LIQUID GAS OR STEAM STEAM mvzu'ron; J UL.|EN DUNGLER ATTYS,
United States Patent APPARATUS FOR A WET FINISHING PROCESS FOR CONTINUOUS SHEETS OF MATERIALS Julien Dungler, Basel, Switzerland, assignor to Artof Maschinenbau Dr. Ing. Meier-Windhorst, Hamburg,
Germany Filed Nov. 30, 1%0, Ser. No. 72,739 14 Claims. (Cl. 11850) The present invention relates to an improvement in continuous wet finishing of continuous fibers, webs, and other synthetic-fiber or synthetic-resin material, and more particulartly to improved apparatus for effecting this finishing.
Wet-finishing processes include, for example, the impregnation of webs by undissolved chemical products or by chemical products in Watery solution as well as the finishing by acid, neutralization, oxidation, washing, etc.
Modern machines for continuous treatment consist, for the most part, of one or a plurality of deep troughs with two sets of cylinders lying above each other for the guidance of the web. One of these sets is usually located in the trough, in the fluid. At the delivery end of the machine, there often is a squeezing device. Thesemachines have various disadvantages.
A first disadvantage is that large quantities of mixtures are consumed. The alternate passage through the fluid and through air is not advantageous when certain methods are used. Furthermore, there are difficulties with feeding of the web, especially through the cylinders at the bottom of the deep trough. This difficulty is especially great where machines having an especially narrow run or with labyrinth passages are concerned. The difliculties also arise at refeeding of the web through the mixtures, in the case of loosening of a suture, or if the web ruptures. Moreover, the adjustment of the tension of the run is diflicult.
The present invention eliminates the difficulties mentioned and has the advantage that the passage of goods takes place inside columns of liquid or of gas, above a fluid level.
According to the invention, a device for a wet-finishing process for continuous sheet or extruded goods is proposed in which, above a trough that carries the pulling, guiding, and treating elements for the cloth layer, one or several hoods, covering these elements, are arranged. The open bottom sides of these hoods are immersed in the treating fluid. The hoods are arranged so that they can be easily shifted and removed. This design permits the use of small quantities of gaseous or fluid mixtures. The pull of the material to be treated is adjusted by the pulling elements. This includes movable guide rollers, which float in the fluid and the weight of which differs from the volume weight of the displaced fluid, in which they are immersed completely or partially. The guiding elements for the cloth layer may consist of a single guide roller, but also of several rollers to obtain a long pas sage. The goods can be guided over these rollers by the spreading method, that is, as a continuous sheet, or by the rope method.
The trough can be divided by partitions into compartments of variable heights of the levels of the treating fluid. It is expedient if the level of the fluid in the rear compartments of the trough-as seen in the direction of the travel of the cloth layer-is higher than in the front compartments and the treating fluid successively flows through the various compartments in the direction opposite to the travelling direction of the cloth layer. To hold the fluid level constant in the various compartments overflow pipes may be arranged in them.
It is beneficial if the hoods that are arranged above the trough are made of transparent material, which perlCG mits the goods to remain visible throughout the entire process of treatment. Of course, metal can also be used for the construction of the hoods. Then it is advantageous to arrange windows in the hoods for observation of the goods. For minimizing the loss of heat in the hoods, insulation may be used. The insulation may embrace the entire hoods or only single parts.
To obtain a treatment of goods as intensive as possible, the space under the hoods should be filled, completely or partially, with the treating fluid. Then the goods are held under the mixture during the whole passage through the device according to the invention. Instead of the treating fluid, however, the space under the hoods may also be filled with treating medium in vaporous or gaseous form. The temperature of the gaseous solvent inside of the hoods may, then, differ from that of the treating fluid. It is possible to provide for a heater for heating the treating fluid or the vaporous or gaseous treating medium. The height of the fluid level in the hood, as well as the filling of the gaseous or vaporous treating medium may be altered as desired and vary according to the conditions in the factory.
If there is vapor gas in the interior space of the hoods, then it is expedient to arrange insulated partitions, with openings for the passage of the cloth layer, between the treating fluid in the trough and the interior space of the hoods that is filled with vapor or gas. These insulated partitions prevent a temperature exchange between the two media.
It is advantageous to provide each hood with a feed pipe for vapor or gases. and the treating fluid, as well as with a drain pipe and a relief cock. The feed pipes for vapor or gases and the treating fluid are insulated. The filling and emptying of the hoods is effected as follows: for instance, in the case of filling with treating fluid, fluid is led under the hood by the corresponding devices.
feed pipe, and the emptying of air from the hood is effected through the relief cock. In the case of filling with vapor or gas as treating media, the procedure is carried out accordingly. If the fluid level under the hood is to be raised, the vapor, the gas or the air, which are under the hood, are sucked out through the drain pipe.
To be removed easily, the hoods hang on ropes or chains passing over rolls with counterweights. After the removal of the hoods, the pulling, guiding, and treating elements are easily accessible at all points, so that the introduction of the cloth layer does not cause any difliculties.
For special treatment it is possible to arrange vibration elements inside the hoods as treating elements for the cloth layer.
Additional details of the invention will be more readily apparent from the following detailed description of the invention when taken with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic longitudinal section through a machine according to the invention having four columns;
FIG. 2 is a cross-section through the same machine; and
FIG. 3 is a sectional view of a detail of the machine.
The apparatus contains a trough 1 of low height, made, for example, of stainless steel or of plastic, in which there is a watery solution of pure water. The trough 1 can be subdivided by cross partitions 2 and 2', and the liquid levels between the partitions can have different heights 3 and 3. For heating there are heating elements 4 on the bottom of the trough 1. -In the trough, a row of cylinders 5 are arranged, which can be driven, separately or jointly, by variable speed electric motors 6. The power transmission is effected by gears 7 and 7' or by other Instead of individual drives, other devices that drive all cylinders simultaneously can be used. Because of the low height of the liquid level in the trough, the cylinders 5 lie close to the surface of the liquid. Because of this, they can be put into operation in a simple manner, without the need of leading the drive journals of the cylinders through the wall of the trough by means of sealed shaft collars; and moreover, they are easily accesible. The overflow pipes 8 and 8' regulate the liquid level in the trough.
An essential part of the machine are special devices, by which the goods to be treated 9 are subjected to the effect of the mixtures or of several liquid or gaseous solutions during their entire passage. For this purpose, one or several columns with liquid or gaseous solutions are provided for as hoods 11B, 11, 12, 13, the bottom sides of which are immersed in the mixture below levels 3 and 3'.
These hoods can be easily lifted off by sprockets or pulleys 14, over which chains or ropes 15 run, which are connected with the hoods and at the free ends of which there are counterweights 16 which keep the hoods balanced. The hoods may consist of transparent plastic or of metal. If the former is the case, the walls must be strong enough to protect the hot treating medium against quick loss of heat. If the latter is the case, they may be insulated and provided with windows for observation, through which the run of material in the interior of the hoods can be checked.
In the interior of the hoods 10, 11, 12, 13, a number of material guiding and treating elements are set up, the shapes and arrangements of which can be different in the different hoods.
Thus, the hood 19 contains guide rollers 17, 17', and 18, over which the material can be led back and forth continuously. A cross partition 19 separates the air space of the hood from the liquid level 3.
Openings 20 or transition slots, which are sealed by soft seals of plastic, see FIG. 3, make the passage of the material to be treated possible.
The cylinders 17, 17', 18 and the cross partition 19 are held by struts 21, which are fastened to the trough 1. If the hood is lifted, the parts in the interior of the hood are laid open. This makes them easily accessible by which the introduction of the product is made easier. Main pipes 22, 23, 24 are connected with the interior of the hood by pipes 25. These pipes immerse in the mixture of the trough 1 and extend to the upper part of the hood.
The pipe 22, for instance, provides the interior of the hood with steam. The pipe 23 can suck the gas or the steam out of the hood, which fact makes it possible for the liquid to fill the hood completely or partially. The plipe 24 serves to feed a liquid into the interior of the If the hood is to be emptied, the valve 26 must be opened whereby the interior of the hood is open to the outer air.
The inner equipment of the hood 11 contains an upper movable guide roll 27, which is held by lateral bearings 28 and which lies above a container 29, which serves, for instance, the purpose of receiving steam heating elements.
The hood 11 likewise contains a horizontal partition 19 as well as a partition 2. Thus, liquid in this part of the container is limited, on the one hand, by trough 1 and on the other hand, by partition 2; the liquid level may thus differ from that of the other part of the container.
If the hood 11 is filled far enough and the partition or the container 29 submerges in the liquid the connection between both liquid levels can be established. For this purpose, the valve 26 must be closed and the valve 30 must be opened. The gaseous medium in the hood is thus sucked out and the treating fluid fills out the space. Also the valve 31, which controls the entrance of the liquid led through pipe 24, could be opened.
Another arrangement is seen in the interior of the hood 12. It contains a fixed cylinder 32, which runs on bearings above the container 33. This container is pulled down to the cross partition 2.
FIG. 1 shows the difference of the liquid levels 3 and 3' in front and behind the partition 2. The supplying of the trough 1 with liquid is effected according to the so called counter-stream principle, that is, the new liquid flows in at the rear end of the trough, as seen in the direction of the travel of the goods. In consequence, the liquid level in the rear 3 is higher than that in the front 3'.
In the interior of the hood 12 there is a tendency for compensation in the material-passage space, by which it is filled with liquid. By lifting effect the liquid level 3 rises over the wall 33 and overflows into the front part of the trough 1.
If the treatment requires it, in this manner, columns of liquid can be created over the entire run of goods.
In the hood 13 another possibility of design is shown. It contains the cylinders 35, 36, 37, and 38, which guarantee an extended run of goods in the smallest space. A partition 39 reaching down to the bottom of the trough 1 permits through suction the circulation of the fluid from one side of this partition to the other.
If needed, the column of liquid can be replaced by a column of gas.
After discharge from the last hood the material is led to a spreader 4t) and then to the squeeze rolls 41.
Squeeze rolls may also be arranged at the delivery end of each hood; likewise, squeezing can take place in the mixture.
The apparatus described and shown in the drawings can, of course, be modified in details of construction without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention, as for example, the hoods or individual parts can be made to vibrate in order to intensify the effect of treatment.

Thoughts? LOL
(Reuters) - The police chief of a small South Carolina town will ask a jury to decide if a woman broke the state's obscenity laws by driving a pickup truck with plastic testicles hanging from the back.
Bonneau Police Chief Franco Fuda ticketed Virginia Tice, 65, in early July at a local convenience store after spying the adornment dangling from her truck.
South Carolina law considers a bumper sticker, decal or device indecent when it describes, in an offensive way as determined by contemporary community standards, "sexual acts, excretory functions, or parts of the human body."
The offense carries a maximum fine of $445 but no jail time, Fuda said.
"This is certainly not a staple of my ticket writing in Bonneau," the police chief told Reuters on Wednesday.
The Charleston law firm Savage & Savage will represent Tice for free, attorney Scott Bischoff said. The trial had been scheduled for next week but was delayed because the defendant will be out of town.
"She's such a sweet lady and she just says 'I don't want to pay the fine.' We'll let a jury decide whether this is really criminal behavior. I don't want to take away from the importance of free speech, but it's really comical," he said.
Lawmakers in some states have sought to ban the colorful plastic or rubber devices that go by brand names such as Bulls Balls and Truck Nutz.
Fuda said if the fake testicles were a free speech issue, "I don't know what they would be trying to express."
"I went to (a) few websites that said, excuse the expression, 'show your nuts,'" he said. "I didn't see anywhere it said support your local proctologist or farmer."
Are we talking about those ones people hang from the trailer hitch of their truck? They are distasteful (no pun intended), but I don't know about criminal.
Yep, that's them!
Quoting VintageWife:

no biggie
I think they are stupid and tacky but not criminal
*sigh* seriously there are just too many laws and stuff
Quoting earthangel1967:I think they are stupid and tacky but not criminal
Well, according to THAT LAW IN THAT STATE, they are subject to a fine. She should probably campaign to have the law changed because it violates freedom of speech.
I think they are childish but IDK about getting fined..I mean the cops wife in me says, well she broke the law(even if it is a stupid law)but the other part in me thinks, REALLY REALLY..LOL
I agree!

27 Sqn
Sqn Formation
Since its formation as a fully-fledged Chinook squadron, 27 Squadron has provided support to the NATO Stabilisation Force (SFOR) operations in the Balkans, deploying to Divulje Barracks in Split, Croatia. They formed 1310 Flight whilst in theatre and flew many sorties over the deployment with several different ground units throughout Bosnia and Kosovo. The Squadron's commitment came to an end in early 2000. In May 2000, the Squadron's ability to rapidly deploy to a new conflict area in Sierra Leone proved its capability and flexibility to react quickly in a peacekeeping and Non Combatant Evacuation role. Operating from Lungi Airport and later aboard HMS OCEAN, the squadron flew several missions in support of OP PALLISER in difficult jungle terrain.
In 2002, 27 Squadron became an integral part of the UK Force's response to the War on Terrorism when it deployed on Operation JACANA in Afghanistan. The Squadron was based at Bagram airfield and Khowst Forward Operating Base having initially operated aboard HMS Ocean and HMS Illustrious. 27 Squadron Chinooks flew over 1,500 hrs in difficult hot and high altitude conditions, supporting 3 Commando Brigade in their efforts to hunt out weapons of mass destruction and terrorists in mountainous terrain.
More recently the Squadron has been deployed on Operations in Iraq supplying crews to 1310 Flight, the Chinook component of Joint Helicopter Force (Iraq). Squadron personnel regularly deploy to Basrah Air Station in Support of Multi National Division (South East). Daily tasks include troop, freight and passenger moves around theatre, Vehicle Check Point operations, supporting ground operations, under-slung load operations and 'top cover'/show of force sorties. The Flight also operates at Camp Abu Naji-a Forward Operating Base at Al Amarah where crews provide a 24 hour a day, 30 minutes notice to move, Immediate Response Team. The Squadron flies over 50 sorties a month in support of Operation TELIC-the UK 's continued support to rebuilding Iraq after UK/US led forces removed Saddam Hussain from power and ended his long dictatorship in Iraq.
The bottom line
27 Squadron is constantly ready to deploy at short notice in support of UK operations and the Joint Rapid Reaction Force (JRRF) worldwide and has proved itself capable to respond at great speed and in a wide variety of theatres including Jungle, Mountainous, Desert and is capable of Amphibious Operations aboard HMS OCEAN.

IU guard Victor Oladipo talked to the media after Sunday's 72-71 victory at Michigan that gave the Hoosiers the outright Big Ten title.
On Michigan's last shot that hung on the rim:
"It seemed like it was hanging there 2.5 to 3 hours. I'm kind of speechless. It's been a crazy run. We've had our share of ups and downs. This team comes together. I'm so proud of my teammates. They did a phenomenal job."
On guarding Michigan's Trey Burke:
"I was just trying to make him tired and slow him down. Picking him up full court and denying his touches, get him out rhythm. He's a phenomenal player. He hit big shots. Tough shots. It was a good overall victory. I wasn't the only one guarding him. We had fresh bodies banging on him. It was a good overall win."
Showing emotion after the game:
"The last couple of games I wasn't myself. I wasn't playing at a high level. Coach Crean wanted to get back to the old Vic that my teammates need from me to win. Play defense at a high level, leading and doing whatever it takes to win. It was a variety of emotions. It just came out."
On winning first outright title since 1993:
"It's a crazy feeling. That's the reason why I came here. To be known as one of the greats. It's the reason why Indiana came back, to be a part of that. I couldn't have done it without these guys. I really couldn't have done it without Cody Zeller, Jordan Hulls, Mo Creek, Christian Watford, everybody. God brought us all together so we could accomplish something better than ourselves. These guys did a wonderful job. They work hard every day. They deserve it."
On the Big Ten player of the year:
"I've been saying all year long Cody should be player of the year. If you guys don't give it to him, no disrespect, but there's something wrong with you all."
On rally from a five-point deficit in the last 52 seconds:
"We've been in that position before. We practice time and score all the time. We realized we had to come together and execute at the end. We did a great job of it.
The big fella made the big plays."
On deserving a NCAA No. 1 seed:
"We take it one game at a time. We treat every game like it's our last one."

I probably will not be able to get one for atleast 6 months to a year unless I am lucky enough to win one. I can't stop thinking about it though. It will be so worth it when that Wiimote is finally in my hands. Hopefully Nintendo will make a better wrist strap so it will stay in my hands.
I think this is a great for people who are lazy
it will get them off the couch and get a some excercise
really the only game that ive played is LOZ and its great but i think most people can wait for it and a wii. more games will come out and you can catch up on it and play others then. i just now bought a cheap ps2 and am catching up on the top games. its not like this is a one and a lifetime thing. live for a few months, and then pick it up. its the same thing with the ps3. no real reason to get the system when there arent any games to play on it.

Antonio Di Natale is committed to Udinese "for life" after the veteran striker shrugged off renewed interest from Serie A champions Juventus.
The 35-year-old has scored 158 league goals in a prolific nine-year spell with Udinese, notching 23 in the 2012-13 season to finish six goals behind top scorer Edinson Cavani of Napoli.
His final-day strike in a 5-2 victory at Inter Milan confirmed his side's qualification for the Europa League for another year.
Juve are eager to strengthen their forward line and, having already secured Spanish striker Fernando Llorente from Athletic Bilbao, the Bianconeri are reportedly preparing a fresh approach for Di Natale.
Naples-born Di Natale rejected a move to Turin in 2010 and the chance to further establish himself as an icon in Udine means the answer will remain the same this summer.
"I think that what I've done with Udinese will go down in the history of the club," he told fifa.com. "I don't see that as something insignificant.
"The truth is that I've found my natural home in Friuli and I've never thought about leaving a team, a town and a family - the Pozzos [Giampaolo Pozzo is Udinese's president] - who have adopted me like a son.
"I miss Naples and I'm proud to be Neapolitan, but Udine is like a second home for me. I'm feeling great here and I feel the love from the fans.
"When Juventus contacted me, I told their president [Andrea Agnelli] that I wanted to stay here. That's how we decided that I'd stay here for life.
"There isn't too much pressure here. You can lose a few games and still be able to work in peace. The results speak for that approach. Everyone does their job well - the players, the coach and the club."
Di Natale, who joined Udinese from Empoli in 2004, has one year remaining on his contract at the Stadio Friuli.

Need a motor oil flush?
Mega Power's Engine Sludge Removing Product cleans 6 ways better than common motor oil flush products from quick lubes and parts stores.
The real problems Mega Power ends to clean and restore your motor's great running - not just clean operation again.
Me, and thousands of mechanics have taken apart motors for investigation and repair. What we see and fix is now known to be just half of a dirty motor's real problem - the condition that causes your engine to sludge-up and cause it to run as if nearly worn out.
Here's what I mean by that.
What you should know.
Engine sludge forms from combustion blowby fumes slipping past your motor's many piston rings - bracelet like devices meant to block or limit combustion escape. Got that point?
When excessive, nasty, hot blowby mixes with your motor oil it produces sludge. Sludge in the oil then settles out and deters your motor's piston, bearing, valves, sparking, and combustion such - causing the engine problem you have.
Oils inability to stop blowby - and clean dirty piston rings, the troublemaker, and also clean up the engines blowby exiting system - is now correctable in your motor with our easy-to-use, recommended Mega Power Brand engine sludge removing product. Reviewed here with Ordering info, below.
They examine the oils and sludge for problem-causing clues with a special microscope. Something no mechanic can do.
Then test different chemicals on live engines, and tear them a apart to see what improvements, or harm was made in the sludge-removing process.
Over time, that research produced the most effective sludge-removing formula, and what I call the Mega Power Motor Cleaning Treatment. Reviewed here...
How Mega Power's New Flush Treatment ends sludge forming motor oil flush problems, other engine flushes cannot - to get you motor running great again.
Mega Power holds in suspension for drain out what it loosens, preventing what it lossens from re-depositing somewhere else in your motor.
Isn't that motor oil flush your car needs?
We used them all! Our Wining Choice is Mega Power, too...
If you looked around for advice on this subject you can't help notice there's a lot of different opinions given as to engine care.
Our review covers the Good, the Bad, and, What's New and Better to clean your motor internally.
Did you know...
Most engine cleaning methods and additive flush brands in use today come done to us from your grandfathers Model A Car days?
The major cleaner back then, used as a sludge remover, or engine flush, were solvents. They were then packaged as an additive.
Solvent engine flush products clean well, but strip your motor of its critical lube film while doing so. That is not good, of course.
That has always been one negative about flushing your motor then - and still is today!
They are even worst for your motor today, because today's motors and transmissions are lubricated under very demanding conditions that do not tolerate any lack of oil breakdown.
I'll introduce to you this new Mega Power Product that cleans much more effectively. 3 times more effective - and does what common engine flushes sold today, can't do to help your motor run clean and good as near new, again.
This Mega Power motor oil cleaner works so well, customer tell us, it has ended many costly-to-repair engine wear problems.
The product works - on the microscopic level, the place where baked-on sludge and wear causes you trouble.
Back in the old days..
Every motor's inside condition became coated with a thick, ugly coating of oil sludge.
This sticky, gooey mess would choked-down your motor performance - as you can imagine, and usually wore it out prematurely. It use to happen every couple years....anyhow.
When your motor failed to run much, any longer, it was torn apart, cleaned, and rebuilt. To help the cleaning process...
Each mechanic mixed his own "elixir"
His flush was made to rinse out the buckets of "goo" before he dismantled your motor.
That way, there would be less gunk and goo for the mechanic to mess with, when apart.
They mixed stuff found around the shop;
Kerosene, paint thinner, diesel fuel, even automatic transmission fluid - and still offered as a remedy by some.
The mechanic poured a quart of their mix into your ailing motor.
In the process of flushing your motor for a while...
This solvent cleaner slosh around and wash your motor parts free of its accumulated goo. And usually....
What came lose
Settles in the motor's oil pan; which was then unbolted and cleaned, along with dismantling of the motor for cleaning and overhaul.
The varnish-like film that caused the actual problem was buff-off with a rotating wire brush, afterward.
Those bad part of solvent-based cleaners is that they destroy your motors oil lube film. The critical film that separates your motors moving parts.That is a bad thing.
With the oil film destroyed, plenty of metal-to-metal grinding and friction ravaged the bearings, pistons, and rear surfaces.
Back then....
Who cared - as those parts were all replaced with new.
Those were the Model A era motor oil flush methods. However....
Those same methods and solvent ingredients, - are still in products sold in parts stores and quick lubes and sold as
engine cleaners, engine flush, engine and transmission stop leaks,
The neighborhood quick lube near me, bought a $3000 machine that's hooked up to the motor filter and it forces a solvent thru-out the motor. They sold quite a few of these services.
After an number of sudden, unexpected engine and transmission failures in their customer cars that used this service - their insurance company or the owner paid for some new engines and transmissions because of it. Flushing there, came to a sudden stop!
My Mega Power Flush does not have a high enough profit for them, so Mega Power is of no interest to them. Yet, hundreds of thousands use Mega Power to end their sludge problems. Mega Power is a detergent!
Their flush, or any solvent flush idea, sounds good - but, if you don't know all the facts, trouble in a month or so is not far away. They found this out expensively. Their machine now sits collecting dust in the lube bay. I wasn't the only person who told them that solvents will ruin your motor and transmission.
After 30 years, you seen what works and what does not!
And today... Who else cares that
Down the road, the solvent flushes are destructive to your motor?
Would it be the engine part-makers and part-store owner moguls who bought-up those brands, who know all this, and who sell those products today to unsuspecting car owners?
And, who profit off the ignorance passed on by many online experts?
Here's the point. Sludge problems will always develop.
That's because engines operate at metal-melting combustion temperatures of around 1,800 degrees to 2,200 degrees.
This fries the oil, gums-up the rings, cause higher amounts of compression "blow-by, which sludge's the oil. And creates performance problems.
What's needed is new flush chemistry technology for today's hi-tech engine needs.
Introducing a new problem-solving motor oil flush from Mega Power.
Mega Power is a leader in the developing of new, safe engine flushes, cleaners, and engine protectors.
Mega Power Motor Oil Flush
That temperature helps Mega Power remove the burnt oil that gums-up the piston rings, that - when sticky, causes higher amounts of compression "blow-by. Ending those and other performance problems.
Lightning-fast cleaning detergents, and the friction-reducing ingredient protectors - along with MC+, make this a great engine cleaning and anti-wear care product.

CHESTERTOWN The Chester Veterans' Memorial plaza, an upcounty landmark reflecting local pride and patriotism, has received a substantial donation for its enhancement and completion.
Thursday May 16, dozens of employees of Glens Falls' Home Depot are to be working at the plaza — located in front of the Chester Municipal Center — installing walkways, shrubs and granite benches.
The Home Depot Foundation has donated about $11,000 in materials, and the employees of the home-improvement chain have donated their time and talents in the effort.
American Legion Post 964 Commander Joanne Ellsworth hailed Home Depot's contribution this week.
"This is absolutely awesome — above and beyond expectations," she said. "It is outstanding that a Glens Falls business is assisting us in our remote and rural community."
Post Vice Commander Joe Slattery also offered his praise.
"It's great to see Home Depot step up and do something like this," he said. "The Chester Veterans' Memorial is the centerpiece of town, and these enhancements will make it stand out even more."
Home Depot employees, with the help of the town of Chester workers, will be installing pavers in the memorial plaza's two side walkways, which to date have been merely gravel paths.
Shrubs are to be planted on the front edge of the plaza — on the side nearest Main St — behind four new granite benches. Two of these benches have been purchased by Glens Falls National Bank — one by the corporation, and the other by the bank employees. Another of the benches has been purchased by Home Depot, and the other by Hick's Monuments, Slattery said.
Home Depot's donation of money and talent includes landscaping efforts.
New shrubs and plants are to be planted between the Municipal Center building and the Veterans' Memorial monuments.
The memorial is a series of eight stones in a semicircular arrangement in front of the Municipal Center. The six-feet-tall memorials honor the men and women from the town of Chester who served their nation from the Revolutionary War to the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I just got some good news. Mon my Dr did a fetal fibronectin test and they just called and said it was negative which means that it is very unlikely that I will deliver in the next 2 weeks. I am 27.5 weeks right now, so it would be great to make it to almost 30! Today marks 4 weeks since the contractions started. I can't belive it. My first goal was to make it to 28 weeks and I'm almost there. Next goal will be 31 weeks because that is how far along I was when I delivered my daughter. The most difficult part now seems to be keeping my spirits up and not dwelling on the worst case scenarios. I seem to have the worst time with that in the middle of the night when I can't sleep. I will start getting all worked up and freaked out. I have a hard time sleeping with all of the contractions anyhow, so that just makes it worse. Thanks for reading!

The Chico's Debate: One of the 'Best Mexican Restaurants In America' – Yes or No? [POLL]
Chicos Tacos. You either love them or hate them. There's really no in between. It is a debate that has raged in our city for decades, and now thanks to an article on the internet newspaper The Huffington Post, that debate has gone national. Is the iconic El Paso restaurant one of the best Mexican restaurants in America?
Gustavo Arellano — author of the syndicated column ¡Ask a Mexican!, and the new book "Taco USA: How Mexican Food Conquered America" — seems to think so. He thinks it's the 7th best, in fact, calling them "legendary taquitos…unknown to any other Mexican restaurant outside this legendary chain", referring to Chico's.
Another El Paso favorite, comedian Gabriel Iglesias, sang its praises in one of his Comedy Central stand up specials. "I never thought I'd see the day," he says jokingly, "when I could drink a taco." Even celebrity chef Aaron Sanchez, of Food Network's "The Best Thing I Ever Ate", has gone so far as to declare the soupy concoction " the most wonderful thing you'll ever have."
But not everyone is a fan. Myrna Minjares hit up the Mike and Tricia Facebook wall to declare Chico's Tacos "not mexican food at all." Adriana Leal agreed with Myrna's sentiments on the Kiss Facebook wall, adding "that's like saying Taco Bell is Mexican [food]."
So where do you fall on the Chico's debate? One of the 7 best Mexican restaurants in America, yes or no? You can comment below, or here and here and vote in our poll:
Gabriel Iglesias – "Chico's Tacos"
Aaron Sanchez – "The Best Thing I Ever Ate With My Hands"

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have always stuck to their guns. Mojo, the bands latest release and first album since 2002's The Last DJ, was recorded live in their suburban Los Angeles recording studio, with minimal over-dubs, and nary a day spent on each track. The band doesn't bother with modern sounds or worry themselves with appearing fresh and cutting-edge, instead they hone in on their famous Americana style, and add a heavy touch of rusty blues, filtering classic Petty MO through a blend of Allman Brothers, John Lee Hooker, and Little Walter.
This may be the most all-inclusive Heartbreakers record yet. Petty told Rolling Stone, in reference to the band, "We're joined in the cause. We respect the band as more important than our individual problems, and we're getting along ridiculously well. It's disgusting to see old men so happy." And focusing on the band may be the best move for Petty at this stage in his career; the happiness and one-for-all vibe come easily noticed on Mojo. The band is laid back, having fun, and locked-in. Mike Campbell reigns supreme as one of the most underrated guitarists in classic rock, Scott Thurston lays down beautifully executed rhythm guitar work, keyboardist/harpist Benmont Tench adds tasteful accents all over the place, with drummer Steve Ferrone and bassist Ron Blair chugging along in the background.
Opening track "Jefferson Jericho Blues" is a raucous square dance number, heavy on harmonica and pedal steel, and reminiscent of The Basement Tapes. "First Flash of Freedom" is a seven-minute jam with a warm, swaying melody and Duane Allman-inspired fret work. "Running Man's Bible" is classic Petty, a radio-friendly, steady paced blues number loaded with smooth guitar interplay and an exuberant chorus. The slow songs are particularly captivating, "No Reason to Cry" is a lugubrious acoustic number about love lost, "Something Good Coming" is a spirited and subdued balled about existential crisis. The country/blues direction is heavy on tracks like "Let Yourself Go", "I Should Have Known It", "Takin' My Time", and "U.S. 41".
If any song has a chance of reaching the canonical status of "Refugee", "Won't Back Down", or any of the other classic Petty songs ingrained in the American psyche, it'd have to be the infectious California-blues number "The Trip to Pirate's Cove" a song about, well, driving down the road – typical Petty subject matter. It's also the first of two songs where Petty references the marijuana trade, "I got a friend in Mendocino/And it's gettin' close to harvest time," before the first ever Heartbreakers foray into reggae with "Don't Pull Me Over," a mellow, half baked track about driving down the road (again) and getting pulled over by a cop, "What I've got to do won't hurt anyone/When the moonlight turns to blue light/Makes me so afraid/So let me go/Leave me 'lone/'til I'm home and safe/Don't pull me over let me pass on by/Don't pull me over/Should be legalized," making it apparent that Petty still enjoys the occasional dance with Mary Jane. But more importantly, Mojo on the whole is a testament to the staying power of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and a familiar reminder of the Petty we all know so well.

Gulfstream Park: Purple Egg recovering from illness
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - Purple Egg, who won all three of his starts at 2, lost out on the opportunity to open his 3-year-old campaign here Tuesday in the Gulfstream Park Derby after spiking a fever over the weekend.
"He had a temperature of 101.6 on Sunday morning, which eventually went up to 102.5," said trainer Jane Cibelli, who has Purple Egg stabled at Tampa Bay Downs. "We did a little blood work and it was slightly off kilter. He was obviously fighting some kind of virus or something, and although he was okay on Tuesday, naturally we are going to err on the side of caution."
Cibelli said she's uncertain when Purple Egg might return.
"We'll get him back to the track, see how he trains and how healthy he is before making any decisions," said Cibelli. "Obviously the Pasco at Tampa in a couple of weeks is a thought. If he's not well enough, then we might think about the Holy Bull."
Cibelli said her major objectives for Purple Egg this winter are Tampa's Grade 3 Sam F. Davis and Grade 2 Tampa Bay Derby.
Get him back to health Mioss Chelli . He is a good DERBY horse!!!!!

Just now figuring out that joy and suffering are all tangled up together and to avoid one is to miss out on the other. Trying to grab hold of joy where ever it is found and hold on tight.
Score one for the underdog
It was a perfect day; the sun shone but there was a breeze that kept things cool and big shade trees. I had time to almost complete a sweater I've been knitting for the Girl for a very long time while I watched them play. I love the way the Girl now pretends to feed every toy animal she comes across, including the plastic fish on a giant spring who received many generous handfuls of sand to satisfy it's appetite.
The day was even more memorable toward the end because of a little boy who became fast friends with my Boy. They played all of the games together that little boys do, blending into each other's worlds of make-believe seamlessly. At one point they were playing with two large rubber balls that the other boy owned when some bigger boys came and thought it would be funny to play a game of keep away with the Boy's new friend. They quickly tossed the ball back and forth while the little boy screamed in frustration stomping his feet in his impotence. I was just moving to step in and play a round of the playground parent game just as I saw my Boy start growling and charge toward one of the boys who was tormenting his friend. He was ready for battle; he is a staunch defender of his friends and family. Neither of us got to do anything however, for just as we began to move, this little boy picked up a handful of sand and with impressive accuracy flung (I want to say flang, oh Mel what have you done to me?) it into the eyes of the boy holding his ball. His tormentor staggered in surprise, dropped the ball, and staggered back rubbing his eyes.
Am I a bad mother because I laughed out loud and cheered inside my head? Because that's what I did, I was so impressed with this little guy's ability to strategize and stand up to those bullies. They left the playground a minute later.
I told the Genius Husband about it when he arrived to pick us up. His only question was, "Did the Boy see it."
To my affirmative reply he emphatically stated, "Good!"
Maybe we're both bad parents.

It's tough, to figure out how to teach our kids to defend themselves but to also remain gentle.ReplyDelete
Sand in the eyes can be pretty bad, and while I would have also been proud of the smaller kid defending himself, I would have felt really bad if the other kid had scratched corneas.
If it were my kid, I would have commended them for defending themselves fearlessly but then told him to use a swift kick to the shin next time. The perpetrator was also a kid afterall.

HI Carrien, I've been reading your food blog and can't post a comment as it wanted google details which I don't have. So thought that I'd do it here (couldn't find e-mail for you either)- sorry!ReplyDelete
Ditto - I'm enjoying your blog too. I live in New Zealand and have a 4 year old boy and 2 year old girl (snap!)and I'd love to slowly improve our eating habits. I think if I changed too much at once, I'd have a mutiny on my hands.
Here, here - the water! My children drink predominantly water and love it.
Wish that my kids ate more veges - potatoes, carrots and cucumbers are sure things, but anything else is hit and miss. Thankfully the fruit consumption is better!
Any ideas of encouraging children to try new foods? My 4 year old is not that keen to try things - often the texture seems to put him off.
Sorry - I've really gone on!
Anyway, look forward to your future posts!
Cheers, Wilm

BMW's New Four Cylinder: a Detailed Look
What? BMW? MotoringFile is a MINI based site right? Yes and yes but today (thanks to our sister site BimmerFile) we bring you a look into the future of the MINI brand by looking at it's corporate cousin. Earlier this year BMW released details on an entirely new family of four cylinder engines. The first up is the 2.0 N20 that will be most of the line-up within 18 months. It also signals a new where MINI is headed as well. For some time we've know that MINI will be moving to a three cylinder engine. What you see above will form the basis of that 1.5L 3 banger. And there may even be a chance that we'll see a variation of the N20 in future MINI products. So to give you a head start at understanding where MINI will be heading in the years ahead, we're going to take a deep dive in to the N20 and some of the technology at its heart.
We all know times are a changing; the age of horsepower wars and increasing performance through displacement is a closed chapter in the book of automotive history. Cheap and seemingly endless petroleum based fuels are really not so cheap these days and definitely will be approaching Mad Max like conditions sooner than many had originally thought. Greenhouse gas emissions threaten air quality and whether or not the climate is changing is a debate for another day but as a global society we are trying to get more from less in order to conserve what we do have. All of this has opened the eyes of auto manufactures and consumers, especially BMW through its Efficient Dynamics program and more recently introduced sub brand BMW i. Times have changed so drastically that the BMW brand will now be selling four cylinders in the US again, something that has not occurred since the 1990's.
The aluminum N20 four cylinder is so advanced and such a marvel it is not even worth comparing it to the previous stateside BMW offering. The N20 will feature a single dual scroll turbo taking gasses from opposing cylinders to force feed the engine air at 10-11 PSI. It produces 240hp and 260 ft/lbs. Staggering, but possible due to a number of key components- direct injection, variable valve timing and lift (VANOS and Valvetronic). It produces a whopping 120 hp per liter! Some of the intricacies that would go unmentioned by most is what we found the most interesting.
In our discussions with Dr. Harald Unger at NYIAS, head of inline engine development in Munich, we developed an excellent feel for these new breakthroughs that make this engine look so good; at least on paper. This engine is the first from BMW that we know of that features LDS (Lichtbogendrahtspritzen) coated cylinder walls. LDS has already been used for a handful of years by other manufacturers (namely Mercedes Benz's AMG division) with great success. LDS is also known as a twin wire arc spray process. A twin wire arc spray gun is composed of two consumable electrodes (two iron wires in BMWs case) brought toward a converging point wherein an electric arc is generated. This arc then melts the continuously advancing iron wires. An atomizing gas (inert) flowing through the arc produces a molten droplet spray jet that is directed toward the surface of the part to be coated, in this case the aluminum cylinder wall. It is basically a plasma cutter/welder that has the molten metal blown with the droplets creating a coating. What LDS permits is a thinner/lighter cylinder wall, for the N20 that is initially .4 mm which is honed down to .2mm; minuscule when compared to the typical iron sleeve. The decreased thickness allows for greater thermal transfer and consistency all while allowing extra cooling channels (part of the water jacket) between cylinder bores so the engine can been tuned "hotter" since the cooling properties are greater.
Aside from the space age coating, the engineers have tweaked the angles and balance in this engine to make it nearly as smooth at 5k rpms as the inline six it replaces. Unger explained, that NVH is as close to a six as is possible with current technologies but "it's not possible to achieve it completely". This is accomplished by first offsetting the crank and pistons by 14mm. The next step is to use two height staggered (but inline) balancer shafts which are located in the bottom end/oil pan to harmonically balance the engine as much as possible. The lower shaft also powers a MAP controlled oil pump- this essentially means the engine management software activates a solenoid which allows oil to be pumped through galleys. This pumping is based on engine demand (load/RPM and temperature) and is near instantaneous. To further improve smoothness the engineers used a dual mass fly wheel and centrifugal fly weights. These effectively act like those little weights on your car's wheels, balancing rotation but unlike the wheel weights these are independently adjustable (really great stuff in our opinion).
With a flat torque curve and quicker 0-60 times, customers will feel the car as faster all while consuming 20% less dead dinosaur. Which in these days of $4.50+ premium is not a bad thing for the wallet or the planet. According to Dr. Unger, the 6 speed manual will see almost identical fuel economy numbers as the automatic. This is thanks to changes in gearing which were permitted because of the flat torque curve and quick revving nature of this engine.
So you have read this far and are concerned that we have not mentioned weight; How much does lopping off a few magnesium cylinders save you as compared the six cylinder the N20 is replacing? A 22 pound loss is netted and that is nothing to sneeze at considering a dual scroll turbo, Valvetronic and some plumbing was added.
We look forward to testing the N20 engine as soon as we get the opportunity to as it sounds like a sweetheart of an engine and will form the basis of the majority of BMWs future offerings. It will even spawn an ///M version if sources are to be believed.
Our future review will come from behind the wheel of a roadster, the Z4 sDrive28i and not the as planned X1. The X1 was to launch in NY but thanks to the world markets consuming more than BMW can currently produce a US launch has been pushed back indefinitely- the X1 is coming just there is no set timeline currently but the four cylinder engine will be here and will be the base engine in new models for years to come.
And what about MINI? Expect similar technology packed in that 1.5L 3 cylinder design that we spoke about earlier. Power will range from approximately 122 hp on in the Cooper and 180 hp in the Cooper S. Yes that means MINI will have lighter engines with less cylinder making the same if not more horsepower. And efficiency? Expect upper 40s on the highway for the US cycle. Not a bad change in our book.

Step 1: Make the torso
Make a tube which goes around your waist up to under your shoulders. this part is going to take some of the weight of the costume, so it should be snug at the waist and sit on your hips. It's simply as a tube of foam, glued together with a 15cm overlap at the front or back.
Step 2: Shape the head
Whilst wearing the waist section and the head section, cut out some armholes and glue the two sections together.
Now you should be wearing a big tube, and you need to shape the head. Basically you need to cut it like a bishops hat (i've posted a pic of one for example) and glue the seam together at the top. I made mine so the front of the head is flat/vertical, and the back came forward to meet the front (you can see what i mean in the diagram). That's the opposite of what a shark looks like, but otherwise i think you'll find your head is poking out of the shark's mouth like it's eaten you feet first (which may also look cool!).
Step 3: Add the teeth
I love how you used the foam for teeth. Looks great. :D

ICTR on Dec. 1 announced its 2015 Pilot Awards Program that incorporates the T0 to T4 research classifications introduced in UW ICTR Today last year. These targeted research areas will continue to include basic discovery research, patient-based clinical research, patient-centered outcomes research, dissemination and implementation (D&I) research, community engaged research, and discovery and development of novel therapeutics. RFAs for five awards are posted; the Novel Methods Awards RFA will be posted in the first quarter of 2015.
ICTR continually updates the pilot awards program to include new initiatives and funding opportunities, such as our service laboratory vouchers and D&I supplements. We provide workshops and short courses on specific topics for investigators seeking to enter new research areas, as well as online SMPH Video Library resources.

Novel Therapeutics Discovery & Development Pilot Awards Program
UW ICTR strongly endorses recent campus initiatives that further the Wisconsin Idea by facilitating development of discoveries, as these complement our own efforts to improve human health. We are releasing the Novel Therapeutics Discovery & Development Pilot Awards Program to provide support for discovery and development of new small molecules, biologics, devices, and diagnostics. Investigators will be invited to submit a full proposal based upon information requested in a mandatory letter of intent.
ICTR Novel Methods Awards Program
The second round of our Novel Methods Awards Program has a new focus: projects that advance development of therapeutic discovery and development platforms. Applications must contain proposed methods and technologies that demonstrate compelling proof of principle in a specific field of application, and must be generally applicable (though not necessarily disease specific). The methods and technologies should not be project specific. Contact/Liaison: Peggy Hatfield (pmhatfiewisc [dot] edu, 608-261-1939)
Community & Clinical Outcomes Research Pilot (formerly known as the Type 2 Translational Research pilot)
This funding supports translational research that addresses the gap between what we know and what we do in clinical practice, community health programs, and the development of health policy. This includes the development of interventions that require individual, organizational, or system behavior change and their relationship to improvements in health, and comparative effectiveness research.
Projects funded in previous rounds.
Dissemination & Implementation Research Award Program
This award program will provide support for research that addresses how to best ensure evidence-based strategies / interventions / programs are effectively delivered in clinical practice and community health programs.
Patient‐Centered Outcomes Research Award
Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) is a new approach to research that focuses on engaging stakeholders throughout the research process as well as ensuring implementation and dissemination of research results. As such, many investigators lack the infrastructure, partnerships and preliminary data to apply for funding opportunities in this area. The goal of this RFA is to provide support for activities leading to a PCORI (Patient-Centered Research Outcomes Institute) application.
Previous ICTR Pilot Programs (New RFAs to be released in 2015)
ICTR CAP Dissemination Supplement Award
(RFA Release: August 1, 2014) ICTR-Community-Academic Partnerships core offers its second round of dissemination supplements to address the gap between University-based research discoveries and the translation of this knowledge into programs and policies to improve the health of the public. This 2014 award supports the dissemination of evidence-based strategies where the research was largely conducted at UW-Madison or Marshfield Clinic. However, the Principal Investigator for the proposed project does not need to be the individual who conducted the research. For more information contact: Melody Bockenfeld (bockenfeldwisc [dot] edu, 608-262-8173).
Marshfield Clinic/Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation-UW Madison (MC/MCRF-UW) Collaborative Research Pilot Award
(RFA Release: July 31, 2015)The Marshfield-UW Research Pilot Award will provide support for proposals that build upon the research interests and infrastructure support of both partners. Applications must demonstrate a collaboration between MC/MCRF and UW-Madison and indicate a single co-PI at each institution. Examples of projects include: use of population-based clinical data for therapeutic or basic targets; and computational tool development or use to guide clinical trials, gather/analyze electronic health records data, or guide diagnosis. Contact/Liaison: Peggy Hatfield (pmhatfiewisc [dot] edu, 608-261-1939)

Five chasing front-runner Furyk
By Doug Ferguson, Associated Press : August 10, 2013 : Updated: August 12, 2013 10:33am

(Photo by David Cannon/Getty Images)
PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Oak Hill finally had enough elements for a strong test Saturday in the PGA Championship, and Jim Furyk was up for the fight.
Grinding to the end in swirling wind that cast doubt on so many shots, Furyk closed with two big putts — one for birdie to regain the lead, one for par to keep it — that gave him a 2-under 68 and one-shot lead over Jason Dufner going into the final round.
Coming off an 18-foot birdie putt on the 17th, Furyk hit his 3-wood so badly on the 472-yard closing hole that he couldn't have reached the green even if he had been in the fairway. He hit a solid shot over the bunkers and back into the fairway, watched his third shot spin off the green onto the fringe, and he gave an emphatic fist pump when his 15-foot par putt curled in the left side of the cup for par.
"Obviously, I made a bad swing," Furyk said. "This week, I haven't let too much bother me. It was a nice way to finish the day."
Sunday doesn't figure to be any easier — not the course, and not with the guys chasing him.
Dufner thought he had missed another putt on the 18th hole until gravity pulled the ball into the side of the cup for a par that gave him a 71. Sure, it was eight shots worse than his record-tying 63 on a soft course Friday, but at least he got into the final group at the PGA Championship for the second time in three years.
Henrik Stenson, a runner-up at the British Open three weeks ago, dropped only one shot over the last 16 holes and ran in a pair of 12-foot birdie putts for a 69 and was two shots behind. Sweden's odds of winning a major have never been this high. Stenson will play in the penultimate group with Jonas Blixt, who had a 66.
The surprise was Masters champion Adam Scott, who was poised to seize control at any moment.
Scott blasted a driver on the uphill, 318-yard 14th hole that was so pure, he snatched his tee from the ground as the ball was still rising. It stopped 25 feet below the cup, and he had an eagle putt to tie for the lead. The Australian two-putted for birdie, and two holes later fell back with a double bogey on the 16th. Scott escaped further damage with a 15-foot par save on the 17th and managed a 72. He was four shots behind, along with Steve Stricker, who had a 70.
Those were the only five players within five shots of the lead. Whether more join the chase depends on Furyk, who was at 9-under 201.
Still with an outside chance was Rory McIlroy, who came to life with three birdies over his last six holes for a 67. McIlroy, trying to join Tiger Woods and Padraig Harrington as the only repeat winners of the PGA in the stroke-play era, knocked in a 40-foot birdie putt on the 17th, then showed more emotion than he has all year when he chipped in for birdie on the 18th.
"It was good to feel the sort of rush again," McIlroy said.
He was at 207, still six shots behind.
Woods, meanwhile, will have to wait eight more months to end his drought in the majors. He opened with two bogeys in three holes and shot a 73 to fall 13 shots behind. It was a shocking performance from the world's No. 1 player, mainly because he was coming off an eight-shot win at Firestone that included a 61.
Woods has made only seven birdies in 54 holes — four of them on par 3s.
British Open champion Phil Mickelson was even worse. He sprayed the ball all over Oak Hill on his way to a 78, matching his highest score ever in the PGA Championship.
Furyk wasn't overly excited when he opened this championship with a 65 to share the lead with Scott, and he has kept his eyes in front of him since then. He wasn't even sure what the leaderboard looked like, except that his name was at the top.
"I'm comfortable with where I'm at," Furyk said. "There's a crowded leaderboard at the top, and instead of really viewing it as who is leading and who is not, I'm really viewing it as I need to go out there tomorrow and put together a good, solid round of golf. Fire a good number and hope it stacks up well."

Man pleads to murder of twice-betrayed buddy
By Craig Kapitan : September 24, 2013 : Updated: September 25, 2013 6:06am
More Information
San Antonio – On the same night he had sex with his buddy's girlfriend, Atascosa resident Matthew Martinez ambushed the friend on the side of a rural Bexar County road, shooting him multiple times, according to witnesses.
On Tuesday, Martinez, 26, pleaded no contest to the Dec. 30, 2011, murder in exchange for a 20-year prison term.
Authorities found the body of Abraham Molina Arteaga, 24, in a heavily wooded, semisecluded area near Finley Road that same day.
Arteaga showed up to a party in Atascosa, a community in Southwest Bexar County, within an hour of when the defendant and Bernadette Rodriguez slept together, Rodriguez told investigators.
Her boyfriend stormed out of the party and left in a car with the defendant and Rolando "Rudy" Esparza, 27, after getting jealous of another man there, Rodriguez said.
Less than 2 miles away from the party, Arteaga demanded to get out of the car, Esparza told authorities. Moments later, Esparza said, he heard a blast, noticed a gun in the defendant's hand and heard Arteaga exclaim, "He shot me, dog."
The defendant had predicted before the car ride that he was "going to smoke him," and Esparza had suggested he not do that, he said.
Esparza had been charged with murder for helping to dispose of the gun and shell casings. Earlier this year, however, prosecutors dropped their case against him and granted him immunity in exchange for his cooperation.

Railin' at the River
There are certain time-honored traditions in the custom truck scene and West Coast Nationals, hosted by Bob Hase and the crew from Sunset, is one of them. Picture three fun-filled days of badass mini and full size trucks cruising through La Paz County Park, which is planted firmly on the banks of the Colorado River. A full throttle custom truck party descends every year on La Paz with thousands of truck guys and gals displaying their rides for top honors and a few door-dragging bragging rights. (more…)

Gala created a perfectly grand "raisson d'etre diary" , explaining that it is possible to make beautiful erotica. I am one who appreciates 'gush', and she offers it up abundantly. Wetness, and you can certainly Hear it too, is glorious, up there with 'shower of sparks in the head & hard, vocal, bucking orgasms =pure things of beauty'. One psychologist said the moments after an orgasm are the sanest any of us can possibly feel. We certainly do need to do away with the word, 'masturbation' which is moribund stigma. Any suggestions on this 'new term' for the most important event in our lives on this forlorn sea of existence?
I have one. An Italian word I picked up in "La Rondine" by Puccini : "Deliziosa"

The San Juan County Sheriff has identified a pedestrian killed Sunday on U.S. 550.
Nathan Sylvester, 28, of Bloomfield, died after being hit by a car driven by Todd Begay, 35, of Aztec.
Begay told police that he was driving south when something stumbled into his lane in the dark.
Begay was not sure what he hit, but immediately turned back to check and saw it was a person. Begay called 911 and began CPR.
Emergency crews arrived and pronounced Sylvester dead at the scene.
No foul play is suspected and Begay is not believed to have been impaired.
Several cans of alcohol – some empty and some unopened – were found on Sylvester. His toxicology report is pending.

A Speaker Series Moving Through Time
The Neill-Cochran House Museum inaugurated its speaker series seven years ago, naming it Modern Times because when Abner Cook built this Greek Revival residence, it was a state-of-the-art gem. The families for whom the House is named updated the structure when conveniences became available – gas, indoor plumbing, electricity, and more – keeping it "modern." For presenters, these informal talks, or conversations, have drawn on a talented pool of experts throughout Texas. Audience members began the series by stepping back into the middle of the 19th century to 1855 when the Neill-Cochran House was constructed.
Talks are presented by the Friends of the Neill-Cochran House Museum and are free to members of the Friends. Individual and corporate sponsorships make this benefit possible and keep the price low for new participants. At only $10 per person per program, the ticket price is one of the state's best bargains – especially since refreshments are included!
