Photo Release -- Northrop Grumman, ATK Complete Primary Mirror Backplane Support Wing Assemblies For NASA's James Webb Space Telescope
REDONDO BEACH, Calif., March 14, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) and teammate ATK (NYSE:ATK) have completed the fabrication of the primary mirror backplane support structure (PMBSS) wing assemblies for NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. Northrop Grumman is under contract to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., for the design and development of the Webb Telescope's optics, sunshield and spacecraft.
A photo accompanying this release is available at http://media.globenewswire.com/noc/mediagallery.html?pkgid=17593 .
The primary mirror backplane supports the telescope's beryllium mirrors, instruments and other elements during ground test operations and launch. It holds the 18-segment, 21-foot-diameter primary mirror nearly motionless while the telescope is peering into deep space. The deployable wing sections complete the backplane structure while providing thermal stability. Their unique folding design permits the telescope to fit in the five-meter fairing of the launch vehicle.
"Our ATK teammates have met unprecedented thermal stability requirements," said Charlie Atkinson, deputy Webb Optical Telescope Element manager for Northrop Grumman. "The team has done a commendable job of completing the PMBSS wing assemblies." Measuring approximately 24 by 21 feet, and weighing more than 2,000 pounds, the primary mirror backplane support structure – which includes the wing assemblies as well as the center section that ATK completed in February 2012 –must meet unprecedented thermal stability requirements. While the telescope is operating at a range of extremely cold temperatures, from -406 to -343 degrees Fahrenheit, the backplane must not vary more than 38 nanometers (approximately 1/1,000 the diameter of a human hair). For reference, if the mirror were enlarged to span from Los Angeles to New York City, the tolerance for error would be less than 1 inch.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I am considering bringing nanny cams into my babysitting service business to provided an added feeling of comfort for parents who can check on children anytime from anywhere, but I am so confused by all of the options out there (I am not very technologically inclined).
Is there a wireless camera that my sitters could bring with them to the houses they visit, and set up easily within a few minutes of arriving, that will be able to broadcast footage to parents (smartphone or web address)? They don't all visit the same house every day; it changes sometimes on a daily or hourly basis depending on need.
Is there a type of wireless camera that could accommodate this type of movement easily? Any information would be appreciated! Thank you!

Blowjob Barbie would seem to be the most accurate description of Nessa from Only Blowjobs. I can't imagine anyone resembling a live action suck doll made flesh more than this stunning Czech beauty. The only drawback in my eyes are her big fake tits, but in her defense I believe if she is going for the fantasy, almost cartoonish female look typified by a plastic tit Barbie then silicone breasts are only fitting, necessary even.
Honestly though, is there any way this smoking hot babe could any more resemble the ideal comic book heroine? The perfect face and long clean hair, the lithe dancers legs and tight little ass, slender athletic midsection supporting a massive pair of tits. What schoolboy didn't want to pass their dick across Sue Storm's or Wonder Woman's full lips, have them whisper around a cum covered mouth "Oh Jimmy, Superman is no match for your rod of steel." There is no girl better suited to fulfill that fantasy than this sensual Euro vixen.
To see the photo set and video of Blowjob Barbie fulfilling boyhood dreams one cock in her mouth at a time give the Only Blowjobs free tour a look. They remain the world leader in high end beautiful oral sex.

Paul Glen is the CEO of Leading Geeks, an education and consulting firm devoted to unlocking the value of technical people. You can contact him at info@ leadinggeeks.com.
readers also revealed that whatever support they did get left their biggest need unmet. Training focused on skills — the mechanics of management — but the new managers still lacked the language to truly understand the value of management itself.
That's right. What they needed most were words.
They can think and speak clearly about techni-cal work and how it adds value. But when it comesto the value of management, they have only vaguewords and platitudes to guide them. Without theclarity of language, new managers:It's no wonder that so many new managerscling to their technical work like a drowning manto a life preserver. At least it lets them know whenthey are adding value and being competent.
As I've coached managers, I've noticed that they need to progress through three distinct phases.
Phase 1: The language of engineers. New technical managers come to the job assuming that a manager is just an engineer with power. They believe that managers don't add value; they just supervise those who do. They retain the assumption that value exclusively comes from building and fixing things. So, they talk about writing, developing, designing, building, coding, testing, deploying, fixing, diagnosing and producing.
Phase 2: The language of authority. As theybegin to differentiate their former role from thenew one, they focus on authority — on statusrather than value. This is a dangerous time.Managers who linger (or get stuck) in this phaseget branded as self-centered and power-hungry.In it, they talk primarily about leading, directing,deciding, planning, approving, monitoring, re-warding and punishing. As soon as you recognizethis phase, start talking about the next one.

SALEM, Ore. — A bill proposed in Salem might make things easier for fisherman and hunters throughout the state.
House Bill 22-52 would allow the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to establish multi-year licenses. Currently, fisherman and hunters must apply for an annual license every year.
The proposed changes could possibly come with a discounted price for buying a multi-year license. Local outdoor sportsmen say it would make things easier, so they can just pick up their rod and reel and go.
"I've been fishing down south in California this winter and I haven't fished here yet. I was about to go out the other day and realized I didn't have my license., so it would make a difference for sure," said avid fisherman Jason Haley.
The proposed bill was at the request of Governor Kitzhaber and is currently awaiting its first reading in the Senate.

First of all, I want to pay my respects to Sher's family. I didn't have the opportunity to come across Sher's blog until after the unfortunate event of last Sunday. But while reading her posts I can understand why her death was a big blow to the food blog-o-sphere. A lovely tribute was written by Glenna, one of her closest friends. If you didn't know Sher, I am sure that post will show you a little bit of the great person and friend she was. Bon voyage, Sher.
Isn't that illustration amazing? We have to thank Ximena (I don't have her link, please help!) for that. But what the heck is Bakeanistas, you might be wondering. Well, we are a group of friends (very informal) who like to get together online to bake tasty treats. Have you ever tried to type and make cake icing at the same time? You should try it sometime, it's a lot of fun. This month, after a gazillion emails back and forth, we decided to make Cassata alia Sicilian. But before I continue, let me introduce you to the crazy brave members of our little group:
The bakeanistas that got together this month were Mary (she couldn't join us in the baking, but she gave us moral support all the way through), John, Marce, Helen, Kelly, Chris, Ivonne, Stephanie, Lisa and me. Unfortunately, Sara, Laura, and Tanna couldn't join us this time. We also had a special guest, Halley of King Arthur Flour's Test Kitchen, she was a lot of fun to bake with too.
On with the cake! I am getting there, don't despair. Like I mentioned before we made Cassata alia Siciliana, a gorgeous cheese filled and rum soaked cake that tasted even better. You can get the recipe with pictures of the process on Chris' blog. This is how mine ended up looking:
Isn't that gorgeous? I love the rustic look of the cake, actually any rustic food is fine with me. The cake is made with 2 sponge cakes cut in half (so you get 4 layers), a ricotta cheese, orange zest, pistachio and chocolate filling, a rum syrup (probably my favorite part) and a kind of royal icing. The recipe suggests to garnish it with sliced roasted almonds, maraschino cherries and candied orange zest, but since I didn't have any of them I topped it with fresh strawberries and roasted peanuts.
But how did it taste? A lot better than it looks, believe me. I had friends over Sunday night (we get together every once in a while to cook, but that's another story) and even the ones who are lactose intolerant couldn't say no to a piece of the cake. I still have some leftovers in my fridge that I am not planning on eating, would you like a piece?
Buen provecho!

Oh my!!! "Hello Gorgeous" is right!! That is truly spectacular looking. Didn't overlook ya, published then edited again, so you musta checked it out between edits. Hugs at ya!!!!!!!!
Ben, the strawberry-peanut topping looks fabulous!! If I liked fruit in/on things, I'd be all over that. Or, it'd be all over me…
Ben, take a look at this post in the Google feed reader. The links from the images don't work correctly. Not sure if there's anything you can do about it, but it can be confusing to people who don't publish their own feeds.
Cassata Cake is my favorite, favorite, favorite cake. I'll have to look up your recipe. What a fun project!
Oh that cake looks wonderful. perfect for an evening with friends.Thanks for your support this week.
Gorgeous cake Ben. You did a wonderful job. Boy I bet it was tasty.
Ben, I am so loving those berries and nuts on that cake. And I've revised my evaluation to say that there is absolutely NOTHING rustic about that cake. In fact, now that I think of it, it looks….a bit……FRENCH! Heh heh.
Yummers, huh? We're licking our plates over this luscious bit of wonderfulness. Glad you were able to share it with your friends! Mwah.
Oh my Ben! What a gorgeous creation! Rustic or not I'd have a slice or two, or three….
oooooooh! I love what you did…. I would start from the center and work my way down…no hands! And, thanks for linking to my steps….You're the best!
I'm saddened by the loss of Sher and appreciate your sharing some awareness around this tragic event.
On a brighter note – love the cake and it sounds like the Bakeanistas are an insane (in a good way) group – what fun.
So, forgive me, I'm a little slow on the draw – for your baking event – you're basically running twice a month on the 7th and the 21st? Is that correct? So you're actually running two roundups per month?

- George Diaz of the Orlando Sentinel: "Nothing against [Gilbert] Arenas personally, but he is damaged goods. He's been trying to play on creaky damaged knees for three years, and there obviously appears to be no miracle cure short of Santeria to make Gilbert all better. But enough shots at Arenas. I am here to defend Nelson. The much-maligned Jameer Nelson. The guy who is as much a team leader as Dwight Howard. Dwight Howard is the imposing, great superstar. Jameer Nelson is the heart and soul of this team. Has been for years. Yet fans, media, and even his GM don't seem to appreciate Jameer all that much. Everybody went gaga when rumors of a trade for Chris Paul surfaced during last year's NBA Draft. Everybody like to rip Jameer because he is too short and vulnerable on defense and isn't a 'true point guard.' But he's also the guy who is most clutch at crunch time. He killed the Boston Celtics on Christmas Day when he scored 10 of his 12 points in the game's final three minutes and recently took out the Denver Nuggets with a buzzer-beating 3-point shot. What more do you want from this guy?"
- Brian Schmitz of the Orlando Sentinel: "Here's Magic General Manager Otis Smith's dream, which initially sounds like a nightmare: Smith hopes Gilbert Arenas causes a major controversy. That's right. Gilbert's no stranger to dark headlines, of course, but Smith is talking about him stirring things up on the court, not the gun range. Smith wants to see Arenas create waves in Orlando by challenging Jameer Nelson for the starting point-guard job next season — or even seizing it from Nelson. This scenario sounds far-fetched now, given Gilbert's struggles since arriving in a mid-December trade. […] Smith's response came when I asked him about the clouds hovering over Arenas' future with the Magic. He hasn't been healthy, bothered by a troublesome left leg. And — as a career starter — Arenas is not happy as Nelson's back-up, even though he's showed little progress with his downsized minutes. […] Smith feels Arenas needs more time, especially with [Stan] Van Gundy. But at some point, as his mentor/father figure since their Golden State days 10 years ago, Smith needs Arenas to justify why he risked making the deal."
- Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel: "Stan Van Gundy originally tried to solve the Orlando Magic's turnover problem by talking about the issue and showing pertinent video clips to his players. Didn't work. His team still committed 20 turnovers in its win Monday night over the Cleveland Cavaliers — the sixth time in their last eight games that the Magic had at least 18 turnovers. So, Van Gundy tried something novel during practice Tuesday at Baruch College in Manhattan. He didn't use the word 'turnover.' The closest he came to discussing it? He urged his players to be sharp in one drill. […] Before every game, he writes down the keys to that game on a dry-erase board in the Magic locker room. But Van Gundy said he won't even mention the word 'turnover' on the board prior to tonight's matchup against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden."
- Jonathan Abrams of the New York Times: "The Knicks are on the wrong side of a list of worrisome numbers. They blew a 15-point lead and lost to the Boston Celtics on Monday, their sixth defeat in seven games, and fell to .500 for the first time in more than a month. And who could predict the team's scoring famine with the acquisition of Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups? Coach Mike D'Antoni pinpointed the team's most glaring issues at Tuesday's practice, especially in the fourth quarter. Against the Celtics, Anthony did not score a basket in the second half, during which he was bloodied by a Rajon Rondo elbow near his left eye and left in the final seconds of the 96-86 loss. Amar'e Stoudemire did not score in the fourth quarter as Boston raced away from the Knicks, finishing on a 23-5 run, including the last 10 points of the game. The Knicks have not scored 100 points since Toney Douglas poured in nine 3-pointers last week against Memphis."
- Howard Beck of the New York Times: "After one loss, Carmelo Anthony blamed a lack of defensive strategy. The next day, he blamed an overabundance of defensive schemes. In Indiana, Anthony upbraided Jared Jeffries for failing to get him the ball on a last-second play. In Detroit, he badgered Toney Douglas for failing to get him the ball in the second half. After his worst game of the season, he walked straight to the team bus, leaving others to explain the loss. Anthony is probably not as petulant, moody or selfish as he projected. But the hand-wringing over his demeanor obscured the Knicks' broader deficiencies — most of which stem from the trade that brought him here. Their defense is worse. Their ball movement has suffered. And their roster is in shambles."
- Ian Begley of ESPN New York: "The Knicks are 7-9 since Anthony's arrival. They fell to 35-35 after Monday night's loss to the Boston Celtics. The last time New York was .500 was Feb. 11, 11 days before the Knicks finalized the three-team, 13-player deal to acquire Anthony. They enter play on Tuesday in seventh place in the Eastern Conference, a game behind the Philadelphia 76ers. According to some associated with the team, the Knicks players may be pressing. Coach Mike D'Antoni said on Monday night that the team panicked late in the fourth quarter of its loss to the Celtics. He said on Tuesday that the offense was stagnant at times in the final stanza, a common theme in its recent struggles. D'Antoni has observed that the new-look Knicks are 'not quite sure' of what they want to do on offense late in games. The Celtics outscored the Knicks 23-4 in the final 7:26 on Monday."
- Stephen A. Smith of ESPN New York: "Monday night started with the New York Knicks introducing the Boston Celtics to a team we hadn't seen since the days of Pat Riley, Charles Oakley and Anthony Mason. It continued with blood splattered on the Madison Square Garden floor, punctuated with near fisticuffs from Amar'e Stoudemire — and teammates surprisingly eager to come to his aid. But once the final buzzer sounded and it was time to exhale, seconds removed from evident demoralization of a 96-86 defeat, it was clear these latest representatives of Gotham City didn't warrant any comparisons at all. Just pity! There are no Oakleys or Masons, just Ronny Turiaf and Jared Jeffries. There isn't a Riley on the bench, just Mike D'Antoni, who appears to detest everything Riley represented when he was with the Knicks — meaning rigidity and toughness. By now we've also learned, excruciatingly, that there is no defense, very little toughness or offensive efficiency, no team in any sense that really matters. Just a collection of NBA-caliber talent paid to wear blue-and-orange uniforms. […] A season is not made in a week or two any more than a stellar game epitomizes greatness. But if what we've witnessed in the past nine days symbolizes anything, it is that the Knicks are falling apart before our very eyes. They've lost to sub-.500 teams. They've made marginal opposing players look like All-Stars. They've appeared disoriented in running plays, at getting to key spots on the floor and forcing misses, transforming themselves into laughingstocks. Privately, as a result, they have lost faith in one another. But especially in their coach."

Mike Warnke Part II: The Real Story
continued from Mike Warnke Part I
Warnke networked widely in the evangelical community, forging ties with the Jesus People, the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship, Pentacostal preachers, Charismatics, and anyone else who unquestioningly accepted his testimony. They adored him. He was real, solid proof that an occult underground was devouring America's youth.
As mentioned in Part I, Warnke moved Sue and their two children to Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1974 so he could attend Trinity Bible College. The Warnkes became friends with another student at the bible college, Carolyn Alberty. Her testimony, while not as thrilling as Mike's, still grabbed attention: She was "third-generation Mafia", with a dad who ran gambling dens and a mom who ran brothels.
By the end of the school year, Mike and Carolyn were having an affair.
It was also around this time that Warnke made the peculiar decision to become a deacon in the Syro-Chaldean Church, a renegade offshoot of the Eastern Orthodox church. He would later lace his own services with Orthodox accoutrements such as gaudy robes and incense, which is very much at odds with the negative picture he paints in The Satan Seller of the "almost sensual" trappings of Catholicism. (p. 7)
After graduating from Trinity in the spring of '75, the Warnkes moved to Denver. Mike lured his mistress, Carolyn, there with the promise of employment at Pastor Wally Hickey's Happy Church, where Mike held an unpaid position as an evangelist for one of the church's lay ministries.
By the end of the year, he and Carolyn were openly a couple and his "employment" with The Happy Church was over.
In September '76, Mike moved with Carolyn to Nashville. He divorced Sue that December, despite desperate efforts by friends to negotiate a reconciliation. In early '77, Carolyn and Mike married. Though a few Christian associates frowned heavily on the divorce and remarriage, it didn't put a serious dent in Warnke's public image. He appeared on the cover of the October '76 issue of the Christian magazine Harmony. In the article, he's quoted as saying, "Now, I'm a strong civil rights advocate. The last time I had been in Alabama was with Dr. Martin Luther King, back in my college days when I went down there on Freedom Rides. The last time I was there was to march in a civil rights demonstration. "
As you know from Part I, Warnke was in college (very briefly) in 1965. The Freedom Rides were in '61, when Warnke was 15 years old and living in California.
In the fall of 1978, the future seemed bright for Mike Warnke. His three albums were the most popular Christian comedy albums every recorded, and his '79 tour was going to be his biggest yet. He had also written a second memoir, Hitchhiking on Hope Street.
He was touring continuously while Carolyn remained in Nashville with her mother. You can probably see where this is going. In Kentucky, Warnke met a young woman named Rose Hall and began courting her openly. The lovers met in various cities while Warnke was on the road, dishing out Christian comedy and salvation.
His relationship with Carolyn allegedly turned violent. One night that summer, according to Carolyn, Mike shoved her into a wall during a fight and split her head open. He told her, "If you go to a local hospital and tell them what your name is, I'll kill you. I don't have to do it physically. I can do it from another room or another state."
They divorced in November. Warnke told several friends that Carolyn had died.
In January 1980, he married Rose Hall. She would take a more active role in his ministry than either Sue or Carolyn, but this union was also doomed.
Sometime after his third wedding, Warnke became a "bishop". Independent "bishop" Richard Morrill had married Carolyn and Mike in Nashville, and in 1980 he consecrated Warnke a bishop in his "Holy Orthodox Catholic Church, Eastern and Apostolic" (registered in the state of Texas).
In 1982, Mike and Rose registered their own ministry as "The Holy Orthodox Catholic Church in Kentucky".
The centre of Warnke's ministry remained anti-occult, though. Throughout the early eighties, he and Rose traveled the country warning Christian audiences of the occult menace, and described their work in Kentucky helping victims of Satanism. One such victim, a little boy they called "Jeffy", was so traumatized by years of Satanic ritual abuse that he had lapsed into catatonia.
To date, no one has been able to locate "Jeffy".
On May 6, 1985, ABC's 20/20 program aired a special on Satanism in America, The Devil Worshipers. This allegedly "skeptical" report by Tom Gerold was alarmist in tone from beginning to end. On the Ricky Kasso case: "Despite numerous signs that Kasso was into Satanism and rock music associated with devil worship, police steadfastly refused to label this case Satanic. The offical explanation: A drug-related crime." Well, it was a drug-related crime. The victim, Gary Lauwers, allegedly stole ten packets of angel dust from Kasso, and Kasso (a small-time dealer) vowed he wouldn't get away with it.
Much of the program is taken up with the problems of juvenile graffiti, dog mutilations, and horror movies, but then Warnke shows up as a "former Satanist" to describe some of the practices of devil worship. He sits behind an arrangement of props that include a sword, a goblet, and a human skull. Holding up a bone, he explains that Satanists use them to tell the future. He says he was drawn into Satanism as a young man because he "wanted to be somebody special."
Cut to stark black-and-white photos of a teenage boy's corpse. Writing is faintly visible on his skin. "This is a 15-year-old boy who also wanted to be special," Tom Gerald tells us. The boy hung himself after scrawling Satanic slogans and symbols on his body. As we'll see, tying a bizarre teen suicide to Warnke's cult confessions was not a wise journalistic move.
Other "occult experts" interviewed for the program included "cult cop" Sandi Gallant and Dale Griffis, a former police chief whose academic credentials were exposed as bogus during the trial of Damien Echols and Jason Baldwin.
Contributions to Warnke's ministry topped $1 million in 1985, and reached over $2 million each year from 1987 to 1990. By '91 he had released eight albums and produced a video (Do You Hear Me?). Until the spectacular collapse of Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker's multimedia Christian empire, he was a regular guest on The PTL Club.
Warnke's account of his year as a Satanist had become more elaborate over the years. Though the only famous person to appear in The Satan Seller is Anton LaVey, Warnke told Morris Cerullo and others that Charles Manson attended one of his coven's rituals in 1966 and was unimpressed, apparently disappointed that Warnke only pretended to disembowel the nude altar girl. Manson also attended the same San Francisco occult conference as LaVey, Warnke said.
Between June 1960 and March 1967, Manson was in jail for violating the Mann Act and his probation. Warnke could not have met him in the flesh unless he traveled out to McNeil Island penitentiary.
These weren't the only stretchers Warnke was telling. In '82, he told Contemporary Christian Music magazine he had earned a Ph.D in philosophy, a master's degree in theology, and a second master's degree in Christian education. Since his single term at San Bernadino Valley College back in '65, the only schooling he had was his year in bible college. The degrees were completely fictional.
Beginning in late '86, the Warnkes talked of establishing a treatment facility for children rescued from Satanism, and began taking donations for it. This centre never materialized. By April of 1987, the lovely brick complex of Warnke Ministries in Burgin, Kentucky, consisted of offices, chapel, and library. There were no medical facilities, no rehab quarters, and no staff trained to deal with traumatized children. Dr. John Cooper was hired as director of the centre in 1989, but was fired later that year without treating a single child.
Mike and Rose separated the same year. They divorced in '91, and six weeks later Mike married his fourth (and current) wife, Susan Patton. They returned to California. Mike published his third book, an "educational" tome titled Schemes of Satan, quickly followed by his fourth book (co-written with Rose), Recovering from Divorce. Warnke was becoming something of an expert on the latter subject.
Cornerstone writers Jon Trott and Mike Hertenstein had already examined Lauren Stratford's popular memoir of child abuse and Satanic worship, Satan's Underground (which we'll see later in this series). They found that Stratford's story didn't correspond in any way to the known facts of her life. This was a disappointment to the many Christians and anti-occult activists who had supported "Lauren" and promoted her testimony, but the publishers of Cornerstone felt the truth was more important than protecting the reputations of fellow Christians.
They took the same approach to Warnke's background. Trott and Hertenstein interviewed family, classmates, friends, associates, and former employees of Warnke. They also waded through a swamp of divorce proceedings, financial documents, and academic records to ferret out which of Warnke's many claims were true.
The results were stunning. Trott and Hertenstein learned from Warnke's own mother (half-sister Shirley Schrader) that he had not wandered away from church life as a teenager. In fact, he asked to be confirmed as a Catholic in his senior year of high school.
When he was supposedly living with two slave-girls in a Satanic bachelor pad, strung out on speed, with bleached hair down to his butt and black-painted fingernails, Warnke was actually engaged to a devoutly Catholic nursing student named Lois Eckenrod. They met within the first two months of college, got engaged in the winter of 1965, and spent every day together until Mike joined the Navy the following June. Lois says Mike was a Christian who always kept his hair short. He lived alone. He showed no signs of drug or alcohol abuse.
His college friend Greg Gilbert, with whom he lived for a while, described 18-year-old Warnke in much the same way. He was part of a loose-knit group of clean-cut, mostly Christian, students who bowled, played croquet, and drank very little.
His high school and college buddies had never seen him take a drag, much less move hundreds of kilos into the Inland Empire at the behest of Satanic kingpins. While Mike "Judas" Warnke was supposedly lopping off the fingers of devil-worshipers and sipping blood from a chalice, the real Mike Warnke was bowling, sharing hot fudge sundaes with his Catholic girlfriend, and listening to folk music at campus coffeehouses.
While Warnke claims he avoided his family after enrolling at college, Shirley Schrader says Mike had Christmas dinner in Crestline with the family in '65. She noticed nothing out of the ordinary about his appearance or demeanor.
The recollections of his friends and family members weren't the only things that contradicted Warnke's story. Trott and Hertenstein used the handful of time cues in The Satan Seller to figure out just how long it took Warnke to become a drug-addicted Satanic high priest. In their side-article "Why the Dates Don't Work", they explain how his chronology is flat-out impossible.
They also sorted out Warnke's confusing claims about his education, learning that he didn't possess a single degree aside from the one issued by Trinity Bible College - a nonaccredited school.
They heard allegations of death threats and abuse from Warnke's second wife, Carolyn. They learned that he had carried on an affair during this marriage even before meeting his third wife, Rose.
They spoke to former ministry employees who quit or were fired after they realized that all the money being raised wasn't being spent in the ways it was supposed to be spent. The rehab center for child victims of Satanic ritual abuse, for instance, never existed as anything more than a fantasy.
Cornerstone published the results of Trott and Hertenstein's research as a cover article in June 1992: "Selling Satan: The Tragic History of Mike Warnke".
Testimonials supporting Warnke immediately cropped up: David Balsiger, first wife Sue Studer, Bob Larson, Pat Matrisciana, Joanna Michealson, and others stood behind him. Note that all of these people met Warnke after his supposed year of Satanic involvement.
His record label, Word, also pledged loyalty to Warnke. Warnke himself penned a scathing letter to Cornerstone, declaring that he stood by his autobiography "exactly as published", boasting of his "nationally recognized expertise on the occult", and dismissing ex-wife Carolyn as a "cold-hearted and calculating temptress".
The Lexington Herald-Leader then picked up the ball, printing an expose of financial irregularities in Warnke's ministry.
Word promtply dumped Warnke.
In September, the Warnkes shut down their ministry. Warnke ultimately admitted that his coven of 1500 Satanists actually consisted of 13 people. He declined to give their names, claiming that 8 of them were deceased, and never provided any evidence in support of his testimony.
In the spring of 1993, a panel of ministers assembled to sort out Warnke's problems, both spiritual and financial. The group rebuked him for his ungodly behaviour, recommended changes to his ministry (including accountability reports and salary caps), and advised that he pay back taxes to the IRS. Warnke reportedly complied with everything.
Warnke's ministry took a severe beating for a few years, but in the grand tradition of American preacher scandals, he was rehabilitated and welcomed back into the arms of the Christian community. By 2000, he was back on tour. The born again was born again.
But he wasn't entirely chastened by his scandal. In 2002 he published a book titled Friendly Fire: A Recovery Guide for Believers Battered by Religion, in which he vented about his treatment at the hands of other Christians. And to this day, he maintains that his experiences with Satanism are essentially as he described them back in the '70s.
Today, Warnke and his fourth wife run Celebrations of Hope Ministry. Warnke's fellow preachers skirt around the whole Satanic thing these days, focusing instead on his trials and triumphs as a temporary Christian pariah. During Warnke's appearance on The New Jim Bakker Show in 2007, Bakker told the audience, "Mike was saved out of Satanism or something."
Warnke's own comments during this show are illuminating. He joked that exaggeration on the part of televangelists is "evangelasticity". Explaining how he got into comedy/ministry, he said, "I was a child of the Jesus Movement, and of course in the Jesus Movement we all had to have a testimony. If you had been to seminary, if you had six doctorates, if you'd been in the ministry for 25 years, nobody wanted to hear a word you had to say. If you killed your mom, in say 15 minutes they'd let you pass [into] the church." In time, he realized that his own "four-star testimony" was bumming out his audiences, so he leavened it with comedy.
He says he entered the Navy to escape murderous Satanists. He figured there wouldn't be any Satanists or homosexuals there.
Today, Warnke is a "Right Reverend", and the website of Christian Communion International identifies him as a doctor.
The long hair is gone, the evangelasticity is a little less springy, but he's still the same "former Satanist" who scared the hell out of millions of Christians for nearly two decades. His four-star testimony convinced them that all witches, Pagans, and Satanists are a threat to every American family, and that the occult menace of Halloween celebrations and rock music must be destroyed.
The rehabilitation of his career demonstrates that truth is of secondary importance to certain quarters of America's faith community.

How to Create a Balanced Dart
Start sewing about 1-in. inside one of the points. Stitch through the point and off onto the bias strip beneath. |
Stitch the remaining section of the dart, by overlapping your stitching, continue to sew to the remaining point and off onto the fabric beneath. At the ironing board, fold the fabric in half and press away from the dart. |
Cut away the bulk of the strip up to about 1/8-in. to 1/4-in. away from the fold along the entire length of the fold. |

I have just found this post and have to say it does appear a little confusing but if you think of it as a seam application then it might be a little clearer to work through. I wonder if the authors would recommend cutting (grading back) the inner most layer of the dart allowance to reduce bulk? This might mean cutting the fold line of the dart though which could weaken it if it's on a straight grain? If this dart was "coutured", the edges could always be catch stitched in place, provided there is sufficient seam allowance. I wouldn't trim a dart if it is narrow.

P.s., maybe folks should try this method on scrap material and play around with it a bit. I think once you get into the process, it will become clear as to what needs to happen.

Oh, come on. You're doing a D'man and making up the most preposterous imaginable extension of something someone else said in order to maintain whatever point you're trying to make. France is not about to start executing foreigners for having a baby in France and we both know it.
The idea of the countries of the world extending relatively non-controversial human rights or benefits to one another's citizens is sound enough to be discussed on its own terms, without making up crazy red herring slippery-slope possibilities.

On the Bang Bus with Eddie Huang: Looking Beyond Midtown Trends
"New American food is great, my book release was at [Andrew Carmellini's] Locanda Verde, it was nice to be in a nice restaurant but I don't usually go to restaurants like that," he said. "When I go to Miami I don't go to Michael's Genuine."
Instead he went to Morro Castle, Jamaica Kitchen, La Camaronera, Chef Creole in Little Haiti, Skebo's Kitchen BBQ outside of Club Lexx and Conch Daddy. He called Miami Beach's Puerto Sagua "Puerto Soggy" and said Sakaya Kitchen was "goofy."
"It's too heavy," he argued. "White boy Asian food is too salty, it's too rich."
Huang wasn't too derisive about the Miami restaurants that get a lot of press, but said they're just not his thing in any city.
"There's this international class of restaurant and you go to any restaurant in any bougie neighborhood and they're going to be there," he said. "I wanted to go find places that don't have Twitter, don't have Instagram and we did that."
He also encouraged people to explore the Caribbean food in Miami, saying it shouldn't be reserved for just vacation.
"People don't talk enough about Caribbean food... cattle foot, oxtail, beef soup, ackee and shellfish," he said. "Jay-Z will come to Miami and on the way out he'll call Chef Creole, Jay-Z knows what's up."
Huang left before Art Basel kicked off, but also had some commentary on Miami's growing art scene
"Wynwood for me didn't do it," he said. Part of graffiti culture, he argued, is bombing; spray painting places where it's not welcome. All of the sanctioned graffiti in Wynwood is "kind of like seeing Shamu in the wild and seeing Shamu in the tank. I understand the necessity of seeing Shamu in a tank, but to me it's depressing."

Bachelorette Doug: Go Slow And Go Home
The show is no place for a shy guy.
Single father Doug Clerget received the "first impression rose" on the opening night of The Bachelorette, but as has happened so many seasons before, it was all downhill from there. He was sent home in the midst of a group date this week, one week short of the final four and hometown visits, after Emily Maynard grew impatient with his go-slow approach.
Clerget appeared on this week's Bachelorette conference call, and sounded relaxed and at peace with the humorous impression he made on Monday, the highlight of which was an awkward kiss on the lips at the very moment Emily was beginning her "this isn't going to work out" speech. He laughed recalling how badly he misread her signals. "I thought the conversation was heading towards 'come on, give me a kiss,' and I really was not expecting to get sent home," he said.
He believes that his status as the father of a 12-year-old boy helps explain why he often came across as overly conservative on TV – a mirror image of Emily's concern about setting a good example for her daughter. Clerget also admitted that the filming itself turned out to be an issue: "I'm pretty shy in front of the cameras; I did not know that about myself going into this."
It was pointed out that Doug and Jef shared a similar approach, in that both seemed to withhold obvious interest in Emily for several weeks, but that the strategy has worked better for Jef. Doug did point out that he had held back on his one solo date with Emily, while Jef's solo date was where he began to open up. But Doug also suggested he may have been too introverted. "I definitely tried to be respectful. I felt like Emily and I had a good connection from both being single parents, so that was an immediate bond that we had,'' he said.
"Watching [the episodes], and watching the dates she had with the other guys, I guess I did not understand how much physical chemistry was going on," he admitted. "I knew a lot of the guys were trying to be as physical as they could, kissing her every chance they got … I didn't know how much Emily wanted that to happen, being a single mom." Hey, single moms need love too.

Key for Bucs: Martin, Freeman's firsts
October, 26, 2012
By ESPN Stats & Information | ESPN.com
Adam Bettcher/Getty ImagesDoug Martin had an awesome game in the Buccaneers' win on Thursday.
Let's take a snapshot look at three statistical keys to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers win over the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night.
1-- Running back Doug Martin carried the load, becoming the first player in Buccaneers history with 135 rushing yards and 75 receiving yards in the same game.
Martin ran for 121 of those yards between the tackles, the second-most by a Buccaneers running back in the last five seasons (LeGarrette Blount had 126 in a game against the Indianapolis Colts last season).
Martin's 65 yards after contact, between the tackles, are the fifth-most by a rusher this season.
2-- Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman became the first quarterback in team history to throw at least three touchdown passes in three straight games.
Freeman was 10-19 for 124 yards and three touchdowns on passes traveling five or fewer yards downfield. It was the first time Freeman has ever had three touchdowns in a game on passes of that distance and only the third time it has been done in the NFL this season.
3--The Buccaneers buckled down against passes thrown down the field. Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder was 3-for-10 on throws of at least 10 yards down the field.
Through the first six games, the Buccaneers defense had allowed quarterbacks to complete an average of eight throws of 10 or more yards downfield, with a completion rate of 56 percent of such passes (the third-worst rate in the NFL).
They were burned repeatedly by New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees last week.

This blog URL is "polkadotteapot" as a tribute to the most influential person in my first 23 years of life: my grandma, Betty. A history of teapots and tea parties can be traced throughout our relationship.
My family moved to Washington from the midwest when I was young. This distance prevented my grandma and I from having tea parties in person, so we started regularly having tea together over the phone.
I got my first tea set from my grandma for Christmas when I was seven. It was fabulous, pink, and Barbie. I loved it and kept it years after I'd outgrown the Barbie phase.
The last gift I bought my grandma before she passed away this year was a teapot. I remember the joy on her face when she opened the Christmas gift and made the connection to our long distance phone calls many years earlier.
All grandmothers are special, but mine lit up a room. She was radiant. She had the greatest laugh and the most unfailing faith of anyone I've ever met.
The last three years of her life, my grandma could not leave the house because of a pulmonary disease. I never heard her complain about this circumstance. When asked how she remains positive, she said, "Honey, I wake up every morning and thank God for another day. Then I make a decision to be happy with whatever He gives me. Happiness is a decision."
Grandma, this blog and my journey to finding joy in everything God gives me are dedicated to you. Whenever I see a teapot, I'll think of you and smile.

Students Revolt After Mark Zmuda, Former Cardinal Gibbons Teacher, Is Forced to Resign from Catholic School for Being Gay
Yesterday afternoon, I heard a story about a group of students at Eastside Catholic School in Sammamish, Washington. They staged a sit-in to protest the forced resignation of their gay vice principal. This was due to his recent marriage to another man. Because the high school is a private Catholic one, this marriage had violated his contract. In protest of the decision, hundreds of students refused to go to class.
Later, I learned that the vice principal at the center of the controversy is Mark Zmuda, a former high school teacher of mine from Cardinal Gibbons High School in Fort Lauderdale.
Zmuda reportedly married Dana Jergens last July, seven months after gay marriage became legal in Washington. School officials said that he had violated his contract and that the decision to force his resignation was made by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Seattle.
In this video that was apparently shot from a student's cell phone, Zmuda accepted his fate and addressed students, telling them: "I love each and every one of you, Yes, I am gay. Yes, I did get married this past summer, and I know it is against the Catholic teaching. I think a lot of you guys are raised in a generation that is more open and accepting to things that are legal now in the state of Washington... I hope that no matter what happens to me and to the school that all of you guys will seek a career and work very hard, find the love of your life, and one day get married as well."
He told them, "Do your best," and one student yelled, "We're not gonna do it without you!" leading to applause from the room full of students.
A news report from Washington said the student protest spread to other area schools. In the wake of the resignation, students started a petition at Change.org, asking that the Catholic Church change its stance on gay marriage. As of this morning, more than 9,000 people had signed it.
In a story that I'm sure will be used as a platform for endless, circular political and religious debates, I think there's really only one thing people need to know: What kind of teacher Mark Zmuda was.

Mesenchymal stem cells have been recently described to localize to breast carcinomas, where they integrate into the tumour-associated stroma. However, the involvement of mesenchymal stem cells (or their derivatives) in tumour pathophysiology has not been addressed. Here, we demonstrate that bone-marrow-derived human mesenchymal stem cells, when mixed with otherwise weakly metastatic human breast carcinoma cells, cause the cancer cells to increase their metastatic potency greatly when this cell mixture is introduced into a subcutaneous site and allowed to form a tumour xenograft. The breast cancer cells stimulate de novo secretion of the chemokine CCL5 (also called RANTES) from mesenchymal stem cells, which then acts in a paracrine fashion on the cancer cells to enhance their motility, invasion and metastasis. This enhanced metastatic ability is reversible and is dependent on CCL5 signalling through the chemokine receptor CCR5. Collectively, these data demonstrate that the tumour microenvironment facilitates metastatic spread by eliciting reversible changes in the phenotype of cancer cells.

Now that you've added the data to the directory, you can actually determine whether it works with the command
ldapsearch -L -b "dc=azlan, dc=com" -W "(objectclass=*)"
You should get all data in the directory returned as a result (see Figure 1).
Now that you've come this far, you can do a lot of things with your directory. You could, for example, simply take your browser and look for data in your LDAP directory. That isn't the most interesting part though. As an alternative, you can configure your Linux client so that authentication is no longer done on your local password and shadow files, but on the LDAP server, giving you one central point from which to administer all user data instead of hundreds of computers with all their individual password files. To make it all happen, do the following.
Before you can configure your client to authenticate on an LDAP server, you should make sure all necessary software is installed. If you are using RPMs, the packages openldap, auth_ldap and nss_ldap should be present. You can verify that with rpm -q packagename. If they are not present, you can find them at rpmfind.com.
Often, two files are named ldif.conf on systems. One is in /etc and is used by nss_ldap and pam_ldap to determine where they can find required information. The other is in /etc/openldap and is used by utilities such as ldapadd and ldapsearch to determine in which container they should work. As stated before, delete one of them and make a link to the other to make things easy. Once that's done, you can put the necessary data in it. For a simple configuration you only need two lines:
BASE dc=azlan, dc=com HOST laetitia.azlan.com
The first line specifies the default container where the client should look for data, and the second line gives the name of your LDAP server. Of course, your system must be able to resolve this name by means of DNS or something similar, otherwise you could use an IP address.
Next, you have to tell the nameservice switch where it should look for data. Do this by editing the file /etc/nsswitch.conf; it should contain the following lines:
passwd: files ldap shadow: files ldap group: files ldap
With these lines, your system first tries to authenticate users on your local password files, and if that doesn't work, it tries to authenticate on the LDAP database. So if a user exists in /etc/passwd, and he or she gives the password that is in /etc/shadow, LDAP will not be used.
Next, you should take a look at PAM. This is the mechanism used on most modern Linux distributions by the different programs that have anything to do with user authentication. It can, for example, be used by login, but also by FTP, su, ssh, passwd, etc. In recent versions of PAM, each of these programs has a configuration file, normally in /etc/pam.d. In this configuration file you can specify the PAM modules that should be used by the module.
If you want the login process to do authentication on LDAP, the corresponding configuration file could look like Listing 3.
Listing 3. Login Doing Authentication
Let's give a brief explanation. There are four processes in which user and password information is used. First there is authentication, represented in the PAM file by "auth". This process lets you into the system, and one of its responsibilities is to check your password. Then there is "account", which verifies whether the user has any account restrictions that could prevent him or her from logging in to the system. After that there is "password", which is used if you want to change your password. Lastly, "session" specifies the tasks to be done if you want to use other resources on the system on which you are already authenticated.
Each of these modules has specific tasks. These tasks are specified in the PAM modules, and one of the most important is pam_unix.so. This module takes care of the normal passwd/shadow authentication and is normally required if you want access to the system. But if you are using LDAP, it is also good if LDAP is able to let you in. So before the line where pam_unix is called, there is a line where pam_ldap is called. It is not required (you still want to be able to use your system if the LDAP server is down) but it is sufficient. That is, if you can be authenticated by pam_ldap, you don't have to go to pam_unix afterward. Besides these two major modules, there are some minor modules that are not discussed here.
Re: indepth and pam_mkhomedir
There is better alternative to using pam_mkhomedir which suffers following limitations. Check this at http://www.intraperson.com/autodir.html
1) There are some applications which never need to authenticate users
But they need home dirs. -- for example smtp servers which deliver mail to home.
2) Some do use other ways to authenticate, bypassing pam all together.
3) Servers must be root so that pam can creates home dirs. Otherwise
make /home silimiar in permissions to /tmp -- famous sshd problem
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

In this study, scientists studied the effects of four different pelleted diets of increasing abrasiveness [due to both internal (phytoliths) and external abrasives (sand)] or whole grass hay fed for two weeks each in random order to 16 guinea pigs on incisor growth and wear, and tooth length of incisors and cheek teeth.
There was a positive correlation between wear and growth of incisors. Tooth lengths depended both on internal and external abrasives, but only upper incisors were additionally affected by the feeding of whole hay. Diet effects were most prominent in anterior cheek teeth. Cheek tooth angle did not become shallower with decreasing diet abrasiveness, suggesting that a lack of dietary abrasiveness does not cause the typical 'bridge formation' of anterior cheek teeth frequently observed in guinea pigs.
The findings suggest that other factors than diet abrasiveness, such as mineral imbalances and in particular hereditary malocclusion, are more likely causes for dental problems observed in this species.

Yartsa Gunbu is a Tibetan word and not a Chinese word and the nomads are forced to live in apartments because the Communist control the mountains with barbed wires and also its easier for the communist to round up the Tibetans.
Mining is not the other source of income for the Tibetans cause they always protest mining and just for that many Tibetans are being shot to death by the Communists.
Thank you for the report though, its important that the world should know about these. The Communist invaded Tibet by saying they came to liberate us - but now its time the world liberated us from the Communist Chinese before its too late.

Fleur-de-Lis Clock
Fleur-de-Lis Clock
Clock looks beautiful but does not keep accurate time.
March 7, 2013
Long time Frontgate customer, never was disappointed until this thermometer. We have never been able to calibrate it and keep it working and with the past weeks heat in the NE. It is officially not working.
Not up to Frontgates usual quality
June 26, 2012
Beautiful Addition to our Florida Room
We purchased the clock and thermometer for our Florida room and could not be more pleased. They keep an accurate time and temperature and are even more elegant than they appear in the catalog. We looked at several sets from other places before purchasing these online but they never seemed to quite measure up to the ones from Frontgate. So glad we ordered these!!!
May 16, 2012
Great addition to patio
These look beautiful against my brick house. They have lasted through the winter (I forgot to take them down) and are still accurate. It is so nice to have the time and temperature where they can be seen from the entire garden. I have received many compliments on how nice these look. Very well made and expensive looking.

Outdoor Clock & Thermometer
Our new clock and thermometer have large displays and can been seen from most areas in our backyard, especially from our swimming pool. Our neighbors have the same clock and thermometer, so we bought the same.
May 7, 2012
thermometer readings bad
Love the clock, but the thermometer doesn't show correct temperature. Changed the batteries and it still shows temperature variations off by sometimes 20 degress. Hands have faded on both as well, dont recommend for warmer climates.
March 23, 2012
Great clock!
I love this clock. I have been searching for a clock that can be left outside in the Florida climate that will not need to be constantly replaced. This clock is aluminum so it wont rust. And it is beautiful!
March 14, 2012
Nice and elegant products
The hands of the clock always need adjustment. They came loose.
I like the look of both products, very elegant. Strong material.
February 29, 2012
Fleur-de-Lis Clock Issue
We purchased the Fleur-de-Lis Clock & Thermometer Set and received them in good condition. Mounted both units within a couple hours of reciept. The Thermometer works well. However the clock hands are somewhat loose on the drive shaft and the minute hand continually disengages on a breezy or windy day....the hands stop moving at about 11 minutes before 7. The hand movement on the clock needs a redesign....too bad as the units look very nice otherwise. I would buy the the thermometer again, but not the clock.
February 29, 2012
Hoping replacement works
I usually find that Frontgate products are of high quality. However, this thermometer could not be adjusted and just did not work. Since it is just the item and size that I want, I'm hoping that I received a lemon and that the replacement will satisfy me.
February 29, 2012
wonderful product
Our Fleur de Lis Thermometer is an excellent addition to our pool area. It is well made and very accurate. A great buy!
February 28, 2012
Set of clock/thermometer
Good looking, nice addtion to patio wall, but clock was a bit fussy to set and maintain time. Hands on clock stuck at various points making the clock stop.
Seems to finally be working indoors...hope outdoors and windy conditions will not effect accuracy.
February 8, 2012
The clock
I found both items glamourous but cheaply made AND the clock doesn't work. The hour hand can't move independently of the minute hand!! weird. I simply haven't had time to call. Perhaps it can be fixed over the phone! Since this is a replacement item for the defunct library ladder that was recalled by CPS you can imagine my frustration and disappointment in your company.
February 3, 2012
Quality Products
My clock and thermometer arrived in a partially crushed box with a couple of holes in it, but thanks to your careful packaging, neither of these items was damaged. They are such a nice addition to my screened porch; they are excellent quality and seem to be very durable. I'm sure they will hold up well.
January 29, 2012
Very Nice
The outdoor clock is very attractive, easy to read from a distance and easy to set up and install.
January 24, 2012
Very fine quality
Actually I purchased two clock/thermometer sets; one as a Christmas gift and one for myself. I am extremely pleased both with the appearance and functionality of the set. It a very decorative item and adds ambience to my patio and decking.
January 24, 2012
What is the temperature?
We love the look but we are still having a hard time getting it to be close to accurate. I've made several adjustments but not sure if it is me or the unit.
January 24, 2012
Pretty but Useless
We wanted to use these products outside and did not think they woukd work with the open face on them.
January 13, 2012
Great outdoor thermometer
We love this thermometer. It is very easy to read and has been very accurate. Very easy to make minor adjustments in the reading.
January 4, 2012
Fleur-de-Lis Thermometer
This was given as a Christmas present to be used outdoors on the porch. It is very beautiful and works perfectly. The thermometer is very sturdy.
January 1, 2012
Very appreciated
This was a Christmas gift for my aunt and she absolutely loved the pair! She lives on the water and will hang them on a wall by the seawall where she can see them from her window. They are very elegant and we are all delighted!
December 27, 2011
We ordered our first thermometer in August 2011. We took our time calebrating it to ensure it would work well. It did work well as long as the weather was warm; however, when the weather cooled off, the thermometer was off by as much as 15 degrees. Frontgate was nice enough to exchange it for us. Again, as long as the weather was warm (above 40 degrees) it worked well. Unfortunately, we live in the Midwest, and the temperature dips down. When it did, the second thermometer was off as much as the first. We mailed it back to you yesterday. I will say it was the nicest looking thermometer we ever had; and we hated to send it back.
December 15, 2011
Impressive Looking
The set has a quality look and feel to it. My friends enjoy knowiing the time and temperature while visiting outside. Many favorable comments on the pieces.
December 13, 2011
Fleur-di-Lis Thermometer
Our order arrived today. When we turned the dial on the thermometer to match our internal readout, a thrang sounded and the needle became loose. I am ordering another one because we really like it.
December 8, 2011
Outdoor Clock
The clock arrived with one of the hands slightly bent. It wasn't enough of a problem to return the clock. I am worried about the durability of the clock outdoors during the winter. Time will tell.
December 8, 2011
I love it. It looks great and ever so functional. The quality, as always, is impressive.
November 23, 2011
very pleased
We are delighted with the fluer-de-lis clock.. it is hanging on our lanai, and really adds a French flair to the patio.
November 23, 2011
Great looking items
We purchased both the clock and thermometer. These pieces are a great addition to our outside deck area. The hands on both pieces did lighten up to a very light gold color after a couple of weeks, but they still look great.
September 23, 2011
Clock and thermometer set
This is a gift and has not been used yet. But they are attractive and solid to last.
September 7, 2011
Fleur-de-lis clock
This item looked stunning in the catalog, I wasn't a bt surprised to see that it was even more beautiful when we opened up the box. It is very nicely made and although the arms are light weight and easily bent , if you are careful, should not be a problem. I would not use it for an outside piece even though it says you can. It is too nice a piece and unsure if it would not get damaged.
I am very happy with this item!
