Marshall TV Stand 1 1
Only okay I loved the look of this media stand online but when I got it, it ended up being more of a cherry color. Plus the assembly was nothing but easy and the parts are what you would expect from something "made in China". The finish has already chipped (after two weeks) exposing the light colored "wood" underneath. Not to mention, the tiny drawers barely clasify as storage. Definitely not my best purchase, but I guess you get what you pay for. March 25, 2012

APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING STRONG AND HIGHLY OPAQUE RANDOM .FIBROUS WEBS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The invention relates generally to nonwoven fibrous webs. More particularly, the invention relates-to extrusion apparatus that produce webs characterized by high Strength and opacity.
2. Description of the Prior Art It is known to form fibrous webs by drawing fibers from an extruder and depositing them on a moving carrier such as a rotating screen or moving wire. It is further known to perform the drawing step by impinging a current of air against the fibers. U. S. Pat. No. 3,509,009 to I-Iartmann, for example, discusses such methods and apparatus for carrying them out including extruder dies formed by grooves in wedges which are placed together so that the grooves are juxtaposed. As
the polymer is extruded, the mass is blown into fine fibers through the use of aircurrents and forms a web on a moving carrier. This patent teaches, however, that it is preferred to draw continuous filaments by entraining them in a gas stream directed into the filament path and depositing them on a foraminous support.
It is also known and disclosed in U. S. Pat. No. 3,488,819 to Jackson, for example, that the Coanda effect of a divergent nozzle may be utilized to oscillate an airjet causing an entrained yarn to be deposited on a carrier in continuous crosswise movement. In addition, the prior art contains teachings of the use of dies for extrusion having various shapes and configurations of spinneret holes; such are disclosed, for example, in U. S. Pat. Nos. 3,249,669 and 3,528,129.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has as a primary object to provide improvements in apparatus for-producing nonwoven fibrous webs of exceptional strength and' opacity for a given weight. Other objects and advantages will be apparent upon reference to the drawings and to the detailed description below. r
In accordance with the invention the improved webs are formed by heating a thermoplastic polymer to produce an extrudable melt, extruding the melt through a slotted film die having slots of correspondingly varying length and cross section, drawing the melt into fibers by impinging a gas at the melt temperature at an angle to the extruding polymer, cooling the gas and fibers by al lowing the gas to expand thereby causing the fibers to break up in varying lengths, and collecting the broken fibers into a web. In a preferred embodiment the apparatus includes means for providing a Coanda effect and angular deposition in an interlocking crosswise wave pattern.
BRIEFDESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS showing means for provid- FIG. 8 schematically illustrates aformed web portion.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The apparatus of the invention will now be described in detail with particular reference to the preferred embodiments illustrated in the drawings.
Turning to FIG. 1, the process involves first the selection of a suitable thermoplastic polymer. Many such polymers capable of extrusion in fiber form are avail-' able, and the particular one to be utilized is a matter of choice based usually on considerations such as cost, melt temperature, fiber properties, and extrusion properties, as well as desired web characteristics. Examples of polymers contemplated for use in the invention include the following: polyolefins, nylons, polyesters, and
polyacetals. However, it will be recognized that other I slots with correspondingly varying slot length and cross sectional area dimensions. The phrase correspondingly varying" is used to indicate that the length and cross section area dimensions must vary in the same mannerl 'lhat is, the larger the slot length, the larger will be its cross sectional area. In general, 'each slot is preferably of uniform dimensions which are different from those of adjacent slots..The fibers emerging from the die are impinged by high velocity air at about, the melt temperature directed at an angle of from about 10 to 45 to the fiber orientation direction. The gas is thereafter allowed to expand rapidly causing cooling and fracturing of many of the fibers into a mixture of fibrids, short fibers and filaments of widely varying di mensions. In, the terms of this invention the words frbrids, short fibers and filaments are defined as follows: filaments aresubstantially continous strands generally of l to 20 denier, short fibers are discontinuous strands Vi inch to 3 inches inlength andgenerally of V: to 3 denier, and fibrids are short strands of less than V4 inch in length and generally less than A denier. This mixture is collected on a moving carrier such as a screen or the like and forms a strong, opaque web which may be removed and wound into rolls with apparatus conventionally used for such purposes. By
opaque" it is meant that the web has high opacity for As indicated by the flow diagram, FIG. I, an alternative embodiment includes the step of using a Coanda arrangement to direct the fibers. across the receiving carrier. Pulsed air may be used to cause the fibers to deposit in wavy patterns across the carrier surface. This manner of deposition increases the interlocking nature of the random pattern of the fiber-filament-fibrid mixture thus augmenting strength and opacity.
Turning nowto FIGS. 2 to 5, the invention willbe described in terms of the embodiment illustrated therein.
where particularly suitable for use with polyolefins, e.g., polypropylene, and results in a web having the previously I mentioned advantages of strength, opacity, and gross uniformity of formation. Of course, the particular dimensionsselected involve largely a matter of choice depending upon the desired fiber characteristics in the web and will, in some cases, differ widely from the example recited. In particular, the specific slot crosssection shape need not be as shown since it is recognized that the filaments, fibers, and fibrids will tend to become round in cross-section as cooling takes place.
It is only critical that the slots 20 exhibit significant variation in both length and cross-sectional area across the lip 16 of die 10. The ratio of length to cross section is preferably selected for each polymer to result in generally equal shear stresses for each slot. Thus, the conditions are such that in all cases,
Pa=sCL P die pressure, psi;
C slot cross sectional circumference, in.
s shear stress, lbs./in.
a slot cross section, in.
L slot length, in. thus, s/P constant= a/CL for each slot. While the circumference of the slots depends on the cross sectional sharia. sheath s me. h p is. s fer a." slots, it
will vary in proportion to V5. Hence, it is preferred that the individual slot lengths be proportioned'according to V5 to maintain a constant value of 'a/CL. By keeping the shear stress generally equal in all slots, flow through each one'is assured. The particular slot cross section shape depends upon the desired properties and end use. It may be round, rectangular, or triangular, for example. A dog-bone shape may be used to produce an effect of high luster.
. The number of teeth 18 per inch of width will simi-' larly be dependent upon desired fiber properties such as denier as well as web properties such as basis weight. However, it is contemplated that the typical ranges for these dimensions for producing a web with paper-like strength and opacity will be as follows: length of groove (L,L) 0.008 to 0.5 inch; cross sectional area of groove 0.0001 in. to 0.0025 in., preferably 0.0002 in. to
0.0015 in.; and number of grooves from about 5 to 100 within chamber 22.As shown in cross-section the housing. includesdual air manifolds 24 which direct air flow frpm a source "at elevated temperature (not shown) down the beveled edges of die 10 to lip 16 and out through nozzle 26. In accordance with the invention in a preferred embodiment, nozzle 26 includes an outlet 28 having a nearly symmetrical Coanda configuration which has been exaggerated in the drawing for illustrative purposes. By avoiding complete symmetry it is possible to produce higher stability on one side of nozzle 26 to which the fibers will naturally be drawn as they are formed; in the illustrated case the preferred side will be side 30 which has a slightly smaller, by about 1 to 10 per cent, for example, radius of curvature when compared to the radius of side 36. Channel 32 is pro vided in side 30 and connected to a source (not shown) of pulsed air. Such sources are well known and, in
longer fibers. The upper limit of 2 1,600 yards per minute has been selected as representing sonic velocity. It is recognized; however, that with special orifice designs, higher rates are obtainable; when available, these higher air rates may also be utilized with the present invention.
w The samba the fibers warlidaamriany tend to take due to the slight dissymetryof the Coanda configuration is illustrated by arrow A of FIG. 6,. As the air expands, rapid cooling of the polymer filaments 34 takes place causing them to separate into the various lengths forfilaments, short fibers, and fibrids. Air under pressure of about 0.1 to l psig, for example, is pulsed through channel 32 and, when air is flowing in the channel, causes displacement of the fiber flow towards side 36. Channel 32 is preferably positioned so that the excited pulsed air moves generally at a tangent to the outlet-curve of side 36 on nozzle 26, thus tending to urge the fibers in that direction as well, as indicated by arrow B. When air is not flowing in channel 32, the fibers will tend to resume the original flow direction A. The result, indicated by arrow C, is a generally sine wave deposition path in the direction of travel of carrier 38 with afrequency that depends upon the pulsing frequency. This frequency maybe, for example, in the range of 2 to 600 cycles per second. In a critically designed system, for example, an oscillating diaphragm of an earphone placed in channel 32 could beused to replace the air pulses and induce vibrations and fiber deposition at'a desired frequency.
deposited by nozzle 26. As shown, it is preferred thatdie 10 be disposed'angularly with respect to the lateral direction of movement of surface 38. The angle, a, se lected is not critical and preferably may vary, for exarnq In operation, the polymer is extruded through die 10 pie, between 30 and 60. It has been found that this angular deposition in combination with the controlled Coanda effect results in wavy motion of the fibers in the direction of movement of surface 38. The fibers are caught in this interlocking pattern as a random mixture of oriented filaments, short fibers and fibrids. The rapid cooling caused by the nozzle expansion prevents deorientation of the fiber molecules and shrinking of the fiber ends which has previously resulted in balling and lumping producing poor formation characteristics.
FIG. 8 schematically illustrates the web 40 formed on surface 38 which may be subsequently treated by methods and for purposes that are well known. For example calendaring may be used, and the resulting sheet will display increased stength and density due to the fibrids intermixedbetween the fibers.,These fibrids also increase the total inner surface area thus providing in- Y I forcing material for tapes. Other uses for specific combinations will be apparent to those skilled in this art.
In summary, the invention comprises an improved apparatus for use in a methodfor producing strong, opaque fibrous webs including the steps of extruding a polymer through a die having slotsof corresponding varying dimensions and impinging the fibers at an angle with heated, high velocity air. The fibers are cooled by rapid air expansion and collected on a carrier to form a web. A controlled Coanda may-be used and the fibers deposited at an angle with respect to the carrier in preferred arangements. The apparatus of the invention includes a die having a lip with slots of correspondingly varying dimensions as well as means for applying a con trolled Coanda effect and angular deposition in the preferred embodiments.

Comments about Womens New Balance Minimus 10v2 Running Shoe:
I run about 20 miles/week, but I don't run in this shoe. I've been using it daily to walk and weight train. My feet have never felt stronger or healthier since I started wearing these. They are surprisingly so comfortable and they feel so natural. The only downside is that my feet get wet quickly in wet weather b/c water seeps in the bottoms, but that is rarely an issue. I love the lightweight feel of this shoe and how flexible my foot is in it. PLEASE DON'T "UPDATE" THIS SHOE AND MAKE IT WORTHLESS--IT IS WONDERFUL THE WAY IT IS!!!! These shoes have been like medicine to my aching feet.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I used to wear Mizuno Wave Creations for about 4 years...until now. I doubt I'll ever go back. I stick to the neutral plus shoes for the added cushion due to higher mileage plus I have high arches. I do wear custom insoles from RRS, though. I've been using these shoes to train for my latest marathon, which is this coming weekend. It took about a week for me to get used to the shoes, but I LOVE them. I've been running anywhere from 30-60+ miles a week in them. I had to buy a 1/2 size up from by normal running shoe size, and they fit great.

"We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive. Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy, and serenity. We need only to be awake, alive in the present moment." -Thich Nhat Hanh
Hello, welcome to my profile page. My name is Jason and I am a senior here at Haverford. I am a philosophy major and psychology minor, and I focus primarily on comparative and Eastern philosophy. I have published my first book following my participation in the Semester Abroad in Hawai'i Program to study philosophy at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. I am working with people such as Professor Ashok Gangadean and Professor Thomas Jackson (at Hawai'i) at to aid in the movement for a shift in global meditative consciousness and participate in developing the Philosophy for Children Program. I plan to pursue a career teaching philosophy while also participating in the recent upsurge of mindful/meditative learning in the classroom.
I am a martial artist, swimmer, and pianist though I dedicate most of my time now to the martial arts. I am a first generation student of a new innovative style, Machin-do, created by Master David Machin. I assisted in representing the school on a television series known as "Martial Arts View." Part of my philosophy is to enhance people's lives through the practice of martial arts and I enjoy teaching it to others. I am the president of the Martial Arts Alliance on campus and teach martial arts to beginners, athletes, martial artists, or anyone who has an interest in the area.
I live in Staten Island, New York and I went to Xaverian High School in Brooklyn.

Shy and retiring Doves that is which are lovely but eat allthe feed!!! not to mention the pigeons
The doves eat the pigeons?
I'd suggest "buggy nibbles" for pretty much everything, peanuts for the great spotted woodpeckers and seed mix for those who munch seeds plus live meal worms in the same place at the same time every day. The birds like to know they can get breakfast or lunch or dinner there, then.
The best way to stop the seed mix rotting in the feeder is to have so many birds it never gets the chance. I have two mesh tubes, and when the small one's empty and the big on'es down to one-third full of peanuts I tip the big one into the small one, fill the bottom of the big one with nibbles, tip the peanuts back on top of them, fill the small one with nibbles and hang them both out again. This way the peanuts aren't sitting at the bottom of the tube and rotting. One or two still get manky but they're better than they were when I just filled it with nuts.
If you get one of the squirrel-blockers to put over your feeder, you can make the bottom of it into a cone or a dish. Choose cone. It'll shed feed crumbs all over the floor, but it's better than having a soggy mass of them in the dish. You also get a lot more height of wire hoop with which to hang it back on the peg if it's a cone.
If you really want a rain-proof seed feeder, screw three coat hooks into the outer part of the bottom of a thick washing-up bowl from underneath and one into the centre of the bottom from on top, use light chain or string to connect the three to the feeder pole or a hook in a tree branch or whatever and then hang the feeder from the one on the inside.
Instead of cutting the nuts, put them in a strong bag and bash them with the rolling pin. Not too hard though, or you'll get peanut butter!

Since the broad market hit its most recent highs on April 23, the S&P 500, as measured by the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSE: SPY), has fallen by close to 12%. It's the first full-blown, by-the-numbers correction for equities since last March's market bottom (by most definitions a market correction is defined by a pullback of 10% or more from previous highs). Other broad market indexes are also in the red. The Nasdaq has lost nearly 13%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average is off about 10.5%.
IN PICTURES: 20 Tools For Building Up Your Portfolio
Yet a great many stocks have powered forward since the April top, tacking on 30% or more since then. Here are three such standouts - companies that have scorned the general market on their way to recent gains:
Nickel And Diming Their Profits
Coinstar (Nasdaq: CSTR) is up nearly 55% since the latest correction began and over 83% in the last quarter. Coinstar reported earnings per share of 21 cents in the latest quarter, against Wall Street analyst expectations of just 13 cents. The company also raised guidance for the coming quarter and full year 2010.
Coinstar is in the business of providing automated retail solutions, predominantly for the sale and rental of movies on DVD. The company also provides self-service, coin-counting kiosks and money-transfer services. The company has over 95,000 machines operating across the U.S. in supermarkets, drug and convenience stores.
Soft Takeover
Sybase (NYSE: SY) offers consumers a variety of software applications to manage and encrypt data as well as mobile messaging capabilities. The company's shares have risen better than 40% in the last month after a takeover bid by German software giant SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) was accepted by the company's board of directors.
In the last year, Sybase shares have gained 95%.
Healthy Buyout
Odyssey HealthCare (Nasdaq: ODSY) shareholders were also the beneficiaries of a recent takeover bid. The company's stock rose better than 35% in the last month's trade after Gentiva Health Services (Nasdaq: GTIV) proposed a $27 per share cash offer for the company. A number of lawsuits are pending in this case.
The Wrap
Even a down market can produce great individual stocks. Outsized earnings surprises and takeover bids are just two means by which shareholders can profit handsomely "against the tide". (Use these seven steps to discover a takeover before the rest of the market catches on. Refer to Pinpoint Takeovers First.)

Smile! Because you may be surprised by this one thing Qataris and Israelis now have in common
Qataris and Israelis may seem like odd bedfellows, but they definitely have one thing in common: they love themselves…in pictures, that is!
According to TIME Magazine's survey of the top 100 cities in the world with the most selfie photo snapshots, Doha ranked first in the Arab World and 42nd overall and Tel Aviv ranked number six globally.
Tel Aviv allegedly has 139 avid "selfie enthusiasts" per 100,000 people, according to Haaretz's report on the survey. Doha, on the other hand has an average of 52 per 100,000 people, according to Arabian Business.
TIME used the application Instagram to collect data on which cities are home to the most of these so-called selfies where individuals snap portraits of themselves usually on a smartphone camera and often upload it to social media websites.
Other top self(ie)-obsessed MENA cities included in the top 100 were Dubai at 63rd, Abu Dhabi at 87th and Sharjah at 92nd.
TIME reported that the top selfie-city is Makati City and Pasig in the Philippines, followed by Manhattan New York City, Miami, Anaheim and Santa Ana, California.

SEARHC Summer Internship Program:
Seven Alaska Native/American Indian students from around the region have been chosen to participate in the SEARHC Summer Internship Program this year. The eight-week internship program starts June 20 and runs through Aug. 15. There are four high school interns — Jolene Lemieux of Haines, Cassi Williams of Klawock, Justin Watanabe of Juneau and Shaenel Gamble of Angoon — and they will rotate through different departments at their local clinics. There are three college students — Caitlin Way of Sitka (a recent Sitka High graduate), Tammy Eddy of Juneau and Georgianna "Annie" Foruria of Sitka. Caitlin will work in physical therapy, Tammy will work in administration, patient access and records, and Annie will rotate to different floors with the nurses at S'áxt' Hít Mt. Edgecumbe Hospital. The SEARHC Summer Internship Program is designed to help train more Native health care workers. Congratulations, interns and we wish you a successful summer.

ANTHC assures patient housing for ANMC:
The Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) assured that patients traveling to Anchorage for appointments will be housed. In the past, some appointments were delayed as patients were waiting for available housing in Anchorage. Late last year, ANMC began to house patients in limited overflow rooms in Anchorage. Don Kashevaroff, ANTHC CEO, committed that housing at ANMC will be available to all patients. Patients will be housed either at the Quyana House or hotel rooms in the community. We are very appreciative of this effort by ANTHC as Anchorage housing will no longer be a delay associated with access to care at ANMC.

Late News … IHS should receive funds after OMB approves spending plan:
SEARHC and other tribal health organizations have waited since Oct. 1 to receive a lump-sum payment of its compact funding agreement. We received a message late this week that the rest of the compact funds will finally arrive by June 10. This amount represents our entire IHS revenues and nearly half of all SEARHC revenues. We received partial payments over the last eight months ranging from periods of two months to a couple of days. Some of these payments came multiple days after funds ran out for that period (meaning that we upfront these costs for the IHS). Although Congress adopted the federal budget in April through a continuing resolution for the rest of the year, it has taken until June for the agency's budget to be approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). We have not seen the final approved funding level from the IHS, but we are estimating this amount to be similar to last fiscal year's funding. This number would be less than what was projected last year by about 1 percent of our entire revenue budget. We are pleased to receive this news as we have tightly managed our account payables while waiting for these compact funds.

New Anchorage-based patient advocate being recruited for KANA, SEARHC:
The Kodiak Area Native Association (KANA) is recruiting for an Anchorage-based patient advocate position it shares with SEARHC. The patient advocate will be based with the Customer Experience staff at the Alaska Native Medical Center (ANMC) and will be supervised by KANA. The patient advocate serves as a customer liaison for KANA and SEARHC patients who travel to Anchorage to receive care at ANMC. The patient advocate helps patients navigate the Alaska Tribal Health Care System and ensures patients receive the highest quality health care possible and are satisfied with the care provided. To learn more about the open position and its job requirements, go to
and scroll down to the Patient Advocate job listing. Online applications should be submitted through the KANA website, and should be submitted by Friday, June 17 (note that this is an extension of the original June 10 due date listed on the site). For more information, contact the KANA Human Resources Department at 907-486-9800 (in Kodiak) or send e-mail to

Haines Tribal Youth Program hosts rededication of 3.5 Mile Cemetery on June 10:
The Haines Tribal Youth Program — a partnership between the SEARHC Behavioral Health Prevention Program and the Chilkoot Indian Association (CIA), through a grant from the U.S. Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) — will host a rededication at the 3.5 Mile Cemetery at 5 p.m. on Friday, June 10. Rodney Hinson, who works for the SEARHC Behavioral Health Prevention program, said the Tribal Youth Program applied for and received one of only 11 grants given out by the History Channel under their "Save Our History" program. The students in the program cleaned and restored a Native cemetery at 3.5 Mile of the Haines Highway. They made new cedar fences for the graves, replacing fences built in 1904 by the contractor that built Fort Seward. Our local youth provided much of the labor for the project and it has been well documented in our local paper and radio coverage. The rededication ceremony will begins at 5 p.m. on June 10, and will be followed by a potluck at Tlingít Park in Haines. CIA will provide the meat and drinks while others are asked to bring a side dish or dessert. The Tribal Youth Program invites everyone to attend and asks people to bring their drums. Over the past 15 months, the program has provided materials and instruction for the making of over 140 drums in our community. The program hopes people will be able to attend to celebrate not only the restoration work, but also the history of the 3.5 Mile Cemetery.

Spring mobile mammograms continue through June:
The Spring 2011 schedule for the mobile mammogram van program launched in May. The program is operated by Bartlett Regional Hospital and the SEARHC WISEWOMAN Women's Health Program. The mobile mammogram van visited Haines on May 2-13, Kake on May 17-20, Gustavus on May 26 and Skagway on June 1-3 to open its schedule, and then it will go to Yakutat on June 8-13 and Angoon on June 16-22. Women are encouraged to contact their local clinics before the scheduled visit because they will need to have had a clinical breast exam before they can get their mammograms. The SEARHC WISEWOMAN Women's Health Program provides free clinical breast exams, mammograms, Pap tests and cardiovascular screenings for all women ages 40 and older who meet income and insurance guidelines. For more information, contact your local clinic, call the SEARHC WISEWOMAN Women's Health Program in Sitka at 966-8782 (or 1-888-388-8782, toll-free in Alaska), or send e-mail to
. For more information about services available through the SEARHC WISEWOMAN Women's Health Program, go to

Alaska VA Mental Health Wellness Council seeks art for suicide prevention cards:
The Alaska VA Mental Health Wellness Council is working with the Suicide Prevention Coordinator to gather art from veterans that can be used on the covers of 12 monthly suicide prevention cards. Each month the coordinator sends suicide prevention cards to high-risk veterans so they feel more connected. This is a statewide request for artwork from any Alaska veteran of the armed services, including the National Guard and the Reserves. Veterans may submit original art, which can be digital art, a photograph or a photograph of a three-dimensional piece. The artwork is due by July 31, and the 12 images selected for the monthly card covers will be unveiled during a National Suicide Prevention Week ceremony at 1 p.m. on Sept. 7, at the Alaska VA Healthcare System, 1201 N. Muldoon Rd., Anchorage, 99504. The cards will be mailed out from October 2011 to September 2012. For more information, contact Ginny Crawford, a program analyst with the Alaska VA Health Care System, at 907-257-4703 or
. You also can call (last names not available) Jorge at 907-529-4859 or Woody at 907-245-0284 for more information.

A Maine Camp With A Quiet & Beautiful Setting
August 7, 2013
Our time on Green Lake was memorable. We rented a pontoon boat from Joe Jenkins on the lake for fishing and cruising...both were exceptional. The camp is located down an 8 mile paved and gravel road ensuring peace and quiet. The view from the deck is as good as it gets! The beach is perfect for young kids. The kitchen was very well equipped. We had guests over for dinner a few times and easily fed 10 people using the kitchen and BBQ. From the main road entrance, one way goes towards Brewer and Bangor for a good movie, dinner out, or casino visit...the other way heads towards Ellsworth and further to Bar Harbor for sight seeing, mini-golf, seafood, and much more. Note that the listing states that there is an outdoor shower, which I assumed was for showering after a swim, however there is only an outdoor shower and not an indoor shower. The shower is nice and warm and my wife and I rather enjoyed it...but my teenage daughter didn't...I mention it so that you aren't surprised. Overall, this rental is great for a peaceful and restful vacation. I hope to stay here whenever I come back to the area.

Hot young college studs go for their entrance physicals! Deep anal penetration, anal probing, vacuum pumping, elector-cock therapy and MORE!
After I collected Chase's cum sample off of my chest I told him in order for the success of this fast and efficient test we need to have my cum for comparison. With that I guided his head towards my pulsating dick and had him go to town. He engulfed me and formed a suction around my cock that made my knees buckle. Watching his head bob up and down; disappearing in his mouth was the highlight of my day. Chase pressed his tongue under the head of my cock and ran it up in to the slit of my dick. Then focused on the shaft and then began to lick and pull on my balls which got me hot and heavy. This kid was sucking my dick with so much intensity that I had to fight off the urge from busting in his mouth to soon. He brought his focus back on deepthroating my cock; I loved the feeling of my dick down his throat. I grabbed his hair and pulled it further onto my pole till he got red in the face. I started to feel my body tingle and my balls began to get tight. I curled my toes while I tried to l

I have a quick and simple card for you today. The star of the show is the fun, "floating" frame, a tidy fit for this week's Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge (MOJO337).
- My favorite trick with the Stampin' Up! Squares Collection Framelits Dies is to make frames.
- I flip the finished frame over before adhering to hide any traces of embossing from the die.
- Popping the frame up with bits of Stampin' Dimensionals creates a pretty shadow effect for the black heat embossed stem and leaves (Stampin' Up! Nature's Hello, a Hostess Rewards exclusive).
- Uber easy! The Secret Garden Framelits Die set has a coordinating die to crop the stem precisely. No snipping required.
- Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper (FREE with a $50 product order during Sale-A-Bration) provides the splashy scallop pattern as well as the yummy floral for the envelope liner.

What is a house concert? Well according to Wikipedia it's a cover-up for illicit sex parties… That is NOT what I am doing.
House shows can a be a much cheaper and fun alternative to concerts at traditional venues. Just imagine your favorite artist stepping down off the stage, coming to your house, and playing in your living room for all your close friends. Well that's what I'm going for! They are easy to set up and make for a more intimate performance that breaks the ice between artist and audience. After the show rather than being whisked away in a tour bus and on to the next city, the artist has time to mingle, take pictures, and tell embarrassing stories.
So if you want me to come to your house and put on a private show (not that kind, Wikipedia) then here are my essential needs:
- 10 guests minimum and a suggested donation of $5 per person. (This is to help cover your expenses, not mine.)
- Enough space for your guests with comfortable seating.
- A space for me to play with adequate light. It's just me so roughly 4′ x 4′ will provide plenty of space.
- I don't need a mic. I am really loud.
- Food & Drink – Not required, but encourage your guests to bring snacks to share! And a little beer is always a good idea.
- For shows more than 3 hours away from our next destination, we may need a place to stay for the night.

7. "Jimmy Mack" by Martha and the Vandellas (1967)
Originally recorded in March 1964, the tapes sat unheard on a shelf for three years after they were red-flagged by Motown's notorious quality control team. Allegedly they feared that a song about a woman whose boyfriend who had been sent away would draw uncomfortable comparisons to the growing military action in Vietnam. But as time went on and the public opinion on the conflict soured, record execs decided that the subtle social commentary would aid the already-catchy single. They released it in February 1967, and it soon became a top ten hit. It wouldn't be the last time Motown would shy away from contemporary events…
6. "What's Going On" by Marvin Gaye (1971)
Most people really like Gaye's socially conscious ode to a nation divided, at least enough to take it to Number 2 on the Billboard Charts and make it a beloved classic. The song was ranked 4th on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, and 14th on VH1's list of the 100 Greatest Rock Songs. So it's fairly safe to assume that "What's Goin' On" has a lot of fans. But Motown Records founder Berry Gordy was not one of them. He dismissed the finished product as "the worst thing I ever heard in my life," citing the jazzy-feel as not fitting with the Motown sound. "That Dizzy Gillespie stuff in the middle, that scatting, it's old," he railed. He also balked at the straight-from-the-headlines lyrics, feeling that Marvin's protest song was simply going too far. Gordy flatly refused to issue the song, and Gaye countered by going on strike, refusing to record any new material until the track was released. Feeling the pinch from losing one of their biggest recording artists, Gordy relented and put the song out in January 1971.

La Kalf, Mount Prospect, 11]., assignor to Borg- Warner Corporation, Chicago, 111., a corporation of Illinois Filed Apr. 11, 1961, Ser. No. 102,274- 7 Claims. (Cl. 220-4) This invention relates to cabinet structures and more particularly to an easy-assemble cabinet structure adapted for receiving equipment, such as electronic devices and the like in which the elements of the structure carry simplified interconnecting means which enable the ultimate user to accurately assemble such elements without the need of special tools other than a simple wrench.
The use of functionally designed cabinetry for enclosing various types and sizes of equipment, such as medical, computing, transmission, supervisory data, radio, television or other electrical or control equipment, has become more prevalent. However, installations of equipment of these general types differ widely and, heretofore, it has often been the practice to enclose such installations in cabinets custom built in accordance with the particular installation and permanently assembled at the manufacturing plant. Such cabinets cannot be mass produced and are relatively expensive not only because of their singular purpose, but because of storage and shipping problems encountered when structures are .permanently assembled at the manufacturing plant as by welding and other means. Even in the case of cabinets constructed in accordance with the modular system, disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 2,822,231, February 4, 1958, in which basic units can be combined to form a desired cabinet configuration, the problems of storage and shipping costs still exist.
To obviate the above problems opposing objects must .be accomomodated. First, the elements of the cabinet must be equipped with interconnecting means capable of beingrn'anufactured economically while permitting later simplified manual assembly. Secondly, interconnecting the means must not be too simplified in nature so that a rigid structure equal to a welded construction is not achieved and so that human error is eliminated in fitting the elements together.
It is, therefore, a primary object of this invention to provide a new and improved cabinet structure which may be produced relatively economically and which may be easily adapted to the requirements of various equipment installations.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a cabinet structure having elements equipped with a .novel interconnecting means which enable the elements to be shipped unassembled to the ultimate unsophisticated user and thereafter easily assembled by such user into a rigidly formed cabinet without need of special tools other than a simple wrench such as of the socket type.
Another object of this invention is to provide a cabinet 'having simplified interconnecting means which frictionally lock said elements in position upon interengagement thereof.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention to. has an integral elongated flange 19 extending lateral] will become apparent from the following description ant accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cabinet structure ant embodying the features of this invention;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view take] substantially along line 2-2 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken substantially alon line 3--3 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged exploded view partly in sectioi of one corner of said cabinet structure;
FIG. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary and perspectiv view of one corner of said cabinet structure illustratin separated members of the interconnecting means in posi tion to be engaged;
FIGS. 6-10 are fragmentary sectional views similar t FIG. 3 and each illustrating separate modified forms 0 this invention; and
FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a cabinet structure it corporating the modification of FIG. 10 in which ther are no supporting legs or posts.
Referring more specifically to the drawings wherei like parts are designated by the same numerals througl out the various figures, a cabinet structure or super-stru ture 10 embodying the features of this invention is show in FIG. 1 and comprises a base or first frame membe 11 and a top or second frame member 12. spaced apa1 and interconnected by a plurality of struts 13. The has and top frame members 11 and 12 each have a substantiz flat portion 14 circumscribed by a flange meansor Ski] 15, each skirt 15 comprising an elongated Wall 16 havin one longitudinal edge 17 integrally connected with sai fiat portion 14 and extending generally normally there The other longitudinal edge 18 of the skirt wall 1 inwardly of the structure and spaced from said flat poi tion 14. The base and top frame members may be prel erably formed from sheets of plate-steel whereby th skirts 15 are stamped as integral L-shaped channels fror the margins of the sheets. As shown in FIG. 1, th skirt of the base frame member is facing upwardl and the skirt of the top frame member is facing dowr wardly to provide a smooth and well designed exteric for the cabinet construction.
Each strut 13 has a generally elongated configuratio and may be considered a post or leg of the cabinet supe1 structure. The struts are here shown, in FIGS. 1-5, 2 as being preferably formed from strips of plate steel an contoured so that the struts have a generally rectangule cross-section with the longitudinal margins of said strip vbeing turned outwardly to form longitudinally CXtCHC flanges 25 with the lateral extent of each flange 25 bein at right angles to the other. Each of said strut flange are provided with a plurality of aligned mounting ,oper ings or apertures 26 and mounting surfaces 27 so thz panels or equipment (not shown) may be secured to th super-structure to complete the cabinet construction.
To enable the unsophisticated user to assemble thes component parts With the'utmost ease and assurancl an interconnecting means 30, having self-aligning fez tures, comprises engaging elements 31 secured to the has and top frame members and engaging elements 32 se cured to opposite ends of the struts 13. The engagin elements 31 of the base and top frame members ar preferably formed as generally rectangular aluminux blocks attached, as by welding 48, to the flat portion 1 thereof and located subjacent the flange 19 of the fram member skirts 15. A plurality of guide openings 33 at provided in the skirt flange 19 having sides or edges 34 i substantially vertical alignment with the sides 35 of th engaging elements 31 as seen in FIG. 2; the openings 3 are located in the corners of the skirt means so thz oining flanges 19 do not have their respective termiing edges 20 meeting. Each of the engaging elements 31 are provided with a 1ale socket portion 36 comprising a frustro-conical ity 37 facing outwardly toward its aligned guide openin skirt flange 19. The outer end side of the engaging ments 31 are provided with a central recess 38 (FIG. is alignment with one of a plurality of openings 39 )vided in the flat portion of the base or top frame mber. A passage 40 is provided in the elements to communicate the recess 38 with the cavity 37 for eiving fastening means to be described hereinafter. The engaging elements 32 secured to each end of the tits comprise a. primary part 45 shaped preferably as :olid aluminum block and having a solid second part male portion 46 integrally formed thereto extending lgitudinally outwardly of the struts ends. The priry parts fit snugly within the inner contours of the ats and are secured thereto preferably by welding 49. e male portion 46 has a frustro-conical configuration tpted to snugly fit within the female socket portion 36 the engaging elements 31. As shown in dotted outin FIGS. 2-4, each male portion is provided with a ltral threaded bore 47 extending partially into the inior thereof for purposes to be described. 7 in accordance with this invention the frame members, uts and other panels may be shipped to the used in the assembled condition, requiring only inter-engagement means 30 for accurately relating the elements of the ucture. More particularly, the male portions 46 of engaging elements 32 are adapted to be fitted into female socket portions 36 of the elements 31 for embling the struts with the top and base frame memrs. In doing so, each male portion is automatily guided into predetermined alignment with the female :ket portion by virtue of the tapered mating surfaces. in addition to the self-alignment of the male and fele portions, two other self-aligning means are proed. First, certain of the mounting surfaces 27 of strut flanges 25 are adapted to engage the terminatedge 20 of the skirt flange 19 upon interengagement means 30. [he disposition of two flanges on each strut at right gles to each other provide a highly accurate means for ing in properly relating the struts to the frame mem- 's. Secondly, the sides or edges 34 of the guide openings provided in the skirt flange 19 are adapted to engage outer lateral periphery of each strut when the means is interengaged. As shown in FIGS. 3-5, the sides 34 the guide openings are slightly spaced from the engagelements 31 to provide greater facility and stability positioning. 7 The engaging elements 31 and 32 are rigidly fastened ;ether in the self-aligned and mated position by fastenmeans 50 comprising bolts having a head portion 52 abutting the walls of recess 38 in element 31 and ving a threaded shank 53 for threadably engaging bore in element 32. It can be readily seen that securing fastening means in place requires no special assemtools other than a conventional socket wrench. The se and top frame members are provided with a smooth ter contour and appearance since the fasteners 50 are :essed below the exterior surface thereof. The struts are locked against turning also by virtue of abutment of the sides 34 of the guide openings 33 ainst the outer periphery of the strut, by the abutment the strut flanges 25 against the terminating edge 20 the skirt flange 19, and by the superior frictional lock )vided by engagement of the tapered aluminum sur- :es of the male and female portions. A slightly modified Version of the preferred embodi- :nt is illustrated in FIG. 6, in which similar parts have iilar part numbers prefixed by the letter A. The gaging elmentsA32 are each provided with a passage 4 A60 adapted to permit the fasteners A50 to extend entirely therethrough from the innermost surface A61 of the elements A32. The engaging elements A31 are each provided with a threaded bore A62 adapted to threadably receive the shank A53 of the fasteners. It can be readily seen that the elements A32 have no recess or opening facing the exterior of the structure nor is there need for openings in the frame member A12. The fasteners A50 are inserted from the interior of the structure and thereby provide for an uninterrupted surface exterior for the cabinet construction. The frame members and struts are related one to the other in a manner similar to that described in connection with the preferred embodiment.
In FIG. 7, another alternative embodiment is illustrated, in which similar parts have similar part numbers prefixed by the letter B. The flat portion B14 of frame member B12 has a plurality of recessed areas B70 each with a central aperture B71 generally in alignment with the center of one guide opening B33 provided in the skirt flange B19. A cup member B72 is attached at its closed end B75, as by welding, to the inner extent of each recessed area B70 and has a mouth B73 facing the guide openings B33. The closed end B75 of the cup member B72 has a central opening B74 in alignment with the central aperture B71 of the recessed areas and together form a passage for the fastener shank B53. The inner surface of each cup member is tapered to provide a frustro-conical configuration adapted to snugly receive the male portion B46 of the engaging element B32 mounted on strut B13. The struts are mated to the top frame member in substantially the same fashion by further structure similar to that described in the preferred embodiment.
In FIG. 8, still another alternative embodiment is illustrated, in which the engaging element C32 attached to the strut C13 and carrying the male portion C46, comprises a hollow generally cylindrical body C86 closed at one end C81. The portion C82 of the cylindrical body adjacent the closed end is tapered to form a frustroconical engaging surface. The hollowness of the male portion C46 enables shorter and more economical bolts to be utilized. The engaging element C31 is constructed in substantially similar manner to that as shown in FIG. 6.
Yet another embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 9 wherein similar parts are prefixed by the letter D. The engaging element D32 is comprised of two parts, a primary part D90 comprising a block fixed to the strut D13 and having a cylindrical threaded bore B91 therein and extending entirely therethrough. The secondary part D92 has a threaded extension D93 adapted to be threadably received in the bore D91 of the primary part so as to enable the engaging element B32 to be adjustable in length. The other parts of this embodiment are similar to that described in connection with the preferred embodiment.
In each of the embodiments, the mating male and female portions are formed of a metal material having a high coefficient of friction, such as aluminum. This selection of materials aid in locking the interconnecting means in place.
FIGS. 10 and 11 illustrate yet another alternative embodiment in which the structure completely obviates the need for supporting legs or struts while maintaining ease of assembly and rigidity of construction. The structure, in FIG. 11, has flat top and bottom frame members or panels E12 and E11, and opposite fiat side frame members or panels E and E101. Each frame member has edge portions provided with a circumscribing flange or skirt means E15 constructed in accordance with the preferred embodiment. The panels are preferably arranged to form a rectangular configuration having two opposite sides of a panel each in engagement with a side of a different adjacent panel; opposite flanges E19 of each panel have guide surfaces in flush abutment with guide surfaces of flange E19 of the adjacent panel.
In this construction, the abutting flanges may be provided with a plurality of guide openings or apertures E34 located anywhere along the extent of such flanges, here preferably located at corners of the cabinet. The terminating edge of the flanges E19 which are not arranged in abutment with mating flanges, carry a supporting flange E extending inwardly perpendicular to the plane of the panel of which it is a part. Each supporting flange E25 has a plurality of mounting apertures E26 adapted to receive fasteners for securing other panels thereto (not shown).
The interconnecting means E30 is like thatof the preferred embodiment in which engaging element E31 mounted on one of the panels has a female socket portion E36 adapted to align and lock with a male portion E46 on engaging element E32 mounted on another panel. The elements are held together by fastening means E50 extending centrally therethrough.
While a preferred and certain alternative embodiment of this invention are shown and described herein, it is obvious that many structural details may be changed without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Say it loud and proud:
"I love Fit Club!"
The first thing we loved this week wasn't the first thing that occurred in the episode, but you could say it made the biggest impact:
- Bobby's butt…thing.
While chanting along with former NFL player/conditioning coach/friend of Harvey, Bay Bay McClinton, Bobby felt a rumble in his drawers and announced, "Ooh! Ooh! Gotta go to the bathroom!" Is he a 5-year-old or does he just have the bowel control of one? Whatever, the fact is that when Bobby Brown gets on reality TV, he's always gotta make it about his ass. Good for him. He found an angle and knows what works, right Nicole?
In the end, he chalked up his scare to: "Sometimes s*** happens, you know? Everyone has to take a s*** every now and then, especially in the morning." Words to live by. You'd hope for more warning, but hey, the body does strange things when you're dieting.
The way that you can really tell that this bit worked was…
…Harvey dug it. And you know he doesn't like anything.
That was the second cameo that Harvey's smile made this episode (what are the chances?). The first occurred during the…
- Aquadrama.
There were flags for the capturing, giant Q-tips fit for American Gladiators and/or an Easter Island statue's waxy buildup, and a fear of shallow water (Tanisha apparently has a very severe case of aquaphobia).
This challenge had it all!
Shar was the first to really exhibit intimidating can-do spirit:
Kaycee's impersonation said it best. Contrast this…
…with this:
Perfect, right? But Shar was a minnow compared to the barracuda that Tanisha turned out to be, despite her crippling fear of waist-high water.
On sparring with Tanisha, Nicole said, "It got a little bit too street for my liking." On not letting anyone get that flag, Tanisha said, "Over my dead, fat, 47-percent-body-fat dead body." So she wins the verbal challenge as well as the physical one. Nice!
In the end, Tanisha scored the last point for her team. When asked why the Blue Team has suddenly hit its stride, Kaycee said, "The feng shui just finally changed." She must be referring to the modified furniture within.
- Shar's shirt.
Obviously, she's having the time of her life!
- Bobby's sleeping method.
The visor blocks out the sun and nosy teammates whose business has nothing to do with Bobby's sleep patterns. That is very special multitasking headgear.
- The Art of War interstitials.
It brought an air of gravitas and made this the most neatly organized reality show since Let's Talk About Pep.
- Catharsis.
During their group with Rhonda, the group was encouraged to let out aggression they have that might cause them to revert back to bad eating habits. Jay unleashed on the dummy that was a proxy for his high-school bully; Sebastian talked about father who left family for his student; Tanisha at first didn't talk about anyone…
…but then she told a harrowing story about her childhood caretaker made her fist fight (ring-style fighting!) at as early as 5-years-old; Nicole talked about unresolved issues with dad as brought up by her stepmother; Kevin weirdly transferred his aggression to that anonymous dude who cut him off on the highway…
… now there's a guy who really takes his road rage seriously; finally Shar talked about hating betrayal, and per her fellow Fit Clubbers' interviews/my own ears, it was pretty clear that she was at least touching up on the whole Kevin situation, if not referring to it exclusively. She continues to treat him like the elephant in the room (and I'm not saying that because he's overweight…pretty much). We have to be facing a one-on-one showdown/catharsis session between them before the season is over, right?
We didn't get to hear from Kaycee or Bobby. The latter was particularly disappointing, as I wanted to know if Whitney was going to be his source of anger. Sorry! They're inextricably bound to me!
- The results.
Kevin hit his goal and lost 3 lbs.
Jay lost 2, but his goal was 4. However, midway through the season, he has already lost 20 of 30 lbs., of his overall goal.
Bobby lost 1 lb. — his goal was 4.
Same thing with Kaycee: she lost 1, her goal was 4.
Shar, like someone whose name I won't mention, hit her weekly goal and lost 3 lbs.
Tanisha's goal was 4 lbs. — she lost none.
Sebastian lost 3; his goal was 4.
Nicole lost 0 and her goal was 3 lbs.
Here are how things shaped up for the teams:
When the challenge points were factored in, it was the Red Team that once again took the lead:
These teams are swapping positions like porn stars!
One more notable bit of tension came up during Nicole's weigh in, during which her love of wine was again brought up and condemned (basically, she doesn't understand portion control). She said that she was only human and asked, "So are we turning this into rehab?" This is VH1, land of endless spin-off options. A rehab/weightloss all-in-one program, in fact, doesn't sound ridiculous at all. Stay tuned!

State officials: diocese can't collect funds for marriage initiative
Catholic World News - August 29, 2012
Citing state finance laws, the State of Washington's Public Disclosure Commission has ruled that parishes in the Diocese of Yakima cannot hold a special collection on behalf of Preserve Marriage Washington. The organization is urging the state's voters to support the traditional definition of marriage in a November referendum.
"Under state law, no one can be an intermediary for a contribution," said Loli Anderson of the Public Disclosure Commission. "It doesn't matter if it's a loose pile of money or if each is in a little envelope."
Anderson said that it would be legal for parishes to distribute preaddressed envelopes to parishioners, who in turn could send donations to Preserve Marriage Washington.

By way of preparing you for an essay about death and dying coming soon, I am sharing part of a conversation between Jack, a soul who is being prepared for his incarnation, and Harley, his Angel of Incarnation. This excerpt is taken from my eBook entitled A Radical Incarnation and retitled as A Soul Contract for the audio version. This excerpt deals with the notion of death and the fear we have about it. Part Two explains why we need to forgive before we die or before the other guy does.
"Think of the human experience as a spiritual boot camp," explained Harley. "Like all boot camps, it is designed to build you up by tearing you down until you surrender completely."
"So what keeps people in the program?" I (Jack), had to ask. "If it's as unpleasant as it sounds and there appears to be no reason to be doing it, why do people make such a strong point of doing it for as long as they can?"
"Simple," replied Harley. "The fear of death. The fear of ceasing to exist. That's what keeps them in the program. You have to hand it to the Ego, Jack. First it seduces you into believing that you are a separate entity, existing alone — separate from other human beings and from the source of infinite supply and security, God — and, to all intents and purposes, independent and self-reliant.
Then it teaches you to fear death — which we up here know to be the way back home — to such a degree that you hang on to life at all costs and never give up trying to keep death away. While it is true that the pain of being separate and alone may be almost unbearable, it is still preferable to the only alternative — death. Fear of death, Jack. That's what keeps us in the game. Perfect, don't you think?"
"I guess it is," I agreed. "But is that the only purpose for making death fearful — to create a kind of prison without bars from which no one wants to escape?
There is more to it than that, Jack. The fear of death raises the bar for achieving a meaningful level of transcendence through the actual death process. If there was little fear, there would be little challenge to it. The journey of life is nothing more than a march towards death, and the purpose of life, my friend, is to face our worst fear and transcend it."
"How do we transcend it?" I enquired.
"By surrendering."
"Surrendering to what, though?"
"You'll find out, Jack. Until you know what it feels like to be in a human body facing death, you can't imagine how it is. You will have spent the whole of your life thinking that you are sufficient unto yourself and in control of your destiny. As you slide towards death, you realize that you are powerless to control anything, and that you are moving into the void, into nothingness, into non-existence. There's nothing more terrifying for human beings than the idea that they don't exist. And that's what death represents to them.
"We have set it up in precisely that way so that when they transcend their fear of death and go through the experience and discover that "not existing" means becoming once again ONE with God, their awareness of what that means will be magnified many hundreds of times. Can you see how that would raise the transcendence bar, Jack?"
"Yes, I think so," I replied thoughtfully. "It gives spiritual value to the whole experience. The higher the bar is set, the greater my growth through the process of transcendence."
"That's right," said Harley. "Now you're starting to get it. It is not death that is the doorway to the sublime; it's the fear of death. The sublime arises in the realization that not only is death an illusion but so is separation. Cool, isn't it?"
"I guess so," I replied.
"Up here, we have known that fact forever, of course. We know that separation is not the truth and just take it for granted that we souls exist in the same relationship to the Whole as a wave does in relation to the ocean. We think of Universal Intelligence as being a vast ocean of consciousness. Each one of us souls arises from that ocean and then, at the right and perfect moment, falls back into it to become one with it again.
"For us then, death is nothing — just part of the song of existence. Since we know that we are existence itself, ceasing to exist is nothing to us, anymore than it would be for a wave."
Stay tuned.

What damage can smoking while pregnant cause the baby?
Question by entwife: What damage can smoking while pregnant cause the baby?
I recently found out that my mother (who smokes all the time now) smoked while she was pregnant with me and each of my younger sisters. She says the only harm would be a low birth weight, but that it was okay since all three of us were a healthy weight when we were born. Are there any lasting health effects I should be on the watch for?
Best answer:
Answer by fuffernut
My mom smoked when she was pregnant with me and my sister, and we both have very mild asthma and I have allergies – whether or not that's due to her smoking, who knows for sure, but I think there's a chance.

Seven months ago, I was given the opportunity to start this blog up thanks to the good folks at CSNChicago.com and the original Beerleaguer's Jason Weitzel. I'm being afforded another opportunity thanks to CSN and Jason -- who did a fantastic job with CSN's redesign -- to head up efforts at CSN's White Sox Talk blog.
My last move was more like picking up and moving across a city, this move is like I'm getting a bigger room in the same house. The stuff I write may change a bit in that I'll be posting a lot more short takes on news, but the same analysis you've come to love (or hate) in my 3.5 years on the White Sox blogosphere will continue to show up on White Sox Talk. Don't believe me? I've already decried bunting with Alexei Ramirez.
So if it's not too much trouble, I ask you to update your bookmarks and (coming soon) your RSS readers to include White Sox Talk. I'm excited to spearhead the White Sox side of these new Talk blogs, and I hope to see you all over there.
