text: Effects of hard drugs – street drugs Marijuana, Heroin and CocaineWednesday, November 11, 2009 Marijuana, heroin and cocaine are highly addictive. Some of these drugs are used for the treatment of pain, as a local anesthetic in surgery, for various painful, incurable and debilitating illnesses; for treating the harmful side effects of cancer chemotherapy and glaucoma. These drugs have a temporary effect by strongly stimulating the central nervous system and abuse of these drugs causes 'craving' and a strong psychological desire to keep on using them. The result on those who abuse these drugs is often fatal – it puts one's life, family, the environment, work and activities at great risk. Tolerance builds and the desired effects reduce so much that users have to take more just to get the same effects and to feel 'normal' or avoid a very unpleasant withdrawal state. Marijuana (Cannabis)It is a dry, shredded green/brown mix of flowers, stems, seeds, and leaves of the hemp plant Cannabis sativa. It is usually smoked as a cigarette, in blunts or in a pipe. The main active chemical in marijuana is THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) and it exhibits most of its side effects. Effects of marijuana (1) Brain: THC acts in the brain to produce its many effects. The brain is known to be the most affected upon intake of the drug. It affects the part of the brain that is said to be in control of the senses and emotions. It influences pleasure, memory, thought, concentration, sensory and time perception, and coordinated movement. The effects of marijuana include problems with memory and learning, distorted perception, difficulty in thinking and problem solving, loss of coordination, and increased heart rate. (2) Heart: Within a few minutes after smoking marijuana, the heart begins beating more rapidly and the blood pressure drops. Because of the lower blood pressure and higher heart rate, researchers found that users' risk for a heart attack is four times higher within the first hour after smoking marijuana. (3) Lungs: Even infrequent abuse can cause burning and stinging of the mouth and throat, often accompanied by a heavy cough. Someone who smokes marijuana regularly may have many of the same respiratory problems that tobacco smokers have, such as daily cough and phlegm production, more frequent acute chest illness, risk of lung infections, and a greater tendency to obstructed airways. (4) Cancer: Marijuana abuse also has the potential to promote cancer of the lungs and other parts of the respiratory tract because it contains irritants and carcinogens. In fact, marijuana smoke contains 50 to 70 per cent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than does tobacco smoke. (5) Effects on learning and social behaviour: Research demonstrates that marijuana has the potential to cause problems in daily life or make a person's existing problems worse. Depression, anxiety, and personality disturbances have been associated with chronic marijuana use. Because marijuana compromises the ability to learn and remember information, the more a person uses marijuana the more he or she is likely to fall behind in accumulating intellectual, job, or social skills. (6) Effects during pregnancy: There is evidence that some babies born to women who abused marijuana during their pregnancies display altered responses to visual stimuli, problems with sustained attention and memory, and a high-pitched cry, which may indicate neurological problems in development. (7) Reproductive system: Cannabis has been reported both to enhance and lessen the subjective enjoyment of sex. It also reduces the testosterone levels in men to the lower end of the normal scale, though these levels rise again after the cessation of smoking. The drug also appears to reduce both sperm count and sperm motility. (8) Other health effects of marijuana: Some of marijuana's adverse health effects may occur because THC impairs the immune system's ability to fight disease. It impairs the body's immune system from fighting disease, which can cause a wide variety of health problems. HEROIN and abuse effectsHeroin is a natural opiate made from morphine. Heroin is a very strong pain-killer that is abused today. 'Street' heroin sold as 'brown' is sometimes used by clubbers as a chill out after a big night out. Heroin enters the brain, where it is converted to morphine and binds to receptors that are located in many areas of the brain (and in the body), especially those involved in the perception of pain and in reward. It impairs these receptors located in the brain stem which are important for automatic processes critical for life, such as breathing (respiration), blood pressure, and arousal. After an intravenous injection of heroin, users report feeling a surge of euphoria ("rush") accompanied by a dry mouth, a warm flushing of the skin, heaviness of the extremities, and clouded mental functioning. Following this initial euphoria, the user goes "on the nod," an alternately wakeful and drowsy state. Adverse effects of heroin on health?Heroin abuse is associated with serious health conditions, including fatal overdose, spontaneous abortion, and particularly in users who inject the drug infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS and hepatitis. Chronic users may develop collapsed veins, infection of the heart lining and valves, abscesses, and liver or kidney disease. Pulmonary complications, including various types of pneumonia, may result from the poor health of the abuser as well as from heroin's depressing effects on respiration. In addition to the effects of the drug itself, street heroin often contains toxic contaminants or additives that can clog the blood vessels leading to the lungs, liver, kidneys, or brain, causing permanent damage to vital organs. Heroin abuse can cause serious complications during pregnancy, including miscarriage and premature delivery. Children born to addicted mothers are at greater risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome), as well. COCAINE and medical complications of abuseThere are enormous medical complications associated with cocaine use. Some of the most frequent complications are cardiovascular effects, including disturbances in the heart rhythm and heart attacks; such respiratory effects as chest pain and respiratory failure; neurological effects, including strokes, seizure, and headaches; and gastrointestinal complications, including abdominal pain and nausea. Different routes of cocaine administration can produce different adverse effects. Regularly snorting cocaine, for example, can lead to loss of the sense of smell, nose bleeds, problems with swallowing, hoarseness, and an overall irritation of the nasal septum, which can lead to a chronically inflamed, runny nose. Ingested cocaine can cause severe bowel gangrene, due to reduced blood flow. People who inject cocaine have puncture marks and "tracks," especially in their forearms. Intravenous cocaine users may also experience an allergic reaction, either to the drug, or to some additive in street cocaine, which can result, in severe cases, in death. Because cocaine has a tendency to decrease food intake, many chronic cocaine users lose their appetite and can experience significant weight loss and malnourishment. The Liver – Cocaine and crack can damage the liver's ability to detoxify blood, while reducing the production of critical enzymes needed for normal body functions. Hepatitus can be contracted and cause serious liver damage, or lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer. The Intestines – The blood supply is reduced to the intestines, resulting in nausea, diarrhoea, painful cramps, inflammation and even death. The reproductive system; Regular use can result in loss of interest in sex, decreased sexual performancce, risk of impotence and infertility; miscarriages, developmental disorders and complications during birth; premature separation of the placenta from the uterus leading to premature births or stillbirths. Psychological and personality changes; Irritability, anxiety, panic attacks, excitable, 'hyper,' erratic, confused, depressed, non-stop babbling, sleeplessness, chronic fatigue, short tempers, bizarre behaviour, agressiveness and violence, suicidal behaviour, paranoia, delusions and hallucinations. The eyes - Dilation of pupils and blurred vision The throat - Inhaling cocaine vapours causes hoarseness, coughing and constant sore throat . The lungs - Smoking cocaine damages the lung cells' ability to process gases, leaving the user with constant cough and shortness of breath. The heart and blood vessels - Constricts the heart's blood vessels, increasing blood pressure. This may trigger heart attack, heart failure, irregular heart beat and sudden death. Cocaine and crack cause blood vessels to constrict, increasing blood pressure, and risk of heart attack and stroke The bladder and body weight - Increased need to urinate. Loss of appetite can be so severe that it leads to dramatic weight loss and malnutrition. PrecautionsIt is important to know that even though you may feel like dying when coming off of the drug, people most often come out unscathed and a full recovery is completely possible. Below are some ideas to consider when treating drug withdrawal symptoms and finding the help you need. 1. Give yourself room. Commit yourself fully – let people know that you are quitting and ensure to stick to it. Move away from people that encourage you to start it and build decent friends. It is important to plan out quitting carefully. If you work, try to take some decent time off. 2. If you plan on quitting, there are things you can do to minimize the pain of withdrawals while quitting:A. Ask a close trusted friend to stay with you during the duration of the withdrawal symptoms. They will have to take care of you as if you had a really bad case of the flu. B. Keep plenty of fluids handy and foods you can eat available. Fruit drinks, yogurt, oatmeal, bottled water, soups, etc are plain foods that are easy on your stomach and senses while you are ill. It is extremely easy to get dehydrated, so keep this in mind. Also meal replacement shakes may be a great way to deliver nutrient when full meals are not easily consumed. C. See a DOCTOR – very important in the case of an ADDICT. Inform him or her of your quitting, seek help and guidance. The doctor might help you with advice and medicines for the withdrawal effects: nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea or for any other withdrawal symptom that may arise. E. The most severe of drug abuse symptoms tend to last around five days; however residual affects will slowly continue to fade over a period of time. Remember to give yourself plenty of time to recover. For the sake of your health, try to get as much time off as possible to aid in your recovery. The first step is 'decision' and staying away from bad friends or colleagues. You make up your mind to stop being a drug abuser. And you quickly move to 'action' - finding ways to help yourself stop. Once stopped, you have to stay stopped - the 'maintenance' stage. This is the trickiest stage for most people. Lapses may occur, and you need to be equipped to cope with them, and overcome them, or find yourself back at the beginning instead of moving on to a better life. Hard drugs (cocaine, heroin and marijuana) are illegal because of the major health and social risk they pose. Drug abuse has long been associated with crime because its importation and distribution are illegal. Many addicted people turn to theft and prostitution to obtain money to buy the drug. In addition, violent competition between drug dealers has resulted in many murders and the deaths of innocent bystanders. Stay away and don't attempt to take such drugs – because of the genetic difference a single gram can get you addicted and destroy your life. These are just some of the health and social effects they pose. Don't give up on trying to get the help you deserve. Many people do not realize that wrongly using street drugs is a fatal clinical disease, not a moral or character booster. If possible, keep the lines of communication open with your family, co-workers and neighbours as they will most likely be willing to help you... even if you don't think they will now. Use the resources available to you. The more you know and understand, the more the addiction will feel manageable and your confidence in your ability to fight the addiction will increase. Just don't give up! Author: Emeka Baldeh |

1 Sing, O barren one who did not bear; burst into song and shout, you who have not been in labor! For the children of the desolate woman will be more than the children of her that is married, says the Lord. | 1 "Sing, O barren woman, you who never bore a child; burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband," says the LORD. |
2 Enlarge the site of your tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; do not hold back; lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes. | 2 "Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. |
3 For you will spread out to the right and to the left, and your descendants will possess the nations and will settle the desolate towns. | 3 For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities. |
4 Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed; do not be discouraged, for you will not suffer disgrace; for you will forget the shame of your youth, and the disgrace of your widowhood you will remember no more. | 4 "Do not be afraid; you will not suffer shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated. You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood. |
5 For your Maker is your husband, the Lord of hosts is his name; the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer, the God of the whole earth he is called. | 5 For your Maker is your husband-- the LORD Almighty is his name-- the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth. |
6 For the Lord has called you like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, like the wife of a man's youth when she is cast off, says your God. | 6 The LORD will call you back as if you were a wife deserted and distressed in spirit-- a wife who married young, only to be rejected," says your God. |
7 For a brief moment I abandoned you, but with great compassion I will gather you. | 7 "For a brief moment I abandoned you, but with deep compassion I will bring you back. |
8 In overflowing wrath for a moment I hid my face from you, but with everlasting love I will have compassion on you, says the Lord, your Redeemer. | 8 In a surge of anger I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you," says the LORD your Redeemer. |
9 This is like the days of Noah to me: Just as I swore that the waters of Noah would never again go over the earth, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you and will not rebuke you. | 9 "To me this is like the days of Noah, when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth. So now I have sworn not to be angry with you, never to rebuke you again. |
10 For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed, says the Lord, who has compassion on you. | 10 Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD, who has compassion on you. |
11 O afflicted one, storm-tossed, and not comforted, I am about to set your stones in antimony, and lay your foundations with sapphires. | 11 "O afflicted city, lashed by storms and not comforted, I will build you with stones of turquoise, your foundations with sapphires. |
12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of jewels, and all your wall of precious stones. | 12 I will make your battlements of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones. |
13 All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the prosperity of your children. | 13 All your sons will be taught by the LORD, and great will be your children's peace. |
14 In righteousness you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you. | 14 In righteousness you will be established: Tyranny will be far from you; you will have nothing to fear. Terror will be far removed; it will not come near you. |
15 If anyone stirs up strife, it is not from me; whoever stirs up strife with you shall fall because of you. | 15 If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing; whoever attacks you will surrender to you. |
16 See it is I who have created the smith who blows the fire of coals, and produces a weapon fit for its purpose; I have also created the ravager to destroy. | 16 "See, it is I who created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its work. And it is I who have created the destroyer to work havoc; |
17 No weapon that is fashioned against you shall prosper, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, says the Lord. | 17 no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me," declares the LORD. |

File Sharing with Apollon and GiFT
The operators of the popular Internet-based file
sharing network, Kazaa, only provide software for
Windows systems, but the GiFT project brings
Kazaa support to Linux.
Kazaa [1], the popular Internetbased
file sharing network, has
the biggest user-base and offers
its users the widest range of services. So
far, Kazaa has owed its popularity to
Windows users – possibly due to the
prominence of illegal copies of expensive
software packages, which are useless
to most Linux users. Additionally,
Kazaa makes it difficult for the Linux
community to join the network, as the
peer-to-peer software Kazaa provides is
restricted to Microsoft operating systems.
The GiFT project [2] now has a Linuxbased
plugin for users who want to
share files worldwide via Kazaa. The
plugin implements the Fasttrack protocol
used by Kazaa and
additionally supports
the Gnutella [3] file
sharing network. At the
same time, OpenFasttrack
provides an alternative
to Kazaa. There
is another plugin for
the Ares network [4],
and the GiFT homepage
also refers to plugins
for Napster [5],
Soulseek [6] and EDonkey
[7], which are
incomplete or no
longer support the current
version. Box 1 describes how to add

Maybe Jesus was the son of God. Maybe God did send himself to Earth with the intent of getting himself killed in order to satisfy his own blood lust, to make up for humanity's sins. It's also possible that Jesus was never a real person - either made up, or even mistaken for a real person from stories which never described a real person to begin with. If he was a real person, then he probably wasn't supernatural at all and simply pissed off the wrong guys and got totally pwned.

The National Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy (SANE) and American socialist Norman Thomas appeal to North Vietnamese President Ho Chi Minh on behalf of captured American pilots. The number of American captives was on the increase due to the intensification of Operation Rolling Thunder, the U.S. bombing campaign against North Vietnam. On July 15, 18 senators opposed to President Lyndon B. Johnson's Vietnam policy signed a statement calling on North Vietnam to "refrain from any act of vengeance against American airmen." The next day, the United Nations Secretary General also urged North Vietnam to exercise restraint in the treatment of American prisoners of war. On July 19, North Vietnamese ambassadors in Beijing and Prague asserted that the captured Americans would go on trial as war criminals. However, Ho Chi Minh subsequently gave assurances of a humanitarian policy toward the prisoners, in response, he said, to the appeal he received from SANE and Norman Thomas. Despite Ho's assurances, the American POWs were routinely mistreated and tortured. They were released in 1973 as part of the provisions of the Paris Peace Accords that were signed on January 27, 1973.

MCHS teacher, coach arrested Saturday
Tuesday, February 26, 2013
Craig A Moffat County High School teacher and coach was arrested Saturday at his home in the 800 block of Russell Street.
Casey John Kilpatrick, 30, of Craig, was booked into Moffat County Jail on suspicion of domestic violence, false imprisonment and several related misdemeanor charges. Formal charges have not yet been filed in Moffat County Court, according to court records.
Kilpatrick is an English teacher at MCHS. He also coaches boys golf and the speech and debate teams.
He declined to comment about the incident Tuesday. Kilpatrick's attorney said his client's arrest was the result of a misunderstanding stemming from a verbal altercation.
Thom Schnellinger, principal at MCHS, said Tuesday he was not aware of the alleged incident. He declined to comment, citing school district policy that doesn't permit public discussions about personnel matters.

Translate this page Five Warrior girls medal at league track and field meetThursday, June 13th, 2013 Issue 24, Volume 17.
Junior Amanda Williams was second in the shot put. Junior Sarah Grantham finished fourth in both hurdles races. Senior Shavonne Donoghue placed fourth in the pole vault and was followed by sophomores Mikala Tidd and Taryn Ransbury. The league meet was held at El Camino High School. Those with the top nine times or distances in each event during the May 7 preliminaries advanced to the May 10 finals. In the finals Williams threw the shot put 328", trailing only the 370" of El Caminos Kayleigh Helgesen. The league meet does not affect team standings â Fallbrook finished dual meet competition with a 1-4 league record and a 2-5 overall mark â but qualifying for the CIF meet is based on league meet results. The top two finishers in each event at the league meet earn entry into the CIF preliminaries, and anybody with a time or distance which meets CIF standards also automatically qualifies for the CIF meet. The next best marks at the league meet are used to round out the CIF meet fields of 27 competitors in each event. Freshman Hannah Niebel was Fallbrooks only other girl to qualify automatically for the CIF meet; although her time of 11:43.88 placed 14th in the 3,200-meter run (which did not have preliminaries) it bettered the CIF standard of 11:44. "She got in just under the standard. It was quite a race for her," said Fallbrook head coach Troy Hamlin. "There were numerous times when she could have fallen apart." Niebels time was also a personal record. Granthams time of 16.98 seconds in the 100-meter hurdles earned her an at-large invitation to the CIF meet. "Fourth place in her first year of 100-meter hurdling in our league is pretty impressive," Hamlin said. The automatic standard was 16.60 seconds. "She was pretty disappointed," Hamlin said. "She made one mistake towards the end." Grantham finished the 300-meter hurdles race in 49.10 seconds. The standard was 48.88 seconds, and she did not receive an at-large invitation. Donoghue, Tidd, and Ransbury all cleared 89"; the tiebreaking criteria of fewer misses at lower heights was used to determine the final positions. All three received at-large berths into the CIF meet. "Curran (assistant coach Jim Curran is in charge of the pole vaulters) had a pretty good year with his girls," Hamlin said. Senior Kathryn Markham qualified for the league finals in the long jump and ended her high school career with an eighth-place distance of 14 feet 9 1/2 inches. "She had a good ending to her season," Hamlin said. 0 comments Be the first to share your opinion on this article!

Whoopi Goldberg didn't have a good first day at her job as a beautician at a mortuary, where she was charged with sprucing up corpses. "I heard a sort of creaking. I turned round and one of the drawers was slowly opening," she said. "Then someone sat up and waved at me. Someone who should have been dead. [My boss] jumped out and said: "That's the worst thing that could ever happen to you here, and it won't. So there's nothing to be scared of.' I was fine after that." [Now Magazine]

Earlier this week, an anonymous veteran of the hedge fund world took to eBay to list the fleeces he'd picked up as an employee of several hedge funds that either have been or will soon be consigned to the scrap heap of corporate history: SAC Capital, SAC subsidiary Sigma Capital, Quadrum Capital, and Stratix. Seller "madinny" started the bidding at $1,500 for the entire lot, and then sat back and waited for the offers to roll in. Unfortunately, it appears that no one, not even the foremost collectors of hedge fund swag among us, would bite. So he did what any guy trying to unload Wall Street memorabilia at an admittedly steep price would do: He rummaged through his closet and came up with a couple items to sweeten the deal.
From a Q&A with another eBay member:
Q: A little pricey; does this include the in-tank shark as well?
A: If I had a Damien Hirst original the minimum would be a tad higher and I would be writing this from a beach somewhere, not freezing New York. I can throw in a Stratix sun visor and Lehman Brothers pen.
Obviously we'll continue to monitor the situation.
Earlier: SAC Fleeces! Get Yer SAC Fleeces!

"Q: Ja, hoi. Can you please lower the reserve a little bit? I am more than happy to start bidding at $20. Thanks, Maria Jan-06-14
A: I could have started with no minimum bid and a high reserve, but I just decided to start it at the lowest price I would sell them for. I actually like these a lot and would only sell for an amount I could do something nice with. As someone on DealBreaker noted I could use a new couch for instance. I have some nice Lehman Brother pens that might be more in your price range. " -
I thought the couch looked comfy, just not exactly Architectural Digest chic.

How bout a LexisNexis tote?
Stratix sun visor? TOTAL GAME CHANGER!
I have a slew of Lehman disaster kits.
In retrospect I should have been using them starting August of '08.
C'mon, Breaking Media. Loosen up the purse strings and buy them now. Then, distribute them to the best commenter.
GREAT idea.
Whew! For like, five minutes, there wasn't a #$%$ marriage story on the front page of Yahoo. I'm so relieved everything's back to normal.
Well Bess told me to talk to payroll and then payroll told me to talk to Bess and I still haven't received my paycheck and she took my stapler and she never brought it back and then they moved my desk to storage room B and there was garbage on it.
frikin classic!
distribute them to the best commenter.
Did Matt ask his bro Jason to list all this stuff on ebay because he left dealbreaker???
Things can't be that bad at your new gig, c'mon!

Global Location Number (GLN)
The Global Location Number can be used by companies to identify their locations, giving them complete flexibility to identify any type or level of location required.
The GLN can identify a company's physical locations, for example a store, a warehouse, or a berth in a port.
The GLN can be used to identify an organisation as a corporate entity.
The GLN can also identify a company's legal and functional entities engaging as parties in a particular business transaction, for example as buyer, seller, or carrier.
The GLN extension component can be added to a GLN to provide more precise recording and sharing of supply chain events. For example, an extension component may identify sub-locations such as storage bins, dock doors, scan and read points. Note that master data such as address and contact details can only be associated with The GLN, and not the extension component.
The GLN is encoded in either a bar code or EPC/RFID tag to automatically identify locations like storage places in a warehouse, the destination of a pallet, or the origin of a product.
The GLN can be used in electronic messages and registries to inform trading partners about companies and their corresponding GLNs and associated GLN information.
The GLN is also used by organisations in the public sector. In fact, various applications exist where governments use GLNs, either to identify their own agencies or to identify companies using central government databases.
Note: GLN is fully compatible with ISO standard 6523. The international code designator (ICD) for the GLN is '0088'.

Contract Deadline: New Free Agents
When the deadline for offering contracts passed last night, four new free agents were created.
The Pirates offered contracts to pitcher Jeff Karstens and SS Ronny Cedeno, both as expected. But they elected not to tender contracts to pitchers Donnie Veal and Brian Burres, SS Argenis Diaz, and OF Lastings Milledge.
Veal is still recovering from elbow surgery, and is expected to sign a minor league deal with the Pirates. Since he is going to have to spend some time in the minors when he returns anyway, this is not likely to affect his progress much. The other three are all free agents now.
Other notes: Former Pirate C Ronny Paulino was also non-tendered by the Marlins, and he also is now a free agent. Pittsburgh native INF Josh Wilson, who played for the Indy Indians in 2008, was resigned by the Mariners. (NOT Jack Wilson, who is also on the Mariners' roster.) OF Eric Hinske was signed as a free agent by the Braves. P Zach Duke signed a contract with the Diamondbacks, avoiding arbitration.
A Win For Dubee And Two Hits For Milledge and Cedeno
Cheering for the Pirates' players and friends in Thursday's winter league action:
Toros del Este 6, Tigres del Licey 0 — Los Tigres were shut-out on 6 hits. They had 2 runners on base in a few innings, but were never able to bring them around to score. New Pirate 1B Andy Marte did not start, but came in to play at first in the 5th inning. He bounced into a double play in the 6th, and was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the 9th. DH Ronny Paulino and LF Jake Fox were both hitless, though Fox walked in the 1st inning. Denny Bautista pitched the final inning for Los Tigres, and gave up 2 runs on a single, a walk, and a double. SS Pedro Ciriaco went 0-for-3 for Los Toros.
Gigantes del Cibao 3, Estrellas de Oriente 2 — Mike Dubee earned his second Dominican League win for los Gigantes with 1.1 scoreless innings of work. Each team started with a run in the 1st inning — on a homer for Los Estrellas and on a double, a bunt, and a sacrifice fly for Los Gigantes. After the homer, Los Gigantes' starter Roman Colon retired the next 10 batters in order. Dubee relieved Colon to begin the 5th inning. He gave up a double and a walk, but got out of the jam with a strikeout and a ground out. Dubee started the 6th inning with a fly out and a walk, then he was replaced by Juan Perez. Perez finished that inning, but gave up a run on a double and an error in the 7th. Los Gigantes' C JR House singled to lead off the 5th, then scored on a sacrifice bunt and a single. A solo homer gave Los Gigantes' one more run in the 6th. House also singled in the 2nd inning.
Criollos de Caguas 15, Indios de Mayaguez 2 — Los Criollos posted 21 hits and scored in all but one of the first 7 innings, including 4 in the 2nd and 5 in the 6th. SS Luis Figueroa singled and doubled and scored twice. 3B Ramon Vazquez singled twice and drove in 2 runs.
Leones de Ponce 3, Senadores de San Juan 0 — Another shut-out, as Los Senadores were held to just 2 hits. Starter Ben Snyder (Rangers, and Ball State University) gave up a walk in the 3rd inning, and lone singles in the 4th and 6th innings, as he pitched 7 innings for the win. RJ Rodriguez earned his 7th Save with a perfect 9th inning.
Cardenales de Lara 6, Tigres de Aragua 5 — A single, two walks, and a sacrifice fly gave Los Cardenales the go-ahead run in the top of the 8th, then held on for the win. Lara put up 13 hits, while Los Tigres had 7 hits, including 2 singles by SS Ronny Cedeno, and 2 doubles by LF Lastings Milledge. Lara scored 4 runs in the 3rd and one more in the 5th. Cedeno singled, stole second, and scored in the 1st inning. He singled again in the 6th to begin a rally. Two walks (one by C Hector Gimenez), a single, and Milledge's first double, brought in 3 runs for Los Tigres in that inning. Aragua tied the score in the 7th, on an error, a bunt by Cedeno, and an RBI single. That rally was cut short when Romulo Sanchez came on in relief for Lara and ended the inning with two strikeouts. Milledge doubled again in the 8th inning and stole third base, but was out at home on a fielder's choice.
Venados de Mazatlan 4, Tomateros de Culiacan 2 — LF Rogelios Noris led off the top of the 6th with his 5th double of the season for Los Venados. That sparked a 4-run rally, with three singles driving in three runs, and three walks forcing in a fourth run. Former Pirate SS Luis Cruz drove in Culiacan's runs with a 2-run homer in the 4th.
Claggett Wins Again; Singh Reappears
A few signing notes for some former Pirates — LHP Phil Dumatrait has signed a minor league contract with the Twins, and LHP Neal Cotts has signed a minor league contract with the Yankees. OF Rajai Davis was traded from the A's to the Blue Jays.
Sunday's winter league action involving a few Pirates' players and friends:
Aguilas Cibaenas 12, Tigres del Licey 1 — A 6-run 1st inning put the game into Los Aguilas' pocket right from the start. Starling Marte came into the game in the 5th inning as a pinch runner (he didn't score), then remained in the game in left field. He flied out in the 7th, then hit an RBI single in the 8th. Denny Bautista was one of the few Licey pitchers who held Los Aguilas scoreless, as he threw a perfect top of the 9th for Los Tigres. Indy area native Jake Fox went 0-for-4 for Los Tigres.
Tiburones de La Guaira 6, Tigres de Aragua 2 — Los Tiburones scored 5 runs over the first 3 innings, and Los Tigres could only manage 2 runs. In the top of the 1st, SS Ronny Cedeno followed a lead-off single with a sacrifice bunt, then another single brought in the first Aragua run. Their second run came in the 6th inning, when Cedeno led off with a double into left field, and a few minutes later, 1B Hector Gimenez doubled into right field, bringing in Cedeno. C Miguel Perez came in as a defensive replacement behind the plate, but flied out in his only plate appearance. CF Jorge Cortes went 0-for-3 with a walk. Former Pirate pitcher Chris Hernandez pitched the top of the 9th for La Guaira. He gave up a walk, but then got Cortes to bounce into a double play to end the game.
Cardenales de Lara 7, Navegantes del Magallanes 2 — Los Navegantes were also only able to put up 2 runs, one in the 2nd, and one in the 7th. SS Argenis Diaz contributed one of Los Navegantes' 5 hits, but he did not score. Corey Hamman pitched the 7th inning for Magallanes, and he gave up a solo home run.
Bravos de Margarita 2, Aguilas de Zulia 1 — Anthony Claggett won his second game in two days for Los Bravos, this time with one scoreless inning of work (it was 1.1 innings yesterday). Los Bravos scored one run in the bottom of the 4th on a double, a single, and a grounder. Los Aguilas tied the score in the top of the 6th, also with a single and a double. Claggett took the mound to begin the 7th. He gave up a lead-off single, then retired the next three batters he faced. In the bottom of the inning, Los Bravos scored the go-ahead run on a single, a bunt, a wild pitch, and a sacrifice fly. That made Claggett the pitcher of record. Ronald Belisario pitched a perfect 9th inning for Margarita to collect his 10th save of the season.
Claggett's First Win
Looking in on the Pirates' players and friends in Saturday's winter league action…
Criollos de Caguas 2, Gigantes de Carolina 1 — A low-hitting game, and Caguas scored their 2 runs in the bottom of the 7th on two singles and some mistakes by Los Gigantes. With the first two batters on base, SS Luis Figueroa bunted both into scoring position. That put the runner on third base in position to score on a wild pitch. Ramon Vazquez reached base on a fielding error at second base, which let the second run score. Another wild pitch and a walk put two runners on base again, but no more runs scored. Los Criollos also loaded the bases in the 3rd, on singles by Figueroa and Vazquez and a walk, and a walk and two more singles loaded the bases in the 6th, but both times the bases were left loaded. Vazquez also walked in the 1st inning. Los Gigantes' only run came in the 5th, on a single, a double by Luis Matos, and a sacrifice fly.
Navegantes del Magallanes 4, Tigres de Aragua 0 — Los Tigres could not score despite 7 hits and 2 walks. RF Alex Romero had 3 of those 7 hits, and 1B Hector Gimenez had a single. SS Ronny Cedeno, CF Jorge Cortes, and C Raul Chavez were all hitless in the game. Los Navegantes scored all 4 of their runs in the top of the 2nd, on a solo homer, followed by four singles. Corey Hamman pitched to one batter in the 6th, and gave up a single. Two more walks loaded the bases for Magallanes, but the runners were left stranded. Jean Machi pitched the 9th inning for Magallanes and gave up the single to Gimenez, but a double play erased Gimenez and ended the game.
Bravos de Margarita 6, Aguilas del Zulia 4 — Anthony Claggett earned his first Venezuelan League win with 1.1 scoreless innings for Margarita. Los Bravos scored first, with a run in the bottom of the 1st, and Los Aguilas tied the score with one run in the top of the 2nd. Zulia scored 2 more runs in the top of the 3rd on two walks and three singles, and Claggett was brought into the game with 2 runs in, one out, and the bases loaded. he faced just one batter, and got the double play to end the inning. Los Bravos' batters responded with 4 runs in the bottom of the 4th, on 4 singles, a walk, and a bases-clearing 3-RBI double. That gave Los Bravos the lead, which they would not give up, and Claggett was the pitcher of record. He began the top of the 4th with two outs, then a throwing error and a single put two runners on for Los Aguilas. Claggett was relieved at that point, but those runners did not score. Ronald Belisario earned his 9th save for Margarita.
A Little Winter League Hitting
Cheering for Pirates' players and friends in a few winter league games on Friday…
Tigres de Aragua 4, Cardenales de Lara 1 — Aragua starting pitcher Yorman Bazardo pitched 8 innings and allowed only one run on 7 hits, earning his 5th win for Los Tigres. That one run came in the 9th, on a bases-loaded ground out. Los Tigres scored their first run in the 4th on a walk and a double. They added 2 more runs in the 5th. After a pair of walks, CF Jorge Cortes bunted both runners up one base, then an RBI double brought both runs in. 1B Hector Gimenez started a 2-out rally in the 8th with a walk, followed by two singles, which brought in Gimenez. Gimenez also singled in the 6th inning, and Cortes walked in the 7th. SS Ronny Cedeno went 0-for-4 for Aragua.
The rest of Friday's Venezuelan League games were all postponed.
Criollos de Caguas 17, Gigantes de Carolina 4 — Los Criollos posted 20 hits and took advantage of 3 Carolina errors as they overwhelmed Los Gigantes. DH Javier Valentin had 4 hits for Los Criollos. 3B Ramon Vazquez contributed a hit and an RBI, and scored one run. SS Luis Figueroa had a hit and a walk, and he scored twice. Both Vazquez's hit and Figueroa's walk came in Caguas' 7-run 3rd inning.
Leones del Escogido 3, Gigantes del Cibao 1 — Former Pirate farmhand C JR House had one hit for Los Gigantes, but he was lifted for a pinch-hitter in a critical situation in the 8th inning (despite his .375 average). The pinch-hitter was able to knock an RBI single, accounting for Los Gigantes' only run. Los Leones scored on a solo homer in the 3rd, then added 2 runs in the 7th inning. Former Altoona Curve and Indy Indian SS Pedro Lopez had 2 hits for Escogido, but did not score. One more former Pirate farmhand, Gigantes' reliever Juan Perez, pitched to one batter in the 8th inning, and got a ground out.
Caneros de Los Mochis 3, Venados de Mazatlan 2 — LF Rogelios Noris' single in the 2nd inning loaded the bases for Los Venados, then a walk forced in the first run of the game. Mochis took the lead with 2 runs in the 6th and another run in the 7th. Mazatlan added one more run in the bottom of the 7th with a single, a throwing error, and an RBI ground out, but they couldn't catch up.
(Early Sat. Morning)
Adelaide Bite 4, Perth Heat 2 (Game 1) — The Bite cruised through their opening series of the season, then ran into trouble with the Heat. They split the 4-game series last weekend in Perth, and when the two teams resumed play in Adelaide this weekend, Perth easily took the first two games of this series. This morning, the Bite salvaged a split of this series also, with a win of a double-header. There was only one inning of scoring in Game One. A single and a two-run homer gave Perth the lead in the top of the 4th inning. The Bite came back in the bottom of the 4th. Two walks, a grounder force out, and a third walk loaded the bases for RF Brendon Pett, who took the lead with a grand slam. A walk and a single followed the homer, but LF Quincy Latimore bounced into an inning-ending double play. Latimore singled in the 1st and walked in the 3rd, but both times was left on base.
Bite 11, Heat 4 (Game 2) — Adelaide's Dushan Ruzic pitched a complete game in the night-cap, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits and 2 walks, while striking out 8 Perth batters. Ruzic faced only one batter over the minimum for the first 3 innings (fielding error), then got out of a 4th inning jam with a double play. Ruzic got plenty of run support, beginning with a 6-run 3rd inning by the Bite. Two singles and an error brought in the first run, and a walk and a double added the second run. LF Quincy Latimore smacked a 3-run homer over the left-center field wall to give the Bite a 5-0 lead. The next batter after Latimore was hit by a pitch, prompting the ejection of the Perth pitcher. A walk, a single, and a sacrifice fly brought in the 6th run of the inning. Perth scored 2 runs in each of the 5th and the 6th innings. The Bite matched the 2 runs in the 5th on a 2-RBI double. In the bottom of the 6th, two lead-off singles, one by Latimore, set up C Brandon Bantz for his 3-run homer. Latimore's batting average sits at .400 and he leads the league with 5 homers and 16 RBI.

I tried the wild fermented cucumbers today. There's been minimal residue on top of the water, nothing that could not be removed with a quick wipe with a paper towel. What this means is that the lacto bacterial flora I am after is healthy and thriving, with the nasties beaten into submission.
The pickles will still need some time, but the sourness is definitely developing. There's already a depth of flavour that's promising great things to come.

The Tea Party movement has become the surprise top headline in this year's election season. Former GOP House Majority Leader Dick Armey, one of the influential leaders of the movement, suggests the group will play a major role in shaping the future of the Republican Party.
Grassroots groups like the Tea Party are "going to have a very active role in examining the Republican selection process and guiding it in the direction of a bona fide, reliable conservative," Armey told the Charlottesville Libertarian Examiner.
He has written a new book Give Us Liberty: A Tea Party Manifesto.
Armey talked more about his book and the Tea Party's victory in Tuesday's primaries on the Sept. 15 edition of the CBNNewschannel's Morning News. Click play to watch.

NEW YORK, NY, June 1, 2011 -- Hundreds of library lovers, joined by library supporters in the City Council, rallied on the steps of City Hall on May 26 to push back on proposed budget cuts to Queens Library.
Leading the rally was Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer, chairman of the Council Committee on Cultural Affairs & Libraries. Speakers included council member Vincent Gentile, chairman of the Council Subcommittee on Libraries; council member Leroy Comrie, Queens Delegation Leader; and Local 1321 President John Hyslop. They all expressed their support and admiration for the value that Queens Library adds to the community."New Yorkers deserve well-funded libraries," said council member Jimmy Van Bramer (D- 26th District). "Throughout the five boroughs, libraries are an integral part of our education system, providing adult literacy programs and countless educational opportunities for children. The proposed cuts are the most severe our public libraries have ever seen and would have a devastating effect on quality of life across the City of New York. I will continue to work with colleagues in the City Council, advocates, and community leaders to restore as much of this vital funding as possible.""Continuing to fund local libraries means we continue to believe in the future of New York City, the literacy of its children, the strength of its neighborhoods and the importance of technology in every person's quality of life. I believe the Mayor and City Council must pass a budget that keeps one eye on today's financial needs and another on the brightness of the city's future, and only a budget the maintains our present library resources and access can accomplish that," said council member Vincent Gentile."The City Council is committed to protecting our libraries," said councilman Domenic M. Recchia, Jr., chairman of the Finance Committee. "Cutting libraries would be devastating for communities, because it would mean job losses, as well as the loss of programs important to New Yorkers, like after-school activities and services for people seeking employment. We intend to fight to ensure our libraries across New York City get the support they need." New York City's Executive Budget calls for a cut to Queens Library of $25.3 million in FY '12. It would mean reducing library service to the lowest levels ever; lower than the fiscal crises of the 1970s and 1990s or even the Great Depression.
- Layoff of 471 staff who provide critical information services to the community- 48 libraries would be closed four or five days per week- Only 13 libraries would be open five days per week, Monday through Friday- Central Library would be the only library open on Saturdays- No Sunday library service in Queens at all- People in Queens would have HALF the access to borrow materials, use computers, attend programs, get homework help, ask for job information, and other important library services.Queens Library is an independent, not-for-profit corporation and is not affiliated with any other library. Queens Library serves a population of 2.3 million in the most ethnically diverse county in the U.S. With 23 million items in circulation for FY 2010, the Library has among the highest circulations of any public library system in the world. For more information about programs, services, locations, events, and news, visit the Queens Library website at www.queenslibrary.org or call 718-990-0700.

Beloved fashion designer Alexander McQueen has never disappointed fashionistas. His design house has created some very bizarre designs, and this pair of Alexander McQueen alien heels are no exception.
Inspired by H.R. Giger's 'Alien,' these pumps stand very tall with creepy detailing of scaly slithering skin in a silver metallic finish. The front platform of the heel resembles either an alien's spooky mouth and teeth or the insides of its rib cage. Then again, I've never seen a real alien so I cannot say, but either way, these Alexander McQueen alien heels are pretty out of this world.

Comments about Baudville Crystal Apple Trophy:
We use these Crystal Apple Trophies as 10 year anniversary recongition trophies. They match our preschool logo perfectly. They are professional looking, classy, and make a great keepsake; not something you set aside or throw away. The proof department worked with us to make sure the wording and text placement were exactly how we wanted it. The only thing I would MAYBE change would be the color of the text. The white is beautiful, but unless the trophy is placed against a dark background, the text is hard to see.We will be using these again when we have more 10 year anniversaries!

This application only applies to MICROMASTER 4 with Firmware < V4.0
PID controllers are used to control a wide range of process quantities. A typical application is a closed-loop level control for a cooling water reservoir. With this application, the water level must be kept constant in the reservoir, independent of the amount of water flowing into the reservoir. This means that the speed of the pump must be adapted according to the quantity of the water that flows into the reservoir order to pump-out the appropriate quantity of water. The actual water level in the reservoir is detected using a filling level sensor. Two pump operating modes should be provided - "automatic" and "manual". The mode is selected using a digital input, whereby the changeover between the operating modes is to be realized flying without shutting down the pump.

Verified Purchase
It's an extremely good concept, but Pentel needed to think this over...
what needs to be fixed- _the "wing grip" needs to stay in place, like using a screw. the wing mech in this pencil doesn't hold up to much pressure. _the "wing grip" needs to be a soft grip, and the whole mech needs to be more flexible- like having a spring or something _the gripped barrel needs to be smaller, the tip/body needs to be weighted... I thought the shaft was metal, but it isn't obviously. This pencil has so much potential, but it kinda fails. =/ I'd suggest you buy it and play around with it. The pencil removes fatigue, and it actually makes writing "easier." It can fit to any hand actually with the wing grip, but the grip itself doesn't flex or hold well. If it were more flexible, instead of "tying down" your hand/movement, then the pencil would be easier to use. Frankly, because it's hard to hold, hand writing/drawing suffer a lot because you need "extra" coordination to control the pencil. Despite my pessimistic view of this pencil, it's still something to enjoy (hence the 3/5). 1 person found this helpful

Verified Purchase
I don't know what the review below me is saying... but this pencil is worth $15.
Compared to many pencils that I've had, this one actually fits perfectly. It's very easy to hold, writes smoothly, and the "grip" fits to your hand. It's not as "comfy" as an alpha gel slim, but this fits better than many drafting pencils I've tried (in this price range). The tip is placed exactly where I like it, and it's easy to hold firmly due to friction. It also has perfect weight- a little more than an alpha gel slim, but it's great that way. The pencil makes writing and drawing much easier. The design is perfect "for me" since I can just place it in my hand without having to change shape or add much pressure. Overall, especially if you like alpha gels, give this a try. You won't regret it. |

btw, this pencil has the BEST balance out of all the alpha gels I've had.
It also has the best firmness for it's size. It's not too squishy but it's not OVERLY squishy either. It's one of the best slim pencils I've tried (it even replaces many drafting pencils). (just my 2 cents again) @the one below me are you sure? cause this does come in a white barrel+orange grip, and the lead is supposed to be .3... (although .5 is better imo) |

an eraser that pretty much speaks for itself. (esp on the box)...
but, it's smaller than it looks in the pic. You'll have it for a long time though, even if you erase A WHOLE LOT. It also doesn't take much to erase. it's worth you buck |

AWESOME CASE... hahaha

AWESOME CASE... hahaha
This pencil case is probably one of the best I've had and seen. considering the price... It's pretty pricy, but it will last a long time. It's not as big as the neocritz, if you have one. It can fit about 6 pens/pencils, an eraser, and a lead container. very durable, keeps its shape, great material/workmanship, scuffs and marks wipe off... just a great case to throw anywhere... literally. 3 people found this helpful

Verified Purchase
A pencil worth your money. The design, balance, and shape make the pencil
comfortable. It also improves your handwriting if it's rather jerky. Read the
other reviews cause they say exactly what I would say. I don't like the eraser
though, but that's the only problem I have.
March 14, 2010
awesome pencil. I like...
awesome pencil. I like the .3 more than the .5 actually, but the .3 is really
scratchy sometimes. The .3 lead is also hard to find since I don't order online
often. I also wish they had a better eraser that didn't crumble. However, it's
perfect for drawing or writing. (I have this in .5, and another one in .3)

Verified Purchase
its great- it holds lots of pens- it was bigger than I expected, and it was
really cool. It has some pouches, but idt it can hold a large eraser at the
front. The color is ok, not too bright or dark.... it keeps pens safe. Great for
artists and students
It's also fitting for penspinning too! |

Almost every modern Syncrolift® in service supports an adjacent multi-berth facility. More berths mean more earning power and dry berths can be easily added. The only real constraint on any installation is the size of the ships to be docked and the total available space. As each shipyard has its own unique environment, layout and operating requirements there is no 'standard design'. Rolls-Royce will select the system that maximises earning potential and provide a cost effective turnkey solution.
Rolls-Royce offer various levels of through-life support for each Syncrolift installation and operate a worldwide 5 star maintenance programme. Customer can select the programme that suits them best.
1 STAR - Annual Inspection (A.I)
2 STAR - A.I. Plus Site Supervision of Key Annual Maintenance.
3 STAR - A.I. Plus 2 STAR Level Key Annual Maintenance.
4 STAR - 3 STAR with Increased Level Semi-Annual Maintenance.
5 STAR - Complete Maintenance Responsibility
Rolls-Royce maintains a large field support staff of engineers. This staff is on call 24 hours a day, and ready to be dispatched to any Syncrolift installation, usually within 24 hours. These engineers are available for training, retraining, inspection, repair, testing and start-up services.
Each time we deliver a shiplift, we prepare a set of manuals that are unique to that Syncrolift installation. An identical copy of these manuals is maintained in Annapolis so that any question can be dealt with by people on two ends of a telephone or email, dealing with identical instructions. This often saves the need for a field trip.
Often it is necessary for a shipyard to dock an unusual vessel, one that does not match the exact limitations of the shiplift. It is very common for the shipyard to query our engineering department for an opinion or methodology to accommodate these odd vessels. We welcome such queries, and answers are provided quickly and completely.
Rolls-Royce maintains comprehensive records of every installation including detailed service records. We provide a complete spare parts and servicing function and will be pleased to quote on various levels of maintenance contracts. A planned maintenance service can be provided on request and a number of clients employ Rolls-Royce to undertake regular routine inspections.
Occasionally a customer requires assistance in selling an existing Syncrolift shiplift, either because he is discontinuing operations or is planning a larger shiplift. We have provided this service several times.

I'm stuck. I seem to have a big problem with getting phals to rebloom after the blooms fall off (they are always blooming when I buy them). I had a phal years ago and when the store-bought blooms fell off I cut the flower spike down to the first node and it bloomed again. When those blooms fell off, I cut the flower spike down at the base (I had heard to only cut the spike partway down once. Is this true or can you keep cutting down to the next node?), and it never bloomed again.
Fast forward to my second phal purchase. When its store-bought blooms fell off I thought to myself "No problem, I've gotten this far before. I'll just cut to the first node and it will bloom again". A couple days later I noticed that the stem had turned brown and woody where I had cut it, so I cut it down to the next node thinking maybe I had cut it too close. The same thing happened. I have been staring at this naked stem for months now, afraid to do anything with it. I realize now that the poor thing needs more light and I have moved it to a south facing window, but I don't know what to do with the spike. Do I leave it alone? (The little bit of stem above the node is dead, but the node itself is still green.) Do I cut down to the next node? Or do I go for broke, cut to the base and hope for the best? |
Follow-Up Postings:
There are some Phals that will bloom and bloom for years if you cut down to a node and then cut to another node and then cut.....But the result is not beautiful. There are some exceptions such as some of the species but for the general run of hybrids you are better off cutting the spike off at the base and with good culture getting the plant to grow a new spike. Google the Canadian Orchid Congress for a complete set of culture notes. |

Note: the open toe model is not available in petite lengths. Mediven Sheer & Soft are the sheerest medical compression stockings on the market. They are preferred four to one by compression stocking wearers. In addition to being the sheerest, independent studies found them softer and and more durable. Unlike many sheer stockings, these stockings do not utilize silicone on their yarns permitting added breathability and improved moisture regulation making them cooler and dryer than the leading competition. The following are the corresponding Mediven catalog numbers for ease of cross-referencing:39401, 39402, 39403, 39404, 39405, 39406, 39407, 39451, 39452, 39453, 39454, 39455, 39456, 39457, 39481, 39482, 39483, 39484, 39485, 39486, 39487

7/16" Crown x 2-1/4" Leg Galvanized Q Series Staple by SureFit
One of the greatest parts about weekends is having the chance to renovate your home. Whether you're putting up new crown molding in the kitchen, building a new patio, or simply building a book case for the living room, one thing is for sure, a nail gun is going to save you a lot of time and energy. Before you begin using one, safety must be of the utmost importance, which means that knowing how to use a nail gun is of utmost importance. Below we've walked you through the basic instructions of how to use two of the most common types of nail guns.
To use a strip nailer begin by pulling back the magazine follower to prepare for loading then insert proper nails into the magazine. Some nail guns load from the top while others load from the rear. After inserting nails, release the magazine follower to allow for tension on the nails. Now is when you will want to attach your air line to the gun.
To fire, most nailers will require the safety to be depressed onto your application while pulling the trigger at the same time.
Two modes of operation are available, bump fire and sequential operation. Bump firing will eliminate the need to release and pull the trigger each time.
Most but not all nailers feature an adjustable depth of drive. This allows for flush driving or countersink.
To use a coil nailer, begin by opening the magazine basket and front door latch. Inside of the basket will be an adjustable nail tray. Be sure to set the tray for the length of fastener you are using, this will allow for optimal performance.
Insert nails in the magazine basket. Towards the nose of the tool you will find a feed pawl. The feed pawl guides nails into the chamber. Be sure to align the collation wire and nail head into the proper grooves.
Close magazine basket and door latch, attach your air line and follow the same steps as listed above in order to fire.

Stadium Theatre, ca. 1927 |
When the Stadium Building and Theatre opened in 1926, all hailed "A landmark in the progress of Woonsocket." Local developer Arthur Darman intended the Stadium to be as much a civic monument as a commercial enterprise. The new facility featured a deluxe movie house designed by architects Perry & Whipple of Providence, as well as an office building and a parking lot—the city's first.
The theatre offered comfortable seats, spacious circulation areas, and elegant decoration—devised by designers Watts & Hutton of Providence and Abraham Anthony of Boston. Crowds thronged to the Stadium for live performances, feature films, and newsreels—accompanied by a twelve-piece orchestra and a Wurlitzer organ. Darman explained that "Rich people can go to New York for amusement. I want the working man to be able to get just as good right here at home." In 1976, the Stadium Building and Theatre was listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
The marquee went dark at the Stadium in 1985, and it seemed like the theatre was closed for good. Six years later, local activists organized the "Save Our Stadium" campaign to secure a future for the beloved theatre. The Stadium Theatre Foundation purchased the theatre in 1998 and funded its dramatic restoration, overseen by architect Daniel Peloquin and Canning Studios. You may remember that the last time the Stadium hosted the Rhode Island Statewide Historic Preservation Conference (in 2000) the walls of the auditorium were covered in scaffolding. The Stadium reopened in 2001.
With its wide array of cultural events and educational programming, the Stadium Theatre Performing Arts Centre is the largest performing arts organization in northern Rhode Island. An architectural and cultural landmark, the Stadium Theatre is critical to the revitalization of Downtown Woonsocket.
Official Greetings
The conference gets underway with remarks from Woonsocket Mayor Leo T. Fontaine and Maia Farish of Roger Williams University.
The Opening Session is sponsored by Roger Williams University School of Architecture, Art and Historic Preservation.

Angel's Halo Bicycle Helmet Looks Dumb, Ironically Keeps You from Going to Heaven Prematurely
Why is it that so many of the things with life-saving potential look so silly? Take, for instance, this bicycle helmet that lights up like a halo. The Angel Bicycle Helmet not only protects your noggin from injury with its polycarbonate shell, it's got a 360-degree ring of LED and fiber-optic encircling your head.
The USB-rechargeable halo can be set to constant-on, or to flash on a regular basis. Sure, your bike might already have LED front and rear lights, but drivers coming from anywhere other than head-on or behind you might not see you – making dark intersections especially dangerous. With this bright yellow halo wrapped around your dome, there's no way that drivers will miss you. Of course, they might point and laugh – resulting in a different kind of safety risk – driver distraction. At least they'll have a good laugh before they crash.
You can find the Angel Bicycle Helmet over at Firebox for £49.99 (appx. $83 USD).
