Stacey shows you a simple way to add or replace rubber grommets to your project.
It's fun watching Stacey fixing some old trucks and putting it back together. You need to be a grease-monkey to have this kind of knowledge in automotive to keep Truck Exterior and keep its engine running forever.
Feb 24, 2012 06:53 pmthis has nothing to do with grommets,but it is a proven way to clean carbon in the combustion process.take 8oz's of cold tap water and add 1 table spoon of arm and hammer baking soda.mix well and slowly pour into running,engine at op temp, carb.hand throttle as it trys to kill engine.it will vaporize carbon instantly.valves,stems,chambers,intake will be spotless.cost pennies and keeps carbon at a minimum.about once every 3 months.i learned this from a mech,back in 1962.i have never harmed an engine.baking soda appears to keep the valves fron warping by keeping the steam produced at a lower temp.

DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Red Wings have slipped from being regarded as an elite NHL team, getting knocked out of the playoffs in the first round after consecutive second-round exits.
Just three years ago, the team was a win away from repeating as Stanley Cup champions and seemed set up to sustain the success it and its fans have gotten used to for a couple decades.
Detroit coach Mike Babcock believes a splash-making summer could restore the franchise's glory.
"We have tons of money and if we can use our cap space to get high-end free agents, we have a shot to get right back on top," Babcock said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press on Sunday, two days after Nashville eliminated Detroit. "If we're fortunate in free agency, we won't have to look at going in another direction.
"The standard here has always been to chase the Stanley Cup, so as a coach, I'm hoping the free-agent market helps us continue to have those goals."
The Red Wings led the NHL in points a couple months ago, but injuries to several players led to them slipping enough to be the fifth-seeded team in the Western Conference playoffs with a tough matchup against the fourth-seeded Predators.
"We never recovered," Babcock said. "We never really got Darren Helm back and that hurt the balance we had on our third and fourth lines. Teams could check Z (Henrik Zetterberg) and Pav (Pavel Datsyuk) like crazy and get away with it."
Detroit didn't have enough depth up front and had too many miscues on the back end against the Predators.
"When you make defensive mistakes and you don't score your problems are magnified," Babcock said.

The thermostat keeps the house at a constant temperature by regularly cycling through warming and cooling phases. One is the natural response to the other. Our natural heating and cooling phases are happening on a planetary scale, so it takes thousands of years to move through the phases to keep the thermostat regulated.

374 - Snakebites a public health problem in Africa
May 2011
One and a half million people per year are poisoned by snake venom in Sub-Saharan Africa. An IRD researcher recently analysed around 100 surveys and medical reports published over the past 40 years. No large-scale study of the situation had hitherto been conducted and public health authorities had underestimated the size of the problem. This means that currently only 10% of victims are treated, owing to a shortage of antivenoms * and lack of awareness among health care practitioners. Yet the clinical complications can be very serious, even fatal. A bite from a cobra or mamba can bring on death by asphyxia –due to respiratory paralysis– within 6h after the incident. Venom injected by the ocellated carpet viper, common in the African savannah, can cause haemorrhages leading to the victim's death in a few days.
This new study provides authorities with more detailed and reliable figures which should enable them to readjust their health-care services in better tune with needs.
373 - Increasing rice production using genes from the African species
May 2011
Rice is the world's most commonly used cereal food, feeding half of humanity. However, rice production will have to double within 20 years from now to meet the needs of a growing population.
Two species are used for cultivation, one Asian and the other African. The Asian species gives much stronger agronomic performances, but the African one is more rustic, more resistant to pathogens, more tolerant to drought and soil salinity.
With the aim of transferring these properties to Asian rice, IRD scientists and their research partners( 1) are seeking to overcome the sterility between the two species( 2). They used genome sequencing to compare the structure of a portion of chromosome, identified as the factor behind the reproductive barrier. These investigations, the first results of which were published recently in the journal PLoS One , have led to the definition of genetic markers allowing more rapid development of fertile lineages of improved Asian rice.

It's been more than a month since Jerry Mann's 9,000-acre farm has gotten rain, and when the 56-year-old Montana man examines the dry, shriveling kernels of wheat and barley, he's understandably nervous.
"We're looking at a 30-40 percent drop in the usual yield if we don't get some rain here real soon," he said.
The high Tuesday in Great Falls, Mont., is 95, a number that pales in comparison to the triple digits seen recently in other parts of the country, but presents major problems for its residents -- particularly those involved in agriculture.
With cooling temperatures in the South and Midwest, national attention has shifted to Arizona and California, where temperatures are well above 100.
But the real story is temperatures up to 15 degrees above normal in northwestern cities such as Great Falls, according to CNN meteorologist Sarah Dillingham.
Mann, 56, knows the land and knows the crops. He was born into farming, and on that land he's raised wheat, barley and a family.
A 30 percent to 40 percent drop in yield, of course, means a 30 percent to 40 percent drop in income.
"You worry," he said, sighing. "But there's nothing you can do about it."
The heat came early this year, but it isn't uncommon for Montana temperatures to swing wildly, said Great Falls Fire Chief Randall McCamley. It's one of the things he likes about Great Falls, where he has lived for 30 years.
"We can break a record high and a record low on the same day here," he said. "It keeps us guessing."

Hollywood comes to WSU
WSU to star in motion picture
Friday, July 20, 2012
By Darin Watkins, WSU News
Video by Matt Haugen, WSU News
Andy Garcia |
The movie is described as a once-in-a-lifetime love story that takes place when the main characters meet on a fictional campus called Middleton College, while taking their kids on a college admissions tour. WSU's unique architecture and traditional styling was described as being "picture perfect" for the project.
"We could have chosen (from) many many campuses," said the film's star Andy Garcia, who also is a co-producer on the film. "Washington State, that's why we're here. We wanted a certain look and a classic nature, and woodsy, so we're fortunate to be here, we appreciate it."
The film is directed by Adam Rodgers and co-produced by Glenn German who both co-wrote the script. The pair toured college campuses across the country before deciding on WSU, as well as adding in scenes from Gonzaga, and WSU Spokane.
"It's absolutely beautiful here at WSU," said Rodgers, "I've scouted all over the country. We were in Michigan, we were in Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, and all those places were lovely, but at the end of the day, I think we found the best spot possible."
The crew estimates it will spend $1.5-million in Eastern Washington for this project, hiring everything from film extras, to caterers, to production teams. While the sunny weather was a key factor in selecting this area, producers say Washington's Filmworks project played a key role, by giving a portion of the money spent back to the film's production.
"The state renewed their film incentive, which as you may know, gives us 30-percent back on all the money we spent on Washington labor and services, and that's a huge incentive to bring filming here," said German.
WSU alums will notice the differences in the film. For example in one scene, students run out of Stimson Hall to jump into a pond. What Coug fans will recognize immediately is that the pond is actually on the Gonzaga campus.
The movie is set to be released sometime in 2013, and both the producer and director would like to return to WSU with a copy for a private screening.
"We think it would be fun to come back here and talk with future filmmakers and writers about our project," said German.

The Week In Review: "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows"
I thought I knew what I was getting myself into with Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, which was something along the lines of the first one but with more explosions, bromance, and absurdities. Well, consider those boxes checked. What I wasn't expecting was that it would be, well, kind of good.
Don't let me mislead you. This isn't a searching examination of the human spirit, or even a really good action movie along the lines of The Dark Knight or The Fugitive. Instead, it's an extremely silly but also entertaining way to spend a couple of hours. Though the explosions and slow-motion actions scenes drag at times, they are, for the most part, judiciously employed, and Robert Downey Jr is as hammy as he was in the first go-'round. The plot, meanwhile, is ludicrous and often predictable, based on the efforts of Holmes's archnemesis James Moriarty to set off a world war so that he can sell weapons and other supplies to both sides. The fate of Europe hangs in the balance!
How is this different from The Three Musketeers, one of the year's most abominable films? Even the plots are similar: essentially, we're given the fact that there's going to be a big war unless our heroes sort things out. Both are steampunk period pieces, and both want us to take the respective protagonists as major ass-kickers. Yet for some reason it all works much better in Sherlock, and for two primary reasons that I can see: the villain is a match for the protagonists, and the rapport between the characters actually has some kind of weight. Sure, Noomi Rapace is entirely disposable (it's not clear why she had to be in this movie at all), and director Guy Ritchie, for whom the concept of subtlety has about the same level of importance that it does to Lady Gaga, never shies away from pointing out that Sherlock and Watson are all-caps BEST FRIENDS even when they proclaim their annoyance. For all that, though, there's a real sense of camaraderie between them, a sense that they have each other's back.
Perhaps what really makes the movie tick is the way that the heroes are juxtaposed with Moriarty, played with silky malevolence by Jared Harris. Where Watson and Holmes will risk everything to save each other's lives, Moriarty will risk nothing for anyone but himself, killing off his lieutenants when they fail him and promising Holmes early on that continued pursuit will result in collateral damage. And, though the film leans a bit too much on its chess metaphor, he's made to be an equal match for Holmes, which gives the climactic meeting between them a dramatic tension that you'd be hard-pressed to find in most contemporary blockbusters. In the first film, it seemed inevitable that Holmes and Watson would win through. In this film, things don't seem so certain, and that makes it that much more interesting.
This is, in other words, a satisfying popcorn movie, good for a couple of laughs, a couple of groans, and enough entertainment to make it worth the price of the ticket. If you manage your expectations, you won't be disappointed. There are no revelations about friendship or love or any of that nonsense to be had — only a bunch of explosions, and some share of fun.

I'll be dog sitting my friend's two lovely Golden Retrievers Twister & Monty for the next week! And when I'm taking care of those two cuties I realize just how much I would love to get a dog myself someday. However my tastes probably run towards a smaller, hopefully hypoallergenic breed…such as:
{Yorkshire Terrier}
{Morkie: Maltese and Yorkie Mix}
{Cavapoo: Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Poodle Mix}
{MaltiPoo: Maltese and Poodle Mix}
Are you a dog owner? Have any tips for someone considering taking on that responsibility?
One day, maybe, I'll have a sweet little puppy to call my own! Until then I'll just cuddle up to Twister & Monty!!

This juicer is surprisingly good quality for the price. I have used it 4 or 5 times. It juices perfectly and is surprisingly easy to clean and re-assemble. It has a huge reservoir for the peels, pulp, etc. and one can make many juices without having to empty the reservoir.
This machine is amazing. It takes a juicing or two to get used to it. Also, get some recommended juice recipes. I went al out with kale/garlic/celery and about gagged. I've incorporated fruits and serve the juice over a big glass of ice. The juicer does the job. It could get juice out of a box of tissues. There are many pieces to clean afterward but if you clean the juicer right away it's just a rinse job. I am impressed with this juicer. It's easy to use and effective.
I'm a novice juicer so the this juicer is just fine for me. I wasn't sure on how often I'd use it and didn't want to break the bank. This guy gets the job done. The grinder piece easily pops in and out of the motor making it very easy to assemble and clean. No tools necessary. Juices harder produce like apples, carrots, and beets easily and leaves the pulp rather dry. Stuff such as greens and cucumbers tend to still have a bit of juice left in them. Comes with a great little cup that catches the juice with a lid and a strainer type set-up for easy pouring and for keeping extra in the fridge. Sometimes the spinning grinder piece hits the main lid creating a loud cracking noise. It's usually only when its working harder on a large chunk of carrot, but you can see and feel the wear it that one spot. Nothing too major considering the price though. I juice 4 times a week on average and I've had it for about month.
I would definitely recommend this juicer. I use it everyday and get the same great results
This is a nice product however, the clean up is not. There are alot of parts to clean . Also, the juiceer is very noisy when in use. In addition, the unit is somewhat heavy. It does however, do a great job of juicing.
So far this has been an excellent juicer. I have juiced sweet potatoes, apples, pears, carrots, spinach, berries, lemons, chili peppers, tomatoes, bananas, and more. It did a decent job on all. There is some juice left in the pulp, but not much. Haven't had it for long though, so we'll see how it holds up.
great for the money lots of power easy to clean durable and sleek design would recomend to someone just starting to juice
This is my first juicer. It is doing what I need, though the pulp is not as dry as I was led to expect was noamal
Not enough power to really do the job. If you are into daily juicing buy a more powerful appliance.
I have had this juicer a little over a month, and it started smoking and the motor sounds like it is going to give out any time now! Not worth the money!!

Some of you have probably heard of the new pricing plan that is going to be launched sometime in the near future. This plan apparently involves charging an extra $1.95 per hour for the use of AOL chat rooms. Sounds a bit strange? Well,cons?'' ring that most people nre receiving the service for $19.95 per month for unlimited access, this means it is unlimited when they say it is. This is just the lip cf the iceberg. Three programmers that worked lor America Online were placed in charge of writing the new version of America Online software, AOL 4.0, and were terminated for what they found. Here is a copy of the letter they sent out: From a former AOL employee: 77/ try and cut through the crap and try to get to the point of this letter. I used to work for America Online, and would like to remain anonymous for that reason. / was laid off in early September, but I know exactly why / was laid off, which I will now explain: Since last December, I had been one of the many people assigned to design AOL 4.0 for Windows (AOL 4.0 beta code named Casablanca). In th^ beginning, / was very proud of this task, until I found out the true cost of it. Things were going fine until about mid-February, when me and 2 of my colleagues started to suspect a problem, an unexplainable 'Privacy Invasion* with the new version. One of them, who is master programmer, copied the finished portion of the new version (Then 'Build 52'), and took it home and we spent nearly 2 weeks of sleepless nights examining and debugging the program, flipping it inside out, and here is what we found. Unlike all previous versions of America Online, version 4.0 puts something in your hard drive called a 'cookie*. However, the cookie we found on Version 4.0 was far more treacherous than the simple internet cookie. How would you like somebody looking at your entire hard drive, snooping through any (yes, any) piece of information on your hard drive. It could also read your password and log in information and store it deep in the program code. Well, -continued on page 3 Activites In Roosevelt Hall By Gary Jambor Are you a bored student with nothing to do in between your classes? Do' you skip classes because you do not want to wait for your next class? For those thai do not know it, Roosevelt Hall has activities to pass the time. Roosevelt Hall is not only home to the Student Govern-ment but aU five fully funded units; Campus Activity Board, Inter-Dormatory Council, Islander (Student Yearbook). WCTF (Student Radio Stauon and the Ram-bler. Most likely all the fully funded units are looking for people to join. I know as a member of the Rambler staft^ that we are always looking for contributions from stu-dents or new members to the staff. This is not all Roosevelt Hall has to offer. In the basement of the build-ing you can fmd^e Rec Center, where students can bowl, play pool or ping pong^. There is also an efft^ to arcade games and a juke box. The pooltables have new lops, new sticks were bought and new balls will soon make their appearance. The bowl-ing lanes are under contract, and will be redone soon. They are also adding another ping-pong table that wUl be there before the Grand Reopening on OcL 30. Another place to spend your time is the Flab Factory. If you like to work out, this is a great place to do it They just updated the equipment and are open for all students. If you're not in the working out mood, you can relax in the Rams Den and watch some television. For all those stu-dents who want something to do, Roosevelt Hall offers a lot for students. Clubs are always looking for new members, so go and see what's here for you! B r e a s t C a n c e r Still A M a j o r Problem By Scou Jambor reast cancer has become, unfortunately, a more common occurrence over the years. The disease affects about 1 of 9 women. This is a very scary statistic. Excluding skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women. The fact remains that living on Long Island puts you more at risk. We have one of the highest rates of breast cancer in the nation. It is estimated that there will be 2,000 new cases diagnosed on Long Island. I know that's not a statistic that we are typically fond of. What is breast cancer? Breast cancer is a malignant (cancerous) tumor that has developed from cells in he breast Breast cancer is most common in women and very rare in men. One man for every 129 women develops the disease. Most of the tumors that are found in the breast are not malignant but benign (non-cancerous). These tumors do not spread outside the breast and are not life-threatening. Malignant tumors, however, are potentially fatal, the most common type of breast cancer is called Infiltrating (or Invasive) Ductal Carcinoma, I.D.C. for short I.D.C. accounts for 80% of all breast cancer cases. Some key statistics about breast cancer: It is the most common type of cancer among women, aside from skin cancer. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death. Lung cancer is the first. It is the leading cause of death among women 40-55. Between 1982 and 1987, breast cancer rates had increased about 4% a year. That rale has since leveled off, probably due to increased usage of mammography. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 1997, 180,200 new cases wUl be diagnosed among women and 1,400 -continued on page 5 Page!

Buffalo Gap Brings in Thousands for their Annual Fire and Ice Feast
By: Natalie Ferrari
Updated: February 4, 2013
The event has become a well known tradition in Buffalo Gap and it's all aimed at helping multiple volunteer fire departments within south Taylor County, including Buffalo Gap, Lawn, Tuscola and Moro.
It's not just your typical fundraiser. The Fire and Ice Feast raises just over $100,000 for all four volunteer fire departments so that they can purchase new equipment.
And while the event is limited to only 25 cooking teams, they all give their time and dedication to the event by providing their own food, so that they can help raise the most money as possible.
A large impact is made each year due to the limited funding these volunteer fire departments receive. Which is why each of these stations greatly rely on donations and fundraisers like the Fire and Ice Feast , to keep their services available for folks in Taylor County.
Organizers say that with the turnout and support continuing to increase each year, they can't wait to see what next year's event will have to offer.

Pulling into her driveway is no longer a problem for Queens homeowner Renee Graham who until recently would come home to find it blocked.
"I have to back into my neighbor's driveway some in order just to get in," says Graham.
Last week, residents said for the past 10 years their driveways were constantly blocked by illegally parked livery cabs from the company U Need Car Service located across the street.
"You're running a business. You know you're not supposed to be parking and blocking our driveways. You need to have some type of stand in order for you to park your commercial vehicles," says Graham.
NY1 called the owner of U Need and he promised to keep his cars out of the driveways and residents say so far, so good.
"They've been very good U Need about not parking in our driveways. I do appreciate them not blocking my driveway and apologizing," says Graham.
Residents say they hope it's an end to the decade-long driveway drama.

Why The Video Looks Shaky (Don Ward)
Updated: 06/18/2013 - We did a quick helicopter tour of the Black Forest burn area. Someone asked why the video looks shaky.
Wind manufacturer Vestas announced another round of layoffs on Thursday, saying that Congress' last-minute extension of a tax credit for wind energy generation came too late to save jobs.
The $12 billion Production Tax Credit was extended by one year after expiring Jan. 1. The extension passed as part of the so-called "fiscal cliff" deal signed by President Obama in the first week of the New Year.
But in a statement, Denmark-based Vestas said that was too late to avoid layoffs that amount to 10 percent of its 1100-person manufacturing work force in the state. The cuts will land at plants in Brighton and Windsor.
"We are disappointed we must lay off many of our highly skilled employees," spokeswoman Susan Innis said in the statement.
Before the PTC became a bone of partisan contention last year -- GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney called for its elimination, as did several Tea Party Republicans -- Vestas employed 1700 people in Colorado. Wind manufacturers across the country laid off thousands of workers while the extension was in doubt. That limbo prevented wind farms from buying new equipment to expand.
Critics of the credit argue the government should not subsidize industries. Backers note that fossil fuels like oil and coal have benefited from centuries of government support.
Vestas said that it still plans to expand some parts of its Colorado operation and that it expects the U.S. wind market to revive now that the PTC is in place. However, wind advocates acknowledge that the same uncertainty that derailed the industry last fall could return once the one-year extension nears its expiration.
U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo) said in a statement: "Congress needs to stop manufacturing these unnecessary crises and give these industries some predictability."

When Todd Price hinted that a new brewery would be coming to New Orleans, it got me a little more than excited. We've had an explosion of micro-breweries across the region that have been putting some great beers on the market. That being said, there is a little bit of civic pride when the great micro-brew is from your own backyard. So far NOLA Brewing alone has been that source of pride when it hit the ground running just a few years ago. Now it appears a new New Orleans brewery may be on the horizon.
While I'm not sure if this is the soon-to-be brewery Todd was hinting at [UPDATE: Todd has confirmed it is not the brewery hinted at, so the hunt continues], it appears Cajun Fire Brewing Company is poised to enter the local marketplace. From their website, they appear ready to hit the ground running with at least four brews and possibly a fifth:
Amber Ale: A refined spin of a traditional classic.
October's Own Pumpkin Ale: The winter companion.
East NOLA IPA: A 60 minute Indian Pale Ale of East New Orleans origin.
Praline Ale: A love letter to the region which boosts the best cuisine this side of the hemisphere.
Veterans Root BEER: Not for the faint of heart. This ain't your mama's root beer.
Here's to hoping that Brew Master Jon Renthrope and crew a quick path to obtaining their necessary licenses and enjoy great success in the years to come.

Round 3, Week 1: BlueShift vs. This is Fiction
Congratulations to Den of Lions for collecting the most votes at our live show at Nietzsche's last Saturday. That win gets them a spot next to Randle and the Late Night Scandals in our BOOM Grand Finale coming up in June.
This week we offer Blue Shift vs. This is Fiction. Visit boom.artvoice.com to check them both out and vote for the band you prefer.
Congratulations Round 2 Quarterfinal Winners, Den of Lions!
Round 3, Week 1:
This is Fiction
Vote Now at the BOOM Website!
That's up to you. This week we offer Den of Lions vs. Voices. Visit boom.artvoice.com to check them out and vote for the band you prefer.
For those of you who aren't familiar with our Battle of Original Music—or BOOM—here's how it works: Local original music acts visit the boom.artvoice.com website. There, they can learn how easy it is to enter the contest. Number one, it's free. That out of the way, all a band has to do is supply a digital photo, a digital song track, and answer a few questions about themselves. This is all done in a matter of minutes.
Each week from those submissions we choose two acts to go head-to-head against one another. Then, local music fans visit boom.artvoice.com where they can click on the band they prefer.
The most successful bands are those that not only have created a cool sound, but have also cultivated a loyal fanbase that will go to the website and vote for them. Fans only have from Thursday when the paper hits the street until the following Tuesday at midnight to register their vote. By the following morning, those votes are counted, and the band with the most votes wins a spot on the bill at the next live BOOM Bash. The next one happens to be scheduled for Friday, April 19 at Nietzsche's—one of the area's top live music venues. There, audience members are issued a ballot at the door which they can then cast for their favorite act. At the end of the night, the band that garners the most votes wins a spot in the BOOM Grand Finale—an event that will be described in a moment.
The process then repeats three more times—two bands facing off against one another—until we have four finalists for each upcoming BOOM Bash. Along the way, a total of eight local original acts get exposed to a wider audience every month by simply participating in the contest.
But the fun doesn't end there. For, once we have the four winners from these live BOOM Bashes, we send them all into the crucible of public opinion known as the live BOOM Grand Finale. This year, the big show takes place at the Sportsmen's Tavern Music Hall on Friday, June 14. There, the cream of the crop will go all out in one last heroic effort to blow the audience away and coax the most ballots into their pile—because, at the end of the night, the band with the most votes wins the right to call themselves Artvoice BOOM Grand Champions.
Along with $5,000.
Sounds good? That's 'cause it is good.
A word of warning however: Bands attempting to stuff the ballot by submitting multiple votes will be rooted out using the most sophisticated intelligence software available on the black market. (Well, okay, that's a bluff, but if you try to fool our IT guy you will be caught. Just ask the FBI…he's that good. And if that happens, you will be disqualified with nowhere to appeal our decision.)
IF YOU'RE IN A BAND, AND WOULD LIKE TO ENTER BOOM, visit boom.artvoice.com to find out how. As always, may the best band win.

MIKE CANTRELL Dallas County Commissioner District 2
June 10, 2011 Subject: 2011 Dallas County Commissioners Redistricting
Dear Citizens of Dallas County:
I want it to be clear that from the beginning of the redistricting process, my goal was to preserve two Republican seats on the Commissioners Court in Dallas County, and I have been consistent and the only one on the Court that has voted that way.
After a closed session meeting on May 3, 2011, staff and our legal counsel were directed to present Map A for public hearing purposes. I did not support this map, but instead it was supported by the Democrat Commissioners and Commissioner Maurine Dickey; Judge Jenkins was absent this day.
It needs to be noted that it was understood by the Court that by voting for Map A, it effectively did away with a Republican seat that could have remained a marginal Republican district for the next two cycles and ultimately, it created a secure minority opportunity district. As a matter of fact, my home and my district office were placed into District 1 on Map A, resulting in both being located outside of a district that I was elected to represent through 2013.
In our first public hearing, a recorded vote of 4-1 was taken on Map A and I continued to oppose this map due to the aforementioned reasons; nevertheless, Commissioner Dickey and the other Democrat Commissioners supported carving my district into a minority opportunity district. I found myself, once again, the lone vote that supported preserving two Republican districts.
During this process of redistricting, and as quoted in a Dallas Morning News Article published on April 15th, Commissioner Dickey announced that she would not seek another term, which is something that no Republican should announce during the redistricting process, especially considering that there is a majority of Democrats on the court. In addition to that, Commissioner Dickey also advised two court members that she did not mind if they put her home precinct (Oak Lawn) into the new minority opportunity district (which was District 2 on Map A).
On Tuesday, June 7th, the day of the vote for redistricting, Commissioner Price presented a substitute version that was basically the same as Map A, however it showed the Oak Lawn precincts being included into the new minority opportunity district and the numbers District 1 and District 2 swapped. This change had the effect of allowing the new minority opportunity district to vote this election cycle to add another Democrat to the Commissioners Court even sooner.
Commissioner Dickey became very upset and stated while pointing at the new District 2 area that it was the district that was "given" to her (apparently through some agreement). She was not upset because the Republicans lost a seat, she was upset because the Democrats on the Court did not honor the deal she thought she had.
Instead of staying and voting against the map with me, Commissioner Dickey left the Court leaving me as the only "no" vote on this proposed substitute map.
Recently, Commissioner Dickey sent out a statement labeling me as Mike "The Team Player" Cantrell and implying that I was a part of this, when in fact she is the one that voted and made agreements with the Democrats and she was perfectly fine with what was being done to me, my district, my constituents, and the Republican Party. However, when the Democrats flipped on her, all of the sudden she was now the one who was being wronged.
I am the only Republican who voted against each map based on it reducing the number of Republicans on the court, maps that ultimately gave the Democrats on the Court the chance to create another minority opportunity district. At no point did Commissioner Dickey vote against either map. Had she done so initially, the outcome could have been different.
Now that the decision about the new district lines has been made, it is time to focus on our future. I am honored and very excited about the opportunity to work with the cities of Addison, Highland Park, University Park, Farmers Branch, Coppell, and Richardson.
It goes without saying that I will continue to work diligently with the cities of Dallas, Garland, Rowlett and Sachse who will remain in my District.

The Democrat Commissioners and Commissioner Maurine Dickey voted to use this map as a starting point for public hearings. That decision meant there would only be one Republican district remaining after the final decision was made. "MAP A"
On June 7th, Commissioner Price presented this map as a substitute for consideration. This map placed Commissioner Dickey's home in the orange shaded area along with the Oak Lawn precincts. It also switched Districts 1 and 2 with each other. "FINAL MAP"
This map shows the approved Commissioner districts shaded in color, and the old Commissioner districts outlined in blue. Every new district will effectively have citizens who are represented by a Commissioner they did not elect, until the next election cycle.

Boots great[...]
By Tam
from Laurel, md
The boots would have been great to wear, considering we received over 30 inches of snow upon their arrival. We couldn't get out for days and had to dig our ways out when the snow finally ended. Hubby was expecting to wear these to shovel and he couldn't because only one boot had a string attached. [...] Makes me wonder if the boots were worn, returned and that explains the missing string?

Jackie's Gift Shop in Laurinburg will close its doors for good at the end of this year.
Store owner Jackie Ford cited economic difficulties as the reason for her shop's closure. Ford opened the store, which is located in the Holly Square shopping center, in 2001. The shop was formerly a Hallmark Gold Crown store.
"My husband and I have been floating the business now for four years," said Ford. "This is not me getting out of it because I want to; I don't really want to at all."
The sluggish local economy, combined with increased availability of gifts, cards, and novelties from other sources, have led customers away from Ford's business since 2008.
"It's the unemployment rate, Internet sales, QVC home shopping, Hallmark putting their product in mass markets like Walmart, Walgreens, Kohl's," said Ford "That hurts a Hallmark store. The last good year I had was 2007."
Ford's business is down more than 50 percent from its levels prior to 2007, and often fails to net enough income to cover rent payment for the storefront. Ford discontinued her affiliation with Hallmark last year, as her level of business no longer warranted the inventory levels required by the company.
The store still attracts a trickle of loyal customers, however, who will now have to look elsewhere for a gift or card on special occasions.
"My customers are just devastated, because it's a nice place to shop," said Ford. "I have a wide category of customers. I know almost all of my customers by name, and they like that. I've also had some great sales associates, and I had a store manager for quite a few years who was wonderful."
Stephanie Skurtu, an occasional customer of Jackie's Gift Shop, seemed unsurprised by the going out of business banner hanging outside the store.
"I come in a few times a year mostly for anniversary cards, and at Christmas, decorations, and I'm sad to see her close," Skurtu said. "When she no longer contracted with Hallmark, I knew the economic situation in Laurinburg was affecting her store. I was surprised that the community didn't come out to support this store more when she was no longer a Hallmark Gold Crown, but times are hard for everybody."
Despite Ford's best efforts, Dec. 31 will be the final day of business at Jackie's Gift Shop. Everything in the store is currently priced at 50 percent off. Most items will remain at that price level, with some discounted to 75 percent.
"When people don't have jobs, there's no money to spend, and I am a gift store," said Ford. "When push comes to shove, people are going to buy staples when things are as bad as they are: food, shelter, and gasoline."
Although shutting the doors of her business will leave Ford without a job, she hopes to resume her prior career in administration.
"I worked at WestPoint Stevens for the VP; I was their secretary, I worked in the accounting department, accounts payable, accounts receivable," said Ford. "You name it, I've done it for 25 years. I was actually sales director when I left, but I wanted to own my own business. Retail is my love - I really love working with the customers."

Instead of a single rounded lens, this design has a main central lens and a separate side view lens joined at at each "corner", left and right. On a recent trip to GBR, one corner seam let water leak in and flood the mask. Why SP needed to make a seam at each side in order to achieve wide vision is beyond me as there are better ways to bend glass, without having to join 2 flat pieces, and the edges are not even beveled. This is a leak disaster just waiting to happen, and it did happen to me, at 75 feet.

Horrible Mask
By Disappointed
from Los Angeles
About Me Advanced
I have been a certified SCUBA diver since 1989. This is the worst mask I have owned. It leaked from the first moment I put my face in the water. I tightened the strap to see if that would help and all it did was hurt my face from being so tight. The mask also had a tendency to fog up. When I tried to clear the mask by rinsing it, water would cling to the inside of the mask obscuring my vision. I couldn't do anything to keep this from happening. This mask caused me to want to snorkel less times than I had planned.I chose it because of SCUBAPRO's reputation for quality but was terribly disappointed.

Disappointed, expected better from ScPro
By Picky
from Houston, TX
Only has a "one size fits all" sizing option. This is especially troublesome for my wife.I ordered 2 and immediately returned 1 (Kudu's to LP's for their great c/s and return policy!) The reason for the return was, after closer inspection, I noticed the silicone sealant used to seal the inside of the mask was poorly applied. It was smutched and uneven, with embedded voids and air bubbles, making a perfect watertight seal at depth highly doubtful.Also, the head strap swivel buckles are hanging off a rather feeble tiny silicone straps. I bet $$$ it will snap within the next 2 years, and probably when I'm sitting at 100ft off Cozumel.

Got the Bang for the Buck

About Me Beginner
See all my reviews
This was my first official SCUBA mask, however, was far from dissapointed. I have a slightly narrow face and had no issues with leaking. Very snug fit and was easy to adjust on the fly. I had a few issues with fogging but one flood and it went away for good. Mostly the fogging was due to the water temp vs outside temp when I tested them at the local dive pool. The only issue I felt I had was it seems that some residual water gathered in the nose piece and no matter what I did, it felt like it was still there but upon removal, nothing really was there to cause concern. ScubaPro has moved to one of the top of my lists for quality geear and goods.
Don't buy, it has a design flaw.
By Juan
from Miami, Florida
Poorly constructed. I had my first mask replaced becaused it leaked in the corner where the lenses are joined. The second mask also leaks also from the same place. Don't buy.

PRESTONSBURG — Carl D. Perkins Job Corps Student Government Association officers took on the issues of bullying and disrespect to staff, as part of an action plan they created for their center and presented to fellow SGA officers at the end of the weeklong SGA Leadership Conference.
The conference, held twice a year, focused on the theme: Leadership and Citizenship. The Perkins delegation joined SGA officers from 10 other Job Corps centers for the conference, held Oct. 23-26 at Camp Horizons near Harrisonburg, Va. The event, hosted by Horizons Youth Services, which operates the Perkins center, offers training in leadership, communication skills, critical thinking skills, personal responsibility and team building.
The weeklong conference culminates with each team of SGA officers presenting their action plans to fellow SGA delegations at the conference. Teams will present their action plans to the senior management staff at their centers when they return to their centers.
The Perkins team's action plan had three main components: creating and implementing a bullying program to educate students about bullying and its effects; creating and implementing a mentor program that matches SGA members with new students; and holding monthly Bullying Awareness assemblies to help educate students about the issues of bullying and disrespect to staff.
The Perkins team included Temika Hodge, president; Rose Petit, vice president; Bria Baulding, secretary; Peter Larkin, treasurer; Travis Strope, sergeant at arms; and Benny Casilla, committee chair. Advisors accompanying the students were Tiffany Fannin and Harold Auxier.

One of the major benefits of Austin's annual South By Southwest confab is its ability to draw worthy artists from around the globe, put them in close quarters, and offer up significant exposure to a vast, international audience.
And for many, that may mean being introduced to Iceland's Ólöf Arnalds.
A singer, songwriter, and skilled instrumentalist, Arnalds is an intensely creative performer with a bewitching voice and an amply evident sense of humor. Her two albums--2007's Við Og Við and her recent Innundir Skinni--are daring, folksy and avant-garde, often at the same time, and reveal her to be a creative spirit with vast artistic potential.
To get a sense of Arnalds' creativity, check out the following musical video piece--"Eins Og Sagt Er" ("As They Say")--she prepared a few years back as a graduation project from the Icelandic Art Academy's music department. We suspect you will find it mind-blowing.
But back in Austin, Y! Music immensely enjoyed our recent time with Ólöf--in

I moved the couch and tried the end tables at each end of it and removed the coffee table. Moved recliner over by TV. I think it works. View from dining room. | |||
View to front door | ||||
Recliner over there now. | ||||
from front door looking in | ||||
View from daughter's room | ||||
Kim, it looks good, but what about the person who sits in the recliner- they are going to have to twist their neck to watch TV. | ||||
The couch, view from master bedroom | ||||
View into Dining Room | ||||
Thanks. View from the recliner isnt bad, I have no other place to put it with couch there. It wont fit under the kitchen opening due to walkway. I usually sit in the recliner haha. | ||||
I was the one that suggested the end tables on the ends of your couch....looks good. Now if you used just one end table (the one nearest the dining room) and put your floor lamp at the other end, would you have room for your recliner where it was before? I really do like your room now. love life | ||||
Yes u did suggest the end tables, thanks. I thought about that but then when 2 people are sitting on the couch with drinks, only 1 would have end table and hubby and daughter will fight over that spot LOL. I used to have couch with back to DR and had 1 end table and they would fight over that spot. I actually put the floor lamp next to the recliner after I posted these pics. If only our bedroom door wasnt off the LR by the recliner, I could angle the recliner more in that corner. We do have another way to get to our bedroom, thru the laundry room and master bath, but I have blocked that door off before and didnt like it LO:. Thanks again | ||||
Took May's suggestion again. I put floor lamp at end of couch and have end table/lamp at the other end of couch by dining room. Moved recliner back under the Kitchen opening with end table/lamp next to it. I like it. Walkway is good between the recliner and couch with end table there. Thanks May | ||||
Youe welcome. I always enjoy seeing the way you have your living room. We recently put our loveseat in the living room and our long couch in the family room.....so much more comfortable that way. I was afraid the colors wouldn't look good (love seat was navy leather and couch was brown cloth)but surprisingly with a change of pillows/throws/plants...it looks pretty good. I don't move furniture around much usually....just enjoy seeing people who do. love life | ||||
