Pure Hockey EXCLUSIVE colors so you can get just what you want.
4 Roll break design for extreme comfort and mobility.
Nash palm for durability and feel of the stick.
3 piece articulated thumb for maximum thumb movement.
|Favorite Reebok Gloves by MJ from Bloomington, Central US
I have owned the previous Reebok Pro 4-Roll, Reebok 9000, and Easton S9 gloves. These are great for recreational, advanced and higher level competitive hockey. This glove is roomy through the hand without being loose, wrist mobility is outstanding, and the dry fit fabric allows them to dry quickly and reduces smell. Similar to the previous version of Reebok Pro 4-Rolls, I found them much lighter than the 9000s, and lighter than most gloves I have tried on, while maintaining solid padding with plastic insert coverage. Very nice gloves.
|Great glove - thin palm by David from Peabody, Massachusetts
Ive been using Reebok Pro 4-Rolls for a few years, both the Vector logo and the Reebok version. Incredibly comfortable and provides pro-level protection. My only gripe w/this is the nash palm is VERY thin. I've gone through it in just over a month of playing 2x a week in a competitive men's league. In that regard, Im disappointed in the quality of the glove but still maintain the comfort and protection is top notch.
|Great Gloves by Jay from Syracuse, NY
Always been a fan of the 4 roll design. Had to replace some old gloves which I have have for about 10 years. After looking for about 6 months I found these. Couldnt find a newer style glove which was comfortable, ie. any other glove which isnt a 4 roll. When I found these and tried them on I was more than impressed. Good durable material, they break in easily, split finger, and have the plastic inserts for the extra protection. The cuff length is a bit shorter then i expecting on a 14 in. glove but it give a bit more freedom. Would tell anyone to buy these over any other 4 roll glove.
|Dont Waste Your Money by Pat from Ware, MA
after a single one hour of stick time, the palms are completely torn apart and my thumb already broke through. could not be more disappointed in the quality. My Rbk 7000s lasted a full season, and these last one stick time Unbelievable.
|Palms FALL Apart!!! by J from Phoenix, AZ
The palms in these wear out after only 2 months of use. NOT GOOD and I would not recommend these gloves unless you want to buy a new pair of gloves every month and flush your money down the toilet. AVOID

I have been trying to redo MonitOff so that instead of it turning off I want it to turn off when I push Shift+F1 (+F1). I then went it to turn back on when I push Control+Shift+F1 (^+F1). I'm wanting this program to run in XP and I would like to autoStart when windows start so that is it always active. I would prefer to not have to put AutoHotKeys on all the computer so if it is possible to make it a .exe file I would love that.

Interpretive Handbook
85107 :
Mycoplasma pneumoniae Antibodies, IgG and IgM, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is an important respiratory tract pathogen.
Several syndromes have been associated with the infection including pharyngitis, tracheobronchitis, pneumonia, and inflammation of the tympanic membrane presenting as bullous myringitis.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae accounts for approximately 20% of all cases of pneumonia. Classically, it causes a disease that has been described as primary atypical pneumonia. The disease is of insidious onset with fever, headache, and malaise for 2 to 4 days before the onset of respiratory symptoms. Most cases do not require hospitalization. Symptomatic infections attributable to this organism most commonly occur in children and young adults (ages 2-19 years).(1)
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
An aid in the diagnosis of disease associated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Positive IgM results are consistent with acute infection, although false positives do occur (see Cautions).
A single positive IgG result only indicates previous immunologic exposure.
Negative results do not rule-out the presence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae-associated disease. The specimen may have been drawn before the appearance of detectable antibodies. If testing is performed too early following primary infection, IgG and/or IgM may not be detectable. If a Mycoplasma infection is clinically indicated, a second specimen should be submitted in 14 to 21 days.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
A diagnosis should not be made on the basis of antimycoplasma results alone. Test results should be interpreted in conjunction with the clinical evaluation and the results of other diagnostic procedures.
The use of hemolytic, lipemic, bacterially contaminated, or heat-inactivated specimens should be avoided as erroneous results may occur.
Assay performance characteristics have not been established for matrices other than serum.
The continued presence or absence of antibodies cannot be used to determine the success or failure of therapy.
Testing should not be performed as a screening procedure for the general population. Testing should only be done when clinical evidence suggests the diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae-associated disease.
The performance of this test has not been established on neonates and immunocompromised patients.
Performance of the IgM assay has not been tested with specimens known to be positive for antibodies to organisms that are known to be associated with lower respiratory illness (ie, influenza A and B, cytomegalovirus, Chlamydophila pneumoniae, parainfluenza), and closely related serovars known to cross-react with Mycoplasma pneumoniae, such as Mycoplasma genitalium and Mycoplasma hominis, as well as various Ureaplasma species. Cross-reactivity studies with such organisms have not been performed with this assay.
The IgG removal system included with the IgM test system has been shown to functionally remove the IgG from specimens containing total IgG levels ranging from 300 to 600 mg/mL. The effectiveness of this removal system at IgG levels exceeding 600 mg/mL has not been established.
The prevalence of Mycoplasma IgM antibody is relatively low, which affects the assay's predictive value.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
< or =0.90 (negative)
0.91-1.09 (equivocal)

When the 150 members of the 85th Iowa General Assembly convene at the Statehouse Monday, Union County residents will have two veteran lawmakers representing them for the first time.
After redistricting was completed for Iowa House and Senate districts, Union County will now be served by Sen. Hubert Houser, R-Carson, and Rep. Jack Drake, R-Griswold.
Union County is on the eastern edge of both districts, as Houser's Senate District 11 stretches across Union, Adams, part of Cass and most of rural Pottawattamie County. The city of Council Bluffs is not in his district.
Houser, 70, is a farmer from Carson. He has been a state legislator since 2003.
Drake, 78, is also a farmer and longtime lawmaker, in office since 1993. An Atlantic High School graduate, he farmed near Walnut for many years and has lived in Griswold for four years. He defeated Creston Democrat John Rose in the November 2012 general election.
Drake's House District 21 includes all of Adams and Union counties, most of Cass County and the far eastern side of Pottawattamie County.
Boundaries were also revised for two longtime area legislators. Rep. Clel Baudler, R-Greenfield, serves House District 20 that includes all of Guthrie and Adair counties, the northeast portion of Cass County (including Anita and Wiota) and five townships in northwest Dallas County.
Rep. Cecil Dolechek, R-Mount Ayr, represents House District 24. It includes Ringold, Taylor and Page counties, and four townships in Montgomery County, which includes Villisca and Stanton. He no longer has any of Union County in his district.
All four of the region's policymakers said they expect debate over commercial property tax reduction and funding requests for Gov. Terry Branstad's education proposals.
Branstad is scheduled to unveil his budget plan next week. His office has stated that lowering commercial property taxes is his top budget priority, but he is willing to consider other tax issues.
The effects of federal funding cutbacks will be considered when debate begins on how to use a state budget surplus said to be $804.6 million by the Legislative Services Agency. House Speaker Kraig Paulsen, R-Hiawatha, said this week a portion of that surplus should be returned to taxpayers.
Paulson also wants lowering income taxes to be on the table.
With split control still in the General Assembly, it remains to be seen how much gets accomplished on tax and budget issues, including another proposal to increase the gas tax to fund road and bridge repairs.
Republicans hold a 53-46 edge in the Iowa House, pending a Jan. 22 special election, and Democrats return with a 26-24 majority in the Iowa Senate.
Houser said there won't be much time to address social issues in this year's 110-day session. For example, state leaders said at a press briefing Wednesday they have no mandate to enact broad-based state legislation addressing gun violence and school safety, leaving those security matters to individual school districts and communities.
"There are lots of new people coming in," Houser said. "In our Republican Senate caucus, of 24 people only six have served longer than one term. There's an adjustment period. We need to focus on the doable matters."
Commercial taxes
Representing a state border area, Houser said commercial property tax relief is a long time coming.
"Our commercial property tax is probably twice what Nebraska's is," Houser said. "It puts you in a non-competitive position. This would be one area I would think we'd look at with some of this new (surplus) money. But, what Washington does will have a huge effect on what we do, because over half of the state money that goes out to local governments is actually federal dollars."
Education proposals
As a member of the House Education Committee and chairman of the Education Appropriations sub-committee, Dolecheck figures to be in the midst of discussions about how to fund the governor's education-reform package.
"I know we're looking at some type of accountability measures and involve teachers in more leadership roles," Dolecheck said. "There's a push to put additional money into teacher salaries, based on (classroom) results and to reward those teachers who take on those leadership roles."
Baudler, a retired Iowa State Patrol Trooper, is drafting legislation related to prosecution for recreational drug use, such as K2 (synthetic marijuana) and bath salts. Bath salts is the informal "street name" for a family of designer drugs often containing substituted cathinones, which have effects similar to amphetamine and cocaine.
"County attorneys want more formulas for dealing with first-time drug people, and getting them into treatment," Baudler said.
EPA issue
Drake, meanwhile, has been busy communicating with constituents on farm nutrient-management proposals, in light of EPA criticism of Iowa agriculture for sending chemicals down the Mississippi River basin.
"I know the secretary of agriculture and DNR director would like to help phase in a voluntary plan that could be phased in, rather than draft immediate mandatory rules that may not fit different parts of the state," Drake said.
Drake is being assisted by the Iowa Soybean Association in providing data from different chemical application methods. Additional cost-share money for soil conservation construction projects could come into play, Drake said.

Guest DJ: Robin Thicke
[CLICK HERE to listen to Robin Thicke's Guest DJ'd station on iHeartRadio]
Robin Thicke has had no qualms admitting he'd do anything to get his estranged wife, actress Paula Patton, back. Case in point: The first single from his new album is aptly titled "Get Her Back." Oh, and let's not forget that his new album is named after her.
The pair separated back in February, and while the future of their relationship remains to be determined, Robin's immediate future is all about Paula.
When he was in New York City recently promoting the new album, Robin Thicke stopped by iHeartRadio headquarters to curate his own Guest DJ station. In addition to songs from Paula, the station features a soulful mix of classic from the likes of Bill Withers, The Isley Brothers and The Jackson 5 as well as music from current pop staples like Calvin Harris, Lorde and John Legend.

Free tickets
•Beginning at 6 a.m. today, the Hoosier Lottery will give one free Powerball ticket to the first 425 players who visit Ricker's at 5823 Coldwater Road. Players must be 18 years or older to participate. Tickets are valued at $2 each.
Tonight's drawing – at 10:59 – for $500 million is the biggest Powerball jackpot ever and the second-largest lottery payout ever in the U.S., according to the Hoosier Lottery. The largest, a $656 million Mega Millions jackpot, was won by three ticket-holders in March.
At noon Tuesday, the estimated jackpot jumped from $425 million to $500 million, prompting many Fort Wayne residents to stop by local gas stations and stores to pick up a ticket.
The increase was due to "robust sales nationwide," the Hoosier Lottery said.
Across the city Tuesday afternoon, gas stations reported seeing dozens of people stopping by, some spending $10, $20 or more, with fingers crossed that the prize would be theirs.
"We've been busy all day with people coming in," said Jasmine Howard, who works at the BP gas station on Crescent Avenue.
Although Howard said the store won't know an official ticket sales count until today, Tuesday's sales had been impressive.
"I had one lady in here that spent $15, including Power Play" (which multiplies winnings), Howard said. "That's been the biggest one so far."
For Kathy Saylor, the decision to buy a lottery ticket for tonight's drawing was a last-minute purchase. The Fort Wayne woman, who stopped by the Shell station at East State Boulevard and Maplecrest Road to pick up a few items Tuesday afternoon, decided to try her luck.
She bought 10 tickets, spending a total of $20.
That $20 won't be missed too much if she wins the big one, Saylor said.
"I play maybe three times a year, so I spent the whole budget on this one," she said.
If she wins, Saylor said she would have to take 30 days to come back to reality before she'd spend any money.
"I wouldn't want to go spending it right away. I would want to take some time to think about it," she said.
But first on the list would be loading up the family for a two-week trip to Disney World, she said.
Standing behind Saylor in line was Fort Wayne resident Clyde Shields, who pulled two dollar bills from his wallet and handed it to the man at the register.
Shields said he hadn't planned to buy a ticket, but with the possibility of winning big, it was too hard to pass up a $2 ticket.

Human domination of the biosphere: Rapid discharge of the earth-space battery foretells the future of humankind
Earth is a chemical battery where, over evolutionary time with a trickle-charge of photosynthesis using solar energy, billions of tons of living biomass were stored in forests and other ecosystems and in vast reserves of fossil fuels. In just the last few hundred years, humans extracted exploitable energy from these living and fossilized biomass fuels to build the modern industrial-technological-informational economy, to grow our population to more than 7 billion, and to transform the biogeochemical cycles and biodiversity of the earth. This rapid discharge of the earth's store of organic energy fuels the human domination of the biosphere, including conversion of natural habitats to agricultural fields and the resulting loss of native species, emission of carbon dioxide and the resulting climate and sea level change, and use of supplemental nuclear, hydro, wind, and solar energy sources. The laws of thermodynamics governing the trickle-charge and rapid discharge of the earth's battery are universal and absolute; the earth is only temporarily poised a quantifiable distance from the thermodynamic equilibrium of outer space. Although this distance from equilibrium is comprised of all energy types, most critical for humans is the store of living biomass. With the rapid depletion of this chemical energy, the earth is shifting back toward the inhospitable equilibrium of outer space with fundamental ramifications for the biosphere and humanity. Because there is no substitute or replacement energy for living biomass, the remaining distance from equilibrium that will be required to support human life is unknown.

A new national survey conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and researchers at Yale University found that fewer than 1 in 3 Americans, and 40 percent of Catholics, are aware of Pope Francis's efforts to publicize global warming as a priority issue for the Catholic Church. While there is relatively low awareness of the papal encyclical, a majority of Americans say it is appropriate for the pope to take a public position on the issue of global warming. This is true even though very few Americans consider global warming as an issue of religion, social justice, or poverty. The nationwide poll was collected July 17 to 19, 2015, using the AmeriSpeak Omnibus, the probability-based panel of NORC at the University of Chicago. Online and telephone interviews using landlines and cell phones were conducted with 1,030 adults.
In contrast to today, when warming from our industrial injection of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere threatens life on the planet, in the deep past, CO2 pulled planet earth from a permanent, deathly world-wide deep freeze, maybe more than once. In both cases, it's those same heat-trapping properties that made the difference.
It's all more evidence of how co2 has acted as the planet's "biggest control knob" for temperature over 4 billion years.

What are you baking these days? February 2012 [old]
Hi all, starting this (the second anniversary edition!) a wee bit early because I have much less access to the internet in the mornings lately...Have been baking a bit less too (after a burst that left us with far more baked goods than two people can get themselves around), but intend to get going again this weekend. So...what are you baking these days?
re: angelsmom
I love that cake.
re: buttertart
How long do you blend in your food processor. I just looked at the original in the NY Times and it said to mix 8minutes in stand mixer.
re: angelsmom
Sounds like something tasty! I'll have to check out this recipe.
Is this the one?
I haven't baked anything since Christmas but I'm trying to decide on something delicious for the Super Bowl (it need not be football or NY/NE themed, just good eats!). Inspire me, Chowhounds!
Right this minute, a Lazy Scone (saves time to do it in a pie pan and cut in wedges). 1 1/4 cups flour, 1 1/4 cups oats, 1 1/2 tsps baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/3 cup brown sugar all in a big bowl. In a big cup: 1/4 cup oil, 1 egg, 1/2 cup milk, 1-2 tsp maple extract. Mix in with 2 tablespoons soft butter and some golden raisins and chopped walnuts (or dates or whatever you like). Bake in pie pan @ 350 for about 25 minutes. Beloved niece is now on plane en route here. Will have warm scone and coffee ready for her.
re: Querencia
Love lazy recipes with little clean-up. Your last sentence made me smile, very sweet. :)
I make the crumb cake recipe from Carole Walters Great Coffeecake recipes, and it was super simple (1 bowl), and super good. It is the perfect breakfast for my son who doesn't like to eat in the morning.
Having to do some vegan baking and experimenting. Not so much enjoying it. Man eggs are useful. That said, I'm mostly pleased with a chocolate cupcake with a cocoa PB frosting, faux-reos, speculaas, and carrot cake. Planning on a Amartetto Blueberry Crumble tomorrow, and hopefully another couple of plated desserts and possibly ice cream, upon which I must and will decide tonight.
Have a cake contest coming up in March, and got to do a test run of "woodgrain fondant." i was quite pleased with the results.

Mar 29, 2010
I met with a friend for lunch yesterday. I was so nice to catch up a bit and have some girl talk. We went to a restaurant that is in a little mall. Of course that is perfect for a little shopping after lunch don't you think?
We went first to a leather shop looking at all the gorgeous leather coats and wallets. Not many deals there to catch the eye. Wander down a little further to a clothing store. The only nice piece of clothing I found was $70 for a little shirt. Uh, no thanks. I bought some nightgowns and we moved on.
On to a home decorating store where once again there was very little of interest. We did find something that is going to be the container for a birthday gift we are giving....next February. Hey I like to be organized. Don't laugh.
Lastly we went to a store called Home Sense. For all my US friends that is the same as TJ Maxx stores. Except one big difference. In Canada we don't know how to put something on clearance. I am serious. A regular sale price here is at most usually 20% off the item. I head to the clearance sections and what do I find?
Big clearance...Regular price $14.99 red tagged clearance $12.99. Big deal, not. I mean really people isn't a clearance price supposed to be at least half price. I saw this on most of the clearance items. They have barely marked them down at all.
Now how am I supposed to tablescape and decorate with all of you when I can't even get napkin rings for under 6 bucks apiece. I ask you how??
I have often shopped in Washington State and have seen the kinds of deals you guys get. I have seen the markdowns to 70% off with a store special coupon to take 10% more off everything in the store, sale price or not. Even if I pay duty and taxes on the stuff to cross back over the border the same day it is worth it. Not to mention the selection and choices you have as well.
That does it. I will have to plan a shopping trip to the US. I will buy only clearance items and I will be looking for those extra markdowns that are everywhere. I will shop til I drop and my car will be so full it will take me hours to get through customs but boy will I be tablescaping then. Look out.

Someday I need to tell the story about the white wool jacket my mom bought my late husband. Lets put it this way my mom is the cheapest mom on the planet (generous but cheap if that makes sense), and she was THRILLED when she gave the cashier a $10 bill and got change back. But the story goes much deeper than that.
I hear you though - we rarely get the GREAT deals - thus is why I rarely shop. I inherited my mom's cheapness.

- Jean said...
I couldn't agree more! 20% off isn't a sale; it's the difference you find between a big retailer and the little guy if you shop around. 'Clearance' means (or should mean) priced to clear out -- even if it means dropping to 90% off to get rid of it. Unfortunately most stores hang on to stuuf until it's damaged beyond being desired before marking down more than 50%.

Don't even get me started on Grocery stores, Save on foods? Price Smart? Buy Low? What exactly are they talking about? They cost more then the others most of the time.
Or here's a good one, "another low price", are you kidding?
Our retailers need to smarten up, then maybe everyone would spend a bit more. And no, cutting back on Sales staff does not make me spend more.

I feel a bit sheepish. We do get great prices here and things at TJ Maxx and Marshall's go for a song. But the last time I picked up dishes there, I thought, I have dishes at home that I have only used for tablescapes. We have NEVER eaten off them. That is when I knew that I was playing a game that was costing me money. So I limit my trips. I have no self restraint. Maybe you guys are getting the REAL bargain!! :-)

- Cass @ That Old House said...
Oh I have to laugh at Jane's comment -- maybe you DO have the best deal, as you aren't tempted by the 70 or 90 percent off clearance racks, and don't end up filling your house with dishes and dishes and more dishes, and who knows what else?
But it IS fun to find the bargains. We feel your pain.

$2.00 off is not clearance for goodness sake! But I have to agree with Jane, it definitely would stamp out alot of temptation! So feel free to come on down to the States and stimulate our economy:) Kathy

Bonnie bunny is serious about her TV.
And don't even think about trying to steal the remote control! It's HERS.
I wonder what she's going to watch.
If she's anything like my rabbits she's currently eyeing those oh so chewable remote control buttons. Yumm!
Are we watching bugs bunny? or max and ruby? (childrens cartoon that happens to be bunnies)
Yup, those buttons would be toast around my bunnies.
Bonnie is one tech-savvy bunny. Maybe I'll have her come over to my house to program my PVR.
...Anyway, I'be far less interested in pressing the buttons on the remote control than in beeping her lovely nose!
lop noses rule!
It's true, Fleetie. Bonnie's nose is extremely beepable. I have smudges on my screen from trying to beep it.
Hee, Hee! I'm a bunny nose kisser and my screen has lip prints:-)
Well, thumpyfuzz, it's no wonder your screen has lip prints. Your Willow is so adorably fluffy and kissable.
In case you missed her, thumpyfuzz's Willow was the featured bunny on Friday, July 11/08.

Considering that a Standard lead acid battery and an Optima battery will have to perform their duties in production cars that have the same or very similar charging systems. It doesnt seem logical to me that you would need a special smart charger for the Optima batteries. I didnt see any warnings on the label with the Optima I just got. Mike

I havent really heard any feed back lately on Optima batteries. I hope they are as good as the price they charge for them. I have had an Optima in a restored vehicle that sits idle most of the time it only gets started every couple months.The last time I tried to start it the battery was dead and would not accept a charge (battery was two years old) I took it in this month and it was replaced with a new one free of charge under the 3 year replacement warranty. Hopefully it was a fluke. Mike

A great effect that gets your audience going, and that shows up well for a crowd! It's fun, it's fast, and your spectators are totally involved!
The effect: Introduce Lily Ladybug, a friendly looking and colorful cartoon bug. Ask your audience to count the spots on Lily's back- there are four on the front side, and two on the back. But wait, is that correct? When you show the front again, now there are SIX! And on the back, one of the spots has vanished- there are only THREE! And when you turn Lily to the front again, one of the six spots have vanished, and there are only FIVE!
But the routine isn't over yet. Ask the audience where the other spot might have gone? Ask them to pretend the spot is in their hand, and ask them to throw the pretend spot toward Lily. Oh- but so many children tossed a spot, that Lily now has 20 SPOTS on her back! And the spots turn silver!
Lots of fun with your audience. Great for kids shows- children really love the storyline, and love having the chance to be a part of the show.
Lily Ladybug is quality manufactured in Germany. She is 14 inches high and 10 inches wide, and is flat. Really colorful and easy to see!

I'm cheap.
I love dresses.
I wear dresses probably 6 days out of the week. It's not that I one day just decided to wear dresses to feel cute and girly. Far from it. I spend a lot of time sitting at home, knitting, crocheting, painting. I also spend a lot of time in the car traveling across the country. I absolutely hate the feel of jeans around my knees.. Ugh. The thought of it makes me grumpy.
Dresses are so comfortable, I can sit around the house and feel comfortable and cute. That's the best.
The only problem.. they are expensive! Now.. to me, 19.99 is expensive. I told you. I'm cheap. So I started making my own dresses, and skirts, for under 6 dollars each!
Here is a tutorial on a High Waisted Dress:
For under 6 bucks!
Step 1: What You Need
I got mine from Walmart for 2.50
You could also use a t-shirt
3 yards of matching fabric.
Clearance section is my favorite. I got three yards for 3.00 total!
cool I will try it to make money off of it. Thanks for the help
do have different dresses you made?
Wonderful dress, but isn't it hard to put on the dress? It doesn't have a zippered or anything like that, and since I'm very curvy I'm afraid that I wont be able to get it over my hips. Is this a valid fear or is it enough to use stretching fabric?
I'm impressed by your dress. I'm a large size but need an every day dress (frock as we say from England) that I can wear around the house in the hot weather. This will do the trick. Thanks.
(plenty of "practice" fabric, so I don't have an "Oh, NOOOO" moment)
I had trouble getting the ruffles to work so I did a freehand pleat instead - worked well for me.
This got me thinking ... Walmart and I am sure other stores as well have ribbed "thermal" type shirts as well ... This could be modified to have a longer skirt and be made to go with a sweater or something for easy cool weather wear as well :)
Thanks so much for sharing, this was a wonderful way to breathe some new life into my warm weather wardrobe while being easy on the pocket book! <3
(yea, one is shorter than the other ... I had cut corners off both ends of the yardage and had to trim it down :P still just past knee length though on the black one)
The Dress definitely suits you too. Looks like a money maker!
As a guy with a sewing machine, I'm putting this on my faves list!
if u ever find yourself in ayrshire...
oh, sorry got side tracked, great 'ible!

Rush for the Cure!
Last Updated on Friday, 09 November 2012 09:45
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month and the Pennsylvania Rush have taken that message to heart. Tamara Lutz done a great job for PA Rush and got the families to support purchasing "Rush To Find The Cure" Breast Cancer Awareness T-Shirts. The goal of selling the shirts was to help promote awareness of this terrible illness, but also to help raise money for the Susan G. Komen foundation. After all was said and done, Tamara and the Pennsylvania Rush will happily be donating $1290.00 to Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure Foundation!
"Tamara approached me about doing the fundraiser and I believed it was a great way to get the whole club working together for a great cause. We just want to bring awareness to the young girls in the club at an early age so when they are older they will automatically get checked and it could save their life. The earlier you can find the cancer the better your chances are of surviving and this is why we wanted to get the message out," said PA Rush Technical Director Nick Vitale.
"Your support has truly touched many but more importantly by raising funds and awareness we will hopefully touch the life of a woman currently afflicted with breast cancer and possibly save her life!"
Keep wearing your shirts through the month of October so that we continue to bring awareness!

The Cost of Marriage?
I have been fascinated by the coverage of Charles Murrays new book Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010, in which he notes that marriage has, increasingly, become the domain of the upper class.
In 1960, for example, 88% of those in the top fifth of income earners were married. By 2010, the percentage was nearly identical: 83%.
Among those in the working class, though, the numbers fell off a cliff. In 1960, 83% of those in the bottom 30% of income earners were married; by 2010, only 48% were.
In many ways, this is an astounding transformation, a radical shift that somehow did not
touch those who buy their food at Whole Foods, their sheets at Garnet Hill, and their overstuffed love seats at Pottery Barn.
But why?
Murray attributes the problem to several factors: a reduction in available jobs for those with high school educations, a decline in religiosity, and a disappearing stigma against out-of-wedlock births and divorce, among others.
Its certainly true that single parents are now the norm in many American cities and towns. Fifty years ago, fewer than 10% of working-class women had children outside marriage. Now were about 50%.
It was like living with another kid, 27-year-old Amber Strader explained to The New York Times. ...Id like to do it, but I just dont see it happening right now. Most of my friends say its just a piece of paper, and it doesnt work out anyway.
The comment served to buttress statistics showing that unmarried women under 30 now have more children than married women under 30, and educational level appears to be a major factor.
Among white women under 30, only 8% of those with a college degree have children out of wedlock. For those who have never attended college, more than half of children - 51% - are now born to unmarried mothers.
To me, this feels like fascinating stuff, and Ill follow up in a subsequent column. But first Id like to hear your view: what has happened here? What do you see around you?

On Feb. 1, 2012, pediatric services at Bridgeport Hospital were integrated with those at Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital (YNHCH), creating a second YNHCH campus in Bridgeport and enhancing the high-quality care it already provides. Harris Jacobs, MD, chair, Department of Pediatrics, discusses the results of that integration.
Q. What are some of the significant volume increases since the integration? Jacobs: During fiscal year 2013, volume for our pediatric services increased 30 percent and our neonatal volume increased 20 percent. This growth is largely the result of the closer collaboration between the two hospitals and the increased availability to our patients of pediatric subspecialties in New Haven. It all aligns with our philosophy of patient- and family-centered care, which is grounded in our belief that the best care is based on partnerships among patients, families and providers.
Q. How has the integration benefited pediatricians? Jacobs: Pediatrics at the Bridgeport campus is now the doorway to the entire Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital. This doorway allows pediatricians in the Bridgeport area to access all the specialties at YNHCH simply by sending a patient to the Bridgeport campus.
Q. How has the integration impacted the pediatric staff at the hospital? Jacobs: It's enabled the staff both in Bridgeport and New Haven to collaborate with a larger patient base and group of physicians, and share what they've learned. This collaboration enables both hospitals to:
Q. How has the integration benefited patients and their families? Jacobs: We continue to make changes in our practices that enhance patient care and outcomes. The integration allows us to share what we learn more quickly, thereby providing higherquality care to our patients at both campuses. Furthermore, we can model appropriate infant care to a larger group of patients.
An example is our "Back to Sleep" program." This is a national program designed to reduce Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The program places children to sleep on their backs and eliminates items like blankets and stuffed animals from the crib. We are modeling this behavior in infants in the appropriate age range admitted to both campuses.
Q. What are some of the programs and services offered by YNHCH that benefit Bridgeport Hospital providers and their patients? Jacobs:We're increasing access for our patients' families to a broader range of subspecialists. The goal is to enable them to consult on patients in our service area. This would include subspecialties such as gastroenterology and pediatric surgery.
Patients who give birth prematurely and require surgery also have access to the surgical staff in New Haven, which provides the highest level of care. Another advantage is the ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) program in New Haven, the only one in Connecticut and one of just three Extracorporeal Life Support Organization-registered programs in New England.
In short, we provide advanced total care for our infants. And with Epic, our patients benefit from provider access to a single electronic medical record, regardless of where they receive care in our health system.
Q. What developments are on the horizon? Jacobs: The most exciting one is a new pediatric subspecialty center at 5520 Park Avenue, Trumbull, which will open in spring 2014. This will include pediatric cardiology, pulmonology, gastroenterology and hematology.
Although we provide these subspecialties at Bridgeport Hospital, the Trumbull facility will make access to these services even more convenient.

What a waste
By Sandra
from East York, Ontario
I'm a fan of Pur Minerals, it's the only makeup I use now. However, I had the same poblem, the tips kept breaking off. I got these pencils at different times in showstoppers, it happened with all of them and I did not turn the lip colour up very high past the applicator. There was more in my sink then on my lips. What a waste because the colours were nice.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

maybe I had a dud
By tscshopaholic
from Canada,MB,WINNIPEG
I had one of these pencils in Pink Gypsum. The color was quite bright pink, not a natural flesh color that was promoted. I wasn't able to give it a fair try out because the end kept breaking off. I did like the brush end however. Maybe the one I got had a manufacturing problem.

I'm having a problem with a particular site blatently using our company name and published content without our permission to promote web-sales for themselves. I've looked up the general domain whois sites and found that this person (or persons) is hiding behind a seemingly well-known (based on all the google hits I got) service or company called Domain Discreet. So finding the actual owner of this site has been a challenge. All phone numbers on the site go to a recorded message that states 'someone will get back to you'.
Has anyone here ever have to deal with this?
If so, I'd really like some advise on how to get more information about the owners of this particular domain.
Thanks In Advance

Get comfortable, ride faster.
Pull on the KASK Vertigo Helmet, marvel at the way the Up 'n' Down retention system cradles your cranium, buckle the chin strap, and set out on your ride.

The Eco-Leather chin strap is washable, anallergenic, and phenomenally comfortable. Between the perfect fit, and the feathery 270 gram weight, you'll nearly forget your'e wearing a helmet.
- In-mold technology with inner strengthening frame makes the Vertigo incredibly strong while reducing weight
- Non-slip gel grippers on the Up 'n' Down adjustment system ensure everything stays in place
- 3D Dry Padding is comfortable, and extremely breathable for long days in the saddle
- Reflective stickers increase visibility to motorists

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.

sizes run very small. try one on at a bike shop before you purchase. they look great!!!!

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.

Conceived by Eero Saarinen with heavy input from GM design chief Harley Earl—and opened by President Eisenhower in 1956—the Cadillac Design Studio at the GM Technical Center was (and still is) a midcentury marvel filled with now-iconic pieces by Harry Bertoia, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Charles Eames. In fact, in 1985 it was the recipient of the American Institute of Architects' illustrious 25 Year Award, honoring buildings which have "stood the test of time for 25 to 35 years as an embodiment of architectural excellence."

Ard Louis on Intelligent Design
In this short video, physicist Ard Louis expresses some doubts about Intelligent Design, noting that his primary resistance to the movement is based on theological grounds rather than science.

In this short video, physicist Ard Louis expresses some doubts about Intelligent Design, noting that his primary resistance to the movement is based on theological grounds rather than science.
In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.
In this paper, Venema tells the story of his transition from support of Intelligent Design to the view that God uses evolution as a creative mechanism.
In this paper, adapted from an article from Science & Christian Belief, Dr. Oliver R. Barclay compares and contrasts the biblical view of design in nature with modern design arguments.
In this article, Venema offers his review of Stephen Meyer's book Signature in the Cell.
In this paper, Baylor philosophy professor Francis Beckwith distinguishes between Intelligent Design (ID) and Thomistic Design (TD).
In this video clip, Oxford University biophysicist, Ard Louis posits that one of the reasons Christians are hostile to evolution is that they latch onto a particular definition, which puts it in conflict with their theological convictions.
Many scientists feel that the ID movement is an attempt to locate gaps in our scientific knowledge and then to presume those gaps can only be filled by intervention of an external intelligence. It is important to note that ID leaders do not view their work this way.
Over the past two decades, the intelligent design movement has been working diligently to offer a parallel version of modern science, one that can scientifically show God at work in creation.
This article is a comprehensive study of the views of Christian author and apologist C. S. Lewis on the theory of evolution and the argument from intelligent design. It explains how he would distinguish expressly philosophical arguments for a Transcendent Mind from the current claims of the intelligent design (ID) movement to provide scientific evidence for such a reality.
In this paper, Venema explores several examples in biology where random mutation and natural selection have indeed led to substantial increases in biological information. The question of how new specified information arises in DNA, far from being an "enigma", is one of great interest to biologists.
Mathematics professor James Bradley looks at the design argument presented in William Dembski's book The Design Inference and offers his criticisms on the accuracy of the model.
In this video, five notable scientists (John Polkinghorne, David Wilkinson, Rodney Holder, Peter Williams and Graham Swinerd) offer their perspective on the strengths and limitations of the fine-tuning argument as a pointer to God.
I am asked all the time to explain, in a nutshell, why irreducible complexity is not a valid argument in favor of intelligent design. However, I have never heard anyone put it in a more cogent form than Oxford biophysicist Ard Louis in this video.

WOONSOCKET – A former Woonsocket Middle School teacher convicted of having a sexual relationship with a female student has been paroled from the Adult Correctional Institutions after serving just 12 years of a 20-year sentence.
Richard R. Lalime Jr., 42, registered as a sex offender with the Woonsocket Police Department on Nov. 21, the same day he was released from the ACI.
A former athletic coach and physical education teacher, Lalime had a relationship with a student that began when she was 12 years old and lasted until she was 14. The relationship was discovered when a Millville police officer saw them walking out of the woods together one day in April 2001 and Lalime was arrested.
He was later charged with 15 counts of child rape and abuse of a child in Massachusetts for incidents that occurred in Bellingham and Blackstone as well as Millville. In Rhode Island, he faced with seven more counts of child rape and third-degree sexual assault for incidents that occurred in the now-shuttered Woonsocket Middle School on West Park Place, his home in Woonsocket and a ballfield in Cumberland.
The late Superior Court Judge William Dimitri sentenced Lalime to 40 years on the Rhode Island charges, including 20 to serve at the ACI and 20 suspended with probation.
