If at first you don't succeed...
Yes, I'm trying Weight Watchers again. Actually, I do succeed when I'm on the program. It's just that I slide back into old habits when I stop going to meetings. I've succeeded and then "slid" 3 times already in my life. It's time to make this a life long change.
I quit going to WW last time due to a time & distance issue, promising myself I would keep up the program on my own. HA!!! I was only fooling myself. I was recently brought up short by the fact that in 3 years I have managed to put back on all the weight I worked so hard to take off. This time I'm trying WW On-Line. That solves the scheduling issues I had and we'll see how it works for me. Has anyone else tried to go on-line only without the reinforcement you get from the meetings? Right now I feel fired up, but staying that way is the hard part. The On-Line tools are pretty nifty, I must say, and it makes tracking what I eat convenient. Wish me plenty of staying power please!
Anne---I've had a battle with the scale all my life------It has been extremely difficult to lose weight with all my health problems. Too inactive----
My method is to write down everything I eat and it usually works but not anymore-----
Combination of age and inactivity---
Most people have good luck with WW----Wish you all the best!!
Thank you, dear Florence. (I hope you are feeling well these days, btw.)
I'm off to a good start - lost 3.4 pounds in the first week. I really *must* stick with this, as my knees have strongly protested the extra pounds. DH said he would try to stick with me on the program...but he went out yesterday and bought a whole box of ice cream sandwiches, sigh....but EYE haven't touched 'em!!
(That's the crunch of my chocolate flavor rice cake you hear in the background, LOL.)
Good luck. My problem has always been lack of exercise especially during the winter. One piece of advice is don't go too extreme with your diet. You need something you can live with for the rest of your life, and if you try a diet that is too much then you won't keep up with it. But it sounds like you're off to a good start.
Yes, indeed they do, Florence. The WW I.C. sandwiches are a bit pricey, but very tasty. I'm going slow on keeping a lot of goodies around, even ones that are low in points. I know that I tend to be tempted to have more than I should once I start in, so I'm taking it easy right now on placing those temptations in my way. (Besides, *other* members of the family would devour them in a heartbeat. I need time to re-train them, too, LOL!)
Thanks for your kind words, Athena. You're right. I need a plan I can stick with for life and I know that WW is that plan. I have to stick with logging my foods, too, this time. That's a very important part of it all that keeps one from sliding back down the slippery slope of weight re-gain. Exercise is tough in winter, all right. I find it painful to walk on slippery surfaces with my bad knees - I'm always scared of going down. I'm thinking of getting those gripper treads that you slip over your shoes or boots. My sister and her walking partner swear by them.

The positive:
Clean, charming hotel in great location. The beach is nice and quiet, with only a few local kids running around and a kite surfing place next door. Looks like an ideal place to learn how to kite surf, with calm, shallow water and few people or boats. The swimming pool is also quite nice. We booked a snorkeling trip to Mnemba Island through the hotel for a half day, which was a good value.
The negative:
For us, the food was a bit expensive and the beer was too warm (I think the fridge was broken). Also, the A/C stopped working both nights we stayed there, but the ocean breeze helped. We had a very early checkout, trying to catch the 7 am ferry, and breakfast was promised to us but never delivered, so we left hungry.

Wasn't too far from the park we were going to.
It smelt like mildew terribly. The room was stuffy and extremely damp. When we told staff at checkout she just wrote down the problem and said "sorry about that, I've never been in that room." My friend woke up with a terrible headache probably from breathing that awful smell in all night. There was also hair in the tub before we even used it- yuck! The line for check in took forever- understaffed. Parking wasn't good and so far from the pool we didn't even bother. Wouldn't go back again.
Nice pools and hot tubs. The facilities were very pretty.
The hotel seemed to be understaffed. We waited over 30 minutes to check in. The line at the reception desk was always long. The service at their main restaurant was also very slow.
Excellent location, surprisingly great room for the price. Loved the balcony. Nearby grocery store in walking distance made stocking kitchenette for cheap easy meals possible. Don't want to cook? Reasonably good restaurants within minutes by car.
No shuttle service. And make sure you visit that grocery store because there's no vending machines or any kind of breakfast included that we were aware of.
Staff was great
I liked that it had a full kitchen, washer dryer, along with the jacuzzi tub.
There were no ice machines, fitness center had limited access, majority of the hotel is under renovations which left it looking closed and beyond run down.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.

Hello all,
I am just finishing off 5 weeks of my two meads being in the primary.
1X Cycer
1X Ginger Mead.
They have both fermented super dry, and so I wanted to confirm the next steps.
Next I:
**Rack into a clean/sanitized carboy
**Re air lock
**wait around one month/when its crystal clear.
**Once clear enough to read a newspaper through backsweeten....and potassium sorbate....then bottle.
Thoughts? am I on the right track? Below are the recipes if it makes any difference.
1) Joel's Cyser of Joy.
** 2.8 Liters Apple juice-Super nice organic from our wine growing region.
**1.6 LBS//0.74 KG Wild Flower Honey-Local, and smelled amazing.
**1 Tsp Nutrient-(with DAP + B1..)
**0.5 Cups Dextrose.
**1/2 tsp Pectic enzyme (to help with the super unclear Apple Juice)
**10 Raisins chopped in half.
**Lalvin 1118 Yeast.
NOTE: After reading all the "heated" debates on heating honey.....I said **** it. I could not bring myself to do it after smelling how wonderful it was. I believe in the natural antibiotics of honey...as well as the posting regarding many meaderies that dont boil. Also Lalvin 1118 is tough..and should out compete any other bacterial crap..
2) Who you callin a Ginger?-Ginger Mead.
**1.6 KG wild flower honey
**60 Grams peeled and grated ginger root -(boiled for 5 mins) and placed right in the primary...water and all.
**10 Chopped raisins
**1 tsp Yeast energizer-(DAP, B1...)
**1.5 cups Dextrose.
**Lalvin 1118 Yeasty
sounds good. I would add the potasium sorbate and potasium metabisulfite (sp? on each) let that sit a few days and then back sweeten to ensure no yeast will eat the honey.
I agree but I would give it much longer than a few days. I would probably go a couple weeks at least. Well truth be told I would give it a year or so but that's me.
nice! thanks everyone! A year eh... in Canada a year = 4.3 American months.

That was an Illustration or parable which is how Jesus would teach. Like the wheat and the weeds, the mustard grain, the leaven or the traveling merchant and the fine pearl.

February 9, 2015 at 5:06pm
@Chief……Show me from the scriptures where people go to heaven or hell. Because hell is just another word for the grave.
Hell comes from the Hebrew word sheol and the Greek word hades, the common grave of mankind. John 5:28,29 is pretty clear. (resurrection)
February 9, 2015 at 4:26pm
When a person dies he ceases to exist. period
Also, this woman did not die.
Jesus taught that there would be a resurrection and that someday all those in the memorial tombs (those who are in God's memory) would hear his voice and come out. John 5:28,29
Job asked if an able body man dies can he live again? He was speaking about waiting in the grave until the time came for God to remember him. "You will call, and I myself will answer you. For the work of your hands you will have a yearning." Job 14:13-15
Jesus resurrected Lazarus who was sleeping in death. John 11:11-14 Was he in heaven? No; he had died. He was not alive and had no conscious existence anywhere. Ecclesiastes 9:5

"2 tons per square inch," sufficient to fossilize fauna and flora quickly.—See The Biblical Flood and the Ice Epoch, by D. Patten, 1966, p. 62.
What evidence proves that there truly was a global deluge?
Other possible evidence of a drastic change: Remains of mammoths and rhinoceroses have been found in different parts of the earth. Some of these were found in Siberian cliffs; others were preserved in Siberian and Alaskan ice. (PICTURE, Vol. 1, p. 328) In fact, some were found with food undigested in their stomachs or still unchewed in their teeth, indicating that they died suddenly. It is estimated, from the trade in ivory tusks, that bones of tens of thousands of such mammoths have been found. The fossil remains of many other animals, such as lions, tigers, bears, and elk, have been found in common strata, which may indicate that all of these were destroyed simultaneously. Some have pointed to such finds as definite physical proof of a rapid change in climate and sudden destruction caused by a universal flood. Others, however, favor explanations for the death of these animals that do not involve an earth-wide catastrophe. Proof that the Flood occurred is not dependent on such fossils and frozen animal remains.

Effect on the Earth. With the Deluge great changes came, for example, the life span of humans dropped very rapidly. Some have suggested that prior to the Flood the waters above the expanse shielded out some of the harmful radiation and that, with the waters gone, cosmic radiation genetically harmful to man increased. However, the Bible is silent on the matter. Incidentally, any change in radiation would have altered the rate of formation of radioactive carbon-14 to such an extent as to invalidate all radiocarbon dates prior to the Flood.
With the sudden opening of the 'springs of the watery deep' and "the floodgates of the heavens," untold billions of tons of water deluged the earth. (Ge 7:11) This may have caused tremendous changes in earth's surface. The earth's crust, which is relatively thin and varied in thickness, is stretched over a rather plastic mass thousands of kilometers in diameter. Hence, under the added weight of the water, there was likely a great shifting in the crust. In time new mountains evidently were thrust upward, old mountains rose to new heights, shallow sea basins were deepened, and new shorelines were established, with the result that now about 70 percent of the surface is covered with water. This shifting in the earth's crust may account for many geologic phenomena, such as the raising of old coastlines to new heights. It has been estimated by some that water pressures alone were equal to "2 tons per square inch," sufficient to fo

|State enjoined from enforcing same-sex marriage ban; such bans violate the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process and Equal Protection clauses.
Whitewood v. Wolf is the federal lawsuit that successfully challenged the Pennsylvania Marriage Laws,[a] as amended in 1996 to ban same-sex marriage. The district court's decision in May 2014 held that the Marriage Laws violated the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses of the United States Constitution. Same-sex couples immediately sought and received marriage licenses and the decision was not appealed. One county clerk sought repeatedly without success to intervene to defend the law.
On July 9, 2013, following the U.S. Supreme Court decision in United States v. Windsor, the ACLU filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania on behalf of 23 plaintiffs—10 couples, 2 of their children, and a widow—seeking to overturn Pennsylvania's 1996 statutory ban on same-sex marriage.[1] The case, originally Whitewood v. Corbett, was assigned to Judge John E. Jones III.[2] On July 11, Attorney General Kathleen Kane, a named defendant, said that she would not defend the statute as she "endorse[d] equality and anti-discrimination laws" and that the statute was "wholly unconstitutional".[3] On July 30, Governor Tom Corbett announced he would defend the statute.[4]
Pretrial motions[edit]
All parties agreed to having Corbett's name removed as a defendant.[5] The remaining named defendants are the state health and revenue secretaries, and the Bucks County register of wills.[4] On November 15, Judge Jones rejected the state defendants' motion to dismiss the suit. The judge found that while Baker v. Nelson was precedent, it did not require him to find that denial of marriage equality is outside federal jurisdiction because "[t]he jurisprudence of equal protection and substantive due process has undergone what can only be characterized as a sea change since 1972", foremost being the recent Supreme Court ruling in United States v. Windsor.[6] In early December, the state's attorneys asked Jones to allow them to ask the Third Circuit Court of Appeals to rule on whether Baker v. Nelson is binding precedent. Judge Jones denied this interlocutory appeal on December 17, writing "this Court is rightfully in position to consider and assess such doctrinal advancements [since Baker]."[7][8]
On April 21, 2014, plaintiff same-sex couples filed a motion for summary judgment in Whitewood v. Wolf, which would allow the court to rule solely on the briefs without a trial. The state defendants agreed to dispense with trial as well.[9]
U.S. district court ruling[edit]
On May 20, 2014, Judge Jones ruled in Whitewood v. Wolf that Pennsylvania's same-sex marriage ban is unconstitutional.[10] He applied intermediate scrutiny and declared that the ban violates the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses of the United States Constitution.[11] The ruling was not stayed and same-sex couples in Pennsylvania could request and receive marriage licenses immediately and marry after a mandatory 3-day waiting period.[12][13] Anticipating legal maneuvers to stay Jones' ruling, dozens of same-sex couples applied for marriage licenses the same day and some obtained waivers of the state's three-day waiting period. At least one couple managed to celebrate their wedding on May 21.[14][15]
Pennsylvania's Republican Governor Tom Corbett announced on May 21 that he would not appeal Judge Jones' decision, effectively making Pennsylvania the 19th state to recognize same-sex marriage.[16]
Proposed intervention[edit]
On June 6, the Schuylkill County court clerk responsible for responding to marriage license applications, Theresa Santai-Gaffney, filed a motion before Judge Jones to allow her to intervene in the case in her official capacity. She wanted the court to stay its decision in Whitewood v. Wolf and to allow her appeal it.[17] Judge Jones denied the motion on June 18, lamenting that a private citizen would use her public office to make a "wholly disingenuous" intervention.[18]
Santai-Gaffney immediately appealed the denial of her intervention to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals and asked it to stay the lower court's ruling. She argued that the Supreme Court's order in Herbert v. Kitchen, 134 S.Ct. 893 (2014), is precedent for a stay, that she is likely to succeed on the merits, that sexual orientation is not a suspect class, and that the public interest is served by preventing same-sex marriage.[19] The Third Circuit immediately ordered the case sent to a panel to determine if summary action was warranted.[20]
Court of Appeals dismissal[edit]
On July 3, a three-judge panel of the Third Circuit summarily affirmed Judge Jones' dismissal of the Santai-Gaffney's motion to intervene in Whitewood and ordered her appeal dismissed. U.S. Circuit Judge Patty Shwartz, in a two-sentence order, said such dismissal was warranted "[f]or essentially the reasons set forth in the Opinion of the District Court." Santai-Gaffney's lawyer then said "Our plan is to file something with the U.S. Supreme Court... The people of Pennsylvania deserve to have adequate review of this law."[21][22]
U.S. Supreme Court action[edit]
After the Third Circuit ruling, Santai-Gaffney applied for a stay of judgment from U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Samuel Alito, Circuit Justice for the Third Circuit, docketed sub nom. Santai-Gaffney v. Whitewood, No. 14A19 (July 7, 2014). In her application, the clerk attempted to overcome not only the questions of her interest in intervening and standing to appeal, but that she, as a public official, is suffering irreparable harm. Supreme Court rules also require it probable that four Justices grant certiorari on any question presented in order for a stay to be granted. The counsel of record in clerk Santai-Gaffney's litigation, as listed in court filings, is the Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative Christian nonprofit organization.[23] On July 9, Justice Alito denied the clerk's application for a stay,[24] referencing National Organization for Marriage v. Geiger.[25]
Petition for rehearing[edit]
On July 17, 2014, Santai-Gaffney filed a petition in the Third Circuit to rehear her motion to intervene, or to rehear it en banc. With no judge that concurred in denying the original motion asking for rehearing, and all active judges in the circuit voting against, on August 4, 2014, the petition for rehearing was denied.[26][27]

Heritage Leather Travel Duffel
CA from MC LEAN, VA– Verified Buyer
The perfect carry-on bag! Great for weekend trips but I used it for a 4 day trip with no problem. High quality leather. The only issue I had with this bag was that the clasp attached to the strap broke fairly quickly… I was able to just clip the bag to a loop above the busted strap clasp, which worked out fine. I'm not too sure how much of that was the fault of the bag as I was forced to check it due to a full flight and it's obviously not a bag that's meant to be checked. Regardless of the broken clasp, I get a lot of compliments about the bag and I highly recommend it!
Perfect travel bag!
Elizabeth from Colorado– Verified Buyer
Bought this to take on an overseas flight as a carry on bag. It is the perfect size and the handles are just big enough so you can wear it on my shoulder, although it does come with a shoulder strap too, I have not really used it with that. Great quality bag.

When my grandfather retired from farming in 1940 or 1941, the Swiggums rented the farm. Dorothy was about five years old, and her sister Marjie was very young.

I just have to keep making beats, and sell a couple to get the money to get out of here, then I'm set! This shit is going to blow up, know sayin? No more wiping no fucking tables! My Dad told me I'm getting real good. Karen leans in with my check and smiles wryly and says with enough melancholy to break my heart- Some people are superstars in their own mind. I look at the check for 7.22. I leave her a 5 dollar tip for her wisdom. I walk out into the rain and shed a tear where it is quickly washed away and lost.
the world was in my grasp
and I turned my face away,
because I guess that's who I am.
I guess i'd rather just watch railroad tracks,
Watch the trains rolling out
To California or El Paso,
Tacoma or Ontario,
or other places I'll never go.
I let the door shut
on that perfect person
and for What?
Garbage and Broken families,
shadows of marshland memories,
Cold Tupperwares of tortellinis.
I guess i should have tried,
but it may be
that loving another
just isn't for me.
it's 2 am again, and Marco's softly following a will-O'-the-wisp into the murky depths of the bog, stumbling over logs in the fog, trying to reach the light in the night before the glowing Red eyes of the Beast close in for the feast.
hey first people,
how is the reservation life treating you?
stop another freight train in Canada,
got a job serving drinks
at Red Wind casino?
more teen suicides
as you cry and watch your
culture die
But hey,
keep on giving it a try,
and maybe by 2045
you'll get
those treaty rights restored!
Bob's son is dead, his world ended a few days ago,
But he was at work today.
He looked at me and said How are you Marco,
and I didn't really have a reply, Because
The unliving Eyes of striped bass
and rainbow trout
bore holes in the back of my head.
It stank like fish blood.
I wonder what is happening in Trinidad right now,
it's a weird thing to wonder about
Because as far as my concern goes,
Everyone there
Doesn't even exist.
To me, wage slaves in Thailand or China
are just a great bargain at K-Mart.
But what am I to those slaves,
who put the stitches in my clothing?
Do they think absently about Paterson,
and ponder How was Marco's day?
Because their's
was hen bu Hao!
The world is a psychopath,
so watch where you put those fingers and toes
And Don't trust anyone
you wouldn't piss in front of.

New Rules for Food Establishments
The State of Hawaii has new rules for food establishments that may bring big changes for local restaurants and groceries.
"It's kind of a big deal," said Department of Health (DOH) Inspector Cathleen Sakamoto, of Molokai. "Chapter 50 is very different from Chapter 12 [previous law]. The whole point is to lessen food-spread illness."
Sakamoto held two workshops on the new Chapter 50 regulations last week to educate business owners and pass out information on the changes.
While the new law has been years in the making, she said, Gov. Neil Abercrombie signed it into law in February. As soon as Sakamoto has notified all food establishments on Molokai of the new regulations, inspections will begin, she said.…

So it's okay to carry on liquor? In luggage? (first timer here...just want to get it right)
Log in or Sign up to hide this advert.
You must carry on the alcohol, but yes, you can bring your own on board. PLEASE don't put it in your luggage that you check in and have delivered to your stateroom. Breakage would be devastating to you and any other passengers who have the unfortunate luck of their bags being by yours
Ok thanks! had no idea carry-on liquor was ok! Fabulous
Fabulous is right!!! (Although I still order drinks from the bar; DCL still makes some money on us!)
Sent from my iPhone using DISBoards
Here is DCL's policy:

3,591,037 7/1971 Schrecker 220/54 7 Claims, 5 a g Figures EASY-OPEN CAN END BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This application is a continuation-in-part of an application, Ser. No. 241,535 filed Apr. 6, 1972, now abandoned.
The invention relates to the solution of a problem which was sought to be solved by a copending application in the name of Elton G. Kaminski, Ser. No. 113,330 filed Feb. 8, 1971, and in the parent application of the present invention.
It was pointed out in said copending applications that easy-open ends for cans have come generally into widespread use, particularly when solid foods are packed in cans, substantially the full end panel must be removed. Examples of foods which are packed in cans of this nature are things such as peanuts, potato sticks, candy, ground coffee, and the like.
Many of these materials now packaged in easy-open cans are packaged under high vacuum or high pressure; and in order to avoid danger of either explosion or implosion of thecan end, the scoring residual is made relatively high. The presence of a heavier residual in the score places a greater strain on the rivet head during the opening process and particularly during initial portion of the opening process. In the opening of such an easy-open can, the pull tab is first lifted, thereby puncturing the can end, bending a portion of the end downwardly into the can. Thereafter, the panel with the score line is pulled upwardly by means of the pull tab to remove the panel from the can. During the initial lifting of the tab and bending down of a portion of the end, the rivet is subjected to substantial stress and it is at this point that failure mostoften takes place.
As was also pointed out in said copending applications, various procedures have been adopted in the past to try to overcome the problem of rivet failure. Some of these involve lancing of the tab or scoring behind the rivet; but these attempts have not been uniformly successful because of the wide range of products which are packaged in easy-open containers.
The parent application sought to-solve the problem by means of a pair of beads, one on each side of the rivet, but at that time the parameters which are necessary in order toboth prevent rivet failure and not unduly to increase the effort required to open the can were not known.
The objects of the present invention, therefore, are substantially the same as those of the copending applications, i.e. to provide a beverage type or a full panel easy-open can end in which the strain on the rivet during the opening operation and particularly during the first phase'thereof is relieved so as to preclude rivet failure. At the same time, it is an object to accomplish prevention of rivet failure while at the same time not unduly increasing the effort necessary to open the can.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a can end showing rivet failure.
FIG. 2 is a view similar to FIG. 1 showing a proper opening without rivet failure.
FIG. 3 is a plan view of a can end showing the beads which accomplish the object of the invention.
FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 4 showing a modification; and
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the parameters necessary in order to achieve the desired results.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION FIG. 1 demonstrates what happens with conventional construction. It shows the underside of a panel of conventional form which has been torn from a can by means of a pull tab 19. At 20 it will be observed that the rivet has ruptured. When this happens, it is often impossible properly to remove the easy-open panel from the can.
FIG. 2 shows a similar view of a can end according to the present invention'which has been opened and the underside of the removed panel 21 is shown in this Figure. It will be observed that the rivet has not been broken and thus a part of the object of the invention has been achieved.
In FIG. 3 a can end is indicated generally at 10. It is provided with a circular score line 11 defining the panel which is removed when the pull tab is actuated. The rivet which secures the pull tab to the top side of the can is indicated at 12. At 13 are indicated parallel beads. These beads are preferably depressed, but they will function equally well if raised. These beads are parallel to a diameter of the can end through its center 14, the diameter being indicated by the broken line 15. The broken line 16 indicates a tangent to the rear side of the rivet, i.e. the side of the rivet toward the center of the can end, which tangent is normal to the diameter 15.
Additional beads are indicated at 23 and these beads are generally parallel to the score line 11 so that they make a Vee configuration with the respective beads 13.
As shown in a modification in FIG. 4, the beads may be joined together in a continuous Vee or J-shaped bead as indicated'at 33.
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the relationship of the beads 13 to the rivet 12. The dimension A should be equal to about the rivet diameter plus one-sixteenth inch and the beads 13 should be equally spaced on either side of the rivet 12. They are of course parallel to the line 15 mentioned above.
The dimension B should be not less than 40 percent nor more than percent of the rivet diameter. In other words, the beads 13 should not extend upward as shown in FIG. 6 beyond a tangent to the rivet 12 perpendicular to the line 15.
The dimension C should be not less than 73 percent nor more than 83 percent of the rivet diameter. If beads extend less than 73 percent toward the center of the can, insufficient stress is removed from the rivet and rivet failure is likely to happen. On the other hand, if the beads extend more than 83 percent (dimension C), the opening effort is increased to the point that it is unsatisfactory.
The beads 23 and the portions 23a of the beads 33 act as stiffeners on each side of the tab. Thus, when the end is initially opened, these stiffening beads cause more of the panel to fold downward toward the inside of the can. In other words, a greater arc length of score line to each side of the tab nose is initially fractured. This causes a fold line to assume a more normal position with respect to the ends of the beads which are closest to the center of the end.
It will be clear that minor modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. No limitation not specifically set forth in the claims is therefore intended and no such limitation should be implied.
The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows:
1. In an easy-open metal can end having an integral rivet, a pull tab secured to said panel by means of said rivet, said panel being defined by a score line having a relatively high residual; a first pair of beads disposed equidistantly, one on each side of said rivet, substantially parallel to each other and to a diameter of said can passing through said rivet, and a second pair of beads generally parallel to the periphery of said can end, one of said second pair of beads being associated with each of said first pair of beads in a Vee configuration with the apex of said Vee configuration pointing toward the periphery of the can end.
2. The structure of claim 1, wherein the distance between said first pair of beads is equal to about the rivet diameter plus one-sixteenth inch.
3. The structure of claim 1, wherein each of said first pair of beads extends forwardly of the rivet center between about forty percent and about fifty percent of the rivet diameter.
4. The structure of claim 1, wherein each of said first pair of rivets extends rearwardly of the rivet center between about seventy-three percent and about eightythree percent of the rivet diameter.
5. The structure of claim 1, wherein the beads forming each of said Vee configurations are connected so as to be continuous.
6. The structure of claim 1, wherein the distance between said first pair of beads is equal to about the rivet diameter plus one-sixteenth inch, each of said first pair of beads extending forwardly of the rivet center between about 40 percent and about 50 percent of the rivet diameter, and rearwardly thereof between about 73 percent and about 83 percent of the rivet diameter.
7. The structure of claim 6, wherein the beads forming each of said Vee configurations are connected so as to be continuous.

Phoenix Suns
Tom Chambers: Brian Shaw, Jeff Hornacek should be on Suns' short list of coaches
When it comes to the Phoenix Suns' coaching search, Tom Chambers doesn't have a horse in the race. But as a former player who spent five years with the organization and currently works as a Fox Sports Arizona analyst, the four-time All-Star definitely has an idea of who he'd like to see on the bench next season.
Chambers was a guest of Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Friday and was asked to give the names of a few candidates he thought would make for a great hire.
"A guy who has played in the NBA, a guy who has been on the bench and had some experience, so obviously a Brian Shaw comes to mind," Chambers said. "He's been out there for a long time and should've gotten the job in Los Angeles instead of Mike Brown. Obviously with Mike D'Antoni coming in late, he would have done a tremendous job there."
Shaw, a first-round draft pick of the Boston Celtics in 1988, played 14 seasons in the league and won three championships with the Los Angeles Lakers (2000-02). Following his retirement in 2003, Shaw made the move to the Lakers' bench, where he served as an assistant under Phil Jackson and Rudy Tomjanovich from 2004-11. During his tenure in Los Angeles, the team won two titles.
As Chambers mentioned, Shaw was considered the favorite to fill the Lakers' head coaching vacancy when Jackson retired at the end of the 2011 Playoffs, but the team elected to hire Mike Brown instead.
For the past two seasons, Shaw has served as the Indiana Pacers' associate head coach.
While Shaw has been a popular name in NBA circles of late -- interviewed with Charlotte, Orlando and Portland last summer -- Chambers said he knows another candidate the Suns should consider for the position.
"One name that always comes to my mind who was a coach of mine even though he wasn't a coach on the court was Jeff Hornacek," said Chambers. "He was spectacular, played in the league and was an All-Star in the league.
"I believe firmly that if you've done it and you're asking these kids today to do something you've already done, it's an easier task. Jeff came from a coaching family, he's always been a coach, he had to always work to hone his game...He knows what hard work is all about."
Hornacek has strong ties to the Valley, having been drafted by the Suns in the second round of the 1986 draft. The sharp-shooting guard played six seasons in Phoenix before being shipped to the Philadelphia 76ers in the trade that sent Charles Barkley to the Suns before the 1992-93 season.
The former Iowa State standout played 14 years in the league and made two appearances in the NBA Finals with the Utah Jazz in 1997 and 1998. The two-time All-Star retired in 2000 but was hired by the organization as a special assistant in 2007-08. He became a full-time assistant on Tyrone Corbin's staff beginning in February 2011.
On Wednesday, Arizona Sports 620's John Gambadoro wrote that he thought new general manager Ryan McDonough's short list of candidates included Shaw along with experienced assistants Mike Budenholzer, Kelvin Sampson and Quin Snyder.
When asked about it on Burns and Gambo Thursday, McDonough wouldn't confirm or deny who he had interest in.
"Those [four coaches] are all good names," said McDonough. "The short answer is yes [we're looking at a framework based on guys like that], but the longer answer is we are looking at other guys as well.
"We're open to all kinds of coaches, guys who have had success whether it be at the head coaching level, the assistant coaching level. We're really just trying to evaluate all of them and prioritize that now."
While McDonough said the hiring process started during his initial interview for the GM job, Chambers had one piece of advice for the 33-year-old exec: focus on those who have had success as a coach and as a player.
"When you can interview a Brian Shaw who was with Phil Jackson for all those years or a Jeff Hornacek who was with Jerry Sloan for all those years and also played the game at a high level, I start with people like that."

Keep your fresh-from-the-beach tan going all year long with Dr. Dennis Gross' full-size Alpha Beta® Glow Pads.
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare™
Availability: In stock
Much like competing in the Indy 500, applying sunless tanner is typically best left to the professionals. Not so with these revolutionary towelettes. Unlike many faux-glow lotions, these single-use wipes create a streak-free, non-Oompa-Loompa-looking tan. The perfect addition to your carry-on, this travel-sized kit contains 2 Alpha Beta Glow® Pads for Face and 2 Alpha Beta® Glow Pads for Body to help you score a flawless finish.
Each wipe has major science behind it. First, soy protein kick-starts collagen production and activates the body's own melanin, so the color you get is completely customized. Microencapsulated DHA allows the pigment to develop over time and also ensures an odorless, streak-free application. Alpha & beta hydroxy acids exfoliate, tighten pores, eliminate blackheads, and help fade existing sunspots (whew!). Finally, vitamin D works as a topical supplement—no seasonal affective disorder here!
Apply to dry, clean skin using small circular motions to avoid missing any spots. For light color, perform one circular rotation; for medium color, do two to three circular rotations; and for dark color, repeat circular rotations until the pad is completely dry. Wash hands immediately after use, or use gloves while applying.
Water, ethoxydiglycol, dihydroxyacetone, glycerin, glycolic acid, lactic acid, retinyl palmitate, panthenol, ascorbyl palmitate, ergocalciferol (vitamin D2), tocopheryl acetate, salix alba (willow bark), hydrolyzed soy protein, phospholipids, phyllanthus emblica fruit extract, erythrulose, phytic acid, disodium EDTA, phenoxyethanol
This stuff is great! not streaky, fast and easy to use. Def a go to. Great for on the go as well
Good product, a little streaky if you don't exfoliate before hand. Overall, I would definitely buy this product again for sure!
I really like these, they leave a nice tan for a couple days after application even after you shower, glad I found them. Just pricey though :(
