This invention relates generally to systems for intravenously administering medicine to a patient and more particularly to a system for reconstituting a drug from a dried state to a liquid state while the drug is still within the conventional drug-containing vial and thereafter administering the reconstituted drug by means of a primary intravenous administration set into which the drug vial is serially connected by means of an adaptor.
Conventional medical treatment frequently requires the intravenous administration of fluids and medicated solutions. Such fluids can include saline and dextrose solutions as well as other solutions to correct imbalances in body chemistry and medication solutions to treat disease. Many such solutions are frequently available in commercial aseptic solution containers that are adapted to be punctured at one end and to be hung by the other end so that their liquid contents may be removed and infused in a vein of a patient by means of primary intravenous administration set, commonly referred to as an I.V. set. In effecting such treatment, the closure of the solution container is punctured by a spike on the upper end of the delivery tube or conduit of the I.V. set so as to conduct the liquid material from the solution container to a hypodermic needle or butterfly situated for injection into a vein of the patient.
Such I.V. sets generally also include a transparent drip chamber which includes the conduit-forming spike at the upper end which is intended to perforate and enter the solution container. The transparent drip chamber is generally employed as a means to measure the administration rate of the fluid to the patient, the rate typically being measured in drops per minute. A transparent flexible plastic tube is generally attached to the lower end of the drip chamber and a regulating clamp is provided as means to control the flow of liquid through the passageway of the plastic tube. One or more Y injection sites can be provided to attach other medicament dispensers. The I.V. set may also include a pump to control the rate of delivery of fluid to the patient as well as a particle filter and air eliminator to insure that no air or small particles of medicine or foreign matter enter into the vein of the patient. Generally the use of conventional I.V. sets requires aseptic techniques and the I.V. set is protected against contamination during handling at the point of attachments by appropriate protective end caps and the like.
Certain of the medicines which are desirably administered to a patient by an intravenous administration set are manufactured and packaged in dry form due principally to their instability in liquid solution. The drug in dry form is typically commercially delivered in a standard glass vial containing up to two grams of the medication. The glass vial is closed with a rubber stopper and crimped aluminum seal, the aluminum seal usually having a flip off plastic cover intended to keep the top of the rubber stopper clean and to provide a means of tamper evidence. The glass vial itself is generally sized to accommodate about 10 to 15 cubic centimeters.
To reconstitute the dried drug compound, the general practice in the prior art was to remove the plastic seal exposing the rubber stopper and, after wiping the stopper with an antiseptic wipe, adding five to ten cc's of sterile water diluent by inserting the needle of a syringe through the rubber stopper and depositing the contents of the syringe into the vial. One would then shake the vial to make sure the drug compound within the vial was fully dissolved or suspended in the diluent to form a reconstituted drug solution. This reconstituted solution was then withdrawn from the vial by means of a syringe, the needle of which was again inserted through the rubber stopper. The reconstituted solution was then typically injected into a plastic or glass container which had been previously filled with 50 or 100 cc's of a compatible I.V. diluent such as sterile water with a small percentage of dextrose of sodium chloride added. This container containing the fully diluted drug was then attached to the I.V. administration set with a separate drip chamber usually at a Y site and hung slightly above the primary I.V. source container.
If the reconstituted drug was not intended for immediate use, it was generally stored under a refrigerated condition until such time as the patient was ready for its administration. Once a drug compound has been reconstituted, however, a degradation of the compound begins. Refrigeration will slow this process but it is generally accepted practice to administer the reconstituted drug within a few hours, or at most one or two days so as to prevent any substantial degradation of the drug compound. Due to many influences such as patient reactions to the drug, patient recoveries, and the like, substantial percentages of the reconstitued drugs are not used within the acceptable time limits and must be discarded. Some of the drug compound itself is lost during the reconstitution steps as it is difficult to remove all of the reconstituted solution from the original drug containing vial by means of the syringe and needle. For this reason, the general commercial practice mandated by the United States Pharmacopeia is to over fill the vials to provide for vial and syringe protection, commonly amounting to approximately a 7% overfill. Other losses of the drug occur as the fully reconstituted container empties into the Y site through a drip chamber, some of the drug remains undelivered in the drip chamber. All of these losses tend to increase the cost of drugs to the ultimate purchaser, whether that be the patient or an insurance company.
Systems have been developed for the administration of medicines which are typically packaged in standard small glass vials which include a valve adaptor to a primary intravenous administration set which adaptor serially connects the drug containing vial directly to the primary delivery tube of the I.V. set in such a fashion as to permit administration of the contents of the vial to the patient. One such system is disclosed in application Ser. No. 512,268 filed July 5, 1983. The valve adaptor includes means operable to a first and a second position providing for the dilution of the contents of the vial in the first position with liquid from the primary I.V. solution container, and after the drug is resuspended within the vial, the valve means permits delivery of the diluted contents of the vial in the second position directly to the primary I.V. passageway. This use of the conventional small drug containing vial as the mixing and delivery chamber after connection with the primary I.V. set eliminates any separate reconstitution in a hospital pharmacy, and the consequent need for refrigeration, eliminates the need for separate delivery containers and secondary I.V. sets, and reduces storage space requirements. Such systems have been found to deliver all of the drug in the vial, thereby substantially eliminating the need for the 7% over fill typically practiced in the industry.
The valve adaptor employed in the previously described system requires some manipulation by the nurse or other person administering the drug. This manipulation is subject to error. The valve adaptor generally includes a number of parts which must be movable with respect to each other to achieve the valving action. These parts must be manufactured to very close tolerances to achieve a satisfactorily low risk of drug contamination and minimization of exposure of hospital personnel to the drug compound. Consequently, the cost of manufacture of the valve adaptor tends to be undesirably high.
The present invention provides a system for the administration of medicines through a serial connection with the primary delivery tube of an I.V. set which avoids the use of hand-manipulated valves. A partial vacuum is provided in the drug-containing vial which acts to draw liquid from the I.V. solution container at the time the vial is attached to the serial connector. As flow of I.V. solution through the administration set is re-established, the drug vial is continuously flushed with the I.V. solution thus delivering the drug to the patient. The serial connector is preferably constructed to include a means for releasably closing the delivery tube to permit ease of introduction of the drug vial into the primary delivery tube without modification of the drip rate which can be preset with a separate conventional regulating clamp. The serial connector is also preferably provided with a short cap through which the I.V. solution can flow prior to the attachment of the drug-containing vial. The connector can also include means for restricting fluid flow so as to prevent fluid from being drawn from the patient. The serial connector is configured with offset inlet and outlet lines such that the drug-containing vial is held in an inverted position by the weight of the depending primary delivery tube.
Additional features and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the following detailed description of prefered embodiments exemplifying the best mode of carrying out the invention as presently preceived. The detailed description particularly refers to the accompanying figures in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a primary I.V. administration set including a serial connector of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a detail view partially in section showing the addition of a drug containing vial to the serial connector.
FIG. 3 is a detail view from the right side of FIG. 2 partially in section showing the serial connector without a vial.
The system 10 of this invention is shown in FIGS. 1 through 3 to include a container 11 containing a source of liquid for delivery to a patient 12. The source of liquid 11 can be any conventionally employed source such as the type manufactured by Travenol Laboratories, Inc., of Deerfield, Ill., 60015, and sold under the registered trademark VIAFLEX as an I.V. fluid container. Glass bottles can also serve as a fluid reservoir. Generally such containers are transparent and include means 13 for suspending the container above the patient. A drip chamber 14 generally included with a conventional I.V. set includes a spike 16 adapted to perforate and enter closure 15 on the lower end of container 11. Prior to its insertion into the closure 15, the spike 16 is protected by cover so as to prevent contamination of the spike and conduit within the spike. The drip chamber 14 is formed from a flexible transparent material, typically plastic to permit visual monitoring of the rate at which liquid is being administered to the patient. The lower end 18 of the drip chamber is connected to a conduit 19 typically formed of a transparent flexible plastic tube intended to carry the liquid from the drip chamber 14 to the patient. One or more Y injection sites 20 can be provided for the connection of additional sources of fluids and medicines to the system. The Y injection sites provide a sterile access to the passageway within the tubing 19. Each Y injection site 20 is closed by a standard rubber stopper adapted to receive a hypodermic needle or the like in a sterile fashion. A luer needle adaptor 21 is provided at the lower end of the I.V. system. The adaptor permits the connection of the lower end of the I.V. tubing to a hypodermic needle inserted in a vein of the patient 12. The lower end of the needle adaptor 21 is also typically protected by a cover until the system is ready for use. A clamp 23 is provided at some point along the tubing 19 for regulating the flow through the tubing. The clamp 23 includes a serrated roller 24 which engages the outer surface of the flexible plastic tube 19 to pinch the tube to a desired degree thereby imposing a restriction upon the size of the passageway within the tubing and hence controlling the rate at which liquid from the container 12 passes through the tubing 19. All of the components previously mentioned are conventionally available and are distributed by IVAC Corporation of San Diego, Calif. 92121.
In accordance with the present invention, a serial connector 26 is included in the previously described portions of the primary I.V. administration set. The serial connector 26 includes a frame 27 having an upper channel 28 and a lower channel 29, each of which are adapted to receive a segment of the delivery tube 19. The upper end 30 of upper channel 28 is laterally offset from the lower end 31 of lower channel 29. This lateral offset coupled with the weight of the primary tube 19 and other apparatus positioned below the serial connector 26 imparts a torque on the frame 27 as will be later discussed.
The delivery tube 19 can be considered to be divided into an upper portion 32 which is received in the upper channel 28 and a middle portion 33 which is received in the lower channel 29. The two portions 32 and 33 of the primary delivery tube 19 are held in an adjacent and substantially parallel relationship and terminate at penetrating means 34 which is provided for penetrating an end of a drug-containing vial 35. The penetrating means 34 generally comprises a central spike 36 including two channels 37 and 38 providing pathways to the interior of the vial. The two sections 32 and 33 of the primary delivery tube 19 are connected to the two pathways 37 and 38 of the penetrating means. The penetrating means also includes a peripheral, upstanding flange 39 adapted to receive and hold the outer lip 40 of the penetrable end of the drug-containing vial 35. The previously mentioned torque provided by the offset of the upper end 30 from the lower end 31 frame together with the depending weight of the primary I.V. set below the serial connector 26 acts to maintain the drug-containing vial 35 in an inverted position when connected to the penetrating means 34.
The serial connector also includes a clamping means 41 to clamp both tubes 32, and 33, illustrated best in FIG. 3. The clamping means is in part provided by a ridge or offset 42 in the wall of frame 27. The ridge or offset 42 is situated opposite a movable element 43 which also includes a ridge or offset 44. The movable element 43 is pivotally supported to the frame by a pivot means 45 shown in FIG. 2 to comprise a pair of outwardly-extending stub axles 46 integrally formed with the frame 27 being received within slots or dimples 47 on the inner surface of movable element 43. As a force is imparted in the direction F, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the movable member 43 pivots about the pivot means 45 to reduce the distance between protrusions 42 and 44, thereby pinching or clamping the adjacent portions 32 and 33 of the primary tube 19 which prevents the flow of fluid through the tubes and, hence, through the penetrating means 34. The application of force F causes the displacement of the upper end 48 of the clamping means so as to engage a serrated portion 49 of the frame which acts to lock the movable portion 43 in a fixed, clamped position with respect to the frame 27. The movable portion and, hence, the clamping function can be released by upwardly displacing the serrated portion 49 of the frame.
As shown in FIG. 3, the serial connector 26 is originally supplied with a cap 50 which includes a small space 51 sufficient to permit the flow of the fluid from pathway 37 to pathway 38 even in the absence of a vial 35. The cap 50 includes ridges or other means 52 for hermetically sealing the cap to the spike 36 of the penetrating means 34. In use, the serial connector 26 would preferably be supplied in a sterile condition with the cap 50 in place as illustrated in FIG. 3.
The serial connector can also include a check valve 54 such as that illustrated in FIG. 2. Alternatively, a check valve such as that illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 4,141,379 can be employed. The purpose of the check valve is to insure that the fluid flow is downward through the system, as illustrated in the Figs., from the source of fluid 11 to the patient 21 and that no fluid is drawn upward through the system from the portion of the I.V. situated below the serial connector 26.
The serial connector can also include an air and particle filtering means 55. Alternatively, a conventional particle/air filter such as model 2C0251 available from Travenol Laboratories can be included. In either event, the filter means 55 is intended to prevent air or particles of medicine or foreign matter from entering the lower portion of the I.V. set. The filter means 55 also functions to prevent or restrict reverse flow through the I.V. set thus rendering the check valve 54 optional.
The serial connector means 26 illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 3, has particular utility when combined with a vial 35 containing a medicine under a partial vacuum, that is, under less than atmospheric pressure. To employ the illustrated connector in such a combination, the I.V. administration set illustrated in FIG. 1 is purged of air and connected to the patient 12 and the delivery rate of the fluid from source 11 is established by appropriate manipulation of the serrated roller 24 of regulating clamp 23. The clamping means 41 is then engaged so as to clamp the adjacent sections 32 and 33 of the delivery tube 19. The cap 50 is then removed from the spike 36 of the penetrating means 34. A vial containing medicine under less than atmospheric pressure is situated at the top of the penetrating means and forced downwardly thereover until it is engaged by the retaining ring 39 as shown in FIG. 2. This causes the penetrating spike 36 to enter into the interior of the drug-containing vial 35 to provide the two pathways 37 and 38 with access to the interior of the vial 35.
The clamping means 41 is then released from its clamped position. As it is released, the partial vacuum within the vial 35 causes fluid to be quickly drawn down through the upper tubular member 32 into the vial to mix with the drug contained therein. The check valve 54 acts to prevent any significant portion of fluid from being drawn upwardly through the tubing portion 43. The amount of fluid drawn within the drug-containing vial 35 can be determined in part by the extent to which the pressure within the vial has been reduced. Early experiments have shown that approximately a one-half atmosphere pressure is sufficient to impel enough fluid into the vial to permit the full reconstitution or solution of the drug within the vial 35.
As soon as the pressure within drug vial 35 achieves atmospheric levels, the drip rate from container 11 down through the primary delivery tube 19 is re-established at the rate initially set since no significant change in pathway has resulted from the replacement of cap 50 with drug-containing vial 35. The continued delivery of the liquid from container 11 acts to dilute the medicine within vial 35 and deliver the diluted medicine to the patient through the primary tubing 19, needle adaptor 21 and associated hypodermic needle, etc. As the delivery of the contents of container 11 continues, the drug within the vial 35 is substantially totally delivered to the patient and thereafter the vial 35 may be viewed as merely a portion of the delivery tubing 19.
The drug-containing vials can easily be prepared so as to contain less than atmospheric pressure by subjecting a conventional drug-containing vial to a vacuum condition. A particularly useful method of achieving this end can be achieved by modifying only slightly the conventional freeze-drying packaging process. As in the conventional practice, a solution of medicine or drug is placed within the vial. The vial is then frozen in a freeze dryer under a reduced atmospheric pressure so as to draw the undesired water from the drug. The conventional process is modified by merely sealing the vial while still within the freeze dryer at a less than atmospheric pressure. Of course, some drugs are not manufactured under freeze-drying conditions and thus other methods must be used in order to achieve a partially-evacuated drug-containing vial. Alternative methods can include the use of mechanical pumps or the like.
One particularly advantageous method for achieving a reduced absolute pressure within the vial involves the use of functionally inert gases such as helium, carbon dioxide, Freons, or the like, which have low concentrations in the atmosphere and which are capable of penetrating the material forming the stopper of the vial, typically rubber. In accordance with this method, after the medicine or drug is placed within the vial, the remaining volume of the vial is flooded with the selective gas and the vial stopper promptly inserted. The vial is then subjected to conventional atmospheric conditions during which time the inert gas selectively migrates through the material forming the stopper and diffuses into the atmosphere due to the large partial pressure differential existing between the inside and outside of the vial. Very little reverse transportation of gas from the atmosphere occurs thus resulting in a lowering in the absolute pressure within the vial. After the inside pressure has been decreased to the desired amount, the vial can be overcapped with a gas impermeable layer such as a metal foil to help maintain the pressure differential.
Although the invention has been described in detail with reference to the illustrated preferred embodiment, other variations and modifications may exist within the scope and spirit of the invention as described and as defined in the following claims:

Responding to testimony by mayors before the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee in Trenton, Sen. Paul Sarlo (D-Bergen), the panel's chairman, said it has become clear that Gov. Chris Christie's tax "tool kit" for holding down municipal and county government and school district spending is missing two key elements: cost certainty on health care and pensions and state aid.
Frenchtown Mayor Ron Sworen, an officer with the state League of Municipalities agreed.
"The simple fact is that nothing in the tool kit we're now preparing can help municipalities and school districts more than the state finally taking control over the costs it passes on," Sarlo said. "Talk to any local official and you'll hear the same story: The tool kit is nice, but nothing would be more valuable than the state finally stepping up and doing its part to helping property taxpayers.''The Budget Committee has begun reviewing version of 32 bills proposed by Christie and 34 by Legislative Democrats that propose ways to hold down local government and school spending.
Sarlo said that while many of the so-called tool kit items may improve municipal efficiency, few would deliver any real, noticeable and sustainable savings to property taxpayers.
The senator said state aid to both schools and municipalities have been slashed over recent years, even while the pension and health care bills the state hands to local officials have increased. He said that even with the exemption of health benefit costs from the cap, the 12-percent average increase being given to towns that participate in the State Health Benefits Program means many towns will be hard-pressed to keep their property tax increases at or below 2 percent.
"If the state is truly concerned about controlling property taxes, then it must put a cap on the bills it hands towns and schools for pensions and health care," Sarlo said. "At the same time, Trenton needs to begin to restore the hundreds of millions in state aid it has taken away. And from what we heard today, these twin goals would have support from both Democrats and Republicans."
"No elected official ever wants to raise taxes," Sworen, a League of Municipalities official, said. "But the state sets tax policy for all New Jersey governments. And only state action can provide true local property tax reform. Local officials need real solutions to real cost drivers, whether they are inside or outside any arbitrary cap. They need to know that the State will honor its promise of property tax relief revenue replacement funding. Only real reforms can provide immediate and sustainable property tax relief. Only the state can deliver real reforms."
East Windsor Mayor Janice Mironov, also a League officials, urged the committee members to focus on issues like the state's retention of Energy Tax property tax relief funding, arbitration reforms, further civil service reforms and cap considerations regarding the reserve for uncollected taxes and the burden of assessment appeals.
"The governor was right when he said, 'New caps without the toolkit are unworkable,''' Mironov said. "Having reached agreement on unworkable new caps, the Trenton establishment needs to get serious about the struggle against oppressive, regressive property taxes. Local officials need to see action on the toolkit management reforms and on mandates relief initiatives. Local taxpayers need assurances that the Trenton establishment will end the diversion of vital municipal revenue replacement funding, such as the Energy Tax, which was never intended for state use.
"Real reform takes more than caps and revenue replacement funding cuts, neither of which do anything to address New Jersey's property tax burden, which is worst in the nation,'' Mironov added. "The caps will only slow the growth of the burden. They will not reduce it. And the cuts are no help at all."
The committee will hold additional hearings on Aug. 12 and 16 with a Senate voting session set for Aug. 23.

It makes thousands of different products at its Singapore factory, which supplies customers in Singapore and throughout the region.

Identifying and tracking products was a challenge until an RFID system featurin
Major Oilfield Operator Improves Reliability, Profitability and Safety Compliance with Extreme RFID Asset Tracking Solution
A leading Chinese oil & gas exploration and production company recently faced serious challenges that are shared by other industry companies worldwide: because of tougher new regulation and the need to improve efficiency it needed to better track and manage the assets at its oil fields. New Chinese laws that went into effect in 2013 required the company to inspect and test its assets more frequently and to document the results, but these basic tasks were challenging. The company has tens of thou

Three downs and out: Memphis Tigers
Tigers will step up if ...
1. New coordinator Tim Walton's defense brings back the unit's ''swagger'' -- as head coach Tommy West terms it -- and allows Memphis to compete with East Carolina and UCF in the C-USA East.
2. The league's top receiving corps -- led by juniors Duke Calhoun and Carlos Singleton and seniors Earnest Williams, Steven Black and Maurice Jones -- takes another leap in production, improving on last year's totals: 225 catches, 3,141 yards, 22 touchdowns.
3. The 1-2 punch of running backs Curtis Steele and Charlie Jones -- and the running ability of quarterback Arkelon Hall -- give the Tigers their best rushing attack since the departure of DeAngelo Williams.
Tigers will step down if ...
1. The quarterbacks -- two of the top three have not taken a Division 1-A snap -- struggle to run the spread offense and take advantage of a strong group of receivers.
2. Injuries affect a key position, much like last year at linebacker where starters Winston Bowens and Greg Jackson succumbed to knee problems.
3. The secondary, which struggled a year ago, fails to improve. The unit was exposed in the 44-27 New Orleans Bowl loss to Florida Atlantic, and the U of M pass defense ranked ninth in the 12-team league.

i liked it! especially since it was short enough to NOT crash my computer!
plus i really enjoyed the simplistic animation
Perfect as is for me.
Stumbled across this on youtube a few minutes ago and just had to see it again. I've read many reviews commenting on the roughness of the animation and illustration, and while I can sympathize with these reviewers and believe that their critiques are legitimate, I cannot help but see it as perfect as is. I remember watching this for the very first time 4 years ago and just sitting there in complete stunned silence afterwards.
It's truly a masterfully crafted experience, and while I realize that mine is a heavily biased opinion, I sincerely believe that altering it would only serve to lessen its emotional impact. That's not to say that it -couldn't- be improved from a strictly technical standpoint. It's just that, for me at least, penndragon is the kind of experience that's -so- incredibly moving that you fall for its strengths as well as its "weaknesses." It's a bit like significant others--sure, her rack could always be a bit bigger, but it's the total package that you fell for. Obviously this analogy will only ring true for some x)
Kudos to you spacejelly. If anyone knows what happened to the creator, let me know will ya?
5 odda 5, 10 odda 10! I like it.
What would Space Jelly say if somebody asked him to copy this Flash and use the Numa song instead? Somebody did that for the last few minutes of the Yu-Yu Hakusho series finale. I don't know who thought it up, but I think he may have been from the Czech Republic. NG Flash artists from the Czech Republic are STILL trying to leave their mark in the Experimental genre. If I find one to be too weird to be created by a Czech, I'll suggest it for the Experimental genre right away. This Flash is excellent, and it is one of the best Flashes of all time. Space Jelly was a genius, and he always will be. RhydonStalfos says Penndragon!
an intense experience
One of the best animated experiences on the web, the music, the style, the energy, the roughness, it all fits together so perfectly.
A pity its the last that this author did.
OMFG Does this have a sequal?!
That was... beyond my meager vocabulary... Cool. There needs to be a way to rate a 10++++++++++++++ fpor like 6000 more pluses... Anyvay...
Beyond epic-cool. Fantastic work.

Seanik is one of the best shampoos I've ever tried. It lathers like crazy, just as good as liquid shampoo. I don't mind the scent and I don't really know how to describe the scent. I'm not sure about the volumizing part but my hair is already naturally volumized. the seaweed does help condition a bit but I still need to follow up with conditioner. One thing about the product I don't like is the packaging. It doesn't come with any packaging so you have to use a little Tupperware or buy the tin which I don't suggest getting. The tin is very hard to open, especially if your hands are wet and slippery. You should always let this product dry completely or you'll end up with a blue pile of mush and most of it will have melted away, resulting in wasted product.

Seanik is one of the best shampoos I've ever used, hands down. I'm a bit of a Lush fanatic and I LOVE that they offer solid shampoos. Seanik, being a solid shampoo, lasts FOREVER, lathers very easily, smells fresh and "clean," and makes my dry & damaged hair very soft and easy to manage. I haven't really noticed a benefit to my hair volume-wise, but that's not really why I use it. Also, the fact that is is almost all natural is a huge plus. It does cost about $13 a bar, so it's a little on the pricey side... but it's definitely worth it.

I had really high hopes for this product.. I'm on a constant search for good volume shampoos and was really excited to see such great reviews on a natural volume shampoo, but I was severely let down by this product. I've been using it for a week and can't get myself to use it again. Extremely disappointed.
- dried hair and scalp out like crazy
- NO volume for my limp, fine hair
- left my hair feeling filmy after styling
- Expensive
- smells great

Yet another lush product I bought online without ever smelling before, and not being able to use because of the STRONG smell. It smells like chemical floor cleaner! I thought it'd smell slightly salty, ocean-y and fresh but nope not even close. I don't think I have a very sensitive nose but this gave me an instant headache. I can't imagine how strong it smells IN the shower?! Yuck. Smell in person before buying.

I really like Seanik. I get a very creamy, thick lather from it and the scent is really nice. A bit like Rub Rub Rub, but without the household cleaning product vibe. It's too bad the scent doesn't last in the hair. It cleanses my hair very well and leaves it soft and voluminous. It's a bit like a solid form of Big shampoo.
The only downside to this shampoo is that it leaves my scalp and the skin on my forehead quite dry and flaky.
I did say that I would buy it again, but first I think I will try another one of Lush's shampoo bars.

Favorite shampoo in the world! My hair is always so soft and CLEAN after use! The fragrance is amazing and fresh, and I can't get enough of Seanik. It took me about 3 months to get through one bar, but it definitely would have lasted longer had I took better care of it.

I think I've used this solid shampoo enough times to tell you all how this was to my hair. My hair is very long coarse and really thick that is straight. My scalp is very oily and my ends are very dry I do tend to get split ends too but a trim will fix that. Now on to the review! I really wanted to like this bar I love the ocean and anything related to the sea. Unfortunately I didn't really like this bar. I thought it lathered great and the scent was okay it kinda reminds me of laundry detergent. When I use this bar I feel it cleans very well and it's harsh on my hair I feel like this dries my hair so bad that I get more split ends and my hair tangles more when I use this. Then this dries my scalp to the point I get dry patches and I can't help but pick at them thus causing dandruff which I normally don't get. I do like that my scalp feels very clean and I get great volume from using this product. Now I just use this when I need some deep cleansing to remove build up which I'm happy about but it's too harsh, maybe if lush lowered to SLS content in this it would be great. I don't like this product and I won't repurchase:(

I love the way it made my hair feel but hated the packaging. Left a mess in my bathtub even when I kept it in a soap dish.
- hair was soft & clean & shiny
- amazing scent
- perfect amount of sud
- did not strip hair dry
- did not last long
- expensive $10/pop
- packaging - groopy and melted away in no time
- sulfate
I like how it made my hair feel, might consider buying it again even though the package sucks.

A tessellation is a series of repeated identical shapes that fill in a given space without any gaps. Artist M.C. Escher is a famous creator of tessellations; his celebrated works of tessellated birds and lizards are some of the best-known examples of this combination of art and math.
Tessellations can be complex images with interlocking shapes of flying birds, crashing waves or swimming fish. They can also be simple creations, such as equal-sized squares lined up in rows with no gaps between them. Another word for tessellation is "tiling," which makes sense considering how neatly arranged and identical tiles can be.

Molly Waters, a lieutenant commander in the U.S. Coast Guard, relaxes on the ice near Green Bay, Wis. / Anthony Lee
Meet Lt. Cmdr. Molly Waters of the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Neah Bay.
You can call her captain.
Waters, originally from Wyoming but now stationed near Cleveland, has been running her 140-foot ship and crew on the St. Clair River near Algonac all winter long. The Neah Bay is an icebreaker, and its mission is to keep shipping channels clear for freighters. So far this winter, with extra-frigid temperatures, thats been quite a challenge.
Waters took a few minutes to give me a buzz last week.
QUESTION: So, captain of an icebreaker, eh?
ANSWER: Yessir.
How did you manage that?
Well, its a long, strange tale, so Ill give you the executive summary. I always wanted to be a pirate when I was a little kid. And about the time I was at that point in my life where I had to make the decisions that would affect me for the rest of my life, namely high school, I found an article in Smithsonian magazine on the Coast Guard Barque Eagle. And I went, Wow, I can be a pirate after all. Look at that big sailing ship!
How long is the ice-breaking season, and is this year any different than most?
This year is different. It started earlier and the temperatures have been consistently lower than in past years. ... Its been a nightmare since the middle of December.
How much longer? Its March, for crying out loud.
The outlook for the spring breakout, I would characterize as grim. I think that were going to be at this until the end of April. ... That is significantly later than normal.
At 32, are you considered an old person on your ship?
Yep. Im the old bag. Definitely. Actually, I believe our elder statesmen is our engineer officer. Hes in his early 40s.
How big is your crew?
Theres 17 of us, total. ... That includes the cat, too.
Youve got a cat on board?
Yes, I bring my cat with me. Hes a good sailor. Well, most of the time. In seas, he gets pretty sick, so I lock him in the bathroom. Easier to clean up. But otherwise, ice-breaking and rivers, hes great. He gets along well with the crew. The noise, the alarms, the rattling, they dont faze him.
What kinds of ships are going through past you?
They are carrying iron ore ... theyre carrying coal. You have tankers carrying both heating oil and fuel for power plants. And you have the all-important salt boats ... carrying salt. Its a hot commodity this year.
Absolutely. So if youre not out there breaking the ice, our roads are going to be slippery.
Thats right. The roads are going to become death traps, the steel mills will shut down, the power plants wont function and we all die. (Laughs.) They need our help to keep running through.
I gotta ask you, do you ever feel inadequate in your job?
Me, personally?
It seems to me clearing ice is almost like digging a hole and filling it up, digging a hole and then filling it up.
Oh, yeah. Well, when you put it that way, yes. Particularly when we get days down into the single digits. And it seems as though the track is freezing up just as fast as you can soften it for the customer. A pretty low day we had this particular week, an entire day of work, we managed to move clients as we call them 1,500 yards. All. Day. That is demoralizing. ... The most fun I think that we have is during the spring breakout. When the temperatures start to warm up, and the ice wants to move ... the theme of the day is launch and destruction. We move fast and throw a big wake, break a lot of ice. And you can see it starting to move out. You see the river starting to clear, the ice is starting to go away. And each morning when you get up, all the ice you broke up the day before has flowed out and is gone!
Victory! ... Tell me what the sound is like.
Well, it sounds like youre in an earthquake, and a very loud one. Its exceedingly loud. There are often times we have to yell on the bridge to be heard. ... Its a metallic roar. I suppose if you were in a giant tin can filled with gravel and someone was shaking it violently, thats the closest analogy I can think of.
When youre breaking the ice, do you get tossed about like a rag doll?
Sometimes we do. ... This icebreaker will actually climb as though we were going up a hill and we have been bounced back and forth like a pinball between big heavy ice floes. It was remarkable. I could not believe a ship this big would move like that. That is what the ice is capable of doing to us.
Do you enjoy eyeing up a giant chunk of ice and then just obliterating it?
Absolutely. Its kinda funny you mentioned that, because thats, a lot of time, the instruction helmsmen will get: You see that iceberg? Kill it! Kill it! Get it! Get it! Get it! (Laughs.)
Have you had a bad experience with ice in your lifetime? Why so much hatred?
Well, were here to break it, smash it up. I figure its just my role. Its my worthy adversary. Its my job to be enemies with it.

I am due April 6th and I will get to find out at my 20 week appointment on 11/19. SOOOOOOO excited! I have to admit I am pretty jealous of all the people finding out much earlier! My doc only does an u//s at 8 and 20 weeks unless you have additional testing or problems. Who else still doesn't know in this group?
I am due April 6, too! My ultrasound is scheduled for Nov 15- so I will be 19wk5d! I'm jealous of all the others too but hoping that since we are waiting longer we can see more!
that is a great point! Yay for being a due date twin! Luckily I am going on a business trip next week so that will take my mind off it a little bit. We are going to tell our families on thanksgiving (the sex) so that will be fun. I just keep seeing "it is a boy" or whatever and they are due at the end of April and I am like wow!!!!!
Me too! I'm due April 15 and my ultrasound is on Nov 26. I seriously thought about lying to the gal when she asked how far along I was so she could calculate when I would be 20 weeks!
Ann(29) + Doug (28)
Anderson Michael - 4.3.13
I'm due April 15th and I haven't even scheduled my ultrasound yet!!
i think some people have gone to places besides their doctors to find out early... like the mom spas. I will do that if they can't tell at my doc. i am excited to see the baby, my last u/s at 8 weeks looked like a peanut and not even a baby lol. I want one of the freaky alien profile pics lol
My doctor's office won't allow it before 20 weeks because they say they have too many people that have to come back because the results are not 100% sure/accurate before then, so mine is scheduled for the first day of my 20th week! I have heard of peole finding out at around 14-15 weeks (most of them being told it was a boy) and then being told it was a mistake because it was blip on the screen or something!
I am due April 13th and my u/s is not scheduled until December 5th. I am excited to find out but I don't mind the wait. This way there is more of a chance to be able to tell boy or girl!
Trisha (23) + Justin (24)= Married 7/7/12
Baby Boy!!!! Jamison Alexander Due 4/8/13
Me :( My appointment is November 30th :(

Startech USB to IDE SATA Duplicator12/14/2013
I really like the thought behind this device. It performs fine and does a good job. Cons: Way to Slow - took 60 minutes to do a 160gb HD WD software will do it in 7 minutes but it ties up my computer somewhat.
Ease of use6/22/2013
I got this to clone my hard drive. It works very well. It also allows you to use it as a docking station for SATA or IDE drives. Just put the original in SATA/IDE and dest in SATA/IDE and push the button. It will take a little while. I did mine overnight. Also, it will check the hard drive for errors, if you want just to do that. Also, this item at half price was a bonus also.

Daniel Sedin and Jannik Hansen scored 2:44 apart late in the second period to lead the Vancouver Canucks to a 5-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday. Dan Hamhuis, Mason Raymond and Chris Higgins, into an empty net, also scored for Vancouver, which put forth a strong effort against the defending Stanley Cup champions to stop a two-game losing streak. Justin Williams and Jordan Nolan scored for Los Angeles, which had its five-game win streak end. Following disappointing 8-3 and 4-2 losses to Detroit and Phoenix, and without center Ryan Kesler (fractured foot), the Canucks were in need of a strong outing to maintain their place atop the Northwest Division. Vancouver played a gritty, tight-checking game. Defenseman Andrew Alberts was in the lineup in favor of Keith Ballard (healthy scratch) to provide a physical presence in front of Vancouver's goal. Canucks newcomer Tom Sestito - picked up on waivers from Philadelphia on Friday - hammered Colin Fraser with a clean che...

Story about the greatest basketball player to go to my Alma Mater.
Larry Siegfried, who won five NBA titles in seven years with the Boston Celtics, died Thursday night. He was 71.
"I never saw a better guard in the Big Ten than Larry Siegfried," Knight said at the 50th reunion of Ohio State's 1960 national championship team. "He was a great player. He was tough as hell. He was physical, he could jump ... if I had my choice of any guard who played in the Big Ten when I coached and everything else, I'd have a hard time picking someone else."...........

Resident dies, firefighter injured in Sunday morning Oak Grove blaze
The body of an elderly man was found Sunday afternoon in the charred remains of an Oak Grove house that was destroyed during an early morning fire.
The man's body was discovered at about 1 p.m. by firefighters who went inside the house after the fire. The house was so cluttered that heavy machinery was needed to remove excessive debris from around the dwelling before it was safe to enter the building.
Neighbors reported the fire at about 3:15 a.m. as flames lept from the house at 5135 S.E. El Centro Way.
A firefight was also injured fighting the blaze, which was fed by a broken natural gas line and complicated by extensive remodeling and large amounts of household products stacked throughout the home.
It took firefighters more than two hours to contain and control the blaze in the home. It was a total loss.

Gear Review
My dear Watson, we have a winner...
Not gonna lie, I've been a Lib snob for quite some time now but this board has changed everything for me. I took this board out on two separate occasions at Snowbird. One day was your standard bottomless day we get here in Utah..no big deal. Anyway short story even shorter: effortless! I also took it out about a week after that storm on a sunny fast day and this board has incredible edge hold and you can go as fast as you want...scarrrry fast! Oh and its lighter than calista flockhart was on Ally McBeal.
Pros: Uber light, great response and stability, effortless float
Cons: no wide widths for my big feet

Total cash compensation to Build and Release Engineers bottoms out near $63K and approaches $129K on the high end; the biggest paychecks include approximately $11K from bonuses and almost $10K from profit sharing. Career length and the particular city each impact pay for this group, with the former having the largest influence. Almost all enjoy medical while a large number get dental coverage.

Build and release engineers are in charge of the software design, building phases, and release duties for their organization. They create and maintain infrastructure to build software applications, as well as test and troubleshoot code before release. They are also responsible for executing and coordinating integration of software elements, overseeing testing procedures to identify compatibility or performance issues, and using complex engineering tools to automate processes and increase productivity. Build and release engineers create a release schedule, taking into account build requirements and complexity. They also verify build integrity before deployment, run proprietary software to modify project needs and oversee build progress. These professionals develop easy-to-understand instructions for release and create detailed reports for upper management. They also implement optimizations for better performance and reduced memory consumption.Read More...
A bachelor's degree in computer engineering, computer science, or a related fields is necessary for this position. Previous related experience is required as well. Build and release engineers must have excellent problem solving skills, and pay close attention to detail. In addition, they should be able to multitask on a variety of projects and possess strong interpersonal skills to work effectively in a team environment with other engineers; however, they must also perform well by themselves with minimal supervision. They should have scripting technical knowledge, as well as database and software programming experience.
Build and Release Engineers usually report a few specific skills. Automation Scripting and Build Management are considered valuable skills and can increase employee pay. Build Management is a skill commonly found among those who know Automation Scripting.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
The average worker who claims fewer than five years of experience earns around $79K. In contrast, however, individuals who report five to 10 years in this occupation see a much larger median of $96K. Between one and two decades on the job, average salaries pass the six-figure mark at around $109K. For some reason, Build and Release Engineers with more than two decades of experience report lower paychecks overall; the median sum in this group sits near $104K.

2012 Spring Football
All-Transfer Defense
Richard Cirminiello Follow Us ...
- 2012 All-Transfer Offense
Unlike professional sports, the college game has no free agency. It does, however, have transfers, those gems who began their careers at another FBS program, yet for myriad reasons seek a fresh start elsewhere.
Every year, dozens of players from across the country opt to relocate to a different university in order to continue their athletic and academic pursuits. Their impetus runs the gamut from being closer to family and seeking more playing time to getting out from under the thumb of a prickly coaching staff. Many are looking to reinvent themselves, having lost some of the luster that accompanied their final season in high school. A new environment can sometimes be the perfect remedy for a turnaround.
Many of this season's top transfers have been forgotten, thanks to that questionable NCAA rule that requires these opportunity seekers to sit out one full season before becoming eligible in 2012. Forgotten, yes, but hardly gone. Having spent the past months to a year learning new playbooks and hitting the weights in earnest, each is itching to make the most of this second chance in a new locale.
DE Derrick Bryant, West Virginia via UCLA
Bryant's desire to move closer to his family in Columbus, OH could wind up being a windfall for the Mountaineers over the next three seasons. The three-star prospect from the class of 2010 has the raw skills to develop into a tenacious pass rusher on the outside. At 6-3 and 250 pounds, he gets off the ball very quickly, allowing him to beat heavy-footed tackles around the edge. Bryant figures to be one of a handful of candidates looking to replace Bruce Irvin in Morgantown.
DT Brandon Willis, UCLA via North Carolina
Willis can't wait to hit someone after not playing in his first season in Chapel Hill, and sitting out 2011 per NCAA transfer rules. One of the top-rated defensive tackles of 2010 feels as if he's found a home in Westwood, finally putting down roots after bouncing around for the past two years. Although he lacks ideal size and girth at this stage of career, that ought to change over time. Plus, he's the kind of interior lineman who tends to rely more heavily on his quickness, athleticism and good hands for making stops for minus yards.
DE Forrest West, NC State via Colorado
West has headed east for the second half of his amateur career. The two-time letterwinner in Boulder is essentially an end in the body of an outside linebacker, employing a good first step to make his way into opposing backfields. In his second year as a Buffalo, West finished the season with a flurry of big plays, making 8.5 stops for loss and 5.5 sacks in limited reps. He's hoping to provide additional reinforcements for a Wolfpack defense that ranked No. 8 in the country in sacks a year ago.
LB Ryan Donohue, Connecticut via Maryland
Even if a starting job eludes Donohue, there's little doubt he'll help bolster the depth of an already talented corps of Huskies linebackers. The two-time letterwinner while with the Terrapins will provide help on special teams, and provide a veteran presence from off the bench. He's a tough and stout inside linebacker who does his best work on running downs.
LB Uani Unga, BYU via Oregon State
With his first child on the way, Unga chose in early 2011 to transfer to BYU, which is closer to his in-laws. After sitting out last season, he's eligible to compete for playing time on the second level of the D. A mature athlete, who already served on a two-year LDS mission to Chile, he figures to fit in nicely with the Cougars. Although playing time was scarce in Corvallis, he possesses the range and high-level reps to make an instant impact in his debut in Provo.
LB Brian Wagner, Arizona via Akron
Who'd have imagined that Akron could be a pipeline to Arizona? Wagner, who has spent his entire athletic career bucking the odds, is making the improbable move to Tucson in part because the school affords him an opportunity to pursue a graduate degree in biostatistics. Oh, and a chance to test his skills against Pac-12 competition was appealing as well. Wagner was a tackling machine for the Zips almost from the moment he stepped foot on campus in 2008. The two-time All-MAC selection made no less than 130 stops in each of the last three seasons.
CB Cullen Christian, Pittsburgh via Michigan
The nation's third-ranked cornerback of 2010 found a new home not long after arriving in Ann Arbor. Christian moved closer to his Penn Hills, Penn. home, good news for a family that missed him. He got a taste of action in 10 games as a rookie, making six tackles and gradually adapting to the speed of the game. The Panthers return three starters in the secondary, but one of the vacancies is the corner position held by Antwuan Reed in 2011. Christian hopes to fill that void or the backup role with a solid offseason of practice.
S Jonathan Dowling, Western Kentucky via Florida
Yeah, there's a degree of risk associated with Dowling, who was booted from Florida for a general lack of maturity, but he has enough talent for the Hilltoppers to roll the dice. The 6-4, 195-pounder had offers from major programs throughout the southeast two years ago, when he was considered one of the best defensive backs in the country. If he remains focused on improvement, Dowling can dominate at a Sun Belt program, such as Western Kentucky, very early in his career.
S Shamiel Gary, Oklahoma State via Wyoming
Gary successfully used Laramie as a proving ground for an opportunity to perform on a much bigger stage. Spurned by the Pokes and the Sooners coming out of Booker T. Washington High School, the Tulsa, Okla. native posted back-to-back successful seasons as a starter for Wyoming, earning Freshman All-American honors in 2009. The 6-0, 205-pounder can really pack a punch, pressing up from the secondary to defend the run with a vengeance. Gary will be difficult to keep out of the lineup this fall, especially since All-Big 12 SS Markelle Martin has exhausted his eligibility.
CB Jajuan Harley, Middle Tennessee via Florida State
The Blue Raiders didn't land an ordinary defensive back. In Harley, they now have access to one of the most coveted recruits of the 2010 class. An original commit to play in Tallahassee, the four-star prepster will maintain some ties to the 'Noles as he prepares to play for former Florida State QB Rick Stockstill. He can play multiple positions, which is a good thing for his new squad because Middle Tennessee must replace three starters from a depleted secondary that picked off just four balls all last year.
Jordan Haden, Toledo via Florida
Haden followed the same path as older brother Joe, originally signing with the Gators out of high school. Now the pair will both be playing ball in Ohio, Jordan with the Rockets, and Joe as a corner for the Cleveland Browns. The younger Haden was a four-star prospect two years ago, a hard-hitting safety with a bright future regardless of where he put on pads.
Ray Vinopal, Pittsburgh via Michigan
Like Christian, Vinopal is a former Wolverine defensive back hoping to finish his career as a Panther. The three-star safety from the 2010 recruiting class started six games as a rookie, making 33 stops. Barring an unforeseen event, like an injury to holdover Jarred Holley or Jason Hendricks, Vinopal might have to wait until 2013 for his next starting nod.

Theatre review: Mpinga MorningsMpinga Mornings is a one-person play told from the perspective of three Rhodesian-born (now Zimbabwe) characters – a farmer's wife, her daughter and their domestic worker. It spans the time from around the start of the Rhodesian Bush War to the land grabs and beyond and shows the different ways in which each character was affected by these events.
Travel like a local in Langa
Rob PetersWe are always on the lookout for authentic experiences. The word 'authentic' obviously means different things to different people, but I recently found a real authenticity on a tour of Langa.
Get creative with Art JammingI've always enjoyed painting and art. I'm not very good at it, but I've always found something relaxing and therapeutic about drawing, taking photos on my own and sitting with a canvas and being able to paint whatever I want to. Needless to say that when I got the chance to experience Art Jamming, I was quite excited about it.

Golf tourism: word of mouth vs word of mouse

Ten good reasons to go golfing around Cape Town
Golf in South Africa began in 1885 when Lieutenant-General Sir Henry D'Oyley Torrens, commander of the British garrison stationed in the Cape founded the Royal Cape Golf Club. Well over a century later the course has stood the test of time and remains one of the Cape's premier golfing destinations. A relatively flat course, it weaves through avenues of trees and water features which add to the appeal and challenge of the game.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Vancouver Coach Marc Crawford testified at Marty McSorley's assault trial Tuesday that the Boston player's slash of the Canucks' Donald Brashear was the worst he ever saw.
"I've seen people hit in the head with sticks, but not to that extent," Crawford testified.
Crawford said he saw McSorley skating behind Brashear late in the third period during a Feb. 21 game against the Bruins. "There was no chance for Donald to expect it was coming," the coach said.
McSorley is charged with assault as a result of a slash to the right side of Brashear's head. Brashear suffered a concussion and memory lapses. He is now recovered.
The Canucks and the NHL are opposed to the trial. The team's position has been that the league acted appropriately in suspending McSorley for the final 23 games last season, and the incident should not have ended up in criminal court.


text: 000 FXUS63 KSGF 020749 AFDSGF AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 249 AM CDT Thu Jul 2 2015 .SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight) Issued at 247 AM CDT THU JUL 2 2015 A mesoscale convective system (MCS) continues to shift south across southern Missouri during the predawn hours. This system has brought torrential rainfall to the region overnight with numerous reports of flooding (some fairly significant). We have also had reports of wind damage from both supercells (earlier on in the event) and then line segments/mesovortices as the MCS evolved. This MCS should continue to slowly progress southward at about 15-25 mph given the latest upwind propagating Corfidi vectors across southern Missouri. Nevertheless, rainfall rates of 2-3" per hour will continue to produce an elevated to locally significant flash flooding risk. The severe threat will continue to dwindle through sunrise with perhaps a localized damaging wind gust still possible. The potential for convection throughout the day is then a tough call. The cold pool/gust front from the overnight convection will clear the entire area. However, there will be a surface cold front coming in from the northwest. We may see enough atmospheric recovery for at least moderate amounts of instability ahead of that front. With the approach of more upper level short wave energy, there will be the potential for scattered thunderstorm development from this afternoon into perhaps early this evening. There will be an attendant quarter size hail and damaging wind threat with these storms if this instability indeed materializes. Another scenario we will have to watch for is convection growing upscale into a line across southern Kansas and northern Oklahoma...with the eastern extent of this line possibly getting into southwestern Missouri. If this happens, there would be an attendant damaging wind threat. We will then have to watch for additional MCS development across the central Plains later tonight. The good news here is that this activity would tend to track southeast towards northern Oklahoma and not the Missouri Ozarks. With that being said, we are thinking that the threat for widespread heavy rainfall will end once this activity clears early this morning. We will therefore be letting the Flash Flood Watch expire. That is not to say that locally heavy rainfall (and an attendant flash flooding risk) will still not be possible with any scattered convection that develops later today. Additionally, there will be ongoing Flash Flood Warnings past the Flash Flood Watch expiration time...which makes the watch moot anyways. .LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 247 AM CDT THU JUL 2 2015 That front will then stall just to the south of the Missouri Ozarks and may actually try and shift north again during the Fourth of July weekend. There will therefore be a continued threat for showers and thunderstorms...especially from southeastern Kansas into southern Missouri. It will not rain the entire time, but those with outdoor plans should remain alert for approaching thunderstorms. The upper level flow will then transition from northwesterly to west-northwesterly during the early and middle portions of next week. This should result in continued chances for thunderstorms with that front shifting back north of the Ozarks. Temperatures will remain at or slightly below normal. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday Night) Issued at 1257 AM CDT THU JUL 2 2015 Thunderstorms will move south toward and eventually through the terminals early this morning. Strong wind gusts are expected with these, with 25-35 KT likely...and 40-50 KT possible. In addition...heavy rain will result in IFR or LIFR vis in and around thunderstorms. Additional thunderstorms may develop later this afternoon and affect the terminals...though this potential is still rather unclear at this time. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...FLASH FLOOD WATCH until 7 AM CDT this morning FOR MOZ055>058- 067>071-079>083-091-092-096>098-106. KS...NONE. && $$ SHORT TERM...Schaumann LONG TERM...Schaumann AVIATION...Boxell
