Free standard shipping on full-size orders $50+
Love it. Holds all my keys. Well constructed. Nice quality leather. Sturdy. Practical, yet stylish.
Totally buying a couple more for everything else.
Perfect is you have tons of work keys and want to take them off for weekends and nights. Great heavy masculine look, sturdy as you need!
I carry a store set of keys all day at my job, so this looks good while doing a great job of keeping my keys secured to my waist. The clip is really strong with a tough spring that needs a bit of wear in
I've been searching for a understated keychain and I thought this was the one. I like everything about it except for the size. It's too large for a pocket and I don't know where to put it.
Does what it says it does. Very well constructed. Looks great clipped to any jeans. Great product. Should last a long time.

Encyclopedia of Southern Jewish Communities Overview >> Mississippi >> Rolling Fork Rolling Fork, Mississippi
The 1870s marked the earliest existence of Jewish settlers in the Sharkey County area. In 1875, Ben Pearl came from Germany and settled in neighboring Anguilla as a cotton farmer. His cousin, Henry Kline, joined him nearly a decade later. Kline and his wife Dora farmed with Pearl as well as started a business called Kline's Department Store. Kline's store and cotton business were both quite successful, which inspired his brother to leave Lithuania and move eventually to Alligator, where he started a political and economic dynasty in the northern Delta. Henry Kline not only served as a member of the Pure Milk Association and as chairman of the Sharkey County Democratic Party, but he also taught Sunday school for the local Jewish kids in an area with no nearby synagogue. Kline continued his good work and kept his farm for many decades even as he moved his family to Vicksburg in 1921.
While the Kline family certainly influenced Rolling Fork and its surrounding towns, other Jews began arriving in the area as well between 1880 and 1900. In the 1880s, Charles Blum started a business in Nitta Yuma called The Blum Co.; he served as the town's treasurer in 1898. Issaquena's Mayersville came into existence in 1870 as a major shipping point along the Mississippi River for Sharkey and Issaquena Counties. Named after the Jewish David Mayer, the town soon depopulated from changes in the railroad. In Cary, a former Russian immigrant peddler from New York named Morris Grundfest came to the area in the late 1880s and became a cotton grower with his wife, Mollie Bernstein Grundfest. Receiving citizenship in 1899, Grundfest's land always served as a family farm, as it does today under the guidance of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Lamensdorf. In addition, the Grundfest roots also became intertwined with such people as Clarksdale's Jack Ross of "The Style Shoppe" and Greenville's Stein family known today for SteinMart.
While the Jewish population of the area was not great enough to support many Jewish organizations, there was an interesting exception. According to the 1907-1908 American Jewish Year Book, there existed a group called the Deer Creek Zionists under the guidance of Secretary S. Levin, which affiliated itself with the Federation of American Zionists. Levin was a Jewish immigrant from Russia who was a Delta merchant. It's unclear how large or active this group was, but in an area where assimilation was the goal, identifying oneself with the movement to create a Jewish state in Palestine was extremely rare.
While Sharkey County in the early twentieth century was home to multiple cotton farms, towns like Rolling Fork were still quite small and undeveloped. In 1920, only 500 people lived in Rolling Fork, a town that had no sidewalks, paved streets, recreational facilities, or industry. According to a Jewish population study of 1937, Rolling Fork had fourteen Jews at the time. While Rolling Fork was officially incorporated as late as 1919, the town would not change until the emergence of one man.
In the late 1890s, two Russian immigrants named Charles and Alice Rosenthal gave birth to Sam Rosenthal in Brooklyn, New York. By age three, the Rosenthals moved to Natchez, where Sam enjoyed his childhood. After a short stint in New Orleans, Rosenthal moved to Rolling Fork in 1919 to join his brother's clothing store. An outspoken gentleman, Rosenthal found himself elected as an alderman by April 8, 1924. A few months later, the mayor of Rolling Fork resigned, as he moved outside the city limits. Although Rosenthal had no real interest in the position, future Governor Fielding Wright nominated him as a mayoral candidate. Sam Rosenthal was elected on July 3. From 1924 until 1969, Sam Rosenthal, nicknamed "Mr. Sam," served as mayor of Rolling Fork continuously in a place with few contested elections.
As mayor, his first acts in the 1920s were to introduce a credit structure for the local lumber yard and to invest in a new generating motor in order to improve electricity in this rural Delta area. When the levee broke in the 1927 Great Mississippi River Flood, Rosenthal evacuated everyone on a train to Vicksburg before the town completely flooded, while Rosenthal stayed to watch over the city. Sources say that as much as seven feet of water flooded the town in the late 1920s. While the Great Depression caused most places to struggle, Rosenthal used the Works Progress Administration of the New Deal to pave the roads of Rolling Fork. With 100 men paid a dollar per day, the project was complete by the end of the 1930s.
Even as the boll weevil hit Rolling Fork's cotton crop, Rosenthal's work to build a successful town did not end. He modernized Rolling Fork with schools and a library, while also bringing textile work to an area full of textile raw materials. After World War II, Rosenthal organized the Deer Creek National Gas District, which served five municipalities. He was chairman of the district for nearly fifteen years. During the 1960s, Rosenthal held community discussions to allay tensions during the civil rights movement. Rosenthal was also a city judge and a charter member of the Lions Club along with fellow Jews Sam Lamensdorf, Ed Danzig, and H.C. Glazier Jr. He was also active in the local Jewish community, serving as president of the local congregation. On July 11, 1968, Sam Rosenthal Day was proclaimed, and the city hall of Rolling Fork later renamed its building in honor of him in the 1970s. In 1969, Sam Rosenthal lost his reelection bid, causing him to retire as one of the longest consecutive termed mayors to ever serve.
While Sam Rosenthal certainly dominated the twentieth century history of Rolling Fork and its surrounding areas, other Jewish businesses and institutions existed in the area as well. While a short-lived Zionist club did exist as early as 1908, an official congregation was not founded until the 1950s. Most Rolling Fork Jews were members of the Hebrew Union Congregation in Greenville. The Henry Kline Memorial Congregation was created as an offshoot of the Greenville congregation and lasted almost forty years.
Throughout much of the twentieth century, Lamensdorf's was in business selling quality goods up until the 1990s. The Lamensdorfs were an Austrian family who settled in the Delta after coming to the United States. Benjamin Lamensdorf arrived first in the 1880s. His descendants married into the Grundfest family, who continue to farm cotton today. Sam Rosenthal owned a Furniture and Dry Goods store, which later became Mr. Sam's Clothing Store. Dr. Kornblum advertised his services as an optometrist. In the 1930s, Rolling Fork was home to businesses such as Silver's Dry Cleaners. By the 1950s and 1960s, Mr. Sam's reforms and improvements of Rolling Fork made the area popular among Jewish merchants, as the area had nearly sixty Jewish residents during these decades. These Jews served as bankers and as dry goods merchants. Business was so prosperous at this time that merchant Ed Danzig had to use a cow bell on Saturday night to tell town shoppers that the businesses were ready to close at midnight. These were prosperous times in Rolling Fork; however, they would not persist.

The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — October riverboat gambling revenues rose 4 percent statewide over the same month a year ago, but that number is skewed by a new St. Louis casino that wasn't included in last year's tally.
Patronage at the casinos also was up in the final month before the repeal of the state's loss limits, but that also is tempered by Lumiere Place casino, which opened in December.
Without the $12.6 million reported by Lumiere Place, casino revenues for the month would be down about 6.4 percent statewide — though much of the money lost at Lumiere might have gone to other St. Louis-area riverboats. Without Lumiere's attendance numbers, ridership statewide would be down about 8.3 percent.
Overall, gamblers lost nearly $131 million to the boats in October, with a statewide per-patron loss of $69.26.
In Kansas City, where casinos already are jittery about expanded gambling across the state line in Kansas, revenues dropped 3.5 percent from their year-ago levels and about 50,000 fewer people walked through the turnstiles during the month.
In its monthly report, the Missouri Gaming Commission said only one of the state's 12 casinos, the Argosy in the Kansas City suburb of Riverside, showed an increase in patrons. One casino stayed about the same and nine saw a decline, while Lumiere Place did not have numbers to compare.
The Argosy is one of only three casinos that reported an increase in revenues over October 2007, with a 3 percent rise. The other two are small-market riverboats in LaGrange, which saw a 9 percent increase, and in St. Joseph with a 2 percent increase.
Harrah's in the St. Louis suburb of Maryland Heights had the biggest October revenues at $23.25 million, but that's 8 percent lower than during the same month last year. The casino's patrons lost an average of $80.15 per visit, which also is the state's highest.
Less than a week after Missouri voters approved a measure removing the state's unique loss limits, gambling officials say it's too soon to know whether there has been any impact. Casinos were notified Friday morning by the state that the caps had been removed, effective immediately after Election Day.
While pushing Proposition A, which removed the $500 loss limit per two-hour "excursion," proponents pointed to an estimate by the state auditor's office that eliminating the cap would bring in an additional $105 million to $130 million in new money for schools.
That was before the economy went into a nosedive.
"We're not different than other industries," said Michael Winter, executive director of the Missouri Gaming Association. "There is the potential for individuals to re-evaluate whether want to come to our properties."
He said it's also too early to know whether projections for increased ridership with the passage of Proposition A will be realized because they were made earlier in the year when the economy wasn't so bleak.
"When the proposal was put together, there were some anticipated admission increases, people we thought we were losing to other jurisdictions either because of the loss limits or player's card. It's going to take some time for those things to play out," Winter said.
Rebecca Theim, a spokeswoman for Ameristar Casinos Inc., said the company was "holding its own in a very tough marketplace." October revenues dropped 4 percent at its St. Charles casino, from $23.1 million last year to $22.2 million this year, and 5 percent in Kansas City, from $19.8 million a year ago to $18.8 million this year.
"One of the things we've worked very hard on is being proactive and nimble in this economy," she said. "That doesn't mean we haven't felt it profoundly."
She said part of the decline was expected after the company decided to pare its promotions budget because of the economy.
While promoting Proposition A, supporters warned that the state was at an economic disadvantage to other states that didn't have loss limits and didn't require their patrons to get an identification card to keep track of their losses.
Looming in that discussion was Kansas, which approved casino gambling last year. The $680 million Hard Rock Hotel and Casino complex at Kansas Speedway, slated to open in 2011, is considered a significant threat to syphon revenue from the four Kansas City-area casinos.

Audit: $108,000 taken from Missouri Veterans Commission
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — A former employee of the state auditor's office embezzled nearly $108,000 while working as an accountant for the Missouri Veterans Commission, the state auditor alleged Monday.
Stacy Griffin-Lowery was fired by the Veterans Commission in March 2008 and pleaded guilty three months later to a misdemeanor theft charge. She repaid the state $17,665, the auditor's office said.
But Missouri Auditor Susan Montee on Monday accused Griffin-Lowery of swiping an additional $90,192 by getting reimbursed for cash advances and purchases made on her personal credit card. -

By late afternoon on Porter's second day of the hunt, the rain stopped in time for him to run out with nothing more than a gun, a couple of box calls and a camera. Within minutes, a tom was answering! Too bad he wasn't quite ready to strut into shotgun range, but tomorrow is another day. In the meantime, here is a glimpse of Porter's first Alabama outing.
NRA President Jim Porter has his own eye on the outdoors as he and Ray Eye, host of "Eye on the Outdoors," head out to chase Osceola—subspecies No. 1 of the four he needs to achieve his grand slam.
While U.S. upland bird seasons are closed by March, this month is prime time for quail hunting in some parts of sunny Mexico, particularly for the black-throated bobwhite variety found throughout the Yucatan Peninsula. NRA Outdoors, an affiliate partner that organizes hunting and fishing excursions specially tailored to NRA members, offers an intriguing three-day hunt in Yucatan's rural northern coastal plain, not far from the tourist mecca of Cancun. A party of six American hunters, including NRA Outdoors chief Greg Ray and Editorial Director John Zent, found the welcome there to be as warm as the weather, the birds were abundant, and the shooting downright excellent.
Since junior high, NRA Publications Editorial Director John Zent has had a love-hate affair with shotguns. He loves 'em when he hits; hates 'em when he misses. Of course, he knows better than to blame the gun, but he has to live with himself and can always switch to a new shotgun—right? Or perhaps he can really be fickle and have 10 favorite wingshooting buddies. Check out John's Top 10 shotguns.

Elk don't have a habit of making things easy on hunters, and the herds prowling of the hills in and around Coalville, Utah, were no different last November when Associate Online Editor Shawn Skipper joined Federal Premium Ammunition for a hunt hosted by R&K Hunting Co. Snow, wind and rough terrain awaited—but, fortunately, so did a few bulls. Get a closer look at the trip with this gallery.
Orion himself would alight from his celestial abode for a chance at hunting the hallowed grounds of the Southern flooded cypress.
Assistant Online Editor Sarah Smith Barnum recently spent some time with Ducks Unlimited and Winchester in Butte City, Calif., duck hunting at the breathtaking Bird Haven Ranch. Here's a first-hand look at what she saw.
Editorial Director John Zent and Development Manager Tom Rickwalder were in Canadian, Texas, with Winchester Ammo last month for a "R&D" outing, testing a new load that's still in the development process. Early indications are that the developmental load—due for release in January, 2015—will be great shakes for deer hunters. Mt. Hide Outfitters did a fine job putting the hunters on deer on this north Texas ranch.
Bird hunters and target shooters alike will have the opportunity to get their hands on the next generation of Benelli shotguns in 2014, thanks to the impending introduction of the company's new Ethos model. NRA Publications Editorial Director John Zent wanted to spend a little more time evaluating the Ethos' field performance—which led him to this waterfowl hunt in Chestertown, Md.

Cisco Prime Network Registrar Overview
• A single DHCP server for device network access
• A single DNS server for IP address translation and service delivery
• A DNS caching server that supports DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) for added DNS security that is designed to prevent cache poisoning and other attacks
• A powerful, comprehensive IPAM system to automate and manage all IP address requirements
The Solution Offers
• Speed and scalability: Blazingly fast, the Cisco Prime Network Registrar DHCP server is also the industry's most scalable-supporting 50 million-plus devices in a single customer deployment. The recursive, extremely fast, Cisco Prime Network Registrar DNS Caching Server offers significant acceleration of DNS query throughput.
• Reliability: The solution offers multiple levels of redundancy with DHCP safe failover and support for High-Availability DNS (HA-DNS). A patent-pending discriminating rate limiter provides unsurpassed DHCP avalanche prevention to reduce downtime after network outages.
• Consolidated IPv4/IPv6 address management: Cisco Prime Network Registrar includes integrated, full lifecycle management for IPv4 and IPv6 and allows dual-stack deployments on a single server. The full-featured DHCPv6 server provides support for address assignment, both stateless and stateful configuration, and prefix delegation for full IPv6 address management. The IPAM component helps ease the transition to IPv6 with the ability to discover and take inventory of IPv4 and IPv6 resources, plan and model the way an IPv6 network is deployed, and map a current IPv4 network and devices to an IPv6 space.
• Management complexity minimized with centralization and automation: Cisco Prime Network Registrar IPAM allows administrators to control and monitor DNS and DHCP servers from a centralized location, providing a single point of data aggregation and delegation. This helps to synchronize information, eliminate many manual, time-consuming, and error-prone tasks, and reduce complexity and operating costs. In addition, with the ability to discover, track, allocate, assign, and reclaim IP addresses automatically, network operators can easily achieve significant efficiencies. Automation also helps eliminate IP conflicts and configuration errors, reducing downtime of DHCP and DNS services and lowering network operating costs.
• Extensibility: Powerful, industry-leading extension support for both IPv4 and IPv6 allows network operators to alter and customize DHCP server operations for both IPv4 and IPv6, improving network security, network performance and third party application integration.
New in Release 8.0
• A new, robust IPAM solution: Innovative tools provide centralized, full-lifecycle support of IP addresses, facilitating easy, integrated management of IPv4 and IPv6 address space, address assignment, and allocation/reallocation - as well DHCP configurations - all in one solution.
• DNS caching server: The Cisco Prime Network Registrar DNS caching server improves speed/performance of high volume recursive queries. The DNS caching server performs DNSSEC validation, authenticating the origin of DNS data as it transits the network and protecting resource records against DNS vulnerabilities such as DNS cache poisoning. The DNS caching server also supports DNS64, providing IPv4 access for hosts with only an IPv6 address.
• Componentized licensing: Cisco Prime Network Registrar is licensed by component - DHCP, DNS, IPAM, and DNS Caching are all licensed individually in order to meet different customers' requirements. Components can be purchased individually or as one of two suites (DHCP/DNS or DHCP/DNS/IPAM).

Anyone know how to make one? or a place i can figure out because after im done with my Mandalorian Armor im planing to make a predator suit. Anyone made one before who can help me?
Discussion on Off Subject but Predator Suit? within the Prop Building Workshop forum, part of the Community category; Anyone know how to make one? or a place i
Anyone know how to make one? or a place i can figure out because after im done with my Mandalorian Armor im planing to make a predator suit. Anyone made one before who can help me?
Come visit us, my young Padawan....
Most people there aren't going for screen-accurate Predators (unlike here ), instead the majority of the members just make "A" Predator, a member of their race.
Just a wonder how did you start? did you do a body cast or something? and thanks for the site.
Thank you for that link Mr Fett. This is going to help me a lot with the post I just put up about foam, foam rubber and latex.
Eagleskull, no body cast. I bought a pre-made latex Predator muscle suit for the body. I'm super skinny so I had to pad the insides to make me fill out a bit.
My armor is mostly resin and fiberglass.
you guys know where i can find that clicking noise that the pred does? I want to use it for something and loop the sound.
Man im in a trip box, i dont know what to get for my birthday my limit is 150 and i can ether get a Predator Bio Helmet, or a pair of ESB gauntlets, What do you think i should get?
Bad place to ask that kind of question, Id go with the ESB
o i know but better get some help from friends lol
Tell you the truth, If you already have a ESB done and you just want to upgrade. Then Id hold off and go for the predator. Thats just me!
shortimer52 has a point. Instead of upgrading, you could start a whole new costume!
I finally got a Bio Helmet and im very happy how it looks lol but im going to start on the dreads out of clay and cast them but does any1 know what cold foam is???
Cold foam is a type of latex that cures at room temperature and does not need to be baked. There are several issues with it though. It tends to be exceedingly porous and the bubbles within the interior are large sometimes leaving pockets. It also must be used in a very well ventilated area due to the fact that it releases an Isocyanate gas when curing. (Cyanide Gas)
The foam latex you bake and is often used for Special F/X prosthetic appliances has a very little bubbles within the piece when done and is typically very flexable depending on the grade. One set back to foam latex though is that the oils from your skin break down the composition of the material. So it should be maintained with care and armoralled regularly.
Cold foam is what's used most for Predator dreads. You can make them look better by coating them in latex, or leave them as is. I've seen nice looking masks with both styles.
You should post a pic of the ones we dipped Mr. Fett.
They are the cold foam dipped in jet black slush layex.
Don't have any really good close-ups right now, but this one has me on the left with the cold foam dreads dunked in Monster Maker's dipping latex (though some people airbrush colored latex onto dreads as well), the one in the middle is the foam backer-rod with the tips sanded down to points, and the one on the right is cold foam without any added latex. That one has dread rings molded right into the mold.
I love those Hunters and now more then ever want Cold foam locks, Hey Mrfett you didnt get the locks for king jamie did you or you made them?
The ones on the middle Pred are from King Jamie. He uses the polyfoam backer rod.....but a better version than the normal backer rod. Mine are from another guy who doesn't make them anymore. They were white, and E2K13 and I dunked them in dipping latex (mixed with black latex dye) and hung up to dry.
I didn't use any dread rings there, but now I'm using some.
someone should do one without the helmet, oh yeah, i believe hollywood-costumes.com has a realistic predator mask... for a price.
A lot of people have done Preds without helmets. A lot better than the one on that website.
Just wanted to show how far I am in my predator suit.
how much did that head cost you?
Looks great
Actually got the head for free off a guy that lives close to me.
Sweet tribal patern on the helmet.. looks really kewl and menacing!
Have you guys seen Batman: Dead End?
It's an awsome fan film, and features an awsome Predator Biohelmet design.
Just thought, I'd mention it.
Batman Dead End, is without a doubt THE best Batman or Predator feature I have ever seen, anyone who hasnt seen it really should try, for me it really conveyed the true spirit of the character Batman and it also showed what can be done by using imagination, talent and a great crew of people, by the way that is a cool looking bio!!
BDE rocks! The helmets in that fanfilm were cast off the same studio molds the movie ones were.
I didn't know that. I know that's the same crew that did Grayson, and World's Finest.Mr Fett said:
All I know is they put some work in to those costumes. Granted...the Batman and Robin costumes could have been a wee bit better, but the Aliens and the Predators ROCKED!
By far my most favorite fan film of all so far.
One of the Alien suits in BDE were borrowed (if I remember correctly) from a guy that owned a screen-used one. Also, the director is an artist who used to work for Stan Winston Studios (and therefore had access to copies of the studio molds for certain parts. The rest they sculpted themselves).
....and if you didn't know, the Joker was played by "Boner" from the 80s TV show 'Growing Pains'...the real life son of Chekov from Star Trek.
Yeah, I thought he looked familiar but I couldn't place it until I looked it up on IMDB.com and saw his name.Mr Fett said:
I had never seen until I read this thread. I just watched it. Wow!
hmmmm... I watched all the predators like 20 times and looking at the costumes they're pretty cool but just looking at them i kinda saw some things that were a little wrong like the hair the both were to thick and thin and long or short i have one of the suites from the movie found it on ebay like 300.00 dollars but i mean its pretty well done
ONe of those 3 pred's has the Boba Fett pose, can you guess which one?
He the blue one on the left i can tell by the mask
i didnt read anything till like 10:00

By BRENDAN McGAIR
PAWTUCKET ã A few PawSox post-division clinching notes to pass along:
-- Though he didnãt name specific names, manager Gary DiSarcina did say that he fully expects to lose players on Sunday, the first day that MLB rosters expand from 25 to 40.
ãI would think so. Probably one from each position,ã DiSarcina said. ã(Red Sox manager) John (Farrell) wants to have weapons on his bench. Weãll see what happens.ã
DiSarcina noted that more light figures to be shed on said topic following Saturdayãs regular season home finale against Syracuse.
Presently, the PawSox feature the following 40-man roster players: Rubby De La Rosa, Jose De La Torre, Pedro Beato, Allen Webster, Steven Wright, Brayan Villarreal, Ryan Lavarnway, Dan Butler, Brock Holt, Alex Hassan and Jackie Bradley Jr. The list doesnãt include rehabbers Alex Wilson and Brandon Snyder, who was in line to play nine innings Saturday night.
Taking a look at the pool of candidates, Lavarnway and Holt appear to be the only locks to join the Red Sox on Sunday. Lavarnway would fill that third catcher spot that MLB teams like to have in September while Holt fits the criteria that the Sox are looking for in an extra infielder.
-- With Bradley getting Saturday off, DiSarcina opted to hand the center-field duties over to newcomer Quintin Berry. Outfielder Jeremy Hazelbaker was also given Saturday off after suffering a right knee contusion Friday, the result of getting hit by a pitch.
ãIãm curious to see how Quintin does out there,ã noted DiSarcina.
-- Looking ahead to what the PawSox playoff rotation may look like, all signs point to Clay Buchholz getting the Game 1 nod at either Rochester or Norfolk. After that, the rest of the rotation will be based off the conversations DiSarcina has with PawSox pitching coach Rich Sauveur, Red Sox farm director Ben Crockett and others.
If reducing the workloads of some of the organizationãs prized arms is taken under advisement, then itãs worth noting that Matt Barnes has 113.1 innings in 25 starts this season while Anthony Renaudo is at 140 innings exactly following 25 appearances (24 starts). Webster was at 110.1 Triple-A innings heading into Saturday with an additional 26.1 at the big-league level.
ãTheyãll want us to be comfortable with the guys we have,ã DiSarcina said. ãOne of the good things is that you have confidence in Barnes, who came up here and pitched well. So has Ranaudo. I would have rather have it that way than wondering, ãCan this guy pitch?ãã
-- Even though the PawSox secured a playoff berth with three games to spare, DiSarcina doesnãt expect a feeling a complacency to take up residence in the clubhouse.
ãWe have a limited numbers we can rest; itãs not like we have a 40-man roster and we can give guys the day off,ã said DiSarcina. ãThey want to play well going into the playoffs.
-- Regarding the time-honored tradition of seeing the manager of the Pawtucket Red Sox receive a ãjob well doneã seal of approval in the form of a September promotion to Boston, DiSarcina said, ãIãve been told that ãWeãll see you soon,ã but I donãt know that that means.ã

Comments: I purchased this elliptical during the black friday sale. It was a good deal and well worth every penny. It's solid and sturdy to work out on. It is also very quiet and has a smooth stride. It took me over 3 hours to put it together by myself, but I highly recommend having two people to put it together. Pulse reader doesn't work so well unless you stop moving altogether. I really like the plug in for an ipod. The fan is okay, blows upper stomach area and isn't very strong, but most aren't. All in all, I love this elliptical so far.

Construction continues on Banshee, the thrill ride that Kings Island will debut in April 2014.
Shriek like a banshee and you just might earn yourself passes to ride Kings Island's newest thrill ride, a trip to Los Angeles and $1,000 cash.
The "Scream like a Banshee" competition begins this Friday and will continue every Friday and Saturday night right through to the finals on Saturday, Oct. 26. The contest pays homage to the park's thrill ride, which is expected to ready for riders in April.
Park goers can sign up in Action Zone near the Banshee construction site to compete head-to-head with the loudest shrieks you will ever hear. A decibel reader determines the winner each round.
Prizes each round include 2014 Banshee Preview Passes to be among the first to ride the longest inverted roller coaster and advancement to the finals. The grand prize winner gets a trip for two to Los Angeles, Calif., tickets to Knott's Berry Farm and $1,000.
Registration opens at 6 p.m. on a first-come, first-served basis. Scream times are 8 p.m., 9 p.m. and 11 p.m.
Contestants must be 18 or older.
Construction of the world's longest inverted roller coaster is continuing. Columns and pieces of track for the ride's 167-foot tall lift hill can now be seen from outside the park. Riders will scream their way through 4,124 feet of track and seven inversions at speeds up to 68 mph.

Get NLT On Ellen!
My daughter, Katherine recently introduced me to music from the band: NLT. I immediately fell in love with their music! I haven't heard a boyband that I've enjoyed listening to since, All-4-One. I love watching Ellen which I'm sure a lot of you do, too. And it seems like everyone Ellen comes in contact with or at least has on her show, rises to stardom. With NLT's great music and Ellen DeGeneres as a lucky charm, I hope they'll go far! I'm not sure if a lot of people are even aware of NLT's existence. But I want them to be, they're too good of a band to just be passed by. By what my daughter Kat's been telling me the members of NLT seem like very together young men. And I wish them all the best. I just hope you'll help viewers of Ellen, to recognize NLT's talent. By signing this petition to have NLT appear on Ellen, that's just what you'll be doing. Thanks for your support!

Homeless Persons Memorial Day

On December 10, 2009, people gathered together in Albuquerque, New Mexico to hold a Homeless Persons' Memorial Vigil. Across the country, communities hold Homeless Persons' Memorial Vigils to honor the lives of those who died while homeless. In Albuquerque, people walked single file through the city to gather together and share in songs, poetry, and memories. The HRC's Wendy Grace Evans shares her experience of the vigil.
"I had a dream that everyone would walk in a single file line to the
Annual Homeless Persons' Memorial Day Vigil
. People who are homeless are constantly standing in lines -- for food, shelter, and medical care." Blue Vice is a Relocation Program Manager for
St. Martin's Hospitality Center
in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She helped plan the 2009 Homeless Persons' Memorial Vigil. On December 10, 2009, 153 people walked in a single file line through downtown Albuquerque in solidarity with those who experience homelessness.
The mortality rate for people who experience homelessness is three times that of people who are housed. In 120 cities across the country, annual Homeless Persons' Memorial Day services and vigils honor lives lost as a result of exposure, poverty, violence, mental illness, substance use, and other vulnerabilities.
I sit down in one of the front rows shortly before the service begins and speak with a woman next to me who tells me that she is a member of the church. The service touches her. She has a brother in Alaska who has been homeless and faith communities have often cared for him.
"These are not statistics, these are humans whose lives matter," offers Reverend Trey Hammond in his opening remarks at the memorial service. The church is filled with people and piano music. A baby talks and there is a slow movement of people and hushed conversations among the wooden benches. Seventy-six people are known to have died on the streets of Albuquerque in 2009. Each name is read aloud during a candlelight vigil, accompanied by poetry and music.
Hope stands side by side with loss.
A young woman comes to the podium with a photograph of a man she calls her baby. "For twenty-two years I lived with him. I buried him seven months ago. This is the man who taught me to have faith."
Another woman rises to share her experiences living on the streets and in housing, while struggling with bipolar disorder. "I have been kicked out of churches and hassled by the police. I have been a nurse and a dual diagnosis counselor. I have suffered from delusional depression for the last six months, facing a monster in the mirror. I am only happy when I am among people who are homeless. Homeless people are the ones who make me laugh and who understand what it is like to be in hell."
A man sings three songs in his native language—a flag song, a memorial song, and a death song. He explains that the death song allows people to pass on into the next life. The song resonates with the hope of transition as his baritone voice rises and holds the church in a sense of united purpose.
A woman with bright eyes and enthusiasm shares the names of four people she lost this year who are not listed in the program. "There was Gladys, an Indian queen, Smiley Pride who gave me a place to stay, Iva, who I always looked to for strength, and Roxanne." She bursts unapologetically into song. The first song is familiar and brings me to tears. She sings with confidence and I cannot help but borrow from her strength of spirit. "
Someone's knockin' on the door. Somebody's ringin' a bell. Do me a favor, open the door and let 'em in…
The memorial vigil is a moment that opens hearts and doors to lost possibilities and life that continues in spite of it all. It is testimony to the strength of a community that comes together to honor those who were lost. As I turn to leave the church, the smell of hot wax fills the air and we walk out together into the cold day, with lighter hearts and a greater sense of responsibility to each other.

When the building blocks of matter become alive.
It was quite an ordinary day in the reaction vessel. The atoms of chemical elements were each minding just their own business, keeping tight hold of their precious electrons. Occasionally they felt the attraction to share their electrons to form bonds with other atoms because, you know, that's what chemical elements do.
Suddenly happened something that made the electrons circulate around the nucleuses in a way that was never seen before and the reactions were getting out of control. Some of the foulest chemical elements in existence were introduced into the test tube causing unwanted reactions…
Game play
This game has a couple of rules that differ a bit from the standard rules. So please read them. Remember that when you sign up you confirm that you have read the rules, agree to follow them and are aware that breaking the rules will have its consequences.
Lastly I would like to encourage critical thinking. Don't just hop on the first bandwagon. That makes the game dull to play, host and follow. Instead question things and debate, make me feel proud of you! And most importantly have fun! This is the first game I host so don't hesitate to contact me if there is anything you want to ask.

Back on Sept. 7, I sold 200 shares of 3M (MMM), which had been my largest holding. Since then, the price has increased by almost $10 per share, hitting its all-time high during Friday's (February 8, 2013) intraday trading. That means I left nearly $2,000 on the table.
Was my sale foolish? More on that in a minute. First, a little backstory.
With some money burning a hole in my pocket from a real-estate transaction, I bought 333 shares of 3M in June 2008. I paid $74.95 per share, spending just under $25K for my stake. I was still more than three years away from having heard of the Dividend Growth Investing strategy I now employ and I did zero research before making the purchase. So getting such a strong company was basically dumb luck.
Of course, I soon was feeling a lot more dumb than lucky. Along with the rest of the stock market, 3M was in freefall mode. By September 2008, it was trading at $65. On Jan. 15, 2009 -- the day I was laid off from my job -- MMM hit $55. And on March 2, 2009, 3M plummeted to its multi-year low of $40.87 before beginning a slow, steady climb back.
In those days, I wasn't a very patient investor -- nor a very smart one. I often relied upon recommendations from friends or pundits, and I sometimes simply bought whatever the rest of the crowd was buying. In fact, I bought 3M after reading a few paragraphs about it in a financial magazine. Thankfully, as the price fell, I did something uncharacteristically smart and patient: I didn't bail at the bottom.
Although I did not spend "new money" on MMM when its price declined, I actually did buy more shares. Through my brokerage firm, I reinvested dividends, getting 3.0267 shares at $55.40 in December 2008, and 4.1623 shares at $41.46 in March 2009, and 3 shares at $57.70 in June 2009, and so on.
By this past September, I had accumulated 40 extra shares of 3M over four years -- many at bargain prices -- simply because I had chosen to automatically reinvest dividends. I still like the multinational conglomerate's fundamentals and its fantastic product line. I mean, who doesn't love Post-it notes, Scotch tape, O-Cel-O sponges and Thinsulate (among the tens of thousands of things 3M sells)? And naturally, I appreciate its 54-year history of growing dividends.
Nevertheless, I wanted to trim my stake to bring it more in line with my other holdings. At 2.5%, MMM also is the lowest dividend-yielder of my 26 positions, and I decided I'd rather allocate more of my resources to companies yielding at least 3%. Those are the reasons I sold those 200 shares at $93.59 apiece, not because I was nervous that 3M's price was approaching a 52-week high.
Sure, had I waited until Friday morning -- when the price reached $103.32 -- I'd have that extra 2 grand. Were I a soothsayer, however, I'd be living large at The Mirage Sportsbook in Vegas. While we need to learn from our personal experiences, we also need to move on. I have no regrets about my 3M sale, and I try not to second-guess myself for taking profits. Besides, I still have a stake in the company, and the value of my remaining shares has climbed nicely.
So what are the morals of this story?
1. There are many reasons to sell a stock -- or to choose not to buy one in the first place -- but the mere fact that it is at or near its 52-week high is not an especially good one. Well-run companies that consistently grow earnings will establish new highs over and over and over again. Sometimes, a company can be at its 52-week high but still be at fair value or even be undervalued.
2. Most good companies don't cut their dividends during lean times and most great companies actually keep increasing divvies even during troubled times, such as the 2008-09 recession. While the past guarantees nothing in the future, I feel pretty confident owning corporations that have been growing dividends for half a century. Aside from 3M, I also own Coca-Cola (KO) and Procter & Gamble (PG) from that elite group. Such companies are core holdings in many a DGI portfolio.
3. One reason so many individual investors fail is they buy when the market is overheated and sell after it already has plummeted. Buy-high-sell-low is a recipe for severe portfolio pain, as I know all too well from my undisciplined past.
4. By reinvesting dividends, more shares are accumulated when prices decline. Obviously, those who rely upon dividends to pay living expenses take them in cash; so do folks who like to receive dividends from one company and then invest in others. I reinvest divvies for most of my holdings because I like to benefit from the magic of compounding.
5. Being a more informed, more patient investor with an actual plan has helped my net worth. So has being a little lucky. When I make a good shot on the golf course, I've been known to proclaim: "Luck is better than skill!" Sometimes I think the same is true in investing.

March 11, 2014
CLEVELAND (AP) -- A Cleveland woman accused of drowning her two daughters in a bathtub has changed her plea to not guilty by reason of insanity.
Amber Hill also waived her right to a jury trial Thursday. A panel of three Cuyahoga County judges will hear her case beginning Tuesday.
The 23-year-old mother previously had pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder in the October 2007 deaths of her children. The girls were ages 2 and 4.
Prosecutor Bill Mason is seeking the death penalty. Prosecutor's office spokesman Ryan Miday said Sunday that Hill was not offered a plea deal.
Authorities haven't discussed a motive and say Hill had no history of neglecting the girls.

Overall, we had a great time, despite some minor issues. Frankly, I set my expectations a little low based on the feedback from other members here. Yes, this cruise is geared more for kids. The facilities, activities, and entertainment are definitely set-up with kids and families in mind. I did see some couples-only around the decks and during meals, but the vast majority of the passengers are families with multiple kids.
Of course, that doesn't mean adults can't have a good time too. The ship has some adult-only sections such as the adults-only pool, Palo (the ship's high-end, adults-only restaurant), the spa, and a few of the lounges. The spa was very nice and relaxing. My wife had a few treatments there and she said the service was exceptional. We both used a day-pass at the "rain-forest" room which is an area with one dry-sauna and two steam-saunas. The adult-lounges are comfortable and a nice escape from the general public areas. We didn't use the adults-only pool, since we spent most of the time with the kids, but it didn't seem overly-crowded or noisy.
The overall service was excellent. All the crew were very good to excellent. Guests are assigned the same servers throughout regular meal service for the whole week. Our servers during meal service were particularly attentive, accommodating, and even entertaining. I could order multiple appetizers, entrees, and desserts without hesitation. After diner, the assistant server would entertain the kids with some magic tricks at the table. Our room hostess was not particularly great, but did a good job keeping our room tidy and clean without being too obvious. The youth counselors manning the Ocean Lab and Kid's Club do a great job taking care of the kids. We never had a serious concern about our kids safety while in the custody of the Disney crew. Of course, all of the Disney characters did their usual Disney-best to keep the kids entertained and in awe.
The food quality was somewhat mixed. I wasn't expecting great food going into it, and that's how I left the ship. While the service was excellent, the food is OK. In general, the food was overcooked and didn't offer a great variety of choices, however given that the chefs are typically cooking for more than 1000 people at a time, on a ship with limited on-board resources for fresh ingredients, I think they did a good job. Even Palo, the high-end, adults-only restaurant aboard ship, was just good, but not great. My meat was good and cooked to perfection, but the lobster tasted frozen. Oddly enough, the lobster at the regular dining service (the next night) was actually better than the one at Palo.
The entertainment was good, but pretty much all geared for kids. The Walt Disney theater on board is a very nice and spacious theater where the crew can produce some full-blown musical productions. The shows are comparable to some of the stages shows at the Disney theme parks. The ship also puts on numerous photo opportunities with all the Disney characters as well as for family portraits. The pics are a little pricey, but considering there's no sitting fee and the photo quality is generally excellent, it's not a bad deal.
I think the big plus to this cruise was the ability to leave the kids in one of the kid's play areas at any time in confidence, while enjoying some adult-time in other parts of the ship. The kids areas are open until midnight (I think) and there's even a service called Dine-and-play where you can have your kid's dinner service started earlier during the dinner service and a Disney crew-member will escort your kid from the dining table straight into the kid's play area.
Some of the minor issues - the kid's pools are crowded and they did seem down for maintenance quite a bit. Yes, I think there was at least one shut-down of a pool because some kid lost his lunch in one of them, but the crew do a seemingly thorough job maintaining the pools at all times. They do constantly scrub down and drain the pools regularly. As I mentioned, there are a lot of families around - it's a Disney cruise after all, so if you don't particularly like kids, you'll likely be confined to a relatively small portion of the ship. My biggest gripe (making me feel a little short-changed) is that the second day in Cabo was way too short. The last tender to return to the ship was 12:30 - barely enough time to do anything on land on the second day. I ended up staying on board. I would have preferred more time on land, and less time on the ship. Lastly, the ship was fairly rocky at times as the seas were rough out of LA and once we got back from Mexico. My wife, who was not prone to motion sickness got sick, while I, who am prone to motion sickness, did not get sick - go figure! Can't blame Disney for the weather however.
Hate to end on a particularly sad note, but this cruise was the Disney cruise where one crew member was apparently lost at sea. They are still trying to determine what happened to her after missing her shift a few days into the cruise. Despite this horrific loss, the Disney crew were still able to perform their jobs well, put on a happy-face, and make all their guests feel special throughout.

Raydon "Ray" Durane Christianson, 86, of Pierre and formerly of Aberdeen, passed away on Sunday, Feb. 3, 2013, at the Highmore Healthcare Center.
Ray was born Jan. 7, 1927, to Hans and Mathilda (Johnson) Christianson on a farm near Langford in Day County. Ray and his twin brother, Richard, were very small when born and were warmed in shoe boxes on the top of the stove. Their mother passed away shortly after their birth. The boys were raised by his mother's sister, Nora, and her husband, Frank Elliot, in Webster. Ray was baptized and confirmed at the American Lutheran Church. He attended school in Webster and was a starter on their first team to qualify for the state basketball tournament, losing the championship game by a basket in the final seconds of the game. Ray enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1945 and returned to South Dakota after his honorable discharge. He attended college at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology and completed his education at the University of South Dakota, earning a bachelor's of science degree with a major in business administration. Ray was also a graduate of the School of Banking at the University of Wisconsin and the ABA Compliance School at the University of Oklahoma.
Ray met Nancy Juhl at the university and they were married on June 17, 1951, in Luverne, Minn. Upon graduation, Ray began a career in banking with Norwest Bank. He and Nancy first worked in Aberdeen and then Minneapolis for two years until 1955, when they moved back to Aberdeen and started a family. He retired from Norwest as a vice president in 1987 after 37 years.
Ray was an avid sportsman and enjoyed basketball, baseball, football, track, bowling and golf. Ray developed an absolute love for golf, spending many rounds golfing with his friends, two sons, Mark and Bob, and, later, with his grandsons, Eric and Marcus. He enjoyed the friendship and camaraderie from his golf and bowling leagues and memberships with the Elks and Shriners. Ray was a member of the Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Aberdeen and the Lutheran Memorial Church in Pierre.
Grateful to have shared his life are his wife of 61 years, Nancy; two children: Mark and his wife, Mary (Skulborstad), of Bolingbrook, Ill., Bob and his wife, L. Ann (Harrington), of Pierre and their two sons, Eric and Marcus.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Nora Elliot; his twin brother, Richard Christianson, and a half-brother, Harley Christianson.
Family services will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, Ray's family requests memorials may be directed to Highmore Healthcare Center.
Condolences may be conveyed to Ray's family at feigumfh.com.

A New York City cop put his tech skills to quick use last week, tracking down a stolen iPhone and catching its thief red-handed.
At about 7 p.m. last Thursday (Jan. 26), a man pulled a gun on a woman standing outside Tuci Italia, a handbag store on Avenue of the Americas near West 57th Street, the New York Times reported. The woman was a Tuci Italia cashier on a break standing near the entrance to the store, and the mugger made off with her iPhone.
Normally, the miscreant would have melted into the evening rush-hour crowd, but Officer Robert Garland's on-his-feet decision to use his own iPhone led to the crook's swift apprehension.
Garland entered the woman's Apple ID into the "Find My iPhone" app, which used GPS to pinpoint location of the phone. It was near Eighth Avenue and 51st Street, traveling south.
[Gangs Are Eavesdropping on Police Radios Via Smartphone Apps]
When Garland and his partner, Sgt. Richard Coan, got to the location, Garland hit the "Play Sound" button on the app and instantly heard a beeping sound emitting from a man stepping out of a Food Emporium supermarket near Eighth Avenue and 49th Street. The man was identified as George Bradshaw, a 40-year-old resident of Brooklyn.
"As the officers closed in, joined by another pair, the pinging stopped," C.J. Hughes from the Times wrote. "Had Mr. Bradshaw been an Apple aficionado, he might have known how to disable the iCloud setting, which could have stopped the trace."
The beeping, stolen phone was found in Bradshaw's right sock and returned to its rightful owner. Bradshaw, already facing charges from a cellphone theft, was charged with robbery and possession of stolen property.
The high-tech arrest reflects a growing trend among New York City petty criminals — the desire to steal gadgets, namely iPhones, laptops and iPads, instead of cash.
According to an internal NYPD report obtained in November by the New York Daily News, half of the nearly 16,000 robberies in NYC in the first 10 months of 2011 involved gadget theft. The prized device, the study said, was the iPhone, which accounted for 70 percent of all cellphones stolen on subways and buses.
The iPhone's so hot, in fact, that another Brooklyn-based iPhone mugger busted this month would allegedly let prospective victims go if they carried less desirable smartphones.
In an attempt to stem the illegal trafficking and to cut off the resale points of stolen iPhones and other high-demand gadgets, New York City police launched a massive sting in late December, arresting 141 merchants at "bodegas, newsstands and barbershops" for selling stolen iPhone and iPads, according to the New York Post.
The cops sprang into action after they posed as thieves, sold the hot items to the stores, and then watched shop owners mark up the stolen phones and iPads for resale on eBay.
