HEAD COACH JASON MILLER ON PACCIONE:"Hiring Dan has proven to be the best move I've made since coming to St. John's. He has a passion for the University, our program and our players. He is fiercely loyal and is a tireless worker and recruiter. St. John's is very fortunate to have him."
Dan Paccione was named associate head coach of the Red Storm lacrosse program in the fall of 2014 after spending the previous eight seasons as the top assistant coach and offensive coordinator at St. John's.
In addition to his responsibilities as offensive coordinator, Paccione previously oversaw St. John's man-up unit and acts as the program's recruiting director.
Since his arrival in Queens in 2007, Paccione has mentored an attacking unit which has evolved into one of the most potent and explosive in the country.
In 2014, the Red Storm ranked among the statistical leaders in the BIG EAST Conference in a number of categories, including posting a league-best man-up scoring percentage (.414) and ranking top-3 in goals (11.43), assists (6.64) and points (18.07) per game. St. John's scored in double figures in 11 of 14 games during the season and demonstrated an ability to find the back of the net in high-pressure situations, winning overtime games over Long Island rival Hofstra and BIG EAST foe Villanova as well as outscoring Stony Brook, 5-0, in the fourth quarter to stage a late-game comeback in a duel for local bragging rights.
Three of Paccione's attackmen were rewarded for stellar 2014 campaigns with national and all-conference awards and accolades. Most notably, senior Kieran McArdle capped a record-breaking career by being named a Tewaaraton National Player of the Year nominee and USILA All-America second team pick for the second-consecutive year. Under Paccione's tutelage, McArdle also repeated as BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year and conference "Triple Crown" winner as he led the league in points (5.71), goals (2.86) and assists (2.86) per game. A two-time unanimous first team All-BIG EAST selection, McArdle scored a single-season program-record 40 goals in 2014 and ended the year as St. John's all-time leader in career points, goals and assists as well as the first player in program history to record 200 goals, 100 assists and 100 goals in a career. In August 2014, after being drafted fifth overall in the 2014 Major League Lacrosse Collegiate Draft by the Florida Launch, McArdle was named MLL's 2014 Cascade Rookie of the Year.
Also earning individual acclaim in 2014 were fellow senior attackmen Kevin Cernuto and Ryan Fitzgerald, who were named All-BIG EAST second team. Cernuto scored seven hat tricks in 2014 and finished the season with 110 career goals, second most in St. John's history, while Fitzgerald marked his final season by recording career highs in points (33) and goals (22). At the end of the season, McArdle, Cernuto and Fitzgerald were selected to play in the annual DI/DII North-South All-Star game.
Paccione led one of the nation's top attacking units during a record-breaking 2013 season, as the Red Storm averaged 12.46 goals per game, fifth best in the country and tops in the BIG EAST. St. John's also featured a man-up unit that converted at a 41.2 percent clip for the season, which ranked 11th in the NCAA. Three St. John's players scored over 20 goals during the year, two scoring over 30, as the Red Storm (9-4, 3-3 BIG EAST) posted the most wins since program reinstatement in 2005 and the second-most ever for a lacrosse team at St. John's.
Individually, McArdle tallied 36 goals and 49 assists to become the school record-holder in assists and points in a season in 2013, and finished the regular season as the NCAA assist-per-game leader (3.77) and second in the NCAA for points per game (6.54). McArdle was also named a unanimous first team all-conference pick along with Cernuto, who, with 3.69 points per game, gave St. John's the league's top two scorers.
Paccione led a dynamic offensive attack during the 2012 season as the team averaged 9.07 goals per game and featured a man-up unit that converted at 44.8 percent clip for the season, which ranked eighth in the NCAA. Four St. John's players scored over 20 goals during the year, the highest amount to ever reach the 20-goal plateau in one season. McArdle was recognized as an Honorable Mention USILA All-America selection after totaling 28 goals and 32 assists as a sophomore as well as a first team All-BIG EAST selection after leading the conference in both points and assists.
Paccione has helped five different players earn All-BIG EAST recognition during the team's four seasons in the conference. McArdle was a first team pick as a senior, junior and sophomore, including two unanimous nods, while Cernuto was a second team pick in 2014 along with Fitzgerald and first team selection in 2013. Terence Leach received second team honors in 2012 and Harry Kutner was a second team honoree in 2010.
In eight seasons with the Red Storm, Paccione has also worked closely with the face-off specialists, helping St. John's to a top-25 national ranking in face-offs his first two seasons. As the offensive coordinator, he coaches the man-up attack unit as well as opening up the offensive attack. Paccione helped instill a more "run and gun" style offense, helping the Red Storm build an ominous presence downfield.
Prior to St. John's, Paccione spent a season at Stony Brook University, where he worked primarily with both the face-off unit and wing players. He also tutored the man-up personnel, which finished in the top 10 in the country for shooting percentage.
From 2004-05, Paccione worked as an assistant to Yale head coach Andy Shay, where his primary responsibilities included face-off and wing play personnel. During his two-season tenure with the Bulldogs, the face-off unit finished with one of the nation's best winning percentages at the X (.663).
Paccione played lacrosse for the University of Massachusetts and graduated in 2002 with a bachelor of science degree in sports management. He led the Minutemen to two ECAC Championships in 2001 and 2002, and the NCAA Quarterfinals in 2002. In 2002, Paccione also earned first team All-ECAC honors and the UMass offensive Most Valuable Player award when he recorded 34 goals and 13 assists for 47 points, and won 86-of-156 face-offs for a .548 winning percentage.
After graduating from UMass, Paccione played for the New York Saints of the National Lacrosse League (NLL). He was also selected by the Long Island Lizards as the 11th overall pick in the Major League Lacrosse (MLL) draft. He played for the Lizards from 2002-03 and helped the team win the MLL Championship in 2003. In 2004, Paccione played for the Philadelphia Barrage, another squad that won the MLL Championship. The following season, Paccione suited up for the Lizards again, and the team advanced to the MLL Championship game. In 2006, Paccione played for the Chicago Machine.
Paccione and his wife, Katie, a physical education teacher in Farmingdale, N.Y., reside in Wantagh, N.Y. The couple was married in August 2007 have three children, Devin (6), Madison (4) and Luke (1).
Terry Mangan, a native Long Islander and the 2010 Patriot League Coach of the Year, returned to the collegiate coaching ranks to join the St. John's lacrosse staff in the Fall of 2014.
Mangan, who resides in West Orange, N.J., brings more than 20 years of collegiate coaching experience to the St. John's sidelines, including 10 years as a Division I head coach at Lafayette College. Mangan also spent 10 years as a college assistant coach, as well as coaching at the high school and junior high school levels.
Mangan guided Lafayette to its only Patriot League Tournament berth in program history in 2010, and was rewarded that same season by being named Patriot League Coach of the Year. Lafayette was also ranked in both top-20 polls for eight consecutive weeks and stood as high as No. 8 in the nation in 2010. Mangan coached a pair of Tewaaraton Award Watch List honorees in 2011 who were both honored as USILA Scholar All-Americans as seniors, with one of those players becoming the program's first All-America selection since 1931. He also led Lafayette to its first wins over nationally-ranked opponents, defeating Navy and Bucknell, and, in 2010, saw his Leopards rank sixth in the country in scoring offense and fifth in assists per game. Mangan mentored 55 Patriot League Academic Honor Roll selections over his last two seasons with the Leopards, the highest total in the league over that span.
Prior to coaching at Lafayette, Mangan spent two seasons as an assistant at the University of Massachusetts where his responsibilities included assisting with the offense, working with the goalkeepers and coordinating face-offs. With Mangan on staff, UMass finished first in the nation in scoring offense in 2002 and second in scoring in 2001. During the 2001 campaign, he coached an All-American goalie and face-off man that was second nationally in winning percentage. In Mangan's two years at UMass, the Minutemen posted a combined record of 24-6 and advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals in 2002.
Mangan came to UMass after spending four seasons as an assistant coach at Hobart College where he was the defensive coordinator and goalkeeper coach. He helped guide the Statesmen to two NCAA Tournament appearances and the 2000 Patriot League championship while coaching a pair of All-Americans and seeing three of his defensemen collected All-Patriot League honors in 2000.
Mangan's collegiate coaching experience also includes stints at the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Maryland-Baltimore Country and Washington College (Md.). He also spent two years as the head coach at Archbishop Spalding High School (Md.) where he earned Anne Arundel Sun Boys Lacrosse Coach of the Year honors.
Mangan has previously served as the President of the Men's Coaches Council of US Lacrosse as well as on its Board of Directors.
A 1988 graduate of Roanoke College, Mangan was a four-year varsity letterwinner at the goalkeeper position and helped guide his team to four NCAA Tournament appearances.
Between leaving Lafayette and joining St. John's, Mangan worked as a Curriculum & Recruiting Manager for Trilogy Lacrosse.

Lo and behold, someone I know has offered to compose a piece to go with it. How exciting!
The music suggested that I slow down the animation and then I decided that the order of things needed to change a bit. More learning of technology - not very sophisticated technology but still a challenge for me.

Verdier, Akande & Hines Advance at NCAA East Regional
Christie Verdier (left) set a new 400 meter PR tonight at the NCAA East Regional, coming third in her heat of the 400 meters and automatically advancing to the next round. Verdier ran 53.28, the 11th fastest time of the day among the 48 competitors, and broke her previous PR of 53.56 set at the Big East meet three weekend ago.
In the 800, Nicky Akande (right) was sitting pretty in 3rd place on the final straight, but began to tie up and was passed by two runners in the final 10 meters. Akande fell across the finish line (just barely crossing the line) to finish 5th in 2:07.55. Because she was out of the top three finishers in her heat, she had to wait to see if she would qualify on time (the next 9 fastest finishers outside the top three would advance). Her time stood up, and Akande was the 5th fastest non-automatic qualifier, thereby advancing to the next round on Friday.
In the men's 400 meter hurdles, junior Nicoy Hines (left) finished a strong 3rd in his heat, running 52.04, and thereby automatically advanced to the next round (which takes place Friday night).
In other action, long jumper Elbert Maxwell leaped 22' 9.75" to finish 37th among the 48 competitors. Freshman Megan Venables contested the 10,000 meters in the final event of Day 1 of the Regional. She came home 30th out of 47 competitors, in 36:15.73. Finally, in the women's javelin, freshman Jamie Klein threw 132' 7" and finished 36th in the field of 47 competitors.

A good friend reminded me this weekend that if we focus on what we don't want we will always end up there. If I focus on not being like my dad I will end up being like him or if I focus on the ditch while driving I will end up in the ditch. People do not set goals to not do or be something, they set goals in the direction they want to go.
"…every organization eventually becomes a direct reflection of its leadership, whether for good or for bad."
Larry Osborne, Sticky Church, Pg. 123
Knowing what we don't want is great however one must focus on what is to be achieved. What is the purpose of Christianity and why do we believe what we do?

Little Current was Canada's 3871th most expensive suburb by listed median house price this month.
With Little Current's median house price at $149,950 in Aug , it is one of the cheapest neighbourhoods compared to the rest of Ontario.
If you're looking at investment properties in Little Current, then you're most likely to find homes with 2 bedrooms on sale this month.
Across Ontario Little Current has the 348th most properties on offer with 1145.
Ontario has hundreds of possible neighbourhoods for you to invest in and there is lots of data to sift through to help you narrow your search down.
Because the amount of real estate listed for sale has decreased it looks like housing market forces in neighbourhood are likely to put upwards pressure on house prices.
When it comes to the size of the properties currently available to property investors in this neighbourhood, they tend to have the average number of bedrooms than the most commonly available across the nation.
Can we guarantee how well Little Current is going to do next year? No, but we can look at the data we have and use it as a starting point before doing research.
It's always hard to tell what property prices will do over the coming months, but over the last three months the properties available for purchase in Little Current have stayed pretty much the same which would tend to indicate that demand is steady.
Just fill in a few details, and we'll arrange for a Mortgage adviser to help you find the best mortgage for your needs

For centuries, families raising crops and livestock in the water-scarce Middle East have struggled to eke out a living. In recent decades, however, that situation has become even more dire, with rising human populations, increasing water demand for both human and industrial use, drought, climate change, expanding deserts, soil depletion, and deteriorating water quality.
Taking on that broad range of challenges is the focus of a recently launched USAID project, the Middle East Water and Livelihoods Initiative (WLI).
The WLI works in seven territories: Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank and Gaza, and Yemen. The project seeks to improve rural livelihoods through better, sustainable land and water management. Those concerns are closely linked in the Middle East. Of the region's poor, some 60% live in rural areas. About three-quarters of the region's water supply goes for agricultural uses. Nevertheless, in some of the countries the amount of water available per person has fallen to as little as 170 cubic meters per year. That is far below the generally accepted international definition for "scarcity," of 1,000 cubic meters per year.
The WLI project team is being led by the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), a major research institute based in the city of Aleppo, Syria. "ICARDA plays a crucial role in terms of the long-standing relationships it has in the Middle East," said USAID staff member Scott Christiansen, who has worked for ICARDA in the past. Now based in Washington, D.C., Christiansen oversees WLI as part of his duties with the USAID Office of Technical Support of the Asia and Middle East Bureaus.
Also working with ICARDA on WLI are the national agricultural research and extension systems of the participating countries, three leading regional universities in the Middle East, and five U.S. universities that have well-respected degree programs in agriculture.
According to Tareq Bremer, an ICARDA grants management officer for WLI, a key element of the WLI design is its community-based, participatory methodology. For example, project scientists have been working with farmers to identify research topics for the specialists to explore, and WLI staff have been asking the farmers for practical, realistic advice that could be shared with other Middle East countries. "It's a bottom-up approach," comments Fadi Karam, the WLI project coordinator for ICARDA. "It links together scientific research, the extension services, and the farmers."
Mr. Bremer indicated that WLI also takes a much broader perspective on water scarcity than has been true for previous work in the Middle East. For example, many earlier water projects failed to incorporate the livelihoods issue. WLI considers multiple levels, including the field, farm, watershed, and basin. The project takes into account the linkages and interactions among people, resources, and the environment. WLI also considers integrated approaches to increasing both land productivity and water productivity, a strategy known as "more crop per drop."
Since the WLI's launch in the fall of 2009, a key focus has been the project's education and training components. A June 2010 workshop, for instance, explored ways to improve graduate-level university training in agriculture in the seven participating countries. The new training will focus on agriculture, water, and related areas as well teaching methodologies. Among the various technical concerns that WLI participants have identified are saline soils, improved, water-saving irrigation methods, and reusing waste water. Other training will help Middle East university instructors to broaden their teaching skills, such as by learning to use online distance education technology.
Another concern for the Middle East universities and extension services will be to include more women in the training for farmers. "Often because of cultural concerns," said Sandra Russo, Director of Program Development of the International Center at the University of Florida, "that hasn't been done much before in the Middle East. For example, you can call a meeting but only men will attend. The men may or may not share the new information they've learned with their wives."
In seeking support for WLI from within USAID, Scott Christiansen emphasized that WLI fits into the major foreign policy initiatives of President Obama and the U.S. Congress, such as the Senator Paul Simon Water for the Poor Act and Feed the Future. It also aligns with plans that USAID and the U.S. State Department have to establish a new scientific center for excellence on water in the Middle East.
"Over the next 10 years," said Christiansen, "there is a need to build a new generation of water and land management specialists in the Middle East who can better link new research findings with farmers' adaptation and utilization of that new knowledge."
Achieving that vision could go a long way toward resolving the issue of scarce water supplies for agriculture in the Middle East.

I didn't know what to expect when I decided to attend opening night of Gadfly Theatre Productions' rendition of Qui Nguyen's She Kills Monsters, performed at Gadfly's new space in the Fox Egg Gallery and directed by Immanuel Elliot. The basic premise is that when Agnes's much younger sister dies, she discovers things she did not know about her sibling via a Dungeons & Dragons notebook she left behind. But I quickly realized that it is about much more than a girl who plays D&D.
The cast of She Kills Monsters marvelously tells the story of a young girl who uses a role-playing game to live out the parts of her life she wishes were different. Agnes (Morgen Chang) seeks the help of a local dungeon master, Chuck (Justin Betancourt), to explain the book written by her late sister, Tilly (Mindy Vang). Betancourt's hilarious portrayal of Chuck is spot-on for a stereotypical DM, and Chang and Vang perfectly display the rapport expected between sisters with a large age gap. Add believable supporting characters, amusing puppetry, great costuming, and superb stage combat, and you have the makings of an entertaining yet emotional performance. I appreciate the fact that I had no idea what the overall message of the play was going to be until I experienced it myself. If it's possible for you to attend without knowing any spoilers, I recommend it.
Gadfly made great use of a small space at the Fox Egg Gallery. There are not a ton of seats, so if you plan to attend, get your tickets early. You may also want to leave the little ones with a sitter, since this show does have some adult humor and language. I brought along my 12-year-old and his friend, and they both thoroughly enjoyed the show—in fact, the minute it was over, my son asked to see it again.
She Kills Monsters runs through October 16th at the Fox Egg Gallery in Minneapolis. More information and tickets can be found on the Gadfly Theatre Productions website or Facebook page.

What have we lived for ? The answer for it varies from person to person. The longing for love, the search for knowledge, and the unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind, that's what Bertrand Russell answered. Perhaps a flat light life with relaxing afternoon tea, or comfortable carefree career?
No need to be so lofty. The original idea was simple —— make a game while young and enthusiastic in spare time. If lucky enough with the product, that's good; if unlucky, it's still OK for what we have learned and experienced. Since there's nothing to lose, the proposal was accepted immediately.
A team was gathered at once. Separated tasks on project planning, game designing, UI & Art designing and app programming were then assigned to skilled partners, the right role does the right thing. Besides, we invited ET, the co-founder of eumlab.com , as our music producer to compose wonderful original music for the game. Every member of us was carefully selected. We all love game and are passionate on our project. Although we do it in spare time, the progress is still satisfactory. We named the team OCDOM—— it is an onomatopoeia which represents the sound of a kind of clockwork warrior.
We are not novices in iOS app developing, but what we face now is a totally different app genre, and developing an independent game is still a great challenge for all of us. Do it blindly, or do it well prepared, of course we chose the latter. We consulted with some experienced iOS game developers and benefited greatly from them such as how to run a project efficiently and what the current iOS game market is like. We discussed on the most popular games and finally decided to develop a simulation game. The simulation game is not as flooding as other games such as common strategy games or card games, and the needed numerical relationship and logic system is just what we are skilled at during previous works. So the project started, Truck World is the name of the creation.
The Truck World is set in continent of European where players act the part of the boss of a truck freight company. At the beginning there's only one green hand driver and a small truck to assign. As the game goes on, more money is earned to promote the business so more advanced drivers trucks and different cities are available. With good operating strategy the company may grow stronger, even monopolize the entire trucking industry. The fun of the game mainly comes from that process. In addition, there are also other unique designs to make the game interesting and amusing.
The developing progress is now drawing nearer to an end and the preview of the game is due soon. We can't predict how the game will be in vast app game market in future, but we do our best to create such a game with touchable sincerity, love and passion.

Because God knows us each individually and perfectly, He can speak to us in the ways that work best for our individual preferences, gifts, and learning styles. One thing that is unique to the way He speaks to me, is that after I've received the same prompting around three times, the Spirit will impress my mind with something like this: "This is the last time I'm going to tell you this." I guess I forgot to put procrastination on my list of reasons why I ignore God. I have learned through these experiences, that when I receive that message, I need to act or the opportunity will pass. Usually I listen in these moments. When I think back over these times, it seems that this mostly happens when the Spirit is reminding me of something. Which makes sense. He's not my day planner, after all.
Still, there are other times when the Spirit uses patience and gentle persuasion over an extended period of time in getting me to do something. For over a year now, I have received countless impressions to keep a record of my life. I've pretty much ignored this one. This time, there is no mistaking the clear impressions I've received. They just keep coming in miraculous and consistent ways. I suppose it's mostly a mixture of fear and making excuses this time. I write in a journal sometimes, but honestly the only people to see that will be my posterity. I feel as though God wants me to write to a broader audience, and I don't know why, but I'm ready to stop ignoring Him on this one.
What does that mean for my blog? It won't be mostly about reading and writing anymore. It will be eclectic because I'm a bit all over the place. I'll be blogging about my faith, my family, my educational pursuits, my leisure, my philosophical genius (indulge me on this one), my poetry, my books that I get to write in the wee small hours of whenever, homeschooling, my love of finding dead people, and just about anything I'm up to.
These are pictures of a book that is a compilation of the journal entries of one of my ancestors. He inspires me, and I hope to have written as much as he did when all is said and done. This life deserves to be remembered. Do you keep a journal?

Free Ivory Coast union leader Basil Mahan Gahé!
The following appeal is from the international union confederation the IUF.
On April 26, Basil Mahan Gahé, general secretary of the national trade union center Dignité, was arrested at his Abidjan home and taken into detention. The union office was sacked, and many union officers have gone into hiding. Since then, the IUF and other international and national trade unions, including the Ivory Coast's national center UGTCI as well as the Director General of the ILO, have contacted the government authorities to demand his release and guarantees of his physical wellbeing.
To date, the government has refused to respond, or even to disclose the charges on which he is being held. Basil Mahan Gahé's only contact with the outside world has been a brief visit from the Red Cross.
Act now! - use the form below to send a message to President Ouattara (with copies to Ivory Coast embassies in France and Belgium) calling for the immediate and unconditional release of Basil Mahan Gahé.
The Letter: Please go to this link to send a message to the President of the Ivory Coast
To Mr. Alassane Ouattara, President of Ivory Coast
(copies to the Ambassadors of Ivory Coast in Belgium/France)
Dear President Ouattara,
On April 26, Basil Mahan Gahé, general secretary of the national trade union center Dignité, was arrested at his Abidjan home and taken into detention. The union office was sacked, and many union officers have gone into hiding.
According to our information, he is being held by police in the Williamsville quarter of Abidjan
We are deeply concerned for his safety and physical integrity, and by the government's failure to date to respond to numerous interventions on his behalf, including from the Director General of the ILO. Basil Mahan Gahé's detention is a violation of international law and of your own commitment to national reconciliation, and I accordingly demand his immediate and unconditional release as well as firm guarantees for his physical safety. I will closely follow your government's actions in this regard.
Yours sincerely

Doctor Kirby O'Neil is a psychologist and the father of April O'Neil in the 2012 TV series. He was mutated into a mutant bat in the season 2 premiere, then returned to normal in The Lonely Mutation of Baxter Stockman, and got mutated again in the Season 2 Finale, and cured again in season 3's Battle for New York, Part 2 episode.
As a human, Kirby is bald yet has some orange hair and a beard. He has blue eyes and wears a brown jacket with a grey undershirt, along with tan pants and brown shoes.
In his mutated form, Kirby had a large, misshapen head with a large green vein running down it. His red beard was still present. His ears looked like bat wings. He had green eyes, a flattened bat nose and razor sharp teeth. He was covered with orange fur on his lower body down to his legs. His right arm was small while his left was normal size. He had a long purple and green vein running down his body. He had long purple wings with an arm attached to the top of each. Each hand had claws. He also had a short tail.
In this version April father is still alive and named Kirby O'Neil in the 2012 animated series, but is no antique dealer but instead a scientist of psychology and a widower, which The Kraang kidnapped, who after the death of his wife had to raise his daughter April alone.
Rise of the Turtles, Part 1
When the turtles are out in the city for the first time, they witness Kirby and April being abducted by the extradimensional Kraang. Because the aliens wanted to use April's unusual psychic abilities to colonize the Earth. The turtles attempted to save them, but due to their inability to work as a team, the Kraang escape with them. Later, when the turtles find Snake and question him about the mutagen and why the O'Neil's were taken, they believe that Kirby is being used to help the Kraang. Once they break into the Kraang's lair, they manage to save April, but were unable to get Kirby.
The Gauntlet
Kirby sends Pete to deliver a message to April warning her to get out of the city. Instead, April and the Turtles get Pete to take them to where the Kraang are holding Kirby in order to rescue him. Kirby recognizes the Turtles and tells them what little he knows about the Kraang and their mutagen. The rescue mission is interrupted when Donatello discovers the Kraang have set a time bomb to disperse mutagen over the city. The Turtles free Kirby from his cell, but the Kraang soon corner them. Kirby takes one of the Kraang's guns and attacks the droids, telling the Turtles to save April and the city. He covers their escape, and is last seen being disarmed and re-captured by the Kraang.
April reveals what kind of scientist her father is; a psychologist. This means Kirby does not have the type of skills or knowledge the Kraang would find useful. Just when Raphael wonders why the Kraang would kidnap him in the first place, Donatello reveals that Kirby wasn't their real target. Instead, it was April the Kraang wanted, and they're still looking for her. It's not known why April is the Kraang's primary target or if Kirby knows why the Kraang are after his daughter.
Operation: Break Out
He sends April a coded message, which Donatello decodes. He mentions that he was moved to a different location and includes the coordinates. Donatello goes to the lab and manages to break him out, but he also lets loose a giant salamander monster. Kirby and the turtles manage to avoid the Kraang and defeat the Newtralizer and successfully escape. Once they are back at the sewer he is reunited with April. At the end of the episode, he and April hug each other and he evilly looks up, indicating something is wrong. The exemption was part of a perfidious plan of the Shredder, who had now joined with the Kraang in an alliance against the Turtles.
Showdown, Part 1
The Kraang control Kirby into handing April over to Karai and the Foot Soldiers who then hand her over to them on the surface. In "Showdown, Part 2", the Turtles discover the mind-control device the Kraang gave Kirby on the back of Kirby's neck and free him and give them important information about the plans of Kraang Prime, the top leader of the Kraang, the information gave is what led to the defeat of the first invasion.
The Mutation Situation
The long imprisonment had caused major trauma to O'Neil, and his desire to protect his daughter from harm, thus has become an obsession. In When the Turtles finally learned of a new plan of Kraang and asked April for assistance they had to trick her father to let them take her out of the house her father. Kirby has been having recurring nightmares about the Kraang and helps April to track the stealth ship. But on this occasion it happened that the Turtles in their imprudence caused a whole load of mutagen, which the Shredder wanted the Kraang to deliver, to rain down on the city. When a mutagen canister falls off the ship and towards April. Kirby protects April from it and falls off of the roof of the building. As a result of Kirby falling past a bunch of bats, Kirby mutates into a grotesque mutant bat with a large head. Michelangelo tries to call him "Wingnut" as a nickname, but is scolded for his insensitivity. Although his human intellect has been largely suppressed by the effects of the mutagen, O'Neil's protectiveness towards his daughter remained, and he therefore sought to continue to keep his daughter from harm. During the fight, the Turtles direct him into the warehouse where he is caged. When April catches up, Michelangelo unknowingly mentioned how the falling mutagen canisters was an accident on their part during their fight with the Kraang. Kirby breaks free and flies away to an unknown destination in the nocturnal New York. The mutation of Kirby had put a temporary strain in April's friendship with the Turtles.
Metalhead Rewired
Kirby's mutated form was among the mutants that were captured by the Kraang. With help from Metalhead, the Turtles were able to free Kirby and the other mutants from the Kraang and were able to escape through the portal.
The Lonely Mutation of Baxter Stockman
Kirby turns back into a human by getting hit with the last drop of Retro-Mutagen that Donnie managed to finally create.
The Invasion, parts 1 and 2
He stresses about the Kraang invasion, then as he, Turtles, April, and Casey go to make their escape, he introduces them to his Party Wagon. Before he can leave with the team, though, he is blasted with the perfected mutagen by Kraang, and once again mutated this time into a half Kraang monstrosity.
Return to New York
He makes a Cameo at the end of the episode where it is seen that he is in Dimension X along with the millions of other people that were mutated and taken prisoner. He is finally seen serving the Kraang by collecting special crystals and other resources [while also being mind-controlled by them as well].
Battle for New York, Part 2
After the Turtles and Mutanimals saved many lives in New York, cured him and the rest of the enslaved civilians with newly improved Retro Mutagen, and teleports back to the city, switching locations with the remaining Kraang, he is last seen reuniting with his daughter once again.
Casey Jones VS. The Underworld
He is seen alongside his daughter volunteering at a soup kitchen as they help serve and feed the populace of New York City.
The Deadly Venom
Watching his daughter upstairs by a window who just returned from a movie with Casey Jones. After April went to bed, Kirby heard her scream and found her on the ground with a snake slithering away and informs the Turtles she has been poisoned by a snake. He then helps Splinter heal her and shows him his gratitude afterwards.
Annihilation Earth! Part 1
He is seen panicking from the Triceratons message to end the Kraang and destroy Earth.
Kirby is seen paying his respect at Splinter's grave with the others characters.
Kirby seems to be smart and very protective of his daughter whenever her safety is threatened. He also acts very selflessly as he sacrificed his freedom to save the turtles and his daughter, so that they could save New York City from the Kraang's mutagen bomb. After "Operation: Break Out" it is revealed that he was brainwashed by the Kraang. Even after his mutation, he is shown to still care about April, having brought her food. Kirby can also be very overprotective and defensive of his daughter, as seen in episodes like "The Mutation Situation" and "The Deadly Venom".
- He is most likely named after legendary comic book artist, Jack Kirby, whose name was also given to the character Kirby from the Mirage comics and 2003 TV series. Though his appearance (and his profession as a scientist) faintly resembles August O'Neil's from the 2003 TV series.
- In the episode "The Mutation Situation", Mikey calls him Wingnut, as a reference to the classic character.
- Despite appearing in two more episodes, Kirby's last episode where he had a speaking role was in "The Deadly Venom".

Miami Digs: the SLS franchise spreads to BRICKELLPosted by Michael Yablonicky in Uncategorized | May 22, 2013
The SLS flag being touted as the hotel component to the newest Related Group project is sure to contribute to a fairly quick sell-out of the project. The project will come out of the ground at 1300 South Miami Avenue in Brickell. This is the corner of South Miami Avenue and 13th Street just east of the Infinity at Brickell Tower.
The SLS Hotel brand has become one of America's hottest, hippest and famous lifestyle brands in many years. With locations in Beverly Hills, Las Vegas, New York and South Beach, SLS is about style, being seen and living well. It's where today's crowd wants to be.
We are pleased to announce that the SLS brand will soon appear in Downtown Miami in a new mega-tower, with an SLS hotel on lower floors and private condo residences on the upper floors. What more could you ask for?
This is NOT a Condo Hotel. The ground level will feature retail and three on-site restaurants including world-renowned Katsuya by Stark, Bazaar by Jose Andres and something from Michel Schwartz of Michael's Genuine in Miami's Design District. Really amazing names! The SLS Hotel will begin at the lobby level and go up to the 9th floor which will feature an elevated 200 ft. long pool, spa deck and amenities such as the HYDE Bar and Lounge and CIEL Spa.
Living at the SLS Hotel and Residences on Brickell opens you up to a world of amenities and services that we do not normally see in Miami. Just look at the list of planned restaurants and bars that will be in residence:
Katsuya (Currently in South Beach)
Restaurant by Michael Schwartz, chef of the renowned Michael's Genuine
Bazaar by Jose Andres (Currently in South Beach)
Hyde Bar (Currently in South Beach)
Of course, you an expect an array of lifestyle amenities, including the CIEL SPA, fitness center, private (residence only) rooftop pool and more.
The residential condo units begin on the 10th floor and go up to floor 51 and then of course is the PH level. There are 11 units planned per floor and range in size from a one bedroom plus den with approx 717 square feet up to a three bedroom plus den with just over 1500 square feet. PH units are currently being designed. Residents will have access to many of the Hotel facilities as well as a Residents Only rooftop pool.
As in recently sold out project in Brickell the Deposit Structure will be as follows:
10% at Reservation – ASAP, likely March
10% at Contract – estimated to be 3 months after Reservation period
10% at Ground Breaking – estimated to be 3 months after Contract period
10% at 25th Floor – estimated to be 10 months after Ground Breaking
10% at Building Top Off – estimated to be 8 months after previous payment
50% at Closing
Please contact us directly to be registered for the best unit selection text or call Michael direct at 305-467-7204 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com

Bubbling with nervous intelligence and wearing angst like a chic shroud, Jesse Eisenberg is an actor who hardly needs to be duplicated. Pretty much on his own, he survived Brooklyn puberty in The Squid and the Whale, fought off undead hordes in Zombieland and is set to go mainstream playing the villainous Lex Luthor in Zack Snyder's Batman vs. Superman. One Mark Zuckerberg, as Eisenberg incarnated the Facebook founder in The Social Network, was more than a match for both Winklevoss twins.
Yet here the actor is as the wage slave Simon James in The Double: a cipher to his coworkers, an unplaceable face to his boss (Wallace Shawn) at the office where Simon has worked efficiently for seven years, noticed but not embraced by the lovely blond Anna (Mia Wasikowska) who works with him and lives across a high-rise courtyard from him. The doors of trains and elevators peremptorily shut on Simon — a castration mechanism, and proof as well that even an electronic eye cannot detect his existence. He's a nobody. So what's nobody times two? In this movie's strange mathematics, the answer is Somebody. Somebody else, who is neither crippled by loneliness nor fettered by scruple: Simon James' double, James Simon. Two Jesse-Jameses.
The Dostoevsky novella served as the official source of Bernardo Bertolucci's 1968, barricades-busting Partner, and has also inspired dozens of doppelgänger movies, from Fight Club to the recent Enemy, Denis Villeneuve's drab drama starring Jake Gyllenhaal as a pair of strangers no one could tell apart. A literary theme that almost all of us can recognize — our wish for a more confident, successful and loved version of ourselves, and our suspicion that we're stuck with who we are — is played for creepy deadpan humor in this second feature adapted and directed by the Brit TV luminary Richard Ayoade. If the movie were half of a Double double feature with Enemy, it would be the top half: the one people like better.
(READ: Corliss on the two Jake Gyllenhaals in Enemy)
After serving as president of the Cambridge University Footlights Dramatic Club (where John Oliver of The Daily Show and Last Week Tonight was his vice president), Ayoade won fame as the smart, clumsy techie Maurice Moss on The IT Crowd, which ran for five seasons on Channel 4 and later in the U.S. on IFC. His first feature, the 2010 Submarine, transformed Joe Dunthorne's alienated-teen novel into pure movie delight. From a sympathetic distance, Ayoade sketched another young fellow who feels the world only sees him when it underestimates him.
The Double, which Ayoade adapted with Avi Korine, reconvenes all the leading players of Submarine (Craig Roberts, Yasmin Paige, Noah Taylor, Sally Hawkins, Paddy Considine) in supporting roles, and extends the misfit-male trope of the earlier film to harrowing heights and suicidal depths.
(READ: What made Richard Ayoade's Submarine soar)
From the first scene, Simon gets no respect. Riding in a nearly empty train car, he is approached by a man (possibly his double) who informs him, "You're in my place," and cows Simon into sitting elsewhere. Simon can't get the security guard he sees each day to recognize him — perhaps because, as his coworker Harris (Taylor) tells him, "You're pretty unnoticeable. Bit of a nonperson." Only Anna pays occasional attention. She, too, feels alone, taking selfies that she tears into pieces and throws down the trash chute. Simon, watching her through his telescope, then riffles through the refuse to retrieve the photos, paste them back together and put them in the saddest of all Valentine's books.
The appearance of James Simon at the office, and his instant acceptance by everyone there, will underline Simon James' inability to be his most attractive self. The two look exactly the same and wear identical beige suits; yet the other employees don't recognized the similarity, because James carries himself with breezy authority, and Simon is the invisible man. Simon does all the work while James appropriates his ideas, getting the credit and the promotions, as well as the ardor of every male and female — including Anna, who may eventually join Simon as one of James' victims.
(READ: The precocious gravity of Mia Wasikowska)
Unlike Submarine, Ayoade's new film makes little attempt to ingratiate. Simon's ordeal is a spectacle, not a tragedy meant to sear the viewer's soul; it's less psychological than satirical. The Double also borrows narrative and visual cues from such fables of persecution as Orson Welles' The Trial (based on the Kafka novel) and Terry Gilliam's Brazil. As envisioned by Ayoade and production designer David Crank, the office décor and its fixtures — adding machines with no numbers — suggest what a workplace might look like if the Soviet Union had won the Cold War in the '50s or '60s and imposed its oppressive drabness worldwide. There's never enough light, except when Simon is assaulted by a harsh overhead glare, getting the third degree from his tormentors. The humor is equally dark: you're meant to take pleasure from the intricate, impish care with which Ayoade has designed Simon's dungeon.
On a visit to a nursing home — for which Simon is of course being overcharged — his aged, vacant mother (Phyllis Somerville) says dreamily, "That used to be my favorite song"; and the son sharply replies, "There is no song. And you hate music." But The Double sound track has several lovable Asian oldies, from '60s pop star Kyu Sakamoto (remember "Sukiyaki"?), the '70s Japanese pop group The Blue Comets and the Korean singer Kim Jung-mi. These vintage melodies haunt the moviegoer, and provide a wistful sound track that might be playing in the mind of Simon — the man whose double doubles his pain.

None of us are under the impression that local news writing is particularly clever or inspired, but Conan O'Brien's recurring segment busting local news anchors across the country for using the same contrived line when intro-ing the same contrived story over and over is becoming a serious indictment of whatever the hell is your mom is subjecting herself to every night.
Honestly, I'm fairly amazed how long this goes on. Like, not even mad I'm so amazed. As our friends at AV Club note, there are plenty of reasons why this phenomenon takes place, but that doesn't make this any less painful to watch.

As my interests continue to go back to food, I particularly notice food cultures of places where I have lived (or even visited). Here in Nepal the kids eat a large 'brunch' around 9:00 before school (which begins at 10:30). This food will hold them over until a small snack, which they eat around 1:30ish. They will not have another full meal until the evening meal around 8:00pm. Upon first glance, this seems like they are not getting enough to eat, but by looking further at WHAT they eat, these children are sooo healthy on the inside.
These children do not eat processed foods, chips, cookies, twinkies, microwaveable foods, etc. (Besides the random Cheezy Poof!) There is no sugary cereal or pop tarts in the morning to give them a quick high before school. There is thankfully no fast food either. Here the children eat pure brain food! They drink milk, pure milk from grazing animals that get their own nutrition from organic grass that grows from god's good earth. They don't drink a 'westernized' milky liquid resembling pure milk, which, once upon a time, wasn't bad for you, but today if the Dairy Industry was required to list all the possible ingredients that are in their milk (from the antibiotics and other drugs given to the cows to the pesticide/insecticide sprayed corn that the cows are forced to eat, etc.) the list of ingredients would take up the whole label.
The rural children of Nepal that I am around have rice, lentils, vegetable, potatoes and often beans, chick peas and very occasionally chicken or fish. There is no arguing about what's for dinner. This is your meal and you eat it because the next meal won't come for awhile. There certainly are unhealthy children and adults in Nepal as well; but they are unhealthy because they are poor and their family cannot purchase the foods that their body needs, they are not unhealthy because they are eating tons of foods with little or no nutritional value.
On a side note, I find it particularly irritating that my Microsoft word program recognized the word twinkie and actually red-lined it because I didn't spell it with a capital letter! I thought capital letters were to be used for 'important words'. I remember writing my MA thesis, "Structural Violence and the Ethics of Eating" and every time I wrote down any fast food chain (need I mention names?) the word program recognized if I spelled it wrong or the infamous 'capital letter conundrum'. In my world, the word twinkie and names of fast food chains will never ever deserve a capital letter.

I spoke with my newest cuckold last week. It's been about 7 months since his wife put his dick up and started playing with younger, hotter guys. Things are going well for wifey- like me, she's decided to have a main guy she sees regularly. Vegan Cuck has met the other man a few times and things are going well. V C mentioned it could be a gearing up for him to get the green light to watch his wife and her lover fucking. Exciting isn't it?!
I enjoy being a cuckold cheerleader. I also love giving advice and insight when cucks are unsure about their girlfriends or wives. It gives me a chance to reflect on the amazing journey Dante, Brooks and I have been on. Speaking of, everything is going well. Our three schedules have been crazy and not lining up very well over the last two months. But when we all do it together it's A LOT of fun!
Any other wanna-be, current or past cuckolds want to talk to me about their experiences give me a call!

Title: So Much For That
Author: Lionel Shriver
Published: Harper Collins, 2010
Shep Knacker has long saved for 'the Afterlife', an idyllic retreat in the Third World where his next egg can last forever. Exasperated that his wife, Glynis, has concocted endless excuses why it's never the right time to go, Shep finally announces he's leaving for a Tanzanian island, with or without her. Yet Glynis has some news of her own: she's deathly ill. Shep numbly puts his dream aside, while his nest egg is steadily devastated by staggering bills that their health insurance only partially covers. Astonishingly, illness not only strains their marriage but saves it.
From acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Lionel Shriver comes a searing, ruthlessly honest novel. Brimming with unexpected tenderness and dry humour, it presses the question: How much is one life worth?
You know that moment when you want something so bad, and you've put it off and put it off for ages because it doesn't fit with the rest of the people in your life? Then you decide – screw it. Screw what everyone else wants, this is mine. I want this. So you decide that you're going to do it. For you. It's right within your reach. You can taste it. Then when you tell your wife that's it – I'm going – she replies with "I'm dying". It's like a giant cosmic "Ha! You lose!"
This is the position Shep finds himself in. He's been saving and living the minimalist life for his entire life, in preparation for a quiet retirement in a Tanzanian island, and as soon as he decides to bite the bullet and just go, life kicks him in the knackers. (See what I did there?? Yep.)
This book is an interesting look at the American health system from a couple of perspectives. Glynis has lung cancer. Shep used to own his own business, but sold it to a moron who changed the health benefits to a company that provides for nothing. So his savings dwindle, scan by drug by hospital stay. For what? Will she live? Will this work? Add to this his overly entitled sister Beryl – who feels like life (and Shep) owes her a living.
Then there's Jackson and Carol, and their daughter Flicka. Flicka has familial dysautonomia, and so they've been contending with the American health system for her entire life. Then Jackson goes and gets surgery, unnecessary elective surgery, and… well, lets just say provides some comic relief. In a not very funny way – more sad. Now, I live in Australia, and we've got a pretty good health system, comparatively. Room for improvement, sure. But on the surface, functional and accessible for everyone. Equal. Reading this book makes me very glad for that. Having to shell out money for each and every blood test, scan, night in hospital, and health insurance companies looking for reasons to not pay out? Please, someone tell me the American health system isn't as bad as I hear!
Shriver also explores love – between siblings, spouses, kids, friends. Shep learns a lot over the course of the book, about what means the most to him, how to deal with family, and in life, what is important, and how to stand up for himself. I really liked this book, for me another win from Shriver. She writes well, and is easy to read.
I totally recommend if you enjoy reading about heavier topics – family issues, health, money troubles.

He writes troubleshooting content and is the General Manager of Lifewire. Updated May 30, 2019 The default password for both versions of the Linksys EA6500 router is admin. As with most passwords, the EA6500 default password is case sensitive. Some Linksys routers don't need a username when you first log in, but the EA6500 has a default username, and it's the same as the password: admin. The Linksys EA6500 router's default IP address is the same as most Linksys routers: 192.168.1.1. This device's model number is EA6500, but it is often marketed as the Linksys AC1750 router. When the Default Password Doesn't Work At some point during the life of your particular Cisco Linksys EA6500 router, the default password was probably changed, which is a good thing, and you may have forgotten what it was changed to. No worries, you can just restore the software on the EA6500 to its default state to restore the default password. How to Restore to Factory Defaults You usually restore a router using a special button or sequence of actions. Here's how it's done on the Linksys EA6500: With the router plugged in and powered on, turn it around so that you have full access to the back. With a paperclip or something else thin and pointy, press down on the Reset button for 5 to 10 seconds and hold it down until the network cable lights flash at the same time. Remove the power cable from the router for 10 to 15 seconds and then plug it back in. Give the Linksys EA6500 30 seconds to fully boot back up before continuing. Make sure all the cables are still attached and then turn the router back around to its normal position. With the EA6500 reset to factory defaults, you can log in at http://192.168.1.1 with the default username and password (both are admin). Make sure to change the default router password on your EA6500 to something more secure as soon as you're in. Then, use a free password manager so you'll never forget your new password. At this point, now that the Cisco Linksys EA6500 has been reset, any custom settings you entered into the router have been flushed out and need to be re-entered. This means the wireless network SSID and password are gone, any custom DNS server settings have been removed, and port-forwarding details are gone. I Can't Access My Router The EA6500 router is typically accessed through its IP address, which is http://192.168.1.1. However, this address can be changed, so if you can't access the Linksys EA6500, you must first find the IP address it's using. It's pretty easy to do so as long as you have access to a computer that's currently connected to the router. Firmware and Manual Download Links Every support document and the recent firmware downloads for the EA6500 router are located on the official Linksys EA6500 AC1750 Support page of the Linksys website. Both versions of this router use the same user manual, which you can download as a PDF file. Make sure you get the firmware that goes with your specific router. There are two hardware versions of the EA6500—version 1 and version 2—which means there are two different firmware downloads shown on the EA6500 Downloads page. Continue Reading

I lived and moved with the world for a long time. For far too long, my feet fit in the shoes society handed to me, my stride agreeing with the rhythm culture had constructed. I might of told you Jesus was there too and, looking back, I know He was. I'd let you know I never let Him past the walls I built around me, though. I kept like that for years.
Eighteen years, actually. But, at year eighteen, something changed. The world didn't fill me like I'd always expected it to. I cried out for something more. I yearned for something different. To love boldly but to be loved even bolder, to find something that mattered more than this life. Little did I know that I was crying out to God. Little did I know that the walls I put up never kept Him out. I cried out to God and I found myself already in His arms. It was a game changer to find Him. At the time I had been making college plans for the year to come. I had a full ride and guaranteed job placement post-graduation, everything I could ask for. But the moment I found myself in the arms of God, I changed route immediately. I became a missionary.
Without knowing what I was getting myself into, I hopped on a plane to Amsterdam where I learned about who the Lord is. I learned of unconditional love and abounding grace. I came alive in a way I didn't know I could. This love story was transformative. Knowing Jesus was metamorphic. I found myself immersed in a joy I couldn't help but share. My heart learned of a love it couldn't contain. I wanted more and more people to know about this Jesus I'd met. I needed to tell the world. I spent three months in Amsterdam before I hopped on another plane to Southeast Asia. There, I spent another three months working with local ministries in Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos. I shared the Christmas story in a closed country on Christmas day. I saw people who refused the idea of any God be healed of lifelong pains and change their minds. I met trafficked women and together, we redefined their definition of love. Jesus moved like a wildfire throughout Asia in a million different ways. It was unlike anything else I've experienced.
After my time in Asia came to a close, I returned to America, but found that God didn't want me to stay put for long. In only a month I will be returning to Amsterdam as a full time missionary. By doing so, I hope to aid people from around the world in going through the same transformation I did. My main focus will be staffing an Arts + Missions Training School. Through this, my heart is to see young artists collide with the love of God in order to make Him known. The weekdays will be spent arranging lectures for students where they'll learn about the world of missions and arts place in it. Together, we will minister to Amsterdam's homeless, tourists, those in the Red Light District, and more. From there, I will lead a three month cross-cultural outreach to somewhere in the nations. There we will put into practice all the students learned by partnering with local ministries and introducing people who never knew Him before to God. Aside from that, I will be serving a local missions base and the people living there or coming through.
I'm giddy over it all; however, there's a few steps to take before booking a one way to Amsterdam. The biggest thing being that the Dutch government requires a minimum of a $1500 monthly income BEFORE I'm able to arrive in their country. As a missionary, paychecks don't exist; so, I'm looking for a team of people willing to join me financially, prayerfully, and relationally. Before anything else, I'm searching for the church to back me up.
More and more I'm realizing that we see God move in miraculous ways when the church rallies together for His glory. I want people who believe in that to embark on this journey with me. If that's you, if you are willing and feel called to join my team as a one time giver or a monthly donor, I would be thrilled. I so look forward to welcoming you in and bringing you along. I never could have expected this calling placed on my life, and for that, I know it's only by the grace of God that it comes to fruition.
A year ago God was a stranger. Today He's a friend I can't wait for the world to meet. I want to introduce everybody I see to Him. My stride matched with the world's for far too long. I believe mine has changed so others can as well.

Let me first say that if you have the time to make a "real" margarita, go directly to my other recipe, "Classic Texas Margarita"— it takes a bit of prep work, but it's the bee's knees and possibly the best margarita you'll even taste! With that said, here's a cheap & easy recipe you can make in a jiffy. And while this one lacks the vibrant complexity of all those fresh juices in the "Classic Texas Margarita" recipe, you'll be laid back with your mind on your money and your money on your mind... sans the gin of course!
- Active Time
- A few minutes
- Total Time
- A few minutes
- 2 ounces Limeade (I like the "Simply" brand)
- 1/2 ounce Orange Juice
- 1 ounce Tequila (I like Sauza Hornitos)
- 1/2 ounce Cointreaux (or other orange liqueur)
- Shake with ice, then serve!

We currently are using Hex-Huts at the Albian Sands Shell mine,for our welding applications. I highly recommend using these "Engineered Structures". They are a great solution to our harsh climates. Keeping our labour force warm and out of the elements,is essential to our safety and elevated production quota. Also Pam is fantastic in the renting,buying process,and with continued customer support after the client has been using the product for any duration,She makes the process smooth and uncomplicated. - North American Construction Group
Bob Lalonde, Superintendent
Parkland Pipeline Contractors have used the Hex Hut product now over the past 4 winters with great ease and success. The product provides us with the capabilities to weld and coat in tight areas under less than favorable conditions. Our crew(s) have commented on the ease of handling, set up, and dismantling. I would highly recommend this product to those is the pipeline business. - Parkland Pipeline Contractors
Derek Britton, Project Manager
I have been using Hex-Hut Shelter Systems on my projects for the last 4-5 years with great success. I am very impressed with how quickly they can be deployed and how safe they are to use. The use of these systems helped to significantly reduce costs with regard to skilled labor specifically scaffold, the scaffold crews were able to concentrate on the decking and the Hex-Hut's took care of the hoarding because everyone is qualified to set up a Hex-Hut and because it is so simple. The units are lightweight and very simple to set up. There were no issues keeping ahead of the welding crews even in the muskeg and on uneven ground. The ability of the systems to ventilate out the welding fumes, protect the people and the welding process from the elements is very impressive. For sheltering above ground pipeline construction there is nothing else that comes close to Hex- Hut. The systems lower risk, improve productivity, ensure quality and all of that helps to lower cost overall. - Flint Energy Services Ltd. - Devon Jackfish 2 Above Ground Pipeline
Blaire MacNeil, Project Manager
Hex-Hut improves crew efficiency, welding wait times and weld quality. In regard to safety, there is nothing better for welder/helper access and egress. The tents are large, soft, light and extremely forgiving for mobility while inside them. Ventilation is still maintained while draft is reduced to nearly zero. There is no compromise when it comes to our crew's safety and this product has helped our business maintain a TRIF of ZERO. Wind, moisture and consistent preheat temperatures all affect weld quality and are key factors within the welding process utilized in the fabrication and construction of high pressure/temperature steam lines. These tents mitigate risk and ensure having a minimum of failed welds. As well, the tents are easily moved from weld to weld with very little moving parts. They are durable and can be used for years without maintenance or repair under proper usage. These are facts that can be assigned a monetary figure in regards to time saved and money well spent. Efficiency is the motive.
On all of Revcon's future projects there will be no substitution for Hex-Huts. This is a product designed and engineered by experienced trades people, supported by excellent and accurate service and promoted by good people who make a difference within our business. This is a product we use to maintain "the leading quality contractor" status is such a competitive industry. We use what works, and these tents do! - Revcon Oilfield Constructors Ltd. – StatOil Hydro Leismer Project
David Szatkowski, Operations Manager
While consulting on a series of fabrication, modularization, and SAGD projects in the Alberta Region, I brought in Hex-Huts for my crews. We found the set-up quick and easy, and the structural integrity of this product held up consistently as we worked steadily through windy and wet conditions. The time savings along resulted in our ability to stay on, or ahead of schedule, which ultimately lowered cost for our clients. I'll recommend Hex-Hut on any future construction jobs where hoarding solutions are required. - Consultant - Fabrication, Modularization & SAGD Projects

Short of being married to a dentist who can give your teeth tender loving care on the daily, the next best thing to ensuring you have the freshest breath is remembering to clean thoroughly twice a day. Since marriage has a 50 percent rate of failure, instead of banking on marrying a dentist and stay married to him/her, it's probably easier to just invest in the Waterpik Showerpik. Sorry to be a party pooper, it's just statistics.
It may sound a little intense, but the device looks pretty cool. Billing itself as a "water flosser" (because regular floss is time consuming and gross), the Waterpik WP-480 uses pressurized stream of water to help give your mouth a supercharged rinse. The water pressure and pulsation is designed to clean off remaining bacteria left post-brushing, and is meant to be installed right in your shower so you can get your morning routine done in one fell swoop. Because it's attached to your shower head, the water supply is as unlimited as long as the water bill's paid and users won't need to constantly refill a reservoir. The device is rechargeable so no batteries are necessary, but you'll have to remember to keep it juiced up so it won't die in the middle of a wash.
Oral irrigators are effective in reducing gum disease and gingivitis. The design of a pressure water gun can also be useful in random other utilities, such as cleaning small jewelry. Just don't drop it down the drain!
The Waterpik is available now for $60. It does come with a tip cover to keep the mouthpiece clean, but you'll wanna rinse before use if it is going to be shared between housemates, or buy separate heads.
