A fundraiser is being planned for a local paramedic who is facing cancer
for the second time. Twenty-one-year-old LeFlore County Emergency Medical Service paramedic Anthony Stankewitz is, unfortunately, no stranger to cancer. According to EMS Director David Grovdahl, it was little more than a year ago when Stankewitz became light headed while responding to an emergency. Doctors found that Stankewitz had a large mass in his chest cavity. The mass was so big that it was
putting pressure on Stankewitz's heart. Stankewitz was eventually diagnosed with a type of lymphoma. Due to the size of the tumor, doctors were unable to treat it with surgery and elected instead to treat
Stankewitz with radiation and chemo-therapy. Fortunately, the treatments
took effect and soon the tumor was undetectable. However, earlier this
year, doctors found that Stankewitz's cancer had
returned, as big as it had
ever been. Stankewitz is now undergoing treatment that consists
of an even more powerful and more expensive
round of chemo-therapy. The treatment is taking its toll on both the cancer and Stankewitz who has been unable to work since May and will likely not be able to return to work until July. Grovdahl says that
Stankewitz is doing OK and stays active when he can, even coming to work
when able. To assist Stankewitz, a charity poker game is being
held to benefit the young paramedic. The game starts at 6 p.m. on June 8 at the Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie in Spiro, located at 19349 Eagle Lane. Buy in is $40, with unlimited buy ins during the first hour. After the first hour, there is an $10 tack-on to buy back in. The prize for first place at the poker game will be a gun and second place will be a $100 gift card. Stankewitz is a graduate of Spiro High School and
Kiamichi Technology Center.

Subject: Fwd: (Forward to others) WebEx meeting invitation: MMS Online Data Analysis
Hi All,
This is a reminder of our data analysis telecon at 10 AM CDT tomorrow.
Attached is the crib_master_v3.pro, which we will use to discuss the events on Aug. 15 and Aug. 28. Summary plots for the SITL option for these dates are also attached.
To use the procedure, first download the latest bleeding edge:
Select the top zip file. Install this in your SPEDAS directory.
The crib_master_v3.pro is not in bleeding edge yet. Save it from this email into /spedas/projects/mms/
Please run this for the two events to make sure it works. If not, restart IDL. This way you will have the data on your local system. That will speed things up.
If you want to show burst data or any analysis, please have that ready for the bouncing ball.
The plan will be to discuss these events first and then possibly look at the data that comes in today if there are any magnetopause crossings.
Please pass this on to others in your team.

If I play the card "Bridge" twice, which says to reduce the cost of items by 1 (minimum of 0), does this reduce the cost of all items by 2?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Board & Card Games Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people who like playing board games, designing board games or modifying the rules of existing board games. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Indeed it does. From the rulebook:
The effect is cumulative; if you Throne Room a Bridge, all cards will cost 2 coins less this turn.
Obviously the effect will still be cumulative if you just play two Bridges in one turn!

When terrorists 'killed' in drone strikes aren't really dead
PARIS — Is "killed by a drone strike" the new "alive and well"? If you pay close enough attention, it makes you wonder what's really going on.
Here's how this charade usually goes: One or more major news organizations runs a story about some Middle Eastern terrorist being killed in a drone strike, usually in Pakistan. The reports, typically generated by some murky Pakistani intelligence source — are neither confirmed nor denied by U.S. intelligence. The boilerplate response is instead something like, "We can only confirm they were in the area." It's kind of like asking, "Did you sleep with my wife?" and getting back, "I cannot confirm or deny except to say that we were in the same bed."
This week, senior al-Qaeda leader Abu Zaid al-Kuwaiti was reported to have been killed by a drone in northern Pakistan. American intelligence officials have yet to confirm or deny, but that hasn't stopped this from becoming worldwide news and accepted as fact. After all, in the event that the story isn't actually true, will anyone remember the retraction — or even demand one? Al-Kuwaiti sure won't. He'll probably be grateful to finally get some peace and quiet.
Throughout history, people have paid big bucks for the privilege of dropping off the face of the earth, often unsuccessfully. Little did they know that all they had to do was turn to terrorism and end up on America's radar as a major target.
There is no question that these stories are becoming part of an interesting, if not suspicious, pattern.
In September 2010, U.S.S. Cole bombing suspect Fahd Mohammed Ahmed al-Quso was reported to have been killed by a drone. U.S. intelligence wouldn't confirm or deny the report of his death beyond saying that he was in the drone-flooded area of Northern Pakistan. You'd think it would be their job to find these things out. He met his second "death" by drone on May 6, 2012. Any chances of a third? Is this man a cat?
In October 2010, an Osama bin Laden "ambassador," Atiyah Abd al-Rahman, was reported to have "killed" by a drone. But again, U.S. intelligence wouldn't confirm or deny anything beyond saying that he was hanging out in northern Pakistan. It was later reported that he was killed yet again by a drone on August 22, 2011.
There must be a stellar vacation-package deal for members of Middle Eastern terrorist groups to vacation in northern Pakistan if they're willing to risk all the drones and repeated deaths.
High-ranking al-Qaeda member Saeed al-Shehri is yet another terrorist who has been "killed" at least twice to date in separate air raids: once as reported by ABC News in December 2009, and yet again this past September, as reported by the Associated Press.
So do these guys really end up dead at some point? Or does the mere announcement of their questionable deaths serve to conveniently remove them from the radar? In at least one other case, it turns out that a supposedly "dead" terrorist is still at large enough to still be included on the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists list.
Mohammed Ali Hamadi is the Hezbollah terrorist responsible for the 1985 hijacking of TWA Flight 847 during which Navy diver Robert Stethem was tortured, killed and tossed out onto the tarmac. Hamadi still remains on the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists list despite having been reported killed by a drone in northern Pakistan in 2010.
Does the FBI really care to apprehend this fugitive? Because there have been sightings of him recently reported here in the North of France. And why isn't the agency's sophisticated high-tech composite photograph included on the FBI website? Or better yet, his latest-available photo from 2008, which is markedly different from those the FBI has posted?
A private investigation suggests that Hamadi was operating a vehicle import/export business between Belgium and Lebanon until his "death." His cell phone number from that period is available, should the FBI wish to actually investigate.
What's preventing the FBI from doing its job? Certainly not the extradition treaty between the U.S. and France, which allows for extradition upon executive approval. And apparently, being an FBI Most Wanted fugitive doesn't mean inclusion in the Interpol database. How about fixing that?
And if the FBI no longer cares that Hamadi remains at large, then why keep him on the Most Wanted list? Pick a lane.
When U.S. intelligence isn't busy fake-killing terrorists, it may want to try apprehending them and bringing them to justice. Just a thought.

Smaller vehicles that offer ever-better fuel economy, pleasing practicality and even a little fun is a major theme for 2012 models. These new models ought to make people feel a little better after a year that included a huge earthquake in Japan, a struggling U.S. economy, raging budget battles in Congress and gas prices that temporarily got way too close to $4 a gallon. Here's 10 highlights of the newest offerings from automakers this season.
1) Buick Verano: Buick is hyping this compact luxury sedan as having the key features and characteristics of its LaCrosse, while being shorter, narrower and lighter than its midsize Regal. Prices will range from $22,585 to $25,965 when it shows up in dealerships before Christmas. It shares a platform with the Chevrolet Cruze, but not powertrains. A standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and six-speed automatic transmission deliver 180 horsepower and 31 mpg on the highway.
2) Chevrolet Sonic: The Sonic replaces the Aveo and is the only subcompact car being built in the U.S. It comes as a five-door hatchback ($14,635) and four-door sedan ($13,735) with two engine choices. Both the standard 1.8-liter, four-cylinder and optional 1.4-liter turbocharged version are rated at 138 horsepower. The 1.4-liter with the manual is expected to get 40 mpg highway.
3) Ford Focus Electric: Ford's first electric car is set to go on sale by the end of the year in California and New York. The five-door hatchback, built in Wayne, Mich., has a 123-horsepower engine and lithium ion battery pack. A full recharge is expected to take three to four hours with a 240-volt power supply. All Ford is saying about range is that it will be competitive with other all-electrics and enough to meet the daily driving needs of the majority of Americans.
4) Honda CR-V: The fourth-generation CR-V arrives by year's end with edgier styling, including a bolder front end. Honda isn't saying much about the all-new model other than it will have a new interior with a more spacious design, lower cargo floor, and more fuel-efficient engine. Given Honda's past history, it is likely the company will stick with a four-cylinder engine and two rows to carry five passengers.
5) Hyundai Veloster: Hyundai is promising a fun-to-drive, sporty compact coupe to compete with the Mini Cooper and Volkswagen Beetle. On sale this month (Sept. 13), prices start at $16,540 for the six-speed manual and $17,790 for the six-speed dual clutch automatic. Estimates are 40 mpg highway with the manual and 38 mpg with the automatic. A third door on the passenger side in the rear, which is forward-hinged and shorter than the others, will make this coupe with a glass hatchback look even quirkier.
6) Range Rover Evoque: This new "baby" Range Rover will come in three- and five-door models. It has a European-built 2-liter direct-injected, turbocharged engine from Ford with 240 horsepower, and a six-speed automatic. It has car-like unibody construction instead of body-on-frame design. Opportunities to personalize include a choice of three contrasting roof colors. The five-door starts at $43,145, the coupe at $44,145. Both get 28 mpg highway and 19 city.
7) Scion iQ: Toyota rolls out its "premium micro-subcompact" starting on the West Coast in October and ending in the Midwest in March. Only 10 feet in length, it has a "3+1" seating arrangement. Offset front seats with slim backs allow an adult to sit behind the front passenger and a child behind the driver. The 93 horsepower, 1.3-liter, four-cylinder engine comes with a continuously variable transmission and fuel economy estimate of 37 mpg highway. Its 11 airbags include a first: A curtain airbag for the rear window. Pricing starts at $15,265.
8) Toyota Camry and Camry hybrid: The new, seventh generation Camry goes on sale in October. This redo focused on providing a new exterior design, slightly more spacious and refined interior, improved driving dynamics and quieter ride. Both the four-cylinder and V-6 engines carry over but with fuel economy improvements. The hybrid gets a new 2.5-liter, four-cylinder with combined 200 horsepower (up from 187) and 43 mpg city and 39 mpg highway. Hybrids go on sale in November. Prices on most new models remain the same or have dropped. Toyota is dropping the base price of its core LE Camry model by $200, to $22,500. The more luxurious XLE model will fall by $2,000, to $24,725.
9) Toyota Prius V: Designed for growing families, the Prius V ("V" for versatility) comes in the form of a small, European-style minivan (think Mazda 5). It is longer, wider and more spacious than the Prius. But it keeps the same silhouette, hybrid system and 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. It goes on sale late October or early November. The base MSRP is $26,400 for the Prius V Two model, $27,165 for the Prius V Three, and $29,990 for the Prius V Five. Fuel economy estimates for the five-seater is 44 mpg city and 40 mpg highway, less than the regular Prius.
10) Volkswagen Beetle: The third-generation Beetle went on sale this month. While it keeps the famous silhouette, it is longer, lower and wider. The least expensive is the Beetle 2.5 with the 170 horsepower, 2.5-liter, five-cylinder and six-speed automatic at $18,995. The Beetle Turbo with a 200 horsepower 2-liter turbocharged, four-cylinder with six-speed dual-clutch automatic is $23,395.Copyright © 2015, The Morning Call

Great shoes, the speed lace system is impossible to find in ANY stores if you have to replace it. You have to contact the company that makes the shoes for Adidas. This company is AGRON and the number is 1-800-966-7697. They were very good to work with and sent a replacement lace system out free of charge. ... read more
I love the Adistar Boosts ESM! The addition of the mesh upper makes the shoes more breathable and the superior Boost sole provides cushioning for every kind of step. The flexibility of the Adistar Boosts also makes them more versatile running-wise, but these shoes are the best for walking and easy runs. I gave these shoes 4 stars out of 5 only because these shoes are NOT TRUE TO SIZE. I wear a size 13. And comparing the Adistar Boost ESM to the Supernova Boosts lines, the Supernovas are truer and more breathable in my natural size. The ESM 13's felt like a true size 12. No toe room at all. I returned and exchanged the Adistar ESM for a size 14 and instantly fell in love. They feel as comfortable as the Supernova Boost Glide uppers with better cushioning! Love 'em! ... read more
How difficult can it be to find a pair of running shorts that do not cover half or the entire upper thigh? Not easy, I think they must have gone out of fashion. But then I found these 2.5" inch split shorts at our local Adidas Store. They are comfortable to wear: light and with a perfect fit. And they have a nice neutral look with a quality feel. ... read more
I just completed my thru hike of the Appalachian Trail. I purchased the Terrex Fast X as a replacement shoe in Daleville, VA and finished my journey with them on Mt Katahdin. Great shoe excellent grip on rocks and dry quickly after becoming wet. I would highly recommend this shoe. I will be wearing them on the PCT next summer. Toasted Toad ... read more
Absolutely the best hiking shoe I ever owned. Came from the Merrel brand, needed something less sneaker like, but not a full blown hiking shoe with all the clunkyness. This thing feels perfect the minute you put in on, no breaking in necessary. Good job Adidas! ... read more
Ok, so I'm in high school cross country, and these are the only shoes i will buy. The cushioning is excellent, the stability is amazing, and the new ESMs have great ventilation. And they look amazing. I would wish they would last a little longer, for the price. But they are still excellent. I cannot recommend them higher/ ... read more
I really wanted to love these shoes, and did really like the feel of the ESM materials and boost midsole. However, there is a noticeable piece of welded rubber on the inside of the toe area (matching the same-sized piece of rubber on the outside) that would rub my big toe to the point of almost feeling like water torture after a few miles. And longer and I would not doubt have a blister. There also did not seem to be enough padding in the rear heal to keep the plastic heal clutch from rubbing my achilles, also cause for abrasion. Maybe it's just my janky feet, but I was hoping for more in the details for the price of these shoes. ... read more
I didn't plan on spending a lot on jogging trainers. I've only recently started jogging and realised i needed something with more support, light weight and comfort. After trying a range of different shoes from different manufactures i put these on and all i can say is wow! I knew straight away I had to buy them, well worth the price. I even where them to the gym and the comfort, bounce and support are excellent for gym use too. ... read more
hands down best adidas shoe on the market right now... great for stability, cushion, shock absorptions. use for any type of training. mostly running, but everyday use is definitely ok. turn heads when you walk around :P ... read more
This is my first pair of Adidas running shoes, and I really love it. To be honest, I had my doubts at first as I have always bought running shoes from their biggest competitor. When the Adidas pure boost 1 was launched, I bought it and love the comfortable "pillow-like" feeling of the sole. But I reckon it is more of a fashion sneaker than a running shoe and I could not compare it with my previous pair of running shoes. So based on my initial impression on the pure boost technology, I decided to go ahead and purchase the adistar boost esm. It became clear that I have made the right choice after my first 5km run with the adistar boost esm. But what is surprising is how I felt after my 2nd run the very next day. Usually, with my previous pair, I will be feeling the aches in my feet and ankles. With this Adistar, the soreness did not happen. Leaving everything constant (I run on treadmills only, distance, warm-ups and cool-downs, etc), I feel that this must be attributed to the pure boost technology. To date, I have ran 25kms in this AdistarBoostESM, and I have never felt better running. In fact, I dont recall this same feeling when I first bought my last pair of lunarglides. And because I can now run consecutively without feeling the sore and aches, I have even ramped up my training plans. Apart from the Pure Boost technology, I love how the shoe fit my foot with the techfit upper. It fits like a glove, but yet not constricting when you run. The shoe tongue is plushy, so you will not feel the laces. Some reviewers have complained about the blister forming at the toe area, but I do not have that blister problem. In fact, I find that the rubber piece at the tip of the shoe that caused them blisters helps your feet to stay in place when you run so that you will not "slip" due to the sock-like upper. It might be because they do not have a good fit (ie. they bought a size too small or big), or that they have a badly designed socks with the seams sewn at the toe area. On a side note, I strongly suggest you to invest in a pair of running socks as it does make a difference. Running socks are sewn differently, and the seams are actually further back before the nail-bed. They actually do help to prevent blisters and provide comfort when running. In conclusion, I really love the Adistar Boost ESM, and I will definitely recommend it if you are looking at a pair of Stability running shoes. ... read more
I am a carpenter and occasional hiker. Got these because they felt real good in the REI store and they looked very cool too ( got the dk green/black), go great with my camo and army green stuff! The more I wear them the more I like them, they fit perfect (I am an 11-1/2 D and that's what I got and they fit! Great support, but feel very light! I reach for them in my closet, amongst many other high end boots, they are currently my favorites. The lacing system is very nice, they cinch up evenly with pretty much one pull, and they loosen up for removal very easily too, this is a feature that you appreciate a few days after you purchase these! Great hiking shoes, I hope they never change them, I'm buying another pair right away!! ... read more
I purchased these shoes after having a entry level trail shoe made by Adidas. Loved the previous shoe, it preformed flawlessly. Only drawback to the shoes is they run narrow in the toe box. I bought them for work. I am a garbage man. I have had them all. Danner, Columbia, Timberland, ect. $250 boots that last 6 months and fail at being waterproof almost instantly. This shoe has a toe guard and Gore-Tex. I wore the soles off the previous shoes without my feet ever getting wet. This shoe is pretty stiff, with great support. I love the true orthotic insole, it helps me fight fatigue since I am on my feet for 7 hours. ... read more
This shirt is light and feels great. I love how ventilated it feels on hot days, very breathable. It is beautiful, I got both the white/orange/purple and the purple/orange. It is very comfortable to wear and the fitting is just about perfect (maybe a touch long, but that is it). The only problem I have had is when I wear an iPhone armband with this shirt. The velcro from the armband clings very easily to the fabric of the shirt, the fabric of the shirt is unfortunately most clingy to velcro around the rib cage area, the same level most people that use an armband place it (bicep). Even the slightest bit of velcro exposed from an armband will cling easily to this shirt and when pulled off from the shirt, it is taking shreds of the shirt with it. I would suggest if you run with this shirt, to do it without the armband or at least, flip the armband around so it doesn't damage your shirt! It could be a design improvement on adidas part. I only seem to have this issue with this shirt, but I still like it a lot. So it is annoying, but my love for the shirt makes it a minor issue for me. ... read more
Overall 4/5 Stars. I know a lot of shoe manufacturer's don't usually cater to people with larger feet (Me being a 13.5-14) even though they sell out of the 11-13s super quickly and are always left with the smallest sizes on Clearance. I got the 13s since they were the largest size. My feet feel a bit cramped and I have to constantly pull up my socks in order to get my shoes on so my feel aren't cramped. Enough about my personal issues, these shoes are great for the most part, I do feel the extra bounce to my step and they are very good running shoes. Used for about a month now and I love them. I'll be looking for some thinner socks to hopefully make up for the crampyness. ... read more
I love this shoe. I work on my feet all day as well as hike around the trails near my house and this shoe is incredible. I commute by bike in the PNW and my feet have never gotten wet in the rain. Super comfortable. They don't breathe as well as a regular sneaker, but the antimicrobial treatment to the insoles works wonders and they never smell. The reason I', giving four stars instead of 5 is because the laces broke on the first hike. I tied a knot in them and they lasted a little while and broke again. Only on one shoe. They've lasted with two knots in them for a good while now and don't hinder the performance, so I still think they are absolutely great. ... read more

Meca, a Scandinavian automotive aftermarket distributor uses IBS supply chain software
Meca is one of the largest and fastest growing car parts and accessories companies in Scandinavia. Meca prides itself on offering customers high availability, personal commitment, competence and quality products.
Based in Sweden, Meca is the result of a 2001 merger between MBD and Perssons. The group imports, sells and distributes car parts in Norway, Sweden and Denmark . The company sells everything from windscreen wipers to education for garage owners.
Meca is a fast-growing organisation with two parallel concepts – 80 retail car part stores and more than 500 vehicle repair shops. With stock in excess of 600,000 items, the company not only offers parts, it imports and sells them to retailers and mechanics in its own and other repair shops. These repair shops make up the majority of Meca's customers.
In the future Meca will offer a new concept in the automotive aftermarket called 'Meca Service Centre'. In order to offer all kinds of services to car owners, the company will build about 50 Service Centers around Scandinavia where companies and mechanics will be able to hire premises and equipment.
Few IT solutions are flexible enough to cope with Meca's phenomenal growth. Invoiced order lines alone are a staggering six million per year. The previous IT systems used by MECA were not up to the task.
Cars today are becoming more and more technologically sophisticated and the number of spare parts is increasing. The size of the financial investment involved in stocking parts demands more efficient inventory control. Competitors do not surrender easily and distribution software must be faultless and fast-acting. The order process must be rapid and easy to use, to fill orders and keep customers satisfied. Taxation reports and import regulation compliances must be transparent and instantly available.
Meca needed to find a supply chain software solution capable of supporting 600 daily users and an 80 percent annual growth while handling the stringent demands of the automotive aftermarket.
After studying a number of options, Meca selected IBS' integrated ERP software for the automotive aftermarket, along with IBS' flexible Enterprise Application Integration tool, IBS Integrator. The IBS ERP solution includes warehouse management, financials, order picking terminals, electronic invoice handling and analysis.
IBS Integrator is a powerful tool for systems integration, data management, data replication and synchronization. It supports the interface between Meca's repair outlets and suppliers and enables e-business transactions.
Customers can search an online product catalogue for spare parts through Meca's website. When the desired part is found and the customer submits an order, the IBS EAI software automatically transfers the part number to Meca's business system. The order is automatically created, using the customer's approved contract and pricing agreement, with no human intervention necessary.
Shipping documentation is also automatically created. IBS Integrator extracts the required data — such as package size and weight, customs information and delivery details— from Meca's business system to create the necessary documentation.

Cold War Kids Tickets - The Cold War Has Definitely Not EndedAt least in the music industry. But this is a good cold war. So says the great area of Long Beach, California, when a group of hopefuls in the music industry by the names of Matt Aveiro, Matt Maust, Jonnie Russell, and Nathan Willet began their journey into the industry with true passion. Signing with Monarchy Music in 2005 and then with Downtown Records in the summer of 2006, it became clear their path.
Cold War Kids Tickets - Weapons Ready! Here Comes the MusicTheir full-length debut was a powerful one, entitled Robbers & Cowards, followed by a 2008 release called Loyalty to Loyalty. They're still going strong as we speak with a third album release in early 2011 entitled Mine Is Yours. Nothing was going to stop this strong band, especially when they were working with a Grammy-winning producer by the name of Jacquire King for that third album.
Cold War Kids Tickets - The Cannons of the Cold WarHere's a band with deep musical roots that you'd appreciate. If you were to listen to their work, you'd recognize the sounds of Bob Dylan in there. Others are rich in their chords, such as Billie Holiday, Jeff Buckley, and Velvet Underground. All iconic, historical bands. The best thing about the Cold War Kids is their soulful sound, their taste and take on indie rock unlike anything you probably had ever heard. That's where the Cold War Kids truly shine in the industry.

Show details
The Real Housewives of Miami
Six women are at the center of the Miami housewife universe.
We're sorry, there are no episodes of "The Real Housewives of Miami" available to record on your "East Coast " lineup in the next 14 days.
This entry in the ``Real Housewives'' franchise sticks to the tried-and-true formula that has made other incarnations a staple on the Bravo schedule. The women featured on the series are at the center of the Miami housewife universe, though not all are actually wives at the time of the show's filming. Among the women are Adriana De Moura, known as the Brazilian bombshell of Miami's art scene, and Texas native Lea Black, a committed philanthropist who is married to one of America's top criminal defense attorneys.

12 notable White House petitions
Build a Death Star
"Those who sign here petition the United States government to secure funding and resources, and begin construction on a Death Star by 2016," the petition reads.
In a lengthy response titled "This Isn't the Petition Response You're Looking For," the White House wrote: "The Administration shares your desire for job creation and a strong national defense, but a Death Star isn't on the horizon. Here are a few reasons:
"The construction of the Death Star has been estimated to cost more than $850,000,000,000,000,000. We're working hard to reduce the deficit, not expand it. The Administration does not support blowing up planets. Why would we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?"(Photo: AP Photo)

Props to Matt Kemp, and my prayers to the young man. He is the true champ, not the men hitting homeruns, or throwing game winning TDs, but him battling every day with courage and an unwavering positive spirit.

I am a die hard Giants fan but now I am also a fan of the man that Matt Kemp is. His sincere gesture is the way all young Pro Athletes should emulate.

I saw an ESPN Special on Kemp a few years ago and had much respect for him, but this takes it to another level. As a die-hard Giants Fan I see that he has a great heart and sees more to life than just baseball. Should any of my sons stray from the orange and black, I would be honored to have them wear your jersey.

Bridgeport Hospital's REACH Adult Program offers intensive treatment for people with psychiatric and/or substance abuse problems.
REACH offers three programs for adults and older adults: the Partial Hospital Program, the Intensive-Outpatient Program, and Outpatient Program.
The Partial Hospital (PHP) and Intensive-Outpatient Program (IOP)
The Partial Hospital Program provides structured daily treatment Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.
In the Intensive-Outpatient Program, patients are seen three to four times per week, 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.
In either program, patients are placed in one of four different tracks designed specifically for their individual needs.
Acute Track. A brief period of therapy (a few weeks or months).
Dual Diagnosis Track. For substance abusers who also have received a psychiatric diagnosis.
Focus Track. Supportive group therapy for the chronically mentally ill.
Older Adult Track. For those who are facing the mental health issues that often come as we grow older.
REACH Outpatient Program
The REACH Adult Program also provides outpatient groups, offered one or two times each week. These groups allow staff to monitor patients' progress and help patients maintain their independence in a less intensive, more cost-effective setting than inpatient, Partial Hospital, or Intensive Outpatient programs.
Patients' treatment needs are met by a board-certified psychiatrist, psychiatric nurses, social workers, activity therapists, substance abuse counselors, and support staff.

The bender in the pic you're asking about is for flat and square stock. They can be modified with round face dies to do rounds and heavy wall tube, but nothing like exhaust pipe.
If you could put a big enough cheater bar on the handle, and fit your pipe in there, it would only kink it in half. You need a draw type bender for thin wall. A lot of people confuse those with mandrel benders. Mandrel benders have a follow die INSIDE the tube being drawn to retain the full ID in the bend.

Here's a photo of one of my small projects. It is a torque wrench extender that I made, so I could use my wrench with a 150# upper limit to torque the flywheel bolt on a VW engine, requiring 253# of torque. My guess is that some of you will have one of these extenders, but I'll bet some will not. By using the extender one can double the torque provided by a standard 1/2" drive torque wrench. When using the extender, a setting of 125# of torque on the wrench will yield 250# at the socket.
I drilled, then filed, a 1/2" square hole to accept the socket coupler on the wrench, and welded a 3/8" to 1/2" drive extender to the other end. The distance between the hole center and extender center should equal the functional length of the wrench, depending on which style is used (beam or clicker).

Here are a few of mine.
I'm just a hobby weldor. Mostly self taught. I only have a torch and a little Thunderbolt so the thin stuff is all gas welded. Gas is slow, but I enjoy it. Maybe someday I'll get a mig, but can't justify the expence for now.
The work bench tops came from an old modular office cubicle set up that was taken out of our billing office at work. They were free and so cool I took them home and made 4 rolling work benches. I'm still trying to talk my buddy out of the other 4 tops that he got.
The wheel base on the burnishing station has the brake rotor welded into it. They are both cast-offs from one of our ambulances. The rotor makes the base very heavy and stable.
1) Torch cart (gas)
2) Weld table. Plans adapted from welding book. (stick)
3) Leather burnishing station. (I make custom holsters and gun belts.) (stick)
4) Steel and pipe storage (gas)
5) Work bench (stick)

I was trying to catch up a bit but some super nice stuff in this thread I certainly hadn't thought of. In the second pic the bracket started as a 1 fixture unit but got extended with a conduit coupling and additional guy wire. In the last one I use that getup for service lighting near equipment. These new CF Ls will be even easier and cheaper to operate but for near a compressor or electric panel I usually use a common 100 watt incandescent lamp.

Welding corner fan
This is the welding corner with the fan in the upper left.
I was fortunate enough to pick up this hood from a place that was shutting down. It went from rectangle to 12" round which just matched up with my fan. I custom made the shroud (painted red) with a removable panel on the left to get at the motor.
Fan is in the very corner and exhausts through a Dayton shutter to the outside wall. The 90 degree elbow and the round to square are standard HVAC parts.
I bought a 3 phase motor on ebay to use with a variable speed drive. This gives me control of the fan rpm, cfm, and noise level. The fan is mounted on rubber mounts to keep down vibration.
That actually may just be a nut welded onto the thing...but I'd still like to know (tap and die or something)Millermatic 212
