checked out the FBI vault in reference to the animal mutilation investigations.
I was surprised the investigations were attempted on native America
lands primarily , and thus were dininshed , as not being in FBI jurisdiction.
there was local/tribal liaison established .w/( southwest FBI field contact
office. apparently no evidence was ever collected and the case closed.)
have the investigations continued under another case file? or heading , jurisdiction.?
do native americans have an ' active voice ' concerning these anomalies ?
all I see is the' white man' perspective. what do native American investigations
ATF has investigated an animal mutilation.
(based on one case) prior to FBI .

Profile Design Kage Water Bottle Cage
Simple, light, and basic design, the Profile Kage Water Bottle Cage holds tight and doesn't leave bottles with telltale metallic grime. The Profile Kage is injection molded nylon with fiberglass strands for strength.
Light and sturdy
Great bottle holder if you want your bottles to stay put during a technical mountain bike trail.
On the smaller frame bikes, this does not work well as it's difficult to get bottle out, would work fine on larger frame bikes. For smaller frames, get the side open cages...
I bought two of these for my Giant Defy and they're great! I had the older model on another bike and had bottles bounce out but they've changed the design and now these stay in no problem. I plan on getting for my Specialized as well.
These are way better. I have never lost a bottle in one of these, unlike some of the bottles that have been launched from my wire cages. They hold a bottle tight even if the rubber band breaks after a few seasons. Plus it's light and much cheaper than some of the ridiculous models for the weight weenies.
Best bottle cage ever.This cage grabs the bottle firmly and can be used for road or mountain biking. Does't stain the bottles and for the price you won't find anything else. The design hasn't changed for years because it simply works.
These worked really well. I've put hundreds of miles on my bike with these attached through almost entirely gravel roads and I have not once dropped a water bottle. They hold insanely well and are a great value. For the record I use a 24 ounce fox water bottle in them.

text: Fabric row covers are lightweight blankets made of spunbonded polypropylene which is sunlight, rain and air-permeable. They offer 4 benefits: 1) Capturing warmth, resulting in healthier plant growth and earlier yields. 2) Protecting plants from damaging winds. 3) Most effective, least toxic, form of insect control. 4) Protecting your plants from light frost, thus extending the growing season. HOW TO USE: Cover your crops immediately after planting to keep insects out and to promote increased warmth. Apply the cover loosely so plants can lift it as they grow, and secure edges with Row Cover Tacks or soil. The white fabric is printed with a green logo stripe down the middle for easy centering over the row.

Guys, as you know, I'm a knife designing addict. With the amazing demand and success (and trust me, result) of the parers, I've worked on something for an "addition" to the parers. I find myself often reaching for a long petty for trimming and making quick meals. My design, this time around is either of a 185 or 195 petty/suji. Essentially, a slightly taller long petty, with my styling and Butch's magic.
Tentatively, we are gauging interest, and would like to know if you all might be into this project.
Thanks, guys!

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 20
Rated 5 out of 5 by kck2 Time for sleep
This is a wonderful light weight extra cover for your baby and you dont have to worry about covers going over your baby's head. My first son preferred to be swaddled but my second loves this sleep sack. He also feels comfort in knowing that it is time for sleep when the sleep sack is put on. I think he likes the security and routine.
October 9, 2009
Rated 3 out of 5 didn't work for us
when we transitioned my son out of the swaddle we tried this blanket. He was already rolling over and sleeping on his belly, so the front zipper would ride up and get in his face and leave a mark. I think this would be better for a younger baby who doesn't like to be swaddled.
December 11, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 Keep warm - safely!
Our 16mo old has never had a "restful" nights sleep. From the infant times when she would work her way out of the swaddle to this morning when we woke to find her head in the corner of the crib and her legs in the air (in the sleep sack and still sleeping).
We have tried going to blankets, but she just kicks them off and complains so we don't get sleep either.
The Halo Sleepsack has been the only thing to keep her covered and warm all without worrying about her covering her head when she was an infant and now gives us piece of mind.
December 11, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by CoolMom Love this!
I used this sleepsack constantly until my baby could walk. It's the perfect thickness, so baby doesn't overheat, but she stays warm enough. And of course, gotta love that it's organic cotton.
March 26, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Joselina He loves it!
This is the perfect weight for a centrally heated home. Baby giggles every time we start to put it on because it means it's time for bed! It's a must have in our bedtime routine.
March 19, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by CTCCR Just the best!
Really, the best sleep sack out there. Stays soft through many washings, easy zipper and no silly sayings, prints or embroidery! I don't know what I will do when he grows out of them!

The sleep sack is so incredibly soft and cuddly. I wish they made them big enough for adults.

Great sleep sack...wish the bigger size had the swaddle piece too so I can strap baby in.

(4 Questions : 4 Answers)
See what people are asking, and maybe add some answers of your own.
Is the HALO SleepSack Wearable Blanket treated with flame retardants?Answers
The Halo Sleep Sacks are our favorite pick for swaddling and sleep sacks! We love that they're not treated with any chemicals-- the cotton products have passed the U.S. flame-resistant standards without having to add any retardants.Q:
Can you please tell me the length of the 6-12mo size?Answers
It is sized to fit a child 26" - 30" long.Q:
Hi, I was wondering is this sleepsack suitable for use in jan, feb, march (with a vest & onesie underneath)?if not what would you recommend for winter?
We have a lot of customers that use this organic wearable blanket as their sleep solution year-round. That said, we have customers that live in all different climates. Therefore, this depends somewhat on your indoor temperatures – although it sounds like you're already being smart about layering!Q:
I'm wondering what the difference is between this sleepsack wearable blanket, and the deluxe velboa blanket. Which ones do I need and how many?Answers
The difference between the two is the fabric they are made of. The deluxe velboa is made of 100% polyester fleece and is lined with a soft jersey knit. The cotton SleepSack is made of 100% organic cotton. The velboa blanket is thicker when compared to the organic cotton, so customers prefer to use that version in cooler temperatures.We recommend purchasing 2-3 SleepSacks, so when one is in the wash, you always have another available for baby to sleep in. They are both wonderful options, so why not get one of each? The velboa can be used when out and about in chilly weather, while the organic cotton is great for warm summers, and each one can be layered over a baby's onesie for an additional layer of warmth!

The world's only deposit of whetstone grade material is located in a small area of the Ouachita Mountains in Arkansas. Silica deposits later known as novaculite were first discovered by American Indians. Traces still remain of their prehistoric efforts to quarry the rare stone for arrowheads and other tools. Present day mining efforts for sharpening stone material started there in the late 1800s. There are three different grades--soft, hard and extra fine. Colors in the different grades can vary from white to almost clear and many combinations in between. The Washita variety of soft Arkansas stone is the most unique soft stone known. It is the most recognizable with its swirl pattern of purple and white. There is only one known quarry that has this type of Arkansas stone. The Washita is the fastest sharpening, most durable soft stone that has been mined to date. With a very limited supply available, this stone is truly a novelty and should be had by anyone who is serious about sharpening.

Alalu wrote:Units of Radiation Explained
People in Japan need to find out the detailed nature of the contamination. Is it something generating alpha, beta or gamma? Its not likely to create any neutron or x-ray radiation so you don't need to worry about that. The only alpha and neutron radiation you would normally get would have been from the explosion of the reactor(s), a short term effect but could have been deadly for those close by.
You need to know the exact elements and isotopes involved (e.g. Cesium, Rubidium, Cobalt) to determine the half-life. That gives you some idea of how long the problem will remain. It could also tell you something about what else might become contaminated (ground water, fish, air, crops).
If it was me, I would take samples around where I lived and worked and send that to a lab, outside of Japan. There are labs that will analyze it for you. Make sure they know it might be radioactively contaminated. Don't lick the envelope! And DON'T send it to a government building or they will freak.
Low doses of iodine over a long term will help build up some resistance by your thyroid but most people get plenty in iodized table salt. Eat lots of vegetables, preferably non-local, and stay out of the sun. Exercise.
Alalu wrote:Just to add a note. That article stated that "we", meaning mankind, do not have detailed information about the health effects of radiation exposure. That is actually not entirely true. Certain governments, I won't name names, have lots of data. Good luck trying to pry it from their hands, John. Civilian doctors are not normally trained to deal with radiation exposure, something demonstrated in the Huffman UFO case, by the way. You have to go to a doctor specifically trained in radiation exposure. Someday that is going to come back to haunt us...

I agree with you Roy. I, also received a sleeve of test balls. They were all black. It was cold in New York when I tested mine, but they were great. ..good feel..good spin.. and they felt good coming off the putter face. My problem was that I lost all three in the Fall leaves, before I could wear them out. It was a shame that the test balls were not sent out in better weather...say July or August. I really enjoyed getting them and I hope I get some more... I too. play the NXT Tour and NXT Tour S.. Hope you have great golf...
I too would like know how to get on the list to receive test balss, etc?
Hello, I received one sleeve to test, but because of an injury and then cold weather, I was unable to test them. I'm hoping spring will soon be here and I can finally try them out.
Dr. Ernest K, Thanks for that info. I have sent several emails to Titlist asking what I played with no answer. I received a sleeve of the black numbered balls in late October. It gets a little cold here in south east Michigan that time of year plus the club I play at is on the shores of Lake Erie which drops the temp even more. I got to play the test balls last day the club was open for the season. I am 73 years old and had the best round of the year 41/40. Just missed a 39 on the last hole. This ball was considerably longer than the srxn Soft Feel balls I usually play. It felt as soft so it had great feel off the clubs and putter. Very straight and very long. I am switching to the NXT Tour-S now that I know what I played. I have used both the "NXT Tour" and "NXT". I like them but like the softer feeling of the soft feel. I think I sacrificed distance with the srxn Soft Feel but used them because of the feel. But no more, the Titlist NXT Tour-S will be my ball of choice for 2014. Thanks again, Don
Sounds like an amazing opportunity and honor to be apart of the titleist ball testing process
I played with them had a nice feel .I had fun playing them .Nice balls .For a below avg golfer from the age of 6 I love the game dead on greens fairway shot true but not long
Thank you
Leonard Clifford

They feel a little softer on short shots. Perfect on full swings. Best part, the skn doesnt chew up as much as previous models.

+ Breaking a Leg
When you say "break a leg" to theater people, they don't usually take it literally. Well, Michelle Bianchi Pingel, managing director/CEO of The Players, did. She was spotted Saturday night at The Players' "A Night to Remember," event rolling around on a wheelie cart to prop up her injured leg.
The joke of the night was: Jeffery Kin beat her up. Clearly, it wasn't true, because Kin was found later in the evening with a lipstick-covered face. "Women love kissing me!" he says. "I'm just so loveable."
+ Running into Nik Wallenda
Sarasota has its own celebrity culture, that's for sure. About a week ago, while I was hurriedly picking up some last-minute items at Publix, I turned a corner at record speed and almost ran over an innocent victim.
After apologizing, I thought, "Hey, that guy looks kind of familiar."
It was only when I got to the next aisle that I realized it was Nik Wallenda, who had just arrived back into town for his welcome-home celebration, which I attended. But I'm not used to seeing people outside of events and second-guessed myself because grocery shopping is such a normal activity. But I asked the checkout lady for confirmation, who Googled a photo to verify. She agreed — she'd seen him in there before.
Yes, I almost ran over Nik Wallenda's foot with my grocery cart. Luckily, his feet are still intact for the Grand Canyon walk. Next time, I'll just say, "Hello."
+ Playing tribute to DANIEL Moe
The Key Chorale concert dedicated to Daniel Moe Sunday was a moving tribute featuring most of his compositions —11 pieces of his in total.
"The Living Legacy of Daniel Moe" was a tribute to the late conductor emeritus who died in May. His music is slightly modern and forward thinking.
For instance, his SATB (soprano, alto, tenor, bass) acapella version of "God So Loved the World" was an edgier and more powerful sounding work than other versions adapted from John 3:16.
His widow, Ann Stephenson-Moe, played his works on organ, along with Moe's accompanist for more than 20 years, Virginia Bray, and current Key Chorale accompanist Nancy Yost Olson.
In between songs, Key Chorale Executive Director Richard Storm narrated. The audience learned, if they didn't already know, that Moe also had a way with words.
The pews were full of his friends and those whose lives he touched with his music. It was an inspired concert, and it shows his legacy will continue to live.
+ Saturday morning is still funny
When I was a child, "The Pee Wee Herman Show" and "Bill Nye the Science Guy" were my favorite Saturday morning television shows. Paul Reubens, if you're reading this, I'm your biggest fan.
But there's something local to replace Saturday morning cartoons: Florida Studio Theatre's Kids Komedy Club. The program began in the '80s, under FST Associate Director Kate Alexander.
It's a live comedy show for children, featuring children. The KKC leads the audience through a variety of improv games, parodies and comedy sketches. The next one is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 23, and Saturday, Nov. 24, and will be a "Turkey-riffic Thanksgiving Extravaganza." Tickets are $6, and include lunch and drink. They can be purchased online at floridastudiotheatre.org or by calling 366-9000.
If only it would be acceptable for guests to arrive in their PJs and be served Cocoa Puffs, then it would be the real Saturday morning deal.
Hot Ticket
Noise Ordinance 3 CD Release Party will take place from 1 p.m. to midnight Saturday, Nov. 10, at Cock & Bull, 975 Cattlemen Road. It's the celebration of more than 30 local original bands, and will feature lots of live music. Tickets $10. Call 363-1262.
'Nate Jacobs' '50s Jukebox Review' is a production conceived by Nate Jacobs, the artistic director of Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe. Adapted from the music of Fats Domino, Little Richard and Muddy Waters, it'll have you shake, rattle and rollin' starting 8 p.m. Nov. 14 and running through Dec. 16, at 1646 10th Way, Sarasota. Tickets $28. Call 366-1505.

5 I knew Slash was a hellraiser before, but damn!Vin20082008 | 17/06/2008 | See all Vin20082008's reviews (3)I found reading this book to be really captivating, I couldn't put it down as soon as it came through the post. Slash is really honest about his whole life to date, from his childhood, the highs and lows of being in G N'R, the Snakepit and Velvet Revolver and of course the sex, drugs and alcohol. He doesn't mince his words one bit about the whole sex, drugs and rock n' roll excess he's experienced which was in my opinion the most interesting part to read about. Also his relationship with Axl Rose is also interesting, from how they were close in the early days to the point where they were only communicating through their management in their final days. Overall the book is really interesting to read, I knew slash was a hellraiser but once you read this it really does shock you.
5 Oh Boy Cannot WaitScorpionWsM | 24/04/2008 | See all ScorpionWsM's reviews (224)Top 100 Electronics Reviewer As a reasonable GNR fan and an ex guitar learner, I stumbled across this title by accident looking for books for someone else.I love struggle tales either real or fictional, Kane and Abel being a guide to the fictional kind of book that I love, but upon reading the description, I thought that this is going to be one hell of a book that cannot be missed especially for a fiver.I hope that this book comes out in audiobook format, as I have a blind friend who loves GNR and this would make his day.This is going to be a must read for any fan or any guitar player really.
5 Unexpectedly good!SveinB | 07/01/2011 | See all SveinB's reviews (14)Top 100 Clothing Reviewer I have to admit, this book was a huge surprise. I expected a decent read, and several great stories from the golden years of Guns N' Roses. I got that and so much more, as the book turned out to be everything a rock bio should be. Slash tells everything the way it was, in remarkable detail. It is brutally honest, but manages to be so without trying to slag anyone off. No "uncomfortable" events are skipped. Everything that went down is here. It is told in a frank and entertaining way. The ups, the downs, etc. If you ever wondered about the inner workings of Guns N' Roses, the relationship between Axl and Slash, how most of their famous songs came about, how the albums were made, and all the events that eventually led to the demise of the band - it's all here, and a great read. A very unexpected, but very pleasant, recommendation!
5 ExcellentNorikoNeko | 20/05/2010 | See all NorikoNeko's reviews (4)At first I bought this thinking it'll be pretty dark and messy to read but I was entirely wrong. Usually I wouldn't pick up such a think book not knowing much about the person but just looking up to them in general but it was so very much worth the decision to buy this.It brings such a deep and meaningful insight to the world fo Rock n Roll and especially the world before I was born and how it was like back then.The inside of GnR and his future onward is fascinating and he's like us, a human being, but his world is just something beyond a lot of people will ever reach and it's so honest as well.I highly recommend this read, it didn't bore me and it didn't drag or go on at any part like some autobiographies do, it's very fascinating and you get by it very quickly!I have so much more respect knowing Slash behind the scenes now and just how much of a personality, history and character he has. It'd astonishing. I would love to meet him but this is as close as it gets.
5 Awsomeabarron | 18/09/2008 | See all abarron's reviews (77)Top 100 Tickets Reviewer Awesome book.This didn't let down pretty much sex,drugs and rock and roll all the way through.I wouldn't say i was a Guns n' Roses fan but i would recommend this to anyone.Great insight into the turmoil into one of the best bands in history.A must read

quote:Serious question, when do you think price relative to the dollar will stop being important?
quote:That wouldn't mean bitcoin has failed, however.
quote:But I think a subjective measure of bitcoin being a huge success would be hearing/seeing prices quoted in bitcoin by merchants who accept them.
quote:So you've been to Kenya which makes you knowledgeable about their currency? I have worked there.....
quote:Are the citizens equipped with sophisticated technologies such as highspeed wireless internet, smartphones, indoor plumbing?
quote:Now thousands of Bitcoin aficionados have effectively had their money trapped inside frozen accounts whose fate is uncertain. That money could come back to its owners if the processors and exchanges beef up their capabilities and find banks willing to do business with them. But that's no comfort to the people who want their money back, now. (For those able to trade the currency today, it's holding relatively flat at $108 — more than 50 percent off its April high.)
quote:This tells me bitcoin is fricked (sorry wiki).

Alligator Round Rotor
Alligator brake rotors are engineered to have superior strength, and to dissipate heat quickly.
Due to manufacturer restrictions we can only ship this item within the U.S.
I guess you get what you pay for. My rear rotor warped beyond repair after about 100 miles of fairly light-duty use.
Great rotors, great price.
I bent my disc a hair in a travel box and needed a good price and product to replace mine. These are great for the price, quiet, and easy to install. Worked great with my Avid mechanical brakes.
Tried these rotors with new set of wheels in hopes of stopping the howling of Avid Elixirs. 100 miles in, and these have performed well. Noise is at a minimum, stopping power is good for cross country, and no issues working with elixir cr sl's on my Stumpjumper. Modulation is not on par with avid rotor, but that may improve with new set of pads. Low price, high quality = happy customer.
I bought a set of these to use with my Avid BB7 brakes. I mostly bought them for the look. But what amazes me, they stay cleaner alot more than the stock bb7 discs do! The braking is just as effective. I highly recommend these!

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: email@example.com Bruins rested, ready for 48-game season
Monday, January 14, 2013
BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Bruins are well rested and had more players overseas than anyone else in the NHL. So they're well positioned for what should be a sprint of a season following the NHL's 119-day lockout.
The Bruins struggled out of the gate last season as defending champions. One year later, the league's labor dispute made what was already going to be a long offseason for the Bruins, after their first-round loss to Washington in the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs, even longer.
Chara doesn't want his team to bank on the European experience giving them a leg up. |

An ovulation home test is used by women to help determine the time in the menstrual cycle when getting pregnant is most likely.
The test detects a rise in luteinizing hormone (LH) in the urine. A rise in this hormone signals the ovary to release the egg. This at-home test is often used by women to help predict when an egg release is likely.
These kits can be bought at most drug stores.
Luteinizing hormone urine test (home test); Ovulation prediction test; Urinary LH immunoassays; At-home ovulation prediction test; LH urine test
Ovulation prediction test kits usually come with five to seven sticks. You may need to test for several days to detect a surge in LH.
The specific time of month that you start testing depends on the length of your menstrual cycle. For example, if your normal cycle is 28 days, you'll need to test on day 11. (That is, the 11th day after you started your period.)
You will need to urinate on the test stick, or place the stick into urine that has been collected into a sterile container. The test stick will turn a certain color or display a positive sign if a surge is detected.
A positive result means you should ovulate in the next 24 to 36 hours, but this may not be the case for all women. The booklet that is included in the kit will tell you how to read the results.
You may miss your surge if you miss a day of testing. You may also not be able to detect a surge if you have an irregular menstrual cycle.
Do not drink large amounts of fluids before using the test.
Ask your doctor if you need to stop taking certain drugs before using this test.
Drugs that can decrease LH measurements include estrogens, progesterone and testosterone. Estrogens and progesterone may be found in birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy.
The drug clomiphene citrate (Clomid) can increase LH levels. This drug is used to help trigger ovulation. Women taking this drug should wait three days after stopping the medicine before checking their LH levels.
The test involves normal urination. There is no pain or discomfort.
This test is most often done to determine when a women will ovulate. For women with a 28-day menstrual cycle, this release normally occurs between days 11 and 14.
If you have an irregular menstrual cycle, the kit can help you tell when you are ovulating.
The ovulation home test may also be used to help you adjust doses of certain medicines.
A positive result indicates an "LH surge." This is a sign that ovulation may soon occur.
Rarely, false positive results can occur. This means the test kit may falsely predict ovulation.
Talk to your doctor if you are unable to detect a surge or do not become pregnant after using the kit several months. You may need to see an infertility specialist.
LH urine tests are not the same as at home fertility monitors. Fertility monitors are digital handheld devices. They predict ovulation based on electrolyte levels in saliva, LH levels in urine, or your basal body temperature. These devices can store ovulation information for several menstrual cycles.

Christmas brings out the frugalista in me. Yet, even with that, it can be hard to stay within budget when shopping for familia/family, friends, teachers, the hair stylist, garage attendants, mailman, my Kris Kringle, my sons' countless friends, etc., etc. I have to admit some years are better than most. Sadly,this year is not the better thn most year because I waited till the last minute to shop. Grrrr
Thankfully, H&R Block has a program that can help. (I knew I liked them for more than timely tax returns!) The program called Emerald Advance, is a service for those years when you need some extra dinero/money. Folks may be eligible for up to $1,000 without having to jump through lots of hoops. People can apply from now until January 14, 2013.. Whether you use Emerald Advance to cover holiday gifts or travel expenses to spend time with family over the holidays, you can feel good about relying on a financial expert you can trust all year and that means more celebrating and less worrying!
If you opt for a cash advance, there are still ways you can save during the holidays, such as…
Immediate Family: Set a monetary budget for everyone.
This year my boys and I have a $50 budget for each other. We can go under but not over. Great for tweens and teens especially since I am still giving them the money to purchase those gifts!
Extended Family and Friends: Purchase Group Gifts vs. Individual Gifts
I have a big family, with 3 brothers and 3 sisters. I also have countless friends who we call Titi/Auntie, that have adopted my sons and I into their family. Most, if not all of these individuals, have 2 or more kids. Buying individual gifts is not an option for us; however, group gifts are. See below for some ideas.
- Museum Memberships: This is the gift that keeps on giving! This gift will not only give the recipients countless days of family fun, it will also support a great cause. Plus, a portion of it is tax deductible!
- Video Games: This is perfect for the Gamer family. There are lots of options to choose from that are great to get a family moving and having fun. Try to pick one that will work for a diverse age group. I find sports, dance amnd singing games are great for all ages.
- Food Subscriptions: The boys and I received this from a friend one year and we loved it. There are many options to select from including fruits, steaks, and the three major food groups: coffee, cakes and cookies! You can even find some great subscriptions for gluten free living and diabetics that are pretty tasty.
Get a $25 Gift Certificate to The Fruit Company thru Restaurant.com for only $10! Click Here.
Get a $25 Gift Certificate to Lobster Gram thru Restaurant.com for only $10! Click Here.
Get a $25 Gift Certificate to Mrs. Fields Cookies thru Restaurant.com for only $10! Click Here.
Teachers: Since my sons are older, they have more teachers that I can count on two hands. As a result, I always give restaurant certificates from restaurant.com. They never expire and they can use them for take out, to eat out and on countless other stores within the network.
Mailmen/Garage Attendants and Other Service Workers: I want to commend the people who make my life easier; however, realistically I can not afford to give each one of them a gift unless I am creative. Several options I have used in the past are noted below. Notice the theme?
- Movie Cards: I purchase AMC tickets at a discount. You can do the same via Costco, BJs, and from most insurance companies!
- Fast food gift cards: You can grab a 4 pack of $10 cards at CVS (Use your ExtraBucks!). You can also purchase them at a discount from Costco, BJs or other big box store.
- restaurant. com Gift Cards: Again, these are great because you can use them to dine in, take out or with any of the other stores in their network. Plus, they have a NEW! $2 for $5 Restaurant Gift Certificates.
For YOURSELF: I suggest a spa treatment, preferably one that does not involve the children, mate or in-laws! To entice a well deserved splurge, H & R Block is going to give one Latina On a Mission reader a $300 gift card. No purchase necessary. Read below for details… and should you win, please use it for something special. Because, honestly, you deserve it!
¡Suerte! / Good luck!

This little panel with appliqued Pezzy-crayons was also included in the bundle that arrived. I think it's from the strike-off fabric. I'll just have to frame this piece as it came from Sandy's workshop. :)

Constituency hours spark council dispute Littlefield wants the chance to meet 'one on one' with residents
Thursday, February 21, 2013
SANFORD — Who may use Sanford's City Hall and for what purpose?
Some councilors took exception to Littlefield's constituency meetings and his motives, however.
In a legal opinion on the subject of the council's regulating constituent hours and the use of the city hall for such meetings, the Maine Municipal Association said neither state law nor Sanford's charter prohibited a councilor from "holding constituent hours to receive input from citizens, wherever the meeting might occur."
Walsh made a motion that the council's property subcommittee draw up rules for the use of city hall, but interim Mayor Maura Herlihy objected. Herlihy said she believed a policy on the use of the facility should be discussed by the full council. |

In Barrow Alaska; Top of the World; The sun sets on November the 18th for the last time. The sun will not come above the horizon until January 24th !! Although we do not have any direct sunlight for 2 1/2 months; We still have dusk type light for about 2 hours every day.
There is no such thing; as 24 hours of darkness in the Arctic! We do have some light every day of the year; But in summer time we have 3 1/2 months of nothing but pure sunlight 24 / 7.
It is that time of year again; Time to go whaling out on the ocean ice pack. I am going to show you how much work it requires - JUST TO EAT !!
Can you imagine ? Chopping ice; with pick and axe by hand for SEVEN MILES to move skin boats and other equipment out to the lead opening. Just to gather food! No one gets paid for this work; One month of 12-14 hour days of chopping ice @ 20 to 50 below zero & colder - to make a flat smooth wide road for the snowmachines to transport supplies & equipment out to the camp sites - many miles from land; The most amazing aspect of breaking trail - no one ever complains !!
Here are the three guides for this journey - The Eves brothers- They are living legends in the Arctic in all villages due to the quality of Ivory they create working at home.
Come along for a spectacular journey from the warmth & comfort of your home or office.
Just in front of that snowmachine, you can see one of the markers placed on the ice. This lines up with others that are spaced out, to keep a visual record of which way the ice is moving.
Presently at this point in time, we have been out here almost daily for two weeks.
The days are cold, crisp, and refreshing. At the house of Whaling Captain - Eugene Brower - Sleds are dug out of the snow, cleaned off and make ready to head out to the ocean ice.. to ... .. BREAK TRAIL !!
This is it, hard back breaking work, for hours & days upon end, It is no easy task to break trail. I am going to show you .. the entire hunt. from breaking trail, setting up camp and living out on the ocean ice, also inside the umiaq, day by day.
We were requested to specificly join this crew, we received invites from The President of the Alaska Eskimo Whaling commission who is also a board member of the Internation Whaling Commission - Euguene Brower !
Day one was a 'test' to see and determine what type of workers the captain has on his crew.
Today, back out on the trail, they have a 15 foot high pressure ridge to go through, The Captain said, no sense going around it, lets just remove the whole thing and go right through it !
It may surprise you as to why this incredible immensive amount of work is done. Why not just go around the obstacles ?
The whole idea is to construct a smooth wide STRAIGHT road; for when we have to evacuate the ice because of wind shifts and advancing ice towards our location.

Lisbon Dinner Plate, Set of 4
Love my plates
Love my plates. They match my colors in my kitchen. The design is very nice. I do which there were more pieces available, like a meat platter, serving dishes, gravy boat, salt and pepper, sugar and creamer. I will keep checking in the future for more pieces.
July 2, 2013
Simply perfect!!
I've had this set for a year now, it's still in great condition. No chips, stains, or anything wrong with them, they still look great! I did however buy the green accent salad plates instead of all the same design, so I can't vouch for these salad plates. But if they are anything like the dinner plates and mugs, then they are great.
June 6, 2011
I plan to buy more of these dishes
I received a service for four for Xmas, and I love them. They mix well with the solid gold plates. I will be buying more to add to my collection. You do need to be a little careful with them because they can chip if just thrown around,
February 10, 2011
Love the plates
I love them and use them everyday. They are perfect in size and colors...I will be buying more so don't buy them all
November 22, 2008
Regal, yet good enough for everyday
I absolutely love these dishes! I got the dinner plates, salad plates, bowls & mugs. Because I have such a large family and like to entertain, I ordered a set of 12. It was a little expensive, but well worth it! I have been looking for what seems forever to find the right shape, color and design of everyday dinnerware. I am very happy! Love them!
October 29, 2008
Love these plates!
Love this set. It is perfect to use everyday and looks great in my cabinet with glass doors. I hope they plan on matching serving platter and bowl in this design.
September 23, 2008
Beautiful, but chip too easily
I own most of the pieces in this design. While I love the design, they do chip too easily. I also have one bowl that has a crack, which I will see if they will exchange, because it's clear it was a manufacturing flaw. We no longer have children at home. With just my husband and I, it's not like these dishes get abused. I would have recommended them except for the fact that they chip so easily.
March 9, 2013
Beautiful plates but......
I do love the appearance of these plates, but they do chip very easily. I have had these plates for about 6 months, and a few of them already have chips. I have been using these plates for everyday use. I'm afraid that soon I will have to look for new plates.

The brain and nervous system are your body's control center. They control your body's movements, your senses, your thoughts and memories. They also control the organs such as your heart and bowels.
Nerves are the pathways that carry signals to and from your brain and the rest of your body. The spinal cord is the bundle of nerves that runs from your brain down the center of your back. Nerves extend out from the spinal cord to every part of your body.
Aging Changes and Their Effects on the Nervous System
As you age, your brain and nervous system go through natural changes. Your brain and spinal cord lose nerve cells and weight (atrophy). Nerve cells may begin to pass messages more slowly than in the past. Waste products can collect in the brain tissue as nerve cells break down. This can cause abnormal changes in the brain called plaques and tangles to form. A fatty brown pigment (lipofuscin ) can also build up in nerve tissue.
Breakdown of nerves can affect your senses. You might have reduced or lost reflexes or sensation. This leads to problems with movement and safety.
Slowing of thought, memory, and thinking is a normal part of aging. These changes are not the same in everyone. Some people have many changes in their nerves and brain tissue. Others have few changes. These changes are not always related to the effects on your ability to think.
Nervous System Problems in Older Persons
Dementia and severe memory loss are not a normal part of aging. They can be caused by brain diseases such Alzheimer's disease , which doctors believe is due to plaques and tangles forming in the brain and the buildup of lipofuscin.
Delirium is sudden and severe confusion that leads to changes in thinking and behavior. It is often due to illnesses that are not related to the brain. Infection can cause an older person to become severely confused. Certain medicines can also cause this.
Thinking and behavior problems can also be caused by poorly controlled diabetes . Rising and falling blood sugar levels can interfere with thought.
Discuss any changes in memory, thought, or ability to perform a task with your health care provider. Seek medical help right away if these symptoms occur suddenly or along with other symptoms. A change in thinking, memory, or behavior is important if it is different from your normal patterns or it affects your lifestyle.
Mental and physical exercise can help your brain stay sharp. Mental exercises include reading, doing crossword puzzles, and even stimulating conversation. Physical exercise promotes blood flow to your brain. It also helps reduce loss of brain cells.

Not sure if there is anything on your local machine that can make a website change....it's worth trying though. Something like Adaware or Spybot Search & Destroy usually does the trick for me. Personally I run both periodically.

They come in many shapes, sizes, and materials to accommodate minimalist backpackers to families on car-camping getaways. Mesh panels promote airflow, and a rain cover can be deployed in wet weather. Consider the type of trip you're taking and the number of people using the tent.
