I used these on a project and I plan to do a lot more welding. But for the purpose of this review I will describe my experience with them. I had to weld up 4 schedule 40 threaded couplings 3/4" in size, to a 1.5" schedule 40 threaded coupling. I was making a base for a wind turbine I have, and needed to be able to disassemble it. I had to get in tight to weld up those pieces and never felt any heat or discomfort. This was my second time welding but my first time "really" welding. Again, for the short amount of time I used them they worked great, and looking at some of the other reviews, they seem to hold up to heat real well. To me these look pretty well made, but again, I'm not a professional welder. My advice: they are cheap enough and made well enough to buy multiple packs to have just in case. If you're a pro these again are cheap enough to have around in case your "good" gloves give out. Bottom line: I like them.

Was Good In the Past...
This would be the second time I placed this review but I guess they are working out the bugs in there system. 3 to four years...Read complete review
This would be the second time I placed this review but I guess they are working out the bugs in there system. 3 to four years ago I would have rated theses glove 5 stars but times have changed. Back then they were almost as good as the ones Lincoln sold and a lot cheaper, now the quality in the leather and the liner is no where near as good as the ones in the past. The other thing is that one size fits all is not true with theses gloves anymore, if you have small to medium hands you may be O.K. but if you have large hands they will not fit anymore, I am now sitting on Two packs of gloves that will not fit and may never use. For these reasons I will only give them 1 to 2 stars now.I hope Harbor Freight reads these reviews because they need to re-look at the quality of theses gloves and make some changes back to the way they were‰Û_..

Good gloves. Newer to welding so I'm sure there are better out there, but for the money, I feel these protect very well. I have yet to get burned. They even have enough dexterity to pick up a cutoff wheel off the ground.

About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
These gloves are well made and thick enough to protect you from sparks and extreme heat. Great value, especially that I got them on sale! Seams are strong and my gloves are even lined for comfort. I only have a 20% duty cycle welder so I'm not running production type work for long periods of time. For my periodic use, these were a great value. Very happy!

Not just for welders!
By Mike
from Jacksonville, FL
Just bought my second three-pack of these gloves. The first time I bought them was about three years ago. Two pair of those (I gave one pair to my brother) finally got worn out. They eventually tear at the thumb joint. I had also finally worn through the fingertips. These gloves are AWESOME for any heavy duty chores; yardwork, chainsaw work, handling hot materials...virtually anything where hands need heavy duty protection. When these I most recently purchased wear out, I'll buy more. Hopefully they'll still be available several years from now. Maybe I'll stock up sooner!

I have had a half dozen of these gloves for several years now and haven't had the problems that many have posted. They are too bulky for MIG welding, but have used them a lot around hot metals and when pulling repair or modify pieces out of coals to work on. Yes, they were slightly warm, but try doing it without them.

Cape Gooseberry - Seed
Large and very juicy fruit!
Ordering options
Cape gooseberries seed needs no prior treatment but soaking overnight in lukewarm water will encourage germination.Sowing
Under glass period: from Frbruary to April.
Sow your Cape gooseberries from the beginning of February in an indoor propagator or mini greenhouse, in small peat pots or in a simple seed tray. A combination of peat pots, filled with good seeding compost and a room or mini greenhouse is easiest. Plant 1 seed per pot at 0.5 cm deep, fill with compost and stand in the mini-greenhouse or on a sunny window-sill.
Depending on temperature, germination will take place in 10-20 days. Do harden your seedlings off once they reach 10 cm. Leave the lid off for one hour longer every day for 5 days until they are acclimatised to normal humidity. They can then be potted up into a larger pot.
Keep the pots indoors until all chance of frost is passed and keep them in the light. If they grow too fast, slow things down by standing them in a cooler, bright spot until the outdoor temperature is right.
Spaniards brought Cape gooseberries from the South American Cape Horn.
The plant is one of the deadly nightshades (Solanaceae). It also resembles and is related to the Physalis alkekengi (Chinese Lantern) with its lovely red lanterns but those berries are not edible.
Cape gooseberries grow best in the greenhouse but will be fine outdoors too. Make sure you choose the warmest and most sheltered spot in your garden. This plant will grow tall and fairly bushy. The flower, once pollinated, will form a perfectly round fruit of 2-4 cm in diameter. The best ripe fruits will be those most in the sun. The delicious golden yellow through to an orange fruit has a sweet, refreshing taste with a really nice aroma. They are often used by chefs as a garnish to all sorts of dishes – make sure you eat them as they are just delicious!
Fallen fruit that is not picked up will take seed producing new plants where they have fallen! If you have the room for it, try over wintering them. Stand the plant(s) in the light in a cool (bed)room and water sparingly but keep the soil relatively moist. When all chance of frost is passed, plant them out again. Cut back to 1/3, feed the plant and keep it moist.
Fresh Cape gooseberries are best not kept in the fridge and will keep for several weeks as they do not continue to ripen indoors. If you want to get the last of the fruit to ripen, bring the whole plant indoors at the end of the season.
Cape gooseberries are good for you and contain lots of vitamin C.
Cape gooseberries go with everything... great in salads, tasty in the hand. Kids love them - put some in a packed lunch.
It is usually later in the year before the fruits are on sale in the shops - a small punnet with a few fruits. Home grown are of course so much tastier!
Plant your Cape gooseberries outdoors only when all chance of frost has passed - around mid-May. Do harden them off first - let them acclimatise by standing the seedlings in a shady spot outdoors for 1 hour longer every day for a week. You can then pot them up into a large pot (around 40 cm in diameter), 3 to a pot. They can now be placed in full sun. They will grow bigger and faster in the greenhouse but outdoors is fine as long as they are sheltered and in the sun.
Cape gooseberries can be planted in rows in the garden where it is sheltered but sunny - 70 cm apart. Provide each plant with a support and tie it carefully in, moving up the cane at least once a week. They will grow to 1-1.5 m high.
(Bumble) bees will pollinate the plants from June and the fruits will set easily enough. Try to avoid wetting the plant when watering - only water the soil, giving extra in dry periods. Keep the bed weed-free and the plants will thrive.
Harvest period: July to November.
Ripe fruits give a little when lightly pressed and have a nice yellow through to an orange tint. The green 'lantern' will have dried up by then. Use both hands and a pair of scissors or a sharp knife to pick them - avoid damaging the plant. Fallen fruit is good for a while and can still be eaten.

With the opening date of Christopher Nolan's Inception a little over a month away, it seems that the mystery behind the surreal thriller is becoming more clear. Three new TV spots all deal with the concept of "inception," the process of implanting an idea into the mind, the target of which is seen to be Cillian Murphy, as evidenced by his poster which describes him as "The Mark". All three spots show the PASIV device, the "dream machine" detailed in the latest Inception viral item, but the first spot also includes the new taglines of "one last job" and "one last chance" and Leonardo DiCaprio discussing how the "seed" implanted in Murphy "could change everything." The next two spots have DiCaprio talking about the "gravity" of an "inception" request and explaining how "inception" works to Ellen Page.
Inception also stars Tom Hardy, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Ken Watanabe.

Real Ventures' John Stokes: the Gordon Ramsay of Canadian Startups
At Montreal's historic Notman House, where many startups come to accelerate, one voice can almost always be heard above the rest. This is FounderFuel mentor and Real Ventures Partner John Stokes.
Some have called him the best thing that's ever come across their business. He's also been labeled the "resident Gordon Ramsay" of the FounderFuel program.
He's forward, honest and full of experience. And for many entrepreneurs at Notman House, a great person just to be around.
"John is really direct. There's no BS and there's no sugarcoating," says Richard Btaiche, who was part of FounderFuel's latest cohort with his company Fastgrab. "Sometimes at the beginning it was a bit tough to swallow but most of the time it makes sense."
The 44-year-old Stokes was born near Coventry, England, though he calls himself a "citizen of the world," holding both UK and New Zealand passports.
He has had a diverse career as an entrepreneur and investor having spent time building businesses in three different continents. Currently he serves as one of four partners at Montreal's Real Ventures, a VC that recently grabbed headlines as a co-investor in Cinemagram's massive $8.5 million cash injection.
As an ambitious young man he had the goal of being a millionaire by the time he was 30. It turned out to be a stepping-stone.
"When you get close to that thing you suddenly realize, 'what was the point of that?'" said Stokes. "It was then that I began moving away from 'how can I make money' to 'how can I build something great?'"
There have been several lessons along the way that have shaped who he is today. Take, for example, when he worked for Bell South (now Vodafone New Zealand) and forced himself to be the first one in the office every morning for six months straight. "It was unbelievable at how it changed everything about the way I worked," he noted.
Then there's the story about how he was building a business in Japan called Vogue Planet. The company wasn't making progress and Stokes decided that he simply had to work harder.
"So I decided that for the next year I would wear a suit to the office and if I wanted to take that suit off I had to earn it," said Stokes. "It made a massive difference just for my mind set and we ended up selling that business to FremantleMedia."
During what would be 10 years spent in Asia he also co-founded LiveDoor Group, Japan's first free Internet service provider. Raising $30 million, it was the largest investment in a startup in Japan at the time. After a difference of opinion Stokes eventually left.
Two years later the owners tried to sell the company after having invested $80 million. The company was bought for $1.1 million (Stokes bid $650,000).
He moved to Montreal in 2007 where he knew no one and was "sitting around for five months wondering what to do." Then he started a blog that turned into MontrealStartup.com, now a seed-level investor. The rest is history.
He now serves as a board member for several successful startups including Beyond The Rack, the company that is expecting to pull in over $200 million in revenue for 2013. Stokes recalls two co-founders who came to him with a PowerPoint presentation one day. They became the first company in MontrealStartup's portfolio. In hindsight Stokes calls it a brilliant decision, "but I didn't know that at the time".
His most notable characteristic may be the way he interacts with his entrepreneurs. It's not hard to see why he's been labelled a Ramsay. Just watch FounderFuel's reality TV series, "Make It or Break It," where Stokes is at his finest.
"John really cares," adds Mike Schmidt, Founder of LISTN. "He's a top notch mentor, a guy that makes things happen and he really makes the difference in your business."
Some admire his blunt personality. "I think it's his best trait, actually," affirms Navied Shoushtarian, CTO at LISTN. "He's straightforward and tells you what's on his mind and that's a very hard trait to come by in a lot of people now a days."
For Conor Clarke, Stokes may be brutally honest at times, but it's all part of telling someone what they truly need to hear. "He gets down to the point and he can find out that one really important point while getting rid of the fluff," explains the cofounder of Wavo.Me, one of the startups in FounderFuel's first cohort. "We'll get out of an hour-long meeting and he'll of been able to see things [that we should focus on] that we didn't catch."
If you ask Stokes, he says it's about giving people a wake up call when nothing else has worked.
"Sometimes something needs to be said for impact because they're just not realizing," said Stokes. "In a way I want to piss them off because I've tried arm-around-the-shoulder and it's not worked and nothing has changed, so maybe it's a quick shock. I want them to say, 'you know what John, I'll show you that you're wrong and I'm going to come back and do it,' and you know what? Great."
What's next for the accomplished investor? He wants to keep busy and continue to play his part in building an early-stage ecosystem for inspiring entrepreneurs.
"I've just got involved in a thing called the Forum for Arts and Business which is trying to instill some of the entrepreneurial mindset in some of the art companies in Montreal," he said. "Maybe it becomes more relevant when I talk about that kind of stuff to other industries; it's all about staying relevant."

MEDINA — This story — actually, it's two different stories — is about second chances.
Strongsville defeated Medina 70-62 Tuesday night in Northeast Ohio Conference Valley Division boys basketball action largely because 6-foot-6, 240-pound center Ray Hamilton had his way on the offensive glass.
The Bees (8-9, 4-4), meanwhile, lost for the eighth time in their last 10 games and will have to wait for the Midview Division I Sectional/District for a second chance to salvage their season.
"It's important we finish strong in the last three games," said Medina coach Jody Peters, whose team closes the regular season against Elyria, Hoban and Lakewood before opening tournament play against Elyria on March 2. "I'm sure our confidence is wavering.
"We just haven't done enough to win close games. Hopefully, it causes us to ask ourselves what more we could be doing."
The Bees weren't bad against the Mustangs (13-5, 6-2), they just weren't good enough.
Strongsville got 24 points from sharpshooter G. Gill, 17 points and eight rebounds from Iowa basketball recruit Aaron White and 15 points and 14 rebounds from Iowa football recruit Hamilton, who got six of his seven field goals on offensive rebounds.
"They're really hard to guard," Peters said. "They have two very potent offensive weapons in Gill and White that can go make shots. Hamilton has a one-track mentality: He's going to go after every stinkin' offensive rebound he can get. He really hurt us on the boards."
Medina got a game-high 28 points and eight boards from Michigan State recruit Kenny Kaminski, who kept his team in the game with 11 points in the first 5:57 of the fourth period, but no one else scored in double figures.
Mason Schreck had nine points and 10 boards and Jake Kinsey had nine points after missing the previous four games with a calf injury, but the Bees weren't able to get over the hump against the Mustangs, who went on a 13-0 run that spanned the second and third periods.
"We don't have the firepower to score points in bunches," Peters said. "If we can keep it close, we'll give ourselves a chance down the stretch."
The Bees had that chance until one pivotal sequence. With Medina down 61-57, Kaminski had a 3-pointer go in and out, with Strongsville's 6-7 White tipping the rebound to a teammate beyond the arc. Kyle Maehan then hit a 3-pointer at the other end, and instead of being within one, the Bees were down seven.
Kaminski drained a 25-footer to get Medina back within four, but the Mustangs scored the next six points to put the game out of reach.
"I know we can win," Peters said. "I know we can beat good people on our schedule. We just have to have a little more moxie, a little more want-to, when it comes to making hustle plays."
Medina lost the junior varsity game 46-34 despite eight points from Mike Ellenbest.
l The Bees fell 46-45 in overtime in the freshman game. A.J. Hoptry (11), Zach Machovina (11) and Michael Kaminski (10) scored in double figures for Medina.

The controversy over the Oregon-Washington State basketball game last week took a new turn Thursday when a key figure on the NCAA rules committee said an important element wasn't in place for game officials to levy a pivotal technical foul.
The controversy over the Oregon-Washington State men's basketball game last week took a new turn Thursday when a key figure on the NCAA rules committee said an important element wasn't in place for game officials to levy a pivotal technical foul.
Ed Bilik, secretary-editor of the rules committee, told The Times from his office in Georgia that "interference" by fans or players off the bench must impact play directly to warrant a technical.
Referring to the end-of-overtime chaos that turned an apparent WSU victory into an Oregon win, Bilik said, "The ball was never even taken out of bounds. So how could it interfere with continuous play? Basically, there was no interference in terms of the ball being put into play."
Bilik's comments came in the wake of an "end of the game reminder" he issued this week to NCAA officials and published on the NCAA Web site as a result of the WSU-Oregon controversy.

- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Five things to watch as Seahawks begin OTAs Monday

Most Read Stories
The first part of that advisory says, "When a delay by a jubilant follower(s) or bench personnel before player activity has been terminated does not prevent the ball from being put in play promptly or does not interfere with continuous play, the delay shall be ignored, order shall be restored and play shall be resumed."
The words "ignored," "restored" and "resumed" were underscored.
Upon receiving an explanation earlier from the Pac-10, WSU hadn't pressed the matter further. Thursday, attempts to reach WSU athletic director Jim Sterk and a Pac-10 official were unsuccessful.
Any redress for WSU likely would center on whether the technical is viewed as a judgment call, which would diminish its chances. This week, Pac-10 supervisor of officials Bill McCabe seemed to imply that it wasn't a judgment call when he told The Times, "I've told (officials), if it's a judgment call, I'll back you to the end. I know how hard judgment is. But don't you set aside a rule on me."
Oregon won in two overtimes, 91-89. After DeAngelo Casto broke a tie with three-tenths of a second left in the first overtime to put WSU ahead 80-78, a WSU player on the bench came well onto the floor waving a towel, followed by a fan.
Shortly thereafter, officials stopped play, conferred and levied a technical foul on the Cougars. Tajuan Porter hit both free throws for Oregon and the game went to a second overtime.
Bilik said he taped the game, and the video doesn't show an immediate move by Oregon to try to inbound the ball, which might have created the interference with "continuous play" mandated in the rules for a technical.
"Those people didn't interfere with that throw-in at all," Bilik said. "If the ball isn't prevented from being promptly put into play, the celebration can be ignored. From my perception, never did the Oregon player go out of bounds and become a thrower-in."
Further muddling the situation is that referee Mike Littlewood, who spoke to reporter Vince Grippi of The Spokesman-Review after the game, cited two passages of the rule book, but not Rules 10-2-9D or 10-6-2H, which address fans and bench players, respectively, improperly entering the court.
John Adams, coordinator of NCAA officials, said Bilik's end-of-game reminder "narrows down the definition of interference with continuous play. I'm supporting the process and the decision the referees used at the end of the game.
"I will not opine on anything other than what they did. They followed the rules and used their judgment and applied the rule."

Youngberg Hill is a proud Member of Select Registry. What makes Select Registry membership so special? Perhaps the most important distinction between a Select Registry member inn and any other is our system of quality assurance. Select Registry carries out a quality assurance inspection of each inns. This program involves independent inspectors – not employees of Select Registry – with years of experience in the hospitality industry. The inspectors arrive anonymously, spend the night, and evaluate the inn based on a detailed point system, which translates into a pass/fail grade for the inn. Thus, this process provides a guarantee to the traveling public that a Select Registry inn is in a class of its own. No other online directory or organization of innkeepers has a comparable inspection program. Select Registry has established quality as a hallmark of its member properties. All of our inns are "the best" – and our inspections prove it! Youngberg Hill is a location you Must see in your lifetime.

Oregon Bride Magazine Awards

Youngberg Hill Wins 2011 Oregon Bride Magazine Awards for 'Best Sunset Wedding Spot' AND 'Best All-Inclusive Wedding Venue'. We were also a finalist for 'Best Venue For Large Weddings' and 'Best Oregon Destination Venue'. These awards have so touched us as it is voted by the public and industry professionals. If I could reach through the computer and hug you for voting for us I would! It is a David & Goliath story as Youngberg Hill doesn't do as many weddings compared to others in these categories, so it is all that more special. It has truly been an honor to host weddings throughout the years. We know everyone personally and take great pride in greeting every guest as family and friends. Oregon Bride Magazine is the leading bridal publication in the area, with a readership of 95,000 per issue. A full listing of the 2011 Best of Bride winners is also available online by clicking here.
This has been an outstanding year as we received a Gold Medal for our 2008 Pinot Noir from Oregon Wine Award, an Award of Excellence from TripAdvisor, and now the Oregon Bride Awards. Our whole team is so proud to receive these awards. Thank you SO much for all your support!
Bloom in the Vineyard
July 8th, 2011 by Nicolette Bailey
Our weather is great for bloom and fruit set in the vineyard. With the anticipated warmth over the next few days, these flowers will bloom quite quickly and fruit set will be right behind. This means that the fruit will tend to grow and ripen evenly adding to the quality of the fruit. And look at the size of these flower buds. With an anticipated excellent fruit set, our cluster size will be large and full. Youngberg Hill and the Willamette Valley is having a great fruit set this year!
Natasha's Winemaker Notes
July 6th, 2011 by Nicolette Bailey
Natasha, our aspiring 11 years old winemaker in training, went to the winery to help trial the wines last week. She really wanted to get it right and took notes about the details that I thought you might enjoy.
* Measure and weigh precisely to get what you want or one thing could over power the other.
* You have to think strategy when doing this.
* Science and Math are important so I now know why I need to learn them in school.
* When you blend you have to see the strengths and weaknesses each wine has.
* Its ALL about the taste!
* Know the harvest dates on the wine as it makes a big difference what they are like. Blending different block wines but sometimes same wines from different dates harvested.
* Smell is like taste. If the smell is good you're going to want to taste it.
* Take Lots and LOTS of notes!
* You don't want to taste a wine that leaves a bitter taste in your mouth even when your blending:-(
*Keep track of things!
*Balance is important.
*Sometimes you have to add things in to get it the way you want. It could mean mixing 3 wines.
*Taking really good notes is important.
*Tweaking the wine a little bit to get what you want is harder then it seems.
* Math, Math, Math, and more math…
* You want it to taste like the best fruit EVER.
* How many cases do you want to produce. (Math again)
* As soon as you get what you want you can 'play' with other things. No playing until you get what you need.
*Astringent means something like cotton mouth??
* Don't jump into things. You have to consider every last detail.
*Perfect balance of everything is the goal of blending.
*Sometimes you just have to start over again. Which means more math!
* A good expression -subtle.

February is American Heart Month. For more information on risk factors and tips for preventing heart disease, visit the American Heart Association at http://www.heart.org.
February is American Heart Month. For more information on risk factors and tips for preventing heart disease, visit the American Heart Association at http://www.heart.org.
America's heart is in need of a workout.
A recent report by the American Heart Association found that the country's cardiovascular health is far from ideal.
Daily calorie consumption has climbed 10 percent for men and 22 percent for woman in three decades. Obesity rates are steadily increasing, with about two-thirds of adults overweight or obese. And physical activity levels are dropping; about one-third of adults engage in no physical activity, according to the American Heart Association.
But adults aren't the only ones with poor heart health.
One-third of children are overweight or obese in this country — a statistic mirrored at the local level. And only about half of Clark County 10th- and 12th-graders get 60 minutes of physical activity each day, according to the state's Healthy Youth Survey.
"We're producing a generation of kids that are going to be stressed with heart disease at much earlier rates," said Rainy Atkins, chief operating officer at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center and board member for the Oregon and Southwest Washington branch of the American Heart and Stroke Association.
"This is the first generation of kids with less life predicted than we had," she added.
Obesity is beginning at earlier ages, and with the extra pounds come health complications such as high blood pressure and hypertension, said Dr. Lian Shaw, cardiologist at Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center.
Good cardiovascular health is important for maintaining good quality of life and preventing the onset of heart disease and strokes, Shaw said. Poor heart health can also lead to high blood pressure, heart attacks, hypertension, abnormal heart rhythms and loss of function of extremities, he said.
While death rates for cardiovascular diseases are dropping, they still account for one-third of deaths in the U.S., according to the heart association. In Clark County, heart disease is a leading cause of death, second only to cancer.
To slow the prevalence of heart disease, people need to take action now, Shaw said.
"What we do today will affect us in the future," Shaw said. "We not only need to take care of ourselves but look at our children and think, 'Do I want my kids to have heart disease?'"
More young people are trading outdoor play for video games. Families are swapping healthful meals with convenient, and often high-fat, meals, Shaw said.
To improve heart health, Shaw suggests a diet with more fruits and vegetables and without high-fat foods. Keeping one's body mass index less than 25 is also important, he said.
Getting 30 minutes of exercise every day conditions the heart and body. Exercise also keeps the extra pounds off and lowers blood pressure, Shaw said. Kicking a cigarette smoking habit — or never starting — will also help foster good heart health, he said.
Small changes in daily routines can also make an impact, Atkins said.
Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Go for a 30-minute walk after work instead of watching a TV show. Substitute fruit for potato chips as afternoon snacks, Atkins said.
Taking action and addressing the areas within one's control, like diet and exercise, are important first steps, Shaw said.
"If you maintain a good lifestyle now, you can, in effect, have a brighter future with less cardiovascular complications," he said.

More Flies With Honey Then VinegarI am a firm believer that you can attract a lot more files with honey then vinegar. I try to be nice to people some times painfully nice. I also believe in karma, so what goes around will come around.

I believe that too. I always get a kick seeing that confused look on people's faces, whose anger & manipulations techniques are thwarted when I "kill them with kindness".
I agree about being nice but dont you find that you get **** on a lot by others that are only self, self, self.
I quite agree. Being nice to people is a social lubricant. x
So true, what goes around comes around.

As much as you paid for that Beemer [Mercedies, Audi, Escalade], I'm surprised it didn't come equipped with turn signals.
One great loss for Mankind...
I remember watching it on my Philco black and white TV. I was 13 that summer, had a big impact on me. RIP
I was in AIT at Fort Jackson, SC and they gave us a day off when it all happened.
My father thought that Armstrong's first steps were important enough that he let my brother and I stay up late to watch it live. That is still one of best childhood memories.
"When I hear another express an opinion, which is not mine, I say to myself, He has a right to his opinion, as I to mine; why should I question it. His error does me no injury, and shall I become a Don Quixot to bring all men by force of argument, to one opinion? If a fact be misstated, it is probable he is gratified by a belief of it, and I have no right to deprive him of the gratification."

Ride your Ride!!
What a weekend, I was 15; my Dad bought me a guitar after the lift-off, I went camping near San Luis Obisbo with a youth group. I learned to ride a motorcycle. A girl I knew went crazy over me . We all drove home and the moon landing was on TV so everyone in the car just stopped there and we all watched the first steps. Years later I got to meet him at the first L5 Convention, and since L5 buttons were in short supply, I gave him mine.
It is a shame that 'kids' born since then have not known what a true hero is...

I was 15 that summer. We were on a family trip visiting family in Alberta. Being a couple of time zones to the west, it was early evening when we were watching if I remember right.
One of those events that you will always associate with the time and place you saw it.
I watched every lift off and splash down that was televised. The Apollo 11 mission was the most thrilling thing I remember from the entire space program. All the astronauts trained as a part of their survival here at Aviation Indoctrination at N.A.S. Pensacola. The Kennedy speech was when I was in the first grade and I am one of the ones that went on to get an Engineering Degree out of the kids that were inspired by the space race. Mr. Armstrong did his primary flight training here at Corry Field (now an Information Warfare Center.) He was a great and humble man, went into Engineering education after he left the Astronaut Corps. I hope the nation realizes what important men all the Astronauts were/are to us. God Speed Neil Armstrong.

Entering this season, it appeared the Cardinals, A) should be able to run the ball more effectively than the previous three seasons under coach Ken Whisenhunt, and B) might have to because Kurt Warner no longer was at quarterback.
Both of the above turned out to be true, but a look at the team's rushing statistics tell a story about its offensive futility.
The Cardinals are averaging 4.3 yards a carry, 12th-best in the NFL and their highest since the 2002 season. Yet the Cardinals average just 80.2 yards rushing a game, 31st in the league.
So they obviously haven't run the ball enough. The reasons for that are as intertwined as the holiday lights you sloppily stored away last year. It's poor performance on third down (26.5 percent conversion rate, last in the NFL), falling too far behind, defensive failures that limit possessions and play calling.
"It's hard to establish a run game if you can't convert third downs," Whisenhunt said. "And also time of possession plays into it. We haven't had the ball a tremendous amount. Plus, trailing in games. It's easy to say you can run the football but when you're down a couple of scores in the second half, you don't have the time."
When Warner was quarterback, the pass was preferred, especially given that today's NFL rules are geared in the offense's favor. But even with Warner retired, the Cardinals are passing twice as much (67 percent) as they are running (33).
"We haven't been able to stay in games," left guard Alan Faneca said. "When you are playing catch-up, you have to get away from that. You can't run the ball and win the game when you're down 10 (points). You've got to put points on the board."
In six of their nine losses, the Cardinals have trailed by at least 10 points at halftime. In five of the nine, they have been behind by at least two touchdowns entering the fourth quarter.
"I'm sure for all of us, everyone on the football team at every position, it's frustrating," running back Beanie Wells said, "because we all know how good of a football team we can be, and how good at our position we can be. I definitely can see us getting frustrated, group by group."
This was supposed to be a breakout season for Wells, the 31st overall pick in the 2009 draft. As a rookie, he became the team's featured runner in the second half of the season and gained 91 yards in a playoff victory over Green Bay.
But Wells suffered a knee injury in camp and missed the first two games of the season after surgery. When starter Tim Hightower struggled with a fumbling problem, Wells started his first game. But he had a bad reaction to an injection the next day and has played a small role since.
Together, Hightower (519 yards) and Wells (307) will be fortunate to reach the 1,200-yard mark that eight runners did individually in 2009.
Whisenhunt, who calls the plays, has taken heat for the lack of production, too. In some close games this season, he has called pass plays when runs seem more appropriate, especially given the Cardinals' problems at quarterback.
Against Tampa Bay, for instance, the Cardinals had a first down at the Buccaneers 20-yard line with 2:15 left, trailing by three points. Quarterback Derek Anderson's pass was intercepted, and the Cardinals' best chance to tie was ruined.
Last week against the Rams, the Cardinals trailed by 10 points late in the third quarter when Whisenhunt replaced Anderson with Max Hall, a rookie.
Three consecutive passes were called, and Hall was sacked, threw incomplete and then was intercepted.
Whisenhunt said later he thought passes downfield would be open because the Rams would bring pressure.
Second-guessing play calls is a favorite pastime for anyone who follows football, and Whisenhunt does it himself, no matter the game's outcome.
"I know you guys go back and do that," Whisenhunt said, smiling, to reporters. "That's part of it. We can all talk about the Tampa Bay game where we had it, two minutes (left) at the 20-yard line. Do you run the ball there? If I knew we would have an interception, absolutely, we would run the football there.
"There's a lot of those types of scenarios. Those are the kinds of things that, when you haven't won enough games, keep you up at night."

For centuries, microscopic mites have been part of the process for making Mimolette, a mild cheese shaped like a cannonball and electric orange in color. For decades, the cheese has been imported from France and distributed to shops and stores across the United States.
That is, until this spring, when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began blocking shipments of the Gouda-like product at U.S. ports, leaving thousands of pounds of it stranded in warehouses from New Jersey to California.
The FDA says inspectors found too many cheese mites per square inch crawling on the cantaloupelike rinds of Mimolette, raising health concerns. (The agency has a target value of 6 mites per square.) But the agency hasn't explained why it began holding up the cheese shipments after decades of relatively few problems.
The move has provoked outrage among the small-but-fervent band of Mimolette fans, who are fretting about what it means for the fate of other cheeses that rely on mites as part of the aging process.

"It's completely natural. You have bugs on every single cheese you leave in the open air," said Benoit de Vitton, North American representative for Isigny Sainte-Mère, a top exporter of Mimolette based in Normandy. "You can't have Mimolette without cheese mites. It wouldn't be Mimolette."
The protests, which have occurred on both sides of the Atlantic, include a recent Facebook campaign by Jill Erber, who with her husband runs Cheesetique shops in Alexandria and Arlington, Va. "In protest — and in honor of Mimolette, which has been made the same way since King Louis XIV declared it the National Cheese of France, Cheesetique is giving away Mimolette for free … All you have to do is post a photo of yourself frowning pathetically on our Facebook page."
Scores of gloomy-faced photos began rolling in, from as far as Switzerland. A man and his parrot stared sullenly at the camera. A little girl pouted. A bride holding a bouquet looked indignant.
The cheese-mite tempest began in March, when the FDA stopped a shipment of Mimolette from Isigny, citing the product as "filthy," "putrid" and unfit for consumption. Subsequent shipments also got held up, de Vitton said, and the company soon halted shipments to the United States. De Vitton said mites accumulate on the outside of Mimolette during the months it is stored in caves to age. Before shipping, workers brush off the rinds and spray them with compressed air to get rid of most of the mites. "But if you have just one or two mites on the rind, they will reproduce during transportation," de Vitton said, adding, "No one eats the rind."
FDA records show that other shipments of Mimolette from companies other than Isigny have been detained recently, but agency officials say there is no official "ban."
The crackdown has struck a nerve. In New York, protesters took to the streets in April to hand out samples of Mimolette to draw attention to the dispute.
Cathy Strange, global cheese buyer for Whole Foods Market, said the chain has been buying as much remaining Mimolette as it can. "It's one of those unique cheeses that not too many people know about … It's one of my favorites. It would be in my top 10."

Published Oct. 19, 2011
U.S. Rep. Tim Scott told a roomful of manufacturers Tuesday evening that the government needs to get out of the way to let the private sector create jobs.
Scott, R-S.C., proposed reducing the corporate tax rate, limiting federal regulators and allowing repatriation of profits. He said those three measures would create American jobs.
He spoke during the annual meeting and dinner of the Lowcountry Manufacturers Council at Trident Technical College. About 400 people attended.
Scott said government should lower the corporate tax rate from 35% to somewhere in the 20s and eliminate regulations. Scott criticized the National Labor Relations Board, Food and Drug Administration and Environmental Protection Agency for "meddling" in the private sector.
Specifically, he cited the NLRB case against the Boeing Co. for opening a final assembly and delivery plant in North Charleston for its 787 Dreamliner.
"We're going to sue America's greatest and largest exporter at a time when our president says we need to double our exports," Scott said.
He asked the audience whether it noticed the gridlock in Washington. Scott said a philosophical disconnect about how jobs are created is driving the gridlock.
"The fact is that the philosophical challenge we have in the nation starts with the concept on one side that simply says that the federal government creates jobs," Scott said, adding that the other side believes the private sector creates jobs.
Scott said the job creators are not in Washington but were at the manufacturers council's meeting.
"The government doesn't create jobs," Scott said, adding that government needs to get out of the way. "And when we move out of the way, good things actually happen. We need certainty; we need predictability."

(He even had them playing the new fashion board game called Fashion Rules! - which was produced by LA's Margaret Maldonado Agency, and comes out this November for Christmas.) The result was fashion meets art meets one exceptional LA fashion crowd: including actresses Rachel Griffiths, Entourage's Perrey Reeves, actor Elijah Wood with Gogol Bordello's Pam Racine, singer Ben Lee with actress Ione Skye, celebrity stylist superstars Maryam Malakpour, Elizabeth Stewart, Jane Ross, Patrik Milani, Tanya Gill, Arianne Phillips, Magda Berliner, George Kotsiopolous, designers Bridget Romanek, Rosetta Getty (ex of Balthazar), Katy Rodriguez, Margaret Maldonado of the new L'Agence line, LA county museum curator Michael Govan and his wife Katherine Ross of LVMH, and even a surprise visit from YSL's Stefano Pilati - in town to shoot the YSL spring ad campaign. "It is an inventive and innovative way to show clothes," Pilati said, admiringly, visiting stylist pal Patrik Milani. Also on hand were party producer Bryan Rabin, NY shutterbug Patrick McMullen, and Kelly Styne and Julia Sorkin, jewellery designer Liseanne Frankfurt - and plenty of editors and fashionistas and local arty types.

Cause Marketing: How Much is Enough?
Primary tabs
Cause Marketing: How Much is Enough?
$10,000, $100,000 or $1 million – how much is enough for a company to invest in a cause?
It's a question Cause Marketing Forum president, David Hessekiel, broaches in his "Marketing:causes" column this week, among other cause marketing complexities. The answer, of course, is it depends. The moment marketers try to ascribe a cause marketing "formula" from one company, product or issue to the next may be the moment authenticity goes out the window. After all, it's all arbitrary unless considered in context of the full campaign. Forget preconceived notions, and instead, strive for a sensible ratio between marketing spend and cause investment, thinking strategically about the appropriate figure.

College Hockey:Morrison Scores Twice to Lead Colorado College, 3-1
Zulianello, Tigers Remain Undefeated With Win Over Tech
HOUGHTON, Mich. — Justin Morrison scored two first-period goals and Colin Zulianello made 21 saves in his first start of the season as Colorado College defeated Michigan Tech 3-1 on Friday night.
Alex Kim scored the Tigers' final goal and Paul Manning had two assists for CC (3-0-0, 3-0-0 WCHA).
Jarrett Weinberger had the only goal for Tech (1-4-1, 1-4-0) and Brian Rogers turned in another impressive performance with 40 saves.
The host Huskies failed to score on any of their seven power-play opportunities
"I was pleased with our defensive play and our penalty-killing," Colorado College coach Scott Owens said. "It isn't very often that you're going to give up that many power-play opportunities and still win the game."
Morrison opened the scoring at 7:31 of the opening period on an assist from defenseman Paul Manning. The play started at the other end when Zulianello made a brilliant save on a shorthanded breakaway by Weinberger.
The Tigers made it 2-0 at the 17:24 mark when Morrison was credited with an unassisted goal that appeared to go off a Tech player before going into the net.
Weinberger cut the lead to 2-1 when he scored on a rebound at 16:21 of the middle period.
But Kim put the game away when he took a pass from Manning and beat Rogers up high to make it 3-1 at 14:29 of the final period.
Said Michigan Tech coach Tim Watters: "They're a great hockey team that really exposed some of our weaknesses tonight. I thought that the only guy that prepared himself to play a full 60 minutes tonight was Brian Rogers."
Rogers kept the Huskies in the game with several tremendous saves from close range while his team struggled to find some offense.
Zulianello, who backed up Jeff Sanger in CC's first two games, made the most of his season debut. "I thought he made a huge save on the breakaway before we scored the first goal," Owens said. "That was a huge play. I thought he hung in there well, especially on the power-play opportunities."
The two teams meet again Saturday night at 7:35 p.m. Eastern.
