Recent Hiking Short Reviews
Marmot Hayes Cargo Short
Decent hot weather hiking shorts. Wouldn't recommend them unless deeply discounted. The 34" waist was too small so I returned them for the 36" which I kept, but they are inconveniently too big. GREEN Olive. Full review
Kuhl Z Cargo Short
Pricey but very well made hiking shorts with thoughtfully designed pockets and waist size adjustment feature. You can tell the designers really did sweat the minor details of these shorts, thus the higher price. Wish list: Shorten the inseam and use a slightly heavier cloth so the fiddly inner sash button can be eliminated; add a couple more belt loops to the waist or perhaps make provisions for suspender buttons. I like both, the hanging hook loop sewn in next to the back belt loop and the alpine… Full review
RailRiders Jammin' Short
Best pair of shorts I have ever owned. Still wear two pairs that are 10+ years old and have hiked 500+ miles. These are the best all-purpose shorts I have ever owned. I rarely wear anything else. They are lightweight, comfortable, and extremely rugged. I have spent months at a time hiking/bushwhacking in just a single pair and the only hole they have is from a stray ember during a summer bonfire. The elastic waist makes them comfortable and they fit nicely on a variety of waist sizes. They dry super… Full review
Sierra Designs Dricanvas Short
These shorts have the pockets you need and the fit you want if you are serious about hiking and backpacking. They look nice, feel great, and are clearly designed with the backpacker in mind!! These shorts fit really well. They allow for a full athletic range of motion. When wearing a pack there is no abrasion or rubbing of any kind. I prefer a bottom layer to have belt loops instead of the integrated belts. I find the built in belts always get tangled and rarely remain tight. Adding my own webbing… Full review

It is soft and good quality material. True to size. It is soft and good quality material. True to size. Full review
Rockwater Designs Roanoke Shorts
The shorts are quick drying. I like the top of the knee length. Great for hiking. These shorts are serving me well as I hike for 2 to 8 hours each time I go hiking. I have recommended them to my fellow hikers who belong to Chebucto Hiking Club. Full review
Arc'teryx Rampart Short
These shorts are awesome! I own two pairs, but am seriously considering ordering other colors and getting rid of my other shorts. They're very lightweight, dry quickly, and fit my athletic build. I've never owned another pair of shorts that I love on a mountain or beach and look great out at dinner. 'nuff said. Full review
Mountain Hardwear Men's Canyon Short
These shorts by Mountain Hardwear are very lightweight and are made with comfortable material. You don't have to worry about what comes at you in these shorts because they are easy to move around in, are quick drying, and feature mesh draining panels in the pockets. These shorts are great for time on the trail or around the campsite, especially if you know that there is a good possibility you'll be swimming or getting wet. They are so lightweight, coming in at a whopping 7.9oz (size large) and are… Full review
Outdoor Research Women's Ferrosi Shorts
The most comfortable, versatile hiking shorts I own! I love these shorts! They are comfortable, lightweight, breathable, and look great on the trail! I've even had hikers stop me as we pass one another to ask where to get a pair for themselves. OR uses a combination of spandex and ripstop material in the construction of these soft shell shorts. As a result, they are durable, lightweight, and flexible. The material wicks moisture away. Wearing my Ferrosis, I've often dipped into trailside swimming… Full review

Twenty-three abused or neglected children currently in foster care in Yadkin County have no one representing their desires or looking for their best interests.
The Guardian ad Litem program in Yadkinville is seeking volunteers to become court-appointed child advocates.
"We have some wonderful local volunteers, but the need is greater than they can serve," said Cathy Davidson, the new local supervisor for Yadkin County's GAL program. "We need people from all walks of life to be the eyes and ears of the court and to give these children a voice in what is happening to them."
The local program especially needs men volunteers, Davidson said. Boys make up 61% of the children currently placed in the Department of Social Services' protection and Yadkin County has only one male volunteer.
Guardian ad Litems get to know the children, observe their situation and options, and report to the court their desires and best interests. They speak with parents, foster care givers, social workers, health-care providers, teachers, and others to be able to advocate for the child's welfare. Their reports help the judge make an informed decision about the child's future.
Anyone with the slightest flexibility in their daily schedules can easily volunteer as a GAL advocate, Davidson said.
For more information about volunteering, please call Cathy Davidson at 336-849-7409.

RRS Ernest Shackleton Research Ship Webcam
The webcam on RRS Ernest Shackleton is situated in the Conning Tower (see the Virtual Tour for an image of the Conning Tower). It generally looks forward, but if something of particular interest is going on, it may be moved to look aft or to either side. This is a particularly interesting webcam as (when not on long sea passages) the scenery changes regularly. During the Antarctic summer, it is possible to see stunning polar scenery, icebergs and mountains. During the Antarctic winter, the Shackleton undertakes survey work in the North Sea so you may catch a glimpse of an oil or gas platform. It updates approximately once every hour.

ERIE, PA – Penn State Behrend used a big second half spurt to capture a 70-21 Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference victory over visiting Hilbert College in women's basketball December 7. Julie Bossard scored 8 points and 2 blocks and Katie Newton pulled down 7 rebounds in the Hawks loss. Behrend's Julia Myers earned 10 points/14 rebounds to lead four players in double digit scoring as the Lions secured their third AMCC win in as many tries.
After Behrend built a 6-0 advantage, Jenah Labuski broke the ice for the Hawks off a pass from Kateland Ball. At 12:39, Sarah Lorusso hit two free throws to make it a two point game (6-4) and after Bossard put a the ball through the net three minutes later, the Hawks completed their first half scoring. With Hilbert's eight percent field goal shooting, Behrend took a 25-6 half time lead to the locker room.
During the second twenty minutes, Hilbert warmed up from the floor making 30% of their shots, but Behrend also took it up a notch shooting 56% from the floor (44% from long distance). Bossard was three for five from the floor earning six points in the second stanza to lead the Hawks.
Behrend scored 37 points off turnovers and held a 46-32 rebounding advantage.
Hilbert returns home December 10 for their next AMCC contest against Pitt-Greensburg (2-6, 1-2) at 4pm.

Most new mothers worry about the idea of nursing in public. While we at Bebe au Lait believe women should have the right to nurse in any place where they see fit, there are a surprising number of people and organizations that do not share this belief. Most of these anti public breastfeeding arguments boil down to the fact that the breast is exposed, and as such, can be considered offensive. The voices on the other side of the argument deny these claims, and of course have several arguments to counter the anti public breastfeeding movement.
Let's take a quick look at these arguments:
Anti-Public Breastfeeding Movement says:
- Breastfeeding requires baring a breast, and as such, can be considered offensive.
- Breastfeeding releases bodily fluids, and is not appropriate for the public.
- Breastfeeding attracts too much (wrong) attention.
Pro-Public Breastfeeding Movement says:
- Because it is essential to nurse a baby several times throughout the day, it is not always practical to nurse in private.
- Private spaces (such as bathrooms) are not always clean and comfortable, or even set up properly to allow women to breastfeed.
- The breast is not exposed during breastfeeding, as the baby usually covers the nipple, areola, and lower portion of the breast.
- Babies have the civil right to be fed when necessary, and mothers have a civil right to provide breast milk to their babies whenever necessary.
- Women should not be ashamed of breastfeeding, or the attraction it creates.
- The law is mostly on our side.
We have now seen both sides of the argument, and you probably already know what side you're on. Let's take a look at the legal side of the argument, and more specifically the laws governing public breastfeeding.
In general, the law is on the side of women who choose to breastfeed in public. However, here are some important facts to consider:
Private property is different from public property. In other words, owners of private property have the right to decide what appropriate behavior on their own property is. Because of this, some businesses have been known to deny women the right to nurse on their property. Always be respectful of a private property's owner's policies on breastfeeding.
Nursing in public is likely to draw attention to you at some point. Please understand that some people have strong opinions about this practice, and by breastfeeding in public, you may be subject to negative reactions, comments, or stares.
In many cases, the argument against public breastfeeding is nullified if some sort of cover-up is introduced. You will find that businesses are much less likely to have a problem with you breastfeeding on their premises if you cover up. In addition, you will likely receive fewer negative reactions and fewer stares if you cover up.
For a detailed summary of the laws in place governing public breastfeeding, please click over to the National Conference of State Legislatures' page about the 50 states' specific breastfeeding laws.
If you do choose to nurse in public, let's take a look at some courtesies and solutions you can extend to those around you while engaging in public breastfeeding.
- Please try to be discreet in public. While we believe in a woman's right to decide how much (or how little) to cover during nursing, many people do not share the same view. It does not help our position if we offend the people we are trying to convince.
- If nursing on private property, please ensure it is OK with the owners or managers of the property. If you happen to be a patron at a business, please be respectful of the policies in place. However, don't forget about your own position! Make it known that you have no intention of returning or referring your friends to a business that discriminates against you choosing to breastfeed on their property.
- Try to avoid arguing with people who take offense to breastfeeding in public, as it will likely anger the offended person, upset your baby, and do nothing for your cause.
Our Bebe au Lait nursing covers are excellent solutions for women who wish to breastfeed in public without exposing the breast to people in the vicinity. Even some of the anti-public breastfeeding crowd has embraced our nursing covers as a solution for mothers who wish to nurse in public.
We have a wide variety of designs available under two brand names: Bebe au Lait, and Hooter Hiders.

Yes No
Olive Leaf Heaven!
I've used this scent and this product for years and when I need a relaxing soak to soothe away a tough day, long bike ride or feel calmed...this is it! This is my time, my bath and I'm centered and content afterward.
My first Thymes love
Olive Leaf was the first Thymes scent I fell in love with years ago... then there was Fig and Cassis; but that relationship was doomed due to cancelation. There were many other wonderful Thymes after; but there is nothing like your first love. I forgot how much I love Olive Leaf! The beautiful scent lingers and even blends well when I wash my hands with Fraiser Fir hand soap in the kitchen. Olive Leaf, (all in the line), is a warm coming home to a renewed love.
Lovely aroma
This is my favorite fragrance from Thymes. The bubbles are not so overblown that you can't enjoy a soothing bath but there are plenty of them. Water feels silky on my skin.
Beyond relaxing - enjoyable
Just what I needed - relaxing but going further. The fragance has low and medium notes. Stays with you long after you are finished with your bath. This is definitely a keeper.

Java The 58 Reviews
write your own review
i have smoke many and i found that this is the best i have had great taste very smooth no other words to add !!!!!
i have smoke many and i found that this is the best i have had great taste very smooth no other words to add !!!!!
My new favorite smoke. I lie the big ring size especially
I loved the smaller sized versions of this cigar, so I figured I'd give the big ring gauge a try to see if there's more complexity. There isn't. That's not to say it wasn't good, it was very good. But it tasted off to me, a flavor that the smaller robusto and corona don't have. It also got very warm half way through, and too hot with almost two inches left. I had to put it down because it was burning my tongue. I even used a punch to try and slow down the burn. It had a VERY loose draw. Overall it was a good smoke, but I'll be sticking to my favorite size: the robusto.
Good surprise.....should of keyed into the java thing......great taste. Beautiful smoke, even burn and lots of smoke
Ordered the five pack of the 58, totally enjoyed this cigar. I plan on ordering a box. Highly recommend the 58.
Prior to cutting and lighting, this cigar is quite attractive both in smell and appearance. Nice mocha notes are quite easy to pick up. However, the 58 ring gauge makes this slightly too big for most cutters and you can easily end up with having the wrapper unravel on you while you are smoking it. Burn was slightly uneven but the draw was consistent from start to finish. I like the idea but for me, the 58 is just too fat. Go for the 50 Corona version of this smoke.
While the few I've tried have had issues with the wrapper (cap falls apart after punching, some minor unraveling), the taste and smoothness more than makes up for those minor annoyances. Definitely worth trying a sampler, at least.
Have a humidor full of nice cigars, yet keep smoking these. Just ordered another box.
My only experience with Maduro cigars so far has been the Java Drew Estate Maduro which I love. It has that wonderful coco/coffee essence and is perfect for having after a great dinner. The burn is easy and even, the smoke is medium and it taste nice on your lips. I?m making the Java Drew Estate Maduro my number one favorite cigar and will be buying these cigars by the box.

Step 1: Removing the flint and disassembling your zippo
Step 2: Taking apart your dead BIC
Also, remove the saftey if you have one.
you can do both of these steps with a pair of needle nose pliers.
just grab, twist, and pull. both should come off fairly easily.
next, put the lighter in a clear plastic bag.
the lighter is spring loaded and if you don't take it apart in a clear plastic bag,
the parts wil fly out and be lost forever.
through the bag, grab the wheel with a pair of pliers.
carefully pull it to on side. after one side of the rod holding it in pops out,
it should come out easily. as soon as the wheel is removed,
the flint and spring will shoot out. the spring is about and inch to an inch and half long. the flint is about 3/32" in diameter.
Step 3: Cutting down the flint
it should look something like this.
you will have a dead lighter body, spring, wheel, sheild, and flint.
the only thing you will need for this project is the flint.
place the flint in a pair of wire cutters, (usually found on needle nose pliers.)
put the pliers back inside the clear plastic bag.
you will be cutting the flint in half (length wise) becusae it is about twice as long
as it needs to be. the purpose of the bag is to prevent the flint from shooting across the room. next, simply cut the flint in half.
gas and fuel are different things
Google it!
hey this is not new to me but i thank u for the step by steps but how do or can i take the fluid out the bic and other lighters mto use in my zippo?
brother that was such a simple, well explained vid...i knew basically what 2 do, but i just hadnt thought if it til' i say your vid.
well done brother...& thanks.
Instead of needle nose pliers, I used tweezers, and it works perfectly! Thank you so much!
I've done this many times in a pinch, but I must say the Bic flints do not work as well as real Zippo flints. Only real zippo flints work like they're supposed to. These will do the job, but not as well, plan on many strikes to get it lit. If you ever look closely in comparison, you'll notice Zippo flints are a silver color. I think they have more to them than just flint material. Ronson flints don't work as well, neither does their fuel. Why, I don't know but having tried them all over the years, the fact is Zippo stuff works best with their style lighters. I've taken the flints out of other kinds of lighters too, it does work, just not as well as the real deal.
Save the spring as well, it can be used to replace a broken or damaged one. Needs cutting to do so, but will work.
Most places that carry lighters carry the real deal zippo flints. Try the name brand sometime, especially with the real Zippo fluid. I get the one flick lights.
Zippo brand flints and wick are relatively cheap here in Ireland; 1 euro to a 1.50 for a pack or five or six flints and the same for a replacement wicks i haven't yet need to replace the felt in a lighter but it should be around the same price
A second unrelated problem that will effect the ability of Zippo lighting on the first strike is that the wick in the lighter may not be of good quality, this is common in second hand or found lighters where at some point the wick from a cheep oil lighter was used as a replacement for the original Zippo at some point. The only good long lasting solution for this is to get a Zippo brand replacement, in my experience only use the Zippo brand, other wick use synthetic fibers that that almost always burn away to nothing but the copper wire. Buy once and buy right and you wont need to worry about your Zippo's wick for a long time

Forbes Names Willamette's MBA Program One of Top in Nation
Willamette's Atkinson Graduate School of Management has been named to Forbes magazine's "Best Business Schools" list for 2009. The rankings, which recognize the top 75 schools in the U.S., are based on each program's return on investment to graduates.
Willamette is the highest-ranked program in Oregon and one of only three programs in the Northwest to make the list. Business schools across the U.S. are ranked on career services, placement rates and pre- and post-MBA salary levels.
In addition, the Princeton Review in Entrepreneur magazine ranked the Willamette MBA Program as one of the nation's top 15 graduate schools for preparing students for careers in marketing. The ranking, based on a survey of 19,000 students worldwide, determines which schools best prepare students to become entrepreneurs. Atkinson was also recognized by the Beyond Grey Pinstripes survey, which named it one of the top 100 MBA programs in the country for environmental responsibility and stewardship.
The Atkinson Graduate School of Management is accredited with the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the premier accrediting agency of collegiate business schools and accounting programs worldwide. Atkinson is also a member of the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA).
"The Forbes ranking is an outstanding achievement for our school, our faculty and our graduates," says Debra Ringold, dean and JELD-WEN Professor of Free Enterprise. "We are pleased to be honored as the highest-ranked school in the state of Oregon and as one of the most elite management programs in the country."
"The Forbes survey speaks to the quality of our program and is evidence that Willamette MBA graduates experience a high return on their educational investment. Our program prepares them for meaningful and successful careers."
Full-time students choose a five-year BA/MBA, two-year Early Career MBA or MBA for Career Change, or a four-year MBA/JD. An MBA for Professionals program in Salem or Portland is available for working professionals. The Executive Development Center offers non-degree programs and certificates for executives and managers. Certificates are offered in Sustainable Enterprise Development, Public Management, Utility Management, Social Entrepreneurship, Social Action Research, and Transit and Community Transportation Management.

Week Seven confirmed a lot of what we knew about this area's high school football teams.
Strom Thurmond is still the strongest team in our area, and the Rebels are probably among the strongest in the state. Williston-Elko is the class of Region 4-A until someone proves otherwise, as is Silver Bluff in Region 5-AA.
After a surprising loss to Sumter a couple weeks back, North Augusta established itself at the top of Region 5-AAA with a resounding win over Lexington. Fox Creek reminded us all how good its offense can look and how bad North can look. Aiken lost, but the Hornets showed some fire by coming from behind to send their game against White Knoll into two overtimes.
With all the teams moving into the crucial region portions of their schedules, seven players stepped up to claim a portion of the spotlight.
TREY MORGAN, ATH North Augusta
Morgan did a little bit of everything in the Yellow Jackets' 44-6 win over Lexington. He ran for two touchdowns, threw for 33 yards and another score and caught three passes for 42 yards while also starting in the secondary.
TRIB REECE, QB North Augusta
The sophomore continued to show his brilliance with a rushing touchdown to go with a 9-for-11 passing night for 255 yards and two touchdowns, one for 45 yards and the other for 81 yards.
AARON COOK, OLB Strom Thurmond
Cook was dominant in the Rebels' 41-6 win over region foe Airport. The senior made several tackles, broke up a few passes and returned an interception 8 yards for a touchdown.
SHAQUEZ WRIGHT, RB Silver Bluff
Wright has proven to be one of the backs in our area capable of monster rushing nights, and he had one in Friday's 35-7 win over Wade Hampton. The junior had 191 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries.
JARIUS JENKINS, RB Williston-Elko
Jenkins maintained his spot among the area's top performers in the Blue Devils' 50-0 win over H-K-T Friday, rushing for 174 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries. He also went over the 1,000-yard mark and is nearing 20 rushing touchdowns for the year.
BRANDON GLADNEY, WR Fox Creek
The Predators ran away with a 48-12 win over North, and Gladney was a driving force in that. He had 29 rushing yards and a touchdown on three carries, caught a pass for 12 yards and returned a punt 50 yards for another score.
NAKEEM SPANN, QB Aiken
The Hornets lost 28-27 in two overtimes to White Knoll, but not before they put on a spirited comeback. In his first start at quarterback, Spann completed three of his 11 pass attempts for 20 yards, but he ran 17 times for 72 yards and three touchdowns in the game.

CppUnit is the C++ port of the famous JUnit framework for unit testing.
Test output is in XML or text format for automatic testing and GUI based for supervised tests.
User Ratings
User Reviews
CppUnit is the unit test framework used by LibreOffice and now maintained at FreeDesktop, (http:/) /www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/cppunit/ See also (http:/) /lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2013-October/056919.html That FreeDesktop version (1.13.0 and newer) is also packed by several Linux distributions, Debian, Ubuntu, Arch.
@ml8: I tend to agree that cppunit seems to be rather outdated (and doesn't appear to be maintained, either), so, please, what (VisualStudio-friendly) alternative(s) do you recommend, i.e., find more "current"? Thanks!
In the last few days, I successfully integrated the 1.12.1 into NetBeans 7.4 on Mac OS X Mavericks. Keep in mind that the Apple Developer download for command line tools has to be obtained prior to building the cppunit libraries. The clang++ compiler has been used to do this. A few minutes spent reviewing the INSTALL text file helped guide how to set the CC and CXX environment variables appropriately. I have written a reply to a discussion board post that details the process more.
Not really up to date with features needed for modern C++ development.
The CppUnit library is great. I wanted to see my CppUnit testing results integrated with the official Eclipse CDT C/C++ Unit Testing Support similar to other C/C++ testing frameworks... So I created an Eclipse plugin to support vanilla CppUnit XML Test Reports with the official Eclipse CDT C/C++ Unit Testing Support plugin. I have made it available as a SourceForge project: eclipsecppunit My hope is that others will find it useful too!

Guide to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of conditions from A to Z.
Respiration is the act of breathing:
Inhaling (inspiration). The act of breathing in oxygen.
Exhaling (expiration). The act of breathing out carbon dioxide.
The respiratory system is made up of the organs involved in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, and consists of the:
Pharynx (throat)
Larynx (voice box)
Trachea (windpipe)
Bronchi (large airways)
The upper respiratory tract includes the:
Nasal cavity
The lower respiratory tract includes the:
Bronchi and bronchioles
Alveoli (air sacs)
The lungs take in oxygen, which the body's cells need to live and carry out their normal functions. The lungs also get rid of carbon dioxide, a waste product of the cells.
The lungs are a pair of cone-shaped organs made up of spongy, pinkish-gray tissue. They take up most of the space in the chest, or the thorax.
The lungs are surrounded by a membrane called the pleura.
The lungs are separated from each other by the mediastinum, an area that contains the following:
Heart and its large vessels
Thymus gland
Lymph nodes
The right lung has three sections, called lobes. The left lung has two lobes. When you breathe, the air:
Enters the body through the nose or the mouth
Travels down the throat through the larynx (voice box) and trachea (windpipe)
Goes into the lungs through tubes called main-stem bronchi:
One main-stem bronchus leads to the right lung and one to the left lung
In the lungs, the main-stem bronchi divide into smaller bronchi
And then into even smaller tubes called bronchioles
Bronchioles end in tiny air sacs called alveoli

Students in the Residential College get academic credit for their active and successful participation in the life of the community. The Residential College experience will be reflected on the student's official academic transcript as a zero or one credit, pass/fail "Leadership Course" each semester they live in the College. This gives each participant tangible, recorded proof of their engagement in the community and of their personal development as a leader/scholar through the program (all highly preferred accomplishments of future applicants for graduate schools and prestigious awards and scholarships). While there are many perks to being in the Residential College, receiving academic credit for successfully committing to this experience is one of the most important rewards for this unique type of commitment.
In order to receive a passing grade for the Residential College, students have to be in "Good Standing" with the program. What Good Standing means will vary slightly depending on whether you're in Goddard or Broome and whether you're doing the experience for zero or one credit; each community structures its requirements a little differently to meet the developmental needs of the students that reside in each building.
In general for either Goddard or Broome, being in "Good Standing" means that a student is an active member of the Residential College community and regularly attends and participates in Stream programs and Faculty-Fellow events, in addition to general, more "social" (non-Stream) activities in the College. Because the Residential College community places high value on giving back to the community, being in Good Standing also involves completing community service requirements. To learn what the specific requirements are for Goddard and Broome, refer to your building's syllabus that was given to you by your RA at your first floor meeting (and emailed to you by the RHD at the beginning of the semester). If you need another copy of the syllabus, email the RHD: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Being in Good Standing with the College at the end of each semester will result in a grade of "P" for Pass; not being in Good Standing will result in a grade of "F" for Fail. Students who fail Residential College will not be permitted to return to the College the following academic year.
Residential College students can supplement their "Good Standing" status by becoming actively involved in their building's Hall Council, Broome Goddard Community Group, or by otherwise simply being active and visible in Stream, Faculty-Fellow, and other hall programs/activities. It's easy, enjoyable, and rewarding to get involved, so in theory it should be easy for students to pass Residential College.
*Note, while exceeding minimum expectations and otherwise being very involved won't impact your grade of "P," it will affect your priority in the Residential College room selection process.
Students are evaluated by a combination of the Faculty and Staff of their Residential College building. It's important to emphasize getting to know the Faculty and Staff of the College; the better they know you, the more likely they can accurately and comprehensively evaluate your completion of requirements and overall contribution to the Residential College community.
The requirements for passing Residential College are decided upon by a combination of the Faculty, Staff and students. Student feedback plays an important role in determining what the requirements will be each year. The student-run Hall Councils provide the forum for feedback on the requirements and grading process. At the Residential College, student input is highly encouraged. Students wishing to have a say in this, or other Residential College processes, should get involved with Hall Council.

Principal Staff:
Joan Wages, President
Ann E. W. Stone, Secretary

Alicia Masse, Treasurer
Type of Organization: National Grassroots/Advocacy/Education
Founded: 1996
Mission Statement:
NWHM affirms the importance of an accurate and complete understanding of the past. The museum will use innovative and engaging means to communicate the breadth of women´s experiences and accomplishments to the widest possible audience to foster greater partnership between men and women.
The National Women's History Museum (NWHM) was organized to help mainstream Women's History into the culture. Our first organizing event was our successful campaign to move the Portrait Monument (statue given by the suffragists to the US Congress in 1920 to commemorate the passage of the 19th amendment) which had been stuck in the Crypt of the Capitol for 76 years. There had been at least 5 attempts to move it during that time. It actually took longer to move the Statue than to get the right to vote (72 years) that it commemorated!! While we continue to pursue a site on or near the National Mall we have developed a sophisticated CyberMuseum complete with an ever growing group of CyberExhibits which have been used as teaching tools worldwide. We believe the more women and men know about the full and real contributions that women have made in history that there well may be a positive ripple effect on women's rights and their well-being in general.
It is our hope that even the oppression of women will be changed for the better as the view of, and attitude towards, women is impacted by the shock of all the information that we did not know of women's roles in the past!
Subject Expertise:
Women's history
Annual Meetings/Conferences:
Annual meeting of the Council of Advisors and Council of Advocates, Bi-yearly (minimum) meetings of the National Coalition

Did this inbetween the last post and shopping
C&C always welcome
Hello Jen! Your canoeing sketch would make a nice painting and I wish I was floating down a lazy river today. The lake here is frozen now & today it's full of ice fishermen!
Sarah ~ Another great wildlife WC. I like how you have painted a circle of light. Your effects with scraping to the white look wonderful!
Comments and critiques are welcome.
Hi Claudia! Your two WCs of the totems & the horse are both very nice. I esp. like the look of frozen icicles or snow in the horse's mane. Maybe you shouldn't have cut his nose off but I know it was just a quick painting, so NO WORRIES!
Kim T (Kim513)
C&C welcome!
Here is this week's breakfast work.(I'm sick of winter so no snow paintings at the moment) I tweaked them a little after work too. These are all done with a brush only in wc on a postcard size Canson wc paper 140 lb. Any future wc paintings with a subject of water as the composition are probably going to need to go on 200lb at least paper as I use a lot of water and on a light 140 lb. paper I end up with damage to the paper before I am ready to stop work. I have a long weekend so I will catch up with all of your paintings and comments this weekend. I see there are some new people so, welcome to all of you.
Catherine Brown
C&C's are welcome.
(No digital alterations please)
I noticed that dark green shadow to the right of the surfers head was a bit distracting so I went in and lightened it up a bit. It looks a little better but again, the paper has reached it's limit so I can only make corrections up to a point.
Hello to all who commented on my red barn/deer...thank you for taking the time to do so.
Kim...no, not this one. I have painted many other 'deer' scenes which I have used as cards which you may have seen before.
Jen....make sure your people aren't too large for the kayak and the water level ........even if it is slightly rippling due to the kayak's forward motion.
Claudia.......colourful totems and I agree with what has been said about the horse.
Cathy...agree with you...tropical makes a change! Why don't you stretch your lightweight paper or don't you have the time? Because I use a lot of water I use gummed blocks.......as you probably know they come in all sizes.
feel free to make constructive c/c...no digital alterations please
Hi Sarah...I do have a couple of boards of stretched paper I made up last weekend but one (140lb.) has a drawing on it now that I'm going to work on this weekend and the other one is 90lb. 27x19 inch on a really heavy 1/2 inch thick board that is going to need to go on my easel. The three little paintings were done on a gummed block and buckling wasn't an issue at all. In all honesty, the problem was me trying to rewet areas too much in order to keep trying to correct mistakes and going at it like I had a pick axe in my hand instead of a rigger brush.
Hello Cathy,
thanks for the info. appreciate it
Some of my paintings take a long time (eg the wooden eagle) simply because of the number of washes I do...it is the waiting time in between... to make sure each layer is bone dry before I lift off colour or apply another layer. I'm sure you know that and I can understand your impatience to finish a piece of work especially if hard pressed for time..
your beach, vacation scenes are very nice. I can't say if I like one more. They
all have a special story to tell. The first one with the hedge looks the most
difficult to me. Nice shading. The second one, the palm trees are moving in the ocean breeze
and it seems that the viewer can feel the breeze the surfer has quite a surf on
the beach.
Thank you,
Nealey, Kim and Sarah for you C/C. I appreciate your input. My intension
(forgot to mention this), was that I wanted to do a loose W/C with the winter
feeling. I wanted to have the nose of the horse disappear behind its breath.
Didn't work that well! Maybe I should have left more white space. Or how would
I make the breath more visable?
Yes, the spot
in the middle of the head of the reverence photo was pretty dark, but Kim your
right it leads your eye away from the horses eye.
Here is another
W/C I did a while ago. I always liked it. It shows a winter scene at our house.
One problem
and I don't know if I can fix it, it's the river. It goes up to high. It should
turn earlier. I would like to change it since it always bothered me.
Claudia, lots of colour and characters in your West Coast totem poles. I looked at all the different characters and there are several birds maybe a raven and a raptor also people eating fish as the natives on the West Coast did. I like that you placed them in a scene with some greenery that looks good with the colours on the poles. I really like your horse portrait, his eyes are great. The horses hair is all laying the way it should and his mane with the ice is very nice. Lovely background colours.
Bonnie C & C most welcome / appreciated
Catherine, your three paintings are so nice and warm. You have captured the warm sun and the breeze off the ocean. I think the first one with the hedge, palms and resort in the background would be hard to do, your shading is great and brings the painting to life. The palm trees are blowing in the breeze and the grass umbrellas are shaded nicely, a wonderful ocean feel to it. Your surfer looks brave heading into the surf. I like all the colours in the waves. I think there are lots of colours in water. Everyone here are making plans for their winter getaways to the sunny south, trying to find the best deals in their favorite locations, lots go for the entire winter and working people usually take a week or two. Your three paintings make me wish I was going.
Claudia, you live in a beautiful area and I can understand why you like this painting, it is very nice. I especially like the sky with the birds flying. I'm not experienced enough to help with your inquiry about the river. This has lovely colours as well.
Claudia...If this were mine I would just leave it and paint a second one. I see what you're saying about the river being to high in relation to the land but the overall feeling is so wonderful and the colors are just stunning that trying to repair it after the fact may ruin it. The geese and foreground are the focus really and they are so well done added with those beautiful blues and the distant structure along the skyline, it's really a very beautiful watercolor. Just paint a second one and make a point of using perspective lines to establish the distance. :)

Hiring demands
If you are a felon, you can't have any firearms whatsoever, or it's five years in federal prison. A felony is a serious crime, characterized under federal law and many state statutes as any offense punishable by death or imprisonment in excess of one year. I do agree with second chances. Felons should be considered for hire. I would hire a qualified one immediately, but a law demanding the hiring of felons is too much. Sorry, we just can't go down that road. How about a law demanding the hiring of veterans, our true down-to-Earth warriors?
I would like to thank the driver's who were so patient with me when made an error. I wasn't on the phone, I just made a mistake.
Fair trade
About guns. When the man who protects the president gives up his guns, then the man who protects my family will give up his.
Grave cleaning
This is to the person requesting help to cleaning the Confederate ancestor's grave. Call 648-6072, and I will talk to you about cleaning your Confederate ancestor's grave.
I got a comment back to an article in TalkBack called "Spankings." I don't know – you rambled and what you wrote back. I never even mentioned guns. When I was talking about getting spanked, I was talking about disciplining children. So, you know, you're confused. You're the type of person who doesn't need a gun.
Not in our interest
How would we have known that the federal government went over the fiscal cliff? It does so little for the people anyway. Since politicians learned how to get their hands on the till and pad their own pockets, the government has done increasingly less and less for the working people. They silence an increasing number with handouts and they don't ever hear what the working people who are contributing really want.
Passing lane
Yes, pulling off would not be a good idea if you truly are driving the speed limit. If someone passes you, then they are breaking the law. However, my beef is with people driving in the passing lane. The left-hand lane is for passing or turning left only. If you are in the passing lane and are impeding the flow of traffic, you can be pulled over even if you are doing the speed limit. So stay out of the passing lane unless you are passing or turning left.

Test ID: DIA
Diazepam and Nordiazepam, Serum
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Assessing compliance
Monitoring for appropriate therapeutic level
Assessing toxicity
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Benzodiazepine compounds, of which diazepam is a prototype, are widely used as antianxiety, hypnotic, and muscle relaxant agents. Diazepam (Valium) also is frequently used to treat status epilepticus, which is a state of rapidly recurring convulsive seizures that will not respond immediately to conventional anticonvulsant therapy. Although diazepam has been the benzodiazepine of choice for status epilepticus, recent evidence indicates that other drugs may be more beneficial because they provide longer control of seizures and produce less cardiorespiratory depression. Patients develop tolerance to diazepam, which requires that they be converted to phenobarbital or phenytoin within 24 to 48 hours of seizure control with diazepam.
Diazepam is administered intravenously or intramuscularly at a dose of 10 to 20 mg in adults to control recurrent seizures. It is rapidly absorbed, reaching peak plasma concentrations in 1 hour. Drug elimination follows a biphasic pattern with a rapid phase of 2 to 3 hours followed by a slow decay with a half-life of 2 to 8 days. After steady-state concentrations are achieved (in about a week), a half-life of 3 to 4 days is found. Diazepam has a volume of distribution of 1.1 L/kg, a half-life of 48 hours, and is 99% protein bound in serum.
Nordiazepam is the major metabolite of diazepam, tranxene, and prazepam, and can be differentiated from other benzodiazepines by gas-liquid chromatography. Nordiazepam has a blood half-life of 4 to 5 days.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Therapeutic concentrations
Diazepam: 0.2-0.8 mcg/mL
Nordiazepam: 0.2-1.0 mcg/mL
Total of both: 0.4-1.8 mcg/mL
Toxic concentration
Total of both: > or =5.0 mcg/mL
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
For seizures:
Serum concentrations are not usually monitored during early therapy because response to the drug can be monitored clinically as seizure control. If seizures resume despite adequate therapy, another anticonvulsant must be considered.
For antianxiety and other uses:
-Therapeutic concentrations of diazepam are 0.2 to 0.8 mcg/mL
-After a normal dose of diazepam, tranxene, or prazepam, nordiazepam concentrations range from 0.4 to 1.2 mcg/mL
-Sedation occurs when the total benzodiazepine concentration is >2.5 mcg/mL
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
No significant cautionary statements
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

I was lucky enough to receive yarn for both projects from a couple of dear friends. Above is Sundara Yarn in dahlia, that I received from Melana back in December. This yarn has been calling my name ever since. I had never knit with sundara yarns, and wow is it ever lovely. A basic cast on of 64 stitches with a baby cable pattern.
Kim sent the ONline Linie 194 Solo yarn for a sweet scarf for Libby. Oodles, and oodles of soft little ruffles.
I had the hardest time getting started. I still am not positive that I am doing it correctly, but there really is no more time to waste. The end of this month marks the end of this triad of project spectrum. The scarf should be easy to complete, but the socks? I am going to give it my best shot.

'Fun on wheels' is motto of Central Classic CarsWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | email@example.com
Part showroom and part working garage, Central Classic Cars is run by three area car enthusiasts who like to have "fun on wheels."
The shop, at 8444 Central Ave. in Sylvania, opened in January. Owners Chuck Putsch and John Coppus of Tiffin and Ken Wise of Sylvania have been friends for decades. They buy, sell, repair and restore classic cars and are in the process of expanding the business, adding a second building and more equipment for body work.The shop deals almost exclusively in classic cars and most of the vehicles are convertibles, Putsch said.
"Convertibles are fun things. Everybody loves them," Putsch said. "You park this [restored turquoise 1955 Ford Thunderbird] outside and people will stop just to look at it. As soon as I have cars parked out in the grass on Central and the flags out front here and cars parked out front, it's like a magnet. It brings people in. I have people who come in just to look around and see what we're doing. So it's a place to hang out."
Also on display in the shop is a 1931 Studebaker Commander owned by Coppus' grandfather and two 1958 BMW Isettas, tiny two-seaters resembling today's smart cars. A 1965 Ford Econoline pickup truck is another vehicle that draws a lot of attention, Putsch said.
Putsch, who owns a 1961 Morgan, is a retired golf professional for whom cars have been a hobby for years.
"Cars were always a hobby, my interest away from golf, and I've done that forever," Putsch said. "I have the opportunity to drive all sorts of cars in this business. It's kind of a car guy's dream."
Coppus is president and owner of Coppus Motors in Tiffin, a third-generation family-owned business started by his grandfather in 1926 and the oldest operating Mercedes-Benz dealership in the country.
"The sales part is really fun. We get to meet a lot of really neat, interesting people," Coppus said. "I think the business is kind of unique. I don't think there are many around doing what we are doing."
Wise is a partner at Findlay/Wise Wealth Management and an avid car collector.
"Ever since I could drive, I've loved cars," Wise said. "I have cars that are slow and cars that are really fast. I'm attracted to their aesthetic quality. I like to look at them as much as I like driving them. You could hang them on a wall."
Of the three owners, Wise is perhaps the most passionate about cars, Putsch said.
"He lives and breathes cars," Putsch said. "It's not even a hobby; cars are a passion for him."
The shop is decorated with pennants, neon signs and other memorabilia.
"My grandfather was one of the first import dealers and, being a dealership as long as we have, we have a lot of memorabilia. So it was an opportunity for us to display it and it makes for a classy showroom," Coppus said.
A series of hanging murals featuring race cars, classic cars and driving scenes cover the walls. Customers can order murals, including vintage photos or photos of their own vehicles, to decorate their home garages.
"It's kind of that really friendly, 'car-guy' atmosphere where it's a hangout more than it is a business you might say," Putsch said. "People are excited when they come here. This is a place where they come to enjoy themselves and enjoy the whole experience. It's a different atmosphere (than a dealership). We have unique things and it's more like myself and another person getting together and talking cars and having a good time doing it. We want them to feel comfortable here, comfortable with us, so they'll be a long-term customer and friend, so they can come by just to see what's new and talk a little bit, talk cars."Space will soon double after construction of a second 5,000-sqaure-foot building is complete. The new space will serve as a showroom, allowing the current space, now divided between a shop and a showroom, to be used exclusively as a shop.
Central Classic Cars recently acquired some shop equipment, including a paint booth, from Vintage Restoration, a nearby car and motorcycle restoration business.
Its owner, Tom Bibish, decided to return to teaching and limit his business to vintage motorcycles by appointment. For more information, contact him at (419) 205-0796 or visit Vintage Restoration on Facebook.
"It was a good business. We had a lot of fun, made some good money, met a lot of new people and supported local business, but it was just getting to be too much because I couldn't find qualified help," Bibish said. "We just had so much work and you don't want to let quality suffer just to get the job done. Those guys there [at Central Classic Cars], they are good car guys and I think everything's going to be fine. It worked out well for everyone and I feel real good about it."
Putsch said his favorite part of the job is the search for cars.
"It's like fishing; you just never know what you're going to pull out," Putsch said.
Talking to car enthusiasts is also enjoyable, Wise said.
"The best thing about cars is you just meet lots of wonderful people," Wise said. "I've been all over the country going to car shows and you might not like the kind of cars I like, but there's that common passion. That's the one thing I can say about cars. It's a wonderful social thing. You get to meet a lot of really, really neat people. We have a lot of fun and we're just trying to do something that's a little bit different. For me, it's a hobby business. I'm not in it so much to make money as just to satisfy a fix. It's just fun. We're all having a blast."

Wednesday, October 9, 2013
State Senator Larry Grooms didn't mince words when asked if Berkeley County should be worried about a possible secession of Daniel Island into Charleston County.
Speaking near the end of the Berkeley County Legislative Delegation meeting in Moncks Corner on the night of Oct. 3, Grooms was frank.
"Anytime a group of people feel let down and betrayed by their government enough to want to leave it and join somebody else, it's a problem, and Daniel Island is a significant problem for Berkeley County," he said.
The BCLD consists of area state senators and representatives that represent Berkeley County. They include delegation chairman Rep. Joe Daning, vice chairman Sen. Paul Campbell, Grooms, Sen. John Matthews, Sen. Yancey McGill, Sen. Sean Bennett, Rep. Jim Merrill, Rep. Eddy Southard, Rep. Joe Jefferson, Rep. Bill Crosby and Rep. Samuel Rivers.
Seven of the 11 senators and representatives met in Moncks Corner during the delegation's tour of Berkeley County.
"We meet on an as-needed basis," Daning said. "Usually when a commission or board appointment is necessary. We try to schedule the meetings in and around Berkeley County to keep in touch with the issues and the people we represent."
In other delegation business, the delegation approved a $35,500 grant from the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources' game and fish fund.
"These are funds the DNR has and by law we can't refuse them so we take the money to use for game and fish projects around Berkeley County," Daning said.
The delegation also tabled a $50,000 request from the Berkeley County Water Recreation Fund for habitat enhancement projects on Lakes Moultrie and Marion.
"I'd like to see a more detailed breakdown of how this money is going to be spent," Grooms said.
The motion was tabled until those figures were supplied.
On the topic of Daniel Island's proposed secession, Grooms' remarks came during the open discussion portion of the meeting when District 100 Representative Eddy Southard asked the delegation if Berkeley County should be seriously worried about Daniel Island.
"The Daniel Island association represents 4,500 people, and any group of people have the right to petition to join another county," Grooms said. "All you need is a signed petition with 10 percent of the signatures. Daniel Island has that. They can move forward."
Grooms briefly outlined the procedure for any given area or group of people in the county leaving. With the petitions collected they would be presented to the governor who next appoints a special commission to investigate any secession request.
"The four-person commission would include two people from Daniel Island, a proponent and opponent of the change, and two people from the greater Berkeley County, again a proponent and opponent," Grooms said. "They study the situation and information collected and present their findings to the governor, after which the governor calls for an election."
A two-thirds majority vote by the residents of Daniel Island would then send the secession movement to the voters of Charleston County who need only approve the referendum by a simple majority vote.
"Once that occurs the county map would change," Grooms said.
While the secession seems like a simple process on the surface, there are a number of loose ends that would have to be tied off first.
"There is county owned property on Daniel Island to which capital improvements have been made," Grooms said. "Berkeley County will have to be compensated and reimbursed for those properties and improvements."
Grooms said the ripple effect created throughout the county would be far reaching and affect every county taxpayer.
"This could affect the credit rating of the county and the school district," he said. "And the rise in taxes would be significant.
"For whatever the reason, the citizens of Daniel Island feel they were lied to and had promises broken by the Berkeley County School District to build a school on Daniel Island. They feel lied to, and betrayed, and let down by their government and their school district to the point where they feel their only recourse is to move to another county."
Grooms said the loss of Daniel Island would result in the reapportioning of Berkeley County Council and Berkeley County School Board districts.
"This group, depending on what you read, comprises 15-to-20-percent of the Berkeley County tax base and they feel betrayed by their government," Grooms said. "I want the folks on Daniel Island to know Berkeley County wants them. I regret that people feel like their county has let them down."
