Nike Men's Air Diamond Wide Baseball Trainer
Be careful what & how you order
On Line purchase was easy & order was delivered in a timely manner. Very pleased. Ordering anything else such as "Spirit Packs" ... TERRIBLE @ best. Dick's will be the last outlet I will use.

Great turf shoes
My son uses these for indoor baseball practice, they have been great. I ordered wide, and they were a perfect fit!
January 7, 2015
shoe was to narrow for my foot and I ordered a wide size, always have had problems with Nike shoes seem to run to narrow. Really liked the look and style of the shoe just to narrow. Still looking for a shoe in this style thanks for all your help.

Nike Wide Turf Shoes
Nice Turf shoe, which as a baseball coach I prefer over cleats. However, not really that wide if have true wide foot. I even ordered 1/2 size up, but I could not wear and returned. Easton regular width turf shoe was much wider and fit well, much better than the Nike Wide. UnderArmour Wide was even more narrow.

Great Features
I'm very happy with this product. Very comfortable shoe.

great shoe...but...
great shoe for the money, but not wide enough. bought this shoe because nike tends to run narrow, but the wide was no better. ended up getting a half size up in regular width and they are great.

Not a WIDE shoe
good looking shoe- but I have a 2E wide foot, and when I ordered this shoe on line, figured it would fit well. Nike does run about 1/2 size smaller, so order up 1/2 size- hopefully after wearing it for awhile, it will stretch out a bit-

not true to sizing
since i need a 9.5 wide i ordered on line only to find that this shoe is about a full size off . i would have tried a 10 or 10.5 but it was not offered.The advantage of ordering on line is because of the retailers ability to offer more sizes than in store . i went to the local sporting goods shop to order as there was not a good alternative offered by store associates
February 9, 2012

Williams' family wants to let his spirit to rest
The weeks of media coverage and intense scrutiny of John T. Williams' killing have continually disturbed his spirit, his mother says. As long as his name is spoken, his spirit can't rest.
Seattle Times staff reporter
As jurors weigh testimony about the shooting of her son, Ida Edward knows this: She just wants it to be over.
"I want him to be left alone now," Edward, 75, said of John T. Williams.
For Williams' mother, the weeks of media coverage and seven days of intense scrutiny of the shooting have continually disturbed the spirit of her son, a member of the Ditidaht Tribe, part of the Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations. In their culture, the name of the deceased is not to be spoken for at least one year — in some families and tribes it is as long as five — until a traditional memorial is held. To use the name before then is to disturb those who have gone to the other side.
"He has passed on, and his name is still up here, and he is trying to find somebody that will speak up for him, and say his name doesn't want to be mentioned any more," Edward said, speaking by phone from Vancouver, B.C.
She said her own feelings today about the killing are mixed: She wants to forgive, but she also wants to see punishment for Seattle police Officer Ian Birk, the man she believes unjustifiably killed her son. "I don't want to be higher than the Lord, if the Lord can forgive him, I should forgive him too," Edward said.
"But I don't want any more innocent people shot."
John Williams' oldest brother, Harvey, said he has worked hard to overcome his anger, since returning home to Vancouver after burying his brother last September in Seattle. "Please let Officer Birk know I forgive him," Harvey Williams said by phone about the police officer who shot his brother. "If I kept on the way I was feeling, it would not be long before I go back to drinking and being angry again, and I want to be happy.
"I have been sober for 19 years, and I won't give that up for anyone or anything. So I have made my decision."
Sister Nancy Williams left the inquest a day before it ended, returning to Vancouver because she couldn't stand the tension any more. Like John Williams, all his surviving siblings carve — four sisters, and three brothers, including two in Seattle. John Williams is believed to have had a son, but so far he has not been located.
Nancy Williams said she carved in her hotel room every night after the inquest — and fiercely wished she could carve in the courtroom, to keep her hands busy.
For her, the most difficult part of the proceedings was listening to the testimony of the medical examiner. "It was 'Mr. Williams' and suddenly it was 'the body,' " Nancy Williams said.
"I started crying five minutes later. I walked out; I couldn't stand listening to him explaining the shots and the wounds. And then they put his heart up on the screen, and it was just too much, I felt like I was being crushed.
"Hearing the video tapes over and over again, hearing how my brother got shot down, it hurt majorly."
She said she wasn't surprised by Harvey's decision. But it is too soon for her.
Rita Williams, John's sister in Duncan, B.C., says she has watched over and over the videotape of her brother taken from Birk's squad car camera — just so she can see her brother again. She feels no urge to forgive.
"I don't think I could ever forgive him," she said.

One of my favorite shampoos. It leaves my hair soft and clean after using. Really helps with my dry blonde hair a lot, especially when used with the conditioner. Helps keep my hair shiny and smooth.

Awful product on my hair. It feels itchy and greasy, i think i must have reacted to something in it. My hair is normal to dry, curly and i thought this product would be perfect. But it feels like its loaded with chemicals. Complete waste of £££ :(

I brought this based on the reviews here and it was such a huge disappointment. I used the shampoo and conditioner. I found them to be way too heavy for my hair. Weighed down my hair terribly and I had a bad hair day. The shampoo is moisturizing but would be better suited for those with really dry hair and a lot of it. The scent is also way too floraly for my taste. Big thumbs down.

I guess I'm the exception with this one. I purchased this shampoo based upon the wonderful reviews on here, but was a little disappointed with the results. Firstly, I have to admit that it is exceptionally moisturizing just as it's name implies, and the smell is fantastic. The first time I used it, I noticed an improved softness even with wet hair. Unfortunately, after the second use, my hair felt weighed down. I think this would probably be best for those with extremely dry or damaged hair. I need a better balance of moisturizing for my ends, but clarifying for my scalp. This just made my scalp more oily.

i have to agree with the other reviewers even though it hurts me. i've never loved joico, however their moisture recovery line is true to form - it moisturizes.
also, i don't find that it weighs my hair down and i don't need too much of it to really give me that clean feeling i love.
although the small bottle price can, from time to time, be a deterrent, there are always liter bottle sales where you can get this 1 L of the shampoo or conditioner for under $35CAN, and that L should last you an awful long time.
i totally recommend. much better the matrix biolage hydrating shampoo or redken all soft.

Thanks, MUAers! Another great find I never would have discovered myself. This is a fantastic shampoo- a little goes a long way, it smells great, is gentle, doesn't weigh my hair down, and makes it smooth. I have straight, thick hair that goes frizzy and gets wings in the summer. This seems gentle enough for my sensitive scalp too. It's a good price if you look too- I found a liter of both for $39 Can. in a salon. All-in-all, a great product.

Wow, now I know why this has such great reviews. A friend of mine who's a hairstylist said she liked this line, and had even repurchased it (something she almost never does) because it was so good. It is quite inexpensive compared to most of the lines I love, it smells good (sort of a clean/marine smell), and it makes your hair very, very soft! It doesn't feel weighed down, just soft and smooth. Even after using my CHI iron, my ends feel much softer than usual! The Moisture Recovery line does not get enough publicity!

I bought this shampoo (and the conditioner) based on the great reviews on MUA. I have very fine, straight, dry, a little below chin-length virgin hair that I blow dry most days. It was always hard to strike a balance between choosing volumizing products and products that added moisture. I tried Kerastase and Terax, but for the high cost and the lack of availability, I wanted to give something else a try. Within two days of using both the shampoo and conditioner, my hair was shiny and soft, even after blow drying! I just love how it feels. I use this every day, and haven't had any trouble with buildup, as some other reviewers have mentioned. The price is great, and I will continue to buy this when it runs out!

Allbanc Split Corp. Announces Reorganization Proposal
Tuesday December 11, 3:33 pm ET
TORONTO, Dec. 11 /CNW/ - Allbanc Split Corp. (the "Company") announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a proposal to reorganize the Company. The reorganization will permit holders of Class A Capital Shares to extend their investment in the Company beyond the redemption date of March 10, 2008 for up to an additional 5 years. The Class A Preferred Shares will be redeemed on the same terms originally contemplated in their share provisions. Holders of Class A Capital Shares who do not wish to extend their investment and all holders of Class A Preferred Shares will have their shares redeemed on March 10, 2008.
The reorganization will involve (i) the extension of the originally scheduled redemption date, (ii) a special retraction right to enable holders of Class A Capital Shares to retract their shares as originally contemplated should they not wish to extend their investment and (iii) the creation of a new class of shares to be known as the Class B Preferred Shares in order to provide continuing leverage for the Class A Capital Shares. The reorganization will be subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.
A special meeting of holders of Class A Capital Shares has been called and will be held on January 25, 2008 to consider and vote upon the reorganization. Details of the proposed reorganization will be outlined in an information circular to be prepared and delivered to holders of Class A Capital Shares in connection with the special meeting.

The preferred shareholders receive dividends equivalent to those interest payments, and their principal is backed by the equity in the common shares (as long as the common shares still have value ).

Arby wrote:I expect there should be a direct inverse relationship between split pref prices and interest rates. It also depends on which interest rate is used. James Hymas blog provides a good explanation of the relationship between preferred share price and interest rates. Since split prefs typically have a 5 year maturity, the split pref inverse relationship should be with short term corporate bond rates. However, since split prefs are so thinly traded, a few small trades can greatly affect the price, so I don't think the relationship is very solid.
Perhaps what it comes down to is that split prefs are using the common stock as a cushion.

I agree.
like_to_retire wrote:No, the reason is that splits act much like retractable preferred shares that enjoy a retraction date, which is a put option for the holder, at a known price at a known time. The maturity date of a split is a proxy for this feature. Like a bond, if I know that at a certain date I can "get my money back", it tends to support the price from being wildly affected by interest rates, especially if the retraction or maturity date is within sight.
For example, check a graph of MFC.PR.A (retractable) against a perpetual and a high rated split. The retractable and split will track and the perpetual falls off a cliff.

Despite naysayers in some of the highest offices in the land, the story of America may be the most compelling national story ever told in the history of the world, the story of men who fought and died for a universal desire — freedom — and then embodied that desire in a set of guiding principles that continues to this day.
Those principles have created a bright beacon of hope to millions of people with that universal desire in their hearts — from every continent and nation they have come to build a better life here on the principle of freedom — and made the United States "a shining city on a hill," as President Ronald Reagan so often called it, paraphrasing scripture.
Warts and all — and we've had a few humdingers, long corrected — this country remains to this day that global beacon of hope. People endanger themselves and their children to flee their country and come to America, even sneaking in illegally if need be just to get in. People voting with their lives is stronger evidence than any words that the bright shining hope of America continues.
But more and more Americans know less and less of that history, ignorant of the most basic elements. Sometimes it becomes apparent that we do not know where we are going as a country, that we seem adrift in murky waters, because too many Americans have forgotten from where we came.
National amnesia is a dangerous disease when it comes to a country that has been the bulwark against tyranny and oppression in the modern world.
National amnesia
But now it turns out that history is not being forgotten so much as it is not being taught. That seems to be the primary takeaway from the latest National Assessment of Educational Progress, the so-called "national report card" from the U.S. Department of Education.
The results should alarm every American who does know history and understands what is at stake if we forget.
The most recent test was on more than 30,000 students in fourth, eighth and 12th grades to determine their knowledge of U.S. history. They were categorized in three levels: basic, proficient and advanced. Overall, 20% of fourth-graders, 17% of eighth-graders and a frightening 12% of high school seniors were considered proficient in history — only the middle category.
Fewer than a quarter of high school seniors made it to the lowest level of basic. So somewhere between 75% to 88% of people eligible to vote in the 2012 election have no real historic context on which to base decisions — greatly increasing the possibility that we will be doomed to repeat history.
Here are some examples of the distressing ignorance from the NAEP:
• A majority of fourth-graders did not know why Abraham Lincoln was an important figure in U.S. history.
• Asked which country allied itself with North Korea against the United States during the Korean War — the Soviet Union, Japan, China or Vietnam — four out of five high school seniors did not know. Given China's rise in the world, that tidbit could be useful someday. (It's mathematically possible none of them actually knew the answer, because you could get that good of a score from all of them guessing.)
• A shocking 2% of high school seniors could correctly answer what Brown v. Board of Education was about. (Hint: We can't have separate school systems by skin color.)
The ignorance of American history continues into higher learning for those who move on. A 2006 survey of 14,000 college students found more than half could not say in what century the first American colony at Jamestown was founded (let alone the critically important reasons for the founding); the reason NATO was organized (which would be great to know now that it is being used in Libya); or which document states, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal" (kind of foundational for who this country is.)
What to make of all this?
Clearly, our public school students do not know history — their history. But is it their fault? Because the next reasonable question is: Were they even taught that history?
Given the increasing criticisms of textbooks for their politically correct chicanery, perhaps we should realize that students cannot be reasonably expected to know what they were not taught.
California — which, due to its size, drives many textbook decisions — is considering a law that would require history textbooks to include the role and contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender Americans, along with people with disabilities.
This stream of political correctness is identified by one of America's pre-eminent historians, David McCullough: "History is often taught in categories — women's history, African American history, environmental history — so that many of the students have no sense of chronology. They have no idea what followed what."
That's critical because history is one long series of events, each leading to the next until this present moment. Seeing history through the lens of whatever groups have the most political influence at the moment, and erasing those who made many of the momentous decisions because they are out of favor, generates a view distorted to the point of untruthfulness.
America has not always existed. Its place in the world was purchased through blood, suffering, knowledge and faith. Too many Americans have been inculcated into a revisionist, politically corrected history that elevates currently favored aggrieved and whitewashes dead white males out of existence.
The American Dream
John Quincy Adams said, "Posterity: You will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it."
Are we? Surely the vast majority of students getting a high-school diploma have no clue who John Quincy Adams was — though they probably know plenty about Lady Gaga. So here is a short shot of historical truth to inoculate from the fatal venom of forgetting how we got here.
• America was built on the backs of colonists who wanted freedom to pursue their Christian faith without the persecution of state-run religious institutions in Europe. That started at Jamestown but included Plymouth and most other colonies. The impetus continued through to the Declaration of Independence and the acknowledgement therein of God. It was still strong into the 1950s when we officially put "In God We Trust" on our money.
• America was built from the minds and hearts of men who understood that life without liberty was not life worth living. Patrick Henry famously shouted, "Give me liberty, or give me death!" In the audience were George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and many others — some of whom died for our freedom.
• America was and is watered by the blood of men and women from Concord to Gettysburg to Belleau Wood to Normandy and Iwo Jima to Inchon to Khe Sanh to Kuwait to Iraq to Afghanistan. They have made the ultimate sacrifice for the cause of freedom and kept the shining city safe. Thomas Jefferson said, "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." And that includes force of arms.
• America was built on free-trading markets and the backbone of capitalism. Although the term was not in use at the time, the concept fully was and is embodied in the emphasis on property rights, a lynchpin of capitalism. The Founding Fathers understood the importance of this and made allowances for free men and women to operate freely in the realm of business. This economic liberty is integral to who we are and is precisely how we came to be the wealthiest nation on Earth — and perhaps the lack of it will spell our downfall.
America did not just happen; its wealth has not always been; and there is no guarantee that it always will be.
Jefferson's words never rang truer: "My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of and which no other people on Earth enjoy!"
That is America, the bright city on a hill, the beacon of liberty the world over.
Let us not allow ignorance to put out that that lamp. Without a free and prosperous shining America, the world will be a much, much darker place.
God bless America.
The power of words
Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

I thank my God that you have the courage to print the truth about the current status of this great nation, the United States of America. It is so refreshing to read such a stirring recap of how far this country has wandered from the original intent of our Founding Fathers of freedom from oppression, freedom of speech, and our unalienable rights, given to us by God, of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.
I pray that God will help us to restore our Constitution of the United States of America to its rightful place as the Supreme Law of the Land. We must not allow our beloved country to be high-jacked under the leadership of the Progressive Movement, which has eliminated the origins of our history from the school class rooms and intends to subjugate our beloved country under the rule of One Global World Order.
The best way to "turn this ship around" is to heed God's Word to us in 2 Chronicles 7:14, "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

I have a similar question. I'm on the pill, and my period was due 12/30, but no sign of it. My only "symptoms" are extreme tiredness, backaches, heartburn, and slight pains in my right side in the ovary area, and moodiness. Took to HPTs, both came out negative. So, I continued to take the pills, but now I'm afraid that I might be pg, and have harmed it by taking the pills? I didn't know HPTs sometimes don't work. Do you think I might be pg? No nausea, boobs aren't sore, but they are itchy...posted 01/10/2008 by tinygiraffe

Customizing the password popup window
We'll show you some tricks for configuring the root password popup window on Red Hat-based systems.
If you use Red Hat Enterprise Linux or a Red Hat derivative such as Fedora Core or CentOS, you are probably familiar with the popup window that asks you for the root password before you can launch a program that should run as root (Figure 1). Most programs that use this authentication mechanism are tools that need extra privileges on the system. An example of this kind of tool is a program that requires access to a raw network device or a program that needs write access to directories with configuration information.

NASA in talks to remount climate study
House approval still needed, Chalerm says

The US is willing to give full cooperation with Thailand on climate research next year, says Foreign Minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul.
Though the climate study project for this year was scrapped by the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa), Thailand and the US have been in discussions over the project, Mr Surapong said during a parliamentary debate on whether to allow the US space agency to conduct the climate study from U-tapao military airport in Rayong.
There will be no new conditions for the venture if Nasa's research project is revived, the foreign minister said.

Griffith takes cautious approach to South Shore aid
By Michelle L. Quinn Post-Tribune correspondent March 18, 2014 11:46PM
U.S. Rep. Pete Visclosky, standing, addresses constituents during the Tuesday night Town Council meeting. Visclosky would like to see Lake County communities pledge $8 million in CEDIT funds to the rail expansion project before March 31. | Michelle L. Quinn/for Sun-Times Media
Updated: April 20, 2014 6:37AM
GRIFFITH — Any money the town might give toward extending the South Shore Railroad commuter line to the Munster/Dyer area won't be released until all other funding mechanisms are in place.
The town council has yet to decide what, if any, percentage of its County Economic Development Income Tax money will go toward the projected $571 million commuter line expansion. But council members do agree that the money will stay in town until commitments have been made.
U.S. Rep. Pete Visclosky, D-1st, spoke before the council at its Tuesday night meeting in support of the expansion, which would run along the Monon Corridor owned by the Northern Indiana Commuter Train District. Bids for the environmental study will be announced by NICTD in the next couple weeks, anticipated construction is set for 2020 and the new line would be operational by 2023, Visclosky said.
The local match for Lake County's communities is $285.5 million, of which Visclosky would like to see $8 million committed, or 34 percent of each communities' CEDIT money, by March 31. If $8 million isn't committed, he said he will move on to concentrate on other projects.
So far, Munster has dedicated 34 percent of its CEDIT funds, or $279,623; Highland 20 percent, or $114,883; Hobart 18 percent, or $171,000; Whiting 25 percent, or $101,892; and Lake County 25 percent, or $2.14 million.
Town Council President Glen Gaby, R-1, said he'd favor putting the money in an escrow account until such time that all local funding is ready to go.
"We're not against the expansion at all," added Council Vice President Rick Ryfa, R-3. "Perhaps we can pro-rate the amount of money based on the proximity to the expansion."
Griffith, which has yet to see any CEDIT money, will earmark $396,948 for infrastructure and economic development — 75 percent to street work and 12.5 percent apiece to economic development and capital spending. With the South Shore contribution, the town's economic development percentage would be adjusted.
If that occurs, Griffith may issue a bond to finance 20 miles' worth of street repairs and use a combination of tax-increment financing, CEDIT funds and stormwater money to pay it back. The village has yet to receive from its financial consultants the exact costs of taking that route.
"We have lots of roads that need repairing, some of which haven't been repaired in 50 or 60 years," Ryfa said of the new plan. "If we wait 10 years to fix these roads, we'll have a train expansion but no one living here because the town will be so run down."

How to Create a 4 Part Round Braid
This page will explain how to create a 4-part round (as opposed to flat) braid.
1Clip the upper ends of the 4 strands securely, you'll need both hands.Ad
2Start with the outer strand on the right-hand side.
3Weave the outer strand (on the right) under the two middle strands, then back to the right over the second strand you wove under.
4Repeat this "under two, reverse direction, over one" weaving pattern, starting on alternate sides (you'd start with the outer left strand next). After five or six repetitions you should see the round braid starting to take shape.
5Secure the finished braid with an elastic band.Ad

WoW - Free Character Moves
July 13th, 2013, 03:11
For those of you still playing World of Warcraft Blizzard announces free character transfers are underway ending on July 25th.
If you're on one of the source realms listed below, you can move your characters to one of the designated destination realms and avoid the queues — for free!More information.
By initiating one of these transfers, you will be moving your character to a new realm and home. This is a one-time, one-way move. If you wish to move your character elsewhere, you will need to use the paid transfer service.
Please be aware that, due to the unpredictable nature of free transfers, we may close down any Free Character Moves at any time and without warning if the target realm becomes full. If you plan to move with friends or your guild, we suggest that you coordinate the effort to reduce the chance of any stragglers being left behind.
July 13th, 2013, 03:11
My guess is the only reason people play this anymore is because of the social factor. I played years ago, and easily became part of a casual guild who were helpful, intelligent and funny. Maybe played 8 hours a week, but it felt like a community.

When I read "Free Character Moves" for the first time, I thought about dancing.

Aren't free character moves between specific servers offered on a regular basis on WOW? I was pretty sure this was something that they have been doing for years in order to balance out server populations.

Conformal Cooling
After the Direct Metal Laser Sintering process, the parts can be post processed (machined, welded, heat treated, polished, etc.), if desired, as any cast or billet material can be. In fact, the process yields parts with physical properties that fulfill the needs of final production parts and in cases of smaller volumes, DMLS is being used as an alternative to the traditional manufacturing processes.
By manufacturing the part with DMLS, it allows the engineer to optimize their design, because the traditional rules of "design for manufacturing" do not bound them. Direct Metal Laser Sintering grow internal passages that curve, or multiple piece assemblies built as one.
Custom manufacturing is never a problem for DMLS. Many medium-sized to small-sized parts and inserts can be constructed in hours-and-days versus days-and-weeks using traditional prototyping processes.
Tooling Inserts
• At Linear, we use Direct Metal Laser Sintering DMLS to grow tooling inserts with cooling lines already designed inside. These completely dense and highly accurate inserts allow us to put the cooling lines where they need to be, in order to achieve maximum part quality and lower costs.
• Finite Element Analysis: To evaluate placement of cooling lines and mold performance, we use Finite Element Analysis techniques. Whether it is a steady state analysis to determine temperature distribution for comparing cooling solutions, or a nonlinear analysis for determining moldfill and moldcool conditions and predicting cycle times, we can provide the necessary input to intelligently design a mold for optimum performance.

Serial No. 729,896. [o all 'whom 'it may concern.' Be it 'known that I. HARRY .lL-fram.. a citizen of'the'United States. residing at Minneapolis. in the county ot' Hennepin and State of Minnesota. have invented certain new and useful lmprovements in Amusement Slides; and l do hereby declare the following to be a full. clear. and exact description of thc invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. This invention relates to an amusement device, particularly, to such a device adapted to be used adjacent a body of water. Such an amusement device will be used at a summer or pleasure resort where a body of water is available. It is an object of this invention to provide an amusement device comprising an elevated support having a track running up and over said support. and downward therefrom'fin'to 'a body of water.`togetl1er with an Aqueduct leading from the body of water 'means and track suppmt.v a novel' n'eans for the boat and other novel tentures' to and into alinement with the 'end of the track' disposed away from said body of water, a boat adapted to run on said track being provided, together with means for elevating the boat on the track to the to of said support and releasing the same, an .meansffor creating a current in said aqueduct. It is a further object of the invention tol provide a novel structure of supporting elevatingr which will he fully set forth in ,thef'follou ne description. The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which like'relfereiute characters refer to the same parts through` out the different views, and in which, Fig. lis a generalperspective View of the device; ' Fig. 2 .is a view partly in central vertical section through the top of the support, and partly in side elevation; Fig. 3 is a vertical sectiontaken on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2, as indicated by the rows; A Fig. 4 is a partial view in 'slide elevation of the lower art' of one-end 'of the track and boat 'elevaiiiing means, a portion of said view being' shown 1n vertical section; Fig. ,'isa View in transverse vertical section'of the aqueduct used showing the boat thereiii; 'l' i inf.)r downwardly Fig. 6 is a fragn'ientary viewin side elevation showing a modified form of stop used, Figs. 2 to 6 being,lr shown on an enlarged scale; and Fig. 7 is a vertical section taken substantially or the line 7-7 of Fig. l as indicated by the arrows. The device of this invention is adapted to be used adjacent a' body of water. Reterriner to the drawings, particularly Fig. l, such a body of water adjacent the same are isposed two elevated supportingmembers 8. .lVhile any form of supporting members may2 be used, 1n the embodiment of thc invention illustrated, the members 8 are shown as in theyform of poles, such as lthe ordinary telegraph poles'- Disposed at the top of each of the members 8 is secured an arcuate rigid member 9 havingr its convex side directed upwardly. said members having horizontal cross`V pieces disposed as chords thereof which are bolted to the 'supports 8. The members 9 will preferably have grooves at their topand end portions and track cables 10 and 1l are secured at the respective ends of saidlarcuate members. The cables 10 and 11 'maybe secured by weldingT or any suitable` clamping means.v The cables 10 from the supports 8 and members 9 into the' body of water BEand form a track eiltend-v 1 designated as B and these cables are secured to anchoring stakes 1 12 disposed in deep water in the bottom lof (he body of water l?. The cables 10, preferably, are lied' together with U-shaped brace .members 13 extending beneath tbc same. and tension cables 144 are secured. to the cables 10 o r the members 13 and extend downwardly to anchoring stakes 15 disposed on the shore, these .anchoring cables preferiably being' provided with turn buckles. By means of the cables v14., the desircdtension can be given to the cables 10 and the lower portion of the cables I0 brought more. nearly into line with the surface of the water. The cables 11 extend downward away from the body of water B anchored to suitable bolts or stakes disposed in the bottom of a trough or a ueduct 16. The aquaduct 1 6 ei'xtends inwar from the blody of water B'and is curved, to aline with t e the cables 11. A platform between thes'lipportgnen 'wlichs supporti and have their lower ends bearings on the cross members supporting Vthe members 9." The shaft 24 also carries a sprocket 25 disposed centrally between the? supports Sand an endless chain 26 runs over and is driven by said sprocket. The ' chain` 26 has spaced links connected by cross pieces' 27 of appreciable length and said chain runs over supporting pulleys or sheaves 28 and a lower sprocket The sprocket 29 and the sheaves supporting the top run of chain 26 are so disposed that the top run of' said chain travels substantially parallel to the cables 11. A plurality of vertical supporting posts 30 -arranged 1n pairs support a pair of inclined spaced frame members 31 which are disposed a short'distance at each side and below the chain'26. Plates 32 of-considerably smaller width than the members 31 are secured to the inner side of said members adjacent the top edges thereof and form guiding means in the top run of chain 26. The frame members 31 have pivoted to their outer sldes by the pivots 33, swinging. arms 34, the upper ends ofwhich are beveled to extend in a line substantially normal to the upper run of chain 26. The arms 34 are adapted, when in .substantially vertical position, to engage stop blocks or members 35 also secured to the outer sides of the frame members 31. .i The aqucduct 16, which, as stated. is in the shape ofi-a trough, may be made of wooden boards or concrete, as `shown, (see Figs. 4 and A boat 36 is provided and prei-v erably will be of a size capable of seating two persons. The said boat has secured thereto at its sides, inverted U-shaped brackets 37 in which are mounted 'shea've pulleys 37a. The shcave pulleys aie of special design and have very deep grooves therein and said pulleys form .supporting means or trucks adapted to run on the cables 1() and 11, The boa-t 36 also has secured at the bottom thereof a rack 38 having rearwai-illy` directed spaced and substantially pointed teeth forming a saw-toothed rack. l@aid boat is also provided with asteering rudder 39 adapted to be operated from the steering wheel 30"- disposed in convenient position for an operator sittingr on the front scat ol' the boat. Vhile said steering means may ho of any standard and suitable type, in the embodiment-of the invention illustrated, the same is shown as disposed at the'upwardly inclined front portion or prow ofthe boat. The boat 36 is adapted to move in the aqueduct 16 and to' be carried up on the cables 11 by the chain 26, as will be later described. In order to maintain acurrent in the aqueduct 16 so that a boat 36 will travel therein without being propelled, a paddle wheel 40 is provided having an axle mounted in bearings carried by a pair of the posts 3 0, the lower portion of said paddle wheel being disposed in the aqueduet 16. The wheel 40 is thusldisposed beneath the track formed by the tables 11 and beneath the members 31. The axle of the wheel 40 carries a sprocket 41 driven'by an endless chain 42 passing over and driven from a sprocket 43. The sprocket 43 is carriedon a shaft 44, which shaft is mounted in suitable bearings carried on the supporting members 8 and is driven by a gear 45 secured thereto, which, in turn, meshesl'with and is driven by a smaller gear 46 secured to the shaft 18. Parallel walls 47 are disposed at each side of the aqueduet 16 adjacent the Wheel 40 to prevent any water being splashed out o said'aqueduct. In Fig. 6, a modifiedform of stop for the swinging arms 34 is shown. Instead of hav-v ing the blocks 35, the arms 34 have chains 48 secured tothe lower ends, which chains are .secured at their other ends to the sides of the members 31. It will be seen thatthe upper portion of thearms 34 can swing forwardly or to the left, as shown in Fig. 6, but cannotswing backwardly beyond their ver. tical position. In operation, the motor 17 will be driven and the chain 26 will be traversed in the di rection indicated by the arrows in Figs. 2 und 4. The water wheel 40 will also be Vdriven in the direction indicatedv by thc arrows in Fig. 1. A current will thus be created and maintained in the aqueduet 16, as indicated by the arrows in Fig. 1. persons using the device will step into the boat 36 at some point along the side of the aqueduct 16. The boat will be carried by the current around through said aqueduc-,t and willcome into aliiement with the track formed by e'ables 11. iAs the boat moves between the cables 11, the pins 27 on chain 26 will engage between the teeth of rack 38 and the boat will then be carried up along the cable 11, being supported thereon by the wheels 37, as shown in Fig. 4. As-the boat The boat is carried up onto 'and over the member 9 and is automatically released by chain 26 as the latter moves downward to sprocket The boat then is free and coasts down the track formed by the cables by gravity. The bo'at stays on the trackuntil it strikes the body of water B when it is projected outwardly along the surface of the water. toward the 'aqueduct 16. ' for another trip. By the arrangement o f the track and aqueduct it will be seen that the boat ln'akes a continuous-circle and it is not necessary to reverse the direction of the rboat or of any of the mechanism. If desired, the boat can be rented to the pleasure seekers for a certain period and they can make repeated trips over the device without any help or attention from other parties. If desired,'he'avy boats can be used which will plungedown into and sink into the water, or comparatively atboats which will valso become submerged. Such crafts would be used 'by bathers and can be propelled back to thea ueduct 16 by the bathers. From the va ove description it is seen that ap'plic'ant has provided a simple and ingenious amusement or pleasure device and one which will afford great entertainment and pleasure to a large number of people. By the use of the cables for the tracks a minimum amount of supporting structure is necessary and the device can be installed at comparatively small expense. The boat is securely held on the track by deep grooved sheaves and their brackets and there is no dangerous feature in the invention. It will, of course, be understood, that various changes may be m'ade in the form, details, arrangement and roportions of the parts without departing rom the scop'e of applicants invention, which, generally stated, consists in such a' device as shown and described and defined in the appended claims.

N.J. officer just weeks away from retirement praised after shooting
By WAYNE PARRY
Associated Press Writer
JERSEY CITY, N.J.- A 64-year-old police officer just two weeks away from retirement will be promoted to detective after throwing himself in front of a woman and her two young children when a gunman opened fire inside a precinct house.
Gullace grabbed the gunman's girlfriend and their two young children and threw his body over them. When a detective returning fire at the suspect ran out of bullets, Gullace tossed him his own weapon, enabling the officer to keep firing.
"I thought I was going to go out quietly," Gullace said at a news conference Thursday. "You never know."
The gunman, Corey Harley, 27, who was about to be arrested for domestic violence when he opened fire, was shot numerous times. He was in fair condition Thursday and had not been formally charged.
Two officers were also shot. One was released from the hospital and the other was in good condition. The woman and children were unharmed.
Gullace's promotion to detective will sweeten his pension. In his nearly four decades on the job, he has never had to draw his weapon.

I brewed a scottish ale this weekend and everything went great...but I have yet to see any gas release. A friend of mine brewed the same day with an Irish yeast and his hasn't stopped bubbling since it started...over 24 hours ago. I used a scottish yeast and have an active beer...constantly "moving" with a couple inches of krausen, but why no bubbling? Any thoughts?
Where's Revvy?? LOL. j/k Bubbling or lack of bubbling means nothing. It is purely a form of entertainment. A small leak and you won't see any bubbling. The only way you will know if you are fermenting is to take a hydrometer reading.
My guess would be that there has to be a leak somewhere letting the CO2 escape, bypassing the airlock. If you're using a bucket, it's probably the lid gasket. You said you can see the brew, so I assume you're using a carboy. Maybe there is a small gap between the bung and the neck or the airlock and the bung. Maybe try spritzing the outside of those areas with a weak soap/water solution and look for bubbles, or try reseating everything.

Belgian media reported today that the Belgian competition authority conducted surprise inspections at the offices of the National Lottery. The raids began on Tuesday (23 July 2013), and were conducted by Belgium's Competition Council supported by a number of ICT experts from the Public Service of Economy. The Competition Council is investigating whether the National Lottery may have abused its market position.
Particularly, the investigation relates to "Scooore", a football betting product of the National Lottery sold in newspaper shops. According to officials of the Competition Council, it is investigated whether the agreements between the National Lottery and the newspaper shops contain unlawful exclusivity clauses. The Council is also investigating whether the National Lottery abuses its dominant position on the Belgian gambling market by using profits made through its monopoly on lotteries (including scratch card games) to cross-subsidize its sports betting services.
Belgian (and EU) competition law prohibits companies, including companies in the gambling sector, from entering into anti-competitive agreements. It also prohibits abusive behavior by undertakings in a dominant position on the market. The Belgian competition authority can impose fines for a breach of competition law of up to 10% of a company's Belgian turnover.
The timing of the investigations by the Competition Council coincides with the start of Belgium's official football competition on Friday 26 July 2013.
As from the moment new developments are announced, we will post them on this blog.

Oakland, California—For food manufacturers, clean equipment is vital to safe food production. To address manufacturers' concerns about labware safety, METTLER TOLEDO has introduced Rainin BioCleanTM pipette tips. These 100% inert tips help ensure safer ingredients, critical to product safety and consistency. This in turn helps to reduce costs associated with reworked batches and unhappy customers, ensuring compliance with increasingly stringent food manufacturing guidelines worldwide.
Many products on the market are labeled 100% contaminant-free or sterile. However, research shows that even these tips may compromise the outcome of scientific work because of the presence of substances commonly used in pipette tip manufacturing, such as the detergent DiHEMDA and releasing agent oleamide. BioCleanTM tips have been proven to be free of both of these substances.
BioCleanTM tips are also produced and packaged in a 100,000k clean room environment via a fully automated process, which ensures they are free of external contaminants such as DNA, DNase, RNase, ATP, Pyrogens, PCR Inhibitors. This absence of contaminants augments their non-reactivity—as well as the safety, consistency and palatability of end-result food products.
Rainin BioCleanTM Tips are among the purest pipette tips on the market today. To learn more about how BioCleanTM helps ensure pristine lab results and safer food manufacturing, visit www.mt.com/rainin-bioclean .
