I have purchased numerous items from Club Piscine for my pool and spa - cleaners, chemicals, filter components, etc. It has been my experience that if there is a problem, be prepared to fight to get service, repair or replace something broken. Keep all receipts and get warranty details up front. Once you walk out the door with the product, you are on your own. I will not shop there again.

One of the first accessories that I purchase for any smart phone that I've ever owned is a case to protect my new investment. I've mentioned before that choosing a case for your phone is very similar to the process of choosing the phone itself. A large part of the decision is based on your lifestyle and how you use your device.
OtterBox makes some of the most rugged cell phone cases on the market, though they sometimes sacrifice in the portability/usability department. The OtterBox Commuter Series case makes a reasonable compromise between protection and usability.

Atsushi Murasakibara (紫原 敦 Murasakibara Atsushi) was the Generation of Miracles' center. He now plays for Yōsen High and has competed in the Winter Cup.
Murasakibara is abnormally tall for someone his age. Standing even taller than Papa Mbaye Siki, he is one of the largest players seen in the entire series. He has shoulder length, lavender hair that touches his back and violet eyes.
He wears Yōsen High's jersey with the number 9, During the fourth quarter of the match against Seirin High School, he is seen with his hair pulled back into a ponytail. He has been seen wearing a white "Tonicwater" t-shirt paired with unbuttoned khaki overalls.
Contrary to the impression his height gives, Murasakibara acts very lumpish. He fools around at serious times, which is not always well received. He is mildly sadistic and childish. He claims that the only reason he plays basketball, is because he's good at it, he doesn't care for the sport at all. He has always told others that he dislikes, is bored by and even hates players who play basketball with passion, even when they are losing. However, it is hinted that he actually likes basketball from the bottom of his heart due to his activation of Zone.[1] In accordance with his childlike nature, he has a sweet tooth and is always seen eating sugar-related foods all the time, except during a match. It is also mentioned that Murasakibara spends every single penny he has on all kinds of junk food.
According to Kuroko, Murasakibara isn't the calm type, and was actually quite the opposite while playing with the Generation of Miracles. He used to be very active in the attacking lineup during his junior high school days at Teikō, and even set a record of scoring 100 points in a single game when he was enraged. However, since basketball bored him, halfway, he became less aggressive and had been limiting himself to defensive plays only. His actual specialty is offense. During the match against Seirin, Murasakibara was startled when Seirin managed to cut Yōsen's lead from 18 points to just only 5. Murasakibara claims that it is pointless for the weak to struggle any further and then switches to offense after being enraged.[2]
Murasakibara also has the tendency to be with people who can make decisions for him. In Teikō, he was always obedient to whatever Akashi ordered him to do. In Yōsen, he is seen listening a lot to Himuro's advice.
When he was young, Murasakibara was invited by kids in the streets to play mini-basketball.[3] Murasakibara is seen at the tryouts for the Teikō basketball club. His name is called as one of the four freshmen who made it into the first string of the club, a feat never been done before.[4]
At the beginning Murasakibara did not get along well with Midorima, but after Kuroko proposed a 3 on 3 match, the dispute was settled. Due to their large difference in outlook as athletes especially towards basketball, Kuroko and Murasakibara would often find themselves arguing over hard work versus talent. Murasakibara claims that hard work is worthless if you don't have talent and that there is no merit in even trying. While Kuroko does acknowledge Murasakibara's point, he disagrees that hard work doesn't pay off. Kuroko who loves basketball and experienced loss and hardship could never agree with someone like Murasakibara who does not love basketball, receives nothing but victory.[5] Despite their differences, Kuroko and Murasakibara did get along when it came to other things, and would usually go get ice cream together along with Aomine, Kise, Midorima and Momoi.
Sometime during his time in Teikō, Murasakibara had a match against Shōei Junior High, where he played against Teppei Kiyoshi and totally demoralized the latter.[6]
As the Generation of Miracles talent began to bloom, Murasakibara became arrogant and refused to come to practices because he felt they were unnecessary. He challenged Akashi and claimed that he would not follow anyone weaker than himself. Akashi accepted the challenge and awakened his "Emperor Eye winning the 1 on 1 match. Despite winning, Akashi allowed Murasakibara to skip practices as long as he scores baskets during matches.[7]
After the graduation, Murasakibara met with the other members of the Generation of Miracles and made an oath to battle against the rest to see who is the strongest.[8] After the graduation, everyone went their separate ways, and went into different high schools hoping to win in events.
Murasakibara is first seen after Kaijō and Tōō match in the Interhigh. He is walking in the hallways, eating his usual candy and is noticed by Kagami, who was amazed by his enormous height. He is called by his teammates and is revealed that he was lost. He walks past Kuroko, who is bent over tying his shoelace and when Kuroko hears Murasakibara's name, Murasakibara disappears behind a corner and Kuroko was unable to greet him.[9]
Later on in the series it was revealed by Momoi that during the semi-finals of the Interhigh, Murasakibara did not show up for the match against Rakuzan High. This was because he refused to play against Akashi, his former captain and now-captain of Rakuzan, and resulted in Yōsen High's defeat.
Pre-Winter Cup
Murasakibara went along with his teammate Himuro to the Street Basketball 5 on 5, even though their school Yōsen High doesn't let students participate in out of school activities. He got lost and wandered around the terrain, being noticed by Seiho High.[10] He finds Himuro about to play against the Seirin High freshmen and interrupts the match by placing his candy bar on top of the flying ball at the tip-off.[11] He reunites with Kuroko for the first time since Junior High school and jokes around by first threatening him, but then patting his head, which annoys Kuroko.
As some other players asks Murasakibara about the Interhigh, he responds that he didn't play because Akashi said so. When the referee asked Murasakibara to clear the court, he remembers that he came to stop Himuro from playing. As they are about to leave, Kagami stops them and challenges Murasakibara to play. Murasakibara declines and makes fun of Kagami's eyebrows. Kagami then tries to persuade him by saying that he's too scared to play, which annoys Murasakibara and he agrees to play. Himuro and him join an unknown team in order to play against Seirin.[12]
Winter Cup
Murasakibara appears at the Winter Cup when Akashi called the Generation of Miracles for a meet-up. When Kuroko arrives and Aomine makes a comment on him bringing Furihata along, Murasakibara notices that Aomine has brought Momoi as well.[13] As always, Murasakibara is eating something sweet, this time a chocolate bar. When he finishes, he tries to open a bag of chips, fails and asks Midorima for his scissors, but Midorima refuses. Akashi finally arrives and after dealing with Kagami, takes his leave. Akashi then says that it seems that the Generation has not forgotten the oath they made.Round 1
He is later seen watching the match between Seirin and Tōō.[14]
Round 2
Round 3
In the quarter-finals, Murasakibara and Yōsen face Seirin. Murasakibara easily outjumps Kiyoshi during the tip off and gives Yōsen possession; however this is overruled by the referee as he jumped before the ball had reached its maximum height. Possession is then awarded to Seirin, who begin a series of quick passes on Yōsen's perimeter. Hyūga then attempts a jump shot, but Murasakibara shows off his fast reflexes by blocking Hyūga's shot. Seirin get the offensive rebound and use Kuroko to change the trajectory of the passes, freeing Kagami for the open jump shot inside the three point arc. However, Murasakibara blocks him and Masako notes that he is not only big and fast, but he also has a huge wingspan. She says that the entire area inside of the three point arc is "his domain".[15]Yōsen scores their first points, but after the inbounds pass, Kuroko throws a full court pass to Izuki who runs up the court, but is confronted by Murasakibara, who is not participating in the offense. Masako says that although she doesn't like players who don't run up and down the court, the Yōsen defense is complete with Murasakibara himself. Murasakibara grabs the rebound from Hyūga's missed shot over Kagami and Kiyoshi, and passes the ball ahead.[16]
As the second quarter begins, Kiyoshi attempts to lose Murasakibara using a spin move, but Murasakibara scorns Kiyoshi for believing that he could pass him with such a skill and blocks him. Kiyoshi then reveals that he had a different plan all along and throws an alley-oop to Kagami who attempts to dunk, but is blocked again by Murasakibara as his height and wingspan helped him block Kiyoshi's first attempt without jumping, thus enabling him to block Kagami. However Kagami manages to throw the ball out to Kuroko, leaving Murasakibara shocked as he thought Kuroko couldn't shoot. He then moves to block Kuroko, but is amazed as Kuroko's Phantom Shot disappears and falls into the hoop, giving Seirin its first points of the match.[17] He then tells Kuroko that he is surprised that it was Kuroko who scored the first basket for Seirin.In a subsequent play, the last of the second quarter, Kuroko manages to score another basket past Murasakibara with the Phantom Shot, and the score stands at 29 – 17 with Yosen up. In the locker room, Masako notes that Kuroko will likely be benched when the match resumes. Riko and Masako then come to the conclusion that the most important match-ups in the third quarters will be between Kiyoshi and Murasakibara and Kagami and Himuro. Murasakibara resolves to "erase" Kiyoshi.[18]
Confronting Kiyoshi in the third quarter, Murasakibara tells him that he won't be able to do a thing against him, to which Kiyoshi replies that he won't know that unless he tries. On the next possession, Kiyoshi gets the ball and faces Murasakibara who says that he'll crush Kiyoshi just as he did in Junior High school. He then asks Kiyoshi why he's trying to beat him when he knows he will fail, to which Kiyoshi replies that striving to be the number one team in the Nationals is fun. He then asks Murasakibara if he finds basketball fun, irking him. He then goes for a double clutch layup but is blocked by Murasakibara. Izuki gets the rebound and passes it back to Kiyoshi who has retreated beyond the three point arc. Kiyoshi then knocks down the three to Murasakibara's surprise, but he quickly recovers, deeming the basket a fluke.[19]
On the next possession, Kiyoshi, playing point guard, drives past Fukui and positions himself for a jump shot. Murasakibara moves out to block him but Kiyoshi quickly passes to Izuki who drives toward to hoop. Murasakibara and Ryū are there to block him, but Kiyoshi notes that Izuki's Eagle Eye has evolved enough to enable him to make a play. In the stands, Aomine notes that Seirin will break Yosen's defense on this possession as Murasakibara takes time to land after a block attempt, thus allowing Seirin to pass the ball and make a play during that short interval. As predicted, Izuki throws an alley-oop to Kiyoshi, who dunks the ball over Murasakibara, Okamura, and Ryū.[20] Much to Murasakibara's rage, Seirin is able to repeat the play in their next possession, with Kiyoshi drawing him out by faking a jump shot and then passing to Izuki, who finds the open Hyūga for a successful three point attempt.
Kagami is then put back into the game, and after blocking Himuro, rushes towards Murasakibara on the fast break. Although his dunk attempt is blocked, Murasakibara realizes that he was attempting a shot that went wrong. In a subsequent Seirin possession, Kiyoshi manages to out-jump Murasakibara and successfully dunk on him, after Izuki missed a three pointer. After this, a play by Kiyoshi enables Kagami to dunk on Murasakibara.[21]
This move finally enrages Murasakibara and he resolves to "wring the pride" out of Seirin, participating in the Yōsen offense for the first time. Araki states that she never expected this to happen, and thanks Seirin for firing up Murasakibara, who she calls "the beast". On the bench, Kuroko mentions that Murasakibara once scored 100 points in a single game when he got serious. He posts up Kiyoshi, but Hyūga and Mitobe soon join in, Hyūga stating that their main objective is to stop Murasakibara.
Kiyoshi tells him that he never intended to beat him alone to begin with, but Murasakibara doesn't even acknowledge the triple team. He pushes all three back, and when he gets the ball, he jumps into the air, his back facing the basket and performs a 180 dunk, called the Tornado Dunk, knocking Kiyoshi, Hyūga and Izuki to the ground. Seirin then attempt a fast break to catch Murasakibara off-guard, but are shocked to learn that he is equally fast over both long and short distances, as he outruns Izuki and prepares to defend Seirin's fast break. Kiyoshi attempts a layup but then converts it into a pass to avoid Murasakibara's block. However Murasakibara swats the pass away with his left hand and dunks on the Yōsen possession so powerfully that he brings down the hoop, leaving a shocked Seirin wondering how they can possibly "stop this beast".[22]
Murasakibara then proceeds to block Kiyoshi again and mock Seirin, saying that he didn't even need to get serious if this was all Seirin could do. Kiyoshi then attempts to catch a rebound using Vice Claw, but Murasakibara rebuffs him and shocks the spectators when he uses a Vice Claw of his own. He then takes the ball coast to coast and dunks on Kagami and Kiyoshi, sending them sprawling to the ground. Kiyoshi, having reached his limit, is unable to get up, but Murasakibara pulls him to his feet, telling him that, like before, he was unable to win in the end. He adds that with Kiyoshi gone from the game, Seirin would surely lose, and asks him whether he would still think basketball was fun after all this. As Kiyoshi exits the game, he tells Kuroko to win, and Kuroko tells Murasakibara that he will beat Yōsen for Kiyoshi. Murasakibara doesn't take him seriously, but Kuroko then says that he will not lose to someone who looks down upon the efforts of others, prompting Murasakibara to shout that Kuroko's ideals made him sick.[23]
Kuroko then passes Ryū and goes for the Phantom Shot, but Murasakibara, after being warned by Himuro, blocks the basket so that Kuroko can't see it properly. Kuroko then throws a high alley-oop to Kagami, who successfully dunks the ball. An angry Murasakibara prepares to post up, but is shocked to see that he is being guarded by Kuroko. Murasakibara turn around and jumps for the dunk, but is confused by Kuroko's lack of presence and knocks him to the ground, getting called for the offensive foul. Murasakibara then says that Kuroko is really beginning to annoy him.[24]
After Kagami asks Riko whether Seirin can replicate Yōsen's formation, with him defending the paint area, Murasakibara dunks on him twice. After being rebuked by Kise, Kagami does everything what he can and eventually entered the Zone. He then successfully blocks both a normal dunk and Murasakibara's Tornado Dunk (Thor's Hammer), even sending the latter to his knees, leaving him shocked. With Kagami continuing to dominate, Yōsen calls for a timeout. Murasakibara seems to have given up after seeing Kagami's strength and asks to be subbed out, angering his teammates, especially Himuro, who punches him, both out of anger and envy at Kagami's abilities. After hearing Himuro out, Murasakibara resolves to 'be in the fight until the end'. Seirin, noticing Murasakibara's face after the punch from Himuro, wonders if there had been a fight, but Kagami says it is exactly the opposite, and that Murasakibara and Himuro's chemistry exists because "they hate losing".
The match goes on and each team continues to dominate the other's defense, with Seirin trailing by a small margin. Kiyoshi then returns to the game, but guarding Himuro instead of Murasakibara. As Seirin is on the verge of taking the lead, Murasakibara suddenly manages to enter the Zone during the last 20 seconds. In this state, Murasakibara nearly overpowers Kagami on a dunk attempt, but the latter is assisted by Kiyoshi in stopping the dunk. As the fast break starts, Kagami is surprised to see that Murasakibara has already reached the other side of the court, proving that he really has entered the Zone. Kagami performs a final Meteor Jam, outjumping Murasakibara for the basket and the lead. Refusing to give up, Murasakibara had already ran to the other side of the court, preparing for one last dunk to win the game. However, he finds himself unable to jump because Kiyoshi playing point guard forced him to jump continuously and his knees have reached their limit. Murasakibara, knowing a dunk is unnecessary, as his height and nearness to the basket will allow him to easily score with a layup, goes for the final shot, but Kuroko blocks him before he can, securing the victory for Seirin.[25]
The first semi-finals game of the day was Shūtoku High vs Rakuzan High, which Murasakibara and Himuro go to watch. They arrive in the building as the match is about to start and it appears that Murasakibara reluctantly went along with Himuro, in exchange for a junk food. Himuro asks Murasakibara's opinion on the match and he simply replies that he can't imagine Akashi losing.[26] He is later impressed about Midorima's improvement.[27] During halftime, Murasakibara tells Himuro that Akashi's power is one "that negates everything". As the 2nd half starts, Akashi steals Midorima's ball and Murasakibara explains the system of Akashi's eyes, how they can detect his opponent's movements and use it against them.[28] As the match ends, Murasakibara says that a 16-point difference is around what he expected, though he noted that it can still be contested.[29]
The next semi-finals, Kaijō High vs Seirin High commences and Murasakibara and Himuro stay to watch. As Kise goes full-power from the get-go, they witness his "invincible" Perfect Copy.[30] He seemed to be a little bit annoyed that Kise managed to stop the "Phantom Shot" of Kuroko, while he himself failed to stop it.
Together with his team, Murasakibara goes to watch the finals and meets Tōō Academy on the way. Both teams greet each other and Aomine tells him that even though they last met at the opening ceremony, it feels like it's been a long time. Murasakibara asks Aomine who does he thinks will win both matches today. Aomine says the it has already been decided for the Third Place Match, since Kise is on the bench and Kaijō can't stop Midorima, but doesn't know for the Finals so that's why he went to watch.[31]
He watched the Exhibition match of Team Jabberwock vs Team Strky with his teammates on TV. They totally made fun and laughed at Okamura's new haircut upon seeing him as one of the participants. He asks Himuro if Team Jabberwock is really that amazing, which he replies 'same rank or perhaps even higher than the Generation of Miracles'. However, they saw total humiliation and were totally speechless.
Along with other Generation of Miracles, Kuroko and Kagami, he was called out by Kagetora Aida to play for "The Dream Team" against Team Jabberwock. As usual, he displays his lazy attitude upon meeting but nevertheless, showed up. When Kuroko and Kagami arrive, they proceed to start things up.

Murasakibara mostly relies on his height to get rebounds, block shots or dunk. Because he doesn't "like" basketball, he prefers staying on defense; but even then, he doesn't feel like blocking if he doesn't want to.[32] At important matches like in the Winter Cup, he is forced to do his best and his skill is truly shown. There, it is seen that Murasakibara's arms are especially long even his legs allowing him to take giant steps to catch up easily and block a shot. He has been seen blocking shots from Hyūga and Kagami when the ball is underway, so much higher than the take-off. He can also tower above all the team's centers and catch the rebound easily. The entire area inside the three point is his domain meaning that no one can escape from his absolute defense. According to Aomine, Murasakibara is so strong that even he has difficulty bypassing him.
Vice Claw
Just like Kiyoshi, Murasakibara can use his big hands for rebounding the ball with only one hand. This gives him the advantages of recovering the ball much quicker and with a longer extension. Murasakibara acquired this skill after watching Kiyoshi demonstrate it. [33]Offense
Not only is Murasakibara capable of blocking and rebounding, he can also contribute on offense with incredibly powerful dunks. His colossal size and juggernaut strength are more than enough to overpower three defenders and dunk over them, as seen in the match against Seirin. He has also been seen doing reversal dunks with ease, a feat that requires much more power than a normal dunk; facing away from the rim requires more strength to compensate for the momentum gained from running towards the basket on a normal dunk. At the peak of his power, he was even able to bring down the entire backboard.[34]When Murasakibara was on the offensive, it was also seen that, contrary to his seemingly sluggish attitude and overwhelming size, he could easily sprint both short and long distances up and down the length of the court. He even outran Izuki and got back to defense easily. He is also shown capable of handling the ball on both ends all by himself.
Thor's Hammer
Murasakibara's signature dunk is known as the Thor's Hammer, and consists of a two-handed dunk combined with a mid-air spin. Its execution involves Murasakibara posting up under the basket, receiving the ball, and jumping and spinning 180 degrees in mid-air.[35] Because of the momentum from Murasakibara's size and weight during his mid-air turnaround, he is able to overpower opponents without losing altitude during his jump. Thor's Hammer has been seen to easily overwhelm three defenders simultaneously.Zone
According to Aomine and Kise, in terms of ability, he meets the requirement to enter the "Zone" but unfortunately, he would never be able to because he was assumed to not have the most basic term needed, the love for basketball. However, their assumptions were proven wrong when Murasakibara surprisingly entered the Zone. At the brink of despair and exhaustion against Seirin High, including Kagami already in the Zone, Murasakibara opened the gates of the Zone. His power grew substantially and his speed was even greater than before.[36][37] However, not much of this was shown, since Murasakibara's body was near exhaustion and Kagami's Meteor Jam ended the game before Murasakibara could.
After the match, Murasakibara claimed to quit basketball, but broke down in tears not soon after. This makes clear that Murasakibara does have a burning passion for basketball, in contrary to what was previously believed, which enabled him to enter the Zone. Furthermore, the main condition for him to enter remains unknown.
Tetsuya Kuroko
Kuroko and Murasakibara have a rather up-and-down relationship because when it comes to basketball, they're complete opposites. Murasakibara plays basketball effortlessly and claims to have no passion for the sport itself, while Kuroko loves basketball and clawed his way up, even with his lack of talent. Off the court, it was shown in the Replace novels that they got along quite well, with Kuroko even buying or winning snacks for Murasakibara to try. However, in Junior High school, they once got into a huge fight due to Murasakibara humiliating a member of the second-string from playing basketball again, causing Kuroko to flare up in anger.[38] After Seirin defeats Yōsen, Murasakibara claimed that he hated basketball and would stop playing. Kuroko, however, smiled later on and said that there was no way Murasakibara really hated basketball.[39] Murasakibara stated in the Characters Bible that he got along with Kuroko the least.Seijūrō Akashi
Akashi is the member of the Generation of Miracles whom Murasakibara respects the most. Akashi is one of the few people whose commands Murasakibara willingly complies to. In the Replace novels, it was revealed that Akashi was also quite gentle towards Murasakibara, promising to give him the bag of sweets as a prize for winning a Shogi tournament. It was also revealed during the Teikō days that he was the reason Akashi finally awakened his Emperor's Eye and abled him to beat Murasakibara in a 1 on 1 despite being on the verge of losing by 4-0. Since then, he has respected and feared Akashi highly and has always listened to him; he even didn't play in the Interhigh semi-finals against Rakuzan during the Inter High only because Akashi told him not to.
Teppei Kiyoshi
Kiyoshi is the type of person which Murasakibara hates the most: the type who never gives up and passionately loves basketball, even if they don't have the talent. Murasakibara defeated Kiyoshi before in Junior High school, even hating him back then already because of these reasons.[40] They later re-encounter each other during a Street Basketball 5 on 5, with Murasakibara not recognizing Kiyoshi at first. He later recognizes his persistence and his will to crush Kiyoshi down fires back up.[41] Kiyoshi was Murasakibara's first rival in the Winter Cup, purposely focusing on defeating Kiyoshi early on in the match. Kiyoshi uses this to his advantage to provoke Murasakibara purposely, causing others to say that even though he "looked honest, he's actually pretty sly". In the end, Murasakibara succeeded in breaking him, but Kiyoshi still didn't give up and returned nonetheless.[42] Kiyoshi also understands that Murasakibara doesn't really hate basketball. After their loss, Murasakibara now seems to acknowledge Kiyoshi's strength along with the other players of Seirin watching their semi-finals match against Kaijō.
Tatsuya Himuro
Himuro is another person who can keep Murasakibara on a leash, often doing it with snacks. Murasakibara stated in the Characters Bible that Himuro was the one who he got along with best in his current team. He nicknames Himuro 'Muro-chin' while Himuro calls him by his first name, 'Atsushi'. Himuro often drags a reluctant Murasakibara to watch matches with him. Himuro is also envious of Murasakibara's talent and during the Seirin vs. Yōsen match, punches him when he refused to play anymore. Himuro broke down in tears, stating that it drove him crazy when talented people took things for granted. Murasakibara, possibly moved or guilty due to Himuro's tears, started to play in the match seriously.[43]
- "'I hate practice but I hate losing even more."
- "It's so disgusting that I feel like puking. All these things you guys seek: hard work, guts, faith. I'll crush them all. Everything."[44]
- "You can't win against absolute height. Any petty ideals are made obselete by me."[45]
- "I'm gonna quit basketball."[46] (To Teppei Kiyoshi after losing to Seirin)
- "I'll show you just how cruel a sport basketball is."(Kuroko no Basket season 2 episode 23)

Illinois Concealed Carry Process Getting Easier
There are signs that the initial rush of applications for permits to carry concealed weapons in Illinois is slowing down and the process is getting a bit easier to navigate.
The (Carbondale) Southern Illinoisan reports that observers say technology issues and other problems that applicants experienced when the process started in January have been largely remedied.
Richard Pearson of the Illinois State Rifle Association says some people are getting their permits within 35 days of when they submitted their applications to police.
State Rep. Brandon Phelps supported the bill that made Illinois the last state in the nation to allow concealed weapons. He says that between February and July nearly 69,000 permits have been issued.

Who she is: Parisian socialite and artists' model, Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau was the model for John Singer Sargent's painting "Portrait of Madame X."
Why she's scandalous: Known for her avant-garde style and numerous affairs, Madame Pierre Gautreau gained notoriety from Sargent's painting, but not in the manner she had hoped. Originally, the right shoulder strap was hanging off the shoulder, and the combination of this and the "erotic" suggestion of her dress, pale skin and pose caused viewers to be shocked and Gautreau to retreat from the public's eye.

Bridgemans's History
In the Midwest, just the mention of Bridgeman's Ice Cream will stir up sweet memories for many. We hear stories of ice cream sundaes being shared on a first date, the excitement of annual penny sales, and of course, many memories of the original Bridgeman's Ice Cream Shoppes®. (Click on memories to link to share your memories)
Back in 1883, in Duluth Minnesota, an enterprising young man named Henry Bridgeman began peddling fresh milk, home to home, from a goat cart. Through hard work, persistence, quality products, and a little luck, his business grew into the largest dairy concern in the Midwest.
In 1936, Henry's sons, Chester and Roy Bridgeman decided to strike out on their own and opened the original Bridgeman's Ice Cream Shoppe®. Their adventure was met with disbelief. Why would anyone open an ice cream shoppe in Minnesota? What about the Depression? But with hard work, persistence and of course, Bridgeman's Ice Cream, they opened not only one, but six Bridgeman Ice Cream Shoppes® in eighteen months.
Since our early days the name Bridgeman's has been synonymous with premium ice cream, fabulous ice cream treats and great customer service.

Marielle's Story Marielle passed away on January 17, 2013. We remember her and miss her each and every day.
Untitled By Maya and Jamie Scott — May 3, 2013 5:05pm Hello all! It is a beautiful sunny Friday here, and I thought I would write a quick update. I start a new job on Monday, that I am really excited about. I am excited to get to work, and do something to make a positive change in the world, but obviously, it is bittersweet, because it is one more step towards "normal" (whatever that means). I am sure Mari would be proud of the positive strides we are making: finding joy, going salsa dancing with friends, treating ourselves well. Jamie and I miss her so much, but find a lot of laughter in the Mari isms--the funny stories, cute videos, and memories of the life we led with our girl.We are working on getting a paver stone placed in Mari's memory at her favorite place in the world, the Seattle Children's Play Garden. We may put a bench or something as well, so that we have a beautiful place to go and reflect. We are so thankful for all of the prayers and good wishes. We carry Mari with us, every single step of the way.

This footed powder jar is hand painted with pretty white daisy like flowers that have a bright yellow center and deep green foliage.

The feet, finial and rim of the jar are decorated with rich gold gilding. The powder jar is signed on the lid by the artist, "Mehle". The vase is decorated with the same floral motif and has gold gilding applied around the mouth. The vase is also signed by "Mehle". The powder jar has a hair line crack on the bottom, please see picture. We have adjusted the price accordingly. The vase is in excellent condition.

I would like to welcome you to the revised Visual Arts Club. If your a new member now is the perfect time to see what we have to offer. If your a returning member you probably witnessed the rough times over the last couple of years. A lot of exciting changes are being made to get the art students and enthusiasts more involved. We have lots of activities ahead as we transition into semesters. This club is about exploring the art world outside of the classroom. We take time out to help each other in developing our artistic talents. We also get involved more with the professors we have here on campus. The goal is to gain more kniowledge in the field of fine arts by creating events that center around helping the artist community. Most of what we do gives members more exposure and heightens their awareness of the contemporary art world. As a club we will work together in inhancing our personal abilities by sharing freindly experiences and beliefs to apply in everyday life. I hope, with great dedication, that we are able to influence people with our passion for creativity. Zach Schaffer, VAC President |
Portal Information
The Visual Arts Club is a group consisting of graduates and undergraduates that wish to expand their abilities in the area of Fine Arts. This group was created to help its members contribute to the development of their own artistic abilities and assist in exhibiting their work publicly. Many of us dont always get the chance to display our artwork. The Visual Arts Club is a student operated organization for people who want to share similar interests and activities relating to art. If you simply enjoy art or are very active in the Fine Arts, the Visual Arts club wants your suggestions and ideas to be considered for every event. What this means is- how much members decide to contribute of themselves is up to them, but the more each of us contributes the more each of us will benefit. All ideas and all majors are welcome.

No matter what a womans shape, we will always want it to be something different. Or so it seems. I used to be a string bing, no bo obs, no butt, and no curves what-so-ever. Now that I'm in my thirties I have aquired a bit of both..well, more in the rear. I can still eat pretty much whatever I want but have been surrounded by women in my family who have been on eternal diets, self-deflating egos and complaining. I get told I'm 'lucky' and I suppose I am, but I've been called anorexic and bulemic. So there will always be labels. I would rather be a large girl and be self confident and comfortable in my own skin than be skinny an still feel self conscious. And I don't care whether my body type attracts men or not...who gives a sh it what they like, I just wanna like what I see in myself FOR myself. Afterall, if you can't love yourself completely, nobody man will.
I love my shape. I agree that if you thighs rub together it's a constant reminder that you are fat and honestly, you will see, it slows you down! Keep working out. Being curvy and In shape cannot be beat. I just wish that brownies and Mac nd cheese made me skinny not the opposite effect...
i am what i am..dont really worry about my figure as it what god gave me so i just go with the flow of it. :)
I wish I wasn't so skinny.
I wish I could get back my young woman figure. The one I had before I quit smoking and went through menopause.
I like mine, it attracts most types of men so i havnt got a problem with it, lol
I love mine, what can I say, I was blessed ;-)
I like mine for the most part. Especially my genes. I can still do pretty much whatever I want to.
I love my figure~^^ Thou... I could do with loosing just a couple inches in the thigh region.. I need to work out more~ :p
I am hour glass
mums fault. I am tall too, Dads fault, so even when I am overweight I look great. I hate the attention.

Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai is a 1960 Hindi film directed by Radhu Karmakar and produced by Raj Kapoor. The film stars Kapoor, Pran and Padmini in lead roles. This was the first directorial venture of Karmakar who had previously been cinematographer for many of Kapoor's films. The film was declared "Hit" at the box office.[1]
The team of Shankar Jaikishan composed the music for film, which includes the hit songs penned by Shailendra like "O Basanti Pawan Pagal", "Aa Ab Lout Chalen" and the title song of "Hothon Pe Sacchai Rehti Hai".
Raju (Raj Kapoor) is a poor, friendly orphan who wins his bread by singing songs. One day he sees an injured man and helps him. Later he is kidnapped by few bandits who mistake him to be an undercover policeman. It then turns out that the injured man he helped is the leader (Sardar) of this gang. The Sardar takes good care of Raju and treats him with honour. Sardar's daughter Kammo (Padmini) falls in love with Raju. Kammo and Sardar convince Raju of how they are good bandits who are making sure that wealth is equally distributed amongst people.
On one of the loots, Raju witnesses murder of newlywed couple. He decides to go to police and leaves the gang. One of the bandits, Raka (Pran), kills the Sardar and takes over; he and wishes to forcibly wed Kammo. When Raju tells all truth to police they decide to confront and kill the bandits. Raj begs police to not kill them, but is shunned. Raju is then posed in a dilemma of what to do and finds himself helpless when he sees police stooping just as low to stop crime.

Uriminzokkiri, companion websites hacked
Uriminzokkiri, a China-based North Korean news website with close ties to Pyongyang, has been hacked. The site is currently inaccessible, companion websites have also been attacked and defaced, and it's Twitter feed and Flickr pages have also been broken into.
The hack came hours after a list of apparently 9,000 registered users of the site was posted to the Internet.
The list contained user names, real names, email addresses, birth dates and other information including hashed passwords, which are the result of a process where a password is passed through an algorithm to disguise it. The attackers had apparently been able to break some of the simpler passwords, such as "123456," and the password of the site administrator.
If the user ID and password of the site administrator was correct (North Korea Tech did not attempt to verify it by accessing the site), it would allow an intruder almost complete control over the site.
On Twitter, the Uriminzokkiri account saw it's photo change to an illustration of a couple dancing the tango, the man with the Guy Fawkes mask that has become the symbol of the "Anonymous" hackers, and the words "Tango Down."
The account was also used to send out information on the attacks:
The other websites mentioned are companion sites of Uriminzokkiri.
One of the sites was changed to include a "wanted" poster that showed an illustration of Kim Jong Un with a Mickey Mouse tattoo and a pig's nose and ears. Among the listed crimes: Threatening world peace with ICBMs and nuclear weapons, Wasting money while his people starve to death, Concentration camps and the worst human rights violation in the world.
The hack and the poster will likely be deeply embarrassing for the people running Uriminzokkiri and could land them in serious trouble with the authorities in Pyongyang.
In early 2011 the site's Twitter channel was hacked and used to send out messages disparaging then-leader Kim Jong Il. It also carried a link to a YouTube that showed Kim Jong Un driving a sports car filled with birthday gifts while mowing down pedestrians.
After the hack Free North Korea Radio reported officials of the website had been questioned by investigators from Pyongyang over the hack.
The attack is the latest in a string of cyber-actions against North Korean Internet properties.

Analysis of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in foods by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 17010355 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
A new, simple and selective method for the analysis of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in foods by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is proposed. Several derivatising procedures based on the formation of an HMF silylated derivative using different reagents were studied. Among the derivatising reagents examined, N,O-bis-trimethylsilyltrifluoroacetamide (BSTFA) provided the best derivatisation yield. Sample clean-up was also optimised, using either liquid-liquid extraction with dichloromethane or solid-phase extraction (SPE) with several commercially available cartridges, and the best results were obtained using ENV+ cartridges. Quality parameters such as day-to-day and run-to-run precision (RSD<10%), linearity (between 25 and 700 ng g(-1)) and detection limit (6 ng g(-1)) were established. This method was successfully applied to the analysis of HMF content in several Spanish food samples from a local market, such as jam, honey, orange juice and bakery products. |

Hair growth...
June 7, 2012
Hey Guys,
I was just wondering if you noticed a difference in hair growth being raw?
June 7, 2012
hey paris
not really infact i noticed it getting worse until i added seaweeds back in. Guess i was becoming very low on iodine.
June 7, 2012
Paris is Raw,
If you are noticing less hair, I would think along powerlifer's line of thinking and look for a deficiency. Many times that's a sign of it. If you where hoping for more hair growth, I haven't personally noticed it. But, if you suddenly started getting nutrients you weren't getting before, it could happen.
June 8, 2012
No, my hair is fine, I was just curious if anybody had noticed any differences. Thank you guys :)

The U.S. Army has proposed an initiative to restructure its aviation assets so that the Active Duty and National Guard components each receive the aircraft that best aligns with their respective missions, makes most effective use of taxpayer dollars, and preserves the greatest amount of capability across the Total Army force. This entails the transfer of AH-64 Apache attack helicopters from the Guard to the Active force and a transfer of some of the Active Duty's UH-60 Blackhawk utility aircraft to the Guard. The Guard has flown Apaches during wartime in Iraq and Afghanistan, but as those conflicts conclude, the Army contends the transfer of the attack helicopters is the only way to ensure that pilots maintain sufficient proficiency. The Guard benefits from this transfer by receiving aircraft that are more capable and relevant to their peacetime missions supporting their state Governors and other civil authorities. Yet some in the Guard and in Congress question this transfer and are calling for a commission to study that matter further.
Join us as a panel of experts discusses the pros and cons of this restructuring initiative, how the Army will sustain its Active and Guard components, and the future of its force structure as the military resets after more than a decade at war.

Thank you for using JustAnswer Health for your question.
It sounds like the decongestion tablets are successful, so I am assuming you would like to know of preventative treatments and alternative or home remedies.
There are many things that can be done to improve this condition. Ideally knowing the cause of your sinus problems would help to give you the best ideas of what will help you. I assume you have been evaluated by a physician. If not and your condition does not improve, please see your doctor for evaluation.
From your description so far, it sounds like it is likely due to allergies of some type.
If it is only occurring in the morning, you may want to consider if there are allergies related to your bedroom. For example if you have pets, you may need to keep them out of your bedroom or at least off the bed. Another problem that has become problematic again is dust mites and/or bed bugs (if you had bed bugs you would likely have skin itching as well). But, even in case of dust mites it is suggested to do one or both of these things - purchase special allergy proof casing to cover the mattress, pillows and comforter. Additionally it is recommended to wash the bedding, pillows and casing once a week in 130 degree water to kill the mites.
If you tend to dehydration, make sure you are drinking enough fluids early in the day, as this will help to keep your sinus mucous thin, as well as provide other benefits. Of course don't drink much in the hours before you plan to go to sleep so that you are not up all night urinating.
Another issue to consider is the humidity. Too dry of air can cause the sinuses to produce a thick mucous. Too humid air fosters the growth of dust mites. One can get a humidity monitor. It is considered best to keep the humdity less than 50%, because dust mites only live when the humidity is above 50%. If you found that the air is extremely dry, which is more likely to occur when heating is on or if you live in a very dry part of the country, you may need a humidifier. The optimum level of humidity is 30 to 40%.
There are other allergens in the air, from pollen to pollution, as well as dust, dust mites, and pet dander. An air filter is recommended in the case that this is the origination of the problem. HEPA filters are recommended. They can capture up to at least 90% of the particles in the air.
Nasal lavage with either a bulb syringe or a neti pot with a solution of saline and baking soda can work to clean out the sinuses of dust particles, bacteria, yeast, and dried mucous. Some have found that using one of these forms of irrigation daily and later less frequently will prevent sinus congestion completely.
Also helpful is to vacuum frequently. There are vacuums with HEPA filters which work the best. Don't dust with a feather duster. Use a moist cloth otherwise you will just be stirring up the particles.
There are dietary things that some find helpful. Of course all people may not find this practical. Spicy curry such as in Indian food, and hot salsa as common with Mexican food are helpful in clearing up congestion. You may also simply add cayenne pepper or ginger to your diet, to foods that you find it compatible with. Ginger tea is available pre-made as well.
You may also try hot moist towels or add ginger as a compress to the eyes and cheeks. Ginger is known to reduce inflammation and open nasal passages.
There are supplements which are helpful for some.
Quercetin - an anti-inflammatory immune boosting bioflavonoid which is found in the skin of red onions and apples decreases mucous production. You may buy it as a supplement too.
N-acetylcystein (NAC) is an antioxident that thins mucous and is anti-viral. It is used by physicians to treat the over-production of mucous in children with cystic-fibrosis.
Other immune boosters are vitamin C, E, Carotene, selenium, zinc, olive leaf extract, and garlic.

Thank you to the Physician who answered my question today. The answer was far more informative than what I got from the Physicians I saw in person for my problem.

Cardboard key to Beijing street food? - Focus on China - MSNBC.com Yikes......I am all for country of origin labeling now!
Extra fiber. Can't beat that.
Thanks....I had chinese food for lunch today!!
Tasty, cardboard covering the meat.
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone.
My Dad-in-law works in China, and is the first to tell anyone who'll listen, that the best Chinese food in the world is in San Francisco, New York and Chicago. Chinese food in China just sucks, because of poor quality ingredients.
Yeah... after visiting China, I can safely say that the U.S. has perfected Chinese takeout.

Sustainability UpdateWhat Can I Do?Tuesday, Apr. 5, 2011Reduce your impact on the environment by becoming involved with your school's sustainability program. By implementing sustainable behaviors as a child, teenager, or young adult, we are more likely to continue living sustainably as we move into our own homes. To learn more about sustainability in higher education and see what schools around the country have to offer, visit the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education. Reuse school supplies this quarter. Go to freecycle.org, have a swap party, or donate yours. There are plenty of ways to recycle your old textbooks by donating them to a good cause. Adopt-a-Library has a list of libraries in schools, American Indian Reservations, and prisons in need of textbooks. Support education that teaches respect for the environment. Locally, Bronco Environmental Education (BEE), a program of the Environmental Studies Institute at SCU, provides environmental education services to the community, centered at Ulistac Natural Area. These education programs include providing free, science standards-based environmental education field trips for students from low-income schools and after-school services with supervised play time. Reintroducing youngsters to outdoor, unstructured play is a goal of Ulistac Natural Area. Wildzones play days allow kids to play with sticks, stones and mud. Learn more about BEE, and volunteer with this fun, outdoor-based program.
