The Mach V permanent disc golf basket is the perfect choice for college campuses, city, and state parks, high use disc golf courses and for championship tournament play.
The Mach V has become a preferred choice in championship levels baskets due to its amazing performance at a competitive price. This basket has become a favorite for many levels of courses due to its versatility. The Mach V features the patented sliding link technology, which allows some movement to the outer row of chains, softening the disc's impact to the chains. The DGA Mach V basket comes with DGA's industry pioneering 25 Year Warranty and is PDGA approved at the Championship Level.
Mach V Permanent Disc Pole Hole Disc Golf Basket Details
- 24 welded and hot dipped galvanized strands of chain
- 3 successive rows of chain, 1 outer, 1 mid, 1 inner
- Patented inner chains and sliding links
- Stainless steel "S" hook sliders
- The highest quality basket manufacturing
- Hand inspected hot dipped galvanized construction
- PDGA approved for Championship Level tournament play
- 25-year warranty
The Mach V is renowned for being the most advanced and innovative Disc Pole Hole available. The Mach V's staggered inner chains create both a wall of chain that catches fast hard disc throws as well as slow finesse putts. The staggered inner chain design layout has the effect of decelerating a disc as it hits each successive row of the chain. The outer row of chain utilizes our patented sliding link design and slows the disc considerably before it hits the second middle row of hanging chain. The innermost row of chain prevents high-velocity discs from bouncing off the central pole.
The Mach V is designed with a two inner and one outer chain pattern with a 24 chain strand configuration. Our Trapper Basket comes standard on all of our Disc Pole Holes. The Trapper design prevents discs from rolling up and out of the basket. Once a disc hits the basket it stays there.
- Portable model with metal base and wheel (Portable Mounting Option)
- Permanent and removable model with anchor and lockable collar (Deluxe Mounting Option)
- Direct cement pole option (No Frills Mounting Option)

Training for Warriors
Place Category: GYMS
The Training For Warriors system is a fitness program originally created for some of the best combat athletes in the world more than 15 years ago. But over that time, it was recognized that the training methods of the TFW system can benefit anyone looking to lose fat, build muscle and feel good. Now with 200 affiliate locations in 30 countries, tens of thousands of people per day are using the TFW system to bring their fitness to another level.
After over a decade of proving TFW can increase the performance and self-esteem of the world's top athletes, people realized that you do not have to be a fighter to use the TFW system, but you do have to want to Bring Out The Warrior Within. At TFW, we define a warrior as anyone that is prepared to work hard and develop oneself in an effort to battle against his or her particular challenges in life. The daily workouts of the TFW system are designed to develop the muscular strength and mental fortitude for you to take on those challenges.
What separates the TFW system from other training programs is its holistic approach to training. Although TFW encompasses detailed warmups, speed training, strength training, endurance training, flexibility work and nutrition all of which are based on a comprehensive evaluation process, perhaps the most important component of the system is its motivational approach. The training modalities are all applied based on the 12 guiding principles that are the philosophical foundation of the TFW system. As a result of this principle-centered approach, the TFW system offers endless variety while still focused on producing constant gains. TFW is not designed as a sport or competition, but focuses on you competing against yourself.

Before there was behavioral economics, there were marketers observing human behavior closely and appling their insights to the art and science of selling products. Today's behavioral economists haven't become marketers, but the discipline's work is now finding its way back into marketing as a framework to systematically and strategically think about crafting clever campaigns. The advertising agency Draftfcb is one place where behavioral economics ideas are percolating through more than a few minds. Some of these thoughts have started appearing in a series of video blogs under the title "Lessons in Marketing to Crazy People." Those lessons include making the first step of engagement with any product or service incredibly easy ("So Easy a Caveman Can Do It!"), and making the last impression (rather than the first one) count. The fifth video in the series has just been posted with thoughts on overcoming immediate hassles, which any good behavioral economist knows have foiled many a good intention.
The full set of videos can be found on John Kenny's (of Draftfcb) Youtube channel.

Authors: Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
Genre: YA Science Fiction
Pages: 599
Format: ARC
Received: At BEA
Published: October 20th, 2015 by Knopf Books for Young Readers
Book Description:
This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she'd have to do. This afternoon, her planet was invaded. The year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a planet that's little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the universe. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra—who are barely even talking to each other—are forced to fight their way onto an evacuating fleet, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit. But their problems are just getting started. A deadly plague has broken out and is mutating, with terrifying results; the fleet's AI, which should be protecting them, may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will say what's really going on. As Kady hacks into a tangled web of data to find the truth, it's clear only one person can help her bring it all to light: the ex-boyfriend she swore she'd never speak to again. Told through a fascinating dossier of hacked documents—including emails, schematics, military files, IMs, medical reports, interviews, and more—Illuminae is the first book in a heart-stopping, high-octane trilogy about lives interrupted, the price of truth, and the courage of everyday heroes.
I went into Illuminae completely blind. I didn't know anything about the plot or this book, other than the fact that words were blocked out. This book completely blew my mind.
The interior formatting was just incredible. Hats off to the authors and publisher for working out all of the amazing AIDAN pages. It was incredibly unique and unlike anything I had ever seen in a book before. It added so much to the world-buliding. I loved that were was never a traditional narrative, but the story was still just as powerful. The most interesting part was the narrative voice of AIDAN and being able to read the thoughts of an artificial intelligence system who became a character that you felt an emotional connection to made this novel even more brilliant.
The beginning was a bit hard to get into and adjust to the style. I wasn't quite sure where this story was heading, but once the story picked up I was hooked. The use of the interviews, emails, IMs, and other various uses of storytelling made it a fast read.
Kady was just an incredible character. Kaufman and Kristoff just dragged my heart throughout space. I cried so much. So many tears. It was glorious. There were so many amazing plot twists. My heart dropped into my stomach way too many times. There were plenty of very brutal moments that I didn't expect when I started this book.
This is the best YA in space novel that I have read, and it is one of the best YA novels that I have read in a while. I cannot recommend this book enough. If your not into scifi, you just need to experience this book. Illuminae is a breath of fresh air and I can't wait to see what Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff have in store for Gemina. This author collaboration was my everything.

Pokemon is a brilliant and exciting game that was released in 1995 with millions of players from around the world. The deep story line and context draws in fans and players from all cultural backgrounds, age brackets, and genders alike. The game captures the essence of youth and leads you along a series of adventures that you won't soon forget! The original state of the game was intended for a single player experience where users could capture Pokemon, battle wild Pokemon, challenge gym leaders, and escape Team Rocket.
However as time progressed, players wanted to extend their love for the game onto their friends in a real-time means of playing. Linking cables and devices soon allowed players to battle each other at school and social events. As the technology in the market expanded, the Nintendo DS was released and allowed users to connect via WiFi connection to players all over the world. This gave you a front row seat to international Pokemon battling and social interaction via the franchise. Many players are still unaware of how to play their favorite Pokemon games online and miss out on the experience altogether. Located below are the steps you can take in order to throw yourself into the intense world of online Pokemon gaming!
Go to the Pokemon Center
In every Pokemon game is a Pokemon center where players can heal wounded Pokemon, revive dead Pokemon, and store captured Pokemon. Located on the right hand side of the screen you will see a staircase leading down to the lower floor. You will soon see 3 women standing behind the desk ready to communicate. The woman on the far right will hand you a Pal Pad that allows you to capture and store your friends code for play.
The woman located in the middle will allow you connect over wireless in order to battle and trade specific Pokemon with your friends via their friend-code. The lady located on the far left, depending on which Pokemon version you're playing, will allow you to play a series of mini-games online. These are strictly for fun and are not required to play online with your friends.
First Connection
Walk up to the woman located in the middle of the screen and follow her series of questions. She will then lead you into the back room where a screen will pop up and give you the friend code that was mentioned earlier in the article. If this is your first time connecting, your device will disconnect and lead you back into the previous room with the 3 women.
After you've received your friend code, follow the same steps as before and communicate with the middle woman. The next screen shown will give you the option to trade or battle others over your wireless connection.
In summary, battling your friends inside of the Pokemon universe will provide you with hours of fun and excitement. Good luck on your journey and hopefully you catch them all!

two girls, looked to be in their 20s
one was two slightly older African American ladies,
and another was two rather short men
I *think* there was another team arriving a little further down, but I couldn't get a good look in all the excitement.
One last little tidbit: My friend said the racer sitting next to her on the plane had mentioned that others "from our group" had been on an earlier flight that day. Maybe these were just the stragglers?
These guys and Mel and Mike could be the 2nd plane! Christie/Jodi yes, Jaime/Cara yes, Mel/Mike yes, Mark and Mike and Kisha and Jen I can also see too!
And if the Roadblockers took a time penalty then why aren't they taking the gondola back down the mountain with their teammates? They are walking... We see for sure Amanda and Brad on the gondola talking about making the right decision leaving Victoria and Kris to hike/walk.
Is that the backside of a clue box in that pic in #216?Floor doesn't look too caked up in the Amanda/Kris shots, need to line them all uo, lol!The sun is going down behind the mt...I wonder how it compares to Linda is still lost in the mts time...
6) We see Linda suited up for flying standing next to Mel. I have no idea if that is before or after she decides to hike down. I do think that, from the comment by the crew member at the pit stop overheard by the Salzburg blogger, that she went all the way back up to the top and then flew down after the wind shift after Mel.
EP2 preview from CBS! Fly to Munich Germany! ......... What could be more fun than throwing cake in someone's face? This is one of the many challenges the racers have to complete on the next 'Amazing Race'!

First Day of School Do
1 comment:
Just found your site and I'm ecstatic! Love your styles - they look impressive, but seem very do-able! We did this style for school yesterady. Instead of barrel roll curls, I pulled the end of the combined braids back through the top pony where I'd pulled it through at the beginning. This left the braids hanging down the back, with a Renaissance look. The bit of hair coming out the top looked like toddler pigtails. My 8yo was THRILLED with her hairdo! She got tons of compliments, too. Her hair is to the middle of her tushie, so she was excited about it looking like hse had short hair for a change. :) It held up great (secured it with bobby pins)at the pool, and today, twisted them into buns. Tomorrow, it'll be super wavy hair down with a headband. :) Thanks for all your inspiration! -Debbie

Sexually provocative music videos should be banned until after 9pm…
March 10, 2010
I am not a fan of the politically correct, do-gooder, outcrying, NIMBY type of parents who tend to think the government, telly, schools, big corporations and other institutions should raise their kids for them. However, this is not a post about them. This is a post about the group of parents (Mumsnet) who have appealed for highly sexual materials to be "watershedded". This new outcry is not regarding the usual, "in your face" sexual content but the sneakier ones… You know the hip-hop/RnB/pop/girl's band music videos? More specifically the one where the nearly anorexic size 8 girls are wearing next to nothing? Even when it is not a macho hip hop/RnB music video where the highly muscled gun-totting so-called gangsta is smacking his biatches around, the girls have to have the most sexual, forget suggestive as subtlety has now disappeared, dance routines and outfits. The problem is, these videos are actually on all the time, you don't even need to have a music channel. All you need to do is switch on to a non-music national freeview channel in the morning and there you have it.
I do not usually agree with parents trying to get the government or the institution of the moment to do their jobs for them, but it must be hard for a mum trying to induce some body confidence and a sense of self-worth into her teenage daughter. It must be even harder nowadays where we (women) are given such a high (unachievable) standard of beauty to measure to. The effects of the over sexualisation of women is pretty obvious: you only need to walk down a shopping centre on a Saturday afternoon and you'll see what I mean. The girls whose thongs are showing out of their tight jeans, whose padded bright pink bras are visible through their low cut white t-shirt, whose hairs are highlighted blonde, straightened to death… Don't be fooled, a lot of them are only 12. I am a huge advocate that a woman that has everything on display has a low self-esteem. The fact that you are flaunting everything all at once in one-go would usually betray that you sense you have nothing better to offer or nothing else worth noticing. I am talking about women… What drives a 12 year old to already think like that? If you want respect, start by respecting yourself: put some clothes on.

Murder of Robert Kissel
The Nancy Kissel murder case (officially called the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region v Nancy Ann Kissel) was a highly publicised criminal trial held in the High Court of Hong Kong, where Nancy Ann Kissel (née Keeshin) was convicted of the murder of her husband, 40-year-old investment banker Robert Peter Kissel, in their apartment on 2 November 2003.
The case was known as the "milkshake murder" because Kissel was alleged to have incapacitated her husband by serving him a strawberry milkshake full of sedatives before bludgeoning him to death. It was possibly the highest profile murder of an expatriate in Hong Kong's history, together with the Braemar Hill murders and the trial was closely covered in the media. Kissel was convicted of murder in 2005 and received a mandatory life sentence. The Court of Final Appeal overturned the conviction in February 2010, citing legal errors, and ordered a retrial. The retrial began on 12 January 2011 and, on 25 March 2011, she was again found guilty of her husband's murder and sentenced to life in prison.
Kissel is serving her sentence at Tai Lam Centre for Women.[1]
Coincidentally Robert Kissel's brother Andrew, a former American real estate developer, was found murdered on 3 April 2006 in Greenwich, Connecticut, USA.
On a return trip to the United States in mid-2003, Nancy met and had an affair with Michael Del Priore, a twice-married electrical repairman who had rewired the Kissel home in Vermont. They remained in frequent telephone communication during the days and months prior to and immediately following the murder.
Robert was suspicious of Nancy's infidelity and had hired New York private detective Frank Shea, president of Alpha Group Investigations based in New York and Boca Raton, Florida, to spy on his wife, and also secretly installed the spyware eBlaster on her computer. She claims to have had some violent disagreements with her husband, and says that her husband claimed to have initiated proceedings for divorce and for the custody of their children.
Nancy drugged her husband by having their six-year-old daughter give him a strawberry milkshake laced with a cocktail of sedatives. When it had taken effect and the children were out of the apartment, she bludgeoned him to death. She then rolled up his body in a carpet and had it placed in their storeroom in the Parkview complex.
After her arrest, Nancy admitted to killing her husband in self-defense, claiming that she had been in an unhappy marriage and was the victim of domestic violence. She claimed her husband had subjected her to rape and sodomy over a five-year period. She attempted to portray Robert as a work-crazed and controlling husband who had succumbed to habitual and regular cocaine and alcohol abuse.
The trial began in June 2005 at Hong Kong's High Court with the prosecution alleging that she murdered her husband; she pleaded not guilty.[2][3] She admitted under cross examination that she had bludgeoned her husband to death, but claimed it was in self-defense after an argument about divorce had escalated, leading him to sexually attack her, and then, when she resisted, to swing at her with a baseball bat. She claimed memory loss, testifying she had no knowledge of how she inflicted five head wounds with a heavy metal sculpture. She admitted to using Stilnox, one of the sedatives found in her husband's body, to doctor a bottle of Scotch single malt whisky when they were living in Vermont in the hope that it would make her husband less aggressive toward their children, but she admitted it had had no effect on him. Regardless of that, she admitted to trying the same thing in Hong Kong but testified that when she saw the sediment it left at the bottom of the bottle, she poured out the drugged liquor, bought a new bottle and used it to partially fill up the old one, and then "never thought about it again".[4] The Kissels' neighbor, Andrew Tanzer, testified he had become drowsy and then unconscious after sampling the strawberry milkshake. Kissel admitted making it for one of her children and a visiting child, but denied drugging it, stating she would never harm her children or anyone else's.
Trial and verdict[edit]
The case against Nancy Kissel was brought before Justice Michael Lunn. At the end of the trial, lasting 65 days, on 1 September 2005 the jury of five men and two women unanimously decided on her guilt after eight hours of deliberation. Kissel was sentenced to life in prison,[5][6]
She appealed her conviction in April 2008. That petition was rejected.[7][8] Kissel then lodged an appeal with the Court of Final Appeal of Hong Kong on 12 January 2010.[9] The case was heard before a five-judge panel led by then-Chief Justice Andrew Li on 21 January. The defense argued that the prosecution had improperly used evidence, including hearsay, and that the original jury instructions were problematic.[10] On 11 February 2010, the Court of Final Appeal quashed the conviction and ordered a retrial, citing prosecution use of inadmissible evidence. Kissel was permitted to seek bail,[11][12] but ultimately chose not to apply.[13]
Second indictment[edit]
Kissel was re-indicted on a single count of murder on 2 March 2010,[14] with the retrial due to start on 10 January 2011.[15]
According to the defense, Robert Kissel told his wife on the night of 2 November 2003, that he was filing for divorce, saying that the decision was final, and that she was unfit to care for their children. The defense also alleged she had long suffered from physical and sexual abuse. Nancy Kissel pleaded not guilty to murder, but guilty to manslaughter on the basis of diminished responsibility and provocation.[16] Kissel admitted to having an extramarital relationship with a TV repairman, and the prosecution alleged that she planned to run away with her lover in the United States after her husband's death, and that she stood to inherit her husband's estate worth US$18 million.[17]
On 25 March 2011, after hearing evidence from over 50 prosecution and defense witnesses over ten weeks,[16] the jury of seven women and two men unanimously found Kissel guilty as charged. She was sentenced to life imprisonment.
On 24 April 2014, the Court of Final Appeal refused to allow an appeal against the verdict of her 2011 retrial, rejecting the arguments of Kissel's lawyer, Edward Fitzgerald, that the prosecution was wrong to tell the retrial's jury that his client was not suffering any psychiatric illness and that the trial judge had erred in directing the jury.
"We are not persuaded that the two grounds submitted by the applicant are arguable," Justice Roberto Ribeiro said. He said that he and the court's two other judges, Justice Robert Tang Ching and Justice Joseph Fok, would hand down the reason for their decision later.[17][18]

Finally there is some actual football related news to talk about with the Dallas Cowboys. The 2011 NFL schedule was released today. I'm operating under the assumption that both the owners and the players aren't dumb enough to let the labor dispute force any games to be missed. With that said, trying to analyze the schedule and determine a win-loss record before free agency and the draft is completely ridiculous.
At least in years past you could have a general feel for the roster make up since the bulk of free agency would have been completed at this point. But this year we are still looking at the exact same roster that finished the season in January. So I'll just focus on the schedule in generalities and save the win-loss predictions for a later date.
The first thing that is noticeable about the schedule is that it seems much easier than the last few years. Part of that comes from the fact that the Cowboys are playing a third place schedule. But it doesn't hurt that they are playing the AFC East which features the Bills and Dolphins along with the Jets and Patriots. And playing the NFC West doesn't exactly strike fear into the Cowboys. I count six games out of the division right off the bat that are very winnable games regardless of the final roster make up for the Cowboys: the 49ers, Seahawks, Rams, Cardinals, Dolphins, and Bills.
There was a writer who I won't name with the Dallas Morning News who was throwing around the ridiculous notion that the Cowboys are no longer a ratings draw because they aren't going to be nationally televised in any preseason games. Seriously? Like anyone really cares about preseason games outside of the hardcore fan base. With the regular season schedule out you see the Cowboys in five prime time games: three Sunday night games, a Monday night game and a Saturday night NFL Network game. Clearly the NFL schedule makers know the Cowboys bring in the ratings whether they are coming off a 6-10 season or a 13-3 season. And they will play in what could be the biggest regular season game of the year in terms of ratings when they go to the Jets on September 11.
The Cowboys start the season with back to back road games. Traveling to the Jets with the 10th anniversary of 9/11 fueling the Jets and their fans is going to be very tough. And that is followed up with a trip all the way to the other side of the country to play the 49ers. That will make for a difficult start to the season.
The Cowboys finally won't be finishing the season against the Eagles. The Cowboys have finished the season out against the Eagles for the last three seasons. This year they get the Giants in the season finale. I like the fact that the NFL is trying to put division games on the final weekend because there are usually playoff spots and division titles at stake. Bring on Eli Manning and the Giants. Maybe the Cowboys can clinch a division crown and knock the Giants out of the playoffs in the final game of the season. That would be sweet.
The bye week comes in week 5 this year. While I'd like to see the bye week come a little later in the season I'm not going to complain about week five. The bye week will give the Cowboys a week to recover from the first four games and an extra week of preparation for a road trip to New England. I can't complain about the Cowboys getting a bye week before taking on Tom Brady.
The more I look at the schedule the more excited I get. But, like I mentioned before, it is way too early to start putting win-loss predictions out there. I have a feeling my prediction will be extremely optimistic based on the schedule but I have to see how the roster concerns are addressed in free agency and the draft first. The schedule sure looks favorable for the Cowboys. I haven't been able to say that for a few years.

WEST POINT -- The West Point High School football team was well represented Wednesday on National Signing Day.
Four Green Wave players signed letters of intent to take their skills and talents to the next level.
West Point football coach Chris Chambless spoke eCollins to EMCCnthusiastically about his players and the direction of Green Wave football.
"We want to build relationships," Chambless said.
This involves reaching out into the community as well as establishing long-lasting relationships with area colleges.
It has paid off.
West Point ended its 2008 season 8-3 and advanced to the Region 4, Division 4A playoffs.
Wednesday''s signees played an integral role in last year''s success.
West Point players Gabe Rupert, Curtis Hall, and Quincy Lane signed to play the 2009 season with East Mississippi Community College in Scooba.
Middle linebacker Rupert has been impressed with the EMCC coaching staff''s commitment to academics and athletics.
"I like EMCC because coach (Buddy Stephens) stresses books and getting your education," Rupert said. "Each position is competitive. The players there work hard, and I want to compete for a position."
Chambless describes Rupert as a team leader and a hard hitter who made big plays last year for the Green Wave.
"He will continue to contribute both in the classroom and on the football field," Chambless said.
Hall will join the Lions'' receiving ranks.
"I feel good since it was my first year coming out," Hall said. "I''ll have to go out and compete for the team (EMCC) and will play wide receiver. I will know some of the players and that will help out."
Hall played only one year for West Point, but Chambless was impressed with his effort.
"He has hands of glue and is a speedster," Chambless said. "He will fit in well at EMCC and the offense they run."
EMCC will gain an aggressive pass-rusher in Lane. He will compete for a defensive end spot.
"The coaches at EMCC are about books and ball," Lane said. "They stress education. They said my pass rushing skills would be used. I plan to work hard, lift weights in the off season and be ready."
Lane sat out his junior year recovering from shoulder surgery. Chambless believes he can make an immediate impact at EMCC.
"Quincy had a lot of big tackles for us," Chambless said. "He''s the type player that teams would run away from him. He also got quite a few sacks for us."
Wide receiver Jordan Ruth will travel all the way to Oskaloosa, Iowa, signed with William Penn University.
"I know a couple of players at William Penn," Ruth said. "I will play mainly receiver. But I may play some different positions. They run a wing-T and a spread. I want to contribute to the team and will do anything help them."
Chambless acknowledged Ruth''s work ethic and willingness to adapt to the needs of the team.
"Jordan played special teams and made some big catches," Chambless said. "He played wherever we need him and he was a good utility man."
Oak Hill''s Collins signs with EMCC
Oak Hill Academy''s Walt Collins said the opportunity to play for a championship-caliber football team influenced his decision Wednesday to sign a letter of intent with East Mississippi Community College.
At EMCC, Collins will compete for the long-snapper position on special teams.
"I really like the coaches," Collins said. "They had a good team this year, a championship team. It seemed they wanted me to be a part of it. They think I can help them, and I think I can help them out."
Collins played offensive line, defense, and long-snapper last season for the Raiders.
Oak Hill football coach Leroy Gregg states that Collins set high standards for himself and his teammates.
"Walt was one of our leaders on the practice field, in the dressing room, and in the weight room," Gregg said. "He helped push the other players and set a good example.
"Any time one of your own can go off to the next level and sign a scholarship and make a contribution to a really good football team, it is encouraging," Gregg said.

DORAL (CBSMiami) – One day after Doral's police chief was abruptly fired, the now former police chief fired back at the city officials who removed him from his post. He said he is considering taking legal action.
"[Doral Interim City Manager Merrett Stierheim] said, "If you resign, I won't talk bad about you", and I said, "Let's do something. Terminate me," Gomez explained.
And that's exactly what Stierheim did. Doral Police Chief Ricardo Gomez was fired Tuesday. He says it was abrupt and that he was forced to leave without gathering his personal belongings.
"I felt like I was a member of Al-Qaeda being taken to Gitmo," Gomez explained.
Gomez said that, at best, his dismissal was handled poorly, that it was politically motivated and that an FDLE report was used as the basis.
In that report were allegations of bid rigging, unfair termination and misuse of department funds. However, the state attorney found no crime was committed and did not prosecute.
On Tuesday, Steirheim said that report was what prompted him to fire Gomez.
"Some of the conduct that was going on inside… It just needed to change," said Stierheim.
Gomez's attorney said the decision to fire his client was made prior to the mayoral election and that a meeting between former mayoral candidates Frank Bolanos and Pete Cabrera is proof of that.
"Bolanos, one of two mayoral candidates still in the race, was asked in that meeting one thing: 'If you become mayor, will you fire the police chief and city manager? If so, I will give you my endorsement,'" said Attorney Ibrahim Reyes Gandara.
Bolanos told CBS4 that when he refused, he believes Cabrera then struck the deal with current Doral Mayor Luigi Boria.

I've hung my shingle out again as an editor!
The last time was in 2008 and not a lot happened. But things have changed in publishing as more and more new writers are uploading their works to digital hosting sites like Kindle, PubIt!, and Smashwords.
I'm no different--I've three titles from my backlist up and the books are earning money. I edited the hell out of them, proofing, tweaking and proofing again. I'm a perfectionist about that kind of thing, and it helps to have 20+ years of experience in the craft.
So I got to thinking other writers with books to upload might want to have a professional edit before releasing their words to the wild.
Where to go for a pro edit that won't cost too freaking much? That would be me.
The pitch is on the website, along with rates and turnaround time, and I DO cost a lot less than the others. The rates suggested by the Editorial Freelancers Association are also linked in, so you can compare the two.
My target market are those writers wanting a professional level edit for their baby. You get the same effort I put into the anthologies. Please, do check the names of all those NYTimes bestselling writers who have stories in them.
No, your book probably won't make that list, but it WILL read all the better for an editor's input.
To quote Amanda Hocking:
"My biggest word of advice to any new/future writers thinking about diving into Kindle: Edit. I don't care what you think, you didn't edit enough. Some people won't care that there's errors, its true, but enough of them will. And they paid for it, so they have a right to. So edit more. And then again. Really."
Sounds like a plan. Check it out!

i have to disagree there. i love analog sounds and drum machines in general but there's just a wealth of possibilities for processing/synthesis and sequencing that just didn't exist "back then". plus... the vintage synths and machines are still around to play with too so you still can get those solid sounds as building blocks. not knocking the past. i embrace it. i just think sound design in general has made massive leaps especially what's going on in electronic music. you may have to look a little harder for it but it's definitely there. there's still a long thread of Morton Subotnik running through lot's of stuff these days.
i'm curious what younger artists you are into and what you find interesting or inspiring that was made at a later date?

Never one to do things by halves, Nahji Chu is about launch the latest addition to the Misschu posse – and this time it's less about rice paper and more about potato.
While her choice of a main ingredient might come as a shock, it's hardly surprising that she's counting down the days to the launch of her latest project – every time we check in she's got something on the boil. Last month it was the opening of not only Misschu underground in the CBD, but also the release of Gidget Chu wines and the Misschu iPhone app.
This time she's just returned from a jaunt to the Cannes Film Festival and she's about to unveil the sister store to her Misschu Bondi tuckshop, titled Potato Ghetto.
Housed in the Beach House complex in Bondi, Chu has been working on the eatery's final incarnation for a while (at one stage it was going to be a kind of Vietnamese ennoteca), but it's finally found its footing as a celebration of all things potato and crepe, just not as you know them. Right now, we're sampling Bánh xèo, the crunchy Vietnamese crepe broken up and wrapped DIY style in rice paper. It's one of the headline acts at the new Potato Ghetto venue when it opens this Friday.
The finishing touches are going on the signature Misschu tuckshop-like space. There're the soup bowl lights, the wood-look tiles, the awnings and the banks of windows. Music thumps in the background, bringing life and energy to the narrow space. While recognisably Chu, there are plenty of points of difference, including the small loft area where you can book out seating for a private party, complete with a tiny John Malkovich room that you have to crawl into, connected by a catwalk. There's something so deliciously cubby house about it that it's hard to resist.
So what was the idea behind Potato Ghetto? For Chu, health and convenience are, as ever, a top priority, particularly when Chu thinks about her Bondi clientele. She also wanted to provide an alternative comfort food for the colder weather that notoriously unsettles the Bondi scene. But mostly, the focus on sweet potato harked back to her childhood.
Chu points to a steamer on the shelf. "My mum used to put them [sweet potatoes] in a pot before she went to work when we were kids, so that there was something for us to eat when we got home and she was still out working, and that was what I wanted – just this," she says as she dumps a simple, thin, sweet potato on the table. "That's all I wanted, there really isn't anything better than just that, steamed."
It sounds simple, but these 'tatoes are far from dull. The menu at Potato Ghetto is built around the old kids' song – 'one potato, two potato, three potato, four' – with potato-base options laid out and a list of additional items to add to them. It's a playful menu and one that lets the potato take centre stage without being stodgy or dull. Chu says it's all about juxtaposition.
"Everything we do has to be that, juxtaposition. That's exactly what I am. I'm a refugee, but I'm not just that anymore." And so she hit on the humble potato and tricked it up to make it Potato Ghetto.
As always Chu is working to improve the community spirit of the area, chipping away at turning the laneway of the Beach House complex into a relaxed community space. And as always she's coming up against the now familiar opposition of the less imaginatively minded. True to form though, it's not stopping her, only these days she's choosing her battles.
And right now, a much more entertaining battle is the one you can fight with old school toy potato guns in the shooting gallery at Potato Ghetto.
Potato Ghetto opens this Friday July 6.

The Crowne Plaza's Place To Meet island is not open yet, but you can register on their site to reserve each of the three meeting they offer: the Executive Conference Room, the Theater Room and the Lounge Room. I love this idea and I plan to give it a test run as soon as I find the time. I'll let you know how it goes.
Place to Meet is strategically placed next to Holiday Inn Island. I wonder how long it will be until we hear "I don't know much about virtual worlds, but I did stay at the Holiday Inn last night"? My guess is at the next Virtual Worlds 2007 Conference in October.

- Overjoyed
- 5 years ago
- Wedding: September 2013
I've been noticing this more and more and I wonder if it's a phenomenon in general or if it's just me and my circle. My social group is composed primarily of couples. Of the 10 or so couples with which we have regular contact, I'm the only wife who works. Some of them have kids and some don't. None of them have ever worked. The other wives are nice ladies, but I notice that they make lots of little comments which I find a bit snarky. Mostly it's comprised of presumptuous –and inapplicable–advice about how I should keep my husband happy/interested and back handed compliments whenever they see me do something that seems "domestic." I already have enough trouble finding things to talk about with these ladies as it is, but I took it really hard the other day when one of them saw me at the end of a 16 hour day and told me that I should wear more makeup because "your husband will love it." It took everything in me not to remind her "hello, you're a stay-at-home mom with one child (who is in school half the day) and you have a housekeeper, so OF COURSE you have plenty of time to sit around in a full face of make-up waiting for your husband to get home. I'm sorry that I'm out earning a living and that my value to our family is so obvious that it doesn't need to be underlined with red lipstick." Despite the judginess of HER comment, I'm sure if I had said what I was thinking, I'd be deemed the bad guy. Do any of you have any experience with this? Or, are there any housewives who can help me see where these ladies might be coming from?

MERIDEN - It took a little longer in the season than the Berlin boys basketball team would have liked, but the Redcoats are heading back to the postseason.
Gianni Fanelli scored 21 points and Holden Murphy added 11 to help Berlin overcome a slow and shaky start to beat Platt 57-53 Friday night, clinching a spot in the Division III playoffs as a result.
The victory also snaps a three-game losing skid.
"Happy to get that eighth win," Redcoats head coach Mike Veneziano said. "Hopefully we can end the season on a strong note and go on a run."
While Fanelli and Murphy provided the offense, it was Nick Carroll's defense that helped provide the spark for Berlin to turn an early 11-point deficit into an eventual lead.
"Early on, the gym was quite," Veneziano said. "Our team wasn't playing with a lot of energy, we were sloppy with the ball and we didn't play very good defense. Nick did a very good job of forcing some turnovers. He really provided a nice lift for us off the bench."
Carson Coon led the Panthers with a double-double, scoring 13 points and pulling down 13 rebounds.
Berlin is now 8-9 on the season and will next host Maloney on Tuesday.
Goodwin Tech 87, Windham Tech 70: The Gladiators continued to improve their postseason standing.
Luis Aguiar finished with a game-high 34 points while teammates Josh Peeples and Francisco also put up double-digit points with 25 and 16 respectively to lead Goodwin Tech to its 14th win of the season.
The Gladiators jumped out to an early 14-point lead during the first quarter and never looked back. The game was out of reach by the end of the first half.
Andre Jose led Windham Tech with 17 points.
Tolland 58, Innovation 38: It was a game of catch up the entire night for the Ravens and unfortunately for them, they were unable to.
Innovation struggled to stop the Eagles' three primary scorers, all of whom finished the night in double figures. Brian Geitner led Tolland with a game-high 18 points, while Tim Restall scored 16 and Josh Tubbs added 10.
"Tonight's game was decided in the first half because we didn't come out with the defensive intensity that we needed," Ravens head coach Matt Lance said. "In the second half, our guys decided to come out with the intensity they needed to. We have to find a way to be consistent for all four quarters if we want to be successful.
Malcolm Lewis led Innovation with 10 points.
The Ravens are now 11-6 on the season.
Southington 55, Conard 38: It was another game the Blue Knights controlled for the beginning and that meant another big performance from Janette Wadolowski.
The senior finished with a double-double, ending her night with 22 points and 18 rebounds.
Bri Harris finished second on the team with eight points.
But Southington never let the Chieftains find a grove or get into any kind of confront zone, especially during the second and third quarters when the Blue Knights also struggled at times to find the basket.
Lena Proietti led Conard with 14 points.
Southington is now 14-5 on the season and will honor Wadolowski - the team's only senior - on senior night Monday.
Southington 87, Middletown 81: The Blue Knights continue to swim well as they prepare for the Class LL state meet.
As a result, Southington got plenty of strong performances along the way.
The medley relay team of Derek Melanson, Brendon Egan, Evan Bender and Alex Kuhr took first with a time of 1:48.76.
The 400 free relay team of Tyler Heidgerd, Brian Egan, Bender, and Brendon Egan also took first. The group finished in a time of 3:39.15.
Individually, Heidgerd and Derek Melanson were both double winners.
Heidgerd took both the 200 freestyle (1:55.05) and 100 freestyle (52.78), while Melanson won the 500 freestyle (5:13.06) and 100 backstroke (59.41).
Brendon Egan, meanwhile, took first in the 200 IM (2:10.37).
Southington (5-2) will next compete on Tuesday at Conard at 3:30 p.m.

As tree's unfold in full bloom, sleepy queen bee's drift in the mild breeze and the first signs of hayfever tickle your nose, it's truly beginning to feel like spring! I take this as an indicator, a green light of sorts to kickstart the spring cleaning - clearing clutter and ensuring that every corner of my home is squeaky clean! Whilst tackling my bathroom, I noticed that my Lush supplies were dwindling, my last sparkly pumpkin a crumbly, sorry mess and a lonely magic wand with the bell missing from the festive season. I decided to take to Lush to spy their new spring collections and to replenish my stash. I thought I would share the pieces that caught my eye, along with a couple of old favourites that always make a re-appearance for me at this time of the year too!
Oh my, this smells heavenly! With a honey sweet, rich, warming and uplifting citrus fragrance, this mouthwatering, moisturising scrub smells good enough to eat! It's cleverly striped with layers of exfoliating ground almond and coconut pieces and richly nourishing shea butter, coco butter and coconut oil. It leaves skin silky soft - it's a whole pampering treatment in one! I've completely fallen for this cute lil bee, I'm tempted to pick up another to stock up!
I'm a sucker for Lush's shower gels, they lather beautifully, leave skin soft and the scent normally lingers for hours after. I picked this up on a whim - described as a floral bouquet of jasmine and rose, with uplifting neroli to lift spirits, I couldn't resist. However, the scent is so subtle - a plus if you find Lush scents a tad strong, but for me it was a bit of a let down. It leaves skin soft and extremely clean but it's also very pigmented, so orange that it took a lot of rising to remove! It's possible that I got a faulty batch - I haven't seen any other reviews yet so I can't compare, but I think next time I'll stick to something I love - like the Comforter Shower Cream.
I fall for this toffee sweet sparkly egg each year, it's reminiscence to the Harry Potter Triwizard Tournament Golden Egg just makes it irresistible to me! The glittery gold layers melt away when placed in the bath, infusing the water with a luxe, moisturising mix of oils. With olive oil, cocobutter and uplifting sweet orange and bergamot oils, it's ideal for parched, post winter skin!
This gorgeous, buttery, multi-purpose balm is an all over pampering treat! It contains shea butter, mango butter, coconut oil, beeswax, lanolin, avocado oil... so many nourishing ingredients! You only need the smallest amount of this lemon meringue pie scented pick to smooth over any dry patches and it leaves skin soft and supple.
This year round saviour is a staple to keep lips in top condition. It buffs, smooths and preps lips with hydrating coconut oil, jojoba oil and sea salt and caster sugar to exfoliate. Another divine scented pick from Lush, it's toffee sweet, buttery and has a hint of sea salt - Yum!
Have you spied the new Lush Spring collections yet?SaveSave

Core Studies
The following is an overview of secondary core studies:
Most students who have attended FACS in elementary school are prepared for pre-algebra in seventh grade, following up with algebra in eighth. Those who need additional practice before moving on to higher math study general math in seventh and pre-algebra in eighth.
High school students work at general college preparatory or honors levels in algebra I and II, geometry and pre-calculus (which includes probability and trigonometry). Advanced placement calculus also is available. Following this course, students may test for qualification to receive college credit. Dual enrollment college algebra is a popular choice among seniors.
Select, high-performing students compete each year in the American Math Exams.
Junior and senior high curricula include Saxon, Houghton Mifflin, McDougal Littell and Addison Wesley.
Natural Science
Junior high students are given a basic foundation in both biology and Earth science. High school students are required to complete a minimum of three science courses, choosing from biology, honors biology, anatomy and physiology, honors anatomy & physiology, physical science, chemistry, honors chemistry, honors chemistry II, physics and advanced placement biology.
In addition to acquiring knowledge needed for college entrance examinations and postsecondary coursework, students also gain insight into scientific issues in the context of a Christian worldview.
FACS takes an integrative approach to the teaching of grammar and writing. Literature and grammar are taught in specific units and incorporated into writing assignments throughout junior and senior high school.
All students complete vocabulary units from seventh through 12th grades, gaining constant practice in utilizing vocabulary required for success on standardized tests and college entrance exams.
In literature, students follow a six-year structured reading plan that covers classic works and authors in drama, novel, short story and poetry. For instance, students analyze the works of Edgar Allen Poe four of their six years in secondary school. By the time they leave FACS, students are acquainted with Poe as a writer of horror materials as well as the inventor of the detective story.
Students survey world literature their freshman year, studying it in greater depth as sophomores. Juniors study American literature. Honors English is available to qualified students from the freshman through junior years. Seniors choose between standard British literature and a more rigorous AP English course in British literature. Many of our AP students qualify for college credit, after examination. Dual enrollment college English also is available for seniors.
Social Sciences
FACS is dedicated to teaching social studies and history in a way that contrasts sharply with secular education. While many secular textbooks revise history to emphasize politically correct viewpoints, texts chosen by FACS present a clear picture of historical events that teachers use as a springboard for thoughtful reflection.
As one of our teachers puts it: "One must admit the reality of absolute truth before one can accurately assess historical events. One cannot have a positive effect on the future when the past is framed incorrectly."
After completing social studies units in seventh grade, FACS students begin a formal study of history with an eighth grade survey of American history. High school students must complete four units in social sciences: world history, world geography, economics (1/2 unit) and American government (1/2 unit). Our more serious-minded students take an advanced placement U.S. history course, for which the syllabus has been authorized and approved by the College Board. These students may qualify for college credit, following examination. Advanced placement and dual enrollment government also are offered.
World Languages
Mastering a world language is important not only for college entrance and study, but also for ministry and business application in an increasingly multi-lingual society.
Students who completed elementary studies at FACS already have a basic foundation in Spanish.
Beginning in the freshman year, FACS students working toward an arts & sciences diploma commit to at least two years of language study. Some complete three years. Courses are offered in Spanish, French, German, and Latin.
In addition to formal language study, many FACS students utilize language skills on short-term mission trips. Some FACS French students also immerse themselves more deeply in the language during summer trips.
Business & Technology
Students practice keyboarding in elementary and junior high school. In addition, freshmen must complete a formal computer keyboarding course.
Other business and technology courses are offered as electives. These include accounting (a basic study of general principles as used in proprietorship, partnership and corporation setting) and computer applications I and II.
Computer applications I covers use of Excel and Power Point software. Computer applications II involves advanced usage of Excel and Power Point and also enables students to gain proficiency in Word, Access, and Desktop Publishing.
Bible & Worldview
Biblical instruction at FACS is non-denominational, focusing on essential Christian doctrine with practical application.
The goal at the secondary level is to thoroughly ground students in an understanding of the major worldviews that frame decisions and lifestyles in the family, workplace, and society.
Texts from Colorado-based Summit Ministries contrast a Biblical worldview with other prominent worldviews such as secular humanism and Marxism-Leninism. Students discover how a person's worldview colors his understanding of theology, philosophy, ethics, biology, psychology, law, politics, economics and history.

This year's post-season was frustrating because it left us with a lot of what ifs. What if Adam Marsh was healthy? What if Mathieu Joseph didn't get hurt? What if Bokondji Imama didn't get suspended? What if everyone on the Sea Dogs' roster was present and healthy? It's not out of the question to say the Sea Dogs may still be playing right now if some things had gone their way. But it is what it is. And that's no doubt a bit frustrating.
But at the same time – and for the same reasons – this playoff run proved to be surprising and pleasant. This team found ways to score goals without two of their top goal scorers. Other players stepped up into bigger roles. This team pleasantly surprised on a number of nights – and gave plenty of reasons to be excited about next season and beyond.
This year's post-season was certainly entertaining. The first round wasn't an awful lopsided series, which was nice. The second round against Cape Breton was one of the best in Sea Dogs history – and finally featured a game seven. And the third round had the Shawinigan-Saint John matchup we've been waiting years for. You've got to be pretty happy with all that.
Some other takes from the playoffs…
- Sam Povorozniouk finishes with 14 goals and 11 assists in 17 playoff games. He finished his one-year QMJHL career with 53 goals in 85 games. He will be missed.
- Thomas Chabot finished the playoffs with an incredible three goals and 18 assists, which places him sixth in overall scoring. The Sea Dogs might be missing him next year as well, but that's up to the Ottawa Senators.
- Obviously, the third round could have been a whole lot different if the Sea Dogs had pulled off wins in games three and four at home. Oh well.
- Saint John finished the post-season with an average of 4,321 fans per game, which is the highest amount of any remaining team.
- I don't care what you think of Shawinigan and their fans, it would be something to have that kind of atmosphere inside Harbour Station.
- Joe Veleno was quiet at times this post-season and then looked like an exceptional player at other times. He was unreal in game four and finished the playoffs with six goals and an assist. It'll be fun to watch him moving forward.
- The Sea Dogs ended the playoffs with a four-game losing streak.
- In four of the five games against Shawinigan, Saint John gave up five or more goals. Anthony Beauvillier led the way with six goals and six assists.
- Saint John managed to score three or more goals on Philippe Cadorette in four of the five games, so that's something.
- Marc-Antoine Turcotte posted a 6.00 GAA and .810 SV% in the semifinals. The Sea Dogs simply could not contain the Cataractes' big guns.
- Will the Sea Dogs ever win an elimination game in Shawinigan? That's a building that has not been kind to Saint John.
- It was nice to see Matthew Highmore have a strong post-season – and regular season as well – after the season he had last year.
- If you didn't catch the 96.1 NewSong FM post-game show on Friday, it was revealed that Matt Murphy did indeed suffer a separated shoulder in game two.
- Murphy played in his 76th and final career QMJHL playoff game on Friday. That's a lot.
- The Sea Dogs played 17 playoff games this year. They played 17 en route to a QMJHL title in 2012. Makes ya think.

REDONDO BEACH, Calif., Jan. 3, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Last year will go down as one of the most successful on record for Northrop Grumman Corporation's (NYSE:NOC) high-energy laser systems, which generated the most intense laser beams, the highest power levels, and the longest operating times yet seen in industry.
"By any standard, 2006 was one of the most successful years in the company's history of more than three decades of 'high-energy laser firsts,'" said Alexis Livanos, president of Northrop Grumman's Space Technology sector. "We are blazing new paths and identifying more uses at a record pace for this mature technology."
Mike McVey, vice president of Directed Energy Systems, noted that in addition to making laser weapons more flexible as missions expand, rapid advancements also are making them more affordable. "Laser weapons are becoming much less expensive compared with other solutions for force protection against indirect fire threats. We estimate that accomplishments in 2006 could easily translate into high-energy laser weapons costing one-fourth the total system cost of tactical missiles."
This is a recap of the company's high-energy laser highlights in 2006:
January 2006: - Northrop Grumman Space Technology announces that it has been chosen by the U.S. military to develop a solid-state laser powerful enough (100 kW) to accomplish many force protection and strike missions under the Joint High Power Solid State Laser program. - The company also announces delivery of the refurbished, high reliability Beacon Illuminator Laser (BILL), which demonstrated its robustness with hundreds of high power firings in 2006, to The Boeing Company, prime contractor for the Airborne Laser. - Successful ABL high-power laser tests at the Systems Integration Laboratory at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., produced the required levels of power and run-time necessary to destroy a ballistic missile during its 'boost phase.' July 2006: - Based on proven technology, safety and performance of its legacy system, Skyguard, a ground-based laser air defense system, debuts as a powerful defense against rockets, missiles and mortars. October 2006: - The U.S. Department of Homeland Security selects Skyguard as a possible protection for civil aircraft and commercial airports from the threat of MANPAD-type missiles. - The laser optical system for the ABL passed, ahead of schedule, a critical milestone, or Knowledge Point, set by the U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA) as a requirement for continued development of the first flight aircraft. - The company introduces Vesta, a compact laser weapon powerful enough to protect fixed assets sites on the ground and precision strike by manned and unmanned aircraft, which demonstrated world- record continuous wave brightness for a solid-state laser. - Northrop Grumman announces that the Strategic Illuminator (SILL) Laser developed for MDA achieved a new world record in brightness (power and beam quality) for a continuously pulsed, solid state laser. In addition to advancing high-energy laser brightness to a new level, the SILL system employs advanced materials and packaging techniques to yield a smaller, lighter and more rugged laser compared with predecessors.
Northrop Grumman Space Technology has been a leader in developing and demonstrating high-energy lasers for more than 30 years. The company's 'high-energy laser firsts' include destroying rockets, missiles, mortars and artillery in flight, and successful firings of the first megawatt-class laser built for an airborne environment.
Northrop Grumman Corporation is a $30 billion global defense and technology company whose 120,000 employees provide innovative systems, products, and solutions in information and services, electronics, aerospace and shipbuilding to government and commercial customers worldwide.

Childhood immunizations | Immunization services & schedules | TB clinic | Sexual Health clinic
The Kansas City, Missouri Health Department's (KCHD) Sexual Health Clinic provides confidential sexually transmitted disease (STD) testing and treatment. We test for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, and other diseases/infections.
There are no fees for testing or STD treatment, if needed.
Regular clinic hours:
- Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday | 8am – 11:30am and 1pm – 3:30pm (except holidays)
- (Clinic closes from noon to 1pm for lunch)
- Thursday: 8am to 1pm (registration closes at 12:30pm on Thursdays)
To schedule an appointment please call 816-513-6379, Monday – Friday from 8am to 5pm
- Anyone 13 years of age and older can utilize the Sexual Health Clinic without parental permission.
- Clients are called by numbers/letters throughout the visit to ensure confidentiality.
- Testing and treatment are provided for clients with confirmed exposure to certain STDs.
- Rapid HIV tests, results in 20 minutes or less, are available.
- Women who are getting testing or treatment will be offered a pregnancy test.
- Test results are usually available within 7 to 10 business days.
- Walk-ins are accepted if clinic slots are available.
- Confidential HIV testing and counseling available without an appointment.
- Staff can provide assistance with partner notification, referral services, and patient counseling, if needed.
To obtain test results for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis, call our counselor line at 816-513-6132 between the hours of 8am – 5pm, Monday through Friday, and request this information. HIV test results, however, are never given over the phone. You must come in person to KCHD, 2nd floor, Suite 2000, to get your HIV result. You must present picture identification to obtain your results in person.
People who are HIV-positive should be especially concerned and tested regularly because they can have far more serious infections from STDs than people without HIV. Someone who has both HIV and Syphilis, for example, may find that both infections are sped through their normal processes into advanced stages of both diseases far sooner than someone with only one or the other.
If you require treatment and/or additional testing, before you receive your test results, KCHD will contact you. Please notify our office if your address or phone number changes. All clinical services are free and confidential.
If you have been tested at our clinic and have been given an access code or have previously registered to use the online clinic results application, you can check your results by going to the online clinic results page.
If you have additional questions or wish to speak with a counselor, please call 816-513-6132, Monday – Friday from 8am to 5pm.
KCHD provides confidential testing, not anonymous testing. Your medical privacy is very important to us.
