Wives are the Ultimate Trainers
As I look back on my life, I realize that the majority of my "learning" did not happen during the 12-years of grade school. Nope. It happened in the last 13 years of marriage. Consider this: My wife has programmed-in specific keywords that trigger a subliminal response:
- "I'm thirsty" – Somehow, I find myself near the refrigerator putting ice in a cup. But, not just any cup. It's a specific cup that only she likes drinking water out of. Can she drink out of another cup? Of course she can! I've seen it. But, with me getting THIS SPECIFIC CUP TYPE, proves that her teaching is working, as I put the pretty straw in the water. #TRAINED!
- "I'm cold" – I'm not exactly sure how this happens, but the last thing I remember, I was sitting on the couch. Now, however miraculous it was, I find myself flipping the switch to the overhead fan. And, did I….. yes, I believe I did. I'm pretty sure I walked all the way around the room, rather than a straight shot to the switch, to prevent the blocking of the TV for 2 seconds. #TRAINED!
Other things have happened that make me think this too. Such as:
- At night, I climb into bed, and I always make sure my mobile device that I'm looking at is muted or has headphones on. Sometimes, I forgot about the volume and something plays. For that 1.2 seconds of volume, I get the look of terror. However, other nights, I'll be in bed quietly reading, while listing to the latest Oprah video or funny cat video from my wife's phone. Why can't I do that? I tried, but it just feels wrong. #TRAINED!
- I'll wake up early in the morning. My wife can sleep in. I quietly move around the room. I close the door before turning on the bathroom light. I slowly pull the dresser drawer out. Other mornings, I get to sleep in, and lights get blared on, make-up canisters dropped in sink, dresser drawer closed hard enough to make sure it won't automatically open again. Why can't I do that? #TRAINED!
I'm not exactly sure how she did that, but I'm pretty sure I'm not alone. Did women get pulled into a vocational class during high school to teach this ancient and secret art of Husband Transformation? And, lest we not forget, the ultimate behavior that all women are proud of. The toilet seat. Yes, the famous toilet seat that husbands are afraid to leave up, even for a prank, unless you want to be visited by the exorcist hyped up on triple espressos, speaking some language that probably doesn't exist.
I know what you are saying right now. All wives are hypocrits. But, you would be wrong. You would be very wrong. Wives are not hypocrits. They are a needed and necessary part of……….. wait, why am I writing this?
Well, ladies…. finally….. there is a picture for you!! Thank you and good night! For some reason, I'm getting a feeling to sleep on the couch. Wait, my legs are moving. I don't want to sleep on the couch. Why am I taking a pillow? Zzzzzzzz
Daylight Savings – The Movie
Darn you Daylight Savings! Or is it Daylight Saving? Wait, do I lose an hour sleep? No, it's fall forward, no back. Wait, is it dark already?!?! AAARRRGGGHHHH!!! I'm afraid of the dark!
Becoming self-sufficient
Over the last couple of years, my wife and I have made a decision to become more self-sufficient as a family. For far too long, we've been reliant on companies and other people to provide for us. We, as a society, have become complacent and dependent on these companies to supply us with our needs. But, what would happen if one, or more, of those companies go under? Or what if they are doing things that are not morally ethical and you don't want to be a part of it? What would you do? (more…)

My Valentine's Post
What exactly is Valentine's Day? A day that Hallmark created to sell greeting cards of love? A day that kids can create cool shoe-box containers where others can "drop" their valentine's day cards in? Perhaps, Valentine's Day is just another day, like yesterday?
Moving TV to "free"-dom.
Cable and Satellite TV gives the general public everything they need, when you don't really know what you need. And then, they give you more. More channels are available than you can dream of. No one (at least no one I know) watches them all. But, the broadcasting companies know this. So, they package channels that they know you want, with channels that you probably won't use, JUST so that you can upgrade your package to another level.

I got my Pebble!! I am loving it! I can upload from hundreds of watch faces. Right now, I just chose a basic one. But, what I love most, is that I get my phone notifications on my watch. I can see who is calling, read my text message that just came in, or check what that email was.

Guest Column: Reload FOX
By Michael Cannariato
I've spent hours watching FOX Noise since the Tucson murders and attempted assassination of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.).
When you're retired, you can waste whole days if you're not careful.
FOX Noise has its script set. The talking points have been issued. The message, delivered at least once every segment, is clear—"We don't know what the assassin's motive was, but its apparent it wasn't political."
Excuse me, and millions of Americans, for suspecting that an assassination attempt on a newly-re-elected congresswoman who was involved in the recent volatile campaign against Jesse Kelly, a 16MM machine gun-toting Tea Partier, might have something to do with politics.
The assassin is the only person responsible for the massacre in Tucson—not Gifford's Tea Party proponent, or Sarah Palin, or FOX Noise.
I repeat, the assassin is the person responsible.
But what if a Hispanic would have shot an elected opponent of the new Arizona law, and then shot 19 others, killing six? What if a Democratic spokesperson attacking the Arizona law had targeted (with crossfire hairs, as in a rifle's scope) the political defeat of the politician this person tried to execute? Would FOX be as certain that the gunman wasn't acting out of vitriol and angst against the Tea Party agenda, and that this was simply the madness of a pot-smoking loner?
I doubt it.
Within 12 hours, FOX would be calling for draconian government action regarding any suspicious immigrants. Their entire slant would have been political well before they knew what this murderer's motive was. But now, they caution us not to over-react against those who foster a climate of intolerance for any who politically disagree with them.
How tolerant of them.
How transparent of them.
How obvious of them.
Listen to the well-scripted mantra the FOX talking puppets follow.
"He's a pot-smoking . . . loner; . . . he's bizarre, ". . . but since, (as FOX reported), among his favorite books beside Mein Kampf was the Communist Manifesto (no doubt, he likely didn't read either one); the one thing that's apparent early to FOX Noise is that this "wasn't politically motivated."
Brit Hume already predicted how the Left will try to make "political hay out of this. . ."
Hey, Brit, if this were a Hispanic attempting to assassinate a newly-elected Tea Party congressman in Arizona, FOX would make enough "political hay" out of it to fill all the barns in Montana.
FOX Noise has their work cut out for them these next few days.
Reload, FOX, and be careful not to be too obvious; don't "shoot from the hip" these next few days. Maybe, just maybe, your partisan intolerance might be in the spotlight these next few weeks. Reload, FOX, and realize you need not be part of the problem. Instead, question politicians' actions without questioning their patriotism. Do the hard work of investigative news at the expense of the vitriol and misrepresentation of the inflammatory less-than-accurate 7-second spout.
During such times as these, even Sarah Palin and FOX Noise can assume responsibility for redirecting the political dialogue away from how good Americans must think to what good Americans do.
But don't bet on it.

"New and noteworthy"
I've never read the print version (but I have it and will read it for sure in near future).
The performance was maybe even better than I would expect from reading the book along by myself.
Very good passages about today's fast fashion companies.
"As usual - from the Underdark"
Forgotten Realms is one of my favorite settings in D&D universe. Drizzt may be not my favorite hero but the overall feeling is nice.
Obold - he's quite a person.
The gnome mage.
"Blood and death"
I don't really think that I'll recommend this book to a friend, maybe only to listen how a really good narration should be performed.
The story itself is not that interesting, but the idea of the story is notable.

The Northwest's premier acoustic music festival returns for its seventh year to beautiful Horning's Hideout in North Plains, Oregon, on July 18-20. The event boasts three days of nearly all-acoustic music, culminating each night with main stage performances from musical hosts Yonder Mountain String Band, this year joined by special guest fiddler Darol Anger (David Grisman Quintet, Psychograss) and banjo/guitar virtuoso Danny Barnes (Bad Livers, Tim O'Brien Band). Yonder Mountain String Band has been called "the fastest gr
With Earth Day, April 22, just around the corner, it's time to celebrate Going Green. Music has long offered a platform for revolution and on July 4th weekend 2008, ROTHBURY emerges as a new American celebration. For this next generation of the rock and roll music festival, ROTHBURY sets forth as a huge party with a purpose. Hosted at the one-of-a-kind Double JJ Ranch in Rothbury, Michigan, the unique festival site offers trails, forests, fields, lakes and beach fronts, and even on-site lodging, bars and eateries.
This entire trip ranks up there with one of the biggest adventures I've had to date.
Steve Poltz considers himself more at home in a hotel room than at his beach-accessible San Diego home. Many artists say they tour year-around, but Poltz truly does. Often when he plays a city, he comes back and hits it again within weeks, and then again. "No two shows are alike," he says. "So if you saw me at Joe's Pub in New York last month, you'll get an entirely different show the next time." Seeing that shows are unscripted, with no set lists, fueled only by the spirit of the audience, a growing legion of fans returns two and three times per year.
The sixth annual 10,000 Lakes Festival (10KLF) held July 23-26 at the Soo Pass Ranch in Detroit Lakes, MN returns as the Midwest's premiere camping and music destination event with an additional round of artist confirmations. Campgrounds are filling quickly based on the excitement of the festival's diverse selection of already announced artists. 10KLF 2008 will also feature performances from:
Amanda Bell, who covered Langerado on behalf of the Grateful Web, has started to send her pictures from the weekend. We're in the process of getti
AEG Live Rocky Mountain Region announces the first annual Mile High Music Festival powered by SanDisk on July 19th and 20th. Mile High Music Festival will be held on the Outer Fields at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers will headline on Saturday, July 19th; Dave Matthews Band will top the bill on Sunday, July 20th. Colorado has never before seen a music festival of this magnitude: hosting five stages (some tented), food from many of Denver's top restaurants, an artists' village, misting tents and more.
Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh and Friends and New Orleans legends The Neville Brothers, who celebrate 30 years of performing together, highlight the initial lineup for this summer's Gathering of the Vibes.
The thirteenth annual music, camping and arts festival is set for July 31–Aug. 3, 2008 at Bridgeport's Seaside Park. The event has again endeavored to support a number of local and national charitable and not-for-profit organizations.
The state of Colorado can already boast two major bluegrass festivals, those being the world renowned Telluride Bluegrass and its spectacular younger cousin Rockygrass. Well, a third of such would be the Yarmony Grass Music Festival, a bluegrass-featured gathering nestled deep in the Rocky Mountains.

November 19, 2009 11:42:00 AM
A crowd gathered at Starkville Recycling Wednesday to celebrate the success of the city''s curbside recycling program, but the group was greeted with some unexpected news when Ward 3 Aldermen Eric Parker announced the amount of recyclable materials collected that morning from city streets was the largest amount to-date.
City Sanitation Department trucks picked up an estimated 12,000 pounds of recyclable materials Wednesday, which surpassed the previous high of 11,090 pounds in a collection day. In the seven weeks since the curbside pickup program began, Starkville Recycling has processed an estimated 61,130 pounds of materials.
During a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the program, Greater Starkville Development Partnership President Jon Maynard applauded the efforts of city officials and Starkville Recycling for beginning the first free curbside recycling pickup effort in the state.
"What Starkville is doing here today set precedence for the entire state of Mississippi," Maynard said.
Mayor Parker Wiseman also commended the more than 1,000 residents who have signed up for the program.
"This is a success story that potentially is a teacher for others in the state and in the region," Wiseman said.
Starkville Recycling is located at 211 C.C. Clark Road.

The trick is that it needs to remain voluntary and free. That way those who choose to recycle can do so without forcing ideals or costs on other citizens.
If it is forced on people or you require the city as a whole to pay for it, then you will run into resistance.

When I stumbled across the Gnu Foods Espresso Chip Flavor & Fiber Bar, it went into my cart right away ... Espresso? Excellent. Chocolate chips? Even better. I like Gnu bars in general, and I couldn't wait to try this new variety. Gnu says, "the Espresso Chip Gnu Bar is a smooth blend of rich, ground coffee with tasty chocolate chips. The bold flavors will excite and delight your taste buds."
I took a bite of the chewy bar. I liked the espresso taste, and the chocolate chips were a nice touch. This was earthier than more candy bar-like bars (e.g. Fiber One Chocolate Mocha Bar), but it was satisfying in its own way. This will join the Gnu Foods Peanut Butter Bar in my go-to Gnu bars.
Each 45-gram Gnu Foods Espresso Chip Flavor & Fiber Bar provides 140 calories, 4 grams of total fat of which 1 gram is saturated (6% and 4% of the daily value), only 35 mg of sodium (1% of the DV), 4 grams of protein and 30 grams of carbohydrates which includes 12 grams of dietary fiber (48% of the DV) and 8 grams of sugar. The ingredients are "entirely natural" and includes Gnu High Fiber Blend (whole rolled oats, organic whole wheat flour, wheat bran, organic kamut, psyllium, flax, millet).
The calorie count is wonderfully reasonable, the amount of fiber totals 1/2 of the daily recommendation for women. At $1.89, it was pricey, but totally worth it.

Jonathan Papelbon is making a pretty good case.
Monday, he attempted to clarify it further.
"I'm truly speaking from my heart. I'm not sitting here saying something that they might read that makes them want to keep me. This has nothing to do with … I'm going to stay or go. I'm going to honestly go out there and play the way Cinco knows how to play," said the Red Sox closer. "All I can do is be Jonathan Papelbon to my wife and my family and the guys in this clubhouse, and Cinco Ocho as soon as I walk across the white line. That's enough on my plate for right now."
What's on Papelbon's plate is closing out games, which he has done pretty well thus far this season. He has converted 10 off 11 save opportunities, struck out 31 and walked just three. Among baseball's club of closers, he has re-established himself as one of the best.
All of it is why Papelbon could stand in front of his locker prior to the Red Sox' series-opener against the White Sox and confidently explain how he viewed his lot in life as he marches through his first-ever free agent season.
"This role is so much different than so many other roles. There's a lot more to it than just the X's and O's, being a closer. So much more than just going on the mound and throwing," he said. "I've had six years of doing this under my belt. And I mean doing it in this atmosphere. It's more of a mental grind and it takes more mental toughness to be able to put up with everything that comes with the territory of closing in Boston, and playing in New York 17 times a year.
"I think that in my situation … In the last six years the city of Boston has seen nobody but me close. You start getting to that point of expectations, and what people expect."
There is a point to be made.
The market for closers has always muddied the waters when trying to envision Papelbon returning to the Red Sox following the 2011 season. Yet, as we sit here, he has managed to position himself to make a run at a long-term deal, the kind of which that is becomingly increasingly rare among game-ending relievers.
When listening to Papelbon explain his own value to the organization, you start to wonder.
There has been no closer in Red Sox history who has been able to not only survive in the role for six seasons, but produce at an All-Star level for the majority of their tenure in Boston, as has been the case with Papelbon. And since Papelbon took over the closers role in '06, only Francisco Rodriguez has more saves. During the stretch he has totaled a 2.21 ERA with an opponents batting average against of .200.
And, as the closer is quick to point out, the numbers have been garnered in one of baseball's most unique environments.
"If I stay the appreciation factor will increase year by year, but if I go it will be a situation where the fans -- strictly the fans -- will realize what they had and what they would be missing," he said. "My dad always told me, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Sometimes people want to try and fix things that aren't broken, and sometimes they don't."
Papelbon makes it clear: His first hope is that the Red Sox don't feel like his corner of the roster needs to be fixed.
"I said this for years, I would like to stay here and break every record I possibly can, and win as many championships as I can in this uniform because this is the organization I came up with," he said. "I've done great things, and I've done some stupid things since I've been here. I've been the role model son of this organization, and I've been the red-headed step-child."
But, in the next breath, Papelbon reminds himself of baseball's reality, one which he surfaces when asked if he would find it difficult to envision himself in another uniform.
"No, it's not. That's something I've told my self from Day 1, that I've got to do what's best for me and my family. I've got to do what will make me successful," he said. "It's not about the money, it's about going somewhere day in and day out and wanting to be there. That's what it all boils down to. Going to a job every day I want to go to. I've really kept that in perspective.
"You're going to go through your ups and downs, but at the end of the day when you look at the last six years it does make things interesting. It's all about what they may be looking for in the future, and if I'm in that equation, I'm in it, and if I'm not, I'm not."
The fastball command is there. The split is back. The slider is a viable weapon. And saves are being made.
Papelbon is making the kind of case some might have forgotten could be made.
"Sometimes if you stick to the plan, it falls the way you want to," he said. "You're going to have ups and downs, and have to grind it out. Nothing is going to fall in your lap."

Hello once again, everypony!! John here!
I know it's been almost five months since I've posted anything, but I've picked up on several projects and work is slow-going at the moment... (Sorry!!) Anyhow, I'm taking a break from the "My Little Psycho" project and begun work on a multi-universe cross-over fic in which a small group of my friends and I move through several worlds in an attempt to get home safely! It's called "The Rift". Now, what I need are suggestions.
Thus far, I have covered Silent Ponyville by Jake Heritagu, and have planned a trip to Skyrim, as well as the universe of Phoenix Wright. These suggestions can be anything! Books, movies, video games, TV shows, or even fan fiction!
Any suggestion is appreciated, so don't be shy!
***Side-note***: I have recently acquired a new commissioner! Because of this, the upcoming stories may have delayed cover art.

Anywho, I hope you all R&R!!! No you silly fillies, not rest & Relaxation, but READ AND REVIEW! Your reviews mean the world to both John and myself, and so they are encouraged and greatly appreciated! In particular I'd like for those of you who make it to the end to tell me if the final chapter should be split or not.

Well Done! by the way Celestia is an alicorn, which are 1/3 of each of the ponies, not just pegasia and unicorns, but earth ponies as well (that where they get their strength.)
That was a beautiful story. Pinkie Pie still remains my favorite character, perhaps even moreso... Anyways, It'd be nice to know more about Sebastian... Nice story.
>>112326 Thanks, man. Bare in mind, however that this is far from the end. Sebastian still has much to do, injuries to sustain and justice to be deal. This little couplette is part of something much bigger... The next story will be posted soon enough. Keep an eye out for "Nightmare Boutique". To find out more about Sebastian, go to heroesofterra.weebly.com/heroes.html
There are many more stories featuring him if you're interested.
One does not simply kill Pinkamina Diane Pie
Interesting story though.
>>119290 Thanks for the feedback, but i'd hardly call this whole ordeal "simple". "Quick"? Sure, but when one seems to come back from the dead, it's quite a game-changer... To compensate, Sebastian opted for better weapons and actually prepared himself for this round.

Potassium is an important mineral whose importance is often overlooked. However, it plays a huge role in optimal functioning of both the heart and the nervous system. Potassium also plays a role in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance in body cells. The average person should consume an estimated 2,000 milligrams of potassium per day. Excellent sources of potassium include: raisins, prunes, bananas, strawberries, watermelon, cantaloupe, oranges, beans, peas, turkey and fish.
Have you had your flavonoids today? Be honest, have you even heard of flavonoid? Most people don't know the first thing about these flavonoids known for their antioxidant properties. While flavonoids are responsible for adding pigmentation to flowers and protecting plants from insects and other microbes, they've developed a reputation for preventing cancer and cardiovascular disease. Good sources of flavonoids include onions, chocolate, red wine, green tea, berries, citrus fruits and beans.
Fats have gotten a bad rap over the years. However, all fats are not creative equal. There are good fats and bad fats. Good fats come from fish, nuts, avocados, seeds, olive oil and other foods. While they are high in calories, these foods contain omega-3s and omega-6s which are actually health-enhancing properties. These fats are responsible for improving conditions ranging from heart health to depression. Avoid bad fats such as saturated fats found in animal products like meat, dairy and eggs, and trans fats found in processed foods such as fries, chips, cakes and cookies.
A little weight loss can go a long way...in the bedroom. Research shows that losing just 10 percent of those extra pounds can dramatically improve your sex life. Experts say that's because people tend to have a better self image when they lose weight, making them more comfortable when it comes to intimacy. Shedding just 10 pounds can improve your libido. Following a low-fat diet that helps improve cholesterol and blood sugar levels will also boost your sex drive.
If you�ve hit the snooze on your 2010 fitness goals, try these five tips.
When you take too large a bite of food, you�re more likely to choke. The same is true when it comes to exercise. If you set a big short-term goal, like �I want to lose 20 pounds in a month�, you will usually fail; whereas short-term goals that are easy to achieve and doable tend to succeed. Try setting small monthly goals that are challenging and fun, such as getting strong enough to do 10 push-ups, and go from there.
When it comes to looking your best, the key is not to get caught up in your reflection. Most of the people who burn out are very concerned with losing weight instead of enjoying exercise. So instead of focusing on how your body is changing, try focusing on how much healthier you feel. If you train for the mirrors, you will never be happy. Instead, train for how it make you feel.
Working out on a whim won�t get you very far. To be successful, the key is planning ahead. Know your schedule and organize your exercise time at the beginning of each week. Be sure to have a gym bag packed and ready to go. By getting your things together and putting them close to the door or in the car, you will have little room for excuses not to go.
If you�re fortunate enough to live in a climate with seasonal weather, use it to your advantage. Changing your workout program every six to eight weeks to accommodate weather conditions is a great way to stay motivated. During the winter, you can do yoga or strength training indoors. When the weather changes, head outdoors to walk, jog or bike. It�s a wonderful way to think about the year and making goals. There�s also an added bonus: Taking a break from an activity can actually improve your performance when you return to it.
Getting a good night�s sleep is essential to a healthy lifestyle. Create the right environment by keeping your bedroom cool, dark and comfortable as well as quiet. Watch what you eat before bedtime by not eating too soon before turning in and staying away from caffeine, alcohol and nicotine at least 6 hours before you go to sleep.

DBC 5, 1967 F. c. PRISET 3,356,118
FRANKFURTER SLI CER Filed April 23, 1965 TP'Ue/VE YS.
United States Patent() M 3,356,118 FRANKFURTER SLICER Francis C. Priset, R.D. 1, Painted Post, N.Y. 14870 Filed Apr. 23, 1965, Ser. No. 450,282 7 Claims. (Cl. 146--72) ABSTRACT F THE DISCLOSURE A slicer comprising a base plate, a knife pivoted to said base plate, clamping means on said base plate aligned wit-l1 said knife and presenting an opening to receive said knife.
This invention relates to a slicer for cuting frankfurters and similar elongated food articles lengthwise.
The primary object of the invention is the provision of a practical, easily operated, and accurately slicing device of the kind indicated, which has frankfurter clamping means for holding a frankfurter or the like centered relative to a pivoted knife, the clampin-g means being adjustable for frankfurters of different diameters.
In the drawings:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a device of the invention, showing the knife in elevated position;
FIGURE 2 is -a right -hand end elevation of FIGURE l;
FIGURE 3 is a longitudinal section taken on the line 3-3 of FIGURE 4; and
FIGURE 4 is a top plan view of the device.
Referring in detail to the drawings, the illustrated device comprises a flat elongated base plate 10, having first and second ends 12 and 14, respectively. A pair of opposed L-shaped brackets 16 have their horizontal flanges 18 secured upon the base plate, adjacent to the first end 12 thereof, as by means of screws 20. The vertical flanges 22 of the brackets 16 are parallel spaced from each other, and are traversed, at their upper ends, by -a pivot bolt 24.
An elongated flat knife blade 26, longer than the base plate 10, has a straight, sharpened lower cutting edge 28. The first end 30 of the blade 26 extends between and beyond the vertical flanges 22 of the brackets 16, and is centrally journalled on the pivot bolt 24. The first end 3) and the adjacent part of the lower edge of the blade 26 are rounded, as indicated at 32, for purposes of clearance with the upper surface 34 of the base plate, -as the blade is elevated, and elimination of an injurious projection. At the second end of the blade, the lower edge of the blade is upwardly bevelled, as indicated at 36, to define a tang 38, to the opposite sides of which are secured convex handle members 40, defining a handle 42, which reaches beyond the second end 14 of the base plate 10.
A frankfurter clamping assembly 44 is disposed on the upper surface 34 of the base plate 10, beneath and in line with the blade 26. The assembly 44 comprises a pair of opposed, similar frankfurter holding clamps 46, which comprise facing and spaced concave or convex ears 4S, having, on their lower ends, laterally outwardly extending inner horizontal flanges 50, spaced upwardly from the upper surface 34 of the base plate. The inner horizontal flanges 50 merge downwardly, as indicated at 52, into outer laterally upwardly extending horizontal flanges 54. The outer flanges 54 bear upon and are secured upon the upper surface 34, as by means of screws 56.
The -clamps 46 are located on the base plate 10, near to and in longitudinally spaced relationship to the knife brackets 16, with the space between the clamps 46 in line with the blade 26.
The clamping assembly 44 further comprises a pair of longitudinally elongated, parallel, and laterally spaced, and laterally adjustable frankfurter centering bars 58. The bars 58, as indicated in FIGURES 2 and 4, are flat and are of vertical cross-section, such that they are frictional- 3,356,1 18 Patented Dec. 5, 1967 ly engaged with the upper surface 34 of the base plate 10, and the undersurfaces of the inner flanges 50 of the clamps 46.
The centering bars 58, comprise parallel sided main portion-s 60, which are of a length to extend longitudinally, from a point near to and spaced from the second end 14 of the base plate 10, to a point midway between the knife brackets 16 and the clamps 46. At their ends adjacent to the knife brackets 16, the centering bars 58 have op posed, laterally inwardly reaching extensions 62, which have arcuate concave edges 64, which merge into the laterally inward edges y66 of the bars. The concave edges 64, as indicated in FIGURE 4, are adapted to conform' ably engage the underside of the convex end 68 of a frankfurter F, disposed 'between the clamps 46 and the centering bars 58, and bearing upon the latter.
By loosening the screws 56 which hold the clamps 46 in place, the clamps 46 may be elevated, relative to the centering bars 58, so that the latter can be adjusted, toward and away from each other, for accommodating frankfurters of different diameters. When such an adjustment has been made, retightening of the screws 56 holds the adjustment.
In order to prevent the cutting edge of the blade 26 from harmfully striking the upper surface 34 of the base plate 10, on a downwardly cutting stroke of the blade, a stop screw 70 is threaded into the upper face of the base plate 10, near its second end 14, in line with the blade, the head 72 of the screw 7l) being disposed on a level above the base plate surface 34, for engagement by the blade edge 28, as shown in FIGURE 3.
In use and operation, a frankfurter F having been positioned between the clamps 46 and the adjusted centering bars 58, with the blade 26, in an elevated position, the frankfurter is cut into two similar halves, simply by depressing the blade until it contacts the stop screw 70.
What is claimed is:
1. A slicer for a frankfurter having a convex end, said slicer comprising a base plate having an upper surface, a frankfurter clamping and centering assembly mounted upon said upper surface and extending therealong, and a knife blade pivoted at one end on the base plate adjacent one end of said assembly, said assembly including means to restrain upward movement of the frankfurter when the knife is withdrawn.
2. A slicer according to claim 1, wherein said assembly comprises a pair of laterally spaced and opposed clamps through which a frankfurter is adapted to be engaged lengthwise, the blade being adapted to be depressed between the clamp for slicing the frankfurter.
3. A slicer according to claim 2, wherein in said assembly there are provided laterally spaced centering bars having laterally inwardly extending extension at one end therefore for conforming engagement with the convex end of a frankfurter disposed between and upon the bars.
4. A Slicer according to claim 3, wherein said assembly includes means associated with the clamps for clamping the centering bars in laterally adjusted position of the bars relative to each other.
5. A slicer of the character described, comprising a flat base plate having an upper surface and first and second ends, bracket means upstanding on the base plate at said first end, an elongated blade pivoted at one end on said bracket means, said blade having a handle on its other end, a pair of opposed and facing laterally spaced clamps upstanding on said base plate near to and spaced from said bracket means, the space between said clamps being aligned with the blade, screws securing said clamps upon the upper surface of the base plate, said clamps having horizontal flanges placed upwardly from said upper surface, a pair of longitudinally elongated frankfurter centering bars lying upon said upper surface, said bars being laterally spaced from each other and engaged between the anges of the clarnps and the upper surface of the base plate, said screws being' adapted to be tightened t0 clamp said bars between the anges and the upper surface of the base plate and being adapted to be loosened to enable adjusting the bars toward and away from each other.
6. A slicer according to claim 5, wherein said centering bars have first ends disposed between said bracket means and the said clamps and second ends located close to the l second end of the base plate, said rst ends of the bars having laterally inwardly reaching extensions. 7.

PASSING ON THE BATON, NO. 19b - OVERCOMING ANGRY CONFLICTS AND ATTITUDES continued.
Proverbs 15:18 (HSCB): "A hot-tempered man stirs up conflict, but a man slow to anger calms strife." As we raise our children, it is important for us fathers to teach them how to be peacemakers and not strife-stirrers. We do this by example of course.
Because children are immature and are susceptible to foolishness, we fathers and mothers must learn the art of being peacemakers. We all know that this is not a once in a while thing but is a ministry that has to be exercised daily. A parent who does not have their own anger under control cannot settle a dispute successfully. A firm, but at the same time, calm spirit can quickly settle the hostility between siblings.
Even strife between adults cannot be settled when one party is angry, or both parties have never been taught how to take control over anger in their spirits. Whenever we sense anger rising in ourselves, we must immediately go to prayer and seek the Lord to give us the strength to keep it in check, or we will quickly become unrighteous. What may begin righteously, if not watched closely, may soon become unrighteous, especially in the case of anger or those who do not know how to control their anger.
The most important aspect of parenting children is to teach them how to deal with their anger from an early age. Being "slow to anger" is one of God's attributes and a godly virtue of those who seek to be conformed to His image.
Our God is a God who is "ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, SLOW TO ANGER, and of great kindness" (Nehemiah 9:17).
"The Lord is merciful and gracious, SLOW TO ANGER, and plenteous in mercy" (Psalm 103:8).
"Turn unto the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, SLOW TO ANGER, and of great kindness" (Joel 2:13).
"The Lord is SLOW TO ANGER, and great in power" (Nahum 1:3).
The Word speaks to us in James 1:19, 20: "Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, SLOW TO WRATH: for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God."
In the Wild West, a man was famous if he could draw his pistol like a streak of lightning, although he could shoot more accurately if he could calm himself down. However, as far as anger goes, it is better to both be slow on the draw and also keep your spirit calm at all times.
Be encouraged.
Colin Campbell

To build a bridge in Northern Ky. quickly, coalition is first trying to sell the funding
The Build Our New Bridge Now coalition took its pitch to business leaders this week, urging them to get on board with a public-private partnership approach toward funding a new bridge — even if that means tolls.
Leaders of the coalition addressed the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce's Issues 'n Eggs breakfast Tuesday. Their overarching point was that the privatized funding, coupled with government dollars would be the fastest way to start construction — potentially by 2015. The sooner it's built, the sooner the region will see economic benefits.
A more than $2 billion bridge has been proposed to alleviate traffic pressure from the Brent Spence Bridge that carries I-75 and I-71 across the Ohio River to Cincinnati.
They have pointed to the two new bridges in Louisville, which will be partially funded with toll revenue.
But not everyone in Northern Kentucky is sold on the concept. Here's a look at the latest round of arguments:

Thousands of car owners fail MOT tests because their vehicles are filthy, full of clutter or lack screen-wash, a new survey has found.
According to the Whatcar research, test centres are also failing vehicles because they have windscreen stickers that obscure the view from the driver's seat, while some cars fail to pass because they are without any number plates.
There were 285,000 MOT test failures between August 2012 and last August, some 4,649 of which were put down to vehicles not being topped up with enough screen-wash.
Another 2,852 vehicles failed because of dirt or clutter, 1,055 did not pass because of stickers on their windscreens, and 114 failures were because vehicles had no number plates.
Of the total number of failures, 10,753 or 4% were first tests.
As they typically cost around £45, Whatcar estimates that car owners wasted £480,000 on failed first tests, adding to the costs of motoring.
RAC spokesman Simon Williams said: "If your vehicle is due for an MOT test there are a few simple checks and fixes you can carry out yourself to reduce the chances of it failing and incurring extra expense.
"We recommend anyone who needs to get an MOT on their vehicle spends some time in advance checking that tyres are in good condition, with more than 1.6mm of tread, that indicators, headlights and brake lights are all working properly, that the windscreen is not damaged in any way, and that wipers are in good order.
"Horns also have to be working, and you can even fail an MOT for not having any screen-wash or your number plate not being clearly visible.
He added: "Why not take a look at our MOT test checklist and advice by visiting https://www.racshop.co.uk/mot-check/mot-test-checklist-advice.html."

8th Annual Thanksgiving Hot Lunch
The Senior class of 2015 presided over a Midland Thanksgiving Hot Lunch on Monday. Parents, grandparents, and friends joined the students for the special event prepared by Mrs. Fairchild. The plated dinner included vegetarian turkey & dressing casserole, mashed potatoes & gravy, green beans, corn, dinner roll, pumpkin pie, and a drink.
Over 200 folks attended the festivities and enjoyed both the food and the program presented by the elementary students. So how much food does it take to feed that many people? Well... glad you asked. How about 105 pounds of potatoes, 15-20 pounds of stuffing breadcrumbs, 120 pounds of corn and green beans, dozens and dozens of eggs, 40 stalks of celery (all hand-chopped!), 10-15 pounds of vegetarian turkey, 24 dozen dinner rolls, and 21 pumpkin pies?
KC Youth Rally
Midland hosted the annual KC Youth Rally this past weekend, with guest speaker Jonathan Leonardo. "Our Kansas City Youth Rally this past weekend was a tremendous blessing to me," says Pastor Tim Floyd. "The music by No Trace of Earth set the worship atmosphere for our speaker Jonathan Leonardo to present some deep theological concepts in such a way that our young people were able to learn and grow. I came away from the weekend blessed, refreshed and challenged to build Christ's kingdom in the areas I have an influence." (thanks to the Cutting Edge for the story and pics).
