CCS Bard Presents New Exhibitions: Spectres and Hotel Palenque Is Not in Yucatán
The Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College presents two new exhibitions on view from November 6 to December 19. Spectres is an ongoing project of Belgian artist Sven Augustijnen, which revisits one of the most shameful events of European colonial history: the abduction, torture, and execution of Patrice Lumumba, the first elected Prime Minister of independent Congo. Hotel Palenque Is Not in Yucatán is a multilayered exhibition and architectural intervention curated by Montserrat Albores Gleason as the culmination of a three-year curatorial fellowship at CCS Bard supported by the Jumex Foundation. Organized as part of an international curatorial conference to be held at CCS Bard from November 6 to 9, Hotel Palenque Is Not in Yucatán takes its starting point from the narrative in Robert Smithson's famous Hotel Palenque (1969-72), a slide projection taken from a lecture originally delivered by the artist at the University of Utah.

Bard Model UN Participates in Security Council Simulation at Yale
The Bard College Model United Nations team participated in the annual Security Council Simulation at Yale University October 16–19. Students served on a wide variety of committees ranging from real world issues (the Syrian crisis and Mandela's South Africa) to those drawing on more creative sources (Downton Abbey and Pirates of the Caribbean). Other participating schools included the U.S. Military Academy, Princeton, Columbia, McGill, SUNY Geneseo, Emory, Mount Holyoke, and NYU. Sophomore Jeremy Kaplitt served as Head Delegate and also won Outstanding Delegate for his work as the National Security Adviser on Hillary Clinton's Cabinet. Other members of the team were: Julia Lang Gordon '17, Simao Chen '18, Sophia Foster (BRIDGE student), Aya Qumber (PIE student), Andrew Djang '16 and Vikramaditya Joshi '18. "These simulations provide an excellent opportunity for students to learn about the complexities of international politics and diplomacy," said James Ketterer, who co-teaches Bard's United Nations course. "While it is important to read and analyze the literature, diplomacy makes sense in a different way when you have to negotiate and make compromises with others sitting across the table from you." The Bard team competes again next month at a Model Arab League simulation at Northeastern University.

Arendt Center Hosts International Conference on American Exceptionalism
The Hannah Arendt Center at Bard College will host its seventh annual international conference in Olin Hall October 9–10. The conference, "The Unmaking of Americans," will ask what aspirations and which dreams still animate American idealism. Americans today must confront the weakening of a collective vision of freedom and equality. Americans are dismayed at the power of money, the decay of self-governance, and a bureaucracy that seems impervious to popular control. And yet few dare to articulate a collective vision that might hold the country together. The Arendt conference brings together scholars, writers, and educators to ask, "Are there still American values worth fighting for?"

Filmmaker and Bard Professor Peggy Ahwesh Receives Prestigious NAMAC Artist Award
The National Alliance for Media Arts and Culture (NAMAC) has named Peggy Ahwesh, Bard College professor of film and electronic arts, as the winner of the 2014 NAMAC Artist Award. A faculty member at Bard since 1990, Ahwesh's expertise includes film production, feminist studies, and media advocacy. "Ultimately, Ahwesh has developed a practice that insists on political and social topicality, handled with theoretical and formal rigor, while remembering the audience," writes NAMAC's board of directors in its award announcement. "It is her lighter touch that has helped make her work, densely critical as it is, so accessible to so many people." Professor Ahwesh will receive the award at NAMAC's State & Main conference in Philadelphia on August 8.

He said some growers might walk away from some lower-value late season varieties — notably braeburn — in deference to higher value late season varieties such as fuji, Pacific Rose and Pink Ladies.
Steensma said apple market conditions were good in early November, but he said it was possible that prices for regular storage fruit could come under pressure if growers are forced to put more fruit in short-term storage than usual.
With the current crisis signalling even deeper troubles ahead, Steensma said the industry will have to "go back to the drawing board" on finding enough labor in future years. "Our state government has a vested interest in us, but the national government, they don't really care."Grim said Washington growers of every size are concerned about the future of labor availability.
"We have been asking for, crying for, praying for a fix to carry of the fact that these are seasonal jobs that the majority of people in this country do not want," Grim said. "We would like to find a guest worker system that would allow us to bring those workers into the country to take these jobs and then go back home," he said. The alternative, he said, is that orchards will go out of business, he said. "We need to this fix and it isn't going to get fix unless you want to crater this industry for reasons of lack of workers to get it picked, packed and processed.
If legal farm workers aren't found, the Washington tree fruit industry could be in trouble, said Dan Fazio, owner of the Washington Farm Labor Association, Lacey, Wash. "I'm on the record predicting that 50% of the smaller orchards will be torn out in the next ten years," he said.
Frank Gasperini, executive vice president of the Washington, D.C.-based National Council of Agricultural employers, said the troubles in Washington state aren't unique.
with low unemployment in Mexico and slowing migration, all of U.S. agriculture will be challenged to find workers in the next five to ten years, he said. "In the end, we have to find a way to convince Congress to make the workers doing the work now legal, or we are in serious trouble."

Thanks for the great review! We feel all warm and fuzzy!
Sized as Expected
Walking, running...
This is the best socks I have for my bare feet shoes my others socks got my nevs when I wore my shoes but these they don't feel like I have any on at all that's what I love about them.
Sized as Expected
I got one pair of these socks a long time ago, and they are still good! Because of this I have ordered 12 more pair, six this time and six others a while back. I am very pleased so far and hope to continue to be. They are the most comfortable socks I've ever worn. They don't wrinkle up in my shoes, and my feet sweat in them. Another thing I like about these socks is that they have a 3 year warranty! Yeah!
Sized as Expected
I wear them every day
I bought one pair to see if I would like it but it has more then surpassed my expectations.
Sized as Expected
Everyday wearing.
My story starts almost 3 years ago, when I first got my merrell socks. The main reason I bought them is the three year guarantee. I've never had a pair of daily socks last more than 6 months, when I read the three year promise I said challenge accepted. Now 3 years later, my original 2 pair still look and feel brand new. The price of the socks for me is more cost efficient than spending less on several pairs. Now on to the clothes!!!
Our socks rock! Thanks for the review and for being a Merrell fan.

Subway has tried to cultivate a reputation as one of the healthier fast food chains, thanks to offering several sandwich options with under 6 grams of fat and yogurt, apples, and raisins as side options instead of oily french fries. If you're looking for a meatless option however, you might think that you're stuck with the Veggie Delight, which is basically a salad on a bun - hardly satisfying. But recently, I visited a Subway that offers a more substantial option: the Veggie Patty Sandwich.
You'll be able to instantly recognize this sandwich because it looks like a rectangular veggie burger, with visible bits of carrot and peppers. The veggie patty sandwich comes as a "melt" meaning that it usually topped with melted cheese. In the interest of calorie counts and your health, I would suggest ordering your sandwich without cheese or mayonnaise and asking for plenty of vegetables instead. The Veggie Patty itself tastes like a Gardenburger - plenty salty with the added texture of vegetables and vegetable protein. They can be a little oily, so you might want to blot off excess moisture with your napkin before digging in.
Each Veggie Patty contains 160 calories, 5 grams of fat (8% of the RDA), 3 grams of fiberv(12% of the RDA) and a whopping 15 grams of protein. Unfortunately, there is also 520 milligrams of sodium, which is 22% your daily allowance. Also remember that these numbers are for the patty alone. Bread alone adds 200-250 calories.
Overall I would order this again if the Veggie Delight simply won't satisfy me. The patty's impressive protein content makes it great for keeping my hunger at bay, at least for a few hours. The oiliness, however, does leave me a little concern, making me think that the nutritional stats are not entirely accurate. Also, the substantial sodium count makes this an occasional indulgence rather than a regular part of my diet.

Consumer News Release
For release: Wednesday, February 8, 2006 Contact: Stephen Larson, Iowa Treasurer's Office, 515-281-5644, or Bob Brammer, Iowa Attorney General's Office, 515-281-6699.
DES MOINES. State Treasurer Michael Fitzgerald and Attorney General Tom Miller are teaming up to fight for unclaimed rebate money they say belongs to Iowans.
Fitzgerald is the plaintiff in a lawsuit filed today by Miller against Young America Corporation, a Minnesota "fulfillment" company that has handled rebate programs for Target, Best Buy, Hewlett-Packard, and other major retail companies. The suit alleges that Young America has not reported unclaimed rebate checks, and instead has kept the money from rebate checks to Iowans that went uncashed for more than three years.
"First, our suit asks the court to order Young America to submit to an examination of its records by Treasurer Fitzgerald to see if the company is holding unclaimed property that rightly belongs to Iowans," Miller said. "Second, we ask the court to order Young America to deliver any such funds to the Treasurer, so the Treasurer can begin to get the money back to Iowans."
Fitzgerald said: "Rebate checks become abandoned property under Iowa law if they go uncashed for three years. The law requires Young America and other rebate fulfillment companies to report such abandoned property to my office by June 30 each year - and to pay the reported amounts to the State Treasurer by Nov. 1," he said.
"Then we can go to work to find the rightful owners," said Fitzgerald, whose office runs the "Great Iowa Treasure Hunt" and other programs to connect Iowans with their unclaimed property.
The lawsuit, which was filed by Miller's office today in Polk County District Court in Des Moines, alleges that Young America "has never filed a report with the Treasurer and has never paid to the Treasurer the proceeds of those uncashed rebate checks" owed to Iowa consumers. Young America, based in Chanhassen, Minnesota, is the nation's largest rebate fulfillment company.
"We view non-compliance by the rebate fulfillment industry with unclaimed property requirements to be an industry-wide issue," Fitzgerald said. "We will soon be knocking on the doors of other rebate processors to seek compliance with our unclaimed property laws."
The lawsuit notes that Young America "took as its own revenue" uncashed checks totaling almost $43 million from January 1, 1995, to June 30, 2002. Such funds are called "slippage" - checks issued to consumers that are not cashed.
"We are asking the court to order Young America to permit the Treasurer to examine the company's records, so he can determine how much of that 'slippage' belongs to Iowans," Miller said. "Then the Treasurer can start work to get the money back to Iowans."
[Young America lawsuit.]
- 30 -
Iowa Code Chapter 556 deals with "Disposition of Unclaimed Property." Unclaimed property can be any financial asset that has been abandoned by its owner for a period of time specified by the law (three years for uncashed rebate checks.) Common types of unclaimed property include uncashed checks or gift certificates, forgotten safe-deposit boxes, dormant bank accounts, unclaimed wages, and unclaimed utility refunds, insurance dividends, and stock certificates and dividends.
Property may become abandoned when people move and simply forget about an account or deposit; when people get a check and forget to deposit it; when people move or divorce or remarry; or when an error causes a mailing to be returned as non-deliverable.
Under Iowa law the State of Iowa "stands in the shoes" of the missing owner, and the State Treasurer maintains custody until the rightful owners (or heirs) claim the property.
Rightful owners or legal heirs always have the right to claim assets. There is no time limit to file a claim, and the Treasurer's Office provides this service free of charge. The Treasurer conducts the "Great Iowa Treasure Hunt" (http://www.greatiowatreasurehunt.com/) and other programs to find the owners of unclaimed property, including mailings, State and County fair displays, public service announcements, and other efforts.
"About 40 percent of rebates are never redeemed," Miller said. "People often fail to apply for rebates. Sometimes their paper-work is rejected because they don't provide all required materials, or they make a mistake in the forms. And sometimes rebate checks are undeliverable because somewhere along the line a mistake is made in the consumer's address."

Its kind of amazing, given our politicians obsession with self-promotion, that we havent yet seen a line of congressional colognes.
Think about it. Actors, athletes, models and singers have signature scents. Snooki has two. So why not one for the chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee?
Or for Marco Rubio?
He could deliver the Republican response to President Barack Obamas State of the Union address not just as an immigration reformer with an eye on 2016 but as the pitchman for Amnesty by Marco Rubio, the eau de toilette for the man or woman who craves a clean break, a new beginning. I imagine a top note of citrus, nodding to Rubios native Florida, and a middle note of tea, nodding to his party-within-a-party.
Harry Reid, the Senate Democratic majority leader, could be the face and spirit of Nevada Naughty, named for his home state and his habit of playing rough. I detect a whiff of desert wildflowers. Vanilla, too. Also some nutmeg, clove and coriander. No, wait, thats my lentil soup recipe.
From John Boehner Im getting tobacco. And leather. And I dont mean his cigarette dependence or dependably tanned skin. I mean his sporty new scent, Acqua di Speaker. It comes not just in a spray and a splash but also in a shower gel, for those times when you want to wash away the stink of lobbyists and emerge feeling refreshed and smelling like Camel Ultra Lights.
And John McCain could channel his spooky fury into a fragrance for the grudge holder who has never suffered a slight that he didnt avenge. Its name would be Payback, and it would smell of sour grapes and scorched earth.
Its past time for lawmakers, and not just in the nations capital, to get in on the aromatic action. The distinction between a headliner in politics and a headliner in movies, music, fashion or sports has pretty much evaporated. Its all show business now, all relentless marketing and meticulous brand management, and Chris Christie is just Beyonce with shorter hair, bigger lungs and a less rigorous workout routine. She calls one of her colognes Midnight Heat. He could call his Autumn Hurricane, to capture the pummeling force of his personality and the event that made him, politically speaking, destinys child.
With signature scents, our designated leaders might be much more appealing. The television cameras could pan the senators, representatives, Cabinet members and Supreme Court justices in the Capitol on Tuesday night and wed see not just a snake pit of bitter enemies taking a rare time-out. Wed behold a human potpourri of nose-tickling possibility.
Why, theres Eric Cantor, who recently joined the Republicans reinvention mission with talk and tweets about transcending partisanship and helping the little guy. Hes worried about immigrant kids. Hes oozing empathy for working moms. And hes wearing Eric Cantors Eau de Changement, a chameleon of a cologne that makes you smell harsh at certain times, approachable at others. Eau de Changement keeps voters guessing. Paul Ryan wears it, too.
Sonia Sotomayor may turn up in the Capitol for Obamas remarks. Shes taking a breather from the tour for My Beloved World, her memoir, which is just the first chapter in a new saga of Supreme merchandising. Next comes her scent, Black Robe, with currents of jasmine and bergamot, in a bottle shaped like Lady Justice.
Of course Hillary Clintons stratospheric approval ratings demand a cologne all her own. It should be a symphony of spices and flowers from the different continents she visited as secretary of state, a bouquet of international ambition, with a moniker to match. All our diplomats will wear Beyond Borders, or theyll wear nothing at all.
Itll be unisex, while Bill Clintons signature scent will be a musky number for men only. Itll use cedar, incense and wormwood to rewrite history, and be called Unimpeachable.
The way I figure it, politicians arent making much progress in fixing the budget or saving the post office. But they just might be able to make America smell a little better. A more perfect union eludes us. Perhaps we should set our sights on a more perfumed one.
C-SPAN could evolve into something like QVC, where youd see the former governor of Tennessee, now its senior senator, pop up to present a special deal on Lamar Noir, with half off the after-shave balm if you also get the soap on a rope.
And instead of showily haranguing Cabinet nominees, Ted Cruz, the Texas Tea Partier, could lend his aggrieved voice and censorious visage to a showy cologne, Cruz Control. Its tailor-made for preening, with a top note of sandalwood, a middle note of tonka bean and a base of self-righteousness.

The ark removed to Kirjath-jearim. (1-4) The Israelites solemnly repent. (5,6) The Lord discomfits the Philistines. (7-12) They are subdued, Samuel judges Israel. (13-17)
Verses 1-4 God will find a resting-place for his ark; if some thrust it from them, the hearts of others shall be inclined to receive it. It is no new thing for God's ark to be in a private house. Christ and his apostles preached from house to house, when they could not have public places. Twenty years passed before the house of Israel cared for the want of the ark. During this time the prophet Samuel laboured to revive true religion. The few words used are very expressive; and this was one of the most effectual revivals of religion which ever took place in Israel.
Verses 5-6 Israel drew water and poured it out before the Lord; signifying their humiliation and sorrow for sin. They pour out their hearts in repentance before the Lord. They were free and full in their confession, and fixed in their resolution to cast away from them all their wrong doings. They made a public confession, We have sinned against the Lord; thus giving glory to God, and taking shame to themselves. And if we thus confess our sins, we shall find our God faithful and just to forgive us our sins.
Verses 7-12 The Philistines invaded Israel. When sinners begin to repent and reform, they must expect that Satan will muster all his force against them, and set his instruments at work to the utmost, to oppose and discourage them. The Israelites earnestly beg Samuel to pray for them. Oh what a comfort it is to all believers, that our great Intercessor above never ceases, is never silent! for he always appears in the presence of God for us. Samuel's sacrifice, without his prayer, had been an empty shadow. God gave a gracious answer. And Samuel erected a memorial of this victory, to the glory of God, and to encourage Israel. Through successive generations, the church of God has had cause to set up Eben-ezers for renewed deliverances; neither outward persecutions nor inward corruptions have prevailed against her, because "hitherto the Lord hath helped her:" and he will help, even to the end of the world.
Verses 13-17 In this great revival of true religion, the ark was neither removed to Shiloh, nor placed with the tabernacle any where else. This disregard to the Levitical institutions showed that their typical meaning formed their chief use; and when that was overlooked, they became a lifeless service, not to be compared with repentance, faith, and the love of God and man.
1 Samuel 7:1 1 Samuel 7:2 . THE ARK AT KIRJATH-JEARIM.
1. the men of Kirjath-jearim--"the city of woods," also Kirjath-baal ( Joshua 15:60 , 18:14 , 1 Chronicles 13:5 1 Chronicles 13:6 ). It was the nearest town to Beth-shemesh and stood on a hill. This was the reason of the message ( 1 Samuel 6:21 ), and why this was chosen for the convenience of people turning their faces to the ark ( 1 Kings 8:29-35 , Psalms 28:2 , Daniel 6:10 ).
brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill--Why it was not transported at once to Shiloh where the tabernacle and sacred vessels were remaining, is difficult to conjecture.
sanctified . . . his son--He was not a Levite, and was therefore only set apart or appointed to be keeper of the place.
2. the ark abode in Kirjath-jearim . . . twenty years--It appears, in the subsequent history, that a much longer period elapsed before its final removal from Kirjath-jearim ( 2 Samuel 6:1-19 , 1 Chronicles 13:1-14 ). But that length of time had passed when the Israelites began to revive from their sad state of religious decline. The capture of the ark had produced a general indifference either as to its loss or its recovery.
all the house of Israel lamented after the Lord--They were then brought, doubtless by the influence of Samuel's exhortations, to renounce idolatry, and to return to the national worship of the true God.
1 Samuel 7:3-6 . THE ISRAELITES, THROUGH SAMUEL'S INFLUENCE, SOLEMNLY REPENT AT MIZPEH.
3-6. Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel--A great national reformation was effected through the influence of Samuel. Disgusted with their foreign servitude, and panting for the restoration of liberty and independence, they were open to salutary impressions; and convinced of their errors, they renounced idolatry. The re-establishment of the faith of their fathers was inaugurated at a great public meeting, held at Mizpeh in Judah, and hallowed by the observance of impressive religious solemnities. The drawing water, and pouring it out before the Lord, seems to have been a symbolical act by which, in the people's name, Samuel testified their sense of national corruption, their need of that moral purification of which water is the emblem, and their sincere desire to pour out their hearts in repentance before God.
6. Samuel judged . . . Israel in Mizpeh--At the time of Eli's death he could not have much exceeded twenty years of age; and although his character and position must have given him great influence, it does not appear that hitherto he had done more than prophets were wont to do. Now he entered on the duties of a civil magistrate.
1 Samuel 7:7-14 . WHILE SAMUEL PRAYS, THE PHILISTINES ARE DISCOMFITED.
7-11. when the Philistines heard, &c.--The character and importance of the national convention at Mizpeh were fully appreciated by the Philistines. They discerned in it the rising spirit of religious patriotism among the Israelites that was prepared to throw off the yoke of their domination. Anxious to crush it at the first, they made a sudden incursion while the Israelites were in the midst of their solemn celebration. Unprepared for resistance, they besought Samuel to supplicate the divine interposition to save them from their enemies. The prophet's prayers and sacrifice were answered by such a tremendous storm of thunder and lightning that the assailants, panic-struck, were disordered and fled. The Israelites, recognizing the hand of God, rushed courageously on the foe they had so much dreaded and committed such immense havoc, that the Philistines did not for long recover from this disastrous blow. This brilliant victory secured peace and independence to Israel for twenty years, as well as the restitution of the usurped territory.
12. Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen--on an open spot between the town and "the crag" (some well-known rock in the neighborhood). A huge stone pillar was erected as a monument of their victory ( Leviticus 26:1 ). The name--Eben-ezer--is thought to have been written on the face of it.

About the Collection Known as The Painter of Light™, Thomas Kinkade became recognized as America's most collected living artist. Reflecting his modest background, Kinkade painted bucolic scenes with themes of simple pleasures and inspiring messages. With each brushstroke, Thom eloquently captured the beauty in the world with an instantly recognizable use of color and light.
As a devout Christian, Kinkade used his gift as a vehicle to communicate and spread inherent life-affirming values. Kinkade credited the Lord for both the ability and the inspiration to create his paintings. His goal as an artist was to touch people of all faiths, to bring peace, and joy into their lives through the images he created. The letters he received every day testify to the fact that he had achieved this goal.

Although I liked Danielle Spicy Carrot Veggie Chips, there were certain things I didn't like about them - namely, the price and the amount of saturated fat that prevent me from buying it regularly. Still, given how tasty (and interesting) these chips were, I decided not to give up on finding a healthier carrot chip. I stumbled on Crispy Delites Natural Veggie Carrot Chips, a bag of which cost $1.50 (instead of $3.29 for Danielle's Carrot Chips).
Carrot chips are definitely one of my new favorite foods. They're naturally sweet, but balanced nicely with a bit of salt and oil. I'm glad I found a healthier version, with less fat but the same amount of taste. Yay Crispy Delites.
One 1.07 ounce bag of Crispy Delites Natural Veggie Carrot Chips provides 105 calories, (less than Danielle Chips' 130 for the same serving size), plus 3.5 grams of total fat and 0.5 grams of saturated fat. I thought they had 20% of the RDA for sodium, but turns out I was looking at the RDA percentage for potassium - these have only 120 mg of sodium (5% of the RDA), 390 mg of potassium, 1 gram of protein, 3 grams of fiber and 21 grams of (naturally occuring) sugar. Not too shabby!
These chips are made with only carrots, canola oil, and salt, and taste appropriately simple - the carrot flavor is delicious, and the canola oil and salt really make it shine.

Software-as-a-Service may receive more publicity, but some experts say Platform-as-a-Service is becoming a popular IT solution and is positioned for several years of expansion.
According to market research firm Gartner, the evolution of PaaS will impact end users, IT departments and vendors in the enterprise software market.
"With large and growing vendor investment in PaaS, the market is on the cusp of several years of strategic growth, leading to innovation and likely breakthroughs in technology and business use of all of cloud computing," said Yefim Natis of Gartner. "Users and vendors of enterprise IT software solutions that are not yet engaged with PaaS must begin building expertise in PaaS or face tough challenges from competitors."
The report said the PaaS market is still largely undeveloped, as the market lacks established leaders and best practices standards. However, Gartner expects PaaS to become a major component of cloud computing during the next two to three years, while most major software companies will offer well-developed PaaS solutions by the end of 2013.
By 2016, the PaaS market will include new programming models, market leaders and an extensive set of standards, the source said. PaaS is the layer of cloud technology between infrastructure and SaaS, and contains all application infrastructure services. Besides reducing costs and improving scalability, experts say PaaS providers users with less initial investment and risk and the ability to easily update software.
While other cloud-based technology like SaaS have garnered more attention from enterprises and IT professionals, some experts believe PaaS is poised to outpace other cloud services this year. In an InformationWeek report, expert Alistair Croll said PaaS is the top enterprise cloud trend of 2012, while a recent survey revealed 42 percent of companies expect to implement PaaS this year.

The Camp Time Roll-A-Chair's unique patented folding back allows the chair to convert into a stool and then fold into a bundle that is only 8% its original size. Roll-a-Chair's design even incorporates its own closure buckle and adjustable shoulder strap for hands free carrying ease. Perfect when you want a lightweight and extra comfortable chair that packs and carries easily.
The seat is made with two layers of fabric. One layer is oriented with its strong grain to support around the edge of the seat and the second layer is oriented with itsstrong fabric grain to support diagonally across the middle of the seat. Together, the two layers give superior support over the entire seat without the center sagging characteristic of other camp chairs.
Pressure from your body on the seat is transferred through the arm straps to the fabric back support where your back is suspended away from all rigid back support tubes like that of a hammock.
The combination of a two ply seat and a suspended back support makes the Roll-a-Chair comfortable without excessive weight.
Roll-a-Chair is made in the USA and all materials are chosen to complement its unique design. The legs are made of special high strength marine alloy 5086-H38 from Scottsboro Alabama and work hardened to a tensile strength of 50,000 PSI. Each leg is also reinforced with a hard-wood dowel at its center hinge. This combination of high strength aluminum and hard-wood dowels gives the legs the strength of steel at half the weight.

I-70 work outlined
East Washington resident Bob Wharton examines improvements slated for the Beau Street interchange along Interstate 70 in South Strabane Township as they are explained by David Kozel, project manager for Gannett Fleming of Camp Hill.

Work continues on the south junction of I-70/79 reconstruction to eliminate a "killer curve." The project by Golden Eagle Construction is about half finished and should be completed in about a year.

The state Department of Transportation will spend $33 million to widen Interstate 70 from four to six lanes in a project in South Strabane Township designed to also improve the highway's dangerous Beau Street interchange.
PennDOT is expected to award a contract in 2015 for the project involving just shy of 2 miles of I-70 between the south junction to Interstate 79 and Beau Street, said Barry Lyons, a project manager.
"When they designed this in the 1950s and built it in the 1960s, it showed that just two lanes in each direction were needed," Lyons said.
Today, with the section of the road being traveled by 58,000 vehicles a day, PennDOT realized the highway needed to be widened, he said Wednesday at a public meeting announcing the work in the South Strabane Township Building.
"The purpose of today, you don't want to just pop something out to the public. Maybe there is something we missed," Lyons said.
The work is part of four separate projects to improve I-70 between the north and south junctions to I-79.
A contract is expected to be awarded June 14 on $55 million in improvements west of the Murtland Avenue interchange, which also is in South Strabane. Another project involves creating an innovative diamond-shaped interchange along Route 19 to improve and create safer traffic flow onto I-70. Another $50 million project is under way to build massive ramps off I-79 to I-70 at the south junction to eliminate a ramp there known as the "killer curve."
The meeting Wednesday marked Beau Street-to-I-79 project's entry in the environmental clearances phases, Lyons said.
While no houses will be torn down to pave way for creating two additional I-70 lanes there, Lyons said, portions of 37 parcels of property will need to be purchased by PennDOT. The dangerous I-70 east entrance ramp from Beau Street also will be straightened and lengthened to provide better access to the highway.
He said another meeting will be scheduled with residents along Lakeview Drive to determine if they want PennDOT to build noise barrier walls.
Bob Wharton of East Washington was among a handful of local residents who attended the early stages of the meeting.
"Something needed to be done," Wharton said, referring to the Beau Street interchange he considers to be a "death ride."

Many of us exert great effort trying to keep work lives separate from personal relationships, but the two might be more similar than we thought. For many, making the transition from one career to the next can be a lot like ending a long-term romantic relationship. Either you two can part ways cordially, retaining the ability to partake in the occasional small talk or mutual gathering, or it can end with one of your wardrobes scattered across the front lawn and your partner screaming profanities from the window. We all strive for the former, but sometimes that's easier said than done.
Marcy Twete, CEO of Career Girl Network, an online platform for women in business to connect and learn from one another, has experienced her fair share of job transitions throughout her career. When making your own move, Ms. Twete stresses the importance of giving the right amount of notice. Too much notice can be just as harmful as too little. But generally, two weeks is considered an appropriate length. When leaving a position, Ms. Twete urges women to remain grateful. "Even if it's a bad situation, be appreciative and say thank you for the opportunity," she advises.
But even appropriate notice and a grateful attitude might not be enough to ward off a nasty breakup. Ms. Twete cautions, "There are going to be people angry with you…that are jealous…who feel abandoned," but you have to be "willing to not take it personally." This can be especially difficult for women, who tend to invest more emotion into work relationships than men. When women quit a job they often apologize for their own successes, explains Ms. Twete, but "women need to own the fact that they are doing something that's right for them and for their career."
If there are particular people you want to maintain relationships with, reach out to them. Depending on the circumstances of your exit, you may need to give them a couple of weeks to cool off. But with effort and a little bit of luck, you should be able to avoid any long-lasting animosities. It worked for Ms. Twete, who recounts how "even the people who were really angry with me at the time [that I left] the job are now still close connections."
But not every job can end with smiles. Sometimes the day you quit is the best day you've had since you started. In these situations, engage with your company's Human Resources department if you feel you have something constructive to say. However, "if you're trying to rock the boat…it's probably not a smart thing to do with your career," cautions Ms. Twete.
Leaving an old job can be daunting; it forces you to step outside of your routine and engage in a potentially difficult situation. But the rewards and new opportunities that follow generally make all of the mess well worth it. And just think, if you never broke up with that bad boy you dated after college, you never would have found'Mr. Right.' So go ahead, have the talk.

1. Reflection:
"In the 3rd Century, St. Irenaeus wrote that "Eve, by her disobedience, tied the knot of disgrace for the human race; whereas Mary, by her obedience, undid it." I still remember years ago as a Boy Scout having to learn to tie knots. For me it was a miserable experience. I could never really master the art of knot-tying. Especially the taut-line hitch. But through practice and the patience of my scout master I eventually became proficient in tying knots. Our Lady teaches us to say "yes" to God: "Be it done to me according to your word." Despite the fear that can paralyze us at various moments, she models for us radical trust in the Lord. As St. John Paul II pointed out, the culture of death is built on fear. And so we can learn a great deal by looking to Our Lady to teach us to trust and cast out fear from our hearts. Today I know that without the maternal love of Mary, I would not be in formation to be a priest. For as a mother she is my encourager. Like my scout master, Mary patiently and persistently calls me to overcome fear and say "yes" to God. She unceasingly comes to my aid to untie the various knots that are the effects of fear and sin in my life. And she can teach all of us to do the same and thus build a culture of life and a civilization of love."
Nicholas Larkin
Archdiocese of Denver
2. Make the sign of the cross
3. Say the Act of Contrition:
Oh my God I am heartily sorry for having offended you. I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of Hell. But most of all, because I offended you, oh my God, who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of your grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen
4. Say the first 3 decades of the Glorious Mysteries (The Resurrection; The Ascension; The Coming of the Holy Spirit).
5. Meditation
Dearest Holy Mother, Most Holy Mary, you undo the knots that suffocate your children, extend your merciful hands to us. We entrust to You today this knot of the culture of death in Colorado and the United States and all the negative consequences that it provokes in our lives.
We give you this knot that torments us and makes us unhappy and so impedes us from uniting ourselves to You and Your Son Jesus, our Savior.
We run to You, Mary, Undoer of Knots, because we trust you and we know that you never despise a sinning child who comes to ask you for help. We believe that you can undo this knot because Jesus grants you everything. We believe that you want to undo this knot because you are our Mother. We believe that we will do this because you love us with eternal love.
Thank you, Dear Mother.
Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for us.
The one who seeks grace, finds it in Mary's hands.
6. Say the last 2 decades of the Glorious Mysteries (The Assumption of Mary; The Coronation of Mary).

Styles can be used on anything. Create your own background paper. Use on text to create you own alpha (without the hassel of lining seperate letters up). On elements. Frames. Etc.
I have to say I really like that styles are being offerred. I'd much rather buy a style to use on text than buy an alpha.
Also a simple search for "free photoshop styles" will get you numerous links to free styles you can download and use.
