On-tap at the brewpub
A - Served with a hazy, muted, golden body...one finger of white head formed and fell to a thin, but full cap, of retention...decent lacing left behind
S - Earthy hops with an addition of some bready malts...not much else going on
T - The flavors are very pils-like...it starts off with the bready malts up front...there is an earthiness that lingers throughout the whole beer...the middle-end of the beer provides a big dose of lemon...I can't tell if it's coming from the hops or if it's actually an ingredient...the hops do come back at the end and provide a bitterness
M - Light bodied...crisp and refreshing...has a nice mild bitterness with the addition of lemon rind
O - This was described as a pils at the brewpub...it's pretty much a hopped up version with a lot of lemon...I liked the lemon in this one more than Hellhound...this was very easy to drink as I almost took home a growler

Reviewed from notes: On tap at the brewpub.
appearance: hazy golden yellow with a 1 finger white head
smell: grass, hops, malts
taste: crisp, hops, malts,
mouthfeel: mild carbonation, medium body,
overall: a very hoppy pilsner. which is fine with me since I love hops. But it's like other Dogfish Head beers where they are always pushing the limits on different styles.

Had on tap at the DFH brewpub in Rehoboth Beach, DE. Review from notes.
A: Rawton was a light straw/yellow color with a foamy 1.5 finger head with pretty good retention. Some foam last until about halfway through finishing. Decent lacing.
S: Light hop aroma, earthy and grassy, with a hint if citrus - hard to distinguish which fruit. Pretty heavy bread malt aromas.
T: Light floral and citrus again, some lemon and grainy malt. The backend is heavy doughy malt with a slightly sweet finish.
M: Light to medium bodied with a good level of carbonation. Crisp and very refreshing, an easy drinking lager.
O: A solid beer that I will probably order again when it is on tap. A nice beer to have when I am not in the mood for the normal DFH beers.

Growler shared with Thorpe.
Beer is yellow to golden in color and really hazy. Head is big and white, made up of small and large bubbles, low carbonation.
Beer smells hoppy and yeasty, citrus mostly, smells good.
What kind of beer is this again? It's a little (and by a little I mean a lot) too bitter for the American Pale Lager category but I guess DFH was just making a hoppy lager. The lead off is misleading, at least from the smells opint of view, it is nearly absent, the back half of the beer is citrus hops, grapefruit and about 70 IBUs of bitterness. Like I said, it as bitter. It was good though, I'd for sure have it again and hope to soon.

Growler courtesy of mday. Served in a tulip.
Pours a very hazy yellowish-golden color with a big fluffy white head and a good amount of lacing. Very hazy throughout. Kind of strange for the style, but I'm guessing Dogfish didn't really intend this to be just an American Pale Lager, so I'm going to go with it looks good. The nose is pretty nice with some bright citrus aroma and a bit of mild bready sweetness. Good hops. The taste lets back a bit from that but the combination of citrus and bitterness is quite nice. A good tone of bitterness throughout. Body is fairly light and this is quite drinkable. Solid beer.

Poured clear yellow amber color with an average fizzy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing.
Medium sour citrus hoppy aroma.
Medium body.
Heavy bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration.
I would recommend this to a freind as one of the best for style.

Pours a foggy yellow gold with a thinner white head. Flavor is crisp with a citric edge to it and a bit of a bite. Kind of a minor burning hop thing on the back side as well. Feel has a bit of a biting carbonation and the liquid is smooth. It's very easy to drink, despite the bite on several fronts.

Growler from new beer in manhattan.
Beer pours a hazy yellow color, small head that fades away quickly.
Nose is hops, grapefruit and some malt.
Flavor is exactly the same, hops , grapefruit and malt...but i found this beer to be a little "watery", and very light on the palate.
Overall i liked the beer, very drinkable and refreshing.

While many of its characteristics were what I expected of a Pilsner (crispness, color, nose, etc), I was surprised (pleasantly) by the hoppiness.
I am not a big drinker of very hoppy beers. While I enjoy them from time to time, I don't usually gravitate toward them, which makes experiencing this pilsner a little out of the ordinary for me.
In comparing this pilsner with the Sam Adams Imperial Pilsner, I would say that this beer is far better balanced. The hops, which are pronounced (in keeping with the DFH style), do not throw off the feel that it is a pilsner, and not simply another iteration of DFH's IPA series. The nose on it is great, also, which for me is a must in a good beer.

This bottle was delivered to my door by PEBKAC ... Thanks Adam!!! Poured into my Kasteel tulip... I am calling this one a "growler" because it was filled from a keg.
Good 3/4" head .. atop a clear lite golden honey colored brew.... suprising lacing.
The nose is alll hops at the beginning .... spicy and earthy ... pale malts and a touch of toasted malt.... at the end is a lively citrus note... very clean.. no yeast aromas.
Weird flavor (but not offending by any means)... Definately American, but does not strike me as pils... Much like a lite pale ale.. clean pale malts with a toasty element.. again no yeast presence... I like this one, because it is different... It is not a Sierra Nevada nor a Pilsner Urquell.. a definate amped up demolition of both... I also would not call this an "imperial" pilsner ... simply American.
I have to give Adam props again .... as a "gift", he sent me 14 bottles of beer!! Included were 2 of "Johnny Rawton".. one for now, another to share with a friend. Thanks again.. Adam is a cool cat that I would love to trade with again.

On tap at Rehoboth Beach brewpub.
A: Served in pint glass with clear and substantial carbonation. Head was small for a pilsner but the lacing was tight.
S: Hops presene. A bit biscuity as well.
T: Crisp tasting like a pilsner should be with a real snap of hops right up front and in the back. The bitterness was delicious on this one.
M: Crisp and bubbly carbonation- refreshing with the kick of hops, quite the combination.
D: High, light and easy to put down. The hops were a good topper but this is one you would like to have on a warm summer day to put many down.

I was surprised to see this on tap at American Flatbread. It's Johnny Rawton PILS though and not the lager.
Pours a golden orange/pale color with a very thin head. Aroma is chewy, malty with some biscuity notes and a whiff of alcohol (imperial pilsner after all). Taste is malty and alcoholic mostly. Chewy and has a warm aftertaste. Kind of a pils to the extreme. Bartender said it's 6.2% but feels more like 9%. Decent beer though!

Enjoyed on tap at the Brewpub in Rehoboth Beach.
Served as a pale golden colored beer with moderate white puffy head.
Smell is sweet and crisp witha noticeable hop presence.
Taste is light and refreshing, but the hops are much more restrained that I expected.
Finishes with alight malt character, But the hops just do not impress me.
A nice drinkable beer, But not anything great.

A- A bright yellow with a half finger white head. It was a little cloudy because of all those hops. Decent lacing. My only qualm was the clarity.
S- Excellent hops aroma bursts through with a grainy pils note in the back.
T- Great hops bang with some good malt character upfront, and finishes with a smooth hop bitter. Finishes dry like a pilsner should.
M- Clean palate and it defintly has that pils texture.
D- Could hit a lot of these during the summer.

on-tap @ MadMex, Cranberry -> pint
Pours a golden yellowed orange with a slight haze and a nice thick white head. Lacing appears in faded light sheets. Carbonation appears medium.
Nose: Spicey hops, some light bready malts
Crisp and refreshing as a pilsner should be. Wow, packed with hop flavor and a nice crisp finishing bitterness. Good clean light malt presense, but this is about the hops. Not sure what hops were used but I really enjoyed the twist on the pilsner style.
Glad for the chance to try this rare beer. Thanks to Mad Mex, Cranberry for putting such a beer on tap!

Discovered on tap at The Trolley Stop in Dayton.
Poured into a standard pint glass.
Appearance- Pours a light clear yellow with very little head. No lacing, carbonation rising from small bubbles from the bottom.
Smell- Pleasant hop aroma, spicey and light. 2-row and vienna on the grain.
Taste- Full carbonation and heavy hops, I would expect no less from Dogfish. Beer still holds a good malty character.
Mouthfeel- Light-bodied, fully carbonated and refreshing. This is one easy drinking hopped up pilsner.
Drinkability- It's almost like a glass of iced tea on a hot day, but of course we go for more powerful stuff on hot days now don't we? This is why we drink the Dogfish. I could easily drink a pitcher of this. A great and quite limited beer.

I had this on tap at the Moan & Dove in Amherst MA. It was served in a DFH pint glass, and was brilliantly clear and straw colored, with about 1cm of foam. The aroma was kind of like a hoppy saison, a lot of funk seemed to be hiding in this beer. I imagined some grass and spice in the mix with the hops. The taste gave some of the same notes, it was delicious and had a nice hops finish. What a great find, this is wholeheartedly recommended by me.

on tap-Brickskeller, D.C., Served in amaerican pint, very clean.
I was imediately excited abot the apearance of this beer; for an imperial to still exhibit qualities of the parent brew always excite me. light and bready, with a tiny butter hint, that wasn't perceived as a flaw but the butter for the bread. almost biscuity. creamy head that lasted for about half of the glass added to the smooth mouthfeel. suprisingly less chewey than exspected, and the hops although pronounced stayed balanced clear into the room temperature range. sweet satisfying finish that did not cloye.

Served on-tap at DFH Restaurant in Rehoboth Beach, Del.
A: Poured a very pale yellow, as you would expect a pilsner to. Had a great head on it too, nice billowy foam that stayed about halfway through the brew before lacing up well.
S: A little bit bread-y, a little bit hoppy, a little bit spicy. Seemed really interesting, so I was eager to take a sip.
T: Nice clean taste from this pilsner. Alcohol didn't seem ever-present, as it was muted by the hop bitterness and slightly sweet bread-y malt. Didn't find those spices in the taste that I did in the smell.
M: Mouthfeel was light-bodied and refreshing. It was hot as hell that day, so sitting down with this one was a treat.
D: I'm not a huge fan of the style and can't think off too many pils that I DO enjoy, but this was an exception. I would have a few of these on a hot day or with any meal at DFH, like my salmon.
A nice pilsner in general, but I think I prefer Heavy Seas Small Craft Warning over this one, especially if you're looking from some more bang for your buck.

Had form the Tap at the DFH Alehouse, the liquid is a pale yellow with great looking carbonation. The head is two slim fingers white and fluffy, leavening a nice fresh looking lace.
The smell is both bready and hopy. Good things to come!
The taste follows well, yes this is a great crisp clean pils like a slice of whits toast, but with an ultra hopy bitter finish that has me craving more. So, yes I had 2. It was excellently paired with the Wood fire Chesapeake Pizza. Awesome.
The mouthfeel was right on. Nice and light, what a refreshing summer brew.
The drinkability was excellent. Prosit und Zum Wohl. MK

|Suesh Makeup Brushes
This is my personal collection of makeup brushes from Suesh. I didn't buy these brushes as a set. I know brushes come cheaper in sets, but I thought I'd get more out of my money if I actually buy the brushes that I want individually. That way, I got to pick the brushes that I really want instead of buying a whole set having some brushes that I don't really want/need. I purchased these brushes from Suesh's online store. The seller, Sheryll, is very accommodating to her clients.☺
I thought of purchasing brushes from Suesh when I was just starting to get addicted to makeup and wasn't sure I was ready to invest in high quality makeup brushes yet. I heard from someone that Suesh brushes are very affordable and are of decent quality as well.

Now let's move on to the individual reviews!
- Foundation Brush
I have mixed feelings about this brush. It's got soft hairs and does the job of applying foundation, but I'm not too fond of it. I find that the paddle isn't stiff enough and is a bit too flimsy and bendy, making it a bit harder to apply foundation. I find it more useful for blending out undereye concealer.
- Stippling Brush
This is one of the Suesh brushes I was very disappointed with. Once again, the white hairs were just too soft and weren't stiff enough, making it impossible to stipple on foundation the proper way. And if that's not enough, this brush also sheds like CRAZY. Not a fan of that at all. I'll probably use this for other products like blush but it's definitely not a good brush for liquid foundation.
- Flat Top Foundation Brush
I don't know why, but I have a hard time applying foundation with this brush. I find it easier to use this to blend out foundation once it has already been applied on my face. Even then, this brush doesn't make the blending process very smooth. The brush head feels a bit rubbery on my face. I do like that the hairs are very soft. I was just expecting a little more out of this brush because of its price.
- Powder Brush
The hairs of this brush never gave me any problems. They're not that soft but I don't find them scratchy either. Personally, I find that the brush head isn't dense and fluffy enough. Of course, it really depends on the person and how much coverage they want. Also, the brush head is quite small. That may be a good or bad thing, depending on the person once again.
- Kabuki Brush
This brush is probably my most favorite Suesh brush. Not only does it look very elegant with its red hair, but it's also extremely soft! I also love how very dense this brush is.
It's perfect for applying loose or pressed powder/foundation. I love love love this brush! It's got minimal shedding and does not bleed. The only thing I could say is I wish the handle were a little bit longer since sometimes it's hard for me to have a stable grip on this brush.
- Mini Mini Flat Top Kabuki Brush
They weren't kidding when they called this brush "Mini" twice! It's so tiny! Even smaller than a tube of lip balm. But still, it's too cute to pass on!
The hairs are really soft, however I have a problem with shedding. Sheds like a cat! I'm not completely bothered by it though as I only use it when I need to touch up when I'm out of the house, and I rarely apply makeup outdoors. I do like that you can open up the brush and use it as a blush brush or to just cover a larger area on your face.
I also love that it comes with a free pouch! Not too bad. (Sorry, haven't washed the brush yet.)
- Angled Blush Brush
This is another favorite Suesh brush of mine. Once again, very soft hairs and it also applies blush really well.
- Contour/Bronzer Brush
I haven't used this brush for contouring yet since I've yet to master the art of contouring. I have, however, used this as a mineral foundation brush because of its flat top, and once again, no complaints! Soft hairs, doesn't scratch my skin.
- Large Concealer Brush
I use this brush to apply concealer on my undereyes. Doesn't prick the sensitive skin on that area. However, I'm not exactly sure why, but over time, this brush got harder and harder to wash. I'm not sure if that's because of the brush or me, but it's just something that bothers me. Also, I've had this for about a year, and the hairs are already starting to become loose from the ferrule. Still, it's a very handy brush and great to apply and blend undereye concealer with.
- Concealer Brush
This is their concealer brush but I actually like to use it more as a lip brush. I find the brush head too small to blend out concealer on my undereyes. It makes for a really great lip brush! Amazing price too.
That's it for the face brushes review! Hope you found this review helpful!

DENISON, TX -- Police have made three arrests following a drive-by
shooting that injured a teenager last weekend. They say one of them
fired shots from a moving car and the gun was reported stolen from the
Dallas area.
Police say they have found the man who fired shots
from a car outside El 69 Club, hitting a teenager in the thigh, and they
have also arrested two other men they say were in the car.
of them were at the same location we arrested last night. One of them
was arrested a couple of days ago," says police Lt. Mike Eppler.
Sanchez-Ojeda, 22, and suspected driver Gustavo Sanchez-Ojeda, 18, were
arrested Thursday night at a Sherman mobile home park and passenger
Jose Luis Jarquin-Lopez, 21, on Tuesday, police said. All face charges
including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
"The little
girl was there at the nightclub outside, and the vehicle drove by, and
that's where the shots were fired," says Eppler.
The 13-year-old
girl was with relatives, and was standing outside the bar in the 3500
block of Highway 91 North waiting for a ride from another relative
Saturday night around midnight, police said.
She was loaded into an ambulance, then after some waiting, a medical helicopter landed in the middle of the road nearby.
Sherman and Denison officers executed a search and arrest warrant at
the home off Texoma Parkway and it was while looking through the place
they found the gun they believe was used in the shooting, police said.
"They go by sometimes just to check around, but not that much," says neighbor Jorge Castillo.
Another neighbor at Crossroads Mobile Home and RV Park says he saw officers at one of the trailers on Thursday night.
been trying to clean up this place around here and so far it's been
working. It just really kind of surprised me, everything was really
quiet back there," says park manager Charlotte Kennedy.
these two, they were basically trafficking and they got rid of them and
that was about two years ago," says neighbor Shawn O'Brien.
to Eppler, the three suspects have immigration holds for suspicion of
being undocumented immigrants, and the men were not going to or coming
from the bar at the time of the shooting.
If convicted of
aggravated assault, they could face up to life in prison and a $10,000
dollar fine. Bond was set at $30,000 for Cesar Sanchez-Ojeda and Gustavo
Sanchez-Ojeda and $20,000 for Jarquin-Lopez, with additional smaller bonds for other charges.

When I initially had my email consultation with him (I'm out of state), I was told that he wasn't scheduling... more
"Always Wanted a Better Nose -..."
I hated my bulbous nose from as far back as I can remember but in the recent years I saw two bumps emerging laterally on my bridge. This made my nose a lot worse than I could overlook. So far, 2 days post op, I'm in a lot of pain and generally not feeling well. I can't wait to get my cast removed and start healing. more
Today I went in to see Dr. Grigoryants for the second time. Walked in, filled out some more paperwork, had a "photoshoot" with Dr. G (before photos, did you all do that as well?), chatted a bit, then gave my full payment. I'm so excited for my procedure at the end of this month! No more being super insecure about my nose! Will keep you all updated ;) more

I first met with Dr bandy at the end of March 2014.

I'm finally booked for my rhinoplasty procedure on the 20th of November. I've wanted this procedure for so long, I actually can't believe it's happening. I'm very happy about going with Dr Vladimir Grigoriyants- from all the doctors I researched on, his work stood out. Considering I'm flying in from over seas, have an ethnic nose- I think he's the man to go to. Of course, I am terribly... more
"It's Scheduled And I'm Scared -..."
I used to swear I'd never go under the knife for the sake of my appearance. However, after having a successful upper blepharoplasty last summer, I suddenly started really examining my face and realized that I just didn't like my nose, and realized that I *could* change it if I wanted to. I don't hate my nose, but I definitely don't love it. Growing up, family always commented on my "pug"... more
"Dr. Taneja is Amazing! - Huntington..."
I absolutely love my new nose, I couldn't be happier with the results. At first I was hesitant to have the procedure done because I was afraid I wouldn't like the outcome. I was also afraid of the pain following the procedure. There was barely any pain; the only discomfort was some nausea, but only the day after. I took a long time to make the decision to get rhinoplasty. My new nose is... more
I should have never had the surgery to begin with. What I walked in with was much, much better than what I walked out with. I truly believe the risk for subtle changes is far too great and most definitely not worth it. I didn't have a bump or a crooked nose. I wanted my tip lifted. What I walked out with was a crooked nose and a bony bump. My nose was slim and thinking back, fit my face... more
"Big Nose and Big Problems Breathing..."
I met Dr. Sadati and team and was immediately impressed with their bedside manner. The prep and post surgery care was phenomenal. My nose not only looks perfect but I can breathe. Its been life changing. I highly recommend Dr. Sadati. My nose stuck out so far it cause my lip upper lip to protrude . Not only did the surgery take down my nose it reduced my lip which greatly enhanced my profile. more
"Finally Doing It- Nose Job - Newport..."
I have been to see several doctors over the years...mostly to gage cost and other information regarding the procedure. When asked what I didn't like about my nose, I got kind of awkward. I think it's difficult to discuss this with a stranger without feeling like you're being silly or petty. I didn't want to sound like a dumb girl and I was really self-conscious about my perceptions. Most... more
"Rhinoplasty with Dr. Grigoryants..."
So, I'm 22 and female in case anyone is wondering, and my surgery is scheduled for August! I don't live in the United States, so I'm flying in to Los Angeles a few days before my surgery and leaving a couple of days after the cast is removed. I'm very anxious about it. My main concerns: 1) ANESTHESIA: I've never gone through anesthesia, so i'm actually really, really scared. 2) SORE... more

Everlasting memories at the Surftides Inn
Reviewer: A TripAdvisor Member, Canada
We were in Lincoln City for a three day romantic week-end and had not pre-booked a hotel room.
We stopped at the Surftides Inn and were told they had no vacancy - we left and called them hoping they would have a cancellation
"Tony from the front desk" came through for us.
He managed to book us into a "king, fireplace, jacuzzi suite" with a fabulous view of the ocean from our balcony.
The first room was very nice with a corner jaccuzi tub and fireplace, but the best thing about this room was the view!
We had never stayed this close to the ocean before.
The sunsets from the balcony were breathtaking and by leaving the patio doors open at night we were able to fall asleep with the calming sounds of the ocean and a view of the ocean from our bed.
The resort was booked solid for the next two nights so we had to check out and try and find another resort (we just wanted to stay at this resort as we fell in love with it)
"Tony" asked us to check back with him Saturday at 6: 00 pm - and once again he came through for us.
We were able to get a queen suite with a corner fireplace and the same breathtaking view.
This room was larger than the first and extremely clean!
The beach in front of this resort is awesome!
We walked the beach for hours in both directions and collected many treasures along our way
We had an incredible romantic stay at this resort and hope to return one day soon
Thanks for the memories.....

Today at Citrix Summit™, Atea was announced as the winner of the company's first annual Citrix® Innovation Award for Partners in the Mid-market Solutions category, designed to honor organizations that are driving innovation and delivering business value for their customers. Atea Denmark has implemented a VDI solution for BRF Kredit that uses Citrix technology to increase employee productivity and reduce IT management costs.
Atea Denmark, a Platinum Citrix Solution Advisor, won recognition for a virtual desktop solution provided to BRF Kredit, an independent mortgage credit institution. This virtual desktop solution comprised of XenDesktop®, NetScaler®, Microsoft App-V and Hyper-V was implemented to provide users with a new, Windows 7 virtualized workspace. With this solution, employee productivity increased dramatically by reducing log-in times by 90 percent. BRF Kredit was also able to realize significant IT savings by reducing the PC refresh rate and streamlining management.
"Citrix is embarking on a journey to grow multi-product customers, expand customer relationships and build partner engagement," said Tom Flink, vice president of Channels and Market Development Sales, Citrix. "We are proud to recognize Atea because they are delivering real business value to their customers including BRF Kredit. It's with partners like Atea that we will continue to grow and provide the kinds of solutions that our customers require."
The Citrix Innovation Award for Partners Program seeks to inspire Citrix partners, prospects and their customers to think differently about IT: as a key strategic component to enable business and organizational success, grow market share or compete beyond the industry norm.
The other finalist honored this year in the Mid-market Solutions category was Intrasystems, a US-based IT solutions and services organization, that has worked with Taco Inc., a leader in innovation in the HVAC industry, to design and implement an end-to-end Citrix solution featuring XenDesktop, to increase employee productivity from the back office to the shop floor by enabling access to desktops from anywhere, anytime and on any device.

Girl Scouts in Carl Junction are on a mission to stop bullying.
Girl Scout Troop 61024 in Carl Junction is working on its Bronze Award Project that requires 20 hours working together on a joint effort.
The troop chose to take on bullying, attacking the problem using all forms of communication beginning with school announcements.
Using morning announcements, the Scouts share bullying scenarios to help students understand how their actions can be hurtful to others.
They also spread their message posting signs around school.
Their decision to tackle the problem stemmed from their own experiences.
Their troop leader, Lisa Nelson, says the girls learned the difference between bickering or friends fighting and the repetitiveness of bullying, and then how to stop it.
"The other part of it is you're going to face conflict, if you're going to call bullying what it is and tell a bully, bullier, that their behavior is inappropriate, and the girls are not equipped yet to really handle conflict, so we worked on and did a lot of role play about how you would say 'no' to a bully or how you would intervene to help someone," says Nelson.
Counselors say it helps for students to hear the anti-bullying message from their peers.

Shelf Elves
When Christmastime arrives, Prep & Landing elves spring into action. True, they're designed to sit comfortably on a shelf or windowsill, but that's all part of the plan -- securing a good vantage point to scope out the situation for the big guy's arrival.
You'll need:
- Prep & Landing Shelf Elves Template
- Scissors
- Straight pins for using the template pieces as patterns
- Felt (green, tan, black, and red)
- Pipe cleaners (red, white, and green)
- Low-temperature hot glue gun
- Brown yarn for elf hair (optional)
- Cotton ribbon or strip of felt (about an inch wide)
- Large green faux gems for the goggles (optional)
- Red pompom (1/2 inch or so)
- Scraps of green fleece or felt (a lighter shade than the body and head) for the coat trim
- Green ribbon (for the belts)
- Faux gems (3/8 to 1/2 inch for belt buckle and smaller ones for buttons)
- Cardboard tissue tube
1. Print the template for Prep & Landing Shelf Elves and use the pieces to cut out the shapes from the specified colors of felt.
2. For each elf, hot glue the upper edge of one of the two body shapes atop the lower edge of one of the head/hat pieces. Then bend a pipe cleaner into an inverted V-shape and glue it atop the joined felt, as shown.
3. Make arms for each elf by first twisting together a white and a red pipe cleaner and then hot gluing it to the center of a felt arm piece.
4. Apply more glue to the felt below the pipe cleaner and then fold the unglued portion of felt onto it, enclosing the pipe cleaner. Bend the ends of the pipe cleaner to resemble mini candy canes.
5. Glue a set of arms to each elf's body, as shown.
6. Now it's time to make legs. For each one, cut a 5-inch length of the inch-wide cotton ribbon or felt strip, and glue the sides together at the very bottom, as shown, to create an "ankle" that is half the width.
7. Then glue two red felt elf shoes together with the ankle sandwiched between them as shown.
8. Attach a pair of legs to each of the remaining two body shapes by hot gluing the ribbon tops to the inner felt. Then glue the body (with the attached legs) to the matching body/arm assembly along the sides and neck, leaving the bottom open.
9. For each elf, glue the felt lenses in place on the goggles. Then glue the goggles to the upper third of the face, as shown.
10. Glue on the nose so that the top slightly overlaps the bridge of the goggles. Now glue the face onto the remaining head/hat piece.
11. Glue the assembled face to the body, sandwiching a pair of elf ears between the two green felt head/hat pieces, as shown. Stick on the goggle gems and hot glue a red pompom to the top of the hat.
12. For the finishing touches, glue a strip of fleece or felt trim around the bottom of each elf body. Add ribbon belts and faux gem buttons and belt buckles.
13. To help the stout elf sit upright, cut a short ring from a paper towel tube and insert it in the body. For the slim elf, cut another ring from the tube and slit it all the way up one side. Then re-roll the ring more tightly so that it's narrow enough to insert in the body.

Much has been said in response to recent news from Washington about a bill supposedly giving the go-ahead on Savannah's harbor deepening project. Misleading statements about the project, both before this news and afterwards, need to be clarified and corrected.
Phoenix, Ariz.
We had an annual celebration last Thursday to thank our Keep Liberty Beautiful volunteers.
Editor, In recent weeks, Congress has passed legislation to provide hundreds of millions of dollars for American landowners who agree to certain conservation measures for their land. Each county in Georgia has land that may be eligible for these programs. In many years, money appropriated by Congress goes unused because landowners are unaware that their land qualifies.
Not long ago, a friend of mine was huffing, puffing and carrying on something awful about an injustice she had recently suffered. She had dealt with someone rather devious and the result was, well, rather devious.
For months on end in 2013, my daughter had a chronic, rough-sounding cough, severe chest congestion and back-to-back bouts with viruses and infections. To rule out serious illnesses and conditions such as pneumonia, childhood asthma and cystic fibrosis, we saw multiple doctors and specialists, one of whom - a pediatric pulmonologist - sent my then-20-month old toddler for a chest X-ray. Thankfully, it was clear.
Editor, The board of directors of Seven Ministries of Liberty County Inc. would like to thank the community for supporting the 2014 Jackie Gilliard-Henderson Memorial Scholarship Walk-a-Thon fundraiser. The weather was a little chilly for our fourth annual event, but the crowd was one of the largest we've had and, again, we say thanks.
Editor, The time to act is now. All Americans must stop and take a close look at the symbol of our great nation, which they might have flying over their residence, place of business, on their vehicles or even on their clothes. Is that great symbol of your freedom, the American flag, unserviceable? By that, I mean is it worn, torn, dirty or just plain ragged? If so, now is the time to replace it with a brand-new American flag.
Editor, In the Friday, May 9 Courier, I saw that the Liberty County Board of Commissioners has finalized the list of SPLOST projects. I noticed that the east end of Liberty County, as usual, was granted just a small portion of the projected $54 million. The two items that I see listed is the Midway City Hall ($317,384) and an east-end medical clinic ($362,725). These two projects are about 0.013 percent of the total revenue expected from SPLOST.
Editor: The city of Hinesville is hosting the fourth annual Project Homeless Connect on June 14, in the Bradwell Institute gymnasium. Each year, at least 100 families in this community experience homelessness. These families most often include young children, victims of domestic violence, people with disabilities, veterans and senior citizens. Regardless of whether their experience is for one night or longer, it is our endeavor to minimize this traumatic experience and prevent homelessness.
To David Perdue, Jack Kingston and Michelle Nunn: Congratulations on making it this far in your quests to become our newest U.S. senator. As you prepare for the next phases of your campaigns, I thought I would pass along to you some unsolicited advice for your consideration.
No matter how old I get, I still need my mom - and my mother-in-law. That's especially true now that I have my own family, house, career and other obligations. This precarious juggling act necessitates a need for motherly help like never before.
I recall a visit I once had with Mama. It was a couple of years before she just up and died without warning and when we least expected it.
Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy. You may vote in elections, but when you volunteer, you vote about the kind of community you want to live in. - source unknown
Can you believe school already is out for the summer? It seems like it was just yesterday that we began day one of the 2013-14 school year in Liberty County and "set sail" on a course of excellence toward developing the 21st century learner. It's been a busy year of change; but overall, a great year with numerous successes and accomplishments. I am so very proud of our bright and talented students as well as our dedicated faculty and staff in the Liberty County School System. The process has been labor-intensive, but all to the benefit of our students.
If you still are not convinced about the benefits of recycling, let me share these facts provided by the Georgia Recycling Coalition.
As a general rule, I don't care much for TV commercials, except as an excuse to grab a snack or run to the bathroom.
Editor, The board of directors of Seven Ministries of Liberty County Inc. would like to thank the community for coming out in support of our back-to-school rally. The event was held Saturday, Aug. 2, at Rebecca's Place on Rebecca Street in Hinesville, and a crowd of more than 300 showed up. School supplies were given out, and food and fun were the orders of the day.
Last week, the second of two Americans infected with the Ebola virus arrived at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
I just learned of a book called, "Say Goodbye to Your Southern Accent."
It's time to talk trash for a few minutes.
This is the end, my friends. After writing this column for more than three years, it is time for me to move on. I also write for three magazines and the commitment to the magazines is starting to demand a lot of my time. I have enjoyed bringing you the latest information on Midway and hope that you will attend the monthly meetings to keep the mayor and city-council members on their toes.
It has become somewhat of an art for me, that of studying Southern culture and deciphering what makes us different from others, as well as downright peculiar among ourselves.
I recently enjoyed a week in my hometown of St. Louis, Missouri, with my family. Usually, when I visit the best city in the country (my own personal opinion there), I only have a few days in which to squeeze in trips to my favorite restaurants, a little rest and relaxation, outings with relatives and an evening or two with old friends. So it was wonderful to have a little more time.

shows the main Cre8pc site comes up in the #1 spot, but if you click on it, it points to the blog, not the main site, or the actual URL it lists. In the #4 spot iis the blog itself and the correct URL to take the visitor there.
It's showing my blog as a sponsor, but I know I'm not a paid sponsor.
I like the zebra.

The referrer is: admin.redzee.com/pluginhtml/RedzeeSearch.aspx
They seem to be offering their own PPC and for a few searches I've done there are lots of advertisers. Dunno I would have thought some of us would have heard of it...
Posted 04 October 2005 - 04:30 PM
They are not their own PPC listings - I'm seeing our ads there and we're not using them (AFAIAA).
Posted 04 October 2005 - 04:42 PM
Certain search results may be "sponsored" results, which consist of websites who have paid for placement in the search results. These listings are provided by our business partner, Link Positions, which is a subsidiary of ISE.
And a press release at http://www.corporate...Engine.rss.html (such typical press release language :roll:) says it's a meta search engine.
Having trouble finding the so called parent company ISE Corporation though.

Anyway why use other search engine when you have google? (and msn).
Posted 05 October 2005 - 05:41 AM
I do like the fact that they included a directory search.
The Zebra has a certain goofy charm but he needs to hold still after awhile or he could get irritating.

Welcome to the forums.
Great observation. I think I would be surprised in that instance too.
There are a lot of things about this search engine that I like, and I performed a couple of searches and wasn't disappointed with the results. But, if it is a meta search engine, as advertised, I'd like to see which search engines it is using, too.
I'm surprised that it would deliver that much traffic to a site of yours, Sophie, as such a newcomer on the scene.
Posted 06 October 2005 - 01:07 AM
Welcome to Cre8asite Rossiroo. :wave:
Posted 12 October 2005 - 09:42 PM
they also have a toolbar that merges ads into google, yahoo and msn's natural listings. i have an article about redzee's toolbar here.
if you have heard of linkpositions network, this is the same company.
Posted 13 October 2005 - 12:13 AM
Welcome to the forums.
It's nice to uncover another blog about search to add to my RSS aggregator.
I think that there's some reason to feel skeptical about a meta search engine that won't reveal the sources of its information, and that offers a toolbar that it doesn't tell you much about, while also offering a payperclick program.
This is a quote from a site that shares the Same street address and suite number as RedZee:
No pay per click to worry about! Your site listing rotates the top three spots in the natural listing area!
Source: http://linkpositions.com/services.html
The screenshots that they provide make it clear that the results are part of the natural results shown in Google.
Or, from another site that hosts a company that shares the same street address and suite number as RedZee comes this statement, along with a screenshot of a banner advertisement placed above search results at Google:
Your Website actually opens in the results!. Now that's visibility!
The windowsposition site mentions the following:
The revolution has begun. Introducing Search Engine Data Merging !
Source: http://www.windowpos...rkuserbase.html
Curious, I searched for what they might mean by "search engine data mining." This article on Mondaq gave an intersting answer:
United States: Advertising Scam "Search Engine Data Merging"

I checked the raw logs as Whitemark suggested and RedZee are not browsing the site at all. They hit the homepage and they go.
They seem to get their "search results" from the Google AdWords listings and add the image from Alexa. Whilst we're not paying for the clicks it really distorts our analysis.
Now I just have to work out the best way to filter all their IP's. :roll:
Posted 06 December 2005 - 12:31 PM
Which, BTW, is my reason for posting today. I was **** a bit of research into Redzee and found the info posted here to be the most relevant over anywhere else and wanted to express my appreciation - especially to Sanity for coming back with confirmation of questionable practices by Redzee from her raw log results.
Posted 06 December 2005 - 03:51 PM
It's always nice to have a member delurk.
I'm glad the information was helpful to you.

That IP maps to http://ws.arin.net/c...NET-24-52-0-0-1 - Adelphia in PA. You could try calling them and letting them know that IP keeps hitting you through your paid search system...
Posted 30 January 2006 - 07:34 PM
It most definitely does. The site I am referrring to in this thread is also a real estate site and to have hundreds of visitors just hit the homepage was a surefire giveaway.
Does this sound strange to anyone?
Are you seeing any benefits from the PPC campaign? Are you able to track conversions at all? Personally I'd look at investing my money elsewhere.
Welcome to you too iamhrh :wave:
As for stripping RedZee out of your analysis program I guess it depends which program you use but I just filtered out all traffic from admin.redzee.com. Worked a treat.

I called the local FBI office to report computer fraud, but I have the feeling they aren't doing anything about it. They are too busy trying to track down terrorists.
Now I have this stupid plugin on my Windows Explorer that is causing my browser to go crazy. It is like windowspositions is hijacking my homepage and Explorer is trying not to let it, so It goes nutty. Luckily I use Mozilla Firefox too.
Does anyone know how to get rid of the plugin that is screwing things up?

EVERY SINGLE ONE of the Redzee hits stayed for less than 2 seconds and never browsed another page. We never received ANY orders from redzee hits. They are just spamming their own customers to get their hit count up so that they have to renew their plan (which they sell in groups of x amount of hits). It is a TOTAL FRAUD.
Hopefully nobody else falls for this scam. I was dumb enough to because when I signed up this thread was not here! Thanks to everyone who posts here and hopefully we can prevent others from falling into this trap.
Posted 21 July 2006 - 12:37 AM
I'm new here, found you guys looking for info on thers who had been scammed by redzee. I paid them $600 for traffic through positionsguru.com and got nothing for a long time then all of a sudden I received a bunch of traffic from them. After working through my raw log files, I find exactly the same thing as the prior post - all quick hits to the page I advertised. The "customer" never leaves that page. Hmmm.
Anyway, I love this forum so far and hope to help/learn more here!
Posted 21 July 2006 - 12:44 AM
Sorry to hear about your RedZee experience. The good news is you found us and next time can run things such as that by the community first. Positive out of a negative I always say.
Posted 09 December 2006 - 11:12 AM
I'll say this again because it is very important:
Every single hit that comes from either their search engine or their spybar is a bounce.
Excluding my own testing, in every single case where an IP address has entered my sites from the redzee search engine - either directly from their search engine or from browsers that have the redzee spybar installed, which appends redzee "top 3" ppc results to the top of the Google, MSN or Yahoo organic listings - that IP address goes no further than the landing page. In some cases, the IP bounces out before the entire landing page is requested from the server.
I have tested and confirmed this through exhaustive manual analysis of my raw log files. There is absolutely no doubt that the redzee "top 3" is a scam.
I have severed my relationship with redzee in total disgust.
Posted 09 December 2006 - 06:51 PM

Yup, that's what we figured last year. It's a shame more people don't find threads like this till after the fact.

An 18-year-old wanted for shooting a man 15 times in Georgia was apprehended by Rutherford County deputies and U.S. Marshals at a motel in Murfreesboro, said Sheriff Robert Arnold.
According to detectives, Farraknad Mohammed Price, of Atlanta, was wanted for aggravated assault with a firearm and possession of a felony with a firearm.
Price was accused of shooting Orentheal Childs back on Feb. 15 in Atlanta, according to arrest warrants.
Investigators said Price was a member of the Folk Nation gang.
The marshals received information Price was staying at Knight's Inn on South Church Street, police said.
A team of marshals and deputies apprehended Price from the motel and transported him to the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center, where he is being held for Atlanta police.
Sheriff's deputies have charged Price with being a fugitive from justice.

If we want Europe to be the sort of place we want to live in by the year 2020, we need to make sure we can compete, that our way of life is sustainable and our society remains cohesive in spite of the changes which it is and will be undergoing.
The end of the transitional measures on free movement of workers represents a great opportunity, not just for individual workers, but also for Austria as a whole.
We have to transform the European business model, and Europe 2020 sets the direction. However, the social model also has to adapt. We need to make sure that it keeps apace with the challenges of the 21st century – that it is 'fit-for-purpose'.
It has become a standard narrative on the crisis to stress how profound effect it had on Europe, on our economies and on our society as a whole. (...) But one has to go beyond this very standard "horizontal" picture to really understand the situation on the ground. And here we see that the actual impact of the crisis has significantly differed across Member States and across regions themselves.
Lack of finance is among the most important reasons that hold back European business starters. One clear way to promote entrepreneurship is to increase the availability of microcredit for those who want to start up or further develop their own enterprise but do not have access to traditional banking loans.
We should recognise that ongoing reforms carry new risks. Indeed, as reforms make future pensions far more dependent on long-term developments in labour markets and financial markets. This means that we need to create employment opportunities and increase the stability of financial systems.

From the WNC Alliance
Dear friends and supporters of WNCA,
The Nantahala-Pisgah National Forest needs your voice in the current plan revision process to speak up for roadless area protections, old-growth forest protection, wildlife habitat, recreation opportunities, scenery, water quality and economic benefits of the Nantahala-Pisgah.
There are more than 1.1 million acres of land in the Nantahala-Pisgah and it is the second most visited National Forest. It also contains the highest mountains in eastern North America, and is a global hotspot for temperate biodiversity.
In 1992, 7,000 acres were clearcut in Nantahala-Pisgah National Forest; in 2012 there was no clearcutting.
Action by the Western North Carolina Alliance led to revision of the 1987 Nantahala-Pisgah Land and Resource Management Plan in 1994, leading to the forest we know and love today.
Nantahala-Pisgah National Forest is revising its management plan again, beginning in 2013, with a final decision by 2016. WNCA is working to continue and improve on the gains made in the 1994 Forest Plan Amendment.
Nantahala-Pisgah National Forest is critical to the future of our region and our nation and your efforts can help protect these lands for the next two decades.
Please write letters to the editor, the Forest Service and to your elected officials stating your support for ecological management of the forest. Get your friends and neighbors involved, too, and come to public meetings as they occur.
The next public session will be
9 a.m. – 3 p.m. Oct. 5 at the N.C. Arboretum in Asheville.
Comments or questions about the Plan revision or process can be emailed to:
Hard copies of comments can be mailed to:
National Forests in North Carolina
Nantahala-Pisgah Plan Revision
160 Zillicoa St. Suite A, Asheville, NC 28801
If you have questions or want to get involved in WNCA's work to protect the Nantahala-Pisgah, please contact me, WNCA Public Lands Field Biologist Josh Kelly, at (828) 258-8737, ext. 205 or via email at email@example.com.
Thank you for joining us to ensure the future of our beautiful and irreplaceable National Forests!

MADISON (WKOW) -- A new viral deer disease transmitted by a biting fly known as a midge is suspected of killing deer in Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources on Friday reported the suspected outbreak of epizootic hemorrhagic disease, or EHD.
EHD is a disease that is passed to deer by small biting flies. Often fatal, it typically kills the deer that is infected within 7 days. The last EHD observation in Wisconsin was in 2002 in Iowa County where fourteen deer died from the virus. EHD is common across southern states and occasionally shows up as far north as the upper Midwest.
District wildlife supervisor Eric Lobner says the outbreak appears to be centered in Columbia County, but dead deer have also been reported in Waukesha, Walworth and Rock counties.
Officials say about 30 deer have been affected so far.
Lobner says there is no way to treat or control the spread of EHD in deer but it is not a threat to humans. He says any impact on deer population will be minimal and isolated.
Anyone who comes across a sick (see signs below) or dead deer is encouraged to contact the DNR at 1-888-963-7463 or by email.

August 30
"New" is obviously a subjective —if not loaded— term, especially in a year in which The Guardian's New Band of the Day column featured Destroyer, nine albums and 15 years' worth of "new." So, for this list, we tried to take a hard-line stance that didn't just equate 'new' with 'breakout,' or, indeed, 'new to me.' Most of these acts had released little-to-no music b'fore 2011, and certainly hadn't found anything resembling hype. Anyone who splashed onto the blogosphere last year was considered no longer 'new.' Anyone whose 2011 Breakout we could see coming last year wasn't counted. Here, 'new' is taken semi-seriously, most of the time...
1. Austra
Well, "new," here you are. Austra's debut 12-inch, "The Beat and the Pulse," done dropped in 2010, and I've been listening to Katie Stelmanis' since the one-time child chorister bust out her impressive solo album, 2008's Join Us. But it's hard to deny the splash she's made in 2011: first signing to Domino, then killing it at SXSW, then releasing one of the records of the year, with her debut Feel it Break, which soon scored a Polaris Music Prize nomination. Austra finds Stelmanis reinventing herself as electro-goth chanteuse, building a sparklingly-produced set from beats, synths, and orchestral highlights. But just like when she was a solo piano-pounder —and when she was a child chorister, too— the star of the show is Stelmanis's voice: big, booming, and beautiful.
2. Bobby
Bobby feature, quite notably, two Mountain Man members, Molly Sarle and Amelia Randall Meath, in their midst. That's how they were introduced, too, on Bobby's first publicly-released song, the brilliant "Sore Spores," where Sarle's soulful singing straddled a strange, loping jam of somehow-R&B-ish psychedelic indie-rock. Yet Bobby isn't a side-project, more a loose collective; a broken social scene of Bennington College pals. Their leader is a chap named Tom Greenberg, and they have an almost-jam-band feel. Bobby's self-titled debut LP —due out late June— is full of loosely-knitted, warm-hearted songs that routinely roll out to six minutes; and they tend to sound their best at their dreamiest, when they close their eyes and get lost in 'the vibe.'
3. Colleen Green
Here's where the rules get thrown away. Colleen Green had already cranked out two cassettes and one Bandcamp file-batch before 2011 arrived. And I was definitely dancing the night away to her fast, fun, neo-pop-punk jams back in those long-gone days of 2010. But, given she didn't have anything widely available 'til Hardly Art put out her "Green One" 7-inch in March, and given this year's SXSW served as a coming-out party for her, and given she's like totally awesome, let's just slap a "new" crown atop Queen Colleen. Anyone digging the super-melodic, over-saturated, lo-fidelity sound of past buzzy buzz-bands like Dum Dum Girls, Cloud Nothings, Best Coast, etc, will find much to love here. And, hopefully, before 2011 is out, we'll have a whole proper Colleen Green LP to love.
4. Craft Spells
Without wishing to begin every entry with a caveat: yes, Craft Spells put out their first single, "Party Talk," in 2010. On Captured Tracks, no less, the Brooklyn-based label that pretty much owned 2010. So, they were definitely around last year; especially given how good a jam "Party Talk" is. But when their debut LP, Idle Labor, arrived in March, it felt like falling in love all over again. The promise of those first two singles, "Party Talk" and "After the Moment," flourished across a whole album, and people took notice. Especially anyone who loves twee pop, or Beach Fossils' magical jangle. I have no quantifiable statistic for this, but Idle Labor feels like a real word-of-mouth record, bound to reverberate more throughout 2011 the longer the year goes on.
5. The Deeep
Most 2011 new-band lists would be jacked for Grimes, the amazing Montréal dame currently swamped in buzz; but given I was all over Grimes last year, that's not happening here. Her Canadian comrades The Deeep are doing something just as shadowy, strange, and awesome, if thus far under-the-radar. The Toronto duo's debut LP, Life Light, is a sketchy sonic séance pitting fried electronic noise against the echo-saturated soul-singing of Isla Craig. For most of the LP, their music veers more towards the experimental; opener "Meadow Dust" setting the tone with eight minutes of rhythmless chaos. But super-slow slow-jam closer "Slow Coaster" suggests a pop future for The Deeep, its bump'd-bass, blunt beats, and slurred singing amounting to a clubland nightmare of quarter-speed dream-pop.
6. Dirty Beaches
Our old pal Sharon Van Etten once compared internet-comment-threads to a public toilet door. And, just as when you're forced into some scuzzy john, it's rare that you find anything enlightening written when you decide to scroll down. But reading some internet pundit dub Dirty Beaches as sounding "like Elvis yelling at us from hell" stuck with me, not so much in the comparison to Elvis, but the way that it evoked the subterranean evil of Alex Zhang Hungtai's ultra-lo-fi exhumation of greaser chic and rockabilly lip-curling. Admittedly, he sounds less like Elvis, more like Elvis-by-way-of-Alan-Vega; riding dead-zone trance-outs down terrifying Lost Highways of coughing, foggy, smoggy blues.
Erika M. Anderson wasn't exactly an unknown commodity before 2011. She'd wielded her noisy guitar in Amps for Christ and Evangelista, and, most notably, been half of awesome LA duo Gowns, whose 2007 LP Red State was a terrifying, near-biblical portrait of life in the wastelands of, um, South Dakota. Yet, her EMA solo guise has introduced her to the world anew, and suddenly Anderson is looming as one of the year's most unexpected breakout acts. Her fearsome debut EMA LP, Past Life Martyred Saints, has captured the hearts and ears of scores more listeners than Gowns ever did, even as it mines the same line of scorched-Earth noise, spectral drone, eerie vocals, and lyrics bordering on satire. Largely due to the fact that it's undeniably brilliant.
8. Exitmusic
If you're an OK Computer tribute band, that's one thing. But, if you're out to make your own name for yourself, taking your rockband's handle from one of Radiohead's most iconic jams is a move both brazen and brave. If you back it up, kudos to you; if you fail, isn't it courting career suicide? New Yorker duo Aleksa Palladino and Devon Church seem like they're a band of enough ambition to work it; no mere Radiohead fanboys, but a dream-pop duo whose swirling atmospherics possess crazy crossover potential. Exitmusic's debut, four-song EP, From Silence, stacks layers of atmospheric guitar and etched electronics into swirling sonic symphonies, with Palladino's caroling voice drizzled over the top. I'm not going to guarantee they'll soon be huge, but it kind of feels like that.
9. Gross Magic
Gross Magic comes armed with '90s signifiers: his debut EP, Teen Jamz, verily dressed in nostalgic references to back-then. Yet, no matter how much the Brighton-based one-man-band —Sam McGarrigle to his ma— talks up his love of Nirvana, this is no grunge-era revivalism. Instead, it's more another case of a digital-era artist putting pop-cultural history into a blender. These vitamized jamz takes cues from Ariel Pink and even old-school Beck; refashioning the bright melodies of AM radio past into short, sharp, scrappy, noisy jams. Anyone who fell for Spectrals or Dom in 2010 will be in on this Gross Magic racket. McGarrigle's previous project, Hocus Tocus, found some scattered blog love, but nothing like the reception Gross Magic got this year.

The P-AK Donaldson Carbon Adsorption Filter Element 05/20 is an adsorption filter element that removes oil, other hydrocarbon vapors, and odors from the air. Adsorption is the removal of the molecules of a substance such as a gas or liquid onto another surface, such as a solid. It is different from absortion in that the molecules of the substances do not adhere to the other surface.
This carbon adsorption filter is made up of two filter stages. Oil, hydrocarbon vapors, and odors are removed at the activated carbon stage. At the microfiber fleece depth filter stage, particles are removed from the air. Support fleece and an outer stainless steel support sleeve ensure the structural integrity of the adsorption and filter stages.

- 3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head. 4 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? 5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
- 6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. 7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always. 8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. 9 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
- Compare: Matthew 26:6-13; John 12:1-8
Jesus, the Anointed One
Jesus being anointed with oil by an unnamed woman is one of the more interesting passages during Marks passion narrative. Why does she choose to do it? What do Jesus comments say about his ultimate feelings about the poor and destitute?
The identity of this woman is unknown, but other gospels say she is Mary, sister of Simon (which would make sense, if they were in his house). Where did she get a box of precious oil and what was originally planned with it? The anointing of Jesus is performed in accordance with the traditional anointing of kings appropriate, if one believes that Jesus was the king of the Jews. Jesus entered Jerusalem in royal fashion and would be mocked as king later before his crucifixion.
An alternative interpretation is offered by Jesus himself at the end of the passage, though, when he observes that she he anointing his body before the burying. This would have been read as a foreshadowing of Jesus execution, at least by Marks audience.
Scholars think that the value of this oil, 300 denarii, would have been around that made by a well-paid laborer over the course of an entire year. At first, it seems that Jesus followers (were they just the apostles there, or were there others?) had learned his lessons about the poor very well: they complain that the oil had been wasted when it could have been sold and the proceeds used to help the destitute, such as the widow from the end of chapter 12 who appeared to donate the last of her own funds to the Temple.
What these people dont realize is that it isnt about the poor, its all about Jesus: hes the center of attention, the star of the show, and the whole point for their being there. If its all about Jesus, then an otherwise frivolous expenditure is not out of line. The attitude displayed to the poor, however, is utterly appalling and has been used by various Christian leaders to justify their own appalling behavior.
Granted, it is likely impossible to completely eliminate the poor in society, but what sort of reason is that for treating them in such an instrumental manner? Granted, Jesus may only expect to be around for a short period of time, but what reason is that to refuse to aid destitute people whose lives are miserable through no fault of their own?

Decatur - The South Shores Drive bridge has reopened after being rebuilt. The old bridge was closed in September 2012.
The $2.8 million bridge was raised by three feet to allow better access for boat traffic. Many boats could not fit under the old bridge which was built in the early 1900's.
Bridge work was delayed by a wet spring. "Heavy rain that delayed the relocation of a sewer line," City Manager Ryan McCrady told WAND News. The new sewer line sits parallel to the bridge.
Now that construction work is completed 1,000 cars a day are expected to pass over the bridge.
904 South Side Drive
