Conceal Carry Class? What information covered?
I will hopefully be taking the Conceal Carry course in my area in the coming month or so.
What information is covered? Is it mostly legal do's and don't's or is their any coverage of tactics?

Here in Minnesota with the one-day (six required hours) CCW courses it's mostly the do's & don't's and the legal implications of using or even pulling a firearm - the very fact of what's going to happen to YOU legally if you decide to take firearm force into your own hands. Pull that trigger and you'd better have an absolutely justifiable reason according to your State laws otherwise get ready for some painful Court time, VERY possible jail time, and a legal cost that will bankrupt you for life.
There is some tactics, but not much. Of course the firearms proficiency test is included, but anyone can pass that. Generally speaking, the one day courses focus on the legalities of carrying, then they heavily suggest taking more advanced classes that go into more the tactics and staying alive scenarios...

Tactics? What's that...
The class in VA basically just covers firearm handling safety, how to shoot at the range, a little history, differences in firearms and cartridges...then shooting various guns at the range for an hour. A couple people in my 8-person class had never fired a gun before, and here they were getting their CHP.
I really think it depends on the instructor/company. Some go a step further and include information about implications of using a firearm for defense, so ask around for a good class.

Read Chris' post above, . . . about the same we took here in Ohio.
Mechanics of revolver vs. autoloader; parts of each; some legal information and "advice" as both were ex LEO's; infomation on different concealment techniques, . . . and the range time.
Tactics: not covered.
May God bless,
If you can breathe, . . . thank God!
If you can read, . . . thank a teacher!
If you are reading this in English, . . . thank a Veteran!

Most CCW classes can be broken down into the general topics as follows;
The legal section is where you're told where you may not carry, what restrictions there are, justifications for drawing your weapon, consequences for actually displaying/firing your weapon, etc.
Seldom taught are tactics in any great detail. Not even basic tactics such as using a barricade position. There is generally not enough time in a 1-day class to adequately teach such concepts to novices. In fact, it's hard enough to teach them to hold a revolver with the weak hand while reloading.
Sometimes you see some novel concepts with firearms from novices. Like one woman who wanted to qualify with a .36 caliber 1862 Police black powder pistol! She just couldn't figure out where the .380 cartridges went!
Sometimes men are just as ignorant, like a guy showing up with a .40 S&W and four boxes of reloaded .45 ammo (who then gets indignant that he can't trade the ammo for new factory .40S&W ammo without paying more).

CCW in CA
Years ago I took a required class before getting a CCW in No. Calif.
It comprised a fair amount of classroom discussion and 1/2 day of range time.
Instructors included CHP, Prosecuting Attorney, Judge, several Gun Instructors.
All gave good information. We also had time "off-the-record" to ask questions and receive answers candidly. No notes were taken then nor photos. Got very good street advice from LEO's and Prosecuting Attorneys.

Unfortuneately depending on where you take your class will determine what information you get. The information I was given at my class differs from the information my friend got at his class. I thought my class was going to be by the book, considering it was held at Bass Pro Shops but I was wrong.

In Arizona, a 16-hour course is required for first time permit holders, with a 4-hour course required for renewal permits. Permits are good for four years. A brief synopsis of the course includes:
Safety Briefing
Types of Sidearms and nomenclature
Firearm Selection (power vs. controllability vs. concealability)
Firearm Retention
Firearm storage devices
Ammunition and storage (including various types)
Training household members
Law And Legal (Mandatory 3 hours minimum)
Weapon Care And Maintenance
Mental Conditioning
Weapon Manipulation and Marksmanship (including stances and grips)
Judgmental Shooting
Written Test
Final Qualification
The classes my son and I teach usually run closer to 20 hours, as we include a low light briefing and a night shoot. And, since it is a concealed weapon course, we demonstrate drawstrokes from strong side (OWB & IWB), crossdraw, SOB, shoulder holsters and ankle holsters from concealment. Drawstrokes from fanny packs and purses are also included.

Here in Tennessee, the class is for the person who hasn't as much as seen a gun before. You really dont talk about much of value, but you spend many hours learning the difference between a revolver and semi, between a barrel and a chamber, and what the grip looks like. It is fairly rediculous, and all they give you is a pretty brief summary of the laws. I had to go and do my research when I actually got my permit so I wouldn't be breaking any laws that were neglected in the course.

Here in Michigan we are taught the NRA "Home Defense Course". Otherwise very similar to the others posted. seems every place is a bit different around this state as far as course of fire. I didn't even get to empty my first mag on the range. The instructor made the comment "Oh, you shoot alot, you can go now". So of the three hours required, I spent about three minutes. The best part of the class was the LEO presentation. Very good guy with good info all around.

Another nyonya kueh here...heehee! Actually this was requested by my daughter. She named it "Rainbow kueh"....cause of the colours. We used to order this kueh without fail when we are at this nyonya stall, either for breakfast or tea-time, which we did quite often. Yeah...too much of those kueh will bring bad health...due to those santan used. The typical Authentic Nyonya kueh consists alot of coconut milk, and due to health conscious, coconut milk is reduced here.
This is actually called Nyonya kueh Lapis which is porpular during weddings. (During the old days)...
340g Wet rice flour...(300g rice flour mix with 30-40ml water, make into a soft dough)
225g Sago flour
1/4 tsp Salt
500ml Coconut milk
355ml water
425ml Water
380g Sugar
8-10 pcs Pandan leaves
** few drops of colouring (Red, Orange)
~ Mix ingredients (A) till smooth then set aside.
~ Boil ingredients (B) until the sugar dissolved and strain.
~ Pour the hot syrup into the flour mixture, stirring all the time till its well blended.
~ Reserve 150ml mixture and mix with dark orange colouring for the last layer.
~Divide mixture into 3 portions (i used only 2 colours here-red, orange and the plain one)
~ Grease round or square tin (9") then place into the wok with boiling water. Pour in 150ml of mixture for each and steam 6 minutes for each layer until the mixture used up and top with the 150ml mixture with dark orange colour.
** Colour can me adjust to your preference.
** Note that the wet rice flour dough...add water slowly until a soft dough is form.
** Cool completely before cutting

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - LSU Offensive Coordinator Cam Cameron received a Super Bowl ring from the Baltimore Ravens Tuesday in Baton Rouge.
Cameron was released by the Ravens in week 14 of the 2012 season after a loss to the Washington Redskins. The Ravens went on to beat the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 in the 2013 Super Bowl.
"Honestly, it meant a lot," Cameron told the Baltimore Sun. "I'm very appreciative of the people in Baltimore and obviously the leadership of the Ravens for that gesture. It meant a tremendous amount. It meant a lot to my family."
Cameron told the Baltimore Sun he is very happy at LSU and made some comparisons between LSU and Baltimore players, including Zach Mettenberger and Joe Flacco.
"I love Zach. He's like all LSU quarterbacks. They take a lot of heat. But he's tough," Cameron said. "He's got a similar arm to Joe. I would imagine that he will have one of the stronger arms in college football. He's got an NFL arm. He's a sneaky-good athlete. He might go through a similar progression to what Joe went through. He's really raw. He's only started here one year. Joe didn't play a lot of college football. This kid has only played one full year as a starter and he will be our starter this year. He could take a similar path to Joe Flacco. He's got that kind of ability."

Virgin Atlantic has a new ad out! And it makes flying look like something between attending the VMAs and a scene from 300. But let's keep it really real here, Virgin—you're cool, but flying is not like this.
The full ad—which, to its credit, is well done, as far as travel porn goes—can be viewed in its entirety below. Slow motion! Sultry flight attendants! Gourmet shrimp—in slow motion! It accomplishes something between making me want to run out and buy a ticket to anywhere right now, and making me feel a lot less cool about myself.

by Hugh Hunter
"The Deadly Game" is a suspense-thriller you will never forget. Now playing at Stagecrafters, it is such a novel blend of elements you feel you are watching something that is wholly original.
"The Deadly Game" is an adaptation by James Yaffe of "The Breakdown" (1956), a novella by Swiss writer Friedrich Duerrenmatt. It centers around Howard Trapp, an American salesman who travels to Europe on a business deal.
Stranded by a snowstorm, Trapp seeks refuge in a Swiss chalet where he encounters some old European judicial workers: prosecutor (Paul Diferdinando), defense attorney (Nick Lutwyche), judge (Jack Roe) and a doddering old man (Mike Mogar).
Bored and resentful over their enforced retirement, the Europeans amuse themselves by reenacting famous trials of history — Socrates, Saint Joan of Arc and the like. But when Trapp drops in, they get the chance to make a bit of history themselves.
The group invites Trapp to participate in a "parlor game" in which Trapp himself will be put on trial. Fun loving, cocky Trapp is game for anything, but he cannot think of any crime he has committed. The prosecutor sets out to prove him wrong.
All action takes place inside the large wooden chalet (set décor, Yaga Brady). Lighting effects enhance the drama and the absurdity of the "trial" (lighting Gilbert Todd), and tension quickens as director Brady keeps a tight focus on the prosecutor and Trapp.
Diferdinando portrays a doggedly insistent prosecutor. His pacing is full of purpose as he ferrets out information from Trapp, pressing forward with such emotional momentum you scarcely notice that the prosecutor's concluding arguments are farcically illogical.
Paul McNair is brilliant as the hapless American. What makes Trapp so funny is his vulgarity that he himself cannot see. But instead of being offensive, Trapp seems harmlessly comic, and his escalating bewilderment during the trial is something to behold.
Trapp slowly learns. The cameo roles of Nicole (Ana-Maria Arkan), a subtly flirty French maid; Pierre (Greg Pronko), a creepy manservant; and Helen (Mary Ann Domanska), Trapp's estranged wife, all help flesh out a dramatic scenario that is shot through with comic irony. Author Friedrich Duerrenmatt is a past-master of the parable. Even as "The Deadly Game" grips you at the storytelling level, layers of meaning play under the surface.
In this work there is the palpable satire of the court system where nothing serious is ever said. What is important to these particular jurists is how you play the game, an approach to justice rooted in general misanthropy.
The play is also a portrait of post-war Europe. Salesman Trapp is the triumphant American, brash and falsely self-confident (a nod to Arthur Miller perhaps). The trial itself can be seen as a showdown between American ignorance and European decadence.
"The Deadly Game" is quite an experience, a memorable tour de force that manages to gracefully mix together the diverse genres of suspense thriller with satire. And that is not easy to do.
Stagecrafters is located at 8130 Germantown Ave. "The Deadly Game" will run through April 29. Reservations available at 215-247-9913.

NEWTOWN - The Newtown Historical Society will present Both Grandfathers Served in WWI at 3 p.m. Sunday, January 7, in the C.H. Booth Library.
Peter Markle is the grandson of two veterans of the American Expeditionary Force who served in Europe and will discuss their experiences.
His maternal grandfather, John Stewart, served with New York's 27th Division and was wounded and gassed during an attack on the Hindenburg Line.
He received the Purple Heart.
Mr. Markle's paternal grandfather Clifford Markle served with the Yankee Division.
He was gassed, captured, and became a prisoner of war. He later wrote and published a book, "A Yankee Prisoner in Hunland," detailing his experiences, with a forward by former President William Howard Taft.
Mr. Markle was also awarded the Purple Heart.
The presentation will describe how World War I saw the tremendous technological advance of weaponry, including the machine gun, the first combat use of aviation, the submarine, and the use of poisonous gas.
Yet for all these new weapons, and in part because of some, the war settled into the mud of trench warfare.
With little chance of advance, opposing armies faced each other for months at a time in restricted spaces often stripped bare of any life other than the troops.
Mr. Markle was raised in Brookfield, and graduated from the University of Connecticut with a degree in civil engineering.
Carrying on the family tradition of military service, he served as a pilot in the United States Air Force before establishing a career as a highway engineer with the Federal Highway Administration.
All Newtown Historical Society programs are free and open to the public.
Refreshments will be served following the program.
The society notes that the change to the afternoon time will accommodate those who prefer to drive in daylight.

- PROFESSOR | Psychiatry
- PROFESSOR | Neuroscience
Research Topics:Behavior, Brain, Brain Imaging, Epigenetics, Gene Expressions, Gene Regulation, Hormones, Lymphocytes, MRI, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Memory, Molecular Biology, Molecular Epidemiology, Neurobiology, Positron Emission Tomography, Translation
Rachel Yehuda, PhD, Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience, is the Director of the Traumatic Stress Studies Division at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine which includes the PTSD clinical research program and the Neurochemistry and Neuroendocrinology laboratory at the James J. Peters Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Dr. Yehuda is a recognized leader in the field of traumatic stress studies. She has authored more than 250 published papers, chapters, and books in the field of traumatic stress and the neurobiology of PTSD. Her current interests include the study of risk and resilience factors, psychological and biological predictors of treatment response in PTSD, genetic and epigenetic studies of PTSD and the intergenerational transmission of trauma and PTSD. She has an active federally-funded clinical and research program that welcomes local and international students and clinicians.
Dr. Yehuda's research on cortisol and brain function has revolutionized the understanding and treatment of PTSD worldwide and has been awarded the renowned Max Planck Institute for Psychiatry (Munich, Germany) 2004 Guest Professorship. The appointment signifies a special recognition of the outstanding research she has been performing in the field of neuroscience in the context of studies on causality of psychiatric disorders over the years.
Dr. Yehuda received her PhD in Psychology and Neurochemistry and her MS in Biological Psychology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and completed her postdoctoral training in Biological Psychiatry in the Psychiatry Department at Yale Medical School.
Multi-Disciplinary Training AreaNeuroscience [NEU]
Many of our programs are funded by national agencies such as the National Institute of Mental Health, Department of Defense, and the Department of Veterans Affairs. Our programs are designed to gain a better scientific understanding of the biology of stress reactions, and how to treat them better. Through this funded research we have been able to gain a better understanding of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and stress responses.
Stress Response
When confronted with extreme stress, the body initiates many chemical reactions to facilitate a quick escape from stress. The amygdala is the brain region that alerts the body to danger and activates hormonal systems. Activation of the hormones noradrenaline and adrenaline results in accelerated breathing, pulse, and heart rate, and increased release of energy to muscles and other organs, which literally helps people run faster from stress or mobilize a response that requires coping with the stressor head-on. Once the immediate danger has passed, other hormones, particularly the hormone cortisol, help terminate stress-activated reactions. Usually, the more stress there is, the more cortisol is needed to contain the stress response. Our work has demonstrated that trauma survivors with PTSD have higher levels of noradrenaline1,2 and lower levels of the hormone cortisol.3,4,5

Little Turtles?
Hello. My mom just brought home two little turtles each for both me and my sister. She got them off of Canal Street in NY, and I believe they are illegal here in New Jersey, lol. Anyway, I was trying to do some research, and I think they are Red Eared Sliders. They are about an inch and a half. (I know they will get bigger, and I all ready have a 20, and then a 30 gallon tank I can transfer them too as they grow. Ill probobly get a kiddy pool for them eventually.)
I went for two trips yesterday to two different pet stores and bought a bunch of stuff. A got a ten gallon tank along with a filter that says it works up to a ten gallon. A got a little floating dock with suction cups that sticks to the walls of the tank, and it takes up maybe 1/3 of the top of the tank. The rest is water. I had to raise the water quite high so the filter would work, so theres a lot of water in it.
I put a few fish in there along with two dwarfy frogs and a few fake plants and a few rocks. It has a clear bottom, I didnt use any rocks because I heard the frogs tend to ingest them.
I am working on a submergible(sp) heater, which hopefully I am getting today. I am basically out of money (Im only 15 years old), but is there anything else that I need desperately? I dont have a tank lid yet, because our pet stores are stupid and dont carry many, so I dont know how I'd get a heat light or something.
Also, a question. Even with the filter on, after only a day the water is pretty clouded. Is it just because of the food or something, and will the filter clean it out in a bit? Also, the turtles arent eating yet...are they just stressed out, and will they eat soon?
How commendable that you're trying to do right by these turtles!
You needn't have bought the 10 gal and should have put them immediately into one of your larger tanks.
The water is cloudy because there are way too many creatures in the tank. I would put them in the bigger tank now.
I had 4 red eared sliders for about 16 years. They need a large variety of different foods and many of them bought at the size of yours do not survive due to improper diet.
Please go to the following forum. It's all about turtles and there are many experienced people there who can answer all your questions!
I bought the ten gallon because my other two have many things in them right now. My twenty gallon has a ton of feeder fish in it, because I felt bad and didnt want them to get eaten, so I bought a bunch to give them a home. lol
My 30 gallon is being used for my assortment of frogs and newts, and Im redoing the whole thing right now, and trying to find the Water's Edge Kit, as I have in my other post here.
As for the new turtle tank, I moved the frogs and all the fish except for two goldfish, and I bought a snail and one of the sucker fish and threw them in there, because I heard they help to clean the algae off the tank. I also got the heater and hooked it up to about 78* Is that the right temperature?
If you have goldfish in the tank with these tiny turtles, they will starve to death, since the fish will eat everything. The turtles need to be in a tank by themselves at this size.
Did they come from a pet store? If so, it's illegal to sell turtles that size since most of them will not survive.
Go to the turtle forum I linked, and you can also read about proper care of these animals here:
Well the turtles are still showing absolutely no interest in the food at the moment. I have the turtle pellets Im giving them, do you think they would be more interested in eating something else right now? The goldfish are no problem, I want to keep the water as clean as possible, so I have a seperate container to feed them in, but they still arent eating anything.
My mom picked them up illegally off canal street in NY.
An update:
I finally got most of the things up. I completely redid my 30 gallon for my fish, my 20 gallon was cleaned, and the turtles tank's heater is working, along with an air pump and a filter. Maybe I can get some pics of stuff up later.
Sliders are wonderful turtles. I had a pair for about 12 years. They used to hiss at my father when he came into my room. Sliders will grow to their environment (i.e. bigger the tank bigger the turtle). I started mine off in a 10 gal, then moved to a 20 gal, then to a 70 gal. The turtles started off the size of a quarter and reached a final shell length of 9 inches. You need to stay on top of the cleaning (more so than with fish) as things will get stinky very fast. I was running a couple of large fluval cannister filtration units in the 70 gal and still had to do a good cleaning about once every 6 weeks.
Word of caution about leaving fish in with them -- the fish will soon be food when the turtles get larger. As a treat for my pair I used to get a couple of feeder gold fish and toss them in the tank. One gulp per turtle and the GF's were gone.
If they are not eating the turtle pellets, try a bit a raw beef, cut into very tiny pieces (about the size of the pellets). Clean out whatever they don't eat after 5 mins.
Best of luck.
Update: They still arent eating, and with my luck, I asked my mom for raw beef, 5 minutes after she got finished cooking it. -sigh- Im trying to get some though. I dont think my sister's have eaten either.
Are you feeding a sinking or a floating pellet? I found that mine liked the floating over the sinking. Another thought: small amout of canned dog or cat food (formed into very small pellets) may get them eating.
You can buy actual turtle food at the pet store.
It is large cubes of semisoft food.
My boyfriend kept sliders for a long time, and he said
they really relished cooked chicken!
Perhaps try that!
Im glad you are aware of how big sliders get,
as most people buy them under the assumption that
these tiny turtles stay small, not knowing they can get like
12+ inches across on the shell!
Dont worry about them being Illegal, every pet store in north america
pretty much sells them. I actually make a point of asking
the employees in Pet Stores if they are aware selling Red Ear Sliders
is illegal and can carry upwards of a 150,000 dollar fine! They usually look shocked and amazed and no, were not aware at all!
So it is quite obvious that despite the illegalness of these critters, that the fish and wildlife administrations are not checking fish stores for them.
I used to feed my turtles some veggies (shredded carrots, dark greens, etc.). They loved them. I had mine for 15 years in 100 g tank. They will also eat meats like chicken and beef but make sure it's really cooked.

Montserrat is an island in the Caribbean, southeast of Puerto Rico. A former popular resort, it's recovering from a hurricane and volcanic activity during the 1980s and 1990s. It is an overseas territory of the United Kingdom.
Other destinations[edit]
Once a popular get-away destination (especially after Beatles producer George Martin opened a studio here), Montserrat has been hit hard by the four elements, both from without and from within. First the wind and waves of hurricane Hugo swept through in 1989, damaging 90% of the island's structures. Then the earth and fire welled up in 1995, with the volcano of Soufriere Hills forcing the long-term evacuation of two thirds of the island's population, and catastrophically closing the airports and seaports in June 1997. The capital of Plymouth was covered by 40 feet of ash, and much of the southern end of the island is now uninhabitable.
Government offices have since been set up in Brades on the northwest shore of the island, out of harm's way. Much of the island's population has returned, with estimates ranging from 4,700 to 9,500, compared to the pre-Hugo/Soufriere high of over 12,000.
Temperatures year-around average between 76-88°F (24-32°C), with constant cooling breezes. Rainfall is a little more common from July to November.
Montserrat is small, but getting larger. The erupting volcano is gradually extending the southern end of the island.
Montserrat was 11 miles long and 7 miles wide with a land mass of approximately 39 square miles before the 1995 eruption. Since then, the island is slightly larger due to deposits of ash from pyroclastic flows.
Get in[edit]
Proof of citizenship is required. United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and CARICOM citizens may present a driver's license or other government photo ID; all others require passports. You can find a list of countries requiring visas here [4]. You can apply for a visa on the same website.
Several tour operators in Antigua offer day excursions to Montserrat, including observation of the Soufriere Hills volcano. Charter helicopters from Antigua offer another way to view the volcano.
By air[edit]
Fly Montserrat offers multiple daily flights out of Antigua into the John A. Osborne Airport (IATA: MNI). Prices as of Nov 2011 were approx USD200 round trip, including all taxes. Note that the planes are twin engine turbo props that hold a maximum of six people, with limited luggage space. The flight is approx 20 minutes total, with amazing views or Antigua, Montserrat, and other islands off in the distance.
By boat[edit]
The primary transportation harbour is Little Bay, near the de facto capital of Brades. As of November, 2011, regular ferry service from Antigua continues. [5] Service is not available every day, so checking the schedule in advance is advised.
Get around[edit]
Montserrat has one main road that winds along the coast on the east and west sides of the island. Cars can be rented from any of a number of agencies. Traffic is mild (there are no traffic lights to bother with), but be warned that there are only two gas/petrol stations on the island. In November 2011, the going rate for a 4-door Suzuki Vitara (residents would call it a Jeep) was approx 250 US dollars per week.
A temporary Montserrat driver's license is required to drive on the island. Typically all that is required is USD20 or XCD50, a completed form, and presentation of your home country/territory license. Licenses are available at the police station in Brades or Salem.
Bicycle rentals are also available.
Taxis and minibuses run mostly during the day.
Hitch-hiking, during the day and early evening is safe - just point your finger in the direction you are going.
Walking, while safe and possible to all points, is quite an arduous task, as the roads traverse very steep hills. Locals tend to walk in a local village or housing area, but find other transport from village to village.
The people of Montserrat all speak English, albeit with a charming (Caribbean sounding) local accent. One may also hear Montserrat Dialect , a form of broken English spoken by most locals.
See[edit][add listing]
The volcano! An observation area on Jack Boy Hill on the eastern side gives a view of the ash flows covering the old airport. Huge boulders may sometimes be seen, crashing down the slope in a cloud of dust. The Montserrat Volcano Observatory on the south-west side has an observation deck.[6] Tours into the exclusion zone may be possible, depending on the volcano risk level; you will pass through a landscape of abandoned homes and fields, see the volcano close-up, and gaze down at the old capital of Plymouth, now buried in ash and mud. Currently (Nov 2011) no one other than government officials and scientists are permitted into what little remains of Plymouth.
Do[edit][add listing]
Montserrat is blessed with natural beauty. On land there are lush tropical forests with trails of varying difficulty. Many can be enjoyed on your own, however, some require a guide to make the path clear. Stop by the National Trust our Tourist Information for a map (charge of XCD10 currently).
One of the special things about Montserrat are the quiet beaches. You most often have them to yourself but check out each one, they are all different.
For those who love the sea, the island is surrounded by reefs. Snorkeling and scuba diving can be enjoyed from shore or by boat.
To explore the reef on scuba or with a guided snorkel tour contact Montserrat Island Dive Centre in Little Bay. They also offer a host whole host of PADI courses in scuba diving, from the very first Discover Scuba Dive underwater experience to Professional Divemaster internships and lots in between. They also conduct a monthly Dive Against Debris and Beach Clean-Up .
Scuba diving is also available at nearby Redonda, an uninhabited island 15 miles to the west of Montserrat. There you will find six-foot barrel sponges, Eagle Rays, Stingrays, and the occasional nurse shark.
Check with "Scuba Montserrat" for diving, snorkelling, daily diving, full courses, clear bottom kayaks, volcano boat tours and equipment.
For other boat tours or land excursions,stop by the Tourist Board to get the numbers for one of the local guides.
Visitors should also check out the Montserrat Volcano Observatory (MVO)[7]for information on the Soufriere Hills Volcano. The MVO Visitors Centre is open to the public Monday through Thursdays and includes a documentary describing the history and impact of the eruption (shown at quarter past the hour every hour between 10:15 - 3:15), informative poster displays, interactive kiosks, and a display of artifacts. There is also a fabulous view of the volcano.
Unfortunately, there's no breakwater at Little Bay yet (where the scuba and tour boats leave from), so if there's a northerly wind, scuba and boat tours may be canceled for a day or two until the weather changes, and the boats can get out. Be prepared to go hiking, sightseeing, or just relaxing by the pool or at the beach instead while waiting for the seas to calm enough for the boats to be able to leave Little Bay.
Buy[edit][add listing]
There are currently two ATMs on the island, one at the Royal Bank of Canada, and one at the Bank of Montserrat.
Eat[edit][add listing]
John Ponteens Sunday BBQ Little Bay. DD Bar Friday night in Hope by the MVO. Chicken Wilsons in Salem. Roti for lunch at the Attic. Gourmet Gardens in Olveston. Olveston House (Sir George Martin's private residence) is open seven days a week. Tina's, La Colage and Emerald Rose for great local lunches. Upscale Ziggys Restaurant for dinner only by reservation. The Royal Palm Club typically shows movies with dinner on Tuesday evenings.
Most establishments are casual. Some bars on the beach are okay with folks walking right in sand and all.
Few places are open at night for dinner, and most of those that are require reservations (not because they're fancy or expensive, but because business is slower and they want to ensure they have fresh food available.)
Most meal choices consist of chicken or seafood, with most having a red meat option though the type of meat various greatly.
Drink[edit][add listing]
Bars include: Gary Moore's Wide Awake Bar, Salem; Flaming El Paso, St Peter; Green Monkey Bar, Little Bay; Dessert Storm, Salem; Misers in Salem; Jaxxons, St John.
Sleep[edit][add listing]
Visiting the island is a bargain compared to pre-eruption Montserrat and many of its less geologically active neighbours, as the island is anxious to re-establish its tourism industry. The tourism board has private villas for as little as USD700/week.
Keep in mind that shops are generally 'expensive' compared to US and European standards.
Stay safe[edit]
The island is still vulnerable to hurricanes during the season from June to November.
Volcanic eruptions still pose some danger, though volcanic activity has been primarily on the level of a nuisance in recent years. Travel to the Exclusion Zone on the south end of the island is generally not permitted, for safety reasons. The Montserrat Volcano Observatory publishes current risk assessments and exclusion zone limits.
Montserrat is generally a safe place. However in recent years, violent crime has increased. Assault is the most common form, with an annual rate of just over 10 assaults for every 1000 people. (This is still considered low by world standards. By comparison, Canada's rate is about 7 per 1000). General safety precautions, including such as not walking in an alleyway at night, are advised.
Stay healthy[edit]
No vaccinations are required to enter Montserrat unless coming from a country that has suffered a cholera, yellow fever, or small pox epidemic.
Internet Cafes[edit]

San Diego resident Susan Francia has won two gold medals at the World Rowing Championships that concluded today in Poznan, Poland.
Francia and Erin Cafaro of Modesto teamed Saturday to win the Women's Pair. The duo yesterday were members of the United States' winning eight.
Francia and Cafaro became the first rowers, men or women, to pick up two gold medals in the Rowing World Championships since 2001.
A native of Hungary, the 26-year-old Francia was raised in Pennsylvania and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2004, where she won All-America honors in rowing, with a degree in criminology and sociology.
She moved to San Diego after graduation to train at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Otay Mesa.
Francia was a member of the gold medal-winning United States eight in the 2008 Olympics in China. She also won gold medals in the eight in the 2007 and 2006 World Rowing Championships and the 2008 and 2007 World Cups.
Saturday's victory over the Romanian team was considered to be the toughest half of the Francia-Cafaro double. The Americans pulled ahead in the final 25 strokes after trailing three-quarters of the way into the 2,000-meter course.
"That was an awesome race," Francia told USRowing. "We talked about going out there and killing it, but staying cool. We knew it was going to be tight. That is what makes it exciting."
The Francia-Cafaro victory was the first ever by a U.S. team in the Women's Pairs at the World Championships.
The 6-foot-2 Francia, who is seeking employment in sports marketing, plans to remain in San Diego training for the 2012 Olympics.
In other rowing news, Joe Thaxton and Jason Perone of St. Augustine High rowed at the USRowing Men's Junior Development Camp in Pittsburgh, Pa., this summer after being part of the San Diego Rowing Club four that took a silver medal at the Junior Nationals in Oak Ridge, Tenn.
Iwamoto fourth
San Diego's Mitsuhiro Iwamoto finished fourth overall in the 2009 Blind Sailing National Championships sailed out of Newport, R.I.
Iwamoto and Glenn Bovian of Saugus, Mass. — with sighted guides Lyn Comfort and Peter Frisch, respectively — led after the first day of sailing in the Blind Division of the seventh annual Clagett Memorial Regatta for Sailors with Disabilities.
But after posting a 3-3-1-1 series on the opening day, the Iwamoto-Bovian team missed third by four points in the final standings of the event after taking both a disqualified and a did-not-finish during the second day. Iwamoto-Bovian finished with seven top-four finishes in the 11-race series.
Record falls quickly
Seventeen-year-old Californian Zac Sutherland held the record for being the youngest person to sail single-handed around the world for less than a month.
England's Mike Perham, who at 17 years and 164 days is 66 days younger than Sutherland, completed his voyage on his 50-foot boat Saturday.
Perham had corporate sponsors and a race-worthy boat while Sutherland sailed the family's Islander 36.
At the age of 14, Perham became the youngest person ever to sail solo across the Atlantic Ocean.
San Diegans dominate
Co-owners Chuck Driscoll and Tom Hurlburt of San Diego YC skippered Triple Play to victory in the inaugural Southern California J-105 Championships off Long Beach last weekend.
Triple Play had a 1-4-1-4-3 series in the 19-boat fleet to win the title by five points. Bennet Greenwald's Perseverance from SDYC was third with a 7-2-3-2-5 series and Doug and Pam Werner's Javelin from SDYC was fifth with a 3-5-7-1-11 series.
MBYC sweep
Two weeks ago the club for Smythe Cup champion Kevin Laube and third-place Olin Paine was misidentified.
Laube and Paine are from Mission Bay YC, as are Sears Cup champions Scott and Evan Hoffmann and Colleen Hackett. The Smythe and Sears cups are USSailing's top junior championships.

Big fat "oops" last night. I made what is possibly my best chicken dish ever (other than my roasted bird, which is a recipe for another day) and did not photograph the process. I guess I should be thankful that I took notes, so I can still share it with you. This is easy enough to make without illustration, I promise.
This is very quick, inexpensive, and easy to make, and it's one of those one pot dinners, so easy cleanup too. I was trying to decide what to make for dinner at the last minute (welcome to my world), and this recipe came out of an effort to use what I had in the house, the object being to make something a bit more interesting than the usual grilled breast. The resulting dish is a whole meal in itself.
Oh, and Ms. Thirty-Minute Rachel Ray? BITE ME! Even serving this with a salad will have dinner on the table in under 30 minutes without an army of assistants pre-washing everything or buying expensive pre-cleaned and -cut broccoli florets. And the end result is very impressive looking. But you can't know that. Because I didn't take any pictures.
Chicken 2345
Cast of Characters:
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed through a press
- A few tablespoons of olive oil
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- The leaves off of 4-5 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 1 dash peperoncino (dry hot pepper flakes)
- Fresh ground black pepper (a few grinds)
- 1 tablespoon "Nantucket Off-Shore" Mt. Olympus Rub*
- 1/2 can of quartered artichoke hearts, well rinsed, sliced lengthwise to become 8ths
- 4 tomatoes out of a can of S. Marzano tomatoes
- 2 handfuls of broccoli spears (heads and stems, 2-3 inches total length)
- 3 cups cooked barley (I use Quaker Quick Barley, cooks in 10 min)
*Nantucket Off-Shore Rub: I get this at my local Hannaford's supermarket, it is just a blend of herbs, mostly rosemary and lavender, with dried (but not powdered, never powdered, OK?) garlic. It has a decidedly Mediterranean smell to it. It contains no salt. Use any salt-free herby blend or just add your own rosemary and lavender if you can and amp up the garlic by a few cloves. DO NOT ADD OREGANO or any rub with the words "Italian" in it. It will totally spoil the effect here, trust me.
Rinse the breasts, remove anything you don't like, including any fat, and give each breast a few pokes with a fork on each side so that the marinade penetrates. If not using barley made previously (as I did last night), start boiling the water for the quick barley and prepare per box instructions.
Meanwhile, whisk the marinade ingredients together in a bowl large enough to accommodate the chicken and the artichokes. Add the chicken, turning to coat with the marinade and let sit (not in the fridge) for about 10 minutes turning occasionally. Then add the artichokes to the bowl, mix them in and let sit another 5-10 minutes or so.
In a deep skillet, (hot hot), add the breasts to the pan, leaving the artichokes behind in the bowl with the marinade, and sear the meat on both sides on high heat. When just nicely browned on both sides, turn the heat down to medium, toss in the rest of the marinade with the artichokes and cover the pot. Let that cook a few minutes, then add the canned tomato draping one over each piece of meat. Cover again and let the chicken cook through.
Just before the chicken is done**, toss the broccoli in on top of the pan contents, cover, let cook another 2 or 3 minutes, until the broccoli is just tender, and then serve the chicken over the cooked barley (if the barley was made in advance, you will want to reheat it first) pouring the pan juices and whatever solids over the top of the whole thing.
**I've warned you before, my recipes are not for beginners. I have no idea how long the chicken takes (10 – 15 min?), I just know when it's done.
This dish turned out so well, that even though I was full to bursting, I had to get out some bread to sop up every bit of juice from my plate. And then, as I was cleaning up afterwards, I couldn't stop myself form picking at the leftovers. I'll definitely make this again. Meanwhile, I'm having the leftovers tonight, and because I really really really want you to see it, even if it is a day old and reheated, here it is:
Yeah, the broccoli (the grey stuff on the right) doesn't look quite as appetizing as it did last night, and its day-two texture did leave something to be desired. But it tasted great. Everything was still delicious, reheated in the oven in its juices and served over barley again. Yum.
Meal and budget suggestions:
You can add a salad and a nice crusty whole grain bread to round out the meal, but between the broccoli and the barley (which is really filling) you really shouldn't need to. You could stretch the budget a little by using thighs instead of breasts. My budget busting tip for those of you like me who don't like dark meat: I get my breasts when they go on sale about 6 times a year at my local supermarket, I buy 20-25 lbs at a time, and then freeze them. I never pay more than $1.90/lb. Approximate cost of this meal for 4? About $2.29 per person (excluding marinade ingredients, which for me are pantry staples). I dare you to beat that!

The Northwest Missouri State baseball team combined for 22 hits and 13 runs in two games to defeat Washburn in both games of a double-header Thursday winning 5-1 in game one and 8-3 in game two.
Austin Warren picked up his first win of the season as he went 5.2 innings giving up five hits, no walks and one earned run. Warren faced 21 batters and collected four strikeouts.
Two Bearcats crossed home plate in the first two innings to put Head Coach Darin Loe's team up early. Washburn picked up their lone run of the game in the bottom of the fourth to make the game 2-1.
Northwest did the majority of their damage in the top of the seventh inning starting with JJ Baccari who hit a sac fly to score Brandon Huske. Eric Swain followed Baccari with a double down the right field line scoring Cam Bedard to move the score to 4-1. Tyler Durant knocked in the final run with a double to left field.
Nathanial Horton picked up his second save of the season in the 5-1 victory in game one.
The bats picked up where they left off in game two scoring in the first four innings of the nine inning affair.
Huske scored in the first inning on a wild pitch from the WU pitcher. Charlie Krueger scored on a double by Derek Meyer in the second inning. Eric Swain singled in Huske in the third, but was thrown out trying to beat out a double.
The Bearcats added two runs in the top of the fourth and two more in the six to go up 7-2. Cam Bedard scored the team's final run in the seventh inning after he reached on an error, stole second and was knocked in by Durant on a sac fly.
Chase Anderson moves to 1-2 on the season as he went a solid seven innings for the Bearcats striking out two and giving up only four hits and two earned runs.
Northwest improves to 4-12 on the season and 4-8 in MIAA play. The Bearcats plan to host Central Missouri Saturday for a double-header starting at noon and single nine inning game Sunday with first pitched scheduled for 1 p.m. Central Missouri is ranked No. 2 in the latest NCBWA poll.

WASHINGTON — In a swift and simple ceremony at the White House, President Obama was sworn in for a second term Sunday and embarked on another four years leading a nation hobbled by a weak economy and gripped by political division.
With his family at his side and his hand on his wife's family Bible, the 44th president began the new term on an understated note, repeating the oath of office in a private ceremony the day before a more lavish, public reenactment.
The intimate event was an adherence to tradition prompted by a quirk of the calendar. Under the Constitution, a president's term ends at noon Jan. 20. When that date falls on a Sunday, presidents have shifted the public ceremony a day and opted for a swearing-in at the White House.
Obama stood in the Blue Room, an elegant oval parlor, next to First Lady Michelle Obama and their daughters, Sasha and Malia. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. administered the 35-word oath more smoothly than he did four years ago when he flubbed the phrasing. Other relatives watched but remained out of view of the television cameras. The entire event took about a minute.

VALLES CALDERA NATIONAL PRESERVE, N.M. (AP) — Visitors line the highway, most peering through binoculars, as they strain to get a better look at dozens of brown specks in the distance.
The specks — members of Valles Caldera National Preserve's infamous elk herd — are munching in green pastures that stretch for miles. They are surrounded by mountain peaks blanketed with ponderosa pine, spruce and fir trees.
The expansive preserve is a sight to behold, but caretakers say Valles Caldera's forests, grasslands and wetlands are not as healthy as they look. Nearly a decade of research has provided them with statistics to say so, and now they have developed a 10-year plan to get the preserve back into shape by using everything from prescribed fire and thinning to weed control and wetland restoration.
The trust has created a special web page that allows the public to review the restoration and management plan and related documents. The public has until Sept. 29 to comment on the plan.
Marie Rodriguez, natural resources coordinator for the Valles Caldera Trust, which manages the preserve, considers it an understatement to say the area's ecosystems are not up to snuff.
"We use the term ecological departure," she said. "We have a lot of numbers to quantify it, but that's what it comes down to — they are just out of whack from where they should be."
Soon after the federal government bought the 89,000-acre former cattle ranch in 2000, the trust began taking inventory of its trees, insects, wildlife, roads, soils and streams.
The information shows nearly all of the preserve's forests — 95 percent — fall short of what scientists call a reference condition. That means the forests are in no shape to withstand attacks by insects, variations in climate or the ravages of fire.
The grasslands and riparian areas are in a little better shape, but they still need help, Rodriguez said.
"There are a lot of things coming in the future. We don't know what all of them are, but we know that a forest or grassland that resembles that historic, natural condition will be able to withstand a lot of variation, as it has for thousands of years," she said.
Eight years of research show Valles Caldera has moved farther from its natural state over the past century due to sheep and cattle grazing, wildfire suppression and clear-cut logging.
There are very few large trees left on the preserve. Rodriguez said some of the domes visible from the highway are covered in trees that are only 40 to 50 years old.
"Because they are dense, small, even-aged trees, they have that potential to all burn in a wildfire. We'd like to not have that happen. We'd like to open it up," she said.
The plan calls for mechanical thinning on about 20,000 acres over 10 years and prescribed fire on nearly 59,000 acres of forest and grassland over the same period.
About 1,000 miles of roads would be closed and rehabilitated as part of the plan, herbicides would be used to get rid of noxious weeds such as cheatgrass and musk thistle, and riparian areas would be restored by using willows and other plants to stabilize stream banks.
Officials are hopeful beavers will return to the area once the plants along the banks mature.
"We've inventoried over 50 historic beaver dams on the preserve so we know beaver were there," Rodriguez said. "Removing beaver from our streams is kind of like removing fire from the forests. They have an important role."
It's not clear how federal legislation to have the National Park Service take over management of Valles Caldera would impact the planning. But Rodriguez said the preserve's goals are consistent with federal policy when it comes to reintroducing fire to the landscape.
Regardless of what happens in Congress, preserve officials acknowledge it could take more than one generation to see Valles Caldera returned to its natural, more resilient state.
"My son is 20, so probably not in his lifetime," Rodriguez said, "but maybe his children will start to see forests with large and old trees ... and the return of species like northern goshawk, the New Mexico meadow jumping mouse and perhaps even Rio Grande cutthroat trout."

Letra de la canción
No words could ever describe the feeling.
The feeling of holding onto your ghost.
But if there's just one more thing I could as of you.
Just one more request.
Please don't ever forget me. No, don't you ever forget.
Everyday it's getting harder just to turn the page.
I keep replaying and reciting those mistakes you made.
And I'm trying to take my own advice.
That things will change. That things will change.
But whom am I kidding? I'm so afraid.
That things will change. That things will change.
I want you to know how it feels to be in love with
the ghost that bears your name.
Know that my love was not in vain.
But if there's one regret we can share, what shall we name him?
What shall we name our dead son? (x4)

What retailers can learn from a microwave oven
In Jon Stine's blog recently " In Between the Numbers: Less than a Third, and Less than Half." He wrote that complexity is an issue with technology and Bob Anderson, former CTO at Best Buy, points us to the "popcorn" button on the microwave as a perfect guide for consumer-facing technology. No questions. Immediate understanding of value. One push and sixty seconds equals hot buttery-salted goodness..
That got me thinking that we can extend the analogy of the microwave oven toretailers. The fact is successful retailers can learn a lot from a microwave oven 🙂
There are five areas that successful retailers operates like a microwave oven. Speed, Convenience, Security, Cost Effectiveness and Set/Meeting Expectations.
1. Speed
Microwave ovens became popular because you can heat up food faster than in an oven or stovetop. Successful retailers operate with speed in mind, from speed of checkout, speed of its supply chain to get merchandise from supply chain to the store shelf and speed of getting information from store to headquarters to facilitate an efficient operation.
2. Convenience
Microwave ovens is about convenience, you don't need a lot of instructions with a microwave oven to heat up a cup of water or lunch. It is easy to operate and it is generally ubiquitous in most homes and office break rooms. Retailers who are successful are convenient for shoppers. Accessible locations allows shoppers to finish their shopping with minimum travel time. Proper assortment and availability of products drives customer loyalty and more sales for retailers.
3. Security
Inside each microwave is a magnetron that generates the energy to heat up the content. There is a series of shielding and security features designed to protect the operator and is quite an engineering accomplishment. Most people don't realize the level of security that is involved. For a retailer security is very important since it involves consumer and the retailers brand. From Payment Card Industry compliance to protect credit card data to physical security of the store premise and loss prevention, retailers need to provide secure experience without the consumers being excessively inconvenienced in their shopping experience
4. Cost Effectiveness
Microwave ovens became popular to the point of being a standard appliance in almost every apartment and dorm room in United States. Next to the bed, students heading to college now almost always include a small microwave oven. Successful retailers are cost effective for their customers who are looking for value, and operate cost effectively in terms of managing labor and cost of goods sold.
5. Set and Meet Expectations
Microwave ovens operate with a few buttons and a countdown timer that tells you how much time you are expected to wait. Successful retailers sets and meets (and aim to exceed) customer expectations in terms of service, price and merchandise . You expect properly popped popcorn when you use the Popcorn button, retailers need to meet their brand expectations when connecting with shoppers across any channels.
I hope you found this blog education and entertaining J Let me know what you think of my analogy with a comment.

how Tadya can sell them for $1.25
Hi John,I see . It's ok with leds . We did pulse testing on such leds.But it will increase the decay of light a little bit . You can try an samples .
Frequency is 1.0hz .1 time per second. We tested 3 monthes . And if leds ok . then we use the chips.
Hi John,No . 30mA is the max current .150mA will burn the leds.If need 150mA . You should use 0.5W
So pulses at a frequency of 100Hz or more actually appear brighter to the eye than a continuous light of the same average intensity.
So running the LED for half the time only loses a quarter of the perceived brightness, and you could go down to 1:7 ratio before losing half the perceived brightness.
Why not use thirteen TPIC6B95s as the column drivers and eight P-channel mosfets as the row drivers?
I have used SPI and each driven chip needs a chip select input ? So if I need 24 chip selects I could do that with 3 CD4017s and one clock pin of the arduino ?
If the receiver detects an interrupt ( I am hoping it is only when a message arrives ) it will presumably disrupt the display refresh?
I am also trying to get my head round the array to store the data in. It used to be a binary byte for the 7 seg , which I just called up for shifting out the data for each digit.Now I must send out the right byte pattern for the top row of the number for each digit, latch it in, then load the second row, and so on ?
I am going to write a sketch to run this one display to show a couple of letters, using shiftout for now, if anyone has some pointers I will appreciate it .
You don't need 24 chip selects, you can daisy=chain the TPICs from the SPI pins just like you do with ShiftOut. So one CS pin for all the TPICs.
Or, if you can afford to wait a few microseconds before servicing the interrupt (which depends on whether the receiver can buffer incoming data), then you can disable interrupts while you send data to the TPICs.
Use an array with 8 bytes per 8x8 display, one byte for each row. Shift out the bytes for the rows you want to update.
Can I send out 24 bytes in one go while the CS is low, and then raise it to latch the data?

When Anders contacted me, he included some notices that Adolf had placed in a Norwegian newspaper in 1887 regarding the deaths of his wife Dorette and infant Aagot Dorette in June and July of that year. I never knew about Aagot! I knew that Dorette died in 1887 but did not know about the birth of the daughter Aagot. While I have not found an exact translation for Aagot I am guessing it may be the equivalent of Agatha. It doesn't really matter though, what is important is that I have a new Great-Aunt and I know where she and her mother are buried.
The goodies that Anders included with his e-mail included the history of Christ Cemetery in Oslo where Dorette and Aagot are buried. I have found the burial records for Dorette and Aagot at the Norwegian Digital Archives and will attempt to determine Dorette's cause of death from there. It is interesting that it appears that Aagot was not christened but there is a burial record for her. Maybe she was so ill from birth that she was not predicted to survive.
Anders found my blog while searching for information on his Great-grandfather and has provided me with some important information about Adolf Hansen the Norwegian Composer. The neat thing about blogging is that it is available where you are. Without the internet I would not have been able to go as far as I have in my research. Long live technology!

News & Events Proof Testimonials
What made you decide to go to Rochelle Community Hospital?
I practiced as a surgeon at RCH and retired after 30 years. When it came time for my knee replacement, I knew I wanted to have my surgery at RCH. They offered state-of-the-art technology and have surgeons from Midwest Orthopaedic Institute (MOI) in Sycamore operating there now too. Dr. Rajeev Jain was part of this group and after meeting with him I knew he was an excellent surgeon with the bedside manners to match. Staying in town also made it easier for my family and friends to visit me in the hospital.
What type of technology did they use for your knee replacement?
My right knee joint was replaced with the very newest technology, the Signature Biomet Knee. This state-of-the-art, MRI-based technology was custom made for my individual needs. It uses a three-dimensional guide and precise alignment of the new knee with my entire leg. I'm so thankful RCH provides such modern technology right at our doorsteps.
How fast were you up on your feet and moving again?
Twenty-four hours after surgery, I was up walking. Three days after surgery, I was admitted to a "swing bed" and received twice-a-day therapy and supportive care that helped me get ahead. A week later, I went home... without crutches or pain! Soon, I may be playing tennis even better than before!
What is a "swing bed"?
The "swing beds" are probably one of RCH's best-kept secrets. They are used when patients need short-term care after an illness or operation, but no longer require the full support of a hospital stay. This option worked well for me during that first week after surgery because I felt it would have been difficult to manage going up and down stairs and taking care of my personal needs, such as showering, on my own at home.
What was your experience with their Physical Therapy and Rehab services?
Words cannot express the care rendered to me by the entire staff at RCH. They knew what they were doing, pushed when I needed pushing and pulled back when necessary. Their innovations and customized cared went a long way in helping me recover so fast from the operation.
How did your experience at RCH differ from what you might have had at a larger hospital?
Because RCH is a smaller hospital, everybody knows what your needs are - from the pharmacist to the housekeeper to the patient care coordinator. Simply put, you receive more attention than you might at a bigger facility. Plus, the food is wonderful - straying from the bland tasteless fare many hospitals provide to resemble gourmet café quality.
We want to hear your story too!
Tell us how RCH has impacted your life and receive a FREE PROOF T-SHIRT! We'll also enter you in a drawing to win a six-month membership at the HealthWorks Fitness Center.... just for sharing your experience. Submit your story here!
In addition to focusing on the health of our patients, Rochelle Community Hospital also is committed to the health of our community. Over the past year, we have reaffirmed this dedication in many ways:
- Absorbed $1.5 million to care for patients who could not pay in 2013.
- Delivered $4.7 million in services that were not fully reimbursed by government programs.
- Maintained position as one of the leading employers in Rochelle, with 248 employees and counting.

Nissan Sentra 1982, Air Filter by Hastings®. Clean air is critical to the performance of your engine, so don't trust just any filter. Hastings filters are tested according to SAE J726 test procedures, where they meet or exceed the exacting requirements of engine and equipment manufacturers.
|Outlet Diameter: 9.03"
|Inlet Diameter: 6.75"
|Length: 1.97"
- Filters out dirt and dust in the air preventing them from entering the engine
- Heavy duty construction for long service life
- Designed to meet or exceed OE standards and specifications
- Tested according to SAE J726 test procedures, the industry standard for air filtration
Proper air filtration is important because even a small amount of dirt can cause a tremendous amount of engine damage. The air filter's purpose is to filter out dirt and other foreign particles in the air, preventing them from entering the air intake system and possibly damaging the engine. The air filter should be changed on a regular basis to ensure proper and long-lasting engine operation. When it comes to replacement, you can't do better than a Hastings air filter. All Hastings filters are designed and manufactured to specifications mandated by engine and equipment manufacturers. Then, to make sure these filters meet those standards, they're tested according to SAE J726 test procedures, the industry standard for air filtration. Whereas most manufacturers specify a minimal initial efficiency for air filters of at least 98.5%, most Hastings filters have minimum initial efficiencies approaching 99%. And as dirt particles accumulate in the Hastings filter media, they increase the efficiency of the filter, making it work better during its useful life.
This air filter is manufactured using both PermaPleat and Beading processes to separate and stabilize the pleated media. PermaPleat is an embossing process that forms dividers between pleats to prevent bunching and ensure uniform air flow. To lock the pleat tips in place and prevent movement, the manufacturer uses beading, which means applying a continuous bead of adhesive around the circumference of a filter's metal wrap. A Hastings air filter will supply your engine with the protection it needs, with higher contaminant removal efficiency and contaminant holding capacity than comparable aftermarket filters.
Since 1944, Hastings® Premium Filters has been selling premium automotive and commercial filters for passenger cars, over-the-road commercial vehicles, off-road construction, mining and logging equipment, as well as industrial, agricultural, and marine applications. In 1995, Hastings Premium Filters became part of the CLARCOR group, and that enabled the company to share in the latest technologies and new ideas in filtration with other companies of the corporation creating innovative filter solutions. Today the company designs and manufactures over 4,800 high-performance products that meet or even exceed OE requirements.
