The actress has become extremely paranoid, even forcing her current boyfriend to contact her through an assistant
By: Ashley Baylen
"The Avengers" star, Scarlett Johansson, might be the highest paid actress in Hollywood, but the Black Widow may be the most paranoid as well.
After last year's highly publicized hacking scandal, the 27-year old actress has become extremely weary of all technology. Although many actresses had nude photos stolen from their cell phones, Johansson seems to be the only one that has gone as far as making current boyfriend, Nate Naylor, contact her through an assistant.
According to Star Magazine (so the source might not be the most legit), the actress has become very paranoid about maintaining her privacy.
"She thinks people are constantly spying on her… It's gotten to the point where she doesn't trust any technology," an insider told the gossip mag.
"She has everyone, including her boyfriend Nate Naylor, contacting her through her assistant… It's really awkward but for now he's going along with it."
The hacker responsible for the celebrity photo theft, Christopher Chaney, pled guilty to the charges. Prosecutors have suggested Johansson receive $66k in restitution.

Timothy Garton Ash: Royal Wedding: Save the Throne
Timothy Garton Ash, a contributing editor to Opinion, is professor of European studies at Oxford University, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and the author, most recently, of "Facts are Subversive: Political Writing from a Decade Without a Name."
If things continue as they are and Britain's Prince Charles succeeds his mother to reign as king until his death at a ripe old age, then sometime around 2040 the young couple getting married in Westminster Abbey on Friday will be King William V and Queen Catherine. By sheer accident of birth, William will then be the head of state of whatever is left of today's United Kingdom. Would that be all right? My answer is: In theory, no; in practice, probably yes.If William and Kate behave themselves, unlike some of the gamier members of Britain's royal family, and contribute to the development of a modernized, slimmed-down constitutional monarchy, this can actually be better than the likely alternatives. As I look across Europe, I don't think countries such as Sweden, Holland, Denmark and Spain, all of which have monarchs, are worse off than those that have party politicians directly or indirectly elected to be president. Or would you rather have Buckingham Palace occupied by a President Tony Blair?
With one brief interlude in the 17th century, when English revolutionaries experimented with decapitating one of them, there have been kings and queens for more than 1,000 years. That is an amazing thing. It is the stuff of poetry. Imagine Shakespeare purged of all references to kingship. Before you abandon 1,000 years of poetry, you should be very certain that you will fare better in prose.
As we see again with the world media invasion of London for this week's royal wedding, this history, legend and mystique is also a significant contributor to Britain's soft power (the power to attract) and its earnings from tourism. I don't think anyone goes to Berlin to watch them changing guard at Bellevue Palace, or to catch a glimpse of President and Frau Wulff, and the little Wulffs. "President who?" is what most of the world would ask, if reference were made to the current head of state of Europe's most powerful country....

 I normally like the CSM, but publishing this idiot has me doubting things.

If there's anything that's true about the United States of Amnesia, it's that our crisis of armed violence against African-Americans has everything to do with decisions of the founders.

All of this happened in the wake of the tragic and totally senseless shooting in Charleston, S.C., an event that had little if nothing to do with any of our Founding Fathers.

As in so many cases, the self-styled hardheaded realists are nothing but phony blowhards who start with the desired answer (cut taxes and regulation, privatize, etc.) and reason backwards to their desired policy prescriptions (cut taxes, privatize, etc.)

The real reason conservatives want to do away with Medicare has always been political: It's the very idea of the government providing a universal safety net that they hate, and they hate it even more when such programs are successful. But when they make their case to the public they usually shy away from making their real case, and have even, incredibly, sometimes posed as the program's defenders against liberals and their death panels.

This is because cities see these services as competitors to taxi services, which cities have historically regulated.

So this is a good opportunity to fix a historically based regulatory mismatch at the same time as promoting a general improvement in the public welfare.

First, the right local government to regulate the Ubers and Lyfts are the transit districts, not the cities. This is because, done right, these network rideshare services can fill gaps in the transit services, and augment mobility.

Second, the Ubers and Lyfts have to help with the challenge of ADA transportation burdens, which have all been dumped on the transit systems -- which is wrong, but right now, that's the state of play. What "helping" means is that every Uber and Lyft ride that is NOT in a vehicle capable of giving a handicapped person a ride is taxed, with the tax going to the transit system. Probably, the natural setpoint for this tax is the regular single-trip busfare for the number of riders.

The Ubers and Lyfts will howl, of course, since their business model is to avoid responsibility for anything they can avoid, to boost profits. But we don't have to listen to the howling. In Salem and Portland, the threat of Uber isn't just that it will kill cabs --- it's the threat to transit systems that should concern us. If these new networked ride providers succeed, it will be at the expense of the regular transit system, leaving an even worse budget calamity for supporting ADA accessibility.

Third, and in partial compensation for the tax, is that for every rideshare vehicle that IS capable of transporting the handicapped, the transit system should pay the fare whenever a person who could call on the paratransit service uses the Uber or Lyft ride instead. In other words, we make the paratransit system a true alternative that offers disabled people something like equivalent mobility 24/7.

Fourth, all networked rideshare providers pay a small transit tax on each ride, regardless of whether the vehicle is handicapped accessible or not, but the tax is only during those hours when the transit system is in operation. So during regular hours, riders using a networked provider help support the transit system that they will want to fall back on during those moments when Uber and Lyft don't have a vehicle available, or when their "surge" pricing makes them unattractive. But there's no such tax in the middle of the night when the transit system isn't running.

This is so great. I'm not much of a weightlifter -- slices of pizza being my heaviest lift most days -- but this is a great example of a deep insight.

So many problems in society need a dose of this kind of thinking: Instead of adding force and insisting that the solution is more power (more of what is already not working), why not reverse the problem and see an elegant solution.

There's an important lesson here, with applications everywhere, for all who have eyes to see.

Fellow Salem blog HinesSight points to the important New Yorker story on The Big One that's coming on a date to be determined (after the fact), a date which will truly Live in Infamy long after the original date that earned that title is forgotten.

Perhaps lyrical New Yorker prose can wake up and convince the so-called leaders of Salem to actually lead an appropriate effort -- that is, an emergency effort -- to make Salem earthquake resilient, which would start with getting all the public safety folks and their offices out of City Hall NOW, and distributing them into several of the many suitable, newer (designed for earthquakes) empty buildings sitting unused.

That's probably job 1 -- increase the survival rate of public safety folks. If the Big quake hits on a weekday morning now, as things are, few city employees will survive to blame for letting volunteer politicians mislead and misdirect our priorities so badly.

If I were the Chief of Police, I would tell the Mayor and City Manager that they have 30 days to negotiate leases and move all the police offices into facilities spread across town, but whether they've done it or not, on Day 31, the Salem police will not be in working in the tombs-to-be on the bottom of three stories of flattened concrete. Let them Mayor and Manager try to fire the Chief who has the courage and foresight to actually do the job required of a leader.

There are lots of other quake preparedness jobs the city should be leading -- helping residents identify and fix what is fixable in their homes (and to finance such improvements), instead of squandering our wealth on ever more foolish giveaways to try and restart the sprawl era.

There's plenty of economic development work right here -- making what we have survivable and investing in people and in procedures and preparedness for what we know is coming.

 Railway Gazette International reports that the first of 32 Alstom Citadis wireless streetcars arrived in Rio de Janeiro last week to test the power supply system on a new catenary-free tram line that is set to begin service in time for the 2016 Olympic Games.

The 28-km, 37-stop line is being built by VLT Carioca, a consortium of Brazilian and French rail transport and technology firms. VLT Carioca in turn awarded Alstom a €230 million ($254.5 million U.S.) turnkey contract to construct the line using its APS wire-free power supply system. The system transmits electricity to the trams by energizing a third rail embedded in the pavement when cars pass over it; the rail is de-energized at other times. The trams also have supercapacitors to store energy generated during braking.

The test tram took 20 days to get to Rio from Alstom's plant in La Rochelle, France. Four more trams will be built in La Rochelle, and the other 27 trams that will provide service on the line are being built in a new factory Alstom built in Taubaté in São Paulo state.
 The line's 14-km-long initial section will open in mid-2016, in time for the Olympics.

Most of Salem is still grossly underserved by libraries, and most of the people who most need library access have the hardest time doing so — what with both libraries located within a mile of each other in the old downtown core area and West Salem — but at least we're finally reversing the starvation trend and increasing hours.

Now, the fact that there's no transit service on Sunday is another matter entirely — so the increase should have been to open the main branch on Mondays before Sundays, since the buses run on Mondays.

But any progress away from the cut-cut-cut mentality that has been in place is still welcome.

Library Open Sunday!
Beginning THIS SUNDAY July 12, 2015 and for the first time ever, the main branch of the Library will be open Sundays FROM 1-5 PM over the summer months (just not the September holiday weekend). As part of this year's budget, Salem City Council and the Budget Committee expanded the Library's hours to include summer Sundays.

The only way you could use standardized tests to evaluate anything is to reduce the independent variables down to one: you either

Have just one teacher teaching all tested students in the same way (thereby allowing you to at least argue that variations in student performance are rooted in the students, although there are a host of variables that could affect those), or

Have only uniformly prepared and proficient students be taught by various teachers before administering the tests (thereby allowing you to isolate teaching as the variable).

Since neither of these conditions can or could ever obtain, the whole exercise is folly — expensive, destructive folly. Like private prisons, standardized tests are a case of snake-oil peddlers convincing the rubes that they need what the peddler is selling, and once they buy, they're hooked and hornswaggled into buying more and more, like the alcoholic who wants more of the hair of the dog that bit him.

To the test peddlers, there's no problem in education that can't be addressed with more and more "accountability" -- for everyone but them.

The Northwest Hub is a not for profit full service bicycle shop, bike reclamation program and training center. Proceeds from our cycling center directly serve neighbors in need of transportation who "purchase" a bike through service to our community. Through recycling, reclamation, training and redistribution, the NW Hub provides affordable services and sales to the general public and free bicycles, locks, parts, repair training and vocational rehabilitation to adults and at-risk youth.

We recently received backing from a local business to cover the rent and utilities of a retail space for one year. However, we are still in need of further tooling and supplies to train and mobilize our community in need and make bicycles accessible to all, whatever their income. Every $100 donated enables us to train, empower, and mobilize one person in need of skills and transportation.

Please help us reach our goal!

By Chris Mooney
26 June 2015

(Washington Post) – Following on a record hot May in which much snow cover melted off early, Alaska saw no less than 152 fires erupt last weekend. The numbers have only grown further since then, and stood at 317 active fires Friday, according to the Alaska Interagency Coordination Center, with over 280,000 additional acres burned just since Thursday.

"Given the high number of fires and the personnel assigned to those fires, the state's firefighting resources are becoming very limited, forcing fire managers to prioritize resources," noted the state's Department of Natural Resources Tuesday. The preparedness level at the moment for the state is 5, meaning that "resistance to control is high to extreme and resistance to extinguishment is high."

This stunning tweet from the Alaska Division of Forestry sort of says it all:

All of which is troubling for multiple reasons: (1) Recent research suggests that more Alaskan wildfires, and more large Alaskan fires in particular, are a trend; (2) In some cases, wildfires in Alaska don't just consume trees, grasses or tundra. They can burn away soils as well and threaten permafrost, frozen soil beneath the ground, and so potentially help to trigger additional release of carbon to the atmosphere.

"One major concern about wildfires becoming more frequent in permafrost areas is the potential to put the vast amounts of carbon stored there at increased risk of being emitted and further amplify warming," said Todd Sanford, a climate scientist at Climate Central and lead author of the group's newly released report on Alaskan wildfires, by e-mail.

New gun control measures are not the way to prevent mass killings such as the shooting deaths of nine people in a South Carolina church, the Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush said on Saturday.

Bush, who plans to meet black ministers in Charleston, South Carolina, on Monday, said identifying potentially violent people before they committed such crimes was a better approach than further restrictions on gun ownership.

Because it's so easy to know the evil that lurks in the hearts of men, right? Moron.

Nothing Sacred in Cemetery Vandalism
By STACEY STOWE
Published: October 31, 1999
IT'S Halloween, and if you're in the market for a really scary story, forget the Stephen King books and the Hollywood horror movies. Cemeteries around the state are the places where you'll find the most macabre tales, chilling stories of grave robberies -- and vandalism.
There are vandals who take a sledgehammer to 150-year-old stones, thieves who pry off tiny stone lambs that adorn the graves of children and even a few black-cloaked figures wearing Satanic medallions who prowl the grounds at dusk.
''It is really pathetic, the desecration of these graves,'' said Richard Crane, the former superintendent of the Woodbury Cemetery Association and now First Selectman of Woodbury. ''How do people live with their conscience when they do something like this?''
At the Grove Street Cemetery in New Haven, where Eli Whitney and Noah Webster are buried, more than 30 headstones were toppled and several of the marble ones broken on Oct. 18. The fingers of a Victorian-era angel statue were broken off and scattered throughout the 18-acre grounds. The investigation is continuing; no arrests have been made.
Three years ago, two wrought-iron pedestal urns that marked the entrance to a family plot in South Cemetery in Woodbury were stolen. The urns weighed about 700 pounds each, by Mr. Crane's estimate. In Woodbury and almost everywhere else (according to cemetery superintendents throughout the state), flowers placed or planted on the graves are routinely stolen.
And several people who maintain cemeteries say they have seen strange activity in graveyards. In Mystic and Stonington, cemetery workers said they have seen adults in black cloaks and medallions in the graveyard as the sun was setting. On another occasion, James C. Davis, superintendent of the Elm Grove Cemetery in Mystic, found a dead bird with an arrow stuck in it laid on top of a headstone and a black glove next to it. Paul Lesniewski, superintendent of Stonington Cemetery, said has seen black-cloaked people in that cemetery and once found a two-foot wooden stake, sharpened on one end, hammered into a grave dating from the 1700's. At St. John Cemetery in Middletown, a 19-year-old was convicted of vandalizing graves last fall. The police said the man who toppled headstones and turned crosses upside down said he did it ''in the name of Satan.'' The dark clothing and objects are in the style of those used in Satanic rituals, said Nicholas Guerriero, a former Waterbury police officer who once gave seminars at the police department on recognizing signs of the occult. Mr. Guerriero, now deputy chief of police in Winsted, said 10 years ago such activity was more widespread.
''The kids you see wearing the clothes and the symbols could be dabblers or they could be posturing,'' he said. ''The adults who do it are usually serious, but the whole movement has become more covert, less public than several years ago.''
In Connecticut it is a felony to steal or illegally possess gravestones or interfere with a cemetery or burial ground. Interference includes intentionally destroying or removing stones and memorial art from the grave and disturbing the contents of the tomb.
About four years ago at Stonington Cemetery, granite urns, finials and an entire stained-glass window disappeared from the 50-acre grounds where the poets Stephen Vincent Benet and James Merrill are buried. Mr. Lesniewski said the thieves used a backhoe to pull out statuary. Eight years ago, he wrote down the license plate of a car driven by two women who were stopping at numerous graves. Later, the New London police linked the women to a Rhode Island-based ring of cemetery thieves.
At Elm Grove Cemetery in Mystic, vandals broke off deer statuary at its base 15 years ago. Ten years ago, highly decorative stone gates from the 1800's as well as two urns valued at about $15,000 each were stolen. Mr. Davis said a few years later someone pulled open the doors of a mausoleum and stole a marble pedestal. This year and every year, he said, flowers are stolen. Hydrangea blossoms are regularly snipped off throughout the cemetery.
For the professionals and volunteers who maintain and monitor the cemeteries, the theft, vandalism and other activities are not only repulsive but also frustrating.
''It isn't easy to prove something was stolen when there is no proof it ever existed,'' said Ruth Shapleigh-Brown of Manchester, executive director of the Connecticut Gravestone Network. Very few historic cemeteries have been documented and records of the graves, particularly of the Colonial era, are often missing or never existed, she said.
Last spring, a small granite urn was stolen from a 1905 grave at the Wethersfield Village Cemetery. The theft prompted David Kelly, superintendent of the Wethersfield Village Cemetery, to document and photograph other memorial art there. At the Stonington Cemetery, its superintendent, Mr. Lesniewski, has videotaped the 100,000-stone site.
One goal of the gravestone network is creating a database of the graves and photographing the memorial art. The police will have an easier time recovering the stolen property with a photo for a guide, Ms. Shapleigh-Brown said.

Laura Palmer
Even in Death, the Daddy's Girl of Twin Peaks Stole Television's Most Bizarre Show
Nestled in Peaks's bosom was Laura Palmer (played by Sheryl Lee), who made her series debut as a blue-lipped lovely done up like a Seal-A-Meal. And it was the riddle of who gave her the wrap job that propelled the most talked-about TV whodunit since Dallas's "Who Shot J.R.?" cliff-hanger in 1980.
Laura Palmer. The dead girl's extracurricular activity was astonishing: from tutor for Johnny the head-banger, to Meals on Wheels delivery girl, to party favor at One-Eyed Jack's brothel. As FBI agent Dale Cooper's season-long search for Laura's killer unfolded (and soon became beside the point), phrases such as "dirt under the fingernails" and "broken heart" took on surreptitious new meanings. Series mastermind David Lynch pinged his audience relentlessly with subliminal cultural references, from a sheriff named Harry S. Truman to a Double-R-diner dessert that evoked an H. Rap Brown adage from the '60s: that violence is as American as cherry pie.
Who killed Laura Palmer? Who cares! (Okay, for the record, it was dear old Dad.) What really mattered was that, for at least one hour each week, commercial TV's center of gravity shifted, irrevocably. As Lynch recently mused to an interviewer, "Twin Peaks opened up a whole new world for me." Or was it another dimension of sight and sound—courtesy of Laura Palmer?

Tom and I love to travel and as we now have the opportunity, we plan to spend 3 months a year overseas.
We are regular visitors to Africa as we work with a locally run AIDS clinic in Uganda called Kawempe Home Care and the proceeds from our airbnb go towards paying the school fees for children who have been affected by AIDS.
We enjoy good food and good wine and we like guests to feel at home.

Love Quote
Few people know what they mean when they say, "I love you." ... Well, what does the word love mean? It means total interest. I think the reason very few people really fall in love with anyone is they're not willing to pay the price. The price is you have to adjust yourself to them.

Transocean Ltd. (NYSE: RIG) (SIX: RIGN) announced today that at approximately noon Rio De Janeiro time (11 a.m., ET), September 27, 2012, the federal court in Rio de Janeiro served the company with a preliminary injunction requiring that it cease operations in Brazil within 30 calendar days from the date of service.
The company is vigorously pursuing the overturn or suspension of the preliminary injunction, including through an appeal to the Superior Court of Justice. Absent relief from the courts, Transocean will be required to comply with the preliminary injunction.
Transocean currently has 10 rigs under contract for work in Brazil, with nine currently in country, and is evaluating rig contracts and collaborating with customers to determine appropriate actions with respect to operations.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste

Carlo Ancelotti has been appointed as the new coach of Real Madrid on a three-year deal, the club confirmed on Tuesday.
"Carlos Michelangelo Ancelotti will be the coach of Real Madrid next season," said a statement on the club's website.
"Experience, success and reliability in all the countries in which the Italian has worked, he arrives in the Spanish capital after being chosen as coach of the year in France."
Ancelotti will be formally presented to the media on Wednesday afternoon, it added.
The 54-year-old Italian's protracted move from Paris Saint-Germain was finally confirmed after the French champions also appointed Laurent Blanc to be their coach for next season on Tuesday.
That cleared the path for Madrid to end a five-week wait to announce their new boss after it was announced Jose Mourinho would not be continuing at the club on May 20.
First choice
However, the former Juventus, AC Milan and Chelsea boss has always been Real president Florentino Perez first choice to replace Mourinho and arrives with an impressive CV, having won league titles in Italy, England and France.
"He has won practically everything in the ambit of international football (two Champions Leagues, two European Supercups, One World Club Cup and One Intertoto Cup) and has won the league in three distinct championships in which he has managed (Italy, England and France)," the club statement said.
"Familiar with the pressure of managing big teams on the continent, the Italian is a guarantee to manage and exciting project."
It is that experience that Madrid have bet on after a tumultuous final year under Mourinho in which Real failed to win a major trophy and the Portuguese clashed with many of his senior players.
Moreover, Ancelotti's proven track record in the Champions League was key attraction for Perez as winning a 10th European Cup remains Madrid's primary objective.
After falling short at the semi-final stage under Mourinho for the past three seasons, Perez has now entrusted Ancelotti to take what is currently the most expensive squad ever assembled in the history of the game the extra two stages required to land Madrid's first Champions League trophy since 2002.
The arrival of Ancelotti is also likely to signal the beginning of major moves in the transfer market from the Spanish giants who have so far just exercised their right to buy-back Spanish under-21 international Dani Carvajal from Bayer Leverkusen and converted 21-year-old Brazilian Casemiro's loan deal from Sao Paulo into a permanent move in recent weeks.
The purchase of Malaga midfielder Isco for a price in the region of $39m is also expected to be completed this week as Real look set to beat off strong competition from Manchester City for the highly rated Spanish international.
Real have also been strongly linked with a move for Tottenham Hotspur's Gareth Bale and Liverpool's Luis Suarez, however one of Ancelotti's first jobs may be to sanction a few transfers out of the club to create the funds for future moves.
Striker Gonzalo Higuain has spoken of his desire to leave the club and his father admitted on Sunday that the player was close to reaching an agreement with both Arsenal and Juventus.

CENTRIFUGE BOTTLE AND CLOSURE THEREFOR Filed Sept. 11, 1967 Sheet 2 of 2 /6 E5 90 El 9 9 FIGB E3 "8:? he a I; I 8 6A I I? 1 I i i I? J" INVENTOR ANTHONY J. BARLETTA ATTORNEY United States Patent US. Cl. 21547 6 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Plastic centrifuge bottle having a portion of its wall tapering outwardly to the mouth, a closure tapering inwardly towards its mouth-entering end and carrying a plurality of sealing rings, and means to attach the closure to the bottle and to render the seals eflective.
Plastic centrifuge bottles are widely used and are satisfactory to the extent they can be sealed against leakage while their contents are being centrifuged. One particular problem is that even when the upper part of the bottle is rigidly held in a jacket and the closure seated by a cap threaded on the jacket in accordance with Patent No. 3,265,296, for example, the sealing means sometimes fail.
The particular objective of the present invention is to provide a closure-bottle construction providing a seal of substantially increased effectiveness. In accordance with the invention, this objective is attained by tapering the upper end portion of the inner surface of the bottle outwardly to the mouth thereof and by providing a closure in the form of a stopper tapering inwardly towards its mouth-entering end. The closure has a plurality of annular grooves each supporting a sealing ring, the sealing rings being brought into effective sealing relationship with the tapered portion of the bottle by closure attaching means attached to the bottle.
In the accompanying drawings, there is shown an illustrative embodiment of the invention from which these and other of its objectives, novel features, and advantages will be readily apparent.
In the drawings:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a centrifuge bottle in accordance with the invention, and the bottle-closing means therefor, the bottle-closing means being shown as detached from the bottle and its parts separated from each other.
FIGURE 2 is a vertically sectioned view on an increase in scale of the closure and of the upper part of the bottle, the closure being partly entered into the mouth of the bottle, and
FIGURE 3 is a view on the scale of FIGURE 2 but with the closure so clamped to the bottle as to render its sealing rings effective.
A centrifuge bottle is generally indicated at 5 and is shown 5 having a neck 6 provided with external threads 7 and establishing a shoulder 8. The bottle 5 has a relatively flexible wall structure as it is molded from a suitable plastic such, for example, as polyethylene, polypropylene, or a polycarbonate. As may best be seen in FIG- URES 2 and 3 the inner surface of the neck 6 is tapered outwardly as at 6A to the mouth 9 of the bottle 5.
A reinforcing jacket, generally indicated at 10 and preferably of metal, has a neck 11 formed with internal threads 12 and external threads 13, a portion 14 extending below the bottle shoulder 8 and an internal, intermediate shoulder 15 engagealble therewith. The internal threads 12 enable the jacket 10 to be threaded onto the bottle 5 until its shoulder 15 engages the shoulder 8, the
37,434,615 Patented Mar. 25, 1969 upper end of the jacket neck 11 then being below the mouth 9 of the bottle.
A closure, generally indicated at 16 and made of a suitable auto-claveable and clinically inert plastic, Delvin, a product of E. I. du Pont de Nemours: & Company, Inc., for example, includes a stopper portion 17 that is tapered inwardly towards its bottle-entering end. The stopper portion 17 has annular grooves 18 and 19 for the compressible sealing rings 20 and 21, respectively. The closure 16 also has a marginal flange 22 of a diameter greater than the inside diameter of the jacket neck 11 but less than the inside diameter of the generally indicated cap 23 which is interiorly threaded as at 24 for attachment to the jacket neck .11 and has an annular internal flange 25 engagea-ble with the closure flange 22 so that, as the cap 23 is threaded onto the jacket neck 11, the closure 16 will be securely seated.
It will be noted that the stopper portion 17 of the closure 16 is so dimensioned that its bottle-entering end is a free fit in the portion 6A of the bottle 5 and that when it has been advanced therein to an extent suitably compressing the sealing rings 20 and 21, the stopper portion 17 does not contact the portion 6A and the flange 22 does not engage the bottle mouth 9. Desirably, 'both the portion 6A and the portion 17 taper to the same degree, best results being obtained with a taper that is approximately 3 from the vertical.
With the construction provided by the invention the sealing rings 20 and 21 are compressed. approximately to the same extent with the ring 20 backing the sealing ring 21 and with the sealing ring 21 ensuring that the full pressure on it is not transferred to the sealing ring 20, even should leakage occur.
I claim:
1. In combination, a plastic centrifuge bottle, a portion of the inner surface of the bottle tapering outwardly to the mouth thereof, a closure in the form of a stopper tapering inwardly towards its mouth-entering end and having a plurality of grooves, 21 compressible sealing ring in each groove, and means to clamp said closure to the bottle, the axial extents of said bottle portion and of said stopper being such that said rings are compressed against said bottle portion when the closure is so clamped and the dimensions of the stopper being such that it is then substantially without contact with said bottle portion.
2. The combination of claim 1 in which the bottle has threads adjacent its mouth and the sealing rings are substantially in the zone of the threads.
3. The combination of claim 1 in which the taper of the bottle portion is approximately 3 4. The combination of claim 1 in which the taper of the bottle portion and of the stopper is approximately the same.
5. The combination of claim 1 in which the taper of the bottle portion and of the stopper is approximately 3.
6. The combination of claim 1 in which the closure includes a marginal flange dimensioned to overlie the mouth of the bottle.

Phil Emery Found His Head Coach, Now Needs to Find a New O-Line
At his press conference, Chicago Bears new head coach Marc Trestman noted that it is his job to keep quarterback Jay Cutler upright in the pocket.
From a scheming vantage point, he may be right, but it will be up to Phil Emery to find the right players to do the job.
The obvious option for Emery, a college scout in his previous life, will be to go through the NFL draft. The draft looks to be strong for both guards and tackles this year, so if Emery doesn't land a top name in free agency, his best option may be to draft prospects that can produce immediately.
Emery chose not to face the challenge of fixing the offensive line last year at draft time because they wouldn't get the value for the position where they were in the draft order. He said in his press conference at the end of the season that the unrestricted free agent pool wasn't very good last offseason either. Well this year's UFA is full of talented tackles.
Ryan Clady, Andre Smith, Jake Long, and Sebastian Vollmer, along with others, lead the class of free agent tackles. Clady, Smith, and Vollmer will probably be re-signed or franchised by their current teams.
Long is an intriguing name. A couple years ago, he was looked at as a franchise left tackle, but after a series of injuries, many experts aren't sure if he'll be the same. The Bears might be able to get him cheaper than if he was coming off a healthy season.
Other names on that free agent list to look for include Jermon Bushrod from the New Orleans Saints, Will Svitek from the Atlanta Falcons, and Minnesota Vikings Phil Loadholt.
The Bears have four offensive lineman that will be impending free agents, all of which saw time in the starting lineup: Jonathan Scott, Lance Louis, Chilo Rachal, and Chris Spencer. Scott is the only tackle of the bunch and saw time on the field late in the season when he replaced Gabe Carimi. As a free agent pick up, Emery likes Scott so he'll have a spot on the roster as a backup.
Of the three impending free agent guards, the only one that needs to be re-signed is Lance Louis. Louis was coming into his own early in the season and stood out in the coaching staff's eyes until he was placed on IR with a knee injury that ended his season.
Spencer and Rachal may still find a spot on this team when it's all said and done as backups because the free agent market isn't very good unlike at tackle. Buffalo Bills guard Andy Levitre heads the guard free agent class but there's a good chance he'll see the franchise tag this year. Carimi found himself at guard at points in the season, so unless he gets one more shot at tackle, he could be the starting guard opposite Louis.
Emery has a lot of work ahead of him in fixing this line. With the head coach in position, and most of the staff put together, he and Trestman can focus on the free agent market and the draft to make Trestman's "calendar" come true with a Super Bowl parade next February.

New answers tagged dragonvale
If you participated in, and perfected, the Star Fall event, you received a special reward building that raises the level limit on Epic dragons to level 15. It did not effect Gemstone dragons, so their limit remains level 10 regardless. Prior to this reward building, there was no way to raise the level limit of Epic dragons from the max level of 10.
To raise Epic dragons to level 15, you need to have completed the Star Fall event completely.

October 10, 2014 - Love this cup. Great quality and what a way to share a good cause!
September 2, 2013 - Honestly I have not used my cup yet. I use these cups everyday and throw away when too stained to keep. So saving this one! Gave other as gift. Thanks again!
June 24, 2013 - I was initially very pleased with my travel mug. However, with my first use it seems there was a leak/crack between the inner and outer walls of the mug. It sat overnight, about half full of water and in the morning the paw print paper between the inner and outer wall was coming apart and "floating" due to the water leaking between the walls of the mug. I'll continue to use the mug, but it's not nearly as pretty as it was when I first received it.
