The late Paul McLeod's attorney, Phillip Knecht, issued a press release today announcing a "Memorial and Celebration of the Life of Paul MacLeod, which will be held in Holly Springs, Mississippi, on Tuesday, August 12, 2014, during Elvis Presley Week. Graceland Too will be collecting donations at this event to pay for Paul MacLeod's funeral and burial expenses, and the expenses and costs of his Estate."
Graceland Too will open that day for guided tours for the customary $5/person. Be advised: "Lifetime memberships, for this one time only, will not be honored, as all proceeds from this tour will go towards Paul's funeral, burial and estate expenses." There will be a midnight candle vigil.
In the meantime, fans are stopping at the closed property to show their support of Elvis' No. 1 Fan. "Graceland Too is honored and touched by the outpouring of sympathy for Paul, and the growing collection of soda cans at the doorsteps of Graceland Too. We encourage Paul's fans to continue to stop by and leave these cans in his memory.
"Further details, including exact times and locations, will be posted in the coming days and weeks on the personal Facebook page of Phillip Kyle Knecht, the Facebook page of the Knecht Law Firm, the unofficial Paul MacLeod Facebook page, and with the Holly Springs City Hall, office of Mayor Kelvin Buck, and the Holly Springs Tourism and Recreation Bureau."
[RoadsideAmerica.com Team, 07/20/2014]Well well well. We were in awe of Graceland Too. Keep up with him, you might miss something. Quite busy, but a must for Elvis fans. Town is pretty cool. House getting painted again.
[James the Route Pro, 07/06/2013]Glad we stopped. Please read the full story on RA. We knew what to expect. Paul was on his front porch waiting for visitors. He took us in the front door and locked it behind him. Would have been creepy if we didn't read the background story.
He likes to keep attention on him at all times and likes to "tap" your shoulder if his high pitched whistle didn't get you the first time. The house is now under "renovation" inside and out. There is a lot of chain link fence inside protecting his items. The house on the outside is now brown and blue and white.
Fascinating character and glad we met him.

As a leg moisturiser, this is good. I like the smell and it does moisturise well. What I am not fond of is the texture, it is slightly sticky and you have to rub it in the skin very well.
Regarding the hair minimisation, it may have caused the hair to be softer thus making it easier to shave or wax but it definitely did not make me shave less often. It does not delay the growth of hair and if it did, it was not noticeable.
It is good for dry skin and gives super soft skin after scrubbing.
I used nearly 2 bottles of this lotion- every day after the shower- before writing this review and I can honestly say that it does not lead me to shaving less. So I have to give it 2 lippies cos the main purpose of the lotion is to benefit you by shaving less.
The smell is overly sweet and it doesnt fully absorb into the skin unless you RUB it in and wait about 5 minutes before putting your clothes on. But as I;m so used to those lotions that quickly absorb into the skin, I find that this J&J is quite sticky.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
It does work! It really helps to shave less often and it makes your skin soft and smooth. Absorbs quickly. The smell is pretty nice. I will buy it again.

New Side Trips: Two Cruises to Try
St. Petersburg is an ideal jumping-off point for cruising. New options include the Grand Princes of Russia itinerary with Academic Arrangements Abroad (800/221-1944; arrangementsabroad.com; 14 days from $9,390 per person), a New York–based operator affiliated with the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Tours are geared toward serious arts aficionados, but the trip—including seven days on the redesigned Volga Dream riverboat—is open to all. A more adventurous choice is a 10-day cruise to the White Sea's Solovetski Islands led by Infoflot (7-495/684-9188; infoflot.ru; from $1,363 per person). The accommodations are bare-bones, but this is the best way to see the remote archipelago and the main island's Solovki monastery (formerly held by the Soviet gulag) and the area's wild coastline.

Makeup Test Modeling with Vena Cava
We're so excited that Vena Cava is blogging for us all week long. Today, Lisa Mayock gives us a sneak peek at the hair and makeup that they're using for their show.
We always use one of our friends as our hair and makeup test model, because it's just more fun that way. Our gorgeous friend and former employee, Chrissy, has done about 5 of them--meaning that twice a year she has her makeup done by Christian McCullough and her hair done by Ted Gibson. This year we're channeling Fiona Apple by way of En Vogue. This sounds weird, but will make sense when you see the show. Promise.
Christian applying glitter from Pearl paint. He mixed blue, silver and some M.A.C glitter makeup in here and it got everywhere: in his beard, in someone's teeth, on the couch. We're going to have glitter in our studio for LIFE.

August 12, 2009, 8:30 AM
By Ralph J. Gleason
Originally published in the August 1970 issue
Everybody had heard of The Rolling Stones, but until the day they played a free concert at the drag strip, nobody but hard-core auto-racing fans in Northern California had ever heard of Altamont. Even the press, trying to sort out what happened there that day, was unable to figure out whether Altamont was in Livermore or Tracy, the two nearest suburban towns.
Altamont is just a name on a map, a former flag stop on the Western Pacific Railroad, with a garage (W.J. Armstrong, Summit Garage, Altamont, California) and an abandoned church, and it's miles from the Altamont Raceway where the concert was held. The Raceway is in the crotch of the hills at the southeast end of the Livermore Valley, on the south side of the eight-lane freeway Interstate 580, about fifty miles east of Oakland. The day The Rolling Stones played there, the name became etched in the minds of millions of people who love pop music and who hate it as well. If the name "Woodstock" has come to denote the flowering of one phase of the youth culture, "Altamont" has come to mean the end of it.
It was the largest gathering of people in modern California history. As many as 300,00 may have been in attendance. And what happened was that a man was killed there, knifed and beaten to death within twenty feet of Mick Jagger as he was singing Under My Thumb. The victim was Meredith Hunter, an eighteen-year-old black man, and his attackers were Hell's Angels, the outlaw motorcycle gang. The murder took place within the bright circle of light illuminating the performance area and before the cameras of the Maysles brothers, who were making a documentary film. The film shows clearly that Hunter had a gun in his hand before he was stabbed. The film also reveals the knife. Alan Passaro, twenty-five years old, has now been indicted by the Alameda County Grand Jury. Dozens of others in the audience were beaten and maimed by Hell's Angels using pool cues for weapons, a girl suffered a near-fatal skull fracture from a full beer can thrown by someone in the crowd, performers were knocked senseless or harassed by Angels in several brawls, two young people afterward were killed by a hit-and-run driver while they were sitting by a campfire, and a fourth was drowned in a ditch. No one but the lunatic fringe of the underground press has yet suggested that Meredith Hunter's murder and the other accidents were anything but results of irrational spontaneous violence, but one of the producers of the documentary film, an associate of the Maysles, commented excitedly after seeing the initial rushes, "We've got an In Cold Blood that wasn't staged."
Altamont has become the most significant act ever to be associated with rock music. Its repercussions have resulted in at least four California county ordinances banning large gatherings unless special and prohibitive measures are taken, and there are two bills in the California legislature proposing the same thing. The murder occurred in the early dusk on December 6, 1969. At the end of February, 1970, there had yet to be an arrest. Since Altamont lies in an unincorporated area, the County Sheriff has jurisdiction, and the Alameda County Sheriff's office put two men on the case. They interviewed dozens of people, subpoenaed the Maysles' film (and refused to show it to newsmen) and gathered together hundreds of photographs taken at the event. Yet even though the murder took place in full view of hundreds of people and was photographed and filmed, the Sheriff's office was slow in making an arrest. Critics of the Alameda County Sheriff's Department claim that a détente exists between the Angels and most of the police departments of the East Bay (Oakland and Alameda County). They point to the occasion when Hell's Angels interfered in an anti-draft march in 1965 at the city line between Berkeley and Oakland. The Oakland police at that time allowed the Angels through their lines to attack the marchers (the Berkeley police defended the marchers, one Berkeley officer suffering a broken leg in the melee). That story's follow-up how the Hell's Angels were then turned on to LSD by Allen Ginsberg and Ken Kesey and how they later became the guardians of the children at the Great Human Be In in Golden Gate Park is part of the San Francisco rock mythology which ended abruptly at Altamont.
Ralph "Sonny" Barger, chief of the Bay Area Angels, he who had sat with Ken Kesey and Allen Ginsberg in the front row of the Bob Dylan concert in Berkeley, he who had danced to the rock bands at a hundred dances in the Avalon, the Fillmore and California Hall, went on KSAN, San Francisco's underground FM station, the night after the Altamont murder and said, "We were told if we showed up, we could sit on the stage and drink some beer that the Stones' managers had brought us, you know. And I'm bum kicked about the whole thing. I didn't like what happened there. We were told we were supposed to sit on the stage and keep people off, and a little back, if we could. We parked where we were told we were supposed to park. Mostly, a little bit to the side of the stage so that people who were there didn't have to move back too far.
"Personally, I was there to sit on the stage and listen and drink this beer that we were promised. I didn't go there to fight. I went there to have a good time and sit on the stage. Finally, the Stones come out and they start playing. Everybody's having a good, good time. All of a sudden, someone down in front, where this one bike, right directly in front, was, is yelling. I myself jumped down there and the wiring has shorted out somewhere. The bike had caught fire. The people were packed right up to the stage. So I told them to back up so we can get this fire out. Nobody'd back up. Some other Angels caught what was happening and came off the stage, and when they did, people started backing up.
"Now I ain't saying anything about no Angel hit anybody. I know some of them hit people. But they moved them people back out of the way of the bike. And we got the fire put out. In the process, you know what, some people got hit. And you know what? Some of them people were like maybe them Friday-nighters that got that front row, I don't know, but they didn't want to give up that spot even to put that fire out. And when they come back fightin', they got thumped. And a lot of time there was six or seven Angels on one guy, and a lot of times there wasn't. After that happened, we got the fire out. And everything was cool. The people moved back in again."
Barger claimed people started knocking over the Angels' bikes. "Now I don't know if you think we pay fifty dollars for them things, or steal them, or pay a lot for them, or what. But most people that's got a good Harley chopper got a few grand invested in it. Ain't nobody gonna kick my motorcycle. And they might think because they're in a crowd of 300,000 people that they can do it and get away with it. But when you're standing there looking at something that's your life, and everything you got is invested in that thing, and you love that thing better than you love anything in the world, and you see a guy kick it, you know who he is. And if you got to go through fifty people to get to him, you're gonna get to him.
"We moved them people to save that bike. And, after that, they tried to destroy our bikes, and we're not gonna stand for it. And that made it personal...You know what? I'm a violent cat when I got to be. But I don't really want to be. But there ain't nobody gonna take anything I got and try to destroy it. Mick Jagger, he put it all on the Angels.
"Look, I ain't no cop. I ain't never going to ever pretend to be a cop. I didn't go there to police nothing. They told me if I could sit on the edge of the stage so nobody would climb over me, I could drink beer until the show was over. That's what I went there to do...I'm no peace creep, by any sense of the word, and if a cat don't want to fight with me, don't want to hassle with me, I want to be his friend. If he don't want to be my friend, then out of sight, don't even talk to me. But if he don't want to be my friend and he's gonna get in my face, I'm gonna hurt him, or he's gonna hurt me. And you know what? It doesn't really matter if he hurts me, because I've been hurt before. And I've been hurt by experts. Over the years, though, I've learned how to get up and do it again."
The Angels haven't done any talking since, and they specifically won't talk to the press. The underground, which means non-Angels who are close to Angels, says that even within the Angels' community there have been repercussions. Some officers of the San Francisco club, for instance, are said to have dropped out, and other Angels, faced with a new kind of crisis, have left. One Angel, Terry the Tramp, who was close to the rock bands (he was one of the investors in the Carousel Ballroom which The Grateful Dead and the Jefferson Airplane operated for a brief time before Bill Graham, the ever-expanding entrepreneur of San Francisco's rock, took it over), committed suicide in mid-February with an overdose of sleeping pills, driven by the murder, his friends say, to emotional collapse. When the Angels confiscated the luxurious carpet on which Jagger had performed, Terry the Tramp returned it.
It is clear, too, that the tight group loyalty among the Angels and their fans has begun to erode. Passaro's identification proves that. The sequence from the film showing the knife-wielding Angel was blown up and prints were shown to Angels and witnesses. For almost three months no one would admit knowing who it was who held the knife, but finally someone talked. Police at the time of the indictment would not say who had made the identification. Passaro, who has a police record for theft dating back to 1963, was, ironically, already in jail when indicted. He had been arrested in San Jose in July, 1969, for the sale of marijuana and for theft, had pleaded guilty to the former, but sentencing was held up to await disposition of the latter. He had been free on bail at the time of the Altamont killing. Between the killing and his indictment, he had pleaded guilty on the theft charge and was sent to jail. He was the only Angel indicted, although there is the strong possibility other indictments will follow, now that the identification block has been broken. The Maysles' film clearly shows Angels stomping Hunter after the stabbing, and police feel that identification of them may now be relatively easy.
Whatever they say now, the significant thing about the Alameda County Sheriffs on the evening of December 6, 1969, when the huge crowd gathered at Altamont, is that they were not there. Only two eyewitnesses have ever mentioned seeing any uniformed police officers anywhere that night, and the Sheriff says he had no plainclothesmen at the event. Bill Belmont, who was equipment manager for The Rolling Stones' coast-to-coast tour and who was on the Altamont site for more than twenty-four hours before the show began, says there simply were no police, at least not before the show began, when he went looking for some. "We had to get an emergency highway-patrol permit to bring in a crane to lift the big light towers into place and I jumped into my Rover and went looking for a cop and I couldn't find one. I eventually ran out of gas!"
Although there were no police at the concert site, there were security guards. One group consisted of half-a-dozen or so short-haired musclemen wearing golf jackets. These had flown out the night before from New York. And there were guards to protect the Altamont grounds. The rest of the security force consisted of Hell's Angels. They sat on the stage, lined the area in front of it, and controlled access to the backstage area. At nine the morning of the concert (which began close to noon) drunken Hell's Angels were brawling and cavorting and throwing full beer cans, according to Ron Schneider, the New York personal manager who had arranged The Rolling Stones' coast-to-coast concert tour and was functioning as the Stones' business manager. "I was terrified," Schneider said after the concert. "There was even a fight between the Frisco Angels and the Angels from San Jose. We were petrified to death. Even our own people were getting beat. We couldn't control anyone."

Arizona AG Horne's hit-and-run case delayed again
PHOENIX -- A court proceeding on a misdemeanor hit-and-run charge against Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne is being postponed again and his lawyer said he is trying to reach a settlement with prosecutors.
Horne's attorney requested and obtained a second one-month delay in a pretrial conference that was scheduled Monday in Phoenix Municipal Court.
Michael Kimerer's request said he needs more time to evaluate the evidence and interview critical witnesses. He also wrote in a Dec. 13 motion he is having ongoing settlement communications with city prosecutors he hopes lead to a resolution.
Horne is accused of not leaving a note after FBI agents saw him tap another vehicle while driving a borrowed car earlier this year.
Horne said he didn't think the other vehicle was damaged. He has pleaded not guilty.

You've probably just about recovered from how shockingly fantastic Killzone 2 looks now. You know all about the unparalleled facial animations that give even Half-Life 2's mo-capped emoting a run for its money, and we've told you good and proper about the scintillating gunplay. Yes, to say Killzone 2 looks promising is a bit like saying beer is nice, that lying down is easy, or that a Pete Doherty remark is the obvious choice in these sorts of analogies.
But what of the multiplayer? With Killzone 2 spearheading the next wave
of PS3 titles, it'd be safe to assume that it'll be taking that assault online too. Resistance has proved a hit with PS3 owners so far, and Warhawk will surely storm PS3's servers. Yet so far Killzone 2's developer, Guerrilla, has kept schtum about what online options we can expect to see. A couple of very vague hints have been dropped, and PSW has seized upon them like a pack of hungry papps on a bleary-eyed Pete Doherty.
Let's work together
First up, we can definitely expect at least a two-player Co-op mode. Take Halo 3. When rumours started spreading that its developer, Bungie, was considering dropping the Co-op mode, all hell broke loose among the fanboys and their furious responses in forums made Bungie change its mind. Plus, Guerrilla's boss has said, "We're not talking about Co-op - at the moment", so it's there all right. Co-op is coming.
As for multiplayer options, Home will be used, as will Killzone.com, so we imagine there'll be scope for advanced clan-based gameplay. You'll be able to meet up with comrades and opponents in the social areas of Home to check out the rankings, talk tactics and throw down challenges to your heart's content. Expect online leaderboads here too, and perhaps even user-created content too - anyone want to design their own custom camouflage or edit footage of their best assaults? Perhaps pen some particularly fearsome clan tattoos? Potentially, Killzone 2's online world will be your oyster.

Gum Graft/Lift - Multiple Teeth
Before Connective Tissue Graft | After Connective Tissue Graft |
Dental Plastic Surgery:
Correct long-tooth syndrome with connective tissue graft
Connective Tissue Graft vs. New Method Invented by Dr. Chao
Have you ever felt that you have become "long in the tooth?" Do you show too much teeth, look too "toothy," your "teeth seem really long" or that the "roots of your teeth are exposed"? Many times this can be caused from recession of your gums. Gum recession is a fairly common consequence of overly aggressive tooth brushing, grinding your teeth, or periodontal disease. Common side effects are sensitivity to hot or cold liquids.
Over-brushing your teeth can occur with overly vigorous brushing, as you know. However what is not well-known is that gum recession can also occur by using a hard toothbrush, abrasive toothpaste or not being careful with the electric tooth brush. If you already have gum recession, use a softer tooth brush with non-abrasive toothpaste. Before you have the opportunity to consult with a professional, you may use the "roll technique," which calls for gently rolling the tooth brush from the gum to the teeth. Don't use the electric tooth brush as if you are brushing with a hand-held tooth brush. You may be double brushing your teeth and gum and thereby cause "electric toothbrush abrasion." Hold the electric tooth brush gently against the surface you desire to clean. Use the lightest pressure possible on the handle. Don't move the brush up and down or back and forth. Slowly and gently move the electric toothbrush from place to place. The electric tooth brush is already cleaning your teeth. Putting more pressure on the handle will only produce damage to the roots and the gums. Doubling the "pressure" does not double the fun! Read and follow manufacturer's instructions. See your dentist or hygienist for clarification, if any questions arise. Heavy grinding of your teeth minutely flexes the necks of your teeth. This flexing (called abfraction), according to some authoritative sources, can lead to the microscopic crystals that form the roots of your teeth to break off little by little. Eventually the gums will recede as the underlying root surface is lost. If you suspect that you clench or grind your teeth, consult your dentist regarding getting a night-guard. This appliance will protect your teeth from being worn down, besides preventing further gum recession.

The condition that most often underlies most gum recession problems is periodontitis, a genetic inflammatory disease condition associated infection caused by certain kinds of oral bacteria (periodontal pathogens). An aberration or glitch in the immune system leads to destruction of the connective tissue (gums and bone) supporting the teeth by one's own inflammatory process. White blood cells, instead of aiding the immune system to destroy infection-causing bacteria, undergo a process that results in the destruction of bone and gums. This process affects the gum line and causes the gums to recede. When the gums recede, the roots of the teeth are exposed. When the protective surface of the roots, called cementum, is worn away by over-brushing or decay, the teeth will become hypersensitive to cold and touch.
What can be done to restore the gum line to its normal position? First of all, the possible causes of gum recession must be dealt with. Proper brushing habits must be taught and learned. Bite guards should be worn consistently, if clenching and grinding is habitual. Periodontitis must be treated and then controlled by good home care followed by regular dental maintenance visits as prescribed.
Secondly, a "root coverage" procedure can be considered. There are a variety of surgical procedures to restore the gum line to its original position. The "gold standard" is the "connective tissue graft." This method incorporates two separate procedures. First, a thin piece of tissue is removed or "harvested" from the palate. Since this tissue comes from the patient, it is called an "autogenous" graft. The second part of this method requires a surgical procedure that makes a tissue flap. A flap is made by an incision extending from the recession site the adjacent teeth. Then the gums are "elevated" or peeled away from the underlying gum or bone. This filleting effect allows for a "pouch" in the gum into which the graft tissue is placed and stitched or sutured into place.

The advantage of this method is that it is "predictably" successful. Literature reviews of this method report various percentages of success, some of which approach 90% or better. The admitted disadvantage of this method is postoperative symptoms, such as bleeding and/or mild-moderate pain from the palatal wound. Cosmetically, the graft tissue may not match the surrounding tissue.
Other methods include using "donated" human collagen tissue or animal collagen tissue as graft materials. The success rates are reported to be generally less than the autogenous connective tissue graft.
Dr. Chao is the inventor of a soon-to-be published "breakthrough" method designed to treat gum recession in a minimally invasive way with minimal postoperative symptoms and without palatal grafting. Trademark and pending patents have been obtained both for the instruments as well as the method. It is expected that this method will be published world-wide in the near future. At this time this ground-breaking method of treating gum recession is only available at Dr. Chao's office for selected patients. Prospective patients are invited to call our office at 626-308-9104 for important information.

Have you ever thought about enhancing your smile by covering one or more of these roots that make your teeth appear too long?
Many times this condition can be corrected with periodontal plastic surgery or what is more commonly called a soft tissue graft.

Originally designed to provide a safe escape from a disabled aircraft, parachutes are also used for dropping supplies and for slowing returning space capsules. The parachute was conceived by the 14th century, but practical demonstrations began only in the 1780s in France, leading in 1797 to a 3,200-ft (1,000-m) exhibition jump from a balloon by André-Jacques Garnerin (1769–1823); in 1802 he made a jump of 8,000 ft (2,400 m). Early parachute material was canvas, which was later replaced by silk and then nylon. See also skydiving.

text: you asked... Q&A: Is BPA safe during pregnancy? Should I be concerned about drinking from plastic bottles with BPA while pregnant? Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts Re: Should I be concerned about drinking from plastic bottles with BPA while pregnant? Yes, although more research still needs to be done. Bisphenol-A, or BPA, is a compound found in many plastic food containers, such as water bottles and cans that hold food. There has been some concern that exposure to BPA in extremely high doses may cause birth defects and miscarriage. Other studies have related BPA exposure in utero with low birth weight and childhood asthma, but more research is needed to confirm this link. In the meantime, it's a good idea to limit exposure to BPA during pregnancy.Not sure if your water bottle's safe? One way to identify plastics that may contain BPA is to look at the recycle code. Containers marked with a 3 or 7 may contain BPA, while containers marked with a 1, 2, 4, 5, or 6 are more likely to be BPA-free. Check the US Health and Human Services website (hhs.gov/safety/bpa) for more advice. [Updated 07-07-2011] Ashley S. Roman, MD, ob-gyn and clinical assistant professor at New York University School of Medicine re: Q: BPA safe while pregnant? Actually, there have been recent studies that DO show adverse effects in animals at doses relevant to human exposure right now. Because BPA is found in so many things, you can be exposed through a variety of sources (hard plastic, to canned food, to soda and beer can lining!). It was also found that the FDA's assessment relied heavily on industry information and documents (and of course, they're the first to say it's safe). Especially when pregnant, everything I've heard points to precaution-- better safe than sorry. Since BPA is a hormone disruptor, we don't even know what exposure can result in in the long term. It might not be seen as a "birth defect"- but I certainly wouldn't want to harm my child's reproductive ability already! A great site for BPA free baby bottles and other BPA and phthalate free things for myself especially since I'm pregnant and I want to limit all those chemicals is Green Healthy Baby-- www.greenhealthybaby.com gsa1 | Q&A: BPA safe while pregnant? It should be noted that the FDA does not exactly "protect" us as they should. There have been numerous studies they chose to ignore. Not just with plastics but with skincare products, there are a lot of dangerous chemicals in our everyday items like shampoo, cosmetics, even baby products. http://ewg.org/BPA/newsrelease/Deja-vu-At-FDA-With-BPA Also there is something to be said about plastics when an entire country (australia) is banning BPA. The Environmental Working group is a non profit organization that has released numerous studies on toxins. There website is very informative about facts, not the BS the medical community is feeding us. Sorry to offend, but we all need to wake up! here is the skin deep report- you can look up many products in this data base http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/ gigi_rafael | Q&A: BPA safe while pregnant? I agree with the previous 2 posters; everything I have read about BPA and its history in medicine and industry leads me to avoid it. The most recent FDA studies into BPA (the ones which say it is not a threat) were based on research done in 1983! BPA exposure at even low levels can contribue to childhood obesity, early onset of puberty, and behavioral problems in children. I recently stopped using my Nalgene bottle and bought a stainless steel one to be on the safe side. One good bit of news: BPA leaves the human body within about 10 hours, so the changes you make now can really make a difference! dathryn07 | Q&A: BPA safe while pregnant? Camelbak has water bottles that are BPA free too. Stenny | Q&A: BPA safe while pregnant? Might as well play it safe and avoid it. Treat yourself to a nice new aluminum water bottle, or a BPA-free plastic one. P.S., They also make lots of BPA-free baby bottles, or glass ones, which are also great, so you can get those for your baby, too! I used the Born Free brand for my daughter. Wife4ayear | Q&A: BPA safe while pregnant? BPA is very harmful, especially to babies, fetus' and children! Please research this so that you can see for yourself. Don't take a chance with your babies health and development. Here is a link to a BPA article from CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/01/15/fda.chemical.bpa/index.html. P.S. Gerber baby food has high BPA levels. And BPA is so bad that 3 US states and Canada have out lawed it. Wal Mart has removed all BPA baby items from its shelves. debbiesherman | Q&A: BPA safe while pregnant? This does sound concerning. But at the same time, I have to laugh at the thought that if I switch to aluminum bottles, by the end of my pregnancy I might see a question posted on here about if aluminum bottles are safe and then read an answer about some new study that shows it's toxicitiy to momma and baby. tguarnieri26 | Q&A: BPA safe while pregnant? I thought the same thing about the aluminum bottles... they could be just as harmful! exit109rb | Q&A: BPA safe while pregnant? In my personal opinion, you should use BPA free products in every day living. I have purchased a reusable aluminum bottle for my filtered water. This is better for our environment any way :) jnmheim | Q&A: BPA safe while pregnant? You should simply avoid BPA in every possible way. Using stainless steel or aluminum bottles for your water is best, but if you use plastic, make sure it's labeled BPA free. evajean85 | Q&A: BPA safe while pregnant? I agree that pregnant or not, you should try to avoid BPA. Also look for BPA free products for your baby like pacifiers and bottles. odietamo | Q&A: BPA safe while pregnant? Well, I have to say that after reading all of this I began to panick! But just so you know, I have called Ozarka and there store bought bottled water is BPA safe. It's just there Gallen Jugs that are still not but they are transitioning to be safe as well. I am still waiting to hear from Dasani. tjd22 | Q&A: BPA safe while pregnant? I drink bottled water almost every day while I am at work. As long as you do not leave a water bottle in a hot car or it sits for a while after you have opened it I think you are fine. Women have been having healthy babies for years and all this stuff I think is alittle over whelming. I feel like women think they should be put in a bubble! Live your life as normal as possible but do avoid things you know could do serious harm to your baby. nicole4311 | Q&A: BPA safe while pregnant? Mamas, look at the past... our mothers never heard of avoiding half the things they tell us are horrible for our health and the health & development of our babies. we all turned out just fine! if you really think about it, what do we have in this advanced society? we have a new generation with a huge jump in autism and other issues, even with avoiding all these things they tell us to. not only are we living paranoid, but as pregnant women we are almost taught to be afraid of our own shadows! I say drink your water out of whatever you feel like, eat healthy, and don't drink, smoke or do drugs.. that is good enough for me! I have a perfectly healthy and advanced two year old, and I wasn't a nazi with checking labels! To each their own, and good luck ladies! I just hope you all aren't worried the ENTIRE pregnancy, let loose a lil bit and enjoy this wonderful time! :) TnT428 | Q&A: BPA safe while pregnant? In response to TnT428-- I agree that people in the past never thought about 1/2 these things, but most of the things we are told to avoid didn't even exist back then! BPA didn't even become mainstream until the mid-90s. I read in a recent science magazine that the main source of BPA in women comes from register tapes at the grocery store! You shouldn't worry so much that you stress yourself out for 40 weeks, but you SHOULD be very cautious. Autism and other disorders are more frequent now for a reason. It's what we are putting into our bodies. firstname.lastname@example.com | Q&A: BPA safe while pregnant? @ brianna hurley - What we put in our bodies is not the only reason for frequency of disorders. If you do research, which I have had to do for a biological science class, the blame falls more on vaccinations and genes of the parents and eviromental causes are left up for debate. I agree that you should be as care as you can be, but I also agree with TnT428. I would think constant stress and worry could ultimatly be more harmful to the baby - and this is coming from a worrier! LittleBabyL | Q&A: BPA safe while pregnant? There is an article on BPA in this month's Fit Pregnancy (April/May) and it talks about how there is a new study POSSIBLY linking BPA to autism. It's not 100% or obviously it would be on every single news outlet everywhere. Managing your exposure seems like it is a good idea just to be safe in case they turn out to be right. I equate it to people doing delayed vaccinations when they thought vaccines caused autism. As another poster pointed out BPA is on cash register receipts and in some plastics. I make sure the plastic bottles I use are BPA free. I also wash my hands after touching receipts, and before eating. I'm also making sure all the plastic in baby items I'm registering for is BPA free since obviously babies put everything in their mouths. Sassy Toys are cute and all seem to be BPA free. preggarstasha | Q&A: BPA safe while pregnant? I'm so sorry I completely remembered the article in Fit Pregnancy wrong. It was talkingabout cancer risk not autism. Sooooooooo sorry if I confused anyone. preggarstasha | Q&A: BPA safe while pregnant? I actually conduct research in a very related area (effects of environmental contaminants on neural development and learning and memory); and I've read a LOT of research articles on the effects of BPA, which has indeed been linked to obesity, early puberty, and a bunch of other things you wouldn't want your children to experience. The US is traditionally very slow at considering current research findings and adopting regulations to protect consumers, which I imagine is why BPA-containing products are still on the market here. Interestingly, BPA-containing products are banned in much of Europe due to nearly 10 years of research linking them to adverse health effects--especially in children. Do what you feel is best for you and your family, but I make a conscious effort to only use BPA-free products--with so many options on the market today its actually not very difficult. stephlynn15 | Q&A: BPA safe while pregnant? BPA is unsafe and so is aluminum. Aluminum has been linked to alzheimer's. Check your anti-perspirant, I bet it's full of aluminum! paraquita | Q&A: BPA safe while pregnant? We just stick with glass everything. Glass Tupperware (Pyrex), glass baby bottles, glass jars - reading just the little bit I have on BPA its no joke. Why risk it? BPA is linked to so many issues along with nitrates and other things. Yes, you can ignore it and say that so many women have healthy babies and such, but think, BPA actually impacts parts of your DNA and could effect you and your baby long term. Once you start eliminating things that contain BPA it gets easier after a while. And also, its not JUST heated plastic. There is BPA in canned foods, soda cans, other things like that. The BPA leaks off the lining and into your food. Also, plastic that IS "BPA Free" can still leak BPA when heated.

A 2010 report from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) raised further concerns regarding exposure of fetuses, infants and young children.In September 2010, Canada became the first country to declare BPA as a toxic substance.In the European Union and Canada, BPA use is banned in baby bottles Thank You Buy generic Lamisil mellinapostma | Q&A: Is BPA safe during pregnancy?

This is a rant! If you are considering a Generac, please support your fellow forum mate and tell them this story!
We were one house away from a 3-day power outage last year; we ran extension cords to them. So, my wife decided that this year we wouldn't be as lucky, and convinced me to buy a Generac 6500E portable generator. I shopped on-line and had it shipped --- total $900. Assembled it, ordered about $200 worth of extension cords, went to Home Depot for 2@5 gallon gas containers and fuel stabilizer, and bought 10 gallons of gasoline. The thing won't start! Read the manual twice, followed the instruction sticker on the machine ... nothing! Called Generac --- whoa! They could care less! Two people couldn't tell me where the spark plug was --- told me finally, that I shouldn't ever need to know that (although part of the self-maintenance it to clean and replace it). Finally they gave me the name of the nearest repair service. It never occurred to them to express concern that this was a brand new machine and that I was to somehow get a 300# thing into the trunk of my car, drive 45 minutes each way and leave the thing for a week!!!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by ronnatalie (My Page) on Tue, May 1, 12 at 11:17
You mean a GP6500E? Not that it excuses their lack of support, but there is a Q&A forum on their site http://www.generac.com/Portables/GP/Products/GP6500_and_6500E/ Did you put oil in the thing? It specifically will not run without oil (it detects this rather than just seizing up). |
- Posted by onthebrinck (My Page) on Tue, May 1, 12 at 15:34
You may be on to something ... Although they provided a pint of oil, when I opened the oil fill there was already oil in the well, and it appeared to be up to the beginning of the threads --- but I could be seeing some residue and the oil tank was, in reality, empty. The little oil dipstick kept reading enough oil, but I wonder if it just scraped along the threads. I read somewhere that it came shipped with oil, so I assumed this to be the case. In a brand new machine, why would there be a little and not a full tank, right? Anyway, the guy at the service center showed me the spark plug ... and he couldn't get it started either. I'll keep the forum posted as to how this works out. This post was not intended to criticize the performance of the generator but rather the lack of customer support --- always amazes me that so few people in the customer service departments of large companies ever know how to correctly deal with complaints --- why do they pick that job to begin with if they have no interest in people anyway? |
- Posted by ronnatalie (My Page) on Tue, May 1, 12 at 18:06
Not that it excuses anything but I believe the portable generator business was something they acquired from another company a few years back. |
Ranting when you did not follow the instructions is not exactly the vendors fault. |
- Posted by onthebrinck (My Page) on Wed, May 2, 12 at 11:55
I was convinced the engine had oil, and I wasn't or haven't been yet told otherwise. It's not as simple as knowing there's gasoline in it; I saw oil, when I put my finger in, it came up with oil on it ... why would the manufacturer put a little bit of oil and not an entire quart? |
Maybe because they tested the generator. |
"why would the manufacturer put a little bit of oil and not an entire quart?" They tested it and then drained the oil out for shipping (the same as any fuel in the tank). What remains also helps limit rust damage form condensation during shipping ans storage. Reading a dip stick is not all that hard. Remove, wipe off, insert, remove again and read. |
My name is Angi and I am with Generac Power Systems. I would like to further discuss your experience with you. At your convenience, please feel free to contact me directly. 1.888.436.3722 X2560 |
WOW,I hope Onthebrinck shares with us what Angi has to say. At least it is a good sign that Generac is monitoring what it's unhappy customers are saying. |
- Posted by onthebrinck (My Page) on Wed, May 9, 12 at 5:16
My wife's in the hospital for a few days/week ... I'll catch up with this post when I'm able --- soon. I, too, am interested in what Angi has to say. BTW ... generator was repaired and it was a loose wire --- as well as low oil. |
ontherbrinck - This is Angi from Generac. I just wanted to follow up with you to see if you still needed any assistance from us? If so, please feel free to contact me directly. |
I was witness to a generator, right out of the box, not supplying on one leg. It was opened up because we need to run a food service cooler with it, It was a wire not connected to a terminal as it was supposed to be. I don't recall what brand. |
If you cant find the spark plug, then you probably should not attempt to service the machine. |
- Posted by GeneratorXpert (My Page) on Tue, Jan 1, 13 at 8:50
If your still having problems with it now, you should take it back to Home Depot. I think I would have taken it back the first day. I hope you registered a warranty. If not sorry. Wish I could of made it to this thread a little bit earlier to through some advice about these generators, and how much of a pain they can be. Here's some advice to the newbies. If your thinking about getting a portable generator, go check out the Yamaha brand. They're the most reliable dealer of generators on the market. The only one that even comes close is the Honda, but Yamaha very well outweighs. It's features doesn't compare to other brands, and the price is always affordable. More info on Yamaha generators here. |

Looks like no one's immune from the downturn, not even Harvard. The Harvard Crimson and Associated Press are reporting that Harvard's endowment—the nation's biggest—has lost $8 billion in just four months.
For many years now, Harvard and other big endowments have moved away from garden variety equities and bonds, toward hedge funds, natural resources, venture capital, and other types of investments. They've been rewarded with double-digit gains for several years.
But the party's over. As of June 30, 2008, the Harvard endowment was worth $36.9 billion. The $8 billion hit amounts to 22%, the endowment's largest decline in modern history, and an amount that is larger than the entire endowments of all but just four other universities, according to the Crimson.
What's this mean for Harvard? Belt-tightening, for one. University President Drew Faust and Executive VP Edward Forst, in a letter to deans informing them of the loss, said it will require Harvard's faculties to take a "hard look at hiring, staffing levels, and compensation," the Crimson reports.
Harvard isn't alone. Universities across the country have been reporting endowment losses and hiring freezes/spending cutbacks to accomodate them. And there will probably be more schools caught in the economic downdraft before this recession is over.

"I had previously ordered Save the Dates from Wedding Paper Divas, and emails from them introduced me to Tiny Prints. I have friends that have used Tiny Prints before and I had never considered them...until now! I was looking for meet the baby party invitations and found the most adorable invitations on Tiny Prints. The customer service was superb and answered my questions via email. The designers were able to adjust font sizes to make the names fit, and the final product was beautiful. They finished printing early and the invitations arrived earlier than expected too. Although this was my first order, I can see myself becoming a long-time customer of Tiny Prints."

"I love this website. I love how you mailed out all of my invites out to my guests directly from your printer. It saved me the time to have to wait for the invites to be mailed to me, then have to address them, then buy stamps. You guys took care of it all. Thank you for making a process that could be a pain and making it painless!!!! Can't wait to use your website again!!!"

"I ordered these for my daughter's first birthday party, which will take place at our downtown aquarium. The process was quick and easy, and the invitations arrived earlier than expected. They look great, and I can't wait to show them off to our friends and family. Tiny Prints is making me look good!"
Oct 09, 2011
"I am so pleased with the Christmas cards we are sending this year with Tiny Prints! The graphics are clear and bright, the photos look great, and they always have such a huge range of choices.
We used them two years ago for our adopted daughter's birth announcement as well. I love how practically any design can be totally customized to fit what your project needs. Not all printing websites allow you to completely make it your own. I will use them again in the future, I'm sure!" -
Oct 08, 2011
"I needed invitations asap due to scheduling conflicts, and was pleasantly surprised that they were ordered, shipped and PERFECT in three days. It made my stress level go down as I planned my daughter's baby shower. She is having twin boys!! Confirmation emails were sent immediately and shipping sent in a timely manner.
Thanks again, Denise" -
Oct 05, 2011
"I was impressed by the selection of layouts offered by Tiny Prints versus other online photo sites. I was able to find the perfect announcement for our new baby boy, and it was easy and fun creating the layout. Standard shipping was on time and I couldn't be happier with the finished product!"
Oct 03, 2011
"This was my 3rd order from Tiny Prints and the 3rd time I have been 100% satisfied. The quality of the invitations was great and my order arrived early.

Oct 03, 2011
"I was so happy with my prints and my order from Tiny Prints that I can't wait to use them again for our Christmas Cards. Not only did the cards I order look more beautiful than on the picture, the quality of the paper was well worth the money. Even the envelopes were the thicker, nicer kind than the ones you usually get that are almost see through. The processing and shipping times were amazing!!! Overall, I was extremely happy with Tiny Prints and will use them going forward for all my Christmas, Birthday and any other events when ordering cards. Thank you Tiny Prints!!!"

If you've never used an oil on your face, you're missing out. Really. It sounds terrifying, especially for the oily-skinned, but newsflash: oily-skinned people benefit the most from the use of oil-based moisturizers and cleansers. I am telling you this based on personal experience. Every time I go to my dermatologist, a very intelligent, clinical fellow in his sixties (he's pretty handsome, too, whatever), he tells me to use oil-free products… but I've never had less acne or other concerns than when I use oil exclusively on my face. (And trust me, I've used the dermatologist-recommended Cetaphil and CeraVe moisturizer to horrific results.) But it's not just me; it's sort of like a relatively new development in beauty and skincare, and it is awesome. There's no way to describe the transformative powers of oil for moisturizing, repairing, cleansing, and purifying until you actually use them. So do it! Just don't tell Dr. Luck. Here are a few of my favorites…

PFC Energy, the consultancy, has come up with an interesting theory regarding Chesapeake's decision to do a string of joint ventures with major oil companies – it will keep the company from being bought out like XTO Energy was by ExxonMobil in December. If PFC is right (and its theory makes a lot of sense), the rumors that Chevron or others are looking to buy Chesapeake will not come to anything.
On January 4, Chesapeake announced its latest joint venture agreement, this time with Total, for the acquisition of a 25 per cent working interst in Chesapeake's Barnett Shale leaseholdings in a deal valued at $2.2bn. As with its previous joint ventures, this one leaves Chesapeake with a majority working interest position in the leasehold portfolio along with a commitment to pursue joint ventures in other geographic regions.
For those doing the deals with Chesapeake, the benefits are obvious: access to a resource base largely controlled by the US independents, as well as to the experience and expertise of Chesapeake's staff. But some had started to wonder whether Chesapeake was giving away too much. Indeed, it already had done four such deals.
But PFC says that Chesapeake's multiple-joint venture strategy may well have secured the company's future. According to the report:
With most of the leading acquisition candidates now engaged in joint ventures with Chesapeake, an acquisition move by any one of them (or by a potential outsider) could engender a messy response. Having Chesapeake as operator under these joint venture arrangements is one thing, but having a competitor as operator (and, presumably, the new keeper of the Chesapeake brain trust) would represent a substantial competitive advantage that the likes of BP, BG, Statoil and Total would surely resist.
PFC notes that with $6.5bn in cash proceeds and $6bn in forward activity (expected to extend through 2012) from the the five deals, Chesapeake is in an enviable growth position. And its former competitor, XTO, is about to become part of Exxon.

Press Release
(TORONTO), June 7, 2011 /CNW/ – The National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA) announced today the names of 42 selected bantam-aged players who will participate in the first annual Allstate All-Canadians Mentorship Camp. Hosted by NHL players under the leadership of 21-year NHL veteran Gary Roberts, the invitation-only camp will be held at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga, Ontario from August 2 to 6, 2011. The five-day camp will conclude with an inter-squad exhibition game on Saturday, August 6 at 1:00 p.m. ET.
Since its launch in November 2010, the Allstate All-Canadians program (www.allstate.all-canadians.com) has enabled NHL players and leading experts to successfully reach hundreds of thousands of young athletes, parents and coaches at every age and skill level across the country through the web, grassroots initiatives and special events, for the purpose of mentoring and guiding the next generation of Canada's hockey youth.
"We are incredibly pleased with the grassroots success of the program for players of all skill levels over the past several months," said Mike Ouellet, Chief of Business Affairs for the NHLPA. "Now we are looking forward to making a difference with a group of young players who have already been recognized in their own communities as elite prospects. A key goal of our camp is to help equip these athletes with information and tools to help them deal with the choices that lie immediately ahead in their hockey career plans. Who better to do that than NHL players who have gone down the same road and who have valuable experience and advice to share?"
Players attending the mentorship camp, which would not be possible without the generous support of Allstate Canada, will receive important instruction both on and off the ice. Classroom sessions will cover a variety of foundational topics such as nutrition, strength and fitness, sports psychology, financial responsibility and personal values. Parents will be invited to participate in selected sessions designed to equip families with the information they need to help make well-informed decisions.
"These young players and their families will learn how to strategically prepare to play hockey," said Gary Roberts. "We will emphasize how important it is to make a commitment to fitness, nutrition and mental development if they want to achieve longevity at an elite level. Today's game is played at such a high level that these young players need every edge they can find to be successful. We're going to show them how to get that edge early in their development."
"One of the key differentiators of the Allstate All-Canadians Mentorship Camp is the life lessons these young players will learn from today's stars and leading industry experts, including leadership, teamwork, perseverance and resilience," said Chris Kiah, President and Chief Executive Officer of Allstate Canada. "While not every young player is going to reach his ultimate hockey dream, many will take a place among the leaders of tomorrow in many different parts of Canadian society."

Sep 17, 2012 9:58 PM by Mark Thorsell - KPAX News
MISSOULA- Authorities have released the name of the man who investigators believe committed suicide by walking into a semi truck on the University of Montana campus.
Missoula County Sheriff's Department Public Information Officer Jason Johnson has identified the man as William Michael Peoples, 60, adding that, "from a coroner's office perspective, this incident appears to have been a suicide."
Johnson also stated that a family member contacted by the Sheriff's office said that Peoples had "done this before."
Peoples was caught under the rear wheels and dragged several feet before the truck came to a stop in the incident that happened around noon on Friday. Peoples died from blunt force trauma to his body, Johnson said.
Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Andrew Novak told us Friday that appeared the man threw himself under the wheels intentionally to kill himself.
The truck had been making deliveries on the east side of campus, behind the University Center, when the incident occurred.

Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas! – Festive Friday
This is the last Festive Friday post for 2012! I can't believe how quickly the time has flown and I have enjoyed this weekly slot SO much. Thank you to all of you who have joined in and contributed your posts to the linky, I know lots of people have enjoyed our shared ideas and I have certainly enjoyed working my way through them!
Today, as Christmas races towards me, I want to share my list of 'Seven Essentials for a Happy Heart', some of these things cost nothing but they make Christmas for me and mine.
- Oranges: The smell of citrus wafting through the house is hard to beat. We made pomanders last week and today I am drying orange slices in a low oven. I've sprinkled them with a little cinnamon and, when they are done, we will string them onto florist's wire along with cinnamon sticks and star anise before hanging them near the fire.
- Gingerbread: Another scent I can't do without; this year we are making gingerbread lanterns rather than a whole house. Four pieces of gingerbread with star and holly shapes stamped out glued together with icing to form an open topped box with a tea light inside – lovely.
- Father Christmas Bread: Every Christmas Eve I make bread dough, the children shape a piece each into a Santa shape, he's baked and then we eat him with soup in front of the fire.
- The Snuggle Sack: I write about this every year and readers are always very taken with the idea. I have a large Christmas sack which I fill with Christmas Eve goodness. It contains something cosy to wear (slippers, new pyjamas or a fleece blanket – there will be NO onesies), a DVD, a couple of books, wine for the grown ups, snacks and nibbles. It's very simple but it is one of our very favourite bits of Christmas.
- The Christmas Eve Show: We are not religious so we don't venture out to a Christmas Eve service but we do hold our own show. Each member of the family performs a turn, there is a programme, I compere and it gets sillier and sillier every year!
- Happy Day: We play 'Oh Happy Day' sung by Jack Jones every year to welcome Mr TS back home when he finally finishes work for Christmas. This year he is finishing on the same day as the rest of us which is a first so it will be played VERY loudly and there will be much dancing (from some of us – mainly me DG and BB!)
- Family: Cuddles, giggles, chats, belly laughs, time together. Nothing beats it.
This is my view as I sit on the floor in front of my fire writing.
All that's left for me to do is to wish you a Very Happy Christmas!
So, tell me, what is the one thing you absolutely MUST do to get you in the Christmas spirit?
If you have a festive blog post to share please pop it on the linky below. The Link is open until Christmas Day so you can add to it anytime. Any posts on a Christmas theme are very welcome, any which are inappropriate will be removed by my wrapping paper tube light sabre.

Merry Christmas Christine, hope you and your family have a good one.
Christmas seems to have bypassed me so far this year and I'm sorry I've not taken part in your lovely festive Friday …until today. Better late than never. Thank you xx
We still haven't got round to making gingerbread and the days are just going by too quickly – thanks for the reminder – it will be tomorrow's project. Today we have attempted Pannetone for the first time ever – it is just proving now so fingers crossed it will turn out ok. Happy Christmas xxx
I can't believe its the last Festive Friday already
The gingerbread lanterns sound fun, and there are no onesies in our snuggle sack either
Have a wonderful Christmas Chris. xxxx
What a wonderful list of special things. Wishing you all those special times again this year, and ye the snuggle sack is fab! going to link up too with this week's Country kids, hope that is OK?
Merry Christmas Chris!!
Santa Bread sounds awesome! Now all I need is an oven…
