Endurance Athletes
Candidate Bios
Mark Allen
Six-time winner of Ironman World Championship
Won 20 straight triathlons from 1988-90
Finished in the top three in 90 percent of his career races
Inducted into Ironman Triathlon Hall of Fame in 1997
Brenkus says: "Allen holds the record for the fastest marathon split ever in the Ironman World Championships, running the final leg in 2:40:04 in 1989."
Bjorn Daehlie
Won eight Olympic gold medals in cross-country skiing, the most golds for any athlete in the Winter Olympics
Won 12 Olympic medals, most by any competitor in Winter Games, while competing in three Olympics
Won 46 World Cup events while competing on the circuit from 1989-99
Won downhill event in Kicksled World Championships in 2011 at age 43
Brenkus says: "Daehlie's successes can be attributed in part to his exceptional VO2Max (his body's capacity to utilize oxygen): 96 ml/kg/min, one of the highest ever recorded and nearly 15% higher than Lance Armstrong ever achieved."
Patrick Makau
Holds world record for a marathon at 2:03:38
Winner of 11 major half marathons
Personal best in half marathon is 58:52, 29 seconds slower than the world record set by Zersenay Tadese in 2010
Member of IAAF World Half Marathon Championship teams from Kenya in 2007 and 2008
Brenkus says: "Makau has won more than 65% of the marathons in which he has raced, and never finished lower than fourth place. Over the course of each marathon, Makau produces nearly 1400 joules of energy a second, roughly equal to the pulling power of two horses."
Diana Nyad
Recorded fastest time ever swimming around Manhattan Island
Held record for longest swim in history -- 102.5 miles -- from 1979-97
Attempted Cuba to Florida swim in August 2012, at age 62, making it halfway before abandoning due to jellyfish stings
Reached the top 30 among U.S. women squash players
Brenkus says: "In her record-setting 28-mile swim around the island of Manhattan, Nyad averaged more than 3.5 miles per hour. To put this in perspective, that means she was swimming, on average, every 100 meters in about 1 minute, 4 seconds, or just 12 seconds off the women's long course world record for 100-meter freestyle."
Pam Reed
First woman to be overall winner at Badwater Ultramarathon
Owns U.S. Track & Field women's record for longest 24-hour track run
Current female American record holder in six-day marathons
American female masters record holder in 24-hour run, covering 139 miles at age 42
Brenkus says: "Competing in what's arguably the world's toughest footrace, the Badwater Ultramarathon, Pam Reed endured heat up to 130 degrees as she ran the length of more than five marathons through Death Valley. Reed also battled sleep deprivation when she ran 300 miles, nearly the distance from Boston to Philadelphia, in just over three days."

Day or night this solution applies easily and is clear and non-irritating . Don't be fooled by it's gentleness, as it really does the trick to dry up the blemishes, without harsh drying of skin or causing the blemish to percolate beneath the treatment. My 13 year old son , after much persuasion, gave it a try and now uses it daily. His skin has cleared up incredibly fast. Absolutely worth the price. Truly the best blemish treatment we have ever used. I wish it had been available during my teens, but it works wonderfully on my occasional adult breakout.
This stuff really does take care of blemishes pretty quickly. I like to put it on before bed and it really does take care of skin issues.
To be honest, I never believe in products like this - I have always been a toothpaste person when it came to zits.
Fortunately, I do not suffer from acne, however, I do suffer from the occasional zit and/or cyst. This product has been a god send. Does it work miracles? As close to a miracle as possible. It is $30, but aside from its efficacy, it lasts forever. You won't need to repurchase for at least a year.
I would highly recommending giving this a try. If it doesn't work out for you, you can always rely on Birchbox's amazing return possibly.
I was hoping this product would really work, the reviews are pretty good, but this product did not work for me.
Doesn't seem very effective on acne, just dries out the face. Be careful how often you use it. Using every couple of days seems to work fine but any more than that leaves me with flaky skin.
This product didn't really work for me...and I do think it was a waste of money. The directions were weird. I thought it would help but i was mistaken unfortunately.
I agree with what another reviewer said, sometimes it makes zits disappear overnight, other times I feel like it doesn't do much. I found it strange that when I first got it, there was too much product in the bottle to use the dropper top without overflowing. That is one aspect of it I really like; helps in getting the product directly where you want it. I feel like it helps overall, but I'm conflicted on whether or not I'd buy again. It will last for a long time though, so I won't have to decide for awhile.
this product broke me out like no other and smelled terrible. i mean, it was gag-inducing. but the fact that it had a medicine dropper was nice
I really wanted to like this product. It had great reviews and seemed to be everything I was looking for! Unfortunately, it didn't seem to do much to get rid of my blemishes. I really like the bottle and the convenient dropper applicator; this keeps germs from getting everywhere and making blemishes worse. When the product dries on your face/blemish, it has a rubbery texture and starts peeling off if you touch it at all. A lot of times I would put it on my acne spots before bed but when I woke up in the morning, a lot of the product had rubbed off my face. Maybe that's why it didn't seem to work very well? If it was reformulated to stay on your face longer it may help improve the quality and success of the product.
I found the smell of this product extremely unpleasant. Did not help with breakouts. Also, unpleasant stinging upon application.

Kansas Supreme Court Slams Kline
Overland Park, KSToday, the Kansas Supreme Court roundly criticized Johnson County District Attorney Phill Kline for his actions and those of his subordinates in his political crusade against Comprehensive Health of Planned Parenthood of Kansas & Mid-Missouri. In one of its strongest rebukes, the Courts said: Kline exhibits little, if any, respect for the authority of this court or for his responsibility to it and to the rule of law it husbands. His attitude and behavior are inexcusable, particularly for someone who purports to be a professional prosecutor. It is plain that he is interested in the pursuit of justice only as he chooses to define it."
We are very pleased by the Courts decision, said Peter Brownlie, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri. The Court confirms what Planned Parenthood has said all along: Phill Kline is a zealot pursuing a lawless prosecution and misusing the peoples trust to advance a radical anti-choice political agenda. We are saddened and angered by the travesties recounted in the Courts opinion, and we are grateful the Court rebuked him for his disgraceful acts.
For more than four years, Planned Parenthood has fended off legal assaults by Phill Kline, which began when he was Kansas Attorney General. Mr. Kline continued his witch hunt after the voters threw him out of the Attorney Generals office, when he was appointed Johnson County District Attorney. The reasons Kline cited for investigating Planned Parenthood never masked his true intentto wage an ideological battle from his elected position of power at the expense of Kansas taxpayers.
Kline has repeatedly demonstrated to women, and to the Kansas Supreme Court, that he cannot be trusted, and that he places his personal political ideology ahead of protecting private medical information. The Court went so far as to say, [d]espite Kline's repeated invocations of the importance of patient privacy, his conduct evidences little or no respect for it."
This is and always has been about politics, said Brownlie. Mr. Kline is a political zealot pursuing his anti-abortion agenda. The Supreme Court decision plainly recognized this. We now look forward finally to resolving the baseless criminal charges filed by Mr. Kline as part of his outrageous personal agenda.
Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri is a vital resource for our community and for women and families throughout Kansas and Missouri. We are a trusted source of health care and education for thousands of women, men, and children. For more than 70 years, women have relied on Planned Parenthood to keep themselves and their families safe and healthy.
Planned Parenthood Federation of America is the nation's leading sexual and reproductive health care advocate and provider. We believe that everyone has the right to choose when or whether to have a child, and that every child should be wanted and loved. Planned Parenthood affiliates operate more than 880 health centers nationwide, providing medical services and sexuality education for millions of women, men, and teenagers each year. We also work with allies worldwide to ensure that all women and men have the right and the means to meet their sexual and reproductive health care needs.

Mama-to-be may be worried about how to make the transition as smooth as possible for her canine baby — and there's lots she can do to help. Click through to check out this list of five things to do before introducing your dog and new baby to ensure a stress-free start to a lifetime friendship! Source: Thinkstock Take Your Pet to the Vet What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Schedule an appointment with your veterinarian. Make sure that all of your pet's vaccinations are in order — and spay or neuter your furry baby, if you haven't done so already. Experts say that this reduces the risk of health complications associated with reproductive systems — and pets that are spayed or neutered are calmer and less likely to bite! Source: Thinkstock 1 / 5 Train Your Pet What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If your canine baby has behavior issues, this is the time to resolve them! Enroll your pup in behavior classes and train him to remain on the floor until you invite him on your lap — since you don't want your pup to jump on your lap unexpectedly, startling your baby. Source: Thinkstock 2 / 5 Prepare Your Pet For Baby's Noises What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Your pet is a creature of habit — and a new baby in the house is going to turn his world upside down. Start helping your pet get accustomed to baby-related noises as early as possible for a smooth transition. Play recordings of a baby crying, turn on the mechanical infant swing, and use the rocking chair on a regular basis before baby arrives to help your pet adjust. Source: Thinkstock 3 / 5 Make Arrangements For Pet Care What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Plan ahead! Labor can sometimes catch expectant parents off guard — but you should make sure that your pet gets proper care while you're off delivering your baby. Your pup needs someone to regularly feed him, walk him, and give him some much-needed attention while mama is away. Source: Thinkstock 4 / 5 He Can Smell It What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Your pooch's most important sense is his sense of smell — he learns all about the world around him with the help of his nose. Sprinkle baby powder and/or baby oil on your skin so that your pet becomes familiar with the new smells. Once baby is delivered, have your partner bring home one of your newborn's hospital blankets for your pet to sniff — so he won't be so curious when the baby arrives at the house for the very first time.

I'm looking for a way to stop any restore and update on my jailbroken iphone 4.0.1 from the device's side.
For older versions, to stop updates I've seen where you can do
"chmod a-x /usr/libexec/software_update"
but there is no /usr/libexec/software_update even though Services.plist has this as a ProgramArguments under com.apple.mobile.software_update.
I'm hoping there is an easy way to just change the permissions on either a directory or file to cause the update/restore to error out in iTunes, but I'll listen to anyway you may know of.
In a little program I'm being notified when the USB is attached and detached so if you know anything I can do in code would help also. Like if a certain notification happens do something, etc. I can make a change when attached to usb and revert the change when detached.
Thanks in advance.

Fantasy Impact: The Montreal Canadiens have traded winger Sergei Kostitsyn to the Nashville Predators for Dan Ellis and Dustin Boyd. Future considerations are also involved in the deal - basically, if a team signs a player, they give up a late round draft pick. All three players need a contract by July 1.
The Predators get: A very skilled, but moody winger. An Alexander Radulov-light. In a defensive system like this one, his numbers would be capped at 65 points. But he will have every opportunity to stick in the top six. An opportunity he wouldn't have in Montreal. I would optimistically pencil him in for 47 to 51 points.
The Habs get: One of the best 1A/B goalies in the league and a solid third liner with upside. Ellis is not a legitimate No.1 guy, but he has shown that he can be very solid when playing 25 to 50 games. Boyd is excellent defensively and has shown offensive talent at other levels. Talent that he was never able to show in Calgary and later Nashville. He could be a thirty-point player on a checking line who can sub onto a scoring line in a pinch.
Fantasy Players Impacted: Carey Price owners should be pleased with the move. If the Habs sign Ellis, and indications are that they will, then they won't be going after an Evgeni Nabokov or any other proven starter. Price will be the No.1 and he will have a strong No.2 pushing him. This will go 52-30 split and Price will have first dibs at being the guy who starts 52.
Kostitsyn injects offense into the Nashville lineup and can play either wing. His arrival will push Joel Ward to the third line once and for all and could hurt the PP time of JP Dumont, who seemed to fall out of favor with the team down the stretch. For Mike Santorelli, he will need to steal this job from SK if he wants on the roster. Clearing out SK opens up more room for youngsters like Benoit Pouliot and Max Pacioretty.
Fantasy Players this helps, in order (assuming all three sign):
1. Price
2. S. Kostitsyn
3. Pouliot
4. Pacioretty
Fantasy Players this hurts, in order:
1. Mike Santorelli
2. Ward
3. Ellis
4. Dumont
martin gaouette said:
he is a good players but a great troublemaker IF he can put this problem behind him nashville will be happy with him .
and for Ellis and Boyd (if they sign) thats will be graet for my habs a good second goalie and a great third line players

That's just cooky.

Santo aka Ross 10019 said:
Do you have a source for that Dobber? Would be GREAT news for the Habs if they could get Ellis signed at a reasonable cap hit but I find it difficult to see how they can manage it. The kind of money they can afford (no more than say $1.75M per year) is probably not going to be enough for Ellis, especially given the Quebec tax hit - it would be a regression for him and he would find himself in the same situation hockey-wise as he was in Nashville, only in a bigger hockey market. wouldn't it make sense for Ellis to at least test the market, and maybe Philly signs him for say $2.25M to be the #1 guy for the next 3 years? Only plus that the Habs have going for them is that Ellis, like all of the other many FA goalies this year, have the bad memory of Biron's situation last year and may prefer to strike a deal on reasonable terms prior to July 1st.

The National Bureau for Economic Research declared that the recession that began with the first quarter of 2008 officially ended June 2009. The group's Business Cycle Dating Committee, made up of seven economists, listed below, decided via a Sunday conference call.
The current members of the Business Cycle Dating Committee are: Robert Hall, Stanford University (chair); Martin Feldstein, Harvard University; Jeffrey Frankel, Harvard University; Robert Gordon, Northwestern University; James Poterba, MIT and NBER President; James Stock, Harvard University; and Mark Watson, Princeton University. David Romer, University of California, Berkeley, is on leave from the committee and did not participate in its deliberations.
Here's the Wordle version of the press release.
And if you want to see the whole, gorey thing, click here.
Quack, quack
The NBER managed to end a lot of bar bets by defining what a duck is. Check out this selection from the press release.
In determining that a trough occurred in June 2009, the committee did not conclude that economic conditions since that month have been favorable or that the economy has returned to operating at normal capacity. Rather, the committee determined only that the recession ended and a recovery began in that month. A recession is a period of falling economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales. The trough marks the end of the declining phase and the start of the rising phase of the business cycle. Economic activity is typically below normal in the early stages of an expansion, and it sometimes remains so well into the expansion.
The committee decided that any future downturn of the economy would be a new recession and not a continuation of the recession that began in December 2007. The basis for this decision was the length and strength of the recovery to date.
The first paragraph, in a nutshell, describes the business cycle. The second paragraph, technically speaking, ends all double-dip bets, since the NBER decreed that the recession is over and that the next one will be its very own. In short, there can now be no double dip since a double dip technically occurs before a recession ends.
It doesn't matter what one calls it, though, if we dip back into decline in the next several quarters it may not fit the letter of the law, but it certainly will the spirit of it.

I am very familiar with Canature and I have been to their manufacturing facility in China. They make some great stuff, but there valves do not compare to a Fleck or Clack valve. If he said he was going to get you a Clack valve, or if his website or literature showed you a Clack valve, demand he remove the Cantaure valve and reinstall a new valve. The Canature valves are the lowest cost units we can buy that maintain some quality standards, but I certtainly would not compare it to Fleck or Clack. Also make sure he did not use the Canature bottom screen, these have yet to pass even our simplest quality tests. The good thing is the valves are basically interchangable, the bad thing is, he is unlikely to change the valve. You got yourself a problem on this one.
Of course he will claim it is as good, they have a longer waranty etc. A hyndai has a longer warranty than a BMW, it does not mean the Hyuindai is better. How much did he charge you? I have a major problem with dealers selling these units for the same price as they would sell a top tier brand, it is only adding $50 to their total profit margin, not worth it to most of the more experienced and knowledgable dealers.
Good luck.

American Samoa:
Issues Associated with Potential Changes to the Current System for Adjudicating Matters of Federal Law
GAO-08-655: Published: Jun 27, 2008. Publicly Released: Jun 27, 2008.
Additional Materials:

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
American Samoa is the only populated U.S. insular area that does not have a federal court. Congress has granted the local High Court federal jurisdiction for certain federal matters, such as specific areas of maritime law. GAO was asked to conduct a study of American Samoa's system for addressing matters of federal law. Specifically, this report discusses: (1) the current system for adjudicating matters of federal law in American Samoa and how it compares to those in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI); (2) the reasons offered for or against changing the current system for adjudicating matters of federal law in American Samoa; (3) potential scenarios and issues associated with establishing a federal court in American Samoa or expanding the federal jurisdiction of the local court; and (4) the potential cost elements and funding sources associated with implementing those different scenarios. To conduct this work, we reviewed previous studies and testimonies, and collected information from and conducted interviews with federal government officials and American Samoa government officials.
Because American Samoa does not have a federal court like the CNMI, Guam, or USVI, matters of federal law arising in American Samoa have generally been adjudicated in U.S. district courts in Hawaii or the District of Columbia. Reasons offered for changing the existing system focus primarily on the difficulties of adjudicating matters of federal law arising in American Samoa, principally based on American Samoa's remote location, and the desire to provide American Samoans more direct access to justice. Reasons offered against any changes focus primarily on concerns about the effects of an increased federal presence on Samoan culture and traditions and concerns about juries' impartiality given close family ties. During the mid-1990s, several proposals were studied and many of the issues discussed then, such as the protection of local culture, were also raised during this study. Based on previous studies and information gathered for this report, GAO identified three potential scenarios, if changes were to be made: (1) establish a federal court in American Samoa under Article IV of the U.S. Constitution, (2) establish a district court in American Samoa as a division of the District of Hawaii, or (3) expand the federal jurisdiction of the High Court of American Samoa. Each scenario would present unique issues to be addressed, such as what jurisdiction to grant the court. The potential cost elements for establishing a federal court in American Samoa include agency rental costs, personnel costs, and operational costs, most of which would be funded by congressional appropriations. Exact details of the costs to be incurred would have to be determined when, and if, any of the scenarios were adopted. The controversy surrounding whether and how to create a venue for adjudicating matters of federal law in American Samoa is not principally focused on an analysis of cost effectiveness, but other policy considerations, such as equity, justice, and cultural preservation.

Finding time to kick back and relax is a luxury for most busy women these days, so doing something special for yourself when you get a few minutes of down time is a must. A great way to unwind and help your complexion out at the same time, is to purchase beauty products like a face mask to use during these special moments.
You might assume that using a face mask is as simple as applying the product and letting it sit for a few minutes, but in reality, there are ways to get even more out of the application, Shopping Lifestyle reports. Here are a few rules to stick to when enjoying your next facial mask:
Prep your skin
The first step in having a spa day at home is to thoroughly wash your face ahead of time using a gentle, yet adequate cleanser. Investing in an Elemis skincare product like the Elemis Soothing Chamomile Cleanser might be a suitable option. This mild face wash helps to calm your skin thanks to its milky texture, and removes oil, pollutants and makeup without drying your complexion.
Don't be afraid to apply a thick coat
When your skin is soft and pure, it's time to apply the face mask. A mask like the Elemis Fruit Active Rejuvenating Mask could be just what the doctor ordered. This product contains strawberry and kiwi extracts that work together to repair your dull complexion.
Make sure to apply a thick layer of the mask to reap the benefits locked inside the cream. You're sure to notice a difference whether you use it after a long day at the office or before a major event. Even though you might want to get lost in the heavenly fruit scents of the mask, it's important to stick to the time suggestions, the news source reports.
Feed your complexion
After using a spa facial mask, your skin is sure to feel ultra soft and fabulous. This is because the mask worked to remove dead skin cells and other imperfections, leaving the pores rejuvenated and ready to absorb nutrients and moisture, according to the publication. It is during this time that you should enhance your skin even further by applying a hydrating skincare product.
La Thérapie Crème Régénérante Regenerating Night Cream for radiant skin is sure to boost your complexion. This facial moisturizer contains alpha hydroxy acids that helps nourish the skin while minimizing fine lines and wrinkles along with skin imperfections.

Why would the founder of one of the country's most successful microbreweries give money and advice to another microbrewer trying to break into the industry?
Doesn't that just mean for competition for him?
Jim Koch, founder of Sam Adams, doesn't see it that way. The man that brought microbrew to the masses says that when he talks to entrepreneurs in the beverage and restaurant industry, he sees himself, nearly 30 years ago, when he first went into business. "I didn't know how to set up a payroll, make a sales call, negotiate a lease," he told CNBC.com. "What could I really use but didn't get? Loan money, and good advice. I learned by trial and error."
He started the "Brewing the American Dream" project to help others in the restaurant, beverage and hospitality industries avoid the trial and error that can add up to costly mistakes and closed businesses.
The program, which began four years ago as an outgrowth of a community service day he did with Sam Adams employees, has given loans in amounts ranging from $2,000 to $25,0000 to 150 small businesses — and counseled nearly 3,000 — in the New England region over the past four years. This week, the program is rolling out nationally, with an additional $1 million in lending capital from microfinance lender and partner Accion, along with more opportunities for start ups to access business advice. (To learn more about the program, go to the Sam Adams website and click on "passion.")
The goal, said Koch, is to "get these businesses to a place where they don't need us. Where they become creditworthy, and are able to find banks are willing to lend to them."
It worked according to plan for Brooklyn Homebrew, a supplier to home brewers and small commercial brewers in Brooklyn, N.Y., that was in need of cash for upgrading its facilities.
"We had been in business for about three years, and any time we tried to get a loan, no bank would come near us."
"We had been in business for about three years, and any time we tried to get a loan, no bank would come near us," says Danielle Cefaro, co-owner, along with her husband, Benjamin Stutz. Brooklyn Homebrew received a $10,000 loan last August, which it used to update the store with a larger refrigerator and new air conditioning system, and expand its warehouse, a project that is ongoing.
The couple paid back the loan in January, and just six weeks ago received its first bank loan. Paying back that $10,000 in full, she says, helped them secure the bank loan.
Starting a business is always tough, says Koch, no matter the economy. "The economy goes up and down. Small business is always tough, but there is always opportunity for success." And, he admits, not every business that has participated in "Brewing the American Dream" has made it. But most pay back the loans — they have a 95 percent payback rate, he proudly states — and that money is then lent out to other businesses.
My experience is, if [a business is] offering a product that is giving real value to consumer, and if they can figure out how to produce and deliver that product to the consumer in cost-effective way, they can make it."
Of course, "shipping money out the door," says Koch, only goes so far. It's the advice on how to use the money, that has helped businesses thrive. As the national program rolls out, he and his team can't possibly be everywhere. Moderated online forums, webinars and podcasts will take the place of some face-to-face meetings. But as the number of people who have gained experience through the program grows, says Koch, the idea is that they will then go out into their communities and advise even newer businesses.
"We've learned how to assemble good coaches from our core people, while bringing in people from the local community who are excited about helping small businesses grow."
And maybe nurture some Sam Adams retailers?
"There is no connection," says Koch. "Of the 150 loan recipients — fewer than 10 are pubs or restaurants. Those few recipients make their own selection of beers. So it's completely up to them whether to carry Sam Adams or not."
Gary Hemphill, managing director, information services at Beverage Marketing Corporation, says, "He is truly an American success story. He built the company from the ground up. I think he sees kindred souls in what these entrepreneurs are doing." Besides, says Hemphill, from what he knows of Koch, "I think he'd say, 'If I can create better brewers creating better beer, I'm taking the industry to a higher standard.' I think it's his way of staying true to his roots."
Koch says as much.
"When I'm coaching, I find that these new businesses all have the same problems I had to face." It keeps our entire company in contact with our entrepreneurial roots," he said. "We're just like them. We're a small business that made it."

"I didn't even know they offered a prize," she said. "I thought it was such a nice thing for them to do for the artists, to honor them in such a way for their work."
Cameron said she wants to publicly thank members of the Jacksonville Arts Council, who sponsored the event, for their decision. She said money and time are involved for the artists who create their work, take it to the square and set it up, and for those on the arts council to reward the artists makes it worthwhile.
Cameron makes felt jewelry and does portraits in graphite and colored pencil. She carried a lot of prints she had drawn of Oxford Lake Saturday and sold many of them.
"Those were really popular," she said. "People seemed to really like them, probably because of the trees and the lake in the drawings. I did them in pencil."
Cameron likes to do portraits of pets.
She said anyone wanting portraits or felt jewelry for Mother's Day can contact her at email@example.com
Seclonia Morris and Alpha Buford came in second for their quilts. Rusty and Bobbie Parris won third place for their flower arrangements, homemade soap and jellies.
Honorary awards were presented to Joy Walker for photography, Mike and Susan Proper for knitting and crocheting, Susan Bragg and Celeste Snider for jewelry and wreaths and Cathy Abernathy and David Patty for jewelry, hat bands, finger and inkle loom weaving and native American items.
From 9 a.m.-3 p.m. those attending the fair were treated to square dancing and the talent of Cheyenne Hammond, Voice of One and A Quarter Short.
Members of the Jacksonville Arts Council are Zula Hollis, president; Emily Lipscomb, vice president; Constance Sims, secretary; Martha Dobson, treasurer; Klaus Duncan, Fran Byrd and Sydney Long.
Members said that although not quite as many vendors showed up because of the predicted bad weather, they consider it a success and are looking forward to sponsoring it again next year.

Bottled Water
To find information about the topic listed on this page, please visit the MouthHealthy.org page about Bottled Water.
For six decades, the American Dental Association has continuously endorsed the fluoridation of community water supplies and the use of fluoride-containing products as safe and effective measures for preventing tooth decay.
The majority of bottled waters on the market do not contain optimal levels (0.7–1.2 ppm) of fluoride. And, some types of home water treatment systems can reduce the fluoride levels in water supplies potentially decreasing the decay-preventive effects of optimally fluoridated water.
For more detailed explanations, read the online version of ADA's Fluoridation Facts booklet. It is a 71-page comprehensive encyclopedia of fluoridation facts with over 350 scientific references. Order your copy of ADA's Fluoridation Facts (Item No. J120) from the ADA Catalog.

Under the three-year agreement, Wise will supply Wise potato chips, Wise kettle chips and Cheez Doodles® to all Red Sox games at Fenway Park. Wise will have prominent right-field wall signage in the area of the stadium known as Pesky Corner and will sponsor a new feature segment on the main Red Sox scoreboard. The company will have rights to use the Red Sox logos and team marks on its products and in promotional efforts throughout New England.
Red Sox "Wise Player," David Ortiz - the designated hitter for the team and a major contender for the American League's Most Valuable Player award in 2006 - will partner with Wise on a variety of promotional efforts.
As Presenting Sponsor of the Lindos Sueños program, Wise joins the Red Sox in bringing together young men from the United States and the Dominican Republic to work together on community service projects in the Dominican Republic. The program is supervised by former baseball star Jesus Alou, the current Director of Dominican Operations for the Red Sox. Participants in the program also receive coaching and instruction at the Red Sox Baseball Academy in El Toro, Dominican Republic.
"This is a very exciting new relationship for Wise," said Ed Lambert, CEO and President of Wise Foods, Inc. "The Red Sox have a thriving baseball tradition, and we are pleased that Wise will have a strong and supportive presence with the team in Fenway Park and through special events in the community such as youth batting clinics and Red Sox pep rallies. We are thrilled to welcome a player of David Ortiz's talent and accomplishment as the "Wise Player." We are also honored to be a part of the Lindos Sueños program and look forward to helping this innovative and valuable cross-cultural program grow over the next three years.
"We are pleased to welcome Wise Snacks to the Red Sox family and into our home at Fenway Park," said Sam Kennedy, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "Great snacks are a tradition at baseball games, and this agreement makes sure Red Sox fans have a great selection of delicious Wise products to choose from."
Marcos A.

You should have your water tested at a lab. The Lowes kit tells you nothing except that something is down there. Not all bacteria are harmfull. Clorinating is a good idea though for a dug well.
After a heavy rain my well water got turbid . I purchased a maytag/g e homespring off that big auction site . It was new in factory box . I installed a bypass so I could get water without going through the filter . Before I ran any water through the filter I used a bacteria test like lowe's sells . There was quite a bit of stuff growing in the petrie dish .
My well has about 30 feet of water in it . It's only about 44 feet deep . I put 2 cups of clorox in the well & using a garden hose followed the clorox with 10 to 15 gallons of water . I then opened faucets , hot & cold , one at a time till I smelled the clorox . I then let the sysyem set for about 24 hours .
I then opened all faucets untill all smell of clorox was gone . I then closed the bypass valve & opened the valves on the inlet & outlet of the filter . The only part of the system that didn't get clorox was the new pipes going to the filter & the filter itself . I completed the system & started running water through the filter a couple weeks or so ago . We have had a couple hard rains since then & my water stayed crystal clear . I just completed my second bacteria test & there was some growing in the petrie dish but not near as much as before .
The homespring filter is supposed to remove bacteria . Should I clorox the well again & let the water run through the filter & new pipes ? Did I do something wrong the first time I put clorox in the system ? Chlorine is not supposed to harm the filter . Actually one method of cleaning the membrane in the filter says to use clorox . The homespring has a carbon prefilter in it . Will that affect the sanitation of the system if I clorox it again ? For what I paid for the homespring I am happy with it if it just keeps my water clear . If I have to add something after the filter for bacteria what would you suggest ? U V or something else ? Thanks in advance .
You should have your water tested at a lab. The Lowes kit tells you nothing except that something is down there. Not all bacteria are harmfull. Clorinating is a good idea though for a dug well.
Still waiting for your thoughts on putting clorox in my well again & wondering if the carbon prefilter will make the clorox ineffective ?? Should the amount of clorox I used the first time & the method I used killed all the bacteria in my system ?? Thanks
A couple of points.
You may have bacteria in the pieces around the filter that were not sterilized. With the carbon filter out you should sterilize the filter, and the rest of the system again using your original methodology. The filter should be included in sterilization. Any piece of material touching the water can contaminate it. It could be the test media. Do one from the same manufacturing batch without adding water. Did you use a container to put the water in the test medium.
It is possible you are getting contamination while doing the tests by airborne bacteria or not handling things properly.
Did you open faucets on ALL the circuits in the house? Did you start with an empty bladder tank and water tank? If not the chlorine may have been too diluted. The only water that is starting with chlorine is the 30' in the well. It will start to dilute as soon as you start pumping. Depending on down the hole and tank flow patterns, results may not have been what you think. You might want to add chlorine as pumping occurs. Empty the tanks and do it again.
The filter WILL remove all bacteria. It is either broken or it is something you are doing after the filter. Remember if there is a little bacteria it will grow just like in the test and propagate through your system.
To All,
I have just posted a new method of killing well bacteria that may be of interest. Please see
Look for my post near the bottom of the page. There are too many related threads to monitor, so please post any questions or replies to that thread.

Hi There,
I am very desperate and quite curious about your stainless rod and copper bacteria elimination solution. My perfect well since 1991 became contaminated with what I believe is iron bacteria as a result of me changing my own pump. I put the 190' of hose and pump on the damp mossy ground to change the dead pump. A month later the water started smelling and tasting swampy and has gotten rpogressivlty worse since. I do not want to be the DIY idiot that further ruins my once perfect well and water. I am told to shock the well and it may or may not take care of the problem. Even them I'm told its a short term solution and I have effectively ruined the well and will have to shock it continually forever more. Your solution however has given me hope. I would be forever grateful for a little more info. Will this work with a well that is alrewady contaminated and smelly, like mine? How far down in the water do I need to put the rod and will the 12 feet work in a 195' well with an average water yield of 40 GPM? Should I first shock the well the try the rod? Does it really work? Its hard to believe you and your friend have come up with this solution and have not tried to capatalize on it like the majority of folks would do...I'm like you however, help where I can! It makes sense as when I had algae growing on my roof, I was told to use copper strips at the peak, which I did and over the period of a summer woth of rain, the algae disappered. Any other help you would care to offer would be most appreciated. Your designer friend Mike does not accept PM's. Cant say as though I blame him. Thanks again, Rick
I never saw any stainless steel in a shower rod, but chrome plated steel. SS drills okay, but chrome does not. You'll have to go the metal shop and choose one of 3 or 4 alloys of SS available. I don't know where chrome is on the scale, but winemakers often hang copper rods or sheets in a wine barrel to rid of hydrogen sulphide. You can also buy copper sulphate in liquid form.
You should note that in a post in this thread, the developer asks that you post questions to a specific other thread.

People love chicken wings.
Chef Matthew Tremblay tosses a batch of wings at Sea Dog Brewing Co. in South Portland. Tremblay will compete in the second annual Hot Wing Cook-Off Challenge on June 22.

Wings cooked up by Chef Matthew Tremblay of Sea Dog Brewing Co.
Shawn Patrick Ouellette/Staff Photographer
WHEN: 4 to 8 p.m. June 22; wing eating contest at 6 p.m.
WHERE: Ocean Gateway, Commercial Street, Portland
HOW MUCH: $20 per person; $4 drafts and full bar (21-plus event). Tickets available ar all Bull Moose locations.
INFO: hotwingchallenge.com or call Dan at 420-0413
If there were ever any doubt, consider that last year the first Hot Wing Cook-Off Challenge, at the Marriott Residence Inn in Portland, sold out 400 tickets on a Thursday night and had to turn away 75 more hungry chicken wing fans at the door.
This year Dan Bolduc, the organizer of the event, has moved it to a Saturday, June 22, at Ocean Gateway. "Our capacity is 800," he said. "I'd like to do 600."
Tickets for this 21-plus event are $20, and that buys you all the wings you can eat. The challenge is a fundraiser for Make-a-Wish Maine, and the goal is to raise $6,000 to make a child's wish come true.
The challenge is happening on a wildly popular weekend for food events. The Festival, the international craft beer gathering sponsored by Shelton Bros., will be making beer geeks swoon on Friday and Saturday. The annual Taste of the Nation dinner, the largest fundraiser of the year for Share Our Strength Maine (see related story), takes place Sunday at Wolfe's Neck Farm in Freeport.
Bolduc said he purposefully planned to have the Hot Wing Cook-Off Challenge the same day as The Festival so that when people are done drinking beer at the Portland Co. Complex they can wander down to eat some wings. The Festival sessions are 1 to 5 p.m. and 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. Sat urday; the Hot Wing Challenge will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. (There will be beer at the hot wing party too, of course – $4 drafts of Shipyard, Sea Dog and Coors Light.)
New this year will be a hot wing eating contest at 6 p.m. There are only 10 spots available, and so far only one is filled. Javiar Gorriti, a local sports radio host, has agreed to take one of the seats. There's an entry fee of $20 for the wing eating contest, but the person who eats two pounds of chicken wings the fastest will win $100. And don't worry – they'll be using a mild sauce for the contest.
Up to 30 restaurants are expected to participate in the Hot Wing Cook-Off this year. They'll be preparing wings in four different categories: People's Choice, Best Traditional Wing Sauce, Most Creative Wing Sauce and Hottest of the Hot.
Congress Street Bar & Grill won the People's Choice award last year with their Spicy Thai Barbecue Hot Wings, and chef Brian Kowtko says they'll probably enter those in the competition again this year. "I think we're going to roll with the same ones, the defending champs," he said.
Last year, the restaurant won a plaque and bragging rights. This year, a $600 cash prize is up for grabs in the People's Choice category. The other three categories come with a $300 cash prize.

Built to last.
The Westcott softbox is rated one of the best in the industry for high-quality components and rugged design. The durable shell and double layer heat-shield fabric offer heat resistance up to 1000 watts.
Solid steel assembly rod.
Soft box rods are designed to flex and are constructed from solid steel.
Heat vents.
Tent-style heat vents allow for additional ventilation when used with hot lights. However, the heat vents are not required to be used when using hot lights. They are only optional as the fabric shell is designed to withstand the rated maximum wattage.
Durable corners.
The weakest area of a softbox are the corners where the rods are placed. Therefore, Westcott provides a double layer of loop tape over this section to protect against softbox rods protruding through the fabric.
Seven-year warranty.
We are so confident in the construction of our Pro Signature softboxes, we back them with a seven-year warranty.
Removable inner baffle.
The removable full stop inner baffle helps to soften and spread the light when used in conjunction with strobes and hot lights. (NOTE! When using fluorescents, we recommend this inner baffle is completely removed. Due to the diffuse nature of the fluorescent lamp itself, it is not needed to achieve even and diffused lighting and many times can flatten the light too much.
Removable outer diffusion.
A wide 2" layer of loop tape allows the front diffusion panel to either be recessed in for more direction and control or placed flush with the edge of the softbox for a wider lighter spread. In addition, this wide loop tape area provides for the attachment of accessories such as egg-crate grids.
Attach grids.
Egg-crate grids can easily be attached to the softbox using the 2" loop tape.
Included carry case.
Each softbox includes a carry case with handle strap.
Perfect paired.
When used with a Westcott Spiderlite series head no adapter ring is needed, saving you time and money!
