SEMPRUS BIOSCIENCES APPOINTS ALONZO D. COOK, Ph.D. GROUP LEADER, RESEARCH
CAMBRIDGE, MA – (September 20, 2011) – Semprus BioSciences today announced the appointment of Alonzo (Lon) D. Cook, Ph.D., to the newly-created post of Group Leader, Research, effective immediately. In this role, Dr. Cook will manage the company's pipeline as it expands its Semprus Sustain™ Technology beyond its initial product, a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC).
Semprus BioSciences is a venture-funded biomedical company whose proprietary rationally designed polymeric system organizes, manages and harnesses water molecules on a medical device surface. This system creates a highly non-fouling performance that significantly reduces attachment of proteins, cells, bacteria and other biological matter. The company's products are designed to reduce the 56,000 preventable annual U.S. deaths and $11.2 billion cost of infection and thrombus-related complications1 that often arise when medical devices are implanted in the body.
Prior to accepting his position at Semprus BioSciences, Dr. Cook held the position of Manager, Technology Assessment at Advanced Technologies and Regenerative Medicine, LLC, at Johnson and Johnson. There, he led the technology evaluation process for key strategic initiatives in the fields of regenerative medicine, orthobiologics, local drug delivery and implanted medical devices. His career at Johnson and Johnson spanned 8 years and also included working for DePuy Biologics. From 1996-2003, Dr. Cook held a variety of key research management positions with W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc., developing medical devices, and patented technology for hydrophilic coatings and attachment of active biologics to surfaces.
"Lon brings a valuable and learned perspective to our world class team," said Semprus Chief Technology Officer, Christopher Loose, Ph.D. "We are eager for Lon to use his expertise in identifying and developing our pipeline for our proprietary Semprus Sustain™ platform."
Dr. Cook holds a B.S. and M.S. degree in Chemical Engineering from Brigham Young University. He earned his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering with Robert Langer, Sc.D., from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with a thesis topic entitled "The Evaluation of Poly(lactic acid-co-lysine) as a Bioresorbable Scaffold for Cell Transplantation."
Dr. Cook has been a member of the Society for Biomaterials and several National Science Foundation-sponsored advisory boards. He holds numerous honors and professional awards; most recently earning the Johnson & Johnson Global Leadership Profile Award. His research has been published in several prestigious refereed journals, including the Journal of Biomedical Materials Research and Journal of Biomaterials Applications, and he holds several biomaterial patents in the U.S. and abroad.

text: Hoosiers Show Concern for Clean Water as 150 Join Ride the River 2000 The Sierra Club's weeklong Ride the River 2000 canoe event on central Indiana's White River ended on June 11 in Broad Ripple Park in Indianapolis, the site of its symbolic beginning six days earlier. Building on the success of the first Ride the River two years ago, which went from Broad Ripple on the north side of Indianapolis to the mouth of Fall Creek downtown, this year's trip planners made the ambitious decision to float all the river possible, from its source in Randolph County back to the starting point of the original Ride the River event. Media coverage was good on Monday morning, June 5, as those planning to make the whole trip met at the park to explain the journey's purpose and itinerary. Earlier, an advance article in the Indianapolis Star and a very early Saturday morning talk show explained the trip to citizens who hadn't heard about it through Sierra Club publications. We took this opportunity to show off a brand new Loon 160T tandem kayak, which was donated by the Old Town Canoe Company, their regional distributor the Great Northern Company, and their local supplier Galyan's. We planned to raffle off the kayak in support of the event. It became the '"pace car" of Ride the River 2000, and its owner-to-be could claim that it had made the entire floatable length of the White River to Indianapolis. '"Through trippers" described to the press what they expected to see and learn on the 95-mile trip. Though all who started expected to have fun, fun was just half of the trip's purpose. Underlying the adventure were the desires to emphasize the river's condition and threats, and to encourage citizens to take responsibility in demanding its protection. The White River experienced a devastating chemical spill and consequent massive fish kill in December 1999, which virtually eliminated fish for a 50-mile stretch. Our trip was to take us past the '"scene of the crime" four days later. Many people are still afraid to go near the river. Though the threats still exist, the river is recovering. For many, the White River has become the poster child for Indiana's threatened rivers. From Indianapolis north to its source, the White River is the unwelcome recipient of pollution legally released by holders of National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits, of which there are more than 150. Each permit allows its holder to discharge an amount of pollutant. However, no cumulative information is available from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM)--the permit issuers--to tell citizens the amount allowed at any given point. The Sierra Club compiled and distributed, both to participants and to people who came to meet us along the way, over 100 packets with data gleaned from IDEM Web pages on expired permits and violations along the upper White River. These packets included fact sheets about the river's threats, including agricultural runoff, failing septic systems, sanitary sewer overflows, and siltation. After leaving Broad Ripple Park, the through trippers and some supporters drove to the river's source a few miles south of Winchester in Randolph County. There we saw a small field tile with a slight but steady flow that created a stream we could step across without getting wet. This was the source of Indiana's White River. We drove to a park in nearby Winchester, crossing the river at least three times on the way, to see it as it grows with the added volume of contributing streams. Though it suffers some abuse even to get that far, the river on this day was running strong and clear. We drove to County Road 1250W to put in at the bridge there, a site called Crystal Pool by the locals. After lots of unloading, supply shuffling, and canoe toting, we were on our way! There seemed to be enough water to float our crafts, but we soon found ourselves stepping out of the boats numerous times as we floated to Boy Scout Camp Redwing, inside Delaware County. If weather was the primary determinant of what kind of day we had, it was miserable! Rain, drizzle, rain, cold wind, rain, low water--did I mention rain? Fortunately, newfound friends, the exuberance of the adventure ahead, and the fun of paddling on a wild river carried the day. Wet and cold, 12 of us arrived at Camp Redwing to find members of the Sierra Club's Five Rivers Group waiting with dinner, blankets, and rides to the showers. The night passed with talk by a large fire in front of a rack of drying clothes. Tuesday started early with a short float through Muncie. Part way there we stopped in Muncie's Tuhey Park for lunch and enjoyed the first in a series of beautiful, sunny days. Across the river from our resting spot was the Cardinal Trail, a rail-trail with beautiful river overlooks. We pushed off and stopped again south of downtown Muncie to give two '"Friend of the River" awards. The first went to John Craddock, longtime river advocate in Muncie. The other went to the Minnetrista Center for its enlightened landscaping along the river. The awards and our trip were covered on the front page of the Muncie Star Press the next morning. The trip through Muncie was beautiful, with human use mostly restricted to the north bank and with the river left mostly wild on the south side. In Muncie we carried, dragged, lifted, lowered, and in a few cases, floated our boats over five dams. A final push took us to the home of Robert and Susan Guillaud well before dark, where John and Susan Taylor were waiting with a great hot meal. Muncie balladeer Mike McKillip came by to perform his music. We retreated to our tents in the Guillaud's backyard high above the river. An Indianapolis Star reporter and photographer joined us for most of the trip on Tuesday, and a great article was published in the Star on Friday, explaining the trip's purpose and describing what we had seen. Three weeks earlier, another thorough article in the Star had shown our route and encouraged a number of our through trippers to join us. A longer trip was scheduled for Wednesday, so with an early start we took off for Mounds State Park, 17 miles away. We stopped for lunch at Canoe Country, a Daleville canoe livery. The owner moved a picnic table closer for our use and provided rides to the facilities. We pushed off toward Mounds and arrived after just over four hours of paddling, a remarkable 4 miles per hour. Along the way, as every day, we saw dozens of turtles, a few snakes, and lots of small fish along the banks. Evidence of small mammals was wherever sand or mud held their tracks. Sadly, the tire count was rising faster than the animal count, and the term '"used appliance dropoff area" was being used instead of '"bridge." Wednesday night was spent at Mounds State Park. Though individuals joined and left each day, by now we had about 20 paddling with us and were joined by others for dinner and a spirited frisbee session. Thursday was a short day, about 8 miles. It was punctuated by a stop at Anderson's Edgewater Park for lunch arranged by our partners, White River Watchers, who had also organized the previous night's meal. The Anderson newspaper sent a reporter to talk to us, and we appeared on the front page of the Herald-Bulletin the next morning. It used a great photo of us paddling close together after leaving the park. Midafternoon we passed the Anderson Wastewater Treatment Plant where less than 6 months earlier the disastrous discharge occurred. We saw a small band of white foam shoot out of the discharge pipe about two-thirds across the river. The foam dissipated quickly and had a detergent-like odor. As we floated by, I talked by cell phone with George McLaren, the Star reporter who had joined us for Tuesday. A whole article could be written about our Thursday stopping point and its owners, Zoey and John Johnson. Earlier we had given our third Friend of the River award to the Johnsons, long-time river advocates who put action behind words of respect for the river. Their riverfront, weekend property is a beautiful sight. A clean pond, an area set aside for native Americans' use, trails, and a lack of trash (which the river relentlessly deposits) were signs that the Johnsons' award was well deserved. It proved to be the best night of all (if you don't count getting home and sleeping in one's own bed). Food was provided by the Johnsons. Friday was another long day. Now with 27 paddlers, we started early to make the trip to White River Campgrounds at 234th Street in Hamilton County. After lunch on the river bank in Perkinsville, we pushed on. Friday's dinner was provided by Connie and John (JD) Smith. The Smiths also sprung for the portable toilet at Saturday's campout. We had been warned that Saturday's paddle from 234th Street to Hazel Landing Campground was long, and since a few miles were through still waters behind the Clare dam, we vowed start early. I needed to be at the Forest Park boat launch by 10:30 a.m., so Ed Long and I started before 7. Getting around the dam was easy. Finding where to take out to do so was a challenge. (It's at the curve in the growth-covered flotsam on the right, not too far past the power plant's water intake railing.) Before 10 a.m., Ed and I, and soon the rest of the overnight campers, had reached the boat ramp. We waited until just before 11 to launch an impressive mass of canoes, kayaks, and one little craft that defied description. Counting those who launched at 234th Street, Potter's Bridge, the boat ramp across from Forest Park, and Schwartz's Bait & Tackle (and canoe livery), we had over 120 people on the river, learning how it is threatened and what they can do to help. This was the BIG DAY that we had spent the most time planning. It was brought off without a hitch by Jennifer Cannon, chapter staffer and overall Saturday coordinator; Kevin Dogan, our '"launch commander"; Rosemary Spalding, our '"paper person" for the day; and numerous others. Everyone was in the water on time with no incidents, and Kevin '"swept" the river to be sure we had the same paddler count as when we started. By the time we got to Hazel Landing Park, we were stretched out along the river. Even from the launch ramp the trip was over 11 miles, a long way for the many inexperienced paddlers. But everyone seemed to arrive in good spirits. Beautiful T-shirts donated by IPALCO were presented to everyone registered, and river facts folders were distributed. Dinner Saturday was organized by Angee and Tim White. As a service, we assembled seven picnic tables for the Carmel-Clay Parks Department and spread many wheelbarrows of chips on a spot that had been rutted by off-road vehicles. A large campfire encouraged discussion into the dark hours. Sunday morning saw a slow start as tired paddlers awoke to an overcast day, ate some breakfast fetched by Sue Pines and James Ertmer, stashed gear in Ed Long's van that served all week as our support vehicle, and shoved off. The last day of paddling, though not the longest, may have been the most difficult. After some initial fast water, the river becomes essentially a long lake backed up behind the Broad Ripple Dam. It is used by many power boats, some whose drivers respected the low sides of our canoes, and some whose drivers seemed oblivious to us. After a strenuous paddle across open spaces with a growing breeze, we arrived at the park, a bit more than six days after our start. Seven people paddled the whole trip: Donna Olsen and her grandsons Nicholas (13) and Nathan (10), Ed Long, Tom Ransburg, Sandy Miles, and me. Two others, Bob Hanes and Bob Long, did six days. The kayak was won by George Smolka from northern Indiana, perhaps the person who came the farthest. At the trip's end, we announced the formation of the Protect Indiana Waters Partnership, a statewide coalition of groups working to unify support for serious recommendations to state government that will improve the quality of our waters. We thank all those who joined us for demonstrating their concern for the White River and for all Indiana rivers. Will we do another Ride the River somewhere in Indiana? We just might. There are plenty of Indiana rivers left to see. With your help and concern, we can keep them clean for all to enjoy. Copyright © 2007 Hoosier Chapter Sierra Club, all rights reserved.[9/24/02]efp |

Things to see and do nearby
- South Wales
South Wales is a region rich in natural resources. Beautiful valleys which once saw the growth of some of Britain's greatest industries, offer visitors magnificent scenery and glimpses of the past. Much of the outstanding natural beauty of the area remains untouched. It is a land of contrasts, mountains and moorlands, forest and farmland and magnificent stretches of unspoilt coastline. The National Trust's interests in South Wales include large areas of the Brecon Beacons, Pembrokeshire and Gower, as well as the Dolaucothi Gold Mines, spectacular Aberdulais Falls and the Tudor Merchant's House in Tenby.
- Gower Peninsula
The Gower peninsula is a stunning unspoilt coastal landscape, 5,500 acres of which are owned by the National Trust and was the first place in Britain to be designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. An exceptionally mild climate, picturesque villages, free-roaming ponies in large areas of open common, ruined castles and a wealth of archaeology add to its enchantment. South Gower boasts internationally renowned beaches of rocky coves and golden sands. On West Gower the expanses of Rhossili and Whiteford beaches and the famous landmark, Worm's Head, are popular with visitors. North Gower in contrast provides a sweeping estuary of tidal salt marsh grazed by ponies and sheep, while the beautiful seaside village of Mumbles and the city centre of Swansea are just a stone's throw away.

Romantic and beautiful
Fantastic location - quiet, secluded, romantic and just beautiful.
John Warner
I'd rather keep this cottage secret!
We have been here 3 times now and will be going back in August 2006. If you like seclusion, peace and quiet and gentle strolls then this is the place. It is remote but that is, for us, its main attraction. If you fancy the single track roads then Oxwich Bay and, of course, Rhossili Bay and the Worms Head are well worth a visit. Our 3 children love the place. The garden surrounds the cottage and is safe and secure. Not sure why I am writing this - I'd rather keep this cottage secret!
Peaceful, peaceful, peaceful! Very well equipped and private little cottage. Excellent for very young children as large, enclosed garden and lots of friendly wildlife. A wonderful little hideaway
Magical spot
Our second visit to this magical spot. Excellent birdwatching from Robins to buzzards. We recommend The Hide at Berges Island.

In Harmony is located in Bodden Town, on the sleepy southern side of Grand Cayman. Away from the maddening crowds of the Seven Mile Beach tourist area, In Harmony is a secluded oasis, where the sounds of the ocean and sea breezes soothe your soul. Named for the way we feel balanced and connected to the surroundings when there, In Harmony is the perfect place to relax and reconnect with your family, making memories that will last a lifetime.
In Harmony is a wonderful home for extended families or two families traveling together. Although the ocean is a bit rougher on the south side, the beach is wide and loaded with sea life, coral, shells and sea glass. Children enjoy splashing at the shoreline, making sand castles and exploring all the treasures they find on the beach, but generally return to the resort style pool to swim. Swimming and snorkeling are possible behind the home, but we recommend only more experienced adults and older children do so. You will also want to wear water shoes when entering the ocean (not necessary on the beach) as there is a lot of coral, rocks and sea life. If you want to take the children to calmer, shallow waters to swim in the ocean, we recommend taking a day trip to Rum Point or one of the oceanfront restaurants on Seven Mile Beach.
In Harmony is just a short distance from the Turtle Nest Inn, one of the most popular "off the beaten path" hotels in Grand Cayman. Situated on approximately 100 feet of wide, private beach, enjoy sweeping views of the crystal clear Caribbean sea from this stunning villa. While secluded and away from the crowds of the Seven Mile Beach hotel area, In Harmony is centrally located and you are only about 30 minutes from virtually every other area of the island.
Between the airport and In Harmony there are several grocery stores at which you can stock up on food. There are also several local restaurants, such as Chester's Fish Fry and the Grape Tree Café, that are within 5 minutes of the villa. Virtually any other restaurant on the island is within a 30 minute drive. The Botanical Gardens and Pirate Caves are also very close by.
One of our other villas, 4Bed/4Bath Present Moment, is located 2 houses down from In Harmony, allowing parties of up to 24 to stay virtually next door to each other.
We are a family with young children living in Tampa, FL. We love Grand Cayman and try to visit as often as possible. When we are not there, we share our wonderful homes with others as vacation rentals.
Molly Thomas purchased this house in 2012
We chose In Harmony because of its size, large open layout, and beautiful, new finishes. We wanted a home large enough to accommodate our extended family, but small enough to still be manageable. We also wanted a home that felt very secluded and private but was still within 15 to 30 minutes of dining and shopping.
The most unique benefits of In Harmony are the secluded beach, fantastic pool and deck and its central location on Grand Cayman. The master bedroom suite, with sitting area, large bathroom with ocean views and the private, oceanfront terrace is a special feature as well.
That is what I say when people ask me how my vacation was!! As we pulled up to the gated driveway and opened the front door, we gazed straight through the home to the aqua marine ocean. We simply looked at each other and said, "wow"! Everything after that was the same...Wow!!! This home is beautiful from top to bottom, inside and out. It was perfect for our family, with the bedrooms on both sides to allow for the little ones to have their own quiet space. They were able to nap and sleep at night without the disruption from the rest of us being able to party into the evening! The master suite upstairs made me feel like a queen, listening to the waves off the private patio. The smooth transition on the main floor to the outdoors let us flow to the amazing patio and pool areas. We simply could not have asked for anything more. The outdoor kitchen let us hop out of the pool to grab drinks and also throw dinner on the grill without isolating the cook(thanks Papa). The attention to our needs was overwhelming from Sonya and Ray, the on-island managers. They were warm, welcoming, and filled with answers to any questions we had. A broken paddle to the kayak was delivered within hours of the phone call and the boys were back in the ocean. Every amenity imaginable was at our fingertips and I would go back there in a heartbeat!! It was summed up by my 4 year old grandson when he said, "Papa, can we please stay one more day?" When you book this...stay "one more day"!!! Carol, Dave, and family

Powder hard to see & have to apply way too much to fill brown in. Has NO staying power either. Trashed..
I was and still am a fan of this for filling in my brows. It is inexpensive and works well. However, I really wish they'd redesign the packaging. I've had 2 pots drop on my bathroom floor and the powder crumbled instantly. I've since switched to European Wax center's brow powder, which has sturdier packaging and offers 2 blendable colors, not just one. But this is a good product. Buy your own brush, as the one that comes with this is like a toy, tiny and useless.
I am a brunette and under artificial bathroom lighting this looked great. I then saw myself in dressing room lighting later in the day, and my brows had a very pronounced auburn/reddish hue. This is a good product, just an unusual color. I won't be able to use it unless I mix it with something else. Good thing it was cheap. No repurchase, but not tossing in the bin yet either.
I've had this brow powder in mink brown and taupe. I much prefer the soft brown. The taupe makes me eyebrows appear reddish. My eyebrows are slightly darker then my natural hair color. If they made a color that was in between taupe and mink brown I think that would be perfect for my brows. I find though that using a slightly darker color it makes me use a softer hand and my eyebrows look better. I don't have a lot of eyebrow hairs and I find that pencils make my eyebrows look fake. I like to slightly fill them in with this and then spray a Qtip or my finger tip with light hold hairspray to set my brows
This is a really nice eyebrow powder. It compliments my eyebrows perfectly, and it has decent staying power. It reminds me of embark, by MAC.
I really love this! I've had my little pot of this brow powder for almost a year using it pretty much everyday and have only made the smallest dent in it. The colour matches my hair colour exactly and doesn't come off looking too harsh on me. Very smooth, pigmented and it doesn't smudge (I don't even set it with a brow gel). Can't find anything bad about this product. I use my own angled brush since the brush that comes with it doesn't do a very good job. You only need a small amount to get the job done.
I'm rating this lower because of a couple things: First, the powder has very deceptive red undertones. When you look at the packaged product it doesn't seem like it would be particularly red, but once applied they become much more prominent.
Second, while the powder is pretty good quality, but the brush that is included is awful. I definitely would recommend that you use your own brushes.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have this in the medium brown, and the compact has the brush inside it (not separate like the one pictured). I think it is a pretty good product, it wears well. If you are thinking about trying it, go for it.
I love this product! I have used SO many eyebrow products over the last few years, from powders, to waxes. This is the ONLY one that I have found that matches my hair color to a T! I like powders better, because they look more natural, and you can blend them a lot easier. My eyebrows finally look natural and great! Will continue buying this product forever and ever!

Star Trek Into Darkness
Captain James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) has saved his first officer Spock (Zachary Quinto) from the heart of an active volcano on the planet Nibiru. Doing so has exposed the indigenous population to the sight of the massive starship Enterprise rising from the depths of the ocean, violating the United Federation of Planets' Prime Directive to not interfere with in the development of primitive alien societies. This breach of the rules gets Kirk demoted to first officer with command of the Enterprise returned to Admiral Christopher Pike (Bruce Greenwood) and Spock transferred to another starship. Meanwhile, a shadowy figure named John Harrison (Benedict Cumberbatch) approaches a young Starfleet officer promising to cure his sick daughter in exchange for a favor. That favor is blowing up a building in London housing a secret Starfleet weapons development facility. Harrison is a Starfleet officer attached to the shadowy Federation intelligence division known as Section 31. An emergency meeting of Starfleet command officers in London to discuss the bombing is itself attacked by Harrison in a small gunship. Several of the officers in the meeting are killed including Pike. Kirk is able to stop the attack but watches Harrison transport out of his ship before it crashes. A device found in the wreckage shows Harrison has beamed himself to the Klingon home world of Kronos. Kirk, put back in charge of the Enterprise, is tasked by Admiral Alexander Marcus (Peter Weller) with going to Kronos and firing newly designed photon torpedoes at the region of the planet where Harrison is hiding. This is an act of war against the Klingons and, if caught, Kirk and his crew will be left to fend for themselves as Marcus and Starfleet will claim no knowledge of his actions. Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott (Simon Pegg) objects to not being told everything about the torpedoes being loaded onto the ship and resigns in protest due to his fear the torpedoes might cause a warp core breach. Ensign Pavel Chekhov (Anton Yelchin) is promoted to engineer in his place. Nearly at the torpedo launch coordinates, the Enterprise suffers a failure of their warp drive, stranding them in the Neutral Zone between Klingon and Federation space. After urging from Spock, Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy (Karl Urban) and communications officer Nyota Uhura (Zoe Saldana), Kirk decides to change the plan from blowing up Harrison to capturing him and bringing him to Earth to stand trial for his crimes.

Hi every body,
i have a werid number appear when a get the AREA of the attached rectangles shapes especially when i use SMD ucs.
for instance see the rectangle C07 74X39=2886.00000000 BUT i get the area like 2886.000000003.
why the precisions dosesn't all 0 !!!!!!!
kindly see the attachment
imadhabash wrote:2886.00000000 BUT i get the area like 2886.000000003.

For all practical purposes those two numbers are equivalent.
Search for information on floating point math calculations.
What are your units?
What will be your measuring device?
What is your manufacturing/construction process?
The accuracy is 0 before you rotate the rectangle, if you rotate in increments less than 90 it looses this accuracy giving an inaccuracy such as yours +/- of the value. But as noted the accuracy is pretty good for all practical purposes.
dlipscombe wrote:But as noted the accuracy is pretty good for all practical purposes.
Pretty good? It is dead on for all practical purposes.
I think units (mm, M, light years...) need to be specified along with magnitude to have any real meaning.
Autocad is a precision software, you dont expect to get two different values just because you rotated an object 30°, no matter how minute the discrepency it should give the same reading in all circumstances, after all rotating an object doesnt change the object? Yes your right it is dead on for all uses, nobody ever needs that sort of accuracy.
dlipscombe wrote:Autocad is a precision software, you dont expect to get two different values just because you rotated an object 30°,
What is the precision of AutoCAD software. Be specific.
What is the programing routine for calculating the new position. Be specific. (you may simplify this one with hand-calc trig rather than specific programing algorithm)
As we can see from the OP they offer 8 decimal places but can only deliver 7, should not offer something you cannot achieve.
Precision is not about decimal places but significant figures. There are 13 significant figures, not 8 decimal places. The original drawing did not have perfectly drawn rectangles. The dimensions were off in the 12th significant figure (which is superb unless you want perfection).
There is no need to dimension or worry about these kinds of extreme precisions that cannot be measured or produced by machine. A typical surveyor might measure with an error of 1 part in 5000. So a 74m property might actually be 74.01m or it might be 73.99m. The area listed is well within the measurable precision.

It's patented design eliminates the need for bare-hand feeding where the GRR-Ripper serves as a virtual movable saw guard that travels with your hand, rather than a saw guard that is affixed to the back of the table saw, or one that hovers above it. The GRR-Ripper becomes an unyielding barricade between the table saw blade and both of your hands. Maximizing the use of your materials no longer has to compromise your safety. Aside from the safety, you truly get better cuts. Seeing is believing. Watch a video Demo of the GRR-Ripper by clicking on the "Videos" tab above.
Technical Details
- Results in a perfectly straight cut and safely keeps your hands away from the cutting elements.
- With grooved, non-slip pads on bottom and adjustable handle.
- Attachment kit (sold separately) consists of additional spacer and stabilizing accessory plate for extra control - ideal for narrow ripping.
- Micro jig Handle Bridge (sold separately) provides four contact points to apply more downward pressure across the entire width of the Micro Jig GRR-Ripper's body for better control. Also includes replaceable push foot.
- Micro Jig GRR-Ripper instructional DVD covers over 30 applications of the Micro Jig GRR-Ripper System on four different machines: table saw, router, jointer and band saw. 120 minutes.

Rev. Billy Graham has been hospitalized for the second time in a month.
Graham has been battling a respiratory congestion issue, but a spokesperson for the Graham family told WCNC, a local news source, he is expected to return home in a day or two.
The evangelist has been hospitalized several times in the past few years and now uses a wheelchair. He recently celebrated his 95th birthday in Asheville, N.C.
In October Graham released his latest book, The Reason for My Hope. He also worked on an outreach video telecast earlier this month, titled "My Hope America with Billy Graham."

Abstract: | We report 323 hours of nearly uninterrupted time series photometric observations of the DBV star GD 358 acquired with the Whole Earth Telescope (WET) during May 23rd to June 8th, 2000. We acquired more than 232 000 independent measurements. We also report on 48 hours of time-series photometric observations in Aug 1996. We detected the non-radial g-modes consistent with degree ℓ = 1 and radial order 8 to 20 and their linear combinations up to 6th order. We also detect, for the first time, a high amplitude ℓ = 2 mode, with a period of 796 s. In the 2000 WET data, the largest amplitude modes are similar to those detected with the WET observations of 1990 and 1994, but the highest combination order previously detected was 4th order. At one point during the 1996 observations, most of the pulsation energy was transferred into the radial order k = 8 mode, which displayed a sinusoidal pulse shape in spite of the large amplitude. The multiplet structure of the individual modes changes from year to year, and during the 2000 observations only the k = 9 mode displays clear normal triplet structure. Even though the pulsation amplitudes change on timescales of days and years, the eigenfrequencies remain essentially the same, showing the stellar structure is not changing on any dynamical timescale. |

Kevin Norwood – Wide Receiver
Kevin is a 5th year senior and a two year starter. Alabama doesn't have a true number 1 receiver so they rotate a number of receivers and Norwood plays in the rotation. In this game, he was thrown to 3 times and had 3 catches for 52 yards and a touchdown. The touchdown came on a go route with the ball thrown to his back shoulder. He made an excellent adjustment to the ball to make the grab at the goal line.
Norwood has good size at about 6'2 – 195. He is a very good athlete with great body control. He plays fast (4.5 range) and can get separation when he makes a cut. He has good hands and, like I said about the TD pass, can adjust to the ball. After the catch he is quick to turn up field and shows good run skills. On run downs he shows a good willingness to block.
This is a talented player, but at this time, I don't have a good feel for him. I will need more tape to see how he plays the rest of the season. With that said, my initial impression is that he is a solid mid-round type, but I may be understating that.
Kenny Ball – Wide Receiver
Just as with Norwood, I didn't get a lot of exposure of this player in the Texas A&M game. He did not start and did not play that much. Through his career, he has been a part-time starter, and going into this season he only had 36 career catches and 4 touchdowns. He was only thrown to only once in this game but he made the catch on a bubble screen and took it 51 yards for a score. That is his only catch this season. I do know that he is fast and athletic, but I need to see more before I can give him an accurate and fair grade.

Women's History Month Q&A of the Day – March 28, 2012
Q: Who was the first woman to become chief of a Native American nation?
A: Wilma Pearl Mankiller was the first woman to become Chief of the Cherokee Nation in 1985. She was principal chief until 1995. The Oklahoma native grew up in a destitute family that lived first in Oklahoma and then in California. In 1983, she was elected deputy chief of the Cherokee Nation. When Principal Chief Ross Swimmer left in 1985, to head the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Mankiller became chief. She was freely elected in 1987 and re-elected in 1991, with 83 percent of the vote.
She said that prior to her election "young Cherokee girls would never have thought that they might grow up and become chief."
Mankiller died of pancreatic cancer on April 6, 2010.

First thing's first: I'm a Jew. I haven't celebrated Christmas since I was a little kid and we still believed in Santa Claus. (I was eight when I discovered he wasn't real, and ceremoniously told my younger brother and sister at the dinner table. My mom got so mad she squeezed ketchup all over my face.) We never had a tree, but after that year, we stopped getting Christmas presents, too.
My bad. Keep reading »

Asus Transformer TF700 - Ultimate Buying Guide
Breaking News: The New Transformer TF701T available to pre-order in USA or International orders! Save $15 plus FREE SHIPPING IN USA. Current News - Asus has just taken the wraps of a "new" model of Transformer Pad TF701! Trust me, it's impressive but we don't know the price or the release date. The highlights include: Tegra 4 processor 1.9GHz with 72-core GeForce GPU, 2560 x 1600 WQXGA IPS+ panel with 400 nits brightness, USB 3.0 port on the keyboard dock, 2 GB memory, 32GB storage, Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, SDXC card reader (1 in dock and 1 in tablet).
Deals on Transformer Infinity TF700 - If you are considering the Infinity, now is a GREAT time to buy. It is now selling for as low as $399. At one time it was selling for $499. Check out links below! USA $469 to $489 - Asus Transformer Infinity TF700 - 32GB - Gray - In Stock and Shipping From Amazon.ca Asus TF700T Infinity - In Stock - $434 (32GB) - Adorama.com - International Shipping Try and update your TF700 now because the Android Jelly Bean update has started! See the details of the update from Asus here. UK finally has in-stock TF700 tablets! Links here.
All indications are that this is a very popular tablet which has been teased for months. It has been selling out quickly. The 32GB model is selling out faster than the 64GB model. There are 2 colors available but so far it appears that the Gold color is very hard (impossible) to find. We will tweet and update our listings as more retailers have the Gold Transformer Infinity for sale and start shipping. About the Transformer Prime TF201 Keyboard vs Transformer Infinity TF700 Keyboard: If you want to save money, you can buy the Transformer Prime TF201 keyboard dock instead. It's been verified by Asus and from many user comments that the TF201 dock will work with your TF700 tablet. If we didn't believe this was the case, we would not be suggesting this. With that said, we're seeing the TF700 keyboard dock for as low as $131 which means the TF201 dock won't save you very much money. We've seen prices as low as $124 so far for the TF201 keyboard docks. A number of site visitors are recommending buying the TF201 keyboard dock and there are a number of discussions on our blog about it. With this said, it's a very confusing situation. If you simply want to get the TF700 dock, it's available right now for about $131 (see link at the top of this page). If it was me, regardless of whether the TF201 dock might be compatible, I would most likely opt for spending about $10 more for the TF700 dock. At one point Best Buy had the TF201 dock for $99, but those are now sold out. - There is some AMAZING information in our comments section (367 comments at last check) from very knowledgeable folks like yourselves who are also shopping for or who have already bought the TF700T. Want to know about the TF201 vs TF700 keyboard dock? Want to know the best place to buy your Infinity tablet? We recommend you check out our blog post here and join the dicussion or read some helpful advice and information. - The prices you should pay will be $499 for the 32GB (TF700T-B1) model and $599 for the 64GB (TF700T-C1) model. The Transformer Infinity Dock will be $149. (Update from the official Asus North America Facebook page regarding the stock of Gold Infinity models: "They will be filtering in, more grey's than gold's were ordered so that one will be harder to find.") We're seeing the Gray model (appears almost purple in the photos) only on most retailer websites. Thanks to our helpful visitor contributions, we're able to get quick updates on when and where pre orders and orders are available. We've just pulled down one retailer as they have sold out their units. Stay tuned for more updates as news breaks! Germany In Stock and Shipping from Amazon.de! Check our TF700 and TF700KL Germany listings on our buy Asus tablet page for details. It appears that Germany is first up with units for sale with the Gold color TF700 tablets. Germany currently has some Gold models available for sale. - New hands-on video that's 8 minutes! Watch it here. Asus has launched a brand new and very excellent showcase page for the Transformer Infinity here. Release Date Update: This is the most common question we get right now. We understand the excitement. This is one heck of a tablet and people want it. We just learned (thanks to Bob) that Asus UK confirmed on their Twitter page that the Infinity TF700 will be released in the UK in August. If you live in the US, Canada or other area don't panic! The official information about a US release date is July 15th. Regarding other countries, please check will us during the week for the most updated information. Canada has just officially been announced by Asus to be getting the Infinity tablet in early August. Different areas of the world will get the TF700T before the UK release date. Updates coming to our site the second information is released from Asus. Asus has officially announced via their Twitter feed that the TF700 will be available on August 31st. The UK has been in short supply but now as of late September, it is in-stock and shipping. Transformer Infinity 3G / 4G LTE Details: The 3G / 4G LTE model of the Transformer Infinity will have the product name Asus Transformer Infinity TF700KL. The 3G model is going to be labeled as TF700TG if in fact there is going to be two seperate versions. We believe the KL is indicative of the fact that the 3G / 4G LTE model will use a Snapdragon and not Tegra processor. The image shown here from Computex 2012 in June clearly shows that the model exists. If Asus is going to go into the North American market with a 3G / 4G LTE model, the Transformer Infinity is a wise choice. Nothing official but it seems quite possible that it won't come to market until the end of summer. One of the issues is that the Infinity 4G will be using a Snapdragon processor, the S4, which so happens to be is short supply. It's pushing many devices into delays. Because of this reality it's quite possible the 4G model will simply be delayed. This doesn't mean the non 3G / 4G LTE model is delayed should there be a 3G model released but we believe there will be only one version, the TF700KL and not also the TF700TL. If you're wondering about a release date in the USA, we can tell you that when a product passes through the FCC (required by Asus before bringing to market in the USA), it most times shows up on store shelves at least one month afterwards. And no, the TF700KL has NOT passed through the FCC yet. When it does, be assured we will provide those details. A closer look at the Transformer Infinity TF700 tablet: Dimensions: 180.8 x 263 x 8.5mm Weight: 598g Overview: The Transformer Infinity Series is an tablet from Asus that essentially is an updated Transformer Prime. The Infinity will outright replace the Prime in the near future. One thing is certain. Asus had identified a problem in the Prime TF201 regarding wireless signals which affects wifi and GPS performance. The Transformer Infinity has a plastic strip along its back which you can see in the photos above. The strip of plastic is there to improve the wireless performance. The other big feature of the Transformer Infinity TF700 is that the resolution is 1920 x 1200. This is a higher resolution than the Transformer Prime TF201 which has a 1280 x 900 resolution. Also the Transformer Infinity 700 has a 16:10 aspect ratio which makes a huge difference when watching HD content or connecting the tablet to an HD television. A Blu-ray quality movie on the Infinity will not lose any of the quality because of the HD resolution and aspect ratio. What makes this Asus tablet a real premium product is with the Super IPS+ display which means better usability in sunlight or outdoor situations. Technically, the Transformer Infinity provides 600 nits. As a comparison, the Transformer Prime has the same max 600 nits and the Transformer TF300T has a max of 350 nits. Think of nits as being the maximum screen brightness. Just realize that with extra brightness comes more power usage and less battery life. The front facing camera in the TF700T is 2MP which is an improvement over the Prime TF201. The rear camera is a 8MP rear auto focus camera with a LED flash. The LED flash is something you won't find on the Transformer Pad TF300 model. Outside of the above mentioned improvements, it appears that the look, feel and size of the Asus Transformer Infinity TF700 is the same as the Transformer Prime TF201. The Asus Infinity TF700 comes with either 64GB or 32GB storage. Expect the more expensive 64GB model to come to market first which is what happened with the TF300T tablet. What we like is that you will get 8GB of Asus WebStorage for life. That's a nice little bonus thrown in there and certainly 8GB extra and in a cloud is fantastic. Looking To Buy Asus Transformer Infinity TF700? If you're planning on shopping for the Asus Infinity tablet, here are the proper product names and what you should be shopping for: ASUS TF700T-C1-CG (64GB model without keyboard dock, color is Champagne Gold) ASUS TF700T-C1-GR (64GB model without keyboard dock, color is Amethyst Gray) ASUS TRANSFORMER PAD INFINITY TF700T-B1-CG (32GB model without keyboard, color is Champagne Gold) ASUS TRANSFORMER PAD INFINITY TF700T-B1-GR (32GB model without keyboard, color is Amethyst Gray) ASUS INFINITY TF700T-DOCK-GR (Keyboard docking station, color is Amethyst Gray) ASUS INFINITY TF700T-DOCK-CG (Keyboard docking station, color is Champagne Gold) The B1 indicates the smaller storage of 32GB and the C1 indicates the 64GB model. The colors of the TF700 are the same as the Prime TF201 which is Gold or Gray. Previous Overview (before official details were announced): June 25th is an interesting date. We don't expect any pre orders or availability to happen before that date but there is something happening. We say this based on some in depth recent videos of the TF700T that were pulled. Richies Room had about 4 fantastic videos of the Transformer Infinity which are now offline and they say to check back on June 25th. No reason given but obvious Asus didn't want them to post the videos and asked them to be taken offonline. Who knows why. It's obvious that June 25th is significant. Stay tuned! In the USA, the Transformer Infinity has passed through the FCC. This makes a release date of late June or early July very realistic. When a tablet gets through the FCC, it's generally less than 4 weeks from release. Pre orders may start earlier than people think! Read more details here. Expected Release Date: Here is what we know. First, nothing has been officially announced other than the UK release date. Previously an official Asus statement said that the Transformer Infinity in Italy would be released in June. That's gone and no Infinity in Italy. Any other release dates are just guesses at this point. We will say that the TF300T Transformer Pad is out April 22 and later in some markets. We don't see the TF700T Infinity to be released during the TF300 phase. In that situation, our best guess is with a late May or early June release or pre order phase. Again, Italy is the only official date out there right now. One other note worth mentioning is that Asus at last word, suggested the Transformer Pad TF700 would ship with either a Snapdragon S4 processor or a Nvidia Tegra 3 processor. We're not sure which, but the fact is there is a global shortage of the Snapdragon processor. Let's hope that this issue won't delay the TF700 tablet. The Asus Transformer TF700 stole the show at CES 2012. This was a soft launch in that it was a display model and most bloggers and CES participants could look and not touch. The naming of the TF700 is somewhat of a mystery. Asus has a tendency to throw up a lot of different names for their tablets and the TF700 is no exception. We've heard and seen this Asus tablet named the "Transformer 700 Series". We've seen other websites name this the Transformer Prime TF700. Is this a new Prime tablet? We haven't seen "Prime" in any official Asus documentation. We've seen the model number as TF700 and sometimes TF700T. We are certain it will simply be the TF700 because the "T" as we've learned, simply refers to the Nvidia Tegra processor. We don't see Asus marketing this model with the "T", but the MeMO 370T flies in the face of our theory. In addition, the 700 Series means what? We've never heard Asus referring to their tablet lineup as a series. Perhaps this is the new easy naming system they will be using. See what we're saying about Asus and their choices for tablet names and models? Confusing yes. What you want to know is how this tablet improves on the current Asus Transformer Prime TF201. We we can say that it's got an amazing 1920x1200 pixel resolution. The TF201 has only a 1280x800 pixel display. With the upcoming Apple iPad 3 which is expected to have a super high pixel count, we can safely assume that the Transformer TF700 is the Asus answer to the iPad 3. It's not known exactly what processor the TF700T will use, but leaks on the internet suggest it may be a Qualcomm processor which would be a departure from the Tegra processors in the other Eee Pad models. It looks to have a dual core 1.5GHz processor which is faster than the 1.3GHz processor in the TF201 Transformer Prime model. Beyond the higher pixel count, the Transformer TF700T is a redesign of the Transformer Prime TF201. As you may not know, the TF201 has suffered from Wifi and GPS related signal issues. It appears that Asus identified a flaw in the TF201 design and has quickly revamped with the TF700. If you can wait, it may be worth your while waiting for the TF700T. They have gone with a plastic strip on the back of the tablet which will improve wireless signals.
The TF700 will also feature a 2MP front facing camera which is high definition. Regarding battery life, it's expected to equal the TF201 which gets about 9.5 hours or 18 hours when connected to the keyboard docking station.
Price? More expensive than the Transformer Prime TF201. Sorry no specific pricing details to offer just yet. Videos: New! Amazing 8-minute video of the Asus Infinity that goes in depth on the making of and the technical aspects of the tablet that make it one of the best on the market. [ page top ] Nothing special, but it teases us about the high pixel count of the TF700. Just released as the build up to MWC 2012 continues. Hands-On video of the Transformer TF700T which does a great job of showing every aspect of this upcoming Asus tablet.

Sony seems to be taking the initial lead over Microsoft's next generation console by doing the right things. They have shown us the games they have been working on and the technology they will be using to power them up on the PlayStation 4.
From the much touted 8GB GDDR5 RAM to the use of Gaikai to stream games, the hype train seems to be running parallel with Sony. But much to anyone's surprise, one of the best features about the PS4 is not being talked about.
If you have PlayStation 3 and if you have ever connected it online, you must have observed that sometimes in order to download a massive game or apply a patch, the update/download screen sticks on your screen.
Image via MP1st.
"You cannot perform background download of this content." On countless occasions this results in to frustration especially if the content is massive in size.
When Sony official revealed the PlayStation 4 back in February this year, Mark Cerny, the technical mastermind behind the console's design revealed that they will be including a custom chip that will be handling all the updates and video decodes in the background. Now this results in to a number of different possibilities.
You can probably keep playing the game without any stoppage time, listen to music, upload your videos using the share button and most importantly, this will save your time and probably some stress.
It's amazing that no one is talking about this since this is something that will definitely improve the end user experience.
What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments section below.

CAIRO - Carrying a message of mercy to their community, Ohio Muslims have gathered this week to offer free food, medical checks and clothing to the poor and needy during the holy month of Ramadan in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood of Cincinnati.
"Volunteers from across the Tri-State have served a hot meal to about 400 low-income people at this event each year since 2003," Karen Dabdoub, director of the Cincinnati office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations-Ohio (CAIR-Cincinnati), said in a press release obtained by OnIslam.net.
Muslims gathered at the 10th Annual Sharing Ramadan in Over-the-Rhine on Sunday, July 22, to feed the needy people in the city.
Ramadan 1433⦠With Hardship Comes EaseSpiritual Ramadan on OnIslam.net
Starting from noon to 2 pm, fasting Muslims combined their efforts to provide a hot meal, free health checks, non-perishable food items and clothing to people in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood of Cincinnati.
Ramadan is the holiest month in Islamic calendar.
In Ramadan, adult Muslims abstain from food, drink, smoking and sex between dawn and sunset.
The sick and those traveling are exempt from fasting especially if it poses health risks.
Fasting is meant to teach Muslims patience, self-control and spirituality, and time during the holy month is dedicated for getting closer to Allah though prayers, reading the Noble Qur'an and good deeds.
During Ramadan, Muslims dedicate their time during the holy month to become closer to Allah through prayer, self-restraint and good deeds.
It is customary for Muslims to spend part of the days during Ramadan studying the Noble Qur'an.
US Muslims celebrated the start of the holy fasting month on Friday, July 20, making it the first time for Ramadan in 30 years to come in mid July.
Muslim Help
The Muslim community holds regular events to help the poor and needy in the city under the teachings of their faith.
"The Cincinnati Muslim community regularly feeds people in this neighborhood during Ramadan and every Friday and Sunday during the year" Dabdoub said.
Although there are no official figures, the United States is believed to be home to between 6-8 million Muslims.
Since the 9/11 attacks, US Muslims have complained of discrimination and stereotypes because of their Islamic attires or identities.
Despite the frenzy, they seized the opportunity to introduce the true message of Islam, through activism.
Extending new bridges into the community, new groups were established, such as American Muslim Voice, founded by Samina Sundas of Palo Alto.
There is also the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which was founded to help Muslims engage with their neighbors in civic life.
A Muslim program, Day of Dignity, was also introduced nationwide seven years ago, aiming at serving homeless and vulnerable Americans, whether Muslim or not.
Every year, the nation-wide effort aims to serve more than 20,000 homeless and people in need in 15 cities throughout the United States.People receive health screenings, free food, and a variety of goods depending on their particular city.

Valparaiso's Christin Spoolstra has helped establish a girls basketball team in Cambodia
By Anthony D. Alonzo Post-Tribune correspondent October 15, 2012 11:08PM
Updated: November 17, 2012 6:17AM
On a small rectangular section of pavement near a school in the Svay Rieng Province of Cambodia, several girls run barefoot, each clamoring for a chance to toss a well-worn basketball into the basket.
Giving pointers to the students is Valparaiso native and Peace Corps volunteer Christin Spoolstra. It's a whole new ball game for the eager teens. And for Spoolstra, who's stationed in the Southeast Asian country to teach English, the cultural export is just one way she's helping improve lives and create lasting friendships.
"My girls never got to play a game because no other school in the area has a girls team," wrote Spoolstra via e-mail from Cambodia. "They certainly won't become athletes, but I'm happy that they have their first extra curricular activity and that they're gaining confidence in an area that is typically reserved for the guys."
On Oct. 3, the 24-year-old Valparaiso High School graduate celebrated the one-year mark of her 27-month commitment to the U.S. international service organization. She said that has "found another home" there and believes her host family loves her like a natural-born daughter.
"My commitment to Cambodia is stronger than ever," Spoolstra wrote. "There are definitely things — and certainly people — that I miss about the States, but I'm happy where I am."
Christin's journey of international service through language and sports was not a methodically plotted course by a busy-bodied young person. In fact, growing up in Valparaiso, she never played school sports, but did participate in parks department baseball and softball.
As an undergrad at Albion College in Michigan, she had eyed law school, but sidelined the idea when a mentor on her internship challenged her.
"(Marty Morris) told me to think about what the purpose behind my ideal job would be and then consider the most direct path to fulfilling that purpose," wrote Spoolstra about Sen. Richard Lugar's chief of staff in Washington, DC.
During her senior year at Albion, Spoolstra went out for the Britons' lacrosse team, which had just joined the ranks of NCAA D-III programs. She was further pointed in the direction of volunteerism when a teammate talked to her about the Peace Corps.
Within a few months of graduation, and after some gut checking, Spoolstra would board a jet plane in Chicago headed for Cambodia.
The Svay Rieng Province in eastern part of the country is located near the border with Vietnam, and is one of the country's poorest regions. Though times have changed, the Khmer people endured spillover from the Vietnam War, and in the 1970s, brutalities and genocide at the hands of the extremist nationalist government called the Khmer Rogue.
Though Peace Corps protocol prohibits "political action" by volunteers, Spoolstra said she is allowed — and encouraged — to try to understand the pain many of the country's families have endured. What she sees in today's Cambodia is an ongoing material poverty.
Yet a brighter, more positive influence on the country seems to be American pop culture. Its impact is apparent, according to Spoolstra. "Angry Birds" characters are everywhere. And World Wrestling Entertainment's John Cena is just about a household name.
"When I give my students the opportunity to choose an English name, someone inevitably chooses Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift," she wrote.
Spoolstra teaches and tutors high school equivalent classes and manages to coach basketball four days a week. She called establishing a team for girls one of her first priorities upon arriving at her teaching assignment.
On the court, Christin and another American volunteer from a nearby village break down basketball drills into simplified visual lessons.
"They really love scrimmaging," Spoolstra wrote of the three dozen or so girls who play. "It's difficult to get them to sit down and learn the intricacies of the rules, so we kind of pick and choose what's important for them to learn that day."
When her schedule permits, she hopes to co-write a Peace Corps sports manual based on her starting-from-scratch coaching experiences.
Reflecting on her overseas commitment, Spoolstra characterized volunteering not in terms of changing the world, but more as a process of "improving yourself." And though she draws much motivation from within, continued support from loved ones in Northwest Indiana has made a major impact on her.
"The support network that I left in the Midwest has never failed me," she wrote of her friends and family. "I am constantly encouraged by kind messages, letters, and boxes of chocolate."
And about her parent's approval for her long-term service commitment: "Their utter selflessness in putting the desires of their children first has been a true model for me. I wouldn't be where I am without their support and love."

Think I had seen ideas for the bowling ball bag before, but have forgotten. Went to a yard sale up the street on Saturday late and no one had wanted the bowling ball and case. The ball was beautiful, color of red, my favorite color, and looked so pretty in the sun. I have several with pennies and stones, so I decided to leave this one just as it was. This is the first time I have gotten a case, please give me some of your creative ideas. Thanking you in advance. Hallngarden |

If you are using it outside paint it with something to waterproof it.Maybe the stuff they use to waterproof the little overalls used for planters?? Sit it beside the bowling ball and put a pot of flowers inside.Or turn it on it's side and stick the BB halfway out as if it is rolling out of the bag and maybe add a few plants spilling out around the ball.Find an old pair of bowling shoes to sit beside it and stick some plants inside.That's all I can think of at the moment............Lillie |

I pick up the cases for storing lots of things. Mainly, I use one to keep in the trunk of my car to hold maps, flashlights and batteries, toliet paper, soap, etc. My DH keeps our cat toys in another. I haven't used on outside yet. A big plant, though, would like charming coming out of the bag. Just set the pot inside. |
Make a hanging planter out of it. The handles should be strong enough for just about anything. Or is the thing really ugly? You can paint it, glue stuff to it, put a face on it and arms and legs. |

I use my bb bags also for the car and one for our dog's food,toys & etc for when he has to go to the boarding place when we go out of town for a few day or when he can go with us, this way everythings there, food, toy or what ever. His own suitcase. The people at the Bording place really had a laugh the first time I used it. Joy |

I used a white bowling ball case for an accessory to a 4th of July costume I did. left most of it white added red and blue paint stuck tons of red clear and blue star rhinestones on it and have a wonderful purse for the 4th have used it in 3 trashy fashion shows so far. I have a beautiful purple bowling "gazing" ball in my yard that came in the bag only paid 2 bucks at a thrift store for the whole thing |
can i make a suggestion? the clients at special olympics would love to have their "own" bolwing stuff. if it is a lighterweight ball you could donate it and the bag and make someone very happy. |

Hi! Just moved to Colorado and wondering if there are any folks who have been successful at winter sowing. I live close to Boulder. I have winter sowed in other places, but this could be a challenge. Thanks! |

I wintersow in Elizabeth, CO--never tried it before moving here. I've used milk jugs along the outside of a raised, covered deck. I have noticed mine sprout much later than most on this forum but have been pretty successful with most things. |
Hi! I live in Westminster and WS for the first time last winter. All but two of my jugs sprouted and my garden did very well this year. I start in December and continue all the way to February. I will be WS again this winter since I was able to grow a wide variety of vegetables this summer. Don't worry, the snow won't hurt the seeds. You should definitely give it a try. |

Hello, neighbors. I'm in Co Springs--more than a mile high. This will be my first time wintersowing. Any tips would be appreciated. |
I'm in COS as well and have been propagating with lights for a while. I would love to try WS this year and would take any advice offered. I need to get most of my "operation" outdoors as it seems to get bigger and bigger each year. Are there particulars about WS in CO that I need to know? |
I live in the Denver metro area. Have WS for 3 years. About half of the things I have sown survived to become full size plants. Even so, the Colorado climate can be challenging so before you choose your WS seeds, you might do some research on what varieties of plants grow well here. Colorado State University does trials of annual and perennial flowers. These results are listed online on their horticultural website. A good resource for local plants and information can be found at Harlequin's Gardens in Boulder. If I remember correctly, they have info on their website about vegetable varieties that do well there. Welcome to Colorado and have fun with the wintersowing! |
