How Often Should I Replace My Car Battery? - Tire Center Plus Tire Pros
If you have ever suffered the panic of a weak or dead car battery, you'll know what a frustration it is. If the battery dies for no obvious reason, it may be time for a replacement. Like any other battery, car batteries need to be replaced when they begin to wear out. Here are some battery facts that may help you decide if you need to replace the battery:
The battery is a vital component of all cars. A car without a battery is like a human without a heart. Car batteries are made in different qualities. A good battery can last for over five years with proper care. However, battery failure can occur in as little as three years, depending on the usage, maintenance and seasonal temperatures. Repeated drain, such as forgetting to turn off your ligh ...[more]

Conor Henderson is expected to be out for a minimum of six months after damaging his cruciate ligaments.
The 19-year-old midfielder twisted his knee in the final seconds of the 2-1 win over Cologne on Saturday and was stretchered off. The Irishman flew home that night for tests and, unfortunately, they revealed a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
"Conor has a knee injury and it looks as if it is a cruciate," Arsène Wenger told Arsenal.com. "That means unfortunately that he will be out for six months at the very least."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Meijer is marking a special milestone Thursday, May 16, when it opens its 200th store in Swartz Creek, Mich. The store opening will create more than 200 jobs for the community.
To celebrate the event, the family-owned retailer will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. at the store, located at 4141 Morrish Rd. Meijer officials will be on hand, and the retailer will make presentations to the Swartz Creek Food Bank and the Swartz Creek Civic Center enhancement project.
"We're excited to continue to see our company grow in Michigan," said co-chairman Hank Meijer. "We started local, and we feel it's important to continue to focus on the communities where we're located. Whether it's through donations to local food banks like the Swartz Creek Food Bank, or in supporting farmers across the Midwest, we're focused on growing together with our customers and our surrounding communities."
The Swartz Creek store is the first of six new stores the Grand Rapids, Mich.-based retailer will open this year in Michigan, Indiana and Illinois. It also represents a portion of the more than $160 million planned investment in new and remodeled stores Meijer is making this year throughout the Midwest.
"I am very happy that we now have a Meijer store in Swartz Creek for my own use, and for our citizens to use," Swartz Creek Mayor David Krueger said. "I'm sure that our citizens are going to love the convenience of having the store here, and the many job opportunities that Meijer brings."
At approximately 190,000 sq. ft., the Swartz Creek Meijer was built to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards. It will offer competitive prices and includes a drive-thru, full-service pharmacy offering the retailer's free prescription program for oral generic antibiotics, prenatal vitamins and medications for those with diabetes and high cholesterol. The store will also feature a gas station; a wide selection of general merchandise, including apparel, electronics and pet items and a robust grocery department with national and Meijer brand items.
Meijer is also one of the largest purchasers of fruits and vegetables in the Midwest with an economic benefit of more than $80 million annually. The retailer published an infographic showcasing its commitment to locally grown and the relationships it has with more than 100 growers in the Midwest, providing customers with fresh produce year-round.
"Meijer has a longstanding commitment to buying locally grown produce when available as long as the quality meets our high standards," said Jerry Suter, VP of fresh for Meijer. "It's just one way Meijer supports the communities it serves, and it's an initiative that has expanded during the past five years as the focus on local became more important to our customers."
Michael VanOoteghem, of VanOoteghem Farms, said buying local really resonates with customers.
"We're not a very big farm, but we do a lot of business with Meijer," said VanOoteghem, VP of the Essexville, Mich.-based farm that's provided the retailer with potatoes and cabbage for a decade. "We run into customers and they put a name with a face, and that face also means quality. If they can see that Meijer provides a great quality product, and that it's from a local grower, it gives a boost to the entire community."
Earlier this year, Meijer expanded its program that supports Michigan small businesses to feature 55 new Michigan-made grocery items in all its stores statewide. The goal of the Made in Michigan initiative, launched in partnership with the Michigan State University Product Center, is to help strengthen the state's economy by supporting small businesses.
Meijer opened its first store in 1934. It is a Grand Rapids, Mich.-based retailer that operates 200 supercenters and grocery stores throughout Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky.

I am a huge Star Wars fan ever since my parents took me to see the original in 1977. I joined the forum last year and used some of the templates to make a costume for Halloween. I made a custom Mando but it was a rush job didn't post anything here. I am going to try again this year and start earlier on the work. I think this year I am going to try to make a clone trooper.

The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
This individual was a wizard who fought during the Battle of Hogwarts in 1998. He was hiding behind some stones at the Viaduct Courtyard checkpoint towers when it exploded. It's possible that he was waiting for some Death Eater to pass by there, hoping to kill him fromcover and without the risk of counter-attack. Another option is that he could be injured. It's unknown if he survived the battle.
Behind the scenes
- He was seen wearing a beret, possibly like the Hogwarts' art teacher.

District attorneys (DAs) are the highest-ranking law enforcement officials in their jurisdictions. Their authority is usually county-wide, although some district attorneys represent large cities. As long as they have probable cause, district attorneys have complete discretion in filing charges against individuals. Informed by police investigations, district attorneys may charge anyone with misdemeanors or felonies.
District attorneys review the available evidence and assess witness credibility to determine whether a suspect may have committed a particular crime. A DA may charge a suspect directly or may refer the evidence to a grand jury to consider an indictment against a suspect.
District attorneys are responsible for prosecuting defendants in court. They present the evidence and arguments to a judge or jury, oppose the arguments of a criminal defense attorney, and work to obtain a conviction against the defendant.

"Saba Danam , Dhamma Danam Janati "
These words spoken by all the Buddhas are so ripe and intense with meaning . Am reminded reading somewhere, that when the Sangha was first formed by Lord Gautama The Buddha , and among the five , the first one to realize was the Venerable Kondana , Lord Buddha uttered " Kondana has understood , Kondana has understood , Kondana has understood ."
It is very humbling to see so many in this forum , who are living these words in both letter and spirit.
May i get established in Sila, Samadhi and Panna , living a life full of virtue and good will. A virtuous life , lived with humility and awareness is most nourishing and rewarding.
Am grateful to everyone .

Hey guys,
I wondered if anyone has worked for the IELC School in Mexico, or if they know much about them?
I'm new to TEFL, having recently finished my honours degree, and I'm currently completing the 140 hour certificate. I'm quite open to where I teach, however I do like the idea of doing it somewhere Spanish speaking.
I realise that without a more established qualification like CELTA I'll probably struggle to get a European place in the likes of Spain, so South America seems like a more viable option.
I noticed some job ads through this School so I'd just like to hear about any experiences from people who have worked with them, or maybe just know someone who has.
Cheers in advance,

Office of JD Admission
About John Marshall
John Marshall (1755–1835), a federalist from Virginia, was the fourth chief justice of the United States. From 1801–1835, he led the U.S. Supreme Court and helped transform it into a powerful bastion of judicial review. In a series of seminal decisions, Marshall's Court set forth fundamental doctrines of constitutional law intended to preserve the separation of powers and core principles essential in a democratic republic. Marshall's genius was in his implicit recognition of the promise of the Constitution and the role of law in a constitutional democracy.
About The John Marshall Law School
Due to their belief that the study of law is critical to the health of our democratic society, our founders made it their guiding principle to offer working professionals from all walks of life the opportunity and access to study law. Today, the law school remains true to those principles, and those of our namesake, in our efforts to continue redefining the opportunities of today's candidates and tomorrow's practitioners.
The John Marshall Law School is proud to be recognized as a diverse, innovative institution, promoting excellence in all aspects of legal education. We provide one of the most comprehensive and aggressive JD skills training curricula in the country, including trial and appellate advocacy, alternative dispute resolution, client counseling, negotiations, and legal writing. In addition, our seven Centers for Excellence provide graduate law programs in employee benefits, information technology and privacy law, intellectual property law, international business and trade law, real estate law, tax law, and U.S. legal studies ( for foreign attorneys). Additionally, JD students have the opportunity to earn a certificate concentration, a joint JD/Master of Laws (LLM) from one of our Centers, or a joint JD/graduate degree through partner programs with Roosevelt University and Dominican University.
John Marshall degree candidates benefit from a combination of academic and practical instruction by full-time and practicing adjunct faculty. Students are also encouraged to gain legal experience by taking advantage of legal clinic opportunities, externships, practicum, and professional education events, and by participating in more than 20 specific programs designed to prepare students for the bar examination. Students should also utilize the resources and expertise of the Career Service Office.
The John Marshall Law School is fully accredited by the American Bar Association Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar. The John Marshall Law School also is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The original notifications of accreditation may be seen in the dean's office.

Stacy Shares: Simple Gift Ideas
December 6, 2012 at 9:10 am stacymae Leave a comment
This activity is brought to you by Melissa & Doug, written by our Blog Ambassador Stacy Teet.
"For me, the best part of the holidays is spending time with family, focusing on others, and teaching my children the joy of giving." –Stacy
Every December, the children and I transform into elves. We dream up elaborate schemes about how to fuse the most holiday cheer into each and every day, we cover ourselves in glitter and glue and we do our very best to make as many gifts as we can by hand. We craft our own wrapping paper, make new ornaments and really have fun getting into the Christmas spirit.
Whenever possible, I prefer the children to make their own gifts for friends and family. We file away gift ideas all year long and really try to make things the people on our lists will love and cherish for years. Here are three of our favorite simple gifts kids can make.
1) Artwork & Window Displays
Anything goes here! Finger paintings, drawings, collages … this year I choose these gorgeous Rainbow Garden "Stained Glass" Peel & Press Sticker By Numbers kits from Melissa & Doug as our art project. I knew my mother in law would love them, and double bonus — the kids would have fun creating them. Turns out, we all did!
2) Embellished Picture Frames
These are always a big hit and a no-fail gift idea. All you need is a blank wooden frame, some craft paint or even markers like we used on this one, some fun stickers or embellishments and a favorite photo. Let their imaginations run wild, there really is no right or wrong way to make these.
3) Personalized Keepsake Boxes
I love giving keepsake boxes as gifts because the kids can really put their heart into making them, and then I can slip a simple keepsake I made for the recipient or often times a nice letter and a gift card. It's just so much more personal than giving someone a plastic gift card for Christmas. We have found boxes just about everywhere, but I have my eye on this butterfly treasure box for our girl cousins this year! Add a few hair clips, bows and costume jewelry and voila, the perfect gift!
Do you make gifts like this with your kids? What are some of your favorite simple gifts to give?

The basics: Shred a head of cabbage; mix it with salt, caraway seeds, and juniper berries; pack it in a jar and stash in a cool, dry place. Let the bacteria take over.
The home cook: At first, software project manager Austin Durant's nonfermenting friends thought his fascination with making sauerkraut was a little odd. What started out about a year ago as an interest in its health benefits turned into a full-fledged obsession: "The biochemical changes that take place [during fermentation] are just amazing. Even climate and season can affect the flavor."
But once those friends tried Austin's homemade sauerkraut, they were converted. Subsequently, Austin launched Fermenters Club in San Diego (fermentersclub.com), where people gather to trade "living food" and recipes for sauerkraut, pickles, kombucha, and even fermented ketchup.
About that first batch … Perfect. "I could smell and taste the sourness, and it had complexity of flavor and great crunch."

Mission Statement
Definition of Assistive Technology
Assistive Technology (AT) includes low-tech and high-tech products that enable people with disabilities to be more productive and independent. Assistive technology includes a wide range of products, from simple to complex and inexpensive to expensive. Examples of low-tech AT include pencil grips, tactile rulers, raised line paper, graph paper, large print text, adapted scissors, slant boards, Velcro, magnetic strips, magnifiers, highlighters, page flags, color transparencies, rubber stamps, timers, typewriter key guards, and teacher-made communication boards to name only a few.
An assistive technology device is any "item, piece of equipment or product system, whether acquired commercially off the shelf, modified, or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of a child with a disability. The term does not include a medical device that is surgically implanted, or the replacement of that device."[20 USCS §1401(1)(2)34 C.F.R. 300.5].
An assistive technology service refers to any service that directly assists a child with a disability in the selection, acquisition, or use of an assistive technology device. This includes the following for a child with a disability:
- The evaluation of the needs of such child, including a functional evaluation of the child in his or her customary environment;
- Purchasing, leasing, or otherwise providing for the acquisition of assistive technology devices by children with disabilities;
- Selecting, designing, fitting, customizing, adapting, applying, maintaining, repairing, or replacing assistive technology devices;
- Coordinating and using other therapies, interventions, or services with assistive technology devices;
- Training or technical assistance for a child with a disability, or, if appropriate, the child's family; and
- Training or technical assistance for professionals, employers, or other individuals who provide services to, employ, or are otherwise substantially involved in the major life functions of that child.

Phoenix Returns Home, Controls Youngstown State 7-0
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis.(GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Playing in its first home match in nearly two months, the Green Bay men's tennis team rolled past Youngstown State 7-0 on Saturday afternoon at Western Racquet and Fitness Club. The Phoenix improves to 13-6 overall and 3-0 in Horizon League play with the win, while the Penguins fall to 8-8 overall and 1-2 in the conference.
"We came out with a lot of energy in all three doubles spots today and the message was to continue that in singles play, and the guys did that," Green Bay head coach Mark Thomas said. "We jumped on them right away and I think we caught them by surprise. It was great playing at home and having a lot of fans here. This is where we practice and where the guys are comfortable on the courts. It was a big win today and we're looking forward to keeping it going against a very good Cleveland State team tomorrow."
Green Bay got things started with a dominant performance in doubles action, sweeping each of the three matches. The senior duo of Erik Finkenbrink (Duelmen, Germany) and Craig Cox (Surrey, England) rolled past YSU's Sebastian Hagn and Dawoud Kabli 8-4 at No. 1, while Michael Tebon (Excelsior, Minn.) and Howard Scott (Exeter, England) also won 8-4 at No. 2. The Phoenix completed the sweep with an 8-5 victory at No. 3 by Michael Tenzer (Neuried, Germany) and Joey Leto (Downers Grove, Ill.).
Singles was more of the same, as Green Bay won each of the six contests in straight sets. Cox made it 2-0 in favor of the home team by dominating Felipe Rosa 6-0, 6-0 at No. 3, while Leopold Gomez Islinger (Weiden, Germany) and Scott clinched the victory with wins at No. 4 (6-1, 6-0) and No. 5 (6-2, 6-2), respectively.
After a hard-fought battle in the first set with YSU's Silviu Mistreanu, Tenzer used a dominant second set to close out a 7-5, 6-1 victory in the No. 1 spot. Finkenbrink and Isaaks also earned singles wins for Green Bay, as Finkenbrink won 6-3, 6-0 over Hagn at No. 2 and Isaaks took a 6-3, 7-5 result against Rodrigo Campos at No. 6.
The Phoenix continues its Horizon League slate with another home match on Sunday morning, welcoming rival Cleveland State to Western Racquet at 10 a.m.

Gary L. Brewer, AIA, a partner at New York-based Robert A.M. Stern Architects (RAMSA), focused his September 15 breakout session on the divide between modernist residential architecture designed for "patron" clients and traditional houses designed for the middle market.
Taking an informal poll of the gathered audience of architects, who packed the session room, and citing a late 1980s survey conducted by The New York Times, Brewer established that most architects' preference for the aesthetics of modern design—though in line with the stylistic visions of many high-end "patron" clients—runs counter to the desires of the mass market, who favor traditional design. According to Brewer, by focusing almost exclusively on high-end modern design, architects have not only limited their potential pool of clients, they also have left mid-market house consumers out in the cold.
"Because the profession isn't interested in houses—and if they are interested in houses, they're interested in just modern houses—it has abandoned traditional, middle-class housing," said Brewer, a fellow and board member emeritus of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Classical America (ICA&CA). "When you're in school, you're taught that you should never look at anything that came before or copy anything that came before. But compare that to the practice of law, where you're expected to refer to precedent, or even a tailor, who learns the craft of how to sew a sleeve on a jacket, the structure of a lapel." Architects are the only professionals, he added, who are told not to study the past.
Brewer further argued that it's time to consider returning to the mid-market and serving its needs and preferences, rather than simply those of the small percentage of "patron" clients who commission one-of-a-kind residences. He also said it's important to embrace all sizes and styles of houses, because there's a market for all of them.
Brewer discussed in depth the importance of the pattern book industry, its early beginnings, its rise to popularity in the early 20th century, its sharp decline after World War II, and the continuing efforts of a few architects and companies—among them Southern Livingweaetxdyvaydzcwq and This Old House magazines—to bring well-designed houses to the mid-market. He also outlined RAMSA's transition from post-modern house design to more traditional residential work.
Closing his presentation, Brewer suggested that architects need to put greater emphasis on more than just patron houses—whether taking modern or traditional paths. But how should the profession go about accomplishing this? Training and education, he advised, will play an important role in cultivating both an appreciation for traditional architecture among future architects and encouraging them to address mid-market house consumers.

Eat, Drink, Play: High Country highball
November 27, 2011
The founders of the Breckenridge Distillery decided to start the business in Summit County because they wanted their bourbon to begin with cold, mineral-rich mountain water.
"It's the right place to do it," master distiller Jordan Via said. "The water source is unmatched."
Less than five years later, the nation is taking notice.
Breckenridge Bourbon was picked up by a national retailer this year and is now sold in 12 states.
The distillers say its unique, smooth flavor starts in Breckenridge with the best ingredients and a careful production process. But whiskey enthusiasts can make that call for themselves after a tour and tasting at the world's highest distillery.
The tour takes about 30 minutes. Distillers walk visitors through what is, for those of us who have never given much more thought to the origins of our whiskey than watching a bartender pull it off the top shelf, a surprisingly artful process.
The Breckenridge Distillery's bourbon, vodka and some day scotch-style whiskey, all start with grains steeped in the High Country's cold mountain water.
From the resulting brew, distillers coax out, through evaporation, the alcohol. Good alcohol is separated from the bad and then poured into a barrel, where it ages, taking on the flavor and color of the barrel as the surrounding temperature fluctuates over the next three-and-a-half years.
The golden-amber bourbon distillers pour into the plastic shot glasses for tastings is spicy-sweet and smooth, going down without a chaser or a grimace for even inexperienced drinkers.
Likewise, the distillery's vodka, which is also sampled during tours, is made from corn rather than potatoes or wheat for a silky sweetness with almost no aftertaste.
But the real reason the distillery was opened – scotch-style whiskey – isn't ready yet. It might be three or more years before the first batch hits the market.
But the Breckenridge distillers are patient, almost like vineyard owners, with no interest in rushing the aging process on their finest labels.
The environment in the distillery itself is somewhat reminiscent of a winery as well; high-end chic is combined with Breckenridge's saloon-era Old West feel, and somehow it works. A delicate smell of whiskey and wood meets customers as soon as they step inside the distillery, where there is a small shop stocked with everything from glasses to T-shirts.
Inside, the tour stops first at a bar for the tasting, which includes legitimate shots, not subtle sips of some of the distillery's products. Surrounded by barrels, distillers explain the laws that govern the production processes and how the Breckenridge products differ from other brands.
Then visitors get a peak at the inner chamber, where the alcohol is made. The tour offers an up-close look at the whiskey at different stages of production as distillers get into the mechanics of production.
Tours and tastings are hosted seven days a week. More information about the distillery and products is available online at http://www.breckenridgedistillery.com.

Hello friends of Junonia!
I'm Megan, from Abundia, a community for women of size. Once a year, we have a weekend retreat in northern Illinous, and our friends at Junonia have graciously allowed us to extend the invitation to you!
The Abundia Retreat is just a month away, the weekend of November 2-4, 2012. Abundia is a weekend getaway, designed to give large women the community and resources they need to enrich their lives. Abundia embraces Health At Every Size® and body-acceptance principles that encourage plus-size women to live their best lives—in the bodies they have right now: http://www.abundia.org/.
The first Abundia retreat was held in 1994, and the event has changed and evolved over the years. In 2012, Abundia is being "rebooted" with a new board of directors and a new schedule of events. This year's featured speaker is Golda Poretsky of Body Love Wellness: http://www.bodylovewellness.com/. Golda will present a 3-part workshop on Body Image, a HAES 101 session, and a unique "goddess"-focused guided meditation. Other sessions include: curvy yoga, self-affirming art workshops, a silent auction, music and singing, group dinners, private swims, water aerobics, and other formal and informal group activities.
The retreat is held at the Illinois Beach Resort, located on Lake Michigan in Zion, Illinois: http://www.ilresorts.com/. The hotel is located in a relaxed, beach setting; and many rooms have views of Lake Michigan. The hotel has a very large and newly renovated indoor swimming pool. Abundia has scheduled several private pool times for our group only, as well as a water aerobics class. For many women, the Abundia retreat is a unique opportunity to get into a (Junonia!) swimsuit and into the pool in a safe and fun atmosphere.
The retreat registration fee is $150; plus the room cost, which is $81 per night. Abundia offers a sliding scale for the registration fee, as well as financial assistance from the Empowerment Fund, so we can welcome as many women as possible to the retreat. Register here: http://abundia.org/Pages/Retreat/registration.html
We know that attending an event like this for the first time can be daunting. Many of us remember exactly how that feels! Abundia is an opportunity to meet, learn, and bond with other fat women who are all sizes of large and in various stages on their self-acceptance journeys. Check out our FAQ for answers to your questions about the retreat http://www.abundia.org/frequently-asked-questions-about-abundia/, or feel free to contact me, firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll be happy to answer any of your questions or discuss your concerns.
For more information, check out our website and like us on Facebook! We would love to have you join us for a weekend of fat-postive community and fun! Register today! http://abundia.org/Pages/Retreat/registration.html

I'll try to keep this short. I'm from the US and have an Associate's degree but not a Bachelor's. I'm looking at several options regarding getting my certification and getting a job overseas, but this particular post has to do with the option of taking a TEFL/TESL course in the country I would eventually want to teach in. There are a multitude of schools in each country that promise job placement, visa assistance, etc., not to mention "where in the country do you want to teach?". Plus, even the most highly rated schools have the occasional "nightmare story". I have already been talking to Chichester for their school in Thailand. They seem to have good potential and a decent reputation.
Here are the other countries I'm looking at getting my certification and working in: Russia, China, Spain, Argentina, and Chile. There may also be other countries I haven't considered. I don't currently have a preference for regions in any of these countries, nor do I currently have a preference for age levels to teach.
In each of those countries, I am looking for a reputable training school that can provide me with good training (which would include actual teaching practice). However the main purpose in wanting to take a course in a country is job placement. Which schools have the highest rate of job placement following successful completion of their course?
My apologies for rambling. Thanks in advance for any advice provided.

The bronze bust of Herbert Chapman
One of Highbury's most famous features is the bronze bust of Herbert Chapman. It is situated in the Marble Halls and is the first thing visitors see as they walk up the steps of the East Stand.
The bust was crafted by Sir Jacob Epstein and commissioned just before Chapman died in 1934. As a professional player, Chapman featured for Northampton (twice), Sheffield United, Notts County and Tottenham.
He became a manager at 29 and his first steps began at White Hart Lane. Lying in the bath after the final game of the 1906-07 season, team-mate Walter Bull said he'd just got the player-manager's job at Northampton but suggested Chapman was a better candidate. He applied and a great career had begun.

The growing popularity of the live discs and each of these worshipers' songs led Giglio to create sixstepsrecords, which would serve as a creative hub for the entire Passion team. Of the whole family, Tomlin and David Crowder Band would go on to reach superstar status; the former would earn the label its first RIAA gold-certified album with 2004's Arriving. Multiple awards, nominations, and showings in the upper echelons of Billboard's Christian charts made the Passion and sixsteps brands the most popular in modern worship music, with many of their songs sung by millions in churches all across the country.
In 2006, sixsteps released The Best of Passion (So Far), a two-disc retrospective chronicling the first ten years in the life of the movement. The annual Passion concerts became a praise & worship tradition and live releases drawn from each year's concert continued to appear in 2006 (Everything Glorious), 2008 (God of This City), 2011 (Passion: Here for You), and 2012 (White Flag). Let the Future Begin arrived in 2013 and underscored its title with motivational lyrics and uptempo beats, while 2014's Take It All added a bonus DVD to the album's physical release.
The 2015 Passion conference featured three separate live events held at both the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia and the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. The resulting album, Even So Come, showcased performances from Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman, Christy Nockels, Kristian Stanfill, and others. Following a 2016 studio album called Salvation's Tide Is Rising, Passion celebrated its 20th year with a live album recorded at the 2017 conference. Titled Worthy of Your Name, the album featured new songs written specifically for the anniversary conference and was led by Kristian Stanfill, Brett Younker, and Melodie Malone of the Passion Band. ~ Andree Farias

At a time when mobile banking and mobile payments dominate the financial news, it is easy to forget about the humble automated teller machine (ATM). Customers take them for granted, until an IT glitch prevents them from withdrawing their money, that is. Only a couple of weeks have passed since the latest media uproar caused by a computer failure at the UK's Royal Bank of Scotland and NatWest.

Six University of St. Thomas education students formed the inaugural group that represented the School of Education at the Consortium of State Educators for Texas Teacher Education conference in San Antonio. Educators and students from schools all over Texas attended the conference from Oct. 20-22.
The conference, Forging the Future, aims to provide tools and resources for current teachers, and it features the Emerging Scholar Track, an opportunity for future educators to learn as well.
Dr. Ana-Lisa Gonzalez, assistant professor of education and director of reading and Catholic education, along with Dr. Randy Soffer, assistant professor of education and director of field experience served as faculty sponsors. Dr. Rick Krustchinsky, associate dean of undergraduate education, said the students were an outstanding representation of the service-learning and study abroad initiatives that the School of Education has to offer.
"The students were well-received and well-reviewed by the conference participants making this a great inaugural year for the student's participation in the conference," Krustchinsky said.
UST students participated in the Emerging Scholars Track, which allowed them to attend a keynote address, share their research on study abroad and attend special session addressing technology integration in the classroom and navigating the first three years of teaching.
Cristina Villagomez, senior education major, participated in an Ireland study abroad with the School of Education in July and found it valuable to be able to share her experience at the conference with people who were very curious about the different culture.
"I look forward to teaching any grade level and will use what I learned from the conference in my classroom by allowing the children to share their personal experiences with their peers," Villagomez said.
The students enjoyed the conference and found it to be a fruitful experience as they begin their careers as educators.

The moths and SHB start flying INTO hives just before dark and then after of course. I use screen tops. So I can go out the next morning, pull off my top cover and smash both of these vermin with the tool of my choice. They are usually on the underside of the top cover since the bees can poke at them through the screen. So top screens are a great IPM device. I do not have as many SHB with this method. OH, the top is tilted up so the moths can climb under and on top of the screen.
a screen top is just four 3/4 x 3/4 pieces of wood the size of the box, nailed together and then covered with window screen. So it's kinda like a top cover but not solid--screened. It increases ventilation down here, like last week when it was 96 degrees with 75% humidity. I actually lost a trapout hive last week because it DID NOT have a screend top and they overheated. I had them closed up after a move. I keep my telescoping tops ajar in summer due to the heat, but I don't want robbers and pests getting in.


text: I agree with Winless. No matter how much they try and control the games these things are going to happen. And they used to happen a lot more. I can imagine all the junk calls by the refs now. What new Stern rules will we have to endure? Hire a couple of bodyguards to help the refs break up fights before they escalate if they are that concerned about it.

A poll conducted by the People in Need Foundation revealed deep seated racist attitudes among adolescent Czech Republic youth. Almost 80% of them do not like Romany people whom they blame for an "inability to adjust." They prefer having the government place Romany children in separate schools in order to remove them from daily contact with typical students. Most of the students also revealed they do not like prostitutes, drug addicts and the homeless although they appear more sympathetic towards senior citizens and the disabled. Critics argued the poll did not include schools which have instituted multicultural education programs.
This poll should make those who oppose multicultural education in America pause and reflect on the benefits of having young people learn about other cultures and values. it is all well and good to decry "political correctness," but there is something "correct" about recognizing the dignity and humanity of those for whom are of different cultures and may also have differing values.


text: Caitlin originally chose RWU for its small class size and personal attention from faculty and staff. But Caitlin's experience extended far beyond the classroom. She took on a double major in English Literature and Spanish, was a Resident Assistant, a WQRI member and DJ, a member of the Multicultural Student Union, the University Honors Program and Sigma Delta Pi (the Spanish honor society) and an intern for East Bay Newspapers! You might think she'd have taken her summers off to relax and catch up on sleep. Not Caitlin. She jumped into an RWU program taking language immersion and Spanish literature classes in Guatemala and Honduras. Caitlin took advantage of all the University has to offer.

One of the more common concerns we hear is that because the bass in our systems is being reproduced by a mono subwoofer, the user fears that they may be able to perceive it as a separate, locatable source. This is actually not the case and in a correctly designed 2.1 system using proper bass-management it should not be an issue at all.

Arsène Wenger's main focus will be on 'internal affairs' when he conducts his business this summer.
The Arsenal manager has already said that he will look to add "quality, not quantity" to his squad before next season but he's also determined to secure new contracts for the likes of Robin van Persie and Theo Walcott.
What's more, Wenger wants to conclude negotiations sooner rather than later with Euro 2012 on the horizon.
"A big part of our starting [business] will be done inside," said the Frenchman. "We will do the job we have to before the Euros, for sure.
"We need to get Jack Wilshere and Abou Diaby back and then look at the number of players we have. Then we have Chamberlain, Diaby, Wilshere, Song, Rosicky, Coquelin, Arteta, Gervinho, Walcott, plenty of players.
"The most important part is to get our players fit and back and then hope in the Euros we have a positive experience with our players."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

How many of those derby shirts were in derbies that had a blanket "no star wars" rule. My guess is that it is a significant amount of derbies.
Also, how many Star Wars related shirts were fog/print bound and were rejected because your legal team didn't think you could run it?
If there was never a no star wars ban, it would stand to reason that there would be much more star wars prints in the derby catalog. As evidence by last week, and most likely this week when we will be treated to Boba Fetch in the next couple of nights.
As stated before, I think the No Star Wars rule does affect the number of prints. However skimming through the rules of the past derbies (via Shirt.What), I couldn't even find a derby that had it after looking at 15-20 derbies. I pretty much gave up on it. I'm sure they're there somewhere, but if I had to dig that much, I don't think they were even close to being the majority. I'd say (and this is just my guess) that at best 1/4 of the derbies had a No Star Wars rule (You guys are welcome to look yourselves, the rules are still up with the derby entries.) Four shirts out of what is no doubt hundreds of prints is not solid evidence of Star Wars "auto-printing".
I personally think it's more of an issue of perception vs. reality. Seeing a rash of something happen and taking it as commonplace when it's actually not -- something I've done numerous times when it comes to this site. Or just seeing something that you don't like happening can stick in your mind more than the hundreds of times it didn't happen. Maybe a better argument could be made for pop-culture in general "auto-printing". It's still probably not exactly the case (There's probably at least 10 pop culture fails for every "easy print"), but at least there's a larger sample of prints to argue the point on.
At any rate, I understand your frustration and have felt it in the past. I was merely sharing something that had caught my attention as an interesting factoid.

With that out of the way - can you show me where someone copied Darth Vader directly? There was a recent Darth print, but it was very clearly PARODY. If you can't differentiate between how that was parody and yours isn't, you may need to review the concept. That's some constructive criticism. ;)

I think ROTJ has a different number of stripes though - more I believe (16 vs 14 perhaps)
That's true, but thetemplate has both set variations on it.
Chris never ceases to amaze me with his helpfulness.
It's only an attempt to repay all the help I've received here. Glad you found it useful. If you find these need any adjustment, let me know.
Make sure you cut along the dotted lines, that way the paper doesn't crumple up and it lays flat. Worked perfect for me.
Cut all the way through or half way? Doesn't that mess up the spacing?
I was doing the stripes on a couple new helmets (ESB & ROTJ) and somehow the stripe template was printing out too small, so I blew them up 120% and it looks a lot better. I've updated the new files here:
I used these templates this weekend and they worked great. Photos coming....

Hi Chris
I recently used your template for the ESB Helmet. Worked well! my only query though is... I think the stripes need to be about an extra 1.5mm apart. I compared them to loads of shots from Brak's Buddy's online ref CD.
Just thought this might be helpfull for future reference.

Numerous possibilities for Nationals
The Nationals, in serious discussions to trade outfielder Josh Willingham to the Athletics, are trying to clear money for other pursuits, major league sources say.
Among the team's possibilities:
- The acquisition of a major starting pitcher. The Nats are one of the clubs pursuing Royals ace Zack Greinke and reportedly are interested in Rays righty Matt Garza, as well. They also have been on the periphery of the bidding for free-agent right-hander Carl Pavano.
- The signing of a first baseman. Adam LaRoche and Derrek Lee both are on the Nationals' wish list. They are targets for the Orioles and Padres, as well.
- The addition of a closer. Not a major area of need, but one rival general manager says he would not be surprised if the Nationals bid on free agent Rafael Soriano.
The Nats do frequent business with Soriano's agent, Scott Boras, who represents their two most recent No. 1 draft picks — right-hander Stephen Strasburg and outfielder Bryce Harper — as well as their new centerpiece, right fielder Jayson Werth.
The addition of Soriano or another free-agent closer could give the Nats a powerhouse bullpen, with righties Drew Storen and Tyler Clippard and lefty Sean Burnett performing in setup roles.

Here is it guys--- The compilation from last season 2011-12.
To go ahead and answer questions that people will likely have--
If it looks to dark to shoot-- the Point of View was from i-Kam 3.0mp video glasses with poor light gathering... the time stamp shows it is actually about 830 in the morning in a timber hole.
No beers were drunk during the hunting... We were watching several thousand geese and ducks pass by as we loaded dekes back in to the trucks after shooting limits of each. We decided to pause, drink a cold one and watch the show. DON"T DRINK AND HUNT!
The skeletonized Shoveler towards the end was thanks to a hawk... We left the bird in the blind and went to jump shoot and that was what we came back to.
Lastly- We definitely weren't sponsored by any of those organizations but definitely kept them in business last season!!!
Hope you enjoy!!!

I know how he feels, kinda, my garage is 35x30 with 10 foot ceilings, 2 9x10 overhead doors, I have half the garage sheeted off with blue tarps and use my side for the desoto, do all the welding sanding on my side just pull out the ol honda and keep the wife's side cleaned when i'm done, and my shop is right next to it and it's 15x25 with alot of room for all my parts and projects, glad you got a good shop I have been thinking of adding on for one myself but it suffur alittle with what I have or put the 30dee on hold to pay for it. Think I'll wait for awhile and use the garage.
|My buddy's wife just spent a ton on a new garage. He can park his old Packard in there, as long as it doesn't get mud on the floor. His '51 Chevy Truck project is out in a walled off corner of his machine shed.
Alright ya got me, now I wish I had a shop to work in instead of the wifes garage
Some people are just lucky
|Cliff Elikofer
Just messing with you.
Glad your alright, be sure to watch yourself sometimes you can get an aftershock to your body after being hit with that much voltage/amperage. You can hurt your body on the interior and not know it for a week or later might be a thought to call your doctor and tell him what happened and see if he should check you out or not, wouldn't hurt to call and check. By the way that hoist would look and work better in my garage. Your doing a great job, keep up the good work
|Cliff, that is a really nice job you did on your project. I hope you get a lot of enjoyment out of it. But my, oh my, we are fortunate to have you with us! That was sound advice you gave. They put on-off switches on stuff for a good reason.
|Cliff Elikofer
Just got done working on the truss in my shop that needed to be raised higher (the other truss didn't have to be modified after all, it cleared the vehicle fine). I can tell you one thing, now I know why contractors charge so much to built what ever you need done or built. I still have a little to do. But all in all, I'm done. The only other thing that I "HAVE" to do is, I have to re-wire the whole side where the lift is. The wiring (for the lights and what not) was every where and I'm going to change that real soon.
FYI....A few of the reasons it took me so long was cause I kept changing the location of the lift (it wasn't bolted down yet is why I was able to keep moving it around). And I could not make up my mind about how I was going to build the support around the lift. I did have a support built around the lift that was made out of treated 4x4 lumber. But I wasn't happy with it, so I took it down and started over. I ended up using steel square tubing post (1.5 by 1.5) and for the top, I stuck with 4x4 lumber. You can see some of the support in one of the pictures (P5310003). Plus, I had trouble finding paint for the steel (paint that matched the lift). After I found the paint, I had to wait on the paint company cause they didn't have all the different paint codes to mix the paint.
So, this is where I'm at as of right know. Pictures can be found at the link below.
Ooo yes, "NEVER EVER", let me say that again, "NEVER EVER" try to wire up a 220v breaker without killing main power to the sub panel. My shop sub panel has 150 amp service going to it. It has three main wires that come into it from the house. Well, I decided to wire the lift motor without killing the power. I took the breaker switch and put it on the off position and popped it into it place in the panel. I striped the outer plastic off the wires and feed the three wires into the panel with no problems. First thing, I wired the ground in and then wired the black wire into the breaker with no trouble. All was left was the neutral wire to be wired in the breaker as well (220 breaker, both black and white wires are HOT). I took my screw driver and was loosing the screw (all I had to do was slip the wire under it and tighten it back down) and my screw driver slipped off the screw and I hit one of the main lines which I think is 50 amps. I had my left hand on the sub panel (which helped in grounding me out) and I was leaning forward to help loosen the screw. The screw driver slip and bammmmm. All I can remember was my feet getting blown out from underneith me. I've served in the Marine Corps and have [color=red]never[/color] felt pain like that before. The next time I need to wire something up in the sub panel. I'm making sure the sub panel has zero volts and amps going to it. And if it means blowing up the closest transformer, so be it. I WILL NEVER BE SHOCKED AGAIN.
Anyways, take a look at the pictures and let me know what you all think.
Thanks for your all's help.

|Support that is built around the lift.
|Cliff Elikofer
Thanks Bill
I went to the company that built my shop and I talked to the engineer that works for them. He said the blue print that I have now will work fine. I told him I was going to build a support around the lift to support the trusses bottom cord. The blue print in the above post is what I was going by from memory and is wrong. I went out and did some measuring before I went and talked to the engineer about my new blue print (the company calls that 10' and I have no clue why they do that, it's 9'6'...not 10'). The bottom cord is actually 9' 6'' from the concrete to the bottom cord. As of right now, I have the support up and the lift up as well. I don't have the lift totally installed and the bottom cord has not been cut yet. I just have the side post put up and the top bolted on the lift. The support that is built around the lift is treated 4x4 lumber and is nailed together with 2x4 purlin hangers. The bottom and top cords that are in my shop are 2x6's and the purlins are 2x4's. My trusses are 4' off center. I have two trusses that will be modified. Before I cut the purlins out and cut out the bottom cord. I will nail some 2x4 together and put them up to support the top cord. Then the middle cord will be cut to length and them put up using truss hangers. I will then cut the purlins angles just like the factory did and nail them up as well with the hangers. After that is done, I will cut the bottom cord out. Now the middle cord will be the bottom cord, which will set right on top of the support that is built around the lift. The only problem I might have is the pull up door can not be opened all the way while a long bed vehicle is on the lift like a long bed truck or extended cab truck. I have a heater that is in front of the lift that I will have to relocate cause I don't wont the heat from the heater blistering the paint or getting the grill hot to the point it starts to melt. Once I relocate the heater, I can move the lift forward and that will clear a long bed truck and the pull up door can be opened all the way. That takes care of one problem but it will generate another problem. My heater has a 20' long tube that comes from the heater. The heater is bolted to the trusses and when its on, the heat is shot straight down and a vehicle can not be to close to the heater or the paint will blister. I will probably leave the heater where's it at. But I will not be able to open the pull up door all the way. I can open it about 3/4 of the way. To me, that is not a problem. But its the other person that I'm worried about. If a friend comes over and were working on something and I forget to tell them about how high the door can be raised when a long vehicle is on the lift (that is what I'm worried about). What I could do is, put some kind of stop in the rails so that the door will only raise so high. That way, I don't have to worry about it. But I will have to get used to the door being only raised only 3/4 of the way up even thou a vehicle is not on the lift(Ooo...the decisions I have to make...I know I created them...lol).
I would at least run the new rafter all the way to the ends of the roof. Look at how a try ceiling is done that is what I would do.
|'35 Sedan Delivery
Instead of modifying the trusses, I'd open up the whole space. Trusses don't take well to "field" modification, and I doubt that the mfgr. would give you any advice on how to do this, informal or not. Besides, opening up the whole space would give you a lot more flexibility.
Here's how to do it.
Assuming the trusses are on two-foot centers and are centered over the bay where the lift is going, remove the metal roofing 4 feet to either side of the center truss. Remove the center truss and the ones on either side of it (three total). Take two of these trusses and "sister" them to the remaining adjacent trusses (screw them together every foot along their entire surface, using #8x3" galvanized deck screws).
If the plate on the top of each side wall where the rafters have been removed isn't at least a 2x8, replace it with a 2x8 and bolt it into each concrete block cell that is filled. This may be overkill, but it is intended to prevent the wall from bowing out where the rafters have been removed, hence the walls are no longer "tied" front to back.
To fill in the space, use 2x6 "purlins" (beams going lengthwise between the rafters). Place them at the ridge (peak), above the side walls, and where the short truss elements join the long elements along the roof. They should be angled so that they are perpendicular to the roof line. Fasten the purlins to the trusses with joist hangers.
Then nail a 2x4 diagonally to the underside of the purlins on one side from where the top purlin joins one truss at the ridge to where the bottom one joins the other truss at the side wall. Do the same on the other side but in the opposite direction. Again, this may be overkill, but it is intended to prevent the roof from "racking" due to the 8' gap between the rafters.
Finally. replace the metal roofing.
Now you have an 8' wide "cathedral" ceiling over your lift, along with a roof system that will take the snow and wind loads the original structure was designed to handle.
Good luck.
Since its a relatively new building, ask the manufacturer of the trusses what you would have to do to accomodate your request. I would think that they could give you some "off the record" suggestions. Or ask them how the truss would be designed,if they were building it. Ask them for a price and the sketch, so the codes person can inspect it.
Either way, I would sandwich the existing truss w/ 1/2" plywood. Glued and screwed on all chord members.
Your rafter plan should be okay as drawn, as long as you use a board of adequate depth for the lower chord in your drawing. This would depend on the types of wood available and the expected snow loads in your area. You might ask a local builder or rafter company for their advice. You could use a board the same size as your rexisting rafter, but this might really be undersized and you wouldn't know it without checking
With all due respect, I wouldn't
use OSB for anything in structural construction. It has absolutely no strength-you can break it barehanded. If you aren't going to use structural connectors manufactured for the purpose, at least use 1/2" exterior grade plywood and galvanized construction screws. But Kevin45 is right, you want to brace both sides.
As for needing foot plates to distribute the load, you can figure the load by adding the weight of your lift and the weight of your vehicle and dividing that by the cross sectional area of your lift posts to get a pounds per square foot calculation. The are lots of tables for calculating the supporting strength of concrete. A call to your local concrete supplier could probably tell you if you need a wider support or not. Good luck.
professional help
Hi Cliff, try a short walk in the yellow pages,find the closest truss manufacturer in your area, a half dozen dough nut's will buy you a conversion with the resident planner/ engineer, show him/her a sketch, with dimentions, of what you have, two min. or less in a design "cook book" style program, ( read that SALES TOOL ) will get you an engineered print to follow. this ensures that you will do no harm, and might even gain more vertical height than you need. You live in snow country, so minimize the risk,this is a lot more complicated than it looks from the floor, ask a pro.C-YA Paul
I really can spell better than the last post.
You should be fine with what you have just make sure you have the room in the rafter space, with good support. Your design looks like it will work great

Adam Eakins is a midfielder on the U19 German National Team that will compete at the 2012 FIL U19 World Lacrosse Championships in Turku, Finland. Hailing from Hamburg, Adam continues the ongoing Road to Turku blog series detailing the German team's preparations for the international tourney.
On March 16, 2012, the U19 German National Team had its last team tryout, and only 40 players were invited. The event took place in Hamburg, Germany, at the HTHC (Harvestehuder Tennis-und Hockey club) facilities. Even though we did not have all the players on the first day, we still had stuff to do. We did a lot of odd-man situations and a lot of stick work. As the night went on more and more players started to show up. At the end of the night, all but a hand full were there, and we were all tired from the long practice that we just had. When practice ended we all changed and when up to the club house for a few bowls of pasta and then back down to the hall were we all slept as a team.
The next Morning came way too early. We were all sore from last nights practice and we had to do a 5K team run that morning. After the run, we went to the club house and had breakfast as a team. At 9 a.m., the first practice began and all but two were there. During that practice we did a lot more, I mean A LOT more odd-man situations and stick work. After the first practice we had a lunch break. So we went up to the club house and had lasagna. When that was over, we had the second practice. The second practice we did a lot of offense and defense. The offense worked on shooting. They worked on shots on the run, time and room and inside finishes. The defense worked on slides, approach, pokes, lifts and footwork. After the second practice, we had a small break and then we started back up again shortly after. In the last practice for the day, the offense worked on more shooting and the defense worked on their stuff. Right before the practice ended we had to find our best face-off middies. So we just matched everyone to see who was the best. After that we all went up to the club house for dinner.
Last day of the camp, we all got up early again but we only had the team breakfast, no 5k run (thank god :D). We only had two sessions that day. The first practice we just talked about how we want to play offensively and defensively. After the first practice we had lunch. The second session was a scrimmage, but while we played we each had a heart-monitor on us and we also gave blood. We did this because the coaches wanted to make sure that our health was fine.
Before we left to go back home the coaches sat us down to give us our fundraising T-shirt, and they told us who was on the team.

Armed robbery at Derry CVS
DERRY - Police are seeking the public's help after an armed robbery at the CVS Pharmacy early Monday morning.
A man entered the store at 3:28 a.m., immediately drew a handgun and led a clerk and other employees to the pharmacy at gunpoint, Derry police said. The man demanded drugs from the pharmacist, who handed them to the man. He fled the store and was last seen heading east on East Broadway on foot. No one was injured during the robbery, according to police.
The store is at the intersection of East Broadway and Crystal Avenue.
Derry police detectives are investigating this crime. Anyone with information is asked to call the Derry Police Department at 432-6111.
