Jaxhelmer, president* of the Inter-Faith Clergy Council and the other lo-cal pastors. Except for the Rev. John J. Mahon, pastor of Our Holy Re-deemer R. C. Church, who said his parishioners filled the church as usual, though there might have been a few more than us-ual present, churches reported increased attendances ranging from 15 percent to 100 percent at the Transfiguration Episcopal Church, where services were held In the parish house. Rabbi B. Leon Hurwitz of Temple Israel, where efforts were made to increase the con-gregation last Friday night, timated the attendance was close to 75 percent above the average.

During. his talk, Mr. Heatter called for two minutes of silence in memory of the dead of World War 1, and those who have died thus far in r buglers from the Frceport High School band sounded "Taps." Other speakers were Lawrence L^ Luther, former manager of the Department of Sanitation, who is back in this country afr ter serving for more than a year in Great Britain as a field di-r rector of the American Red Cross, and Mrs. Mary Chu, wid-ow of Dr. Farn B.

Six months ago Joseph H. Pearce and George E. Van- Nostrand started the argument by recalling that in 1938 a bill was introduced in Albany giving the village an independent status, separate from the Nassau Coun-ty, but allowed to die in com-mttce. Mr. Pearce .contending that under the present set-up •Preeport- doesn't—even—own^-its sewer system, Urged ""that the legislation be rcintroduccd and pressed for passage. Back in early 193?, when the Nassau County Department of Sanitation; laid out a county-sewer system, it was dis-covered Frceport was included in District 4, which took in Roosevelt, Merrick, Bellmore and additional areas, and faced the prospect of paying 58 percent of the cost of building trunk lines, disposal plants and other structures for the undeveloped areas of the district. "This brAught consternation among taxpayers and a fight was started to remedy the situa-tion. J. Russcl Spraguc, then chairman of the Board of Super-visors, was among the speakers at a mahs meetingr^which—resu4t-ed""" in the adoption of a re-solution at a meeting of the county board on Oct: 25, 1937, designating Freeport as District 4A and exempting the taxpay- (Contlnucd on Page 6) under the command of Alex. G. Reynolds. "The Star Spangled Banner" was sung and the in-vocation was given by the Rev. David G. Jaxheimer, pastor of Christ Lutheran Church, and president of the Freeport Inter- Faith Council. Music was pro-vided by the high school band, directed by J. Maynard Wettlau-fer, Parents and other relatives of the men and women from Free-port who arc serving in the armed forces were guests at the' exercises. There was no solici-tation of funds.

His associates are John Brownlie, chief sector warden and head of the Brownlie Steel Corp., of New York; Wil-liam J. Martin, head, of the coal company bearing his name and of the Freeport Federal Poard.

If any think these values are too high, th6y may app&ar before the board which will sit from 7 to 11 o'clock Tuesday night to hear complaints. Last year there were few pro-tests, and' village officials expect the same situation to prevail this year.

Dn Jones declared "We must .set ouracly.esJ.to—the—complete... overthrow of the Nazis and the Japs." "If these world gangsters should win," he continued, "free-dom and human development probably would be set back for a thousand years. But while we march forward toward victory,., %e must even now lay our plans for a victory that will last, "We need to consider peace- (*lane now.

Then two Mu-nicipal trucks loaded with mem? bers of the Freeport High School Band toured the village, making all the noise they could.

Dr. Jones added "we must refuse to worship the gods of the Axis." He asserted that 'Pride is one god we must re* pudiate^^and that "we should turn from Force as the chief means of justice." The third god is Regimenta^ tlon," he -went on. He conceded that this was necessary in. times such as these, but added, "But let's . not make it -a- habit.

All Aboard? 5 Dieting Derailments
When starting a healthy diet most people have the best of intentions. Maybe God Himself has told you to start watching what you eat! Maybe the Holy Spirit spoke to you through the full-length mirror in your closet! Perhaps you don't feel like buying a larger size of jeans. Whatever your reasons for changing your diet however noble and well intentioned, we have all experienced a certain amount of derailment when it comes to food and getting and staying healthy. Here is a compilation of some of the most common forms of dieting derailment.
Too Restrictive
Diets that are based around strict avoidance of certain foods in some cases can be unhealthy but in most cases can lead to cheating of monstrous proportions. For example, if your diet prohibits all carbs then not only is it unhealthy because your body needs carbs to run efficiently, but after a while you may start to mentally crack and you'll try to make up for all the days of carbs that you missed out on by a massive intake in a single weekend. That would be called a food binge. After the binge you may feel like you are ready to go back to dieting again, but sooner or later your body will start screaming for whatever it might be missing again! Also, let's face it, when you cut carbs out, you do not start craving rye bread and brown rice, you want cookies, cake and doughnuts too! Live and eat with self control and you will be able to change your lifestyle to see positive results in your body. Paul encourages and warns us in 1 Corinthians 9:27 to keep our bodies under control. Remember his words but do not sabotage yourself by setting unhealthy restrictions. Your diet should be healthy and balanced and one that you can implement for the rest of your life.
Too Much Temptation – Get Rid of the Junk!
If you are trying to watch what you eat it will not help you if you open your pantry door only to see twinkies, chips, and unhealthy snack foods staring you down! While putting away meat in the freezer the ice cream screams, "Eat me! For the love of Pete, please eat me!!!" If you have a hard time saying "NO!" to those foods that the rest of your family enjoys eating, either you will falter in your diet or your family might just have to take one for the home team! Don't feel guilty about getting rid of junk food in the house. Replace the junk with healthier options. Your family will miss it but they do not need it either! If you get rid of all the junk food and you find your cupboards nearly bare then it is probably time to stock up on new and healthy food. Dieting does not mean broiled chicken, steamed rice and brussel sprouts every night. There are so many options. If you are leaving behind a lifestyle of processed food then there will be a learning curve to find recipes that are tasty and that work for your family. Get creative, be bold and try new things.There are lots of good recipes out there – look for them and enjoy a healthier new you!
Unwilling to Commit!
I think sometimes we know we need to diet and get "the food thing" taken care of. So, off we go into our new life. Ultimately though, you will not get far if you are dieting out of obligation. This is a case of being obedient but not being willing. The Bible says in Isaiah 1:19, "If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best from the land." You'll never receive the best God has for you if you are not willing, if you are begrudgingly obeying but wishing that you could just forego it all! If God is prompting you to honor Him through your food intake you must truly make a decision that you will be unalterably committed to. If you are not committed you will start and stop your diet on a whim. Usually this diet starts with this mentality; "I will diet but I get one "free" food a week." Meaning, you can eat whatever you want, off the record, one time a week. Then it becomes a free meal, and then a free day because you've been so good during the week) and before long the weekends are all free! And when Summer and Bar-be-que/potluck/picnic season comes along, your dieting goes on hiatus until Fall, only to derail you once more with the arrival of the holiday season a few months later.
The above example is a good way to be on a diet for your whole life and still NOT see results. Making a decision to being committed to your diet should involve goals, guidelines, and knowledge of the fact that you are changing no matter what. You are not going on and off, you are only going on, and after you have lost weight or gotten healthier you will continue to eat appropriately for the rest of your life. To truly make a decision means that you are willing to say good-bye to gluttony for the rest of your life! No going back!
Short- term Thinking
"It's not happening fast enough." Sometimes when people finally decide that they are going to change their lifestyle they are surprised and disappointed that they are not losing 30 pounds in 30 days! True fat loss can only occur at a maximum of about 2 pounds per week. If you lose much more than that then you are probably losing water weight, which will come back on. Worse yet, you could be losing muscle mass, which leads to a myriad of other problems. Our society wants everything NOW! It is hard to think long term, but if you have 50 pounds to lose it is going to take you about a year. So, just keep reminding yourself that you are changing the way you and food operate…permanently.
If you are discouraged by slow results then you will be tempted to bag the whole thing, and that wouldn't get you any closer to the objective! If you have a lot of weight to lose accept the fact that it may take a while, and in the meantime take the first step. Begin!
Skipping meals
I'm not sure if this one deserves to be in the top five of all dieting derailments, but it has been so near to my own life I just had to include it. OK, here's the scenario; I eat a healthy diet. My house is stocked with healthy foods to eat. I am getting hungry. I open the fridge and nothing in there really looks good. I just don't feel like eating any of what is in there. "Oh, I wish I had my pregnancy pop tart stash", I think to myself. Since nothing looks appealing to me I simply go without and then when I can't take the hunger anymore I either overeat at my next meal or I grab something naughty while I am out and about. Well this is obviously no good. First of all skipping meals will slow down your metabolism, which will in turn make it more difficult to lose weight. Secondly, skipping meals will sap your energy and make you feel lethargic. Your body needs a steady supply of food! Lastly, if you skip meals you will get hungry enough sooner or later and then what? Will you make a healthy choice? Will you eat too much? Give your body 5-6 meals a day and you won't be tempted to make poor choices, and you will have optimal energy, and most importantly, your metabolism will naturally speed up and will become your dieting advocate.
If dieting has been a thorn in your flesh for too long get ready to board your train to success without fear of derailment or delay! The key is: Be willing and obedient to your lifestyle change!! Embrace healthy eating with open arms and just watch what will happen. God cannot be mocked; a man reaps what he sows!

It's Day 2 for the Allen Stanford trial in Houston, Texas.
Jury's expected to be seated shortly and each side – government and defense – will have a chance to map out what's to come across the 6-8 week of this federal proceeding.
Stanford, 62, is accused of operating a $7.2 billion Ponzi scheme on investors worldwide with more than a thousand from Mississippi.
I'll give you a sample of what some writers are saying, but perhaps the most curious to me, with all the coverage I've written, is from the New York Post that the government will be "very reliant" on one witness – James Davis, who is well known around Tupelo for his large presence at the Stanford office here, as well as his large house built northwest of Baldwyn, where he and his wife sought to stage a real estate renaissance.
• • •
Here's a look at the Post's Josh Kosman's story, with some insights into Davis and a list of other witnesses:
That witness is Stanford's former finance chief and admitted felon, James Davis.
"You can tell by looking at the witness list," a source close to the situation said, noting Davis is scheduled to testify for 15 hours, more than any other witness — by far.
There are 22 witnesses and the longest any of the others is scheduled to be on the stand is six hours, the source noted.
"He is the longest by far," the source said.
Relying on a star witness who has pleaded guilty to three felony counts can be risky, the source said.
Davis was Stanford's right-hand man, and potentially knows all the secrets.
• • •
International reporters also are on the scene for the trial, given that investors came from everywhere. Stanford also was very big into the sport of cricket, which is an international interest.
Writers also are interested in Stanford's alleged amnesia, which he insists is the result of a jailhouse beating.
Here are bits from write Andy Bull with The Guardian in the U.K:
Allen Stanford. Remember him? Many people would prefer not to, including, it has been argued in a Houston Courthouse, the man himself. His defence say that he is suffering from "extensive retrograde amnesia", a consequence of the vicious assault he suffered while incarcerated in the Joe Corley Detention Facility in Texas.
Stanford, the prosecutor's report continued, claims to be unable to recall events "including his romantic encounters with various female partners, past vacation and holiday activities with his children, visits with famous politicians, as well as details of his business and banking operations." His family members have had to "educate" him about his previous life, and he has "indicated feeling bad after being informed by his family that he was known as a 'womanizer.'"
Stanford's alleged victims, meanwhile, have been fighting a long and frustrating battle to try and reclaim their losses. Lawyers appointed for the receiver said in court filings that despite the $7.2bn represented in account balances at the time of Stanford's arrest, the actual assets totalled only $500m. According to reports made last October, of that sum, less than half, $216m, has been amassed. And after legal and other fees have been deducted only around $80m remains to be divided between the victims.
The cricket community, in stark contrast, has found closure easier to come by. The two Twenty20 matches played by England against the West Indies at the end of the last season were designed to fill the gaps left in the TV schedules by the Stanford fixtures. Otherwise, the whole sorry episode seems to have been forgotten about. The chairman of the England and Wales Cricket Board, Giles Clarke, recently said: "I am not a believer in hanging around with what has happened. One has to move on."
Clarke was talking about the ECB's relations with the Pakistan Cricket Board, but the motto also serves to sum up the sport's reaction to Stanford.

Magic Kingdom Area Monorail delays due to Construction - 2 March - 17 March 2012
If you are visiting Disney World in the coming weeks will find that the Magic Kingdom monorails running on a reduced schedule due to construction work on the Villas at Disney's Grand Floridian.
The monorail service to the Magic Kingdom will face daily disruptions from Friday 2nd March until Saturday 17th March 2012 when all monorail services will be suspended between the hours of 11.30am and 6pm.
This suspension is because of the construction work on the new DVC villas adjacent to the Grand Floridian. Disney also says that the downtime will be used to perform "planned maintenance" on the monorail infrastructure.
Additional buses and water transportation will be used to accommodate guests travelling to and from the Magic Kingdom, as well as those staying in Magic Kingdom area resorts normally serviced by the monorail.
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.

no matter how close or far apart you may be.

Jet Blue To Begin NonStop Service To NYC
By Fred Martino
JetBlue Airways will be offering a non-stop flight from Albuquerque to New York City starting this spring. Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry made the announcement Wednesday during his state of the city address. The mayor's office says the deal stems from months of talks between Berry and JetBlue executives.
The mayor calls it a huge step for the city that will add new business and tourism opportunities.
The non-stop, daily flights to JFK International Airport are scheduled to begin in April.
City officials say Albuquerque hasn't had regularly scheduled service into the New York area since service to Newark, N.J., ended in 2008.

Creamy Butternut Squash Soup with Sherry
Author Notes: I've been making the same basic butternut squash soup for years, adding twists and tweaks as I see fit, and it never fails to satisfy me when a chill enters the air. It's smooth and creamy, the way I think squash soup should be, and it's the perfect thing to whip up over the weekend to have in your fridge all week long. This version relies on sherry for depth and a little intrigue -- if you don't have sherry on hand, you can skip it, or just substitute with brandy (Madeira would be nice) if you have some lying around. - merrill
Serves 4 to 6
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large leek, white and light green part only, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1 3-to-4-pound butternut squash, peeled and cubed
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 3 tablespoons dry sherry, plus more to finish
- 2 to 3 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream, plus more for serving
- Melt the butter in a large stockpot over medium-low heat. Add the leek and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until softened—this should take about 5 minutes (if leek starts to brown, add a tablespoon or so of water).
- Add the squash, nutmeg, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add the sherry and cook for a couple of minutes to reduce, then add enough chicken stock just to cover the squash (if you have added all of the stock and still need more liquid, add some water).
- Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, for about 20 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
- Using a blender or a food processor, blend the soup with the milk in several batches, adding more liquid if necessary.
- Return to the pot and heat until just simmering. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Stir in another splash of sherry and the cream just before serving, adding a drizzle of cream to garnish each bowl if you like.

Who says you can only have butternut soup in the fall?! I didn't have cooking sherry on hand, but I added brown sugar and a touch of hazelnut extract. Delish. Try using a stick blender if you have one, that way you can blend the soup right in the pot without the hassle of transferring.

Made it today? Amazing recipe!!! Definitely a do over!!

Thanks for your input -- when I reheated it I added a little sherry, nutmeg and some brown sugar as you suggested and everyone LOVED it!! I served it with a dollop of creme fraiche and sprinkled a few pomegranate seeds on top - YUM and looked beautiful. Thanks for your help!

I make this soup frequently and I've used the TJ's pre-cut squash for this soup before and it seemed fine. Maybe the squash was old?
7 months ago Nushin
HELP! I made this soup in the past and it was sweet and AWESOME. I doubled the recipe to serve for Thanksgiving and just tasted it and it is bland, not rich, not sweet. Hard to explain. The only thing I did differently was used pre-cut butternut squash from Trader Joe's -- do you think this impacted the flavor? What should I add to make it sweeter? More nutmeg? More sherry? Should I add cinnamon?? it looks BEAUTIFUL but I need to spice it up and am not sure what what ingredient. Thanks so much.

Merrill is a co-founder of Food52.
So sorry to hear this! I'm afraid it was probably the squash -- maybe it wasn't fully ripe when it was cut, or it may have been sitting around for a while. Without tasting the soup, it's hard to recommend a specific fix, but you could try adding a little more sherry and maybe some brown sugar for sweetness/richness, and definitely a bit more nutmeg. Did you season it well with salt? Salt can do wonders to help coax out the other flavors.
8 months ago Nushin
I made this last night and LOVED it! I used skim milk and skipped the heavy cream. I am thinking about serving this for Thanksgiving also -- do you think I can make this a few days ahead and keep refrigerated?
8 months ago Nushin
Thanks -- one more question -- have you ever substitute almond milk or coconut milk for whole milk or heavy cream? Thanks.
8 months ago Nushin
Can I use skim milk versus whole milk? Will kids eat this soup given that "sherry" is an ingredient?
8 months ago
Merrill is a co-founder of Food52.
You can, yes, but you can also leave the milk out altogether and just use an extra cup of stock when making the soup. And kids should enjoy this soup -- the sherry (except for the splash you add at the end, which is optional) gets cooked so the alcohol evaporates.

Well now, I SERIOUSLY want to cook this soup! It just shrieks "FALL!!!!"

Can this be made with already cooked squash? I hate the peeling and cutting and have gotten into the habit of roasting butternut squash whole.

Made this again. Boy it's good! Love this time of year for wonderful, hardy soups.

Oh! So good! This is one of those fabulous recipes that is just so clean, without any 'fluff' needed to cover up lack of taste. Few ingredients combine to make a big full tasting soup. And, bonus, it's quick and easy. This will become a regular on the winter rotation!
over 1 year ago KatieSid
This soup came together so quickly -- and the sherry gives it fantastic depth of flavor. This will definitely make into my winter soup repertoire.

This is the third recipe that I've made from the holiday app. I can't tell you how inspiring the app is. Best cook book ever! Anyway, made it ahead ffor dinner with friends after Thanksgiving. Taste test is great! Happy Thanksgiving!

This soup is absolutely amazing! My whole family loved it.

The sherry was an excellent addition. It will be hard for me to make another butternut soup since I will always be comparing it to this one.

Merrill, your soup was a huge favorite at my book launch party - I think we all have made it at least once since that night!

Scuba diving in Costa Rica is distinct from any other scuba diving location. It presents two different, widely diverse locations for diving. There are many different things to see and experience. Somehow, like any scuba diving adventure, it is best to have a guide that is familiar with the area. In this way, you will be assured with great fun and safe dive.
If you are not familiar with scuba diving and would like to get a sight with the amazing underwater world that Costa Rica has to offer, many of the motels, as well as the travel companies, offer scuba diving lessons. Near perfect conditions such as excellent water temperatures to amazing marine life makes scuba diving in Costa Rica among the best. There are many admirable destinations to dive on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. The area called Bahia Drake has amazing dive spots, especially around the Isla del Cano, as well as the Isla del Coco. Off the coasts of the two islands is an amazing display of marine wildlife. Around these islands are rich of sharks, sea turtles, and several different species of fish, making them the perfect underwater paradise for divers.
Also found around the Isla del Cano is over eighteen different species of coral, several species of dolphin, and many more species of crustaceans. Also on the Pacific coast, you can find many different species of shark, including the dangerous hammerhead and the enormous Whale Shark. However, while the Pacific coast is filled with beautiful fish and incredible sea life, it pales in comparison to the wildness of the Caribbean coast. On the Eastern coast of Costa Rica, there are very few scuba diving centers, however, the diving is still prime.
Scuba diving in Costa Rica would not be complete without amazing shipwrecks to explore. The Caribbean Coast offers three. The first is the Fenix, which was a cargo ship that sank off the coast of Isla Uvita in Costa Rica many years ago. Further south you will find Cahuita National Park and a reef that is nearly seventeen hundred feet long and covers a total of 63,828,741 square feet.
It is on this reef where the second and third shipwrecks can be seen; two galleons of either Spanish or French origins, believed to be pirate ships, sunk in only twenty-three feet of water. Their surroundings could not have been more apt for a shipwreck, surrounded by the beauty of an incredible coral reef and thousands of fish of different species. Knowing the outstanding underwater worlds that blossom on either side of Costa Rica will bring much excitement to visit and experience scuba diving in Costa Rica.

SHARP and lustrous, translucent xls on contrastin quartz matrix. Old material from 1970s
ex. Marilyn Dodge
Crystallized Rose Quartz is rare enough, but here it is combined with very attractive resinous brown Eosphorite crystals. They are arranged in such a way as to resemble a petrified log place aesthetically on a bed of crystals. An outstanding thumb for rarity and classy combination.
We have all seen eosphorite on RQ combos , of course. These were a mainstay of the mineral market from the late 1970s, and still trickle out on occasion. But THIS superb competition-level specimen has such aesthetics and contrast, it just zoomed out at me the first time I saw it on a colelctor's shelf and I always wanted it since. I exchanged it from them and now have it for sale, years later. The eosphorite spray is what makes the piece unique - so many of these have lots of eosphorite crystals, but widely dispersed on the matrix and thus lacking the impact you see here of the contrast of both color and geometry. ex. Dick and Mary Nelson collection.
ex. Ernie Schlichter
This is a classic example of the fairly rare phosphate, eosphorite, with unusually individualized crystal rising from crystallized rose quartz which is itself draped over a matrix of crystallized clear quartz. This combination from Brazil came out at the heyday for this locality more than 25 years ago - none of this type have been found since and they remain a highly desirable classic. The light brown eosphorite crystals, to 1.5 cm, are sprinkled liberally over the top of the specimen and stand starkly - most such specimens have much less relief to them. In addition, I really like the color contrasts. Note that the piece can be displayed vertically, as well.
Eosphorite is one of the less common phosphate minerals that can be cut into collector's gems. This stone, despite some eye visible inclusions, does have a very attractive peachy-orange color. These stones are by no means common on the market, especially in gems over 1 carat like this "Pear" cut gem. Keep in mind that the vast majority of facet grade Eosphorite comes from Brazil, and is almost never 100% clean.
5.2 x 1.2 x .4 cm. Truly exceptional crystal of Eosphorite. Aside from being the largest one I have seen, it has excellent luster, lovely striated faces, it is gemmy, and, above all, it is doubly terminated!
3.8 x 3.1 x 2.0 cm. This is a superb specimen of a very rare phosphate from a world-famous locality. Zanazziite is a hydrated calcium magnesium iron aluminum beryllium phosphate and some of the crystals of this species are found at this locality. This piece has a scattering of large, semi lustrous, well-formed, translucent, green spheroids of the rare phosphate Zanazziite associated with golden-brown, gemmy crystals of Eosphorite which are sitting on gemmy, crystallized Rose Quartz and white Quartz matrix. This specimen is over 25 years old and is from the ORIGINAL find from the 1970's that was brought to the United States by Richard Kosnar. Ex. Kosnar Collection.
8.4 x 5.3 x 3.9 cm. An OLD-TIME and showy specimen of dark brown eosphorite crystals surrounded by carbonatian apatite-(OH) on cleavelandite matrix from the renowned pegmatites at Newry, Maine. A glassy, green elbaite crystal on the end, next to the eosphorites is a very nice accent. Ex. George Elling Collection, Ex. John Albanese.
4.6 x 3.0 x 3.0 cm. This is a superb specimen of a very rare phosphate from a world-famous locality. Zanazziite is a hydrated calcium magnesium iron aluminum beryllium phosphate and some of the crystals of this species are found at this locality. This piece has a scattering of large, semi lustrous, well-formed, translucent, green spheroids of the rare phosphate Zanazziite associated which are sitting on translucent crystallized Rose Quartz and white Quartz matrix. The aesthetics and superb quality of the Zanazziite spheres on this specimen make it a great treasure. This specimen is over 25 years old and is from the ORIGINAL find from the 1970's that was brought to the United States by Richard Kosnar. Ex. Richard Kosnar Collection.
8.4 x 5.0 x 3.2 cm. Watermelon tourmaline 4.5 cm jauntily placed on the front of a large eosphorite crystal. The blue-green indicolite tourmaline with the pink core is beautiful, in itself. The combination with the well-formed eosphorite is indeed, remarkable.
4.6 x 1.7 x 0.9 cm. A fine, sharply terminated, gemmy and lustrous, honey-brown eosphorite crystal from Linopolis, Brazil. This is CLASSIC, OLD material from the Ed Swoboda Collection. This is a large crystal of this rare phosphate.
2.8 x 1.1 x 0.7 cm. A gemmy, sharp, honey-brown esophorite crystal with a very fine pyramidal termination. This pristine, fatty is from a MOST UNCOMMON Brazilian locality - Lavra do Criminoso in Minas Gerais. The UNRETOUCHED backlit photo highlights the gemminess and color saturation. Another specimen from this locality is featured in John Barlow's fine book. Ex. George Elling Collection.
3.7 x 3.3 x 1.5 cm. Olive-green microcrystals of zanazziite are beautifully peppered on a gorgeous mounded matrix of glassy rose quartz crystals and supremely accented by a small comb of brown eosphorite blades on the middle, left side.
10.2 x 6.6 x 3.9 cm. A really elegant, castellated piece comprised of stair-step rose quartzes shooting up off clear or milky quartzes, all sprinkled with really sharp, elongated, translucent eosphorite crystals to almost 1 cm in size. It is not a killer rose quartz, perhaps, because the intensity is a little dark - but it IS a very , very good piece, quite impressive, and a fabulous example of this particular old find (associated with the eosphorite) from the late 1970s. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.
4.6 x 2.2 x 1.7 cm. A fine specimen of the rare phosphates zanazziite and eosphorite, on vibrant pink and glassy rose quartz crystals from the famous Lavra da Ilha pegmatite located on an island in the Jequitinhonha River of Minas Gerais. Lavra da Ilha is the Type Locality for the olive-green zanazziite microcrystals.

British prosecutors have charged a former aide to British Prime Minister David Cameron and a close confidant of media baron Rupert Murdoch with illegal eavesdropping on voice mail, authorities said Tuesday.
Cameron's former director of communications Andy Coulson is among eight journalists facing charges, as is Rebekah Brooks, the former chief executive of Murdoch's News International.
The names of the suspected hacking victims announced include some of the world's biggest celebrities, including Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Paul McCartney, soccer star Wayne Rooney and actor Jude Law.
The phone-hacking accusations have reverberated through the top levels of British politics and journalism, led to the closing of a major tabloid and prompted a parliamentary committee to issue damning criticism of Murdoch.
The charging announcement delivers one more public relations blow to Murdoch, who last week stepped down from a string of company boards of directors and further distanced himself from the print business that first brought him fame and fortune.
Coulson and Brooks are former editors of the defunct Murdoch tabloid the News of the World, which was shut down last year in the face of public outrage at the hacking scandal. That preceded News Corp.'s decision to withdraw a multi-billion-dollar bid to take over British Sky Broadcasting.
Likewise, Tuesday's developments add further potential embarrassment for Cameron, who hired Coulson to run his communications team in May 2010. Coulson quit the post in Cameron's office last year when police opened a new investigation into phone hacking.
It's the first time anyone has been charged with phone hacking in the 18-month investigation.
Brooks, who was charged with conspiracy to intercept voice mails of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler, vigorously denied the charges, saying she was "distressed and angry."
"The charge concerning Milly Dowler is particularly upsetting, not only as it is untrue, but also because I have spent my journalistic career campaigning for victims of crime," she said in a statement released by her lawyers.

TV Watch Survivor
"What I have to do is focus on the positive, visualize success, and just get these negative thoughts out of my head."
– John Cochran, Survivor: South Pacific
Cochrowned! On Sunday, Survivor super fan John Cochran swept the challenges and swept our hearts. More importantly, he swept the jury votes, becoming the third winner in Survivor history – after JT and Earl – to shut out his opposition. Congratulations, Cochran! You win a million bucks and the final Fishy!
When the season started, I thought Cochran was DOA. He was physically maladroit, he was a known backstabber and his skin blistered on exposure to sunlight.
But the politics of the Favorites tribe favored him. Phillip, Andrea and Dawn wanted to work with him while they settled old vendettas. Cochran served as therapist to a group of volatile players.

It has been an exceptionally cutthroat season of Survivor, full of blindsides and broken promises. Two contestants were medically evacuated, one player was voted out in an impromptu tribal council and big characters went down in flames.
On Sunday, the season ended with an unlikely final three: Dawn Meehan, Sherri Biethman, both over 40, and 26-year-old John Cochran, who played his previous season as what some might call a weakling.
The final tribal council was contentious, with each of the nine jurors taking their shots at the finalists. Biethman was criticized for riding the coattails of the other two players. Meehan was attacked for forming personal relationships with contestants before backstabbing them. And Cochran took some heat for sitting back and allowing Meehan to do the work.
And then it was time to reveal the votes. Jeff Probst read the nine votes, and a winner was crowned.

Survivor has been on for 26 seasons now, but the long-running reality show still manages to stay interesting year after year. Case in point: Survivor: Caramoan. With medical evacuations, shocking blindsides and epic meltdowns, the season started out slowly but eventually picked up steam around the merge.
In anticipation for Sunday's finale, Jeff Probst – who has gone on record saying that Survivor: Caramoan was one of his favorite seasons in recent history – handicaps the final five. Who will win? Who doesn't have a prayer? Probst breaks it down for PEOPLE.

"It's a little hard to be living with people for 32 days and have these relationships and what you think is trust, and then find out they've been lying to you the entire time!"
- Andrea Boehlke, Redemption Island
We've been waiting for this moment all season. With antagonists Malcolm and Reynold twirling their mustachios from the jury bench, the remnants of Stealth R Us have to turn on each other. For 33 days, the Favorites have coasted in their easy majority, kept in lockstep by Phillip's relentless drumbeat. With only seven players left, who will take the reins?
The episode came down to an amicable power struggle between Cochran and Andrea. Cochran wants to protect his bestie Dawn and ensure he's part of every alliance. Andrea wants to keep her boy toy Eddie and take out the adorable Brenda.

About two weeks after being voted off of Survivor: Philippines in fourth place, Malcolm Freberg was playing the game again, this time on Survivor: Caramoan.
But physical and mental exhaustion took over, and the L.A. bartender, 25, never got into a solid alliance. Following his elimination last week, Freberg talks about his popularity, sneakiness and his "horrendous" alliance.

"There's no reason to give people a reason to get rid of me."
– Malcolm Freberg, Survivor: Philippines
Goodbye, bro. After 25 straight episodes of Survivor, we finally say farewell to Malcolm Freberg, one of the season's most dynamic characters. Malcolm proved you don't have to be crazy to make the show fun. He was strategic without being robotic; physical without being muscle-brained; charming without being smarmy.
He was the complete Survivor package. So why's he going out in ninth place?

The last time Phillip Sheppard played Survivor, he played a crazy game, running around in pink underwear and wearing feathers on his head.
Returning for Survivor: Caramoan, Sheppard played a more strategic game, but was still called out for his eccentric behavior.
Now on the jury after getting eliminated on Wednesday, Sheppard chatted about his upper body strength, his fear of water and why he's not crazy.

"Early on in this game, I made myself the villain."
– Phillip Sheppard, Survivor: Redemption Island
Oh lucky day! The Specialist has been neutralized!
In a way, all of us has a Phillip to face. For some, shyness might be their Phillip. For the Three Amigos, their Phillip is an overbearing former federal agent (?), who wants to vote them off Survivor.
But as sure as their names are Malcolm, Eddie and Reynold, on Wednesday the Amigos conquered their own personal Phillip – who also happened to be the actual Phillip!

"Everybody tells me all the time how much they believe me, how much they trust me. Were these guys paying attention the first 32 days?"
– Rob Cesternino, Survivor: The Amazon
Has Dawn Meehan hoodwinked her entire tribe? The kindly mother of six adopted children has somehow become Survivor: Caramoan's most fearsome assassin. She lures her prey into a false sense of security – and then, she strikes!
On Wednesday's episode, yet another alliance fell victim to the poison stinger of the weeping Meehan. Malcolm, who somehow isn't on the outs even after his failed coup last week, is nonetheless determined to destroy his position in the majority alliance. He rallies lothario Eddie, sexually ambivalent Michael and exuberant golden retriever puppy Reynold for another putsch.

On Survivor, one of the most fatal mistakes is overplotting.
When Corinne Kaplan, a 33-year-old clinical consultant from Los Angeles, schemed to overthrow Phillip Sheppard, her tribe turned on her instead.
Kaplan opens up about the drama, the lighthearted moments, and the worst contestant she's ever dealt with.

Honeywell QuickSteam™ 3.0 Gallon Warm Moisture Humidifier Product ReviewsModel Number: HWM-330 Category: Humidifiers Room Size: Large Price: $49.99 Honeywell QuickSteam™ 3.0 Gallon Warm Moisture Humidifier Details humidifierI have had several Honeywell humidifiers over the years. This new one replaces one that I have used 24/7 for around 12 yrs. The feature I like as one of the best, is the size of the water tank. It allows you to fill it once every day or two, depending on current humidity. Since I live in a high desert area, we are in an extremely dry climate. Not only is it good for health reasons, but it also helps keep the house from being too dry. I love it. Reservoir is made of very thin plasticThis is the second product we have purchased this year. The first, the plastic water reservoir cracked. I bought another one at the local hardward store and last night the water reservoir cracked on this one. Can I just buy a water reservoir and not the entire product? JSB Honeywell HumidifierThis is my third honeywell humidifier and so far honeywell is the best brand I have ever used. I like the fact that it turns off when the water runs out and also the fact that this latest model does not use filter. I like it. Not easy with hard waterIn 2006 we moved to Arizona. After the first night of dehydrated head I started purchasing humidifiers for the bed room. Ano/cathode steamers lasted a few weeks, evaporators were noisy and became lime clogged and the aluminum baffles became brittle then crumbled after several months. The sonic unit covered the room in fine white powder. Finally I bought 2 of the larger Honeywell electronic models. One lasted 3 and the other 4 yrs. Went through countless mineral pads and still the heater plate would be thick with calcium carbonate (rock), bought distilled vinegar 2 gallons at a time. Despite the lime problem they were the most reliable, no odor, acceptable quiet & efficient humidifiers tried to date. This year we moved to MO. , no longer need to run one year round. So for the winter of 12/13 we bought the dial control smaller version of the quicksteam line, and bought one for our son when he moved to a new apartment In CT. His water is soft and the unit cleans with a wipe of paper towel. They both work fine, There is a non-stick coating on the heating element that allows the vinegar to rempve chunks of lime quickly. Highly recommend if you have soft water... or hard water for that matter, you'll just have to keep after the buildup. quicksteam mineral absorption padI need to know exactly how to use the mineral absorption pad or if I need to utilize it. Please help. Donald J. Ford DeadWorked for a couple weeks, then just died. This thing wasn't cheap and not at all worth the money. No Visible SteamThere is little to no visible steam. It barely moistens the air in the room. I am exchanging for a different one. A workhorseI've had this model for over 7 years - it's very durable, but time to renew. I've tried others but none was as effective as this. I wish they would upgrade however with more features. It is quiet and produces a lot of soothing steam. I would recommend to anyone. Easy to fill, also. humidifierUnit is listed as three gallon, but water tank only holds less than two gallons, which means I have to fill it every other night. ShOcKiNg!!!!Filled it once, ran it during the night. It was empty when I woke up the following morning. I reached for the tank to refill and it shocked me. I returned the product for a refund. Water leakOur humidifer has water flowing out the front onto the carpet. Will change gasket on tank but when filling does not seem to leakfoosmarkNot to impressed right now. It was working great and then stopped.just the right functionsThis product has just the right simple functions - warm mist, low and high range, and humidity control. Can always use a larger tank, but then it gets heavier.HCW-330This unit certainly serves our needs.. nice and quiet and efficientlasts at most a yearstops working all of a sudden. first one lasted six months and second one year. to the customer service's credit, they have replaced it once and are replacing it again. i would of course prefer a refund. my advice would be to buy a reliable one which may cost more but will at least do the job for some years. lasts at most a yearstops working all of a sudden. first one lasted six months and second one year. to the customer service's credit, they have replaced it once and are replacing it again. i would of course prefer a refund. my advice would be to buy a reliable one which may cost more but will at least do the job for some years. HWM-450 serviceI just want to say how happy I am with this product! Mine was the HWM-450 4 gal.unit. Ran it trouble free for almost 4 sesons, which is surprising as the water mineral content in my area was very high. The heating plate seemed to have stopped working and I wanted to purchase another or get repaired. I contacted Kaz and returned it. They sent me another similar one which even seems better, and at no cost except shipping! Outstanding service! This product is used for a variety of things, it steams model ship planking for bending better than anything I have ever used, it also will warm up cold defrosted mice for my snakes when they don't feel particularly hungry with a cold one! HWM 330Love the humidifier but the water tank cracked. I hope to find easy resolution to obtaining a new one. thanks.Warm Mist HumidiferI've had this humidifier for about 2 weeks now and I love it so far. I keep it on high so the tank only lasts about 12 hours but that's fine with me. |

The boss of British Gas has warned gas and electricity prices in the UK are likely to continue rising for at least the next ten years.
Managing director of the firm Phil Bentley said the cost of upgrading the nation's infrastructure and a range of green taxes will be the primary drivers of higher tariffs, the Daily Telegraph reports.
The publication said it is estimated a range of eco-friendly measures will add around £140 to the average domestic energy bill over the next eight years, while improvements to power networks are expected to require investment of between £80 billion and £100 billion.
While he did not give a projected figure for total bill rise, he said it may be several hundred pounds per year.
However, he added many people do not currently have the right priorities when it comes to making their usage more efficient or paying bills.
Mr Bentley said: "People will pay their Sky bill before their energy bill ... There has got to be a sensible debate about it."
He noted that as the basic unit price for gas and electricity is likely to rise, homeowners "are therefore going to have to be more diligent in saving energy".
The executive also warned of unintended consequences of drive to simplify the energy sector, which he said could result in the cheapest tariffs being withdrawn from the market.
Recently, Mr Bentley denied "profiteering" as he defended British Gas' profits for 2011, stating just 5p of every £1 of a person's bills is profit for the company.

Series V – Encapsulated Strain Gauges with a 3-m Stranded Connection Wire
Series V encapsulated strain gauges provide a high degree of mechanical protection as well as a PVC-insulated stranded connection wire 3 m in length.
Type LV41 is an encapsulated linear strain gauge for strain measurements in one direction.
Type XV91 is a 0°/90° rosette for analyzing biaxial stress states with known principal strain direction.
Type RV91 is a 0°/45°/90° rosette for analyzing a biaxial stress state with unknown principal strain direction.
Series V strain gauges are available with a nominal (rated) resistance of 120 ohms with temperature responses adapted for steel.
Temperature range | Direction of strain | Special protection available? | Connection possibilities |
- 269 °C … + 200 °C | Uniaxial | Yes | Stranded connection wire |
Tips for Selecting Strain Gauges
The right measuring grid length: The measuring grid length depends on the aim of measurement, since the result of a measurement with strain gauges (SGs) will be determined as the average of strains. In general, measuring grid lengths of 3 to 6 mm represent a good solution.
Long measuring grids are recommended where there is an inhomogeneous material such as e.g. concrete or wood. A long strain gauge will bridge the inhomogeneities of the workpiece and return the strain underneath the measuring grid as the measurement result.
Short measuring grids are suitable for detecting a local strain state. They are therefore suitable for determining strain gradients (strain gauge chains), the maximum point of notch stresses and similar stresses.
The right resistance: The selection of the resistance depends on the constraints of the measurement task. 120-ohm strain gauges are relatively insensitive to fluctuations in the insulation resistance, for example due to the effects of moisture.
The advantage of higher impedance strain gauges is that they produce less specific heat due to the lower measuring current. In addition they are less sensitive to resistances in the connecting cables to the measuring amplifier. There is also a disadvantage that higher impedance strain gauges may be more sensitive if noise pulses are received.
