I don't have a sketch for you, but I can say efficiency in moving when picking, packing, and shipping is important. How many steps does your picker have to move retrieve the part? Place your best sellers closest (fewest steps required) and consider putting them on a shelf closest to your hands. Same with supplies. Most frequently used boxes and/or mailers within hands reach. We like to set up our shipping station near the pickup area, so once a shipping label is printed, it is ready for pickup without additional movement.
Yeah it would be nice to see some photos of various size shipping departments. Any sites on that subject?

Hi there,
I'm in a jam right now and need a solution pretty quick, so I apologise in advance if this is in the wrong section.
I have a sinusoidal curve, that I've created using a third party app, which has worked really well. But the app only produces the form in a straight line and i now need to fit it to a number of curves.
I have a form of 3 radii and a couple of flats, which the sinusoidal form needs to fit along. All this work is just in 2D as i need to output the dxf into a CNC machine.
I hope this makes sense, can anyone help please!?!?!?!
Many, many thanks in advance.
start command _PEDIT and look for the options _FIT or _SPLINE (>>>details<<<).
HTH, - alfred -
Thanks for the quick reply.
My first problem, is that I'm not sure how either of these commands will work for my situation.
But I have now developed a second problem, in that I can't join the polylines of my form. At the moment I have 6 polylines all end to end in the form that i need, but the Join command won't join these lines.
I figure I need to get the form into a single polyline in order to fit the sonusoidal curve to my form.
Any ideas?
>> My first problem, is that I'm not sure how either of these commands will work for my situation.
I have set a link to the help of _PEDIT in my previous post, there you can read about _PEDIT and how it works.
>> I can't join the polylines of my form
Joining only works if the endpoints of the segments have the (exact) same coordinates. Any minimal distance would avoid the concatenation of two segments.
So verify (e.g. by command _ID and using objectsnap _ENDPOINT) that the endpoints match together.
If you are willing to allow some tolerance then you can use _PEDIT with the option for selecting multiple objects, that gives you a chance to input a tolerance-value when using option JOIN.

NEW YORK (AP) -- R.A. Dickey became the first knuckleballer to win 20 games in more than three decades, tying his career-high with 13 strikeouts and leading the New York Mets over Pittsburgh Pirates 6-5 Thursday behind David Wright 's tiebreaking, three-run homer.
A 37-year-old knuckleballer who had never won more than 11 games in any previous season, Dickey (20-6) overcame an outstanding, climbing catch by Travis Snider more than 2 feet above the right-field wall that robbed Mike Baxter of a tying home run in the second inning.
Dickey, throwing his hard knuckler at about 78 mph, fell behind 2-0 and 3-1. Former Texas teammate Rod Barajas doubled in a run and homered, but the Mets clawed back in their final home game of the season and took a 6-3 lead on Wright's homer in the fifth and held on in a nervous ninth.More »
SEATTLE (AP) -- Golden Tate shoved a Green Bay defender out of the way, wrestled another for the ball and was awarded a disputed touchdown on the final play. But it was another 10 minutes before the game actually ended, when the Seattle Seahawks and the stunned Packers were called back on the field for the extra point.
Replacement ref rage may have peaked Monday night.
Just when it seemed that NFL coaches, players and fans couldn't get any angrier, along came a fiasco that trumped any of the complaints from the weekend. The Seahawks' 14-12 victory featured one of the most bizarre finishes in recent memory, and was certain to reignite frustrations over the locked-out officials.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Just walking by the parking lot outside the Carolina Panthers ' stadium got Andre Brown 's blood pumping.
The Panthers, like four other teams since 2009, waived Brown after he failed to make a lasting impression. He's determined that won't happen again and that this time he'll find a home in the NFL with the team that originally drafted him - the New York Giants .
More »ATLANTA (AP) -- Peyton Manning knew there would be some stumbles along the way.
There had to be after four neck surgeries, a year away from the field, and the transition to a new team.
But even at his most pessimistic, Manning surely never envisioned a quarter like this.
One pick. Then another. Then a third.
All before he made it through the opening period Monday night.
More »SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- The San Francisco 49ers stymied 2011 NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers in Week 1, then record-setting Matthew Stafford in Week 2.
This stingy, opportunistic defense is again making its mark as one of the league's best facing the top offenses and most prolific passers - and that you can shake on.
More »EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Eli Manning needed a near-record performance to make up for his own mistakes and help the Super Bowl champion New York Giants avoid a second straight loss.
More »PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- With the game on the line, Michael Vick made all the right decisions - again.
Vick scored on a 1-yard TD run with 1:55 left, helping the Philadelphia Eagles overcome a slew of turnovers to beat the Baltimore Ravens 24-23 on Sunday for their second straight comeback win.

I like the way this product makes my face look. I dont own alot of foundation because i dont use alot of it. But this stuff does last a long time (Idk about 24 hrs). The only thing i dont care for is that i feel like i have to work fast with this product because it dries fast? But using a stippling brush, makes the application smoother and more even.
More reviews by KatrinTreichel
I like this foundation. I am someone who rarely wears foundation so I don't have much to compare it to. But this is about 10 bucks and worth every penny, my skin is super sensitive and this doesn't irritate it at all. I really like Maybelline foundations. The only thing is that if I don't apply it will a stippling brush it looks heavy so I recommend a stippler.. :)
This is my current fave. I was using Estee Lauder Double Wear but it was getting a little pricey for me. Porcelain Ivory is a perfect match for my skin. This stuff is great and I reccommend everyone with oily skin try this. It has good coverage and a really nice finish. I apply it with my mac 187 stippler and I couldn't be happier.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Like many others out there, I'm constantly on the search for a better foundation. So I was just browsing through some of the aisles in the beauty section at Target and noticed how much cheaper the makeup was compared to my local drugstores (even with the BOGO, it's ridiculous). So I heard some mixed reviews on this foundation and wanted to try it out for myself. I can't help but compare it to the Revlon Colorstay foundation that I've been using for the past 2 years; they're pretty similar, except for a few little differences that make me like this foundation more. I find that the shades suit my olive/tan skin tone much better than the slightly beige undertones of Colorstay. One little downside is that it fades a bit; I apply this on at 6 in the morning and am out and about until around 7 when I take my makeup off. I noticed a bit of fading as my acne scarring (which I don't cover up all the time) was peeping through a bit more than it was when I applied the foundation in the morning. But I'm all over the place for 13 hours, lol, and that's a considerable amount of time to have a foundation on. But despite that problem, I really do prefer this foundation over Revlon Colorstay. It doesn't have that strong paint smell, looks a bit more natural, I find that it is buildable, and lasts just as long as Colorstay.
(If anyone was wondering, I purchased this at Target for $8.94. Colorstay was $10.29 and I took off a lippie because of it's tendency to fade a bit more than colorstay)
If you have the chance, I recommend that you try it out for yourself. It's worth the 8 bucks!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Actually like this better than mufe mat velvet that I bought a few months ago. The mufe makeup was too thick and sets entirely too fast for me. I read about this one on a few blogs & on youtube and figured for $5 it was worth a try. Although not my HG this will be my go to foundation for now. I get awesome buildable coverage with a stippling brush & it doesn't transfer all that much. I maybe have to blot about twice a day with this and the color match on me is almost 100%, NW47
I think this is the best drug store foundation you can buy. It lasts longer than Revlon ColorStay. And it goes on smooth, has great coverage, and doesnt get cakey. I use the lightest shade, and it tends to turn a orangish color if I don't blend good enough. It does get a little shiny through out the day. I've bought this product twice now, and i will definately continue to buy it.
More reviews by guanacaxlatina
Great foundation if you can find your shade..
It has excellent coverage, its medium to full coverage but i found that it was way too orange/pinkish to me.. i have true yellow undertones i would be NC37- NC40 in studio fix fluid and in sheer matte i am a syracuse (a bit too dark but not as noticable as this foundation)
its funny because in some light this has somewhat yellow undertones, but i went to my bathroom and whoa tooooo pinky orange for me!!!
its such a shame i would have really love to find a drugstore foundation that would actually match my yellow/golden undertones!!! i have tried them all and it seems my skin likes expensive taste as mac studio fix fluid broke me out and the only one i can wear is the nars.. lol .. oh well!!
More reviews by sarahhjosephinee
Not a fan, too oily, transfers, orange looking after a while..
I have oily skin and this just did not work for me as I had hoped it would..
I got this on a sale, Firstly I think anyone who uses Revlon colorstay for N/D should try this, it may work for you and save you money.I really loved how easy it was to blend super silky feeling. Sadly This does not suit my skin type (sensitive- combination/oily?) All the shades are very orange/pink toned closest match for me was classic beige, It Became very oily and shiny within 3.5 hrs wear, it transfers as well, despite saying transfer resistant there is no way it would be heat resistant to my Australian summer days! Going to stick with revlon colorstay C/O !
I've been using this for months and still currently with my first bottle. I do have my downfalls about this foundation like every foundation I've tried. But the Pros have outed the Cons and I've grown into how I actually like the consistency of this product.
I have very oily skin, that foundation tends to clog my pores and make it worse. But with this foundation its so light and airy that I feel like I have nothing on my face. I've always liked Maybelline's products, and I trust it on a daily basis and I use it for when I'm going out.
The coverage of this foundation is pretty amazing, seeing I have very uneven skin tone, and concealer doesn't seem to always cover it up, this foundation covers it up without looking caked on.
The only downfall I do have of this product is that it's not long wearing and tends to transfer on fabrics (as in shirts, sheets etc.) and I worry about leaning against bright colors. But other than that I do like this product and I can easily recommend as it doesn't make me oily and its moisturizing.

I recently joined this site and thought it would be a good place to post my question. I am a student in an engineering class in which you have to design a solution to an existing problem. I have been making candles for several months, so I have not had much experience in it, but I was wondering if there might not be something I could fix. If you have been making candles and have come across a recurring problem - with equipment, with the process, etc., I would really appreciate it if you could post a reply or email me with your suggestions. Thanks for your time:). |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have made container candles for several years, and I can honestly say that I can't think of anything that could improve my production. I wish you luck. Susan |

There were some minor things that happened last week that I didn't get around to blogging, mostly because none of it by itself seemed to warrant a blog. I'm cleaning out my post suggestion emails today and I thought I would just list some of them here briefly.
Shah of Sunset premiere has been pulled indefinitely. The premiere was set for October 13th but the post production crew has walked out. A curious thing has been going on with reality show production workers. Primarily in New York and California, production crews on reality TV are pushing to join the unions that normally represent scripted television. The whole reason reality shows became so popular was a writer's strike by scripted writers many years ago. During the strike, networked hustled to find new things to put on the air and a variety of reality shows, game shows, and singing contests hit the airwaves. Production workers then began to work in reality based TV that was not unionized. Now that reality shows have script writers and production works long insane hours, they are not wanting to work as independent contractors anymore and to be covered like normal employees with medical benefits and sick days. Shahs is produced by a subsidiary of Ryan Seacrest Productions and they supposedly open to negotiations but nothing has happened yet so post production is walking the picket line.
Wendy Williams returns tomorrow. She has promised to literally eat crow on the episode after promising that she would if Kim and Kanye lasted over 72 days. I know she is often wrong about her hot topics, but I still sort of miss her show when it is not on. Will you be watching? I'm hoping this helps me to get up earlier in the mornings and stop staying up all night. Continue reading

Giants LB Connor arrested at Philly airport
Police and team officials say New York Giants linebacker Dan Connor was arrested at Philadelphia International Airport after federal authorities alleged that a switchblade was found in his luggage.
A police spokeswoman said Sunday that a Transportation Security Administration officer spotted the knife on an X-ray machine monitor as Connor was trying to enter an airport terminal at 9 a.m. Saturday.
Police were called and the 27-year-old Connor, of Charlotte, N.C., was arrested and charged with possession of an offensive weapon. The police spokeswoman said he was released on his own recognizance.
Giants spokesman Pat Hanlon said team officials were aware of the situation and have spoken to Connor, ''who is cooperating with the authorities in Philadelphia.''

text: In a community rich with iconic buildings, few structures reflect Cedarburg's sense of historic preservation better than Landmark Feed, Seed & Supply, N58 W6181 Columbia Rd.The stone mill has towered over Columbia Road along the banks of Cedar Creek for more than 150 years. It has long been a favorite setting for tourists snapping quintessential scenic shots and painters trying to capture days of yore on canvas.The mill was constructed by Frederick Hilgen and William Schroeder in 1844 and is reported to be the oldest continually operating business venue in the city.The mill stands five stories high, and its stone foundation walls are 32 inches thick.But owners Doug and Lynn Wilde note that the stately structure is also home to a thriving business.The couple bought Landmark Feed in 2005. They also own pet food shops in Slinger and Menomonee Falls.The Cedarburg store carries a huge stock of pet foods and supplies, as well as the area's largest selection of feed for wild birds."We put a lot of work into building the business back up after the previous owner had let it tank. We did a lot to clean the place up, but it is pretty hard to keep a feed store pristine," Mrs. Wilde said."The Cedarburg store has always had a reputation for its bird seed, but we want to make it more rounded in providing a greater selection of pet foods and supplies."The store now carries dog food from 23 companies and cat food from 21 makers. It will be adding the full line of Purina animal feed by the end of the month."A lot of what people will find at our store are holistic foods, and high-end items they aren't able to purchase at the grocery store," Wilde said.Eight formulas of horse feed are offered, along with feed to meet the needs of virtually any hobby farmer, with products for animals from poultry to pot-bellied pigs.Still, birds and their preferred menus are the stock that make Landmark Feed distinct.Reflecting the love many Ozaukee County residents have for their feathered neighbors, the store touts more than 100 mixes of seeds for birds.The specific recipes are critical because migrating and resident birds are discriminating diners. The mixes are custom blended by the store's vendors.A songbird mix includes black oil and striped sunflower seed, cracked corn, white millet, milo, wheat and oat groats created to attract a wide range of colorful and tuneful birds to backyard feeders.Fanciers of cardinals can get a specialized feed that mixes sunflower seeds, cracked corn, white millet, sunflower hearts, safflower, oat groats, canary seed, red millet, nyger seed and nut meats.To draw finches to feeders, the store has developed a mix called Thistledoo — which contains fine sunflower chips, nyger seed, canary seed, white millet, finch millet, red millet, flax seed, rape seed and fine oyster shell grit.With an eye for the picky homeowner, the store has developed its no-waste mix, which includes 100% edible seeds that leave no mess around the feeder. That mix is sold at the onset of winter, so homeowners won't find a pile of seed shells on the ground when spring arrives.Other blends include seeds that are appealing to specific birds while being spurned by undesirable species, or even voracious squirrels."I pick up a lot of information from the serious birders who come into the store. They are always glad to share which birds like what types of seed, and we pass that information along to the less-knowledgeable birders," Wilde said.An example of that ever-growing database is the tip that putting meal worms on your feeder is a great way to attract eastern bluebirds.A staggering array of feeders and bird houses is stocked, from the practical to the ornate."The real birders don't care too much what the feeders look like as long as they work. Then there are those who are more interested in getting something that looks cutesy to decorate their yard," Wilde said.The store offers custom mixes of grass seed designed to meet the specific sun and soil needs of the area. Wildflower and prairie grass seeds are also available.Although the store does a steady business, Wilde admitted that much of the traffic who have no intention of picking up feed."The mill draws a lot of tourists, but they aren't usually too interested in walking out with a big bag of seed under their arm," she said."Tourists are always welcome because we realize that the building is a big part of local history. After all, this was a feed mill from the time it was built."

Synopsis: A cautionary tale between a superior species and its disgraced inferior... Favoring pedigree dogs, a new regulation puts a severe tax on mixed breeds. Owners dump their dogs and shelters become overcrowded. 13-year-old Lili fights desperately to protect her pet Hagen, but her father eventually sets the dog free on the streets. Hagen and his pretty master search desperately for each other until Lili loses faith. Struggling to survive, homeless Hagen realizes that not everyone is a dog's best friend. Hagen joins a gang of stray dogs, but is soon captured and sent to the pound. With little hope inside there, the dogs will seize an opportunity to escape and revolt against mankind. Their revenge will be merciless. Lili may be the only one who can halt this unexpected war between man and dog. [Synopsis courtesy of Cannes Film Festival]
An exclusive poster for a Cannes-winning film about a girl and her dog (but much darker than you imagine).

Monitoring the Implementation of the Belém Framework for Action: International Expert Meeting, 25–27 January 2011
From 25 to 27 January 2011, an international expert meeting on monitoring the implementation of the Belém Framework for Action will be held at the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) in Hamburg, involving a small group of experts and researchers with technical knowledge and experience in non-formal adult education from UNESCO Member States, international agencies and civil society organizations from all regions.
The Belém Framework for Action, adopted at the Sixth International Conference on Adult Education (CONFINTEA VI), emphasises the indispensable roles of literacy and adult education as integral elements of lifelong learning, and underlines the critical importance of sector-wide education polices and development plans based on a holistic lifelong learning perspective. Affirming the right to adult education as an inherent part of the right to education, the Belém Framework aims to guide countries in harnessing the power and potential of adult learning and education for a viable future.
To induce concrete progress in the field, the Belém Framework contains proposals and recommendations to improve policy, governance, financing, participation and the quality of adult literacy, adult education and lifelong learning and outlines mechanisms to report on progress at national and regional levels, calling upon UNESCO to support the follow-up and monitoring at the international level, namely:
to coordinate, through the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning in partnership with the UNESCO Institute for Statistics, a monitoring process at the global level to take stock and report periodically on progress in adult learning and education.
In response to this call, UIL has teamed up with the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) to prepare the task. An Overall Monitoring Strategy and a Monitoring Matrix have been drafted to provide key tools for the monitoring process. Contributions made in an open online consultation forum which was conducted by UIL from 29 October to 18 November 2010, with 330 individuals from governments, NGOs and academia, have further enriched the tools.
The objective of the International Expert Meeting is to discuss and finalise the key tools for monitoring the Belém Framework for Action, specifically to amend the Overall Monitoring Strategy; finalise the Monitoring Matrix; come up with a core set of indicators which can be applied to a diversity of contexts and suggest possible areas of research to generate information for the monitoring process.

I just got a waterfall Japanese maple for my birthday. I live in an apartment in San Francisco near the beach, where it's very windy and salty, and whatever I bring outside gets infested with caterpillars. So I would like to grow this tree indoors.
I have found a lot of forums that talk about how you shouldn't do this, but there is always the one or two people that say they do grow theirs indoors (and leave no instructions on how they've made it work). Some time next year I'll be moving to Virginia, where I'll be able to take it outside, so this is just a temporary situation. So my question is, what can I do to grow a healthy japanese maple tree indoors? Should I mist it? What happens if the tree does not get a dormant period (it wouldn't anyway in SF). What should I do when I do finally take it outside? Will that even work, or would the change kill it? Thanks,
Follow-Up Postings:

Hey, Nicole! Japanese maples really do belong outside. Indoors, a Japanese maple will steadily decline - sometimes they'll live a few years, Misting doesn't do anything for the tree (or for any plants, really) Have you kept the tree indoors? Josh |
Hi Josh, I have not put the tree outside, because not much survives out there. It is very windy, the air is a bit salty, and the biggest problem: caterpillars. Right now, the leaves are drying out at the edges. It doesn't look that great but there are some buds on it. Any suggestions on how to keep the caterpillars off? I may be able to block the wind a bit. |
greenman28 is right the tree is deciduous which means it will need a dormant period to regather itself. I know a person in Hawaii who uses a fridge that he places his tree's in for the suggested dormant time for healthy recuperation. I've never done this myself since I haven't had the need to but it should be feasible. I have heard by some though that this method takes practice and you need to get the knack for getting just right or you could kill the tree which might happen on the first few attempts. My advice would be should you consider trying this method that you acquire (if possible) some cheaper deciduous trees to do some test runs with. |
- Posted by Lukefast(firstname.lastname@example.com) onFri, Apr 22, 11 at 17:37
I have a similar question, however, I live in Utah. I technically can grow this outside with no issues but I was wanting to try taking my Japanese maple to work and keep it at my desk. From reading some forums and from what I read, this tree needs to have this dormancy period. So what if I grew it in my open office building, use a grow light then take it outside in the fall. Would my maple survive? |
Any plant that is indoors for a long period of time needs to be put in heavy shade outside. This is to protect it from the bright sun light. |

Final Thoughts
Now, I am sure that many of you will read this and feel that it is a slam on the iPad. After all, I have covered many of the shortcomings of the product. But still, the iPad is not all bad. There are many items that are very good and many more that show great promise with some time and real effort on the part of Apple.
The idea behind the iPad is a good one; it is solid one. However, the controlling and proprietary nature of Apple takes what could be an outstanding product and stifles it into a mediocre one. I simply cannot wait to play with this thing once there is a jail break available for it. Once the software limitations imposed by Apple are removed, this thing will be stellar. We also hear that Apple is working on the next version of the iPhone OS. In Version 4.0 we will see a very simplistic form of multitasking, as well as a better online gaming interface (stolen from MS, Sony and Steam).
The other issue with the iPad is the storage size. If this is truly a computer that is capable of productivity work then it should have quite a bit more room to store items on it. Of course, this would take control from Apple and is not in keeping with their cloud services MobileMe. So the limitations and issues with the iPad that we talk about above are all about revenue stream and continuing to get money from your pocket. Of course, I am not opposed to a company making money, but I am when they do it in the manner Apple does.
To wrap up my rant here, the iPad is not there yet. It is overpriced and limited by the OS and Apple's xenophobic ways. We do think that a good jail break will open it up a lot more and could make one of these worthwhile (with the proper development support and apps). We hope to let you know if the 3G model with 32GB of space is better value sometime in the near future, but we are not sure if we are willing to invest that kind of money again so soon, especially considering that it will be at least $230 more than what we have already spent on the 16GB WiFi one (32GB 3G iPad is $729.00).

or "I'm Opting Out."
My family spent Thanksgiving with the extended clan, 40 people spanning four generations around the table. We were around several tables, actually, and we all thought it was one of our best gatherings yet, with fantastic food at every meal and interesting conversations in each room of the house. There were new in-laws we had not yet met, and there were lots of new babies. Oh, the babies.
We didn't spend a fortune on food or activities, and we didn't go shopping, either during the wee hours of Black Friday or on Cyber Monday or any time in between. Our holiday was a good one because we enjoyed each other free of charge.We returned home to news reports that holiday shopping showed signs of loosening wallets and that Americans spent $52.4 billion over that weekend, up 16 percent from last year. The National Retail Federation projects holiday retail sales will exceed $465 billion this year, and that's considered just a modest gain from previous years.
Not to sound like a curmudgeon, but I just don't get it. I don't get what we're spending all this money on, all of these billions of dollars. In the glow of a grand Thanksgiving, I have determined to put my foot down, fold my arms in defiance and refuse to have my holidays eclipsed by cash. I am opting out.Fortunately, my family agrees. Despite our nation's heavy focus on money, we have decided to scale back on gift-giving this holiday season because we all came to the same conclusion—we don't need any more stuff. We need each other.
In past years, I have enjoyed gift shopping for others, absolutely savoring the prospect of matching the perfect gift with each name on my list. I would spread out all the purchases and carefully wrap them with the recipient in mind, and I would present them with watchful anticipation, hoping my loved ones would be pleased.
But there comes a time when you realize you have enough things, and someone suggests a simplified gift exchange, maybe drawing one name to shop for instead of shopping for all 15, or 40. And maybe the name drawing evolves into a group gift or a charity donation, and you realize that it isn't the gift exchange that you relish so much, it's the family and friends that bring so much delight.
Every year about this time, PNC Bank prices the gifts named in the holiday song "The Twelve Days of Christmas," and the prices reflect the ups and downs of general goods and services. For example, the cost of a partridge in a pear tree is up 14.2 percent this year at $184.99. The price of five golden rings is slightly down for a total of $645. Seven swans a-swimming are up to $6,300. And eight maids a-milking working one hour each at minimum wage will cost just $58. Their wages haven't increased since last year, so that's a stagnant figure. If you were to purchase every gift in the song, you'd spend $24,263.18.
But there isn't a single item from these lyrics on my Christmas list—not a laying goose or a turtledove or a leaping lord. My kids have asked what I would like, and all that came to mind was a bottle of scented goodness from Crabtree & Evelyn. I can't get enough of the stuff, and the nearest store is more than an hour's drive from home. But if I don't find that bottle under the tree on Christmas morning, I won't miss it.
Come visit me instead, dear children of mine. Make me laugh, bake cookies with me and sit beside me through all of "It's A Wonderful Life" without complaining, and I'll be just fine. Leave the golden rings on the store shelf and bypass the drummers and the calling birds and the poor milk maids in need of a raise. Those things won't make my holidays any brighter or more meaningful anyway.
Emerson said, "The greatest gift is a portion of thyself." Whether you're giving or receiving, that's a gift that can't be factored by any price index. It can't be projected or measured against last year's spending totals. Yet, it's the best gift of all.

The 1861-S Paquet reverse double eagle was not discovered until 1937. Walter Breen notes that: "Paul Wittlin turned up 25-30 in French and Swiss banks in the mid-1950s, mostly VF to EF with plenty of bagmarks." Apparently, these coins account for most of the known examples. The four pairs of dies that the Philadelphia Mint shipped to California, in November 1860, each contained an experimental tall letter reverse. Attributed to Assistant Engraver Anthony C. Paquet, these dies produced 19,250 1861-S double eagles that were destined to become the rarest issue of their denomination from the San Francisco Mint. Unknown in Mint State, AU examples are highly desirable. An undeniably attractive specimen, this coin displays reddish-golden surfaces, with a single red alloy spot noted near the eagle's left (facing) talon. A few trivial circulation marks are seen on each side, but these are minimal in terms of the coin's overall eye appeal. With ample remaining definition, this is a problem-free and immensely desirable representative of this prized rarity.

Leadership Team
[ Learn
about our Mission, Vision and Values. ]
Sheriff Craig Roberts
Craig Roberts
was sworn in as the Sheriff of Clackamas County on Jan. 4, 2005, and
re-elected to office in November 2007. Born and raised in Clackamas
County, Roberts has risen through the ranks of the Clackamas County
Sheriff's Office over the past 30 years. After starting out as a reserve deputy in
1979, he was hired full time in 1982, and subsequently joined the SWAT team, serving for
10 years as a member of the elite tactical unit. After five years on patrol,
he transferred to an undercover narcotics unit, working cases that led
to the successful prosecution of major drug trafficking organizations
in federal court.
Promoted to detective
after five years on the drug unit, Roberts started working property crimes
before moving up to investigating armed career criminals and ultimately
rape and homicide cases. As a father of three, he was especially
affected by cases that involved the death or abuse of children, which
prompted him to launch several initiatives to address the problem.
First among these was the Child
Abuse Team
-- a group of dedicated investigators that combined the resources of
law enforcement, social services, the medical community and other
professionals to identify and protect children in danger of abuse. For
two years, Roberts worked at CARES Northwest
at Legacy Emanuel Medical Center, a medically-based child abuse
assessment and intervention program based in Portland that serves 1,400
families each year. Roberts worked with abused children and served as a
liaison for other law-enforcement agencies to the center.
In 1999, he launched the Child Abuse & Family Violence Summit.
The annual event is now recognized among the best conferences in the
nation. In 2008, it brought more than 700 participants from across the
United States and around the world. Other initiatives followed,
including the multi-agency Domestic Violence Enhanced Response Team, which he
led as its director, and the National Family Violence Apprehension Detail
— a coordinated warrant sweep by law enforcement agencies all over the
country, which has served as a model for more recent federal efforts.
After being elected in 2004, Roberts introduced Crisis Intervention Team
training to the Sheriff's Office, to better prepare deputies for
encounters with persons suffering with mental illness. He also
championed a $42.7-million public-safety levy, passed by voters in
2006, that re-opened 84 jail beds that had previously been shuttered
due to lack of staff.
Since becoming Sheriff in 2004, he has
developed two new multi-jurisdictional teams to address specific
criminal threats. To combat the trafficking of methamphetamines and
other illegal drugs, Roberts created the Clackamas County Inter-agency Task Force,
which combines local, state and federal resources. Then, recognizing
the danger to children from Internet sexual predators, he formed INTERCEPT
— the Inter-agency Child Exploitation Prevention Team. It includes the
sheriff's offices in Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington counties, as
well as state and federal partners, who work together to detect,
investigate, arrest and prosecute predators.
In 2007, building on the expertise of the Clackamas County Sheriff's
Office in search and rescue operations, Roberts launched Northwest SARCon.
The fall conference brings nationally recognized leaders and experts to
Oregon, to educate public safety officials and volunteer search teams.
2008, he emerged from the May primary with almost 80 percent of the
vote in a three-way race, clearing the path for another four-year term
in office.
Undersheriff Matt Ellington
Matt Ellington was appointed Undersheriff by Sheriff Roberts on June 1, 2009. He first joined the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office as a Cadet in 1986. Three years later, he became a Reserve Deputy; one year after that, he became a full-time Deputy Sheriff in the Patrol Division. Ellington has served as a detective, sergeant, lieutenant, and captain. During his career, he has worked on many assignments -- including the Special Investigations Unit, Special Weapons And Tactics Team (SWAT), Child Abuse Team and Search & Rescue. He holds an executive certificate and is a graduate of the FBI National Academy.
Undersheriff Ellington supervises our Patrol, Investigations, and Support Services divisions.
Chief Deputy Kevin Layng
Chief Deputy Kevin Layng was appointed by Sheriff Roberts in February 2014. He started his career with the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office in 1987, after serving four years as a Law Enforcement Specialist in the United States Air Force. He worked in the CCSO Special Investigations Unit, the Regional Organized Crime Narcotics task force and Patrol operations until being promoted to Sergeant in 1999. Chief Deputy Layng remained in the Patrol Division as a sergeant until 2006 when he moved to the Detective Division to supervise the Homicide and Violent Crimes Unit. Chief Layng was promoted to Lieutenant in 2008, then Captain in 2009. While holding the rank of Captain, he worked primarily as the Patrol Division Commander, managing patrol operations and special units attached to patrol, such as K9, Marine, Traffic and Search and Rescue.
Chief Deputy Layng has been attached to the Sheriff's Office SWAT team in several capacities since 1990, working from a deputy position up to the Team Commander. Under his guidance, the team transitioned to a multi-agency unit, taking on police officers from several city police agencies located within Clackamas County.
Chief Deputy Layng holds DPSST Police certification at the Executive level and is a 2012 graduate of the FBI National Academy. Chief Layng will supervise three divisions of the Sheriff's Office; Jail, Civil and Community Corrections.
Captain Dave O'Shaughnessy
Civil Division
Captain Dave O'Shaughnessy has been with the Sheriff's Office since July 1993. He started in Law Enforcement in the Oregon Air National Guard as an Air Force Law Enforcement Specialist. He also served as a Reserve Officer for North Plains Police Department in 1991 and as a Reserve Deputy at the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office until being hired by Clackamas County in 1993.
In 2000, he was promoted to Sergeant. He was promoted to Lieutenant in 2003 and Captain in 2007. In 2012, he became the Support Services Division Commander.
O'Shaughnessy was named the Oregon State Sheriffs' Association
Civil Manager of the Year in 2005 and OSSA Enforcement Commander of the
Year in 2010. He holds an executive certification from the Oregon
Department of Public Safety Standards and Training, and is a
graduate of the FBI National Academy.

As Captain, he was first assigned to the Support Services Division, switching to the Investigations Division in February 2012.
Capt. Poppen was the Founding Director of the Clackamas County Inter-agency Task Force (CCITF) -- the first coordinated group effort by local and federal law-enforcement officials to solve methamphetamine and other drug problems in Clackamas County.
Mike Alexander
Jail Division
Captain Mike Alexander joined the Sheriff's Office as a Corrections Deputy in February 1992. He was promoted to Corrections Sergeant in November 1998; to Corrections Lieutenant in November 2002; and to Captain in February 2009.

Alexander its Jail Manager of the Year -- recognizing him for achievements that included seeing the Clackamas County Jail through a complex remodel and overseeing the adoption of a new healthcare system for inmates.
Captain Chris Hoy
Community Corrections
Chris Hoy has been with the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office, holding the rank of Captain, since February 2008; he is the Community Corrections Director.

South San Francisco police is warning the public of a telephone scam that an elderly woman fell victim to earlier this month.
The woman received multiple phone calls between April 14 and 17 from a male subject who claimed to be her grandson, police said.
The male told her he was arrested in Mexico and needed thousands of dollars to be released on bail, according to police.
He also swore her to secrecy in order to avoid shame from the rest of the family, police said.
Another male subject called the woman claiming he was from the U.S. Embassy and knew about her grandson's arrest, according to police.
The male then advised her to send the bail money immediately and gave her directions to withdraw money from her bank account and send it through MoneyGram at a pharmacy store, police said.
The woman complied with the orders and completed the transactions, according to police.
She later called her real grandson at his home and learned she was victim of a scam after he told her he had never been in Mexico, police said.
Anyone who receives such a suspicious phone call is advised to call police.

I purchased the case for my Blackberry Storm (Generation 1 case), and was pleased, but it needed improvements. I then inquired about a new case and was shipped a brand new one (Generation 2) FREE of charge. Well this past weekend, I went to Kings Dominion, and proceeded to ride with my phone (stupid, maybe, but I need my Blackberry!). As the ride (the Ricochet) climbed my phone fell, approximately 65 feet from the highest point on the ride, on to solid concrete. A sad day in the world of my Blackberry Storm! This was at 10:30am, and I could not go into the "Lock Out" area until after the ride is shut down, 12 hours later at 10pm. 10pm roles around and I get my phone. I about died when I picked up my phone and it worked fine. 3 days later and its still going fine, no damage to the phone, and minimal damage (a scratch on the plastic hook that the rubber sets on) to the case. Once again, a 65 foot fall onto solid concrete. Survived fully and operational 100 Tell me not to buy that..! |
best protective case for the storm yet. | |
User: brian w, Jul 4, 2009 |
Works great, looks great, and added bulk and rubber exterior make it easier for me to use my storm. I did however have to remove the plastic screen cover the case comes with. Typing was near impossible for me with that thick plastic in the way. Now that its gone my typing is as good as you can get (on a storm anyway). Buy this case if work construction or tend to drop your phone a lot . | |
