|Front Page Knickerbockers Eye Diamond Lake
Rumor Has it That Electric Will Build to Lake and That Big Ice Houses Will be Erected There
There is a rumor about Diamond Lake that the Knickerbocker Ice Company is trying to purchase a tract of land from the Charles Bartlett farm. It is said the concern is seeking to gain title to some eighty acres and will build immense ice houses if it succeeds.
The Knickerbocker company already has a long term lease upon twenty-seven acres of land adjoining that it now seeks to purchase and has ice houses theron at the present time. However, the houses have fallen into disuse and are somewhat out of repair. It is thought that perhaps the company plans to build new ones and make the lake the center of operations for the future instead of going farther from Chicago for ice.
It is the talk of some who know, however, that the ice is not to go to Chicago. It is reported that the electric road, which now runs to Rockefeller, will build a branch south three-quarters of a mile to the lake and that the Knickerbocker people hope thus to get into touch with the entire lake shore, furnishing Waukegan and all other shore cities with ice via the electric.
It is believed they could successfully break into the field and with the lake in proximity and the cheap rates the electric could afford to carry their product for, could cut well under the prices of the present suppliers of the product. Should this be the aim of the company the negotiations said to be under way can the more readily be understood.
Libertyville at the present gets its entire supply of ice from Diamond Lake. There is one drawback, according to those living about the lake, and that is that the ice field is not big enough to furnish ice for a really large house. The lake is filled about its edges with rushes and is valuable mainly as a fishing resort. The clear space in the lake is none too large and this is said to have been the reason that mammoth ice houses have not bordered its shores long ere this.
Yet there may be much in the rumor and another year may see Waukegan and the other lake shore cities being supplied with ice over the Chicago & Milwaukee Electric and from central Lake county lakes instead of from the Wisconsin lakes as been the custom to the present time.

|Front Page Flip-Flop Machine Success
Clayton Dean's Somersaulting Machine to Be Put on by Wallace's Show
Man Rides in Car and Performs Stunts
Clayton C. Dean, of Ivanhoe, is nearing his ambitions. Some two years ago he conceived the idea that if he could find a docile automobile and sufficiently train it so that it would eat from his hand and do his bidding to the extent of turning somersaults in the air he could get rich. If he could get it to turn somersaults with a man in it he thought he could get richer and if it could be induced to turn two somersaults with two men he would thrive as Creosus.
Yesterday at Libertyville, behind Laycock's machine shop, his automobile at his word of command rose, turned and landed square and carefully -- and there was a man in the seat. Clayton C. Dean beamed with joy. It was the firest time that a man had dared to ride the bucking autocar. Before he had tried it upon cheap subjects, namely, bags of sand.
The young man who rode the car is Hal Crandall, a daring performer of daring tricks, who travels with the mammoth Wallace Hagenbeck shows and earns big money for daily defying death during the show season. With him was Fred O. Gregg, who will act as manager of the performance which the show will put on this coming summer. Mr. Gregg himself is one of the famous Gregg Brothers, "Demon Twins," as the flaring posters define them. The two Greggs present all sorts of daring and dangerous cycle novelties, looping the loop, leaping the gap, and doing various hair-curling stunts for the edification of the public.
Hal Crandall, who demonstrated the ability of Mr. Dean's automobile to turn somersaults, will greatly improve the trick. He proposed to turn a double somesault [sic] in the car at the top of a tall tower. The car will land upon an inclined plane and shoot down it at a terriffic [sic] rate of speed. At the bottom will be a "gap" and it is over this gap that the car will make its sensational plunge.
In this thrilling mid-air somersault and leap the gap in an automobile, as the billboards will read, he will be accompanied by a lady to make the stunt the more thrilling.
Yesterday at Libertyville the somersault was highly successful. It worked like a charm, as about half the village which was watching it expectantly will afirm. Mr. Crandell takes naturally to these things. He had never seen the thing work but a couple of times, but it looked good to him and he had faith.
To be sure he was bothered a little by a few broken bones which had not much more than healed, which he received in other experiments, but he joyfully entered into the pastime. His partner, Gregg, has also had his troubles. He showed scars on his head, on his hands, store teeth which replace those he grew and admitted that he was a few ribs short.
The Wallace Hagenbeck people will put the act on this summer. With the brains of Crandall and Gregg to conceive sensational features for it, it will be a success. They will have Mr. Dean's flip flop machine famous before next fall.
The method of somersault turning is simple. A weight of some 1,400 pounds is used upon a lever. Chains are so arranged that with the falling of a lever the autocar is borne skyward, turns and lands upright. To make two turns in the air, a complete double somersault, is but a matter of leverage. It is two somersaults and a downward dash, a leap through space and a "finis" that will either bring Mr. Crandall big money next fall or furnish another job for the undertaker and a little more work for the casket maker.

Let me tell you a little about myself.
My birthday is 08/09/1994. I am seventeen years old (I'm of age, haha(: ), but I turn eighteen in less than a month. I was born on a military base in Tacoma, Washington, but now I live in Denver, Colorado. My email is email@example.com for anyone who wants to email me about my stories. I am also a member at www.harrypotterfanfiction.com and I am known as Number_One_Ravenclaw_Forever there, so feel free to check out my stories there and the millions of other author's there. And lastly, I love reading the Harry Potter series fom J.k. Rowling, I love reading Harry Potter stories from other people, and I love writing my own Harry Potter stories!!!(:
DISCLAIMER: Unfortunately, I am not J.K. Rowling. Never was, not am now and never will be. No matter how much I wish to be her genius, it will never happen. So, inspite of that, all of my stories will be playing with the wonderful world she has created for us to enjoy. And for this kidness, I thank her!!!(:

La Parguera Travel Guide
Despite the tourist veneer, the former fishing community of LA PARGUERA has managed to retain a modicum of rustic charm, especially on weekdays, with its weatherboard housing and tightly packed streets. But the real draw lies along the coast: Parguera's unique offshore environment, a patchwork of placid lagoons, extensive coral reefs and mangrove-smothered cays, is a water wonderland, known rather grandly as a "barrier reef-fringing mangrove ecosystem". Beyond this lies some of the best diving anywhere on the island, a huge drop-off known as La Pared ("the wall") that runs for 32km parallel to the south coast. A short drive to the east is the Bahia de Fosforescente, the island's most accessible bioluminescent bay, though thanks to pollution, the least impressive. And at the end of the day, the ensemble of down-to-earth pubs serving hearty Puerto Rican snack food, and punchy local sangría makes for entertaining eating and drinking, especially on weekends.
La Parguera's transformation has been rapid, even by Puerto Rican standards. In 1945 it was a tiny backwater of just 24 fishing families; the first hotel was built in 1955, but as recently as the early 1970s it was best known for its mud-spattered streets and cavorting feral hogs. It now welcomes over 100,000 visitors a year and, as elsewhere, flashy condo development has arrived on the outskirts. If you're here in summer, try to catch the Procesión de San Pedro on June 29, honouring the local patron saint. Headed by an effigy of St Peter, the procession begins on foot before taking to a flotilla of boats and making a festive tour of the nearby cays.

you know that i bought it at that price!!!
although it's not used for educational purposes, we've used it several to look at where other cities or countries in relation to where we live. one day i looked at it and the stark black and white-ness, looked so bad to me. so i decided to paint it.
Bear is even more excited to use it now! right now, we are participating in a postcard exchange through Teach Preschool. {more info in our Homemade Postcard post} i also solicted help from all of my friends on facebook to send us postcards too. the next mail project we will be participating in is a sticker exchange! so excited!

And now, on to "Uncharted 3"!
Here's Part 17 [FINAL] of my playthrough of "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves," part of the "Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection."
"Uncharted 2: Among Thieves" is an action-adventure platform video game played from a third-person view, with the player in control of Nathan Drake. The story follows Drake, as he travels around the world, along with Chloe Frazer and old friends Elena Fisher and Victor Sullivan, to find the fabled Cintimani Stone and Shangri-La in a race against Serbian mercenaries. The plot draws heavy inspiration from Marco Polo and his travels through Asia, which influence many plot points along the way.
This is a full playthrough of "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves" on PlayStation 4, and there will be a review at the end.

"Very handy"
I really like these, they are easy to use, durable and hold hay from wider bales. The zippers are easy and they fold flat for storage. Makes carrying easy!
"I like these"
I have two bags this size and two that are the full-size. I like them a lot and use at least 2 of them every day. They're nice because they keep my hay clean and dry and when I'm not using them, they fold flat and store easily. I just wish that when I needed to load the hay into them that they'd stand up and keep their shape without collapsing on me. When they were new they were stiff and stood pretty good, but since they're used so often, over time they've become loose and are no longer stiff enough to stand up without collapsing. That makes it hard to load the hay into them.
