It's exciting news — the caller says you've won a new car, a boat, jewelry, a fabulous vacation, or a cash prize. All you need to do is buy some vitamins — for $300 to $500 — to claim it.
But this "promotion" from American Health Associates is really just the latest scheme from a repeat scammer, the FTC says. A scheme that's now been stopped, thanks to the FTC.
People who paid got nothing but vitamins or were sent "prizes" like cheap costume jewelry or lithographs worth a lot less than what they had paid. Continue Reading >

Want To Prevent Cheating? Try Prayer
By Denise Ngo
Researchers at Florida State University recently conducted an experiment to examine the connection between prayer and fidelity. After recruiting participants who were in romantic relationships, and who reported praying at least occasionally, researchers assigned them one of four daily tasks. The tasks were as follows: praying for their partner's well-being, praying freely, reflecting on positive things about their partner, and reflecting on their day. The study is a bit complex, but essentially, the people who were asked to pray for their partners reported the strongest tendencies to resist fantasizing about other people.
The National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia conducted a similar study, and found that couples who read the Bible together at home and who prayed together feel a strong marital bond. Interview subjects described prayer as "the great reconciler," saying that it helps to "pray over every important milestone." Religion, Faith And Spirituality In Relationships
Of course, both studies have their limitations. For instance, authors of the UVA study said that they relied on interviews with one partner rather than both. The lead researcher of the Florida State University study also admitted the possibility that some other factor germane to all couples could have influenced their behavior.
Whatever the case, and regardless of our religious leanings, we can understand what makes prayer an effective bonding activity. When couples pray for each other, and for things they both care about, they are more likely to see their relationship as something sacred and worth protecting. Praying together can also help open up communication between partners. When you sincerely ask someone how you can pray for him, you are asking him to share his problems and how he would like to grow from them. It's a vulnerable activity, it's a little time-consuming, and it takes practice, but apparently, prayer makes you focus so much on loving the other person that it's hard to consider intimacy with anybody else.
Do you and your partner pray? If so, do you do it on your own or together?

Former Tukwila official David Fenton mourned
David Fenton, a former Tukwila city councilman who died in a motorcycle accident in Seattle on Sunday, will be remembered for his service to the city, his sense of humor and his patronage of local restaurants, said friends and relatives.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Editor's note:
Commenting has been disabled because of the sensitive nature of this story.
David Fenton, a former Tukwila city councilman, will be remembered for his service to the city, his sense of humor and his patronage of local restaurants, said friends and relatives.
"He was a very funny guy, an awesome storyteller and an unbelievably giving man," his daughter, Monica Fenton Manthey, said on Tuesday. "But he was not a cook — there's going to be a lot of restaurants that miss him. He had his own special chair in some of them."
Mr. Fenton, 67, died when his motorcycle struck a light pole Sunday afternoon on West Marginal Way Southwest, police said.
According to Seattle police, some witnesses reported that Mr. Fenton, who was on a Harley-Davidson, had been racing with a black SUV just before the 2 p.m. crash. Police said Mr. Fenton either failed to negotiate a curve or was forced off the road by the larger vehicle.
The SUV left the scene, according to police.
Detectives are seeking information from people who may have witnessed the incident or who have information on the SUV.
Manthey, 42, of Renton, said the Harley her father was riding was his fourth or fifth motorcycle. It was "souped up to the nines," she said, but there was "no way" he was racing.
He had been riding for years and was a fierce advocate of rider safety, she said.
"He was a concerned citizen and a huge advocate of getting people through the [motorcycle] safety class," she said.
Mr. Fenton was born in Glens Falls, N.Y., .on Sept. 26, 1944. He moved to Washington when he was in the Air Force and was stationed at Fairchild Air Force Base outside of Spokane, his daughter said. When he left the military he remained on the West Coast, working as a manager for an upscale department store and the Nabisco plant in Spokane.
"He would bring home these bumped-up boxes of crackers and we would be like 'Not another Triscuit!' " Manthey said.
Mr. Fenton served on the Tukwila City Council for eight years, through 2005. His mission, he said during his campaign, was to bring more business to Tukwila, lower crime and to be a voice for apartment dwellers and owners.
Records show he was the manager of the Samara Apartments, which are across the street from Foster High School, and are advertised as a guaranteed "crime-free," family friendly complex.
Current City Councilman Joe Duffie, who served alongside Fenton, said his colleague ran the best-kept apartments in the city.
"He was a great guy, a great manager and a great service to this city," said Duffie. "If you want to see apartments that are well cared for and well run, you would look at his. Those are apartments you would want in your neighborhood."
Council President Verna Seal agreed that Mr. Fenton ran "a tight ship."
He set strict rules and expected his residents to behave themselves, his daughter said. In many cases he became their friends as well.
Mr. Fenton was among a group of regulars who had breakfast nearly every morning together at the Pancake Chef in SeaTac, his daughter said.
There, and at the many other restaurants he frequented, he made friends with people from all walks of life, his daughter said.
"The waitresses would fight over who was going to take care of him," Manthey said.
In addition to his daughter and her husband, Steve Manthey, Mr. Fenton is survived by his son, Mark Fenton, of Canton, Ohio; his granddaughter, Kimberly Fenton; his brother Paul Fenton of Glens Falls; and his dog Abby.
A memorial service will be held from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday at the Foster Golf Links, 13500 Interurban Ave. S., in Tukwila.
The service will include a slideshow and an open podium for sharing stories and memories about Mr. Fenton from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.

A Triple-A affiliate of the Houston Astros, the Round Rock Express's players bat, slide, steal, and knock spherical things out of Dell Diamond. Managed by former pitcher and major league first base coach Marc Bombard, the team receives its silent hand signals and coaching from former major league pitcher Burt Hooton, minor league veteran Keith Bodie, and star of Major League: Back to the Minors Scott Bakula. The Pacific Coast League power beat the Nashville Sounds to clinch the American Conference finals in 2006. Win or lose, the fun of just watching the game will be celebrated with a round of fireworks.
Organized by the Austin Sports and Social Club, the community-oriented Downtown Dash TX unleashes teams on a race across the city rife with physical challenges, social interactions, and mental puzzles. The undefined course lets participants choose their own route, but with a catch: travel must be completed on foot or by public transportation, not on bicycles, rollerblades, or stolen emus. While following a clue sheet, teams attempt to topple up to a dozen challenges all while encountering some of Austin's most historic and renowned sites. Upon crossing the finish line, the top three teams receive a special prize, but everyone wins during a postrace party that stretches the day's festivities into the evening. There will also be random drawings in which every team has a chance to win. The race benefits the Austin Sunshine Camps.
Beyond the race, Austin Sports and Social Club offers a range of coed team sports leagues, including soccer, softball, dodgeball, bowling, and sand volleyball. Participants are able to socialize on the court and at team happy hours following games.
Since 2004, Todd Gibbs has grown his team of enthusiastic instructors from one to seven, and collectively they take a fun approach to fitness.

Todd's classes in Pilates are designed to tone the entire body, placing emphasis on conditioning the core to help people protect their fragile chandelier centers.
NFL players, arena-football stars, and elite college athletes are just a few of the many pupils who have turned to Nate Turner of Sport Speed Austin to hone their speed, agility, and performance on the field.

2002 Lexus RX300 Problems
The Check Engine Light may come on because a component of the oxygen sensor stops working. Replacement of the failed sensor should correct this concern.
Debris can get into the idle air control valve. This will restrict the air flow into the engine, causing idle speed and/or stalling when cold. The valve can be cleaned or replaced to correct this concern.
The Check Engine Light may illuminate because the mass air flow sensor sends incorrect information to the engine control computer. This can cause a loss of power on acceleration. A failed mass air flow sensor will require replacement.

LA Fitness gym and health club and a larger separate multi-level parking garage are planned for the site of the Westbury Centerette, a vacant early-sixties shopping center on West Bellfort St. just east of Chimney Rock. The development would take up the entire block surrounded by West Bellfort, Chimney Rock, Cedarhurst Dr., and Moonlight Dr. — except for the AutoZone and WingStreet at the southwest corner. Plans submitted to the city show the LA Fitness backing up to Moonlight Dr. and facing a row of parking accessed from West Bellfort; the 263-space garage would sit at the corner of Chimney Rock and Cedarhurst:

Republicans: Less Like The Joker, More Like Henchmen
5:42 am in Uncategorized by Bill Egnor
Sometimes it is easy to see the Republicans as bunch of super-villains, diabolically plotting every twist and turn to thwart the will of the American people with economic policy that only comforts the comfortable and afflicts the afflicted. After all they backed down the President and the Democratically controlled Senate and got most of what they wanted, even given that they upped the ransom demands in the middle of negotiations.
Then they go and do something like what Majority Leader Eric Cantor did yesterday. After managing to force a deficit reduction plan that will force some cuts in Medicare and will put Social Security and Medicaid in the sights of the Super Congress, they had pretty much rehabilitated their massive political malpractice of forcing a vote for the Ryan Budget.
Remember the Ryan Budget? You know, the one that wants to end Medicare as we know is and replace the program with as system of vouchers (but leave the name the same so they can claim they are not ending the program). Well, the oft confused Majority Leader does and he is still pushing the idea.
He sat down with the Wall Street Journal editorial board yesterday and said the following:
"What we have to be I think focused on is truth in budgeting here," Mr. Cantor (R., Va.) told The Wall Street Journal's Opinion Journal. He said "the better way" for Americans is to "get the fiscal house in order" and "come to grips with the fact that promises have been made that frankly are not going to be kept for many."
There is it, the fact of the matter in one sentence. For all the talk of "preserving the programs" the reality is that the number two ranking Republican in the House is saying that they are going to break the promises that had been made.

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Movie
The Next Big Trend in Adaptations: Movies About Public Events
Movie News By Nathan Adams on March 10, 2011 | Comments (2)IAM Entertainment has reportedly signed a deal for the rights to make a movie based on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Now, don't misunderstand what I'm saying. They haven't purchased a script that happens to be set at the parade. They aren't making a documentary about the history of the parade. They've just got the rights to the parade; and now comes to busy work of finding a story to shoe-horn into it and a director to put it all together. As IAM Entertainment producer Scott Glassgold says, "We're aiming to make a four-quadrant, family-friendly film somewhere in that Night at the Museum, Elf sweet spot." Sounds like this Glassgold is a real artistic type. I can see why he would have wanted to get into movie making.

DANA POINT, Calif -- Miles Austin? Really? Miles Austin?
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said here Tuesday that one of the big reasons he released Terrell Owens was Miles Austin. Jones said Austin could do some of the things Owens can do.
Jones hyped of Ausstin in a short meet-and-greet with reporters. Somebody asked if he thought Austin could be in the same class as Owens.
"I think he has a chance to be," Jones said.
Yeah, and I have a chance to succeed President Obama.
Austin has 18 catches in three seasons. Unless he takea a page out of the Jimmy Smith career manuel and gets going in a big way after a slow start, Jones is fooling himself.
The other issues is that Jones is convinced Roy Williams can be the go-to receiver. He said that's another big reason he made the move to let Owens go. Did Williams show that at all last season?
Williams and Austin. Jones really is a dreamer.

I don't know what kind of shell this is but it was cheap, I think I paid fifty cents for it at a yard sale. I thought it would make a nice soap dish. And, as you know, I have pink paint on my palette so I had to paint a rose. I never get tired of painting roses but I bet everyone else is. This is such a pretty surface to paint on, I just wanted to share it with yall.
Follow-Up Postings:
Beautiful! I think your large rose is the best one you've painted. So many great details on it. Great buy on your shell and I'm so glad you shared this with us. I'll never tire of seeing your rose paintings. Thanks again. Punk |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Tue, Jun 8, 10 at 11:20
You know I always love roses and you paint them so pretty. Will you just use the regular spray on sealer on this shell? That's a neat idea to use it for a soap dish too. Glad you are getting in some painting time. Keep on painting those roses--I want to see them all! ;o) Luvs |
Beautiful Roses!!! I'm drooling again! But I sure wouldn't put anything in this dish that would cover the beauty of nature and your artistry. Belle |

NAIAS 2007: Ryuga Gives New Meaning to Zoom-Zoom
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Science, Transportation
Before we leave the NAIAS, we have to show you the answer to your futuristic automotive prayers. This is the Ryuga (Japanese for "gracious flow",) a concept car created by Mazda. Destined to come out around the year 2020, it will probably run on hydrogen fuel. Note that there are no door handles (we suspect it opens with an electronic touch keypad) and it looks like you have to slink into it. Of course, you're not allowed to sit in, touch, or even breathe too closely to the concept cars, but we can't help but remember when we saw something like this 20 years ago in Sci-fi movies. As we recall, it was also airborne.

NAIAS 2007: The Need For Speed
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Misc. Tech, Toys, Transportation, Video Games
Not only were the MINI Coopers fun to sit in, we found about 6 more excuses to stick around that area. This remote car racing game was consistently full of business men in CIA-looking suits.
Another tabletop game was more fun to crash and burn than to stay on the road. Finally, Mike had some difficulty finding which way to go in Volkswagen's "Need For Speed."
The point here is that if you get a chance to visit the NAIAS, head for the BMW/MINI Cooper/Volkswagen corner.

NAIAS 2007: MINI Cooper Sidewalk is Personal Pick
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Transportation
One of our favorite places to be at the NAIAS was behind the wheel of the MINI Cooper Sidewalk Convertible. Making its debut here, it comes with stylish paintwork, light-alloy wheels, and exclusive leather upholstery. It features a 1.6 litre four-cylinder turbo-charged 128kW/175 hp engine and your choice of 5 (standard) or 6-speed or automatic transmission. It reaches 100km/h in 7.4 seconds and a top speed of 133 mph.
The soft top opens automatically in 15 seconds and its windscreen takes over. The convertible also features a pump-up seat for us shorter folk, PDC (Park Distance Control), a Tire Defect indicator that warns you if your pressure is too low, surround sound even in the doors, and a dashboard with AM/FM mini boost radio, SAT, CD, and MEDIA buttons, indicative of many of the new higher end cars being shown. We don't care if the Sidewalk's base price is $21,850. We still want one.

NAIAS 2007: BMW Motorcycle Xchallenge - Slick and Pricey
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Transportation
Mike was ready to roll on this BMW G650 Xchallenge. The bike features a single-cylinder powerplant which they claim is 4.5 lbs. lighter than its earlier 650 engine. It puts out 53 horsepower at 7,000 rpm with a torque performance of 44 pound per foot at 5,250 rpm. It sports a bridge frame of tubular steel with aluminum handlebar, side sections, rear frame, and swingarm, and a stainless steel tailpipe. With a closed loop 3-way catalytic converter, a fuel tank under its seat, spoke wheels, and a MSRP of $8,925.00, no matter how much we want one, we'll just hang on to the photo.

NAIAS 2007: Sync Goes Silent
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Cell Phones, Corporate News, Internet, Misc. Tech, Music, Portable Audio / Video, Transportation
The Ford Focus will be one of the cars being issued this fall that will feature Sync, and they are keeping it on the downlow. We couldn't get a price, ("It will blow away the competition,") any pictures of it in a vehicle, or even mention the name of the dude who was telling us what we weren't supposed to know. Maybe Microsoft is saving the info for the CES. All we were told/shown was that Ford has the exclusive rights until 2008, that it will play and/or recharge your iPod via USB, interrupt your tunes if you have an incoming call, and has text message/voice recognition capability.

Andru, Sparky, Nate, Jesse, and Chris get to hang at the CES this week, and since some of us had to keep the domestic front safe, Photographer/Artist Mike Wrathell and I decided to get on the action at this year's NAIAS (North American International Auto Show), even if North American International is a contradiction in terms. Entering the Cobo Center we found Sirius and XMR on each side of the main doorway, and all we got was this lousy key chain. That product placement was rather clever of them, considering most of the cars we saw either already have or will soon be offering optional satellite capability.

PCGamerBike Mini Turns Exercise Into a Game
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, CES, CES 2007, Home Entertainment, Transportation, Video Games
Looking for a way to lose a few of those holiday pounds? We tried one of these bikes years ago when they were still new and gawky. The 3D Innovations PCGamerBike Mini looks barely large enough to hold an adult, but there must have been much improvement since it has won a CES 2007 Innovations D & E Award.
Plug it into a USB port on your game system or PC and utilize the pedals to move forward or backwards while you become a car, bike, boat, or anything else that moves. The bike can be configured to any button on its optional keyboard or 3 primary mouse buttons on its controller, and can be customized to your atheletic ability. It comes with $94 worth of free Island Worlds software to play with and you can download more subscription games, such as World of Warcraft. You can even create your own program.
Once you tire of the fun and games, you can also make use of the bike as an exercycle. It keeps track of calories burned, distance, speed, and will keep a daily graph. The mini-bike is available now at 3d Innovations for $179.99.

Visteon Plugs In Its Wireless Charger
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Cameras, Cell Phones, CES, CES 2007, Misc. Tech, Portable Audio / Video, Transportation
Primarily known for providing various products to car manufacturers, Visteon has now ventured into the realm of car accessories. The in-vehicle wireless gadget sits in your cupholder, plugs into your car lighter socket, and can charge MP3 players, PDAs, cell phones, and digital cameras. It also contains an AI that can determine if the object to be charged is in close proximity and if it can be charged.
The device will be officially featured at next week's CES 2007 where it has already received Design and Engineering honors. With the recent glut of cupholder products, we may get a bigger car just for all the new accessories.

GPS takes a new turn with these shoes invented by Sayo Isaac Daniel. Referred to as Quantum Satellite Technology, Daniel explains that you can forget your watch or cell phone, but not your shoes. He first got involved with the idea when his own 8 year-old son was missing from school. Fortunately, his son was found and so was a new idea from an entrepreneurial father who was already involved in footwear.
The technology consists of a 2 x 3-inch computer inserted in the shoe which is weather-proof, shock-proof, and can survive up to 300 lbs. of human. It even has a panic button in case of an emergency. The shoes will be available next month in a limited quantity online for $325-$350 and accessible to the general public by March.

The RICS London Awards ceremony was held in St Paul's Cathedral this week, and saw architecture firm Shepheard Epstein Hunter crowned overall winner for their 'Stonebridge Estate Regeneration' project. The 26 hectare site now provides 1210 housing units for public ownership, with a further 723 being developed privately. It also now boasts an extensive new community, social support and education facilities. There are, in total, more dwellings on the new estate than there were in its high rise predecessor and more open green spaces have been created for residents. It is hoped that the area's previous social problems will be significantly reduced due to the new development, with a new feeling of community and local pride.
The hotly contested RICS 2010 Award for Sustainability was presented to David Morley Architects, for their design for the 'Lee Valley Athletics Centre'. The Centre has achieved an A rated DEC certificate through the integrated design approach, placing it in the top 1% of public buildings in terms of energy efficiency. The RICS noted that the David Morley design team displayed evidence of forward planning and site monitoring, energy efficient construction procedures and 'green' measures to solve waste and transport needs.

Illinois Fighting Illini (17-11)
@24 Ohio St. Buckeyes (26-2)
Tuesday, February 22
Value City Arena
Attendance: 18,085
24 Ohio St.
Columbus, OH (Sports Network) - David Lighty had 21 points and six steals to help No. 2 Ohio State to an 89-70 thrashing of Illinois.
William Buford had 17 points and five rebounds and Jon Diebler added 13 points for the Buckeyes (26-2, 13-2 Big Ten), who bounced back from Sunday's loss at Purdue. Jared Sullinger donated 12 points and 11 boards in the win.
"We talked about getting the quick turnaround," said Ohio State head coach Thad Matta. "I said we couldn't be tired because we had a great challenge tonight. We knew Illinois was going to come in and give us a good game. During timeouts I emphasized keeping the intensity up."
Mike Davis had 18 points and seven rebounds for the Illini (17-11, 7-8), who have dropped their past two. Mike Tisdale had 14 points and five boards and Jereme Richmond added 11 points, nine rebounds and five assists.
"We wanted to catch them off guard but they played at a very high level," said Illinois head coach Bruce Webber. "Their perimeter guys play a lot better at home."
Illinois scored the first two points of the game, but that would be the only lead the school had as the Buckeyes got the next eight to take the lead for good.
The Illini kept it close and a layup from Brandon Paul got the team to within one, 19-18, near the midway mark of the first half, but Ohio State got the next eight points.
Sullinger's dunk and a three-pointer from Diebler with just seconds left on the clock helped Ohio State take a 47-32 lead into the locker room.
Illinois got the first seven points of the second half to get its deficit back to single digits, but Ohio State responded a bit later with a 13-2 run as Lighty capped the burst on a three-ball with under 12 minutes to play for a 62-45 lead.
The Illini answered with the next eight points to get back within nine, but Deshaun Thomas hit a three-pointer then recorded a three-point play to make it a 15-point contest.
That proved to be the back-breaker as Illinois was unable to get its deficit back to single digits the rest of the way.

(Updates with comment from FMS spokesman in third paragraph.)
Oct. 31 (Bloomberg) -- The German Finance Ministry said it will hold talks on Nov. 2 to investigate a 55.5 billion-euro ($77.7 billion) accounting error at FMS Wertmanagement, the so- called bad bank for Hypo Real Estate Holding AG.
Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the FMSA financial-market stabilization agency, Hypo Real Estate and FMS Wertmanagement will take part in the meeting, the ministry said today in an e-mailed statement. Depending on the outcome of the talks, "consequences" may be drawn, it said. A telephone conference on the matter will be held this afternoon, the statement said.
FMS has corrected its balance sheet for 2010 to lower debt by 24.5 billion euros and will reduce the borrowing figure for 2011 by 31 billion euros to 161 billion euros, Germany's Stern magazine reported on Oct. 28, citing unidentified people in the finance industry. Andreas Henry, a spokesman for FMS, said the bank has no comment to make before the meeting in Berlin.
Now is "the wrong time to say where and when the mistakes were made, rather we have to look at what happened in detail," Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble's spokesman Martin Kotthaus said today at a regular press briefing in Berlin. Corrections of this size are "to put it diplomatically -- annoying," he said.
"We haven't become richer by 24.5 billion euros or 55.5 billion euros," even as the accounting error reduces Germany's public debt, the ministry said. "It would be wrong to assert that money has been overlooked or found."
PricewaterhouseCoopers said it had "no indication" of any mistakes in the FMS 2010 financial statement, based on its examinations and the documents it received. "Significant" parts of FMS' accounting have been outsourced, PWC noted in a statement on its website.
Hypo Real Estate spokesman Oliver Gruss declined to comment.

Re: A Nutty Alternative to SawStop Technology
I have been working with Tagua nuts for over 20 years. I was taught to soak the nuts in water before you work with them. Depending on the size of the nut, you may have to soak it for up to 2 weeks. This makes the nut soft enough to easily cut with a knife, carving chisel or even a coping saw. There was not any need for a tablesaw. After you are done carving them, let them dry. They will get as hard as they were and there has never been any cracking. That being said, they probably do not have the time to let them soak first.
Re: UPDATE: Fine Woodworking Best Workbenches from the editors of Fine Woodworking and a special magazine issue, Workbenches.
I have been planning/dreaming of my ultimate workbench for 25+ years, waiting until I have a shop that is worthy of such a bench. I am just finishing setting up my new workshop, it is 2,000 sq. ft. on the first floor and this bench would look great center stage. I am looking for a book that will allow me to combine features from multiple workbench designs to make a workbench that will fit all of my needs and be deserving of my new shop. I think that these books are it.
Thank you for all of the wonderful materials over the decades.
Re: Router Injury Sparks Reflection on Safety
I havre had two accidents involving a router. The first was in 1995. I was routing the edge of a countertop. The router encountered a bad piece of grain and the router jumped cutting into my ring finger on my right hand. I remember at the time trying to protect the hand as much as possible that I yank it out of the way. The bit did not cut my finger too badly, but in yanking my hand out of the way, I yanked so hard that I tore ligaments and damaged nerves from my hand all the way up to my neck. 3 years of surgeries and therapy later, I lost 70% use of my right arm. All that it took was a split second.
The second accident happened last year. Again, a split second of lost concentration. This time it was my middle finger on my left hand. The bit did not cut the finger as much as it smashed the finger. The end of the finger was smashed open to the first knuckle. If not for the amazing surgeon, the finger would have been amputated. The surgeon took his time and put in the effort to rebuild my finger. You have to look closely to see any damage. This is the same surgeon that work on my right hand.
I am glad that you are doing well. It is very important that we always pay full attention to what is going on around us. As said before, woodworking is inherently dangerous. We need to treat it as such and be careful.
Re: Weird Woodworking Tools
You can get hypodermic needles and syringes from a farm supply store. They can be disposable or reusable syringes.
Re: Weird Woodworking Tools
I'm not sure what part of the country you are located in, but you should try a farm supply store for your hyperdermic needle needs. We have a number of chains in our area where you can purchase either disposable or reusable syringes and needles. We use them for treating our livestock and pets. I also use them for injecting glues under veneers or into cracks frequently. There is a vast assortment of sizes available. They are inexpensive also, usually less than $1.00 for the disposabble type.

Kittencalskitchen's Note:
I developed this dressing years ago, and I can honestly say that you won't be able to keep your spoon out of the fridge for a taste, it is *that* good! --- although I do think the dressing is better with the anchovy it can certainly be made without them. In a pinch I have even substituted buttermilk for the half and half cream, just use about the same amount --- this dressing gets stronger with refrigeration time so a small amount of fresh garlic goes a long way! ---- usually one recipe without doubling is perfect for one large romaine lettuce, if you are serving a large crowd of people you might want to double -- salad dressing will not work for this use *only* mayonnaise, I find Hellman's brand mayonnaise works the best and for the perfect companion to this salad see my Kittencal's Garlic Croutons-------------LOWER-FAT OPTION use reduced fat mayonnaise and fat-free half and half or low-fat milk --- also see my Kittencal's Famous Greek Salad
My Private Note
Units: US | Metric
- 1 large head romaine lettuce (washed over and thoroughly dried)
- 1 1/2 cups garlic-flavored croutons (or to taste, see Kittencal's Garlic Croutons)
- parmesan cheese
- freshly grated black pepper (to taste)
- 2 anchovy fillets (or to taste)
- 2 fresh garlic cloves (or to taste)
- 1 cup mayonnaise (not salad dressing Hellman's is best)
- 1/4 cup half-and-half cream or 1/4 cup milk
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (Hellman's Dijonnaise is best!)
- salt and pepper
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (or to taste) (optional)
- buttermilk or half-and-half, for thinning
- 1In a small 2-cup mini food processor, process/mince the anchovy fillets and garlic together until finely minced (do this together and firstly, otherwise it will not get minced properly with the other ingredients).
- 2Add in the remaining ingredients, and process for 30 seconds, or more until well mixed.
- 3Adjust seasonings to taste.
- 4Thin with buttermilk (or milk) for a thinner consistency if desired.
- 5Store in fridge, covered in a glass container for 3 or more hours before using (the flavors become stronger when left in the fridge for a longer time).
- 6Toss desired amount of dressing with Romaine lettuce and croutons.
- 7Sprinkle with more grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

OLYMPIA — Washington Gov. Jay Inslee may continue allowing the nation's spy agency to get fake ID cards from the state.
A bill the Legislature passed Friday limits the distribution of bogus driver's licenses to officers engaged in "law enforcement activities." While the CIA is not a law enforcement agency, Inslee spokeswoman Jaime Smith says the governor broadly interprets the meaning of "law enforcement activities" to include the CIA.
"In terms of the overall bill and policy, the governor has mostly been agnostic," Smith said. She said Inslee planned to sign the bill into law.
The governor's stance runs counter to the interpretation of lawmakers. Rep. Judy Clibborn, D-Mercer Island, had said the measure would not allow the CIA to get the ID cards and that the bill was written because of concerns about why the CIA was using the licenses.
Clibborn said Friday that she understands how the governor is interpreting the language, and said she will continue working on the issue. She wants to work with the Department of Licensing more on the policy, wants to see how other states handle it, and wants to make sure that the licenses are being used only for law enforcement activity.
"What you don't want to be is just unregulated," Clibborn said.
The fake ID program has been operating without legislative approval — and in relative secrecy — for years. The Kitsap Sun recently reported that the CIA has used the program more than any other federal, state or local agency.
Some Republicans in the state House have expressed concern that the licenses will be provided without sufficient oversight. However, the measure passed the state Senate unanimously Friday.
Sen. Tracey Eide, D-Federal Way, who sponsored the legislation, said the law strengthens the state's control over the licenses. On the issue of whether the CIA would qualify, Eide said that decision would be up to Inslee and the state's attorney general.
A spokeswoman for Attorney General Bob Ferguson said it was premature to comment on the legal interpretation of a bill that is not yet law.

Girl Scouts Distribute Planned Parenthood Sex Guide at UN Meeting Comments

The people at the top who are organizing small focus "group think" with the girls are "leading"/""fooling" the girls with ill advice with their hidden agendas only to claim that the girls developed or designed these ideas of their world.
Locally, Girl Scout troops are focused on serving their community, finding ways to make the world a better place, locally and globally. We learn and grow spiritually and have a lot of fun.
These bad seeds at the top of the organization, most of us, had no idea about this.
Those young girls at the UN meeting should never have been left alone, secluded into an exclusive audience for their sick political agenda. That is brainwashing and they have made sure that no responsible adults that do no support them could get in. Those bad seeds at the top are obviously up to no good. They just got caught... with their support of that brochure! And do not kid yourself... cash may not be given to support another organization like PP, but paying for their brochure is "indirectly" giving them money and support.
Yes, that cookie money does trickle up. Your annual $12 membership goes to GSUSA and all the materials bought at the shop, such as our books and patches and pins.. those profits go up. I'm sure there is money collected at council that has to be paid to the piper.
I would not condemn your local troops raising good girls. That is ignorant!
Local girl scout leaders are not poisoning ours and your daughters with this material.
Consider informing the leaders of this information instead and ask them to only sell homemade goods and services to raise funds for their activities, whether it be a camping trip or a community service endeavor. Your donations to a troop are not going to sex ed.
I am not saying I am going to stay with the Girl Scouts, however, I will be bringing this to the attention of all my families I serve as a leader and may suggest just being our own group.
I wish to see more current comments.

False statements
I have been a part of girlsscouts of 8 years. I have never seen anything given to my girls. My daughter is a Cadette now. I don't believe it at all!! -

Yes, there is an alternative, it's American Heritage Girls. The Boy Scouts signed a memorandum of support with AHG, July 2009. BSA has never done that for the GS or any other all girl group.
Regardless of the validity of this story, as Catholics, we need to remember that GS holds a diversity stance which includes gays as leaders. And in 1993, the GS allows each girl the decision of saying "God" in their oath.
AHG and BSA do not allow gays as leaders. The BSA is always being taken to the courts by the ACLU. But the BSA believes in being "morally straight". In BSA a scout is also "reverent".
And in AHG's creed the girl promises, among 8 other things, to be "pure" and "reverent".
AHG's creed is "Building women of integrity through service to God, family, community and country."
AHG is in 38 states and 2 countries and they started just 15 years ago.

The woman who "supposedly" found the brochure after "hanging around outside" until the meeting was over is Sharon Slater - an activist who makes her living speaking for "pro-family" issues around the world. There is ZERO evidence or testimony from the people and girls present that this EVER happened! Sharon Slater claims to have found the brochures - that's it. This smells fishy. I doubt there is any truth to it. Wake up and stop believing everything you read folks!

PEOPLE, GET YOUR FACTS FROM THE SOURCE. GS hand out a PP brochure? Then it goes on to read PP handed out the brochure: which was it? Oh, you weren't there, so you wouldn't even know. This misleading article title even contradicts the "so called" facts within. Terrance McKeegan, shame on you for slandering an age old institution who still allows young women pray at meetings and encourages serving (their own) God as a part of the GS Law.
If any inappropriate materials were distributed, the GSUSA did not endorse it. Please read the response I received via email inquiry from GSUSA:
GSUSA does not provide any financial support to Planned Parenthood, nor do we have any national collaboration or relationship with that organization. We believe issues related to health and sexuality are private matters for girls and their families.
The Girl Scout organization, including local Councils, does not take a position on abortion or birth control, nor do we endorse or provide funding to organizations such that advocate on these issues.
Girl Scouts of the USA did attend and participate in the 54th Commission on the Status of Women at the United Nations where girls were encouraged to take action on global issues concerning women and girls.
Our participation in the conference was recently subjected of numerous internet stories and blogs that are factually in accurate and troubling. The Girl Scout organization does not take a position on family planning. Here are the facts of that meeting:
* The Girls Only Workshop was jointly hosted by Girl Scouts of the USA, UNICEF's Working Group on Girls, Girls Learn International and The Grail. This meeting was only open to girls and the participating sponsors.
* Only seven adults were in the room at the time of the meeting, each representing one of the sponsors of the event. No one from Catholic Family & Human Rights Institute was in the room to report on the event.
* 30 to 35 girls from across the world participated in this event. All teenagers.
* The only document the girls were given was the document they were working on titled ("The Girls' Statement") No other documents were given to the girls as part of this event.
Our Mission in Girl Scouting is to build girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place. We continue to be proud of our girls and look forward to showing the world what girls can do.

If this is true, it is an anomaly. If a poll were givien, I am curious, which do you think would win, entrusting your daughter with a girl scout troop or a Catholic Priest? The Girls Scouts are a wholesome entity providing outstanding leadership and fellowship opportunities for young girls. Julliette Gordon Low would be rolling in her grave if she read this article. Her family members were outstanding pioneers of our Country. There is a well-deserved pride with being a Girls Scout. Anyone trying to taint the Girl Scout reputation should be ashamed of themselves. Girls need wholesome outlets in this day and age and Girl Scouts provides such an enviornment for girls from all different backgrounds around the world. I am proud to have my daughter participate in the Girl Scouts of America!

I am so sorry to say that I knew where this was going several years ago, when my now 22 yr. old daughter was a Girl Scout. Thankfully, when we started homeschooling 3 of our children, one of the Mothers was a Girl Scout leader and with all of us being like-minded, we knew what we wanted for our daughters and there was no deviation into immoral or illicit behavior being taught. I had checked into books that Girl Scouts use and one of them, though I do not remember the title of the book was akin to the nature of this here topic. When our oldest daughter was in junior high, an alert leader (again one of the Mothers from school, then) told us that at the leader's mtg. she had recently attended, then, they were told to make plans to take the girls to Planned Parenthood and to bring a sack lunch along. It was revealed by our leader then, that parents were not to be completely informed about the plans for this "outing." I was deeply appreciative to have a Girl Scout leader such as this lady to be upfront with us!

This sickening stuff is expected from Planned Parenthood and the UN. Both are amoral as it gets. I would caustion folks to examine this further before making a judgement against the Girl Scouts of America. Perverts for decades have been trying their best to undermine and subvert the Boys Scouts and Girl Scouts of America. Remember the flack the Boy Scouts took for not allowing homosexuals in their organization? I hope the top office of the Girl Scouts (If there is one) would clear this up. No one yet has interviewed these Girl Scouts at the UN. Were these Planned Parenthood fakes? I hope this is cleared up.

My daughter's been in Girl Scouts for five years, and her troop, and I would dare to say the entire service unit, comprised of about a third of the counties in Texas, have never had an event of this nature, and troops are focused on serving God and community. I wish I knew where these scouts were based. Please don't make judgments about all Girl Scouts based on this small segment of the Girl Scout population. I can assure you this is not typical of the organization, at least here in the U.S.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Subject: question: the role of organised crime in maintaining illegitimate
Question for Stratfor:
"The comingling of organised crime and politicians is as ancient as
either. Traditionally we think of organised crime being permitted to
function at the tolerance of corrupt officials. However, during the era of
the War on Drugs organised crime appears to be the more dominant partner
in places like Burma, and Colombia; and an equal partner in regions like
Russia and the horn of Africa. In other places, such as Mexico, the
situation is shifting even as this is written. Is this analysis correct
and what are the geopolitical implications?"
