I have stopped folks over the years speeding telling me they were being chased. I went ahead and signed them up.
Christmas, Thanksgiving and birthdays are just another work day. Think it over as Klammy advised
Klammy is correct as he will meet lots of folks. The ladies probably won't throw themselves at him until he is a police officer working the bricks....

Uncledennis, You hit the nail on the head; it's been a mess. I am so glad you are so far away from all of that. Take care and be safe !! Bob P.
Dennis, Hadn't heard about the photo you mentioned. Gang signs ?? Really ?? Destroyed the credibility of the H.P., if you ask me. I saw on the news there may be a third autopsy; cripes, there won't be anything left to bury !! Seems to me the powers that be are willing to sacrifice the officer in order to placate the community. Whatever happened to "Innocent until proven guilty" ?? Take care & be safe !! Bob P.

Wes Welker really found a home in New England as the go to guy for Tom Brady. He has put up phenomenal numbers as a slot receiver in a prolific offense. He has 9 years in the league, but didn't really take off until coming to New England from Miami.Since 2007 has posted 5 out of 6 seasons at 1,000 plus yards, his best performance coming in 2009 where he exceeded 1300 yards receiving. Even alongside Randy Moss, he managed to catch 112 balls for 1175 yards. Along with Brady, he is sure to be a first ballot HOFer.But 2012 has brought some controversy to one who has not only blown the doors off the competition, but also overcame major knee surgery, to resume, in stride, his prolific career. With his contract expiring, Welker hoped to ink an extension that would make him a Patriot until his mid 30s, letting him retire in the same place he left his indelible mark.That extension never happened, and the organization dubbed him their franchise player, actually increasing his salary for a sin...

Daryl Copeland charts the course for a new kind of diplomacy, one in tune with the demands of today's interconnected, technology driven world.
Eschewing platitudes and broadly rethinking issues of security and development, Copeland provides the tools needed to frame and manage issues ranging from climate change to pandemic disease to asymmetrical conflict and weapons of mass destruction. The essential keystone of his approach is the modern diplomat, able to nimbly engage with a plethora of new international actors and happier mixing with the population than mingling with colleagues inside embassy walls.
Through the lens of Guerrilla Diplomacy, Copeland offers both a call to action and an alternative approach to understanding contemporary international relations.

Hi everyone, new here. I tried to do a search on this, but I honestly don't remember enough details to get anywhere.
It had to be in the very early 1990's, I was at Toys-R-Us, back in the aisle where they kept the Batman figures. At the front of that aisle, I came across this astronaut action figure, built like any normal figure, except his face was an LCD screen, and you could push different buttons on his chest that would make the figure's face 'talk' and say various phrases (his facial features were made up graphically). I remember this was the only time I ever saw any figure from this line, but unfortunately, this toy was either too much or I had already made my selections, and I couldn't get him. So I hid him in the very back of the rack, hoping to return for him later, but I never did.
I've wondered for years what this figure was, and I've always regretted not getting him. He was obviously an older toy, left over from the late-80's I'd guess. Can anyone help? I'd love to look for it on Ebay.

Narrow your search
Years after Google first began raising concerns about the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the tech titan's efforts to get Congress to care might be bearing fruit.
The country files a friend-of-the-court brief asking the US to respect its sovereignty and not go over its head by seizing emails stored on Microsoft servers in Ireland.
Google says it's getting more requests for user data than ever before, while simultaneously pressuring the US government to change how it regulates electronic communications.
Microsoft had sought to prevent the Justice Department from obtaining emails in Ireland without first getting the country's consent.
New legislation is necessary to prevent discrimination and protect civil rights, says review panel commissioned by President Obama.
Tech companies and privacy advocates have dubbed February 11 a "worldwide day of activism" to speak out against the NSA's surveillance and mass data collection.
Requests from governments worldwide for user information have more than doubled since three years ago. Worse still, says Google, is what the US won't let us tell you.
Vagaries of federal surveillance law, enacted in 1968 and updated in 1986, favor lots of e-mail snooping over only a little.
The U.S. attorney general supports changes to existing e-mail and online storage snooping laws, which are currently under scrutiny in the House.
Democratic Sen. Mark Udall says the Justice Department should not allow FBI agents to peruse Americans' private communications without obtaining a search warrant from a judge.

Above: School Board Candidate Tom Gleeson (top, far left) waits to hear the results of Tuesday's election.
By Claire Walla
Coming as no surprise to the small crowd gathered in the Pierson Middle/High School gymnasium Tuesday, May 15, the Sag Harbor School District's proposed $34,182,256 million budget passed by a landslide, with 892 votes for the budget versus only 420 against.
Similarly, Proposition #2, which will allow the district to spend up to $575,000 for the purchase of six new buses, passed with a similar margin: 851 to 432.
"I'm very pleased the budget passed," District Superintendent Dr. John Gratto commented after the results were read. "And I'm pleased the bus proposition passed."
This year's election garnered 1,377 total votes, a drop of 264 from last year.
The 2012-2013 budget represents a spending increase of $956,172 over this year's operating budget. But, more importantly, is represents a tax-levy increase of only 1.94 percent, which means it successfully falls below the two-percent tax cap imposed by New York State for the first time this year.
The real nail-biter this year was the race for school board, which had three candidates vying for two open seats. In the end, incumbents Gregg Schiavoni and Walter Wilcoxen each managed to secure another three-years on the board, putting Schiavoni in his second term and Wilcoxen in his third.
"The vote on the board is a testament to the trust the community has in the job this board has done," Dr. Gratto noted.
When the votes had all been tallied, Schiavoni was the clear victor with 1,039 total votes. Wilcoxen came in second with 795 and Gleeson was a not-too-distant third with 576 votes.
Many in the gymnasium that night congratulated Gleeson on a hard-fought campaign.
"It's tough to beat the incumbents," Gleeson said after having walked over to congratulate Schiavoni on his win. (Wilcoxen had a work conflict and was unable to make it to the gymnasium before doors closed at 9 p.m.)
"It was a good learning experience," he added. "I just hope the board continues to improve education. The kids are what's most important."
With his youngest daughter — who stood by his side as results were read — graduating from Pierson this year, Gleeson said his loss wouldn't mean he would vanish from the district.
"I'll try to stay involved as much as possible," he declared.
In the wake of his win, Schiavoni — flanked by his two young sons — smiled as he talked about his plans for the upcoming year.
"What's next will be keeping track of IB [the International Baccalaureate program], making sure it's implemented correctly, and keeping track of the Pre-K program," he said. "Going forward, we just have to keep the ball rolling."
In an interview the day after the vote, Wilcoxen said he was excited to find he had been elected for a third term.
"We have a lot of challenges, like trying to understand how we can deal with each other more effectively [as a board]," he said. "That seems to be number one on the list."
But, he added that supporting IB and continuing to find ways to make the school's finances more transparent will be key issues in the coming year.
After congratulating candidates, both board members Theresa Samot and Chris Tice said they were very pleased to hear the election results for the budget this year.
"The margin the vote passed by was really great," Samot exclaimed, as Tice noted it was nearly 2:1. "The administration put a lot of hard work into the budget."
Board member Sandi Kruel concurred with this sentiment, and applauded voters for passing Proposition #2.
And to her fellow board members about to begin their new three-year terms, she added, "Congratulations."

City Police Among Country's Best Prepared to Respond to Cardiac Emergencies
CINCINNATI, OH, May 17, 2005 – The Belmont, CA Police Department recently received lifesaving AED (Automated External Defibrillator) technology as part of the Cintas Reviver Provider AED Police Grant Program. AEDs are sophisticated computer-driven medical devices that deliver an electric shock through the chest wall to the heart. The processors in the device are programmed to judge whether defibrillation is needed and prompt the aid-giver when to administer a lifesaving shock.
Belmont Mayor Dave Warden, Chief Donald Mattei, and Sergeant Pat Halleran accepted the lifesaving gift at a special ceremony held May 17th at Belmont 's city hall. The donation was part of a national program designed by Cintas Corporation to get lifesaving AED technology into the hands of trained officers, often the first to respond to cardiac emergencies.
Mayor Warden and Sergeant Halleran spoke to an audience of guests and village officials at the ceremony about the importance of having AED technology readily available. "For our purposes, it's great because you don't have to be a doctor or paramedic to use them," said Sgt. Halleran. "We thank Cintas for helping law enforcement with this program." Chief Mattei added, "By putting these AEDs into service, the Belmont Police Department will be able to supplement the existing cardiac emergency response capability provided by the South County Fire and EMS system."
The Belmont Police Department was the fifth department selected to receive the grant from a pool of over 2,500 applications nationwide. "All of the applicants demonstrated need, and they were all very deserving," said Mike Wallner, Cintas Reviver Provider AED Grant Program Manager. "We congratulate and thank the Belmont PD for their service to the community."
The Cintas ReviveR Provider Grant Program works on two levels. Police departments across the country are eligible to apply for the grant online at the program's web site – www.reviverprovider.org. Four times a year, a department will be selected to receive four ReviveR AEDs along with associated AED training from the American Heart Association. Through a civic underwriting program, qualifying non-profit and civic organizations interested in purchasing AEDs to present to local police departments can apply for special financing support.
Information and applications for the program are available online at www.reviverprovider.org.
According to the American Heart Association, more than 250,000 people a year die from sudden cardiac arrest. The Reviver Provider AED Police Grant Program helps Cintas and civic groups support law enforcement in their efforts to rapidly respond to cardiac emergencies.

It used to be that television was inspired by real life. Those days are gone. Now, we have real life (and its attendant reality series) brought to us by, of all things, a video game. The Forza Motorsport Showdown aired on SPEED TV in late winter, modeled after the popular video game of the same name. The star of the show (at least for us Corvette types) was Louis Gigliotti's '07 Velocity Yellow Z51 coupe.
If the name Louis Gigliotti rings a bell (and it ought to), it's because Louis is the son of World Challenge stalwart Lou Gigliotti. Louis crewchiefs Lou's World Challenge C6 on race weekends and runs the family's full-time speedware business the rest of the week.
For those unfamiliar with the show (and the game), here's a prcis: Six amateur racers were teamed up with six cars and their race teams for the competition. The racers had diverse backgrounds including circle-trackers, an autocross driver, and even a professional (hey, what happened to "amateur" drivers?) drifter.
Each team supplied the car of its choice. Being longtime Corvette racers, the LG Motorsports crew was approached to field a car and a crew for the show. Not surprisingly, they showed up with a Vette, while other teams brought rides ranging from classic muscle to modern sports cars. In the mix were a '69 Camaro, a '73 Challenger, a pair of Nissan 350Zs, and a supercharged '05 Mustang GT.
According to the show's Web site, "Forza Motorsport Showdown was inspired by the realism of vehicle customization and tuning features within the game, and is designed to put contestants to the ultimate test of high-performance driving and mechanical skills." In each installment of the four-episode series, the teams and their drivers competed in two driving disciplines including drifting, road racing, autocross, and drag racing. The payoff was a check for $100,000 in the winner-take-all format.
After each race, the drivers were awarded credits with which they could upgrade their car at the Speed Shop-just like in the game, except on the show it took more than the push of a button. At least, that is how it was supposed to work. Instead, the show completely ignored the points required to upgrade the cars, and mostly ignored the LG crew's upgrades altogether. Instead, they focused on the human drama, most of which was fabricated.
It could be argued that, in the interest of parity, the weakest drivers were teamed with the strongest cars and vice-versa. As it was, the LG bunch was given the youngest driver, an 18-year-old circle-track driver/Napoleon Dynamite doppelganger. As if simply having the brand-new Corvette wasn't a big enough advantage, the driver had the benefit of the LG Motorsports crew providing mechanical support and a cadre of the company's race-proven parts. Better still, the driver had unlimited access to LG himself to offer driver coaching.
We'll come back to the driver and the drama shortly. For now, we're sure you want to know about the car. The Forza C6 (which is now known as "Superstar" around the LG shop) was purchased by Louis in the fall of 2006, and was his first new car. The car was originally slated to be the testbed for the APS twin-turbo kit and some new forced-induction LG camshaft grinds for the turbo market. As luck would have it, the gods of poor timing saw to it that the new car arrived just before Louis departed to Texas for his final semester at Purdue. He returned to school without the car, just as the crew at the shop was preparing to perform the turbo install. The plan was to deliver it to him at the World Challenge race at Road America.
Fate again intervened, this time in the form of a call from the execs at SPEED TV. Lou (Sr.) had several conversations with them to hammer out the details of the upcoming series. Once that was done, the shop turned its attention to finding an appropriate "donor car" for the show. They just happened to have a new '07 Z06 on hand, but that was deemed a bit much for the competition. Instead, Louis's new '07 Z51 car was pressed into service.
With the proper forms filled out, a parts list for the modifications was submitted for approval, and the wheels were in motion. With just a week-and-a-half to ready the car for the show, a full-fledged thrash was undertaken. The partially installed turbo kit was removed, and the car returned to stock. All told, the LG bunch spent five days wrenching on the car to ensure the utmost safety and performance for their driver.
Safety was addressed with the addition of a four-point roll bar, a five-point harness, a thorough flush and bleed of the braking system, and the installation of a set of Cobalt race pads. Next, the LG crew put a wrench on every bolt to ensure absolutely nothing was going to come loose. They trial-fit all of their "upgrades" to ensure the components fit properly, and prepped everything so there would be as little time lost as possible once shooting got underway. At this point, they had no idea how much time would be allotted for modifications, so efficiency was foremost in their minds.
With that, the trailer was loaded with the car, the modification components, and a huge load of tools. The filming was to take place at and around Road Atlanta, so off to Georgia they went.

It is the vocation of the Humane Earth Foundation (FTH) to support the work of associations defending the environment, by making grants to them.
We are in fact convinced that the role of these associations is essential: very often, they are the only ones that ring the alarm bells, advocate the necessary changes, and put forward constructive alternatives. They are run by volunteers, with very limited means, but they represent the sector of our society that shows the greatest awareness, the most responsibility, and the most energy, and they bear our hopes for a better world.
This site is dedicated to them, to provide them with information about the possibilities of grants that FTH can put at their disposal, together with some other sources of finance.

RESTORADERM Skin Restoring Body Wash
Those with dry, itchy, eczema-prone skin, take note: Cetaphil's debut body wash is a winner!
Dermacontrol Oil Control Foam Wash
This is a good, lightly fragranced cleanser for normal to oily or combination skin.
Add to Faves?
Cetaphil At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; mostly fragrance-free products; affordable and widely available; offers complete ingredient lists on its website; the sunscreens offer sufficient UVA protection.
Weaknesses:No state-of-the-art moisturizers; the original Gentle Skin Cleanser is a dated formula that isn't nearly as elegant or efficacious as many other water-soluble cleansers.
This familiar, widely distributed skin-care collection is manufactured by Galderma, the same company that markets the prescription products Differin and MetroGel. Given the dermatology heritage of Galderma, it's surprising the Cetaphil line hasn't advanced beyond the basics. Yes, most of what's available is a safe bet for those with sensitive skin, but it's disappointing that their SPF-rated products utilize active ingredients that can be a problem for sensitive skin. A mineral-based sunscreen would be a welcome addition for a line that stresses its value for sensitive skin!
We'd have expected the company to keep pace with the latest research into what it takes to create a truly great moisturizer, but that hasn't occurred either, and it could be done while still keeping the products suitable for those with sensitive skin.
As for their original Gentle Skin Cleanser, it is no longer one we recommend. Why? Although we were a champion of this cleanser for years (back when hardly anyone knew about it and good water-soluble cleansers were scarce), the formula has become dated and just isn't worth strong consideration over several other cleansers at the drugstore.

Best pathology professor. He loved what he was doing. The time used to go by just like that before we realized. I didn't have the space in my book to write all the extra points he was teaching. I scored 86 in my assessment test. That speaks for it.

This shows he cared a lot about our progress. I thank him very much.
Hands down the best to help us understand heme/onc, rheuma, pharm cases. … I have never understood certain concepts about ITP, iron deficiency, clotting factors ect, as am far from my med school years… He was very engaging, and if he perceived some were not getting the point, would repeat it again. … EXCELLENT!!!

Dr. Moscatello was awesome. Micro has always been one of my favorite subjects, but I think I feel even more in love with it after her lectures. She made the class very entertaining and I loved her "money points" for the material. It really helped in terms of telling us what to really focus our time and energy on.

Dr. Turco made biochemistry come alive… His explanations were absolutely amazing, he went thru every single step in a pathway and then connected it to other pathways as well as connected it clinically, to make sure that we had a complete understanding in WHY something was happening in the body.

Anderson Silva to star in cop movie with Steven Seagal - Bloody ElbowQuote:
I can't say I didn't see this one coming. It appears that UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva will be making a move into making movies soon, and he'll be doing it next to his good buddy Steven Seagal. Anderson recently told Estadao (via Fighters Only) that he has received a script for a cop movie with Seagal, and he'll be filming in the US starting soon:
"I will make a lot of fight scenes and this is also the first time I will act. I received a long plot and I will have the opportunity of putting in practice what I have been studying for some time".
Apparently Silva, who already has a bunch of commercials on his resume, has been working on his acting with his director friend Johnny Araujo:
"Actually, he found out this side of me. I can say that he was my mentor in the acting art. He has been helping me so much with it and I will prepare myself each time more in order to make it well done", he promises.
"I dont want to be seen as somebody who caught the role because I am on the media and to be a fighter. Of course it is difficult, I am not Lorenzo Lamas, but I want to do it well done to the people see that I am a good actor."
Lorenzo Lamas? Okay. Kind of an obscure reference there, but whatever. If this movie ever sees the light of day (Seagal's mostly a straight-to-DVD guy now, if that), it should be amusing. 100 bucks says the Nogueiras get a cameo somehow.

Upload files and folders
If you have important files that you want to be able to access anywhere and anytime you sign in (including images and videos), you can upload them to Google Drive. To save time, upload a folder which will keep the original folder structure and upload all of the individual files within it.
Upload files
There are two ways to upload files to Google Drive:
- Drag-and-drop files. If you're using the latest versions of Chrome or Firefox, you can simply drag-and-drop files directly from your computer into Google Drive. You can even drag-and-drop files directly into folders or sub-folders.
- Upload files using Google Drive. Follow the steps below to select files to upload to Google Drive.
- Open drive.google.com.
- On the left, click New and select Upload Files... from the drop-down menu.
- Don't see New? You may be using the old version of Drive. Try clicking the upload icon and select Files... from the menu.
- Select the file you'd like to upload. To select multiple files, press Shift or Ctrl(PC)/Command(Mac) and click all the files to upload.
- You'll see a box that shows the progress of your file upload. Click on the file name to open the file or close the box by clicking the X in the upper right corner.
Upload folders
There are three ways to upload folders to Google Drive:
- Drag-and-drop folders. If you're using the latest version of Chrome, you can drag a folder from your desktop into Google Drive. The folder, all sub-folders, and files will begin uploading immediately.
- Upload folders through Google Drive (using Chrome). From Google Drive in Chrome, you can follow the steps below to upload a folder.
- Open drive.google.com.
- Click New and select Upload folder…. If you see "Enable folder upload" and you're using Chrome, you'll need to update Chrome to the latest version.
- Don't see New? You may be using the old version of Drive. Try clicking the upload icon and select Upload folder….
- Select one or more folders to upload. All files and sub-folders within that folder will also be uploaded.
- You'll see a box that shows the progress of your folder upload. Click on the file name to open the file or close the box by clicking the X in the upper right corner.
- Upload folders through Google Drive (in a browser other than Chrome). From Google Drive in browsers other than Chrome, you can use the following steps to manually upload a folder. You will need to enable folder upload in these browsers each time you visit your Google Drive. This feature is only available in the classic version of Drive at this time:
- Enable Java in your browser.
- Confirm that Java is enabled by visiting the Java test page.
- Install the Java applet.
- Click the Upload button in Google Drive and install the Java Applet when prompted.
- A security dialog will open asking if you want to allow an applet to run. Install this applet. Note: The applet will be signed by Google Inc.

- Change your sharing settings and let others access the files you upload.
- Learn about size limits for uploaded files.
- Customize your upload settings.

- James Wisniewski: Pretty much an essential, maybe not deserving of the 5.5 per, but worth it. As in, he just gets the PP, and if the Jackets didn't pony it up, he was going to get it elsewhere and their problems would still be unsolved. Plus he seems pretty stoked about coming to Columbus which is, like, Chicken Soup for the Blue Jackets Fan's Soul (ya hear, JCarter?). And he is proof that not all things from the State of Michigan have to be nasty. Okay?!
- Curtis Sanford: This is one of those times when Scott Howson reads my Twitter feed and listened to me, except that he signed him as a #3. (That's okay – I can dig it.) Sandman is a little old (relatively speaking, so stop making that face and taking it personally), and has been a pro since 1999 (Steve Mason was, like, 11). He's played backup in Vancouver to Roberto Luongo, and split duties for a few years in St. Louis. The last two, however, he was a mainstay in the Hamilton Bulldogs crease until an injury ended his year. He won 23 and 22 games the last two years with Hamilton, respectively and led the team to consecutive regular-season division Championships and onto Conference Finals, while mentoring a young Cedrick Desjardins and Robert Mayer.
- Mark Dekanich: 25, signed on to be Stevie Mason's backup goalie. 1 game of NHL experience – OH MY GAWD THE WORLD IS ENDING – but he has over 100 pretty solid ones in the AHL and from personal experience having seen one of his games in the ECHL – he has quick reflexes. Comes from the Nashville Predators Center For Kids Who Can't Read Good And Wanna Learn To Play Goal Good Too and was a back up back up to Pekka Rinne. Obviously this guy's not going to carry the load, but he should be in prime form to step up to the challenge. Oh, and he's on Twitter. @dexshow
- Some minor league guys: Mostly the rest is depth, nothing even worth making fun of except Aaron Johnson, who had his Best Year Ever in the AHL last year, but had some mediocre years in the NHL. But he's BFFs with Rick Nash, so he'll probably be starting on D every night.
Just kidding. I hope.
- Jan Hejda: $3.25M x 4 years, Colorado Avalanche. Really? asdksjfdsjgdfg… HAHA, WHAT? Rumored he was wanting the big bucks to stay in Columbus, but those big bucks needed to be used for an upgrade. His $2M payday last year seemed fair. If he wanted long-term in Columbus, sticking at $2M would have been cool. But a raise AND lengthy deal? For a guy who is getting progressively worse? Maybe the altitude will be good for him…?
- Scottie Upshall: $3.5M x 4 years, Florida Panthers. Hated to see him go, but… he was a little redundant in the Top 6 and too expensive for the Bottom 6. Would have loved to keep him for his old salary of $2.25M, but… yeah. Have fun on the beach.
- Mathieu Garon: $1.3M x 2 years, Tampa Bay Lightning.
- Mike Commodore: $1M x 1 years, Detroit Red Wings. We're paying him more than they are! Hello, indigestion. Positive this will be a bite-in-the-ass someday when he's motivated to try playing aggressively and smartly… oh, wait, HAHA. Carry on.

Partners in Supporting a Vivid Green Generation
Episencial's philosophy and products are endorsed by professional organizations for continuing leadership in advancing environmental activism into future generations and creating effective, high quality products with a mission to support Healthy Parenting. Through its exclusive partnerships with the nation's leading organizations supporting the health and wellbeing of infants and young children. Episencial extends its mission, educating parents and by natural extension their children, on the importance of all natural skin care for healthy body and planet.
Healthy Child Healthy World
HCHW educates parents, supports protective policies, and engages communities to make responsible decisions, simple everyday choices, and well-informed lifestyle improvements to create healthy environments where children and families can flourish. Healthy Child Healthy World exists because American children now face an historically unprecedented rise in chronic disease and illness such as cancer, autism, asthma, birth defects, ADD / ADHD, and learning and developmental disabilities. Credible scientific evidence increasingly points to environmental hazards and household chemicals as causing and contributing to many of these diseases.
Through its efforts over the past two decades, Healthy Child Healthy World has become the nation's leading organization of its kind, helping millions of parents, educators, health professionals, and the general public take action to create healthy environments and embrace green, non-toxic steps.
Ensuring a healthy future for our children is the most important role we have as parents. Yet the unfortunate danger of chemical toxicity can cause disease and illness ? especially in everyday products like personal and baby care products. What I greatly admire about Episencial is that at the core of each product, is the commitment to purity and utmost care for our most precious (and vulnerable) little ones. This is why Healthy Child Healthy World is a proud collaborative partner."
– Christopher Gavigan, – President Healthy Child Healthy World/Author
Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association
Episencial is the first skin care company to receive the endorsement of the prestigious Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association through which Episencial will provide education and awareness on topics ranging from skin during pregnancy, care and development of infant skin, products for infant massage and enhancing the baby bonding experience. The CAPPA membership is comprised of the professionals to whom women turn for guidance through the transformative experience of pregnancy and new motherhood. Naturally, their endorsement of Episencial's Epicuren Baby skin care line is a significant validation of our work.
"I have had the opportunity to work with babies and families for over twenty years, and working as a birth doula and lactation educator, I take personal responsibility in educating my families on the importance of what goes into our bodies, as well as what we put on them as well! I can't express enough gratitude and appreciation for the Episencial Line, it will be the gift I give at every birth!!"
– Valerie M. Peterson – Birth Doula
Infant Massage USA
Infant Massage USA promotes nurturing touch through the training and certification of infant massage educators as well as classes for parents and caregivers themselves. Infant Massage USA shares real and important information about the many healthy benefits of massage for both parents and babies, and offers a directory of certified therapists on their website.
?The demand for a safe, organic, 100% natural and plant-derived baby skin care line is long-standing, and the search is over. Thanks to Episencial's diligent research and product development, for the first time ever, we can confidently recommend a product line that meets our stringent standards in baby care. With Episencial's sensitive approach to the developmental stages of young skin, the most basic human need can be delivered safely – to be touched, caressed, stroked and cuddled with the love and respect that all babies deserve and are born to share.?
– Suzanne P. Reese, CEIM, International Trainer for Infant Massage USA
International Chiropractic Pediatric Association
Additionally, proceeds from the sale of products will benefit the clinical research work of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association to support its mission to engage and serve family chiropractors worldwide through education, training and research; establish excellence in professional skills and unite in a global community to to cooperatively and passionately participate in advancing chiropractic for both the profession and the public.
Pregnancy Awareness Month
www.pregnancyawarenessmonth.com seeks to empower women during this momentous time in life, and Episencial is thrilled to share our knowledge and products as a part of this experience.
Episencial CEO, Kim Walls serves on the advisory board of Pregnancy Awareness Month, along with holistic lifestyle expert and founder Anna Getty, television personality Rikki Lake, nationally renowned pediatrician Alan Greene, M.D., and actress Josie Maran.
"I have been a long time fan of Epicuren for myself but now that I am a mom I am so happy to know that the quality and integrity that goes into their adult line is going into their baby's line. I feel so good knowing that I am using products that are free of chemicals on my baby's skin. The lotion is mild and sweet smelling, the diaper cream effective and the bubble bath soothing and bubbly. Hats off to Episencial for thinking of our children."
-Anna Getty, Pre-Natal Yoga Teacher and Eco-Life Style Expert

Her first Halloween home.
And believe it or not, she has NO interest in the candy.
Instead, she just preferred to munch away on edamame and sip some green tea with Mom.
Hope you all had a safe holiday!
Oh, she 's so lovely !
She is soooo precious. We gave away most of the candy that my daughter received from her different activities. She's not very big on candy other than plain chocolate or chocolate & peanut butter.
She is so precious! That hair-do suits her to a T.
Hi! I was surfing for sites for GF recipes, especially bread, since at $9/loaf at our local Celiac bakery, it is awful! However, I happened upon your site, and just wanted to tell you that your little chicklet is just about the CUTEST little thing! She would have us totally wrapped around her little finger! Now on to the rest of your site!! :=) Have a fun holiday season with her!

Not much to say, just hanging in my shade tree!!!!
the Flugger Valve Company dabbled in screw machines YEARS ago but they made them too good...never did fail and no replacement parts were neccessary so they stopped making them. too bad really. I would love to have had the opportunity to rebuild just one of them. all of them are still running today from what I hear.

Time will tell Grasshopper some people may not know Carrier makes a screw chiller since there aren`t many in the forum being worked on ,on a daily basis,but I could be just bias.
All the big companys make screw Chillers and all have good and bad issues just a matter of which ones you want to deal with the most. JMHO

Refer all arguments to the wife, she's better at it.
I'm bias too. Carriers problem is getting salesmen with a clue.
Sell it to be installed correctly and get trouble free operation. A 30HXC with pump control, condenser water bypass valve controlled by machine, 3-6 gallons of water volume per ton, cooler flow 2.4 GPM per ton, and condenser flow 3.0 GPM per ton will be trouble free. Install the machine under the old sequence of operation design and Carrier gets a bad reputation.
Now is the best time for them like buying a new car model that's been out for years the bugs have been worked out. Or new this year 30XW has the same design with a larger quieter compressor with a beefed up slide valve design for capacity control.

My Top Five Cape Town Videos on YouTube
Fazielah Williams
Fazielah Williams has lived in and loved her Mother City since birth. Having lived all over the Peninsula during her childhood, she now calls the picturesque City Bowl home and likes nothing more than watching the sun set over Table Bay from the window of her apartment.
A lover of the arts and proud Cape Town fanatic, Fazielah began her writing career by spending many hours as a child conjuring fantastical stories that featured independent heroines from faraway lands who saved the Prince instead. This Capetonian princess has enjoyed stints as a magical arts PRO and TV publicist before finding her calling as a travel writer.
When not waxing lyrical about the Fairest Cape's most loved attractions and activities and embarking on unexpected adventures, Fazielah can usually be found taking in a show at one of the City's fabulous theatres.
Cape Town, our beloved Mother City, is truly a vision ... and how better to enjoy her numerous sights and gorgeous people than on video?
From the iconic views of Table Mountain, our Wonder of Nature and Cape Point to enjoying the outdoors with our cute penguins on Boulders Beach and experiencing the delicious food, wine and coffee culture, there is just so much of our inspirational hometown to capture on film.
Don't believe me? Check out my top five videos of Cape Town on YouTube below, and see why the deeper you go into the Mother City, the more beautiful she gets:

New For 2014The RLX (which replaces the RL) is an all-new model. While it retains the familiar look of the brand, the RLX gets sportier sheetmetal, a bevy of new technologies that aid the driver, and fresh powertrain choices. It is wider and has a longer wheelbase than before, offering ever-expanding Americans more interior space.
Vehicle SummaryAcura took awhile -- almost a decade, in fact -- to launch the new generation of its flagship luxury sedan, but the RLX promises to be worth the wait thanks to a feast of technological features designed to make the car safer and more enjoyable to drive. Still based on a front-wheel-drive chassis, the RLX is the largest and most powerful four-door the brand offers, and it's the closest thing to a competitor Acura has against the sporty, potent machines from Germany, Japan, and America.
OverviewThe RLX replaces the RL in name and positioning for the 2014 model year. Acura's flagship gets a new 3.5-liter direct-injection V-6 engine rated at 310 hp and 272 lb-ft of torque mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. This V-6 replaces the 3.7-liter V-6 in the previous car; it makes 10 more hp while netting 20 mpg in city driving and 31 mg on the highway. The RLX is two inches longer between the wheels and 1.7 inches wider than its predecessor.
A range of techno goodies give the RLX a different character compared with other entries in this segment. It has Precision All-Wheel Steer, which applies independent torque control from a unit mounted in the rear suspension and makes for more athletic driving. During our first test of the car, we noted that PAWS allows the driver to brake early for a tight bend and then put a lot of power down while exiting a curve. There is also a Lane-Keeping system that is close to autonomous driving. The system works with the car's adaptive cruise control and a camera mounted in the front that can read road markings, allowing the RLX to actually steer itself for up to ten seconds around gentle curves in the road.
As intriguing as this technology is, it's actually the hybrid RLX that is the most compelling model. The hybrid offers the most power (370-hp V-6) and a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission; its steering and handling are sharper than the gasoline model, and the engine is capable of keeping up with some of Germany's luxury V-8 machines. The hybrid system has an electric motor to help power the rear wheels in Acura's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system.
The RLX went on sale in March, starting at $49,345. A fully loaded model with the Advance package tops out at $61,345.
You'll like:
- Impressive hybrid model
- Futuristic driver aids
- Roomy, quiet interior
You won't like:
- No rear-wheel drive
- Cabin is plain
- Steering is just average
