Knoxville's National Cemetery, established during the Civil War and one of the oldest national cemeteries in America, is the final resting place of veterans from most of America's wars, and still sees a burial now and then. The contrast between these photographs, one taken around 1902, the other a few days ago, shows a century's accumulation of gravestones, but also, at the top, an odd incongruity. The original monument, paid for by thousands of Union veterans and their families and completed in 1901, featured a bronze eagle—anchored in the monument, perhaps unfortunately, by an iron rod. The monument survived intact for less than three years. During a summer storm on the early evening of August 22, 1904, a lightning bolt hit the monument, ripping it apart and sending chunks of marble into the neighborhood, damaging houses on Tyson Street. After the bizarre incident, Knoxville Republican congressman Henry Gibson secured federal funding to rebuild the monument, this time with an eight-foot marble statue of a Union soldier, less attractive to lightning. Completed in 1906, it has survived 105 summers.
The corner of Broadway and Fifth Avenue, once central to an affluent walking neighborhood of urban townhouses, was especially known for its accumulation of churches. Though several of these church structures saw more than one denomination, as churches grew, merged, and moved, the church in the foreground of this ca. 1905 photograph is best known as First Lutheran Church, originally a German-speaking church to serve Knoxville's substantial population of immigrants. Just beyond it is the old Broad Street Methodist Church, and the steeple in the distance may be that of Central Presbyterian. It's been speculated that this church's design may be a partial inspiration for a rather mysterious 1947 realist painting by Charles Griffin Farr, "Street in Knoxville," on long-term display at the Knoxville Museum of Art. Though the scene's now in the shadow of Interstate 40 and on the edge of the "mission district" of services to the homeless, the immediate area is still home to two historic churches, St. John's Lutheran and First Christian. Recently restored Minvilla Flats, built in 1913, is in the modern photo; the historic photograph predates it.
Charles C. Dodson was a jeweler who kept a downtown shop on Vine Street around 1900, within easy walking distance of his home at 404 Patton. Though never famous, he and his family enjoyed a middle-class Victorian lifestyle that was an exception in the Jim Crow South. During that era, white supremacists argued that blacks were incapable of maintaining homes of their own. This photo was one of several displayed in an exhibit at the Paris World's Fair of 1900, selected by W.E.B. Dubois to demonstrate black American families' pride in home ownership. The hilltop section of Patton Street, once a neighborhood of affluent blacks, was demolished half a century ago, during urban renewal. A little bit of Patton Street still exists just east of the Old City, but this site, a few blocks south of there, is now within the Townview Terrace development.
A century ago, Knoxville businessmen who aspired to be Gentlemen could join the Cumberland Club at Walnut and Clinch, a daily refuge from the noise and grit of industrial Knoxville. The public occasionally got a peek inside when the club hosted receptions and dances. The Cumberland Club closed around 1922, whereupon it was converted for doctor's offices. In the background is the bell tower of the old Second Presbyterian Church. Today, the site of the Cumberland Club and several neighboring buildings are covered by the Hilton parking garage.
The old Commerce Street Firehall, once the headquarters of the Knoxville Fire Department, stood just across State Street from the grandiose Palace Hotel, with its notable cupola, one of Knoxville's most luxurious hostelries of the 1890s. By the time this photo was taken, the Palace had been converted into a YMCA, a purpose it served until the present downtown Y was completed in 1929. Bereft of its turret and modernized beyond recognition, it served as an office building and a low-income apartment house before it was demolished after a fire in the early 1970s—not long before the Commerce Street Firehall was torn down to make way for the wide, sweeping boulevard known as Summit Hill Drive. Today, the same perspective shows mainly surface parking lots; in the foreground, occupying part of what used to be Commerce Street, is parking for Bacon & Co. A one-block scrap of once-teeming Commerce still exists between State and Central.
This colorful shot of Wall Avenue from near Gay Street in 1904 recently got national attention when it was highlighted on the popular Shorpy.com website, under the headline "True Grit." The scene includes at least 30 people, old and young, black and white, in a variety of fashions, going about a day's business. The large concrete building on the right would be best known as the St. James Hotel. The larger building on the left faces Market Square; it's still standing, for years the Square's only remaining vacant building. It's subject of a major renovation almost completed. All the buildings on the right side were torn down in the early 1970s for the TVA headquarters project.
Originally constructed as "the Knoxville Building," the city's official pavilion at Nashville's Centennial Exposition of 1897 was moved in pieces to Knoxville's Main Street in 1898. Rechristened the Woman's Building for the women's groups that sponsored it, the architectural artifact became a lively cultural venue, hosting art shows and scientific exhibits, lectures, and dances. Several women's clubs kept their headquarters in the building, which also housed music and art studios and a small business college. Every October for nine years, it was central to Knoxville's fall carnival. However, on Christmas Day, 1906, stray holiday fireworks started the blaze that destroyed the building. The site subsequently served as a skating rink, a streetcar barn, and a Trailways bus station. Today it's the southeastern part of the Baker Federal Courthouse, in an edifice originally built to house Whittle Communications.
This photo, taken from very near the same point as the Wall Avenue photo, shows the 400 block of Gay Street as it looked when reconstructed after the catastrophic 1897 fire. An icon on top of the taller building in the background is a stone phoenix, symbolizing the builder's resilience after the disaster, still the worst fire in Knoxville history. The building with the stone bird on top was known for a time as the Phoenix Building, but by the mid-20th century was better known simply as Fowler's Furniture. In the 1990s, developers set out to renovate the empty building for upscale condominiums, but in 1999, a fire on the top floor threatened to scuttle the project. After their well-publicized travails, they chose to market the building as the Phoenix Building. They found out only later, when looking into its potential for historic tax credits, that its original name had been the Phoenix.
Known for years as Girls High School, this palatial 1880s building had transformed into the bi-gender Knoxville High School before KHS's new building on Fifth was completed in 1910. Future MGM director Clarence Brown graduated from this school in 1905, and said he honored his memories of its interior in the set design for the 1935 movie, Ah, Wilderness! The big building served as a junior high for a period before it was torn down in the 1920s and replaced with the early modernist Daylight Building, recently rehabbed for shops and residences.

Artisan: Backstrap Weavers
Artisan Yolanda Calgua Morales
Yolanda lives in mountainous village near the town of Chichicastenango in the highlands of Guatemala. As a child she observed and helped with the backstrap weaving process and by the time she was a teenager she had learned the ancient craft under the tutelage of her mother. After finishing sixth grade, Yolanda chose the traditional life of a weaver and eventually married a farmer and had two children. The income that Yolanda has earned over the years as a weaver has helped her buy land and build three small adobe houses. Yolanda's design ability and expertise make her an artistically exceptional weaver who is a traditional "carrier" of the art and culture of backstrap weaving. With her special gift and years of experience, Yolanda is now known as one of the best weavers in her village.
Artisan Antonia Panjoj Guarcax
Antonia Panjoj Guarcax is an exceptional woman with an inspiring story. In response to a massacre in the early 1980's, Antonia founded a weaving group in her mountain village in the highlands of Western Guatemala. Antonia's exceptional leadership and values have supported the women in her group for over twenty years. Traditionally, weaving was a cultural activity for indigenous women who wove almost exclusively for their families. However, after many women lost their husbands, brothers, father and uncles in the massacre, selling their weavings became an economic strategy vital to their survival. Antonia works to help her group gain markets for their weavings, aiding in the economic vitality of her community.
One of Antonia's most successful initiatives resulted in the building of a community center for her weaving group. In collaboration with a fair trade organization, her group received and paid back a loan for communal land where members plant and harvest corn to sell when yearly supplies dwindle. These funds serve as capital for the group's projects. Later on, the weavers and their families provided labor to build the community center on this communal land.
Antonia's success as a leader and artisan has brought opportunity to her family as well. Antonia's son, Gilberto, is attending medical school at the San Carlos University in Guatemala City and her daughter, Yolanda, is learning leadership skills as an intern with a local organization where she helps facilitate adult education.

Blepharoplasty is a procedure to remove excess skin and fat tissue from the eye area.
Blepharoplasty can correct:
This procedure can also create upper eyelid folds.
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have blepharoplasty, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Your doctor will likely do the following:
Leading up to your procedure, your doctor may advise that you:
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure.
You will be given a local anesthetic to numb the area around your eyes. Sedatives will be given to help you relax. In some cases,
general anesthesia
will be used. In this case, you will be asleep.
Incisions will be made in your eyelids. In the upper eyelid, the incision is usually made in the crease. In the lower eyelid, the incision is usually made just below the lashes or on the inside of the eyelid. The excess fat will be removed. The excess skin and muscle will be trimmed. The incision will be closed with sutures.
60 minutes or more depending on the amount of skin and fat to be removed
Anesthesia will minimize pain during the procedure. You may feel some tightness and soreness after the procedure.
Ointment will be applied. A bandage may be placed over your eyes.
After about six months, your scars will likely fade to a nearly invisible white line. The results of a blepharoplasty are permanent. Extra surgery may be done as needed or desired. Sometimes, blepharoplasty is combined with another procedure called canthopexy. This is used to improve the shape and positioning of the lower eyelid. Blepharoplasty may also be done with ptosis repair. This is the repair of the upper eyelid muscle to correct drooping of the upper eyelid.
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Cue the comfort.
What is it with the Italians and their consistently comfortable helmets? We're not sure how or why, but they seem uncannily good at dialing in a comfortable fit on nearly anyone's head while still incorporating safety technology and style. Case in point: The Kask Vertigo Helmet.
Aesthetics are subjective, sure, but we like the Vertigo's bold graphics and angry-beetle profile. Cased beneath it all is an In-Mold EPS shock-absorbing foam shell that houses an internal frame that strengthens the helmet, so less material can be used to keep weight down. Kask's Up 'n' Down retention system uses non-slip gel grippers to keep things in place, and its self-adjusting lateral divider means you won't have to make adjustments to the straps underneath the ears.
The Vertigo's Eco-Leather straps may seem out of place on a helmet, but their smooth feel and antimicrobial properties will soon win your favor. Kask's 3D Dry Padding is thick, comfortable and highly breathable, so you rarely if ever feel sweat soaking through them. Reflective details increase the helmet's visibility if you get caught out after dark, and for the weight watchers, the Vertigo comes in at a low 270 grams, which is remarkable for all the comfort it offers.
The Kask Vertigo Helmet comes in a wide variety of colors and in size Medium or Large.

My Primary Road Cycling Helmet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have a quiver of helmets that I use for road riding - both triathlon training as well as competitions. If I am on my road bike, and not on my tri bike, then I am using my Kask Vertigo (mine flies the Italian colors). Overall, I really like the helmet. If you could try on road cycling helmets before purchasing, this is one you'd want to try on. Problem is, you don't find many Kask helmets in shops. You mostly find them online. So trying this one on really isn't an option.
Why do I raise the issue about trying on this helmet? You are going to see in many comments that most people focus on the retention system in the back of the helmet. This retention system is a set of sticky pads that sit on a skeletal framework that grip the back, lower portion of your skull. Once you have the pads properly positioned, you then twist the knob to cinch it down. If you've got a big noggin like me, getting the sticky pads over the back of your head can be difficult. If you wear a headband under your helmet, then you are going to have even more of an issue getting these pads in the right spot. But if you can get it on, I've found the fit to be terrific. Honestly, I love the helmet and it is terrificly ventilated for hot, summer riding.
Overall, I really liked the purchase.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I was super excited to get this helmet. I was long over due for a new helmet. I had been riding the Giro Air Attack and while it is a fantastic helmet and fits my head very well it is too hot to wear during a Phoenix summer. When I first put on the Krask I was amazed how well it fit and how easy it was to get snug on my head. I went out on my first ride thinking I am going to love this puppy!!! My bleeping glasses would not fit onto my ears. I wear prescription sports glasses and I could not get them all the way back on my ears so that they were snug against my head. The ear part of my glasses kept coming up against the retention system of the helmet. For the next several weeks I tried anything I could to get them to fit well. Can you imagine how annoying it is to be riding along and have to keep pushing your glasses back up against the bridge of your nose? I could not even do that. Finally, I just gave up and thought to myself, what a waste of a couple of hundred dollars and what a piece of crap helmet. How is possible that the designers of this helmet not realize this was a problem. I read a ton of reviews online and even seen you tube videos that discuss this issue of glasses fitting correctly. I am so disappointed. I have been riding since 1985 and this is the first helmet that I have not worn for at least a few years before getting a new one. This one did not even last two months on my head.

Great Helmet
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have had a few helmets dating back to my first Greg Lemond Giro Helmet when we first started riding with helmets. I have had a Rudy Project "Slinger" and most recently a Giro "Atmos." After I put the Vertigo on for the first time, I knew right away that is was a great helmet. I barely noticed that it was on my head when I was riding. The rear strap grips the lower part of your skull so it gives a snug fit more like a hat. As the sales guy mentioned as well from Competitive Cyclist, "when it gets to this level of helmet it is about style." This helmet also looks great on your "cabeza" as well, so you are styling on the road.

As Advertised
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I just purchased, received, and put this helmet to the test. I read the other reviews and was pleased to see that the fit was as described (runs a bit small). Also, my Oakley Path's fit perfectly with no issues both in use and placed on top of my helmet. I realize some other customers did not have the same luck for whatever reason. Not sure what the difference is but I have no complaints. As a matter of fact I have no issues at all with this helmet or the price. This is a product where you get what you pay for in my opinion. My last helmet was a Giro Aeon size M 55-59. No fit problems with that helmet either. This helmet is definitely more comfortable and seems to be built much better. I purchased a size L 59-62 per some of the reviews. That recommendation was right on point. CC processed and shipped the order in a timely manner. Very positive experience all around!!
I'll say it this simply....saved my life
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I was wearing a Vertigo when I went head first over bars from out of saddle sprint at 32mph last Saturday in Florida state road race championship.. Landed on my head. Helmet cracked in half. I suffered a compression vertebrae fracture but never lost consciousness. Truly believe the helmet saved me from concussion or much worse. Just ordered a new one and wouldn't wear anything else. Super comfortable and battle tested.
Can't say the same for my Dogma 65.1, which snapped into four pieces.

Thanks for sharing and glad you are not worse off.
Kask Vertigo - Nero Mat
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Looks amazing. Fits perfectly. A couple nice features like the up/down adjustment and reflective chin straps....
But I'm having the same issue with glasses (oakley radar lock) sliding in the vents...it just doesn't work. Also the stickers literally started peeling within minutes. They are some sort of foil that have sharp edges (might just be for the nero mat version) and snagged on the inside of the provided helmet bag. Then the next day just touching the helmet with gloves, they would catch on the edges of the stickers. Have repeatedly moved them back in place. It's only a matter of time (like 4 or 5 rides) before they fully peel off.
Overall I'd give a 3.5 if I could. Would be a 5 with vents that accommodated glasses, stickers or decals that didn't peel in minutes and ideally some sort of lazer like aero lid.
Best helmet ever
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This helmet is awesome, I agree with Shannon, it is the Cadillac of helmets. I put mine on and forget it is even there. I like the retention system, it works well and the gel grippers make it comfortable. My Oakley Radars work fine with this helmet, not sure what the other complaint is about. I usually put my glasses on before tightening up the helmet. While the price is a bit more than other top of the line helmets, it felt better on my head than a Giro Ionos and Specialized Prevail.
The Cadillac of Helmets
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have owned many brands of helmets in my cycling lifetime and the Kask Vertigo gets my vote for the most elegant design, comfort and fit. If this helmet were to cost $500 I would still feel the high price is justified. I wear a large in every brand of helmet and the large in the Kask Vertigo fits just like all my other helmets.
"If you have a $10 head, go ahead and wear a $10 helmet" I am not implying that this helmet is safer than others but my old motocross coach used to tell me that. I thought it was appropriate.

Kask Vertigo Helmet
Not necessarily for everyone
Why would a helmet manufacturer that throws a huge amount of weight behind the Sky Professional Cycling Team, not take into account that nearly all of their riders are also Oakley sponsored? What I mean, is that if you are a dedicated Oakley wearer on the bike, then you'll need to look elsewhere for a helmet. I really wanted to like it - I really did. It fits great, is pretty comfortable, and has a great retention system. Unfortunately, I have multiple pair of Oakley Radars and they do NOT fit under this helmet. I was forced to stretch the arms of my glasses to fit over the retention system in the back, and invariably, this caused extra pressure (and eventual pain). In addition, the vents of this helmet will not hold glasses (if you sometimes take them off while riding and need a place to stick them).
I know that my choice of cycling glasses shouldn't be a reason to abandon a helmet, but I'm far more invested in Oakley than I am Kask. Hopefully this will help others considering this helmet. Back to Giro for me...
My Oakley Radars and Split Jackets fit wonderfully with the Kask Vertigo AND I put my Oakleys on top of my helmet without them ever falling off. Weird way to review a helmet.
James V.
i just purchased the Kask Vertigo and use Oakleys. No problem with sunglass fit and when I need to take off the shades, I just place them upside down behind my head just below the helmet and above the retention system... stays put.

Kask Vertigo Review
I expected a lot from this helmet for this price and got it. Excellent Fit and very comfortable and light. It is also very quiet when compared to my Giro Ionos.

Vertigo by Kask
My review in Atlanta Examiner where RealCyclist.com cycling team appears as well:
Vertigo straps
Unique, minute details like the hypoallergenic gel pads on the retention system, to the white "eco-leather" (faux leather) chin straps, and reflective piping down the nylon thermo ear straps, all contribute to a an overall helmet package that is every bit as well thought-out and constructed, as it is totally PRO at every level.

St. Mary's and state investigators, acting on a tip last week that someone planned to use a pipe bomb to blow up a natural gas line, carried out a raid at a house, court papers state, before they charged a Park Hall woman with making a false report of the scheme.
Charlene Frances Woody, 53, was charged with two offenses of making a false statement to a law officer, and a single charge of making a false statement concerning the location and possible detonation of a destructive device. A conviction for the latter offense carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
Woody originally told authorities that she saw the foot-long metal pipe bomb in a man's possession at his residence, and after last Thursday's raid at his home found no evidence, she said a family member might have warned the man that police had been contacted, according to a charges application filed by St. Mary's sheriff's Cpl. Sarah Russell. The family member denied that Woody had said anything to her about the matter, court papers state, and that the man only contacted her after the raid, to accuse Woody of sending police to his home.
The Maryland state fire marshal's office took part in the investigation.

An ailing President George H.W. Bush, who has been in a Houston hospital since Nov. 23, got a call Friday that was "a real shot in the arm," his office said.
That was because The Oak Ridge Boys got together and serenaded their favorite fan over the phone.
Friends of the elder Bush and his whole family since the early 1980s, The Oaks have been closely following his health with updates from the president's staff. That was how they learned that Barbara Bush personally requested the call from the band.
William Lee Golden, who spoke with The Tennessean from the Music City Bowl where the band performed the Nation Anthem on Monday, said "When Barbara called us the other day, Jane Becker had been in touch with us — the president's assistant — when he was taken into intensive care after he had been in the hospital for so many days. [Becker] called us and asked for prayer for the president, so naturally we stopped what we were doing, [wife] Brenda and I, and we had a prayer.
"Then, I guess it was maybe the next day, we get a call from Barbara to see if The Oak Ridge Boys could get on the phone. They would like to arrange a phone in his room in intensive care. She thought it would make him feel better," Golden said.
"So, when Barbara calls or the president calls, you put down whatever it is you're doing. You step up for the call of duty. Anyhow, within 45 minutes we had rounded up. We had just got through with an extensive Christmas tour, so we were enjoying a few days at home. So it just happens that we were all still in town," he said.
"We asked what song he would like to hear and he said 'Elvira,' so we blasted some 'oom pop a mau maus' in the direction of Houston, Texas," recalled band member Joe Bonsall. "We then sang some 'Amazing Grace' for him, after which Barbara Bush came on the phone and thanked us. We all smiled and went back home. We had just sung a few songs for our president. We have been doing so since 1982. Get well soon, sir. We love you. America loves you. The world loves you!"
Bush's health has improved — perhaps that phone call really did help — allowing him to be moved the next day from the intensive care unit. At 88 years old, he is the oldest living American president.

This means that instead of writing different documents for online information and another for a printed manual, you need write only one document. And when the work is revised, you need revise only that one document. The Texinfo system is well-integrated with GNU Emacs.

The Democratic Practice program seeks to strengthen the vitality of democracy in the United States and in global governance. The program's core ideas—that for democracy to flourish and deliver on its promises its citizens must be engaged, empowered, and assertive, and institutions of governance must be inclusive, transparent, accountable, and responsive—provide a frame for the Fund's Democratic Practice work in the United States and in global governance.
The Fund's Peacebuilding program aims to advance just and durable peace by supporting innovative and collaborative approaches and policies for conflict prevention, management, and transformation and strengthening constituencies and political will for conflict transformation and durable peace.
The Sustainable Development program advances global stewardship that is ecologically based, economically sound, socially just, culturally appropriate, and consistent with intergenerational equity. Human activity is causing global warming, rapid loss of biodiversity, and accelerating degradation of Earth's life support systems. With the recognition that the impact of unchecked climate change threatens all other conservation efforts, the program focuses its grantmaking on advancing solutions to climate change.
New York City has the potential to be a model 21st century sustainable urban community that nourishes neighborhoods and civic life, supports individual achievement and artistic expression, generates widely shared prosperity, and preserves and enhances its built and natural environments.
Southern China's rapid development has been accompanied by profound challenges including environmental degradation and growing disparities between rich and poor, urban and rural which, if not addressed, threaten the sustainability of development in the region, the country, and the world. The Chinese government and people have been responding vigorously to these complex challenges. The RBF's grantmaking seeks to assist these efforts.
The countries of the Western Balkans are working to realize their European integration aspirations, as accession brings with it the promise of stability and rule of law—necessary prerequisites for long-term peace, prosperity, and democracy. The Fund's work in the Balkans, and especially in Serbia, Montenegro, and Kosovo, gives special attention to democratic practice and sustainable development requirements.

Much as we enjoy wearing our summer skirts and showing off our pedis, we're ready for fall for two great reasons: 1) Uh, heat wave? Yeah, we've had enough of those crazy hot temps and 2) great fall lipsticks.
The fall 2012 runway shows brought us two very contrasting colors—ones from the likes of Christian Siriano, whose dark, vampy shades made us want to get all Addams Family and/or have some Cure throwback moments. On the flip side, goth lips' polar opposite also rocked the runways with very Pollyanna-esque bright oranges (not coral, not burnt orange, but ORANGE, as in Tang).
We've found 11 amazing lipsticks for fall that let you get as vampy or vivacious as you want (and of course, some in between for those prone to unexpected mood swings.)

Detecting Counterfeit Currency
A handful of years ago, it was much harder to detect whether currency was real or counterfeit and nearly every place of business would either hold the bill up to a light and check if it was real, or mark it with a pen. Those days are over, as we now live in the technological age and do not have to rely on tactics like we did before. Not only has currency become much harder to counterfeit, we now have machines called counterfeit detectors that allow us to detect whether a bill is fake or real. The benefits of these types of machines are incredibly vast, as it makes it much easier and faster to check to see if a bill is legit or not and with much higher accuracy.
The majority of the counterfeit detector machine that are on the market today are highly accurate and allow the individual to select various methods of checking the validity of bills. You can typically check with at least three methods, which include checking the UV, the watermark, and the magnetic ink. Although modern day currency has become much harder to counterfeit, thieves and con artists have gotten wiser when it comes to manufacturing fake bills and using a counterfeit detector machine is the best way to make sure that you and your business is protected.
There are various types and sizes of machines that are available for purchase, which cater to the different needs of different business and individual purposes. Small businesses will greatly benefit from the type of currency detector that allows you to place a bill under a light or scan the bill through a machine that comes out on the other side. By using a machine like this you can check whether the bill is real or not and have the bill returned to your hand.
Another situation larger businesses of all kinds find themselves in is having to process hundreds or thousands of different bills. These types of businesses or companies take in large amounts of revenue throughout the day and need to scan large amounts of bills after closing. The best option for a company like this would be to pick a machine that separates the real bills from the fake bills. When a bill is real and collected by the machine, it is put into a compartment and counted and the fake bills are sent to another compartment. This makes it way easier to sift through large quantities of bills without having to check each individual bill and it has made businesses across the world much more efficient when it comes to accounting.

Collagen injection is a procedure used to fill wrinkles, plump lips, and improve skin appearance. Collagen is injected under the skin with a fine needle.
Collagen is a natural protein that supports the skin and other areas of the body. It may be taken from an animal like a cow or pig or from the patient's own tissue. Collagen is one of several filler options available.
Collagen injection is an elective, cosmetic procedure. This means that the patient requests to have a procedure which is not medically necessary. It is done to:
You will need a trained specialist such as a dermatologist or a facial or general plastic surgeon. Treatments are often successful and results are seen right away. Results are temporary, lasting six months or more.

Dick Pinney's Guidelines: A couple of cures for cabin fever
A lot of us outdoors people get cabin fever with the occasional nice day that comes in this otherwise despicable (got that word from Bugs Bunny) month. It's too cold for open water fishing on most days. The ice is starting to get pretty scary. There's no real hunting season open. The party boats haven't started their seasons yet and if they had the fishing would be far from fast because of cold ocean water temperatures. Also the species probably caught would be mostly redfish with an occasional cusk or a (too)-rare codfish.
If you can stand a bit of cool weather outdoors experience a try at either clam digging or oyster picking could be a great way to kick the cabin fever and do it in a productive way. This isn't like the old days when you could clam dig seven days a week. Or pick up a bushel of Great Bay Oysters in an hour during all the months except those that don't have an "r" in them. Now, the first thing you have to do for clams is to call the clam telephone hotline at 1-800-432-5267 (1-800-43CLAMS). If conditions are good as far as pollution is concerned they clam digging in certain places in the Hampton and Seabrook Harbors and Great Bay is permitted. This activity is only permitted on Saturdays.
The easiest way to get into the clam grounds in the Hampton/Seabrook Harbor is by boat. Because of the poor condition of the boat dock in Hampton, the use of this until it's repaired isn't the best idea. But there's usually a shuttle service-boat that for a small price will ferry you to and from the digging areas. If you don't mind a pretty long walk and a bit of exploration there are quite a few places that you can walk to for your clams in this area but lugging a peck of clams a mile over broken ground isn't for everyone.
There are places in Great Bay and some of the tributaries that have pretty good clam digging but in most of the areas, instead of digging in sand, like you do in Hampton/Seabrook, you'll dig in rocky gravel or mucky stuff. And the clams are not the pretty white ones but are apt to be quite dark. But delicious. Again, all of the Great Bay system is not open to shellfish harvesting so calling the clam hotline will give you that information on closures.
Great Bay oysters, once so prevalent and so easy to pick a bushel of them have suffered to the point of almost extinction because of a disease that caused their shells to soften. They are making a comeback but are small compared to those of yesteryears but are getting to the point where it's not a bad idea to pick up enough for a meal or an oyster stew. All you need to do this is have a strong back for bending, a pair of heavy rubber gloves and a bucket to put them in.
Before you do any shellfish harvesting it's best to pick up Fish and Game's Saltwater rule book at a license agency and while there you'll need to purchase a license for clams, oysters or both. Four license agencies come to mind that specialize in the support of saltwater activities: Taylor's Trading Post in Madbury, Dover Marine Sports in Dover, Suds-n-Soda Sports in Greenland and Defiant Lobster (they are a little out of the way at Landing Road in Hampton) but close to the clam grounds.
If you have a back that doesn't like to bend, a pair of chest waders or hip boots will allow you to dig while on your knees or pick up oysters a couple of feet under water. That's how this old fool always did it.
One other suggestion: If you do gather some oysters and don't know how to shuck them, wash and scrub with freshwater but don't soak them in it. Put some foil on a cookie sheet and set them in an oven set at around 300 degrees. Keep a close eye on them so that you don't cook them (unless that's your goat) and you'll find that the shells will just pop open to allow you to remove the meat. We do not endorse eating raw shellfish taken out of our coastal waters unless they have gone through a purification plant.

Ephesians 4:7-16: Moving the Science/Faith Discussion Forward
In this essay, Hastings looks at "front edge" areas for promoting healthy dialogue in the field of science and Christian theology, areas which are specifically theological in nature.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
In this essay, Hastings looks at "front edge" areas for promoting healthy dialogue in the field of science and Christian theology, areas which are specifically theological in nature.
Philosopher Robert Bishop explores the Biblical doctrine of creation, which he describes as "perhaps one of the most helpful pieces of theology for thinking about science", and describes why the doctrine needs to be recovered from narrower, contemporary interpretations of creation.
Hastings provides a biblical and theological basis for healthy and fruitful dialogue on the theology and science of origins.
Biologist and BioLogos Senior Fellow Denis Venema examines the interaction between RTB literature and several lines of genetics-based evidence for common ancestry. In so doing, he also addresses the scientific robustness and reliability of the RTB model.
Can science provide substantive insight into the question of God's existence? Isaac's paper examines three schools of thought regarding the possibility of detecting God's existence through science: Evolutionism, Creationism, and Intelligent Design.
Falk's paper asks evangelical Christians to explore whether they are propping up a bubble that they, not God, have created, thereby isolating themselves from the world of academics. The essay describes five layers that may play a role in unnecessarily blocking entry, or reentry, of agnostic scientists into the realm of evangelicalism.
Mark Noll, historian and author of The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, enumerates 15 attitudes, assumptions, and convictions he considers to be most influential in inciting anti-intellectual sentiment among evangelical Christians.

Allen County – Shortly after midnight today a routine traffic stop by state police quickly turned into a vehicle pursuit. Indiana State Troopers attempted to stop a woman for a traffic infraction in the area of Mayhew Road and Old Leo Road in Allen County when she immediately fled in her truck.
The driver of the truck, Heather M. Jones, 26, of Albion, led police on a chase that lasted six minutes and covered approximately five miles. Jones ran several stop signs and traffic signals before she crashed her 2012 Dodge truck into a concrete median barrier near the intersection of Dupont Road and Coldwater Road. The impact flattened the rear tire on her truck and she rolled to a stop about one mile later in the front yard of 1230 Windsor Woods Boulevard.
Jones exited the vehicle and began to walk away before she was apprehended by police. Jones faces several criminal and traffic charges. The most serious charges include felony resisting in a vehicle and receiving stolen auto parts. A check of the vehicle registration alerted police that the vehicle had been reported stolen from Kosciusko County.
Jones was taken to the Allen County Jail where she is currently being held on numerous charges.
All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Briefly after I wrote my last entry, Genius28 came over to the Lodge and we played a 5 handed home game with Jeff, Genius28, me, Pegleg and Aaron. Once again, it was dealer's choice, but we made it a 1/2 no max game. Jeff and Genius bought in for 1K, I bought in for 200 (plus another 100 after I got quartered by Jeff), Aaron bought in for 100 and Pegleg bought in for 100.
Usually, I would choose some version of NL 8-card omaha (hi/lo no qualifier or hi only). Genius, Jeff and Pegleg started off choosing NLHE, but I eventually converted them all to the 8-card game. Even Aaron started playing a 4-card omaha game. The game was full of straddles and re-straddles (by Genius, Jeff and myself, not so much by Aaron and Pegleg), so we often had four blinds in a 5-handed game.
Early on, Jeff quartered me when we got all in pre, although I don't remember the hand. I definitely had an edge preflop, but I really couldn't tell you what the edge was. So I was down 100 early and I rebought to bring me back up to 200.
I'll write about a few of the interesting hands, with the game type at the beginning. Also, the table, clockwise from me, was Genius, Jeff, Aaron, Pegleg. That might help you picture some of the hands in your head.
NLO h/l 8-card: I forget the preflop action, but Genius, Jeff and I get it all in pre. I made the nut club flush, but I had A245 for my low cards and I was counterfeited by a 2 on the flop, so Jeff and Genius got a quarter of the pot each with their A3s (that's not saying suited, it's saying there were two A3 hands). Essentially, they each gave me $50 after the hand was over, since the pot was $600 total (I was entitled to half of the pot, meaning I needed to end up with $300 somehow and since I had $200 pre, that means I needed to get $50 from each).
NLHE: UTG, Genius makes it 15, Jeff calls, Aaron pushes in on the button for about 95, blinds fold, Genius insta-calls, Jeff folds. AA for Aaron, JJ for Genius. Jeff folded Qd3d. A diamond draw flops (to Jeff's dismay), but his folded draw missed and the AA held, so Aaron doubled through early on.
NLO h/l 8-card: Incredibly, Jeff and Genius get all-in pre with 1K each in a 1/2 game. Genius had him crushed with A2345xxx (lock up at least half of the low, and I think he had a few suits and higher connectors) whereas Jeff had AAA2333x (a pretty mediocre hand I think, even though two aces were suited). Either way, Genius quartered Jeff to win about $450 (Genius took a hit against Aaron, so he wasn't full stacked at 1K anymore).
NLO h/l 8-card: Aaron folds UTG, Pegleg makes it 10 with 73 more behind, Genius, Jeff and I agree to put in the 83 more just to try to bust Pegleg since he was on the short-stack. He agrees to go all-in too, and I end up getting a quarter of the pot with my A3 against Pegleg's A3 while Pegleg scoops the hi with the nut flush.
Aaron busts around this point to Jeff, but I don't remember the hand.
NLO hi 8-card: I raise to 10 UTG with 5d6d7c7sKxKxQx9x with both kings suited. Genius and Jeff call, Pegleg folds. Flop is gin: 3d4h7d. I flopped the nut straight, a straight flush draw and top set. I bet 100 (heh, we were gambling), Genius insta-pushes, Jeff folds and I insta-call. He shows Ad2d5h6s8x and three more cards that didn't really play. So he flopped the nut straight, the nut flush draw and he had a redraw to a higher straight. I turn the 4d, so I hit my straight flush and the suspense ended quickly. I take down the almost $600 pot. I took a pic of the board:
I'm getting kinda tired now, but the only relevant hands after this was one where Jeff quartered Pegleg in a $300+ pot, then Jeff finally busted Pegleg in a $200 pot. Pegleg had gotten up as high as $250 from his $100 buyin.
Here are some more random pics from the home game:
In the end, I won about $250, Jeff lost about $200, Aaron lost $100, Pegleg lost $100 and Genius won about $150.
Also, the poker room here is absolutely packed. All the games have huge waiting lists and it's basically impossible to get a seat. I took a few pictures, although they don't do the crowd justice (you aren't allowed to take pictures on the gaming floor, so I did it ninja-style).

As 2013 comes to a close, the ASPCA is celebrating meaningful changes in state animal welfare laws that will improve the lives of thousands of animals across the country. This year, the ASPCA worked with state legislators and other humane advocacy groups to score 87 victories for animals by enacting new laws or defeating hostile legislation, making 2013 one of the most successful years for our animal welfare policy work.
Here is a small sampling of new laws that the ASPCA and our Advocacy Brigade helped secure—as well as misguided bills we helped defeat—in 2013:
(1) Maryland passed a law to establish one of the strongest, most robustly-funded statewide spay/neuter programs in the country, and West Virginia enacted a comprehensive spay/neuter program as well. These new laws will help reduce pet homelessness and euthanasia of healthy animals.
(2) In Texas, cruel and unnecessary gas chambers can no longer be used to euthanize animals in shelters.
(3) Working with a coalition of animal welfare, environmental, and human rights organizations, the ASPCA helped ensure that none of the 11 ag-gag bills introduced in 2013 (in Arkansas, California, Indiana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Vermont and Wyoming) were passed into law. Pushed by industrial agribusiness, these bills were blatant attempts to cover up illegal and unethical activities on factory farms. Defeating them was critical not only for the protection of animals and the whistleblowers exposing their mistreatment, but also for the safety of the public.
(4) Thanks to groundbreaking legislation passed in Colorado, law enforcement officers will receive training on canine behavior and alternative methods to the use of lethal force in order to reduce accidental dog shootings. A new law in New York State will increase criminal penalties for the intentional killing of police dogs and horses
(5) In California, legislation passed that will phase out lead ammunition for hunting throughout the state to protect wildlife, who are at risk of ingesting contaminated remains, as well as California's diverse ecosystem.
(6) This was a phenomenal year for animals in Nevada, where seven animal protection bills passed, including legislation to ban horse tripping, enhance penalties for animal fighting and protect wild horses.
(7) In New Jersey, penalties for neglect have been strengthened with the passage of "Patrick's Law," named after a dog who was starved nearly to death and thrown down a garbage chute.
(8) Illinois enacted new laws protecting chained dogs, stray farm animals, puppy mill puppies and animals who fall victim to animal fighting.
(9) Animals in Alabama and Ohio are safer from abuse thanks to new laws that strengthen cruelty penalties.
(10) ASPCA-backed legislation passed in Connecticut established a task force to study the origin of dogs and cats in pet shops that will, ideally, pave the way for groundbreaking legislation in 2014 to prevent pet stores from selling puppy mill puppies.
Many state legislatures will reconvene in January, and the ASPCA looks forward to expanding protections for even more for animals in all 50 states.

Nashua 357 Premium Grade Duct Tape is the duct tape professional contractors choose when they require a consistent, trouble-free product. It has a high tensile strength and is very durable. Its clean release resists delamination and it conforms to a wide variety of surfaces. It also tears straight, resists curling, and has outstanding performance over a wide temperature range. Low VOC Content and can contribute toward satisfying EQ Credit 4.1 (Low Emitting Materials) under LEED®.
Nashua 357 uses include HVAC (heating, ventilating, air conditioning) and refrigeration applications. Also asbestos removal applications, sealing of seams and joints in metal air handling systems, sand and media blasting applications, and the manufacture of flexible duct equipped with metal collars. It is a great tape for bonding, protecting, holding, repairing, patching, packaging, bundling and motor sports. Also please note that Nashua 357 comes to our converter in log roll format (that is why the tape can be offered in non-standard widths) and because of that rolls will more often than not ship on plain white cores.
This tape was featured in the MythBusters' "Duct Tape Hour" episode.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
