Almost perfect!
I love this wallet for it's clever design and i think it's of much better quality than the other MK iphone clutch wallet option (h ave that one in gold). However, my main issue is having to take my phone out in situations where I need my phone to vibrate because even when placed directly on my lap, I feel nothing. I also wish there was just ONE more card slot as three (which doubled up provides six) still causes me to pick and choose my cards when leaving the house. With that being said, my iphone even with a thin case fits in the dedicated phone slot, although there is a little poofing on the sides of the phone holder. I think this might improve with constant use and get stretched out as needed in the right places. I read that one reviewer was also able to fit in a lipgloss which makes me jealous! Whenever I try, i either have to rest my gloss on top of my cards at the top of the wallet (which isn't ideal for accessing my cards) or live with an unsightly bulge in my sleek new wallet. Maybe 6 cards is just too much? Still love the convenience factor of this little wristlet and would buy it again. And yes, as mentioned before, the MK monogram option definitely cannot be leather which is kind of misleading from the original description. …

Perfect for a night out!
This wristlet is amazing! I am always looking for a small purse that I can put my phone, money and lip gloss in. I want something that I can take out on the dance floor or to dinner and I don't have to worry about leaving it somewhere or placing it on the ground. I purchased this and I was able to keep it around my wrist the whole time! It was exactly what I was looking for. I will definitely get this in multiple colors for different nights out! …

Great case
This case is great and stays like new for years! I have been using this regularly for almost a year and a half and the zipper work s flawlessly, there are no frays or fading and even the gold MK bar is scratch-free. This even fits my iPhone 5 (with no case only). It works as a great wallet too. Highly recommended. …

zipper fail
I have had this wallet for less than a year, and the zipper is already wearing out. It's not over-filled or anything; I keep as li ttle in it as possible. But most of the time, I can't close it. I have to fight with it almost every time. When you pay $90 for a wallet, you expect more. …

Costume safety for Happy Haunting
By: Erika Edwards, NBCNC
Updated: October 26, 2012
There are princesses, monsters, pirates, and even crime-fighting superheroes.
Whatever they choose, the point of a sugar-crazed, costumed holiday is to have them squeal with delight, not scream all the way to the emergency room.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, bad falls are a big reason kids end up in the hospital on Halloween instead of counting their candy.
"Make sure they're not tripping over the bottom half of the costume, and make sure they have shoes they can run in," said Dr. Ellen Rome of Cleveland Clinic.
Visibility is key.
Experts recommend making sure masks have big enough eye holes so kids can clearly see where they're going.
Flash lights, glow sticks and reflective tape on costumes can also help cars see little trick-or-treaters after dark.
Federal law states that all Halloween costumes and Halloween accessories sold in the U.S. must be flame resistant.
But that doesn't mean they can't catch fire.
The experts recommend costumes that fit well, without billowy sleeves.
They can easily ignite on jack-o-lantern candles.

Elementary and middle school educators face unique challenges and extraordinary opportunities to build foundational skills and inspire interest in STEM. How can you do this more successfully? What role do informal groups play in STEM development?
The main focus of the STEM Forum & Expo was geared toward the elementary and middle school levels, where it all begins! However, input and considerations from high school, preservice, college, and university educators, and administrators were essential. After all, we need your feedback to best identify the STEM skill sets that students are lacking when they reach the high school and college levels and to pinpoint ways in which administrators can cultivate the development of successful STEM programs in elementary and middle schools.

Hello Leslie,
On this April Child Sexual Abuse Awareness month, I've posted something that I am sure will touch your heart.
An abused child never forgets the hurt. NEVER. Through a poem, I've composed the hurt and feelings of a 13 year old girl who was abused by her Casio Tutor. Playing Casio was her passion. Her passion was murdered. Her soul was taken away. Have a look- http://pragyaforever.blogspot.in/2012/04/collide-in-crash.html
Waiting for your comments...
Heh. I just saw your link on the "post your blog links here" group, and was on my way to sending you a friend request when I found the one you'd sent me. ;) Have you been doing the Book Blogs think a long time? I've only been at it a couple weeks, but it seems like a pretty cool bunch of people.
Hi Leslie
Congratulations on your book. I must say the cover looks intriguing - and scary. I popped into your blog to check it out. Nice blog too, by the way. if you get a chance please visit me at:
My blog is some what different to most in that it is written by the characters of my novel Cursed. It makes for an unusual read because Seth and Erin write about many of the major themes in the novel - anything ranging from life before birth to life after death. Not to mention the bits in between.
Thank you
Thanks for following my blogs! I have a lot of fun doing Cover to Cover, because I've always (guiltily) judged books by their covers, so I finally have an excuse for doing it! ;)

Ah, yes the popcorn kernel. My son is a Webelo Scout with Cub Scouts. I love being the Den leader, but it can be a lot of work. In the end it's ok though, my son loves it and loves even more the fact that I am a leader for his Den. :) In Feb of next year we cross over into Boy Scouts. I am currently in the works of starting our own Troop too and becoming Scoutmaster. I either really love my son and the boys I work with...or I am crazy. LOL! I have a scout blog too to track out adventures if you are interested. :-) http://scoutinganotherwordforfun.blogspot.com/

The 8,000-seat arena under construction in Bangor will be named the Cross Insurance Center when it's completed next fall. The Bangor-based company paid $3 million for long-term naming rights for the facility.
The city on Friday announced the agreement for the multi-purpose sports and entertainment venue, touting Cross Insurance's status as a family-owned business with "long-standing Bangor roots." Cross secured the naming rights for 15 years, and will also get additional advertising and premium seating opportunities, according to a press release.
Front Row Marketing Services, a firm that handles ancillary income for sports and entertainment venues, completed the naming rights agreement on behalf of the city. Global Spectrum, a public assembly facilities management firm, will operate the center. Both companies are subsidiaries of Comcast-Spectacor.
In April, Cross signed a two-year partnership with the Boston Red Sox to be the franchise's official insurance broker. The cost of the agreement was not released. Cross received signage placement in Fenway Park, other advertising opportunities and the ability to host events for its clients at the park.

Texting someone/someones that you know will respond before you are done taking a shit. Could perhaps prolong a shit if there are many respondents.

Certificates (which you need to install for each web browser on each computer or device that you use) allow you to access secure web services at MIT, such as SAPweb, WebSIS, and Stellar, or to access any MIT certificate-protected site.
Certificates are a safe way for our web applications to identify you without you needing to type in a username and password. Certificates expire once per year, creating the need to renew them annually.
- Get the MIT Certificate Authority (MIT CA) (if you don't have it already)
- Get or Renew Your MIT Personal Certificate
Personal certificates obtained starting June 28, 2012 are good until August 1, 2013. The MIT Certificate Authority (CA) is good until August 2026. Learn more.
Certificates are a safe way for our web applications to identify you without you needing to type in a username and password.
Key Features
To access MIT's secure web servers you actually need two different types of certificates: the MIT CA (Certification Authority), and your MIT personal certificate.
The MIT CA (Certification Authority) authenticates the secure web server to your computer. MIT CAs are valid for several years.
Note: Browsers come with a group of other certificate signers (also known as certificate or root authorities) pre-installed; you are adding the MIT Certification Authority to this group.
Your MIT Personal Certificate "authenticates" you and your computer to the web page or application you are accessing. This personal certificate is "signed" by the MIT CA and associates you with your Kerberos username and password. It proves to the secure web server that you are who you claim to be.
Before you can get MIT web certificates, make sure you have the following:
- Your valid MIT ID number.
- Your Kerberos username and password (same as for Athena, MITnet, MIT email, or SAP).
- An MIT-supported browser installed on each computer for which you are getting certificates; see Web Browsers at MIT.
Getting Started
- Get MIT Certificate Authority (MIT CA)
- Get MIT Personal Certificate
- Use the Certificate Help Wizard to learn how to properly configure certificates for your browser and operating system

Congratulations on having the energy to post for 1,600 consecutive days. Keep up the Great Work. Your buddy, Warren {:-)
Welcome aboard buddy, have a nice week
1579 cons days on GB, real dedication ......... Be my first Austin gas buddy.
A BIG CONGRATS on 1,500 consecutive days! Really awesome! Wow, another milestone has arrived! : ) For most GBs (8M plus) they don't seem to have the dedication or the persistence it takes to come back and post gas prices each day for other GBs! Or they just run out of gas! :( Hang onto your speed lines, it only takes one day to lose them! I'm sure you know! But, even clicking on news articles links, which are the easiest points here on GasBuddy, when you can't or didn't post gas prices before midnight will save your consecutive days! : ) WARNING! Every day GBs lose their consecutive days, many with big numbers, the #1 reason, "oops, I just forgot!" :( If you ever lose your consecutive days; that is NO FAULT of your own, please contact the mods! Keep posting each day to save your consecutive days! Keep going like a PRO Austin GasBuddy! Have a nice week! Thanks buddy! Ron
Hi, BIG congratulations on having the dedication to post for 1,500 consecutive days. WOW!! Keep up the great work and Good Luck in the future! Your buddy, Warren :-)
Thanks for becoming my newest buddy. I hope that you are having a great weekend. Keep that very impressive string of consecutive days going. Your new buddy, Warren :o)
Hi, I am a buddy of "northlight" and I noticed your great avatar picture at his site. Go Longhorns! Want to become buddies??? Warren :-)
I would very much enjoy having you post in my new "STATE" ranking topic in the "just for fun" topic section. I hope to attract posters from many states. You can find your Texas/Lonestar state ranking (which includes all 11 Texas metro areas + the rest of Texas) at the following website. http://www.hovercode.com/gas/texas.php . If this is of any interest to you, would love to see you post there on a daily basis. You can also post the total number of Texas members which is found at the beginning of the listing. My topic can be found at: http://www.dallasgasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=&category=1235&topic=499046&page_no=1&FAV=Y Thanks in advance for your interest
Thanks lgppa and twinbuick. I never thought I would make it this far when I started. If it was not for my Iphone and being able to report prices on the go I probably wouldn't have made it. Looking forward to getting evern higher. Have a great New Years and be safe out there.
A BIG CONGRATS on reaching 1.25M and your nice new red motorcycle! More than 90% of the new GBs won't even make it to 1M, but you have done great! Keep going another million or more! Many of the GBs ahead of you have already retired so there is lots of room at the top! Don't give up now, like so many of the GBs that reached 1M and 2M, then retired! Keep going like an Austin PRO GasBuddy!

Helpful Definition for: Beer
'Beer' is an alcoholic beverage brewed from yeast-fermented malt and flavored with hops in Algona. Beer is one of the oldest beverages and also the third most common drink consumed across the globe. One recent survey reveals that more than a hundred billion liters of beer is sold every year throughout the world. It is generally derived from malted barley, however, rice, wheat or corns are also used. It is flavored with the flower of the hop-vine, known as Hops, which actually works as a natural preservative. You will find 4% to 6% of alcohol by volume in beer usually. The brewing (process of making beer)in Algona can be done in breweries or at home also. The basic ingredients of beer are water, fermented malt, alcohol and hops. Pale ale, Mild ale, Wheat beer, Stout, Lambic, Lager, etc. are the few names of various types of beers. Consuming alcohol is injurious to health. However, beer reduces the risk of high blood pressure and diabetes also, as per some doctors in Algona. It should be upto a pint per day which will be actually good for health. Adequate consumption of beer with healthy diet even helps to lose weight. Beer comprises vitamins, calcium, iron and folic acid which actually offer a 'protective' effect on the cardiovascular system of the human body.

GE foods are those which have had their genetic composition altered in order to add a "desirable" trait..

BOSTON — A double-overtime victory against LeBron James and the defending NBA champions was difficult to celebrate for Paul Pierce and the Celtics.
News of Rajon Rondo's season-ending knee injury spoiled the party.
"Everyone was really happy for the win," Pierce said after Boston beat the Miami Heat 100-98 Sunday. "It brought a dark cloud in this room when you heard the news."
When coach Doc Rivers told his players after the game, the joy of ending their six-game losing streak stopped, even if they had just outlasted the team with the best record in the Eastern Conference, which came in with a four-game winning streak.
Now the Celtics must try to keep winning without their leader, who suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee late in Friday night's 123-112 win, also in double overtime, in Atlanta.
They won Sunday after Pierce's 22-foot jumper with 31 seconds left gave them a 99-98 lead.
But making the playoffs got harder as the Celtics try to hang on to the eighth and final postseason spot in the conference with a 2 1-2-game lead over the Philadelphia 76ers.
"Obviously, the Rondo news is pretty tough. I knew it before the game," Rivers said. "I just didn't think it was any time to tell any of our guys."
This game was the first in Boston for Ray Allen since he left the Celtics after five seasons and signed as a free agent with Miami. He scored 21 points.
Kevin Garnett had 24 points and 11 rebounds, and Pierce added 17 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists for the Celtics. Continued...
Rondo's injury "puts this team and the rest of the guys in a position to be ready to step up," Pierce said. Sunday's win "was a perfect example. We showed we are capable."
James had 34 points for the Heat, whose winning streak stopped at four.
"As much as I've been a rival with Boston over the years, I never want to see anyone go down," James said. "It's terrible, not only for their team but for the league."
After Pierce's basket, James had a chance to put the Heat ahead but missed a 12-foot jumper with 6.8 seconds to go from the left with defender Jeff Green jumping out at him. Pierce got the rebound and was fouled by Shane Battier.
He sank the first shot. Then, as a fan shouted "This one's for Rondo," he missed the second.
Miami had one last chance, but Battier missed a long jumper at the buzzer.
"They defended that very well," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "There are about three different options to it, four different options to it. They defended each one of them."
The Heat also could have won in the first overtime, but Dwyane Wade, who had 17 points, also missed a long jumper as the buzzer sounded. They had led 93-89 after consecutive baskets by James, but Garnett hit a layup with 1:45 remaining and a shot from the right baseline with 1:14 to go.
Boston could have avoided the first overtime when Pierce inbounded from behind his backboard with two seconds left to Jason Terry. But Terry's shot from the top of the key was short. The Heat had tied it on a 3-pointer by James with seven seconds remaining in regulation after Allen missed a 3-pointer from the left corner with 15 seconds to go.
Rivers did not mention Rondo's injury in his meeting with reporters about an hour before the game, but Courtney Lee started in his place. Doctors decided to keep Rondo out of the game after he went through his normal pregame routine but complained of pain that he thought was in his hamstring. An MRI was done and team physician Dr. Brian McKeon learned the results during the game. Continued...
Allen was part of the Big Three with Pierce and Garnett starting in 2007-08. In their first season together, Boston won its 17th NBA championship. He played against the Celtics once before this season, a 120-107 Heat win in Miami in the opener.
The crowd gave Allen a standing ovation when highlights of his career with the Celtics were shown on the video board above center court during a timeout with 5:33 left in the first quarter. At the Miami bench, he raised his left hand in recognition.
"When I saw it, just all those emotions came streaming back from all the great things we did here," Allen said. "I'll always be a Celtic in my mind."
Allen entered the game about a minute after the tribute and was booed when he touched the ball. The boos came down again when he took two free throws — missing the first, making the second — three minutes into the second quarter.
Allen went back into the game with 30 seconds left in the first half with the score tied at 43 and made a layup with 16 seconds to go. But Pierce sank a driving layup with 4.3 seconds remaining to tie it 45-45 at halftime.
"What happened to Ray is never good for this franchise," Pierce said, "but it wasn't about Ray. It was about us playing the defending champs."
It was Miami's first game in Boston since it won Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals behind James' 45 points.
Early in the second half, James hit a pair of 3-pointers from the same spot on the left, putting the Heat in front 51-48. The Celtics rallied and led 64-61 with 1:49 remaining in the third quarter. But the Heat scored the last seven points of the period on a jumper by Norris Cole, a free throw by Allen and two 15-footers by James and led 68-64 going into the fourth.
Notes: James and Chris Bosh each had 16 rebounds for the Heat. The last time the Celtics played consecutive double-overtime games was on March 11 and 13, 1951.

la Valentina Semi-Auto
can i purchase the water softener/ion exchange unit without the plumbing kit?
Free shipping on orders over $50. No sales tax!
The Grimac Royal Falcon La Valentina semi-automatic is a sleek machine that packs a commercial punch. A classic "prosumer" machine, it has a copper heat exchanger boiler that allows you to brew and steam at the same time. In addition, the La Valentina is one of very few in its class able to boast nickel-plated copper internal tubing. Grimac also included a Sirai commercial pressure stat to regulate temperature and pressure, providing the same consistency and shot quality that you will find in the most selective coffee houses. A ball joint mounted steam wand provides maximum frothing flexibility, and a separate hot water wand makes it easy to prepare tea and americanos. Listed for UL and ETL, this machine is perfect for a small café or other light commercial use, not only for its pure power, but also for its unique design. Housed entirely in stainless steel, the side panels of the La Valentina slightly angle inward at the top, creating smooth lines that appeal to the eye and make this a truly individual machine. Please note that to accommodate a commercial application, the machine does come with adjustable taller legs that can bring the height of the machine up to 17.75 inches. However, these legs can be easily removed for home use. It also has a plastic covering over the on/off switch to prevent steam from getting into its circuitry. This covering is not removable. The La Valentina comes with 2 portafilters (1 single spout and 1 double spout), as well as single and double shot filter baskets, a stainless steel coffee scoop, plastic tamper, group brush, and stainless steel backflush disc. A replacement water nozzle, shower screen, and diffuser plate are also included.
Please Note: Regulations for commercial use vary between states. Be aware of your local requirements. Machines carrying an NSF approval are labeled as such. Please visit our policies page for warranty information.
If you would like to know a little about the many types of espresso machines we sell, this would be a good video to get you started. This video covers the machines we sell and based on your lifestyle, what you like to drink, and ease of use. It will give you an overview of different espresso machines and help you determine which one best suits to your needs.
I would watch the video and focus on a particular kind of machine—prosumer, semi-automatic, and super-automatic to decide which kind is ideal for you. Then, you can go and look at individual models to get a better idea of exactly what you want. Of course, if you narrow it down to a few espresso machines and are still undecided, give us a call and we would be glad to help!
Chance Great video. Covers the basics and really helps you find the category that fits your life. Super auto for me!

Rated 4 out of 5
Has owned for:
More than 1 year
Ability Level:
This is a great machine, buy it if you are looking for reliability. Mine has seen moderately heavy household use for 4 and 1/2 years (several coffee lovers in the house) and still works like a new one. We entertain often and the machine gets heavy use one night a week. I do not worry about this machine holding up. It is definitely commercial build quality.
More than 1 year
Build quality and good coffee. Did I say this thing will pull a great shot! The shots are really good after this machine is been on for several hours and good and hot.
Backflush twice a week and this machine won't let you down
CCM espresso blend and some home roast
I am not sure. For this class of machine and this price range it is tough to beat. A rotary pump would probably be nice.

this is our first
can i purchase the water softener/ion exchange unit without the plumbing kit?
mjackson ♦ Andy,
You can purchase the Expobar one that will fit. It goes on the water inlet line inside the water reservoir. Call us and we can get one ordered for you. So you don't need the plumb kit.
plumbable? can a solenoid be added so I can have a pourover or line option?
costs to do this? Maybe an AlexII or La Valentina? La Valentina looks like
it's built like a tank with less potential problems?
mjackson ♦ Vernon,
I love the La Valentina and you are right it is built like a tank. You can get a plumb kit added on and it works very well. It costs $150.00. It is best to have it done before the sale. It is harder to do after as you really need to know what you are doing as well as having all the parts.You cant have both the tank and the plumb kit. It can only be one or the other. Get the Valentina and let us know if you have anymore questions.

a l l e g e OF THE RAMBLER Long Island Agricultural & Technical Institute—Farmingdale, N. Y. Vol. XXI, No. 4 April 5, 1950 CLUB NEWS Rifle Club The members are all shotting qualdficatlc n targets under match conditions in tryouts for the team which will shoot in the annual Intercollegiate match. The course of the match will ba 37 rr.inuccs for 30 shots in the prone, kneel-ing, and offhand p sitions. The four girls in the club: Shirley Hughes, Cavol Ferrari, Jean "Chipper" Reubal, and Helen Marshall are good prospects for the team; in fact, it might be said that they are outscoring most of the male membeis. Boxing Club Come and watch and perhaps even participate Wednesdays at the Ag Gym at 8:00 P. M. Cattle Club The Cattle Club, with Bill Bar-clay as president, holds it meet-ings every second and fourth Tuesdays. They held an election meeting March 28th. New fresh-man officers were installed. Glee Club The Glee Club meets on Mon-days at 11:10 and 7:30 P. M. in the Ag Gym. Our school Glee Club sang Monday night, March 20th, at the 1950 Inaugural An-nual Dinner of the Long Island Association held at the Garden City Hotel. There were about 800 people there, including Director Knapp. The Men's Glee Club also had a party in the Log Cabin, Tuesday night, March 21st. Mr. Hutchison was really kept busy over the week end. On Sunday, March 19 he took the band to the Veterans Hospital in Northport where they played for a large audience. Poultry Club The Poultry Club, which meets every second and fourth Thurs-day, is planning many field trips, have had guest speakers and have shown films. Their poultry ex-hibit at the Country Life Program went off with great success. All freshmen poultry majors are in-vitwd to be active next year. Science Club On March 22, at 7:30 P. M., at the Ag Gym, the Science Club had Dr. W. Ralph Singleton talk on "Genetic Effects of Radiation On Plants". The club plans to take a trip to the Brookhaven Atomic Research Laboratory on April 15th. All those interested in joining this worthwhile club should contact Mr. Swarty. S l a n O r r M a k e s N e w s d a y A l l - S l a is Captain Stan Orr was the only member of the Long Island Aggie basketball team to get a berth on the Long Island Collegiate All-Star Basketball Team chosen for the first time by Newsday. Prom Adelphi, Hofstra, Kings Point and the Long Island Aggies, 10 men were picked as the croam of the crop of basketball stars. Four came from Hofstra, throe from Adelphi, two from Kings Point and one from the L. I. Aggies. Newsday stated that Orr's steady play throughout the season, es-pecially in the New York State Institute Tourney, was the biggest factor in the Aggies somewhat successful season, and it was for this reason that he was chosen or the All-Stars. Ted George, the Aggies high scorer, was also considered for the All-Stars, but was nosed out by stronger contenders. March 15 Assembly J^ji E m e r g e n cy Ag Freshman Dance On Friday night, March 17, the Ag Freshmen held a dance in Knapp Hall. The band hired for the evening's entertainment was that of Franky Mann from the Bronx. The singer, upon whom all eyes appeared to be turned, seem-ed to be liked by all. For the fellows interested, her name is '•£un Shine". The dance was a success with over 150 people attending, all of whom were enjoying themselves. Also some girls from Central Islip came and upon leaving thanked us for our complimentary tickets which we sent and said they had a wonderful time. They also ad-ded that we should have more socials of this order. There were also some teachers of the Institute present. They were Mr. and Mrs. Oxman, acting as chapei'ones, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Martin and Mrs. and Mrs. David-son. The members of the committee who worked hard to make the dance a success were: Andrew R. Gioseffie, Mel Gjeisnich, Ed Vickeimau and Ted Sehafer. On March 15, Mr. Allee turned over the assembly program to Fred Lubbe and thirteen indus-trial chemistry students for the program—"This is Your World". William Morell gave the Bible reading and the Lord's Prayer, followed by Rudy Zeblisky with reports on "Science in the News". The first part of the program, under the direction of Mr. J. G. Coogan, chemistry instructor, dealt with the atmosphere and how it affects surfaces. Three interesting demonstrations show-ed the properties of our atmos-phere very effectively. James Kaelin proved that atmosphere exerts pressure by crushiag in the sides and top of a i oil can and is capable of forcing an egg into a bottle, as shown by Frank Forti. A fountain was made by Dan Loughlin who produced a greater-than-air pressure i.i a jar v/ith hot water and ether which forced the water high into the air. Thoughout the experiments Jack Belkin showed the effect of the atmosphere on a human being as he "rose into the air over Manhattan Island." The next part of the program included miscellaneous chemical demonstrations with Joe Steim-ers and his chemical garden, Weird formations of chemical crystals grew out of a solium silicate. Chemicals can be quite dangerous, as shown by Sam Got-tesman, when zinc and ammon-ium nitrate and water caused a fire and also when zinc and io-dine and water caused an iodine vapor spray. The time reactions of starch and free iodine (color turns blue) and aseniou3 acid (gives off a yel'ow precipatato) were shown by Tom Main and Willdam Arna z. Asa Liefer pro-duced crystals for the audience from a supersaturated solution. A magician's trick was performed by Wes Bucek when he mixed two solutions to form a solid and appeared to disappear to the aud-ience. Merv Berrin mixed certain chemicals that gave off a light resembling a firefly's glow and showed how chemicals change color under ultraviolet light. Joe Steimers ended the program with his demonstrations of the basic principles of the hydrogen and helium atom. The enemy's fire could be heard above the noise of rain hitting canvas tents of a Field Hospital. The tent in the middle of this canvas city was the Surgical tent. Col. Cook and Major Brown were the surgical team for tonight; every night in fact, for the re-placements had not arrived as yet. A Corpsman entered the tent, saluted and said, "An emer-gency case, sir!" "Bring him in," the Colonel replied, without lifting his head. "A shrapnel wound of the heart. Colonel," said the Corpsman. The litter was placed on two medical field trunks, to save time in moving him on the operating table. The door was shut; the lamp lowered, and caps and gowns put on both men. The sharp sound of snapping rubber could be heard as their gloves were donr^ed; besides the deep breathing of the man on the litter. "Ready!" was the word spoken by the man at the head of the litter, in a clear cool voice. The two doctors stepped to the litter one on either side, while two technicians moved in close to obey the orders of .either doctor. The • clothes were cut away and the area cleaned. Thus began the human struggle of knowledge and skill against time and death. The odds are high in a heart wound, but the skill was keen, with years of work. One instrument after another passed through the hands of the surgical team. So tense was the atmosphere in the tent, tha you could hear n tithing on the outside of it. Blood was given, for the artery was pieiced by a piece of schrapnel, no bigger than the dot at the end of this sentence. The artery is the main motor of the body. An organ normally the size of your fist controls the rest of your body; for here is the small uel pump of a mass of arteries and veins. One slip wass all you got m this game; for in this profession there is no guess work, no second chance. A doctor's hands are his eyes, for they must feel for things that cannot hv^ seen with the eyes. A touch so keen tha' even water feels rough For hours both doctors stood over this litter which held the life of a man, to try and save him. A bjy with years of life recorded on his face and body. (Continued on Page 2, Col. 1)

Bank gift benefits food pantry
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
Fircrest -- The Vancouver branch of the Salvation Army was thrilled to receive a donation of $2,706.45 from Riverview Community Bank "to help replenish bare shelves in our food pantry," business administrator Steve Rusk said. The local branch of the nationwide Christian charity serves approximately 1,400 needy households every month -- that's more people with fewer resources than ever before. "We are fighting hard to keep up with the demand during these tough economic times," said Rusk. "Many new faces are coming through the door needing food for the first time in their lives. For those who experience chronic poverty, the need is growing even greater."

District Rotary Foundation chairs and governors-elect are strongly encouraged to submit a District Simplified Grant request to the Foundation in the Rotary year before the funds are needed. Download the request form (PDF), or contact district leaders, who receive it yearly by mail. Requests may be submitted between 1 July and 31 March. Funds will be made available the following July.
Clubs interested in receiving District Simplified Grants must talk to their district leadership. Funds are made available only to the district.
Read terms and conditions (PDF) of District Simplified Grant expenditures and activities.
Download questions and answers (PDF) for District Simplified Grants
All Rotary Foundation grants require the highest attention to stewardship. Progress reports must be submitted at least every 12 months for the life of the project. A final report is due within two months of the full expenditure of funds. Download the District Simplified Grant report form as a PDF or Word document.

When I decided to do a front brake job on my car, I realized that the last person who owned it actually rounded a couple of the bolts holding the brake caliber in place. I tried all the tricks to get it off just short of grinding it off and drilling it out. I found these online and decided to grab a set as a last resort. It took me about 30 mins to figure out the best way to do this so to save you time, here goes. If you are working with a standard bolt, you will be fine. If the bolt is hardened, you may need to jimmy it. The first thing I did was file the last remaining edge of the bolt head. Then I lightly tapped the bolt remover onto the end. Next, I grabbed something that would allow me to pound this remover on evenly, (I used another socket and just turned it around so the back side would be on the head of the remover). After some good hits with a hammer, I grabbed a wrench and it came right off. I also sprayed the bolt with some PB blaster to help. All in all, I got the bolt off!

Used this to get brake caliper bolts off my car after trying vice grips, different wrenches, liquid wrench. The bolts got rounded out and found this tool online. The reviews were right! I put the correct bolt remover on the bolt and it gripped it. A few hits with the hammer on the wrench and it came right off. Great too to have!

This is an awesome tool if you strip a bolt head with a ratchet socket. It grips on to a stripped bolt head and can work in a tight spot.
Detroit, MI
Got this set today had two transmission mount bolts that were stripped bad. I tried the old mech's trick to pound on smaller sockets on the nuts but made it worse,so i bought this set man this is the best money I have spent in a long time, I have ton's of tools and this set is right up there with the big boys. It worked great the first time the more you try to turn the nut off the tighter it gripped. This is a must have tool if you work as a wrench or even a hobby person well worth the money. I was reading some other reviews on here about people that used them on exhaust bolts and they said they did not work and bad mouthed the tool the fact is that on exhaust you have to heat up the bolts first and take them off when they are hot. This set works great buy it thanks Sears great tool craftsman all the way saved me a lot of time and money.

Crisis in English church after rejectionBy ALAN COWELL and JOHN F. BURNS
The New York Times | November 22,2012LONDON In a sign of deepening crisis in the Church of England after it rejected the appointment of women as bishops, its spiritual leader said Wednesday that the church had undoubtedly lost a measure of credibility and had a lot of explaining to do to people who found its deliberations opaque.
The archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev. Rowan Williams, was speaking after an emergency meeting of bishops called to debate Tuesdays narrow balloting by its General Synod rejecting the ordination of women as bishops, even though female priests account for one third of the Church of Englands clergy members. Female priests hold senior positions like canon and archdeacon, and some had been hoping to secure appointments as bishops by 2014 if the change had been approved.
The vote represented a direct rebuff to Williams reformist efforts during his 10 years as head of the church and a huge setback to a campaign for change that has been debated intensely and often bitterly for the past decade.
More than 70 percent of the 446 synod votes Tuesday were in favor of opening the churchs episcopacy to women. But the synods voting procedures require a two-thirds majority in each of its three houses: bishops, clergy and laity. The bishops approved the change by 44-3, and the clergy by 148-45. The vote among the laity, though, was 132-74, six votes less than the two-thirds needed.
The Church of England is the so-called established church, meaning that it is recognized by law as representing the official religion, enjoys special privileges and is supported by the civil authorities.
Some lawmakers suggested Wednesday that the synod vote would create a crisis of church-state relations since the rejection of female bishops contradicted national laws on gender equality. Prime Minister David Cameron, already at loggerheads with the church over the governments plans to legalize same-sex marriage next year, urged church authorities Wednesday to devise a way out of the impasse.
Im very clear the time is right for women bishops; it was right many years ago, he told Parliament on Wednesday. They need to get on with it, as it were, and get with the program. But you do have to respect the individual institutions and the way they work while giving them a sharp prod.
Addressing the synod Wednesday in unusually unambiguous language, Williams declared, We have, to put it very bluntly, a lot of explaining to do.MORE IN Wire NewsWASHINGTON About 8 million immigrants living unlawfully in the United States would gain legal...

Doug's NFL Power Poll: Week 6
By: Doug Franz
Originally published: Oct 14, 2009 - 11:51 am
Originally published: Oct 14, 2009 - 11:51 am
This week Doug has two of the top three teams going against each other as he has to stick with the Manning brothers at the top of his poll - giving the younger Manning top billing.
1. GIANTS: I said in the pre-season they'd go 7-0�toughest test is @NO | |
2. COLTS: I hate to admit this but I think I finally realize just how good Peyton is | |
3. SAINTS: Lost in the hype of the highest scoring offense is the 6th ranked defense�hey west side, Bell is still 1st in avg/game | |
4. VIKINGS: 5-0 is great but total yards is 1663 to 1603 and that's too close�do you think BAL is in a good mood after their loss vCIN? | |
5. BRONCOS: I'm not ready to recant but it doesn't look good for me�only 22nd in points scored but I never guessed they'd have the best defense in the NFL | |
6. FALCONS: 3-1 with vBUF and both TB games still on schedule� outgained by opponents but the +4 T/O ratio is why they don't give up a lot of points | |
7. BENGALS: A tipped pass away from being in the top 5�4-1 and they're 3-0 in the division with two division wins on the road�can you say home field advantage? | |
8. EAGLES: Vital stretch to see if you're for real --@SF, vCHI, @DAL�defense gives up huge yards but only 17 pts/game | |
9. RAVENS: Tied for second and down a tie break with a brutal schedule | |
10. BEARS: @ATL and @CIN will make it tough to stay in top 10�no Urlacher but still in the top 10 in rush defensive is very impressive | |
11. STEELERS: -4 in T/O ratio and 22nd in rushing must change�vCLE is a good place to start |
12. PATRIOTS: NE's defense is average�yeah, I said that to your face Bill | |
13. JETS: Sanchez's career starts now�the shine is over and there's real adversity�perfect time to re-group vBUF and @OAK | |
14. 49ERS: Losing vATL is nothing to ashamed for�getting embarrassed @home�suddenly looking very average going into the bye | |
15. CHARGERS: How �bout this Norv, win vDEN and you keep your job or lose and know it's over | |
16. COWBOYS: Here's your shocking stat � this is the number one offense in the NFL�try holding on to the football and all those yards will actually translate to points |
17. PACKERS: Very average football team who will feast off schedule the next two months�then comes DEC when they lose their playoff bid (I wrote this last week but there's no need to change) | |
18. CARDINALS: What's more amazing, 56.5 yards rushing/game, or the fact there's one team worse? | |
19. DOLPHINS: big win on MNF�too bad another losing streak is about to start vNO, @NYJ and @NE | |
20. SEAHAWKS: Passer rating has Hasselbeck 5th and Warner 13th�good luck this week vAZ, it's only your entire playoff hopes in one game |
21. JAGUARS: Didn't even show up @SEA�if they're trailing at the half vSTL, Del Rio might not be allowed into the tunnel | |
22. TEXANS: How bad is AZ running game?...HOU went from 31st to 26th in rush defense | |
23. PANTHERS: My knock-out pick is whoever plays TB�I admit I'm a little nervous this week | |
24. LIONS: Your opponents get more yards than you, sacks than you, and TD's than you, but don't worry, at least you turn the ball over more than they do | |
25. TITANS: 31st worst pass defense even though teams are getting leads and not throwing the ball | |
26. RAIDERS: OAK will lose @ least 10 games a year until Al Davis is dead | |
27. REDSKINS: Will never get better until Cerato is fired�if Snyder doesn't realize that, he'll be in the Al Davis category | |
28. BROWNS: Oh the ripping I took when I said Brady Quinn was the next Joey Harrington | |
29. BILLS: People paid to see them lose vCLE |
30. CHIEFS: I hope that 2nd round pick for TG is working out for you since your QB's don't need a TE to work the middle in your vaunted 29th ranked passing game | |
31. BUCS: vCAR on Sun is really the only winnable game on the schedule | |
32. RAMS: The question should not be whether Rush should be allowed to own the team but why would Rush want to own the team? |
