Quaker Heritage Center Presenting 'Bridges of Friendship' Exhibit
Display of Children's Dolls and Books to Be Held Concurrent with Isaac Harvey Fund's 'We Travel to Learn' Exhibit
May 7, 2013
Pictured are some of the dolls in the Quaker Heritage Center's "Bridges of Friendship" exhibit.
The Meriam R. Hare Quaker Heritage Center at Wilmington College is hosting a display of dolls and books titled "Bridges of Friendship: How Children Learn about Other Cultures" through December.
The exhibit will be held concurrent with images highlighting the work of the Isaac Harvey Fund, titled "We Travel to Learn," which runs through Aug. 5.
The Isaac Harvey Fund has assisted Wilmington College students and faculty in traveling abroad and within the U.S. on trips related to the concerns of Quakers – mainly peace and social justice.
QHC curator Ruth Brindle Dobyns said one of the many ways in which children learn about other cultures is through play.
"The dolls and books on display here are all part of the collections of the Quaker Heritage Center that have helped generations of children explore the daily life, traditions, games and history of groups of people around the world," she said, noting the exhibit is a "small revival" of the "Bridges of Friendship" exhibit the QHC hosted in 2010.
The Quaker Heritage Center gallery is open weekdays, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and through special arrangements made with the curator. Extended gallery hours will be available May 11, from noon to 5 p.m.; June 8, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.; July 18 and 19, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.; July 20, 7 to 9 p.m.,; Aug. 1 and 2, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.; and Aug. 3, from noon to 5 p.m.

Notable (and Hilarious) Examples of the Christian Right's Failed Prophecies
Photo Credit: © BortN66/Shutterstock.com
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
The Christian right in America, like all organized religions, claims to have a correct and exclusive understanding of God's will. To hear them tell it, the almighty creator of the universe has strong opinions about corporate tax rates, firearm ownership and what consenting adults do with their genitals, and he's delegated them to speak on his behalf.
But if they want us to believe they have this authority, it seems only fair to consider their track record. After all, the Bible itself tells how to identify false prophets, saying that if they're not really speaking for God, their predictions won't come true -- a very sensible test!
It's a test that the American religious right should be worried about, because their history, to put it politely, doesn't inspire confidence. Many of the most powerful and influential members of their movement, including presidential candidates, media moguls and the founders of churches, have repeatedly claimed to have God-given visions of the future that proved to be completely and utterly wrong. Here are some of the more notable (and hilarious) examples of their prophetic blunders.
Failed doomsday predictions
The world-renowned Harold Camping was just the latest in a long line of Christian preachers who've made a profitable career out of erroneously predicting the apocalypse. If anything, Camping was only unusual in that he admitted his blunder after falling flat on his face (although he didn't offer to refund any of his followers who spent their life savings on spreading his message).
Other prominent Christian sects that have gotten it wrong are still around, in some cases recycling decades-old predictions as if they were brand-new. The Jehovah's Witnesses made a habit of erroneously predicting the apocalypse throughout the 20th century. One of their founders, J.F. Rutherford, wrote a book in 1920 called Millions Now Living Will Never Die , in which he claimed among other things that the patriarchs of Israel would be resurrected from the dead by the year 1925.
A little more recently, there was Hal Lindsay, author of such '70s-era classics as The Late Great Planet Earth and The 1980s: Countdown to Armageddon . Along the same lines, a Christian author named Edgar Whisenant wrote a popular book called 88 Reasons Why the Rapture Could Be in 1988 . Whisenant's book was influential: most infamously, Paul and Jan Crouch's Trinity Broadcast Network preempted their regular programming on Rosh Hashanah in 1988 to run a prerecorded tape of instructions for those who'd been left behind by the Rapture.
To be fair, when it comes to end-of-the-world hysteria, it's not just devotees of the Rapture and the Antichrist who've dropped the ball, so to speak. You probably remember that last year, the supposedly significant date of December 21, 2012 saw a surge of excitement and dread among New Age devotees, many of whom flocked to holy sites all around the world in the hopes of surviving whatever they believed was going to happen. (My favorite story was about the mountain of Bugarach in rural southern France: pilgrims believed that there were alien ships hiding out underneath, biding their time until Doomsday when they'd emerge and whisk people away from the planet.)
Pat Robertson's dubious prognostications
Pat Robertson, the one-time GOP presidential candidate and religious-right media mogul, has repeatedly tried to predict the future, with roughly the same accuracy as a dart-throwing monkey.
In 1980, Robertson predicted the start of World War III, telling his audience that God said the year would be full of "sorrow and bloodshed that will have no end soon, for the world is being torn apart, and my kingdom shall rise from the ruins of it." ( source)

Vehicle Input
Caster/Camber Plates
- Improves front tire traction and wear by increasing tire contact patch during cornering
- Heavy duty construction for ultimate durability during competition and street use
- Direct bolt in. Does not require vehicle modification
Hotchkis Camber and Camber/Caster Plates offer a significant range of alignment adjustment, far surpassing factory settings, therefore resulting in vastly increase handling balance and grip. This camber adjustment keeps the front tires flat on the road during aggressive cornering. Also allows for correction of excessive camber resulting from significant vehicle lowering or for increased camber for competition applications.
Camber For Traction
Camber is the angle of the wheel/tire, measured in degrees, when viewed from the front of the vehicle. When the top of the wheel is leaning out from the center of the car, away from the engine, then the camber is positive, if it's leaning in, then the camber is negative.
For general street driving, if the camber is too far negative, caused by excessively low coil springs combined with limited stock camber adjustment, then the tire will wear excessively on the inside. Conversely, extreme handling situations such as autocross events or track days require over 2.5 degrees of negative camber on the front tires.
Camber Links
- Ideal for Lowered Vehicles
- CNC Machined
- 6061-T6 Aluminum and Laser Cut Steel TIG Welded Construction
- Greasable Urethane Bushings
Hotchkis Camber Links offer a wide range of adjustability from zero degrees to beyond 3 degrees negative in most applications. They are constructed to be easily adjustable to conquer any street or track.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE14 November 2008
North Augusta bookkeeper arrested on tax charges
The operator for a North Augusta accounting and tax service was arrested by South Carolina Department of Revenue investigators today and charged with multiple counts of preparing fraudulent tax returns and failing to pay state withholding taxes.
Debra G. Solesbee, 55, an accountant and tax preparer for Advanced Accounting and Tax Services, Inc., is being held at the Aiken County Detention Center pending a bond hearing. She is charged with 15 counts of preparing fraudulent income tax returns and two counts of failing to pay state withholding tax. She is facing up to five years in prison on each of the 17 counts if convicted.
Solesbee, a resident of Edgefield, is accused of falsifying business miles and employee business expenses of $176,226 on tax returns she prepared for her clients in 2006 and 2007. She also is accused of failing to submit to the Department of Revenue $4,062 in taxes withheld from her wages and wages of her employees.
The revenue department's investigation showed Solesbee's clients were unaware of the fraudulent claims on their returns and no further arrests are expected. The investigation is ongoing, however, and other charges could be pending against Solesbee.

'We need to finish this,' Brizard says of teacher contract talks
BY ROSALIND ROSSI AND LAUREN FITZPATRICK Staff Reporters September 3, 2012 10:56AM
Jean-Claude Brizard arrives at Roberto Clemente Academy on the first day of school Tuesday, Sept. 4, 2012. | Brian Jackson~Sun-Times
Article Extras

Updated: October 5, 2012 6:10AM
Schools CEO Jean-Claude Brizard Tuesday kicked off a long-awaited longer day systemwide by saying teacher contract talks were making progress but ``we need to finish this.``
Facing a Sep. 10 teacher strike date, Brizard said "We're making steady progess but at the same time we need to finish this. The stress on families is tremendous–parents and children, Brizard said before ringing the school bell at Clemente High School.
In Mount Greenwood, Becky Malone has sharpened the required 50 No. 2 pencils for her second-grader and folded the new gym uniform for her fourth-grader — just a small part of her long list of back-to-school supplies and tasks.
Her two boys are excited about school; Malone is anxious.
"The threat of a strike looms over everyone,'' Malone said last week. "That's been all the talk among parents. . . . There's so much up in the air. That's what's disconcerting.''
At Chicago Public School headquarters, officials were still piecing together a contingency plan, cleared for a price tag of up to $25 million, that would offer students shelter, food and a half-day of activities at 145 schools in the event of the city's first teachers strike in 25 years. It also opens the prospect that parents and kids would have to cross picket lines to access such schools.
If teachers strike on Sept. 10 as scheduled, CTU spokeswoman Stephanie Gadlin said, teachers would walk picket lines in front of the buildings where they once worked and try to leaflet parents about their cause "so they will know what we're fighting for.''
Talks that have festered since November continued over the Labor Day weekend.
If enough progress is made by the second day of school, the CTU's House of Delegates, at its monthly meeting that day, could delay or retract the Sept. 10 strike date it set unanimously last week.
Hanging in the balance is the beginning of an ambitious school year.
Students will finally enjoy the longer day and year that became a cornerstone of Emanuel's mayoral campaign. Recess — absent for decades in most CPS elementary schools — will be mandatory.
Teachers will begin teaching a tougher curriculum tied to a more rigorous "common core.'' Some of them will face evaluations that will base part of their rating on growth in two student tests — a point of contention with teachers.
Five STEM high schools will open their doors to a new focus on science, technology, engineering and math. Their six-year curriculum, designed with help from some of the city's technology firm giants, will carry associates degrees and a "first crack'' at technology jobs for successful students. Emanuel got the idea for the schools from New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Despite the tense start to the new school year, Matuso Marti says he feels "truly blessed'' to be principal of the $81 million Sarah E. Goode STEM High School at 7651 S. Homan — the only STEM school to be newly constructed.
It's modeled on a school created with help from IBM in New York. Goode partnered with IBM in Chicago to create a curriculum that ensures graduates will be ready for careers including jobs at IBM.
But if the two sides cannot resolve talks on a teachers contract that expired in June, the first four days of school could become "a thrown-away week," said Barbara Radner, of DePaul University's Center for Urban Education.
If teachers are out more than a few days, learning could be interrupted to the point that returning teachers would have to go backward and re-teach in a year that was supposed to be distinguished by more time in school.
"To do a retreat means we have to start over, and we can't afford to start over. We need to start and stay on the course," Radner said.
"With all the new [initiatives] — the common core, teacher evaluations — to shut down this trajectory is like a failed mission to Mars.''

Just some work on coordination is all that's needed. OS is easy peasy. Our guild is gonna try for 1 drake up next time we run it.
Am I geared enough to tank naxx 25? That's my last question.
Heroes' Dreadnaught Breastplate - Item - World of Warcraft for your chest.
Bracers of the Herald - Item - World of Warcraft for your bracers
Platinum Mesh Cloak - Item - World of Warcraft as soon as you get Valor Badges to buy it this should be your first upgrade from those.
Other then those few suggestions for your gear you should be fine tanking Naxx 25. Patchwerk and maybe a few other hard hitting fights you may struggle with but overall it shouldnt be a major problem.
You shouldn't have any problem in Naxx25 either. Just keep working on getting upgrades where possible and it'll get easier each week.
As Nael said, when Wrath first came out I (and i'm sure many remember this too) was tanking Naxx25 with about 22-23k unbuffed HP with 16 defense gems in almost every socket to hit 540. Albeit I wouldn't recommend it, but it's certainly possible.
i would advise against farming emblems of heroism for gear at this point. with 3.2 looming on the horizon, i would do any heroics with drops for you, but then hold the emblems to convert to epic gems after 3.2 hits....then go pound heroics for t8.5 chest/helm.
just my two cents. I like gold =)
I was the lonely voice on my server who simply wanted to know: When Michael Jackson died....did he drop any good loot?
Hi guys,
seeing as though my gear and situation is so similar to the OP's, i will just ask my questions in this thread.
my armory - The World of Warcraft Armory
I am not sure if i can do anything else before raiding naxx 10/25, which it is hard to get into a group or find a raid to do them with.
At the moment I have 4 emblem of conquest, 17 heroism and 22 valor.
I know that I am sitting under the defense cap, i won't be tanking and raids until I hit it again (i have been mixing my gear up all day), but it just seems difficult.
I understand the cloak I have now is a druid cloak, and that the epic BOE's look bad to people who inspect me before runs, but i am not sure how else i can upgrade. I want to replace the shield with the COT one, but i will lose quite a chunk of defense. I could farm for the HOL trinket for the nth time, but i have no idea what i would replace.
I have offtanked 25 man naxx successfully and tanked 25 man VoA just fine today, but i don't seem to get a look in with anything else. I'll keep doing my heroics everyday to farm badges, but would just like some additional help.

I'd say the best thing for you to do is just keep picking up some naxx 25 gear. I know I can MT naxx 25 (I've done it after I tweaked my gear a bit thx to the advice here). So just keep at it, and progress.

OWENSBORO, Ky. (3/7/14) — A celebration of art by Owensboro and regional Kentucky artists will open at the Owensboro Museum of Fine Art, Saturday March 8, with a preview and reception for artists from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The public is invited to attend.
Sponsored by BB&T, the exhibition is designed to showcase the accomplishments of local and regional artists featured in the Owensboro Art Guild's 52nd Annual Juried Exhibition.
The Guild's adjudicated show continues a tradition established in the early 1960's when the organization for local artists was formed to advance the quality of local art and to function as an advocacy group for the visual arts in the community.
According to OAG President John A. Medley, Jr., "The Guild's 2014 competition for regional artists working in two-and three-dimensional media, will award merit and purchase awards of more than $3,500."
Juror for the exhibition was Kentucky's nationally prominent painter, Gary Akers, AWS, who selected the exhibition from 99 entries and designated merit awards. Purchase awards were selected by donors. The award-winning entries will be announced at the March 8 preview.
A Union, Kentucky native and a widely recognized realist artist, Akers has been painting in Maine every summer since he received an international grant in 1975 from the Greenshields Foundation of Montreal, Canada to further his egg tempera work and studies. His depictions of that region capture the ocean, rural landscapes, lighthouses and other subject matter reflecting the northeast coast of the United States. A large body of his work documents nostalgic life in rural Kentucky.
The exhibition will continue through April 25 and will be open during regular museum hours: Tuesday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Friday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, 1 to 4 p.m.
Admission to the museum is free (although voluntary donations are suggested of $2 for adults and $1 for children).
Access for physically challenged individuals is provided at the Atrium entrance in the 9th Street parking lot.For more information, phone (270) 685-3181, visit the museum's website at www.omfa.us, or follow OMFA on Facebook and Twitter.

Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft this is the grandfather of action/adventure games, worthy of inclusion in JA's Hall of Fame
Written by

Developed by
Published by
I-Motion (N. America),Infogrames (Europe)
Mac, Windows, Other
Release Date: 1992Platform: Macintosh, PSX, DOS, PC/WindowsNote: Originally published in 1999Seven years have passed, and I'm willing to wager that I am not the only one who still gets a tingle at the sight of Alone in the Dark screenshots. There is not a soul who has played this game who can honestly admit that they did not jump out of their seat the first time the flying beast crashed through the window in the bedroom or who cannot still visually picture the shuffling zombies with their outstretched decaying arms.This was the game that broke all of the rules--action intermingled with adventure, inventory-based puzzles combined with combat and camera angles as carefully story-boarded as any classic Alfred Hitchcock film. Certain puzzles even let the player decide between brain or brawn for the solution. If Alone in the Dark had not been a success, there may not exist today a Resident Evil series, much less the survival horror or action/adventure genre.This grandfather of action/adventure games was inspired by the writings of H.P. Lovecraft--most notably The Cthulhu Mythos--and is a chilling 3D exploration into a macabre 1920s Louisiana mansion named Derceto. Jeremy Hartwood, Derceto's owner, has been driven to suicide by a mysterious presence in the old house. Playing as either Emily Hartwood, Jeremy's niece, or Edward Carnby, a supernatural private eye, it is your task to discover if the presence that drove Jeremy Hartwood insane was real or imagined.The game is story-driven, and as you delve deeper into the bowels of the mansion you will discover that Hell can exist outside of one's imagination.Alone in the Dark inspired two sequels, both starring Edward Carnby, and a unique, very short "special episode" entitledJack in the Dark that takes place during Christmas. Both sequels are excellent games in their own right; AITD2 has Carnby face off against pirates and bootleggers as he attempts to save a kidnapped eight-year-old girl, and AITD3 puts Carnby in a haunted Western ghost town named Slaughter Gulch, but it remains the groundbreaking black magic of the first Alone in the Dark that still has a firm grasp on the darkest corner of every adventure gamer's heart.System Requirements: PC: 386 4 MB RAM 1X CD-ROM VGA with 512 K Sound board DOS 6.2 Macintosh: 68040 microprocessor (minimum) 256-color display 3500k free memory System 7.0 or later Hard disk with 13 MB free disk space required Doublespeed (or faster) CD-ROM drive Quicktime 2.0 required

MI. GIT is too close to CW and overhyped.
MI, it just smells better to me.
Close call but I would go with GIT because I feel it has a more year round versatility. And I'm even wearing MI today!!
M-I. Footbridge to heaven!
GIT simply because it smells better than MI IMO.
see the title of my post, I replied there to match the formatting of the original post.

Anyone know how the current fragrancenet batches of MI are?
I agree MI is the closest fragrance to perfection there is. Not gonna mention longevity or sillage as thats been addressed. But smell wise it has no imperfections
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
MI, because it's the best smelling fragrance I've found so far.
GIT because it will last longer on you and you dont have to carry an atomizer everywhere you go
They both smell nice to me.. but I think I prefer MI a bit more. It's grown on me a lot.
It's MI for me for that luscious watermelon coupled with the scent of the ocean aroma. It also has a golden creamy opulence about it like they have captured sunshine in a bottle. It is warm and light and has this alluring sexyness to its character. Love the stuff!
Love MI, but I choose GIT absolutely, it's simply a classic, versatile, timeless, refined and special fragrance.
Kurt smells like Teen Spirit
GIT - because it is far superior to MI

Much as I enjoy MI, especially in the summer months, I would go with GIT if I had to make that choice. It has superior longevity and can be worn in a wider variety of settings.

can't go wrong with either
maybe make judgement based on longevity/projection
Both are quality scents. However, I would go with Green Irish Tweed, only because I can foresee wearing it more often throughout the year.
Not even close for me....GIT by miles!!! I really wish I could get what others seem to get from MI....but, all I get is a faint melon in the beginning, followed almost immediately by SALT, SALT & oh yeah, more SALT. Plus, it's a "chemical" smelling salt to me, so I just don't understand what makes it so good. Really makes me wonder if my sample spoiled or was from a really bad batch or something. I guess I should try a different sample before I completely write it off, since so many people seem to love it and claim it's one of the best fragrances ever....otherwise, I'm really missing something here...
Everyone and his dog is now wearing GIT.
GIT because I feel I can wear it at ANY time and any place, while I find MI to be more of a scent for summer / warmer weather - and HA-HA we have pretty much NOTHING of that in Norway.
They're bot AMAZING though, and I own and love both.
I would go with GIT between the two (although I prefer Bond's Chez Bond over GIT). But as far as Creed, I know it's not a choice, but give me Aventus over GIT or MI any day.
GIT - my kind of freshnes... ( those who speak about cool water and git like the same pair of shoes are those who don't get difference bet. initial blast and whole whay what u get with GIT )...
MI - is interesting but dull , two times GIT 0 times MI ....in my case.
Why indeed?
Because I'd be a newbie who had never smelled Sélection Verte or Cyprès-Musc, Bois du Portugal or Epicea instead of GIT (and good luck finding SV on eBay--or from a seller here.)
For that matter, though none of the following smell like MI, I doubt I'd ever have smelled other Creeds like Royal English Leather, Acier Aluminium, "Vintage" Tabarome--or even the readily available Himalaya or Erolfa.
(Or even Aventus??)
this is meant as encouragement to explore the not so well advertised scents for men from the house of Creed, not condemnation in buying two of their pop frags which have been advertised like crazy and discussed on threads like these many times before.
May I humbly suggest you look up the reviews on the "rare ones" I've mentioned and, if you don't live in a large metropolitan area, order a tester from somewhere, should any of the reviews sound intriguing
-- And of course, decide for yourself.

GIT is more versatile and smells better
Yes, I agree. GIT is a lot more versatile and can be worn all year.
GIT anytime/everytime.
Green Irish Tweed. Smells better and is more versatile than Millesime Imperial (to me). Also, it actually lasts more than a few hours.
GIT, I own and enjoy both immensely. But GIT is a fragrance for all seasons, and trumps Mi in the longevity department. So if you have to choose, go GIT.
Tough. IMO MI has more of a wow factor and should get more complements. GIT is more masculine imo.
I choose GIT, MI has more WOW factor, but you need to worry about 'Creed Notorious Batch Variation' and its longvity is tragic compare to GIT.

------- Hermèssence: Ambre Narguilé
Green Irish Tweed - a classic, smells like confidence, more versatile, any season, takes you from the gym to the office to a night out, better for dress up occasions.
MI. Both smell good, but MI is quite magical in its composition. Just the right balance of melon and salt, wears nice and transparently, and very refreshing in the summer. The drydown of GIT is great too, and it is a more versatile scent, but I just don't feel the need to own a whole bottle.
I'd pick MI because it has a sunny day optimism about it. But, really, you can't go wrong either way. If you truly can't decide (and, hey, we all know that feeling) try wearing a spray of MI on one arm and GIT on the other. Then, all you have to do is follow your nose. It'll know.

GIT because of its superior versatility.

For me, the answer is MI hands-down. Couldn't use GIT all the time, especially in the summer. MI has a feel-good vibe to it and the opening fruit (at least in my batch) is out of this world.
I understand though that the two dry-down to a similar sandalwood-ambergris base, so I can see why this comparison is being made.
A lot of good posts in this thread.
Both of these smell great and are pleasant to others around you.
GIT is more versatile and can be worn anytime of the year to Work, Church, Dinner, or while driving an M1 Abrams tank. GIT also has much better longevity.
MI smells amazing, but is more casual and feminine smelling to me. MI also seems to project like crazy for about an hour and then falls off the cliff. You will need to carry a small atomizer to reapply throughout the day. MI is awesome in spring or summer.
GIT is better. MI is very nice as well.
GIT. Absolutely.
MI gets more use in my house, because my wife wears it as well. I really like GIT but wish it projected more and lasted longer for the price.

Force India's Nico Hulkenberg posted the fastest time on the first day of the second pre-season test in Bahrain on Wednesday.
The German posted a time of 1.36.880 on the Sakhir track, 0.999s faster than Ferrari's Fernando Alonso in second.
Lewis Hamilton was another couple of tenths further behind in third, with Kevin Magnusen in fourth, 1.415 seconds slower than Hulkenberg's time.
Sebastian Vettel was in fifth, but his best time was almost two seconds slower than the Dane's best, the reigning World Champion posting a 1:40.224.
Adrian's Sutil's Sauber was sixth, a couple of tenths slower than Vettel, while Robin Frijns, Daniel Kvyat and Romain Grosjean were the only others to post a time.
In the morning session, Magnussen set the pace, beating the Hamilton's initial time by two tenths of a second.
At that point, Mercedes-powered cars locked out the top three places after Hulkenberg posted the third best time.
Grosjean handed the Lotus E22 its public debut, but completed only seven laps before as software and battery problems put an end to his day. Furthermore, the Frenchman was out-paced by the Caterham of Frijns, who had a much longer run and completed 26 laps.
The problems continued for the Renault-powered cars, though.
The Toro Rosso suffered an oil leak, which prevented new signing Kvyat from recording a lap in the morning, while the Red Bull kept its RB10 behind closed doors.
When Vettel eventually did come onto the track - with less than an hour remaining in the afternoon session - he was only able to complete 14 laps.
Alonso was responsible for the day's first red flag when a ''fuel mix' problem in the pits left the area billowed in smoke.
The Ferrari was fourth fastest, though, just over a second faster than Sutil, who also brought out the red flags when he spun at the first turn.
Marussia's Jules Bianchi and Felipe Massa in the Williams only completed a couple of installation laps in the morning, which was delayed by 30 minutes when confusion arose over how many marshals was needed at the track.
1. Nico Hulkenberg (Force India) 1:36.880
2. Fernando Alonso (Ferrari) 1:37.879
3. Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) 1:37.908
4. Kevin Magnussen (McLaren) 1:38.295
5. Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull) 1:40.224
6. Adrian Sutil (Sauber) 1:40.443
7. Robin Frijns (Caterham) 1:42.534
8. Daniel Kvyat (Toro Rosso) 1:44.346
9 Romain Grosjean (Lotus) 1:44.832
10 Felipe Massa (Williams) No Time
11 Jules Bianchi (Marussia) No Time

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Jillian!
Facts about Jillian
- Breed: Labrador Retriever/Dalmatian Mix
- Color: White - With Black
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Jillian's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Jillian was born in Jan of 2012. She is so very sweet and humble . She would fit in well with any household. Her adoption fee is 350. For more info or an application please email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 828 433 1115 and ask for Teddi. Please be sure to read our shelters info page to better understand our adoption process
Other Pets at Friends for Animals
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jillian, a Hagerstown Labrador Retriever/Dalmatian dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Dalmatian for sale in Hagerstown, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Dalmatian dog from a breeder in Hagerstown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Hagerstown already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Hagerstown breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever/Dalmatian breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Dalmatian rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Hagerstown paves the way for another one to be saved.

Arabic Studies
Ahlan wa-sahlan.
Welcome to Arabic at Hunter College. Here at Hunter we teach the Arabic that is used on a daily basis by more than two hundred million people, from Morocco in the West of the Arab World to Oman in the East. Arabic can broadly be divided into local spoken dialects and fusha, "the eloquent language." The former is the spoken language of everyday life and the latter is the language of the media and academia and formal occasions. Its contemporary version is sometimes called "Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)." To as great an extent as possible we teach our students to speak spoken Arabic and to read, write, and understand MSA. The dialect that we focus on is the one spoken in Egypt, the most widely spoken and understood dialect in the Arab World. We teach both spoken Arabic and MSA via a communicative approach. In other words, instead of focusing on the translation of written texts, we teach our students how to read, speak, write and aurally comprehend the language as it is actually used by native speakers, using authentic texts whenever possible.
At Hunter we firmly believe in the bond between language and culture. Thus we always strive to expose students to the cultural side of the Arab world in our language classes, in extracurricular activities, and in culture courses offered in English. We like to consider culture a fifth skill in addition to the four mentioned above. Outside of the Arab World itself, New York is arguably the best place to be for exposure to Arab culture. We keep our students abreast of local cultural and academic events related to Arabic or the Arab World. At Hunter we hold weekly Arabic hours (Wednesdays from 1:10 to 3) where students can practice their spoken Arabic and get help with their homework. We also offer a number of cultural events in conjunction with the student-run Middle East Studies Club.
The successful completion of 4 semesters of Arabic at Hunter or the equivalent fulfills Hunter College's language requirement. The Head of the Arabic Program can also test students who feel they have the equivalent amount of Arabic and would like to be exempt from the language requirement.
For more information on the Arabic program at Hunter please contact Professor Christopher Stone (1303 Hunter West) at 212-650-3138 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you are looking for information on the Arabic program at Hunter between January 2013 and January 2014, please contact Professor Alex Elinson (1304 Hunter West) at (212) 772-5044 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Take their quotes in writing - their word doesn't mean match
Posted by
RICHMOND, CALIFORNIA -- I got a quote for the brake job from my KIA dealer to do it at the same time as 60K service, but the price was a bit higher than I hoped for. I called around for a few quotes, and Davin at the Big O #5008 gave me a quote for under $300 assuming the rotors do not need replacement. The price was very attractive and I asked him if it included all four wheels. He confirmed that quote and unfortunately I did not asked him for written quote.
Imagine how surprised I was when the bill came to over $450 and when I confronted Davin he said that misunderstood him and the quote he gave me was for front wheels only. When I complained he said that if I don't pay what what he charged, he'll impound the car.
I should have known that I am not dealing with an honest man by the way he stiffed on-line company that recommended him - TireRack.com.

Lost My Front End
Posted by
ESTES -- I took my car to Big O for regular maintenance/oil change, new tires and an alignment. I took off on vacation the next day. Get out on the highway and my front right wheel felt as though it was going to fall off, the front of the car was shaking violently. I slow down and the shimmy goes away. Speed up again, it's back. I decide to see my new grand child anyway, I'll just drive a little slower.
I take the car back, tell them what happened and ask that they look into it when they do my maintenance, they drive the car around, tell me it's ready and I ask if the front end has been fixed, and I am told that they can't find anything wrong.
A few weeks later, maybe 4,I drive over railroad tracks and the front end of my car comes apart. Ordinarily this is a very busy street, but it was empty when the car came to a sudden grnding halt! Both of my front wheels are turned out, in opposite directions.
Big O claims that the part that came loose, a bolt on the control arm, is something that they are not responsible for because they had no reason to ever touch it. I ask them why then, did the shimmy shake start when they out on my new tires and did my alignment. They said it was who ever was last to work on the car. I reiterated the point that they were the only people to touch my car and I had specifically asked them to fix it. They pretty much admitted that they never even checked it whe they told me the car was OK.
I pretty much had to let them put it back together, it was up on the rack and unmovable, undrivable. They said all they'd help me with is labor bot I had to parts and towing, because my description of what happened was in laymens terms, I said the whell fell off, but technically it was still somewhat connected.

I'm not trying to be a smart ass but picturing your front tires falling out is a bit amusing in my head. I'm sure it was not amusing to you. It sounds to me like they are screwing you over. I don't know why you keep taking it back to them. You should take it to someone else.
TaraLuna on 11/27/2010:
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT, I SHOULD HAVE GONE SOMEWHARE ELSE, BUT I HAD HOPED THAT THEY WOULD FIX THEIR MISTAKE. nOW I AM SURE THAT THESE FOLKS ARE DISHONEST AND SLOPPY. wANTED TO GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO REDEEM THEIR REPUTATION.

I don't think they can redem a bad reputation. Hope you found a reputable place that helped you.

Blown Motor

Sleepless outside Seattle
PUYALLUP, WASHINGTON -- I was due for my usual oil change and received a coupon in the mail. Since I normally took my car to Toyota for ~$56, I decided to use the coupon for Big O Tires and get my oil change for $17.99. My oil was changed and two days later we were on the road. I am a travel nurse and we were headed back home to Cincinnati, Ohio from Puyallup, WA. We turned in our apt keys, loaded the car with all of our belongings and as soon as we were on the road, there was a knock! Many loud knocks, the oil light came on, and the engine shut off! We pulled off at the next exit and a tech from Big O tires came out to look at the car. The oil filter had fallen off and all of the oil had leaked out! He filled the car with oil and we drove back to the shop. The car knocked loudly the whole drive back! After a couple of guys looked at the car, they realized the car was shot! Now, here is the fun part..... We have all of our stuff packed in the back of the car and nowhere to stay! I am furious by this time because not one person has apologized to us and no one is trying to help us figure out where we are supposed to stay tonight! The attitude of the manager was flat and not sympathetic. So here we are day 2, sleeping in a hotel. I called today around 3:45, since no one had called me today to find out about my car that they said they were going to fix.
They had originally said it would be ready on Monday and they we going to put a new motor in it. Instead, now it isn't going to be until Tuesday and they are rebuilding it, not dropping a new motor in it! This is so crazy! They blow up my car, ruin my car and not one "I'm sorry" or any compensation! Oh yeah, they got us a rental.... a Dodge Stratus that was dirty with cigarette burns in the seats!
Thanks guys!

dan gordon on 01/03/2009:
they are working with you where some oil change places would have blown you off. The same things happened to me at a Goodyear. I was lucky as the oil filter had a known problem for the yr car I drove. The insurance would only give me an allowance for a motor with over 60k miles on it, and not a 'new' motor. If they are offering to rebuild your engine with no deduction for the miles it had on it, you will be in a better position than what you had before. I know your upset but they are doing more than most dealers would have so I'd hold my tongue till you get the car back.
Anonymous on 01/03/2009:
I agree with dan gordon. Most oil change places would have just refilled the crankcase and sent you out the door or at worst blamed you for the engine damage.
Anonymous on 01/03/2009:
I agree with dan too. They seem to be working on repairing their mistake and they did give you a loaner. It's an inconvenience, sure, but look at the bright side....
You wanted to save 38 bucks on your oil change, and you did!

Negligent Brake Service
Posted by
I am submitting this form concerning the negligent brake work that was performed on my Honda Accord by Big O Tires. I am very upset by the negligence of their work.
I brought my Honda to Big O Tires in Oroville on 11/10/03 for new brakes. Since that time I have only driven 24,000 miles. I was informed that a total brake job was done, which was not the case what-so-ever. This week my brakes started making a terrible noise so I took it to Big O Tires here in Oroville. I was told that apparently someone had done some brake work on my car and they couldnât get the rotors off so they were ground off and then pressed back on. On top of this only one rotor was replaced - no new brake pads were put on. I was told that you never just replace one rotor you replace both of them. I know nothing about the repair of cars. I was told by Big O Tires that a total brake job was done and I took them at their word. I informed the man at Big O Tires that the work was done by Big O Tires and he verified it on the computer. I also told the man when I take my car to a service center to be serviced I trust that they know what they are doing. Apparently they did not know what they were doing. Consequently the inferior work performed by Big O Tires has resulted in both my right front axle and my left front axle being ruined. You donât grind the rotors off when you canât get them off. If they couldnât do the job they should have let me know. When I take my car to an Auto Service Establishment I should be able to trust that they know what they are doing. This is not the case with Big O Tires. Your work is very inferior. Now what has been a very good car has just been ruined. When I picked my auto up they didnât even bother to tell me that they couldnât do the job I was paying for.
On top of all of this I purchased 60,000 mile tires from Big O just 30,000 miles ago and they also inform me I should replace all 4 tires. I believe that the wearing out of my tires so soon is because that what they did ruined my axles. My tires have been properly maintained.
Big O Tires needs to stand behind the work they perform. Brakes do not go out after just 24,000 miles. Les Schwab guarantees their brake work for 25,000 miles parts and labor. The only satisfaction I receive at Big O Tires is for them to shrug their shoulders at me and the man told me he wasnât there when the work was done. And to charge me $45.00 for a brake inspection to inspect the work that was not even properly done in the first place. I want the $45.00 refunded to me. The only reason that my brakes went out and my axles were ruined after only 24,000 miles is the inferior work done by Big O Tires. It was still Big O Tires that did the work and they should stand behind the work When they a turning out inferior work that should have no bearing on the warranty.
Now I have to face paying out from $1200 - $1600 to get my Honda back in running condition. On top of this I am going to have to rent an auto while I am getting this resolved so that I can conduct my business. More money out of my pocket because of Big Oâs inferior work.
I certainly do not conduct my business this way. I will never recommend Big O Tires to anyone.

The man may have just shrugged his shoulders, but you have a good "case" here. Even the store verifies you had the job done there and are still in warranty. I would present them with your damage quote as well as completing the job correctly. If the manager shrugs it off this time, go to HQ. Keep at them. They scrwed up and need to fix it
Starlord on 07/12/2007:
I worked at a brake and muffler shop at one point in my life and have never heard of grinding off a rotor. How does one do that? I would be very suspicious of the second evaluation, what, Les Schwab??? Number 1 is the rotor grinding off, number 2 is no pads. No, Big O is better than that. I think this Schwab character is blowing smoke up your.....nose. If, indeed, there have been only that many miles, the job is under warranty. I would suggest you take it back and give them the evaluation by Schwab, if they will even put it in writing.
Ask for a printout, and if they hesitate, you know what they are doing. They are just bad-mouthing Big O to sell you a big brake job.
Anonymous on 07/12/2007:
It sounds like its time to talk to a lawyer. I have had this type of thing happen to me and as far as I am concerned it is criminal neglect because you could have been killed.
Good luck to you

The Worst Tire Store
Posted by
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO -- On May 28th we took in our car to have all 4 tires replaced. We paid $836 and left. At 6:03 pm we noticed that we had a flat back right tire. We contacted Big O Tires on Woodman and Rangewood to let them know. They advised us that they close there tool boxes at 6pm and there was nothing they could do for us. We were stranded and had to call a tow truck.
I will never take my service back there nor would I recommend them to my worst enemy.

And if you had called at 6:10 they would have been closed and you would have still been stranded. How long had it been since you left the tire store? If they close at 6:00, I would guess they would have rectified the tire problem the next day when they opened. How long were they to wait until you got the car back to their store that night?
You didn't have a spare to put on to get you unstranded?
Sure, it is agrivating but I don't think there is much the tire store could do for you at that moment.
Anonymous on 05/29/2008:
More importantly, was the tire defective or improperly mounted? Since the complaint does not fault the tires, I wonder how long Big O Tires was supposed to stay open...waiting for your possible flat tire call to come in.

McLaren team boss Martin Whitmarsh has urged Sergio Perez to be a bit more cautious in race situations as he is "under scrutiny" from fellow drivers.
The Mexican was given a drive-through penalty during Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix after stewards deemed he forced Romain Grosjean from Lotus off the track.
It is not the first time this season that his driving has been criticised as Grosjean's team-mate Kimi Raikkonen as well as Ferrari's Fernando Alonso also slammed him earlier in the season.
Although Whitmarsh says Perez needs to be careful to avoid penalties, he feels that the more experienced drivers on the grid are "ganging up" on him.
"When you're under scrutiny, you've got to watch it," he is quoted as saying by BBC Sport.
He added: "Inevitably, what drivers do when a young charger comes up, is that in drivers' briefings the experienced guys do try to gang up and create an environment where they are under some scrutiny.
"I've seen that many times. One day Sergio will be one of those drivers."
McLaren team-mate Jenson Button accused Perez of "dirty driving" earlier in the season and Whitmarsh believes the Mexican needs to "watch it".
"He's got to adjust that," he said. "I don't think [the manoeuvre] was that bad but on the other hand he was past, he could have given him another half a metre and he would have been clean and away.
"You can see he is looking over at the corner ahead of him. It's not deliberate but when you're in his position you've got to be careful. When you're under a bit of scrutiny you've got to watch it."


text: Damn funky gospel soul – the sort you'd hardly expect from spiritual folks like these, but which flourished strongly alongside more standard church-related work in the 70s! The package is a stunning follow up to Numero's first Good God volume – and really digs even deeper than that great set – pulling out a mad flurry of rare funky 45s that easily match any hip secular soul at the time, at least in the spirit of the groove! The lyrics are definitely on the righteous tip, but never too much so – and the earthly rhythms at the bottom of most tracks is more than enough to help pitch the grooves strongly towards anyone who's never even set foot inside of a church. As usual, Numero do an excellent job with the notes and details on all cuts – showing they really put a hell of a lot of thought into the collection – and titles include "I Know I've Been Changed" by Victory Travelers, "Pray A Little Longer" by Lucy Sister Soul Rogers, "Packing A Grip" by Golden Echoes, "Like A Ship" by Pastor TL Barrett & The Youth For Christ, "Been Trying" by Chicago Travelers, "The Same Thing It Took" by Inspirational Gospel Singers, "Somebody Watching You" by Sacred Four, "Peter & John" by Andrew Wartts & The Gospel Storytellers, "I Thank You Lord" by Little Chris & The Righteous Singers, and "Share Your Love" by Sensational Five Singing Sons. © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Nivea Skin Firming Hydration Body Lotion Q10 Plus
Nivea Skin Firming Hydration Body Lotion Q10 Plus Reviews
Love itLet's just say I have a lot of extra skin and I recently started a relatively intense exercise regimen lately. After working out and taking a shower, I rub this all over my body. I love how it feels on my skin. It absorbs fast without sitting on the skin too long and the smell is light. I cannot stand lotions that smell too heavy. It spreads evenly too; it's not very thick, but it's just right so ...read morea little covers a lot of area. My skin has never felt softer because I know Nivea makes great lotions. I do notice a bit of firming and this has helped my skin's texture a bit; not HUGE results, but enough to notice that something is improving. Also, my skin appears brighter and not as dull as it used to. I've only been using this for a few weeks, but I am going to definitely continue using this and I hope that I continue to see improved results over time. I love how my skin feels; it's not greasy at all, but it's smooth and it feels refreshed.
