the All-MAAC First Team for the second consecutive year. He finished the regular season ranked second in both scoring (18.1 ppg) and rebounding (9.1 rpg). Glover is also second in the nation in field goal percentage, netting 64.7 percent of his attempts from the field. For the second time in his college career, he was named the Oscar Robinson National Player of the Week after averaging 20.7 points and 7.5 rebounds in wins over Richmond and Vermont in December 2011. A three-time MAAC Player of the Week, he recorded 13 double-doubles and posted double figures in 29 games played this year.
In the MAAC Tournament, Glover score 29 points in the quarterfinals against Marist and then had 19 in the semifinals against Fairfield.

Re: If This Offends Anyone.........Too Bad
We stand, hands over hearts every morning at 7:30 and repeat the pledge as does every public school in the state.sigpic
Re: If This Offends Anyone.........Too Bad
Amen brother.
The one word that has gone AWOL in our society is the word RESPECT. As such if you take a breath and think about this for a moment there is absolutely no reason for suggesting racism or other. If I come to the USA I will behave myself. I will not burn your flag. I will not blow up your churches and schools. If I cant buy a HAM sandwich in one shop I will go to one where I can. I will not try to change your way of thinking to mine. I WILL RESPET YOUR COUNTRY AND THANKYOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY THAT YOU GIVE ME TO ENTER YOUR COUNTRY AND ENJOY THE FREEDOM AND RESOURCE.
Many years ago here we had English people, yes the ones from the Motherland, come here. All they did was whinge and whine. They were quickly called WHINGING POMS. They objected claiming they were offended. So we said, if you hate Australia why not go back to the PARADISE that you came from. HA, what a statement. We too say this today to the others who claim there are two kinds, them and infidels. Seriously, we didn't ask you to come here. You didn't have to dodge bullets to get here. Our Soft-Cock tree hugging Politicians, mainly the Labour Party and the lunatic Greens give you thousands of dollars to start you off and help you acclimatize with some basics. Our elderly and pensioners have to fight all the way and yet these types get more benefits than any of us would believe. The politicians want to feel warm and fuzzy and yet they sh1t all over the people who supported them and paid honest taxes all their lives.
The message is short and sweet. If you don't respect us then go back to your paradise that you came from and leave us alone. Let us welcome good people who don't want to kill us or take HAM Sandwiches off the menu. It takes all kinds to make the world go round but this is our country, respect us and we will in turn respect you. I am not RACIST as I will be accused of here. I am AUSTRALIAN, proud and PATRIOTIC. I respect others that respect me.
I find it absolutely incredible that these others claim they hate everything about Western Society but yet they freely hold both hands out to get our hard earned. They complain about everything and yet they wont go back where they came from, I rest my case.
Patriotism is good, fanaticism is lunacy.
Re: If This Offends Anyone.........Too Bad
I miss those days, great way to start school!
Re: If This Offends Anyone.........Too Bad
I guess I'm not sure who would be offended by the pledge. I am sure there are a few fringe anti Americans and general whack jobs out there but as a percentage I'm thinking they pretty much don't even show up on the graph. IOW while I like the sentiment it feels to me like political / idealogical baiting for a problem that is all but non existent.sigpic
Re: If This Offends Anyone.........Too Bad
I am a racist and proud of it I am a white Christian a Catholic and an endangered species as we are trying to cater for every race but our own and until we wake up we have no future other races come to out countries and try to change them bit by bit and governments chasing their vote accommodate them by allowing hal hal food every where women being able to use public baths with no male allowed pray rooms all over the place and the list goes on if you emigrate to a country then you should adopted the customs of that country but they don`t they try and succeed in changing from within little by little your lucky in the US you over three hundred million Australia only has twenty three million and your so patriotic where it is not part of Austrlian culture
Re: If This Offends Anyone.........Too Bad
Yea, I just don't see a real issue here. Maybe because I live in a small town but on parades and holidays we still gather around the flag pole, take off our hats and say the pledge. I object to people that feel that their brand of patriotism is better than someone else's. When push comes to shove America always rallies and brings the best to the fight. It's who we are. I suspect this has more to do with the "under god" bit which has been debated since it was added to the pledge in 1954 and continues to be an issue to the separation of church and state nazis.sigpic

My reason for posting this has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with separation of church and state so don't try and put words into my mouth! I also find your use of the term "nazis" very offensive. Why do you feel that everything has to have an issue attached to it? If there is any kind of issue here it might be that patriotism is on a downhill slope in this country but that wasn't my intention either. I'm proud of my country and its flag and see nothing wrong with showing that pride whenever and wherever I so choose too.I decided to change calling the bathroom the "John" and renamed it the "Jim". I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
Re: If This Offends Anyone.........Too Bad
Well yea, but what was your point for posting? I have seen the same picture posted on Facebook numerous times by numerous folks trying to make a point either for or against. The nazi comment; there always seems to be a group of folks that want to either force something on us or take something away from us. This may seem disingenuous to some that know my views on religion but I have no problem with including under god in the pledge. It doesn't offend me in the least anymore that in god we trust being on currency but there is a group of people that have made a lifetime over railing on and on about something that in my mind is not an issue worth fighting over. I comment because when I have seen that picture in the past it has usually been used by that group of people for political purposes....both sides.
What evidence do you have that patriotism is on the downward slope? I just got back from D.C. Flew down. Lots of military in the airports and on the subways. Amazing how many folks step up to shake their hands and thank them for their duty and I'm one of them. I think most Americans are quiet about their patriotism until someone stirs us up and then they quickly find out about the resolve of Americans to defend our nation.Last edited by NHMaster3015; 03-09-2014, 10:29 AM.sigpic
