Attorneys` Association "Gestors" acted as legal advisor to Public Joint-Stock Company "State Joint-Stock Company "Chernomornaftogaz" (hereinafter referred to as the PJSC "SJSC "Chernomornaftogaz") as regards controversial issues of return of "Titan-2" crane vessel to its owner.
The "Titan-2" crane vessel, which is designed for installation and dismantling of floating drilling platforms and their service, since 2003 has been in the bareboat charter in the Swedish company, and since 2011 in the sub-freight in the Mexican company Oceanografia SA de CV. After a while the vessel has been arrested by the Mexican financial authorities following the bankruptcy of the Charterer Company and launch of respective investigation.
At present the Financial Prosecutor's Office of Mexico removed the arrest from "Titan-2", and a decision on its further use is to be taken the Government of Ukraine.
Since the occupation of the Crimea peninsula by Russian Federation, this is the first time when an official body of a third country has formally recognized the ownership right of PJSC "SJSC" "Chernomornaftogaz", re-registered in Kiev in 2014, over the company's assets.
The project is fulfilled under the guidance by a partner of Attorneys` Association "Gestors" Andriy Tsvyetkov.
Your free resource for obtaining labor and employment law information worldwide.
Altra Industrial Motion Inc. has multiple locations in the U.S., as well as Central America, Europe, and Asia. The Employment Law Alliance has proved to be a great asset in assisting us in dealing with employment issues and matters in such diverse venues as Mexico, Australia, and Spain. We have obtained excellent results using the ELA network for matters ranging from a multi-state review of employment policies to assisting with individual employment issues in a variety of foreign jurisdictions.
In one instance, we were faced with an employment dispute with a former associate in Mexico that had the potential for substantial economic exposure. The matter had been pending for over a year, and we were not confident in the employment advice we had been receiving. I obtained a referral to the ELA counsel in Mexico, who was able to obtain a favorable resolution of the dispute in only a few days. Based on our experiences with the ELA, we would not hesitate to use its many resources for future employment law needs.
In my career I have been a practicing attorney, counsel to the Governor of Maine, and CEO of a major public utility. I have worked with many lawyers in many settings. When the American University in Bulgaria needed help with employment litigation in federal court in Syracuse, New York, we turned to Pierce Atwood, the ELA member we knew and trusted in Maine, for a referral. We were extremely pleased with the responsiveness and high quality of service we received from Bond Schoeneck & King, the ELA's firm in upstate New York. I would not hesitate to recommend the ELA to any employer.

I really enjoyed the Conducting an Effective Internal Investigation in the United States webinar. We are in the midst of a rather delicate employee relations issue in California right now and the discussion helped me tremendously. It also reinforced things that you tend to forget if you don't do these investigations frequently. So, many, many thanks to the Employment Law Alliance for putting that webinar together. It was extremely beneficial.
Lynn Clayton
Vice President, Human Resources
I recently participated in the ELA-sponsored webinar on the Employee Free Choice Act. I was most impressed with that presentation. It was extremely helpful and very worthwhile. I have also been utilizing the ELA's online Global Employer Handbook. This compliance tool is absolutely terrific.
I am familiar with several other products that purport to provide up-to- date employment law information and I believe that this resource is superior to other similar compliance manuals. I am delighted that the ELA provides this free to its members' clients.
Employment Law Alliance (ELA) has provided Boyd Coffee Company with a highly valued connection to resources, important information and learning. With complex operations and employees working in approximately 20 states, we are continually striving to keep abreast of specific state laws, many of which vary from state to state. We have participated in the ELA web seminars and have found the content very useful. We appreciate the ease, cost effectiveness and quality of the content and presenters offered by these web seminars. The Global Employer Handbook has provided our company with a very helpful overview of legal issues in the various states in which we operate, and the network of attorneys has helped us manage issues that have arisen in states other than where our Roastery and corporate headquarters are located in Portland, Oregon.
As an international operating outsourcing and consulting supplier Capgemini has used firms of the Employment Law Alliance in Central Europe. We were always highly satisfied with the quality of employment law advice and the responsiveness. I can really recommend the ELA lawyers.
As an employment lawyer based in San Francisco, I work closely with high tech clients with operations around the globe. Last year, one of my clients needed to implement a workforce reduction in a dozen countries simultaneously. And they gave me 48 hours to accomplish this. I don't know how I could have pulled this off without the resources of the ELA. I don't know of any single law firm that could have made this happen. My client received all of the help they needed in a timely fashion and on a cost effective basis.
Stephen J. Hirschfeld
As the Vice President for Litigation & Associate General Counsel for my company, I need to ensure that we have a team of top-notch employment lawyers in place in every jurisdiction where we do business. And I want to be confident that those lawyers know our business so they don't have to reinvent the wheel when a new legal matter arises. With more than 3400 stores and 35,000 employees operating in all 50 U.S. states and across Canada, we rely on the ELA to partner with us to help accomplish our objectives. I have been delighted with the consistent high quality of the work performed by ELA lawyers. I encourage other in-house counsel to use their services, as well.
Ingram Micro is the world's largest technology distributor, providing sales, marketing, and logistics services for the IT industry around the globe. With over 13,000 employees working throughout the U.S. and in 35 international countries, we need employment lawyers who we can count on to ensure global legal compliance. Our experience with many multi-state and multi-national law firms is that their employment law services are not always a high priority for them, and many do not have experts in many of their offices. The ELA has assembled an excellent team of highly skilled employment lawyers, wherever and whenever I need them, and they have proven to be an invaluable resource to our company.
Our company, Konami Gaming, Inc., is growing rapidly in a very diverse and highly regulated industry. We are aggressively entering new markets outside the domestic U.S., including Canada and South America. I have had the recent opportunity to utilize the services provided by the ELA. The legal advice was both responsive and professional. Most of all, the entire process was seamless since our Nevada attorney coordinated the services and legal advice requested. I look forward to working with the ELA in the future, as it serves as a great resource to the legal community.
Jennifer Martinez
Vice President, Human Resources
Until recently, I was unaware of the ELA's existence. We have subsidiaries and affiliates throughout the United States, as well as in Asia, the Middle East and Europe. When a recent legal issue arose in Texas, our long-time Nevada counsel, who is a member of the ELA, suggested that this matter be handled by his ELA colleague in Dallas. We are very pleased with the quality and timeliness of services provided by that firm, and we are excited to now have the ELA as an important asset to help us address employment law issues worldwide.
The ELA network has been immensely important to our company in helping us address an array of human resources challenges around the world. I strongly encourage H.R. executives who have employees located in many different jurisdictions to utilize the ELA's unparalleled expertise and geographic coverage.
Stacy Murphy
Former Senior Director of Human Resources
As the General Counsel for a company with 6,500 employees operating across the U.S. and in eight countries, it is critical that I have top quality lawyers on the ground where we do business. The ELA is an indispensable resource. It has taken the guesswork out of finding the best employment counsel wherever we have a problem.
Jill K. Bond
Senior Vice President/General Counsel, Shared Services and Benefits
We have direct sales and service offices all over the U.S., but have not necessarily had the need in the past for assistance with legal work in every state where we have a business presence. From time to time, we suddenly find ourselves facing a legal issue in a state where we have no outside counsel relationship. It has been a real benefit to know that the ELA has assembled such an impressive team of experts throughout the U.S. and overseas.
A few years ago, we faced a very tough discrimination lawsuit in Mississippi. We had never had to retain a lawyer there before. I was absolutely delighted with the Mississippi ELA firm. We received an excellent result. They will no doubt handle all of our employment law matters in Mississippi in the future. I have also obtained the assistance of several other ELA firms around the U.S. and have received the same outstanding service. The ELA is a tremendous resource for our company.
Our affiliated companies have used the Employment Law Alliance in connection with numerous acquisitions, and have always been extremely pleased with our ability to obtain the highest quality legal advice on due diligence issues from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. We have found the Employment Law Alliance firms to be not only first rate with respect to their legal advice but also responsive and timely in assisting us with federal and state law issues critical to our due diligence efforts. We consider the Employment Law Alliance to be an important part of our team.
We have partnered with many ELA firms on the development and execution of case management strategies with very positive results. We have been very pleased with the legal advice and counsel provided by the law firms we have utilized who are affiliated with the Employment Law Alliance. The ELA firms we have worked with are customer focused, responsive, and thorough in their approach to handling labor and employment law matters.
Elizabeth Daly
Assistant General Counsel
Sanmina-SCI has facilities strategically located in key regions throughout the world. Our customers expect that we will provide them with the highest quality and most sophisticated services in the marketplace. We have that same expectation for the lawyers with whom we do business. With operations in 17 countries, we need to be certain that we have a team of lawyers working together to address our employment law needs worldwide. The ELA has delivered exactly what it promised-- seamless and consistent high quality services delivered in each locale around the globe. It has quickly become a key asset for our human resources department.
We own, manage, and franchise hotels throughout the U.S. and in more than 90 countries. With more than 145,000 employees worldwide, ensuring that we comply with the complex web of local labor and employment laws in every one of these jurisdictions is a daunting task. The Employment Law Alliance has served as an important resource for us and we have benefited greatly from its expertise and long reach. When a legal dispute or issue has arisen in some far-flung place, Employment Law Alliance lawyers have always provided responsive, practical, and cost-effective assistance.
Wilmington Trust has used the ELA to locate firms in California, Washington State, Georgia, and Europe. Our experience with the ELA lawyers with whom we have worked has always been one of complete satisfaction and prompt, practical advice.

The clean-up is on at Spartanburg Sanitary Sewer District.
The clean-up is on at Spartanburg Sanitary Sewer District.
With long-awaited S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control approval in-hand, sewer district commissioners selected Clean Harbors, of Laurel, Md., to decontaminate and dispose of more than 840,000 gallons of sludge containing toxic levels of polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs.
PCBs are toxins known to be linked to a variety of ailments including cancer and outlawed in the U.S. in 1979. The SSSD, the city of Lyman and Greenville-based Renewable Water Resources have been coping with sludge contaminated by PCBs since June. The contamination is thought to be connected to illegal dumping. At least one grease trap in each of the affected areas was found to be contaminated with PCBs.
The clean-up is expected to start next week at the Lower North Tyger treatment facility and will conclude at the Fairforest plant at the end of the month.
Clean Harbors will be responsible for filtering, treating and disposing of the sludge. The company will also decontaminate the 42 containers SSSD rented to contain the infected sludge.
The $1.7 million contract is based on an estimated amount of sludge and could fluctuate depending on the actual amount of material that needs to be treated, said Rebecca West, chief operating officer at Spartanburg Water.
Another company, Spartanburg-based JBR Environmental Services, is also working to clean two pump stations with elevated levels of PCBs. The stations are the last two sewage flows through before entering the Lower North Tyger treatment facility. Each one is more than 40 feet below ground.
The contaminated stations were identified in September, and are thought to be the result of settled sludge making its way through the sewer system, West said.
"We're speculating that this is contaminated sludge washing through the system," she said.
JBR Environmental's contract to clean the pump stations is for $15,000. Special pumps, to divert water around the stations, also had to be obtained at a cost of $24,000. The SSSD is also planning a forced flush of lines feeding the pump stations in hopes of washing all of the sludge through the lines to avoid the costs of a second clean-up. That forced flush is not included in JBR Environmental's existing contract, West said.
The process of containing, decontaminating and disposing of the PCBs is expected to cost $2.5 million when completed, West said.
"This is one of the largest projects I've been involved with in a long time," she said.
To protect plants from future contamination, SSSD has issued new regulations requiring grease-disposing customers to secure grease traps and test their contents prior to pumping.
Testing for PCBs costs about $170 to $200. Most of the sewer district's customers have their traps pumped quarterly, leading to an annual cost of $680 to $800. Some customers have their traps pumped monthly, and testing could cost $2,040 to $2,400 annually.
If customers do not test grease traps before they are brought to the Fairforest treatment facility, the grease will be placed in a large tank. At the end of the week, SSSD will test the tank. If it is positive for PCBs, sewer district officials will trace the contamination back to the business with the infected grease trap and the owner will have to pay for the decontamination of the sludge tank. West estimated such a clean-up to cost $50,000.
West said haulers and customers were consulted about the new regulation, but she expects it will be tailored as issues develop in implementation.
"We wanted to make a change quickly to further protect our facility," she said.

SANTA CLARA — Representatives from the Bay Area teams gathered Wednesday, as they do this time every year, to welcome the start of the college football season.
But the star of the show wasn't a coach or player. It was the place: Levi's Stadium, the $1.3 billion gleaming new home of the 49ers.
If they handed out awards to facilities, Levi's Stadium would have long ago locked up newcomer-of-the-year honors — such is the impact it's having on college football in the Bay Area and on the West Coast.
In conjunction with the city of Santa Clara, the 49ers are bringing three games to the facility this season: Cal-Oregon, the Pac-12 championship game and the San Francisco Bowl Association's event.
The yet-to-be-named bowl, which is moving from AT&T Park and will match a Pac-12 team against a Big Ten opponent on Dec. 30, was the first non-49ers event to place a stake in the Levi's turf.
"It will be an amazing place for everything from soccer to John Legend," Gary Cavalli, the bowl's executive director, said Wednesday.
49ers president Paraag Marathe is quick to acknowledge that the team made a commitment to Santa Clara to book "as many events as we can," which explains the Earthquakes' match against Seattle Sounders FC on Saturday and WrestleMania 31 in March.
But college football is a priority for a franchise whose greatest coach (Bill Walsh) and current coach (Jim Harbaugh) both arrived from Stanford. "It's in the 49ers' DNA," Marathe added. "We have a great history with college football."
The relationship benefits both team and sport.
College football on the West Coast needed a state-of-the-art facility — its version of Cowboys Stadium — capable of attracting high-profile matchups.
The Pac-12 wouldn't have scrapped the successful home-hosting model in order to hold its championship game at your run-of-the-mill neutral site. Nor would Cal have given up a precious home game against powerhouse Oregon to play just anywhere.
But the lure of Levi's, which will host Super Bowl 50, was too great for either the conference or the Bears to turn down.
"Just to play in a facility like this is a positive," Bears coach Sonny Dykes said.
At the same time, the 49ers need blockbuster events. The more exposure, the easier it becomes to book future events — and pay the bills.
"It's a chance to show the facility on national television," said Andy Bagnato, a Phoenix-based communications consultant whose clients include that city's Final Four bid committee.
"Yes, they get exposure with the 49ers. But it's a whole different audience with college games. And that stadium has a lot to sell."
Marathe declined to discuss specific future events, but the 49ers are pursuing additional college football options, including:
Stanford and San Jose State have held preliminary discussions about resuming their series, with games possibly moving to Levi's.
The 49ers' bid to host the 2017 title game was rejected, but Levi's is expected to receive strong consideration in future years.
As one source noted: If the venue is good enough for Super Bowl 50, it's good enough for the College Football Playoff.
Cowboys Stadium has become the mecca for Week 1 collisions and recently locked up USC and Alabama for a 2016 duel.
Marathe didn't reject the notion that Levi's could one day host an August showdown.
Florida State vs. Oregon, anyone?

do not be fooled by the slowness of This Season, there are some Very Important and Smart preperations to make before August.
Salad Dressing: we should have 20 full square tubs of it stocked before August gets here. I tried to do this today but we are out of Balsamic Viniger. There is no sense making Salad Dressing in August and
Stock: also, let me say, we should be raising the orders from Green City to really bulk up the stock room gently over then next month. Get too many beans, too many chick peas, too many baked beans, too many rice noodles. That way, in August, we won't have a massive and back breaking delivery in the middle of the day when we are rammed and busy.
Curry / Chilli / Soups: Our goal should be to have both freezers full as well as 4 - 5 tubs stashed in the fridge by August 1. The last thing we are gonna want / need / have time to do is make big pots of curry and soup. We will still need to, but 2 freezers will give us some breathing room.
Olives: we should have 3 large "salad" boxes filled with marinated olives. They will sell.
Ratitioulli: is is soup, is it a main meal? Why are there four tubs of it? What is anyone meant to do with it? I, for one, feel our menu is fine and works so am sort of against these sort of changes to the specials. curry and chilli are easy for all to deal with... there is no need to bring a 3rd dish is (especially one I don't know how to serve or cost....) <sorry>
CHEESE: don't leave the cheese in bags once they are open. Transfer to a tub, just like normal. Bags are not air tight, boxes air. Cheese is open bags goes off quicker. Right?
So, keep this in mind in the kitchen days and nights over the next few weeks. If you are bored, make something we can save for august.

Was Abraham Lincoln a Christian? In this article, excerpted from Books & Culture (one of the magazines published by Christianity Today), former Wheaton College historian and now Notre Dame historian Mark Noll probes the complex character of Lincoln's faith.
Lincoln's religion has been debated almost from the moment of his assassination 130 years ago. Even today, conservative preachers and broadcasters who bemoan the decline of Christian America repeat moving stories of Lincoln's deep piety, while populist naysayers deny such claims. Both groups seem to feel that if only Lincoln could be enlisted on their side—whether of evangelical faith or naturalistic rationalism—it would amount to a great victory for them. But what does the evidence show? The following are facts now well established:
—Lincoln was exposed to Calvinistic Baptist preaching as a child and to a clamor of competing Protestant preachers as a young man. In a strange way, he seems to have been both absorbed and repelled by these early influences.
—As a young man, Lincoln expressed views that differed from Christian orthodoxy—perhaps a thorough skepticism or maybe only the hypothesis of universal salvation.
—Lincoln only once wrote directly about his faith. When opponents in a race for Congress in 1846 accused him of lacking faith, Lincoln penned these careful, noncommittal words: "That I am not a member of any Christian Church, is true; but I have never denied the truth of the Scriptures; and I have never spoken with intentional disrespect of religion in general, or of any denomination of Christians in particular."
—Lincoln knew and quoted the Bible. Sometimes this quoting was only to find a striking ...1

It seems like just yesterday that we first set eyes upon our two new cheetah cubs. It has been almost a whole year since then, and William and Josh are growing up fast!
They came to us from South Africa, from a conservation breeding facility near Johannesburg, making the journey to Australia in style, flying with Singapore Airlines. They were just eight months old, and still had all their baby fluff. Although the boys are now nearly full grown, at 20 months of age they are still considered juveniles as cheetah usually mature at around two years of age. William is currently 47kg and Josh 49kg making them ten kilograms heavier than our female cheetah Sheeba, and gaining fast on our adult males Echo and Foxtrot.
At Australia Zoo we strive to provide the best possible care for our animals and as cheetahs are a very intelligent animal we try to keep their day as interesting, varied and exciting as possible. One of the best ways we can enrich their everyday lives is to get them out of their compound and out for walks around the zoo. Every walk is different; there is always something new and exciting to see, and new people to meet. We like to give them treats while they are out on their walks. Ice-blocks are usually the treat of choice, especially during the hot time of the year as it keep them cool and hydrated. They have the choice between sardine, salmon, tuna, whiskers cat milk, and whiskers cat biscuits. William prefers the whiskers cat biscuits ice-blocks the most - he enjoys chewing the ice-block instead of licking, which means he finishes it very quickly. Josh on the other hand loves frozen sardines, and its kind of obvious as his eyes close and his tongue goes like mad!
All of our cheetahs have their own unique personalities.
Sheeba has a very high prey drive, making her more likely to seek out animals or vehicles that she'd love to chase. Foxtrot is our most nervous cheetah; he needs a lot more reassurance from his handlers whilst out on his walks. William and Josh are our two cheekiest boys. They both enjoy watching the animals in the savannah, and stalking cars as they go past, interspersed with a bit of rough and tumble with each other. Despite their cheekiness, they are very responsive to training and are an absolute pleasure to work with. Without fail, everyone who has met them falls in love with them instantly.
Next time you're at Australia zoo make sure you stop by Africa, and check out William and Josh - or one of our other beautiful spotty cheetah - on one of their daily adventures!

Last night I dreamt that my regular driving instructor was unavailable and I found myself paired with a lovely Fraü. We set out on the track in her stunning, white 911 Turbo and after a couple of laps I looked over at her and noticed that several of the buttons on her blouse had somehow become undone, revealing the better part of two very attractive and quite pert examples of Nordic breeding. She was driving fast-very, very fast-and I was becoming dizzy and the effect of all this was nearly overwhelming. All the while this lovely Fraü was standing on the throttle and hammering the gears as if she were conducting the Brandenburg Symphony Orchestra. I'm not entirely sure, but she may have been humming Strauss.
Through my terrible tunnel vision and general state of horrible confusion, I became aware of her right hand on my knee as we pulled back into the pits. We drove past her husband to which she gave the finger, saying to me in a thick German accent, He'll be polishing your car later. After we parked, she pulled off her helmet with a practiced and rakish abandonment, casually tossing her head back and shaking out her requisite blonde hair ... which set those two vunderbar orbs of pure white Swiss chocolate chortling and rolling like ... well ... need I say more? I was the lucky kid in the candy store. She gently cooed, Now you can take me for a ride.
I found her pigeon English to be quite beguiling and I was surprised to discover that my breathing was beginning to return to normal. She glanced over at my old and beloved 944 as if it were a quaint old cottage with a decent view and declared it marginally adequate. We rolled out of the pits and the next thing I know we are blasting around the track. While careening nearly out of control going into turn three, she shouted, Stop the car, schnell, and take me right here you Irish clod. With that she tore open her blouse and the Swiss Alps flourished before me. I banged Third gear at the top of the hill and she let out a feeble and very feminine, Oooo. Clearly impressed with our rapid progress-down-hill-she began to moan and say my name, Oh ... Jo-hann, Jo-hann ... Oh, Oh ...
Just before the turn-in point at the carrousel, she casually laughed and tossed her button-less blouse out the window, and it immediately snagged upon my rear wing and was now violently flapping in the slipstream; inspiring cheers and guttural taunts from the heathen corner workers.
Well, my long-suffering friend, as you can imagine from your tedious and trying association with your humble narrator, I blew a high-amperage fuse. We flew off the edge of the track and my clothes and the rest of hers were off before the car stopped spinning. Feeling very little need for any half-hearted attempts at foreplay, the entire adventure was consummated in record time, and let me tell you she was most pleased and grateful by my performance. At the moment of truth, she bellowed, Oh, Oh ... OH ... LAAAAATE AAAAAAPEEEEEX! She left claw marks in my carpets and I thank God I still had my helmet on; I think she tried to bite me.
As we laid with our bodies entangled and our helmeted heads occasionally bumping in a most charming and endearing manner, she whispered about setting me up with a place near the Nurburgring, and getting me a part-time job as a factory driver, maybe just with Audi at first, but it's a place to start. So, as you can see, this was turning out to be a really good dream but then, all of a sudden there was the Track Master, sticking his head into my window while surveying the scene and stammering, Two wheels off, two wheels off! You got two wheels off, you know.

MIDDLEBURY/VERGENNES — The annual "Sleepout" near the Otter Creek Falls is one of John Graham Housing & Services' biggest fundraising efforts each year.
This year's edition will take place on Saturday, Dec. 2. It will begin with a candlelight vigil on the Middlebury green beginning at 4 p.m.
Participants can bring a bag of food, a box of diapers, toiletries, hygiene products, cleaning supplies, a new quilt or set of sheets for a family moving into a home.
MIDDLEBURY — Around 40 brave souls endured bone-chilling temperatures and some wind-driven icy rain during a sleep-out at Middlebury's Otter Creek Falls this past Saturday night in a fundraiser that collected around $30,000 to help homeless people in Addison County.
Officials at the John W. Graham Emergency Shelter in Vergennes spearheaded the sleep-out, which attracted a variety of people ranging in age from 6 to mid-60s, according to shelter Executive Director Elizabeth Ready.

VERGENNES — Residents of the John Graham Emergency Homeless Shelter's main building this week are staying in other Vergennes properties owned by the nonprofit agency — or in the case of at least one family, camping at Button Bay State Park — while heating improvements are made and other maintenance is performed at the Graham Shelter's 69 Monkton Road home.
VERGENNES — The residents of the John Graham Emergency Shelter in Vergennes know what it's like to be without a home.
Maybe that's why it didn't take long for the shelter's newly formed women's group to zero in on the men and women who are serving in the military far away from their homes as the subject for a community service project.
VERGENNES — It was only a couple of months ago that Dave Huntley was jobless, homeless and living out of his car.
"I'd been working on a farm in Barton," Huntley said during a recent interview at the John W. Graham Emergency Shelter in Vergennes, where he eventually landed. "There weren't too many farm jobs out there."
But thanks to the efforts of the shelter, other area nonprofits and a Vergennes landlord, Huntley is a now a rent-paying tenant at a local residence.
VERGENNES — The John W. Graham Emergency Shelter for the Homeless is seeking volunteers to work with clients to increase their chances of finding — and keeping — permanent housing.
Shelter officials are preparing to launch a mentorship program for area folks to provide friendship, support and guidance to homeless individuals and families who can be overwhelmed by the bureaucratic hoops and transportation hurdles involved in acquiring housing and employment.
VERGENNES — Despite the ongoing renovation of the John Graham Homeless Shelter's main building on Monkton Road in Vergennes, shelter officials have continued to fulfill the organization's mission of finding housing for the homeless — even though demand is higher than usual, said Shelter Executive Director Elizabeth Ready.
Ready said plans had first called for the 10-bedroom Monkton Road building to stay open during the $627,000 project, which is expected to be finished in early September.

YouTube sensations Aleksey Igudesman and Hyung-ki Joo bring their madcap approach to classical music when they perform "A Little Nightmare Music," at Tilles Center, on Saturday, Feb. 2, at 8 p.m.
Igudesman, a violinist, and pianist Joo – both classically trained musicians – find inspiration from such comedic forefathers as Victor Borge and P.D.Q. Bach. The duo relishes overturning traditional attitudes towards classical music. Like their predecessors, they are serious musicians who have turned the world's most esteemed concert halls into standing room-only comedy clubs.
Think Mozart hijacked by Monty Python and you have some idea of the mayhem created at the highest level of musicianship on worldwide stages – and immortalized on videos with more than 30 million views. Yet, while their spin may be irreverent, they always treat the music with the utmost respect.
Tickets are $70, $50 and $35; available at (800) 745-3000 or www.ticketmaster.com or www.tillescenter.org.
Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, LIU Post, Rte. 25A, Brookville.

While shopping at Tai Pan I saw these cute metal buckets that came in a variety of colors and thought they would make great Easter baskets. With my Cricut, some vinyl and ribbon (the boys said no way to the ribbon) this is how they turned out. Way cute!!

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2009 Media Releases
Average salary increase lowest in last 40 years
Mayor Chris Beutler today thanked City employee bargaining units for working with the City to hold the line on expenses during tough economic times. The salary increase represented by the union agreements for 2009 averages less than one percent. According to the State Department of Labor, the average salary increase in the Lincoln area from the first quarter of 2008 to the same period of 2009 was 1.9 percent.
The Mayor said he has asked City employees to make some sacrifices for all three of the budgets he has developed. "In previous years, I have asked them to pay higher deductibles on their health insurance," Beutler said. "In my first set of contract negotiations, I asked them to accept less than what they were entitled to by State law, and I made the same request this year. In each case, City employees have demonstrated to me that they have the public's interest at heart. They've worked with us, compromised where they could, and found solutions that recognized the budget challenges faced by taxpayers."
The bargaining units and their proposed settlements are:
The City Council approved the contracts for LCEA, PAGE and ATU July 27, but the Council delayed action on the M class contract. Negotiations have been completed with IAFF and LPU, and those contracts will go to the Council soon.
Beutler said City employees have been asked to do more with less for a number of years. His budgets have reduced the City workforce by more than six percent, while the City has continued to grow. "It the productivity and commitment of our City employees that have allowed my Administration to undertake major re-organizations that have saved taxpayers millions of dollars," Beutler said. "They are the reason I was able to offer a budget for next year that increased by only .04 percent."

Cedar Posts and I both assumed that the John Edmonds of O'Neal's 26th Alabama Infantry, Company A, was our relative. However, we each assumed that the John Edmonds was a different person.
It turns out that there really were two John Edmonds from Fayette County Alabama in Company A. However, there is only one set of consolidated records for John Edmonds in the Compiled service records of Confederate soldiers from Alabama units at fold3.com. The entries for John Edmonds and John A Edmonds at Civil War Soldiers and Sailors cross-reference each other.
In my previous article, I mentioned that genealogists easily confused the 2 John Edmonds from Fayette County. It looks like the confusion goes back many years.
First of all, I'd like to remind us of a few things:
- The absence of a middle initial doesn't mean that one doesn't exist. "John Public" could be "John Public, no middle initial" or "John J. Public" or "John Q. Public" or…
- Misspellings are commonplace in old records, especially handwritten or transcribed ones.
|John Edmonds, Son of Nathan Edmonds
|John A Edmonds, Son of William A Edmonds
|Born 1833-1835 in Georgia per census records
|Born 1841—1842 per census records
|Enlisted in Company A, O'Neal's 26th Alabama Infantry on October 3, 1861.
There is only one record of enlistment, possibly because they were combined.
|Enlisted in Company A, O'Neal's 26th Alabama Infantry on October 3, 1861.
There is only one record of enlistment, possibly because they were combined.
|One of them was admitted to a hospital in Virginia on October 16, 1862 and returned to duty on December 17 or that year. Since no initial is listed, this was probably the older John, son of Nathan.
|Captured at Gettysburg on July 4, 1863
Another record indicates he was captured on July 2nd
|Captured at Gettysburg on July 3, 1863
Another record indicates he was captured on July 2nd
|Transferred to Fort McHenry, Maryland on July 6, 1863
|Transferred to Fort Delaware between July 7 & 12 1863
|Held at Fort Delaware from July 6 through October 20 1863
|Transferred to Point Lookout, Maryland, on October 20, 1863
|Entered the US Service on July 15, 1863 as a Private in Ahl's Delaware Heavy Artillery for a term of 3 years or the end of the war.
|Joined US Service January 29, 1864 as a Private in Company D of the First Regiment US Volunteers for a period of 3 years.
|Union Records indicate birth in Pike County, Georgia.
|Union Records indicate birth in Wilkes County, Georgia.
|Mustered into service at Fort Delaware on July 27, 1863
|Mustered into service at Norfolk, Virginia, on May 1, 1864
|Promoted to Lance Corporal on May 16, 1864
|Promoted to Corporal on July 1, 1864
|Spent time at Fort Benton, Minnesota Territory, May through July of 1865.
|Deserted September 11, 1865 from Fort Rice, Dakota Territory
|Mustered out of service at Wilmington, Delaware, on July 25, 1865
|Had he not deserted, he would have mustered out at Leavenworth, Kansas on November 27, 1865
|Drew a pension for his service for the Union
|Married Manerva Kilgore Studdard in October 1866
|Died November 7, 1910 and is buried at Natural Bridge, Alabama
|Death and burial unknown
Given that even the government seems to have confused/combined the two John Edmonds from Fayette County, Alabama, who served in the same company of the same regiment in the Civil War, and who were both captured at Gettysburg, and who both subsequently served in the Union Army, it is no wonder that distant relatives and genealogists have confused the two.

Is there any information about the dimensions of the Orion Service Module?? I am trying to make a 1\12 scale model of the system, for my collection, and I have only found a length, that says it is 15.8 feet long. This is a start, but, it does not give diameters of the inner cylinder and solar cell panels...etc... Can you help???Thank you so very much!!!
Here is a picture of the Service Module (the caption from ESA web site says model?) on the factory floor.
Here's a presentation on Orion's battery pack from that article.https://batteryworkshop.msfc.nasa.gov/presentations/01_Development%20of%20120V%20Batteries%20for%20ORION%20MPCV.pdfA Titanium spring was used as a solution to packing the batteries in a small volume.
Here are some more details on the service module from Mr. Bill Hill during the Human Exploration and Operations Committee of the NASA Advisory Council on July 28th:http://www.nasa.gov/directorates/heo/nac-heoc/#.VcI93vmm2u8a PDF of ther power point from his talk is at:http://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/files/2-Hill-Exploration-Systems-Development-Status-ESD-Status-NAC_Hill-July-28_Final.pdf Note that the Gant chart shows the integration of the SM with the CSM in February of 2017.and I posted pages 2, 7 and 8 from the presentation.

What is the evidence?
Ongoing controversies regarding etiology, diagnosis, treatment
OVERVIEW: What every practitioner needs to know
Are you sure your patient has diaphragmatic eventration or paralysis? What are the typical findings for this disease?
Diaphragm paralysis and eventration are rare but important diagnostic considerations in patients with persistent hypoxemia, especially with hypercarbia, in the neonatal period, after thoracic surgery when it is difficult to wean patients off ventilator support, in patients with high spinal cord injury, and in those with an abnormal diaphragm contour on chest radiography. The clinical picture in both conditions is due to diaphragmatic dysfunction.
Key symptoms and signs of the disease follow:
Dyspnea or respiratory distress usually associated with hypoxemia and/or hypercarbia
Dyspnea tends to worsen when patient is supine compared with an upright position
Exercise intolerance
Weak cough
Recurrent pneumonia and bronchitis
Paradoxical chest and abdominal movements with respiration
Frequent use of accessory muscles of respiration
Decreased air entry with respiratory effort
Recurrent episodes of bronchospasm have been described
Nausea, vomiting, and indigestion can occur in patients with displacement of the gastric fundus into the elevated diaphragm
What other disease/condition shares some of these symptoms?
Subpulmonic pleural effusion
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia
Neuromuscular disorders (e.g., muscular dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy, Guillain-Barré syndrome).
Skeletal muscle relaxant medications (e.g., after anesthesia)
Subdiaphragmatic fluid collections (e.g., subdiaphragmatic abscess or ascites)
Cystic adenomatoid malformation or pulmonary sequestrations
Pulmonary hypoplasia
Severe thoracic deformation (e.g., kyphoscoliosis)
What caused this disease to develop at this time?
Any of the following clinical settings might be associated with diaphragmatic paralysis:
A difficult vaginal delivery with or without obvious traumatic birth injury
High spinal cord injury, involving the cervical third through fifth nerve roots
History of cardiothoracic surgery causing phrenic nerve injury
A respiratory illness (e.g., infection or atelectasis) can unmask an otherwise subclinical diaphragmatic paralysis or eventration.
What laboratory studies should you request to help confirm the diagnosis? How should you interpret the results?
A blood gas determination to confirm hypoxemia and hypercarbia can be helpful. However, the patient may compensate quite well if there is unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis or eventration, with resultant normal blood gas levels. An elevated base excess and bicarbonate level in the blood gas suggest chronic hypoventilation when paralysis or eventration has been long standing.
Pulmonary function testing can provide supportive diagnostic assistance and help identify functional respiratory deficits from diaphragm dysfunction. The forced vital capacity (FVC) is often decreased, suggesting a restrictive ventilatory defect. A 15%-25% drop in FVC when spirometry is performed with the patient supine as compared with upright, supports diaphragmatic dysfunction but is not diagnostic. Assessment of maximum voluntary ventilation, sniff pressure, and maximum inspiratory pressure can provide functional assessment of ventilatory impairment to assist with management decisions. Peak cough flow assessment can help identify impairment in efficacy of the cough.
Overnight oximetry can detect nocturnal hypoxemia or suggest rapid eye movement (REM) sleep–associated sleep disordered breathing. Polysomnography can confirm the presence and severity of sleep apnea as well as nocturnal hypoventilation in patients with adequate daytime ventilation. Even in the absence of sleep apnea, REM sleep– associated hypoventilation can occur in patients with diaphragmatic dysfunction.
Would imaging studies be helpful? If so, which ones?
Chest radiography is often the initial radiographic evaluation that raises suspicion of the diagnosis, especially when there is asymmetry between the heights of the hemidiaphragms.
Ultrasonography of the chest not only can identify abnormal diaphragm motion and thickness, enabling diagnostic confirmation but also can help exclude some differential diagnoses (e.g., pleural effusions, subdiaphragmatic fluid collections, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, sequestrations, and cystic adenomatoid malformations). Neuromuscular ultrasound is an evolving technique used to image the diaphragm with targeted high-resolution images.
The advantage of this modality is lack of radiation exposure and relatively low cost without much patient discomfort. Ultrasonographic diagnosis, however, does require radiologist expertise and experience for reliable results. Utility is limited for patients on ventilator support. Further, ultrasonography provides qualitative assessment of diaphragm function but cannot quantify diaphragm function (i.e., determine functional impairment).
A computed tomographic scan of the chest can help differentiate a pleuropulmonary or intraabdominal pathologic condition mimicking diaphragmatic paralysis or eventration.
Fluoroscopy carries higher radiation exposure but can identify abnormal diaphragm motility and can be of diagnostic assistance. Fluoroscopy assesses excursion of individual domes and shift of the mediastinum via the sniff test of Hitzenburger.
Electromyography and nerve conduction studies of the diaphragm and phrenic nerve can provide diagnostic support but may have limited availability and require the expertise of a neurologist. The test is also associated with patient discomfort.
Newer techniques include dynamic magnetic resonance imaging, which entails quantitative assessment of excursion and synchronicity and velocity of diaphragm motion. Disadvantages of this modality includes operator dependence, limited availability, high costs, and the need for patient transport.
If you are able to confirm that the patient has diaphragmatic dysfunction, what treatment should be initiated?
Hypoxemia should be corrected with oxygen supplementation under close monitoring in patients with hypercarbia to ensure that hypoventilation does not worsen with blunting of the hypoxic ventilatory drive. Patients with severe respiratory distress may require intubation and mechanical ventilator support. Patients with primarily nocturnal hypoventilation may benefit from noninvasive ventilatory support (e.g., bilevel positive airway pressure support).
Nutritional support with nasogastric tube feedings may be required. Caloric fortification can result in development of hypercarbia from increased metabolism in the face of hypoventilation.
Patients unable to wean from mechanical ventilation or those requiring considerable daily noninvasive respiratory support (e.g., more than 16 hr/day) may require placement of a tracheostomy for chronic mechanical ventilatory assistance. Patients with significant respiratory compromise such as those with considerable exercise intolerance, recurrent lower respiratory infections, failure to thrive, recurrent atelectasis, pulmonary hypertension, or heart failure may benefit from surgical plication of the diaphragm. Plication immobilizes and lowers the diaphragm, thereby improving functional residual capacity and efficiency of the intercostal as well as abdominal muscles.
Patients with expectation of relatively rapid diaphragmatic recovery (e.g., pharmacologic neuromuscular blockade, Guillain-Barré syndrome) may be supported with ventilatory assistance in the interim.
Pulmonary rehabilitation/physical therapy was thought to be beneficial in a pediatric case series of patients with diaphragmatic paralysis.
What are the adverse effects associated with each treatment option?
Tracheostomy and ventilator placement may be associated with a significant burden of care, especially when patients are discharged home on such interventions. Complications of tracheostomy may include airway granulations, suprastomal collapse, translaryngeal air leak rendering the ventilator less effective, and feeding, speech, and vocalization difficulties. Accidental decannulations of the tracheostomy may be fatal in patients with severe respiratory compromise.
Noninvasive ventilation may lose efficacy if the mask does not fit properly and/or if there are airflow leaks, development of pressure ulcerations on the face from the mask interface, or significant thoracic deformity (e.g., scoliosis). Craniofacial deformation from long-term use of noninvasive ventilation in children is also known.
Diaphragmatic pacing can induce phrenic nerve impairment over the long term. A tracheostomy may still be required because of laryngeal and upper airway muscle asynchrony during stimulated diaphragmatic contraction. (Normally during inspiration, the brainstem respiratory control centers effect increased pharyngeal dilator muscle tone and vocal cord abduction with diaphragm contraction, which will fail to occur when paced diaphragmatic contraction occurs.)
What are the possible outcomes of diaphragm dysfunction?
The prognosis depends on the underlying cause and its reversibility. A pediatric study of 11 patients with isolated diaphragmatic paralysis reported 7 patients achieving partial weaning from respiratory support at an average of 2.6 months (range 3 weeks-6 months) and complete weaning from respiratory support at 5.4 months (range 1.5-12 months) after diagnosis. These children reportedly recovered without sequelae. A prospective study of 59 children with phrenic nerve palsy after cardiac surgery noted that the palsy was mostly transient in nature. Another retrospective study of 47 patients with diaphragmatic paralysis after cardiac surgery reported that plication was helpful in weaning most of those patients from ventilator support. Predicting recovery is difficult and needs careful clinical judgment.
Nonintervention or inadequate intervention may result in recurrent atelectasis causing respiratory distress, impaired airway clearance with secondary recurrent bronchitis or pneumonia, and cor pulmonale from the chronic hypoventilation. Permanent loss of lung function from chronic atelectasis and/or recurrent pulmonary infections can occur. Exercise intolerance may have functional consequences in the child's activities of daily living or social interactions.
What causes this disease and how frequent is it?
What causes diaphragm eventration and how frequent is it?
Diaphragmatic eventration can be congenital or acquired and is due to hypoplasia of the diaphragm. More boys than girls are affected. Although the exact incidence or prevalence is unknown, one literature report described a prevalence of 1/1400 chest radiographs. Congenital eventration occurs because of inadequate development of the diaphragmatic muscle or phrenic nerves. There can be partial or complete involvement of the diaphragm muscle. In the latter, the diaphragm is replaced by a thin membranous structure. Acquired eventration can occur secondary to disuse muscular atrophy after phrenic nerve injury (e.g., traumatic birth injury or thoracic surgery).
What causes diaphragmatic paralysis and how frequent is it?
Diaphragmatic paralysis may result from diaphragmatic muscle or phrenic nerve dysfunction. Etiologic considerations for this include the following:
Cardiac surgery, following which an incidence of 0.5%-1.5% has been reported
Traumatic birth injury, particularly involving the head and neck
Spinal cord injury, particularly when involving the cervical third to fifth nerve roots
Cervicobrachial surgery
Complications with central venous catheter placement, at which time the phrenic nerve can be injured
Involvement by mediastinal tumors and as a sequela of their resection (e.g., neuroblastoma)
Mediastinal or pulmonary infections when they involve the phrenic nerve (e.g., tuberculous lymphadenopathy)
Infectious or inflammatory polyneuropathies
Brainstem disorders
Physical manipulation of the diaphragm during abdominal surgery; may result in temporary reflex paresis of the muscle (typically lasting minutes to hours)
Transient phrenic nerve paralysis has been described with status asthmaticus in a 9-year-old boy.
Hereditary neuromuscular disorders may also manifest with diaphragm weakness/paralysis and phrenic nerve dysfunction
How do these pathogens/genes/exposures cause the disease?
The phrenic nerve has a long course from the neck to the diaphragm. It becomes superficial in the neck where it rests on the ventral surface of scalenus anterior covered by the sternomastoid muscle. It then crosses the apical pleura, coursing in front of the lung root and lateral to the pericardium before reaching the diaphragm. This lengthy path predisposes the nerve to injury during cervical, cardiac, and thoracic surgery.
Other clinical manifestations that might help with diagnosis and management
Diaphragmatic paralysis should be suspected in infants with respiratory distress and Erb palsy secondary to birth injury. Clavicular fractures and vaginal delivery of an infant with breech presentation are also risk factors for diaphragmatic paralysis. Consider the diagnosis when such infants are noted to have respiratory distress, recurrent atelectasis, or an elevated diaphragm on chest radiography.
What complications might you expect from the disease or treatment of the disease?
Impaired cough may result in retention of lower airway secretions. This can predispose to chronic atelectasis and recurrent bronchopulmonary infections, both of which can lead to pulmonary scarring and secondary loss of lung function.
Hypoventilation can result in hypoxemia, hypercarbia, and respiratory distress with secondary failure to thrive, sleep-disordered breathing, cognitive impairment, cor pulmonale, and even death.
Exercise intolerance and thoracic deformity can occur because of diaphragmatic dysfunction. This may have functional and psychosocial implications for the child and family.
Pulmonary hypoplasia can potentially occur when the conditions are present from fetal life or early infancy.
There are case reports of spontaneous rupture of diaphragmatic eventration causing life-threatening respiratory distress.
Are additional laboratory studies available; even some that are not widely available?
Magnetic phrenic nerve stimulation has been used successfully to determine diaphragmatic paralysis in an infant with minimal patient discomfort. Availability may be limited to specialized centers.
Measurement of transdiaphragmatic pressure changes with a simultaneously placed esophageal (measuring pleural) and gastric (measuring abdominal pressure change) balloon is the gold standard but has limited clinical availability. However, this is an invasive and expensive procedure and does not enable diagnosis of unilateral weakness.
How can diaphragmatic eventration and paralysis be prevented?
High-risk vaginal deliveries, particularly those with cephalopelvic disproportion and breech presentation, should be avoided.
Even with the best surgical techniques, diaphragmatic paralysis can occur during cervical, thoracic, and cardiac surgery.
Prophylactic immunizations, including annual influenza vaccine and expanded pneumococcal vaccine (when age appropriate) can be considered in these patients to reduce the risk of respiratory morbidity. Palivizumab prophylaxis for respiratory syncitial virus may be considered in young infants with diaphragmatic eventration or paralysis, particularly when there is significant ventilatory compromise.
Optimization of nutrition and physical therapy may reduce functional impairment secondary to diaphragm dysfunction.
Genetic counseling in patients with neuromuscular disorders may help avoid future family members being affected with the condition.

Most evidence for management of diaphragmatic paralysis and eventration in children is grade C or D. Consultation with appropriate specialists is recommended when managing these patients.
Ongoing controversies regarding etiology, diagnosis, treatment
The optimal timing of surgical plication is not certain. The advantage of early intervention is improved pulmonary dynamics with lower risk of loss of lung function and complications. As surgical plication is often not reversible, an argument for delayed surgery can be made to provide opportunity for spontaneous diaphragmatic recovery. Respiratory improvement with continuous positive airway pressure therapy, which increases functional residual capacity and splints the diaphragm, may help identify patients who can benefit from plication.
Diaphragmatic pacing may be an option for those patients in whom there may be sufficient residual phrenic nerve or diaphragmatic function. Repeated artificial phrenic nerve stimulation itself may lead to degenerative changes in the nerve.
It may not be possible to differentiate diaphragmatic eventration from paralysis clinically or with commonly used clinical investigations.

I have one or if I was ... so ... I'm I'm good I'm I'm confuse frankly so we got Fight character's now we've got general picture isn't all Broadwell ... we've also got ... sure it was FBI agent ... we've got ... I ... Jill Kelly ... that if the social planner ... and we have General John Allen ... can you help make sense right is going on here ... the simplest way can explain it is it's essentially starts ... with Jill Kelly that the woman in Tampa receiving some anonymous ... harassing emails that essentially insinuate that she's having some sort of the cheese ... calling around or husband on some level ... I which eventually complaints ... no no no it's not clear who the email to refer wanted to keep going so so ... so that she complains about the emails to a friend of hers was an FBI agent Mel FBI ... that FBI agent ... brings the issue to ... the cyber ... investigations unit ... of of his hero and a SAAR investigation ... at some point they trace those email back to a woman named Paula Broadwell ... who has written biography of gentle trends ... in and of course the investigation the FBI learns that ...

Donald Trump issued a rare apology Friday afternoon after the Washington Post posted a video tape of the Republican presidential nominee joking about kissing and groping women without their permission, and discussing his efforts to have sex with an unnamed married woman star in 2005.
In the video, Trump and Access Hollywood host Billy Bush are heard, but not seen, on hot microphones joking about Trump's sexual exploits.
"I moved on her and I failed. I'll admit it," Trump says early in the video. "I did try and f--- her. She was married."
Trump tells Bush he took the woman furniture shopping as he tried to seduce her.
"I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn't get there. And she was married," Trump says. "Then all of a sudden I see her, she's now got the big phony t--s and everything. She's totally changed her look."
Trump was married to his third wife Melania at the time the tape was recorded. It is unclear when the events discussed on it occurred.
Later in the tape, Trump can be heard shaking out what he says are tic-tacs, in case, he says, he kisses the soap opera actress he is about to meet.
"And when you're a star they let you do it," Trump says. "You can do anything. Grab them by the p---y," Trump says. "You can do anything."
Throughout the tape, Bush can be heard bantering with Trump. Access Hollywood and Bush did not initially respond to the Post's story.
Trump's campaign released the following statement from the candidate.
"This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago. Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course - not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended."
The first public comment from the Hillary Clinton campaign appears to be an unsigned tweet from Clinton's account.
"This is horrific. We cannot allow this man to become president," the tweet reads, with the Post's story linked below.

The clippers are great. Except they do get hot a lot faster than advertised. I got the deal with the extra pair of clippers and I have to change out clippers while they cool off.
These are really good clippers, except for one thing. The Switches. We have had two sets of these and both the switches went bad after about a year. One we had repaired, but the repair only lasted weeks. If AGC would get rid of the small red locking button, the switches would undoubtedly last much longer. I'm buying different models now.
I have been a dyed in the wool Oster Clipmaster user for 15+ years. When a part went out in the middle of body clipping, I was desperate to get a replacement ASAP, so my poor mare wouldn't be left partially clipped! I almost went my with my tried and true Clipmasters, but thought I would ask a friend who works in a tack shop her recommendation. She said, without a doubt, the Andis 2-speeds with the T-84 blade. I thought she was crazy! Use those tiny little clippers to do a whole horse?! I read some online reviews and decided to take a chance, they are $100 cheaper than the Clipmasters, anyway. WOW! I about fainted when I started clipping! Those little clippers have to be on steroids! I think I got more done in a shorter amount of time, without the arm soreness of using the Clipmasters! I was going to order the replacement part for my Clipmaster, but after using the Andis 2-speeds, I think I'll try to sell them for whatever I can get for them, I'll never use them again! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
