test block
This past Saturday, 200 people gathered at O'Shaughnessy Hall at St. Mary-of-the-Woods College to reflect on the powerful message of Carl Wilkens, to dine with friends new and old, and to celebrate Eva Kor's 80th birthday.
Eva Kor gets many, many emails and requests for interviews. But there are only 24 hours in a day (and she works for about 20 of them), so we are starting an initiative called "Eva Chats," to debut soon!
You can "tweet" your questions to Eva and she will answer them live on the free CANDLES Ustream channel! So stay tuned to hear when the first "Eva Chats" session will be.
Kudos to our Indiana State University student worker Brett Taylor for the idea!
We were thrilled to learn that Trip Advisor ranks CANDLES the #1 attraction in Terre Haute!! Be sure to read what visitors had to say.

The shatter-resistant, polycarbonate lenses are polarized to block 99% of reflected glare. The sturdy nylon frame ensures years of use. Gray or Brown. 6" L x 6" W x 1 3/4" H. (2 1/2 oz.)

Would not hesitate buying a 2nd pair
By J.B.
from Las Vegas Nv.
The glasses are great,especially while driving in our brutally harsh Las Vegas Sun. I have been diagnosed with Macular Degeneration. These glasses are an immense help for a 76 year young grandpa. Does H & S make or know where to purchase a hard case? Would not hesitate to purchase another pair. Thank you, Joe Simon
By Taters
from Vineland nj
I like the way things look, looking through them. But they are to small and they let light in from above. So the jury is still out on weather or not I will keep them
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The best over glasses sunglasses I have.
By Mighty Mouse

I use these sunglasses for driving, fishing and playing golf. They are secure and comfortable. Most of all I have no eyestrain which is unusual for my sensitive eyes. I have tried several other similar sunglasses and was always disappointed. Colors are true.
Nice looking sunglasses

It's all really happening for Wieland
In his last minor-league start, Joe Wieland lasted only two innings. The right-handed pitcher came off the mound at Tucson, home of the Padres' AAA affiliate, and manager Terry Kennedy told him he was done for the night.
Wieland cried.
A crier, Wieland is not. Bringing to mind an old Simon & Garfunkel song about thick-skinned invulnerability, Wieland's been so rock-solid "since birth" that his parents indeed came to think of him as "an island." But something Kennedy said almost buckled Wieland's knees, hitting so deep in his soul that every bit of adrenaline and emotion came rushing to the surface.
"TK told me, "We've got to save your bullets for Dodger Stadium,' and right then I knew what it meant," says Wieland. "I sat down in the dugout, grabbed a towel and stuffed my face in the towel. I tried to get my bearings. Is this really happening?"
It was really happening. It's still happening.
Wieland's due to make his fourth major league start on Monday, and not even the 0-3 record he'll take into it should diminish his stature as a prized pitcher, especially when you consider that the last rookie to lose his first three big-league starts with San Diego was Jake Peavy. That Wieland's given up just three runs over his last 12 innings of work at Petco Park and gotten a total of one run of support …. well, welcome to Dago, kid.
The sense here is that Wieland will stick, even though you like your rookies to come with more than his mere 7 2/3 innings of AAA time. (Peavy, incidentally, leapfrogged Triple-A entirely.) To be sure, that first afternoon at Dodger Stadium might've given Wieland months' worth of excruciating major-league experience, as will be cruelly rehashed a few paragraphs from now.
A couple nights before his last start against the Nationals, though, Wieland recalled being smitten by another rather mighty realization. How it struck him says a lot about his frame of mind, which is to say, professional. Big league.
"We were watching the Dodgers on TV," he said. "I thought, "I was just there a week ago.' The umpire behind the plate, I saw him in spring. It hit me: This is really what I do."
The hope, though, is that he never lets go of the memory of how he got his first chance to do it. How two innings against the Sacramento RiverCats led to Kennedy verbally handing Wieland his first ticket to The Show.
"The initial feeling was, speechlessness, just the thought that I've finally accomplished my dream," said Wieland. "I'd imagined it before, getting the call, but honestly, that type of emotion was unlike anything I'd imagined. To feel something that powerful – extremely powerful -- it really made me tear up."
He called home to Reno, sharing the emotional news with his father (Dave) while "hearing my mother (Judi) screaming in the background." The Wielands all had four days to prepare for Joe's major league debut in Chavez Ravine, where Dave had gone to games as a kid growing up in Los Angeles. Admittedly, their son was bedazzled by the sheer size and majesty of Dodger Stadium, and the home team made sure his first inning in the majors would never be forgotten.

Despite the heavy lift among evangelical leaders hoping to convince their flocks that Newt Gingrich's adultery-based serial divorces aren't misaligned with Family Values and that Newt has earned forgiveness for his bad behavior, GOP primary voters actually have a long modern tradition of nominating wife-abandoners for the Presidency.
As GOP voters weigh the stylistic differences between Mitt and Newt, it's important for them to understand their own party's recent tradition, as well. Mitt Romney would break the party's pattern of presidential picks' — those not named Bush, at least — multiple marriages. The two Presidents Bush aside, all GOP nominees since 1980 had previously shed a spouse.
1976: The GOP experimented with putting divorce on the ticket; Appointed President Gerald Ford replaced Appointed Vice President Nelson Rockefeller (of whom, more later) with Kansas Senator Bob Dole as his Veep running mate. Four years previously, Dole had disposed of his first wife, the occupational therapist who nursed him back to health in a military hospital after his severe WW2 wounds, during the Senate recess in the summer of 1972. He arrived back in Washington a single man.
By 1975, Senator Dole had acquired a Watergate apartment that came fully equipped, including new wife Elizabeth Dole, whom he'd met spring 1972. Dole's personal history wasn't viewed as contributory to Ford's loss, although his discussion of "Democrat Wars" — one of which he served and was wounded in — lent him the reputation, never shed, of a partisan bomb-thrower.
Practically unknown at the time, but an intriguing footnote, was that Gerald Ford had delayed his marriage to wife Betty when he first sought his Congressional seat because he didn't know how voters would react to his marrying a divorced ex-dancer. That year, both GOP ticket-holders' families had divorce in their past, one recent and one distant.
1980: Ronald Reagan, he of the dysfunctional family values, had been previously married to actress Jane Wyman before he locked in the special skills of the ambitious Nancy Davis.
Reagan's tax-cut religion, grandfatherly befuddlement and nasty hippie-bashing charmed the GOP base, who have subsequently elevated him to undeserved small-government tax-cutter sainthood. He is now the icon of the party who wouldn't ever nominate him. But Ronald Reagan also set the trend of nominees with colorful marital histories, embraced by the base.
1984: Reagan Redux
1988: GHWBush, whose wife Barbara Pierce tolerated peccadilloes but wasn't about to be replaced, lending as she did a certain presidential sheen, albeit drenched in melancholia, to his ambitions.
1992: Bush Redux
1996: Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole topped the ticket. See 1976, above.
2000: Little Bush becomes the country's first SCOTUS-selected occupant of the Oval Office.
2004: Shrub Redux
2008: Vietnam War Hero John McCain defeats marital-fidelity exemplars Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee for the GOP's nomination. McCain had returned from his Hanoi war prison only to quickly dispose of his disfigured accident-victim first wife, who in his unplanned absence had raised their children, been through painful physical rehab, gained some weight and lost six inches in height after painful operations to repair her legs.
His history was spotlighted every time chic beer heiress and Wife Number Two Cindy Hensley appeared with him, dripping with money that financed his rise in GOP circles. The GOP base mumbled about having a RINO atop the ticket, but ignored his adulterous marital history as unimportant and, critically, forgiven in some unexplained way.
Let's reflect, though, shall we? GOP voters now find themselves almost 48 years from the GOP nominating convention at the San Francisco Cow Palace. There, wealthy divorce' and Governor of New York Nelson Rockefeller, having lost the presidential nomination to Barry Goldwater, insisted on his right to speak to the delegates who then booed and hissed (and, by some reports, spat at) him for 16 minutes. Rockefeller was reviled by the Goldwater Family Values Party because of his divorce from the mother of his five children and quick remarriage to a just-divorced staffer named, unhappily, "Happy." The Rockefellers put the spotlight on the two-suddenly-broken-homes issue by giving birth shortly before the hotly contested California primary, which Rockefeller narrowly lost.
Additionally, Rocky had been publicly denounced by Connecticut Senator Prescott Bush, Hitler-backer and self-appointed marital moral arbiter, father and grandfather of the later Presidents Bush.
That was the last time the re-marital history of a potential nominee hurt his chances, though. It was, coincidentally, the last public paroxysm the GOP displayed at its nominating convention. I remember it, and the reaction across America to it. Rockefeller's treatment at the hands of his party's delegates was an ugly episode. It has never been equaled.
And, apparently, the Family Values that animated it have been turned upside down.
Now, divorce is a requirement to be nominated for president by the GOP — if your last name isn't Bush. I wonder: can Mitt Romney successfully buck his party's penchant for men who've disposed of their wives? Or will the GOP go with what they know, and double-down (if you'll pardon the expression) with the twice-divorced former Speaker?
Don't be fooled by anguished Villager pundits and cable news talking heads who despair over whether the GOP base will accept Newt Gingrich's "colorful marital history." Far from a disqualification, it's a prerequisite.
It's not a bug; it's a feature.

Coffin for a Shabty
The Egyptians manufactured funerary figurines, originally called shabties, as early as Dynasty 12 (1932–1759 B.C.E.). The earliest shabties are inscribed with either the deceased's name (see nos. 1 and 2) or a simple form of Chapter 6 of the Book of the Dead. The rarity and high quality of the early shabties suggest that they were costly items produced for privileged persons.
Later, Chapter 6 began appearing more frequently on funerary figurines. The text mentions that they do agricultural tasks for the dead person: irrigating the fields, cultivating crops, and clearing away sand that blew in from the nearby desert.
As substitutes for the deceased, these figurines were sometimes given their own sarcophagi (see no. 6). To emphasize the agricultural function of the figurines, hoes and grain baskets were added to them (no. 8).
Wood (nos. 9–11), stone (nos. 12–14, 16), faience (no. 17), metal, and other materials were used beginning in Dynasty 18. By the end of the New Kingdom, statuettes for a single person were often mold-made by the hundreds and even thousands. Faience became the medium of choice, first in blue and later in light green or light blue (nos. 17, 20, 21).

Propane Bottle CoversSince almost every camper and RV uses propane for several things, it is inevitable that you will have a tank on your unit somewhere. As such, you want to keep that tank in the best condition possible. The debris of the road, the weather, and other factors can damage or dirty your tank as you travel.
That is why Camping World carries a number of propane tank covers to keep the tank safe and clean. RV tank covers may be nothing more than a simple sack-like contrivance. Others offer a touch of heating to keep the propane pressure from dropping in cold weather. A heavy duty cover offers polyethylene protection and a bit of streamlining.

The orange SPOT-SPITTER spray stick with flow rate of 3.6 to 4.8 GPH from from the John Deere Water Product line is one of the most cost-effective, versatile solutions for your nursery watering application. Low cost and ease of installation have made this product line a favorite among nurseries and growers worldwide. With a wide range of flow rates and wetting patterns, and using specially sized 1/8" micro tubing, the right spray stick to fit your nursery application is easy to choose. Spray sticks come color-coded with 90, 160, and 360-degree spray patterns, and the Drip Store includes all the components needed for installation.
The SPOT-SPITTER spray stick controls water flow at the emitter stick, where it matters most. Other mini-sprayer sticks may require tedious, labor-intensive modifications of tubing and lengths to develop the flow characteristics desired. You can install the SPOT-SPITTER in seconds, selecting the proper flow rate and pattern and using the correct 1/8" micro tubing with the specified ID. Unlike other mini-sprayer sticks which tend to deform or break at the spray tip, the SPOT-SPITTER is made from premium UV-resistant resins, which resist tip damage and provide years of trouble-free operation in both indoor and outdoor applications.
Pot or box size suggestions:
• 90 Degree Spray Stick, Flow Rate 2.4 -3.6 GPH Color Gray: for pots or boxes 6" to 8" in diameter
• 90 Degree Spray Stick, Flow Rate 6.2 -9.1 GPH Color Brown: for pots or boxes 6" to 10" in diameter
• 160 Degree Spray Stick, Flow Rate 3.6-4.8 GPH Color Orange: for pots or boxes 6" to 8" in diameter
• 160 Degree Spray Stick, Flow Rate 4.8-6.3 GPH Color Lt Green: for pots or boxes 6" to 10" in diameter
• 160 Degree Spray Stick, Flow Rate 9.6-13.2 GPH Color Green: for pots or boxes 8" to 10" in diameter
• 160 Degree Spray Stick, Flow Rate 10.2-17.4 GPH Color Black: for pots or boxes 24" to 36" in diameter
• 360 Degree Spray Stick, Flow Rate 9.0-12.6 GPH Color Blue: for pots or boxes 36" to 48" in diameter
Note: the flow rate is achieved at a pressure rating of 15 to 25 PSI and using the 1/8" micro tubing with 0.125 ID x .0.187 OD.
To install the SPOT-SPITTER use the suggested micro tubing with the correct ID and OD. To replace the spray stick, just pull it out of the micro tubing, and replace with a new head of the same color. Make sure to flush the line before inserting the new spray stick. No tool or glue is required.
To install the SPOT-SPITTER into the drip tubing lateral, first select the flow rate and the spray stick degree of coverage, then insert the spray stick into the 1/8" micro tubing. Next, punch a hole into the side of the drip tubing using a 4 mm punch, and then insert the micro tubing into the drip tubing. No barb connector or other parts are needed.

Energy Efficient Lighting System: $500
Energy Efficient HVAC System: $500
Energy Star Manufactured Home sold by the taxpayer: $400
Energy Star Home: $800
30% of installed cost
In April 2008, Kentucky enacted legislation establishing a 30% state income tax credit for taxpayers that install certain energy efficiency measures on commercial property. The 30% credit (up to $500) is allowable against individual, corporate income or limited liability income taxes for any of the following equipment:
- Energy-Efficient Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) or Hot Water System
- Interior Lighting Systems
The total tax credit may not exceed $1,000 for any combination of HVAC, hot water, and lighting systems. It should be noted that there is a separate tax credit (up to $400) available for taxpayers who sell an Energy Star manufactured home, and $800 for an Energy Star home; however if a taxpayer takes that tax credit he/she is not eligible for the other efficiency tax credits described in this summary.
The legislation defines an energy efficient lighting system as an interior lighting system that meets the maximum reduction in lighting power density requirements for the federal energy efficient commercial building deduction under 26 U.S.C. sec. 179D, as in effect December 31, 2007; and it defines an energy-efficient heating, cooling, ventilation, or hot water system as a system that meets the requirements for the federal energy-efficient commercial building deduction under 26 U.S.C. sec. 179D, as in effect December 31, 2007.
See [http://revenue.ky.gov/nr/rdonlyres/e2dafc0b-4f18-4d76-91f8-c6766a3843ee/... guidance] issued by the Kentucky Department of Revenue (DOR) for additional information.
Kentucky also allows 30% [http://www.dsireusa.org/incentives/incentive.cfm?Incentive_Code=KY29F&re... personal tax credit] for energy efficiency improvements made to the taxpayer's principal residence.
To claim the tax credit, use [http://revenue.ky.gov/NR/rdonlyres/5BE0A4F2-6847-4B9E-85F0-80D5D1F29BB4/... Form 5695-K - Kentucky Energy Efficiency Products Tax Credit - Form 41A720-S7] available on the Kentucky Department of Revenue website. Also available on the Kentucky DOR website is the 8908-K Kentucky Energy Star (Homes and Manufactured Homes) Tax Credit, [http://revenue.ky.gov/NR/rdonlyres/2F15413B-A6FF-47AA-B4EF-9464E9C926E8/... for the Energy Star Home tax credit.]
These credits may be applied during taxable years 2009-2015.

The poo was a bit much but it's the sort of thing I'd expect of a kid's Lil' Sam's age. As for Cheery she seemed to have a large role in the book without actually receiving any development. Seems to me anybody could have played her role without it making any difference at all. I'd have liked some Salacia but as with Dorfl there's precedent for a character looking like they might become important and then never being heard from again.

Dr. Brown's Natural Flow® Wide Neck 4 oz Polypropylene Baby Bottle BPA Free Description
Reduces Colic, Spit-Up, Burping & Gas
Helps Preserve Vitamins C, A & E + Lipids
- BPA Free • Free of Bisphenol-A
Vacuum-Free Feeding • Like Breastfeeding
Simply the Best Baby Bottle®
2 - 4 oz/120 ml Wide-Neck baby bottles
2 - Level-One silicone nipples
2 - Two-piece patented internal vents
1 - Cleaning brush
New Research
A recent university study set out to measure nutrient levels in baby bottle breastmilk and formula. It was determined that Dr. Brown's™ fully-vented bottles help preserve levels of important nutrients. The Dr. Brown's vent system reduces air bubble oxidation of the milk, which is very fragile and susceptible to nutrient loss.
Health Tip: Vitamins C, A and E, and lipids, or "good fats," are naturally occurring in mom's breastmilk and are critical for health and growth in infancy.
Patented Internal Vent System
Air enters the bottle collar and routes directly through the internal vent system.
The air channels through the vent tube, bypassing the milk, to the end of the bottle.
The vent prevents aeration of the milk, vacuum pressure, and nipple collapse.
Baby feeds comfortably while the milk flows freely, like breastfeeding.
Reduces Colic, Spit-Up, Burping & Gas
The patented vent system eliminates air and vacuum to allow baby to feed comfortably and reduce many common feeding problems
Helps Preserve Vitamins C, A & E + Lipids
The vent system is proven to reduce air bubble oxidation of the milk to help preserve vitamins and lipids, key nutrients to baby's health.
Vacuum-Free Feeding
Like Breastfeeding
The fully vented bottle design provides vacuum-free feeding, closest to breastfeeding, which can also help reduce build up of fluid in baby's ear.

In perusing last week's headlines (and a few stragglers from the week prior), I realized I was drawn to numerous articles pertaining to entrepreneurial support beyond that in the United States. For those who don't know, my work at Kauffman allows me to travel a bit--about 100,000 miles a year to be exact.
Chasing an entrepreneurial dream can be an all-consuming effort. Particularly in those crucial early days of a startup, founders seem to eat, sleep and breathe their businesses. This naturally occurring tunnel vision has a purpose, of course, allowing entrepreneurs to give their business babies the time and attention they need to mature. But this heads-down mode is not without its drawbacks, one of which is neglecting to stay up on current events--particularly the happenings that can impact the entrepreneurs who are inadvertently paying no attention to them.
A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post about President Obama's State of the Union Speech. I observed that entrepreneurial vision was lacking and I wish he had used the occasion to revive bipartisan support for an entrepreneurial agenda that could have given both parties things to support.
As a father of three, I vividly remember those chilly, early-summer mornings of packing bags, loading up the car, and waving a sad goodbye as my children began their latest adventure at the summer camp of choosing. And there were plenty of those mornings over the course of 18 years. There was volleyball camp, and Science Olympiad clinics, and lacrosse camp.
I recently returned from participating in the 2nd Annual Rome Forum of the Harambe Entrepreneurial Alliance, hosted by the Vatican's Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace.
You don't need to spend countless hours in a classroom, or have an MBA to become a successful entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs often don't have the time or patience to sit through a semester long class or six-week course in order to retrieve the answer to a question they have now--today. They need help quickly and efficiently. And this is where our idea for Founders School started.
When considering the optimal number of founders for any new entrepreneurial adventure, the calculus extends well beyond simple formulas seemingly supported by observations of startup cohorts within specific industries. Famous technology twosomes that come to mind include David Packard and William Hewlett of Hewlett-Packard, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak of Apple, Paul Allen and Bill Gates of Microsoft, Larry Page and Sergey Brin of Google. In these examples, it is widely observed that these buddy teams complemented each other well in the early formative years of their companies.
I recently attended the 39th Annual Induction Ceremony for the National Inventors Hall of Fame. As it has been in years past, it was awe-inspiring and of significant historical interest.
