UPDATE: Fatal Park Hills fire leads to double-homicide investigation
The St. Francois County Sheriff's Office is now investigating Monday's fatal fire near Park Hills as a double homicide.
Firefighters arrived about 4:30 a.m. to find the home on Halter Lane fully involved. Authorities say flames were too intense to try to attempt a rescue.
Firefighters later found the body 50 year old Stanley Halter on a back porch and that of 46 year old Tammy Halter in the kitchen. The couples children were not home at the time of the fire.
Authorities aren't releasing the couples cause of death, only saying that the autopsies gave them reasonable cause to pursue a homicide investigation.
Park Hills is about 65 miles south of St. Louis.

Small jet crash at Santa Monica Airport called "unsurvivable"
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Rescuers and investigators were working amid the smoldering wreckage of a private jet and the hangar it hit after landing at a Southern California airport, but they did not expect to find any survivors from the flight from Idaho with an unknown number aboard, officials said.
"This was an unsurvivable crash," Santa Monica Fire Department Capt. John Nevandro said at a media briefing hours later at Santa Monica Municipal Airport.
Because the hangar collapsed in flames around it and a crane would be required before the plane could be reached, investigators had been unable to determine how many people were aboard the twin-engine Cessna Citation designed to hold eight passengers and two crew members, officials said.
It had taken off from Hailey, Idaho and landed in Santa Monica when it went off the right side of the runway at about 6:20 p.m. and struck the hangar, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said.
The blaze did minor damage to two other buildings and destroyed the hangar.
"It was a total loss," Fire Department spokeswoman Bridgett Lewis said.
News helicopter footage showed all but the tail of the plane trapped under a collapsed section of the small building.
Investigators could not immediately say whether anyone was inside the hangar.
A plume of smoke rising above the airport could be seen in the twilight sky over the populous neighborhoods surrounding the airport in the hours after the crash.
After hearing a loud boom, several neighbors ran toward the airport and saw the fire.
"It was very, very terrifying, it was sad to see just so much smoke, and the building collapse and the loud boom, you just put it all together and it's scary," witness Alyssa Lang told KABC-TV.
Witness Charles Thomson told the TV station the plane appeared to make a "perfectly normal landing" before veering off course.
The jet, a Cessna 525A manufactured in 2003, is registered to a Malibu, Calif. address and its corporate owner, Creative Real Estate Exchange, is based in Birmingham, Ala., and Atlanta, according to FAA public records.
Phone messages left after hours at the real estate company's two offices were not immediately returned.
The National Transportation Safety Board would take over the investigation as is routine in such crashes.
Santa Monica Airport, located in the coastal tourist destination known for its trendy bars, restaurants and wooden-pier carnival, is home to many private jets, many of them used by wealthy Southern Californians from the entertainment industry.
The airport in Hailey serves Idaho's Sun Valley resort area, which is a frequent destination for many celebrities, and the rich and powerful alike.
Driver spins off road, hits and kills man working in yard
Highway 94 was closed in both directions between H and Church Rd. for several hours while the Missouri Highway Patrol investigated a fatal accident.
A man attending to some yard work in St. Charles County was killed this morning after being hit by a car that spun off the roadway. The accident happened shortly after 7:30 on Highway 94 at Church Road. The Highway Patrol says the car spun off the roadway, hit an embankment and flipped over several times, striking the victim. He died at the scene. The driver was injured and transported to the hospital. Authorities did not say what caused the driver to lose control.
No charges have been filed and the names of the victim and driver have not been released.
Fatal accident shut down I-44 on Saturday
A fatal accident shut down Eastbound I-44 on Saturday.
A man driving a pickup truck ran into an empty police car that was parked there to divert traffic after an earlier accident. The truck ricocheted into a tractor trailer. The pickup then burst into flames.
The driver of the pickup truck died at the scene.
Charges filed for fatal double shooting
One man faces charges, including first degree murder, for allegedly shooting two men Tuesday night.
Police say 20-year-old Ralph Cato approached three people as they sat on the front porch of a home near Fairgrounds Park and started shooting. The shots hit two men, critically injuring one man and killing the other. The victim has been ID'ed as Charles Moorehead.
Prosecutors issued six felony charges against Cato, ranging from murder to assault and armed criminal action.
UPDATE: One dead, one critical after north city shooting
One man is dead and another is in critical condition after a shooting in North St. Louis Tuesday afternoon.
Police say about 4 p.m, a man approached a home near Fairground Park. He reportedly yelled at the people sitting on the front porch and then fired shots at them.
One man was hit in the chest. He later died. Another man was hit in the back. He's hospitalized in critical, but stable condition.
Police say a 20 year old man has been taken into custody in connection to the shooting. Police say a disagreement over a debt led to the confrontation.

Caruso 30 Molecular Ion Steam Hairsetter
SofyaUnited StatesHairMedium BrownColor Treated HairNot What I Expected...I was so excited about getting this do to all the positive reviews. Unfortunately this did not deliver for me. Left ridges on top, didn't stay in place, curls only lasted for an hour or two, didn't give me additional volume on the roots only indentation marks from the curlers. I even got extra box of Xlarge curlers, all went back today.
I wished they worked, back to the drawing board..

PattyIdahoHairWhiteDry HairFine or Thin HairThe Total PackageI have fine but thick white hair. I was looking for a roller system so I could get away from my hot irons. I researched and read and looked for a long time, read reviews, waited and then finally ordered the Caruso.
I wash my hair, let it dry and when it is totally dry either by air or by hair blower, I use my Caruso. It is small, easy, heats up immediately. I then set my hair and wait 15 to 20 minutes for it to dry, take it down, brush it out and voila, beautiful curls. They last until the next shampoo. I thought when I read that the first time, hummmm, but it's true. The curls last the entire 4 or 5 days before I wash it. I don't have to set it, use a hot iron to touch it up, nothing. This system works as described. The curls are soft and no ends sticking out, no drying like a curling iron produces, I love this product.
I love everything about it. It makes a clicking noise when set on ionic but really, who cares. It is nothing. Because I have extremely hard water in my area, I use distilled water in mine. This is not an issue because we have a distilled water maker to use in other machines because of our area. And it only uses about an ounce of water during the time I use it.
Two things in my life I'd repeat, marrying my husband and buying this product.1 out of 1 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

LisaHairBlondeFine or Thin HairWorks Better Than Hot Curlers But Doesn't Last Near As Long As PromisedI first off just have to start by saying that I waited over 3 weeks for my order as one item was back ordered. It was a bit disappointing to be ready to get the product, only to place my order and that they didn't expect it in stock for 2-3 weeks. If it was longer they would cancel my order. I know this doesn't pertain to the product itself, but felt it was part of my experience.
I read all the reviews and thought I'd found my solution for my extremely fine, thin and stock straight hair. I was a bit disapointed.
I love the idea of this product to have curls that last until your "next wash". It claims to set in the curls so strongly that they don't come out until you shampoo.
I have been using the product for about 2 weeks now, and I would still have to use it every day. As with all products my curls come out very cute right when I undo them, but within an hour they have dropped considerably, and within a few hours, only waves are left.
I have extremely fine, thin hair too. And I bought an extra pack of the petite rollers. So my whole head was done in petite and a few small rollers to get tight, springy curls.
The first time I used it, I steamed the rollers way too long and my hair didn't dry nearly in time. When it says 3-4 seconds it means it. If you steam too long you'll have to leave them in forever for the hair to dry underneath and have any curl.
I've tried steaming the shield and not steaming the shield with no difference. I've tried the bigger and smaller rollers and the release of curl happens with all of them. I've tried adding more setting time, using a hair dryer to help "set" the curl all with no difference to the curl disappearing. I even tried the spray styling gel on each lock of hair as I rolled it. Tried hairspray, and no hairspray after. No difference.
My other issue with it is for some reason my hair gets stuck around the foam rollers and can become very tangled and difficult to remove. Changing the amount of hair on the roller didn't seem to help, there still seems to be stray hairs and small locks of hair that become really tangled.
While as I mentioned in my title, the curls last somewhat longer than hot curlers or a curling iron (for me those last 15 minutes) but still not even a whole day. I am a bit disappointed as I really thought this was the product I had been searching for as it had all these great reviews.7 out of 7 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

JudithNYCHairDark BrownRelaxed HairChemically Treated HairBye Bye Heat DamageThis steamer is a lifesaver! Voluminous bouncy curls all day long!! It is easy to use, works quickly (curls usually set in 5-10 mins), and curls last all day. I very rarely use my flat or curling irons anymore, which saves me from heat damage and was a huge selling point for me getting a Caruso. Buy it. You'll fall in love.5 out of 5 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

MindyHairDark BrownNormal HairFine or Thin HairAwesome!You would think these steam rollers don't curl well because they are not hot at all. I have fine hair (a lot) and it's normal/to possibly dry depending on the day but I've been lazy on weekly deep conditioning so this is most likely my fault :D
I have tried them on day old hair, dry hair, and also hair that's still a little wet after the shower and the curls are very curly each time.
Only thing I have to say is if you are looking for more natural curls then you definitely want to use this with longer hair. My hair is a little over shoulder length and I have Shirley Temple hair after leaving them in my hair for 11-12 minutes.
I'm sure there's a way to make the curls more relaxed either leaving the rollers in for a shorter amount of time or separating the curls with your hands (although with my hair when I do this it gets seriously pouffy and frizzy). I don't use any hair products while styling expect for some heat protection spray before blow drying and my hair starts to die down around 7 hours. However I should add I don't care about my hair once it's done. I take naps .. walk in the rain... put it up and back down in the car... and it's fine. It just looks subtly curly at the end of the day.
Random Note - If you use the "Ionic Steam" setting the steamer will make a rapid high pitched clicking nose whereas the regular "Steam" setting will have no noise.
Both settings still make my hair curly maybe ionic is a little hotter but I think it's just placebo with me.6 out of 6 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

AdeleKentuckyHairGreyNormal HairColor Treated HairChemically Treated HairI Like The Kind That Takes The Salt In It.Years ago I had Richard Caruso steam rollers that called for a small amount of salt to it put in the bottom with the water. I really liked this product . When I ordered a set that said" No salt to be added" this set didn't hold curl as well. Do any of the Richard Carusco steam roller sets allow salt now?????????

S R.Washington, DCHairBlackFine or Thin HairThick or Coarse HairSecret Weapon To Work Out And Still Look Fab!I simply adore this product! I must admit, like others, I too, was a skeptic. However, since the price alone is lower than a salon visit, why not! Writing reviews are not my niche, but BOY do I love reading them - live by them! LOL... but it was due to the reviews that I purchased this lovely device, so I would like to gladly help another doll out there if I can! I am black with natural hair. I have NO idea what kind of grain I have and there are a multitude of them, so my apologies that I can't be of much help there. I will say that my hair takes on the appearance of a wet cotton ball after cleansing. I will also add that humidity and rain will metamorphous my hair into a fun looking helmet hazing, bar fight (did not win) look - lol. My hair hits just below my ears, it isn't thick but it's not thin either and I cannot get away with two strand twists (too thin) or wash n' go's (not curly -- hence why I ADORE this product)), because I'm also working out! I work out consistently three days a week and with this device, I can feel confident and cute with various styles and not a heat damaged, plucked chicken look which is a major plus in my book. Flashing: wrap it up... okay (now you see why I do not like writing books, I mean reviews (lol). When I first tried the product, my hair was already straightened via blow drying and flat ironing (and I don't have "body" kind of hair - it's sort of limp and doesn't "wrap" well. I went from shoulder shrug ear length/ Peppermint Patty to "Va va, did he just wink at me!?" kind of hair that actually has body... all of this FROM STEAM! Ow! LOL. I then pin curl my hair with bobby pins and wear a scarf (lightly). The curls dance for me the next day but it feels good that I can come home from an intense workout and blow/air dry and use the Caruso and BAM - back in business! So... is this product for you? I think that you should definitely try it! Why... because from taking it out of the box, reading the instructions to actually setting and styling my hair, I timed in under :30 minutes! Is your mouth agape... mine was! Simply an awesome product which also reduces frizz and can withstand a workout! Lastly... (I promise (lol)) - yes, I use the ion feature which has a clicking sound. So what... I turn on a Pandora station, crank it up and rock it out!10 out of 11 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

KaleighHairDark BrownDry HairFine or Thin HairGreat Curl, But Didn't Last Long With My Hair (need To Experiment Still!)I have long, thin, straight hair that doesn't hold curls well unless I have a hairdresser do it.
I purchased the caruso 30 molecular ion steam hairsetter and was excited to see what it would do. It took me about 12 minutes to put all of the curlers in the first time. I had a hard time for a couple of them that got caught in my hair but I think I'll get better with practice. I thought I would be annoyed with having to put each curler on the steamer but it didn't bother me at all. The ticking sound on the ion setting was loud at first but then I got used to it. I only used about 10 curlers on my long hair. This is something I'll change next time. I think I'll use smaller amounts of hair per curler/take the time to do it. I used all of the petite curlers and several of the next size.
While putting on my makeup and picking out my outfit I let the curlers set for 15 minutes. I used the hair dryer for about 1 minute, hoping to set the curl more. I used no product before putting in the curls or while I took them out. As I took them out, my hair was SUPER curly. Really pretty, soft, bouncy. Loved it. My husband was pretty excited to. I flipped my head over, and used my fingers to piece the curls the way I wanted. Then I sprayed my hair quite a bit with hair spray. I'm not sure if the spray weighed my curls down or not, but I feel like I absolutely need hair spray.
About an hour after taking the rollers out, my hair started to sag a little. After about 2 hours by hair was wavy (I still liked it) but it just wasn't curly anymore. The next morning when I woke up, it had pretty dull waves.
I am going to experiment with these curlers. This is a great product, but it definitely didn't keep the curl for days. I am going to purchase some herbal essences body envy volumizing shampoo and conditioner. I think I'll also buy a mousse that is supposed to help curls (put on before I dry my hair). Then I'll use more rollers this time and try using a little less hair spray. We'll see how that works! I really like that these curlers don't dry out/kill my hair like my straight iron does. I always end up burning myself when I use a curling iron!18 out of 19 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

One year removed from losing its setter, who Flagtvedt referred to as "the quarterback of the team," juniors Cassy Walsh and Annie Braun are fighting to take over as the new signal caller. Braun was the backup setter last year.
With the Raiders' leadership or leader left anonymous before the season opener Friday in the 23rd Annual Las Vegas Invitational Women's Volleyball Tournament, fourth-year starter Moriah Maluotoga, an outside hitter, could assume the role of head honcho.
Maluotoga earned Honorable
Mention recognition her freshman year and second-team honors her sophomore season before joining the first-team last fall.
"She's really looking at how she wants to lead the team," Flagtvedt said. "I think she's really stepped it up during practice, getting the girls to play as a team."
Each season presents varying road blocks, but the 2013 season has welcomed the Raiders with road spikes.
One of the team's four seniors, middle blocker Madison Funk, was diagnosed with mononucleosis or mono and missed school all of last week. Flagtvedt said there is no timetable for her return but optimistically hopes Funk is into the second week of the illness, which she was told could take up to six weeks to recover from.
"Maddie [Funk] is a huge part of our team as a returning middle. Having that hole there is tough."
Junior Samantha Bailey is expected to fill Funk's void.
The recent smoke and poor air quality in the region has only added insult to illness. The team has been sharing the gym with the football team and the soccer teams that have been forced inside by the smoke.
"It's hard because we definitely need the gym to do our stuff. (Sharing facilities) isn't something we all want. It's just something we have to deal with and make sure each of us has a chance."
The volleyball team's practice was cut short Monday because of a scheduling conflict with the gym, but despite the now revolving door that is the gym's, Flagtvedt said the teams are not butting heads.
With the shortened practice, the team used the rest of its practice time to set goals. The players wrote them on individual pieces of paper that now hang in the team's locker room.
"I think that was beneficial because we were all able to get on the same page."
Athletic Director Ron Coombs has taken over the title of gym scheduler. Flagtvedt applauded his efforts.
If Reed is able to jump the 2013 campaign over the road spikes (build a jump perhaps?) Flagtvedt said her goals for the team are simple. One year after finishing as a regional semifinalist and two years after finishing state runner-up, she is not solely focused on shaking the "runner-up" title.
"Just to definitely gel as a team. Obviously with girls teams, the less drama the better. Just playing hard every single game, we have, I think a tough side this year so there is not a game where you can just not play 100 percent."
But even the humble-speaking coach could not help but mention the postseason.
"Obviously you want to go to regionals and do well there, but that is definitely a long term goal."
And speaking of tough sides, cross-town foe Spanish Springs, brought home the state title last fall. But with a grin, Flagtvedt sincerely said there are no feelings of animosity toward the Raiders' rival.
"The seniors they had on that team were phenomenal … In their case I think the best team did win. They were a really good team."
Spanish Springs won both matches against Reed last season. With a defending state champion thrown into the inter-Sparks rivalry, the Reed-Spanish Springs matchups could become must-see.
"The motivation is always there just because they are our rivals, and probably a little more so because yeah, you want to beat the team that won state the year before."
Reed plays at Spanish Springs Oct. 8 before hosting the defending champs Oct. 31 in what could be a meeting with substantial playoff implications.
In preparation for the Cougars, and the four other teams that happen to be in the High Desert League, several of the Raiders have participated in club volleyball as well as open gyms. The open gyms were used to help girls work on timing while they played on varying teams.
For the fourth straight year, according to Flagtvedt, the team participated in conditioning workouts at the Elite Boxing Club in Reno. The workout facility is run by former University of Nevada-Reno volleyball player Ashley Smith. And it is working.
"I have noticed since we have been doing it consistently, when we get to four of five game matches, I just don't see that we look as fatigued as we did before we started."

Andy Reid and Kevin Kolb, together again? In 2011, Reid's Philadelphia Eagles sent Kolb to the Cardinals in exchange for cornerback Dominique-Rodgers Cromartie and draft picks. Reid, whom the Eagles fired Monday, has a planned interview with the Cardinals on Thursday, and NFL.com's Ian Rapoport cited a source with knowledge of the process in reporting part of Reid's pitch will be: "I can fix Kevin Kolb." Kolb signed a six-year, $63.5 million contract with the Cardinals in July 2011 and is due a $2 million roster bonus in March, in addition to $9 million in salary. ... [Kolb] has played in just 15 of 32 possible games in two seasons in Arizona. Despite that, Rapoport reported the Cardinals would like to keep Kolb, if possible. (NFL.com) Comment
A New Year only marks the passing of more time. Following the Los Angeles Lakers' 103-99 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on New Year's Day, Kobe Bryant had a simple answer for what has been plaguing the 15-16 Lakers this season: their age. "'Cause we're old as s---," said the 34-year-old Bryant when asked why a lack of energy has been a problem for L.A. all season. "What do you want? We just got to figure out how to play when we don't have that energy. We got to change things up a little bit defensively. We got to figure out what we want to do offensively, figure out what we want to do on nights when we don't have those legs or have that energy." ... "You just saw an old damn team," Bryant continued. "I don't know how else to put it to you." (ESPN Los Angeles) Comment
Merely bringing up the name makes for lofty praise. Louisville defensive coordinator Vance Bedford sees a lot of Tim Tebow in Jeff Driskel. Gators senior running back Mike Gillislee, who has played with both quarterbacks, sees even more in store for Driskel than the player considered by many the greatest Gator. "Tim Tebow is a great quarterback, I don't want to take nothing from him," Gillislee said Sunday as Florida prepares for Wednesday night's Sugar Bowl. "But I think Driskel is going to be a lot better." ... Bedford said Driskel will be "a concern" for his defense when the No. 3 Gators and No. 21 Cardinals square off in the Superdome. "You see a version of Tim Tebow in him," Bedford said. "He's big. He's strong. He's fast. He's athletic." (Orlando Sentinel) Comment

CFB rules committee tabled 10-second rule proposal, sources told @ESPN. Oversight panel will not vote on rule ThursdayFrom Brett McMurphy So there you go. The proposed 10-second rule for allowing substitutions is not going to happen. It's technically not totally dead, but it's not getting a vote either.
"I don't know where y'all get these reports. I don't know where y'all get your information, but I've already commented on all of this stuff," Saban said at his Wednesday press conference. "There's nothing new or different that's ever happened. I'm very committed to the University of Alabama. Love being here. Talk about it before, don't need to talk about it again."Nick Saban has to deny interest in Texas again I know fans of a lot of programs get anxious when there's talk of their coach possibly leaving. Well, all of this business with Saban is proof that nearly every good coach is not immune to talk of a jump elsewhere. If no one has an eye on your head man, that's when it's time to worry. As for Saban, I don't think he's going anywhere. I do, however, get a kick out of him getting angrier and angrier with each time he's forced to issue a denial of something. Hopefully the potential stability of a new AD being named at Texas won't end all of the rumormongering.
"The time is ripe to cheat. There's no policing going on."Under Mark Emmert, NCAA enforcement has gone from bad to worse - College Football - Pete Thamel - SI.com
"You tell the SEC when they can learn to read and write, then they can figure out what we're doing," Gee said, when asked by a questioner how to respond to SEC fans who say the Big Ten can't count because it now has 14 members.Gordon Gee, who also said many, many other stupid things
Will's got a plan. Will coached under the devil himself for seven years. I only did three. He did seven. And his DNA is not any different than NickTim Davis, who coaches at Florida, discuss his time and Will Muschamp's time under Nick Saban. There were further shots later
SEC commish Mike Slive said SEC/ESPN press conference to announce SEC Network will be May 2 in AtlantaFrom Brett McMurphy I have a feeling a delay this long (from April 16) has less to do with allowing enough time to pass from the awful events in Boston that postponed it in the first place and more to do with find a day that all of the VIPs could reschedule to. More than enough time has passed now, but many who will attend are busy people.
Not official until Sunday, but Johnny Football's going to Disney World. Capital One Bowl will pick Texas A&MFrom Brett McMurphy This makes complete sense. Texas A&M hasn't played a bowl in Florida since the 1978 Hall of Fame Bowl (now Outback), so it will be a new destination for fans. The team will also probably have the reigning Heisman Trophy winner running an exciting offense. It makes perfect sense from a bowl committee's perspective. It also means that the SEC Championship Game loser will tumble down the bowl lineup if it can't finish third in the BCS ahead of Florida (which probably won't happen).
Breaking: Georgia WR Michael Bennett tore his ACL yesterday and is out for the rest of the season, per UGA.From Seth Emerson on Twitter This is news you never want to hear. Georgia has had the best passing attack in the conference so far this season.
Rogers Redding, NCAA ref boss, says rule requiring players to sit a play for helmet off has not cut number of helmets flying off in games.Tweet from Ray Glier. All the new rule has done is get people to talk about the new rule. At least the new kickoff rule is working as intended.
"Last year we weren't coached very well. We weren't as smart as players as we are this year with a change on defense." McNeal said. "Last year, we put on kind of a clown show, a lot of guys not doing their work and not doing their job. This year, we just detailed our work."Brutal Honesty Demetruce McNeal is much happier with this year's Auburn defense than last year's. You could argue they still put on a bit of a clown show in allowing 410 yards and 28 points to ULM, but who's counting?

Traditional roles are blurring. Reliability and maintenance has blurred to include equipment asset management, capacity assurance, asset utilization, and availability engineering. Although the fundaments of the game are still important, some of the rules have changed, and we must adjust our game if we expect to win.
Some winning strategies can be found in books and articles covering the latest business philosophies and techniques. They contain ideas that can be adapted to the world of equipment reliability, maintenance, and asset management.
Some interesting approaches can be found in a book that I have been studying recently. It is called Blur: the speed of change in the connected economy, by Stan Davis and Christopher Meyer from Ernst & Young's Center for Business Innovation.
The authors contend that changing business behavior, which they term Blur, is driven by three forces: Connectivity, Speed, and the growth of Intangible value. They discuss the issues in the book and outline them on www.blursite.com, noting that the line between products and services is blurring (think of consulting companies providing software products and software companies providing consulting services). The authors wrap up with a section on 50 Ways to Blur Your Business. Here are a couple of items that caught my eye:
6. Manage All Business in Real Time: Stop making decisions based on what happened last week, or even this morning. Get a grip on what's happening at this instant, so the right adjustments can be made without delay. Almost always, this will require planting sensors and other feedback mechanisms throughout your operations...
27. Don't Start with Your Customer: The wisdom of the late industrial era was always to start with what the customer needed and backtrack to which products and services those needs called for. That fit when the customer already understood the need and the product & In Blur, the technical change is happening so fast, your product must educate the customer & and the customer must educate you. You can't afford the time delay to put something new in front of the customer. Instead, start with what technology will make possible, codevelop it as fast as you can with the customer, and be flexible and adaptive enough to adjust it according to customer needs as you go. As in software, the first release is your take on things. The customer enters the feedback loop and starts to influence release 2.0 and beyond.
Sounds like a strong case for condition-based maintenance and a call to get started. MT

If Sergio Kindle is driving a car it's quite possible that the safest place to be is in the middle of the road. However, when he's charging hard on the football field you won't want to be anywhere around him because he's one of the Big 12's hardest hitters.
In addition to the game changing kickoff return against OU he also hauled in 11 receptions (a record for the series) for 112 yards and a touchdown earning him the right to be called a Sooner Killer.
When all is said and done Gerald McCoy should be the best defensive lineman to come out of OU since Tommie Harris.
How impressive was Dez Bryant in 2008? He and teammate Kendall Hunter as Oklahoma State's first sophomore All-American position players since 1985.

Customized payment plans on your personalized treatment plan.
Awesome staff and great services! – I have received 6 laser tattoo removal treatments here from Katie and Nicole. They are so friendly and informative and really know what they are doing. I have also had a few other procedures and treatments here and I love their work and prices are great! HIGHLY recommended!
Thanks for your kind review. We aim to continue to give you the best service possible.
professional, caring staff and top of the line equipment – I have used photofacials/IPL treatments to treat small veins on my face since 2002. I have recieved the treatments from 3 doctors in the Salt Lake and Park City areas and Light Touch Laser's technician Nicole administered the most knowledgable and thorough treatment thus far. Nicole added the v-beam laser to the IPL treatment for the larger veins and it worked perfectly. One day after the procedure I am very pleased with the results.
At other facilities I have paid as much as $500 for this exact treatment. I only had the mid face (cheeks and nose) treated yesterday for less than half of that price.
Great customer service + thorough selection of lasers+ well trained staff = Beautiful skin!
Best anywhere! – I have been a client for two years, and I go to the clinic frequently for treatments. I highly recommend Light Touch. Medial assistants like Katie are extremely knowledgeable and have made every experience comfortable. The results are also amazing.
The guys a sicko. – If you like a creepy, wrinkled, big bellyed old guy oogling and drooling over you and making sicko comments, Dr. Rhudy is your kinda doctor. Hes a lech and his front desk looks and acte like it. Compared to other spas, hes the least professional doctor i've seen. He made a couple of lewd comments that my friend who came with me last time freaked out about. Hes such a sicko.
This sounds to me like a disgruntled former employee or a personal matter. This is clearly not an objective review.
Great Staff, Great Facility...Great Experience! – Dr. Rudy is grea! He is very knowledgeable and friendly. I went in after having problems with laser service at another local medical spa and he was able to offer guidance and take care of the problem. Everyone I talked to was helpful and very nice. I love it there. This will be the only place I will use in the future. The facility itself is beautiful and very relaxing. Overall it was a great experience. In fact, as soon as I got to my car I called my mom to let her know how great it went and how much I loved it!
I love this place! – i always look forward to my appointments at light touch. the girls are so friendly. i love my tech and Dr. Rudy seems like a really down to earth guy for a doc. they charge less than the last place i used to go but it's the same results - only the staff at light touch is a lot nicer.

Taronga Western Plains Zoo would love to encourage students to ride or work to school, or on the weekends with their families as it has extremely positive benefits for both health and the environment. With this in mind, we have decided to tackle the very complex issues relating to climate change by addressing one very simple behaviour change, walking or riding where possible, instead of using the car. Whether your students would like to ride for rhinos, peddle for painted dogs or cycle for Sumatran tiger, come to the only Zoo in Australia where you can ride your bike.
As part of your Zoo visit, your class will visit the Education Centre for a 45 minute workshop and learn about climate change in relation to some of our iconic native species. We will discuss the Zoo's current conservation campaigns and how students can influence behaviour change in their families and school communities. Your students will then be able to explore the Zoo by bike. Your students will have access to Ipads to use with your class so that your students are able to collect images to inspire their writing back at school. Programs will be available throughout the day. Students will need to bring hats, sunscreen, water, morning tea and lunch. Helmets and bikes will be included.
Stage/age Targeted
The workshops are aimed at Stage 2-4
If you are interested in this program, please contact us on 02 6881 1433 or firstname.lastname@example.com regarding a date.
Cost is $12.00 per student and includes entry to the Zoo. As part of the program you will also receive free bike hire for students valued at $15 each. Minimum group size is 20 participants.

KbpsShort for kilobits per second, a measure of data transfer speed. Modems, for example, are measured in Kbps. Note that one Kbps is 1,000 bits per second, whereas a KB (kilobyte) is 1,024 bytes. Data transfer rates are measured using the decimal meaning of K whereas data storage is measured using the powers-of-2 meaning of K. Technically, kbps should be spelled with a lowercase k to indicate that it is decimal but almost everyone spells it with a capital K.

Christmas, as it is celebrated in Italy, has two origins: the familiar traditions of Christianity blended with the pagan traditions predating the Christmas era.
The greatest feast of the ancient Roman Empire, Saturnalia became one of the most popular Roman festivals. It was marked by tomfoolery and reversal of social roles, in which slaves and masters would switch places with masters serving their slaves. Schools and courts were closed, and the whole community would give itself up to feasting, gambling and drinking. It was also a time for exchanging gifts, particularly of wax candles (also known as cerei) and earthenware figurines known as sigillaria.
Saturnalia just happens to coincide with the Christmas celebrations of the Advent. Consequently, Christmas fairs, merry-making and torch processions, honor not only the birth of Christ, but also the birth of the "Unconquered Sun." "Natale," the Italian word for Christmas, is literally the translation for "birthday."
A delightful, but rapidly disappearing tradition in Italy, is the ushering in of the coming festivities by the piferari (pipers) or zampognari. They descend from the mountains of the Abruzzo and Latium playing inviting and characteristic tunes on their bagpipes, filling the air with anticipation for the joyous celebration to come.
Italy never adopted the Christmas tree as a symbol of the Christmas season. The Nativity set or creche is the focal point of the Italian Christmas celebration. The creche display denotes the true meaning of Christmas.
Christmas Eve is a time for viewing Italy's artistic and elaborate manger scenes/creches. They consist of figurines, in clay or plaster , of the infant Jesus, Mary and Joseph. An ox and ass are nearby because legend has it that they warmed the child with their breath. It is around this basic focal point that individual artisans create their own intricate landscapes. There may be grottoes, small trees, lakes, rivers, the lights of "Bethlehem" in the background, angels hung from wires, and occasionally, even local heroes. The most beautiful Cribs are set up in churches. There is often a contest between churches of the same town for the best Crib. People go from church to church to view and compare the Cribs and displays.
Precepe figurines:
Another tradition is the burning of the Yule log, which must stay alight until New Year's Day. This, again, is an example of pagan and Christian blending. The pagan belief explains the purifying and revitalizing power of fire, and that with the burning log, the old year and its evils are destroyed. Christian legend tells how the Virgin Mary enters the homes of the humble at midnight while the people are away at Midnight Mass and warms her newborn child before the blazing log.
Amidst the general merrymaking and religious observance of Christmas Eve, Christmas tapers (long slender candles) are lighted and a Christmas banquet is spread. On Christmas Eve, Italians across the world celebrate the coming birth of Jesus Christ with the Feast of the Seven Fishes. Because Catholics traditionally do not eat meat on important holidays, fish is usually the protein source. The number seven might represent several things:
Seven days of creation
�Seven is the number of perfection in the Bible
�Seven deadly sins
�Seven is the number of sacraments in the Catholic Church
The number itself is often subject to change, too, depending on whom you ask. Three (for the three Wise Men or Trinity) to upwards of 13 (Jesus plus 12 disciples) dishes featuring fish are commonly eaten in Italian households on Christmas Eve.
One of the fish dishes served on almost every table is baccala, a dried fish that takes a few days to prepare. Eel, considered a delicacy by many Italians, often makes the list of fish dishes, too. Other options might include:
Capitone (eels) on Christmas eve is a tradition common to various regions, Friuli, Veneto, Comacchio in Emilia Romagna, Naples and Apulia. It is fried in Naples, grilled, baked or stewed in other places. North of Rome a traditional dish may be pork, sausage packed in a pig's leg, smothered in lentils, or turkey stuffed with chestnuts.
Common throughout Italy are the Christmas sweets: Cenci--Italian Bow Ties, Grandma Helen's Struffoli, Steve's Panettone for Bread Machine (cake filled with candied fruit), Torrone (nougat), Marzipan, Candied Almonds, Spumetti (Chocolate-Hazelnut Meringues), Roast Chestnuts and Italian Chocolate and Nut Cake (Panforte) made with hazelnuts, honey and almonds. All Christmas sweets, as a rule, contain nuts and/or almonds. Peasant folklore theorizes that to eat nuts favors the fertility of the earth and aids in the increase of flocks and family. In ancient Rome, honey was offered at this time of year so that the new year might be sweet.
Of Special Note...
Befana, is a legendary female gift giver known to Italian children for almost two thousand years. She was active at Christmas time and made her visit on the Twelfth Night or Epiphany.
The story is told that Befana, a very old and decrepit woman, refused to interrupt her household duties long enough to accept the invitation of the Magi to accompany them on their journey to find the Christchild.
It seems the Magi needed a guide in their search and asked Befana to help them find the way; but she refused to leave her warm and immaculate house of which she was very proud.
However, after the Magi had left, Befana had a change of heart and at dawn went in search of the Wisemen. She had prepared a basket of food for the journey and added toys and gifts for the Christ Child. Search and inquire as she might, she was unable to find the Wisemen; so, she distributed her gifts along the way.
As years passed the story grew and Befana now resembles a witch with a broom to fly and visit on Epiphany. In addition to her basket of goodies she also carried a cane and a bell. The cane was to help her on the way and the bell was to warn the children of her coming. Children were warned to be good so that she would leave them gifts and not switches. When the bell rang, the children were hurried off to bed to be asleep before Befana comes.
In Italy, Epiphany is also called Befana Day. It is a day of feasting and celebration as well as gift giving and fairs are held in Rome and rural areas in honor of Befana Day.
On Christmas Eve, Italian children set out their shoes for the Befana, to fill with gifts of all kinds like toys, candies and fruit. The children wait until Epiphany, January 6, for their presents. According to tradition, the presents are delivered by a kind ugly witch called Befana on a broomstick. If the children were good, their shoes would be filled on Christmas morning. If they were bad, they would find their shoes filled with coal.
Traditional Dishes From Italy...
Zuppa Di Pesce, Cioppino, or Fish Stew
Loaves & Fishes Fish Salad
Christmas Eve Baccala (Salt Cod With Potatoes & Tomatoes)
Tagliatelle With Caramelized Oranges and Almonds
Cipolline in Agrodolce
Dressed up Italian Green Beans
Roasted Lemon- Zest Zucchini With Pine Nuts
The Christmas season in Italy goes for three weeks, starting 8 days before Christmas known as the Novena. During this period, children go from house to house reciting Christmas poems and singing.
In some parts shepherds bring musical instruments into the villages, play and sing Christmas songs.
In the week before Christmas children go from house to house dressed as shepherds, playing pipes, singing and reciting Christmas poems. They are given money to buy presents.
A strict feast is observed for 24 hours before Christmas Eve, and is followed by a celebration meal, in which a light Milanese cake called panettone features as well as chocolate.
Presents and empty boxes, are drawn from the Urn of Fate - lucky dip, which always contains one gift per person. By twilight, candles are lighted around the family creche known as the Presepio, prayers are said, and children recite poems.
At noon on Christmas Day the pope gives his blessing to crowds gathered in the huge Vatican square.
On christmas Eve the dinner is called cenone which is a traditional dish of eel.
Christmas lunch is Tortellini in Brodo which is filled pasta parcels in broth, also served is cappone which is boiled capon, or roasts are served in central Italy.
Another famous cake is pandoro which originated from Verona.

RIP-IT 2014 Prototype BBCOR AIR -3 Adult Baseball Bat
New for 2014! Last season, a revolution was born when RIP-IT introduced their AIR Technology to BBCOR bats. That revolution was built on SPEED, BALANCE, and POWER. Now, RIP-IT has further perfected this design. Made from R2 Alloy, the one-piece BBCOR AIR features RIP-IT's Rifle Barrel Technology. This technological advancement removes weight from the barrel without reducing the overall wall thickness of the bat - keeping durability intact. This is achieved by cutting precise grooves inside the barrel, resulting in dramatically lower M.O.I. and increasing bat speed. Also features an Acoustic Barrel design and Contact Grip that is designed for incredible vibration reduction and extreme durability. Made in USA. 30-day money back guarantee.
Acoustic Barrel
Looking to generate more singles from poor contact? The Acoustic barrel on the new BBCOR baseball bats helps you do it. This unique BBCOR bat feature is made possible because of the limited drop off in exit speed when contact is made outside of the sweet spot.
Contact Grip
Feel the contact, not the sting. The new Prototype BBCOR baseball bats includes the most advanced grip ever put on a certified BBCOR baseball bat. The Contact grip is designed to provide excellent grip, incredible vibration elimination, and extreme durability.

Drop: -3 Adult bat.
Barrel: 2 5/8"
