When does a baseball team need special permission to honor it's greatest player's greatest achievement?
When the player is Pete Rose.
The Cincinnati Reds asked for and received the green light from Major League baseball to mark the 25th anniversary of Rose's breaking the all-time record for hits. Charlie Hustle pushed aside the great Ty Cobb on Sept. 11, 1985 to become baseball's all time leader in hits. Rose can't make the initially scheduled game because he is already committed to appear at a Kentucky casino. So the Reds will do it on Sunday, Sept. 12.
U.S. & World
"The Reds are celebrating every phase of the 25th anniversary. We approved the request on a one-time basis," Major League Baseball spokesman Patrick Courtney said
In 1989, Rose was banned from baseball for gambling. He has not been allowed to hold old an MLB-related job or even appear at charity events on behalf of pro baseball. He did get an exemption to be recognized as a member of baseball's All-Century team during the 1999 World Series in Atlanta.
Rose petitioned MLB Commissioner Bud Selig for reinstatement in 1997. Selig has not formally ruled on the request, saying last July the matter remained under review.
Rose, who is now 69, has also not been admitted into the Hall of Fame, although he would have been an automatic selection if not for his scandal. After breaking Cobb's record of 4,191 hits, Rose went on to finish with 4,256.

SARATOGA SPRINGS -- Steinway & Sons, along with Yamaha, Baldwin, Bechstein and Steck, were bundled up, mounted on dollies and rolled down an icy path into their new home on the Skidmore College campus Monday morning. They were among 22 pianos and other equipment that will be relocated this week from the college's Filene Music Building to the $32.5 million Arthur Zankel Music Center next door in preparation for the new building's opening later this month. At 54,000 square feet, the music center doubles the space in Filene and can seat an audience of 600 people in its Ladd Concert Hall in the south wing. A distinctive glass-paneled second auditorium can hold 100 for rehearsals or lectures, and offices, sound-proofed classrooms and practice rooms round out the north end. The building was funded primarily through a gift from the late Arthur Zankel, a parent of two Skidmore graduates. College officials heralded the Zankel Center as a boon for the music department and a reflection of its growth during the last 40 years. "It gives us a wonderful hall that allows us to have audiences that are worthy of the (world-class) guest artists that we bring in. Now we'll be able to accommodate all the people we want rather than turn them away," said Music Department chair Tom Denny, a 30-year member of the faculty. He said the department's profile, size and programming have snowballed in recent decades. Filene Music Building was opened in 1968 and was built to support a five-member faculty and a student body of about 1,000, officials said. Today, Denny oversees about 35 faculty members and counts 20 graduating music majors each year. Programming has been expanded to accommodate growing enrollment and vice versa, he said. For example, the number of music majors offered has doubled in recent years and the department has gradually built a 70-piece orchestra and added several ensemble groups. A powerful recruiting tool for the department has been Filene Foundation scholarships, which provide music students with a total of $160,000 annually, Denny said. Construction on the music center started in 2007 and work is expected to be complete by the time classes resume on Jan. 25, Skidmore officials said. A formal opening of the building is planned for fall 2010. Monday's move into the new building precedes a round of scheduled layoffs at the college, part of the administration's effort to balance its budget for the 2011 fiscal year, which begins in June 2010. The number of positions cut is likely to be lower than 70; firmer numbers should be available in February, spokeswoman Andrea Wise said. It's unclear when the layoffs will go into effect, or which departments they will impact. In the future, the Zankel center is intended to expand opportunities for professional musicians and instructors to visit from throughout the region and attract community groups like the Saratoga Performing Arts Center to share the venue. "That will be a new kind of synergy between the college and the community," Denny said. "It will be a happening place." The Zankel center will house SaratogaArtsFest events in June. Upcoming performances by The Klezmatics and the Ying Quartet will kick off the spring 2010 concert series in February. And after some fine tuning, Skidmore's fleet of pianos -- each of which can weigh 600 pounds or more -- will be ready to play in the music center's inauguration concert on Friday, Feb. 5. Ensemble ACJW will play at 8 p.m. The concert is free and open to the public.

Gregg Popovich doesn't believe in 'happy' during Spurs games
David Aldridge, please understand this: Gregg Popovich is not happy. It's not that he's unhappy. It's that he's not happy because there are things more important to consider than happiness.
David Aldridge, you of TNT's NBA sideline interviews, please understand that Gregg Popovich doesn't think it's appropriate to be happy during San Antonio Spurs games. There's coaching to be done. There's winning to be done.
Basketball is not for happiness.
VIDEO:Tim Duncan blocks Kevin Durant
GOOFY:Kendrick Perkins learns basketball
In other words, Popovich had another one of his awesome sideline interviews before the fourth quarter of Thursday's Spurs-Oklahoma City Thunder game. These things are so common SB Nation put together a best-of list.
"Happy? Happy? Happy's not a word we think about in the game," Popovich explained to Aldridge, who handled it all like a champion. "Think of something different. I don't know how to judge 'happy.' We're in the middle of a contest. Nobody's happy."
Here's the video:
The Spurs won 86-84 on a buzzer-beating jump shot by Tony Parker. Maybe Popovich is happy now.
Probably not.

Picture it: Homecoming is tomorrow. You bought the perfect dress. You hired a photographer. Your house is spotless. The "Welcome Home" banner is positioned. You have a few saucy items from Victoria's Secret tucked away. After missing your husband for the past however many months, you're bursting at the seams to run into his arms and kiss him until you can't see straight. This joyful phase of reuniting belongs to you and your man.
Or does it?
What happens if your in-laws want to be there to welcome their favorite servicemember home? Shouldn't you include them in the homecoming festivities?
On one hand, you are the spouse. You are the one whose life was turned upside down by the deployment. You had to become a single parent. You had to do all the yard work. You had to sleep alone. You had to worry about whether or not the most important person in your life was coming home. Your title as spouse, your job on the homefront, your many sacrifices all earned you the right to keep this special time to yourself. In cases like this, it's perfectly acceptable to be selfish.
You and your husband need time alone to get to know each other, to become a family again without the added stress of having to host other people. Reintegration is filled with overwhelming changes for everyone. Having extended family around would do nothing but add to the list of overwhelming adjustments.
And do I even need to mention that you probably want some privacy to get your money's worth out those Victoria's Secret goodies?
However, on the flip side, your in-laws love your husband too. Although they didn't make as many sacrifices on a daily basis as you did during the deployment, they still lost sleep worrying. They've also missed him for however many months. They made the time and effort to send letters and care packages. They felt stressed and helpless. Don't they deserve to be present at homecoming and share the days that follow too? What's the big deal sharing a few days with his parents when you get him all to yourself once they leave?
We recently asked this very question about in-laws at homecomings on our Facebook page, and we got lots of mixed answers. While most of our readers seem to favor the "just us" homecoming approach, many readers prefer the inclusion of the whole clan of loved ones. Others advise asking the servicemember what he prefers, but still others warn that asking him to choose between you and his mother is too much pressure the poor guy just doesn't need.
So what do you think? Should in-laws be a part of homecoming? Would you want your in-laws at homecoming?

TEXAS – The Air Force announced Wednesday that two training instructors at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas were referred to special courts-martial in a growing sexual misconduct scandal.
Master Sgt. Jamey Crawford was accused of wrongfully conducting a sexual relationship with a basic trainee and other offenses. Allegations against Tech. Sgt. Christopher Smith included wrongfully making sexual advances toward a trainee.
Their trial dates have not yet been set.
A dozen instructors have been suspected of assaulting female recruits.
Allegations of sexual misconduct between instructors and cadets began there last summer, and the Pentagon has ordered a comprehensive strategic review of the entire Air Force training community.
The widespread criminal investigation is looking into the possibility that cases of sexual misconduct extend beyond Lackland.
Investigators are looking at four Air Force bases in two states.
Since allegations of misconduct began, 35 military instructors have been removed from their posts. Four have been accused.
Sgt. Luis Walker, one of the accused instructors, pleaded not guilty and faces court-martial. He's charged with raping or sexually assaulting 10 recruits between October 2010 and January 2011.
The Air Force says it's being fully transparent.
"I want the public to know what's going on," said Lackland's Col. Glenn Palmer. "I don't want the possibility of someone saying, 'Well look – they're trying to cover it up.'"
The investigation comes as Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced wider plans to deal with the issue.
In April, he said, "We will continue to develop our strategies. We'll continue to devote our energy and our intention to enforcing our department's zero-tolerance policy on sexual assault."
On Capitol Hill, lawmakers such as Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., want to investigate the matter further with a hearing of their own.
"Congress has known about this problem in the military for 25 years," she said in an interview broadcast on "CBS This Morning" Wednesday. "We've had lots of hearings, lots of reports. But are we willing to step up and do the right thing by taking it out of the chain of command so the victims really have the freedom to report these crimes and feel that they are not going to be marginalized and labeled and then dismissed from the military?"
This could be the worst sexual misconduct scandal to hit the military since a similar case involving the Army in Aberdeen, Md., in 1996.
On Wednesday, victims of military sexual assault planned to lobby members of Congress seeking support for legislation sponsored by Speier called the Stop Act. It would take probes of military sexual assault away from commanders and put them in the hands of a separate military unit.

James Hoggan | January 18, 2007
By James Hoggan • Thursday, January 18, 2007 - 17:38
Two of the three Directors on the board of the Natural Resources Stewardship Project are senior executives of the High Park Advocacy Group, a Toronto-based lobby firm that specializes in "energy, environment and ethics."
Timothy Egan, is the president of the High Park Advocacy Group, and a registered lobbyist for the Canadian Gas Association and the Canadian Electricity Association. Julio Legos is the High Park Group's Director of Regulatory Affairs, whose biography says, "Julio's practice at HPG is focused on federal and provincial energy and environmental law and policy, particularly as they affect Canadian industry."
The Executive Director of the NRSP, Tom Harris, is also a former High Park consultant, and the NRSP mailing address is in the building where, until recently, High Park maintained its Toronto offices.
It appears that High Park has taken a page from the APCO-Worldwide playbook. APCO is the PR and lobbying firm that created a "grassroots" organization called The Advancement of Sound Science Coalition (TASSC) on behalf of tobacco giant Philip Morris in the 1990s. In that situation, Steve Milloy "quit" APCO to set up a pro-tobacco website called www.JunkScience.com. Milloy later took over as executive director of TASSC and continues, today, to lobby against smoking restrictions. Documents, since made public, show that APCO established TASSC specifically to create the appearance of an arm's length organization supporting tobacco's cause.
In this instance, the creation of the NRSP as an "arm's length" "grassroots" organization also enabled High Park and to avoid identifying who is paying for the NRSP's public campaign against climate change regulations. The federal government's own website makes this kind of "grassroots" lobbying subject to the restrictions of the Lobbyists' Registration Act (subject to an important loophole).
The Question and Answer section under the General Registration Requirements of the act states:
"4. What is "grass-roots" lobbying?
"Grass-roots lobbying is a communications technique that encourages individual members of the public or organizations to communicate directly with public office holders in an attempt to influence the decisions of government. Such efforts primarily rely on use of the media or advertising, and result in mass letter writing and facsimile campaigns, telephone calls to public office holders, and public demonstrations."
(Here, for the record, is a recent example of the NRSP's Tom Harris doing just that.)
But setting up a separate organization allows High Park to claim an exception, also to be found in the Q&A section of the General Registration Requirements:
"5. I am involved in organizing and directing a grass-roots lobbying campaign. Do I have to register?
"If you are a registered lobbyist, you must report grass-roots lobbying as a communications technique. If you are not engaged in any registerable lobbying activity, it is not necessary to register for the grass-roots lobbying campaign."
Thus, by removing himself from the High Park employee list and taking an office across the hall (the NRSP mailing address is #2-263 Roncesvalles Avenue, in Toronto; High Park's address was, until very recently, #4-263 Roncesvalles Avenue) Tom Harris is able to carry out any direction Timothy Egan may be giving in this "grassroots" campaign against energy industry regulation without fulfilling what the Lobbyist act describes as the "obligation to provide accurate information to public office holders and to disclose the identity of the person or organization on whose behalf the representation is made and the purpose of the representation."
The federal Lobbyists Registry was created specifically so that politicians and members of the public can know who is paying to influence the political decision-making process. To that end, the federal government's Lobbyist Code of Conduct says:
"1. Identity and purpose
"Lobbyists shall, when making a representation to a public office holder, disclose the identity of the person or organization on whose behalf the representation is made, as well as the reasons for the approach."
But Tom Harris is not technically a lobbyist and Timothy Egan and Julio Legos may well be "volunteering" their time as directors of the NRSP.
So, Egan is a registered lobbyist for the Canadian Gas Association, which is part of an energy industry coalition that includes the Canadian Nuclear Association, the Canadian Association of Oil Well Drilling Contractors, the Canadian Energy Alliance, the Propane Gas Association of Canada, Inc., the Petroleum Services Association of Canada, the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP), the Canadian Petroleum Products Institute, the Canadian Energy Pipeline Association and the Coal Association of Canada, (as well as some conservation and alternative energy interests such as the Canadian Energy Efficiency Alliance, the Canadian Wind Energy Association and Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Canada). But while a paid apologist for this fossil-fuel-dominated group directs NRSP operations, and while the NRSP's stated purpose is to block government action on climate change - the Canadian public has no right to ask who's paying the bills for the NRSP campaign.
That may be legal, but it doesn't seem right.

Not a journalist, just a loser. The NRSP have science behind them and lobby about the science, not with personal smear campaigns. Stick to the science Jim.. if you have any!!

Yes, and let's not demand standards or accountability in engineering or health any more either. this nonsense about smoking affecting health—-who cares if the guy happens to be on contract from a cigarette Co.? Revealing that is a personal attack. And also I don't see why a handy guy who knows construction can't design the new bridge to replace to one that fell down. Saying no just because he never went to University is just a nasty personal attack on a guy who might have done a good job, just so engineers can keep their salaries.

previous comment by Tom Harris
"I completely agree with fourhorses that the ultimate aim is to create a situation where the CPC can say assertively, "The science no longer supports the assumptions of the Kyoto Accord."
However, politically this cannot be done overnight without the Conservatives taking what they consider to be an unacceptable hit (do people think they would really lose votes with this statement (from Canadians who would otherwise vote for them, that is?).
So, the solution put on this site a little while ago by Tina is one I would support as well - namely, they don't take sides at all and admit they don't know and so are holding unbiased, public hearings in which scientists from both sides are invited to testify. The resulting chaos, with claims all over the map, will do enough to thoroughly confuse everyone (which is appropriate, actually, since the science is so immature and, frankly, confusing) and take the wind out of the sails of the "we are causing a climate disaster and must stop it" camp entirely, and the CPC can quietly turn to important issues without really having had to say much at all.
What's wrong with this approach?

I find it amazing, that rather than debunk the "deniers" using scientific evidence, the response is to attack the messenger. No matter who Tom works for, teh one thing that cannot be denied,is Co2 is not now, nor has it ever been, a bad thing. It most certainly is not causing any rise in earths temperature.
Oh and Tom? there is nothing wrong with your approach at all.

OK then, sounds like the PeaPod is pretty much unchanged from Speer's last models ( and mine ). So I guess the experiences I have had ( stated above) with mine should be pretty identical with the new ones, though YMMV. And my experience is pretty much like TTTG ( and Speer ) had rated them: 20F NOMINALLY. Meaning never a problem for me to be warm with pod alone at 20F on the bottom. And at least with the right hammock and some warm clothing that I would have with me any way, no trouble ON TOP in the 30s and OK in high 20s. But not quite as warm ON TOP with some wider or deeper hammocks, more likely to need a light TQ. Add a TQ on top or bottom, and/or a space blanket and spare clothing or even a pad to the bottom under the hammock, then you can go much colder. The only limitation is when you run out of room to add stuff.
Time to remind folks of my friend who has a summer 55F rated down PeaPod which he has used for our last several trips. He has used this repeatedly in the mid 20s-30s, and been toasty warm and comfortable. He usually adds a pad under the hammock, or a space blanket, and a (30f?) TQ and is always very happy with the results.

A midcareer "failure" for a Palo Alto woman sparked a new trajectory that's helping local housekeepers, gardeners, waiters and home health aides to go to community college.
Elizabeth Weal left the high-tech world in her 40s to get a teaching credential, but "was not a success" as a fifth-grade teacher at Garfield Elementary School in Menlo Park. However she quickly found a niche at a school across the street the Sequoia Adult School teaching evening classes in English as a Second Language.
"These were amazing people, and I got this incredible sense that this is where I belonged," Weal said in an interview this week. "It was totally the opposite of the fifth graders, who were the children of these people I was enamored with."
Weal fell in love with the work and with her students. Ultimately, she wrote and self-published a series of simple, basic English grammar and writing textbooks after realizing her students needed guidance in their native Spanish and nothing was to be had.
Friendships with her students nearly all of them low-wage workers then led her to a new step: raising funds to help them take classes in community college.
This fall, 69 of them are enrolled at Canada College with small stipends from her recently registered nonprofit, Sequoia Adult School Scholars.
"These are people who really have no extra money," she said. "My idea was that if we can make this free, people would go."
Since most of the students have day jobs, they're not going to school full-time, just taking a class or two. Weal hopes some of them will complete the ESL sequence and work toward a certificate.
"One guy is a construction worker going for a certificate in kitchen and bath design," Weal said. "Another works at the counter at The Cheesecake Factory and wants to be a preschool teacher.
Weal recalled taking her Sequoia ESL students on a field trip to Canada College: "It was a gorgeous campus, and people were walking around with their mouths open 'I can go here? This is for me?' It was a real eye-opening experience."
A grant from the Silicon Valley Community Foundation provides a part-time adviser at the adult school to help students apply for community college, and Weal's group offers $64-a-month bus passes or parking passes and help with textbooks.
East Palo Alto resident Nely Perez worked full time often seven days a week in a Burlingame car wash in her 12 years since arriving from Mexico, where she was a secretary in a law office.
While working 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the car wash, Perez said, "I didn't have time to study. I never attended school, but in January I said, 'No, I need to prepare. I need to go to school. I like to study.'"
Her husband, a construction worker, encouraged her and, with a parking pass and textbooks paid for by Sequoia Adult School Scholars, Perez is taking three English classes at Canada.
She wants to be able to help her 8-year-old daughter with her homework.
"The only thing I need is somebody with whom I can speak English because at home everybody speaks Spanish," Perez said. After speaking English all day at work and school, her husband and daughter prefer to speak Spanish at home, she said.
Weal continues to sell her $10 textbooks 11,000 of them so far through Amazon.com and out of her garage, and she's no longer losing money.
"Obviously I'm not supporting myself in Palo Alto with these books, but more and more the sales are going up," she said. "I am making money not a lot of money."
She's found a market in neighborhood organizations, churches and groups with names like Adelante Mujeres (Forward Women), where ESL classes are taught.
"People send in money orders for a book," she said. "One guy from East Palo Alto came to my house with cash for a book."
Weal stores 1,500 books in her garage and Amazon prints them on demand, which she calls "a pretty unsexy way to print books.
"My husband says, 'Aren't you sick of packing boxes of books?' and I say 'No, I'm incredibly happy to do this.'
"It's great to be making books that make a difference."

During my play through of role-playing game Hyperdimension Neptunia I am delighted to welcome a new character into my party, but the NIS America-inspired Nisa won't fight with me or gain experience. She just sits there, until I pay.
Nisa is one of two game developer-inspired characters (along with Gust) that join your party on a pay-to-play basis in Hyperdimension Neptunia, a role-playing collaboration by some of Japan's top RPG makers for the PlayStation 3. After running into the characters on several occasions, both eventually decide to join up, accompanied by one of every RPG fans' favorite phrases, "XXX has joined your party."
But they aren't actually joining. Sure, they're both listed in your party roster, but you can't do anything with them until you go to the PlayStation store and buy their activation packs for $1.99 apiece. Until then they sit in your start menu, not doing a damn thing.
Once you pay the fee for Nisa or Gust a file is downloaded to your console, likely containing the skill and equipment information needed to integrate them into your party. Restart the game and you can add them to your line-up, outfit them in the latest equipment, and start lugging them around while they level up (they both start as level one characters.)
I understand that NIS is somewhat downloadable content crazy. Each new release is followed by piles of character enhancement packs, costumes, new missions, and other such game-enhancing fluff. They even release new missions free-of-charge as a service to their devoted customers. This is just taking things a bit too far.
Gust and Nisa are not hidden characters. They show up on the back of the game's box. There are wallpapers of them at the official website. I was under the impression that both were playable characters in the game. Not a pair of placeholders filling spots inn your group roster until you drop $1.99 to set them free.
Sure, Hyperdimension Neptunia is just an obscure role-playing game for the PS3 aimed at a very narrow audience, but it sets a dangerous precedent. Square Enix already loves to nickel-and-dime players with downloadable content (its WiiWare titles are some of the only Wii games with DLC). How long before we have to pay to unlock new characters in Final Fantasy?
I've reached out to NIS America for comment on this story, and will update should they respond.
Update:An NIS America representative responded to my inquiry with the following statement:
"Unlocking characters through DLC is nothing new to our games. The difference for this time is that the additional characters are already in the game. Having these characters already in the game will help players attach to the characters, and if the players would like to play the characters they have options to download the DLC to unlock them.
Having these characters in the party is like a tease."
So yes, basically they are in the game to urge you to purchase them. That doesn't help the situation feel any better, but at least we know the motivation behind it.

The "Non-persistent online change" function" can be used to transfer individual changes in the user programs to the control system. Now Pilz provides this function in the automation system PSS 4000 also for safety applications. Users will save time, because there is no need to compile and load the whole program during commissioning. The function is a component of release 13 of the automation system PSS 4000. Among the further innovations there is a device interface for communication with Profinet networks.
Ostfildern, Jan 14, 2016
Release 13 of the automation system PSS 4000 from Pilz enables changes at runtime for safety applications – "Online Change" for safe automation for the first time
User programs and software blocks of a control system are often only put through final testing during commissioning, during which they undergo multiple modifications. The "non-persistent online change" function now allows individual changes to be fed into one or more control systems of the automation system PSS 4000 without it being necessary to compile and load the entire program. One entirely new feature is that this function is
now also available for safety-related applications.
The changes are fed in without stopping the control system – the new program becomes active on the head modules with the next possible clock cycle after downloading. The changes apply for a maximum of 12 hours or until the control system is next restarted, so they are not permanent (non-persistent). If the changes are not accepted, the control system re‑establishes the status of the last complete download.
As well as simplifying and accelerating commissioning, the function improves the handling of safety in hectic commissioning processes.
The "non-persistent online change" function is available for all control systems of the automation system PSS 4000. Pilz thus advances the convergence of safety and automation in automation systems: the user works with a single tool for both spheres. It is available for use from the new firmware Release 13.
Communication stack for PROFINET
Other new features in Release 13 include the device interface for communication with PROFINET networks. Pilz has integrated PROFINET into the devices as a communication stack. This cuts inventory costs and reduces the range of types because this approach makes it possible to use the same hardware to operate different communication connections, including UDP RAW, Modbus/TCP, Ethernet/IP and now also PROFINET, merely with a change in the configuration. Users do not need a specific device type – one PLC head module can be used for universal access to the various communication systems.

Tiger Woods and the Swedish model who gave birth to his two children have signed off on a divorce that could leave her with as much as a half-billion dollars.
The golf superstar and Elin Nordegren were in Bay County Circuit Court in Panama City, Fla., Monday for the execution of their divorce agreement. The pair had been headed for a split since a bitter Thanksgiving night fight and subsequent revelations of Woods' extramarital affairs.
"We are sad that our marriage is over and we wish each other the very best for the future," they said in a statement released by Nordegren's Virginia-based law firm of McGuireWoods. "While we are no longer married, we are the parents of two wonderful children and their happiness has been, and will always be, of paramount importance to both of us."
"Once we came to the decision that our marriage was at an end, the primary focus of our amicable discussions has been to ensure their future well-being. The weeks and months ahead will not be easy for them as we adjust to a new family situation, which is why our privacy must be a principal concern."
The couple married in Barbados in 2004.
Terms of the split were not released, but according to court docs the pair signed a settlement agreement on July 3 and July 4. In addition, Woods' ex had her maiden name restored to Elin Maria Pernilla Nordegren when the split was finalized.
Woods' net worth has been estimated at nearly $1 billion. Prior to their public split and a string of women coming forward to say they've had affairs with Woods, he commanded north of $100 million per year in endorsements and purses. But in the months since he underwent rehabilitation at a clinic known for treating sex addiction, Woods has seen sponsors retreat and his play has suffered mightily.
Nordegren, 30, could receive anywhere from $100 million in assets to as much as five times that figure, according to various reports. Sources told People magazine that custody was the key issue for both, and that the couple wanted to share custody of their two children, Sam Alexis, 3, and Charlie Axel, 1.
Included in Florida court papers with the divorce filing were certificates that showed both parents completed four-hour Florida parenting classes.
Sources told People that although Nordegren had signed a prenuptial agreement, it was renegotiated after the sex scandal. She has reportedly bought property in her homeland and sought refuge in the support of her family.
"The marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken," Nordegren wrote in her court petition.
Woods, who has struggled in several tournaments since ending a self-imposed, five-month hiatus, is scheduled to play this week at The Barclays, in Paramus, N.J.

Democracy is arguably the greatest political buzzword of our time and is invoked by political leaders, corporations and citizens alike– but what does it mean? Can it be defined, measured, safeguarded? Can it be sold, bought, and transplanted? Can it grow? Can it die? What does it mean to people who can't even talk about it? What does it mean to people who don't believe in it? And what does it mean to you?
In October 2007, ten one-hour films focused on contemporary democracy and its underlying values were broadcast in the world's largest ever factual media event. More than 48 broadcasters on all continents participated, airing the films in over 181 countries.
In the 10 years since WHY DEMOCRACY? launched, global politics has rapidly evolved; with corruption, globalisation and rising violence becoming increasing prevalent. As these forces threaten to undermine established democratic structures around the world WHY DEMOCRACY? films are more relevant than ever -serving an urgent reminder that citizens fundamental right to engage in politics is core for democracy to flourish.

What do Danish cartoons tell us about contemporary democracy?
Bloody Cartoons is a documentary about how and why drawings in a Danish provincial paper could whirl a small country into a confrontation with Muslims all over the world. He asks whether respect for Islam combined with the heated response to the cartoons is now leading us towards self-censorship. How tolerant should we be of the intolerant? And what limits should there be, if any, to freedom of speech in a democracy?
Can a candidate with no political experience and no charisma win an election with the backing of influential people?
In the fall of 2005, 40-year-old, self-employed Kazuhiko "Yama-san" Yamauchi's peaceful, humdrum life was turned upside-down. Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) had suddenly chosen him as its official candidate to run for a vacant seat on the Kawasaki city council. Yama-san had zero experience in politics, no charisma, no supporters, no constituency, and no time to prepare for the impending election. The election was critical for the LDP. Adhering to the campaign tactic of "bowing to everybody, even to telephone poles," Yama-san visits local festivals, kindergarten sports events, senior gatherings, commuter train stations, and even bus stops to offer his hand to every one he sees. Can Yama-san win this heated race? Through its candid, cinema-verite style camerawork, this rare, detailed documentary of a Japanese election reveals the true nature of "democracy."
What are the implications for democracy in Pakistan when secular political parties have succumbed to the Islamic agenda?
What does it mean when the army appears to be the only force able to contain the opponents of democracy, the armed Islamists? The former President of Pakistan Musharraf agrees to explore this apparent contradiction over dinner at his official residence, the Army House. As the discussion moves in and out of the different worlds in Pakistan, a complex tapestry emerges, revealing a society unique yet universal. The filmmaker talks to diverse individuals, from labourers to intellectuals, from street vendors to religious right wing political party members, and from journalists to industrialists. What is their idea of democracy in Pakistan? What is their idea of President Musharraf's vision of a modern Pakistan? Dinner With the President questions the role a military leader can play in guiding a state towards modern democracy.
What role can ordinary citizens play in shaping democracy in Egypt?
In his 2005 State of the Union address President George W. Bush cites Egypt as the country that will pave the way for democracy in the Middle East. Three women, unable to sit by while their country is on the brink of drastic change, start a grassroots movement to educate and empower the public by raising awareness about the meaning of democracy. They name their campaign Shayfeen.com, which means to "we are watching you." This film follows the highs and lows of the first year of the movement in Egypt. Insisting that only the people can make change happen, their goal is to educate the Egyptian public on what it takes to build the most basic pillars of democracy: demanding basic human rights, freedom of speech and the establishment of an independent judiciary. Egypt: We are Watching You shows the role ordinary citizens can play in shaping and securing their democracy.
Can life in Russia's 'village of fools' make you more patriotic?
Mikhail Morozov is a Russian patriot, good Christian and successful businessman. He owns Durakovo – the "Village of Fools" – 100 km southwest of Moscow. People come here from all over Russia to learn how to live and become true Russians. When they join the Village of Fools, the new residents abandon all their former rights and agree to obey Mikhail Morozov's strict rules. he whole spectrum of state power – political, spiritual and administrative – gather in the village for semi-private meetings with Morozov. They discuss the future of Russia, their ambitions and their goals. For God, Tsar and Fatherland shows what drives Russian patriotism today and why they are against democracy.
Can Ghandi's influence still be found in the modern India: the world's largest democracy?
In the early decades of the twentieth century Mahatma Gandhi's legacy of non-violent revolution or Satyagraha inspired a mass movement of millions of Indians to rise up against the British colonial state and successfully agitate for the establishment of a democratic and free India. In 007, the country is preparing to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of its existence as an independent nation. But what kind of a democracy does India have today? What does it actually mean to live in the world's largest democracy? In road-movie style the film crew travels down the famous trail of Gandhi's salt march, the remarkable mass campaign that galvanized ordinary Indians to join the non-violent struggle for democracy and freedom almost a century ago. Stopping at the same villages and cities, where Gandhi and his followers had raised their call for independence, the film documents the stories of ordinary citizens in India today. Although inspired by a historical event In Search of Gandhi is not a journey back in time. Instead, it is a search for the present and future of democracy in India.
Can the first freely elected female head of state in Africa manage to rebuild a country ravaged by war?
With unprecedented access, this intimate documentary goes behind the scenes with Africa's first freely elected female head of state, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, president of Liberia. The film explores the challenges facing the new president and the extraordinary women surrounding her as they develop and implement policy to rebuild their ravaged country and prevent a descent back into civil war.
Will Bolivian president Evo Morales ever be able to deliver on his promise of a Guevara-style revolution?
Pressed by the masses who gave him a massive mandate, the first indigenous president, ex-coca leaf farmer Evo Morales has nationalised the oil industry and passed laws on agrarian reform. All the election speeches, which resulted in his landslide victory, sounded quite revolutionary, as did the iconography. But a closer look reveals that corruption, nepotism and old-fashioned populism are at the core of this movement. The landowners and the indigenous movement are still wrestling for power and neither has claimed victory yet. Ultimately, the search for the revolution that Che Guevara tried to start in Bolivia is now in Morales' hands.
An election to class monitor begs the question; could democracy ever work in China?
Wuhan is a city in central China about the size of London, and it is here that director Weijun Chen has conducted an experiment in democracy. A grade 3 class at Evergreen Primary School has their first encounter with democracy by holding an election to select a Class Monitor. Eight-year-olds compete against each other for the coveted position, abetted and egged on by teachers and doting parents. Elections in China take place only within the Communist Party, but recently millions of Chinese voted in their version of Pop Idol. The purpose of Weijun Chen's experiment is to determine how, if democracy came to China, it would be received. Is democracy a universal value that fits human nature? Do elections inevitably lead to manipulation? Please Vote for Me is a portrait of a society and a town through a school, its children and its families
Can terrorism destroy democracy?
This documentary explores the American military's use of torture by focusing on the unsolved murder of an Afghan taxi driver who, in 2002, was taken for questioning at Bagram Force Air Base. Five days later, the man was dead. The medical examiner claimed the driver died from excessive physical abuse. Taking this case as a jumping-off point, the film examines wider claims of torture that occurred at bases like Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay during the Bush administration.
What does democracy look like through a child's eyes?
The film depicts the three stages of democracy as seen through the eyes of a girl growing up in Kenya. The Kenyatta Era was a time of great optimism and post-independence euphoria. It was followed by the era of dictatorship under Daniel arap Moi, and finally the ushering in of a third president, Mwai Kibaki. But after the disputed election results in December 2007 and the resultant violent civil strife and the death of hundreds, we are left wondering if democracy can ever truly come of age.
What are the secret to success of the longest serving Afrikaan news reader?

In the context of South Africa's spectacular transformation to democracy, Riaan explains how his professional ethics have kept him in the news readers seat.
What effect did the 7/7 London Bombings have on local's attitude to foreign integration?
In an environment of imminent terrorist threat, this film unravels the complex attitudes people have towards ethnic minorities and the anxieties both parties have suffered since the London bombings of 7/7/05. Misconceptions and stereotypes persist as we follow one woman on her route to a job interview and the silent hostilities ash encounters as a Muslim.
Can changing Tehran's sexist segregation on buses have a wider impact on gender equality across Iran?
In the male dominated society of Iran, Farahnaz Shiri, the first female bus driver in Tehran, has made her own little society in her bus. In Iran there are different sections for men and women on public buses. But in Mrs. On Shiri's bus, everything is vice versa. In her bus, women are made to feel empowered and enjoy the privilege of freely debating their position in Iranian society. Mrs. Shiri's struggle to prove herself in this society provides a fascinating insight into gender and power in the close space of a public bus.
What impact can a pirate radio have on Italian democracy?
Interfernze explores the intriguing story of what became known as the Telestreet network through the personal experience of the members of Orfeo TV. Operating as a pirate station, the movement aims to give the voiceless the airspace to make themselves heard. The anti-establishment campaign uses civil disobedience as a tool in the quest for democratizing Italy's airwaves.
Can the internet change civic participation in the poorest democracies all over the world?

What can a children's basketball game teach us about leadership and equality?
This short film tells the story of a group of Cuban children that play a baseball game in their local neighbourhood. Osmey and Maria, together with their friends, make a baseball using a deodorant can and some tape.

What can beauty pageants tell us about democracy?
A beauty pageant is held to decide on a Miss Democracy for 2007, and the judges are as eccentric as the contestants.

This humorous representation of international relations highlights the fickle nature of democracy all over the world.
Can one women's hunger strike restore justice across India?
Irom Sharmila is a young women of Manipur who has been on a hunger strike for nearly 7 years now. She has been demanding that the Indian Regional Government repeal a brutal law. The Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act is one of the drastic measures taken by the Indian Regional Government to assert their control over their territory and suppress any unrest or dissent through military means. Sharmila is willing to stake everything - even her life - to restore justice and dignity for her people.
Can indigenous people preserve their culture when forced from their land?
The dialogue between people, nature and gods is based upon a sacred knowledge and mythology. In the modern world only a few cultures based on myth survive. The region of the Khanty people is the basic source of oil recovery in Russia. About 70 percent of all Rassia oil is extracted here. The oil companies actively buy huge territories in the Noth of Siberia. Indigenous people are then forced to leave these places, their own patrimonial territories, and so a modern civilization gradually absorbs an ancient culture.
Can commemorating the Yugoslavian war allow wounds to heal?
Croatia is a small country where people like to take big vacations. Post-Yugoslavia, Croatians are dealing with battered history that many are trying to forget. But someone on the town square in Zagreb wants to remind them that wounds take time to heal. Poignantly crafted. On the square is silent reminder of a deafening issue.
What lessons of resistance can be learned from India's biggest democracy?
India is the largest democracy in the world and in Delhi the capital there is a street set aside for permanent protests, Parliament Street. People converge daily to make all sorts of grand demands. Amongst the crowds, on this day, three blind men come across an elephant and while the crowds surge and shout their demands the men try to decide what the elephant is. They each experience something different – one thinks it's a buffalo, another a wall, or is it a camel? The mahout has another point of view.

Original Trinity Hymnal, #599
The sands of time are sinking,
The dawn of heaven breaks,
The summer morn I've sighed for,
The fair sweet morn awakes;
Dark, dark, hath been the midnight,
But dayspring is at hand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Emmanuel's land.
The King there in his beauty
Without a veil is seen;
It were a well-spent journey
Though seven deaths lay between:
The Lamb with his fair army
Doth on Mount Zion stand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Emmanuel's land.
O Christ, he is the fountain,
The deep sweet well of love!
The streams on earth I've tasted
More deep I'll drink above:
There to an ocean fullness
His mercy doth expand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Emmanuel's land.
The bride eyes not her garment,
But her dear bridegroom's face;
I will not gaze at glory,
But on my King of grace;
Not at the crown he gifteth,
But on his pierced hand:
The Lamb is all the glory
Of Emmanuel's land.

Bill Clinton gave birth to the debate, but it would have raged regardless.
"I would like to have a happy wife, and she won't be unless she's a grandmother,'' the former president said in 2011. "It's something she wants more than she wanted to be president." (Italics mine).
Clinton may live to regret the remark, as I can envision Hillary's opponents in 2016 holding all sorts of bogus press conferences to denounce her interest in babies rather than Benghazi.
"Do we really need a woman in the White House who'd rather rock the cradle than rule the world?" Ted Cruz will ask. "Do we really want our president knitting booties instead of mending the Middle East?" Rand Paul will wonder.
Chelsea Clinton is having a baby, and seldom has a conception felt so pregnant with political consequences for granny. Will it help her or hurt? Will she, er, milk this prop for photo opps? Will she even want to run for president, now that she can walk the stroller? And, as a grandmother, how soon before she offers an unwrapped peppermint from her pocketbook to Kim Jong Un?
First, let's get the obvious out of the way. Yes, we'd never be having this conversation if Hillary was a man. We shouldn't be having it now, because it's sexist, ageist and unfair. I mean, look at Mitt Romney. He ran for president with enough grandkids to populate a third-world nation, and no one wondered whether gramps was up for the job. At least, not for that reason.
But life isn't fair, and we ladies know it. Also � I may get drummed out of the sisterhood for admitting it � men and women are different when it comes to babies. For example, I have a male friend who became a grandfather three years ago. He loves his grandkids, but told me last week that his wife is "completely over the top" about spending time with them.
"It's like she's become a mother all over again," said my male friend, who asked not to be identified for obvious reasons. "She's really overboard. I already raised my kids and I like my weekends off. But now I feel guilty when I want to go golfing."
Before I get swamped with angry emails from doting granddads and readers who accuse me of generalizing, I realize that not all women are more devoted to children than men are, and not all grandfathers would rather hit the tee than tend to little Timmy. Plenty of exceptions exist.
Still. The conversation is out there, and lots of it is stupid and insulting, but some of it likely strikes a secret chord with women of a certain age who could not imagine putting out fires in Syria when they could be lighting up the eyes of their grandchild.
Frankly, I don't want to be working when I'm Hillary's age � 66 � and I don't even have kids. But just as the rich are different from you and me, so are politicians. Hillary has remarkable ambition and energy; in four years as secretary of state, she traveled nearly a million miles to 112 countries. Whatever you might think of her, Hillary is no ordinary woman, just as powerful males aren't typical men.
It's not completely sexist to wonder about Hillary's age, however, given that our last three presidents were 46, 54 and 47 when they took office. Because she's a woman, though, the question is taken to extremes. Mostly notable, in 2007, Rush Limbaugh asked his listeners, "Will this country want to actually watch a woman get older before their eyes on a daily basis?"
The better question is this: When will this country understand that a woman can be president and a grandmother at the same time? And when will women be defined like men � by their careers, rather than their kids and their crow's feet?

When you are preparing for a disaster, the most people buy food, store water and other necessary things to survive. But they usually don't think in the long run. I myself wouldn't want to simply survive if I knew in before hand that a disaster was comming, I would want to live properly and actually enjoy it. So I am preparing with movies, books, guitar strings and many more things so that I can enjoy myself when shtf. Think about it. How fun will it be sitting by your door with a gun/rifle all day and not doing anything and just surviving?

It's the Great American Beer Festival with Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog
Beware, Greg Koch (pictured above).
With San Diego Beer Week right around the corner (November 1st - 10th), perhaps there will be a visit from Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog.
A longtime contributor on TBS' Conan, the sharp-tongued, cigar-chomping canine puppet -- played by Robert Smigel -- recently visited the Great American Beer Festival in Denver with hilarious, but harsh, criticisms of the craft beer movement.
Watch below to see Triumph create video gold with his take on the beer fest, or "distant father's expo".

I was craving peanut butter cookies again but wanted to switch it up a bit from the typical fork printed ones. So when I saw this recipe, it got me really excited to make them. They were super easy to make and it was absolutely delicious!
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (recommended: Hershey's)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar, plus 1/4 cup
1/2 packed cup light brown sugar
1 egg, room temperature, beaten
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup blackberry jam
Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, sieve together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, peanut butter, 3/4 cup of sugar, and light brown sugar together, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until blended. With the machine running on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture until incorporated.
Put the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar in a small bowl. Form the dough into 1/4 cup-size balls and roll in the sugar. Arrange 5 balls of dough, evenly apart, on each baking sheet. Using a round 1/4 teaspoon measure, or the thin end of a wooden spoon, make a hole in the center of each ball of dough, about 1/2 to 3/4-inch deep. Spoon 1 teaspoon of jam into each hole. Bake for 11 to 14 minutes until the dough has spread and the surface of the cookies are crackled. Cool for 5 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes. Arrange the cookies on a serving dish and serve.

Scientists Discovered 91 Volcanoes Beneath AntarcticaAugust 16, 2017 11:15
In a historic discovery, scientists have found 91 volcanoes under the large area of Antarctica's icy region. The discovery has also made it the largest volcanic region on planet earth.
The researchers of the Edinburgh University in the United Kingdom, successfully discovered 91 volcanoes, addition to the previously found 47 others. The highest volcano stands at Eiger at 4,000 meters in Switzerland.
A researcher while speaking to The Guardian said the active peaks are in the region which is called as Antarctic RIft System, which is spread in area of 3,500 km from Antarctica's Ross ice shelf to the peninsula of antarctic.
Researcher Robert Bingham said that they were not expecting to find something in this large number and they have found almost three times of what it was existed in West Antarctica.
These researchers further added that any activity in the region can affect the whole earth. If the active volcano erupts, it can increase the flow of ice to the sea. They also warned that various active volcanoes in the region have lost the glacier which was covering them and same can happen in the this region as the ice in Antarctica is already starting to melt due to climate change.

About Hamilton House Van Wagoner Museum
We hope to provide you with a refreshing glimpse of the past. A journey back in time and place -not just to see, but to feel how our forefathers lived. The museum mirrors the growing up of our nation with all its courage, imagination and vitality.
This 18th Century Dutch gambrel-roofed homestead, was once the home of the Van Wagoner and Hamilton families. The basic plan of the house does not greatly differ from its Dutch antecedents. The sturdy one and one half story cut sandstone structure, flanked by a grainery, spring-house and gardens, reflects almost two hundred years of American history. It brings back memories of an uncluttered horizon with farms, orchards, fresh brooks, forests full of game and filled with the scent of wildflowers.
Although the city of Clifton was incorporated in 1917, a community had existed since 1679. Prior to 1917, the area was known as Acquackanonk Township and included parts of Paterson, West Paterson, Little Falls and Passaic. The Indian Chief Captahem deeded 11,000acres to the early Dutch settlers on the shores of the Passaic River. Predominately rural, this sparsely populated village thrived and grew.
The farmhouse was presented to the City of Clifton by the developers of the property of the late Harry Hamilton. The Hamilton family had bought the 96 acre property in 1856 and for over 100 years until the death of Mr. Hamilton n 1970 it had been the home of the family.
The house was moved to its present location Surgent Park in 1973. Infinite plans have been taken with examination and documentation of the building's structural elements. Manuscripts,maps, deeds, wills.photographs and artifacts were researched, including the records and treasured memories of Miss Caroline Hamilton.
We trust you will enjoy your "walk in the footsteps of history" with the visualization of six rooms furnished in different periods showing a span of time and an earlier pattern of life. As a "living" active Museum we invite you to "walk in the footsteps of history"

Police have issued a video appeal for information after a prison officer was seriously injured when a bomb exploded under his vehicle in East Belfast this morning.
"The people who did this set out to kill," said Assistant Chief Constable Stephen Martin.
"We are very worried about the threat level at this time - there are people in dissident republican grouping who want to try and kill police officers, prison officers or soldiers.
"Easter is a very significant time in the calendar, this year is the 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising.
"We are working very hard with groups across Northern Ireland who want to celebrate the Easter Rising. We will do what we can to ensure a peaceful Easter,"
"However, there are those within the dissident republican community who want to mark the centenary in an entirely more sinister way - by killing police officers, by killing soldiers or by killing prison officers."
ACC Martin has called on the public to support the PSNI.
"We need your support," he said. "If you any information that can help, please call us on 101."

Workplace Safety Signs
Employees Wash Hands
Ensure proper hygiene in the workplace to avoid germ contamination.
Colors can help employees quickly determine the type of hazard present in any given situation. The color of the sign will also help them decide how to respond to and approach the situation. It's important to be consistent with your color usage throughout the facility.
Red identifies FIRE, DANGER, or STOP. It is most commonly used in flammable liquid identification, emergency stop switches, and fire protection equipment. Danger indicates an immediately hazardous situation that could cause death or serious injury.
Orange indicates WARNING. Orange identifies hazardous equipment or situations. Common uses include marking machine hazards that pose cut, crush, or pinch injuries and for marking the insides of movable guards that allow access to gears, chains, and the like. Warning indicates a potentially hazardous situation that could result in death or serious injury.
Yellow denotes CAUTION. Used with black lettering, yellow identifies hazards such as conditions that might result in tripping or falling or flammable materials storage. Caution indicates a potentially hazardous situation that may result in moderate injury.
Green denotes SAFETY. Green identifies the location of safety equipment, material safety data sheets, and first aid equipment.
Blue indicates NOTICE. It is the color that identifies safety information signs, such as PPE requirements.
You aren't necessarily always required to use these safety colors, but it's a good idea for your company to have set parameters for sign color. Also note that OSHA does identify when to use red and yellow in 29 CFR 1910.144.
Shapes and symbols
Shapes and Symbols In addition to sign color coding, symbols and shapes also contribute to a sign's meaning. These are essential to sign viewers. Certain sign shapes are used to convey specific information:
Triangle- or diamond-shaped signs are used for hazard alerts and will usually use orange or yellow for their color.
Circular symbols are mandatory actions, such as those used to inform workers of the necessity for PPE, and are typically blue.
Square- or rectangular-shaped signs provide information. For example, signs indicating safety equipment locations would be found in a square or rectangle and are usually green.
Certain workplace prohibitions may be identified by posting a sign containing a symbol in a circle with a slash going from the upper left to lower right (e.g., a no smoking sign).
I have been out-of-touch with Air Delights for some years. When I decided to return, they were there, ready and able to help me. They even had my old order records from years back. This was a great help to me. I didn't even need to order new dispensers , because my old ones worked just like new.
Due to our order history they followed up with a phone call to ensure what was ordered was actually what we wanted. Turns out we ordered incorrectly. They made the adjustment on the phone and shipped the correct item.
From seeing the pop-up ad, through ordering the needed parts cheaper than factory pricing, to installing for a flushable toilet again---THREE DAYS ONLY!!! Impressive, outstanding, and better than most!
I've been using products from Air Delights for years and have loved all of the products that I purchased. There have never been any problems with the products or customer service. I've actually gotten some of my friends interested in the products.
I've dealt with you folks before so I know the kind of service I will receive. I like the fact that there is a place like yours that people can shop at and get the service we deserve. I've decided we needed another set of this product in our upstairs bathroom since we have someone else utilizing the downstairs bathroom. GREAT SERVICE!
They expedited shipping to me and got it her super fast and were MORE than courteous when I called. The Best!
This commercial supplier has always been patient with my household sized orders. They even called once when what I had ordered was not the same as my previous orders. Saved me from having to return a mistaken order. I love their air freshener products. It's not always easy to find air fresheners that I can use with my allergies.
Your company is the best.You save me money on the part that I needed.Also I will be order off your company if I need anything else.
Our Flushmate 503 developed a broken cartridge at 4PM central time. AirDelights is pacific time, so by the time I placed my order it was 2:47 pacific time. They sent the parts by FEDEX next day standard delivery. I had the parts in my hand in St Louis MO at 10:18 AM the next morning. The order was before 3PM so they shipped the same day.
Ease of ordering and length of time on delivery and the pleasing aroma of items purchased are all great! I will be purchasing more in the near future. Thanks to everyone involved with my order.

Surviving the Mayan doomsday, we're in a summer apocalyptic mood.
"World War Z" is sending zombie sci-fi chills up spines, and for stoner hilarity, "This Is the End" goofs on the whole end-of-the-world film genre. (Think Laurel & Hardy & the Three Stooges in Armageddon.)
On the real-world business side, Del Mar entrepreneur Robert Vicino, an advertising and time-share tycoon, is turning humanity's fears into a real-estate opportunity, a time share you'd never share.
During the Cold War, the period when world wipeout was most plausible, Americans famously prepared for nuclear holocaust with backyard fallout shelters.
My Coronado family took weird comfort in the fact that Soviet missiles would be aimed right at our Navy town. Survival? Not a chance. The watchwords were carpe diem, preferably with tennis racket or martini in hand.
Today, "Doomsday Preppers" are stars of a National Geographic reality show. These survival freaks are ready for anything — meteor strikes, climate meltdown, alien invasion, nuclear war.
I took the program's online test — "How Prepared Are You?" — and learned that my wife and I would last from zero to one week. Alas, we have no "bugout" shelter, no massive stores of dried food and no arsenal of weapons to shoot starving marauders.
Last December, Vicino, founder of the Vivos company, bought 2.25 million square feet in a 100-year-old limestone mine near Atchison, Kan. He'll sell space for RVs in the world's largest underground survival shelter. Total population: 5,000.
Those with the foresight to buy into the Vivos Survival Shelter and Resort will be able to ride out any storm while enjoying amenities like bowling alleys, pet parks and golf course.
Vicino, who has developed smaller shelters at undisclosed locations, likes to say he's offering "life assurance." He figures his subterranean digs will be able to save roughly 6,000, one-in-a-million of the people on earth. (A cryovault will preserve DNA to repopulate the earth with people and animals, a chilly Noah's Ark.)
Close to home, Vicino tells me he's built a dozen private shelters in Rancho Santa Fe backyards.
They key, he says, is that no one else can know because, well, you know how pushy neighbors can be when they're about to die.

Johnny Nelson is a big guy.
The 6ft 3ins former boxer ruled as world champion from 1999-2005.
These days, he shares his knowledge of the ring as a pundit on Sky TV boxing shows.
But the Sheffield fight expert - who turned 50 years old last month - shared too much in one of his recent broadcasts.
He was discussing the forthcoming Tony Bellew v David Haye mega-fight when a wardrobe malfunction suddenly caught him short.
"Oh, oh, I think I've just split my trousers" he announced on live TV.
"Oh no, it's a bit cold down there" he added, with his legs firmly crossed.
It was a knock-out blow in terms of the interview, with Sky Sports News HQ presenter Rob Wotton moving on as quickly as he could.
While it wasn't exactly Pay Per View material, the pair and Sky Head of Boxing Adam Smith got through the ordeal...by the seat of Johnny's pants.
Nelson will front of the cameras when South Yorkshire's Gavin McDonnell challenges Rey Vargas at Hull tomorrow...hopefully with a new pair of trousers on to protect his modesty.
