French Flies
Heilmann has also recently published an article in Paramag about the first French batwing jumper, featured above. "The first French parachutist with wings was 'James Williams' (his true name was Jean Niland), and he flew from a plane on the 16th of March, 1937 at Toussus-Paris, maybe for only one flight, no more, 40 days before the death of Clem Sohn," Heilmann wrote to me. The Icarus Report hopes to offer a full translation of the piece as soon as it's available.
On another note, I'd like to point out that an article I wrote about for Popular Mechanics about Visa Parviainen (who strapped jet engines to his ankles and flew horizontally for 30 seconds in his wingsuit) seems to have slipped under the radar of the skyflying community. You can read it here.

It is these early pioneers that forge the way forward, the French has had a lot of involvment in early aviation and have been at the front of flight through those first years.
- asda car insurance said...
The french have always been in the forefront of aviation, they were the largest aircraft builders and many countries had French planes in the early years of flight, from the first ballonists to aircraft for war they were always one step ahead of the other countries.
'D.B.Cooper' had a dark overcoat over a business suit. ya think...????
So if we look for a French origin skydiver who knew about 'batsuits' before they were wingsuits, we could track him down? Who could have known about this stuff in the 60s and 70s, and could he be traced? Inspector Clouseau, where are you?

Weather permitting, the Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness will begin fogging residential areas for mosquitoes Monday night, July 1. The Shawnee, South Dixie Beach, Sylvania Park and Cave Hill Cemetery areas will be fogged. Boundaries of the areas to be fogged are as follows:
North - W. Market St.South - BroadwayEast- 34th St.West –Southwestern Parkway
South Dixie Beach
North – Stites StationSouth – Katherine StationEast- Kulmer Beach, Abbott Beach, and Dixie BeachWest –Ohio River
Sylvania Park
North – Murray/Lower Hunters TraceSouth – Greenwood Rd.East- Terry Rd.West –Greenbelt Highway
Cave Hill Cemetery
North-Lexington Ave. and Payne St.South-Grinsted Dr.East-Etley Ave.West-Baxter Ave. and Bardstown Rd.
Mosquito fogging is done between dusk and dawn. Fogging cannot be done if it is raining, if wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour or if evening temperatures are above 85°. If fogging activities are canceled due to weather conditions, they will usually be rescheduled for the following weekday evening.
In determining where to fog, the Department of Public Health and Wellness uses surveillance data, such as counts of mosquitoes in traps distributed throughout the metro area. Workers will be spraying a synergized synthetic pyrethroid. This product offers a very low toxicity and odor. Pyrethroids can be used for public health mosquito control programs without posing unreasonable risks to human health. It is registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Kentucky Department of Agriculture for use in adult mosquito control programs. This product is biodegradable.
Citizens wishing to receive phone notification of fogging in their area as well as other important community notification alerts can sign up at https://cne.coderedweb.com/Default.aspx?groupid=kQgqqvlabhKHJciBj0wZEQ%3d%3d. The Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness will post areas to be fogged throughout the summer on its website http://louisvilleky.gov/health. Citizens may also phone the fogging hotline at 574-6641 or call MetroCall at 311 to report a specific mosquito problem.
During fogging operations PLEASE: • Keep children away from the fogging vehicle. • Park your vehicle off the street when possible. • Do not tailgate or follow the fogging vehicles. • Do not stop the fogging truck while it is fogging. • Go inside and remain indoors while the fogging vehicle is in the neighborhood.

On certain models moisture can get into the rear wheel bearing and cause a noise. Replacing the rear wheel bearing is needed for this issue.
Problems for specific Honda Odyssey years:
Car problem reports
Problem with your car? See what our experts say or submit your own.
Most reported Honda Odyssey problems
Computer or torque converter fault can cause Check Engine Light
There is an issue where the transmission can have a torque converter problem, or the computer monitoring the torque converter can misinterpret the information, and in either case this can cause the Check Engine Light (MIL) to illuminate. The problem will need to be diagnosed and depending upon what is causing the issue, the transmission will have to be repaired or the computer replaced.
Fuel Gauge Will Not Read "Full" Due to Sending Unit Fault
On certain models the fuel gauge will not read full due to excessive resistance in the sending unit. Replacing the sending unit in the fuel tank will commonly repair this issue.
Inaccurate Fuel Gauge Due to Sulfur Deposits on Sending Unit
Sulfur deposits on the fuel sending unit can cause the fuel gauge to read inaccurately. Replacing the sending unit will repair this issue.
Check Engine Light on Due to Faulty Idle Air Control Valve
A faulty Idle Air Control valve (IAC) can cause the engine to surge and the Check Engine light (MIL) to come on. Replacing the IAC valve will repair this issue.
Updated exhaust pipe and mount will fix moaning noise
Updated brake pad for groan noise from front
Power seat failure due to detached cable
On some models the power seat can become inoperative when a cable becomes detached. Replacing the cable will fix this issue.
Oil Leak From Front of Engine
A seal in the 4 cylinder engine around the balance shaft tends to fall out, causing a large oil leak. There is a retaining device available to prevent the seal from falling out, which can be put in place during routine timing belt maintenance.
Buzzing noise may resonate through transmission shift cable at freeway speeds
EVAP soleniod failure due to road salt
Rear Brakes May Groan Due to Faulty Rear Brake Drum
On certain models the rear brakes can groan when coming to a stop. Replacing the rear brake drums may be necessary to correct this issue.
Noise From Front Wheel Bearings, Replace Both
On some models faulty front wheel bearings can cause a growling type noise from the front of the vehicle. Replacing both front wheel bearings is recommended for this repair.
Check Engine Light Due to Moisture Freezing in MAP Sensor
Certain models in colder climates can exhibit a Check Engine light (MIL) when moisture freezes in the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor. Replacing the MAP sensor repairs this issue
Replace rear brake pad shims to correct clunk
On certain models the rear brake pads can cause a clunk when first braking due to the brake pad shims restricting pad slide. Replacing the read disc brake pad shims will repair this issue.

Leaving children unattended in cars is dangerous, illegal
Not only is it illegal to leave a child unattended in a vehicle, with temperatures reaching the upper 90's it could be deadly.
"Children should never be left unattended in a vehicle for any amount of time," Department of Child and Family Services secretary Suzy Sonnier said. "The interior temperature of a car rises at an alarming rate and can quickly reach dangerous levels that put children at risk. Heat stroke can be deadly or result in severe and permanent injuries."

Pink and Black Striped Sweater
Jorth looked at the weather report. The forecast? Cloudy, scattered showers increasing during the day, top of 19. "YES!" she exclaimed, fist pumping the air. "It's a perfect, perfect day for my new sweater!"
I really, really enjoyed knitting this. I always like knitting stripes - something about seeing another one done spurs me on to knit more, which results in a pretty quick knit. It would have been done a heck of a lot quicker but I had to wait three months for a single ball of black yarn to come back in stock. Silly, silly me for not calculating how many balls I would need. I think from now on I'll get that extra ball, just in case!
The only alteration I made to this knit was to knit two rows of pink to each four rows of black above the big fat middle pink stripe. The pattern called for only one row of pink to be knit, but that left me with two choices: loads of pink ends to weave in, if I cut the yarn, or to use an intarsia technique to catch my pink yarn behind the work. Since my intarsia sucks (it's soooooo messy, I just can't get the hang of it) and I dreaded the thought of weaving in those millions of ends, I decided to make life easy for myself and knit two rows of pink. No ends to weave, no intarsia to worry about - why make things hard?
I am very happy with how this turned out. My love affair with crazy bright pink shows no signs of abating! I love the Sonia Rykiel feel to it. Now she's a woman who appreciates a good stripe!
I am tempted - very, very tempted - to make another one of these for next winter, but dress length! This time, though, I make sure I buy plenty of balls of yarn so I don't have to wait until winter is over before I don it. Gah!

Gerrymandered but true
It's generally assumed that politicians will say anything to get elected. However, a recent analysis of the infamous redistricting of Texas in 2003—when Republicans redrew the boundaries of congressional districts to undermine the reelection of white Democrats in the Texas congressional delegation—suggests they're more likely to stick to their guns than we realize. After the redistricting, there was no significant change in the voting positions of these Democrats to accommodate their new district constituency. In other words, they stayed who they were, ideologically speaking, even if that worsened their chances of reelection.

Sturdy Desk, Great Features
Comments about Atlantic Gaming Desk, Black:
I have had this desk around a week now and I love it. It is sturdy construction, which makes me happy since my last desk fell apart on me. It was fairly easy to put together, some of the screws were tough to get in. I think that my biggest gripe would of been the instructions that came with it. If it wasn't for the fact that I have put together a my fair share of desk before I would been a little lost since some of the illustrations are a little vague on where things go.

The desk didn't have any screws in the box and it's been a real headache trying to request for parts from the desk's website. It's been well over a week and haven't heard from them. Seems like a great desk but it's hard to say if I can't even assemble it.

Communism destroys development of the society
Communism general idea is equality to all the people farmer or a scientist, no one is special every one is equal. thus when i see that i am a farmer i work hard the scientist also works hard. but they to earn the same. i am a kid i see this and decide freak i m gonna be a farmer why the fuck do i need to study.I am basically from a poor family the reason i study is a wanted a job through which i can fulfill my dreams of luxury. and people like me would sooner or latter end up contributing to the society.
i don't know much about communism my father is a supporter he would donate money to CRY rather than buy me a toy.i have come to despise communism ( din mean to hurt people ). i loathed my life, pathetic life and worked my ass off to get into the best institute in India. Would the same happen if i where under communist government.

thomas dukerAug 27 2011: I think that we should remind some benefits of communism such as solidarity. In fact, capitalism needs some reforms, we are all fed up with this integrism of markets which make us think that thanks to capitalism there is developemnt but in reality it's just an illusion. Capitalism makes inequalities grow faster and faster, and individualism spread also. Thus i invite u to see what's happening in Africa or Asia ( India for example), it's just a minority who are the winner and others are victims of capitalism. I don't want the soviet or marxist system get back, we saw their appalling results but i think that capitalism needs some ethics.
Aug 27 2011: As a person a others victim of capitalism, i will strive hard to actually come up.Maybe i fail,My son fails,My grandson fails, His son suppose invents somthing great like a Operating system or some advancement in a feild sell the patent , is now the ceo of some company. he is a winner. you see it as a outsider a spectator. you have the benifit of what he made ( with some cost ) still. its development. the question is would he do the same in a communist environment.
people would end up thinking why have to do any think when i have a life of peace, no competition). In a communist system If existed Bill Gates would have thought what is the use of writing a os (it would be free and profitless) of more than 10000 lines of program in asembly languague rather just do the same job he used to do earlier and live the same life. We would'nt have windows, microsoft. so this my point
the world basically works on windows ( leaving the ones who like linux (like me) (GUI are for wimps) ) , So would this have happened
thomas dukerAug 28 2011: I really agree with u, I am not telling u that capitalism should disappear but it needs somme reforms, the power of capitalism is competitiveness, it tells people you are free and you can innovate and have the benefits of this effort and work but unfortunately it forgets to tell them that a real success should not create and cause the failure or even more the death and mistreatment of some people. To conclude, just be aware of what's happening around us , nowadays capitalism is fashionable as communism was yesterday. So let's not reject the whole capitalist or communist system, but try to take the best.

Ear infection - chronic
Chronic ear infection is inflammation or infection of the middle ear that persists or keeps coming back, and causes long-term or permanent damage to the ear.
See also: Acute ear infection
Alternative Names
Middle ear infection - chronic; Otitis media - chronic; Chronic otitis media; Chronic ear infection
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
For each ear, a eustachian tube runs from the middle ear to the back of the throat. This tube drains fluid that is normally made in the middle ear. If the eustachian tube becomes blocked, fluid can build up. When this happens, germs such as bacteria and viruses can multiply and cause an infection. This is called an acute ear infection (acute otitis media).
A chronic ear infection occurs when fluid or an infection behind the eardrum does not go away. A chronic ear infection may be caused by an acute ear infection that does not clear completely, or repeated ear infections. Fluid in the middle ear may become very thick. Sometimes, the eardrum (tympanic membrane) may stick to the bones in the middle ear.
A chronic ear infection may cause permanent changes to the ear and nearby bones, including:
- Infection in the mastoid bone behind the ear (mastoiditis)
- Ongoing drainage from a hole in the eardrum that does not heal, or after the ear tubes (tympanostomy tubes) are inserted
- Cyst of the middle ear (cholesteatoma)
- Hardening of the tissue in the middle ear (tympanosclerosis)
- Damage to, or wearing away of the bones of the middle ear, which help with hearing
"Suppurative chronic otitis" is a phrase doctors use to describe an eardrum that keeps rupturing, draining, or swelling in the middle ear or mastoid area and does not go away.
Ear infections are more common in children because their Eustachian tubes are shorter, narrower, and more horizontal than in adults. Chronic ear infections are much less common than acute ear infections.
A chronic, long-term infection in the ear may have less severe symptoms than an acute infection. It may go unnoticed and untreated for a long time.
Symptoms include:
- Ear pain or discomfort, earache
- Usually mild
- May feel like pressure in the ear
- Fever
- Fussiness
- Pus-like drainage from the ear
- Hearing loss
Note: Symptoms may be continuous or come and go, and may occur in one or both ears.
Signs and tests
An examination of the ear may show:
- Dullness
- Redness
- Air bubbles
- Fluid behind the eardrum
- Draining fluid from the eardrum
- A hole (perforation) in the eardrum
- The eardrum bulges out or pulls back inward
Tests may include:
- Cultures of the fluid may show bacteria, and these bacteria may be resistant or harder to treat than the bacteria commonly involved in an acute ear infection.
- Skull x-rays or a CT scan of the head or mastoids may show that the infection has spread beyond the middle ear.
- Hearing tests may be needed.
The health care provider may prescribe antibiotics if the infection may be due to bacteria. You may need to take antibiotics for a long time, either by mouth or sometimes into a vein (intravenously).
If there is a hole in the eardrum, antibiotic ear drops are used. For a difficult-to-treat infected ear that has a hole (perforation), a dilute acidic solution (such as distilled vinegar and water) may be recommended by your health care provider.
A surgeon may need to clean out (debride) tissue that has gathered inside the ear.
Other surgeries that may be needed include:
- Surgery to clean the infection out of the mastoid bone (mastoidectomy)
- Surgery to repair or replace the small bones in the middle ear
- Repair of the eardrum
Expectations (prognosis)
Chronic ear infections usually respond to treatment. However, your child may need to keep taking medicines for several months.
Chronic ear infections are not life threatening, but they can be uncomfortable and may result in hearing loss and other serious complications.
- Partial or complete hearing loss due to damage of the middle ear
- Slow development of language or speech
- Paralysis of the face
- Inflammation around the brain (epidural abscess) or in the brain
- Damage to the part of the ear that helps with balance
Permanent hearing loss is rare, but the risk increases with the number and length of infections.
Calling your health care provider
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if:
- You or your child has signs of a chronic ear infection
- An ear infection does not respond to treatment
- New symptoms develop during or after treatment
Getting prompt treatment for an acute ear infection may reduce the risk of developing a chronic ear infection. Have a follow-up examination with the health care provider after an ear infection has been treated to make sure that it is completely cured.

Toddler naps with his 2-month-old puppy every day.
Blogger Jessica Shyba and her family adopted an adorable 7-week-old mutt. They named him Theo. On his third day as part of their family, Theo joined Jessica and her toddler son Beau for afternoon snuggle time. Beau fell asleep and then so did Theo.The next day, he joined in the naptime ritual again. "And so began," Shyba says, "the most organic and beautiful friendship I have ever witnessed." Since then, every day Theo waits for Beau to fall asleep and then joins him for his two-hour snooze.

The price of Bitcoin could go to $1 million
What is the online currency worth? At the moment, it's valued at $340 -- but its value is strictly limited to what someone will pay for it.
This post comes from Henry Blodget at partner site BusinessInsider.
The value of the electronic currency Bitcoin has hit a new high of $340.
This is not surprising.
Earlier this spring, when Bitcoin was in the middle of its last price spike, I "raised my Bitcoin target" to $400.
This was an inside joke -- I don't have a Bitcoin target. But I was getting at a more profound point. $400 is a perfectly reasonable target for Bitcoin. As is $1,000. As is $10,000 or $100,000 or $1 million.
And as is $0.01.
This is because Bitcoin has no inherent value. It's adherents refer to it as a "store of value," but Bitcoin is only a "store of value" because, right now, its price keeps going up. Unlike gold or dollars or other things that have widely accepted utility, Bitcoin's price is determined entirely by what someone else is willing to pay for it. Right now, because Bitcoin's price is going up, and Bitcoin is in relatively short supply, people are willing to pay $340 for it. And the ever-increasing demand for Bitcoin will keep driving the price up until people don't want to buy or hold it anymore.
At that point, by the way, the price of Bitcoin will collapse. And anyone who thinks it can't collapse all the way to zero is delusional.
I have written extensively about Bitcoin.
I have explained why Bitcoin is the "perfect asset bubble."
I have explained why Bitcoin speculators are just laughing at everyone who thinks they are idiots for buying Bitcoin.
And I have explained that Bitcoin prices could go "vastly higher from here." (I first said this when Bitcoin was $90. It's just as true today, at $340.)
I also think, however, that it is highly likely that Bitcoin will prove to be a gigantic bubble, like Beanie Babies, Pogs or, yes, tulip bulbs. Bitcoin has all the hallmarks of bubbles, including:
- A good underlying story
- A sexy "new-ness" that requires some work to understand
- A small and finite supply
- A fundamental "value" that is highly subjective and, therefore, justifiable at almost any level
- A high level of risk and excitement associated with trading it
- A passionate community of early adherents who are convinced of their own brilliance and lash out defensively at anyone who dares suggest that they are, in fact, hallucinating. (Don't believe this? Diss Bitcoin on Twitter and see what happens. The Bitcoin zealouts are more aggressive and sillier than Apple fanboys.)
I have also described some of the major risks that could break the Bitcoin spell and lead to a price collapse. The biggest of these, I think, is that Bitcoin won't ever be widely accepted -- either because governments ban it or because it remains complicated and shadowy. (One of the biggest advantages of "dollars" is that they are accepted everywhere and are extremely easy to use. Bitcoin isn't.)
I do think the world is ready for a simple, global, electronic currency, and that Bitcoin has a shot at becoming that. But this success is the farthest thing from guaranteed.
Having said that, I want to be clear about something:
In the months and years before we know the ultimate fate of Bitcoin, the price could do absolutely anything.
There is no limit to the price that Bitcoin could attain.
There is no theoretical difference between a price of $1 per Bitcoin and $1 million per Bitcoin. The only thing that will determine Bitcoin prices is what people are willing to pay them. And if enthusiasm about Bitcoin continues to move beyond a small group of digerati, cryptologists, and hard-money fanatics, Bitcoin's price could go vastly higher.
How high?
It is perfectly reasonable to think that Bitcoin's price could go to $1 million.
That's not a prediction. It's just a fact.
(I have no idea what Bitcoin prices are going to do. I also don't own Bitcoin, so I don't care what the price does. And I'm not "encouraging speculation." I couldn't care less whether you buy or don't buy Bitcoin.)
So, there, I've said it.
Bitcoin is probably a gigantic bubble that will leave its early religious devotees looking and feeling like fools.
But in the meantime, Bitcoin could make them dynastically rich.
Because, yes, the price of Bitcoin could go all the way to $1 million.
More from BusinessInsider:
Many people are already rich buying Bitcoin. People consider the risk of buying but what about the risk of not buying? What if buying one Bitcoin at $300 is worth $1,000,000? That will be the best $300 ever spent and the risk of "winning" is better than a trip to Vegas or 300 lottery tickets. I have my lottery "ticket" but I am not going crazy of course. Just investing the amount I can afford to lose without losing any sleep over it.

GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOOD: *Whole Foods* to Require GMO-Labels within the next 5 Years
Whole Foods: Products will carry GMO labels
Whole Foods says all products in its North American stores will have labels disclosing whether they contain genetically modified ingredients by 2018.
The company says it's the first national grocery chain to set such a deadline for labeling foods that contain genetically modified organisms, or GMOs.
Whole Foods Market Inc. notes that it has been working with suppliers for years to source products that don't have GMO ingredients. It says it currently sells more than 3,000 GMO-free products, more than any other retailer in North America.
The use of GMOs has been a growing issue, with health advocates pushing to require labels on GMO products.

Once again that list seems completely inaccurate. Are there really more people playing CS than the updated CS:S? More people playing Halo than Halo 2? Where's Halo 3? More playing The Sims than its sequel? And RuneScape as #3? Are you kidding me?
This list is just absurd. If the Nielsen ratings system for TV is as poor as the one for games, it's no wonder that there's so much horrible crap on the tube these days.

You seemed shock that more poeple are playing the older versions of the games but not everyone can afford cutting edge computers. So I would not think that list is "completely inaccurate"
Actually CS is WAY more popular than CS:S . . . apparently some of the changes didn't go over very well with the population.
Also, Steam stats agree: http://steampowered.com/v/index.php?area=stats&cc=US
CS is played three times more than CS:S

Child Development Services
Meeting the Needs of Families
Available Child Development Programs for children from birth through 6th grade:
The Claremont Unified School District has successfully operated a Child Development Program for over 25 years. Our experienced staff provides a balanced selection of fun and enriching activities which include supervised outdoor play and organized games, art, language, music, cooking, math, science, dramatic arts, computers, field trips and nutritional snacks.
Due to limited enrollment in some of the Child Development Programs, it is suggested that parents contact the Child Development Office immediately to obtain information about the registration process. The office is located at 170 W San Jose Ave, Suite 300. You may call the office at (909) 398-0373 (se habla espanol).
School Age Child Care: Best Learning After School Time (BLAST) and the After School Community Education and Safety (ACES) Programs
The district's School Age Child Care - BLAST program is self-supported. Parents pay tuition fees to cover all the costs incurred for this school age child care service. Fees range from an amount to cover before school care only to an amount to cover before and after school care. The program provides care from 7:00 a.m. until school begins and again after school until 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday at all seven elementary school sites. BLAST is available for children from Kindergarten to 6th grade on all regular school days. A full day program is offered at selected school sites from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on predetermined days during winter recess, spring break, and summer vacation.
Limited ACES funding is available for this after school program to families whose children attend Vista Del Valle Elementary School. Low-income students whose families can not afford to pay the regular or reduced tuition fees may attend the program without charge. However, a weekly donation of $5.00 or more is suggested since the state funding only pays for a portion of the program. ACES students are required to attend the program Monday through Friday from the end of school until 6:00 p.m. ACES is available for children from Kindergarten to 6th grade on all regular school days.
State/Universal Preschool Programs (Nationally Accredited through NAEYC)
The State/Universal Preschools provide a comprehensive early childhood educational program with classes available in the mornings and early afternoons with a nutritional snack served daily. Children must be fully potty-trained and up-to-date on their immunizations to participate in the preschool programs.
The State Preschool classes are located at Sumner / Danbury Elementary School and Vista del Valle Elementary School. This state subsidized program is designed to provide preschool services to income eligible families free of charge. State preschool classes are three (3) hours long are offered in the morning or in the early afternoon on all regular school days. This program serves children from three to pre-kindergarten age.
Los Angeles Universal Preschool (LAUP) classes are located at Mt View Elementary School. This LAUP/First 5 subsidized program is designed to provide preschool services for a nominal fee to all families with Pre-Kindergarten age children who reside in Los Angeles County. Low-income families can request a waiver for the required family investment fee. LAUP classes are three and half (3 ½) hours long and are offered in the morning or in the early afternoon on all regular school days.
Family Child Care Home Educational Network (FCCHEN) Program
The FCCHEN Program provides infant / toddler child care to income eligible families that meet the state's funding requirements and need criteria. Fees are based on the family's income. Families must be working, attending school or receiving training, incapacitated or homeless. Child care is provided in licensed Family Child Care Homes in Claremont and La Verne. Most providers operate their child care businesses Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. while some providers offer extended and weekend hours, as well. The program participants provide a nurturing environment with developmental experiences and activities for children ages birth to three years old. Applications for this program are accepted year round; however, enrollment is dependent on available state funding.

TOMAHAWK, Wis (WSAU) A 67-year-old man drowned in Tomahawk yesterday.
Lincoln County deputies say David Lewicki of Tomahawk was on a pontoon boat around 4:30pm. He'd gone into the water of the Spirit Flowage to cool off and to help a dog that was in the water.
The man and the dog struggled in the water. Onlookers called 9-1-1 when he didn't resurface.
The victim's body was recovered two hours later in about five-and-a-half feet of water. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Life seemed like it was on the right path for Carol Jursik that July evening in 1979 as she jogged with a housemate.
A nationally ranked college woman fencer and possible contender for the 1980 U.S. Olympic team, Carol, 24, was a Penn State graduate student working for the summer at the U.S. Steel Corp. in Monroeville through a cooperative job program.
Carol and a friend, Michael Pierce, had jogged 15 miles together the night of July 30 before they separated at roughly 9:15 p.m. about one mile from the home, which had been converted into apartments, on Murrayhill Avenue (also spelled Murray Hill) in Squirrel Hill they shared with four other friends.
Carol continued on to the Squirrel Hill Giant Eagle supermarket on Murray Avenue at Bartlett Street while Pierce returned home. Carol never made it back. Just 10 houses away from her own front porch, neighbors walking their dog on the sidewalk of the cobblestone street found her tattered grocery bag with its contents scattered about 10:30 that night.
Another story in the Pittsburgh Press, though, reports that the cash register receipt from the bag was stamped 11:15 p.m. Pierce reported her missing and the other housemates tried to see if anyone at the store remembered seeing her that night.
After she was reported missing, police searched Schenley Park and other areas near the Oakland intersection of Forbes Avenue and Craig Street, where she and Pierce parted. Her parents, who lived in Rochester, MN, offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to her discovery.
Six days after she vanished, Dave McSwigan, an off-duty Pittsburgh firefighter walking his dog, discovered Carol's partially decomposed body between two logs and under some brush beneath the Commercial Street bridge at a remote corner of Frick Park. She was partially clad and lying face down, the Penn State Daily Collegian reported on Monday, Aug. 6.
Though McSwigan didn't know it at the time, several hours before, a woman had called police with a tip to search the general area where the firefighter discovered Carol's body. Although police appealed to the woman to come forward to provide more information, she never did.
According to a story in the News Dispatch, then-Allegheny County Coroner Cyril Wecht determined that Carol had been stabbed once in the chest. The blade of the weapon used had penetrated her heart. Because of the state of decomposition, it was uncertain whether or not she had been raped. Her jogging pants had been removed and could not be located.
Just 12 days after Carol's body was found, the body of a Utah man was found off a jogging trail off Beechwood Boulevard in Frick Park. He had suffered a gunshot wound to the head and a Swissvale man was charged in his death. The two cases were unrelated, police said.
A year after Carol's death, the Pittsburgh Press reported that police had differing theories on what happened to her that summer night. Some detectives believed she met her death at the hands of someone she knew. Others believed she was accosted by a stranger. The one thing they all agreed on was that she had been taken away by car.
A number of women were murdered in western Pennsylvania in the late 1970s, leaving investigators haunted by the possibility of a serial killer being responsible for at least some of the deaths.
On April 14, 1988, Gary A. Robbins, a Murrysville man suspected in a series of slayings and sexual assaults, forced his way into the home of state Trooper David Marker in Brothersvalley, a small town in rural Somerset County, and shot Mary Ann Marker, the trooper's wife, in the face. After a brief shootout with another state trooper along Route 219, Robbins shot and killed himself. Mary Ann Marker survived the attack.
According to a story in the Pittsburgh Press on April 19 that year, Robbins was a suspect in the deaths of women from Steubenville, OH; Reed City, MI; Bel Air, MD; as well as the sexual assault of women from Center, Butler County; and Timonium, MD. In the rental car, police found two guns, duct tape and plastic fiber rope.
Pittsburgh police were interested in the state's investigation of Robbins because he had rented a car at Payless Auto Rental in Squirrel Hill for the trip out to Somerset County. His own car was found within a block of where Carol had been abducted in the 1100 block of Murray Hill Avenue nine years earlier. Robbins once lived on Timberline Court in the same area of Squirrel Hill.
The tip from the anonymous woman about the location of the body provided police with the possibility that at least one person other than the killer knew what happened. But to this day, Carol's case has not been solved.

Will The TV Networks Make Me Money?
Ash is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
What do Americans do a lot of? Watch TV, of course! The nation spends 30+ hours watching TV every week. That's over 4 hours per day! There are companies making heaps of cash out of this habit that the nation has. Advertisers, TV networks, content producers, and more all reap the benefits of this TV watching, even if we start cutting the cable.
One of the big trends that Nielsen noticed in 2011/2012 was that we had started watching our content more on mobile devices rather than sitting in front of the TV. Despite this, I think that the TV networks will still manage to get their content in front of viewers both on TV and on a device such as the iPad. The major TV networks such as Walt Disney's (NYSE: DIS) ABC, CBS (NYSE: CBS) and News Corp.'s (NASDAQ: NWS) will continue to produce quality content while selling advertising to America's largest companies even if a technological advancement comes along.
TV Content
Disney, CBS, and Fox are three of the largest content producers on the planet. Shows like Two and a Half Men from CBS are aired worldwide. Fox has some of the great, worldwide recognized, animated brands under their wing with The Simpsons and Family Guy. Then there's Disney, their Disney channel is broadcast around the world with all the content that they produce for it. Disney shows such as Once Upon a Time also have a worldwide following.
Content costs a lot to produce on the levels that these networks produce on. Such high levels of entry into the business leave these companies atop the podium, only competing with themselves.
How Do They Make Money?
Disney, Fox, and CBS make money by airing advertisements on their networks. They also make great returns on their content investment by licensing their shows to networks in other countries, online content providers such as Netflix and Hulu, and to memorabilia manufacturers who produce tangible goods based on the shows.
What they're essentially building is a great big nest of characters, content, jokes, and images that could one day be sold on for more money. One of the great examples is that of Marvel, a company that Disney acquired. Marvel created one of the largest character and content libraries on the face of the planet. They then made sure that people knew who Spiderman and The Hulk were. Once people know the characters, and if they're loveable enough, a treasure trove of cash awaits.
Biggest Successes
All three companies have great troves of content that they could one day sell on. The aforementioned Two and a Half Men from CBS has been airing since 2003 around the world. The countless shirts, mugs, and other content from the show that has been sold has earned this show a spot atop the hall of fame when it comes to brand creation. Another CBS success is that of The Big Bang Theory. I can't count the number of times I've seen the word "BAZINGA" across the front of a shirt, a line the shows main character, Sheldon, made famous.
Fox has been hugely successful with their animated features. The Simpsons has been running for well over twenty years on the Network and has managed to surpass the 500 episode mark. I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone in the U.S. that can't name Homer Simpson. One of Homer's favorite lines "D'oh!" has actually been added to the English language, I don't think you can get more successful.
ABC has managed to create some great programs recently. Take Wipeout for example, the TV show has its own hit game on the Xbox, that game even has a sequel. How about Modern Family, a hugely successful comedy that is watched around the world. The Bachelor and Bachelorette are also watched by millions every single week that they air. ABC has also been trying its hand at online originals with the 2007 release of Voicemail.
Investment Worthy?
So, they have lots of great content but does it make these companies investment worthy? Let's take a look.
CBS is the least diversified of the bunch. Their money is made wholly from TV, Radio and Advertising with a little bit of publishing on the side. 2009 total revenues for CBS were around the $13 billion mark and had grown to $14.24 billion in FY 2011. EPS has also been growing at the company and 2012 is one of the best years yet for CBS. The current P/E at the company is 18 and the company is negatively priced to tangible book, two pretty hefty warning signals for anyone looking to invest over the long term. Debt at CBS isn't too bad as long term debt to equity sits at 0.58. The last thing to look at is the return on investment figure. Over the last year, CBS's ROI was 9.6% but the average over 5 years is -8.9%.
Fox is part of News Corp., a worldwide media conglomerate that owns a movie studio, numerous broadcasting venues and the Wall Street Journal. News Corp is expected to see some great growth in the coming years in terms of EPS. FY 2013 is expected to be a boost of 23.5% over FY 2012 and analysts expect to see FY 2014 EPS jump another 14% over the 2013 figure. The current P/E at News Corp. is on the high end at 25.59. Return on equity is at 10.51% at the company and they're running with a profit margin of 7.89%. The current yield is 0.6% and it has plenty of room to grow.
Disney is the best positioned of the three companies with their theme parks, massive bay of content and huge merchandise sales. Five year EPS growth at Disney is 6.16% per year and revenues have also seen growth of 3.36% per year over the same time period. The P/E ratio is relatively low for a company with so many prospects at 17.4 and long term debt is well managed with a 0.28 long term debt to equity ratio. The five year average return on investment is 9.4%, not too bad for a huge company.
Final Verdict
All three companies are here to stay. Picking the better one is something that will take a bit of researching time. I am an owner of Disney stock and I have been more than happy with the company's returns over the past few years. I like the look of News Corp. but I think I'd wait for a bigger pullback on the stock before buying any. CBS has some funky numbers that I think I'll be avoiding for now.

Essential Recipe: Eggless Caesar Dressing
Recipes from The Kitchn
If you're just craving a classic Caesar, here's a clean, refreshing style of Caesar dressing without egg, so it emphasizes the garlic, anchovy and lemon instead of hiding them behind a mayonnaise mask. Make a batch and keep it for a week's worth of homemade dressing. Leave the cheese out for a great meat marinade.
It's easy enough to throw together some vinegar and oil and call it dressing — I remember when I was in college and figured that one out. But what if you step it up a notch? It's not that hard to get creative with salad dressings and you might even find that you wind up with an elixir that works on more than lettuce.
When I hit on a dressing I love, I like to dredge carrots, celery and bell pepper slices through it when I'm feeling peckish, and if I'm planning ahead, I'll smear it across a chicken for a briny marinade.
Eggless Caesar Dressing
5 anchovy filets
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons sherry or red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
With a mortar and pestle, bash the anchovies, garlic and pepper. Whisk in the lemon juice, vinegar and mustard. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified. Stir in the parmesan and taste for seasoning.
Alternatively, combine all ingredients in a blender and puree until emulsified.
Refrigerate in a sealed container for up to one week. Toss liberally with romaine lettuce, croutons and additional Parmesan for an authentic eggless Caesar salad.

Sounds terrific; I'm assuming the two listings of "3 cloves garlic" is a typo. Am I correct? Thanks so much for listing a non-egg Caesar dressing; you're a lifesaver!
You can also use silken tofu to replace the eggs. I know, it was a shock to me, too. Here is the recipe I use from Good Eats. It is amazingly good - especially considering I do not normally eat tofu as part of my regular diet. It has less oil than your average caesar recipe, too.
Looks like the link got deleted, so copy and paste:
how timely, thanks Andy! I'm trying to introduce more tofu into my diet, this looks like a good one.
The Angelica's Kitchen cookbook has a terrific sea caeser salad dressing, with soft tofu, seaweed, and umboshi plum paste to take the place of anchovies. It's goooooood.
You can try it at the restaurant in NYC or
The seaweed is ribbons of the flat green stuff you roll sushi in, and smoke dulse, both garnishing the salad but important for the best tasting salad, esp the powdered smoked dulse.
That seems to be missing from the linked recipe...
Great, thanks for the article, guido! One question please, what is powdered smoked dulse? I tried looking it up but did't get much info. Nori sheets, I know (at least that!). Merci.
por nada, leeds
smoked dulse is another kind of seaweed that comes in a plastic packet at the health food store. It's a ruby color. I hear they eat it like potato crisps in bars on the coast of Ireland.
You crumble it to sprinkle on salad, next to the strips of nori...
I know this is an old post, but I wanted to go ahead and comment because I came to the kitchn in search of a caesar dressing recipe and this one was at the top of the list, so I'm sure someone else might still use it as well. First time I made it, against my better judgment (what with the anchovies and parmesan), I went ahead with the salt (only the tablespoon, not even the extra) as called for and the result was so briny I had to throw it out. The second time I made it I omitted all added salt and it was perfect. So don't make the same mistake I did and waste all those good ingredients, leave off the extra salt entirely!
Erin C, you may not have rinsed the anchovies when you got them out of the tin. That, or the brand of anchovies you used packed them in salt? In either case, I'd suggest people omit the salt and then taste, but most likely you'll find that more salt is needed.
This is how we've always made our Caesar dressing- minus the vinegar and mustard, adding more lemon juice. My Italian friend in college taught me this way and it's awesome. You can also use anchovy paste instead of fillets.
G'day! I LOVE caesar salad, true!
Now with your eggless dressing, is a BONUS for me and WILL be on my list to do!
Cheers! Joanne
Gosh, this caesar salad dressing is so delish. I can't stop looking at the photos. And I just ate a big 4th of July BBQ meal. I'm going to try this recipe soon - great idea to have an eggless one in the recipe files! Thanks for sharing!
When did people start adding Dijon mustard to Caesar salad dressing? It's much better without. The mustard gets in the way of the lemony goodness. I love my old Joy of Cooking Caesar salad dressing, that has no Dijon mustard!
i just made this--delicious, and speedy!
Just made this. OH. MY. GOODNESS! So delicious! I added two teaspoons of Worcestershire instead of the anchovies to make it vegetarian, but otherwise kept it the same! Love this! Can't wait to bring it in for lunch! :)

Bulgheroni Artist OboeBulgheroni Artist Model OboeCompany Info !!Bulgheroni instruments are meticulously produced in a small factory on the Swiss-Italian border. This small, family owned business turns out some of the worlds finest oboes and English horns. The highest quality wood, heavily silver plated keys, artistic keywork along with magnificent tone and response make the Bulgheroni instruments truly world class, but at a price that is significantly lower than comparable French made oboes. This exceptional instrument is, without a doubt, the finest value in the oboe world today.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
I fell in love with this instrument immediately, and each note I play confirms that I made a good choice. It has warm, rich, FULL sound. The keywork is sturdy and comfortable. Every note plays easily. Every note sounds fantastic. The outer case even has a large pocket which easily accommodates my reed making supplies. If you're looking for a new oboe, don't pass over the Bulgheroni just because you don't know anyone who has one. I read every review ever written on this oboe and not one person had anything negative to say. There's a reason for that! The lower price is just a bonus - the superior quality and workmanship of this oboe is what has me writing this review.
I was able to visit the Bulgheroni Factory in Pare in the province of Como Italy. I was struck with the friendly Brothers who own the factory. They are not only top notch professionals. They ooze passion for the work they do. This love for oboe making coupled with the experience and professionalism manages to make astounding oboes.
I recently purchased this oboe on recommendation from several oboe-playing friends in Europe, and I am absolutely shocked. It is, without a doubt, the best oboe I have ever played. The scale is wonderful, the tone is just INCREDIBLE...it's warm, sweet, round, and it plays like a dream. The resistance is very even, and the mechanism is impeccably crafted. The shape and sizes of the keys are ideal for my hands, the thumb rest is in a comfortable position, and the quality of the wood is indeed top-notch. It is a beautifully grained rich chocolate-brown and black, and is quite stunning to look at. (Worth noting is that the Bulgheronis offer SIX choices of exotic woods for their oboes, five in addition to granadilla.) I highly, highly recommend this oboe for ANYBODY looking for a top-of-the-line pro oboe. And it's a tremendous bargain at the price!
Recently I bought the Artist Model, and I am very happy about my new Bulgheroni. The instrument has a sweet sound. Now I can make pianissimos on the low register!!! Try this Italian brand!! You do not spend too much money like with a Loree or Rigotaut. Yes it is a piece of art.
This oboe is a very fine instrument. From the easy play in the keys to easy ability to hit the upper and lower register notes. Playing low C-Bb is very easy compared to my Loree oboe I used to have. Also the lip first key in the lower joint allows faster playing. To put it simply, everything Bulgheroni did to the Artist made the oboe a much easier and enjoyable instrument to play.

The following are the most common symptoms of stroke. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. If any of these symptoms are present, call 911 (or your local ambulance service) immediately. Treatment is most effective when started immediately.
Symptoms may be sudden and include:
Weakness or numbness of the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body
Confusion or difficulty speaking or understanding
Problems with vision, such as dimness or loss of vision in one or both eyes
Dizziness or problems with balance or coordination
Problems with movement or walking
Loss of consciousness or seizure
Severe headaches with no other known cause, especially if sudden onset
All of the above warning signs may not occur with each stroke. Do not ignore any of the warning signs. Even if they go away, take action immediately. The symptoms of stroke may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
Other, less common, symptoms of stroke may include the following:
Sudden nausea or vomiting not caused by a viral illness
Brief loss or change of consciousness, such as fainting, confusion, seizures, or coma
Transient ischemic attack (TIA), or "mini-stroke"
A TIA can cause many of the same symptoms as a stroke, but TIA symptoms are transient and last for a few minutes or up to 24 hours. Call for medical help immediately if you suspect a person is having a TIA, as it may be a warning sign that a stroke is about to occur. Not all strokes, however, are preceded by TIAs.

TEAMS: Los Angeles Lakers, Brooklyn Nets, Los Angeles Clippers
From Larry Brown Sports:
Kobe Bryant may be 34 years old, but he still has the athleticism of an 18-year-old.
Late in the fourth quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers' 92-83 win over the Brooklyn Nets Tuesday, Bryant noticed the shot clock winding down and decided to drive to the hoop. He went around Gerald Wallace who was guarding him man-to-man, and then dunked on Wallace and Kris Humphries in an electrifying finish.
The dunk was so impressive that even the opposing fans at the Barclays Center cheered in response.
Bryant finished with 21 points in the win, which gives the Lakers 10 straight victories over the Nets. Kobe has actually had some other highlight-reel dunks this season, so this wasn't his first jaw-dropping moment in the past few months.
Signing day 2/6/13 : GO GATORS!!!!!
Kobe can still do it...I like the new role he is taking ...point gaurd..leading the way..more assist...more rebounds...still getting his points and they are winning...better hope they are not healthy by playoffs or the haters going to get to keep on hating for awhile this year...
Go Lakers...
he is still the Best, i don't care what anyone says! ;)
Kobe is for sure one of the best that has ever played the game, proof is the fact that he has been able up his game on a regular basis based off his hard work! The guy is in his thirties and players in their 20's can't keep up!
tell me do you know anything that happening in life besides kobe I bet you sleep with his poster in your bed, grow up!

text: Posted Online: Dec. 08, 2012, 10:21 pm Panthers rally after fast start by Central, but Blue Devils hold on for win Comment on this story By Terry Duckett, email@example.com More photos from this shoot Photo: Paul Colletti Davenport Central's Trey Hollingshed (5) and Tyler Hoeksema (2) look on as United Township's Javen Goodwin tries for a lay-up over the Blue Devils' Tim Rummels in Davenport on Saturday, December 8, 2012. More photos from this shoot Photo: Paul Colletti United Township's Deveric Rogers looks to pass the ball around Davenport Central's Jacob Light in Davenport on Saturday, December 8, 2012. In the wake of Friday's 48-point setback to Western Big 6 Conference boys' basketball leader Rock Island, Saturday's nonconference tilt with Davenport Central had the makings of another long night for United Township. But after the hosting Blue Devils blasted out of the gate by scoring the game's first 10 points, the Panthers dug in and responded. Closing the gap to two points by halftime, UT kept on battling and took its one and only lead of the game with 3:06 left in the third quarter on a Deveric Rogers bucket. Unfortunately for the Panthers, Central countered with a solid finish to match its hot start as the Imps held on for a 50-46 victory on their home court at George Marshall Gymnasium, their first win of the season after an 0-3 start. "This was exactly what we're dealing with right now,'' said UT coach Marc Polite, whose club slips to 1-8. "We're getting great effort, the effort from our guys has been consistent, but we're just lacking in a lot of areas right now. We were in position (Saturday) where we could've taken control of this game, but we just couldn't close the door.'' After Central's Tyler Hoeksema (14 points) buried two 3-pointers in the game's first minute to spark the Blue Devils' opening 10-0 run, UT cut the deficit to 10-5 by period's end. With junior forward Rogers scoring 10 of his team-high 13 points in the second quarter, the Panthers kept nipping at the Imps' heels as a Rogers trey with 41 seconds left in the half cut the hosts' lead to 29-27. "We've talked a lot about our starts, and we'd been starting off games fairly decently,'' said Polite. "Tonight, (Hoeksema) shook free and got some early 3s, which had us on the ropes. We just had to settle down, and we did a nice job of settling down after that.'' In fact, United Township could have led at intermission if not for Central's prowess on the boards. The Blue Devils outrebounded UT 20-8 in the first half and 34-22 for the game, with Tim Rummels' game-high 10 boards augmented by seven from Javon Matthews and five apiece from Jared Harris and Jacob Light (11 points). "They did a good job of getting to the offensive glass, and had a lot of opportunities where they were getting their hands on the ball,'' said Polite. "You give a team two or three shots, and they're bound to make one of them.'' "We did a much better job rebounding and getting loose balls in the first half,'' said Central coach Craig Wurdinger. "But in the second quarter, UT did a better job of beating us to the boards and loose balls, and that got them back in the game.'' With Raymond Terronez adding 12 points and five rebounds and Javen Goodwin 10 points and five boards, the Panthers clawed back to take their first lead, only to see Central regain the edge at 37-35 on a Light bucket late in the third period. That run grew to 7-0 to put the Devils up 40-35, and although UT got to within two twice in the fourth, it could never retake the lead. "The momentum shifted back to us in the fourth,'' said Wurdinger, "but UT fought and scratched. Marc does a great job coaching them up over there.''

Replacement heifer selection, herd health, deworming update and cost management are on the agenda for the 2014 Little Red River Beef Cattle Conference on April 10 at the Cleburne County Livestock Auction in Heber Springs, Ark.
"With normal rainfall returning to Arkansas in 2013, many cattle producers are looking to return their cattle operations to production levels prior to the 2012 drought," said Tom Troxel, associate head-Animal Science, for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture. "Producers are asking the questions on how to best do that. The 2014 Little Red River Beef Cattle Conference will offer ideas to best address many of their questions and concerns."
Among the questions the conference will help answer:
For example which heifers should I select to rebuild the cow herd?
Which heifer based upon appearance, correct feet and legs, correct body type, etc. will make a good replacement female?
Herd health and an update on the newest deworming products will also be presented.
"Even though cattle prices are at historic highs, managing cow costs is just as important now as ever before," Troxel said. "Every cattle producer should know what it costs to maintain a cow."
Managing cow cost will be the third presentation.
The Little Red River Beef Cattle Conference is a joint educational effort by the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture, Ag Heritage Farm Credit Services and Farm Credit of Western Arkansas.
The conference speakers are:
A registration fee of $20 will be collected at the door. The conference is from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Visual Escapes: Travel Photography
with a Local Feel
Best of Etsy
Despite being a longtime Francophile, I've never been big into Eiffel Tower imagery (with this one exception). I much prefer subtler snapshots of life abroad, and here are nine foreign corners I found in photographs on Etsy.
For example, I love this first photo of rooftops, which are distinctly Parisian but with a less touristy feel than la Tour. Without real landmarks in sight but plenty of character, these photos give you a real feel for neighborhoods and sites.
1. Paris Rooftops by Alicia Bock, $35
2. Laundry day in Burano, Italy, by Eye Poetry Photography, $30
3. Egypt by Journey's Eye, $28
4. Another Day - Another Siesta by Jessie Pearl, $30
5. Listening In, Paris Tuileries by The Paris Print Shop
6. Barcelona by Photography by Karina, $30
7. Vik, Iceland, by Little B Studio, $30
8. Azure by Eye Poetry Photography, $30
9. Thatched Roof by Images of This and That, $29
(Images: As linked above.)
3 Comments
Great pictures ... I always try to take at least one photo showing laundry. Love the ones where the clothes are hung out by size!
the first and second are my favourite. Im obsessed with photos of rooftops as I love the lines. Please also have a look at the etsy shop I recently opened. Its travel photos as home decor - http://www.etsy.com/shop/DesignGratis
Lovely images but is it me or are the same well known photographers featured over and over again. There are many other talented photographers on Etsy.. here's a different take on travel photography http://www.henatayebphotography.etsy.com

Customer comments about Delano 69h 40w Armoire:
For many years, I thought the problems with opening the doors (the bottom of the door rubs against the top drawer) was caused by variations in my hardwood floor. During my home renovation, I asked my contract (who is very skilled with custom cabinetry) to adjust the cabinet and level it. He adjusted the doors and placed spacers under the feet (unfortunately this cabinet did not come with adjustable feet). And now I have doors that will close without rubbing against the top drawer, but, the drawers will not stay closed! My contractor confirmed that the cabinet was not built square. I have placed a call with customer service and hoping they will address this issue.

"In sickness and in health" is a vow most couples don't have to put to the test right away.
However, what happens if happily ever after, may only be weeks or days?
Fox 29's Karen Hepp met some brave couples with one simple wish: to get married.
Love and laughter are the best medicine, especially when you've been dealt a really tough hand, like Tammy and Cameron.
Wish Upon a Wedding helps grant dream weddings for couples, who have everything to live for, but just not much time to do it. A good option for couples like Lance and Tina. He's in renal failure and she has stage 4 lymphoma.
Geoff and Noelle finish each other's sentences and complete each other's thoughts and souls. The Philly couple met on a cruise and fell desperately in love, Geoff is a transplant patient, he's had 4 kidneys, and it gets tougher with each one.
"I'm thankful for the time I have with him, if that's not a lot of time or rest of our lives, I'd rather do it with him than anyone else," Noelle said.
Wish upon a wedding is the only not profit to give weddings to couples with terminal illness or serious life altering circumstances regardless of sexual orientation.
Kelly and Michelle have faced it all. Wonderful families they've blended together in the Lehigh Valley, great adventures and then the setbacks.
First, Michelle's mom got cancer and died, then her daughter, Amber, was nearly killed in a motorcycle crash, which left her right arm paralyzed. Then a driver hit Kelly head on, breaking her neck.
"I was complaining of headaches, they did a CAT scan, an MRI, that's when they found all the cancer cells," Michelle said.
Stage 4 breast cancer, metastasized in her brain, lung, bone and liver, doctors said it wasn't curable.
"It was a shocker, it was God only gives you what you can handle," she said.
It's toughest on their daughter, Mikaela, who has a form of autism. It was so important to her and their granddaughter, Nova, they get married. So Michelle brought a ring, and they started planning, but were overwhelmed by the enormity of the task with Kelly's frequent chemo treatment.
"It became harder and harder for her to get it done, actually it became stressful," Kelly said.
Then they learned about Wish Upon a Wedding, which was a blessing.
Now, a wedding planner has booked their dream venue at Penns Landing, the girls are over the moon, and everyone can take their minds off doctors and diagnosis for at least a little while and focus on a dream.
"When you find that piece of you, you didn't know was missing, now you have it, and don't know how you would be without it," Kelly said.
To take someone you love, in sickness and in health and live happily ever after, for however long that may be,just like tammy and Cameron.
The Philadelphia branch of Wish Upon a Wedding started 3 years ago. So far, they've granted 3 weddings and have 3 more in the works. All the vendors donate their services and everyone at the charity is a volunteer.
