The cost of heating your home seems to go up every year. There isn't much you can do about changing the outside temperatures, but there are some things you can do in and around your house to lower those bills. Many of them have an upfront cost, but you will recoup your investment in the long run.
Insulate your floors, ceilings, attic, walls, around windows and around doors. Insulation acts as a barrier to keep warm air inside of your house and cold air outside. Choose insulation with a high "R" value. The "R" value is the measure of how well the insulation insulates. Use foam insulation to insulate around electrical switches and outlets. Make sure you torn the power off before working around electrical outlets and switches.
Cover you windows with plastic to stop window drafts. If you can afford to replace old windows, install double or triple paned windows. New windows are the best option, but also the most expensive.
Replace worn or missing weather stripping on the bottoms of doors leading outside. New and replacement weather stripping is available at home improvement stores and hardware stores. You can also use draft blockers which are material filled with insulation that do a very good job at blocking cold drafts.
Patch all cracks and holes outside of your home. Use caulk to seal the area around your window frames and door frames.
Change or clean the filter on your furnace at least once a month. Vacuum and clean all heating vents to keep them free of dust, dirt and debris. this will keep the air flowing through without putting extra strain on your furnace.
Hang heavy curtains or drapes on your windows to act as an added layer of insulation. Open your curtains or drapes during the day to let the heat of the sun warm your house. Close all of your curtains and drapes once the sun sets in the evening and the outside temperature begins to drop.
Keep all radiators, vents and hot water baseboards free and clean of all furniture and clutter. placing objects in front of a heat source will cause the object to absorb the heat rather than for the heat to radiate throughout the room.
Lower the temperature in your house. Wear a sweater or watch TV under a blanket, you body will acclimate to the temperature change fairly quickly. Lower the thermostat in your house to 55° while you are not at home or while you are sleeping. A thermostat with a timer can be set to raise the temperature just before waking in the morning and just before you return home in the evening.
Use your fireplace to add heat to your house. Keep the flue closed when the fireplace is not in use. A good amount of warm air can be lost through an open flue.
Do not use your stove, oven or heaters specifically for outdoor use to heat your home. These all pose the danger of fire and carbon monoxide poisoning.

Phone Sex - an interesting addition - Before May Mattered
Sunday early July 1997
Well it's been just over a week since I've written my diary. Though I did write to Vic telling him about the blow job incident and asking what he thinks. It was rather a long letter really. I received a reply from him yesterday which was a damn sight shorter than my effort. He just said that Al seems strange and I should be careful, signing off by saying he loved me. Bless him. Why can't I just settle for him? Why is Al on my mind so much? At work I excused myself to Christine's office and told her in detail what happened with Al. She was less judgmental than Vic. Her opinion is that there may be a history of some sort of abuse or things I know little about. I must talk to Hannah about this, as after all Al is her boyfriends mate.
On Tuesday evening I popped over to see Virginia for a catch up. She had one of her medical workmates with her so I couldn't really go into detail about my date with Al. The man himself finally rang me on Thursday at work asking if I would be at home that evening if he were to ring me back. Which he did and my - what a conversation that was.
He started saying he wouldn't be able to see me at the weekend as he was working. Rather than be unhappy about this I immediately felt a little buoyant. If he was telling me he couldn't go out at the weekend he must think that we are "dating" – otherwise surly he would not bother explaining what he would be doing? He did move swiftly on asking me if I had masturbated when he drove off the other eve, after giving him the blowjob. I was a little indignant in my reply which was a curt,
He wasn't going to be put off at all. He continued by proceeded to enquire what I was wearing. I had my blue and white slip dress on and told him. It was at that point that it became clear to me what was going on – PHONE SEX!
|Phone Sex!
I was and still am a little bemused as I have zero experience where this type of thing is concerned. Or should I say I had Zero experience. I quickly realised that if I wanted to keep this man interested I would need to adapt and fast.
I was prepared for his next question asking what knickers I had on. I was wearing a plain cotton black pair but got into my role and told him they were skimpy, lacy and black. He liked that! He asked me about my bra and once again I lied.
"I don't have one on".
"Put your hand up under your dress and touch your boobs."
Well the following bit was crazy as I found myself doing what he asked. He told me he had his cock out and the next thing I was fingering myself asking him how his cock felt. I was surprising myself as I was really getting into the whole phone sex scene and enjoying it.
We started talking about anal. He wants to have it with me! Yes I heard alarm bells – but they rang in the distance as I was too busy rubbing my clit and telling him I couldn't wait to have his cock in my mouth again. He said he wanted to do everything to me but at this moment he was thinking of coming on my face.
"I'd like that. I could lick your balls as you spray my mouth and cheeks."
I was getting near to climax and could tell by his voice that he was. He told me to take a moment to come and he would listen to the noise I was making.
I got into mode, fantasising about intercourse with him whilst touching my clit - I came.
I listened as he came shortly after.
My goodness what a strange experience! He ended the call by asking if the following weekend we could go out near where I live and then he could come back and stay. Naturally I said yes.
When we put the phone down I felt great but a bit sordid. It was new to me - phone sex - but I had got with the program because I want him so much. Maybe I'd been lured into it. I could have just put the phone down though. After all, I made the choice to continue. I won't be telling anyone about it in a hurry. Maybe I will tell Vic, but none of my girl friends.
I did begin to think about him saying he wants to have anal sex with me. I'm not a prood at all. I had anal with Vic a few times. I liked it. Al is "longer" than Vic but his girth is ok for anal. I just keep thinking there are three things now that make me wonder about his sexuality –
- Never having liked a girlfriend, until me.
- Then calling me a fucking bastard , whilst I was giving him head.
- And now he's going on about anal when we haven't even had ordinary intercourse yet.
One more thing to write, then I am up to date. Last night I went to Marie's party with Jane. It was Ok. Great weather so we were all in the garden. Marie's brother in law kept hitting on me. He is quite attractive in a "wide boy" kind of way but I couldn't think of anything else apart from Al!

The Pony Girl Rocking Chair by Peter Jakubik is an adult toy. It is a rocking chair, but instead of being shaped like a horse, it resembles a women fixed in a rather uncomprimising position.
The Pony Girl Rocking Chair by Peter Jakubik is manufactured from plywood with wax finish. The chair has a stained wooden exterior, and a darker surface that gives the product a retouched, vintage look. It's hard to look at this design and think how it stemmed from a children's toy, as the artist has completely reimagined the design. The object is definitely not for underage individuals, and will best be left in a safe hiding spot while visitors are over. Best to save the horse-play for the more private sections of one's abode.

The Florida gator-nabbers who were summoned to save Machado Lake from the terror of Reggie have called it quits for now—just like the Colorado wranglers before them. The Floridians didn't exit without offering some advice.
"We are considering this halftime," said Gatorland crew leader Tim Williams, 56, who has been handling alligators for 30 years. "He's won the first half."
Williams' four-man crew has advised park officials to keep calling Reggie's name and to continue leaving him tortillas, chicken legs and other items he likes in hopes that he will re-emerge. He was last spotted at 10 p.m. Sunday.
"He may never be seen again. It may be that he pops up after everybody gets back here, or you may not see him for six months to a year."
Oh come on. Next!

Hey there everybody! I know, I know, it's been FOREVER, right? Well, I have a reason for my very unexpected hiatus…
Are you ready for it?…
I'm PREGNANT! What? I know! It came as quite a shock to me and hubby as well. But, I suppose it is time for us to start a family that consists of more than just the two of us and our furry friends. We have been married almost 4 years, so sure! It's time. Even though it was a surprise, we are definitely happy about it and cannot wait to start this new chapter of our lives! 🙂
So, what does me being pregnant have to do with my unexpected hiatus?
Well, to be honest, I have just been so darn tired lately! I have barely been reading. I haven't been painting my nails at all because the doc told me I should avoid it for fear of chemicals being harmful to the baby. And I've been so busy prepping for baby! I miss doing these things I love so much, but my life is changing!
What does this mean for the future of Sharing Inspired Kreations?
I will continue to blog, just maybe not as much as I used to.
I am still not reading nearly as much as I was pre-pregnancy, unfortunately, and I'm not sure when (or even if) I will go back to reading that much. It all depends. My life is changing and I just can't predict what will happen. I love and miss reading so much, but reading just puts me to sleep these days!
BUT I have reviews that I never got around to posting, so I will put those up soon and continue on from there. Just, don't expect reviews to come as often as they once did. (And I have no clue what will happen to blogging once the baby comes – but I will try to keep it up).
As for nails designs, those will have to wait until after the baby comes. It sucks for sure, but it is better to be safe than sorry, right?? I think so, and since obviously painting one's nails is not a necessity, it will have to wait. People keep telling me that I won't have time for my nails once the baby comes either, but I don't see how they can think this. I know having a baby is very time-consuming and I know I don't know what I'm really getting myself into, but I also know that I have a husband who will be helping me out and we already made a deal that we would make sure that I have some time set aside every week for my nails! So, trust me, it will happen!
I have a new hobby that I might start blogging about! As a way to help quit smoking (that's right, I finally did it – this baby may have just saved my life!), for something to keep my hands busy, I picked up crocheting. I'm still a total newbie, but we'll see! I am enjoying it so far.
I assume I will start discussing topics of pregnancy and baby. I don't have any certain plans for this yet, but I am assuming these topics will sneak their way into my blog. And why not? I started this blog (and left SIK Book Reviews) so that I could discuss multiple topics. Why not add pregnancy and babies to my ever-growing list of topics?
P.S. – I'm due May 25. I can't believe how soon that is! I really was away from the blog a long time, wasn't I?

The lexer/parser stage may not be the right time to make that
distinction. The grammar should just specify IDENTIFIER, wherever you
now have TYPE_NAME. Then, in a later stage of compilation, you check
the symbol-table to see if that particular identifier was indeed a
type. To resolve resulting grammar ambiguities, you might consider
using a GLR parser, rather than an LALR parser. I'm not sure if YACC
supports them, but Bison does. The two largely compatible, as I
understand it, so you shouldn't have a steep learning curve.
There may be another way. Since C++ requires declarations textually
before any reference to them, you could write the parser to
dynamically build the symbol-table. If you make it global, or somehow
otherwise available to the lexer, the lexer could then check it to
return the right lexeme (TYPE_NAME instead of IDENTIFIER). It's called
a lexical tie-in, and that makes your grammar context-sensitive.
But that second way has some disadvantages:
* Context sensitive grammars are more complicated to understand. They
make error recovery more problematic, too. You're basically passing
information back and forth between the lexer and the parser, rather
than just one way.
* You'd have to squeeze a lot of code into that parser. It must now
build the AST and the symbol-table. I personally find it cleaner for
the semantic actions in the grammar to just build the AST, then use
the AST to build all the other stuff.
I'd personally go for the first option (and indeed, I did). But the
choice is yours.
Good luck!
Michiel Helvensteijn
[Given the syntactic ambiguties in C++, I'd also go with the GLR parser.

The National Panhellenic Conference exists to promote the values of and to serve as an advocate for its member groups in collaboration with those members, campuses and communities.
National Panhellenic Conference, founded in 1902, is an umbrella organization for 26 inter/national women's fraternities and sororities. Each member group is autonomous as a social, Greek-letter society of college women and alumnae. Members are represented on over 620 college and university campuses in the United States and Canada and in over 4,600 alumnae associations, making up over 4 million sorority women in the world.
Fraternity is a social experience based on the fundamental right of a free people to form voluntary associations. It is one of the enrichments of college life.
Mutual Choice
The young woman who wants fraternity experience will find it possible to belong on most campuses today. Fraternity membership is a social experience arrived at by mutual choice and selection. Fraternity membership is by invitation.
Fraternities Exist Because They:
* Provide a good democratic social experience.
* Give value beyond college years.
* Create, through their ideals, an ever-widening circle of service beyond the membership.
* Develop the individual's potential through leadership opportunities and group effort.
* Fill the need of belonging.
Fraternities Continue Because:
Young women feel a continuing need to belong. Parents appreciate fraternity values and standards and cooperate to make membership possible. College administrations, recognizing the values of fraternities, continue to welcome them on their campuses and to invite them to establish new chapters.

Ask your distro. FYI, Fedora also packages the winepulse driver, but they put it in a separate wine-pulseaudio package rather than forcing it on all Wine users. That seems like a better system to me, but I don't know enough about packaging to say if that's possible in Ubuntu.

BABSON PARK, Mass. - The Babson College Athletics Department has named Clayton Reed (New Haven, Vt.) its new head coach of men's and women's alpine skiing, Director of Athletics Josh MacArthur recently announced. Reed takes over after the departure of longtime coach Joe Harty.
Reed recently graduated from Middlebury College, where he majored in Economics and minored in Environmental Studies. As a member of the Panthers' varsity ski team, he was named First Team All-East in 2005 and Second Team All-East in 2006. He also competed at the NCAA Championships in three straight seasons between 2005 and 2007. In addition to his competitive success, Reed has served as a coach and mentor at the Sugarbush Ski Club in Vermont and as a coach at the Win Alpine Summer Ski Camp in Mount Hood, Oregon.
While at Middlebury, Reed also worked as an operations intern at EnerNOC in Boston, and in 2006 he co-wrote an economic analysis on carbon neutrality at the Middlebury Snow Bowl, which has since become the first carbon neutral ski area in the United States.
"Clayton brings a wealth of ski racing knowledge to Babson, and our student-athletes will benefit from his tutelage," says MacArthur. "With Coach Harty's departure, we lost a fantastic leader and teacher of young adults. I believe Clayton is the ideal candidate to take over our program and continue the success we've enjoyed in recent years."
Reed takes over a program that showed great improvement in 2007-08. The women's squad jumped to seventh overall in the MacConnell Division, while the men took fifth in the league, recorded their highest regional finish ever (fourth), and placed 10th in their third USCSA National Championship appearance in the last four years.

LONDON -- A British businessman, jailed in Iran on spy charges five years ago, flew home yesterday after his surprise release.
The freeing of Roger Cooper, 55, was seen as new evidence of Iran's interest in improving relations with Britain and the West.
His release was announced only after he was on board a London-bound flight, a precaution against any attempt by hard-liners in Tehran to block it.

Berardinelli, Internet Critic Full ReviewAverage Fred Claus, which fits loosely under the umbrella occupied by the forgettable Santa Clause trilogy, is the latest such failed endeavor. The movie is passable in a made-for-TV fashion, but the problem is that it isn't made-for-TV.
Roger Ebert Full ReviewAverage The movie wants to be good-hearted but is somehow sort of grudging.
USA Today Full ReviewAverage Fred Claus is as derivative and predictable as any of the holiday comedies of the past few years, providing audiences with at best a handful of laughs. Most of it is uninspired.

About Our Opinions
Be sure to read the
The positive and negative comments made by moviegoers are very
helpful when selecting a movie that's appropriate for you and your family.
Moviegoer Opinions:
Fred Claus (Vince Vaughn) has lived almost his entire life in his little brother's very large shadow. Fred tried, but he could never live up to the example set by the younger Nicholas (Paul Giamatti), who was just a perfect…well…Saint. True to form, Nicholas grew up to be the model of giving, while Fred became the polar opposite: a repo man who then steals what he repossesses. Now Fred's dirty dealings have landed him in jail. Over Mrs. Claus's objections, Nicholas agrees to bail his big brother out on one condition: that he come to the North Pole and work off his debt making toys. The trouble is that Fred isn't exactly elf material and, with Christmas fast approaching, this one bad seed could jeopardize the jolliest holiday of the year. Has Fred finally pushed his little brother to the brink? This time, what Fred may have stolen is Christmas itself, and it is going to take more than Rudolph to set things right.

Formed in the spring of
2008, ofHuman quickly established a strong foothold in the Columbus
music scene. Practicing daily in a 10'x15' basement,
Josh Mason, Adam Gilbert, Stephen Simmons, and Dave Tipple began
forging their distinct sound, building songs around vocal hooks,
big guitars, and a powerfully effective rhythm section. With a
strong D.I.Y. attitude, ofHuman began promoting at the street
level. After months of hard work building personal relationships
with venue owners and club-goers, as well as the spreading word
of their live abilities, the band drew 600 people to their first
At this point ofHuman felt confident enough to enter the studio
for their first full length album. Recording ten songs in less
than 100 hours at Sonic Lounge Studios in Grove City, Ohio, "…All
The Plastic Arts" was released in January of 2010. The new
material gained the guys respect from fans, venue owners, and
music critics, making it clear that they are not to be overlooked.
Throughout 2010 ofHuman shared the stage with numerous national
acts including Taproot, Sevendust, All That Remains, Smashmouth,
Saving Jane, and many more. Although not always a perfect fit
for the bill, the Ohio Rock foursome is able to win over fans
at whatever shows they play.
The attention they received from "…A.T.P.A."
was not limited to members of the local music circles. During
2010 drummer Adam Gilbert was able to attract the business of
Chicago Custom Percussion, Soultone Cymbals, and Silverfox Drumsticks.
Their continued support of the band helped to fuel a product that
in July of 2010, caught the eye of Crushtone Records (Jim Wirt
i.e. Incubus, Hoobastank, Fiona Apple, etc.). After the guys released
the information to the public of their label showcase, 150 dedicated
fans came out to a small club on Ohio State's Campus on
a Tuesday night to support the band. Waiting until a late 1:30a.m.
set, ofHuman and their loyal fans made a lasting impression on
label president Randy Chase. Soon thereafter ofHuman entered Closer
Look Studios in Cleveland, Ohio, with Crushtone and producer/owner
Jim Wirt to record their first label released EP.

Hi I'm Jodi Gallagher and I'm one of the crafters at Reclaim-ologists And Other Crafty Chicks. I have an obsession with old wood windows. I buy them up whenever I find them, no matter how many I already have. So I thought I'd share some of my favorite ways to up-cycle them.
First I made this calender/chalkboard. Super easy and so much fun. I first taped off half of it and sprayed on chalkboard spray paint. I did 3 coats. Then I added a piece of trim in the middle. Next I added vinyl lettering to the top.
Going with the theme of chalkboards, next is a menu board I made. Same idea, tape and paint with chalkboard paint. It had a horrible blue paint job around the edges, so I painted it burgundy to match my house better. You could do this in any size. You could also add vinyl lettering for the days of the week instead of writing them.
Tables are a fun way to up-cycle a window too. I love this one that my husband and I built. We used old spindles from a staircase for the legs and braces and added trim to the edges. You could also make it into a shadow box table too.
Add vinyl lettering and some berries and you can have fun wall decor. I've made some for clients with their names and year established on it. Possibilities are endless on this one!
Just use a window for a good ole picture frame or cute decoration. Easy but fun to have something different from the norm.
What is your favorite way to up-cycle old windows? Leave a comment and let us know! If you'd like us to up-cycle a window for you, let us know, we'd be happy to help!

Excellent tire with great traction control!
Maxxis RAZR XC Cross Country Front Tire
Write your review and you'll automatically be entered in our monthly drawing. Include an image or video to DOUBLE your chances to win!Write Your Review
Stops great and goes where I aim it
Excellent traction, can really ride hard into corners and over obstacles. Like all soft rubber tires there is some wear but it's no worse then any other tire I have used.
Not so close tread allows mud to not cake
I have only had these tires for 2 days I rode at hollister hills in California and for those of you who have ridin there it is very rocky and hard packed, anyways I have had two full days on these first day mud and puddles and such. They grip amazingly never had tires Iike this. Second day hard packed and dry, still amazing grip. I don't even see any wear on these tires even after rolling my quad no pops or tears in the sidewalls, these things still have the factory nipples on them. I would recommend these tires to anybody these are the best tires I have ever had. I've been riding for 10 years. My quad is a the blue YFZ 450 in the picture.
I got my tires through a sponsor ship while running msxc and they have held up for two seasons now and i have not flipped them around. They will climb any hill you throw at them. They corner awesome and has hardly any roll over.
Wheels are listed as Diameter X Width
Tires are listed as Height X Width X Wheel Diameter
You will have to make sure the first number in the wheel size and the last number in the tire size are the same so that the tires can mount on your wheels.
Keep in mind that we always suggest to use stock sizing for your machine.

Jazz pianist Marian McPartland dies
NPR reports that the longtime radio show host died at home.
Fans of jazz know her name — and her work. She had a particular specialty.
Marian McPartland, jazz pianist and host of a longtime NPR radio program devoted to jazz, has died.
NPR reports McPartland died of natural causes Tuesday night at her home on Long Island, N.Y. She was 95.
McPartland, says NPR, reached an audience of millions in her career. The British-born McPartland started playing piano at age 3, toured with the USO and played jazz in clubs in New York in the 1950s. When rock 'n' roll took over the scene, she went into radio.
She launched her Piano Jazz program in 1979 on NPR and delighted audiences with her interviews and duets until she stepped down in 2011.
She won a lifetime achievement Grammy in 2004, and just before her 90th birthday, she composed and performed a symphonic piece, A Portrait of Rachel Carson.

The following Press Release was issued by Inclusive Church today.
Inclusive Church is hoping that the Lambeth Conference will witness an outbreak of peace in the Anglican Communion. IC has organised two events for the Lambeth Conference
"Strangers to Friends" - the IC Network Eucharist. 17 groups will come together to celebrate the peace we know in Christ, having worked together all year. All are welcome. Saturday 26th July: 7pm, Keynes Lecture Theatre. President – Rt Revd Carlos Touché-Porter, Archbishop of Mexico and a Primate of the Anglican Communion. Preacher – Canon Lucy Winkett, St Paul's Cathedral.
"Inclusive Imperative – Anglican Welcome" Revd Dr Richard Burridge, Dean of King's College London and Ms Nomfundo Walaza from Cape Town, SA will speak on "Using the New Testament now in peace-making and conflict resolution." All are welcome. Thursday 31st July, 6.30 pm, Darwin Suite 1.
Canon Giles Goddard, Chair of IC, said "The conference has been planned as a chance for people to meet and talk. That's it. As a church we have to work out new ways of living together. It's not a time for point scoring or arguing but for engaging and listening."
IC welcomes the acknowledgement by the Archbishop of Wales on Sunday that he would, if agreed by the Church in Wales, consecrate a gay bishop in a relationship. The first Lambeth Conference was born out of controversy, and focused on unity as a way forward. The reality of Anglican welcome means that the issues which face us are here to stay.
For further information contact;
Revd Canon Giles Goddard: 07762 373 674 firstname.lastname@example.com
Revd Clare Herbert: 07504 577 210 firstname.lastname@example.com
Or visit www.inclusivechurch.net
Information for editors: InclusiveChurch is a network of organisations and individuals who come from differing traditions and locations but are united in one aim; to celebrate and maintain the traditional inclusivity of the Anglican Communion.

The news of Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor parting ways has gained traction over a span of weeks. While there have been reports that it was nothing but a minor tiff, latest gossip on it paints a different picture altogether.
According to Miss Malini, Salman Khan advised Kaif to make an official announcement regarding her breakup with the Kapoor scion as it's easy to admit to things than to dodge questions.
The timeline of the Kapoor-Kaif split is confusing and also extremely controversial. While some reports suggest it was the boyfriend's closeness with "Tamasha" co-star Deepika Padukone that completely soured their equation, rest say Kapoor's non-committal attitude was what ruined the relationship.
That's not all, Alia Bhatt's presence at the couple's parties was apparently one of reasons why they decided to call it quits. Also, when asked if Kaif's breakup with Kapoor was a publicity stunt her team interrupted SpotboyE reporter saying she will only talk about her upcoming release "Fitoor".
At one point in time there was a strong buzz about how Kaif walked out of her relationship after she had a talk with the "Sultan" actor. They even chatted away at Ali Abbas Zafar's party about it. However, later Kaif's spokesperson quashed rumours saying she was there only to attend the bash adding that the gossip has her majorly disappointed.
In other news, Kaif and Kapoor will be next seen in Anurag Basu' "Jagga Jasoos".


text: I was looking through a box of 25th Joe parts and I thought of this. I loved the old Jonny Quest cartoon and Race was my favorite character. I had a Shipwreck body and arms and a Duke head and hands. I combined the two and painted them to match the cartoon. I still have some work to do on the flesh tones and a few touch ups. I had to remove and fill a few places on the legs, like where the holster was. I thinks it has turned out pretty good so far. I have already started to put together Dr. Quest too.

Cordura is a high strength, cut resistant nylon fabric that is great for adding abrasion resitance to ratchet straps, winch straps, and many other types of webbing. Cordura sleeves do not add any strength to the work load limit or break strength of the strap but ideal for adding resisitance to abrasion and cutting. Sleeve is designed to fit snugly against webbing. To install, fold webbing in half, feed through sleeve, unfold, and pull to straighten.
To order Cordura webbing: please specify the total linear feet needed in the "Add to Cart" box above . During the checkout process, you may specify specific lengths needed from the total feet in the "Special Instructions' box. There is no additional charge for specific lengths but due to the labor of the cutting process, your order may be delayed from shipping for a short time (1 business day). If you do not specify specific lengths during the checkout process, you will receive 1 continuous length (ie. If you order 200' and want 10' pieces but it is not specified during the checkout process, you will receive one 200' roll).
Cordura webbing sleeves are sold by the linear foot in the following sizes:

Prediction of Response to Erythropoietin Treatment in Cancer Related Anemia Patients Receiving Chemotherapy
This is an observational, prospective (study following participants forward in time),
multi-center (study conducted in more than 1 center) study to identify the predictive
factors that will effectively predict the response to erythropoietin treatment in cancer
related anemia participants receiving chemotherapy. The entire duration of study will be
approximately 1 year. Participants will primarily be evaluated for achieving at least 1 gram
per deciliter (g per dl) rise in hemoglobin (substance that carries oxygen and gives blood
its red color) level after receiving erythropoietin treatment based on National
Comprehensive Cancer Institute (NCCN) V3.2009 practice guideline criteria. Response to
erythropoietin treatment will also be predicted using other independent hematological
(related to blood) factors like C-reactive protein (CRP - is an acute serum protein released
from liver). It is associated with low hemoglobin [substance that carries oxygen and gives
blood its red color] or erythropoietin [hormone secreted by kidney that helps in formation
of red blood cells in bone marrow] resistance), erythropoietin (EPO), hemoglobin, hematocrit
(amount of red blood cells in blood), reticulocyte (immature red blood cells) count,
ferritin (a protein that stores iron and allows the body to use iron), serum iron (iron is
in the blood which is bound to transferrin) and transferring iron binding capacity (TIBC),
level. Number of blood transfusions and participants' safety will be monitored throughout
the study.
Observational Model: Case-Only, Time Perspective: Prospective
Percentage of Participants With Response to Erythropoietin Treatment
Responders of erythropoietin treatment were defined as participants who achieved at least 1 gram per deciliter (g per dl) rise from Baseline in hemoglobin level during within 4-8 weeks or participants who achieved 12 g per dl hemoglobin level at anytime during the study evaluation period (about 8 weeks of follow-up, hemoglobin level reached to 12 g per dl or participants who received blood transfusion at any time of study period) based on National Comprehensive Cancer Institute (NCCN) V3.2009 practice guideline criteria.

How To Time A 1999 Ford Contour 4 Cylinder
Knowing how to time a 1999 Ford Contour 4 cylinder is the same as any other 4 cylinder engine. Firstly, the engine management system controls the amount of fuel and air which gets burned at a specific time and rate. What can be adjusted is the amount of advance or retardation in the ignition timing and valve timing can also be adjusted, although you need to stick between specific parameters which Ford states in order to keep your engine healthy.
Tools you Need:
- Timing Gun
- Ratchet set
- Timing Gun To check the timing running in between the correct parameters, you need a timing gun. Above the crankshaft pulley there are notches in the casing. These have numbers on them which means the degree of advance the engine can be set at. Advance is when the spark will ignite the air and fuel when the reaches the combustion chamber (above the piston and at the top of its stroke, or top dead center TDC). By setting the timing a few degrees ahead say for example the engine's standard timing is 12 degrees before top dead center (BTDC) then you might be able to run 14 or even 16 degrees safely.
- It is important to listen out for any knocking or pinging which is called pre-detonation. This is when the combustion occurs when the piston is still on its up stroke and can ruin an engine quickly
- Attach the clip of the timing gun to cylinder one HT lead and the other lead to the positive battery lead. Start the car and aim the gun at the timing marks on the crank pulley. There will be a mark on the pulley and you need to match the timing marks up, you can adjust the distributor casing until the marks line up.
- Having the correct timing is vital for the performance, fuel efficiency and longevity of your engine. If you feel a reduced amount of power or fuel consumption is increased, you might need to check the timing again.

Extractable Study on a COP Polymer Pre-Filled Syringe
Sponsored by: Terumo Pharmaceutical Solutions & Toxikon Europe
Focused on:
- Pre Filled Syringes
- Polymer Syringes
Date: 19 April
Time: 3PM Berlin/2PM London/9AM New York
PLAJEX™ ready-to-fill polymer syringes with a focus on biotherapeutics
The new era of biotherapeutics has prompted the parenteral drug development business into a changing injectable landscape due to the physical and chemical sensitivity of these drug products. In particular, Pre-Fillable Syringes are more likely to induce interactions that could affect immunogenicity and product safety.
The pharma industry has a responsibility to ensure the safety and efficacy of its drugs; therefore, it is necessary to assess each step of development, from raw materials to the final product. It is of utmost importance to confirm that the drug product remains stable when stored in drug containers. The heightened regulatory scrutiny is also reflected in the guidelines that have been produced by various regulatory bodies and organizations, such as the FDA, PQRI and Pharmacopoeia. Appropriate selection of primary packaging is critical and the pharma industry is increasingly choosing a polymer prefilled syringe.
This webinar will afford the audience a complete overview of the benefits of selecting a polymer system, with a focus on the features of TERUMO's PLAJEX™ ready-to-fill polymer syringe system, which minimizes interactions with therapeutic proteins. More specifically the results of a formal extractable study on the components of this PFS system and the overview of the analytical study matrix and study set-up will be presented and discussed.

The Triumphant Return of the Red Marvel
by Will Shetterly
"I am sorry," the woman said, as he expected and feared she would. "The shelter is full."
He nodded to reassure her. She was a kind woman. She was as much a prisoner in this world as he. "There are other places," he lied, and he turned, knowing he could not find any place to take him in tonight.
"Wait," she said, and handed him a card. "Try here."
"The cathedral?"
"They've got cots and blankets. On such a cold night—"
He chuckled, though he was not sure if he did that for her or himself. "You call this cold? In Minnesota, we would cut a hole in the ice and jump in just to cool off on such a pleasant evening."
She smiled, making him feel young again. He wished he could tell her about the time he had fought the Skyscraper Men, constantly retreating northward until they froze within yards of the North Pole, but he knew she thought he was an addled old man, and he did not want her to worry even more about him.
She said, "I wish someone could drive you—"
"If—" he said, starting to ask if a bed was being held in reserve in case a woman or a child needed it, and whether he could sleep there if he promised to leave it the moment anyone showed.
"No, it's good." He smiled despite his weariness and the old pain in his hip. If there was a way he could stay, she would have told him. He was so tired, and the night was so cold, but he would not beg for a place that someone weaker might need. Sometimes he wondered if his nemesis had a way to watch him here. If so, the Ticker Tape Man would know that he might trap him, but he could not crush his spirit.
Stepping back into the night, he thought, Chicago's ice demons are as formidable as any the Mad Mogul sent against me. The cathedral was two miles away. In the universe where he belonged, he could have flown that far in the time it took a child to cry, "Help!"
The wind was behind him. That was a mercy. He did not know how cold it was. That was another mercy. What more could anyone want than two mercies? He squeezed his fists together in his mittens, plunged them into the pockets of his filthy coat, and began to march. He had once hiked halfway around the Burning Planet to reach a Transdimensional Taxi Stop. Walking a few blocks through a bitter Illinois night should be easy.
With each step, his hands and his feet grew more numb, and his hip hurt more. He could bear that. What hurt most was what his hip reminded him of, the night in the car with his wife and his dog beside him, and his pregnant daughter and her husband in the front seat. He knew what his enemy based the false memory on. When the Comrades of Justice—he and the Blue Amazon and Laika the CosmoDog and Universal Girl and Mr. Sandman—were returning from Jupiter in Mr. Sandman's Dream Mobile, a comet sent by the Tyrannosaur Tycoon had crashed into them. But in the true world, he and Laika had flown the Dream Mobile home, and then he and the Comrades had defeated the Tycoon once again. In this false world of his foe's making, the Corolla holding everyone he loved had been hit by a drunken driver, and he alone survived.
He did not count the blocks as he trudged down the cold, empty streets, so he did not know how far he had gone when he slipped and fell. He lay on the icy sidewalk for a long moment, assessing his pain and wondering if he should sleep there. When Queen Kapital froze him solid for a week, he had thawed as easily as waking from a nap.
But without his powers, frostbite was inevitable. Once the Purple Plutocrat had dropped a mountain on top of him, and even he had doubted that he could rise until the sound of a baby crying for aid had made him do what he must. Now he could hear nothing but the wind. Without another person's need to inspire him, standing was harder, but still he stood and walked on.
He had never thought he was a hero. With great power, who wouldn't have captured Hitler and destroyed his army on the day he invaded Poland? Who wouldn't have defended the democracies in Iran and Guatemala in the '50s? Who wouldn't have ended the blockade of Cuba and freed the people of Vietnam in the '60s? Who wouldn't have stopped the massacres of the Timorese in the '70s? Who wouldn't have helped the Afghans defeat religious terrorists or protected the Salvadorans from the Contras in the '80s? Who wouldn't have made a world where wealth was shared and no one suffered?
He heard a siren's approach and stopped. The RoboThugs of the Iron Imperialist had made that same shrill sound to terrify the people, but this was only a police car on a late-night call. He considered waving and asking if he could ride with them. Even a moment in the back of a warm car would revive him. If he was very lucky, they would let him sleep in a cell. But if he was very unlucky, they would insult him and beat him and laugh as they left him. The cold creeping through his body told him to take the risk.
He waved, but the car did not slow as it raced by. Perhaps they never saw him. He hoped their siren meant someone would get help tonight.
He made himself walk another block. Did the numbness in his legs make the pain in his hip worse? Passing an alley, he saw a dumpster and hesitated. Maybe there would be a tarp or a blanket inside, something he could wrap around himself as he walked.
But when he pushed the top open, he only saw garbage bags and flattened cardboard boxes. He sighed, looked again at the empty street, and knew he needed to rest. How many times had he fought the Martian Meritocrat and won after resting and returning to fight again? There was no shame in resting. Taking time to restore your strength was how you won.
His arms and legs were so weak that he feared they would fail him, but he pushed himself as hard as he had when the whole Earth depended on him, and he tumbled into the dumpster. It did not smell. That was another mercy, his third of the evening. He smiled as he burrowed under the cardboard. He was making a den, a tiny version of his Subsea Retreat, a quiet place surrounded by cold where he could prepare for the next battle to save the people of the planet he loved most.
Was the Ticker Tape Man watching him now? This was not the greatest indignity he had suffered on this cruel mirror Earth. "You will never win," he whispered. "Never."
He was close to sleep when he heard voices nearby. He could call for help, but he did not know if he wanted it. He had slept through many cold nights in worse places. He would sleep through another.
Then he heard one voice clearly.
"Red Marvel!" she called. "You are needed!"
His strength returned, filling his body with a warmth that was almost more painful than the cold. He flexed his limbs, and the dumpster exploded away from him, and his filthy clothes fell in tatters as he flew upward in his red and gold uniform, and the Dream Mobile was speeding down from the sky with Mr. Sandman at the wheel, and Universal Girl was beside him, and the Blue Amazon was smiling and crying as she reached out for him, and speeding ahead of the others, flying into his arms to lick his face, came Laika the CosmoDog.

According to Technomic Inc.'s 2013 Volumetric Assessment of Pork in Foodservice, Pork has been the fastest growing protein over the past two years. The 2013 foodservice pork category totals 9.25 billion pounds, a record high, reflecting a volume increase of 462 million pounds over 2011.This 2.6 percent increase outpaces the protein growth average of 0.8 percent and the total foodservice industry growth of 1.5 percent.
Over the past two years, fresh pork has driven growth of the total pork category, increasing by 3.5 percent annually. Processed pork has grown as well, up 2.3 percent, driven by ham, breakfast sausage, and bacon, which represent 56 percent of the carcass weigh equivalent. In categories where both uncooked and pre-cooked offerings exist, both options are growing at almost the same rate. In categories where bone-in and boneless formats are available, both versions have increased in volume since 2011, with boneless growing at a slightly faster rate.
Twenty-two of the 24 pork product categories reviewed exhibited positive growth. On a pound basis, bacon grew the most between 2011 and 2013, up 102 MM pounds. Carnita meat, shoulder/butt and pulled pork grew the fastest by percent with a compound annual growth rate of 8 percent, 6.6 percent, and 6.4 percent respectively. Notable growth was also seen in ground pork, Canadian bacon, whole loin, Italian specialty meats, and ribs.
"We are pleased to see such positive growth in foodservice, especially carnita meat, shoulder/butt, and pulled pork," says Stephen Gerike, National Pork Board director of foodservice marketing. "The volumetric study shows that operators are leveraging the versatility of pork. These cuts can be used across the menu as a basis for many on-trend global flavors, as center of the plate items or as an ingredient, and as a protein offering in all dayparts."
When it comes to the three major dayparts, pork has almost equal volume representation, but its volume is growing most aggressively within breakfast and snacks. Pork is also menued across all segments, with full service restaurants and limited service representing about two-thirds of all pork volume.
Menuing pork presents many opportunities for operators to grow their business and be profitable. For further information on the volumetric study or to find out how pork can work harder on your menu, please contact that National Pork Board at 1-800-456-PORK or [email protected].

text: Wild, unfocused, and occasionally fascinating – Bibio surely isn't trying to repeat himself much on the appropriately titled Mind Bokeh. Doing away with some of the sunny, almost tropic folk sounds of his previous LP Ambivalence Avenue and created this chaotic and Soulful slice of pop/electronica. It's very overwhelming hearing this record the first time -you're sort of confused and wonder where this album is going. Hazy Atmospherics, murky soul-searching, weaving bubbly Techno melodies, Funky Bass-lines, and stuttering Found-Sounds. While some songs are instantly appealing and recall his earlier work (K is for Kelson, Anything New) some tracks begin to feel a little cluttered or are just total curve-balls (Take off Your Shirt). The more you listen however, the more the album unravels and the disparate elements seem to really gel. Mind Bokeh might make you scratch your head like I did the first time, or it could reveal itself for the album it is the first listen through – an eclectic showcase for one of electronic music's most inventive producers.
