Attorney General negotiated settlement gives 5 Paugus Woods homeowners option to sell property back to the developer
- Published in Local News
LACONIA — As part of a negotiated settlement with the N.H. Attorney General, developer Brady Sullivan Properties has agreed to buy back the home of five families who purchased homes here in the Villas at Paugus Woods, LLC — if the owners want to sell.
The agreement, which was announced yesterday afternoon, was approved by Belknap County Superior Court on January 27, ending a legal battle that began in December of 2010 when a Sarasota Lane family reported some cracks in their modular home.
Told by Brady Sullivan the cracks were "cosmetic," they notified the state fire marshal and asked for an inspection. Fire Marshal Ken Walsh's affidavits were made public and said that the lag bolts that connect module "C" with the rest of the three-part modular home were not installed.
Walsh also noted that the foundations under the "C" module was not constructed in a way that would support it.
"Because of these failures," wrote former Attorney General Mike Delaney in his filing, "the C Module was physically moving away from the remainder of the house.
The separation of the "C" module was creating the drywall cracks that the family noticed and reported.
Other problems in some of the homes that were inspected were in ventilation and air handling systems as well as electrical issues.
All totaled, Walsh said he got eight complaints and contacted Brady Sullivan to see how the company was going to resolve the complaints.
The Villas at Paugus Woods is a multi-unit sub-division off White Oaks Road. Initially started by a different private developer, the entire subdivision was purchased by Brady Sullivan in 2009.
Brady Sullivan attorneys contended that the City of Laconia had inspected all of the homes and occupancy permits were issued.
On January 13, 2011, city officials, Walsh, and the Brady Sullivan project construction manager met with representatives of all of the subcontractors with the exception of Excel Homes, whose attorneys said the company was in bankruptcy.
Brady Sullivan agreed to stop selling homes while a resolution was in the offing but later asked for and received an exemption for two buyers who had already given up their former homes.
AG Delaney brought suit against Brady Sullivan after learning that an independent inspector had identified 20 code violations that still existed.
The agreement between the state and Brady Sullivan also states that at the attorney generals request, an independent engineer was engaged to inspect every home in the sub-division and fix any defects identified and fix them at Brady Sullivan's expense.
Brady Sullivan must also pay $85,000 in administrative costs and investigative costs to the State of New Hampshire.
Owners of the five homes offered buyouts couldn't not be reached for comment.

George Harrison was born on February 25, 1943 in Liverpool, England. He was the youngest member of the fame British band known as the Beatles. He was 14-years-old when Paul McCartney introduced him to John Lennon. However, George Harrison's musical destiny began before he was a famed Beatle. He and his brother created their own musical ensemble called the Skiffle Band. During this early time in his life, the only instruments needed to make music were an acoustic guitar, a washboard and a tea chest. After becoming a Beatle, George not only played the guitar for the group, he sang and wrote music too. One of the first songs that bear his name as a songwriter is a tune called "Don't Bother Me." His journey as a Beatle and then as a solo artist makes him a legend and an icon in the history of music. George Harrison passed away at the age of 58 in Los Angeles, California.
Harrison and the Beatles
The Beatles became very popular in 1960 and lasted for 10 years. The rock and roll band members were John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison. Their style of music and their famed hairstyle are two of the main characteristics that made these four British lads stand out and get notice. During the 60's, they had music that hit the top of the charts, songs such as Love Me Do, P.S. I Love You, I Want to Hold Your Hand and Please, Please Me. As one of the famed Beatles, George Harrison played the lead guitar and composed the musical tracks of Here Comes the Sun, Help, While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Something. Although Harrison played lead guitar with the Beatles, his first actual guitar was a beginner's Egmond. He also played the vintage F-hole acoustic. In 1959, he switched over from acoustic to electric and started strumming on a Resonet Futurama. Other guitars that he played were the Gretsch 6128 Duo Jet, the Gibson J-160-E and the Gretsch Jet Fire Bird. Harrison introduced the band to other forms of instruments such as the 12-string eclectic guitar, the slide guitar, the sitar and the tambura.
Solo Work
Although the Beatles went their separate ways in 1970, Harrison continued his music career as a solo artist, showing that his worth and talent could stand-alone. Out on his own, the first album he released was All Things Must Pass. This turned out to be a 3-disc album with songs such as My Sweet Lord, What is Life and I Dig Love, to name a few. This debut album demonstrates that George had the ability to write, arrange and produce. There were more albums to follow, for instance, Dark Horse, Wonderwall and Living in the Material World. To compliment his music style and craft, Harrison had keyboard players, drummers, bass players, sax and flute players as well as people on strings. He even had a table player backing his musical renditions, very different from his days in the Rebel band ages before.
Conclusion: What is George Harrison's Musical Legacy
Although George Harrison's fame to glory began with the Beatles, his legacy does not end there, for he was a warm and compassionate person on a journey to improve himself and the world. People remember him not only for his musical talent, but also for his unchanging love and compassion of those less fortunate around the world. He was a man with a big heart, a humanitarian. Although a superstar in the eyes of many, he wore a spiritual clock of armor that sustained and moved him beyond the materialistic world. When you think of George Harrison's musical legend, a song that might come to the forefront of your mind is "My Sweet Lord", But as for the legacy of the man himself, the words that come to mind is peace and love, for that is what Harrison was all about.

A Washington Tragedy
By Hugh Turley
Equal justice under the
law dates back to the funeral oration of Pericles. The grand jury can
safeguard equal justice and defend citizens from tyranny. Sometimes
justice can be best served when a grand jury refuses to indict a citizen, even
when that citizen may be guilty of a crime.
Justice is not equal
when one citizen is targeted for prosecution while other citizens are not.
Deborah Jeane Palfrey called the "DC Madam" by the press, was convicted of
running a prostitution service that served Washington's political elite.
After her conviction
and suicide by hanging, WTOP reporter Neil Augenstein said Palfrey had told him
she thought; "someone in the government had targeted her for prosecution."
Maybe she was right. The Federal Government normally does not prosecute
prostitution. Violations of local statutes are usually prosecuted by local
Palfrey was indicted
under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (commonly referred
to as RICO). The act provides harsh penalties and permits the government
to seize the assets of the person indicted. Persons indicted under RICO
often plead guilty to lesser charges because they cannot afford a defense
attorney after their assets have been seized.
The grand jury indictment charged
Palfrey with racketeering, interstate commerce in aid of racketeering, and
conspiracy to launder money obtained in exchange for sexual intercourse.
Under the RICO indictment the government seized her assets including her
bank accounts, investments, home, and gold coins in her home.
Palfrey was not charged with income
tax evasion and reportedly paid her taxes and filed 1099 forms for her
Uncovering an escort service involved
in prostitution is reminiscent of Claude Raines closing Humphrey Bogart's Cafe
in the film Casablanca. "I'm
shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on here," said Captain
Renault, as a croupier handed him a pile of money saying, "your winnings,
Yellow-page telephone directories have
hundreds of pages of sexually suggestive advertisements under "escorts."
The online Yellow Pages has 144 escort listings in Washington with names
like, Bad Girls, No Limit Exotic Dancers, Sexy Girls, A One Night Stand,
Black Fantasy, Anything Goes, and Hot Girls.
In other cities, Yellowpages.com
lists134 escort services in Miami, 153 in Minneapolis, 186 in Chicago, 228 in
Los Angeles, 301 in Atlanta, 373 in Dallas, TX.
Even the small town of Crooks, South Dakota, population 859, has 5 escort
services listed at Yellowpages.com.
If escort services are engaged in
prostitution are the companies that profit from advertising these services also
part of a racketeering enterprise?
In exchange for an interview, Palfrey
gave her telephone records to ABC News.
She told ABC news that Brandy Britton, charged with prostitution by
Howard County, Maryland, once worked for her.
Britton reportedly hanged herself before her trial.
The trial judge suppressed the phone
numbers and names of Palfrey's 10,000 customers. This information could have been subpoenaed and examined by
the grand jurors. If the grand
jurors had discovered that trusted public officials were associated with the
criminal enterprise they could have been indicted.
Thomas Aquinas wrote, "It is
impossible that the common good of any state can be fittingly maintained in the
absence of virtuous citizens, at the very least in the person of those citizens
who play leadership roles within the state."
Removing corrupt officials would better serve the community than jailing
the "DC Madam".
The federal grand jury could have
refused to indict Palfrey. They
could have issued subpoenas and investigated who made the decision to target
Palfrey's escort service under the RICO Act?
They could have questioned the prosecutor under oath.
It is odd that Palfrey was indicted
for conspiracy, but no other conspirators were indicted. None of the companies advertising the prostitution nor
Palfrey's prostitutes or customers were indicted by the federal grand jury.
Grand juries, also called the
people's panel, have historically played an adversarial role with
government prosecutors. Given
recent legislation like the Patriot Act, our fellow citizens serving on the
grand jury may be a citizen's best hope for equal justice.
Grand jurors should be apprehensive when it appears one individual is
being targeted.
Palfrey's last hope for justice
disappeared when the petit jury found her guilty. Jury nullification is when a jury ignores the instructions of
the judge and the law. Citizens can
do what they think is right to assure justice.
The jury could have found Palfrey innocent in spite of the evidence
against her.
Perhaps a future grand jury will
choose to subpoena the phone records of Deborah Jeane Palfrey and the
investigative records surrounding her prosecution and death.

Hello all! My FI and I are getting married at Dreams Punta Cana this November and are super pumped about the resort. Originally we were thinking about staying at Dreams for our entire stay (around 12 days), but now we're wondering if we should go to another resort after our wedding so it feels more like a separate honeymoon. Also, we love Dreams, but we chose it in part because it was the best fit for our wedding. We might be interested in staying somewhere more intimate for the honeymoon. Anybody else do this? Are we crazy? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Here is a link to Craig Hill's story that ran in today's News Tribune.
Lee F. Adams, 52, of Seattle, is believed dead after he and three other climbers fell Tuesday into a crevasse while descending Mount Rainier on the Emmons Glacier.
According to Lee Taylor, spokeswoman at Mount Rainier National Park, the four were at 13,000 feet on the mountain's northeast flank when the last of the climbers on the rope fell.
Climbing rangers dispatched to the summit by helicopter recovered Adams's body from the crevasse and were waiting for the helicopter to return to transport the body of the mountain, Taylor said.
The weight of the climber was enough to pull down the other three, and they all slid into a large crevasse.
"They tried to self-arrest but couldn't and fell into the crevasse one after the other," Taylor said.
She said they have not learned how far the group slid before falling into the crevasse.
Two of the group landed on a false floor in the crevasse and were not injured, Taylor said.
Adams and another climber fell deeper into the icy crack. The other suffered an injured knee.
Taylor said the three survivors were able to climb out of the crevasse and made their way to Camp Schurman at 9,510 feet on the mountain. They arrived at the camp about 3 p.m. and reported the incident to climbing rangers stationed there.
Two of the survivors are walking off the mountain today with the help of a climbing ranger while the injured climber was to be flown off the mountain today by helicopter.
Taylor said rangers are working their way to the accident scene now and hope to recover the body and fly it off the mountain later in the day.
None of the other climbers have been identified.
This is the third fatal accident on the upper mountain in a two-month span.
On June 5, Mark Wedeven, 29, of Olympia, disappeared after he was hit by an avalanche. Climbing the mountain alone, Wedeven was at 12,000 feet when the slide swept him away. His body has not been recovered. The slide hit 10 other climbers and three had to be dug out of the snow.
On July 4, 57-year-old Eric Lewis of Duvall disappeared after he apparently unclipped from a line while attempting to reach the summit with two other climbers. He either fell into a crevasse or was caught in an ice floe. Searchers found Lewis' backpack, climbing harness and snow shovel at 13,600 feet, and a snow cave at 13,800. His body has not been recovered.

Other "Thinking Drafts" and writing by Keith Drury --http://www.indwes.edu/tuesday .
Many of us were raised on what we believed to be poorly planned second-rate worship services. When we took over we determined to improve them, and we did. We decided that people wouldn't accept second rate worship services, so we would do everything first class. Along with the rest of our culture, we too went off 'In Search of Excellence.'
So, we installed first rate soundboards, excellent lighting, bought a half dozen mikes, deployed a quality praise team to use them. We sidelined 'Sister Agnes,' our local accompanist, in favor of perfectly crafted orchestra sound tracks for our soloists. They now sounded almost as good as the best singers in the country, (so long as we played the sound track loud enough.
We avoided like AIDS the #1 enemy of production worship -- DEAD SPACE! Things whipped along nicely with our minute-by-minute schedule , with nary a moment of silence. We banished anything second rate and the resulting quality performances in some churches (especially our living Christmas trees) competed favorably with many secular performances. You didn't have to be afraid to invite your rich neighbors any more to these productions. In fact, a few churches even named 'producers' for their services, to coordinate all the setup, sound, lights, drama, music, soundtracks, and most of all... the 'flow.' We searched for excellence and found it. In the last 15 years, worship services in most churches -- and all the growing ones -- have gotten to be first class. These churches now offer a fast-paced production that snaps along as quickly as a TV special, and almost as interesting.
One thing you've got to give us Boomers credit for -- we do things well. We do not always see the implications of our revolutions, but the revolution itself is always done well. However, in this move to production worship, what we did not count on was the eventual effect of our fast-paced excellence-production-spectator orientation.
It took several years for our 'customers' to notice it. But they eventually started to sense there was something missing. Our music now only expressed the 'top half' of human religious emotion -- the happy half. Our preaching eventually focused only on the sunny half of the Gospel, and people increasingly sensed there was part of truth they weren't getting in their diet. But most of all, our fast-paced snappy services eventually left people feeling frantic and hurried, much like they feel on a busy freeway. And this is where an increasing number of lay worshipers are today. They think their worship service feels somehow 'contrived' or unnatural, and even 'fake.' They are tired of being spectators and worship watchers. They are weary of being shouted at -- they want conversational preaching, and more subdued tone from the singers too. (You can shout at people in either music or preaching.) They are weary of being whipped up, and yearn for a more peaceful, relaxed, worship experience. "Mellow" may be the term. They are even willing to (EEEEEEK!) have times of 'silence' (of the Quaker variety) as a part of the service. They are even falling in love with the mournful pensive saxophone sound in worship (thank you, Kenny). An increasing number of laity now want a worship service to reflect the 'bottom half' of the full range of emotions too... the half where mourning, brokeness, grieving, sorrow, pain, and sadness are expressed.
How disappointing! Now that we've finally got it right, they aren't happy. What do they want? They want something more 'real.' 'I wish it was more authentic.' What do they mean? They feel that what we have produced is 'contrived.' Less perfect. Whaaaaat? Less perfect? How can that be? We have always assumed that the future is where a more perfect worship could be produced.
Consider Mariah Carey for example. Excellence-bent Boomers can not comprehend the news that background 'hash' was fed into her new CD 'Music Box.' (I have not met one Boomer yet who understands this... they just wag their head and treat the news like purple hair -- now why would they want to do that?') Why make anything less perfect? We were delighted to toss out our scratchy old LP records. Why feed background 'hash' into a perfectly good CD recording? Because it sounds more 'real' to a generation overdosed on perfect production. Increasingly, 'authentic' is becoming more important than 'perfection.'
I saw this illustrated last month in a church featuring a trumpet solo by a mildly retarded young man. Along the way, he missed his tune and started playing several notes off. Boomers squirmed. You could tell they were worried about how visitors might perceive this imperfect performance. However, at lunch with several generation X people, the remarks were totally different, 'Wasn't that trumpet solo great... that's exactly what the real church should be!' The solo was 'real.' The 'hash' didn't bother them, so long as it was 'authentic.' Now, I am not suggesting we need to add more second-rate music. I'm a Boomer and I've had my share of it. The story however illustrates this growing desire out there for something more 'real' in worship. We might call it 'acoustic worship.'
MTV has swept the market with their 'unplugged' series. Why? Because it sounds so 'real.' Sure, there still is plenty of technical work in the background, but the acoustic sound itself is the real thing. This is the hunger I see among laymen I talk to and get Email from. They are hungry for a fresh revolution in worship. They want a more 'real' tone to worship. They thirst for the 'real presence' of God, not just hype.
New trends begin with a hunger or desire. I wonder if this hunger will lead to a new movement toward 'acoustic worship.' I already see the beginnings of this revolution. Will it continue? Will we have worship that feels less contrived, less performance oriented, less 'put on' for the audience. Will we see the end of the spectator church? Some are even predicting a resurgence of classical liturgy, pageantry, and creeds. Will we find a way to make worship feel more 'real' and less performed? Is there a fresh way to re-introduce testimonies, silence, and brokeness seeking elements. And perhaps the most disturbing question of all might be, 'Will today's production churches be able to adapt to this trend?' Or will they stay stuck in their 1980's format forever?
Have you seen this hunger for a change in worship styles?
So what do you think?

I just figured I would start a new thread about the Battle of the Nations. There has been much discussion about it on the "SCA Combat" thread, dragging that thread somewhat off-topic and bordering on necromancy. I figure here we can pose our questions, post videos, duscuss, argue, and debate all the Bullshido-woirthy topics relevant to the "world championships of "historical medieval battles" and "full-contact medieval armored combat."
I'm going to throw this grenade into the mix to start: is BotN fighting a martial art? I'm not so sure. In the melees, anyway, it is all about knocking the guy down while holding a weapon. The rules allow just about everything butdouble-leg takredowns and weapon thrusts, making it look more like a demolition derby than a swordfight.

Construction work has begun on the site of the new council headquarters in the heart of Peterhead.
Buchan House, due to be completed in 12 months, is being built on the derelict site at the south end of St Peter Street.
The facility will bring together Aberdeenshire Council staff who are currently spread across nine offices in the town and provide a point of contact for the public.
Aberdeenshire provost Jill Webster, who broke ground at the site last week, said: "This is a very auspicious day for the council and the town.
"It's going to transform a derelict site in Peterhead and I look forward to seeing it develop over the following months.
"It is also a very important milestone for council's regeneration plan for Peterhead."
Buchan House will have office space for up to 200 staff as well as a committee and marriage room, the area manager's office, registrar as well as public and staff toilets and parking.
The provost added: "This is one of the most significant developments in Peterhead for many years."
Renewable energy sources including solar panels and a biomass heat plant are being installed, significantly reducing the running costs of the facility.
The local authority estimates the new offices will save nearly £380,000 per year in running costs against the existing offices.
The Broad Street offices set to be vacated by the council will also be put up for sale.
Buchan Area Committee chairman Stuart Pratt said: "It's important the council invests in modern, energy efficient buildings, but it's also about the service we provide to local people and the impact we have on our towns.
The leader of the council Jim Gifford called the project 'an important element of the council's wider regeneration strategy.'
The site at St Peter Street has been used as a temporary car park. This has now closed.

"We've expanded our intensive offerings this year and worked with the intensive presenters to ensure that everyone who wants to attend has that opportunity," said Jeff Cram, conference organizer and Connective DX co-founder.
Portland, Ore. (PRWEB) June 21, 2016
Delight 2016, an experience design conference organized by Connective DX, recently opened registration for new full-day intensive workshops. The intensives, which are in addition to the two-day Delight conference, offer attendees the chance to do a deep dive into their field or specialty with other thought leaders and experienced professionals.
Attendees of the optional full-day intensives will spend the day with industry experts in a single focus area: healthcare, digital experience or design leadership:
Radical Collaboration in Healthcare
Led by Matt Templeton, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts
Join this one-day workshop to work on real problems, gaining deep understanding into people's needs by using Design Thinking out in the wild. Healthcare leaders will facilitate a health-specific design challenge using this human-centered process. By working collaboratively with others from different levels and backgrounds we will identify needs, ideate solutions and test them with users.You will gain an introduction to or a deeper understanding of the Design Thinking process and the challenge. Prior experience is not necessary but it is also welcome. This one-day workshop could lead to future connections and collaborations. This will be fun, fast and insightful. Let's learn by doing and make something new, together.
Digital Experience Masterclass
Led by the Connective DX team
Digital is rapidly erasing the space between your business and your empowered customers. Organizations that embrace the power of digital will seize new opportunities to grow and differentiate, connect with their customers in more meaningful long-lasting ways, and make an impact in their market space. This class will help activate and accelerate change by arming you with tools and frameworks for sustainable digital success.
Amplifying Creative Collaboration
Led by Denise Jacobs, The Creative Dose and Jessie Shternshus, The Improv Effect
Most companies focus on a team's technical skills, but true success depends on creative collaboration—multiplying each other's ideas to solve problems. This workshop provides an approach to help teams work like a well-calibrated machine and produce great work together. Participants will take a real-world problem and run through a series of ideation exercises to create and execute on an action plan. You'll learn how to encourage and leverage the aggregate genius of a team.
"Last year we offered an optional healthcare intensive for the first time and it sold out very quickly," said Jeff Cram, conference organizer and Connective DX co-founder. "As a result of that success we've expanded our intensive offerings this year and worked with the intensive presenters to ensure that everyone who wants to attend has that opportunity."
Early bird rates for Delight are in effect until July 31, so attendees can take advantage of up to $200 off registration with additional discounts available for groups of four or more from the same organization.

I have been having "dreams" in which I am conscious enough to think yet still asleep
if that makes any sense. In these dreams Massive amounts of information/data is scrolling like a teleprompter
off of which I am reading.
It is scrolling pretty fast so I am having to focus pretty intensly in order to keep up.
Now, here's where it gets tricky.
What is being "displayed" is stuff that is so far above my head that I don't even begin to understand it
in my waking life yet, somehow I do when I'm asleep.
Things like quantum mechanics and complex equations. complex philosphical ideas, and long diatribes
on physics that are so far over my head they may as well be in space.
Let me be clear!
I don't understand ANY of it nor can I remember ANY of it.
It is so foriegn to me that I couldn't remember a single sentence if I had to.
It may as well be Mandarin Chineese.

Sometimes I'll wake up and there's just this word or thought in my head. I thought it might be dream related, wake up thinking about the last thing you were thinking about in your dream or something, but this isn't always the case.
The other day I woke up with the word enameled in my head...and I kinda thought about it on my way to work, and how odd it is to have such an obscure word so prominent in your thoughts first thing in the morning after a sound sleep. I think that's probably the strangest one ever, I just find it kinda interesting and wanted to share it...you guys get this?
It seems to be more words as I get older than music, sometimes it's a phrase of some kind, not necessarily a common phrase, just a few words in a specific order that often don't fit together.
As an aside, I've also had the voices chattering on falling asleep, they often sound like whispers, but loud whispers...and once or twice a sudden raised and angry voice has screamed and woke me up, this only ever happened to me as I was falling asleep and I'm getting a chill down my spine even thinking about it, it's absolutely horrible.edit on 19-10-2012 by samerulesapply because: Spelling

chosen by the world's top injection molding manufacturers, medical molders, customer molders, and high-speed molders.
Mallard Z4 is 100% about quality:
Made in-house (including heat treating of all components) using the best quality steel, with each component ground and polished to a mirror-like finish.
Mallard Z4 is one-of-a-kind:
Don Zeiger designed and patented the 4-piece valve.
Mallard Z4 is only from Zeiger Industries:
It's the result of engineering, experience, and physics - not reverse engineering and guessing like the other guys!
Mallard Z4 zaps all the rest! Never again settle for 4th rate 4-piece wannabes or substitutions by 3-piece pretenders!
Sure, the Mallard Z4 4-piece screw-tip valve is
the best of the best
; and not everyone needs that premier degree of performance and longevity (which is why he introduced the affordable performance of the Z3 3-piece screw-tip valve for general injection molding applications). But many injection molders will be
a lot better off
by trying the Z4.
you ask?
If you are an OEM with warranties to protect and want to minimize exposure - then YOU!
If you are a processor manufacturing products for critical applications demanding product consistency - then YOU!
If you are a manufacturer of products for customers with a brand reputation to protect - then YOU!
If you want to lower life cycle costs, and lower downtime associated with premature failure or poor performance of the valve or valve assembly - then YOU!
If you or your customers want a more consistent, even, predictable quality of product - then YOU!
If you want fewer injection molding problems to deal with - then YOU!
You get what you pay for. But too often you get a lot of headaches from what you
pay for.
Don Zeiger's a common sense kind of a guy. He's learned that you just can't afford to rely on inferior, substandard injection molding valves,
so he designed a better one.
The Z4 is infinitely adjustable for specialty resins, applications, and process improvement at no cost to the customer.
better steel all the way around because the steel makes all the difference
hardened 17-4PH stainless steel that's landing gear strength for the Retainer
molybdenum-based steel hardened to 62RC for the Front Seat & Check Ring
D2 hardened to 60RC for the Rear Seat
better processing for improved performance:
the Retainer's 17% chrome and 4% nickel stainless steel is like that used on the landing gear of F-15 fighters
the Front Seat and Check Ring's molybdenum-based steel is tempered to withstand higher temperatures caused by friction (in excess of tempering, 1100º F) to retain a Rockwell Hardness of 60, the highest standard of the industry
the Rear Seat is the only one in the industry designed to handle either high or low viscosity, offering options customizable to handle different materials at different temperatures and pressures
special valve options for unique applications:
Spinner valve reduces friction for high-speed molding
Zprinlok valve has a spring for low viscosity materials and can fit any OEM screw
Tungsten-carbide faced valve offers the longest life ANYWHERE ("No one has ever worn out this valve," says Don, "which is why it's backed with a lifetime warranty.")
Add zip to your injection molding process and get in the zone with the BEST-IN-CLASS Z4 4-piece screw-tip valve from Zeiger Industries.
Call Andy Zeiger at 1-800-932-9120 x204 or email us for the ultimate Z4 screw-tip assembly performance!
Never Never No. 2
Is a free-flow valve really free flowing?
We don't think so. Free-flow valves actually make a mess with burnt material left behind after each shot. Leakage. Labor. Downtime. Don will NEVER sell a free-flow and will ALWAYS use a full-flow valve instead.
Never Never No. 1
nitriding is like putting lipstick on a pig!
Nitriding is a cheap trick using a cheap veneer. The coating falsely raises the Rockwell rating, so your valve can be damaged beyond repair in two weeks! Don will NEVER nitride, ALWAYS using the right steel hardened right instead.

I'm always looking for free apps that blend well with my passion for photography. I've been playing with NearPics, a free app from UK developers The Mac Box. The idea is simple. Start the app on your iPhone and photos that have been taken near your location appear in a slide show.
I tried NearPics in Southern Arizona and it worked quite well, bringing up a couple of dozen photos of nearby locations, including some parks, some pictures of a nearby mall, and some nice sunsets. That's as far as it goes, but it could be a lot better. The pictures are sourced from Panaramio.com, not from users of the NearPics app. It would be so much better if I could just use the iPhone camera and submit images directly. I noticed that on Wi-Fi, the app was pretty fast, but in several locations it was dog slow on 3G. I think some users might just give up. The app runs a slide show, but the user has no control of the interval that the images change. You get to choose start and stop. That's it. Support for Flickr and other image services would be welcome.
A tap on an icon takes you to Google Maps to see where the photo was taken, which is handy if you want to go there and take some photos on your own, but rather than build the Google Map into the app, you have to exit, making for a somewhat jarring experience.
NearPics is a good idea, but it could be so much more useful. Sure it is free, and I appreciate the effort, but with just a little more in terms of features and NearPics would be an app that lots of photographers would use. Then again, unlike Color, there is some utility to the app. You can see some example photos in the gallery below.

I have looked everywhere in the forum for this, but in vain.
I am trying to insert a nextpage tag into the html view of my post. Every time that I do it, I go back to the edit view and see an extra line in the text.
Returning to the HTML view, I find that the tag has disappeared.
I have used <!-nextpage-> as given in the pagination guide, and also <!nextpage> as someone mentioned elsewhere in the forum, but neither work.
Any idea why this happens and how to remedy the situation? I have wasted enough time on the problem and would just like to go back to concentrating on the content of the post.

Annual Patriot Pack Out an Easy Way to Help Local Charities
Posted: May 7, 2008 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
By Dave Andrews
At the close of another semester, students aren't just busy writing papers and taking finals. Those who live on campus are packing up and moving out. To alleviate some of the hassle, organizers of the second annual Patriot Pack Out suggest a solution: "Don't Dump It, Donate It."
The Patriot Pack Out is a recycling and community outreach initiative at Mason that asks everyone in the Mason community — particularly students moving out of the residence halls — to donate clothing, electronics, working appliances and non-perishable food. The event runs from May 9 to 16.
"This is an easy way for everyone to donate to our local community, and it also makes the moving-out process a lot easier on the students," says Traci Claar, director of community relations. "Last year's event was a huge success — we collected literally thousands of pounds of donations. We plan to make this an annual Mason tradition."
The event will feature a kick-off celebration breakfast on Friday, May 9, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Chesapeake River Way in the northeast sector near Shenandoah and Blue Ridge residence halls. Student groups will be competing against each another to see which group can bring the most donations. Coffee, juice, donuts, muffins and "Mason bagels" (tinted green) will be handed out.
The items will be donated to two local nonprofit organizations: Food for Others and the Clock Tower Thrift Shop of Northern Virginia Family Service.
Throughout the following week, students are asked to drop off their donated items at any one of the following collection locations around campus:
York River Corner: in the main lobbies of Liberty Square and Potomac Heights
Presidents Park: in Eisenhower Hall, Room 101
Dominion Hall, University Commons and Commonwealth Hall: in the main lobby of Hanover Hall and Chesapeake Main Desk
Townhouses, Student Apartments and Patriots Village: in student apartment number 5, PV Laundry Room and select townhouses
And this year, Patriot Pack Out is not just for students. On Tuesday, May 13, faculty, staff and members of the community are encouraged to drop off donations as well. From 7:30 to 9:30 a.m., vehicles can pull up to the storage trailer located on Presidents Park Drive. Volunteers will be waiting to unload vehicles. Receipts for tax deduction purposes will be given upon request.
Organizers are looking for volunteers to join the recycling staff in picking up donated items at the various residence hall locations and transporting them to a storage trailer. Mason employees may use their Volunteer Service leave for this purpose.
Each day there will be two shifts, each lasting no longer than two hours. Volunteers may register on the Patriot Pack Out web site.
For more information, contact Sarah Gallagher at 703-993-8761.

Puma brand ambassador Meek Mill and Atlanta native T.I. were both on hand to celebrate the recent opening of the first Puma Lab concept inside the Foot Locker at the South Dekalb Gallery Mall.
Recognizing Atlanta as an under appreciated footwear hotbed and trendsetting city, Puma wanted to expose its consumers to a curated, more exclusive, yet broader selection of goods some of which its customers may not have had access to in the past. The shop is broken up into four sections - Sport, Design, Creativity, and Luxury - each containing products representative of each element.
The Sport category, the largest of the sections, is a mixture of general releases and limited edition items and currently features the recently released "Opulence Pack." The Design and Creativity areas contained products from its MMQ collection with the "Cork Pack" being the go to collection here. The Luxury group contained the Alexander McQueen and Miharayasuhiro collaborations with the latter having an apparel component as well.
Puma Labs will be featured on walls of 125 Footlockers across the country, but sorry Puma fans, the concept shops are currently only in Atlanta with the second location at the Greenbriar Mall. Click through for a first look inside the store and a recap of the grand opening event.

While it might sound somewhat cheesy, I had just as much fun watching seniors dance to hip-hop music than I did watching Iron Man over the weekend. Seriously. Of course, they're two completely different films -- one is a mega Hollywood blockbuster with loads of special effects, while the other is a sweet documentary about older folks who refuse to let age keep them down. And yet, both have a lot in common; mainly, that each film doesn't pretend it's something it's not. Gotta Dance is not out to mock these folks for wanting to add a little hip-hop to their lives; this documentary exists to celebrate that fact and invite us along for their wild ride.
Essentially, the New Jersey Nets basketball team came up with a PR stunt that includes forming a hip-hop dance crew made up entirely of senior citizens (or folks over the age of 60). From day one of auditions, cameras are allowed backstage to document this entire process -- which includes choosing the team, learning the different routines (with help from the current crop of Nets dancers) and performing them in front of live audiences during halftime at six Nets games. The cynical side of me kinda feels this whole documentary was dreamt up by the Nets organization in an attempt to get them some more good press. Regardless of those original intentions, Gotta Dance is still a fun film for the entire family.

More breaking news this afternoon from Prospect Park and The OnLine Network. The labor dispute that recently came to light by The Wrap earlier this week, has caused some issues with production now for both All My Children and One Life to Live! And because of this, the scheduled hiatus for both shows is now beginning effective tomorrow on June 6th, instead of June 17th. What this means for the future status of production remains to be seen, but according to an official statement just released by TOLN, they hope thing can be hammered out so by August they begin shooting all-new episodes on time!
TOLN Official Statement: "As a result of a dispute with the I.A.T.S.E., The OnLine Network is beginning a long-planned hiatus for both All My Children and One Life To Live tomorrow instead of June 17. The hiatus is scheduled to end on August 12 pending resolution of this labor issue. Right now we have 40 episodes of each show ready to post through September, and if we can resolve this issue by August, we can get back into the studio on time so audiences will enjoy uninterrupted postings of their favorite shows.
We believe we have met all contract requirements with I.A.T.S.E, and as an internet start-up, and per our contract with the I.A., we cannot afford, and our business model cannot sustain, traditional broadcast rates.
The writers, directors, actors and rest of crew have been supportive of the shows and our success. Both One Life To Live and All My Children consistently earn top rankings on both Hulu and iTunes since launch just over a month ago. The popularity of the shows is matched by the continued passion and excitement from the fans. We are committed to these shows, and to the nearly 300 jobs they produce, thus we are exploring every legal and logistical option to maintain our production schedule."
So AMC and OLTL fans, what do you think of the latest news? Hoping all will work out come August? Share your thoughts!

The Kenai boys soccer team tied defending state champion Colony Saturday 1-1 in a game played at Colony High School.
The Knights had a 1-0 lead until about 11 minutes remaining, when Adrian Borchgrevink scored the equalizer. Greg Landua started the play with a throw-in to Marcus Webster. Webster played the ball to the far post, where Borchgrevink put it in with one touch.
Although it was very sunny at Colony, it also was very windy. The Kardinals had the wind in their faces in the first half but still managed to get a penalty kick, although they missed it.
The Knights did score one goal with the wind at their backs, but in general goalie Eric Nyce did an excellent job of thwarting scoring opportunities. The Kardinals also received solid play from the defense, particularly Corey Janson, and from midfielder Landua.
Making the tie even more impressive is that Kenai had only practiced on grass twice before the game.
The Kardinals warmed up for the Colony game Friday with a 6-0 stomping of Houston at Colony High. That was Kenai's first game of the year.
Nyce and Ross Baldwin combined for a shutout in the game, while Borchgrevink had two goals, Landua had a goal and an assist, Nick Barnes had two assists and Ben Haring had a goal and an assist.
Also scoring goals for Kenai were Owen Brewer and Jose Arroyo. Others collecting assists for the Kardinals were Wally Ward and Richard Alexander.
Skyview girls 4, Grace 0
The Panthers opened up their season with a shutout of Grace Christian in a Region III match at the Anchorage Football Stadium.
Skyview took a 2-0 lead at the half on goals from Christina Colvin in the 27th minute and Katie Verba, assisted by Jamie Beever, in the 30th minute.
Marina Holt scored a pair of second-half goals for the Panthers. Holt notched an unassisted tally in the 73 minute, then finished off a cross from Amy Lambe five minutes later.
"The first two goals were from outside the (18-yard) box. They were both nice shots," said Skyview coach Tony Lewis. "The assist from Amy was real nice. She took the ball from behind midfield up the right sideline, beat a couple players, drew the defense to her and made a nice cross."
Lewis said he hadn't noticed Lambe's speed on the outside during the team's training sessions in the gym, but it quickly became evident on a full-sized pitch.
Lewis credited Melissa Bixby with a strong game at center midfield and said stopper Jenny Carpenter was able to shut down just about every Grizzly foray across the midfield strip. Skyview keeper Ailis Vann recorded one save for the shutout.
"I was really pleased," Lewis said. "It was out first time on a big field. We used the whole field and stayed wide, which is difficult to do when you haven't been outside."
Homer boys 2, Nikiski 0
Palmer boys 3, Nikiski 0
David Bayes and Rudy Multz scored for the Mariners as Homer opened its season with a Region III win over visiting Nikiski.
The Bulldogs (0-2-0) were coming off a season-opening loss to Palmer Friday in Anchorage.
Bayes nodded home a header in the 33rd minute of the match Saturday, assisted by Mert Anameric. Multz scored eight minutes into the second half, assisted by Russ Kuipers.
Homer keeper Aaron Smith earned the shutout.
Nikiski coach Jim Coburn said the Bulldogs' keeper, Josh Winters, also played a stellar game, making a school-record 22 saves.
Coburn said he has been impressed with Chris McCaughey and his efforts on the left side of the defense, shutting down his man in both games. Right defender Kyle Alexander also had a strong match against Homer.
Kenai girls 2, Houston 1
Colony girls 5, Kenai 2
The Kardinals started out their season Friday with a 2-1 victory over the Hawks.
Houston netted the first goal of the game 20 minutes into the first half.
"We had eight new kids playing positions they haven't played before," said Kenai coach Dan Verkuilen. "We got off the bus with Houston and there was a half hour until game time.
"We came out pretty flat, but I think that first goal woke them up."
About 15 minutes after falling behind, Kenai's Kirsten Ehrhardt tied the game when she scored on a corner kick. In the second half, Jessi Reilly scored the game-winner when she volleyed in a cross from Rachel Knowles.
The Kardinals also got off to a slow start against the Knights, allowing three goals in the first 23 minutes of the 5-2 loss.
"That Colony game was sweet," Verkuilen said. "We were with them shot for shot, they're just still a little more slick at finishing the ball."
In the game, Kenai's goals came from Karli Knudsen, on an assist from Jamie Montgomery, and Reilly, on an assist from Erin Smith.
Skyview boys 5, Grace 4
The Panthers opened up their season with a win over Grace on the Anchorage Football Stadium turf.
Ty Edward netted a hat trick in the first half for the Panthers, including two goals in the first five minutes. Leon Galbraith tallied twice for the Panthers, including a goal, assisted by Brendan Martin, just 1:11 into the match.
Edward scored his first goal, and unassisted strike, at 4:40 of the first half, and followed that with a score off a direct kick just a minute later.
Edward completed the hat trick with six minutes to play in the first half, and set up Galbraith's second goal at 6:24 of the second half.
Grace netted a goal in the first half and three in the second half.
"Those first three goals came so fast, it looked like it was going to be a cakewalk," Skyview coach Dave Carpenter said. "We started shuffling kids through, and we didn't get our rhythm back in the second half."
Carpenter said Travis Endsley played a strong match at stopper while Mitchell Burdick had a solid effort in goal.
Homer girls 4, Nikiski 1
Palmer girls 3, Nikiski 0
The Homer Mariners started their season off with a Region III victory at home over the Nikiski Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs dropped their first match of the season Friday to the Palmer Moose in Anchorage.
Nikiski (0-2-0) and Homer (1-0-0) were tied at one at the half, but the Mariners scored three times in the second half to secure the win.
Homer's Fianna Condon picked up her second goal of the game on a penalty kick 12 minutes into the second half. Syverine Abrahamson followed that with a goal in the 26th minute and Alex Drathman converted her penalty kick for the Mariners with three minutes left in the match.
Laura-Beth Covich tallied for the Bulldogs, notching an unassisted goal 35 minutes into the first half.
Nikiski coach Richard Kelso was impressed with the play of his defense, including Karen Rabung in goal and Rainey Reilly, Kayle Meyer and Aurora Zinck across the back.
"I thought we played fairly well," Kelso said. "Our midfield worked hard."
The Bulldogs were coming off a 3-0 loss to Palmer on the Anchorage Football Stadium turf Friday.
"It was a bit strange for us, but we worked hard as we normally do," Kelso said.
Kelso credited Reilly, Covich, Annie Duttle, April Lofstedt and Amanda Weaver with a strong effort against the Moose.

See Julia Stiles and James Wirt in Phoenix at Cherry Lane Theatre
Bethany Rickwald • New York City • Aug 5, 2014
The first production photos of Julia Stiles and James Wirt in Phoenix at Cherry Lane Theatre have been released. The play, written by Scott Organ, is running from July 28-August 23. Jennifer DeLia directs.
Phoenix, which premiered at the 34th Humana Festival of New American Plays at Actors Theatre of Louisville, follows Bruce (James Wirt) and Sue (Julia Stiles), who meet again four weeks after an uncharacteristic one-night stand. The two are forced to consider a new world of possibility as Bruce is fueled by a compulsion to join Sue in Phoenix, while she is reluctantly charmed by his persistence.

General Hospital is celebrating it's 50th anniversary this year, a long history that includes storylines with plenty of love, lust and law-breaking! But that's not all, the ABC soap opera has featured a number of Latinos in important roles, including Ricky Martin and Lilly Melger, daytime's first leading Latino couple. To commemorate GH's rich history, we're taking a trip down memory lane at our 23 favorite Latinos in the fictional town of Port Charles, including a couple of high-profile guest stars.
1. gh slide 01
Maurice Benard, 1993–97, 1998–Present
It's hard to imagine modern-day General Hospital without Maurice Benard. The 50-year-old Salvadorian- and Nicaraguan-American actor has portrayed beloved mobster Michael "Sonny" Corinthos, Jr. on the daytime sudser since 1993. Despite portraying a gangster, Benard – winner of the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series in 2003 – has managed to win the hearts of America with his multi-layered performance as a bipolar disorder-afflicted rebel with a heart. "In my mind, I always said, 'I'll make this guy bipolar.' He started out being a bad guy, a really bad guy. And I thought to myself 'How can I make this guy come off in a way where it's justified, in his head, what he's doing?' I had always thought about the history of the character, what happened to him as a child," Benard told BP Magazine in an interview. "When I let it be known I was bipolar, we wrote it into the character."
2. gh slide 02
Teresa Castillo, 2012–Present
Sure, Teresa Castillo has appeared on shows like How I Met Your Mother, iCarly, 90210 and The Secret Life of the American Teenager. But the Latina actress really "arrived" in Hollywood when she landed the role of stunning student nurse Sabrina Santiago on General Hospital. Most recently, she's been spotted canoodling with widowed Dr. Patrick Drake (Jason Thompson). Hot couple alert!
3. gh slide 03
Vanessa Marcil, 1992–98, 2002–03, 2010–11, 2013–Present
Brenda's back… And, General Hospital fans couldn't be happier! Maybe that's because the character of Brenda Barrett, portrayed by Vanessa Marcil, was once part of what the media proclaimed "the hottest love triangle in soap opera history" in the mid-1990s, with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Jasper Jacks (Ingo Rademacher). The 44-year-old Mexican American actress, who won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in 2003, has managed to return to the show three times, including returning from the dead in typical soap opera fashion in 2002.
4. gh slide 04
Daniel Benzali, 2010–2011
Daniel Benzali first appeared in Port Charles in December 2010 as patient Theo Hoffman at General Hospital in December 2010. But the much-acclaimed Brazilian-American actor's character wasn't really ill; he just wanted to exact revenge on Brenda Barrett (Vanessa Marcil) for the death of his son Aleksander Janáček at the hands of her bodyguard. But like any good soap, Theo met his maker before he could complete his mission.
5. gh slide 05
Florencia Lozano, 2012
Florencia Lozano originated the role of Téa Delgado on One Life to Live. But after the soap opera's cancellation by ABC, Lozano brought her popular character to General Hospital in May 2012, earning a new legion of fans after bringing some serious pregnancy-related drama to Port Charles.
6. gh slide 06
Adrianne León, 2004–06, 2010–11
She may have started off penning music for General Hospital, but it wasn't long before Adrianne León landed a role singing songs on the hit daytime drama. The 26-year-old Puerto Rican actress, singer and songwriter landed the role of punk rock teen Brook Lynn Ashton on GH in 2004. A year later, she earned an Outstanding Female Newcomer Award nomination from Soap Opera Digest, as well as a Daytime Emmy nod for Outstanding Younger Actress.
7. gh slide 07
Ricky Martin, 1994–96
Call it a case of art imitating life… In 1994, Ricky Martin joined the cast of General Hospital, portraying Puerto Rican singer Miguel Morez, a tall, dark, handsome and talented protégé at L&B Records. If that wasn't enough, Martin was one-half of daytime television's first Latin leading couple alongside Lilly Melgar.
8. gh slide 08
Lilly Melgar, 1994–96, 2001, 2003
Talk about a real soaptastic tragedy… Lilly Melgar portrayed Lily Rivera Corinthos, the estranged daughter of Puerto Rican crime boss Hernando Rivera (Ismael 'East' Carlo). After a failed attempt to rekindle her adolescent romance with Miguel Morez (Ricky Martin), Melgar's character ended up marrying Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), only to end up accidentally blown to bits by her own father in a bomb-rigged car intended for her husband! But that wasn't the last we'd see of Melgar on GH. She returned in 2003 for a short stint, portraying Marcella Montoya, a former prostitute and look-alike of her original character.
9. gh slide 09
A Martinez, 1999–2002
He may not have originated the role of mobster and FBI informant Roy DiLucca on General Hospital, but A Martinez did manage to bring a little extra spice to the role, especially while romancing Bobbie Spencer. From 2000-2002, the 64-year-old Spanish & Mexican American actor – who also starred on Santa Barbara – won three consecutive ALMA Awards for his performance on GH
10. gh slide 10
Christian Monzon, 2012
He may not have lasted long on General Hospital, but Christian Monzon did manage to leave quite the impression in Port Charles, just not the kind his character probably wanted to leave. The 35-year-old Mexican and Spanish actor and model's character Eddie Cabrera, who was married to police detective Delores Padilla, was framed for beating up local strippers.
11. gh slide 11
Marisa Ramirez, 2000–02
Marisa Ramirez originated the role of Gia Campbell, a former-law-student-turned-internationally-acclaimed-model who would go on to become "The Face of Deception" on GH. The ALMA Award- and NAACP Image Award-nominated actress would leave Port Charles in 2002 to appear in a short-lived drama on ABC.

Michael Saucedo, 1999–2001
Michael Saucedo's character on General Hospital could be called a "Latin love child." The 36-year-old Mexican-American actor's character, Juan Santiago, was the biological sonce of Lily Rivera Corinthos (Lilly Melgar) and Miguel Morez (Ricky Martin). Juan, the cousin of Sabrina Santiago (Teresa Castillo), set off for South America in 2001, but not before romancing rich girl Emily Quartermaine.

Ignacio Serricchio, 2004-06, 2008,
Go, Diego, Go! Ignacio Serricchio portrayed the oh-so-troubled Diego Alcazar on General Hospital from 2004-2006. The Argentine actor would return in February 2008, only to be offed less than a month later.
14. gh slide 14
Erik Valdez, 2012-13
Death becomes Erik Valdez. The Latino actor portrayed troublemaker Trey Mitchell on General Hospital. Valdez's character manipulated reality TV star Kristina Davis into marrying him as a way to get to her dad, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). But Valdez's life would come to a dramatic end… Left brain-dead after a car accident, Valdez's character died after being taken off life support. Despite his short stint on GH, Valdez managed to make a big impression, earning an NAACP Image Award nomination this year for Outstanding Actor in a Daytime Drama Series.

Rebeka Montoya, 2011-2012
During her brief stint on General Hospital, Rebeka Montoya portrayed Port Charles P.D. detective Delores Padilla. Her character, who was married to Eddie Cabrera, tried to gather evidence against Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and failed.
16. gh slide 16
Eddie Matos, 2006-2007
Eddie Matos may have originated the role of Ricky Garza on ABC's GH spinoff Port Charles, but he'd end up in a different role later. Three years after the sudser's cancellation in 2003, the 40-year-old Puerto Rican actor was cast on General Hospital as Pete Marquez, a professor at Port Charles University and good friend to Dr. Patrick Drake.
17. gh slide 17
Julio Iglesias, 1994
During the height of his English-language crossover, Julio Iglesias made a cameo appearance in two episodes of General Hospital in 1994. The Spanish legend not only shared screen time with Lois Cerullo (Rena Sofer) and Miguel Morez (Ricky Martin), but he even treated GH fans with a performance of Patsy Cline's classic tune "Crazy."
18. gh slide 18
Sammy Davis, Jr., 1983
The late Sammy Davis, Jr., the son of a Cuban tap dancer mother, was such a huge General Hospital fan that he reportedly asked the show's producers to cas him as Eddie Phillips, the alcoholic father of Bryan Phillips on the series.
19. gh slide 19
Ismael 'East' Carlo, 1994–96, 1997
Oh father! Ismael 'East' Carlo is part of General Hospital's most explosive storylines. The 71-year-old Puerto Rican actor portrayed crime lord Hernando Rivera, the father of Lily Rivera Corinthos (Lilly Melgar). In his attempt to kill his daughter's mobster husband Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) with a car bomb, Carlo's characters ended up inadvertently killing his pregnant daughter. When Sonny shows up in Puerto Rico, Hernando suffers a heart attack after learning he'd murdered Lily instead. Later, he commits suicide with a gun given to him by Sonny.
20. gh slide 20
Adrian Alvarado, 2005-08
Adrian Alvarado is apparently a good sidekick! He portrayed detective Cruz Rodriguez from 2005-2008. Alvarado's character served as Lucky Spencer's partner at the Port Charles Department.
21. gh slide 21
Gonzalo Menendez, 2005
Gonzalo Menendez portrayed the ill-fated Javier Ruiz on General Hospital in 2005. The 41-year-old Miami-born actor's character, the son of Hector Ruiz and brother of Manny, met his maker after being gunned down at the Metro Court Hotel by Jason Morgan.
22. gh slide 22
Reni Santoni, 2005
There's apparently no loyalty in Reni Santoni's character's family on General Hospital. The 73 Spanish-American actor portrayed Miami mob boss Hector Ruiz, a man murdered by his own son Manny for refusing to exact revenge on Jason Morgan for the shooting death of his son Javier.
23. gh slide 23
John Vargas, 1990
Back in 1990, John Vargas portrayed the dastardly Rico Chacone, the man who didn't take "no" very well. The 53-year-old Latino actor's character not only raped Carla Greco when she refused his marriage proposal, but he also took several people in Port Charles hostage. But he's end up being killed by the same woman he raped. Karma, it gets you every time!

'Friends of Fort Fisher' unveil the newest addition to Fort Fisher State Historic Site
KURE BEACH, NC (WWAY) — The 'Friends of Fort Fisher' organization unveiled their newest onsite exhibit at the Fort Fisher State Historic Site.
The exhibit features a replica of the most powerful weapon used by confederates when they defended the fort during the Civil War.
Rod Gragg, a Civil War writer says the Armstrong Rifled cannon is the great secret weapon of its day.
"It's extremely important historically, but also because it really is a sight that showcases American courage and sacrifice," he says.
The original cannon was a gift given to the fort from the Queen of England during the American Civil War.
Gragg says receiving this cannon is a milestone for the organization, and they can't wait to show it off.

CIVIC and business leaders have thrown their backing behind the Observer's Shop Local Eat Local Play Local campaign.
The bid to boost the coffers of our high street traders has been met with support from across 1066 Country.
Brett McLean, chairman of the 1066 Federation of Small Businesses, said: "I'm delighted to endorse and support the Observer's shop local and eat local campaigns.
"I have for the past five years been promoting the FSB's Keep Trade Local campaign which educates consumers to buy local and retailers to do the same by keeping the supply chain short. The message is simple "use it or lose it! " I'm delighted to see the Observer newspaper taking an active role in such a vital campaign.
"Businesses within the hospitality and tourism industry are delighted to have your support.
"It's important to get the message out there to Observer readers to remind them that they don't necessarily need to buy online but are able to visit the local shopping areas where there is a huge variety of choice, specialist customer care with detail to attention. And there is often a try before you buy policy thus helping to create the customer experience and supporting trade locally which in turn helps the local economy to flourish.
"Tradespeople are encouraged to again, where possible, buy locally and support local timber merchants and suppliers of building materials in stead of buying from multi-million nationwide chains. Supporting local outlets and shops increases employment opportunities and apprenticeship placements resulting in a win-win situation."
Gerald Matthews, owner of GM Matthews Butchers in Turkey Road, Bexhill saw a slight up turn in trade following last week's launch.
He said: "A lot of people have mentioned the campaign last weekend. Someone came over from Hastings to buy some meat in my shop and trade was very good last Friday and Saturday. This kind of campaign is important for traders like me. If I want an electrician or plumber I go and find a local one. It's important for people to support their tradesman and traders. They're the beating heart of the community."

Martina | juin 28, 2013 | Europe Eurasia: Italy Volunteering at the Special Olympics Italy 2013 National Games was one of the most moving experience of my life if not the best ever! I was in charge of entertainment and from the start I committed to give all of myself to the role – to make athletes laugh, dance and have an unforgettable time. But little did I know that it would be MY heart that would be filled with joy and lightness, that I will never forget this experience and that the special athletes I met will always have a place in my heart. It was so interesting to get to know people with intellectual disabilities and not just observe them from afar. I was impressed by their kindness, honesty, and contagious joy of life. I definitely plan to stay in touch and to get involved in new events in the future. I sincerely thank all those have made this experience so special – the organisers, the other volunteers and of course the athletes themselves. Grazi e un grande bacio!

exist(redirected from existed)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Legal, Encyclopedia.
Related to existed: inexistence
exist on borrowed time
To live or exist in a temporary and/or tenuous position, which may come to an end suddenly and abruptly. The small aboriginal population has been existing on borrowed time since the invaders began colonizing their land. Accidents and disease can strike so unexpectedly that it feels like we're all existing on borrowed time.
If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him.
Prov. People need a deity to worship. (This is an English translation of a quote from Voltaire. It is often parodied, using a person's name instead of God and implying that the person is somehow necessary.) The atheist tried to convince Jerry that God does not exist, and that people should not waste their time worshiping Him. "But you can't stop people from worshiping God," Jerry replied. "If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him." The unscrupulous mayor was such a convenient scapegoat for the city's problems that if she had not existed, it would have been necessary to invent her.

Just working on an internal dashboard for both practice and to get some ideas out and rolling. the left part is the entire sidebar and part of the header and the right is just the time and weather info for each client/project.
When you click on one of the weather sections, it will switch from Celsius to Fahrenheit or vice versa.
I was also thinking that I should add another line to the weather cities and display the time for them too, instead of having multiple sections for time and cities. While keeping your main time at the top.
The concept is that you can add a client's/teammate's main city and/or time zone and then you can reference what time it is and then have something to start the conversation and not directly ask "What's the weather like out there?" and instead say "so I hear it's a bit chilly outside." It's a bad example really, but you get the point. You seem more informed than you actually should be and you've done your research about their lives, etc. "The Little Things."
Let me know what you think!
I have added a Fullview of the left side.
Sorry for the essay :P
Added a tweaked version with some of the changes I mentioned above.

Would you date a guy that's not funny? Why or why not?
Most Helpful Girl
A guy with a sense of humor is high up on the list of priorities for me. Having a sense of humor doesn't mean you have to be funny. You just need to not be serious all of the time. plus, know how to have a laugh and find the funny side of things. You can still find things funny and have a laugh without being funny yourself00|00|0

The front tie rod end has three parts, the outer tie rod end, inner tie rod end and tie rod boot. The inner and outer tie rod ends have ball joint sockets on each connecting end. These sockets wear over time creating free-play in the steering, which can lead to tire wear and an undesirable steering feel. You can replace the inner and outer separately. Just be sure to have your vehicle aligned once complete. To inspect, jack up the front of your vehicle, wiggle the wheel in both directions of the steering axis. Take note of any free-play. If free-play is felt, repeat the wiggle test while holding the outer tie rod, if no free-play is felt in outer tie rod end, squeeze boot and locate socket of inner tie rod and repeat wiggle test. The outer tie rod ball joint boot is subject to ripping and should be inspected at least once a year. The nice thing is you can replace just the outer ball joint without having to remove the whole tie rod.
Raise and support the front of the vehicle on jack stands and remove the engine tray. See our tech articles on these procedures for additional information.
Remove the front wheel from the side of the vehicle you are replacing the tie rod on.
There are two tie rods on the front of the vehicle that connect the steering rack (red arrows) to the spindles (yellow arrows).
You will need to remove the tie rod end (yellow arrow) whether you are just changing the end or the whole tie rod. If you are replacing the entire tie rod you will need to disconnect it from the steering rack (red arrow).
Inspect the condition of the tie rod outer ball joint. This one is shot, as the rubber is ripped, and the joint is contaminated with dirt and debris (red arrow).
Begin removal by using a set of pliers to straighten out the cotter pin and pull it from the top of the ball joint shaft (red arrow).
Use a 19mm socket and remove the nut (red arrow).
Depending on the age and condition of the tie rod end, you may need to use a pickle fork or ball joint remover (red arrow) to separate the ball joint from the spindle. If you are planning on reinstalling the same ball joint, use a ball joint remover, as the pickle fork usually destroys the rubber boot.
Measure and mark the installation position of the outer tie rod end (red arrow) or count the turns when removing. This helps with getting the alignment as close as possible when replacing it. Use two adjustable wrenches. Holding the tie rod in the space in the arm that is provided (yellow arrow) with one wrench, use the other to loosen and remove the ball joint (green arrow).
If you are replacing the inner ball joint, pull the boot (red arrow) off the steering rack (yellow arrow) with your hands.
Use a large adjustable wrench and unscrew the ball joint end (red arrow) from the steering rack. There should be very little force needed to loosen the joint. There is a taper in the nut. Holding the tie rod on, gently tap this back so you can loosen it. If you are worried about applying too much force or yours seems stuck, you can wrap the steering shaft in a rag and hold it with vise grips while loosening the joint. Just make sure not to marr the steering shaft joint.
Here you can see the groove that the tie rod nut sits in (red arrow).
If you are replacing the complete tie rod, lay the old one on your bench and measure it, and set the replacement new one to the same length. You will still need to get the vehicle aligned, but this will get you close enough that you can drive to the alignment shop without doing damage. Transfer over the dust boot if your new tie rod did not come with one. Installation is the reverse of removal.

When Sandra and Andreas Vavelidis

attracted to one another by a great passion:
for skydiving and particularly for one
another. The sociologist and the qualified
heating and plumbing technician quickly
realised that they wanted to turn their hobby
into their profession and establish their
own skydiving site. And not just anywhere,
but on the island of Rhodes. The Greek
roots of Andreas Vavelidis certainly played
a role. Nevertheless, the couple recall that
"it was quite naive to simply pack their
bags and head off to Greece." The ideal
location was quickly found, but then began
the long wait for approval to convert
the former military airfield into a skydiving
site for enthusiastic tourists. Sandra

authority to the next. This not only took a

Developing countries should unite to make their voices heard in the UN: PresidentApril 13th, 2008 - 10:30 am ICT by admin
On Board (Air India One), Apr.13 (ANI) Developing countries should unite and strengthen their strategic, economic and cultural ties to make their voices heard better at the United Nations, President Pratibha DeviSingh Patil said en route her maiden foreign visit to Latin America.
Patil, the first Indian woman president to go abroad, also that there were a lot of similarities of views on issues and problems faced by India and the countries that she is visiting.
During her nearly fortnight-long visits to Brazil , Mexico and Chile , several bilateral Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) are to be inked.
She said countries like Brazil, India and South Africa should make their voices heard louder in the international arena, and their long-term objective should be to firm up cooperation on global issues like U.N. reforms, global climate change and expediting trade links between India and Latin American countries.
