What is a ductless mini split air conditioner?
A ductless mini split air conditioner is made up of three components, compressor (outdoors), air handler (indoors) and a remote. There is no need for extensive rebuilding or retro-fitting to install the unit. All that is needed is an approximately three-inch hole in a wall or ceiling for the connecting pipes and wires to run through. Ductless mini split air conditioners can be installed nearly anywhere and are especially good for remodeling or additions to your home.

Last year's unofficial champions Free State will need a collective effort to defend their title in PE.
In 2011, Free State grabbed wins over the Pumas (56-32), the Blue Bulls (14-11) and the Golden Lions (28-17) to be crowned as the top side. This was thanks to their strong team, that consisted of SA School representatives flank Leneve Damens, prop Neethling Fouche, wing Ruwellyn Isbell, flyhalf Pieter Jordaan and centres Jan Serfontein and Dries Swanepoel.
This year, however, they don't have many individual stars. Captain Jordaan, who is the younger brother of Sharks and Baby Boks flyer Paul Jordaan, is the only survivour from last year's squad. He's also been shifted to outside centre, in the hopes that he will add some bite in the midfield.
Free State head coach Dirkie Groenewald believes his charges will be competitive if they gain the necessary confidence.
'We don't have the stars of 2011, but this team can still do well,' Groenewald told Schoolboy Derby. 'They're just lacking in confidence. We lost 37-10 to the Blue Bulls in a trial game and conceded four tries, but we can do so much better. Our defence just needs work.
'The positives are that we have a strong pack and the backline looks very dangerous when they get going. I'm hoping Pieter Jordaan will have a good tournament for us. If these boys can believe in themselves and in the game plan, we'll do well.'
Free State face a tough encounter in their opening game as they face KZN, who boast a strong squad this year.
'The Sharks can clean out everybody on their day. They're always a good side, so it's going to be a difficult match. But we have to win on the Monday. If our confidence is up there, we will surprise many people.'

Breastfeeding is a terrific way to nurture and bond with the newborn. Breastfeeding is also a very big commitment. Breastfeeding moms need to balance what's best for baby and achievable for themselves. One of the ways to help find the proper balance is with the purchase of a breast pump. We offer a breast pump that is either electric or manual. A breast feeding pump allows mom to store breast milk and pump it out when baby is napping or elsewhere. It is easier for many mothers to use a breast feeding pump rather than allow the child to nurse directly from the breast. Breastfeeding relies on many different components aside from a breast pump. Many mothers love having a nursing pillow. A nursing pillow gives comfort and support to breastfeeding moms. The nursing pillow allows mom to have a comfortable position while feeding baby. It is the perfect accessory to go with one of the different models of breast pump.

This sturdy, colorful glass wasp trap provides a safe, non-toxic way to control wasps and yellowjackets. Wasps fly up through the bottom hole, become trapped, and drown in the water.
How To Use:
Simply add the lure, a bit of water, and replace the stopper on the trap. It can be hung or set on a flat surface. Wasps can fly up into the bottom even when it's sitting on the ground. After two weeks replace the lure or just add any sweet liquid, such as fruit juice. To clean out the trap, remove the stopper, empty, and rinse.

- From Nancy at 7/28/12 6:49 AM
- From Kelly at 5/27/12 7:53 PM
- I was just wondering if anyone knows where to buy more wire and a cork for these types of traps? I have the glass, but the wire that was on it rusted & broke, and I have no idea where the cork went. Thanks!
- Hi Kelly, thanks for your question. The easiest way to replace those parts is likely to purchase wire and cork from a local craft store - they should work with the wasp trap with no problems.

Price is a bit high but I suppose you get what you pay for.
The sox are not too heavy or too light. They fit perfectly and seem to wick moisture away. The back of the heal seems a bit higher which makes for easy pull on.

Date Climbed: Sep 28, 2013
|Woke up early and drove 8 hours to Twin Lakes TH. It was raining pretty good but I did just drive 8 hours, so I headed up. It is a beautiful trail and every once and a while the clouds would part and I saw a beautiful valley down below. I hit snow just below twin lakes and was post holing to my knees by the summit. I had no view from the top due to blizzard like conditions. For some reason I had a wonderful time. I was completely alone with exception to the mountain goats and deer. Very peaceful climb.

|Nice Summit
Date Climbed: Aug 17, 2013
|The hiking route was fairly straightforward. The off-trail section of the southwest ridge took me nearly 30 minutes, which seemed odd because distance-wise it did not look that far. MANY mountain goats down near Twin Lakes. The summit views were not as great as I had hoped due to a couple of nearby ridges also being high-elevation. The summit cairn is MASSIVE. OR CoGPP 32/36

|After summitting Elkhorn Peak, I hit the Elkhorn Crest Trail over to the junction of ridges south of RCB. Up the slopes along the ridge to the summit raving against some clouds moving in. Made the summit and the clouds went on past without dropping rain which it looked like they would. Descended back down to the pass and decided to take the SE ridge back. Fun hike/scramble along the rocks on the ridge. Descended the ridge to where the forest begins and I worked my way back down to the trail below Twin Lakes. Then it was easy sailing back the trail.

|Fellow SP'ers Bob Bolton and Dennis Poulin and myself had a gorgeous day in eastern Oregon so we put it to good use by climbing up via Twin Lakes to do both Rock Creek Butte and Elkhorn Peak. We chose to do the Southeast ridge as the most direct route to this nice summit. After climbing RCB, we went over and did Elkhorn Peak, one of Oregon's 100 highest peaks. Beautiful weather and we met only two other hikers all day in this gorgeous area and they were from Boise.

|Climbed with Moni and good friend Bruce Unger.
We camped at Twin Lakes, then climbed the unnamed peak (Point 8,508) just south of the lakes and from there followed the long connecting ridge to the east flank of Rock Creek Butte which was easily climbed.
This route provided some interesting moderately steep snow and easy scrambling.

|Route Climbed: Twin Lakes Trail Date Climbed: August 3, 2004 and September 14, 2005
|I hiked in to twin lakes and camped. There was a lot of thunder and lightning overnight, but no rain. The sky started to clear a little by morning. I scared some mountain goats on the way up Elkhorn Ridge. The final scramble to the summit was pretty fun, and the view was great. I could see the Strawberry, Greenhorn, Aldrich, and Wallowa mountains. The most recent entry I could find in the summit register was from 2002.
September 2005: Did this one again as part of a four day backpacking trip in the Elkhorns. Started the day with Elkhorn prior to RCB, and then afterwards I hiked to Summit Lake to camp for the night. Gotta love the summit register, an ammo box with emergency toilet paper, a geological map of the Elkhorn Peak Quadrangle, rolling papers, and all kinds of miscellaneous entries dating back at least to the 80's. Found it interesting that the Summit Post contingency all used the same piece of paper.

I'm on board the Greenpeace icebreaker Arctic Sunrise, about to cross into an area of the Arctic that Russian authorities don't want us to see. They've contravened international law by denying our ship access to an important sea route and tried to shut us out - tried to shut you out.
But with the world watching and millions of Arctic defenders at our sides, we are defying the Russian authorities, claiming our rights to bear witness and to protest, and entering the Kara Sea.
We know roughly what's behind the curtain:
It's a nightmare, and if things don't change it can only get worse.
But there's a difference between knowing something's happening and seeing it with your own eyes. The Russian government and the oil companies know that just as well as we do; and we believe that's why they're trying to keep us out.
Yesterday as we approached Novaya Zemlya, the high north archipelago that separates the Barents Sea from the Kara Sea, schools of white-beaked dolphins swam and played in the bow-wave of our ship against a backdrop of rainbows and snow-capped mountains. We saw whales surfacing in the distance, puffins and gulls flying overhead, and a spectacular Arctic sunrise.
If this is the outskirts, I can only imagine what magic awaits within the bounds of the Arctic National Park. What magic and what darkness.
Within that park, formally recognised by the Russian government as ecologically sensitive and in need of protection, are narwhals, bowhead whales, dolphins, polar bears, walruses, and countless other Arctic species.
If an oil spill happens in this area - that supposed sanctuary for creatures that cannot withstand an onslaught of industrial activity - it will devastate this place in an instant. Despite Russian laws prohibiting industrial activity in this area, the government has granted illegal drilling licenses to Rosneft and Exxon that overlap with the park's boundaries; and those companies haven't hesitated one bit to take up those licenses and begin making preparations to drill.
Oil companies think they can operate in remote places like the Russian Arctic without scrutiny. They think they can gamble with the future of places like this one and condemn every person on the planet to dangerous climate change without obstacle or consequence.
And if we remained silent, they'd be right. But three and a half million people are refusing to remain silent. The Arctic Sunrise will cross into the Kara sea despite the Russian government's attempts to keep us out. And alongside activists and supporters around the world, we will continue to confront reckless Arctic oil operations wherever we find them.
Christy Ferguson is a Greenpeace Arctic Campaigner aboard the Arctic Sunrise.

Boy fights leukemia with champion's resolve
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Colton Matter, 12, shakes hands with members of the opposing team after a soccer game. Colton was diagnosed with leukemia when he was 9.
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Colton lines up with his U12 Blasters teammates after a Saturday morning game. He is scheduled for a bone marrow transplant, his second, sometime next month.

Colton watches the game from the bench with his teammates. His longing to resume playing sports has helped push him through some difficult months of treatment.

Colton smiles with teammates on the bench. His mother says his Christian faith has given him a profound boost.
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Colton sits on the bench as his soccer team gets ready to play on a recent Saturday morning. "He just wants to be a normal 12-year-old kid," says his mother. "He doesn't want a spotlight. He doesn't want an audience. He just likes being with the other kids, having fun and playing sports."

Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Colton's mother, Suzy (left), and Deanne Merwin greet him after the game.
And when the opponent is cancer, all that matters even more.
Colton, who is 12, was diagnosed three years ago with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It is a cruel, treacherous and often unrelenting disease that assails the body and spirit of even its most courageous victims.
Already in Colton's young life he has undergone multiple rounds of chemotherapy and radiation as well as a bone marrow transplant and a subsequent stem cell transplant. Twice Colton thought he had his leukemia licked, but twice it returned, most recently in October.
He is scheduled for another bone marrow transplant sometime next month. Although initially reluctant to undergo a third transplant procedure, a conversation with his mother helped Colton regain his usual pluck.
"If I've heard one quote from him over and over again, it's, 'Let's just get this over with,'" Suzy Matter said. "He's not a complainer and he's never been a crybaby. He just wants to get it done."
Exceptional athletes have "a certain mindset" that helps them prevail, said his father, Jeff "Butch" Matter. "It's a tenacity, and Colton has that in him."
Young Colton's resolve comes largely from sports, his parents agree. He has experienced losing, injuries and other athletic hardships, but he never gives in to adversity.
Moreover, his longing to resume playing soccer, basketball and baseball has helped push him through some very difficult months of treatment.
Colton's baseball team will start practicing for the new season in March, "and he has every intention of being on the field," his mother said. "Baseball is his No. 1 true love, so knowing that he can be back out there is a huge driver."
Even at the hospital, where Colton has stayed for extended periods over the past three years, sports have been a welcome escape. The day after his most recent transplant, he was in the hallway outside his room, playing Nerf basketball with his dad.
Moments like that "are absolutely part of his healing," his mother said.
The first clue that anything was amiss came in the summer of 2009 when Colton, then 9 years old, took a spill on his scooter. The most obvious injury was a bloody arm, but later he complained of a sore hip. The pain grew so severe "that he slept on the couch and cried through the night," Suzy Matter said. "It was weird, but we just thought there was something wrong with his leg."
When the pain persisted, his mother took him to the doctor and later to Seattle Children's Hospital. Over the next few weeks physicians could find nothing wrong with Colton's leg, so they finally ordered a blood draw. They tested again a week later, and that night an orthopedic doctor called and began talking to Suzy Matter about a high level of platelets and immature white blood cells.
"There was all this blood jargon in the conversation and I finally asked, 'What are you saying?' And she said, 'We're looking at a possible leukemia.'
"And at that point," Suzy Matter said, "our lives changed."
Chemotherapy and radiation twice helped get Colton's leukemia into remission, which is necessary for a transplant. He also had months of remission after the procedures, which allowed him to get back to sports and school with the budding hope of a life without cancer.
But both times his leukemia decided otherwise. "This disease is feisty," Suzy Matter said. "It comes back."
Colton returned to Mill Creek's Heatherwood Middle School earlier this year, and this fall he joined the U12 Blasters, a soccer team that draws largely from Mill Creek and south Everett. But he relapsed in October and has been unable to play since resuming chemotherapy and radiation.
Being a spectator at his team's games is hard for Colton "because he still has the drive to play," Butch Matter said. "Sometimes he doesn't want to go."
But when he does attend, as he did Saturday for a state semifinal playoff game in Tukwila, his teammates celebrate his return. "They all like it (when I come)," Colton said. "They hug me."
Indeed, the support of family and friends has given Colton a profound boost along the way. But according to his mother, so has his Christian faith.
"Colton asks really hard questions about God," Suzy Matter said. "But he also says, 'He's with me. We're going to kick this together.' So his faith has been a huge thing."
And when a relative brought a frog balloon to the hospital, Colton immediately knew the significance. "He said, 'Oh, Frog. That stands for Fully Rely on God,'" she said.
Even as he battles a stubborn, menacing disease, Colton has big dreams. More than anything, he wants to be a major-league baseball player.
Which is good, said his father, "because that's what you fight for. You fight for your dreams."
And in the meantime, Suzy Matter said, "he just wants to be a normal 12-year-old kid. He doesn't want a spotlight. He doesn't want an audience. He just likes being with the other kids, having fun and playing sports."

This is the air cleaner that removes air pollutants without costly filters. It emits billions of harmless electrons that attach to air impurities and convert them to negatively charged ions, causing the invisible pollutants to gravitate and bond to the positively charged collection tube (larger dust particles will fall to the ground). An independent testing laboratory showed it removed airborne dust, pollen, pet dander, and smoke particles as small as 10 nanometers-100 times smaller than the average bacteria-and its effectiveness will not wane over time like traditional air filters. Capable of purifying an entire 540' sq. room in five hours, the virtually silent air cleaner produces only 5 db-half the decibel level of normal breathing-and it does not produce any ozone. The collection tube is removable and rinses clean once or twice a month for a lifetime of reliable air filtration without additional cost. Plugs into AC. 22" H x 7 1/2" Diam. (4 1/2 lbs.)

I'm on my 3rd one....
By dt
from phoenix az
I have birds and this does a great job of collecting dust and dander. It does seem to have a short life though - about a year and then it just stops working. Fortunately, Hammacher Schlemmer stands behind their lifetime guarantee for this item and have replaced both for me with little effort on my part. I would recommend it to a friend (but with the reminder that Hammacher Schlemmer guarantees it's product if it stops working as my last 2 have done).
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The Filterless Air Purifying wonder.
By Breath of Fresh Air :)
from Kandahar, Afghanistan
I bought this to put in my room in Kandahar, Afghanistan. The air is really super bad here and on top of dust and sand storms they burn all the trash here, tires, plastic, paper and the like. Sinus problems and breathing problems are the norm. Since I put this in my room I have been sleeping better and do not wake up with a runny nose or big bags under my eyes.

By Happy!
from Lodi, CA
Works great in my drafty, dusty, multiple pet home. I have been cleaning off the collector every couple of days because it becomes so visibly dirty (shining a flashlight on the collector reveals all the tiny particulate matter) The unit is so quiet because there is no fan, so putting it nearby an area with moving air seems to be the best idea. Have been leaving mine infront of the drafty fireplace, and watch it collect dust and and dander by the hour. Nearby a vent or a fan would also be a good idea, but supposedly not necessary.

Major lack of directions!!!
By Crystal
from Florida
Lack of any written directions to assemble...only pictures...made assembly very difficult and confusing. Took many hour and 3 different people to finally figure it all out. Have only used for a day so do not know how well it works yet.

Air Purifier Combats Smoke from Fire
By Southwest Asthma Sufferer
from Santa Fe, New Mexico
The smoke from nearby forest fires is removed by the air purifier. When I rinse the filter it is covered by a fine whitish powder, which I think is airborne ash from the fire.I use my air purifier in my bedroom and it makes the air clean. It may be smokey outside, but even with a window open, the air purifier mades the air pure and breaheable.

Filterless Air Purifier
By Curt
from St. Petersburg FL
After 72 hours of continuous use, there was no evidence that anything had been removed from the air. The collector was as clean as when installed.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your comment. The effectiveness of this air purifier should not be measured by the quantity of debris collected on the tube. The particles that are the most harmful cannot always be seen, as they are significantly smaller than dust. A DVD is included in the item that helps explain how the unit works.

Moosejaw Women's Monique Junot Pant
While the history of Yoga is imbedded deeply in ancient Hindu and Indian culture, yoga pants were discovered very recently. According to The Yogic Meditation and Fields of Energy Center for Yoga Pants and Red Sandals in London, Ontario, no one did any yoga in pants in 2004. In fact, if you were wearing pants you weren't even really doing yoga. Apparently, that all changed when Sue Dali jumped off a chair lift in Telluride in February, 2004. Witnesses say that Sue jumped from about thirty feet off the ground, yelled 'I want my green pillow' and hit the snow unharmed. In a bizarre twist that no scientist can explain, at that very moment, every person in the world who was doing yoga lost their undies, had red marker on their calf and discovered yoga pants in their gym bag. In this same spirit of consistent breathing we are proud to bring you the Monique Junots.
DECENT FEATURES of the Moosejaw Women's Monique Junot Pant
- Fold-over waist and slightly flared leg
- Lots of stretch for maximum mobility
- Cotton/Spandex Jersey (95% Cotton / 5% Elastane) construction (Heather Grey contains 10% Polyester)

- Wide waistband
- Form-fitting

I like the feel of these pants. I also like the top of these pants. The color is pretty. I have not washed/worn them for yet - other than trying on. Hope they hold up okay after washing. I have young kids and I'm a human napkin/tissue. They wipe everything on my clothes despite my best efforts. :)
I wasn't sure if I was going to like these because I thought they might be too snug. I was wrong. They fit great and are the most comfortable pair of pants I own. I plan sleeping in them as well as wearing them leisurely around the house. They are well made and hope they hold up but I will be getting a second pair, just in case!
These pants are very comfortable but run small. I usually wear a small and had to go up one size. I am also short, but the length was good. The waist band helped with that because I can roll it and make them shorter or longer as desired. They are made of a nice soft light weight material. They are great for lounging around or just to throw on for an alternative for jeans. I even had to order a couple pairs just so I would have one clean at all times.
These pants are fine. I was an idiot and didn't listen to the reviews which mentioned in detail that the pants would be super tight in the thighs unless you went a size up. So I can't really complain that they are super tight in the thighs. BUT while this makes them uncomfortable for yoga, it makes them good for fitting under a climbing harness and they are a great length that I'm not risking slipping off a hold.
These pants run very small normally I wear a large and I couldn't imagine trying to fit into these. Sadly they had to go back and they were out of the color I wanted in the XL. They are cute pants but order one size up!
I wear these pants all the time, around the house and out and about. I love the way they fit and after I bought my first pair I had to reorder another 2 pair in black and 1 pair of each of the other colors. I love the way that if I am having a 'fat girl' day, I don't have to fold down the waistband and I don't have a weird line in my shirts when I do that.
Comfortable and flattering - is that possible with tight exercise pants? YES - love these pants - ordering moreLong enough fand perfectly fitting or a 5'8" fit but not skinny active walker and elliptical user. quality product and great design!
These are tight in the legs. I read a few reviews that said as much, but I thought, "eh, I'm in good shape and I have skinny legs, so this won't be a problem for me." Here are the specifics:I bought a large and my thigh is 23.5" around. (I usually wear a size 8 in jeans). They are snug enough on my thighs that the seam digs in and feels uncomfortable. Sorry I can't help with other sizes, but if you are thinking Large and your thighs are as big around as mine, I'd definitely avoid these.Otherwise, they were a nice color, but the fabric was a little thin. Not thin enough to be see-through, but pretty light weight. I have a 32" inseam and they were plenty long for me.
I love, love, love these pants! I've been looking for pants that I can wear for yoga, under ski pants, to the grocery store, and around the house... as well as being soft, comfortable, flattering, well made, and attractive... not too much to ask for, huh? These pants did not disappoint! I ordered three pairs and love them! I'm trying to think of at least one 'con' to make this review seem balanced and objective. Sorry, can't think of anything I don't like about these pants.
these are my FAVORITE go-to pants. the fold over waistband is just perfect. the only thing that was weird to me was one pant leg was longer than the other one. i had to cut them to make them even and after one wash, you couldnt even tell. comfy fabric. you'll fall in love with these.....trust me! thnx MJ

When Sylvia Jabaley found the iconic gold and purple medal in a box in her dresser, she immediately knew it was in the wrong place.
Her husband, Eric, had found the Purple Heart in 1998 as he sifted through belongings left behind by renters at a house he bought, a brick home at the corner of
"He picked it up and thought, 'I can't throw that away,'" she said.
So the medal – awarded to members of the armed forces wounded or killed in service — was boxed up for safekeeping, forgotten until Jabaley found it in the same house, the gold still shiny.
Inscribed on the back is a name and a rank — Clyde E. Ballenger, a boatswain's mate second class for the United State Coast Guard.
For hours, she searched the Internet for his name, trying to find what became of Ballenger. Finally, Jabaley found a hit. He was lost in 1944.
But who was Clyde Ballenger? Did he have family? Could they be tracked down? How was the medal connected to their house?
About eight hours into her search, Jabaley had found no confirmed family members.
And Clyde Ballenger was still a mystery.
Serving at sea
The U.S. Department of Defense has a Prisoner of War/Missing Personnel Office charged with overseeing the effort to recover more than 83,000 service members that are unaccounted for. More than 73,000 of them never returned home from World War II.
Clyde Ballenger's name is on that list. His recorded date of loss is
On that night, the USS Leopold was about 400 miles south of
The Leopold was one of 30 destroyer-escorts built in 1943 by the Navy but manned by Coast Guard crews. Their main objective was defending the convoys against German U-boats, or submarines.
In the winter of 1944, after spending two weeks training off the coast of
Crews shot a flare into the sky to help them spot the sub, but when they did, the U-boat was already descending into the waters.
As gunners fired into the darkness, the ship was rocked by a torpedo.
Statements from the crew, preserved in the Coast Guard's survivor's accounts, evoke a harrowing scene.
The blast blew Seaman 1st Class Troy Gowers out of his shoes and into a net a dozen feet away.
He returned to his gun. It was jammed. Electricity was off. When the order came to abandon the stricken ship, Gowers thrust a lifeboat overboard and jumped into the nearly freezing ocean. Waves washed over the raft.
On board the ship, a guardsman pinned during the explosion asked an officer to shoot him. When the officer said no, he asked them to pass him a gun so he could shoot himself.
Just as a storm strengthened, Seaman 1st Class W.G. O'Brien said the Leopold began to sink.
As the USS Joyce passed by, O'Brien heard their skipper on a megaphone. "We're dodging torpedoes," the man shouted. "God bless you. We'll be back."
Soon after, crew members were flung into the ocean when the ship rolled over. "The waves were about 50 feet high and one by one, the men were washed off," O'Brien said.
It was a grim morning when the Joyce returned. Of 199 crew, there were only 28 men left to save.
Clyde Ballenger, 22, was among those lost.
Life before war
Four years earlier, in 1940, Ballenger, then 18 and unmarried, lived with his parents in
His father, Clyde Austin Ballenger, was a 48-year-old barber. His mother, 50-year-old Nora Prevatte Ballenger, listed no other children.
Ballenger had left school after the ninth grade. When the census-taker came to their home, it was spring, and Ballenger was seeking work.
About 20 months later, the Japanese attacked
As a boatswain's (pronounced "bos'un") mate on the Leopold, Ballenger would have worked on the ship's deck and could have assisted with standing watch or navigation, said Coast Guard Lt. Terrence Walsh, who oversees casualty matters.
"It's your classic sailor stuff," Walsh said earlier this month over the phone.
The Coast Guard keeps records of its members made before 1950 in a bank of 3-by-5 notecards. The cards usually have a birth date and home of record.
"Sometimes, that's all it has," Walsh said.
Within those files was a Clyde Edward Ballenger, service number 220-823 — the same number on file with the missing personnel office. Born in
No family was listed on the card.
Yet when the Leopold sank, Ballenger left behind a young widow, Elizabeth Emily Ballenger, of

Clyde Ballenger's mother, Nora, died in 1949, just five years after her son, according to county records. His father, Clyde Austin, died in 1955.
'Only one left'

He listens closely about the search for a surviving Ballenger.
"I'm about the only one left," Bill said.
Bill doesn't remember exactly when
"It's been so long ago," he said.
While the years have erased the memory of his cousin's funeral, he immediately recounted that
It wasn't the family's sole loss. The war also claimed the life of Ed Ballenger, Bill's older brother and only sibling, who he said also served in the Coast Guard.
Bill remembers his cousin
"She just left the area and remarried," he said.
Bill was at a loss to explain how
"All the family was right here, local," he said.
Bill said he would like to have his cousin's Purple Heart, although he said he wouldn't object if another member of the family wanted it. Though he added, he's likely the closest family that's left.
A permanent home
Sylvia Jabaley still wonders who lived in her house that would have had some connection to
"It could have been anybody," she said.
Jabaley has been in contact with officials at the Coast Guard's medals and awards program, who encouraged her to ship the Purple Heart to their office. She's also thought about it going to a museum.
"I'm not quite ready for that," Jabaley said, standing in her shaded backyard, holding the Purple Heart in the palm of her hand. For now, she wants to keep the medal in

Hybrid Spyder: Audi unveils next chapter in e-tron concept line
Audi e-tron Spyder unveiled in Paris
Article Summary
We took a shine to the Audi e-tron Quattro when it appeared in Frankfurt last year followed by a smaller version in Detroit. Why? Because it's simply stunning to look at... and has specs to match. The latest iteration was unveiled at the 2010 Paris Auto Show this morning – the e-tron Spyder concept. This open-top, plug-in-hybrid two-seater combines a 221-kW (300-hp) twin-turbo V6 TDI at the rear axle and two electric motors at the front to deliver a limited top speed of 250 km/h (155.34 mph), reaching 100 km/h (62.14 mph) from a standing start in just 4.4 seconds.
