A U.S. Coast Guard pilot originally from St. Mary's City rescued three boaters in the Pacific Ocean last month.
Keith Roberts piloted a Coast Guard rescue helicopter with two crew members to save three fishermen whose boat sank Jan. 27 while fishing for hagfish about 20 miles off the coast of Northern California.
The fishing vessel sank within a couple minutes after the crew heard a loud thump, according to an article in the Del Norte Triplicate newspaper. The boat may have hit something in the water, the crew speculated.
The three men onboard were able to eventually get into an inflatable survival boat, where they floated about nine miles toward land before being rescued by Roberts and his crew.
Roberts, 36, grew up in St. Mary's City. He attended the Lexington Park Christian School, which is now The King's Christian Academy, and graduated in 1993 from St. Mary's Ryken High School.
Tom Maday and his family lived next door to Roberts' parents, Phil and Nancy. Maday said that the families were close, and that both he and Keith's father had high expectations for the future Coast Guard pilot.
"His father and I used to talk over the driveways," Maday said.
Though Roberts' parents are no longer living, Maday said he keeps up with Roberts and his siblings through Christmas cards.
"It's fun to stay abreast of the kids as they step out of high school" into careers and lives of their own, Maday said.
After earning a degree in mechanical engineering, Roberts spent nine years as a pilot in the Navy before switching to the Coast Guard four years ago. He said he switched service branches in part because of his family.
He was stationed in Savannah, Ga., for a few years before being transferred to his current location at Humboldt Station along Northern California's coastline.
"We're basically just a pickup truck. We go and pick them up out of the water and get them back to safety and hand them over to emergency services," he said.
Roberts said he figures he has rescued 14 people during his time with the Coast Guard.
Roberts credited the emergency dispatch center's ability last month to narrow down the location of the fishermen's distress call. The boaters were able to put out a mayday call, but it was not particularly clear what their exact coordinates were, he said.
"I've listened to it five times and all I can hear is static," he said.
The dispatchers were able to narrow down the search area, and from there the rescue relied on the eyes of Roberts and his crew.
The helicopter searched for about 45 minutes to an hour, about half of their available search time. He said there were a lot of dungeness crab pot buoys in the water, but that one particular spot in the open water looked unique.
"We saw something that looked unusual," Roberts said. The helicopter looped around and began circling what was a survival raft.
"The guys were standing up inside of it waving. They were very happy to see us," he said.
All three men were rescued about two hours after the initial distress call. They were taken to a nearby hospital once the helicopter returned to shore and were released.

5 College Degrees for Aspiring Journalists to Pursue
July 16th, 2013 by admin
If you are someone who wants to write an editorial, you are looking to participate in the journalistic process and to get your name and your viewpoint out there. However, DIRECT TV Tampa, if you do not have any experience writing for a paper, there are a few tips to keep in mind. First, know what your point is. Your headline will help people figure out what you are saying, but you have to write as if there is not going to be one. Think about what you want to say and distill the entire point into a single sentence. This helps you keep your focus. Remember that you should always use an inverted pyramid structure when you are looking at writing for a news source. This means that the most important and pertinent facts in your story should always come first. Get the who, what, where, when why and how out there immediately. Do your research. No one is going to be fact checking your editorial, and unless you want to look quite foolish, double-check everything that you are considering. If you are writing an editorial, get to the point, and then stick with it! Prevent your editorial from wandering at all costs.

NEW JERSEY -- On 11/24/2009 I had a medical procedure that amounted to $10,779.00. I was informed that this procedure was covered my Cigna insurance. On 01/27/2009, the service provider sent me a letter that was addressed to an incorrect mailing address. The letter stated the Cigna send a notice to the provider on 12/18/09 that they are not obligated to pay any portion of the claim because of the provider's waiver of co-insurance and deductible. For years, this provider had wave co-insurance and deductibles and was notified of the Cigna change after my service were provided.
About 2 months ago, I was contacted by a collection agency demanding payment of $10,779.00. I called Cigna on 6/23/12 and was informed that it appeared that the claim was denied incorrectly and was scheduled to be re-opened and to call back in about 15 days. On 7/5/12, I did a follow-up call and was informed that the claim was being reviewed. On 7/23/12, I called again and was informed that claim was active and call back in 15 days. On 8/8/12 I placed another call and was informed that a service representative call and informed me that I would have to file an appeal due to the claim is now over 2 years old. I am now appealing the claim and awaiting disposition.
Meanwhile, debt collection company is now calling and for payment. I am trying to hold the off because I am on fixed income and no means to repay $10,779.00 to repay this amount. Now they are possible reporting this on my credit file and at 68 I may have to file bankruptcy to get out of the debt.
EDEN PRAIRIE, MINNESOTA -- I'm have been on Cigna as insurance for 8 months. I have been with the same therapist for many years, using the insurance plans offered through the companies I've worked for. I suffer from mild depression and working with a therapist has helped my quality of life immensely. I recently received something in the mail from Cigna.
A letter that begins: "Have you recently experienced trouble concentrating or sleeping? Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious or withdrawn, or having difficulty adjusting to a major life change? Did you know there's a free service through your medical benefits that can help you manage your symptoms? Recently, a claim we received from either your doctor or pharmacy, or information from a health assessment you completed, has helped us identify you as someone who may benefit from this program."
I am feeling completely violated by this. I have never had an insurance company feel they were entitled to step in and comment on my private health information or assume they were qualified to inject one of their staff into my life to comment on personal health issues. It's like a new level of intrusion. How could this possibly be in compliance with HIPAA?
My expectation is that an insurance company can approve or deny claims, not that they can administer care or provide health care advice. Cigna has taken my health care information--either privileged information that I share with my doctor or specifics of medications that I have been prescribed, and run it through a marketing program that would identify me as someone they could put into a bucket for solicitation about a mental health "coaching product" they offer.
I'll be taking this up with my doctor as well as the attorney general about privacy and legality. I can't just let this end with Cigna pushing the envelope with methods that are intended to intimidate patients into ending medical care that is of a highly private nature. I'm sure it would be quite convenient if Cigna could get me to end my therapy with a qualified physician with whom I've been working for years, and call their free "phone coach" for therapy instead, but this is totally unacceptable to me.
I don't want Cigna to monitor my private health care and diagnoses and offer me tailored marketing based on their business objectives. I pay my premiums, percentages and copays and am entitled to proper medical care. So I have two choices: 1. End my care so that they no longer have access to my private health care information and diagnoses, or 2. Fight back and tell Cigna that I don't want them using my private health care information and diagnoses for anything other than a yes/no vote in their claims system. Knowing that my disapproval with their policy won't be enough to bring about change, I have no choice but to bring this issue to a wider audience.
LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION -- Where to even begin? I have been fighting Cigna for 4 long years regarding my short and long term disability insurance. Like others who have testified on this site, my benefits were abruptly shut off and then I experienced a continual denial on each appeal for various different reasons starting with "We don't doubt that you have suffered from various medical problems, but believe they do not constitute total disability" to that of a "preexisting condition". Cigna utilizes an in-house nurse to rubber stamp rejections as their supposed medical review process.
I suffer from Interstitial Cystitis, Fibromyalgia, Depression, IBS, Degenerative Back Disease, Vulvodynia, and Migraine Headaches. My medical records contain letters from 4 different urologists that state I must undergo long term narcotic therapy for chronic pain due to an incurable disease which causes intractable pain. My pain management doctor has attested to my inability in maintaining employment due to both physical and psychological limitations.
Like others on this site have stated prior to my review, Cigna ignored my doctors reports and medical records which declared me disabled. They also ignored the fact that the Social Security declared me disabled and incapable of any performing any occupation. In addition, Cigna has never even requested a physical examination performed on me by a doctor of their choice.
I appealed Cigna's denial decision to the State Medical Board. The State Medical Board required Cigna to have an "outside" (Cigna paid) medical doctor review my case. Cigna's doctor reviewed my medical records. There is no surprise that he denied my claim. The doctor was blatantly unfamiliar with my primary disease (IC), and he could not even read my diagnosis reports. The State Medical Board could not require Cigna to pay my claim, and they suggested that I hire a lawyer and take legal action against Cigna.
I hired an attorney who works on a 40% retainer with $400 down. At this point, Cigna came through with a chump change settlement offer which I declined. Cigna only offered to pay my entire claim/policy off for just 2 years of payments which would constitute the lookback period of whether I can work "any occupation". The case is now in court awaiting the judges decision.
According to the policy, the question to the court now is not whether I am disabled, but whether Cigna's administrator was "arbitrary and capricious" in making their denial decision. Of course they were "arbitrary and capricious" in their decision. but this is huge hurdle to prove and really irrelevant, I am disabled and deserve my money.
From reading comments made on the reviews posted, the majority of people do not understand their employers disability policies or ERISA law. You cannot sue for or collect punitive damages (pain, suffering, mental anguish) against the insurance company. You may only collect what is due to you under the policy adjusted for cost of living and interest. That includes the fact that I cannot recoup my doctor and prescription costs which I paid out of pocket during the 4 years that my insurance and prescription benefits were also denied. With all this being so, there is absolutely NO incentive for Cigna to pay ANY claim.
WARNING: Therefore, it is best NOT to pay for disability insurance through your employer (which falls under ERISA laws), but protect yourself and family by buying outside independent insurance. Paying through your employer is just flushing good money down the drain. DON'T DO IT.
At this time, I am hoping for a favorable ruling from the court. If so, as I state above I will be out 40% to the lawyer and will not recoup any out of pocket doctor's office or prescription expenses occurred over the past 4 years. My lawyer has informed me that if we Win the case he expects Cigna to appeal. My lawyer has also told me that if Cigna appeals he will not continue to work the case on a contingency basis but need upfront payment.
This entire process of dealing with Cigna has been a nightmare. I have exhausted my 401K in medical bills and living expenses. FYI-God forbid that you should ever find yourself in a similar situation. If so, my best advice is to ask for a copy and review your disability file from Cigna regularly. Make this request in writing sent certified. You will find that Cigna purposely omits information that bolsters you case, and Cigna purposely inserts information that makes you appear unavailable and unresponsive to their requests.
This employer insurance is a SHAM and need serious reform. I am at a loss as to why this is not covered in detail by the media and news programs. Someone somewhere is making BIG money and must be paying others to keep hush. You have now been warned. Consider yourself lucky and protect yourself and your family appropriately.
EDEN PRAIRIE, MINNESOTA -- I am not aware if CIGNA provides FSA management for other companies, but as a CIGNA employee spouse I am appalled at the lack of communication and the frustration of processing a request for reimbursement from my Flexible Spending Account.
I had $2500 from my FSA for 2013, my son had orthodontia on 12/31/13. This is a qualifying expense for the year 2013. I waited for the processing of my dual dental coverage, but there continued to processing issues. I could no longer wait to file my request for reimbursement as the deadline for submission had approached. I submitted the information I had indicating payment to the Orthodontist of $2475 and an EOB from a dental insurer indicating treatment began in December 2013.
CIGNA's explanation of eligible orthodontia services being reimbursable clearly indicates that "reimbursement can be made once charges have been billed. This can be a one-time fee less any amount paid." The total billed for orthodontia is approximately $6000, I have paid a portion and dental insurance will eventually pay the rest. NOWHERE does it indicate that FSA will be reimbursed to the member / client / customer based on date paid.
Per the IRS Orthodontia is an eligible medical expense and "distributions from a health FSA must be paid only to reimburse you for qualified medical expenses you incurred during the period of coverage." The period of coverage for my service was 2013.
STOP WITHHOLDING MY MONEY!! The FSA has a use-it-or-lose-it policy and a dollar limit, so that people don't shelter income tax-free. The other advantage people have to use a FSA is access to the money for qualified expenses during the plan year before they have contributed all the earmarked funds. BUT CIGNA is not accountable – I am accountable to the IRS, so GIVE ME MY MONEY!
ORTHODONTIA is not special – it may be paid differently when processing it as a dental claim – BUT CIGNA YOU ARE NOT PROCESSING A CLAIM FOR PAYMENT TO A PROVIDER! This is my money; this was my qualified medical expense during my qualified plan year. There is nothing more to process.
MOOSIC, PENNSYLVANIA -- I left Cigna on 9/7/13 (gave 2 week notice) they sent my last check to me. However on Monday 12/2/13 I received a letter stating they overpaid me by almost 800.00 in PTO days... they want payment in full by 12/12/13. I am so furious that it took them 3 months to figure out that they overpaid me which I request proof of my PTO days that I took and what I was allowed and it will take 7-10 business days. How dare they do this to me. Is there anything I can do about this if I do owe them the money?
WESTON -- This medical management and Medicare affiliate company offers many nice amenities, free exercise work-out facility access, transportation to medical-dental appointments and a small monthly allowance for OTC (over-the-counter) medications and left-over dollars roll-over each month. This all sounds good and looks good on an advertisement. This is a good draw for retired and disabled persons living on fixed incomes of just a thousand dollars or less per month. We manage but there's not much left over for extras.
The problem is, mainly with transportation and customer services' ability to resolve an issue. We need transportation to get to and from appointments. No-shows and being late is a consummate problem. Customer service personnel are surly, argumentative. Many, disrespectfully, presume first names when addressing their patrons. They hang-up on you. They make a relatively, easy encounter stressful. My daughter, uses a wheelchair, was refused transportation because she, allegedly, had used up her transport quota.
Our agent was incredulous to explain this misinformation. He made a call to customer service said we would get a call. I got a voice-mail. We returned the call. We left a message with a live person but never heard from this person. Our agent followed-up to see what happened? We told him we were filing a grievance. On a call to customer service, I recognized her voice and her name but she, totally, denied any knowledge of having tried to contact me. It was her. Go figure. Right? We mailed a grievance around June 2013. One person left a voice-mail, 09/04 @ 9:20 am. Nine days later after (4) return calls to her voice-mail we've received no further response.
OTC? About 8:30 am, 09-11-2013, I was hung-up on (3) times on (3) separate calls by (3) separate clerks before, on the 4th attempt I got a clerk capable and willing to dispense week later I called to inquire, as my meds had not arrived. The insurance clerk gave me a postal tracking number and told me to call my local post office. I did. They told me the package was there and it would be delivered in a few days. About, 08/15/2013, a clerk told me it was their (Cigna) responsibility to track the order and she did telling me the items were at the post office and would arrive, shortly. I left for vacation from 8/21-8/28.
The meds had not arrived. On, 08 /29 I called again asking for a supervisor. This person apologized for the confusion. My item arrived about, 09/03. I called (Cigna) and, actually, got the same guy who, originally, placed the order. He tried to give me the track number again. I refused telling him that was his job not mine. I suggested that he cancel the order and submit a new order, as the delivery time had surpassed its allotted time. I asked, why, who at Cigna had diverted the original order from UPS to the local post office? And, why, were their personnel instructing clients to track packages?
P.O. BOX 696018, TEXAS -- BEWARE SENIORS OR ELIGIBLE MEDICARE RECIPIENTS!!!! Check Medicare vs. Advantage replacement plans before you sign up!!! They will offer you "fluffs", and you will pay more out of pocket than original Medicare!!! Cigna's Medicare Access Plan (PFFS) 2010 does not pay for some medications that have to be administered by a physician in their office. Cigna states that the medication (medical Botox) has to go through their Part B; they gave me the run-around. I have been told more than 4++ (I lost count) different excuses from Cigna.
Here is their latest "Mumbo Jumble" that was stated by a company representative (SUPERVISOR) in Arizona: "Yes, we do cover the ADMINISTRATION of medically necessary medications MEDICARE PART B-but, you must meet your $3,000 deductible; any and all the co-payments that you have made throughout the year do not count." I reminded that their contract stated that an individual on their plan is only responsible for a $20.00 co-payment for a specialist MAXIMUM. Then, ** stated that Part B was separate from a regular office visit for the administration of the drug.
CIGNA insisted that I had to get this drug from their pharmacy (covered under "Argis-I am guessing their preferred drug company 'Medco' uses this pharmacy."). First, Cigna's Part D called and told me I would have to pay $241.00 out of pocket. Then, they called back and stated that the cost would be $999.60 out of pocket.
Again, Cigna called and stated that the drug would cost $940.00 out of pocket. ** called and stated that she could get the drug for $760.00, but... I still did not meet my $3,000 out of pocket for the neurologist, so, I would have to pay for the drug and an out-of-pocket expense for the doctor to administer it (they told the Botox Assistance Programs that they were going to pay for it). I called Medicare; they told me that if I had regular Medicare after I met Part B deductible, that my cost would only be 20%. Medicare stated that these replacement, access, etc. could make up their own rules without government regulations.
Now, I had to reschedule my appointment for December 21st, 2010 until after the January 1st, 2011, when regular Medicare kicks in. I am in so much pain that it is difficult lying in bed to type this. My neck, face, jaw, and eyelids are in painful spasms. I have had surgeries, pain management without any relief. I am a disabled RN due to a patient assault. I thought Cigna was a good company; I should have googled them instead of trusting them prior to signing up with them (I was ill when I signed up with them, and I was not thinking properly due to serotonin toxicity).
As a nurse (although disabled), I believe it is my duty to warn our senior population and disabled individuals, so that they do not end up paying more out of pocket expenses that regular Medicare (Please note: I paid CIGNA $95.00 monthly + Medicare Part B premiums + co-payments; this equals-MORE than REGULAR MEDICARE).
11095 VIKING DR., SUITE 350, EDEN PRAIRIE, MINNESOTA -- I am dropping Cigna as soon as I can because its service has been appalling. I have been submitting claims since February 2010 and never once have I received the amount of reimbursement that I was promised (70% of Reasonable and Customary for an LCSW in 20912=105 out of 150); it was solely on the basis of that promise that I chose Cigna. I could not make up the nightmare this company has been. I have met every possible roadblock: one claim was denied based on my mistake of copying the diagnosis code incorrectly from my provider's itemized bill to my itemized bill—BOTH itemizations were included with the claim, however.
I have been repeatedly denied full reimbursement (70% of reasonable and customary for out of network) because initially my provider was in an affiliated network, without knowing that that was still active (or that that affiliation with Cigna even existed). He has since TWICE provided documentation that his association with that affiliated network was ended AS OF 1 March 2010, and still, as of this date, I am being told that Cigna has no record of this change having been made. I have had to call twice monthly and each time explain the entire situation because apparently no record is made of my calls.
I am convinced that Cigna is deliberately blocking my access to reimbursement, and thus to ongoing health care provision, in order to frustrate me out of pursuing my claim. I will not only not renew my policy with Cigna, but I will tell all my family and friends and everyone else I meet that Cigna is just a typical Insurance company whose SOLE concern is its own profit, and who is willing to sacrifice anyone's health and well-being to its bottom line. I will also continue advocating for socialized medicine and the abolition of all such companies as Cigna.
The only recourse the U.S. has to such abuses is to nationalize health care and place limits on the unprincipled actions of those who believe that capitalism is an ethical system entitling them to exploit and abuse those who have physical and mental illnesses.
I am a current recipient of disability benefits from Cigna. I received a call today from my representative at Cigna informing me of a policy change. I was supposedly to have received prior notification of said change -- but, of course, did not. My case is under review -- I had Cancer surgery 2 years ago and currently am being treated by a pain management specialist for chronic visceral abdominal pain syndrome. I also have systemic lupus erythematosus, and recurrent bladder cancer. I have one kidney and have had 5 other cancer-related surgeries (three abdominal, one testicular, and one for parathyroid cancer).
I am on so much pain medication that I can barely type this message and have severe short term memory loss. Yet I am under review again. Social Security still carries me a permanently disabled and I receive a 20% service connected disability payment for service in Vietnam. I am well educated and have worked in government scientific research since 1974. Again, Cigna gave no prior notice of a review nor was information regarding the nature of the policy change forwarded. I still don't know what exactly that change is - but I would guess they are divorcing themselves of Social Security determinations.
We have lost over half of our 401K and I cannot interest any reputable company in refinancing our VA loan -despite the low interest rates and the streamline procedure mandated by the VA. By the way my combined credit score is 787. Now I am to lose my only other source of income - due to a "policy change". I have had one physician refuse to treat me because according to him I am so ill that I belong in a tertiary (hospital) treatment setting. What are we to do? I just returned from a grocery store that cheated me out of $10.00 worth of their own coupons -- due to "system failure".
What recourse do we have - is America finished?? Beware -- those who served their country -- it will probably dance on your grave after starving you to death when you are physically unable to work -- by the way I was exposed to Agent Orange - and what has been done about that - a lot of verbiage and still no support for veterans who are now dying by the score due to cancer and other premature illnesses.
I have catastrophic tinnitus and have been unable to work for the past four years. I have diagnoses from my EMT, GP, neurologist, audiologist, acupuncturist and others. All are in agreement that I am not fit to work. Cigna has rejected my claim and then ultimately approved it after a nine month battle for my last two appeals.
Once an independent medical review team is called in, which takes 6 to 9 months, my case has been approved. Then Cigna in as little as three months can review the case and again decline coverage. Each time I spend thousands in legal bills to challenge the denial. Given the catastrophic nature of the condition and the exhaustive paperwork filed, Cigna ultimately has paid. Their behavior is driven by cost savings and excluding clients such as myself who are disabled. My only advice in dealing with CIGNA is hire yourself a lawyer immediately even before you filing your first claim. Expect that they search for anyway to keep from paying, including perhaps waiting for you to die. This company should be shut down. It's practices are egregious and injurious to those who have paid for disability and receive little but grief in return.
If you have any choice in your disability insurance company, do NOT choose Cigna. The mafia probably offers better coverage. My case has just been denied for the third time. If I could sue these b.....s into bankruptcy I would be happy to do so. They deserve no less.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (May 12, 2011) �" After three long weeks off from competition, the No-55 ranked ETSU men's tennis team returns to action on Friday morning for the opening round of the NCAA Tournament against No. 33 Notre Dame at the Stickney Tennis Center on the campus of Ohio State University. The match will take place at 10 a.m.
ETSU, who is making its fifth straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament, enters the match with a 17-6 overall record after taking home the Atlantic Sun Conference title a few weeks ago. The Bucs have had some recent success in NCAA Tournament competition after defeating No. 32-ranked Alabama just a year ago in the opening round. ETSU was defeated by host and eventual national runner-up Tennessee in the second round.
The Bucs are facing Notre Dame in the opening round for the second time in the last three years. Strangely enough, ETSU earned its first ever NCAA victory in 2008 after defeating the Fighting Irish in the Columbus, Ohio Regional.
Ohio State is serving as the host site and will play Ball State in the other first round match. The winners will then face each other the following day for the right to advance to the NCAA Championship round of 16. The winners of the two opening-round contests will meet at 1 p.m. Saturday for a chance to move on to the Round of 16 at the Taube Tennis Center in Stanford, Calif. The University of Stanford will serve as the event's hosts.
A link to live stats will be available at the Tournament Central Page on OhioStateBuckeyes.com. A look at the 64-team field, along with singles and doubles brackets of the 2011 NCAA Championships are available at www.NCAAsports.com.
Tickets for the first and second rounds in Columbus are $6 for adults and $4 for students. Children two and under are admitted free. The ticket booth will be located at the entrance gate at Stickney Tennis Center.
For the 12th consecutive year, the NCAA men's tennis championship features a field of 64 teams, consisting of 31 automatic-qualifying conference champions and 33 at-large selections. The first and second rounds will take place on May 13-15 at 16 campus sites. The winner of the second-round matches at each site will advance to Palo Alto, Calif., as Stanford University will play host to the final four rounds of the team tournament as well as the national championship draws for singles and doubles play from May 19-24.

Want to throw a killer outdoor party? We've got recipes to wow your guests, candles to set the atmosphere (and keep those pesky bugs away) and music to keep everyone entertained. What are you waiting for?
Set out sunscreen and insect repellant for guests to use as needed. They'll feel extra special when you offer Jurlique's Sun Lotion SPF 30, packed with botanicals and antioxidants (and on sale in July!). And leave out a stick of Badger's Anti-Bug Balm to ward off insects without the harsh chemicals.
Ideally you've planned ahead and planted some organic seeds from Seeds of Change (15% off in July, available in stores only). Start prepping for your meal by picking some fresh herbs and veggies from your new garden.
Save energy and string up a few of Allsop's Soji Pod Lanterns. These beautiful solar-powered nylon lanterns collect light all day and glow by night, creating a festive atmosphere without the hassle of electrical cords ($3 off in July, available in stores only).
Scatter Goodlight's Utility Candles around the yard and breathe easy-they're made from 100% palm wax with cotton wicks (buy one, get one free in July, available in stores only). For extra insect protection, add a few Bug Repelling Candles from Way Out Wax, filled with fragrant essential oils ($3 off in July, available in stores only).
Break the ice by setting out beverages and a few cheeses-just don't forget Chronicle Books' new Cheese Tasting Party Kit (available in stores only). Identify your selections with the included labels, explore suggested wine pairings and encourage guests to learn more about their favorite cheeses in the included book.
Get inspired by the fresh-and-easy recipes from Stonewall Kitchen Grilling, also from Chronicle Books (available in stores only). Try out Swordfish Tacos with Green Guacamole, then impress your dinner guests with a new take on dessert: Grilled Honey Peaches (click for recipes)!
Afterwards, sit back and relax to Herbie Hancock-and an all-star list of guest vocalists-on the brand new The Imagine Project. Or groove to the classic sounds of the Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street (both available in stores this month).

Cute but a little too small
My daughter needed a swim bag for daily use, we liked this one for the compartments and all the color choices. She already had a large bag for meets so we were looking for something smaller. This one is maybe a little too small. Enough room for one towel, sandals, goggles, but not for fins or any other equipment.

Small for what I need it for
Wearing this backpack is very comfortable. It is very small for what I need it for. When I swim, I use a large towel which fills up the whole bag. I also use it for the gym, but everything is very tight inside. It's okay for carrying a few items and a small towel. I still will keep it though.

Young swimmers bag
This is our third purchase of this bag. It is the perfect size for young swimmers who do not have a lot of equipment. Best for suits, goggles, towel, dry land clothes, water bottle and maybe paddles and pull buoy.

Great Backback for Little Ones
I initially bought this backpack for my 13 year old swimmer. I had no idea the bag was so small. It's ideal for someone between 2-5 years old. Or, for the mom of a swimmer who needs to have her own purse-size bag.

Handy Small Bag
Excellent product, very pleased with this purchase.

Just as good as the larger size
We own the larger version of this pro backpack. This should be called the "fits everything backpack".
Great little practice bag.
My kids use this as a practice bag. It has an inside pouch along the back wall that is perfect to keep shampoo and conditioner upright so it does not leak all over. The bag stays upright easily to keep the contents right side up. The straps along the outside are perfect to attach things they need readily available, like their gym membership card or a chapstick holster. It is the perfect size for one towel and the basic swim practice supplies. The arm straps are well placed to easily slip over both shoulders or to use as a handle for one-handed carrying. Each of my kids has their own color, and it makes getting out the door to practice much simpler.

Perfect Size
My son really wanted his own backpack since he just started swimming and this was the perfect size for him. It fits everything he needs, fins, googles, towel etc and it does not overwhelm him like other backpacks. Great purchase.
Perfect Size for a Younger Swimmer
We ordered this for our 8-yr old who wanted a swim bag just like older sibling :) Size is perfect for holding a towel and change of clothes.

Stockholm is a peaceful international city with an abundance of parks, palaces and other monuments, which make it a major tourist attraction.
Stockholm is situated on Sweden's southeast coast. The city is built partly on the mainland and partly on 14 islands. There are about a dozen other islands offshore, that are referred to as the Archipelago. Most tourists love the charming old town of Stockholm, Gamla Stan, on the small island of Ridderholmen. It is a jumble of narrow medieval streets, squares, mansions and palaces.
Gamla Stan offers an abundance of sights, for example the Royal Palace, the Cathedral, the Parliament Building or the Medieval Museum. Art lovers should certainly visit Vasa Museet, which is the most visited museum in Sweden, and Millesgarden, the famous sculpture garden of Carl Milles. Kungliga Slottet, the biggest palace still in use in the world, is another major attraction.

Freshmen lead the way as Buccaneers roll to 87-72 victory over Davidson
Saturday, February 15, 2003DAVIDSON, N.C. (Feb. 15, 2003) -- Just one game after shooting 54 percent from the field and 75 percent from three-point range, the Davidson men's basketball team struggled to find the bottom of the net, falling 87-72 to East Tennessee State at Belk Arena on Saturday evening. The Wildcats shot a season-low 33 percent from the field leading to its first home loss of the season. Davidson fell to 14-8 overall, 8-4 in the Southern Conference, while ETSU moved into a tie with the Wildcats for second place in the conference, improving to 14-9 overall, 8-4 in the SoCon. Three ETSU freshmen led the charge for the Bucs. Ben Rhoda (Dayton, Ohio) led the Bucs with a season-best 20 points, hitting 6-of-10 from the field. Also scoring a season-high was Brad Nuckles (Council, Va.) as he poured in 19 to go along with his team-high eight rebounds. Point guard Tim Smith (Newport News, Va.) also notched 19 points. Freshman Brendan Winters led the Wildcats in scoring for the second game in a row, dropping 19 points, thanks to 3-of-5 from beyond the arc. He also added seven boards in the effort. Senior Wayne Bernard and freshman Ian Johnson also netted double figures, scoring 13 and 12, respectively. The Wildcats struggled from the start, down 14-2 in the first five minutes of the game. Davidson crawled back to within three points on a Bernard three-pointer, the lone Wildcat three-pointer in the first half, at the 4:27 mark. Junior Terrell Ivory converted on a three-point play a minute later and the Buc advantage was only two. Davidson did not score for the remaining three minutes of the half. ETSU went on a 13-0 run to take a 41-26 lead into the locker room. Each team turned the ball over nine times in the first half, but the Bucs scored 14 points off Wildcat turnovers compared to only three by Davidson. The Wildcats kept the game interesting in the final half, slowly cutting into the ETSU lead. Senior Peter Anderer made his return after missing nine games due to a broken hand and nailed a three-pointer that cut the Buccaneer advantage to four points, 73-69, with just over four minutes remaining. Davidson did not connect again from the field and turned the ball over four times in the final two minutes of play as ETSU ended the Wildcats' 10-game home winning streak. Prior to this game, Davidson had shot below 45 percent in only two conference games. The Bucs, meanwhile, connected on 50.8 percent from the floor, the second time in the past four games a Wildcat opponent has hit at least 50 percent. It had been more than two years since an opponent had shot 50 percent or better before Wofford drilled 54 percent on Feb. 3. The Buccaneers will head to Greensboro to battle the Spartans on Monday, Feb. 17 at 7 p.m.

This pedal is a clone of one on my favorite effects pedals from the 80's... ProCo's RAT Distortion. It's a basic OpAmp distortion pedal using the classic LM308N IC chip that is a fairly simple build for those handy with a soldering gun, have a free weekend, and love rock-n-roll.
The layout we are using was designed by Francisco Pena who has done an excellent job with this and other pedal designs on Tonepad.com. (please refrain from editing the circuit board artwork unless you have permission from the author. (sorry Francisco!!))
The schematic and PCB are available in PDF form at TonePad.com following this link , which also has a great library of other effects pedal and guitar related projects to build from beginner to advanced. You will also need the PDF for Off-Board Wiring for wiring the input/output jacks and power for the pedal.
TonePad.com also carries ready-made Printed Circuit Boards to purchase if you don't have the time or effort to make your own. The PCBs on tonepad.com come with a screen printed component side, tinned solder pads and also a solder mask - all for a pretty decent price considering the cost of supplies you have to buy to make your own! I recommend going this direction if you want as close to error free build as possible.
You can buy the majority( if not all) of the parts from Small Bear Electronics which offers pretty reasonable prices and are supporters of TonePad and several other DIY music project sites. (Also recommended!)
I created the graphics in Adobe Illustrator and have made it available below to all that wish to use it. It is a PDF file saved out of Illustrator so it is easily edited with any vector graphic software that can open pdf's..... have fun with it and go wild.
(I'll post some sound clips and maybe some video soon to give you an idea what it can do.)
Now lets get ready to Rat-n-Roll.....
It`s very hard for me to find knowledgeable people in this particular topic, thank you for the pdf sharing, I like this post. and i recommand to do the DIY with this post's duide and in the meantime with another blog about distortion pedals, check here: Germanium Distortion Tone, it will help to understand this post.
Can I use this one instead? http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/STMicroelectronics/UA741CN/?qs=wnz1wyZ0ZnWrt9WAQ171Aw%3D%3D
How to connect stomp switch?
For thoses looking for a LM308. They`re super easy to find on ebay.
Check out these sellers:
How does the print shop handle your pcb layouts? Do you bring in a digital copy on a thumb drive , for example , or paper prints for them to copy from?
I tried to see if it works (i'm on battery) but all I hear is a continous buzz (like if i were touching the cable with my hand) that is reduced whenever i play a note (but the note itself is not heard): can it be all due to the fact i haven't put it in a metal case: i know that basically that stuff can work as an antenna, but if feel strange that i get so much noise)
Also the circuit only has one transistor in it, which is a 2N series. what would an AC128 sound like in there? or some other transistors, like a germ one?
smallest measurement to largest = Pico < Nano < Micro
Hope that helps....
i just finished my rat build, very cool instructions, thank you!
i have a question about the sound though: when you strum some powerchord palm muted, does it have "punch"? because my build sounds a bit weird i think... palm muted it doesnt' have that certain punch its a bit more noisy than i think it should be.
the other question is about the potis: when i set any one of the potis to zero (doesn't matter which) i hear nothing. is that normal or is it an error in my build?
Good luck.
I was just wondering how you tell which side of the jacks is which?
Secondly, AC voltage is noisy by nature. In order to clean up the noise of AC voltage, engineers design the circuit with filter capacitors and other goodies to clean out the AC ripple. Without these components, you will pick up the oscillations of the AC current and hear the feed back and hum.
Without a schematic of the circuit board it is hard to tell what you would need to do to clean up the hum....
When the switch is on, the first lead on the top row and the first lead on the second row are connected. So if you tested it with a multi-meter on continuity setting you would get a "beep", stating that current is able to flow from one lead to the other. So the 1st lead of the top row and the 1st lead of the middle row, as well as the 2nd lead of the top row and the 2nd lead of the middle row and same for the 3rd lead. BUT, when the switch is off, then the 1st lead of the middle row connects to the 1st lead of the third row, and the top row is disconnected. Confused yet?
So if your switch is rectangle than the rows should go the long way across.... but you can test with a multi-meter just in case.
anyway, if you mind, may i ask if how many watts you used on your resistors?
and how many volts for the capacitors.
The electrolytic capacitors need to be rated at least double the power supply voltage for safety. So for a 12 volt power supply you would use 24v caps or higher. You might get by with 12v caps but its always better to error on the side of caution.
Better safe that sorry.
Pretty much any decent sign shop has the correct equipment to do that. Try your local Fast Signs, Signs-in-a-day, or FedexOffice(one that has a sign shop in it).
You can also also use "waterslide decals".. they make both lazer & inkjet waterslide paper that you can print your own graphics on. It's the same kind of material that they use to put the word "Fender" on the headstock of a Stratocaster. Google it, its a pretty simple process and has great results.

En español | Is sex after 50 like an older man's hair — first it recedes, then it leaves? That may sound like a cruel joke, but regrettably there's some truth to it.
After 50, libido declines; older men suffer balky erections or erectile dysfunction (ED), and older women suffer vaginal dryness or atrophy. Even with lubricants and erection medication, these changes often make intercourse difficult or impossible. But if you let go of the idea that sex equals intercourse, older sex might just be the best of your life. Here's why:
Older lovers are more in sync
Young love is hot and exciting, but many young men are finished and falling asleep while their partners are still warming up.
In addition, young women tend to be less genitally focused than young men, and more interested in playful, mutual whole-body massage. These gender differences can cause conflict.
After 50, thankfully, men's and women's erotic sensibilities start to converge. Men need more time to become aroused; as erection and intercourse grow problematic, men warm up to the idea of whole-body sensuality. "Compared with young lovers," says developmental psychologist Richard Sprott, "older couples are more sexually similar. Couples who appreciate this can enjoy richer, more fulfilling sex at 65 than they had at 25 — even if the men can't manage intercourse."
Older men don't need to get it up to get it on
At every age, sexologists agree, satisfying lovemaking has less to do with rock-hard erections and frenzied intercourse than with kissing, cuddling and leisurely, playful touching all over — mutual whole-body massage that includes the genitals but doesn't fixate on them.
This message is often lost on testosterone-fueled younger men. They impulsively rush into intercourse, resulting in premature ejaculation (and frustrated women).
Older men, less driven by their hormones, can learn to embrace outercourse — mutual whole-body pleasuring with fingers, lips, tongues and sex toys. This alternative approach enables them to enjoy deeply satisfying lovemaking without intercourse, or even erections.
Older men don't need erections to have orgasms
This surprises many men, but it's true. In an erotic context with vigorous, extended stimulation, a man with a semi-firm or even flaccid penis can still enjoy a satisfying orgasm.
Save Money: Get AARP member discounts on travel, shopping and more
This is particularly welcome news to men who have undergone prostate-cancer surgery, which often severs the nerves responsible for erection, producing a form of ED that is unresponsive to erectile medications. Once these men adjust to their new situation, however, they often report orgasms as enjoyable as any they've experienced.
