A father accidentally ran over his 2-year-old son in the family's driveway.
Benjamin "Bubbie" Kyle Thompson's devastated family grappled with constant reminders of the boy's smiling face.
"Benjamin ruled our house," Katherine Thompson said about her son. "It's going to be very hard to stay here."
The crash happened just after 8 p.m. Monday at 84th Street and Hillcrest Road, which is on Kansas City's east side. The boy was struck when his father was backing out of the driveway.
Police said there was no criminal activity involved, and the death of the toddler was just a terrible accident, as the father didn't see that his little boy got behind the truck.
The boy's mother was also in the driveway but preoccupied with finding something in another parked car while the boy's father prepared to back his truck up, police said. He checked to see mirrors but didn't see the boy who darted out. In in a split second, he was gone.
Sgt. Deetta Jacobs said the little boy would have been 3 in November.
His mother told KCTV5 about happier times.
"He loved the trampoline. He loved his dog who got him so good right before it happened," she said. "Sampson grabbed his pants and his pull ups down around his ankles and he fell on the ground. And he started yelling at the dog."
He loved SpongeBob SquarePants, he loved movies and he loved to dance with his sister. His family said he was a well-mannered little boy who cared about others.
Wanda Thompson, Bubbie's grandma, is devastated from the accident and trying to deal with the loss.
"He was my son's life, and now my son is blaming himself. He is taking it too hard," she said. "I was supposed to take him today, and I didn't. Now he is gone, and there is nothing you can do. Love your kids while you have them. He was a miracle baby."
The family said that Bubbie's aunt died the day before he was born. Tuesday would've been his late aunt's birthday.
"Please, if you got children, please make sure you look out for your kids because they could get by, and you don't even know it," his grandmother said.
The boy's parents are donating his organs.
"If two people could be saved by heart valves from my son, that's a good thing," Katherine Thompson said. "It's just the right thing to do. I'd want someone to do it for my son."
Four children will receive his heart valves and corneas.
"It gives me comfort. It means my son is a hero," his mother said.
Another grandmother, Debbie Aiman, said there are no answers but a lot of guilt.
"It's really hard for people to come up with a reason why. Everybody wants to blame themselves," she said. "It wasn't anybody's fault. It was an accident."
His grieving father is filled with guilt and blaming himself for his son's death.
Aiman urged parents to hug their children extra tight tonight.
"Give them a kiss. Life's too short. You never know what's going to happen," she said. "Cherish every moment you have with them."
She said parents should use Bubbie's death as a reminder to always keep track of their children.
The family plans to set up a fund to help pay for the boy's funeral costs. Park Lawn Funeral Home is handling arrangements.
"It's really rough," Aiman said. "He was their whole world... Life is forever changed."
His mother said she is drawing on her faith to get through this awful time.
"God blessed me in my life with him for almost three years," she said.

Now striding on a two game win streak to open up the second half of the season, and looking for a three game sweep, the Wisconsin Woodchucks continued play for the third and final game of the series against the Battle Creek Bombers Saturday night at Athletic Park. The Woodchucks grabbed the early lead and never looked back, completing the three game sweep and winning 4-2 Saturday evening.
The Woodchucks struck first in Saturday night's game on a solo home run by Skyler Ewing to center field that would leave the park in a hurry. This was the first home run by Ewing that he hit off of a right-handed pitcher all season, and it was a good one in the second inning.
After Ewing's home run another run would cross in the second inning when second basemen Jake Peter grounded out to score Chevas Numata and give the Woodchucks the 2-0 lead.
The Woodchuck would collect another run by Ewing, this time in the third inning when he flied out deep enough to score Brad McKewon to suddenly make it a 3-0 game.
The Bombers would grab a run in the fourth inning with a sacrifice fly to center field by Sikes Orvis, scoring Colin Willis to make it a 3-1 game.
Bombers would trim the lead to one in the fifth, with another sacrifice fly, this time to right field. That was all Chris Sujka needed to score the second run.
Unlike Thursday, and Friday night's games, Saturday night's did not include more than ten combined runs, instead the low scoring game can be credited to Woodchucks starter J.D. Davis who had ten strike outs on the night, and helped keep the Bombers under three runs.
The Woodchucks, still not comfortable with the 3-2 score in the bottom of the eighth changed the score with a Jake Peter solo home run to increase the lead back to two runs.
Jackson Lowery came in in the eighth and shut down Battle Creek allowing just one walk, one hit, and four strike outs in Saturday night's outing.
The Woodchucks would finish out the game 4-2, and complete the sweep against the Battle Creek Bombers for a 3-0 start for the second half of the season. The Woodchucks will be back in action on Monday against the Lakeshore Chinooks.

Linden Hill, Queens
Linden Hill is a working and middle-class neighborhood in the northern part of the New York City borough of Queens. The neighborhood is part of the NYPD's 109th Precinct and Queens Community Board 7.
Its borders are defined as 25th Avenue to Willets Point Boulevard. to the north, 154th Street to the east, Northern Boulevard to the south and the Whitestone Expressway to the west.[1]
Linden Hill was originally a rural estate owned by the Mitchell family. Ernest Mitchell owned an adjacent area known as Breezy Hill and his father owned the area now called Linden Hill.[1] The two areas are sometimes referred to as Mitchell-Linden.
A major change in the rural nature of Linden Hill occurred in 1950. Builders envisioned a cooperative project to be set on Linden Hill which would provide middle-income housing to veterans of World War II and Korea.[2] Under Section 213 of the Federal Housing Act of 1950,[2] and at a cost of $15 million, the project was enacted. It providing homes for about 1400 residents.
Once a primarily European-American neighborhood, Linden Hill is now a diverse mix of European-Americans, Asian-Americans and Latino-Americans.
The Asian-American population has expanded markedly in the southern part of Linden Hill in the past decade (as it has in Flushing proper) and the Latino-American population has also grown noticeably. Conversely, the European-American population has lessened somewhat, though European-Americans still remain in great numbers north of Bayside Avenue, west of 149th Street, and in the co-operative apartments at Mitchell Gardens, Linden Towers, Embassy Arms, and Linden Hills.
The public schools in Flushing are all supervised by the New York City Department of Education through Administrative District 25.
There is a public Elementary and High Schools in Flushing and students generally attend a school based on the location of their residence.
High schools[edit]
Flushing High School is located in the Linden Hill neighborhood, however it is commonly referred to as being in Flushing proper. Flushing High School is the oldest public high school in the City of New York. The school is housed in a distinctive Gothic Revival style building built between 1912 and 1915. The building was declared a NYC Landmark in 1991.
Public schools[edit]
PS 214 is located at 31-15 140th Street and is known as the Cadwallader Colden School. It is named for the one time lieutenant governor and governor for the Province of New York and the author of "The History of the Five Indian Nations".
The local branch of the Queens Borough Public Library is located on Union Street and is known as the Mitchell Linden Branch.
Public transportation[edit]
Bus service[edit]
There are numerous MTA bus routes available in Linden Hill. Local and express lines are easily accessible, particularly on main thoroughfares such as Union Street and Linden Place. Destinations include various Queens neighborhoods, Manhattan, and the Bronx.
Subway service[edit]
While Linden Hill itself has no subway stop, the Flushing Number 7 line to Manhattan is easily accessible from Linden Hill, via the Q44 bus line.
Railroad service[edit]
There is a Long Island Rail Road station adjacent to Linden Hill in Flushing, which provides a direct rail link to Pennsylvania Station, also in Manhattan.
The Whitestone Expressway is a major highway which is accessible from Linden Hill. Another major roadway is Northern Boulevard which extends from the Queensboro Bridge in Long Island City out to Nassau County. Important local roads include Union Street, Linden Place, Bayside Avenue, and Willets Point Boulevard.

Springfield received goals from four different scorers as Olivia Cabral (Sayville, N.Y.), Sarah Ducharme (Dudley, Mass.), Tori Stollmer (Hopewell Junction, N.Y.) and Linnea Quist (New Preston, Conn.) all found the back of the cage.
Wheaton senior goalkeeper Ellie Massengill (Amherst, Mass.) turned aside a game-high eight saves in the loss, while Pride goalkeeper Juliana Barrasso (Bayport, N.Y.) made five saves in her first-career shutout.
Springfield surged out to an early 2-0 advantage on tallies from Cabral at the 17:27 mark and Ducharme at 19:25. Cabral opened up the scoring on a beautiful give-and-go marker set up by senior MK Murray (Killingworth, Conn.) for her fourth goal of the season. Two minutes and two seconds later, Ducharme deposited her first goal of the year off of a rebound.
Murray went on to assist the next two goals for the Pride. Murray fed Stollmer with a crisp pass at the 26:24 mark near the left side of the cage to close out the scoring in the first stanza and also had her shot at 65:02 redirected into the goal by Quist.
Wheaton (4-8, 0-3 NEWMAC) travels to MIT on Tuesday, October 8 for a NEWMAC clash at 6 p.m. Springfield (2-7, 1-2 NEWMAC) visits Castleton on Wednesday, October 9 at 4 p.m.

Simms sure as hell ain't the answer either.
This team does not have the right QB to run the offense, period.Gruden and Allen have dug themselves a deep one because there isn't much in FA.Maybe Carr will be released.
This team does not have the right QB to run the offense, period.
I dont believe posters will get flamed anymore, the guy just doesn't have it.. Most Buc fans would agree.. The fact that Rattay is in there now is proof in the pudding..
With the way Gruden plays QB carousel there isn't a QB that is a "perfect" fit for this offense unless it is Rich Gannon II.
I tried to give this kid the benefit of the doubt, but he is a bust in my opinion.. McCown should get a chance in these next 3 games, and we would be smart to resign Simms and get a Jeff Garcia--Joey Harrington or some other FA QB out there..I believe the Glazers will give Gruden 1 more year, and this is what the fans want in the long run.. For what we gave up to get him, he has to be able to coach the 5th year..Gruden is 41-40 including playoffs..Comments??
Quote from: All_da_way on December 10, 2006, 04:00:40 PMWith the way Gruden plays QB carousel there isn't a QB that is a "perfect" fit for this offense unless it is Rich Gannon II. Well, the right decisions were made on Brad. I think it's looking more and more like letting Griese go was a mistake, but that is with hindsight knowing how bad Simms was the first 3 games, which really set the team on a losing path for the season.Obviously, now Griese looks like he was the best fit (he is smart) but I don't know how Allen signs him with the cap restraints.
He is still a bust imo....I dont care where he was drafted..
he is a VERY poor man's Doug Flutie.
Quote from: MBF on December 10, 2006, 03:30:31 PMSimms sure as hell ain't the answer either.IS 11-5, and NFC South Championships, several 4th quarter comebacks, and a home playoff game not enough for you. There were several young QBs playing last year in the playoffs for the first time (Manning, Orton, Simms) and Simms played the best of all 3. He played well enough to win that game. It's amazing how quickly you can forget.Rattay's series is short lived.We SUCK!

Two-Thirds of Americans Want ObamaCare Gutted by Court; WashPost Hypes Half Who Say 'Partisan' Politics Will Color Ruling
A recent Washington Post/ABC News poll shows that 2/3rds of Americans want at least a part of the ObamaCare overhaul tossed by the Supreme Court when it decides HHS v. Florida in June. Thirty-eight percent of respondents in the poll want the entire law thrown out while 29 percent say just a part of it being thrown out would suffice.
Yet rather than lead with these numbers in their story today, Washington Post reporters Robert Barnes and Scott Clement chose a question from the April 5-8 poll that shows 50 percent of Americans think the Court "will rule on the health-care reform case mainly on the basis... of their partisan political views."
"More Americans think Supreme Court justices will be acting mainly on their partisan political views than on a neutral reading of the law when they decide the constitutionality of President Obama's health-care law," Barnes and Clement noted in the lead paragraph of their April 11 page A2 story headlined, "Half say ruling on health care will be partisan."*
But "The poll shows little enthusiasm for the Obama administration's position that the law, passed by the Democratic Congress in 2010, should be upheld in full," the Post scribes noted two paragraphs later. "Only a quarter of Americans choose that as the desired outcome."
What's more, "Only 39 percent of Americans support the health-care overhaul in general, the lowest percentage since the Post-ABC poll began asking the question," Barnes and Clement disclosed in the 5th paragraph in their 10-paragraph story.
With support for ObamaCare at its nadir, why isn't that statistic the lede? Perhaps because the Post is doing its part to push the spin of liberal Democrats and the Obama administration that the Court striking down the ObamaCare health care purchase mandate is politically-inspired judicial activism.
What's more, the Post/ABC poll arguably under sampled Republican voters as the partisan breakdown was 34 percent Democratic, 23 percent Republican, and 34 percent independent, with five percent listing "other" and 3 percent giving no opinion. That compares to a 39 percent Democratic, 32 percent Republican, 29 percent independent split in the 2008 presidential exit polls.
As such, the number of Americans who believe the Court will be influenced by politics may be inflated by the poll and the number of Americans who oppose ObamaCare may even be underestimated by the poll, meaning that the poll may understate bad news for Obama on the issue of health care this November.
*The online version's headline is different: "Poll: More Americans expect Supreme Court's health-care decision to be political"

The justices who vote to
Submitted by forest on Wed, 04/11/2012 - 11:45am.
The justices who vote to uphold the mandate will be acting on partisan political views rather than the Constitution. We already know it's going to be at least 4 of them. There has been some discussion of Kennedy, Roberts and even Alito voting either way, but I haven't heard anyone suggest that any of the 4 collectivist ideologues would even consider voting to strike down the mandate. I don't even know why they bothered attending the verbal arguments. They could have used to time to travel to Egypt to bad mouth our Constitution instead.

The Post's slaving devotion
Submitted by ray johnson on Wed, 04/11/2012 - 12:04pm.
The Post's slaving devotion to anything lib and anything Obamao is expected and keeps them at the margins of the debate. Having any impact on issues requires a confirmable, down the middle, and fair approach, which they're never gonna do. They rate about 9.5 on the "lefty scale" of media bias.

Chadron State to hold two graduation ceremonies Friday
Chadron State College will confer 140 degrees during two graduation ceremonies Friday, Dec. 14.
The ceremony for graduates receiving master's degrees will be a 2 p.m. at Memorial Hall followed by commencement for undergraduates at 4 p.m. in Armstrong Gymnasium.
This marks the second consecutive year for two winter commencement ceremonies at CSC, a change that was prompted by the increasing popularity of the institution's master's degree programs. Previously, both master's and bachelor's degrees were awarded in one ceremony. This year's total consists of 92 candidates for bachelor's degrees and 48 for master's degrees.
CSC will award its Doctor of Humane Letters degree to the speaker for the undergraduate ceremony, Dr. Ron Hull of Lincoln. Hull is a pioneer of public television who has been heavily involved in the Mari Sandoz Heritage Society since its inception. Through his involvement with the society, he was instrumental in the development of the Mari Sandoz High Plains Heritage Center on the CSC campus. A long-time program manager for the Nebraska ETV Network, Hull continues to serve as senior adviser to Nebraska Educational Telecommunications and a professor emeritus at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
The speaker for the master's degree ceremony is Dr. George Griffith, who is in his 37th year as CSC professor of language and literature, and is former chairman of the CSC Department of English and Humanities. He teaches courses in English literature, composition and ethics.

What is fast income app? This is a question that has been asked by many people who are trying to grasp the concept of what it's all about. This is why it is pretty easy to understand what it's all about by finding out every little bit of information about it. Since marketing is a term that we understand pretty well, the next is an affiliate. This term refers a person in sales who works based on commission. This particular technique requires that a person brings in more clients. For each new customer that is brought in, you get paid but only after they actually purchase the products.
Majority of the online businesses and companies use affiliates as their sales people. They work by building traffic to your site. This is the way that affiliate marketing works and how the person gets paid. In order for a business to track the progress and work of any one of their personnel, it involves and requires using links which are coded. This helps to find where the customers were able to get the information from who exactly linked them to the service. When the client goes to the website, the affiliate link reflects on who the person is so that they can get the commission.
As one can see, after learning what Affiliate marketing is, you can turn it into a very lucrative business. It only requires that once you understand how it goes, one sets up the fast income app corrective measures to make sure it is a successful venture. If you have ever followed any links, then by now any person has grasped how exactly they work. The good thing with them is the fact that they deal with everyday products and therefore its market continues to grow wider by the day. One can be sure that they will make a little extra income by the side.
There are people who are referred to as top affiliates. These are persons who are fully capable of earning a good amount of money going to six or even seven figures. They utilize this kind of marketing because they have found out effective ways of getting the best out of it. There are others who are still getting to understand how they can reap benefits from it. They are among those who earn a stable amount of income through signing up more customers. There are various options that businesses use at reaching a high number of clients. This includes use of intermediaries as well as their own in-house programs.
It is pretty easy to find some of the most popular affiliate programs. These are utilized even by bigger companies which require their services to be advertised to as many people as possible. Some of the experienced person in this type of marketing use their own sites to market others.

McLouth hopes to avoid arbitration
Tuesday hearing approaches as outfielder, Bucs continue talks
BRADENTON, Fla. -- On Friday, all focus could be on baseball for Nate McLouth, who arrived here to begin working out on Wednesday. But looming over the All-Star outfielder is an arbitration hearing scheduled for next Tuesday in Phoenix.
McLouth is the only one of the Pirates' six arbitration-eligible players still without a contract for 2009.
"It's possible we will be able to reach an agreement, and maybe more so today than when I spoke to you last," said McLouth, who expressed some doubt in January about the potential of an agreement being reached. "I don't know what odds I would put on it or what percentage, but there's a chance."
Any reason behind the new sense of guarded optimism?
"I don't know if I have anything concrete I can tell you, but it's just a feeling I get," McLouth said.
When the Pirates and McLouth exchanged salary figures in mid-January, the difference was quite sizeable. After making $425,000 in 2008, McLouth had submitted a figure of $3.8 million for this season. The Pirates countered with a $2.75 million offer for their starting center fielder.
As has been the case for months now, the Pirates and McLouth are talking exclusively about one-year deals, with the idea of a multiyear contract being something that the two sides have said may be explored again, but only down the road.
The Pirates have not gone to an arbitration hearing with a player since 2004, when Jack Wilson won his case and a $1.85 million salary.

Uriah Heep is one of the longest lasting rock bands of our day, and they just keep getting better. Although nothing will compare to the original line-up, this longest running line-up of Box, Kerslake, Bolder, Shaw, and Lanzon have come together to bring a truly enjoyable set of 'unplugged' classics. You don't have to be a Heep fan to enjoy this disc. The songs are great, old and new, but mostly old, and the fans clearly show their appreciation. Heep has dusted off some classics that haven't been played in over twenty years: Lonely Road, Wonderlworld, Shadows and the Wind, Circle of Hands, and many more. A truly enjoyable set from one of rock's finest bands.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Seriously, the first time I heard this, I got teary-eyed listening to these songs again in a way that I have always dreamed of hearing them. I'll admit right here that it took several years before Bernie Shaw's vocals grew on me. I always thought that David Byron was irreplacable. And he is I suppose, but Shaw has a great voice for Heep's style of music, and he really and truly shines on this album, as does everyone else. Sound quality is first-rate, rivaling the quality of studio recordings. I had to dig out my old copy of the "Different World" album after listening to "Cross That Line" and "Different World" on this one. I didn't pay those songs much attention until I heard this live set. They really are beautiful songs.Other favorites are "The Easy Road", "Shadows and the Wind", and "Wonderworld". All take on new life with this orchestral arrangement. I played this for a friend of mine who thought that the musical arrangement reminded him of Andrew Lloyd Webber. He meant it as a compliment, as he is a Webber fan. I don't know much about ALW myself. But I think I see his point, as the arrangements are quite complex, yet sound simple. Heck, I'd recommend this CD to anybody, no matter what kind of music they like! This has universal appeal.
In response to the guy below who wanted the song list, here it is. Sorry it wasn't in my previous review. The songs are the same ones that are on the CD, but Echoes In The Dark comes first on the DVD instead of third, as on the CD. On the CD it is listed as track 4, but I'm not counting the talking introduction, which they list as track 1.Echoes In The Dark; Why Did You Go; The Easy Road; Come Back To Me; Cross That Line; The Golden Palace; Shadows And The Wind; Wonderworld; Different World; Circus; Blind Eye; Traveller In Time; More Fool You; Lady In Black; Medley (The Wizard; Paradise; Circle Of Hands).Ian Anderson appears on Circus and Blind Eye. Produced by Pip Williams. Featuring the Uriah Heep Classic Rock Ensemble–A female string quartet, along with a flute player (another one besides Ian), three background singers (all female), and a few other assorted instruments that I'm not sure what they're called.I cannot stress how good this all sounds and looks. A first-rate production all the way. Heep fan or not, you will enjoy this. I've shown it to several friends who are not into Heep, and they too were blown away, sometimes requesting repeated viewings. If anyone out there has been disappointed, I have yet to hear about it. Get it while you still can folks! And if you can't locate the DVD right away, at least do yourself the favor of buying the music CD to hold you over. Excellent quality on both.
"Yeah, sure", I was thinking, "every band now has to do the obligatory "Unplugged" album, so Heep's putting one out as well…". Of course, as a long-time Uriah Heep fan, I expected it to be a good, solid effort, but nothing prepared me for what I heard:I've been a Heepster for years. I have virtually everything they've ever recorded, from 1970 onwards. And after playing this disc pretty much daily for the past two months, I'm coming to the conclusion that this might actually be the best thing they've ever done. A brilliant choice of songs (some famous, some obscure, some rarely, if ever played, some current) from throughout most of the band's history (although the John Sloman and Peter Goalby eras are not surprisingly omitted), brilliantly arranged, and performed with a whole host of guest musicians, ranging from a string quartet, a ulieann piper, and a host of female backup singers, to Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson on flute. Highlights include "The Easy Road", one of the band's most gorgeous ballads from 1974, on which vocalist Bernie Shaw practically channels the spirit of David Byron, "Circus" and "Blind Eye" with Ian Anderson, the Lee Kerslake-penned "Come Back To Me" with soulful female backing vocals, and all of the contemporary material, especially "Cross That Line", and "The Golden Palace". This is by far the best live album I have ever heard, by Heep or anyone else, and deserves a place in any rock fan's collection.
It was just a few years back that I was discussing with other Uriah Heep fans what an "unplugged" acoustic set of the bands' material would sound like and what songs out of their vast catalog would be included. At the time it was just a little game we played, and we never expected such a thing to become reality. But I doubt that even the most elaborate dreams and fantasies of we fans could have matched the reality of this album. For most of it's all-too-brief 75 minutes, Acoustically Driven is awe-inspiring in its magnificent beauty. The vast majority of the set contains tunes that Heep has seldom if ever performed live, and the quality of these songs testify to the consistent strength of the songwriting the band has maintained throughout their career, as well as providing a welcome alternative to the rest of the live Heep albums availible, which tend to feature more or less the same group of songs. And with an orchestral backing and even a renown guest artist (Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson) playing on a couple of tracks, the stage is set for greatness. Indeed, it is not exaggeration to say that AD can hold its own with the very best of live rock albums from any era, and that the beauty of some moments on this album can match anything done by Pink Floyd, The Moody Blues, Led Zeppelin, or Yes. Throw in a Roger Dean cover and a fully informative booklet and you've got an irresistible package. Some of the many highlights include "The Easy Road," arguably the bands' loveliest song, performed here in all its poignancy; the incredibly epic "Golden Palace" culled from the most recent studio album; "Cross That Line" and the title track from one of Heep's more lightly regarded albums, Different World, given a facelift; the two aforementioned tracks on which Anderson performs "Circus" and "Blind Eye"; and two more magnificent tracks from the Wonderworld album, the classic title track and the rousing "Shadows and the Wind." And then there is the incredible finale – a medley of three of the most awesome songs from the band's fourth release, Demons and Wizards, the greatest studio album ever recorded. The medley blends all three together seamlessly and the effect on the listener is indescribable. The only shortcoming on this instant classic is perhaps "Traveller in Time" and "More Fool You", two songs that were designed for a heavy electric guitar riff and don't sound quite right in this format. But even so the performances of these two songs juxtaposed together is quite excellent as well. For years, critics have dismissed Uriah Heep as (at best) a heavy metal curio, a subpar Purple-Zeppelin imitator, or a bunch of old geezers hanging on trying to recpature the fifteen minutes of fame they had in the early seventies. Acoustically Driven once and for all puts the lie to those ignorant critics. This is not only probably the best rock bands out there today, it is one of the greatest bands in rock history as well.

The machine shop industry is one of the most important material removal and modification methods. It is a collection of material-working processes in which power-driven machine tools, such as saws, lathes, milling machines, and drill presses, are used with a sharp cutting tool to mechanically cut the material to achieve the desired geometry.
Advantages of plastics
The advantages of plastics for Machine Shops are numerous. Plastics are much lighter than metal, which equate into better fuel economy and cheaper to manufacture parts. Additionally, the lighter weight aids in safer material handling. Plastics can be designed to be impact and dent resistant, and modified for improved strength. Corrosion resistance, color and texture flexibility, the economical components and aesthetics are other advantages of plastics.
Materials Utilized Within Industry
Materials used by machine shops to create parts with characteristics outside of the range of non-plastic materials include Nylon, UHMW, ULTEM, Acetal/Delrin, PVC, PEEK, PET and PTFE (rod, tube and plate).

At Grand Circle, we understand that people choose to travel solo for different reasons—whether they're widowed, or married to someone who doesn't share their travel interests, or enjoy exploring the world with their sisters, brothers, children, or friends, or just want to meet new friends. And for many, deciding to travel solo for the first time can be a very difficult step. That's why we want to share stories from our travelers to give you peace of mind: Our solo travelers feel safe, welcome, and they enjoy a sense of camaraderie and friendship on their vacations with us.
Read what some of Grand Circle's solo travelers are saying about their vacations with us …
By Rita Westerman, 11-time traveler, Westerville, Ohio
One of my interests has always been history—and the same was true of my husband, Curtis, who passed away in 2005. That's one of the main reasons we have always chosen to travel with Grand Circle: the wonderful opportunities we have to discover all of the rich histories of so many countries around the world.
My husband and I have always loved to travel on Grand Circle's River Cruises, but when I lost him in 2005, I was hesitant to continue traveling. However, my children encouraged me to go since I've always wanted to visit Germany and explore its historic gems.
Curtis and I always felt that large cruise ships really weren't our cup of tea. When we went on our first River Cruise with Grand Circle, we realized how intimate and casual our experience aboard the ship was. The captain was always waving to us as we departed for our daily tours—and always greeted us upon our return. It was so nice and made us feel special. So I reserved my spot on Grand Circle's The Great Rivers of Europe trip and began my very first adventure since Curtis passed.
When traveling to new places, I always try to visit as many different churches as I can: Catholic, Protestant, Lutheran, and more. I think it's fascinating to learn about the differences in religion, architecture, and history between these countries and the United States. I was quite surprised as I entered St. Kilian Cathedral in Würzburg, Germany and was met by a gigantic menorah. I turned and immediately saw the large crucifix at the front of the altar. I thought, "How can a menorah and crucifix be in the same church?"
After speaking with one of the cathedral ushers, I learned that the menorah and crucifix signify the beginning and end of Jesus's life. And although I thought this sight was odd at first, it made perfect sense to me after chatting with the helpful usher. What a discovery!
I uncovered new and exciting treasures like this throughout my entire journey along the rivers of Europe—and I made sure I packed my days with as many opportunities as I could to find these hidden gems. My husband always said, "You have to go on all of the optional tours when you're visiting a new place because you never know if you'll be back."
Heeding my late husband's advice, I was sure to experience almost all of the optional tours on my Great Rivers of Europe trip.
And I took my husband's advice one step further and pushed myself when other travelers in my group decided to take the easier road. When visiting Kelheim, my fellow travelers and I were given a tour of Liberation Hall. While most of the group opted to enter through the first level, I (along with another couple) chose to climb 266 steps to the top of the Hall—and what a view it was! I felt so proud that I was able to take that one extra step.
When I returned to our river ship, I was presented with a Class A certificate for accomplishing such a noteworthy task. It was such a special moment for me.
After my trip on The Great Rivers of Europe, I've continued to carry on Curtis's legacy and have explored the diverse histories of many other countries. And, in keeping with tradition, I always try to experience every tour, unique adventure, and special moment each new destination presents to me.
One "Aha" Moment After Another in Old World Prague
By Joan Wicklund, 2-time traveler, Minneapolis, Minnesota
My son was in the air force, so he's explored many exotic destinations around the world. When my husband and I retired, we decided we wanted to travel. So, we asked my son where he thought we should travel next. He told us that we needed to see Prague and Vienna. And so that's where we decided to go.
Before our trip, I lost my husband unexpectedly. But since this was a vacation we were planning to do together, I decided I was still going to do the trip for the both of us. So, once I reserved my vacation, I chose to have Grand Circle match me with a roommate—and they helped me find someone pretty soon after I made my reservation.
I wasn't really hesitant about the trip—and as it turned out, my roommate, Beulah, and I had a great time. We were able to adapt to each other and enjoy one another's company. Beulah was traveling with her two friends, so I was not only able to meet them, but I also had a chance to interact with many others in my group—and I've remained in contact with several of them. They live all over the United States, including California, New York, and Wisconsin. And I even visited Carol and Peg from Wisconsin during a trip to their hometowns after we returned from the trip.
I had a better time on Grand Circle's Old World Prague & the Blue Danube River Cruise than I thought I would. I was worried that I would be sad on my trip—since this was my first time traveling without my husband—but the history of Europe was so fascinating, and I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful architecture and art of the countries we visited.
I truly experienced one "aha" moment after another. St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague and St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna were overwhelming. I had two of the photos I had taken of each enlarged and they're now hanging in my home. Each time I look at them, I remember all of the amazing things I saw during my journey along the Danube River.
Everything about the trip was amazing. The ship and crew were wonderfully accommodating, the meals were definitely a cut-above, my cabin was spacious and well-designed, and the Program Directors were intelligent, knowledgeable, and went out of their way to assist travelers with anything they might need. The cities we visited were truly architectural gems and presented unending opportunities for photos fit for enlarging. Budapest was magical at night, Cesky Krumlov was an eye-opener and a wonderful place to shop for local wares, and Prague was definitely not to be missed.
As a woman traveling on her own, I can honestly say that Grand Circle did a wonderful job of making me feel safe throughout my journey. I also enjoyed getting to know my fellow travelers. Our personalities really clicked.
I'm so glad I decided to travel on this trip for both my husband and I. I know he would have loved the beautiful sights and interesting histories as much as I did. But this trip also helped me learn that I can travel on my own and still have a wonderful time. I can't wait for my next River Cruise with Grand Circle.
By Bud Slavin, 2-time traveler, Columbus, North Carolina
When my father passed away ten years ago, I began traveling with my mother, Margaret. I lived overseas for five years, so I've done a lot of traveling myself. I wanted my mom to experience the joys of travel as well, and our trips together allow her to get out and about and see new and different things.
One of the main reasons we chose to travel to Ireland is because our family is from there. Along with our connection to the country, the departure dates for Grand Circle's Ireland trip also fell within the timeline I had off from work. Since I work for the government, I only have a small window for my vacation—so the timing was perfect.
One of the great things about traveling with my mom is seeing things through her eyes—even if it's someplace I haven't been before. It's much like going to the zoo with a child. You've seen lions and bears before, but you get to see them for the first time all over again with someone who is incredibly excited about the new things they're experiencing.
We discovered so many new things during our vacation to Ireland. For one, I was amazed that the country is an ever-changing landscape as you travel from one place to another. We began on the west side of the country, where we were surrounded by rocky terrain, and as we continued on our journey, we traveled through green fields, and eventually found ourselves in bustling cities. It was so beautiful.
My mom loved every minute of the trip, too. We celebrated her 82nd birthday while we were in Ireland. And although she didn't vocalize this information to our fellow travelers, her "big mouth" son most certainly did—and the group serenaded her with a rousing rendition of "Happy Birthday" on the bus. One of the women in our group even found a small flower shop during one of our stops and presented her with a beautiful bouquet of assorted flowers. She handed them to mom saying, "Everyone deserves flowers on their birthday." Although my mother didn't say it, that simple act meant so much to her.
But one of our favorite moments was a visit to a 300-year-old pub on our way to Dublin with our group. As we sat together and ate, surrounded by the locals, we all sang Irish ballads along with a man playing a guitar. There was something so special about sitting alongside our group members and having such a wonderful time. It was as if we were all Irish at that moment.
My travels with my mom allow us to spend quality time together that we might not otherwise have. Each new destination allows us to experience new things together—and it means so much that I'm able to share these special moments with her. I'll never forget visiting Kylemore Abbey and walking into a chapel with mom. She later told me that she felt my dad's and her mother's presence with her while she was there. It's moments like these that truly make our travels together worthwhile … and the reason we continue to explore the world together.

Apps optimize the iPad experience. So how come more retailers aren't buying in?
When the iPad debuted earlier this year, a handful of retailers unveiled iPad apps. These apps are tiny programs custom-designed to run on the new tablet PC and make use of its inherent features—they're like iPhone apps, only bigger. Then came virtual silence. A retail iPad app popped up here and there, but nothing like the massive growth of iPhone apps and apps for other smartphones.
What gives?
I'll tell you what gives: People shopping the Internet on their iPads are accessing retailers' e-commerce sites, just as they would with any laptop or netbook. The only difference is they're touching the screen instead of using a keyboard and a mouse. There is no need to optimize a web site experience via an app. Whereas with a smartphone, you need to modify the web experience because it plain and simple just doesn't fit on the screen.
Because of its screen size and computing power, an iPad offers the same web browsing experience as a laptop—it's just called a tablet PC for its lack of accessories. Have you ever heard of an app that optimizes web browsing for a laptop? No, because there are none. You just use the browser. And on an iPad, you just use the browser.
What's more, HTML5, the latest version of the foundational Internet mark-up language, enables programmers to reach into devices and use their innate features in a way impossible with HTML4. So, for example, it used to be that only apps could tie in with a smartphone's GPS system to pinpoint location. Now, programmers can accomplish the same thing on a web site that uses HTML5.
A case can be made for an iPad app—if you have the time and resources, and dedicated customers. EBay has a phenomenal iPad app that totally alters the way it presents products, from where they fall on a page to how big and high-def the pictures are to how a customer navigates the catalog. EBay also has a very loyal customer base that is more likely to download and use an app on a regular basis. So sure, roll out an iPad app that's super-cool (and sells products).
But the bottom line is you don't need an iPad app, as is shown by the deafening silence on the subject in retail.
Dedicated mobile commerce sites for smartphones and tablets and mobile apps are unparalleled in providing ...

It's easy to be thankful on Thanksgiving - when your tummy is full of turkey, potatoes, and pumpkin pie it seems like a no-brainer to tell your family that you love them.
But, when 12 a.m. hits, it's like a magical switch turns on inside of us, and all that thankfulness packs its bags and heads for the door. See you in 365 days, Mr. Thankful! It's been nice to have you visit.
What's my point? That Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I love the food, the football, the laughter, the joy and the parade. Most of all, I like how we aren't obligated to get people gifts. It's just a time to gather and be together.
But then, five hours after meeting at the table, people hit the stores. We go crazy for discounts even though we don't need all of that stuff. Every year, it's the same thing. All we want is more and more.
I'm not trying to blame anyone for anything. I have never gotten up for Black Friday, simply because, a) I don't have that much money to begin with, b) I can't move after I eat turkey, and c) because I need my beauty sleep. But if my friends came and brought me some Starbucks and got me all psyched up, I would probably be willing to go. But why is that?
I have so much stuff that I already do not need, so why do I feel the need to go out and buy more? I can't tell you why. I'm no expert. I'm in just as deep as the rest. However, I can remind you of what we do have and what we can be thankful for.
Thankfulness isn't seasonal. It doesn't call for a designated day. We can smile and thank our friends and sincerely tell each other why they are special every single day. I know a lot of people probably already do this, but it's nice to reinforce the message.
Christmas is a time for celebration. It shouldn't be about who has the most gifts or who got the best stuff. I feel like this is what it is turning into. When Black Friday hits, it seems that everything is focused on consumption. To have a day that is all about us right after a holiday that is about everyone else in our lives, seems wrong.
See, I like a lot of things. I like clothes and shoes and bags and movies and electronics and sports gear and anything else you can buy in a store. But I don't like to spend a lot of money. When I'm paying, I'm a tightwad. So I'm just as guilty in buying things just because there's a sale tag on them as the next person.
I just want to know why I feel this way. As I'm typing this, Thanksgiving has already passed. It's behind me and all that's left are the leftovers in the fridge. But wait - something else is still here. My brother. My mom. My dad. My dogs. My family. Everything that I'm thankful for is still here or is, at least, for the time being. I don't have to stop being thankful for the things in my life.
Just like that turkey and that gravy are here to stay, so are the things that I love about life. I don't want to get overwhelmed by commercial products and Macy's ads this holiday season. I want to enjoy everything like no presents are arriving. Because the things that I really need, I already have.
