Windscreen wiper
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2008)
A windscreen wiper or windshield wiper is a device used to remove rain and debris from a windscreen or windshield. Almost all motor vehicles, including trains, watercraft and some aircraft, are equipped with such wipers, which are usually a legal requirement.
A wiper generally consists of an arm, pivoting at one end and with a long rubber blade attached to the other. The blade is swung back and forth over the glass, pushing water from its surface. The speed is normally adjustable, with several continuous speeds and often one or more "intermittent" settings. Most automobiles use two synchronized radial type arms, while many commercial vehicles use one or more pantograph arms.
High speed aircraft may use bleed air rather than mechanical wipers to save weight and drag; the intended effect is the same.
Early versions[edit]
The inventor Mary Anderson is credited with devising the first operational windshield wiper in 1903.[1][2] In Anderson's patent, she called her invention a "window cleaning device" for electric cars and other vehicles. Operated via a lever from inside a vehicle, her version of windshield wipers closely resembles the windshield wiper found on many early car models. Anderson had a model of her design manufactured, then filed a patent (US 743,801) on June 18, 1903 that was issued to her by the US Patent Office on November 10, 1903.[3][4]
Irish born inventor James Henry Apjohn (1845–1914) devised a method of moving two brushes up and down on a vertical plate glass windscreen in 1903. This was patented in the UK.
In April 1911, a patent for windscreen wipers was registered by Sloan & Lloyd Barnes, patent agents of Liverpool, England, for Gladstone Adams of Whitley Bay. The first designs for the windscreen wiper are also credited to Polish concert pianist Józef Hofmann, and Mills Munitions, Birmingham who also claimed to have been the first to patent windscreen wipers in England.
John R. Oishei (1886-1968) formed the Tri-Continental Corporation in 1917. This company introduced the first windshield wiper, Rain Rubber, for the slotted, two-piece windshields found on many of the automobiles of the time. Today Trico Products is one of the world's leading manufacturers of windshield wiping systems, windshield wiper blades and refills, with wiper plants on five continents.[citation needed] Bosch has the world's biggest windscreen wiper factory in Tienen, Belgium, which produces 350,000 wiper blades every day.[5]
Inventor William M. Folberth applied for a patent for an automatic windscreen wiper apparatus in 1919, which was granted in 1922. It was the first automatic mechanism.[clarification needed] Trico later settled a patent dispute with Folberth and purchased Folberth's Cleveland company, the Folberth Auto Specialty Co. The new vacuum-powered system quickly became standard equipment on automobiles, and the vacuum principle was in use until about 1960. In the late 1950s, a feature common on modern vehicles first appeared, operating the wipers automatically for two or three passes when the windshield washer button was pressed, making it unnecessary to manually turn the wipers on as well. Today, an electronic timer is used, but originally a small vacuum cylinder mechanically linked to a switch provided the delay as the vacuum leaked off.
Intermittent wipers[edit]
The inventor of intermittent wipers might have been Raymond Anderson who, in 1923, proposed an electro-mechanical design. (US Patent 1,588,399). In 1958 Oishei et at. filed a patent application describing electro-mechanical, thermal and hydraulic designs. (US Patent 2,987,747). Then in 1961 John Amos, an engineer for the UK automotive engineering company Lucas Industries, filed in the UK the first patent application for a solid-state electronic design. (See US patent 3,262,042).
In 1963, another form of intermittent wiper was invented by Robert Kearns, an engineering professor at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan.[1] The road to his intermittent wipers began earlier, on his wedding night in 1953, when an errant champagne cork shot into Kearn's left eye, which eventually went almost completely blind. Nearly a decade later, Kearns was driving his Ford Galaxie through a light rain, and the constant movement of the wiper blades irritated his already troubled vision. He got to thinking about the human eye, which has its own kind of wiper, the eyelid, that automatically closes and opens every few seconds. Finally in 1963, Kearns put his idea into action, building his first intermittent wiper system using off-the-shelf electronic components. Kearns showed it to the Ford Motor Company, and proposed manufacturing the design.
In the Kearns design, the interval between wipes was determined by the rate of current flow into a capacitor. When the charge in the capacitor reached a certain voltage, the capacitor was discharged, activating the wiper motor for one cycle. After extensive testing, Ford executives decided to offer a design similar to Kearns' intermittent wipers as an option on the company's Mercury line, beginning with the 1969 models.[1] Kearns and Ford became involved in a multi-year patent dispute that eventually had to be resolved in court.[6] A fictionalized version of the Kearns invention and patent lawsuit was used for the 2009 film Flash of Genius, which is billed as "based on the true story", but does not claim to be historically accurate in all respects.
In March 1970, Citroën introduced rain-sensitive intermittent windscreen wipers on their SM model. When the intermittent function was selected, the wiper would make one swipe. If the windscreen was relatively dry, the wiper motor drew high current, which set the control circuit timer to delay the next wipe longest. If the motor drew little current, it indicated that the glass was wet, setting the timer to minimize the delay.
Headlight wipers[edit]
In 1970, Saab Automobile introduced headlight wipers across their product range. These operated on a horizontal reciprocating mechanism, with a single motor. They were later superseded by a radial spindle action wiper mechanism, with individual motors on each headlamp.
Other modern designs incorporate spray washing mechanisms into the headlight wipers, or rely solely on pressurized water spray to clean the headlights.
Wipers may be powered by a variety of means, although most in use today are powered by an electric motor through a series of mechanical components, typically two 4-bar linkages in series or parallel.
Vehicles with air operated brakes sometimes use pneumatic wipers, powered by tapping a small amount of pressurized air from the brake system to a small air operated motor mounted on or just above the windscreen. These wipers are activated by opening a valve which allows pressurized air to enter the motor.
Early wipers were often driven by a vacuum motor powered by manifold vacuum. This had the drawback that manifold vacuum varies depending on throttle position, and is almost non-existent under wide-open throttle, when the wipers would slow down or even stop. This problem was overcome somewhat by using a combined fuel/vacuum booster pump.
Some cars, mostly from the 1960s and 1970s, had hydraulically driven wipers.[citation needed]
On the earlier Citroën 2CV, the windscreen wipers were powered by a purely mechanical system, a cable connected to the transmission; to reduce cost, this cable also powered the speedometer. The wipers' speed was therefore variable with car speed. When the car was waiting at an intersection, the wipers were not powered, but a handle under the speedometer allowed the driver to power them by hand.[citation needed]
Most wipers are of the pivot (or radial) type: they are attached to a single arm, which in turn is attached to the motor. These are commonly found on many cars, trucks, trains, boats, airplanes, etc.
Another type of wiper design is pantograph-based (see Fig. 6, below), which are used on many commercial vehicles, especially buses with large windscreens. Pantograph wipers feature two arms for each blade, with the blade assembly itself supported on a horizontal bar connecting the two arms. One of the arms is attached to the motor, while the other is on an idle pivot.[citation needed] The pantograph mechanism, while being more complex, allows the blade to cover more of the windscreen on each wipe. However, it also usually requires the wiper to be "parked" in the middle of the windscreen, where it may partially obstruct the driver's view when not in use. Some larger cars in the late '70s and early '80s, especially LH driver American cars[citation needed], had a pantograph wiper on the driver's side, with a conventional pivot on the passenger side.
Mercedes-Benz pioneered a system called the Monoblade, based on cantilevers (see Fig. 5, below), in which a single arm extends outward to reach the top corners of the windscreen, and pulls in at the ends and middle of the stroke, sweeping out a somewhat 'M'-shaped path. This way, a single blade is able to cover more of the windscreen, and displace the residual streaks away from the center of the windscreen.
Asymmetric wiper arrangements are usually configured to clear more windscreen area on the driver's side, and so are mostly mirrored for left and right-hand-drive vehicles. One exception is found on Renault Clios, where the wipers always sweep towards the left. On right-hand-drive models, a linkage allows the right-hand wiper to move outwards towards the corner of the windscreen and clear more area.

Unusual wiper geometries[edit]
- Works as would Fig. 1, but uses a large, single wiper
Other features[edit]
Windscreen washer[edit]
Most windscreen wipers operate together with a windscreen (or windshield) washer; a pump that supplies a mixture of water, alcohol, and detergent (a blend called windshield washer fluid) from a tank to the windscreen. The fluid is dispensed through small nozzles mounted on the hood. Conventional nozzles are usually used, but some designs use a fluidic oscillator to disperse the fluid more effectively.
In warmer climates, water may also work, but it can freeze in colder climates, damaging the pump. Although automobile antifreeze is chemically similar to windscreen wiper fluid, it should not be used because it can damage paint. The earliest documented idea for having a windshield wiper unit hooked up to a windshield washer fluid reservoir was in 1931, Richland Auto Parts Co, Mansfield, Ohio.[7] Uruguayan racecar driver and mechanic Héctor Suppici Sedes developed a windscreen washer in the late 1930s.[8]
Hidden wipers[edit]
Some larger cars are equipped with hidden wipers (or depressed-park wipers). When wipers are switched off in standard non-hidden designs, a "parking" mechanism or circuit moves the wipers to the lower extreme of the wiped area near the bottom of the windscreen, but still in sight. For designs that hide the wipers, the windscreen extends below the rear edge of the hood, and the wipers park themselves below the wiping range at the bottom of the windscreen, but out of sight.
Rain-sensing wipers[edit]
Vehicles are now available with driver-programmable intelligent (automatic) windscreen wipers that detect the presence and amount of rain using a rain sensor. The sensor automatically adjusts the speed and frequency of the blades according to the amount of rain detected. These controls usually have a manual override.
Rain-sensing windscreen wipers appeared on various models in the late 20th century, one of the first being the Citroen SM. As of early 2006[update], rain-sensing wipers are optional or standard on all Cadillacs and most Volkswagens, and are available on many other mainstream manufacturers.
Headlight wipers[edit]
Some vehicles have small wipers or washers on the headlights. In some recent vehicles, these have been replaced with a powerful jet spray, without wipers.
Rear wipers[edit]
Some vehicles are fitted with wipers (with or without washers) on the back window as well. Rear-window wipers are typically found on hatchbacks, station wagons / estates, sport utility vehicles, minivans, and some sports cars. They were first implemented in the 1970s.

Alcohol is a key ingredient in many dishes both sweet and savory. Often used in sauces and marinades, it adds richness and distinct flavor elements as an ingredient on its own. More importantly, when heated to cooking temperatures alcohol actually causes other foods to release flavors that otherwise wouldn't be achieved. Adding alcohol into the cooking process can create a unique balance of acidity, sweetness and savory in a dish.
Whether you are poaching fruit in sweet white wine, soaking cakes in bourbon, braising chicken thighs in red wine or making beer battered fish and chips, alcohol can be a very important ingredient in the kitchen. But the truth is not everyone wants to use alcohol in their food. If you are one of these people or are having a dinner guest who is, don't be discouraged when you see a spirit in the ingredient list. While there is no exact replacement for beer or wine or whiskey in a recipe, there are many substitutions that will work just fine. Remember that measurements may not be exactly equal when replacing alcohol in recipes. And generally, if it is a tablespoon or less it can be eliminated entirely. Also keep in mind if alcohol is a main flavor ingredient in a dish, it is suggested that you look for a different recipe rather than trying to replace it.
Here is a helpful list of replacement ingredients for alcohols commonly found in recipes:
Beer or ale: for light ale use chicken broth or white grape juice, for darker ales use beef broth or mushroom stock. Non-alcoholic beer can also be used. In a batter recipe replace beer with soda water.
Red wine: chicken or beef broth, red wine vinegar diluted with water, grape juice mixed with a little red wine vinegar, water or tomato juice. Use 1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar to 1-cup liquid for diluting. Add a tablespoon of sugar for sweet wine.
Amaretto: almond extract
Brandy: use fruit juice with corresponding flavor, for example apricot juice for apricot brandy.
Orange liquor: Frozen orange juice concentrate
Sake: white grape juice with lemon zest or rice vinegar diluted with water
Sherry: orange or pineapple juice
Dry vermouth: white grape juice or white wine vinegar
Sweet vermouth: apple or grape juice or balsamic vinegar
White wine: chicken broth, white wine vinegar diluted with water, ginger ale or white grape juice mixed with a little lemon juice. Use 1 TBSP vinegar or lemon juice to one-cup water or grape juice. Add a tablespoon of sugar for sweet wine.
Kahlua: chocolate extract mixed with espresso powder, coffee syrup or coffee extract
Bourbon: vanilla extract
Rum: rum flavoring or pineapple juice
Frangelico: hazelnut or almond extract
Hard cider: apple juice, sparkling apple juice or cider
Champagne: Sparkling grape juice or ginger ale
Here are some recipes to try!:
Grilled NY Striptease
The Best Bread Pudding
Apple Strudel
Lady and Sons Chicken in Wine Sauce
Pot Roast Soup
Chocolate Toffee Trifle

I am one of those people who cannot ingest alcohol in any form. I cannot use it in lotions or even anything I may apply to my body. I cannot use flavorings such as vanilla extract due to alcohol as a base. It is very difficult to learn to cook with or live without it as it is included in so many products on the market today. Thank you for this list of subs. I for one really appreciate it. If I were going to someones dinner party and she /he failed to be honest with me when I asked if anything were created with alcohol. I could wind up on the floor with someone calling 911 or worse. Dont ever NOT tell your guests that alcohol is included in one or more of your dishes. You could save a life.
By Liz Pankey on July 01, 2012
How about not telling your guests or family you are using alcohol in COOKING. They will never know the difference and it makes food taste great. I even make my own vanilla flavoring using vodka. Check your vanilla bottles, yep, contains alcohol.,,,
By Charlotte Wolfe on June 20, 2012
In your "16 Alcohol Substitutes for Cooking" you left out non-alcoholic wines. The ones I know of are Ariel, Inglenook St.Regis, and Sutter Home Fre. I seldom cook with wine, but I've used red wines from all three sources for Coq au Vin.

"Traveling a more conventional varietal path than its very well-made but more tightly wound sibling hailing from Howell Mountain, this plush, downright opulent Merlot simply oozes with juicy, optimally ripened black cherry fruit, and its very generous appointment of sweet oak in no way distracts from its grape-driven main message. It is blessed with far more than just another showy display of ripeness and oak, and it is surprisingly well-balanced beneath its baby fat with the structure to hold up and improve for many years. "

Michael Jackson's son: Star Wars or Xbox?
There are two mags I read religiously. The best is The Week (by far the only mag you need to read) and the second is Us (the best mag to make you feel cheap and dirty).
In this week's Us, there's an interview with one of Michael Jackson's family friends, who happened to be at a Christmas party in which Princess Leia, Carrie Fisher, showed up to bring Jackson's kids a Star Wars Jabba The Hut doll. It also included a bikini clad Leia figurine, BTW. This apparently enthused the kids for about five minutes. Then, Prince, the oldest of the kids, went back to talking about Xbox. Of course, Jackson, the deceased, was a video game fanatic.
Jackson kinda was important in my writing life as a 20 year old in the sense that I wrote about him for various rags and review his shows on a TV program for which I was an underpaid critic. Here's below is a press pass from back in the day.
Last weekend, I really quite enjoyed playing Moonwalker, the old Sega game. I wonder if Prince is gonna pull out that old gem at some point and play. Not right now though. Fresh wounds.

Another small setback for the construction of the downtown convention hotel in Evansville.
The groundbreaking was set for January 23, but officials say it could now be more than a month before things get underway.
There are several reasons for the groundbreaking delay, one of which is just the bitter cold temperatures we've had. Officials say it's hard to have a groundbreaking when you can't get the shovel in the ground.
Mayor Winnecke says crews with developer HCW have been doing some geo-technical studies on the site and during that process they discovered several moorings in the ground that once supported the parking garage.
Mayor Winnecke says that HCW thinks they can redesign the foundation around the moorings without having to remove them. He also tells us there are contingencies built into the financial contract when hiccups like this one come up to prevent unexpected expenses for the taxpayers.
The mayor says despite the delayed groundbreaking there are several new developments to the hotel that are moving plans forward.
"HCW did respond today to the ERC with new design elements which the ERC will take under advisement," said Mayor Winnecke. "And in Indianapolis today, the state building commissioner's office is considering building plan approvals for the hotel and we anticipate that those will be approved today, he said. "So all still going on track, still looking for an early fall 2015 opening."
Mayor Winnecke says they haven't set a new groundbreaking date because it's all weather dependent, but it could be early February.

text: YAKIMA, WA - Financial stress definitely has the City of Yakima thinking about other options to keep commuter bus service from Ellensburg to Yakima up and running. But the city never predicted the bus line's current non-profit operator would pull out of its contract."It was unfortunate that we got news this week that HopeSource, the operator just bailed out on us because that was unexpected," said Yakima City Manager Tony O'Rourke.HopeSource released a statement saying "The Yakima City Manager made it clear that Yakima has decided to contract with a private for profit entity.... We have submitted a letter of severance to Yakima Transit effective June 15, 2014."O'Rourke said there was never a discussion to immediately change operators."Their contract was supposed to take this to June of 2015, and at that time we were going to look at potential private operators," said O'Rourke. "Not before then. So to use the excuse that they were going to be pushed out by a private operator simply wasn't true."O'Rourke said a short term solution is to find another non-profit operator so commuters like Rachel Hayes, who rely on the bus service can still get to Ellensburg and back."I'm married, and we only have the one car that we usually use," said Hayes.O'Rourke said the city currently pays about $90,000 to keep the bus line running.Besides contracting with a private operator, who say they can provide bus services at a lower cost and better equipment, the city is looking at other ways to keep the bus line running. This includes upping the fares by a dollar and making fewer runs.About 200 people use the bus line per day.

Warm up on a December night with an edible hat and mittens and a cup of hot cocoa. The foundation of this recipe is the versatile dough that can be customized to create chocolate, colored, striped, or marbleized cookies.
Repoke the holes immediately after baking to ensure that they are big enough for threading with string or licorice.
Instead of rolling out your dough on a floured surface, roll it out between waxed paper. The cookies will stay moist because extra flour is not incorporated during the rolling process.
Cut out a pair of mittens and the hat from the rolled-out cookie dough. Punch a hole with the straw near the corner cuff of the mitten. Bake the cookies as directed. When cool, add a frosting pom-pom to the hat and tie the mittens together with licorice.

Mini-Review: Cat Physics
One rule of the wild is that cats love to play with a ball. This is the premise behind Cat Phyiscs, a standout puzzle game on the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. This game may be several months old but it's a game worth playing if you haven't already, especially because Donut Games has recently added 20 free levels to its original 50 through an update.
The goal of the game is to get the ball from Cat A to Cat B. You first drag around the arrows on the screen, getting them into position so that when you tell the first cat to launch the ball it will follow the path you've laid out. Each arrow will propel the ball using its momentum and factoring in gravity. You are scored from one to three stars based on the distance of your path to the goal.
There is a lot of trial and error involved, and failing to reach Cat B does not effect your score. The levels become more complex by adding multiple arrows of varying directions, sometimes with extra arrows that don't necessarily need to be used. Portals even come into play later, which really adds to the challenge. When the ball enters one portal it exits another, but you never know which portal the ball will come out of until you try. There are also obstacles that can work against you or to your advantage, like glass platforms that break if hit with too much momentum, moving spokes, and catapults.
Cat Physics is a fun game for when you need to kill a few minutes at a time, and forces you to think logically and strategically. Plus the music is great, and the mewing of the cat when you complete a level is an adorable reward.

I only started collecting washi tape in the last year or so, after holding off for awhile, knowing it might become addictive. There are so many colors and designs and widths! The nice thing is that most of them are fairly inexpensive, about $2 each on average, and now that the chain craft stores carry them, sales and coupons are an option as well.
Here's my current stash, including some samples I received in swaps:
I think most of these were from Etsy sellers, but the rest were from local stores, either Scotch Tape Expressions or a craft store chain brands. Joann actually just introduced some brand new "craft tape" of their own, under the "Craft Essentials" name, though they were near the fabric/sewing area of the store for some reason.
These are just a few samples, but I think they did really well with their designs. They seem a lot more stylish and well-designed than the ones I've seen at Michaels.
I haven't really made anything fancy with the tapes I do have, other than sealing up handmade envelopes or other mail with a bit. I've seen a lot of great washi projects online though, so I want to at least make a card or something with tape soon.

Lassiter at Milton really looks like a great game next week. This just in…Lassiter can play a little defense and run the ball too. Aside from 1 long run of around 65 yards, Jones was held in check. Stopping 2 good backs could be a bit tougher then stopping 1 though. Will be fun to watch.

Roasted Roots with Herbs
Since oven-roasted vegetables in the 'Summer Collection' were so very popular, I simply had to do a winter version. Here is it and once again it is a winner for entertaining, not least because all the vegetables can be cooked together with little or no attention.
Serves 4
This recipe is taken from Delia Smith's Winter Collection
First scrub the carrots and parsnips, dry them well and place them in a large bowl with all the other prepared vegetables. Now add the crushed garlic, olive oil and mixed herbs; then, using your hands, mix well to make sure they all have a good coating of the oil. You can leave them like this covered with clingfilm for up to 2 hours until you are ready to cook them – in which case the oil will have nicely absorbed the flavour of the garlic and herbs.

Runnin' Smoothly
By now, all of the gins across the Cotton Belt probably are repaired, have hired and safety-trained their crews, have been hit by or dodged whatever weather bullets Mother Nature has shot at them and cranked off for the season. Barring more weather, other acts of God, simple mechanical wear and tear or human error, the properly designed and maintained modern cotton gin plant ought to run as smoothly as a sewing machine without unscheduled shutdowns from the time it starts in the fall until the last bale is pressed.
Now is the time to keep an eye out for those capacity robbers in your own gin. A capacity robber is any particular system or operation that keeps you from averaging at least 90 percent of the manufacturer's stated bale throughput capacity of the gin stands that you are using on good seed cotton. You may have gotten used to the machine or system that chokes or goes down once a shift, or at night, or every two or three days. These are capacity robbers and cost you money.

What other readers are saying about this title:
Laura P. said:
This is the story of religious fervor and religious fraud in a small town in the 1980s. Told from three perspectives it's a simple and compelling story and very tragic. Since the reader knows all (or nearly all), it's easy to see exactly what is going to happen. That was kind of frustrating since none of the characters really put it all together and blamed the right person. I actually almost quit reading. However, I kept on and I guess I'm glad I did. I'd try this author again as I think this was his first book.

Short Stories of Edward P. Jones
Published on Friday, April 5, 2013 - 3:13pm
Edward P. Jones, local novelist and short story writer, has given us a full picture of Washington D.C. life conducted away from the monuments in his classic collection of short stories, Lost in the City.
While short stories have received much praise as an art form in recent years, in this collection Mr. Jones actually proves why this type of literature is so important. He gives us a social map of different types of persons who live in the city and how they live out their dreams and endure their losses. Mr. Jones gives us sharply defined images of the conditions of life that shape the existence of various characters who live in the urban setting of Washington D.C.
The characters are imaginary according to Edward Jones, but the settings are very real, reported down to the last detail. In this collection, the stories are just long enough to show how each character engages life challenges, develops his or her attitudes toward life and struggles for identity and meaning. For instance, from the vivid pictures of life in these stories we get a child's view of the first day of school and its lasting effect on her life and in another story we are given a vivid impression of how difficult it is for a young man to achieve something through his efforts in a potentially demeaning job as told in "The Store."
Through these stories we are presented with the human predicament as it was and is for African American citizens who live in the shadow of the United States Capitol.
The Short Story Book Club at Watha T. Daniel/Shaw will be reading a series of short stories by Edward P. Jones from this anthology. Each meeting will consider one story. Our first session on April 6 will be on "The Girl who Raised Pigeons."
We meet on the first Saturday of every month from 10 a.m. to noon in Conference Room 2.

Why Our Business Is A Good Janitorial Service
When looking for a janitorial service provider you'll be presented with a multitude of options, and oftentimes it's very difficult to differentiate one janitorial business from another. In fact, it's not uncommon for a consumer to continuously switch between different janitorial cleaning service companies until they find the right one. Luckily, with our janitorial service you'll be spared the copious amounts of time most businesses/consumers usually spend searching for the right fit - With us you're guaranteed your satisfaction. Here are just a few attributes that put us far ahead of other companies providing similar services.
State of the Art Tools
Many janitorial companies are stuck in the 20th century when it comes to machines and tools, but with us you'll have a service provide using the latest and most efficient technologies in the janitorial industry. This means our workers will be able to perform much more efficiently, and cause them to work much more diligently - meaning you get more bang for your buck. With our highly efficient equipment you'll find us able to clean inside the little cracks, crevices, and corners we otherwise wouldn't be able to reach with outdated equipment. You'll find shinier floors, spotless walls, and dust-free furniture with our services.
Hardworking Employees in All Positions
With our janitorial service you'll find all of your employees to be highly motivated individuals who not only love their jobs, but do their jobs well. Our employees get each and every task done fast and efficiently. It's our guarantee that you won't find "bum" employees who sit around doing little productive work - you'll find the exact opposite. Accompanied by our state of the art equipment our hard working employees are able to get much more done than the average janitor employee. The best part is you'll get it all at a price that doesn't break the bank; you're getting quality employees at a great price.
Floor Cleaning Service - Our Specialty
One area almost all janitorial service providers lack in is the floor cleaning service field, and for good reason. Floor cleaning is some of the most repetitious, time-consuming work a janitorial company will ever pursue. Our company, with our superior equipment and highly-qualified employees can not only provide a good floor cleaning service, but we can guarantee your floor will look squeaky-clean year round. We have mastered our floor cleaning service and are happy to provide it to customers at great prices.
As a company we take pride in going above and beyond the normal expectations set for janitorial service providers. We make sure we stay up to date with any industry improvements, and keep a solid team of efficient employees that are qualified to work on any task we hand them. We make it a point to maintain our quality work; you'll see the same high-quality service as long as you choose to remain with us.

BLOND PSYLLIUM Overview Information
Blond psyllium is an herb. The seed and the outer covering of the seed (husk) are used to make medicine.
Blond psyllium is used as a laxative and for softening stools in people with hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and after anal surgery. It is also used for diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ulcerative colitis, and dysentery. Other uses include high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, weight control, and serious renal disease.
Some people apply blond psyllium to the skin as a poultice for boils.
In food manufacturing, blond psyllium is used as a thickener or stabilizer in some frozen dairy desserts.
Some foods that contain blond psyllium carry a label that claims these foods, when consumed as part of a low-fat diet, may reduce the risk of heart disease. The FDA allows this claim if the food contains at least 1.7 grams of psyllium per serving. The key word in this claim is "may." It is true that blond psyllium can help lower cholesterol levels; but there's no proof yet that taking blond psyllium reduces the risk of developing heart disease. Despite its effectiveness in lowering cholesterol levels, blond psyllium has not yet been included in the stepwise approaches to dietary therapy such as the American Heart Association Step I or Step II diets for high cholesterol. Most clinical studies have used a specific blond psyllium powder preparation (Metamucil) or food that contains psyllium seed husk, such as cereals, breads, or snack bars.
How does it work?
The husks of the psyllium seed absorb water and form a large mass. In people with constipation, this mass stimulates the bowel to move. In people with diarrhea, it can slow down the bowel and reduce bowel movements.
BLOND PSYLLIUM Uses & Effectiveness
Effective for:
- Relieving constipation and softening stools. Some evidence suggests that blond psyllium alone can relieve constipation and improve stool consistency as effectively as preparations containing blond psyllium plus senna or docusate sodium.
Likely Effective for:
- Lowering cholesterol in people with high cholesterol. Taking blond psyllium reduces cholesterol levels in people with mild to moderate high cholesterol. Blond psyllium seed husk or seed added to food or as a separate supplement in a dose of approximately 10-12 grams daily, in combination with a low-fat or a high-fat diet, can reduce levels of total cholesterol by 3% to 14% and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol by 5% to 10 after 7 weeks or more of treatment. Blond psyllium also does not seem to lower other blood fats called triglycerides.
In children with high cholesterol, taking psyllium can further decrease LDL cholesterol levels by 7% to 15% when added to a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet such as the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Step 1 diet. Interestingly, taking blond psyllium along with a stricter low-fat, low-cholesterol diet such as the NCEP Step 2 diet may have less of an additional effect in lowering LDL cholesterol.
Psyllium seems to be less effective in older people. There is some evidence that it lowers LDL cholesterol levels to a lesser degree in people 60 years or older compared to people under 60.
Some evidence suggests that psyllium seed might be more effective than the seed husk for lowering cholesterol.
Blond psyllium seems to be most effective when taken with foods at mealtime. Breakfast cereal containing blond psyllium can decrease total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol by 5% and 9%, respectively.
There is some evidence that taking blond psyllium for high cholesterol makes it possible to reduce the dose of certain medications used to lower cholesterol. For example, taking 15 grams of blond psyllium (Metamucil) along with 10 mg of simvastatin (Zocor) daily seems to lower cholesterol about as well as taking a higher dose (20 mg) of simvastatin daily. Similarly, a combination of blond psyllium with colestipol (Colestid) at half their usual doses seems to be as effective as colestipol alone. Blond psyllium also seems to reduce colestipol and cholestyramine (Questran, Questran Light, Cholybar) side effects such as constipation and abdominal pain. But don't adjust the dose of your medication without consulting your healthcare provider.
Possibly Effective for:
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). While not all studies agree, there is evidence that blond psyllium seed husk can relieve constipation and improve abdominal pain, diarrhea, and overall well-being. It may take up to four weeks of treatment to get the best results.
- Lowering blood sugar after eating a meal in people with diabetes (type 1 and type 2). Blond psyllium's maximum effect on the blood sugar levels occurs when psyllium is mixed with or taken with foods. In addition to lowering blood sugar, blond psyllium seed husk also lowers cholesterol in people with diabetes who have high cholesterol. Some studies show blond psyllium can lower total cholesterol by about 9%, and LDL cholesterol by 13%. Blond psyllium does not lower after-meal blood sugar levels in people who do not have diabetes.
- High blood pressure. Taking psyllium fiber (husks) with soy protein seems to help reduce the top number in a blood pressure reading (systolic blood pressure) by about 8 mmHg and the bottom number (diastolic blood pressure) by about 2 mmHg in adult men and women.
- Treating side effects of a drug called Orlistat (Xenical, Alli). Taking blond psyllium with each dose of orlistat seems to relieve orlistat side effects such as gas, stomach rumbling, stomach cramps, and oily spotting without decreasing the weight-reducing effect of orlistat.
- Diarrhea.
- Preventing ulcerative colitis symptoms.
- Hemorrhoids.
Possibly Ineffective for:
- Skin growths in the large intestine and rectum (colorectal adenoma). Taking 3.5 grams of blond psyllium per day does not seem to reduce the risk of colorectal adenoma. There is some evidence that it might actually increase the risk of adenoma recurrence, particularly in people who get a lot of calcium from their diet. However, more evidence is needed to determine the relationship of psyllium and calcium to colorectal adenoma.
- Serious kidney disease.
Insufficient Evidence for:
- Preventing fat redistribution in people with HIV disease.
- Some types of cancer.
- Some types of skin conditions.
- Other conditions.
BLOND PSYLLIUM Side Effects & Safety
Blond psyllium is LIKELY SAFE for most people when taken with plenty of fluids. Drink at least 8 ounces of fluids for every 3-5 grams of husk or 7 grams of seed. In some people, blond psyllium might cause gas, stomach pain, diarrhea, constipation, and nausea. It has also been linked to reports of headache, backache, runny nose, cough, and sinus problems.
Some people can have an allergic response to blond psyllium with symptoms such as swollen nasal passages, sneezing, swollen eyelids, hives, and asthma. Some people can also become sensitized to psyllium through exposure at work or repeated use of psyllium. Stop using blond psyllium and get medical attention immediately if you develop symptoms such as flushing, severe itching, shortness of breath, wheezing, swelling of the face or body, chest and throat tightness, or loss of consciousness.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Blond psyllium is LIKELY SAFE when used appropriately.
Diabetes: Blond psyllium can lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Monitor blood sugar levels closely. Doses of conventional antidiabetes medications may need adjustment. Another consideration is that some commercial blond psyllium products can contain added sugars that might increase blood sugar levels.
Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders: Don't use blond psyllium if you tend to develop hard stools in the rectum due to ongoing constipation (fecal impaction), GI tract narrowing, obstruction, or conditions that can lead to obstruction, such as spastic bowel.
Allergy: Some patients can have severe hypersensitivity reactions to blond psyllium. This is more likely to occur in patients with previous occupational exposure to blond psyllium. Don't use blond psyllium if you are sensitive to it.
Phenylketonuria: Some blond psyllium preparations are sweetened with aspartame (Nutrasweet) and should be avoided in patients with phenylketonuria.
Surgery: Blond psyllium might affect blood sugar levels, making blood sugar control more difficult during and after surgery. Stop taking blond psyllium at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery.
Swallowing disorders: Don't use blond psyllium if you have problems swallowing. Blond psyllium might increase your risk of choking.
BLOND PSYLLIUM Interactions
Moderate Interaction Be cautious with this combination
- Carbamazepine (Tegretol) interacts with BLOND PSYLLIUM
Blond psyllium contains large amounts of fiber. Fiber can decrease how much carbamazepine (Tegretol) the body absorbs. By decreasing how much carbamazepine (Tegretol) the body absorbs blond psyllium might decrease the effectiveness of carbamazepine (Tegretol).
- Lithium interacts with BLOND PSYLLIUM
Blond psyllium contains large amounts of fiber. Fiber can decrease how much lithium the body absorbs. Taking lithium along with blond psyllium might decrease the effectiveness of lithium. To avoid his interaction take blond psyllium at least one hour after lithium.
- Medications for diabetes (Antidiabetes drugs) interacts with BLOND PSYLLIUM
Blond psyllium might decrease blood sugar by decreasing the absorption of sugars from food. Diabetes medications are also used to lower blood sugar. Taking blond psyllium with diabetes medications might cause your blood sugar to be too low. Monitor your blood sugar closely. The dose of your diabetes medication might need to be changed.
Some medications used for diabetes include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), chlorpropamide (Diabinese), glipizide (Glucotrol), tolbutamide (Orinase), and others.
- Warfarin (Coumadin) interacts with BLOND PSYLLIUM
Warfarin (Coumadin) is used to slow blood clotting. Some people worry that blond psyllium may decrease warfarin (Coumadin) absorption and its effectiveness, which could increase the risk of clotting. But blond psyllium does NOT seem to affect warfarin (Coumadin) absorption or effectiveness.
Minor Interaction Be watchful with this combination
- Digoxin (Lanoxin) interacts with BLOND PSYLLIUM
Blond psyllium is high in fiber. Fiber can decrease the absorption and decrease the effectiveness of digoxin (Lanoxin). As a general rule, any medications taken by mouth should be taken one hour before or four hours after black psyllium to prevent this interaction.
- Ethinyl estradiol interacts with BLOND PSYLLIUM
Ethinyl estradiol is a form of estrogen that's in some estrogen products and birth control pills. Some people worry that psyllium can decrease how much ethinyl estradiol the body absorbs. But it is unlikely that psyllium will significantly affect ethinyl estradiol absorption.
BLOND PSYLLIUM Dosing
It's important to take enough water when taking blond psyllium. Not taking enough fluid could lead to choking or obstruction of the esophagus (the food passage connecting the throat and the stomach) or bowel. Take at least 240 mL per 5 grams or less of blond psyllium husk or 7 grams of blond psyllium seed. To minimize some of the common GI side effects, start with a low dose and increase to the needed amount.
The following doses have been studied in scientific research:
- As a laxative for constipation: 7-40 grams of blond psyllium seed per day, in 2-4 divided doses.
- For diarrhea: 7-18 grams of blond psyllium, in 2-3 divided doses or 5 grams of a combination of blond psyllium, calcium carbonate, and calcium phosphate (in ratio of 4:1:1 by weight).
- For decreasing diarrhea in patients receiving tube feedings: up to 30 grams of blond psyllium daily in divided doses of 2.5-7.5 grams per dose. It may be given through the feeding tube, either mixed with the nutritional formula or all at once followed by a flush with water. However, use care, because psyllium might clog the feeding tube.
- For chronic diarrhea after gall bladder surgery: 6.5 grams of blond psyllium three times daily.
- For diarrhea that sometimes accompanies the use of a medicine called misoprostol: 3.4 grams of blond psyllium twice daily.
- For irritable bowel syndrome (IBS): 10-30 grams of blond psyllium seed husk in two to three divided doses daily. 10 grams of blond psyllium seed husk twice daily with 15 mg of propantheline three times daily has also been used.
- For reducing the gastrointestinal (GI) side effects of a medicine called orlistat: 6 grams of blond psyllium three times daily with each orlistat dose.
- For keeping symptoms of ulcerative colitis under control: 10 grams of blond psyllium seeds, taken twice daily.
- For relieving bleeding from hemorrhoids: 3.5 grams of psyllium seed husk, twice daily for three months.
- For high cholesterol: 3.4 grams of blond psyllium seed husk three times daily or 5.1 grams twice daily. However, doses up to 20.4 grams per day have been tried. Cereal with added psyllium that provides 12 grams of soluble fiber per day has also been used. A mixture of 2.1 grams of psyllium, 1.3 grams of pectin, 1.1 grams of guar gum and 0.5 grams of locust bean gum has been used three times daily. A combination of 2.5 grams of blond psyllium powder (Metamucil) with 2.5 grams of colestipol, taken three times daily has also been used. A combination of simvastatin (Zocor) 10 mg and blond psyllium (Metamucil) 15 grams daily has also been used. In children with high cholesterol: cereal containing 5-10 grams of psyllium daily.
- For type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol: 15 grams of blond psyllium in three divided doses.
- For reducing the glycemic index of food in patients with type 2 diabetes: 15 grams of blond psyllium in three divided doses with a carbohydrate meal has been used.
- For high blood pressure: 15 grams of blond psyllium husks daily for 8 weeks.

As a gnome, I saw a couple of tauren fishing in Ironforge.
I tried to stand back there to fish by them, but I wasn't tall enough to stand in the water back there in order to cast (I'm not joking, they could fish and I couldn't). There was also a human back there fishing alongside them.
They fished there in relative peace for about two hours, from what I saw. One left, and then some jerk came up and took out the other.
I hugged the dead tauren (and got Make Love, Not Warcraft in the process), and a few of us chewed out the rogue.
You'll get ganked, but probably not as much as you might expect, since there'll be those of us extending courtesy to fellow fishers.

Monoprice Brings the Noise!
Introducing its New Pro Audio Series in its NAMM Show Debut
That was CES 2013 for Monoprice.
As musical debuts go, it proved a memorable one.
Monoprice created some lasting noise about its new Pro Audio Series products during its first appearance at NAMM 2013 held at the Anaheim Convention Center.
Quite literally.
Numerous impromptu jam sessions took place in the Monoprice booth(which was located in the DJ and Lighting Arena) throughout the four days of the NAMM show as visitors, long time and new customers tried out the company's new guitars – "California Classic" and "Route 66 Vintage" and were stunned by the new products high quality design and low prices.
Monoprice also featured functioning demonstrations of its microphones, mixers, headphones and studio monitors, enabling visitors to try out the company's growing line of pro audio products.
There were also a number of memorable performances in the Monoprice booth.
Check them out here:
Mike Etchart, host of Sound and Vision Magazine's radio show, also featured Monoprice on his show.
Sound and Vision Magazine Radio about our new pro audio products.
You can download the radio interview on iTunes:
Bobby Owsinski who writes The Big Picture Music Production blog, also wrote about Monoprice and is looking to try out our new pro audio products:
Joseph Lemmer of Tape Op Magazine also wrote a rave review about our DJ headphones. He is also testing out our new large diaphragm dondenser microphone and will write a review shortly.
A number of additional media are also eager to try out Monoprice's Pro Audio Series products.
Monoprice also offers guitar picks and strings, guitar stands, a mini headphone amplifier for guitar, music mounts for iPad, and other accessories and will continue to expand on its Pro Audio Series with plans to offer keyboards and other percussive instruments in the coming year.
Following its successful initial NAMM experience, Monoprice is looking to kick up a racket with its expanded Pro Audio Series in Nashville this July at the NAMM EAST.
Music City may never be same.

Kehr et al., 2011 (DOI: 10.1111/j.1476-5381.2011.01499.x)
Dr. Emery Brown, on recent studies at the National Institute of Mental Health which have indicated that administering extremely low doses of ketamine can help treat patients with chronic depression: "If this turns out to be reproducible, it could change tremendously how chronic depression is managed. For 70 to 80 percent of patients [in the study who received low doses of ketamine,] they felt better almost immediately. This is an exciting finding because right now, there is no way to make a chronically depressed patient feel better immediately. So this is an exciting finding, and if it's shown to hold, I think it may change tremendously the way chronic depression is treated."

Because of a construction delay at McCarthy Beach State Park, you now will be able to camp there this spring. But not later in the summer.
They will start taking camping reservations as of 9 O'clock this morning for the upcoming spring season including the always popular Memorial day weekend. The campground will close around mid-August for the building of a new shower house. The no camping is likely to last into the fall, however the park will be open for day use.
Camping or lodging reservations can be made up to a year in advance by visiting www.mndnr.gov/reservations or by calling toll-free,866-857-2757, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Friday and 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday-Sunday.
A couple of winter notes: Winter camping is no longer allowed in the park, and McCarthy Beach is a designated weekend skiing destination, which means trails may not be groomed immediately after a snowfall but will be ready for the following weekend whenever possible.
Here is the complete DNR news release if you want more information.

Navy (3-7) at (10) Missouri (8-0)
Saturday, December 10th, 5:00 p.m. (et)
The Sports Network
By Scott Haynes, Senior College Basketball Editor
FACTS & STATS: Site: Mizzou Arena (15,061) -- Columbia, Missouri. Television: MSN. Home Record: Navy 2-2, Missouri 5-0. Away Record: Navy 1-5, Missouri 0-0. Neutral Record: Navy 0-0, Missouri 3-0. Conference Record: Navy 0-0, Missouri 0-0. Series Record: Missouri leads, 2-0.
GAME NOTES: The 10th-ranked Missouri Tigers return to Columbia for a three- game homestand, starting with this evening's showdown with the Navy Midshipmen.
Frank Haith has yet to experience a loss at the helm of Missouri, as the Tigers have opened his debut season with eight straight wins. The team was last in action on Tuesday when it topped Villanova in the Jimmy V. Classic in New York City, 81-71.
Ed DeChellis' Midshipmen have struggled early on, winning just three of their 10 games thus far. Navy enters the Mizzou Arena with a three-game losing streak in tow, including Tuesday's 69-67 defeat at the hands of Monmouth.
This is the third all-time meeting in this series and first since 1994. The Tigers won both previous matchups.
The Midshipmen have struggled this year with offensive consistency. The team is shooting a pedestrian 43 percent from the floor, leading to 61.8 ppg. The scoring pool is extremely shallow, with only J.J. Avila and Jordan Sugars representing viable scoring threats at 13.4 and 10.8 ppg, respectively. Worth Smith ranks third on the team in scoring, but nets just 6.6 ppg. The Midshipmen actually put up a balanced scoring effort against Monmouth, but they still lost. Avila led the way with 14 points. Sugars added 12, while Smith and Jordan Brickman chipped in with 11 points apiece.
Lighting up scoreboards has been much easier for the Tigers this year, with the team averaging 85.6 ppg thus far, shooting 51.1 percent from the floor, including 42.5 percent from behind the arc. Scoring depth is apparent, led by Marcus Denmon, who is netting 21.3 ppg. Fellow guard Kim English can fill up the basket as well at 16.6 ppg. The pair have combined for 56 of the team's 74 three-pointers thus far. Ricardo Ratliffe (14.3 ppg, team-high 7.1 rpg) provides balance up front. Michael Dixon rounds out the top scoring threats at 10.9 ppg and has done so off the bench. Denmon led the way in the 10-point win over Villanova this week, draining six three-pointers en route to a 28-point outing. Ratliffe added a double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds. English finished with 15 points in the win.
The Tigers have far too many weapons for Navy to contend with in this one. Denmon and company should get out to a fast start and never look back.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Missouri 87, Navy 48

Wolf's Den in Ostrander opens new addition
By Sonya Meyerhofer
Wednesday, October 10, 2012 5:59 AM
Wolf's Den owner Royal Dempewolf recently opened his new dining room addition to the business in Ostrander. The bar area was also remodeled. Both men's and women's handicapped accessible restrooms were also built with the addition.
The Den just got larger in Ostrander.
Wolf's Den owners Royal and Lynne Dempewolf re-opened their bar and restaurant on Sept. 27, after being closed for four days, to reveal their newly-remodeled bar area and brand new dining room addition.
The project has been a "work in progress" for five years, Royal noted. The couple have owned the bar since 2004. The old building formerly located in the spot of the new addition was removed in 2007. Concrete for the new foundation was poured in the summer of 2011. They started building the addition during January 2012, thanks to the mild winter, and the outside of the addition was completed in February.
The main contractors for the project, noted Royal, were Greg Stender, who did plumbing and heating work, and Brent Hagen, who did the construction.
Along with the remodeled bar area and dining room addition, there are now 65 more seats for customers. Royal said the main motivating factor for the change was to have more seating.
"We haven't had enough seating since 2007," he said.
The dining area now boasts booths on both sides with tables in the center. There is also a 20 by 10 ft. dance space where DJs will set up for musical entertainment - which provides a quieter location with more dancing space, Royal added.
Also new in the addition are men's and women's handicapped accessible bathrooms. The old bathrooms in the bar area were torn out and in their place are three booths for additional seating. New carpet was installed in both the dining and bar areas.
Royal pointed out another plus of the addition is the new double-door entryway that will help save on utility bills. Upon entering the outside door visitors find themselves in an entryway where they can either go left through a door to the bar area or right through a door to the dining area.
"The entryway was a must," he noted, "it saves on both heating and cooling costs."
Royal said his customers have also been enjoying the newly-created smoking area off the rear of the building outside that provides smokers with protection from the elements.
The one thing that didn't change in the establishment is the wolf theme. The new dining room is decorated with wolf-themed wallpaper border, wolf collectibles and photos.
In the bar area, one can now find high top tables and stools, along with new décor. The owners bought the tables, chairs and booths at online auctions, both in the addition and the bar area.
Royal said they went through numerous floor plans over the last year, designing the layout themselves.
Royal said what he likes most about the changes made is the larger space and a "cleaner look." In addition to the look, the staff has changed as well, with the hiring of additional members.
What has not changed, well at least for now, is the menu. Cooking at the establishment, besides Royal, are Mark Mills and Jeff Gaulrapp. The cooks will still be serving pizzas, all-you-care-to-eat steak, and the specials on certain nights will still be held with fish fry Fridays, taco Thursdays, and buck burger Wednesdays. Royal said he hopes to expand on the menu in the future.
As for the reaction from customers about the changes, Royal said, "Everyone who comes in loves it."
"We've had a lot of compliments on how nice it looks," he concluded.

Eau Claire—July 27, 2013—The Wisconsin Woodchucks used four multi-run innings and 16 hits to knock off the Eau Claire Express 18-5.
Every Woodchuck that recorded an at-bat had a hit, four Woodchucks had multiple hits, and six Woodchucks had multiple RBI's. Levi Meyer led the way, going 4-4 with four RBI's, falling just a home run short of the cycle.
Woodchucks starter Dan Weigel did his part, as well, as he completed six innings, allowing only two earned runs with only one walk while improving his record to 4-3 on the year.
The Woodchucks would start the scoring in the top of the first inning. After a Tyler Stieb single started the frame, he would score with two outs on a single by Levi Meyer to put the 'Chucks on top 1-0.
The lead would stay there until the third inning. With two outs and Brandon Krieg on first, the Woodchucks put together a rally. Meyer and Rob Bennie recorded RBI doubles, and a two-run single by John Menken brought home four runs to make it a 5-0 lead for the Woodchucks.
Weigel was able to hold the Express off the board until the bottom of the third. After an error by Edgar Figueroa, the Express would plate two runs on a double by Tim Wise to cut the lead to 5-2. Wise would also score on a single by Greg Harisis to trim the Woodchucks lead to two runs. Two of the three runs were unearned.
The Woodchucks would get those two unearned runs back in the top of the fourth. With runners on second and third and one out, Meyer hit a triple into the right-center field gap to extend the Woodchucks lead to four runs, giving Meyer four RBI's in the game and bringing him a home run short of the cycle.
After the Express added another run in the fifth, the Woodchucks offense broke out again in the sixth. Five runs would cross in the inning. Austin Diemer and Bennie drew bases loaded walks to pick up RBI's, and a two-run double by Edgar Figueroa helped extend the Woodchucks lead to eight runs.
The offense did not let up there, though. The 'Chucks plated six more runs in the seventh inning, highlighted by a two-run triple for Stieb and RBI singles by Garrett Rucker, Diemer, and Figueroa as the 'Chucks extended their lead to 18-4.
