Frequently Asked Questions Why "Metropolis"?Metropolis Soap Co. comes from a couple of different places. It's an homage to one of their favorite movies, Metropolis, and it's also a homage to their favorite city: New York! How long does a bar of soap last?Generally speaking, their soaps last just as long as store bought brands! There are some ways to keep it lasting longer than normal: Always use a soap dish so that air can circulate around the soap and keep it dry Don't allow the soap to sit in water for long periods of time Does Metropolis Soap Co. use fragrance oils or essential oils?All of their skincare products are made with essential oils and absolutes only. They don't use synthetic fragrances. How does Metropolis Soap Co. color their soaps?Their soaps are colored with herbs and herb-infused oils. Are all of Metropolis' products vegan? How vegan?All of their products are vegan-friendly. They're safe for the most hardcore of vegans: they use no beeswax, honey, or other animal by-products. Do their products "go bad"?On the rare occasion that you've had a product of theirs longer than 2 years and haven't used it all up (the shame!) they'd suggest tossing it and getting a new one. Are Metropolis Soap Co. products safe for all over the body?Generally speaking yes they are safe for the body and face. However, you may have allergies to a particular ingredient so please try the product on a small patch of skin first. If any redness or irritation occurs don't use the product. What are Metropolis Soap co.'s ethics?They believe animals are awesome and should not be affected by them selling their products to you. Therefore they do not test on animals and they make a conscious effort to avoid leaving an imprint on the planet. They do not use Palm Oil specifically because of the decimation it causes to the rainforests and to orangutan habitats. They use recycled packaging materials when shipping items to you when possible. What makes Metropolis "green"? They only use 100% Post Consumer Waste paper for their labels All products are vegan All ingredients are from sustainable and renewable resources All product packaging is recyclable About Metropolis Soap Co.Many people like to ask about how Metropolis came to be, so owner, Megan Brame-Finkelstein, would like you to have some background on Ronnie. Megan's cousin, Ronnie, is the youngest of 3 and was born in 1994 with pretty serious food allergies. He was always very skinny and tiny, though he made up for it with personality (once he got to know you). It was thanks to him that their family became educated on food: before that they would just eat anything and not think twice about it, but Ronnie taught them to pay attention and recognize ingredients: what was harmful, what could be eaten safely, and how both of those categories affected their bodies. Megan had always been a lover of skincare products and cosmetics, so it was only a matter of time before label reading became a normalcy for her when it came to beauty products. What was Titanium Dioxide, what was cornstarch doing in her powder, how did Vitamin E really contribute to the product she was buying? Megan began to seek out products with specific ingredients, and when she couldn't find what she was looking for in ONE product, she started to research making her own. And after years of testing, playing, learning, failing, and perfecting, Metropolis Soap Company was launched. And it was all thanks to one little guy who spawned a food movement in his family.

'Last night, the Bruins did a solid job in the early going of stifling a Sabres team that had scored 12 goals over its previous three games, including three at the FleetCenter in a 4-3 B's win on Monday. As the game wore on, the Bruins' scoring chances got better and better until they finally beat goalie Mika Noronen at 15:27 of the second period.'

Brevard, N.C. - Senior setter Jami Perry left the court in the third game to a rousing ovation which got even louder as she retook the court to serve match point in the Thursday night match between Brevard College and visiting North Greenville University. Even though the Tornados did not get the point on Perry's serve, Brevard clinched the match two points later to sweep the season series against the Crusaders, 25-12, 25-18, and 25-16.
Defeating a team twice in a season is a tough task; taking a third game from that same team is near impossible, but Coach Brenda Skeffington's squad proved up to the task as they improve to 14-16 on the season, 3-13 in the South Atlantic Conference. The Crusaders never really seemed in the game as they fell to 4-33.
The Tornados came out firing on Senior Day as they jumped to a quick 6-0 lead behind two straight kills by pre-season 2nd team All-SAC member junior middle hitter Brooke Seaman and a serving ace by freshman defensive specialist Lindsey Rogers. North Greenville came back behind the serve by sophomore Melissa Ragsdale to bring the game within two before a kill by junior outside hitter Chelsey Trojan stopped the Crusader rally in its tracks. The Tornados rallied behind Seaman who recorded six kills in the set in winning 25-12.
The second set was similar to the first as the Tornados built a 10-2 lead behind the serves of sophomore libero Rebecca Schoonover and junior defensive specialist Cori Emory. After the teams swapped service errors, an ace by Perry put the Tornados up 13-4. The Crusaders unable to bring the game back within seven points as Brevard rode three straight kills by junior outside hitter Christin Johnston to take the second set, 25-18.
Johnston continued to have the hot hand to start off the third set as she put the Tornados up 6-1. Seaman added two aces of her own as the team recorded nine for the evening. As the Crusaders mounted a short comeback and started to build momentum, freshman middle hitter Ashlie Morrison stopped them in their tracks with a thunderous kill to put the Tornados up 16-6.
With the score at 19-7, Perry came out of the game to a standing ovation from the crowd. Coach Skeffington put her back in the game to serve it out with the score at 22-13. Even though Perry was unable to serve out, the Tornados took the victory 25-16 to sweep the match.
The Tornados were led by Seaman who recorded 14 kills on 20 attempts on her way to recording a 70% kill percentage. Trojan added five kills of her own to go with her team-high 11 digs for the match. Perry contributed to the win with 26 assists.
Perry, a native of Greer, S.C. and the lone senior of the volleyball team, finished up her home collegiate career with a win. In her freshman year she was named the Appalachian Athletic Conference Freshman of the year and was named to the All-Conference team as she recorded 1,372 assists, the second most assists in a single season in Brevard history. As a sophomore she won the NCAA Leadership award for her contributions both on and off the volleyball court. When her career ends, Perry will finish as the all-time career assist leader at Brevard College. She currently sits at 4,565 assists in her career, over 2,000 more than Megan Kroeger who resides in second.
The Tornados hit the road on Thursday as they travel to Mars Hill, N.C. for the first round of the South Atlantic Conference. Brevard, coming in as the 8th seed, will take on number one Wingate University at 2:30 p.m.

Our bold, scientific approach to matching means more quality dates
with deeply compatible singles that truly understand you.
*Based on data collected by Harris Interactive from 19,131 respondents in the United States who got married between January, 2005 and November, 2012.
A new dating experience, but for something bigger and more meaningful: Welcome to eHarmony. Whether this is your first time trying online dating or you've already tried other dating services, chances are you're looking not just for true love.
It takes courage to admit you're ready to meet "the one", to take a break from awkward blind dates and meeting strangers you have nothing in common with, and to commit with passion to finding someone you want to be with forever
At eHarmony we admire that courage and strive to find you compatible matches with whom you'll connect at a deep level, leading to meaningful, long-lasting relationships.
Don't just take our word for it - read about some of our members who've had great success on eHarmony. Though their stories of meeting their partners are all different, they'll all tell you the same thing: this is a dating service that really works. At eHarmony we help create great relationships between people who have a real connection before they've even met. You'll often hear our members say that they felt they'd known their partner their entire lives. That's how it can feel when you're matched with someone who just clicks.
We know Canada and the people in it. So whether you're looking for single women in Toronto or eligible guys in Vancouver, we've got you covered. Our members come from all walks of life. You can narrow your search to specify if you're looking for Asian, Jewish, Muslim or Christian men and women - just to name a few. We understand dating is about more than just attraction and there are things that are important to our members beyond shared interests and hobbies. Whether it's a shared religion, family background or cultural heritage, our search function allows you to define what it is you're looking for in a partner.
When you join eHarmony, you're not just getting access to thousands of great Canadian singes - you'll also receive dating and relationship advice from our team of experts. Our Relationship Advice site features articles about everything from creating the perfect profile page to moving on after a bad breakup, so whether you're just starting your online dating journey or you want to know how to better your chances of meeting a match, our experts have the answers.
You know that feeling you get after a great first date with someone new? You've chatted for ages, maybe had a round or two of drinks, and eased into the part of the evening where the conversation flows freely. You leave feeling happy and alive, excited at the prospect of starting something new with someone who truly clicks. That's exactly how we want our members to feel after each date. It doesn't mean going on lots and lots of dates in the hope that you may luck out. It means going on fewer quality dates with people who you know are going to be a great fit.
It takes a lot of energy to try to meet Mr or Mrs Right at a bar, or to sit through blind dates making small talk with friends of friends. When it comes to online dating, many other sites make you spend hours searching through pages of random profiles, hoping in vain that something catches your eye. With eHarmony you can expect something different. No more awkward dates, no more late nights at the bar, and no more searching endlessly through thousands of dating profiles. It's just a simple, effective dating system that really works.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
View. Room size. Location. When I woke up in the AM i noticed my iPhone was covered in dust. I then noticed the desk with my black laptop, across from the air conditioning vent was also covered in dust particles. This is a big deal for me because I have a dust mite allergy, but still have never seen this level of dust collect just overnight. I think the air filter vents in these rooms are very very dirty and just blow dust all night as Long as the AC is running. I was extremely congested all day due to my allergy and had a hard day networking at my convention. Also, the TV service this day and age is sub-poor. No guide and some of the channels didn't work "no signal".
The view They changed $47 for parking
Unlimited Access To EVERYTHING FUN Leaving
- Great location - Great drinking & dining options - Great interior design and decor - Clean - Loud guests after 10pm - A little on the expensive side - Add-on expenses (parking, water, etc)
Views Large king bed Activities in and around Near gas lamp District Self parking fee - 35 (50 deposit) Better soundproof doors closer to elevators Near gas lamp district
Our checkin was quick and we love the location. I expected room to be a little cleaner for what we paid...
We immediately felt welcome as Rob at the front desk gave us information about the facility and its surroundings. He gave us a corner room near the top with spectacular views. We got two beds which is plenty of room for family of four. Inside the room there is is luxurious atmosphere with open space. There is also Keurig with Starbucks coffee. Overall clean and modern, with even electronic shades. I have stayed at plenty of upscale hotels and this is the best by far. The location is the best. I went jogging at the lovely Seaport Village right next to it. The Gaslamp Quarter is also near. Overall an excellent place and we would definitely come back!
Everything! Service and location was best Dusty room
Great location, we had a beautiful view of the water and of the pool area. The pool was very nice as were the hot tubs. The room was very clean and spacious and the staff was very polite. And I did not have to wait long for an elevator. The only issue we had was that our parking pass was note coded so we were unable to exit the garage. The staff quickly corrected it thouh.
Facilities Location & price.
The decor was amazing throughout the hotel. The foyer/lobby was stunning along with the rooms. We stayed in the Harbor Tower on the 23rd floor. The view was spectacular. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The only problem we had was with our TV to where we couldn't order movies one night. The night manager gave us a $100 credit which was very satisfactory. I would definitely stay here again. The food at the Market wasn't good. I had a turkey sandwich from the refrigerated section and the bread was very stale. My wife ordered a bagel with cream cheese and she could hardly bite into it.
As a young couple, we have not stayed at many nice hotels. This was a very refreshing look into the "adult" world, and truly sets a precedent for what a well put together hotel looks like. No complaints whatsoever.
The location and the view of the room Subaverage room. The price of the room and the room itself does not match. Small beds, small bathroom, small sink area, not a luxury hotel, less than average room.
Love the pool area, felt as if I where in an all-inclusive-resort. Like that the Boardwalk was just steps away. Would definitely recommend this hotel I stayed on the South Tower, did not like the construction noise and sight of construction
Beds were comfortable. Concierges were all great -- friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Pool was lovely, view was lovely. Nice pre-set videos for fitness classes. I did the yoga. Balcony quite small. Restaurant nice for breakfast buffet but dinner wasn't very good.
Location Family friendly Great staff Would definitely stay there again! Self parking is horrible. Valet parking is $45 a night.
Great gym; liked having Starbucks in hotel. Great location. Construction site. Hallways super narrow. Bathrooms small. Will be nice to see it in a year from now
Experience was great
The hotel was clean, comfortable, and the service was good. The facility is very nice and the location is prime. Everything was overpriced. Valet was $47 a night ($35 for self parking), the hotel charged an extra $12 for Internet service, and the room service arrived in a paper bag and plastic cups (very disappointing).
Option for self parking with option to come in and out. Great fitness area and pools. A little pricey. Internet charge.
Large clean room, good views, many on-site amenities shops and restaurants, great location, helpful efficient staff. Expensive rooms, extra charge for internet, no ventilation fan in the bathroom.
The location, staff, atmosphere spectacular customer service. The pool area was heavenly. I wasn't able to stay forever.
Nice grounds, hotel staff very friendly. While on vacation being woken up at 4:00 am and 6:00 am every morning due to construction work being done on the expansion of the conference center was a bit maddening. I got the impression that they were behind schedule due to the 3:30 am dumpster clean out. The services at the one and only restaurant was very poor. Complete mayhem in the understanding of the services due to poor management, Often times we would have to go look for a server to get a drink at the lounge area.
Breakfast, as always, was good. We were not able to enjoy happy hour as we had another commitment. Location was great. $46/day for valet parking is ridiculous. Luckily we are Hilton Honors members, because $12.95/day for internet is also ridiculous. For the price of the hotel, internet should be included, and parking reasonable.
Nothing went right and it continued even after we left the hotel
Location, room separate from living area a huge plus. I booked over the phone directly with the hotel, what I was quoted over the phone was $100 more than what was emailed to me in my confirmation. I had to cancel, and was transferred to 3 people before I was allowed to do so. I was told there was Self-Park or Valet, upon arrival I was informed there is ONLY valet and it was $42.00. I was not informed that the hotel was under major renovations when speaking to the hotel on the phone either. "heated pool" was barely warmed up, more cold than anything. The parking felt like the biggest disappointment, especially being lied to over the phone.
almost everything worked out just fine for us.. long line for happy hour.
Choices to be green. Close to the convention center. Hours for the recreation area were limited.
Very friendly and helpful staff. The room was clean and large. The hotel location was ideal due to its proximity to different eateries and shops. I wish I had the time to enjoy a run near the waterfront which looked lovely. It was a little pricey at over $300/night, but then again it was Memorial Day weekend.
The breakfast. Didn't like the $40 night parking fee and I thought the customer service at the front desk was terrible.
Breakfast was good. Afternoon cocktails and snacks were a nice touch. Big, comfortable room. No drinking glasses in room. They charge for Wifi.
The rooms are big, and the hotel close to a beautiful beach. The is a nice center of restaurants near the hotel The Peking in the hotel too expensive
Location After realizing I left a jacket in the closet, I immediately contacted the hotel to retrieve it. Two messages were left on housekeeping voice mail. Twice I spoke to front desk and was prommised missed a call back which never came. No manager was available at any time. After a day and a half I recieved a message from housekeeping that they didn't find it. The outcome would have been different had the front desk or management given quality customer service. I am a Hilton Honors member and frequent guest.
The staff is very friendly. The hotel is very clean. The free hot breakfast was good. The location is is great.
I was told there was Self-Park or Valet, upon arrival I was informed there is ONLY valet and it was $42.00.

Welcome | Issues Update | Upcoming Events | Resources | Contact Us | Donate
Families of September 11 is now operating as the For Action Initiative. The web pages on this site are available for informational purposes only. Please visit us at www.foractioninitiative.org.
In this month, our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of those victims of the 3/11 attacks in Madrid. Their pain is a pain shared by all of us. We offer to them not only our condolences but whatever strength and resolve we have developed over the past few years to cope with the aftermath of such a horrific event.
FOS11 has sent a letter of support to the Spanish families through our contacts in Spain. Several family members have also written personal notes. If you would like to express your support for the families of 3/11, please send us your letters (http://email@example.com), under the subject line of "Letter of Support for 3/11 Families" and we will forward them.
This newsletter, we introduce you to our new Executive Director, Nikki Stern and to our new slate of officers (http://www.familiesofseptember11.org/about/whoweare.asp.) We urge you to avail yourselves of the helpful March TOOL and keep updated on news and resource information.
Issues Update
Thoughts on Images, Polls and Politics
This has been a month filled with controversy and differing opinions over the use of 9/11 images in advertisements for political campaigns. Regrettably but understandably, this has been turned by the media into something very partisan.
The statement from FOS11 on our website was not at all intended to be partisan. We called on both political parties to practice restraint in the gratuitous use of images of 9/11 for purely political gain. Our statement does not call for a moratorium on reference or discussion of the events of 9/11. We welcome such discussion and debate, so that we might not only understand what might have happened, but know that steps are being taken to prevent such an occurrence from happening again in our country.
We have been very focused on the effects of images showing the deaths of our loved ones from our inception. Since we launched grass-roots efforts to monitor and warn against the use of disturbing 9/11 images in the media more than eighteen months ago, we have been concerned with the effects of repeated viewing of such images for family members, survivors, rescue workers and children (see this month's article in this newsletter by psychologist Stefanie Norris at Willow House in Chicago, explaining the symptoms and disabilities caused by post traumatic stress disorder).
We support those members who lament the fact that 9/11, its horrors and its aftermath, are fading from the public consciousness in many parts of the country. We do not want anyone to forget. We need people to investigate, understand and take action because of what happened on September 11. But in the interest of all families, especially those most vulnerable, we cannot support the use of graphic images purely for "shock" value.

Almost everyone who came of age in suburban America with a television set in the living room has a memory of "The Addams Family."
An older generation's memories of Gomez, Morticia, Lurch, Uncle Fester, Pugsley and Wednesday might spring from the original source of Charles Addams' single-panel cartoons in The New Yorker.
Either way, "The Addams Family" is truly an American family. Dour, droll, and delightfully dark, they taught readers, and later television audiences, the best way to crawl inside the finer wrinkles of a laugh that needs a bit of teasing before if finds its fullest voice.
"The Addams Family" will make its Salt Lake City premiere Nov. 13 at Capitol Theatre, running through Nov. 18.
"Growing up in New Jersey, I had an English teacher who, every day, would post a different New Yorker cartoon on his black board," said four-time Tony Award-winning screen and stage director Jerry Zaks. "He was really ahead of his time. After that I never forgot 'The Addams Family.'"
So when Zaks was approached to oversee a "nip and tuck" to the Broadway musical prior to its national tour, the director said he gave the project the utmost care and respect. Songs were jettisoned, while others were added, and the plot was tightened, adding tension in the depiction of the marriage of Gomez and Morticia.
Transforming the legacy of Addams' cartoon, and the television series and film version that followed, into a two and a half-hour musical was itself no easy task. The show was already a Broadway hit in 2010, but Zaks said his tune-up of the stage musical by Andrew Lippa, who wrote the music and lyrics, and Rick Elice and Marshall Brickman, who penned the book helped audiences appreciate the work's dark humor.
So far, national audiences have responded in kind. Some go so far as attending theater performances dressed in their favorite member of the family.
Even if you already know "The Addams Family" through one or more of its many earlier incarnations, you don't know it as intimately as you could. After all, the musical boasts luminous sets throughout the continuum of blue, purple and black, which create visual effects bordering on illusion, Zaks said, and a full menu of songs to charm and bewitch.
"Whether you call Addams' humor 'dark' or 'gallows,' the bottom line is that his drawings always put a smile on your face," Zaks said during a phone interview from New York City. "The way he did that was to create characters that give voice to the darkest impulses everyone has."
Douglas Sills, who plays Gomez in the touring show, said that given the often understated humor of the 60s-era television series, audiences are surprised to find the musical to be laugh-out-loud funny. And since the characters are already so familiar to most people, no introductions are needed. The opening music speaks for itself.
"When the curtains part and I come out, it's almost as if a key has unlocked the warm and fuzzy underbelly of the audience," Sills said, speaking by phone while on tour in Seattle. "It's as if everyone's ready to be tickled. I'm constantly touched at how deeply this family has been inculcated into the American psyche."
As embraceable as each cast member is, however, purists may be relieved to learn that the reversals of decorum and aesthetics that made Addams' creations so popular lurk slyly in the background.
"Of course, I watched the show after school, like so many other kids of my generation," Sills said. But he also remembers reading the cartoons in his parents' issues of The New Yorker.
"They had an almost silent punch to them," Sills says. "I remember the moment when I finally got it. With their texture and layers in just one panel, I felt like a true sophisticate. It made me feel like a grown-up."

Push2Phone - Send Text to Phone
I have created a push2phone program in asp.net that allows for sending text messages to phones, and I was unable to find a free one online so I created my own. I have it working on call manager 4.1(3). It might work with other versions as long as they use the devicelistx.asp file. Here is a link to the program. I also have included screenshots in the download so you can see what the gui looks like before installing.
Any suggestions? Comments?

Augustine Cicatello, longtime barber on Buffalo's Elmwood strip
April 24, 1931 – Aug. 14, 2013
Augustine "Chick" Cicatello, a well-known barber whose shop on the Elmwood strip was a fixture for more than 50 years, died Wednesday in Hospice Buffalo, Cheektowaga. He was 82.
Born on the city's Lower West Side, Mr. Cicatello worked construction for a time before a head injury suffered in a construction accident put him out of work. That accident proved opportune, however, when his local barber convinced him to try his hand at cutting hair at a barber school.
"If you're not a barber," the owner of the barber school is said to have exclaimed after seeing Mr. Cicatello cut hair, "you should be a barber."
For the next five-plus decades, Mr. Cicatello cut hair for a living, first at a barbershop on West Utica Street just west of Elmwood Avenue, and later as owner of Chick's Barber Shop on Elmwood near Breckenridge Street, which he opened in 1957.
Mr. Cicatello did business in that location for 47 years, providing haircuts to prominent and ordinary Buffalonians alike, until a fire in October 2004 ripped through a neighboring coffee shop and his beloved barbershop. Luckily, his landlord offered him a new storefront – at the very same Utica Street location where his career as a barber began, it just so happened.
Regulars enjoyed Chick's Barbershop as much for its reputation as a community hangout as for Mr. Cicatello's excellent haircuts. The shop's walls were lined with celebrity-autographed photos and Buffalo memorabilia, including a model of the Crystal Beach boat. In recognition of his status as a local celebrity, Erie County Executive Joel Giambra proclaimed Sept. 30, 2002, "Augustine Cicatello Day."
Mr. Cicatello enjoyed travel, bingo and trying his luck at casinos, alongside his wife of 58 years, Virginia.
In addition to his wife, survivors include two daughters, Deborah and Michele; and a son, Mark.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered at 9 a.m. Saturday in St. Margaret Catholic Church, 1395 Hertel Ave.

As a remodeler, not a day goes by that I don't have to do some kind of plumb or level layout. Usually this work takes place indoors, but sometimes — such as when I'm framing or trimming an addition — it happens outdoors. So when I tested the PLS180 a few months ago, I was able to give it a real workout.
This small line laser — which projects visible plumb and level beams — is unique in that its horizontal beam fans out at more than 180 degrees. Although the vertical beam has a slightly narrower fan angle, it can still project a plumb beam up the wall and across the ceiling to a point behind the laser. If you put the PLS180 in the center of a room, the level beam will go more than halfway around the space.
PLS180 Specs Street price: $400 (complete kit); $300 (without detector and grade rod clamp)
Size of laser: 2 inches by 2 7/8 inches by 3 3/8 inches Rated accuracy: +/- 1/8 inches at 30 feet
Power: three AA batteries
Range: depends on lighting; up to 100 feet with detector
Kit contains laser, plastic case, detector, grade-rod clamp, magnetic bracket, batteries, and belt pouch.
Pacific Laser Systems
On the back of the laser are two buttons: One turns the unit on and off and changes modes, and the other activates the pulsing function that makes the laser visible to the detector. As long as the PLS180 is placed within 6 degrees of level, it will level itself; if it can't, the beams shut off. It has three modes of self-leveled operation: level line, plumb line, and cross hairs. There's also a fixed cross-hairs mode in which a pair of perpendicular lines can be projected onto any surface regardless of whether the unit is level. In this mode the tool can be used like a giant framing square.
An indicator light turns green when the laser is level, red when it's in fixed mode or can't level, and yellow when the batteries are low. The light blinks when pulse mode is on.
According to its maker, the PLS180 is accurate within +/- 1/8 inch over 30 feet. I checked it against an expensive rotary laser with an accuracy of +/- 1/16 inch in 100 feet: In a 20-foot-wide room, it barely deviated from the rotary tool. At greater distances, though, the accuracy fell off, and the beam became harder to see as it fanned out. At 12 feet, it produced a sharp 1/16-inch-wide beam; at 30 feet, a 1/4-inch-wide beam. At 125 feet the beam was 1 inch wide, and visible only in fairly dark conditions. My rotary laser's beam is still only 1/4 inch wide at that distance.
There are ways to compensate. You can make your mark at the center of the wide beam or use the detector, which automatically locates the center. But neither method is very convenient — especially if you want to use the beam in place of a snapped line, as I do when framing walls in an existing space: I nail the bottom plate to a line projected on the floor and the top plate to a line on the joists or rafters above.
Like other lasers of its kind, the PLS180 relies on gimbals for leveling. If something shakes it — the wind blows or the floor vibrates when someone walks by — the gimbals swing and the beam jumps around. Although this is not very noticeable over short distances, it is over longer ones. While framing on one job I tried to project a line 30 feet across a room — but with carpenters nailing nearby and a compressor shaking the floor, the beam moved too much for me to use it. Of course, this problem applies to every self-leveling laser that relies on gimbals; the only way around it is to spend several thousand dollars on a rotary laser with servo motors that compensate for vibration.
The PLS180 (left) can project level lines, plumb lines, or plumb and level lines at the same time. The detector — shown at right on a 2x2 grade rod — is used to locate the beam at long distances or in bright sunlight.
The detector allows you to locate the center of the beam when either distance or bright conditions make it hard to see. Using the detector is simple: You set the laser to pulse and turn it on. A beeper indicates if it's getting closer to or farther away from the beam; when it's aligned with the beam it emits a siren-like noise that's loud enough to hear through earplugs. (In fact, it's downright annoying if you aren't wearing hearing protection.) Another option is to mute the beeper and gauge the location of the detector relative to the beam by reading the arrows on an LCD screen.
The detector is rated to work from 100 to 250 feet, whereas the laser is only rated to work to 100 feet with a detector. Curious to see how far the PLS180 could project a beam, I tried using the detector at 150 feet. It found the beam but had a hard time locking onto the center of it, presumably because the line was too faint or spread too wide at that distance. At 100 feet, the laser and the detector worked fine.
Magnetic Bracket
The included L-shaped bracket can be connected to the 1/4 x20 socket on the bottom of the laser. The bracket has a pair of magnets for attaching it to ferrous metal and holes for screwing it to other materials. I often use it to attach the laser to metal corner bead (through the joint compound) and to steel door hinges. On a recent job I attached the bracket to a piece of metal screwed to one of the rafters. This allowed me to install collar ties quickly, and make them level enough for a drywall ceiling.
Magnets in the L-bracket hold this laser to the metal corner bead. Because the horizontal beam spreads beyond 180 degrees, the author is able to lay out shelf cleats without moving the tool.
While I like the bracket, it could be better. The rubber surrounding the magnets keeps them from scratching metal but leaves marks on textured drywall surfaces. I'd rather have more ways to mount the laser on the bracket, and I wish the screw in the bracket could be easily reversed so the arm containing the magnets could be flipped up or down. Also, additional threaded inserts in the housing — say, on the top and side — would allow for greater flexibility in positioning the device.
The PLS180 kit — laser, detector, grade-rod clamp, magnetic bracket, belt pouch — comes in a compact plastic case. It's a tight squeeze, but everything fits. The magnetic bracket stores in the pouch with the laser, which can be inconvenient when you want only the laser. I'd prefer for the bracket to be stored separately in the case.
The Bottom Line
The wide spread of the beams allows the PLS180 to project a "longer" line than is normally possible with a line laser. That makes it a very useful tool. It's best for use over short distances; at 30 feet or less the accuracy is high and the beam is still tightly focused. Its small size is another plus: You can carry it on your belt, where it's always available for the kinds of leveling tasks carpenters do regularly.

Welcome to New York!
One good runway walk can launch a young model's career into stardom. Being the first of four consecutive fashion weeks each season, New York emits the energy of hundreds of new faces dashing from casting to casting, trying to earn a space in a shows' lineup.
Casting major shows from Preen in New York to Pucci in Milan and Rick Owens in Paris, AM Casting boasts a scrupulous eye for talent in a young model. "We take great hair and skin, height, walk and a good body as a given," says Munro. "A girl needs something extra to stand out from the droves of new models. It is often a blend of personality and something intangible in the eyes that makes a promising model."
Read up on these 10 new faces and look out for them on the runways!
Who : Charlotte Free
Agency : IMG Models
Why she's top 10 : Charlotte's height (a mere 5'7) is the only thing that will preclude her from walking in every major show. Some designers will make it work, but it will be in the fall 2011 advertising and editorial realm that her star will really start to shine.

As usual, Deacon Greg Kandra has the story, even when it's about me.
I attended the National Religious Freedom Conference, which was organized by the American Religious Freedom Program, which is affiliated with the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington DC. The conference was Thursday.
It was the reason for the trip to Washington that I mentioned in my earlier post lambasting the hapless news commenter who got on the wrong side of my Okie-ism.
If ever there was a reason for doing a back-to-back flight across the country, this conference was it. Except for the basic right to life, there is no human right that transcends our innate right to freedom of conscience and belief. Interfering with an individual's religious beliefs is tantamount to a form of mind control. It goes to the core of their personhood, of what makes them tick as people.
America, this unique nation which was, as one of the speakers at the conference said, created from an idea, has always held that religion is a matter so intimate that the government may not interfere, either with its existence or with the free exercise of its practices. Freedom of religion is not and never has been freedom from religion.
This is not to say that those who do not believe in any god should have their clear right to their disbelief meddled with. Not at all. Each of us has the right to be wrong in one another's eyes on questions of faith.
The troubling trend in this country by certain groups to attack and limit the freedoms of religious people has gone on unchallenged for far too long. It is time that people of faith insist that, whatever social changes may come down the road, none of them should trample other people's rights to freedom of religion and faith.
There is much more at stake in this than my religious belief or your religious belief, or even your unbelief. What is at stake is the essential idea on which America was founded and on which all American freedoms exist. That is the idea that all human beings are created equal and that every single one of us has worth. Religious freedom, freedom of conscience, are the wellhead of how this idea is expressed in our government.
It was no accident that the first freedom America guarantees to individual citizens involves self expression through speech and religious belief. If you can't believe according to your faith and say what you believe, then there is no freedom at all.
As a speaker at the conference, I attracted a small amount of attention, some of which resulted in an article by Dennis Sadowski at the Catholic News Service. From what I hear, I also got a shout out of some sort from the 700 Club.
Needless to say, I'm flattered by this. However, I am much more than flattered to have been part of this conference. I am deeply honored that anyone would think that I had something to contribute to such an august body of thinkers and all-around wonderful people. The American Religious Freedom Program is not designed to replace the efforts of groups like the USCCB or the Southern Baptists in the fight for American religious freedom. It will take a more focused and direct approach which does not involve specific moral issues and which seeks to protect the religious liberty of all faith groups.
The one and only issue for the National Religious Freedom Conference is religious freedom itself. I think this is a critical approach which has been lacking in the fight for religious liberty up to now. It is a position that no religious group can take, simply because every religious group has specific moral issues on which it must also take positions.
However, I believe that the freedom of all faiths and faith members to be who we are, with our doctrinal differences intact and fully respected, is something that all faiths can unite around. For instance, as a Catholic, I may not have a problem with eating pork or the social drinking of liquor, but if the government tries to force members of faiths which do have moral teachings against these things to violate their faith, then I will stand with them in the fight. To paraphrase Patrick Henry, I may not agree with what you believe. But I will fight with you to protect your right to believe it.
Here, from Deacon Greg's blog, The Deacon's Bench, is the article from CNS:
Meet a Pro-Life Democrat: Patheos' Rebecca Hamilton Profiled by CNSMay 31, 2013 By
Oklahoma State Rep. Rebecca Hamilton
sees no conflict between her pro-life views as a Catholic and being a stalwart Democrat who has served 18 years in the state Legislature.
Hamilton, who represents South Oklahoma City, told Catholic News Service during a break this morning in the 2013 National Religious Freedom Conference
in Washington that her pro-life stance evolved over time after a "powerful religious experience" in the 1980s.
It helped, she said, that she became Catholic in 2002.
Hamilton has cemented her pro-life credentials in the Legislature in recent years despite vocal objections from fellow Democrats and other supporters of Democratic politics. She said one labor official told her to keep her beliefs in church and out of the state Legislature when she shepherded one pro-life measure to passage.
All this after Hamilton worked for a stint for the National Abortion Rights Action League in Oklahoma. Back then, she said, she was hardly religious.
These days, in addition to looking out for her district, Hamilton's focus is on threats to religious freedom that she sees emerging nationwide. She said it will take the Catholic community — a small minority in Oklahoma — working side by side with people of all faiths to be vigilant about legislative attempts to marginalize religious practice and educate the wider community that any threat to religion poses a threat to all.
One of her priorities: helping form a religious freedom caucus with other like-minded legislators to stop incursions on religious practice.
Hamilton was one of four panelists who discussed challenges to religious freedom during a conference session. She told the 150 people in attendance that her fear is that opponents of religion are becoming bolder in their attacks — verbal, through the courts and in state legislatures.
"You dehumanize a group enough, you marginalize a group enough, it becomes easy to do anything to them," she said.

Kevin Riley From Cal Added to Manning Award Watch List
Wednesday, July 21, 2010
The ninth quarterback added to the Manning Award Watch List is California standout Kevin Riley (official bio), the Pac-10's active leader in touchdown passes. Riley, who has thrown for 37 scores in his career, has also started three straight bowl games. The Manning Award, sponsored by the Allstate Sugar Bowl, is releasing the Watch List one player per day through its official Facebook and Twitter pages. The award has honored the top quarterback in the nation for the past six years.
Riley had a solid junior season, starting all 13 games and completing 209-of-382 passes (54.7%) for 2,850 yards with 18 touchdown tosses and eight interceptions as the Golden Bears advanced to the Pinsettia Bowl. One of his season highlights came against Minnesota as he engineered a pair of fourth-quarter touchdown drives (8 plays, 72 yards; 8 plays, 44 yards) for 14 points to turn a game that was tied 21-21 after three quarters into a 35-21 Cal win. Riley also threw for three touchdowns in back-to-back wins at UCLA and vs. Washington State, and registered a season-high 351 yards during a 23-21 win at Arizona State. He will be looking to start his senior campaign strong as the Bears welcome UC Davis to Memorial Stadium on Sept. 4.

Not funny: James Taranto twice wrongly claimed John Kerry based electoral fraud comments on jokes
For two consecutive days, Wall Street Journal OpinionJournal.com editor James Taranto has alleged in his daily "Best of the Web" column that Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) cited satirical or humor-based sources when he commented recently on instances of fraud in the 2004 general election. Taranto claimed that Kerry "embarrasses himself" by doing so, and referred to Kerry as "dense." But Kerry's comments were in fact based on real news reports of attempted fraud.
In his April 11 "Best of the Web" column [1], Taranto cited comments [2] Kerry made to a voter group in Massachusetts on April 10. Kerry said: "Last year too many people were denied their right to vote, too many who tried to vote were intimidated. ... Leaflets are handed out saying Democrats vote on Wednesday, Republicans vote on Tuesday. People are told in telephone calls that if you've ever had a parking ticket, you're not allowed to vote."
Taranto claimed that the source for Kerry's comments was "probably" an October 2004 article [3] from the Onion, a satirical publication, which mockingly reported that "Republican Party officials are urging blacks, Hispanics, and other minorities to make their presence felt at the polls on Wednesday, Nov. 3." Taranto went on to state: "Before Kerry embarrasses himself further, someone ought to take him aside and explain to him that the Onion is a satirical publication."
Taranto followed up on his allegation in the April 12 "Best of the Web" column [4]. Rather than noting his error, Taranto continued to attack Kerry and further expounded on the supposedly comical origin of Kerry's comments, claiming they may have originated from "Democratic joke[s]" told prior to the 2000 election by Air America Radio host Al Franken and comedian Bruce Vilanch. Taranto went on to ask: "How dense must Kerry be if he doesn't even get his own side's jokes?"
In fact, The Washington Post reported [5] on October 31, 2004, that potential Democratic voters received fliers instructing them to vote on the wrong day:
The college scam has also made an appearance in Pennsylvania, along with a separate scam last week in Allegheny County, where election officials received a flurry of phone calls about fliers handed out at a Pittsburgh area mall and mailed to an unknown number of homes. The flier, distributed on bogus but official-looking stationery with a county letterhead, told voters that "due to immense voter turnout expected on Tuesday," the election had been extended. Republicans should vote Tuesday, Nov. 2, it said -- and Democrats on Wednesday. A criminal investigation has been launched.
Additionally, a blogger on the web log DailyKos [6] posted the following on April 11, in response to Taranto's first column:
I spent 5 minutes on the Election Incident Reporting System web page [7] and found several (non-Onion) complaints that were in line with what Kerry has been talking about.

ignore the attempt at 3d, you can give me tips on shading for that too... I think its better than my last post, new "a"
ignore the attempt at 3d, you can give me tips on shading for that too... I think its better than my last post, new "a"
crits please
@JETZ still looks bad my dude, the bottom of your first three letters are too small, and like all the stuff inside the letters is real small so they just look kinda like blobs. the r is awful, i dont even know what to say about that. throwies are all about obvserving and practicing. just try and look at as many pictures of throwies as you can, and work on your lettering. obviously dont bite, but once you look through enough youll understand how the letters are formed. youve got a long way to go with that
@block Not a fan, the B is alright but i dont like the little B in the middle, the L doesnt really look like anything, the square o doesnt fit with the rest of your letters, the curve in the top part of the c looks weird, and the K just doesnt look like a k very much. i see you were tryin to go for the emphasis on like a stretched upper half of the letters and you were tryin to make that wavy side go throughout, but i dont think it works to well for those letters. the L and K especially need more emphasis on their bottom halves, otherwise they dont look right. the handstyle isnt terrible though i like that k
thanks ian yeah it was just my first attempt for Block because its a new name. ill work on some more styles soon
its angled wierd, the letters seem to get bigger, is that an N or an H, the A is eh, could work, and the C is massive.
^what he said, definately work on keeping your letters evenly sized, idk if that first letter is an s or a c. if its an s bring that bottom part around more, if its a c lose that all together, second letter is just like a rounded square with 2 lines, thats no good, the a could be good if you work on it, make it more like puffy if you know what im saying, and bring it out more from behind that second letter, and i dont even know whats goin on with that last letter, its a gigantic blob type thing with a nondescript line runnin through it. shit needs major work bro
hey im new to site give some crits
bottom one.
simple letters, but with some style and flow. do more of the same.
completely ditch the two above it though. trash.
Newt your letters always get bigger as they go you need to work on that
But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is
But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep
Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream
Crits please. Just want to get it better. First attempted throwie too.
bliz - try to fallow a pattern at the top for each letter and try straigtening the letters out first then add the curve to the proper spot if needed build a graph behind the letters
whoops my bad was thinkin grid lmao
what do u suggest for fixing the Z? All I could think is its kinda giant compared to the other letters

The Gibeonites and the house of Saul
And, first of all, the government of God, who forgets nothing, and with whom everything has its results, is recalled to David and to his people by means of the Gibeonites. It is no longer necessary for the establishment of God's economy that David should pursue the house of Saul. There is a righteous judgment, a moral principle of God, which is above all economies.
Saul in his formal and fleshly zeal, although it was for God, had not acted in the fear of God. It is this which especially distinguishes a godly zeal from a zeal for the outward interests of His kingdom. Saul forgets the oaths which Israel made to the Gibeonites. God remembers it, and does not despise the poor Gibeonites. David also recognises its obligation; after having inquired of Jehovah on account of the thrice repeated chastening upon Israel, he submits to the demand of the Gibeonites [1] . The whole house of Saul perishes, except the little remnant attached to David. With respect to the latter, the circumstances of Rizpah's touching and faithful affection awaken in David's heart the remembrance of brighter moments in poor Saul's career, and he pays the last honours to his memory. After this God was entreated for the land.
Valiant foes conquered by strength, or by faith alone
If with a sling and a stone faith can overthrow its enemies, the flesh is at fault before their attacks. David, when king, as we have clearly seen, gave himself up more to his lusts and to his own will than David suffering.
Nevertheless it is beautiful to see that, where faith has acted amid the people's ruin, it has stirred up many other instruments, who -- animated and encouraged by its success -- act fearlessly with the same power as that which wrought the first deliverance. It is well however to observe, that to conquer valiant foes, when all Israel was flushed with success and strengthened the hands of the mighty men, is a very different thing from the faith which reckons upon God, when strength and success are on the enemy's side and the people are fleeing before him. The latter was David's case with Goliath; the former, that of the men who slew the other giants.
However, in yielding to the Gibeonites, David did not consult Jehovah as to what he should do. We see the government of God as to Saul's house, and Saul's act towards those he had wronged; but though in its general character righteous and upright, had he consulted Jehovah, some happier way of being righteous might have been found.

Bye Bye California, Occidental Petroleum Moves Headquarters to Texas
Occidental Petroleum, which is so closely associated with California that its very name means 'western,' announced today it is moving its corporate headquarters to Texas, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Occidental, which is already a major player in the Eagle Ford, the Permian Basin, and other Texas energy plays, says it will move its headquarters from Los Angeles to Houston, where the company already has a major presence.
"Occidental Petroleum is the largest oil producer in Texas and one of the largest in the nation, so it seems only fitting that the company would locate its headquarters in Houston, the Energy Capital of the World," Gov. Rick Perry said. "The company's move is further evidence Texas has built the most dynamic, pro growth economy in the nation."
Occidental says it will spin off its California holdings, it is the largest natural gas producer in California, into a new company which will remain headquarters in Los Angeles.
The move will give Texas 53 Fortune 500 corporate headquarters, the most of any state in the country.

The Kelly Gang of bushrangers was formed in April 1878, following a confrontation at the Kelly family home at Greta, in the north-east of the colony of Victoria. After an argument with Constable Fitzpatrick, in which the policeman was slightly wounded, Edward (Ned) Kelly and his younger brother Dan took off to hide in the nearby Wombat Ranges. The brothers were soon joined by two of their friends, Joe Byrne and Steve Hart.

In the following months, police parties continued to pursue the Kelly brothers, not realising that their two companions had joined them. It was a standard police operation, with search parties combing the countryside and suspected friends and collaborators being questioned. Events took a new and dramatic turn, however, on 26 October 1878 when Ned Kelly and his three companions surprised a police party at a campsite near Stringybark Creek and ordered them to 'bail up'.
In the ensuing gun battle, three policemen – Sergeant Michael Kennedy, and Constables Thomas Lonigan and Michael Scanlan – were killed by the Kellys and their friends. A fourth officer, Constable Thomas McIntyre, managed to hide and later escaped unhurt.
Within days, the four members of what soon became known as 'the Kelly Gang' were declared to be outlaws. The police effort to apprehend the Kellys, an uncoordinated endeavour before these killings, was immediately intensified.
The hunt for the Kelly Gang was the biggest and most expensive police exercise in the history of the colony of Victoria, but it failed to produce quick results. Before long, with the usual means at its disposal failing, the police came under increasing pressure to adopt new strategies.
They transferred large contingents of extra police to the North-Eastern District of Victoria; forcibly detained Kelly 'sympathisers', to help dissuade local support; and activated police informers and spies.
One of the more interesting tactics, although not a new one, was the employment of Aboriginal men from Queensland to track the movement of the fugitives around the surrounding area, particularly in and out of the rugged terrain of the Wombat Ranges.
This use of Queensland Aborigines was not the preferred choice of the Victorian Police. The Chief Commissioner wanted to capture the Kelly Gang without the assistance of outside organisations. But following the Kelly Gang's daring and successful raid on the town of Jerilderie on 8 February 1879, it was clear that his police force could not cope with the situation and in fact did need such assistance.
It was while the Gang was hiding out in the Wombat Ranges that they had the idea of making their famous suits of armour. It is not known where the inspiration came from, but it has been suggested that Ned Kelly was familiar with the novel Lorna Doone, in which the outlaw heroes appear in iron armour. The armour may have been modelled on sets imported for a Chinese street parade in 1873, and probably seen by members of the gang in Beechworth.

The four suits of armour were used only once — at the final confrontation between the Gang and police at Glenrowan, on 28 June 1880. In the early hours of the morning, the four outlaws stood on the veranda of Mrs Jones's hotel and fired on the police surrounding the building. Later, Ned Kelly left the hotel wearing his armour and engaged in a final shoot-out with the police. He was captured alive after being brought to the ground with wounds to his legs. The other members of the Gang were killed in the siege. Dan Kelly and Steve Hart were dead before a fire consumed the hotel; it is unclear whether they had been shot by police or chose to commit suicide. Joe Byrne had died earlier from a bullet wound to the groin.
Ned Kelly was tried in Melbourne and executed on 11 November 1880 at the Old Melbourne Gaol. By a strange twist of fate, his mother was being held at the same prison, on a three-year sentence that had resulted from the same affray with Constable Fitzpatrick that had led to her son going into hiding.
After being captured by the police, the four sets of Kelly armour had divergent histories. Joe Byrne's set was given away a couple of days after the Glenrowan siege. The three remaining sets were initially retained by Victoria Police and were possibly mixed up. One set was transferred to the Trustees of the State Library and went on display at the Aquarium until the mid-1950s. This set is still held by the Library and is now on display at Melbourne Museum. The other remaining sets are also on public display: one at the Old Melbourne Gaol, the other in the Victoria Police Museum.

The Kelly Gang was made up of the four members discussed above who were either captured or died at Glenrowan. Other associates of the gang seem to have been involved in their activities to some extent, including Tom Lloyd, who some consider was a fifth member of the gang, but was not implicated at Glenrowan. For further information check out some of the many websites devoted to the Kelly Gang!
Hi Tom, you might find that the State Library of Victoria may be able to point you in the the direction of some useful resources. Also consider contacting the Old Melbourne Gaol, http://www.oldmelbournegaol.com.au/old_melbourne_gaol, and come face to face with Ned Kelly's death mask!
Hi Barb. We were unable to find any of McIntyre's papers online and we suggest that you contact the Police Museum. The staff there should be able to advise you if you can obtain a copy online or otherwise.
Hi Matthew, The names of the "official" members of the Kelly Gang are given above: Ned Kelly, Dan Kelly (Ned's brother), Joe Byrne and Steve Hart. Two others have been reported as "part-time" members of the gang: Tom Lloyd Jr. and Aaron Sherritt. There were also other associates. We hope this is helpful.
Hi Kim, Thank you for your comment. We would suggest that you contact one of following for primary sources: the National Library of Australia, the State Library of Victoria or the Public Records Office of Victoria. Hope this helps.
Hi Jack,
You could contact the Mansfield Historical Society, as their members share an interest in local history and may be able to talk with you. Their email and telephone contact details can be found here.
The State Library of Victoria has many Kelly Gang artefacts and resources within their collection. You can learn more here.
Hi Bree,
You do have an interesting question and you find find the answer in the information sheet above. Good luck with your school project. All the best.
Hi Jessica,Just before he was hanged Kelly wrote to the governor of the Melbourne Gaol asking "permission for my friends to have my body that they might bury it in consecrated ground". We have no information about him requesting a memorial.You may want to read his Australian Dictionary of Biography entry, or contact the State Library of Victoria as they have an excellent Kelly collection.
Hi Chloe,
He and his gang used guns for about four robberies. Ned probably committed more horse thieving than holdups. Reliable reports of his crimes can be read found in the Australian Dictionary of Biography.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.
