text: Corrosion is a Business Killer: Afraid to Put in a New System Mike Murphy May 30, 2011 No Comments Many contractors have responded to the issue of formicary corrosion - an issue well-known to have existed for decades, but one that seems to be on the rise in recent years. It appears that progress being made toward a solution may be too slow. A contractor can go out of business trying to stay afloat waiting for the right answer to surface. Read More

just what I expected Puntuado con 1 de 5 estrellas
You talk about the main menu bar/box/whatever, then you say if you dont have one, then click on the orange squirrel/hedgehog/whatever - you dont say what to do if you dont have one of those, either. There is a 3-barred icon on the top right, it has a print button, but I dont see any way to edit the selection I want. Is this what you're talking about? This is complete and utter BS, I want to print a small section of a web page and I have spent 25 minutes trying to find out how to do it. This is very simple in other browsers, why is it so difficult here? I'm trying to like this browser, but you're making it very complicatedEsta valoración es de una versión anterior del complemento (16.8).
Documentation needs updating ...
Apologies - that section of the documentation refers to earlier versions of Firefox and needs updating:
On the Firefox main menu bar, select 'File' and then select 'Print Edit'. If the main menu bar is not visible, right-click on an empty part of the tab bar and select Menu Bar to show the main menu bar.
Alternatively, right click on the web page contents and on the context menu select 'Print...' and then select 'Print Edit'.
Alternatively, just click on the 'Print Edit' toolbar button. If the 'Print Edit' button is not on the toolbar, right-click on an empty part of the tab bar and select 'Customise...' and then drag the 'Print Edit' button onto the toolbar.
Very good add-on, but images are cropped in Web Style. Puntuado con 5 de 5 estrellas
Images are cropped when you save a page using Web Style.
Also, keep web links when creating a PDF file.
Please, correct these things and your add-on will be perfect!!!
If you print a lot ... Puntuado con 4 de 5 estrellas
... you probably need this. Just the sort of thing for people who want to remove annoying banners or other elements from a page before printing. Only annoyance was that sometimes the selection rectangle didn't work quite as expected.Esta valoración es de una versión anterior del complemento (16.8).

Fantastic Add on Puntuado con 5 de 5 estrellas
This has been my go to addon for creating PDFs in firefox for several years, it works great.
Just a note for the developer, I am setting up a new computer and putting my addons in Firefox. I couldn't find this addon in Firefox addon search when I searched for "PDF" I had to check one of my other computers to get the name of it then searched for it and found it. I know it does a lot of other things but it is a GREAT PDF tool. If you could get it to show up under PDF search you would have even more people using this addon
Broke during Firefox update & developer was helpful to fix Puntuado con 5 de 5 estrellas
In the last week or so this stopped working. When icon clicked I get a box entitled "Print Preview Error" with the message "An error occurred when printing". Using Win7 with same error in Firefox 46 & 47 in Print Edit 16.8
UPDATE: Thanks for your help! This is what I did to solve my problem: I uninstalled Print Edit & disabled the other 3 Add-Ons [Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flashblock]. I restarted Firefox a couple times. Reinstalled Print Edit & it worked fine. Re-enabled each of the other three add-ons one at a time & checked Print Edit. It works as advertised now.
Very, very useful Puntuado con 5 de 5 estrellas
Extremely useful thing when you need it; really a great idea and tool, well implemented. I've never had problems with stability.
Thank you

BROKEN in 46.0.1 Puntuado con 5 de 5 estrellas
I am no longer able to edit any documents using this extension. The problem arose when Firefox updated to 46.0.1. Suggestions?
UPDATE 1: Version 16.8 just arrived in m Firefox update this morning, so your response (below) was very timely. The update has solved the problem. Thanks for all your effort with this extension. Outstanding work.
UPDATE 2: I spoke too soon. I was overly optimistic because it looked like it was going to work, but it is not working. I am using Win10. 'Print' opens a print dialog box. 'Preview' opens a preview. 'Print Edit' does nothing. Clicking on the Print Edit icon on my toolbar does nothing. I am not willing to do a reset without abandoning Firefox altogether. This has become a continuing source of irritation for me with Firefox. I love it, but it it seems to need 'resetting' and falls apart much too often. If we cannot get this working, this might be the thing that finally pushes me to Chrome permanently. Thanks for your help.
Broken PDF "Page Setup" Puntuado con 4 de 5 estrellas
I'm having the same trouble as the previous reviewer. When I check the PDF box, then go to "Page Setup", I can't change any of the settings. My new PDFs have headers on them from an old PDF. If I try to change it or remove it, the "OK" button does not work. Otherwise, great tool.Esta valoración es de una versión anterior del complemento (16.6).

Good for printing html web pages Puntuado con 5 de 5 estrellas
This app works perfectly to convert a web page that instead of printing it, you can save the file as a pdf file. Then, you can easily email it as an attachment in a common format, such as the .pdf. This is very helpful when using web sites that don't automatically convert vouchers, for example, to a saveable format.Esta valoración es de una versión anterior del complemento (16.6).
Great Add-on Puntuado con 5 de 5 estrellas
I love this add-on. it works so well for dealing with problems I find trying to print from firefox.
It also has a PDF checkbox so you can save directly to PDF. I used this instead of my PDF printer. It saves PDFs with a lower file size than my PDF printer, and seems more efficient. Thanks.
P.S. One suggestion would be to give the option to for the PDF checkbox to stay checked by default.
Best Print Application Puntuado con 5 de 5 estrellas
Out of all the applications I ran into this one is by far the best and most workable. I can print on a website I was in dire need or printing on and could not find a way at all. No other applications worked either.Esta valoración es de una versión anterior del complemento (16.5).
Great job! Does excellent work! Puntuado con 5 de 5 estrellas
I was looking for a PDF saving add-on,
couldn't find any decent one.
But this add-on does it so well and quick and provides much more than just saving to PDF.
I would suggest:
It took me a while to find how to "print" to PDF.
Putting it in Preview Print is fine, but I think it should also be in the Print-Edit, as a file type I can "Save", like HTML.
AWESOME Puntuado con 5 de 5 estrellas
this is the best plugin i have installedEsta valoración es de una versión anterior del complemento (16.4).
Excellent! Puntuado con 5 de 5 estrellas
This is the "must have" addon.Esta valoración es de una versión anterior del complemento (16.4).
Good Puntuado con 4 de 5 estrellas
Very useful addon. Some options such as print job title (pdf 'save as' file name control) could be more extensive.
>>Which other options would you like to have available?
For example an optional removal of the added string " - Mozilla Firefox" (as seen in the preview window title to make sure there is room for a longer than 358 character title - when/if an URL is about that lenght, my printer can't cope with the print job name/title), an optional removal of any URL in the preview window as above (and thus the printer job name would be ok no matter how extensive the original site title string is), an optional replacement for "-" that is used for non-valid file name characters, an option to add date/time/custom field data to the preview title/pdf-file as above.
Here is the window title and resulting file name for this page:
"Print Edit -- Add-ons for Firefox - https---addons.mozilla.org-en-US-firefox-addon-print-edit-.pdf" (the URL is added by another addon in this case, in order for password management programs to know what site it is- in this case I would get my Mozilla username and password filled in at the login page by a windows application).
An option for attempting to 'smart parse' the pdf file name (the window title as well, fixing those really long title string problems getting sent to the print queue) to "Print Edit.pdf" would be useful (combined with, say the date option suggested for example would be really nice).
It's minor, but regarding file naming, a check for "-.pdf", where the - before the .extension (or other similar scenario) isn't needed would be neat.
This App is great! Puntuado con 5 de 5 estrellas
I love this App. I save a lot of images and documents from the "Intertubes", but I don't like to save extraneous data from pages to my computer because doing so wastes space on my computer. Print Edit allows me to remove (either by deleting or hiding) every single line, letter, and image I don't want, preview what the saved page or image will look like, and flip back and forth between preview and edit until I get it just right. I've used it for months, maybe a year, without a hitch; it's been entirely reliable. I can't say that about many Apps. Two thumbs up for Print Edit!Esta valoración es de una versión anterior del complemento (16.4).

CHICAGO—Commercial real estate broker John Moysey has been hired effective immediately by Avison Young as a principal for its Chicago office. He will focus on real estate brokerage and advisory services in the office, industrial and land asset sectors and work with a diverse client base, including corporations and institutional investors. Moysey was most recently a founding member and principal of V3 Realty Company, LLC and president of V3 Realty Brokerage, Ltd. in Chicago.
"John Moysey is one of the most knowledgeable brokers in the industry," says Michael McKiernan, Avison Young principal and managing director of the company's Chicago office. "His experience in office and industrial brokerage coupled with his expertise in land make him a unique professional – and a vital asset to Avison Young as we strive to offer clients the highest level of service and continue our aggressive U.S. expansion program."
Moysey has been in the commercial real estate business for 36 years and represented clients in office and industrial lease transactions, acquisitions, dispositions, site acquisition and sales, development and management, and operations with profit and loss responsibility. He has been involved in more than 3 million-square-feet of office and industrial development and sale assignments. Furthermore, he has personally negotiated leasing agreements totaling more than 3 million-square-feet and land acquisitions covering more than 5,000 acres.
Leasing assignments during his career have involved such buildings as 33 West Monroe, Inland Steel, Hartford Plaza and Northwest Commerce Plaza. Property development clients, represented either on a build-to-suit or speculative-construction basis, have included National Safety Council, Abbot Laboratories, Baxter, Leaf, Inc., Nuclear Data, Knowles Electronics, Capital Square, Spring Lake Executive Campus and V3 Corporate Center.
Before moving to V3 Realty Company in 1998, Moysey served as an executive vice president and Chicago regional manager for Grubb & Ellis. In the 11 years prior to joining Grubb, he was an executive vice president and board member at AMLI Realty Company. He helped create and grow the firm's commercial properties division, which developed several million-square-feet of office and industrial properties and five business parks, and acquired and controlled more than 4,300 acres of land.

'Batman v Superman Ultimate Edition' review: Added footage can't help ambitious DC film
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is now even longer, by a staggering 30 minutes and 53 seconds.
Postmedia Network
Bruce Kirkland has been a reporter with Sun Media for 31 years. He has worked the movies beat from 1980-2007, and still focuses on TIFF, Cannes, Oscars. Before taking a position at the Toronto Sun, he worked at the Ottawa Journal as entertainment editor and movie critic from 1979-80, and at Toronto Star as music critic and general-assignment news reporter from 1971-79.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is now even longer, by a staggering 30 minutes and 53 seconds.
The ebb and flow of box office for Hollywood movies is stunning this year. Records are being set one weekend; then big-budget movies that are supposed to crush it the next weekend are in crash-and-burn mode.
Alexander Skarsgard, a lanky Swede who fanged his way into fame as a ruthless Viking vampire on True Blood, plays the title character in The Legend of Tarzan.
The Legend of Tarzan, the latest in a long line of ape-man fantasy tales, is obviously a big Hollywood blockbuster.
Steven Spielberg, now the most spectacularly successful director in Hollywood history, continues to both intrigue and to perplex people, including this critic.
Canadian comic actor Eugene Levy is up Schitt's Creek, with plenty of paddles at his disposal, so he could not be happier about the fate of his latest television series.
Eugene Levy, already delighted with how his Canadian TV series Schitt's Creek is expanding into the American market, is now part of a Hollywood hit movie. Finding Dory is number one at the box-office in the U.S. and Canada.
With a staggering $135 million in the coffers, Finding Dory set new records last weekend for the opening of an animated film in the U.S. and Canada. That also means audiences are also buzzing happily about Piper, the Pixar short that proceeds Dory.
The superb Disney animation Zootopia just debuted on home entertainment this month, still as fresh, funny and relevant as it was when it was released in March.
Ellen DeGeneres is poignantly serious and slyly funny about her voice role as Dory in the Pixar animation, Finding Dory.
Elliott, the giant dragon in the new version of the kids' adventure film Pete's Dragon, is not just fantastical and not just green. He is gentle and lovable as well as fuzzy and furry.
Zootopia, one the great movies of 2016, just crossed over the magic $1 billion mark in worldwide box office. This politically poignant, funny and super-smart Disney animation joins the latest Marvel juggernaut, Captain America: Civil War, as the only members of the elite billion-dollar club so far this year.
Emilia Clarke is a 29-year-old English actress who is best known for playing the television world's most popular platinum blonde, warrior princess Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones.
From two Muppet movies to more adventures with Alice in Wonderland and then on to a mad mashup of the Men in Black and Jump Street franchises: James Bobin is taking an unusual journey as he segues from British television to Hollywood filmmaking.
The summer of 2016 is already helping Hollywood set box office records for the year. Without quibbling about inflation and other financial matters, the returns do indicate that audiences still want to see their summer blockbusters in theatres — for the spectacle!
When the fantasy fairytale Alice Through the Looking Glass opens May 27, it will debut with huge expectations mixed with storm clouds of doubt.
It should come as no surprise when (not if) current rumours prove to be true: That grim-faced Daniel Craig has permanently soured on playing James Bond. And that a staggering offer of $130 million for a new two-movie commitment will not change his mind.
Writing movies is torture for Shane Black. Directing them is salvation, despite the physical and mental toll it always takes. So the 54-year-old filmmaker tackled The Nice Guys — an action-crime comedy co-starring Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe — with giddy enthusiasm.
Russell Crowe has "a reputation." It was generated by rare lapses in judgment combined with momentary flashes of bad temper.
Exactly 30 years ago, on May 16, 1986, Tony Scott's Top Gun roared into theatres in the U.S. and Canada.
Upstart Australian actress Margot Robbie is riding a crest of fame that takes her from fresh-faced heroine of the jungle to psycho serial killer armed with a baseball bat.
LOS ANGELES — Millions of hardcore comic book fans railed against casting Ben Affleck as the new Batman in the superhero movie, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Zootopia, the latest family film from Walt Disney Animation Studios, is expected to be a huge hit after opening this weekend.
As a feisty kid of 11, Kurt Russell kicked Elvis Presley in the shins 53 years ago during his uncredited cameo in The King's crop-duster pilot movie, It Happened at the World's Fair.
In Quentin Tarantino's new film, a raging, vengeful, violent and often hilarious western called The Hateful Eight, Jennifer Jason Leigh aces her role as Daisy Domergue.
Harrison Ford has offered no meaningful advice to his young co-stars in Star Wars: The Force Awakens because everyone's burst into stardom is so different.
Stop-action animation is used widely in film-making, 117 years after the pioneers of this unique technique brought miniature acrobats and animals to life in The Humpty Dumpty Circus, 72 years after Willis O'Brien amazed the world by animating the original King Kong and 31 years after James Cameron hired Stan Winston to create the metal exoskeleton that refuses to die in The Terminator.
Some of the members of the Cooper clan are interesting enough, and the movie's tearjerking heart is in the right place, but Love the Coopers is a horrible mess.
Bryce Dallas Howard has a big booming voice, a big warm heart and a wild-eyed enthusiasm for the Jurassic Park franchise.
Filmmaker Steven Spielberg and his actor pal Tom Hanks set out to tell "the truth" in Bridge of Spies, a drama inspired by a true-life story from the infamous Cold War tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union during the 1950s and '60s.
Black Mass opens across Canada and the United States on Friday, loaded with built-in controversy over whether it tells the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, about notorious Boston gangster James (Whitey) Bulger.
Shia LaBeouf instantly said yes to playing the troubled protagonist in his pal Dito Montiel's new film, Man Down, which is being hyped as a post-apocalyptic war thriller. But not because of the war action or his character's past experience as a U.S. Marine.
While playing the ruthless Boston gangster James (Whitey) Bulger in the violent drama Black Mass, Johnny Depp councils his young son on how to punch a bully in the face — while no one else is watching, to avoid consequences.
American actress Brie Larson is earning raves for her performance in Room, an Irish-Canadian co-production playing at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Johnny Depp was determined to play the real-life Boston gangster James (Whitey) Bulger as a complete human being in the crime thriller Black Mass, and not just as a Hollywood-style criminal.
A film festival is a treasure chest waiting to be discovered and opened. Here are three titles of interest for Sunday, Sept. 13.
As a Hollywood celebrity, Sandra Bullock has seen her tumultuous private life paraded in the media as public entertainment. Through it all, the 51-year-old Virginian has maintained a remarkably healthy sense of humour and shown herself to be responsible, sensible and quick to crack a joke.
The 40th edition of TIFF was launched on Thursday with an emotional masterpiece, Jean-Marc Vallee's Demolition. Electrified by that experience, we are now hunting for other cinematic treasures. Here are three titles of interest for Saturday, Sept. 12.
It was child's play for Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain and Kate Mara to float in zero gravity while making their space thriller The Martian — or, at least, to pretend to for the purposes of the illusion. But that does not mean it was easy.
Growing up in Los Angeles as the son of filmmakers, Jake Gyllenhaal coincidentally prepared himself for his new adult-themed film, Demolition, by protesting the 1990s demise of Chicken Littles from the main menu at Kentucky Fried Chicken outlets.
Surprise! While The Legend of Tarzan is hardly going to become legendary, it is strong entertainment with an interesting socio-political background.
If good intentions and lofty ambitions were the only ingredients of great filmmaking, Free State of Jones would be a classic. Unfortunately for earnest writer-director Gary Ross (The Hunger Games), and anyone watching his epic-length historical drama, it lacks everything else needed to escape mediocrity.
Central Intelligence, a Hollywood comedy romp that is as stupid as a bag of rocks, is a perfect example of a guilty pleasure.
Finding Dory is delightful throughout, dazzling during its many highlight scenes and just a tad disorienting on rare occasions.
Me Before You is an old-fashioned, tear-jerking melodrama that plays without even a flash of cynicism.
Alice, of Alice in Wonderland fame, is dead to me now. Alice Through the Looking Glass has killed her off as a viable character for a movie.
Everyone old is new again in the world of Hollywood maverick Shane Black. His latest release as a writer-director is The Nice Guys, a wicked crime comedy featuring Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe.
Money Monster, with Jodie Foster directing and George Clooney producing and starring, is a satire and critique of Wall Street and the moral bankruptcy of the American Dream.
All at once, X-Men: Apocalypse is an ending, a new beginning and a dynamic superhero origins story.
Superheroes battling superheroes: Batman v Superman: The Dawn of Justice did it first this summer. But Captain America: Civil War does it better!
Precious Cargo is a worthless movie.
The Huntsman: Winter's War is as beautiful as its macho lead actor Chris Hemsworth is handsome.
The science fiction-ish twist in the spy thriller Criminal is ludicrous.
As politically savvy as it is raucous and funny, Barbershop: The Next Cut is a stylish cut above its predecessors.
Walt Disney Studios' splendid new version of The Jungle Book is utterly charming, absolutely gorgeous and perhaps too terrifying for the youngest and most impressionable children.
The relentless action flick Hardcore Henry is totally nuts and a lot of fun for freaks.
This is frustrating: Half of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is brilliant. Unfortunately, the other half of Zack Snyder's epic-length superhero movie is so bloated that it blunts the effect of the good stuff.
Spike Lee's latest Joint — the anti-gun 'n' gangs satire Chi-Raq — is never subtle, always strident and absolutely necessary.
Zootopia brings out the savage in me … and will do the same to anyone of any age who delights in seeing this gorgeous new film from Walt Disney Animation Studios.
Zoolander No. 2 is a James Bond flick with a frontal lobotomy, a brain-damaging procedure that renders Ben Stiller's oddball movie into an incoherent and idiotic mess.

About L.L. Bean
If you're planning a hike, camping trip, or any other outdoor adventure, grab an L.L. Bean coupon to get durable gear at a discounted price. Hiking boots and protective outerwear are specialties of this time-honored retailer, as are backpacks, tents, and supplies for sports including archery, biking, and fly-fishing. Even if you're not planning an outdoorsy trip, you're sure to find something you love in L.L. Bean's collection of men's, women's, and children's apparel: options range from knit tops, polos, and cardigans to flattering swimwear and comfy robes. Whichever route you choose, be sure to copy down an L.L. Bean promo code for special savings.
An avid outdoorsman in the early 1900s, L.L.Bean founder Leon Leonwood Bean would be proud to know that his store still sells outdoor apparel for hunters, fisherman, and adventurers of all kinds. Being a family man, he would likely beam at the store's seasonal selection of clothing for men, women, and children. Beyond apparel, Mr. Bean would be glad to see the store keeping up with today's space-age technology, even offering a selection of rugged GPS units, or as Bean would know them, magic electro-maps. He'd be especially proud to know that today, L.L.Bean introduces people to the joys of activities such as archery and sea kayaking through affordable outdoor education programs.
When Leon Leonwood Bean first opened his business, he sold just one product: the Maine Hunting Shoe. Hunters prized these durable, waterproof boots, which protected their feet as they tracked deer or lay in wait for waterfowl. Hunters weren't the only ones who prized the boots, however. L.L. Bean's sturdy footwear also protected American soldiers' feet during World War II. Today, L.L. Bean continues to handcraft these iconic boots, and they can be yours for a discounted price thanks to Groupon Freebies' L.L. Bean coupons.
Need some new duds or a pair of hiking boots for trekking through a family member's messy room? Don't forget to browse these L.L. Bean coupons for an extra discount.

Summer on the East coast means that the sun rises even earlier … sunrise by about 5:15 and broad daylight by 6 … pack up and go home by 6:30 AM
Funny how difficult it is to get up when I'm not heading out with the cam!!

The instant invention relates to magnesite-carbon refractory mixes for forming refractory shapes, particularly brick, utilizing a metallic additive.
Carbon-containing refractory brick have long been in use in metallurgical vessels where the lining is subject to slag attack and where high hot strength and high slag resistance of the refractories are desired and required. Improvements havebeen made in such brick in which carbonaceous material such as pitch, tar and the like which were used to form the bond of the magnesite-carbon brick have been replaced with flake or vein graphite.
While this has resulted in improvements, it was found that loss of carbon in the brick was a factor which limited service life. It was noted that the addition of metals such as aluminum, silicon, magnesium, and alloys thereof increased hotstrength and oxidation resistance by forming carbides, lowering the permeability of the brick by spinel formation, and by consuming oxygen that would otherwise have oxidized carbon.
However, the addition of these metals has had in and of itself a number of well known undesirable effects, one of them being the troublesome problem of explosive dust cloud formation which can occur with the use of the metallic powders. In someinstances, companies specify, for safety purposes that the metal powders have a maximum of 5% of -100 mesh content. Thus, it has been known to utilize coarse metal powders or metal alloys; that is, those having a particle size larger than 100 mesh. While eliminating the problem of explosion, this has resulted in refractory shapes such as brick that contain magnesium having undesirably high thermal expansion and static modulus of elasticity. Use of such brick in metallurgical vessels such as aBasic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) has resulted in excessive spalling and cracking of the brick caused by thermal stresses which arise when the constrained brick are heated to operating temperatures.
The instant invention overcomes the problems of prior art magnesium-containing MgO-C brick and provides refractory mixes which can be formed into refractory shapes without the risk of an explosion during processing while also having low thermalexpansion, low static modulus of elasticity, and high 2000.degree. F. modulus of rupture. The consequence of the positive improvement in all three of the aforementioned properties is an improved thermal stress tolerance for a magnesite carbonrefractory.
Briefly stated, the present invention comprises a magnesite-carbon refractory mix for forming refractory shapes comprising magnesite, graphite and a fine particle size metallic additive consisting essentially of a magnesium-aluminum alloyco-milled with magnesite.
The invention also comprises the refractory shapes, particularly brick, formed from such mixes which have lower thermal expansion than conventional magnesium-containing MgO-C brick and refractory linings formed using such shapes, which duringheat-up create less stress while also having the added ability to tolerate higher stress levels than a conventional magnesite-carbon lining.
FIG. 1 is a graph showing the thermal expansion of the brick of Examples 1 to 3, and
FIG. 2 is a graph showing the thermal expansion of the brick of Examples 12 and 13.
The term "magnesite-carbon brick" is used herein as generally defined in the metallurgical and refractory industries; namely, brick that contain graphite in combination with a magnesite such as deadburned magnesite and the like, with the brickcontaining in excess of about 5% by wt. carbon.
The magnesite used in the subject brick is most suitably deadburned or fused magnesite, preferably one containing at least 97 wt. % MgO, most preferably at least 98 wt. % MgO. Although lower levels of MgO content are still operative, themagnesite should have a purity of at least 90% MgO.
As to the graphite, it is preferably flake graphite, although vein graphite can also be utilized. It's sizing and purity are not critical in this invention, but should be that conventionally used in MgO-C brick making.
These two components are utilized in the usual proportions forming mixes to be made into brick, ordinarily about 70 to 95 wt. % magnesite and, correspondingly, 5 to 30 wt. % graphite. Magnesite, as is noted, is the major component of the mixwith the only other essential component being the metallic additive of the instant invention.
Such metallic additive is preferably a magnesium-aluminum alloy co-milled with magnesite. It may be possible to use discrete additions of magnesium and aluminum metal co-milled with the magnesite to the fine size desired. For safety and reasonsof economy, it is preferred to use a magnesium-aluminum alloy and preferably one that is a 50/50 admixture of the metals, although various ratios of magnesium to aluminum may be employed. It is envisioned that other metals or metal alloys, such assilicon and boron, or mixtures thereof, may be co-milled with magnesite to improve the thermal stress tolerance of the resultant refractory.
As to the magnesite co-milled therewith, it is preferred that the total additive comprise at least 60 wt. % of the magnesite with the balance being the alloy, although from 40 to 80 wt. % of magnesite can be utilized with the balance being thealloy. The same magnesites as discussed above can be used although it is preferred to use a magnesite containing at least 95 wt. % MgO. Of critical importance is the fact that the milling must be such to give a resultant particle size which impartsimproved thermal stress tolerance to the refractory. The particle size of the co-milled powder is 100% -28 mesh with there being greater than 5% -100 mesh. Preferably, the co-milled metallic additive has at least about 80% -200 mesh and most preferablyone in which the particle size of the metallic additive is at least about 50% -325 mesh. All mesh sizes discussed herein are Tyler mesh sizes. It has been found that the utilization thereof results in mixes which can be formed into brick havingunusually low thermal expansion for magnesium-containing MgO-C brick.
As is conventional in making magnesite-carbon brick, it is necessary also to include in the mix a carbonaceous bonding agent, examples of which are novolak or resol resins. The amount added is ordinarily about 1.5 to 6% by wt. based on 100 wt. %of the mix.
Other than the fact that it is essential to co-mill the metals and the magnesite in forming the metallic additive, the method of forming the brick is not critical in that the components noted are simply thoroughly admixed, pressed into shape inthe usual brick-making presses and then cured at the usual temperatures; namely, about 250.degree. to 500.degree. F. to form the cured but unburned brick which can then be used as linings in metallurgical vessels. When placed into metallurgicalvessels as a lining, the bricks become exposed to the high temperatures in such furnaces and form carbon-bonded brick of high hot strength, improved slag resistance, and most importantly of lower thermal expansion.
The invention will be further described in connection with the following examples which are set forth for purposes of illustration only.
Three different mixes were made whose formulations, in wt. %, are set forth in Table I below. Only the mix of Example 2 is in accord with the present invention. The co-milled metallic additive contains 3 parts by weight magnesite (.about.97 wt.% MgO) and 1 part by weight 50-50 Mg-Al alloy. Use of 12 wt. % of the alloy gives the mix a resultant metal content of 3 wt. %.

The brick of Example 2 had a significantly lower linear thermal expansion and permanent linear change as compared to the brick of Examples 1 and 3 (see FIG. 1).
FIG. 1 shows that brick of Example 2 did not show a rapid increase in expansion between 1000.degree. to 1250.degree. F. as did brick containing discrete or alloyed metallics without being co-milled with magnesite. The sharp rise in thermalexpansion between 1000.degree.-1250.degree. F. is believed to be very detrimental to brick constrained in a furnace lining.
A series of eight mixes having the formulations shown in Table III below were prepared and formed into brick as set forth in Examples 1 to 3, all proportions being in wt. %.

Comparing the brick of Examples 4, 5 and 6 to those of Examples 7 to 11 again, the brick made utilizing the co-milled metallic additive had lower linear thermal expansion, lower permanent linear change, lower static modulus of elasticity (MOE)at2000.degree. F., higher crushing strength at 2000.degree. F., and a higher thermal stress ratio* which is desirable. The thermal stress ratio is determined by the following formula: ##EQU1##
Two mixes based upon use of higher purity raw materials were made and their formulations in wt. % are set forth in Table V below. Example 12 contains aluminum metal plus a coarse metal alloy. Example 13 also contains aluminum powder andco-milled powder used in the prior examples. This imparts into the mix of Example 13 2% Mg/Al metal, so it is a direct comparison to the mix shown in Example 12. The mixes were formed into brick as previously described and the brick were tested as setforth in Table VI below.
A review of this data indicates the same trend as seen in the prior examples. The mix with the co-milled alloy and magnesite had lower apparent porosity, higher crushing strength at 2000.degree. F. and lower thermal expansion (see FIG. 2), thana similar mix with the same metal content, but without the co-milled magnesite. The thermal stress ratio of Example 13 showed a 13% improvement over the thermal stress ratio of Example 12.

Lily: I think every script I read has something that sends me into a state of panic but that usually makes me want to do it.
Lily: All I really want to do is someday be in a western. If I could be on a horse with a rifle, I would be a really happy camper.
Lily: When I was teeny tiny, I definitely had a voice that didn't quite match the way I looked at five.
Lily: Before I ever start a job that I'm really excited about, I usually have some sleepless nights or weeks or months. But that anticipation for a person like me... I don't do so well with a lot of time off.
Lily: I will say that I've been lucky enough never to have to do a job I didn't want to do, or a play I wasn't in love with.
Lily: I did have wonderful things to draw from, from my own experience and also just from friends and people I'd gone to school with who were very much immersed in this world right now.
Lily: I can't actually think of a job where I was relaxed the whole time. I don't think I would want to do that job. When I break into a cold sweat when I'm reading, I think, 'Oh good. That's what's supposed to be happening.'
Lily: Listen, a cable series is a beautiful thing because there's such amazing writing happening on television, and it's a schedule that allows you to do a play or two. There's a reason everybody wants that job!
Lily: It's sort of scary to work with your parents when you're in the same business. But there was something so very safe about that. Acting with her was just like working with a wonderful actress who just happens to be my best friend and also my mother.
Lily: It's very hard when you're doing a new play that you believe in, and you want to tell the story in the best way possible.

In Central Europe, medieval and early modern burials sometimes contain iron sickles placed on the body or in direct contact with the deceased. Previous interpretations have considered them as markers of social status or occupation, or as magical and apotropaic. Detailed analysis of sickle burials from a cemetery at Drawsko in Poland leads to a discussion of demonology beliefs, dual faith and a resurgence in paganism following the Counter-Reformation. The results illustrate how the sickle might have served as an indicator of social identity, the nature of the individual's death and the way the deceased was perceived within their community.

2006 GMC Envoy XL SUV Denali 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
We purchased ours 3 years ago so it was 4 years old when we got it.It was GM certified and one owner with about 45,000 miles.We've put on about 40,000 miles.it has been mostly trouble free except for the rear air suspension failed early on.This was covered under the GM Certified warranty so that was a relief.Performance and power is decent with the standard 5.3L V-8.One other problem was excess oil consumption, which was due to a faulty valve cover design.This was replaced at our expense by the local GM dealer.
Options and space with seating for 7.
V-8 power is great for a vehicle this size and weight.
No improvement suggestions as the Envoy has been discontinued.
unfortunately, the mid-size full frame truck based SUV segment has been eliminated by GM in favor of the car based "cross overs" like the Acadia.
I cringe when I learn friends have purchased a used GMC Envoy.I feel like I should just 'scream' to let them know how much money they will be spending for stupidness.The first brand new vechile I ever purchased.I can't begin to tell you the amount of money I have spent on it.A lemon it is.Stupid things go wrong that should not go wrong.Stablity track 6 times needs to be fixed.Window motor...3x'sNow the ignition switch went...my fuse box gets so hot my kid in the back can smell it. Light bulbs blow every 2 months.Oil gauge went, fuel gauge went.All and all, I spent over 6,000 in repairs since I bought it.Does GMC care?I highly doubt it.Would I purchse another...NOPE!
Love the handling, love the comfort, love the vechile.
Only has 76,000 miles on it.
Have GMC own up to their mistake.
Either replace the electrical in the vechile or contact the orginal owners and MAKE IT RIGHT.
No one should be dealing with this amount of repairs on a $50.000 vechile.
I can put up with the crappy gas mileage, I can NOT put up with the fact ownership is not taken for faulty items that people are having.
Recall...yeah, okay...got my letter in the fall...still have yet to have it fixed.
Still waiting for the part?
I only hope that a person or family in not in that vechile when the electrical goes on the highway.
This is my 5th SUV and by far this one has been the best. I have owned a few Jeeps, a Pacifica, and most recently an Acura MDX and this one by far has been the best one. The ride has been much better than all of them, the interior design has been the best as well. It is bigger than all of them but not too big. Lot's of cargo space when 3rd row is up. Mecahnically the MDX was by far the worst with the 4X4 going out and the transmission. The Envoy mechanically has been great. The only issue we have had with it is one of the power windows but that was covered by the extended warranty we bought from National Vehicle Headquarters. We think we will keep this to 150,000 miles at least!!!!!
The interior design, DVD system for the kids, the curb view mirrors living in the city is a huge bonus. the leg room for the thrid row of seats, the cargo capacity when the third row of seats is up.
Better gas mileage would be great, but with a V8 of this size what can you expect. We have been averaging close to the same as our MDX so we are still pleased.
Within two weeks of buying, the vehicle was backfiring on engine start up. Electronic control module had to be replaced. At same time, engine was producing blue smoke on start up...entire engine had to be replaced. Since then, load balancers went out of whack and had to be fixed, ECM had to be replaced again, Heat and cooling module had to be replaced, signal light indicator in display panel has failed, rear hatch lock assembly had to be repaired, and now I'm dealing with engine ticking and loss of power that service bulletin is attributing to a lifter problem. Seems like this latter problem should be a GMC recall vice just service bulletin notice.
Recall the vehicles and get these more than isolated problems corrected at gm expense. Might prevent folks like me from thinking "let's go foreign made again. Have demonstrated to be more reliable."
2006 GMC Envoy XL SUV Denali 4dr SUV (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
I have own this vehicle since new since the end of 2005 and it has been great. I have never had a problem, it drives and handles well. It is a Denali, so is loaded and very comfortable with leather interior and power and heated seats. It does not have the best mileage but for the size I think it does pretty well. On the highway handles well and give a lot better mileage at 22 mpg. I have no complaints but just praise about the vehicle and is a keeper in my book.
The way it drives and handles and comfortable style.

Kamala Decides Whether to Side with Her Hero in 'Ms. Marvel' #8 [Preview]
Kamala Khan is going to have to take sides in Civil War II. In fact, I keep hearing that everyone is. The crossover is coming to Ms. Marvel's doorstep with issue #8 of her current series. The "Civil War Reenactiment" variant cover pretty clearly positions her as the Spider-Man of this version (meaning the initially naive character who switches sides), although the scene of her unmasking is presumably just a reference to that, and not something that will happen this time around.

So its a microcosm of media at a faster rate. Its crazy I saw chain smoker of facebook, say that E-cigs cutting profits of cig companies saying that is why our economie is bad because their profits are being cut by e-cigs. The common man is getting dumber and dumber.

ESPN SportsTravel resurrects its Power Weekend: Special Edition with a look ahead at a full season of college and pro basketball on weekends where you can catch a handful of games in the same area. (And it's not too late to catch a few of our football offerings either.)
Be ready to rally, too. While there are relatively few hoops games played on Sundays, Saturdays are packed from early afternoon to late evening. For the traveling basketball fan, that means doubleheaders. Lots of doubleheaders. So lace up the Chuck T's, put some gas in the tank and get ready to hit the hardcourt running.
All times local.
Fri., Dec. 1 (7 p.m.): Bucks at Suns
A revamped Milwaukee lineup anchored by All-Star sharpshooter Michael Redd will attempt to slow down reigning two-time MVP Steve Nash and the run-and-gun Suns on their home floor.
Driving distance: 0 miles
Sat., Dec. 2 (1 p.m.): Hall of Fame Challenge (Phoenix)
Also at U.S. Airways Arena in Phoenix, four dominant college hoops programs headline this annual fundraiser for the Basketball Hall of Fame. The afternoon doubleheader begins with Texas taking on Gonzaga in the opener, followed by local favorite Arizona hosting Illinois.
Sat., Dec. 2 (Noon): Kentucky at North Carolina (Chapel Hill, N.C.)
A Carolina-Duke swing is, unquestionably, the ultimate college basketball road trip. Start your day in the building where everything is painted in that heavenly hue known as Carolina blue, the Dean E. Smith Center, a.k.a. the Dean Dome, as the two all-time winningest basketball programs square off.
Driving distance: 11 miles
Sat., Dec. 2 (7 p.m.): Georgetown at Duke (Durham, N.C.)
Hop on route 15-501 and just a few miles down the road you'll arrive at Krzyzewskiville, the tent city outside the Gothic cathedral of college basketball known as Cameron Indoor Stadium. Join the Cameron Crazies for a good interconference matchup against the Hoyas. Head back to Franklin St. in Chapel Hill for postgame fun -- and Sunday brunch at Crook's Corner before you skip town.
Sat., Dec. 2 (2 p.m.): Drexel at St. Joseph's
A must-see venue for any true college hoopshead, the University of Pennsylvania's iconic Palestra -- opened in 1927 and the site of the first NCAA Championship in 1939 -- hosts this intra-city standoff between St. Joe's and Big 5 wanna-be Drexel, the first game in a day-night doubleheader.
Driving distance: 0 miles
Sat., Dec. 2 (7 p.m.): Villanova at Penn
Head out for a between-game stretch and a cheesesteak, then return to the Palestra for the nightcap as Big East power Villanova takes on perennial Ivy champ Penn. 'Nova is looking to avoid a letdown season after stars Randy Foye and Kyle Lowry got nabbed in the first round of the NBA Draft.
Driving distance: 6 miles
Sun., Dec. 3 (6 p.m.): Timberwolves at 76ers
With shaky supporting casts on both sides, former league MVPs Allen Iverson and Kevin Garnett will put on a show in South Philly at the Wachovia Center. AI may have turned 31 years old over the summer, but he's still barely lost a step on his blink-and-you'll-miss-it drives to the hoop.
Fri., Dec. 29 (7:30 p.m.): Kings at Clippers
The "other" tenant at Staples Center has new life after winning its first playoff series since moving to California in 1978. Enjoy this Pacific Division matchup vs. Sacramento, who have a new coach (Eric Musselman) and surprisingly infectious defensive toughness (thanks to Ron Artest).
Driving distance: 13 miles
Sun., Dec. 31 (2 p.m.): Washington at UCLA
Start this Saturday doubleheader at Pauley Pavilion with a matchup of the Bruins and Huskies, who figured to contend for the Pac-10 title, along with Arizona, after finishing 1-2 in '06. Be ready to hightail it from Westwood back downtown postgame, as this is L.A., and 13 miles on the roads can be a lifetime.
Driving distance: 13 miles
Sun., Dec. 31 (6:30 p.m.): 76ers at Lakers
Despite mediocre showings recently, the Lakers remain the marquee team in the NBA -- and in L.A. Headlining this game is a matchup of last season's top two individual scorers -- Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson. The 6:30 start allows plenty of time for you to hit the Sunset Strip postgame for New Year's festivities.
Sat., Jan. 13 (3 p.m.): Hope at Calvin (Grand Rapids, Mich.)
Join 4,500 fans packed into Knollcrest Fieldhouse to watch these two Division III powers renew acquaintances in what is without question the fiercest small-college basketball rivalry in America. After Hope knocked off the Knights 70-67 in last year's NCAA Tournament, Calvin now holds an 81-80 series edge -- with just 22 points separating the teams all-time!
Driving distance: 65 miles
Sun., Jan. 14 (TBD): Illinois at Michigan State (E. Lansing, Mich.)
Enter the "Izzone" at the Breslin Center and join one of the loudest crowds in college hoops, as these two NCAA Tournament contenders and perennial Big Ten powers square off.
Driving distance: 80 miles
Mon., Jan. 15 (3:30 p.m.): Timberwolves at Pistons
Close out the Martin Luther King weekend with a holiday matinee at The Palace. Pistons coach Flip Saunders hosts his former team.
Sat., Jan. 27 (12 p.m.): Michigan at Indiana (Bloomington, Ind.)
A tour of three of the more storied NCAA basketball arenas begins at Assembly Hall as
2006 NIT Tournament runner-up Michigan, finally poised for a return to the Big Dance, meets promising Indiana in a midseason Big Ten matchup that will provide a good barometer of where the Wolverines' veteran group stands.
Driving distance: 105 miles
Sat., Jan. 27 (7 p.m.): Syracuse at Louisville
It's on to Freedom Hall for a Big East nightcap as Rick Pitino's young and talented Cardinals host Jim Boeheim's Orangemen, who have four starters returning.
Driving distance: 73 miles
Sun., Jan. 28 (1 p.m.): Tennessee at Kentucky (Lexington, Ky.)
Finish off this classic tour by entering the realm of the Big Blue at Rupp Arena, where you'll see your third major-conference matchups in two days. This time it's the SEC on display as Ashley Judd's boys from Kentucky host defending East division champs Tennessee.
Fri., Feb. 2 (7 p.m.): Timberwolves at Hornets (Oklahoma City)
Chris Paul wasn't the only rookie who took the NBA by storm in 2005-06, as the Ford Center in Oklahoma City quickly developed a reputation as one of the league's most raucous atmospheres in its first season standing in for New Orleans as the home of the Hornets.
Driving distance: 316 miles
Sat., Feb. 3 (8 p.m.): Texas A&M at Kansas (Lawrence, Kan.)
You could make the easy trip 20 miles outside OKC to Norman, where Oklahoma hosts Texas Tech. But, let's face it, if you're making this trip, you are a true hoops junkie, and need to make the five-hour drive up I-35 to legendary Allen Fieldhouse. Matchup ain't bad, either, as the Jayhawks and the Aggies are expected to be the Big 12's best.
Sat., Feb. 10 (12:15 p.m.): Purdue at Ohio State (Columbus)
Ohio State's uber-prospect freshman Greg Oden should be back from his wrist injury by this point and showcasing the size and talent that's had NBA scouts frothing at the mouth for years. Even without Oden, though, the Buckeyes have been tabbed as a contender in the Big Ten.
Driving distance: 142 miles
Sun., Feb. 11 (3:30 p.m.): Lakers at Cavaliers
LeBron. Kobe. Right, what this game needs is more hype.
Sat., Feb. 10 (12 p.m.): Marquette at Georgetown
This important late-season Big East showdown at the MCI Center could be a matchup nightmare for both teams, with Marquette showcasing a bevy of quick, athletic guards and Georgetown loading the frontcourt with returning stars Jeff Green and Roy Hibbert.
Driving distance: 0 miles
Sun., Feb. 11 (1 p.m.): Blazers at Wizards
Chasing their third straight playoff berth, a feat they haven't accomplished since the '80s, All-Star Gilbert Arenas and the Wizards welcome the Blazers with vengeance in their hearts. Washington lost to the reigning NBA bottom-feeders in their last meeting.
Driving distance: 9 miles
Sun., Feb. 11 (5 p.m.): Duke at Maryland (College Park, Md.)
D.C. generally favors the college game over the pros, so leave MCI early if you have to in order to get to the Comcast Center for this ACC rivalry (You can take the Metro's Green Line straight from MCI to College Park, and hop on a shuttle bus). The Terps fans are sure to be at their rowdiest as they host the team that everyone loves to hate.
Fri., Feb. 23 (7 p.m.): Sonics at Hornets (New Orleans)
One of six home games the Hornets will play at the New Orleans Arena this season, this game features one team which currently resides in Oklahoma City against one which is rumored to be trying to move there. For now, just enjoy the Big Easy.
Driving distance: 80 miles
Sun., Feb. 24 (2:45 p.m.): Florida at LSU (Baton Rouge)
Take I-10 to the Maravich Center for a titanic SEC matchup between two 2006 Final Four teams that figure to be knocking on the door again this season. Joakim Noah leads the defending champs, while Glen "Big Baby" Davis is back to anchor the Bayou Bengals.
Fri., Feb. 23 (7:30 p.m.): Bucks at Knicks
Despite the monumental struggles of the Knicks recently, Madison Square Garden remains the "World's Most Famous Arena," and is still worth a trip even if it remains to be seen if new Knicks coach Isiah Thomas can turn around the high-priced group of underachievers he's assembled during his tenure as GM.
Driving distance: 0 miles
Sun., Feb. 25 (2 p.m.): Duke at St. John's
The Knicks aren't the only once-proud Garden hoop team to have fallen on hard times as St. John's is in its second year of probation for giving money to a former player, and isn't expected to do much. Duke -- known in some quarters as the University of New Jersey at Durham -- may well be as much of a home team as the Johnnies in this one.
Driving distance: 10 miles
Sun., Feb. 25 (6 p.m.): Knicks at Nets (East Rutherford, N.J.)
If you hustle from the Garden (34th St.) up to Port Authority (42nd St.), you should be able to catch a bus that'll take you through the Lincoln Tunnel to the Meadowlands in Jersey for the Battle of the Hudson. With J-Kidd, Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson back, the Nets are clearly the most exciting team in the metropolitan area.
Fri., Mar. 2 (8 p.m.): Pistons at Heat
It's a rematch of last season's Eastern Conference finals at the American Airlines Arena, but with Detroit coming to town sans the departed Ben Wallace, it may not be quite the level of competition it was a year ago. Still, the Pistons who remain will be eager to take the defending champs down.
Driving distance: 337 miles
Sun., Mar. 4 (Noon): Kentucky at Florida
You know, you could catch the Florida State-Miami game on Saturday, but of course, it's basketball season, not football, so go ahead and begin the long trip north to Gainesville, maybe roll past Disney World on the way. Just get yourself to the "O-Dome" in time to see the defending NCAA champions, who return their entire starting five and are the favorites to win it all again.
Sat., Mar. 3 (TBD): UCLA at Washington
Who knows, with all of the uncertainty swirling around the Sonics, this could be the last chance for a college-pro hoops double-dip in Seattle. Start it out with a Saturday matchup between two Pac-10 contenders at Bank of America Arena on the final day of the league's regular season.
Driving distance: 4 miles
Sun., Mar. 4 (6 p.m.): Bobcats at Sonics
Under the shadow of the Space Needle at Key Arena, this game provides a little local flavor beyond the home team, as Charlotte brings rookie Adam Morrison -- who played his high school and college ball in Spokane -- back to his home state.
Thurs., Mar. 22 (TBD): West Regional Semifinals (San Jose)
The good people of San Jose hope that the HP Pavilion is the home of an NBA team one day, but for this weekend, they'll be more than happy to host the West Regional of the NCAA Tournament. Tonight, it's a Sweet Sixteen doubleheader.
Driving distance: 36 miles
Fri., Mar. 23 (7:30 p.m.): Wizards at Warriors (Oakland)
This matchup at the newly-named Oracle Arena may not appear to be particularly enticing at first blush, but it has the potential to be entertaining affair, what with the Nellieball Warriors going up and down the floor against high-scoring Gilbert Arenas and the Wiz.
Driving distance: 36 miles
Sat., March 24 (TBD): West Regional Final (San Jose)
Head back to the HP Pavilion, and send one team on its way to Atlanta for the Final Four.
Thurs., Mar. 22 (TBD): South Regional Semifinals (San Antonio)
Another NCAA Tournament/NBA option sends you down to the Riverwalk for an all-San Antonio trip, which should be a lovely mid-March destination. The Alamodome will be the host of this Sweet Sixteen doubleheader. Tickets are available online for the three-game tournament session for $120 and $100.
Driving distance: 3 miles
Fri., Mar. 23 (7 p.m.): Pistons at Spurs
There may not be another city which loves its NBA team as much as San Antonio adores its three-time NBA champion Spurs. Go to the AT&T Center and feel the love, as the Spurs host the Pistons in a rematch of the 2005 NBA Finals.
Driving distance: 3 miles
Sat., March 24 (TBD): South Regional Final (San Antonio)
It's back to the Alamodome for the Elite Eight; the building will serve as the final step to the Final Four, before hosting NCAA basketball's ultimate event for the third time in 2008.
Fri., Mar. 23 (7 p.m.): Heat at Pacers
It's a unique weekend of high school and pro hoops, all held at retro-cool Conseco Fieldhouse in downtown Indianapolis. Start with a visit from Dwyane Wade, Shaquille O'Neal and the NBA champion Miami Heat on Friday night. Rest up, Saturday is a huge day.
Driving distance: 0 miles
Sat., Mar. 24: Indiana High School Boys Basketball State Finals
As chronicled for the ages in Hoosiers, the Indiana state championships are the most storied tournament in high-school hoops. See it in person with a quadruple-header of the A, 2A, 3A and 4A titles at Conseco. You might catch one of the top prep players in the U.S., Eric Gordon, who recently changed his college commitment from Illinois to Indiana in what has been a fierce and controversial recruitment.
Driving distance: 0 miles
Sun., Mar. 25 (3:30 p.m.): Bulls at Pacers
You might as well just park a tent outside Conseco, as it's worth staying through Sunday for this matchup of Central Division foes which will be broadcast on ABC.

Adding content to site http://www.realneo.us
Greater Accountability using a content management platform that provides truthful information for residents of Northeast Ohio. I would like to see Cleveland recognized as a major Drupal node.
I just want to be happy and to have a city that takes care of its own.
A very exciting effort and it gives me hope for NEO!

The cat is very cute but There isn't much to do except feed it, give it yarn to play with and watch it chase butterflies. Most buttons don't work. Boring. I will NOT BUY ANYTHING. I don't like playing stupid games. I want a virtual Cat to care for and actively play with. Work on this app!!
It's ok PLS READ THIS. It lags and its like made out of little squares but the cuteness... YOU WILL DIE BECAUSE OF HER CUTENESS!!! SHE IS SOOOOO CUTE AND THATS WHY I WILL NEVEEEEER UNINSTALL IT! Too cute for me. Just... Too cute... It's kind of boring BUT SHE IS TOO CUUUTE!!!
THIS IS SO SO CUUUUUUUUUTE I love it sooooooooo much The animations are so adorable. Even though it has 3 buttons it is the BEST!!!!!! I seriously cannot stop looking at it. The kitty looks like my cousins cats' ,Bobo and Babe. I made it into my wallpaper.
Cute virtual cat, BUT... About 4 days after I started using this app, I noticed the cat was not on the screen. However, I did not remove it. So, I put back on and later the cat was gone again along with my wallpaper randomly changed. Needs some technical work!
Don't bother... As soon as this App installed my phone crashed. Hadn't had any problems with similar apps. When my phone was up again, the App was sticky, and eventually froze. Uninstalling.
Like it I love this, but on the live wallpaper it zooms in on my background, and that's really frustrating. Also, I think it would be more fun if you made the cat do other things. More expressions and actions. But other than that I love it. I can't get over opening my phone to a kitten chasing a butterfly XD
