Boeing, WorkSource help veterans find work

A lot of friendly help is offered by Sue Putnam (middle right) and Katherine Martin (plum sweater, glasses) of the Terra Staffing Group, who answered questions and gave out information to hundreds of veterans such as Johnathan Curtis of Naval Station Everett (middle left) Thursday during a job and resource fair at the Armed Forces Reserve Center in north Marysville.

The words "Boeing" and "Veteran" stand out in bold white letters around the neck piece that holds her work badge.
Bartol, who lives in Arlington, is a security specialist at Boeing. She has worked for the company for 15 years and serves in the Washington Air National Guard. She joined the U.S. Army in 1986, shortly after graduating from high school in Los Angeles because she wanted to see the world. In the more than 26 years since, Bartol has completed tours in Germany and Iraq.
Adjusting to her work environment after coming home from a 2008-09 tour in Kirkuk, Iraq, was difficult, Bartol remembers. The sound of rivet guns in the company factory were especially upsetting.
"When I went out to the factory where the rivet guns went off I had an episode which ended up with me blacking out to where I don't remember a thing," she said. "When I came back from Iraq, it was really hard, but being that my boss is a veteran as well, he helped me find the resources within the Boeing Co."
Bartol, 44, is now about a year away from retiring from the military. As an active participant in the new Boeing Employee Veterans Association in Everett, Bartol sees a way she can help other veterans further their personal and professional development and help those who are new to the workforce make the transition from military to civilian life.
About 24,500 veterans are employed at Boeing and many continue to serve in the National Guard and Reserves. In the past 21 months, the company reports having hired 3,000 veterans, and it is a sponsor of Hire America's Heroes, a Redmond-based nonprofit that works to increase employment of military service members.
"This is great because now we have returning military personnel coming back from war looking for jobs," Bartol said. "Those in the Hire America's Heroes program are all gathering together to make a plan to help them transition into the civilian world."
The U.S. Census Bureau, in a 2011 survey, reported that about 57,620 veterans were living in Snohomish County. About 11.9 percent of them were unemployed, compared with a 10.6 percent jobless rate among nonveterans.
Other organizations, such as WorkSource Snohomish County, are striving to help veterans find work. The employment agency holds two annual job fairs to help veterans who are looking for jobs connect with potential employers. Hundreds of people last Thursday attended the most recent Snohomish County Regional Veterans' Job and Resource Fair at the Armed Forces Reserve Center in Marysville.
Neil Collins, of Whidbey Island, has been looking for work since September. He took a class offered by WorkSource that helped him revise his resume and learn how to make business cards. He had copies of his resume and cards in hand as he moved among the more than 40 employer booths at the event.
Collins, 37, served as a fuels specialist in the U.S. Air Force at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Fla. His four years of service included a tour in Turkey. After his military service ended in 1998, Collins found employment in the hotel industry. He later found work as a video production technician and as an insurance-claims adjuster.
"I want to showcase my other abilities and do something else," Collins said. "All in all, I just want to find happiness in doing something else, but with the tough job market, I may have to go back to insurance."
Veterans need to remember to talk about skills they have outside their military job classifications, especially when they're first entering the workforce, Collins added.
Many veterans can find that difficult, agreed Paul Stayback, a disabled veterans outreach specialist with WorkSource.
"One of those challenges is pulling in those additional skills they've gotten through collateral duties or additional duties," he said. "Just because somebody may have been a truck driver or a cook doesn't mean that they weren't doing inventory and they weren't doing community resource functions and other transferable skills."
Many of the skills people learn in the military are important to potential employers like Geoff Weatherbie, guest services manager at Comcast Arena in Everett. He spoke to veterans last week about available part-time positions.
"I found that veterans entering the workforce have a skill set that is unlike anything else and is really valuable," he said. "I think they understand professionalism ... They have a lot of respect for greeting people, looking them in the eye and things that are staples of military life but are rare nowadays" in the civilian world.
Lora Turner, 44, plans to retire from the U.S. Navy in early December. After 26 years as an oceanographer, she'd like to work for a company with positions in environmental science. The Mill Creek resident said looking for a new job is stressful but she's trying to stay positive.
"If you want to work, you can work," Turner said. "It's scary but I am looking forward to staring something new."

Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - With every passing day, it seems instant gratification is becoming more of a human necessity rather than a luxury.
From smart phones that possess the ability to consume someone's life to digesting news on Twitter to being able to watch any TV show or movie with a few mouse clicks, patiently waiting for things is so 2012.
Which, believe it or not, should excite you as a fantasy baseball manager. Especially a fantasy baseball manager in June -- a month when a plethora of top prospects are called up by Major League Baseball teams hoping to either boost or reinforce their current rosters.
What's particularly exciting about call-ups now as opposed to a few years ago, however, is that young players consistently display a propensity for making an immediate impact.
Look, for example, at those tabbed by the Baseball Writers' Association of America in their annual Rookie of the Year voting. In the past 10 seasons, there have been a total of 61 players on those lists who finished their rookie season with a WAR (wins above replacement) of 3.0 or greater. In the decade before that (1994-2004), that number drops to 45 players. The names alone of prospects who have been called up or entered the league and immediately risen to fantasy stardom are staggering, including Jose Abreu, Yoenis Cespedes, Yu Darvish, Jose Fernandez, Matt Harvey, Bryce Harper, Yasiel Puig, Masahiro Tanaka, Mike Trout and Stephen Strasburg.
An interesting article by Fangraphs.com's Jeff Zimmerman published in 2013 posits the idea that the best statistical season for a hitter coming at 27 years old is a myth. Instead, Zimmerman argues, a player reaches his peak almost immediately after reaching the majors and their performance (which Zimmerman judged on a curve using wRC+) declines steadily thereafter. With that in mind, and with Super Two arbitration deadlines soon to be a non-factor for teams deciding whether to promote their prospects, here's a look at some players who could make some serious noise before season's end.
Keep in mind that this list is comprised of players currently in the minor leagues, so guys like Oscar Taveras, George Springer, Jon Singleton, Marcus Stroman and Eddie Butler won't be included, but should absolutely be owned.
1) Gregory Polanco (OF, Pittsburgh) -- Chances are if you're in a keeper league, someone owns Polanco already. But now's the time to scoop him up in all formats. The multi-talented 22-year-old outfielder is arguably having the best season of any minor leaguer this year, batting .347/.405/.540 with a .945 OPS, seven home runs, 15 steals and 49 RBI in 62 games. He rose quickly through the ranks of Pittsburgh's farm system, playing at all three levels in 2013 before settling in at Triple-A Indianapolis this year. While Polanco's BABIP is unsustainable (.399), his impressive walk rate (8.8 percent) and decent strikeout rate (16.1 percent) suggest that his plate discipline is good enough for the lefty to continue to have massive success at the major league level.
2) Andrew Heaney (SP, Miami) -- If there's one team that has proven it's not afraid to give its young players a chance, it's the Marlins. Between Jose Fernandez's surprising call-up last season and Christian Yelich cementing himself atop the lineup, and even Marcell Ozuna's sneaky solid numbers, the "Fish" give their kids a chance. Heaney very likely will be next. The 6-foot-2 southpaw turned in another stellar outing Saturday at Triple-A New Orleans, throwing six innings of one-run ball while striking out nine and walking one. In four starts for the Zephyrs, he's posted a 2.74 ERA, 2.10 FIP and a whopping 10.57 K/9 ratio. Overall, between Double-A and Triple-A this year, his WHIP is 1.13 and he's struck out 79 batters in 76 2/3 innings while walking 15.
3) Joc Pederson (OF, Lps Angeles Dodgers) -- As if the Dodgers needed things to be more complicated for their already-crowded outfield, they have a former 11th-round pick absolutely obliterating the ball at Triple-A Albuquerque. The 22-year-old is batting .332/.440/.623 with a 1.063 OPS in 59 games. He has 16 home runs, 13 stolen bases and nearly every Dodgers fan clamoring for his promotion. While L.A.'s outfield situation is messy (Carl Crawford, Andre Ethier, Matt Kemp, Yasiel Puig) things can change in an instant and the Dodgers haven't been a club to shy away from blockbuster moves in recent years. Whether they trade Pederson as a blue-chipper in a summer blockbuster or move one of their current outfielders to make room for the smooth-swinging lefty, he's someone you'll want to stash for when he finally gets the call.
4) Jonathan Gray (SP, Colorado) -- The Rockies already have recalled the other part of their top-prospect pitching duo in Eddie Butler and Gray should be next. The domineering 6-4 right-hander is a power-pitcher with pinpoint command who's been solid in 11 appearances for Double-A Tulsa. He's thrown 59 innings and posted a 3.97 ERA and 1.10 WHIP while striking out 7.5 batters per nine innings. There have been rumblings that given Colorado closer LaTroy Hawkins' struggles, Gray could be given a look at the back end of the bullpen if he's called up. Either way -- whether the Rockies choose to use Gray as a starter or reliever -- he's going to have fantasy value this season and has a very high ceiling for the foreseeable future.
5) Jimmy Nelson (SP, Milwaukee) -- When Yovani Gallardo was out with a sprained ankle late last month, the Brewers called Nelson up for a spot start that went well. He tossed 5 2/3 scoreless innings while allowing five hits, striking out six and walking three. Nelson pitched well at the big-league level during his "cup of coffee" last season, too, and has done nothing but dominate at Triple-A Nashville in 2014. In 10 starts, the massive right-hander (6-6, 245 pounds) boasts a 1.51 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 9.5 K/9. While the Brewers' rotation appears firm, there's always a chance things could change if Nelson continues to pitch this way (in his most recent start, he struck out 11 in 7 2/3 innings) or he could always be called up to help in the bullpen.
6) Arismendy Alcantara (2B, Chicago Cubs) -- Not the Cubs' prospect you expected to see here, right? Naturally, we're all aware of the sheer awesomeness of both Javier Baez (eight home runs, 10 doubles) and Kris Bryant (21 home runs, 18 doubles), but they both are likely a bit further away from the bigs that Alcantara, who could make his debut later this month. The struggling Cubs don't have much to lose at this point and desperately need help at second base. Alcantara, a 22-year-old switch hitter, doesn't walk much, but he is putting together a nice season at Triple-A Iowa. He homered twice Friday and now has eight on the season to go along with 14 doubles and an .826 OPS.
7) Matt Wisler (SP, San Diego) -- The 21-year-old Wisler's stock was admittedly higher before his promotion to Triple-A seven starts ago, but it's a given that pitchers in the PCL are going to struggle a bit, so it's not time to panic about his numbers at El Paso just yet (7.11 ERA, 1.70 WHIP). After all, he was excellent in Double-A through six starts (2.10 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, 10.5 K/9) and his stuff (a fastball that sits 93-95 mph and a biting slider) is very polished. If he does get a chance to break into the Padres' rotation (whether through injury or the removal of someone like Tim Stauffer or Eric Stults). the 6-foot-3 right-hander has a very good chance to make an immediate impact and sustain his success.
8) Maikel Franco (3B, Philadelphia) -- Like Wisler, Franco is another player who's struggling in the minors but might be given a shot by the big club anyway. The Phillies' season is heading nowhere fast and with Cody Asche on the disabled list and no other real options at third base, Franco is a clear target for promotion. Last year between Double-A and Triple-A, the 21-year-old righty mashed 31 home runs, knocked in 103 and batted .320/.356/.569. While he hasn't pieced things together at Lehigh Valley this year (.219, five home runs, .625 OPS), he's still shown good plate discipline (40 strikeouts and 19 walks in 232 at-bats) and there's little reason the Phillies shouldn't give him a chance at some point soon.

Springbok prop Beast Mtawarira is recovering from a successful medical procedure and should be available to both the Sharks and Boks in 2013.
Mtawarira withdrew from the Test against Ireland on 10 November as a precautionary measure, after he had a recurrence of mild heart palpitations that morning.
The Springbok prop had an irregular heart rhythm, according to team doctor Craig Roberts. He underwent a minor procedure in Cape Town last Wednesday to correct this and was released from hospital on Friday.
The big man confirmed that the procedure was successful, and that while he won't be back for the Boks' final Test against England, he will be available for the 2013 season.
'I am well, so there is really no need to worry,' said Mtawarira in a statement. 'It's only a minor procedure and sometimes it needs to be done more than once to clear the palpitations. This is something that has happened to me before and that can be treated. Also, it's not career-threatening.
'Sometimes I get quite excited before a game and that is probably what triggered it. I am at peace with everything because I know God has a great plan for my life. I have prayed about it with my family and trust the Lord for a full recovery.
'It's sad to miss out on the last two Tests of the season, but I've enjoyed a good year and am looking forward to 2013 very much.
'There are obviously positives to come out of this as well, one of which is that my little girl was very happy to have me home a bit earlier than expected.'

Club competitions
National team competitions
12-23, 22-18, 24-21, 20-19
TURNING POINT: With 5:43 left on the clock in the final frame and the scores tied at 62, Chester Simmons sunk a three-pointer from the corner and then chased down Yannick Bokolo, stole the ball and run up the court again to finish with a lay-up and give Krasnye Krylia a five-point cushion within the space of fifteen seconds.
GAME HERO: While Lamayn Wilson came from the bench to make a fantastic contribution to Samara's cause in the clutch, it's hard to look past Omar Thomas' 16 points on 5-for-6 two-point shooting and 2-for-3 from three-point range in the first quarter, when the BCM defence kept Simmons under lock and key.
STATS DON'T LIE: Samara had six steals and 10 assists and scored 18 of their 41 first-half points in transition, while BCM had eight turnovers already in the second quarter and were forced to play catch-up for the rest of game.
Krasnye Krylia made use of their extended scoring options on Friday in Izmir and defeated BCM Gravelines Dunkerque 81-78 to take their unbeaten EuroChallenge run to 15 games and reach the big final of the competition.
Right from tip-off, it became clear that the French league leaders' primary mission in the first EuroChallenge semi-final was to limit the Russian side's two main offensive weapons, Chester Simmons (15.4 ppg going into the Final Four) and Andre Smith (14.2 ppg).
BCM coach Christian Monschau started with Yannick Bokolo on Simmons, and then Julius Johnson and Abdoulaye Mbaye took turns in making difficult the life of Samara's top scorer on the court.
It worked wonders, as Simmons finished the first half with four points on a poor 2-for-7 from the field, but Samara did not really take long or needed much searching to find reliable alternatives.
Point guard Aaron Miles, who directed his team much better even than his game-high seven assists suggest, kept feeding Omar Thomas and a lay-up from the winger capped a 7-0 Krasnye Krylia run who gave them their first double-digit lead, 20-10, and forced Monschau to call a time-out 2:18 from the end of the first quarter.
Thomas had already picked up 16 points by the time he sat on the bench for a breather midway through the second quarter and the two sides went to the locker-rooms with Samara's lead pretty much intact, 41-34 at half-time.
BCM came back from the interval determined to turn the game around and an Mbaye three-pointer 3:13 from the end of the third quarter reduced the gap to just three points, 53-50, for the first time in 19 minutes of action and forced Krasnye Krylia head coach Sergey Bazarevich to call a time-out.
The French side then came within one point but with 2:33 left on the clock in the period Lamayn Wilson gave Krasnye Krylia some much-needed breathing space with a three-pointer from the left wing to take their lead back to four, 56-52.
The French side did not give up and tied the game at 62 for the first time in the encounter on two Juan Edwards free throws 7:32 from the final buzzer, but Simmons with his key double play restored the difference to five points and Samara held out until the end, as BCM never managed to come within less than three points again.
Thomas was not as accurate in the second half as he was during the first quarter, but still led all scorers with 28 points while Simmons finished with 16 and Wilson chipped in with 15 from the bench.
Dwight Buycks had 21 points for BCM, Kennedy Winston finished with 18 points and Ludovic Vaty with 14 and five rebounds in losing efforts.
Krasnye Krylia head coach Sergey Bazarevich:"We scored a good number of points from fast breaks, which helped us to win. BCM have good individual players and in the fourth quarter there was a moment when I thought they'd make everything. It was important for us to get the stops and not to break."
Krasnye Krylia player Andre Smith:"In the crucial moments of the game we stayed together as a team and were able to finish the plays and get the stops together. From a winning-the-championship poin-of-vie, it makes no difference who we play on Sunday. Personally, I would like to see Pinar Karsiyaka in the final."
Gravelines Dunkerque head coach Christian Monschau:"In the first quarter, our game was not there. We felt the pressure of playing in the semi-final. In the last quarter, we missed some shots to take the lead; at the same time Samara hit big shots. We will try to be focused on Sunday and give everything - there's still a game to be played."
Gravelines Dunkerque player Ludovic Vaty:"We lost too many balls in the first half, which cost us the game in the end against a very good team."

When Shakira H. decided to bring home a feline companion from the ASPCA Adoption Center, she thought it was best to take her time. Having recently lost her beloved Tabby, Brooklyn, whom she adopted from the ASPCA, Shakira wanted to spend some quality time with the adoptable cats to find the perfect fit.
"The ASPCA representatives were helpful and patient," Shakira says. "I went to the Adoption Center for a whole week just visiting and trying to make the right decision for this lifelong commitment. The staff worked with me, listened and understood what I was looking for in a cat."
After plenty of time and thought, Shakira ended up with not one but two kittens. She named them Gusto and Niu Niu.
"Gusto and Niu Niu were the ideal pair," Shakira says. "They were exactly what I wanted: a young, bonded pair. They were adorable, playful and friendly."
It's safe to say that these lively kittens are keeping Shakira on her toes.
"Gusto, Niu Niu and I are still adjusting," she says. "They are very playful and curious, as any 6-month-old kittens would be. They are also fast learners. Their antics keep me going and put a smile on my face."
Thank you, dear Shakira, for caring so very much to adopt these 2 precious little angels, Gusto and Niu Niu. Which is which? Is the beautiful baby white kittie sleeping? They put a warm smile on my face, too. I am so sorry that you lost your beloved Brooklyn, but your new kittens will bring you twice the love and beauty and fun. Blessings to all 3 of you! My adored, shelter-adopted cats and I celebrate you.
May God bless you and keep your kitties safe and healthy.
What a great gesture - not one but two lives saved and trustfully, geared for a wonderful life w/you and w/each other - trust the number of adopters like you increases exponentially!
My 2 adopted kitties send their best wishes to your pair and send best wishes and a uge Thank You to you. We recently adopted a bonded pair that even the folks at the shelter never thought they would be able to adopt them out. The female was quite anti social and the male was becoming that way. My wife and I had lost our 2 cats last year and wanted to try to fill our broken hearts. When we heard the story about these two 2 year olds thathad gone from one foster family to another and never took, we decided to give them a shot. Well, here were are 6 months later and we just finalized their adoption. With lots of patience with the female, Lady not only changed but now loves to spend her evenings watching T.V. on either of out laps.or playing fetch with me and her ball. The male, Pride, took over the house the minute he got here and loves to play with any string or rope he can find. They are are joy and have brought so much love to us.
Congrats on your new family members. Your life long commitment will bring you the most devoted love one can ever want. Good luck to you.
I think adopting sibling cats is the best for everybody.
Help keep animals from being posted on Craigs list.
This story breaks my heart.
Best decision for all three. Beautiful cats and a great Mom make for a wonderful family. Enjoy your time together.
I think it was so sweet of those two kitties to decide to rescue you! They are the best! Hugz!!!! You make me wnat to go home and hug my cat right now!

As part of President Obama's all-out, all-of-the-above energy strategy, the Energy Department today released a renewable energy resource assessment detailing the potential to develop electric power generation at existing dams across the United States that aren't currently equipped to produce power. The report estimates that without building a single new dam, these available hydropower resources, if fully developed, could provide an electrical generating capacity of more than 12 gigawatts (GW), equivalent to roughly 15% of current U.S. hydropower capacity. These findings demonstrate one of the ways the nation can diversify its energy portfolio while achieving the Administration's goal of generating 80% of our nation's electricity from clean resources by 2035.
"As part of the Obama Administration's all-of-the-above approach to American energy, expanding the deployment of America's hydropower resources can help to diversify our energy mix, create jobs, and reduce carbon pollution nationwide," said U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu. "Together with new advances and innovations in hydropower technologies, the resource assessment released today can help use our existing infrastructure to further develop the country's significant waterway resources."
The report, titled An Assessment of Energy Potential at Non-Powered Dams in the United States, analyzes more than 54,000 specific sites that could be developed to generate power. The results indicate that, if fully developed, the nation's non-powered dams could provide enough energy to power over four million households.
The greatest hydropower resource potential was found at lock and dam facilities on the Ohio, Mississippi, Alabama, and Arkansas Rivers—facilities owned by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. The top ten sites alone have the potential to provide approximately 3 GW of generating capacity, while the top 100 sites together could potentially provide 8 GW of clean, reliable energy. Many of these dams could also likely be converted to power-generating facilities with minimal impact to critical species, habitats, parks or wilderness areas.
The resource assessment also finds many potential hydropower sites are located in areas of the country with fewer wind or solar resources, giving nearby communities another way to secure renewable energy for local families and businesses. And because hydropower provides reliable baseload power day and night, developing existing dams could also provide flexibility and diversity to the electric grid and allow utilities to integrate other renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power.
This report, funded by the Energy Department's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, will be a valuable tool for state and local officials, as well as industry stakeholders. It was produced by the Energy Department's Oak Ridge National Laboratory in partnership with Idaho National Laboratory.

Best Uses
Comments about Hammer Nutrition Hammer Perpetuem 32 Serving:
Perpetuem is an interesting product. It fits the niche between a standard carbohydrate drink and a protein recovery drink.
I've used it on many longer rides. It does tend to keep you feeling "topped off" longer than Heed or Cytomax. It tastes light and dissolves easily.
Forget using the stuff in hot weather, though. Nauseating. It tastes chalky and the consistency can change from liquid to lumpy -- gets a weird milky taste. Supposedly the new formulation helps this. While it is somewhat better, this is definitely not a hot weather drink.

45 Years Ago: The Beatles Begin Recording 'The White Album'
In May of 1968 – nearly a year after the release of the triumphant 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' and a few months after the major movie blunder 'Magical Mystery Tour' – the Beatles began working on their next album. They had been writing songs (including 'Dear Prudence,' 'Mother Nature's Son' and 'Sexy Sadie') during their trip to India earlier in the year. In May, they began to lay down demo versions at George Harrison's bungalow in Esher, England.
Astounded by the amount of material they already had (23 tunes were finished at Harrison's place), the Beatles decided that a single LP wouldn't be enough to contain the sheer volume of music they had written. So the band prepared to make its first double album.
Recording for 'The Beatles' (which would come to be known as 'The White Album') began at 2:30 p.m. on May 30, 1968, at EMI Studios on Abbey Road in London. All members were present for the first day, as was John Lennon's new girlfriend Yoko Ono, who would become a fixture at Beatles sessions for the rest of the band's run.
Within a few months, the band would become more fractured, with members working in separate studios on their own songs, culminating in Ringo Starr quitting the band — although he returned after a couple of weeks and after much begging from his bandmates. But at the first session, all four Beatles worked together on Lennon's 'Revolution 1' (simply called 'Revolution' at the time). He had started writing the song — a response to the antiwar protests that raged on in America and the recent assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. — in India and continued working on it after returning,
The quartet laid down 16 takes of the song, although the last one was markedly different, stretched out to more than 10 minutes and ending with six minutes of feedback, screaming and moaning, some of it from Ono. 'The White Album''s infamous 'Revolution 9' sound collage came from the improvisational coda.
The first part of the song would undergo its own changes. In order to get Harrison and Paul McCartney's approval to release 'Revolution' as a single, Lennon had the band record a faster version of 'Revolution,' which was released as the B side to 'Hey Jude' more than four months before 'The White Album' came out.
The original, more deliberate version was renamed 'Revolution 1' and kicked off side four of 'The Beatles' (which also included 'Revolution 9' but not the single version of the song). The band's most varied collection of music was released as a double LP on Nov. 22, 1968, in the U.K. and three days later in the U.S.

Perfect programs. Love them.
The programs were amazing. Can't wait to use them for our wedding.
Wedding Programs for a Southern Spring Wedding - 2014
I used Magnet Street for my wedding programs and they turned out wonderful! I received many comments from wedding guests about the great quality and printing of the program. I was able to customize the colors to fit my wedding colors and it came out great. The color quality was vibrant and that is always important when using pinks and purples. I also customized the images on the program and they printed out very clear. Thank you Magnet Street for helping make another aspect of my wedding day, easy and breezy. I would definite recommend using Magnet Street!
Excellent quality
I loved the design tool and how you could see it in 3-D. Our items arrived earlier than expected and they are gorgeous!!! We are so excited with them.
Beautiful is an understatment.
We are so impress with the quality of our programs!!!! Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful!!!! Can't wait until our guests arrived and receive the programs!!!!! The printing and design was exactly what we wanted. They were delivered very fast after placing the order! Love it and definitely will be sending others to your site!!!!
We selected not to use a picture on the front and they still turned out amazing. The design staff are great about special requests and can adjust things before the final proof, or after the 'final' proof if necessary. We selected champagne, ivory, and burgandy with black writing and it was great. The quality of all the magnetstreet products is amazing. I've used 3 other paper product companies and these were the best quality by far!

Click here for Region Codes for those businesses that operate on Indian Reservations
Taxable activity occurring on an Indian Reservation must be reported separately. The following Tribal region codes should be used in place of county codes for all business activity occurring on an Arizona Indian Reservation. Activity will continue to be reported by TPT class.
For example, if your business has activity on the Gila River reservation in Maricopa County, and it has taxable retail transactions, that activity should be listed on the TPT-1 return in MAH 017 instead of MAR 017. All transactions not located on an Arizona Indian Reservation should continue to be filed under the specific county code

Speed Truth Shoesby Sang - verified purchaser
first of all the sizing runs a little large. so if you are a 9.5 get a size 9 the sole is VERY hard, so don't expect to walk with bended toes easily. the Velcro strap and the leather strap itself feels too short meaning it wont reach all the way when i have the shoe on so there are some Velcro left that are visible because they were unused. The tongue of the shoe is not soft enough and adds a little discomfort. However i feel very safe in these shoes.

Tailbacks cleared after delays on the A590 in Cumbria
Last updated at 16:46, Wednesday, 23 January 2013
TAILBACKS on the A590 in South Cumbria have now been cleared.
Cumbria police reported the tailbacks on the on A590 Eastbound between the A5092 Greenodd junction and B5278 to Haverthwaite.
The heavy traffic and delays were first reported to the police just before noon and were cleared at around 4.30pm.
Motorists told the Evening Mail that the tailbacks had stretched from Haverthwaite to Arrad Foot and believed they were caused by work being carried out on the road.

Have your say
Yes, roadworks were the cause for the 40 minute delay (not 20 mins as the traffic websites stated) Also, it would have been helpful to add 'Roadworks' to their little maps so that drivers were aware.

Comments about Mavic Ex 823 Disc 26" Rim:
Buy the insert tool Mavic part # M40630! If you get the PARK SW 12, get the Mavic tool as well. The Park tool works well for final torquing, but cannot be spun between spokes. There are 72 inserts in a 36 spoke build and 18 threads on each insert. If you are using the Park tool, it must be removed and replaced over 4000 times for one build.
Comments about Mavic Ex 823 Disc 26" Rim:
The UST valve stems that are provided with these rims are too short. I was able to get about one thread of engagement with the nut that secures them to the rim. There wasn't enough length of the stem protruding past the nut for me to use either my Park floor pump or my hand pump on the stems. I had to use a standard Presta/Schrader adapter instead. The Schrader adapters included with the valve stems did not work with my air compressor because the tip of the valve stem was too far down in the hole to touch the center of air nozzle on my compressor. I ended up buying a set of Stan's NoTubes 44mm valves.
The spoke length calculator on Mavic's website told me to use the wrong length of spoke. I built these rims up with 36h Hope Evo Pro II hubs, and the calculator came up with 254mm. This length was about 2mm too short for use with standard 12mm nipples, but they recommend using 16mm nipples, which add about 2.3mm to the overall length of the spoke. I ended up using 250mm spokes, which are a full 4mm shorter than what the spoke length calculator said.
Do use 16mm nipples, as the spoke wrench will not be able to fully engage the square drive section of 12mm nipples, preventing you from being able to tighten the spokes adequately.
The rims come with the UST spoke eyelets, but you will have to buy the M40630 eyelet tool separately.
These rims are very nice and rigid, and I like not having to use a tubeless rim strip.
Best Uses
Comments about Mavic Ex 823 Disc 26" Rim:
I am a fairly hard rider and did quite a bit a research before I built my wheels, and this was the rim to buy. I have had the wheels for about 6 months now and haven't had to retrue them (done my fair share of hard landings too) worth it if you want something durable.
Comments about Mavic Ex 823 Disc 26" Rim:
Even though these can be a bit heavy for trail riding, these rims are bomb-proof! I've used these for years at the bike park and they have stayed perfectly true. I'm not a heavy dude but I can be a hack! I also love tubeless so here you don't have to mess with strips or conversion kits - beautiful.

Comments about Mavic Ex 823 Disc 26" Rim:
Great rim. It's super strong and not that heavy. Running tubeless is easy with these rims
Best Uses
Comments about Mavic Ex 823 Disc 26" Rim:
I've been running these rims on my DH bike for a couple years and they are still straight. I've taken some pretty hard landings in the past and overall I'm not a very smooth rider but these rims seem to take a beating and stay straight and without any flat spots.
These are a very good investment if you are looking for a bombproof wheel that you can abuse.
Overall very satisfied with this product and I would recommend to people. Can't beat Mavic quality!!
Comments about Mavic Ex 823 Disc 26" Rim:
I'm a tubeless fan and finding a UST rim for DH is limited. I've been running these rims for years. They are expensive, heavy and sometimes burp at the park but they are strong enough to last me a couple seasons - and they're tubeless!

Wall decals offer trendy, temporary transformation
Walltat.com's "Kids on Swings" decal is a popular choice for parents decorating nurseries. Parents like the flexibility of wall decals that can be easily changed as kids grow.
Wall decals like "Branches and Blossoms" can easily be installed and then removed without damaging walls or paint.
A 3-D wall decal decorates this sitting room.
Diane Wright / Wall Words
Wall Word's "Love Birds" decorate a stairway. The homeowner painted the dark walls bright green and added the decal to liven the largest wall seen as you enter or leave the house.
There are words and sayings. And some companies make custom decals.
"Having a tree in your bathroom, or a park bench and bicycle on a wall behind a sofa, or a bridge going to nowhere brings a smile to everyone who enters the room," Blake said.
The decals make it easy to personalize a room, which is popular right now, she said. "You can easily find something to reference your personality, your job or your lifestyle," she said.
Price varies by size, but a decal about 25 by 50 inches would usually cost less than $100.
Barbara Irvine of Syracuse, N.Y., chose a verse from one her favorite hymns to decorate the space above her kitchen sink. The words, "Come ye thankful people, come," prompt her to count her blessings, she said.
She installed them herself by slowly rubbing them off their paper backing with a tool similar to a tongue depressor.
"They come with very good instructions," said Irvine, who ordered the custom phrase from Wall Words in Santa Ana, Calif. "It's fairly easy. You do want to get them level."
The words are designed to easily go on and off, said Carrol Caldwell, owner of Wall Words. She advises using painter's tape to attach the paper backing to the wall before firmly rubbing the decal onto the wall.
"It brings back how important words are in your life," she said. "It's way to add something that is very meaningful and helps you through the day."
And the decals peel right off when you're done using them, she said.
Easy removal makes decals especially attractive to renters, students in dorms and parents decorating nurseries, said Jordan Guide, chief executive and founder of Walltat.com.
They can add impact to a small room without taking up space, added interior designer Linda Hunt of Creatively Yours Custom in Richmond, Va. She often puts them in powder rooms to make the space feel larger.
She has had clients' monograms made and installed in their master bath. She also uses decals in kitchens and foyers.
Once, she used them to create text for a "memory wall" that a client had in honor of her deceased brother.
"The possibilities of what you can put together are endless," Hunt said.

What is wrong with you guys? CNET was my go-to site to download software.
Now when I try to download an application, you are adding on other software I don't want.
The other day I downloaded a program and 'BLEKKO' search bar was installed on my computer even though I checked 'no' when asked if I wanted it.
From now on I will go directly to the publisher to download any software I need.
Shame on you!

After thousands of years of debate on the subject, I am proud to announce that I, Josh, officially have irrefutable, empirical, scientifically verifiable PROOF that there is, in fact, no god.
Before my beloved Washington Redskins began the football season back in September, I was, at that time, an agnostic who leaned more toward atheism than theism. Then the Redskins won 6 of their first 8 games, and I started to believe that there may actually be a god. Then they lost 4 of their next 5 games, and I slipped back into my former agnosticism.
But then, today, between 12pm and 3pm CST, all was made clear. The Redskins, who had started the season with a 6-2 record and had playoff aspirations, dropped to 7-7 by losing to the Cincinnati Bengals, one of the worst teams in the NFL!!! And to add insult to injury, the Dallas Cowboys (my sworn enemies whom I love to hate) won their game today, moving two games ahead of the Skins in the playoff race. Today's events have given my agnosticism a violent shove into militant atheism. There is no god. Case closed. Have a nice day.

Jetty's Island's sandy beaches beckon
Ian Terry / The Herald
Lacey Stickles, 10, rides the Jetty Island ferry back to Everett on Saturday after exploring the island with friends on its opening day.
Ian Terry / The Herald
Jon Deoliveira (right) leans back after hitting the ball to a teammate during a volleyball game on Jetty Island, which opened for the summer season on Saturday.
Kneeling in the sand, Tom Smith practices his sand-sculpting skills Saturday on Jetty Island for the park�s upcoming Sand Castle Contest.
That wasn't any deterrent to locals who came over with picnics and sand pails. By noon, the ferry was disgorging ever thicker crowds onto Everett's urban beach along Possession Sound.
Families staked out their piece of sand for the day, volleyball games sprang up and kids splashed and ran through the shallows.
Among them were Jamie and Jack Bazile, ages 8 and 11, of Snohomish, who were busy burying their friend Kaden Stickels, 9, of Marysville, up to his neck in the sand.
"We look forward to coming over here every year," said Halleh Stickels, Kaden's mother.
"It's our place to relax and unwind and get away from crazy life," she said.
Jetty Island wasn't always an oasis of calm in the city. It was the result of a failed attempt to create a deep-water port at the mouth of the Snohomish River.
Henry Hewitt and the Rucker brothers dredged a channel along the Everett waterfront in 1890s, dumping the spoils along a breakwater running parallel to the shore.
Nature had other plans, said Barry Martin, the city's recreation director.
"They couldn't keep the river from breaking through the breakwater and going out through the north end," Martin said.
After various plans for industrial development were considered and rejected, the city started recreational programs on the two mile-long island in 1985, and has run Jetty Island Days every year since, at the same time maintaining the island as a natural area.
The city's daily programs on the island include nature walks and birdwatching, puppet shows for the kids and a variety of art programs.
The annual Pirate's Treasure Hunt and sand castle contest will be held Saturday, July 12, pushed back a week because of the Independence Day holiday.
Away from the crowds, visitor Lori Wentz from Marysville took the early ferry over and hiked the perimeter of the island.
Wentz often comes to the island for the Fresh Paint festival and the Float Find hunt for glass sea floats, put on by the Schack Art Center on Aug. 16 this year.
"It's a mad stampede out here" when that happens, Wentz said.
On Saturday, Wentz enjoyed her hike and birdwatching, except perhaps when she tried to cross the mud flat in the lagoon, exposed at low tide. She ended up having to extract one of her shoes from the muck.
"I should have known better than to walk through where I thought, 'Maybe it's not too deep,'?" she said.
Near the southern tip of the island, with the USS Nimitz and Naval Station Everett emerging into view through the fog, nature's drama unfolds as a flock of Caspian terns takes wing to chase off an interloping gull, their hoarse alerts drowning out the sound of the surf. A large brown raptor, possibly a marsh hawk, watched from a rock as the terns wheeled overhead.
On the return ferry, Elaine Soriano points out her house on a bluff in north Everett, where she has a clear view of the island.
"The last thing I see each night is the end of the jetty and the sunset," she said.
Even so, Saturday was the first time Soriano, 81, had been to the island in 50 years. The last time she was there her daughter, Julie Soriano-Brunhaver, of Bellingham, burned her face on a flaming marshmallow.
"I wanted a better memory," Soriano-Brunhaver said, laughing with her mother on the ferry. "I need to get here more often."

How to visit
Jetty Island is open daily now through Sept. 1. The ferry leaves from the 10th Street ferry dock starting at 10 a.m. every day, with the final sailing at 5:30 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The last ferry leaves the island at 6 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 7 p.m. Sunday.
Reservations are strongly encouraged: call 425-257-8304 at least 48 hours in advance to reserve. Non-Everett residents need a party of at least 8 to reserve a ferry seat.

If you experience a new, persistent pain in your leg after standing or sitting you should see you doctor, the Mayo Clinic advises, as it could signal a problem in your veins.
According to the hospital, leg pain can have many roots, but pain after sitting or standing could signal a buildup of fluid in the veins in your leg, or venous congestion.
According to the Mayo Clinic, venous congestion happens when the valves in your leg veins don't keep blood moving well from your legs to your heart. Instead, the blood pools in your legs and feet.
People who suffer from venous congestion typically describe the pain in their legs as a burning or cramping sensation. This usually occurs in the calf.

After moving back in to my apartment from Christmas Break, I saw that the guys who had repainted the walls in my room left a lot of dust, dirt, and even paint streaks on the windows in my room. No matter how much I Windexed them, the paint wouldn't come off completely. Pretty soon my arms got tired and I gave up.
How much I wish I had had a Winbot window cleaning robot. A wha-?! Just another really cool gadget find from CES 2012 my friends. This cute little guy will rove your windows, diligently cleaning them to shining perfection.
1 half of the robot works on one side of the window while his counterpart half dutifully mirrors his movements and cleans the other side of the glass. Heck, I want one of these just to watch it move around, clean windows seems like just a side-benefit to me.
Here, catch the robot in action. This video was taken at CES 2012 in Las Vegas.
What do you think of this little dude? You know you want one! Sound off below!
