I think that some of you have forgotten that the Church built by Peter were the FIRST Christians. I can't understand why you are bashing Christians? Christians are anyone who believes in God and try to do their best to live as Christ taught us. The only thing different is that we could eat meat on Friday, we could worship in the open fields eons ago (with no "specific" authorization as "approved by the Pope); we would not go to hell if we ate something after midnight the day we went to receive communion; etc.
Stop believing in hocus-pocus! The bishops today have not changed since the 12th century when they we aligned with the local monarchs who stole land to give to the Church for "political favors". Only the cast has changed, but all in all, they are still playing the same intimidation game.
Passengers have no control over anything when dealing with the airlines. When you see a decent advertised flight price and decide to grab it, you are then soooooooooooo disappointed when it actually turns out to be about $125.00 more when all the taxes and fees are figured in. Then, if you are on vacation for a week or 2, there are certain things you need to bring, like extra shoes, medications, something warm if it gets cold, tropical clothing, etc. Before you could probably cram it into one 70 lb. bag. But that went away, so now you have to use 2 bags and pay for them. So what else do you do? In order to avoid paying for the second bag, you try to cram the rest in your carry-on to save the money.
Then what happens? Your carry-on is too heavy to lift, so you need help. The plane stewards aren't supposed to help (they did not sign on to be our personal slaves) and maybe you might be lucky enough to find a nice young passenger to help you. But why should that happen? What if that person got hurt lifting your bag? Why take the chance? And pity the person who is stuck in the skinny middle seat for a 3 hour flight with the other 2 passengers vying for arm rest space.
The airlines need to be accountable in their advertising. Full prices need to be mentioned so that people do not waste time looking for a better deal. When people advertise other things, like a quart of ice cream, for instance, the fine print does not say "This ice cream is subject to other fees" in fine print. The airlines need to be accountable in arriving and departing on time so that connections are not missed. Airports need to be accountable in pricing. Just because you are an airport hostage does not mean that you should have to pay $3.00 for a tiny bottle of water. Eating places should be kept clean, as well as restrooms. Millions of dollars are spent on the TSA, but I can't find a clean table to eat my overpriced, dried out sandwich? Why should we have to carry zillions of bacteria on a plane because we were forced to take our shoes off? The list goes on! I feel sorry for bad treatment of airline personnel, but by the time the traveler has over-paid on a ticket, over-paid on luggage fees, has driven 3 or 4 hours to the airport, spent weeks on making travel arrangements maybe traveling to see a dying parent, maybe straddled with a small child, it is no wonder the passenger is wishing that everything would go away and they had taken the bus.
I agree with "oldmomma". Having taught for 31 years, it is a simple fact that if the child does not regularly attend school, learning will be very difficult. How can a child catch up if he/she is only in school 2 days a week? It is the parents job to enforce education - don't they see the value in education? Adults can't go to their jobs 2 or 3 days a week and still stay employed! The other factor is children changing schools frequently due to parents being unable to pay rent every month at one place and having to move elsewhere. Then the child has to make new friends, adjust to a new environment and deal with the stress of knowing this situation will probably repeat and he will have to leave the new friends he made. It is time for mandatory parenting classes - just as it is time for the colleges to reassess their methods of preparing teachers.
If the bishops weren't employees of the Vatican, but they passed on "the rules" to the laity and we obeyed them anyway, does that mean I could have eaten meat of Fridays all those years?
And why does one man have to get the team moving? Remember, LeBron saying this is a "team" sport? And why isn't "Z" in there? Shaq can't even keep up running the whole court and is not offensive rebounding!!!~! Get real - Cav's are a great team but sure need to find their groove!
They have to close the Churches that don't pull in a lot of money so that the Catholics in the remaining churches can scramble to pay off the lawsuits of those damaged by predator priests, who the bishops managed to pretend that the grave injustices were not happening. So now the Bishop thinks the priests are going to have their parishioners raise ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS? Sure, right!
You rock, Run2! Now we just need a little more offensive rebounding and the coast looks clear!
I used to like Continental and tried to be loyal, basically so I could collect flyer miles and get a free flight once in a while. Their "on time" record is much better than the other airlines, and staff has always been very helpful. But I agree, I am now agressively looking for the best price, and if I do a good job of it, it makes up enough savings for that extra flight I was always looking for. Charges for cheap earphones for stupid old videos I don't want to see? I take a book. Pay for first class? Hey, the back of the plane is only about one second later landing at the destination. I can sit in a skinny seat for a few hours - there are worse things in life. I think the art of flight transportation is slowly changing and the major airlines better wake up!
When has he ever been focused? Ever see him look around as the defenders run past him after he missed a rebound? Duh! We have our focused guy, now we need someone who can run and shoot, not lumber around the court!
If another Church does not have a "welcoming atmosphere", how can they call themselves Catholic? They would not even be called Christian in my book.
lotsaice - what are we going to do - rope off the whole world? What about having people use some common sense? People need to learn to protect themselves - duh!
Michael Vick is only sorry because he
mismanaged his huge salary and now he can't live high on the hog. What about those of us who try to do the right thing and now have no jobs while investment people get bonuses for not doing their job? The world is getting crazy - you get an education so you can get a decent job; you try to uphold the values taught by your parents; you do an equal days work for an equal days pay. You love your kids and animals. You try to be a good example to others. You value what you have. We don't have to put people who have no values on a pedestal. Celebrity's put their pants on the same way everyone else does. Live and learn!
Hey Snowfall - why would the Cavs want a slow, old man? I'm sure Carolyn Brown would have figured that one out!
Glad to meet you Carolyn - we're glad you and your family are here!
Toph - do you have a toothache today or are you always like this? Glad you don't live in my neighborhood!
Somehow in my 16 full years of Catholic schooling, I never learned much about the history of the Catholic Church. Was I asleep in class? Or was it omitted? I often wondered why the Church always said to listen to the priests on Sunday, and no, you don't have to bring your bible. Frequenting other Christian Churches has shown me why the Catholic Church discourages bible reading. Reading Ken Follett's "Pillars of the Earth" and "World Without End" has shown me the true history of the Catholic Church - one of land and gold obsession, one of "I am the leader and you will not cross me" mentality. So now it is coming full circle - the peasants are unhappy and will leave the village to find room to breathe and ways in which to honor God, serve others, follow the Ten Commandments, without out "Church exceptions for those who have their wrongs covered up by Church hierarcy". It is a shame that the original purpose has been lost.
Agree, Shaq is past his prime!
You rock! Thanks for being a good role model!
There is so much the general public doesn't know. I was told by an administrator that she thought I was too strict in the classroom (yes, I acturally expected all of my 140 a day 8th graders to write their name on their papers and to write in complete sentences in an English class). The problem was some kids complained to the parents because they did the work but didn't put a name on the paper, so they got no credit, the parents complained to the principal, who had orders to "keep things smoothe" so the parents would vote for the next school levy. So I was supposed to lighten up. Well, I always thought a name was a good thing to have on a paper, just like when you go to the bank but can't get the money if there is no name on the check. This is just a small example of how teachers who want to teach, can't teach because there is no support from the administration. And those of you who think it is a 6 hour day when you have 140 papers to correct at night, make calls to parents, tutor kids who need help after school or before school, prepare lessons for the next day must be smoking something really powerful!

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, March 25, 2010 Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates urged senators today to quickly approve a $37.5 billion supplemental budget request to fund ongoing operations.
The two Cabinet members testified before the Senate Appropriations Committee's defense subcommittee.
Clinton and Gates appearing together on Capitol Hill mirrored actions on the ground in the combat theater, where State Department and Defense Department personnel work side by side.
"Our joint testimony today reflects the close cooperation of our two departments and the importance of a properly funded and integrated civil-military approach to the challenges we face in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the world," Gates said. "I would like to offer my strong support for the programs funded in the State portion of the supplemental request, without which our military efforts will not be successful."
The Defense Department needs an additional $33 billion this year and State is asking for another $4.5 billion in 2010. "Our request addresses urgent demands that will advance our efforts to bring stability in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and ensure a smooth transition to a civilian-led effort in Iraq," Clinton told the senators.
Gates noted he recently returned from Afghanistan, and he gave the panel a read-out of his visit. "Overall, I think there are grounds for guarded optimism as our campaign to roll back the Taliban gains momentum and the Afghan government shows an increasing willingness to take on responsibilities," the defense secretary said.
But the process will take time, and there will be many painful and tough days ahead, he added. "It may take several months to produce visible results, as most of the additional forces ordered by the president have not yet arrived in theater and begun operations," Gates said. U.S. force levels in Afghanistan are on track to hit 98,000 by the end of fiscal 2010.
Gates also tried to manage expectations about what security and stability will look like in Afghanistan – a country that has known nothing but war for more than 30 years. "For most Afghans, a roof over their heads, the opportunity for their children – both boys and girls – to attend school and the ability to provide for the basic needs of their families free from violence would be considered a pretty good life," he said. "The scale of the coalition's efforts and ambitions should reflect that reality."
The supplemental request includes $1 billion for conventional and all-terrain versions of mine-resistant, ambush-protected armored vehicles. The request also budgets $2.6 billion to strengthen the Afghan national security forces. Gates said that Afghans taking responsibility for their country's security is the exit strategy for the coalition, and that Afghan security forces are taking on greater roles.
The request asks for $1 billion to strengthen Iraqi security forces. Funds will be used this year to ensure the Iraqis are fully prepared to assume full responsibilities, Gates said.
In Haiti, the Defense Department continues to provide support in wake of a devastating Jan. 12 earthquake. The urgency of the situation required the department to take funds from existing accounts with the understanding that the accounts would be replenished via supplemental funding. This totals $650 million.
Gates and Clinton asked the senators to approve the request quickly so no disruptions in funding will happen later in the fiscal year.

Business Plan
Business Plan
The most important reason to do a Business Plan is for you to become convinced that you can turn your idea or dream into a real functioning business. Until you have satisfied yourself that your plan "makes sense", you shouldn't even think of trying to sell anyone else. Once you're convinced you can make your idea work then you can show it to lenders and prospective investors. A Business Plan is not a "one-time" document just for obtaining investors or financing. You should consider it to be a "living document" which you will update and upgrade from time to time as information and circumstances change and as appropriate as you thus make changes in your business.
A Business Plan/Financial Plan is an absolute necessity in applying for a loan for a start-up business and is highly recommended in applying for a loan for an existing business.
How do you do it? It's not easy. And it's unlikely you can just sit down and produce a good plan in one sitting because a lot of trial and error and testing of ideas is involved. It will most likely evolve over a period of time.
How? Think about your business idea often and ask yourself these questions about every aspect of it. Who?, what?, where?, when?, why?, how?, how much?, how many?, how often? Write down the answers. Look for "holes". It's easy to list all kinds of ideas. Do you have the knowledge and resources to carry them out cost effectively? Are you "double counting" your resources, counting on them to do two different things at the same time?
Why do you want to pursue a particular part of your plan? Who will carry it out? When? Where? How much will it cost? How many sales will each marketing campaign generate? How does the cost to acquire a prospect, make a sale, or provide the product or service compare to your product or service pricing parameters?
Visualize some "typical days". What is being done? Why ? Who is doing it? Ask and answer these questions over and over until you are convinced you know how your business will function day-to-day. Now capture this knowledge in your plan and show how it will work financially. Make changes in your plan until you have a plan where all the elements fit together and work from a marketing, operational, and financial perspective.
There is no single prescribed format for a Business Plan. However, we believe many of you will find the format shown below to be helpful. You should feel free to adjust it to your unique circumstances.
A SCORE Counselor will be glad to assist you by reviewing your business plan draft(s) and giving you constructive comments. This can be accomplished in face to face meetings or by exchanging emails of sections of the plan as you write them. Use of a word processor such as Microsoft Word or Works is recommended.

Clinton is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 64 years, Grace (Dalessandro) Pursell; three sons, Clinton Pursell Jr. (Linda), Raymond Pursell and Richard Pursell (Holly); and one daughter, Mary Pursell-Bracken (Scott). He was preceded in death by one son, Robert 'Bobby' Pursell. He was the brother of the late Leonard Pursell (Hazel), Frank Pursell (Lois), Tommy Pursell (Margaret) and sister-in-law, Eleanor Pursell. He is also survived by his sisters, Elizabeth Appenzeller (Donald) and Gloria Hunter (Frank), and one brother, Jack Pursell (Pat). Clinton was the beloved grandfather to eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren who will miss him dearly, as will, his many nieces and nephews.
The family will receive relatives and friends on Saturday, March 22, from noon until 2 p.m. at the Wade Funeral Home, 1002 Radcliffe Street, Bristol Borough. Interment in Washington Crossing National Cemetery will be held privately at the convenience of the family.

the prefrontal cortex are the ones associated with aggression and violence and especially with verbal confrontations. That demonstration of an association between a localized frontal lobe injury and TBI is especially important in light of the considerable literature documenting loss of inhibition and greater aggressive behavior after frontal lobe injury. They hypothesized that lesions to the prefrontal cortex impair the ability to sustain "managerial knowledge" and bias behavior away from plans and social rules toward aggressive and violent behavior.
Many studies have shown a relationship between drug and alcohol use and TBI, and it is generally accepted that drug and alcohol use precedes the TBI and increases the risk of head injury. Therefore, studies have examined post-TBI alcohol use only in the context of previous drug and alcohol use estimated as closely as possible. Horner et al. (2005) focused on the assessment of alcohol abuse and dependence (AA/D) in a 1-year period in a sample of 1,606 TBI patients, randomly sampled from a large state-wide sample of all TBI patients discharged from South Carolina hospitals in 1999–2002 and fully assessed at the time of the incident. A telephone interview a year after TBI was used to obtain information on alcohol use for the month preceding assessment. Overall, 15.4% were heavy drinkers, 14.3% moderate drinkers, and 70.3% infrequent drinkers or abstainers. Almost all interviewed (99.8%) reported drinking the same or less than a year before; half the current heavy and moderate drinkers were consuming less than they were a year before. Risk factors for heavy drinking were male sex, lower age, substance abuse before TBI, and a diagnosis of depression since TBI.
Jorge et al. (2005) studied 158 Level I TBI patients of whom 24.1% were alcohol-dependent and 10.8% were alcohol abusers; alcohol use during the year before TBI was 34.8%. Of the 55 TBI patients with premorbid AA/D, 30 completed 1 year of followup and 60% of the group followed up resumed their alcohol use; of those 55, 60% developed a mood disorder during the post-TBI year compared with 36.9% of the non-AA/D group. Patients with pre-existing AA/D had reduced cerebral grey matter (GM) volumes compared with patients without AA/D, and post-TBI relapsers had even greater reductions in GM volumes. Moreover, vocational outcome was lower in those with AA/D, especially if it coexisted with mood disorders.
Bombardier et al. (2003) followed a group of consecutively admitted TBI patients over the course of a year. They showed that drinking decreased considerably from before injury to 1 year after TBI: abstinence rates increased from 14% to 36%; people without substantial alcohol-related problems increased from 64% to 84%; and remission of substantial alcohol problems ranged from 30.8% to 56%. However, there was a subset of survivors (about 25%) who drank heavily at 1 year after TBI, and the level of pre-TBI alcohol use predicted who would be in the post-TBI heavy-drinking group. That suggests that drug and alcohol use should still be monitored after TBI.

He's not one of the elite drummers out right now, there are so many better then him. If this was said on his little "forum" he would edit your post and ban you because that's the way that he is. He's over rated and could never compete with real drummers such as Gavin Harrison, Morgan Ågren, Thomas Haake and many many more. Sorry.
I understand your opinion. Maybe I should retract that statement earlier. I don't necessarily believe that he is a power house. But to me many talented drummers out there are very good at a very limited aspect of drumming (Just to give one quick example, Joey Jordison and no I'm not a fan of slipknot, is a power house when it comes to double bass drumming, but that's about all he has going for himself). What I find very impressive about Mike Portnoy is the fact that he seems to have a strong foundation in many various aspects of drumming. He's not the fastest double bass drummer, but he has a good foundation in double bass drumming. He's pretty good at mastering odd time sig songs and transitioning into the various time signatures. He has a pretty descent knowledge of music theory which in my opinion allows him to be a team player with the rest of the band. Yah, there's a lot of drumming in DT music, but everyone else such as Petrucci and Ruddess (sp?) all have ample opportunities to express their instruments as well.

As avid fans of Suzanne Collins' work, we've been holding our breath about whatever changes have inevitably made to adapt The Hunger Games for the big screen. Of course, the changes are necessary, but will they be the right changes? The new clip out on Yahoo!, featuring Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Cinna's (Lenny Kravitz) first meeting, is a promising indication of how the adaptation works.
In the book, Katniss gradually explains to readers the history of the games, how the opening ceremonies work, with the tributes representing the "flavor" of their district, and how humiliating District 12's coal miner costumes normally are. We're inside her head as she braces herself for more of the same, "It's always dreadful and does nothing to win favor with the crowd. I prepare myself for the worst."
Thankfully, screenwriter Simon Beaufoy and director Gary Ross chose not to use a whole bunch of Katniss voiceover in this movie. Instead, a lot of exposition will have to be in the form of dialogue — and sometimes that sort of thing is awkward, since we can pretty much assume that both people talking already know what they're telling each other. But we think Lawrence and Kravitz manage to make this scene more like the naturally uncomfortable encounter it should be. Though it's a little less uncomfortable than in the book, since Katniss is in a paper hospital gown instead of stark naked. Here's the dialogue, which is all entirely new:
"I'm sorry this happened to you," Cinna says after they introduce themselves. "I'm here to help you in any way that I can."
"Most people just congratulate me," Katniss responds.
"I don't see the point in that," Cinna says. (In the book, this sentiment is expressed later, when he tells her, "How despicable we must seem to you.")
"So, tonight, they have the tribute parade," he continues in the movie. "They have to take you out and show you off to the world."
"So, you're here to make me look pretty?" she asks, a line we've heard in the trailer already.
"I'm here to help you make an impression. Usually they dress people in clothes from their district —"
"Yeah, we're always coal-miners," she interrupts, letting a little of her defiance come through.
"Yeah, but I don't want to do that. I want to do something that they're going to remember. Did they explain about trying to get sponsors?" he asks, again, revealing something we assume Katniss already knows, but it doesn't really bother us, somehow.
"Yeah, but I'm not very good at making friends," she admits.
"We'll see."
Yes, we will, Cinna.

Sept. 20, 1966 R. -r. WALTER METHOD OF FORMING SHRINK FILM PACKAGE Filed Dec. 16. 1963 fnz/enjbrr l1 ickardf z /ali'er 1 WW United States Patent 3,273,302 METHOD OF FORMING SHRINK FILM PACKAGE Richard T. Walter, Norristown, Pa, assignor to Container Corporation of America, Chicago, 11]., a corporation of Delaware Filed Dec. 16, 1963, Ser. No. 330,680 3 Claims. (CI. 53-39) The present invention relates to a method of forming packages which include an outer wrapping of shrinkable film and more particularly to the production of packages of this type formed with an easy opening feature.
Among the important objects of the invention are to provide a package of relatively simple construction, which is easy to produce, and which includes a thin, snugly engaging, enclosing film or wrapper having provision by which such film may be readily torn away along well defined lines to afford ready access to the contents.
Additional and more specific objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent as the description proceeds.
In the drawings:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a carton which is to be wrapped;
FIGURE 2 is a perspective view of the carton after being wrapped with a sheet of shrinkable film the edges of which have been brought together and sealed;
FIGURE 3 is a perspective view of the carton after the film wrapping has been subjected to conditions, such as heat, causing the film to shrink and enclose the carton closely on all sides;
FIGURE 4 is a view similar to FIGURE 3 showing the end portion of the wrapper treated by creating a cut or severance in the form of a pull tab which may be grasped by the fingers;
FIGURE 5 is a view similar to FIGURE 6 showing the tab after it has been lifted and pulled to disrupt the film at the top of the carton preparatory to obtaining access to the contents of the carton;
FIGURE 6 is a perspective view of a modified form of film wrapper showing the provision of weakened or partially severed lines in the film covering the top of the carton to give more exact control of the tear produced when the pull tab is lifted; and
FIGURE 7 is a fragmentary perspective view showing the use of a heated tool to be employed in cutting the film at the end of the carton.
The present invention is exemplified by the application of a film of thermoplastic material to an open top egg carton which is designed to alford adequate protection to the eggs packed therein and at the same time permit the eggs to be easily viewed by the purchaser. It is to be understood, however, that the invention may be applied to any form of filled carton or similar article.
As shown in FIGURE 1, the carton 5 is made ready for its wrapping by setting it up and filling it with desired contents. The carton may then be enclosed in a wrapper comprising a shrinkable film of thermoplastic material, indicated at 6, which may be in the form of a sheet, the edge portions of which are brought together at the ends and along one side of the filled carton and are heat sealed in a well known manner by applying heated elements to form seams indicated at 6a and 6b.
The loosely wrapped package may then be placed in or passed through a suitable heated area for a short period which will cause the film to shrink and form a tight or snug fitting wrapper around the entire carton, as illustrated in FIGURE 3. Any material having heat shrinking characteristics may be utilized for this purpose, such as heat-shrinkable polypropylene or poly- ICC vinylidene chloride film, the latter being commercially distributed under the trade name Saran.
In order to provide easy opening means, one of the panels of the wrapper, held tensioned around the carton, is formed with a suitable cut by means of which tearing of the wrapper may readily be started. As shown in FIGURES 4 and 7 the portion of the Wrapper at one end of the carton may be cut in the form of a pull-tab 7 by means of a U-shaped tool 8 which has been heated to a temperature which will cause the material of the film to fuse. Thus, there is produced a cut line 9 along which the film is separated and the fused material has gathered along the opposite edges of the cut. By forming a tab in this manner after a transparent thermoplastic wrapper has been applied to the carton and brought under tension by shrinking it, the tab thus can be formed in exact registration with suitable printing on the carton which shows through the transparent film.
When it is desired to remove the contents from the wrapped carton as shown in FIGURE 7, this may be done after first lifting the tab 7 and pulling it in a direction lengthwise of the package as shown in FIGURE 5 which will cause a strip 10 to be torn from the tensioned top panel of the wrapper.
In order to provide for a reasonably accurate tearing operation it is desirable to wrap the carton with the sheet of thermoplastic material so that the grain of the material will extend lengthwise of the top panel of the carton.
As shown in the modified form of wrapper, illustrated in FIGURE 6, a pair of weakened lines 11, 11 may be formed by passing a heated tool of proper configuration lengthwise of the top panel to produce a plurality of closely spaced small openings or slots. These weakened lines will be formed so as to terminate adjacent the ends of the U-shaped cut forming the pull talb indicated at 7a in FIGURE 6. By this construction a more accurate tear strip may be formed in the top panel of the wrapper and it is not important to arrange the wrapping sheet so that the grain of the sheet extends lengthwise of the top panel.
When a strip of material has been removed from the top of the wrapper, as illustrated, it is a simple matter to remove or tear the wrapper further to give ready access to the contents of the package.
While the present description sets forth preferred forms of the invention, various changes may be made in the constructions disclosed without departing from the spirit of the invention, and it is there-fore desired that the present disclosure be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, reference being had to the appended claims rather than to the foregoing description to indicate the scope of the invention.
I claim:
1. A method for forming a package comprising a filled carton encased in a thermoplastic film element, which comprises:
(a) enclosing the filled carton relatively loosely within a thermoplastic film element;
(b) shrinking such film element to tighten it around the filled carton; and
(c) perforating the film element to provide tear strip openings.
2. A method for forming a package comprising a filled carton encased in a thermoplastic film element, which comprises:
(a) enclosing the filled carton relatively loosely within an element of heat-shrinkable thermoplastic film; (b) shrinking such film element by means of heat to tighten it around the filled carton to produce tension in at least one area of the film; and (c) applying a disrupting amount of heat to a re- D stricted pattern in the tensioned area to produce a cut in the form of a pull tab by which a portion of the Wrapper may readily be torn.
3. A method for forming a package comprising a filled, rectangular shaped carton encased in a thermoplastic film element, which comprises:
(a) enclosing the filled carton relatively loosely within an element of shrinkable film;
(b) shrinking such film element to tighten it about the filled carton to produce tension in at least two adjoining panels of the enclosing film;
(c) applying with a heated tool a disrupting amount of heat to form a cut in the shape of a pull tab in one tensioned panel near its line of connection with the second tensioned panel; and
(d) applying with a heated tool a disrupting degree of heat to form in the second tensioned panel two approximately parallel lines of spaced cuts extending from points near the extremities of the pull tab 4 a substantial distance across said second tensioned panel.

How to Make Miniature Toothpick Weapons
Seven Methods:The Sword MethodThe Axe MethodThe Halberd MethodThe Arrow MethodThe Bow MethodThe Javelin MethodThe Dagger/Dirk Method
Have you ever made a school project about a war but can't find good materials to make weapons out of? Well, here is how to make them-from toothpicks!
Method 1 of 7: The Sword Method
1Find a good sturdy toothpick.Ad
2Get a piece of paper and poke a hole through it with the toothpick.
3Cut a small rectangle shape that fits the toothpick well (this is the cross hilt).
4Take a nail clipper and clip off one side of the toothpick so that there is only one sharp side.
5Insert the toothpick into the cross hilt and enjoy (the flat side end is the handle).
6You may also want to color the handle for more realistic action.Ad
- Note: Some may call this a rapier since of its blade.
Method 2 of 7: The Axe Method
1Find a sturdy toothpick.
2Put the toothpick on the paper and draw an axe blade that looks decent on it (do not make this too big, it'll look hideous and quite oversized.).
3Get the double sided tape and tape the blade near the top.
4You may color the the blade a gray or silver color (you may want to do this before taping).Ad
Method 3 of 7: The Halberd Method
Method 4 of 7: The Arrow Method
Method 5 of 7: The Bow Method
1Find a sturdy toothpick.
2Wet it with hot water.
3Try to bend it. It is easier to do this, while it is in the hot water. If you succeed, keep it bent until it dries (sometimes when you do this, the toothpick splinters).
4If you accomplish, take the scissors and make a groove on each side of the toothpick (be sure to do this at the base of the sharp side).
5Tie one string to both sides.
6Match with arrows.Ad
Method 6 of 7: The Javelin Method
Method 7 of 7: The Dagger/Dirk Method
1Find a sturdy toothpick.
2Do steps 2&3 of the Sword Method.
3Clip off one end of the toothpick until it gets small enough to be called a dagger.
4For a dirk, look at the blade of a toothpick sword and clip another toothpick until it is half the length of the sword blade.
- Daggers should be half the length of a dirk.
We could really use your help!
Things You'll Need
- Steady supply of toothpicks
- Paper
- Scissors
- Double sided tape (for axe)
- Stretchy string (for bow)
- Nail clippers (optional, you can also use scissors, but this is easier)
- Color markers
- A compass (used to make hole with blade if toothpicks are not sharp enough)

"Walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God."
Colossians 1:10
What is 212?
212 is for students (6th-12th grade). 212 is the temperature that water needs to be in order to reach the boiling point. We realized that there really isn't much significance to water at 211 degrees, so we made it our mission to see students become sold out followers of Jesus. In others words, students being 212 for Jesus!
What's 212 Like?
On a typical Wednesday you will have time before the service to hang with friends and meet new ones. Then you'll worship together and hear a biblical message created with you in mind. We finish everything up in small groups so you can join the conversation and ask questions. We want you to leave 212 able to apply what you learned. So bottom line, we love to have fun, but we are all there for one thing, and that is to learn about JESUS!
Are You New?
If this coming Wednesday is your first time at 212, we want 2 things to happen. The first is that you have a great time. So much fun that you want to come back and bring your friends. The second is that we want to get to know you. Our leaders love meeting students and hearing about what's going on in their lives. Every student has a story, and we want to hear it! So come check it out; we can't wait to hear your story!
Every Wednesday from 7-8:30 pm at our Statesboro campus (1342 Cawana Rd.)

Higgins: Cognitive dissonanceWritten by Tim Higgins | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Most of the political pundits have put their two cents in on the November 2012 election and telling us the same things they have for some months, and mostly the same as in previous elections. Depending on whom you listen to, the election will be about the economy, gas prices, unemployment or Obamacare. I have a slightly different take however, believing it will be about all of these things and none of them. The majority of the electorate is easily diverted where the issues are concerned, having been so often led astray by the mainstream media and the spin masters of political campaigns. Instead, I believe that 2012 will be about cognitive dissonance.
Now for those of you unfamiliar with this term, it's one from psychology used to describe the ability to hold incompatible and even contradictory beliefs simultaneously, a condition that's sweeping the nation. One has only to look around to see that apart from hard-core loyalists, the majority of the electorate seems unconcerned with the apparent disparity between what they know to be true and what they believe is true because they were told so.
People having less want to be taxed less (excepting, of course, for the evil rich, who, though paying the lion's share of the taxes, have yet to apparently pay their "fair share"). They recognize however that Congress is largely incapable of asking more from the 1 percent who are their biggest donors without simultaneously providing them with loopholes to escape payment. They also understand that almost half the people in this country are getting more back from the government at tax time than they put in, but dare not admit it, since many of this 50 percent believe they're getting free money and won't vote for someone taking it away.
Having cut local funding, many also want more in federal funding for programs for schools, parks and infrastructure, even while vaguely recognizing that these federal dollars also come from the taxes that they pay. They'll unite behind local officials seeking state and federal grants and loans to do work that they would reject doing with local capital and agree to kick in matching funds that they don't have to get them.
Voters want "too big to fail" companies to be done away with to end the corporate bailouts. If one of those companies offers to build or expand operations within their locality however, they'll stand in line to offer tax incentives that are little more than corporate bailouts in order to lure them into providing jobs to the area that will likely disappear when the incentives do.
People understand that there are problems with existing health care insurance in this country, from the inconsistency of how Viagra is provided to men and birth control to women, to the help that should be provided for those with pre-existing conditions who struggle to get it. They even admit that doing so in large government program is going to cost a lot. They seem willing to acknowledge that previous programs have tended to increase costs and stifle competition, while promoting waste, fraud and bureaucratic nightmares, yet call for it anyway.
They are beginning to understand that the pyramid scheme of Social Security has become upside-down and broke as the baby boomers begin to retire in significant numbers and know that the program is probably unsustainable. Most of them have been pouring money into the gaping maw of this government leviathan for 40 years or more however, and still expect to get their money back (and more), whether it's there or not.
Voters will tell you that they want more freedom and less restriction on their activities, then ask their representatives to pass legislation to do just the opposite in the name of a safety that doesn't exist. They'll look at the price tag for these unwarranted (pun intended) programs, and understand that this violates their rights and exacerbates government spending that's already greater than the money it takes in. They know that such practices make no sense and are unsustainable, but hold to them without concern.
Perhaps most telling in this is that independent voters (the true majority), are able to hold the idea that there are fundamental differences between Democrats and Republicans in balance with the reality that the very same policies seem to grow and gain acceptance regardless of the party in power.
There is little doubt therefore, that the man who manages to get this electorate to reconcile these disparate positions in his favor or who makes them believe that his opponent will further aggravate these concurrent but seemingly irreconcilable ideas will have a distinct emotional advantage with the voters. I therefore believe that the candidate who is best able to use this cognitive dissonance to his advantage will probably win the election.

McGinnis: Did 'Glee' steal from a cult-favorite musician?Written by Jeff McGinnis | | email@example.com
It's a wonderful comedic premise. Take Sir Mix-a-Lot's kitschy rap classic "Baby Got Back" and turn it into a soft rock ballad. It was wonderful when comic musician Jonathan Coulton first recorded his version of "Baby Got Back" in 2005. It helped establish his cult following, which exploded after he contributed the song "Still Alive" to the classic video game "Portal."
And it was still a wonderful comic premise when word hit the internet that FOX's "Glee" would feature a cover of "Baby Got Back" in the episode "Sadie Hawkins." A soft rock cover. Wait a minute …
Now, if it were simply a matter of two individual entities having the same great idea, that would be one thing. It's plausible that no one associated with "Glee" has ever heard of Coulton or his version. So if they independently wrote a comically "soft" version of Mix-a-Lot's song, that wouldn't automatically scream "rip-off."
Then an apparently official cut of the "Glee" version of "Baby" popped up on the Internet. And it became clear that the two versions share much more than a common inspiration. The two cuts are virtually identical.
From the opening chorus to the backing tracks to the beat to the … everything, this supposedly official "Glee" cut is essentially the exact same song as Coulton's version. Canny Internet users showed via mashup websites that when played simultaneously, the two versions are pretty much indistinguishable. There's even some debate over whether "Glee" sampled Coulton's music track directly for its version.
Then there's the matter of "Johnny C." While the lion's share of Mix-a-Lot's lyrics were left intact in Coulton's original cover, he did change one moment where the rapper referred to himself by name. Coulton altered the phrase to "Johnny C," a reference to himself, of course. In the unearthed "Glee" version, the singer gets to that same lyric and refers to himself as … "Johnny C." A remarkable coincidence, no?
Of course, if "Glee" was using Coulton's work with his permission, that'd be one thing. But we have word from the man himself that this is not the case. Coulton has made plain in numerous postings on Twitter and his own blog that no one from the show had ever contacted him to request permission before the episode's production — he found out when the track hit the net, just like everyone else.
Still, Coulton asked his fans to exercise caution in their outrage. "This is the Internet after all — it's a complicated place and it gets a lot of things wrong," he wrote on his blog. Maybe the leaked track wasn't official. Maybe there was just a miscommunication. Maybe …
Then, on Jan. 24, two things happened. One, the "Sadie Hawkins" episode of "Glee" aired, featuring the exact same version of "Baby Got Back" as was leaked. No credit to Coulton was given. The track is on sale on iTunes.
Then, on his blog, Coulton noted that "They also got in touch with my peeps to basically say that they're within their legal rights to do this, and that I should be happy for the exposure (even though they do not credit me, and have not even publicly acknowledged that it's my version — so you know, it's kind of SECRET
Apparently, the legalities surrounding re-recording a cover are murky enough that, even if a new version is demonstrably different from the original, FOX believes it's on strong legal ground to simply copy the work outright without credit. And previous situations where cover artists claimed to have been "given greater exposure" by having work copied without credit on "Glee" have borne this out.
But let's leave legalities aside, here. As someone who appreciates art, this is simply wrong. It is disgusting for employees of a major company to borrow another's work, not give said artist credit and then tell him he should be grateful for the attention. FOX may be legally in the right. But morally, it's utterly bankrupt.
Coulton, however, has responded with class and brilliance. He has posted a new track himself on iTunes, GooglePlay and Amazon — "Baby Got Back (in the style of 'Glee')". Yes, that's right, he's released a cover of the "Glee" cover of his cover — which, illustrating his point, sounds exactly like the original. Oh, and all proceeds will go to the VH1 Save the Music Foundation and the It Gets Better Project.
And as far as FOX's arrogant assertion about "exposure" — well, let's prove it right. Look up Coulton on iTunes and through his official website at JonathanCoulton.com. Listen to his amazing work and support him. And let's give "Glee" the opposite of exposure — if the show and its network feel so cavalier about borrowing from others to prop up their enterprise, "Glee" clearly does not deserve any more attention than necessary.

Answer to the question about the Finance Department is yes,
they been out of there. MAISD took over the finance duties.
Everyone need to keep in mind two things, #1. I believe around 600
students have left the district since 2008, that's $7000 or $7500 a
head, #2. The school board refuse to lay-off people when revenue, due
to school of choice dropped. If I added a #3 It would be the retirement
cost for retired teachers and staff, its in the millions per year.
Khufu, I wonder how much positive work you have done in the Heights? You stated the other day you went to Catholic School. Did your kids go to Heights? Probably not and that's the problem, you are a "social media soldier", which is the same as being a "paper soldier", all talk no action. Middle-Class , bourgeois blacks have not invested enough of their time and money into the Heights. They only get upset when whites criticize the HTS, but they do it in private and don't do nothing to help the poor Blacks.
general456: Let's start by getting rid of the Muskegon Irish Music Festival and St. Patrick's day as well.
What do Black History Month go to do with a race problem in America? So, silly a notion its hardly worth a response.
To: Hi, rather or not more women worked during WWII or not does not negate the fact that Blacks fought for this country even when basic human rights were denied. That's not racism, its fact. The German Nazis were treated better than the Black U.S. soldiers and this is documented. The German women were not treated better than white American women during the war.
Also, do you consider b'nai brith a problem or the anti-defamation league(ADL) a problem. What's the problem with the United Negro College Fund? Is there a problem with Muskegon's Irish Music Festival?
How about the Polish Lodge on Henry street or the Lithuanian Club on Hackley Street? Its the intent of the group that makes it good or bad, not rather or not it identifies an ethnic purpose. Stop being so sensitive.
bigredgum, stop being so sensitive. These groups started at a time when white America excluded them,
so they named a lot of their groups Black "this or that", others that started later simply was identifying their target group, not being anti anyone. Right here in Muskegon there is an Lithuanian Club located in Muskegon Heights for years, their is a Polish Lodge I believe on Henry Street and one of the most successful festivals in Muskegon is the Irish Music Festival. All of these identify themselves by ethnicity, but non of them exclude others to my knowledge. The Black Women's Political group is the same. Bigredgum, that was a very stupid post. Get off MLIVE and go read a history book.
KHUFU, one other thing, stop name calling people you don't know
because your infantile comments were obliterated. Your comments
were intellectually void. Like many, you probably a religious hypocrite.
KHUFU, this was a good deed. Leave at that, not a missionary
effort by the church. STOgamer is right. Religion played no role
in this effort, just people doing a good deed.
chris49441; Who are you to determine what's intelligent or not? The point is that churches represent people and the people from that community should take a vested interest in educating their community. It kind of stupid to make a general statement like "reading is fundamental", who argued against that? If its fundamental, then the institutions that serve people should make it a priority. How about that for intelligence!
To KHUFU, this has nothing to do with "religious beliefs" or the Michigan Constitution. Just a good deed. That's it. Stop trying to make it about religion. In addition, its not an "excellent community response" until the people in that community(Muskegon Heights) start solving their own problems. It may be excellent for the givers, but its a sad day for the receivers, who can't buy books for kids, but got Churches all over the Heights.
Great job to The Muskegon Tribune. They laid it on the table and empowered the community by informing them that if they feel ignored make themselves heard at the ballot box. Colin Armstrong said that was strange, I say that is" the democratic way". Great job Muskegon tribune.
I read the Muskegon Tribune editorial, which was excellent. This GPA issued has been dragging along since Sept 2008. The Muskegon Tribune basically informed the parents and community that if they feel ignored, they should make themselves heard at the ballot box. Colin Armstrong called that strange, I call it the "Democratic Way". Great job Muskegon Tribune and thanks for being an uncompromising voice.
bmmm1969, it should be "these article's are" not these article's is. You should feel very stupid right now. Argue the content!
When you stated, "these article's is", thats incorrect English. It should be "are". I guess you need an English refresher as well.
bmmm1969, this is a blog not an English 101 class. You can't handle the substance of the argument, so you focus on the frivolous. Stupid!
bmmm1969, this is a blog, not a term paper. You can't handle the substance of the argument.
bmmm1969, you missed the point. From 1619-1865 a person of Obama color was chattel slaves. From 1865-1965 the laws prevented people of his color from voting. That leaves us with 44 years that a person of his color could even have a chance to win. Black people are amazing and strong and deserve their moment in the sun.
bmmm1969, like scoutmastr you missed the point. From 1619-1865 people who looked like Obama was enslaved. From 1865-1965 people who looked like Obama could not vote. That leaves us with just 44 years that anyone that looked like Obama could be President. Simple enough for you!
scoutmastr16 you need a refresher in american history. A few drops of "black blood" made you black accoreding the law. Obama himself refers to himself as African American. 50 years ago, he would had to sit on the back of the bus white mother and all. In fact, many states interracial relations were illegal.
scoutmastr16, you need to fresh up
on American History. The U.S. law designated
anyone with "black blood" as a Black person. Even if you put that aside, Obama himself refers to himself as "African American", like many others such as actress Halle Berry. The bottom line is that regardless of his white mother, just 50 years ago he would to sit on the back of the bus, be denied rights, etc. Thats really the issue. Jim Crow laws were not better for Blacks with white mothers. In fact, in many US states interrracial relations were illegal.
You need to see the bigger picture scountmastr16
what a stupid comment! What info do you have to conclude hispanics did not participate?Musk. Hts schools is 99.9% African American. What does a program for youth got to do with test scores idiot? Here we are getting ready to bail out the mistakes of "white men" to the tune of $700 billion and you talking about some test score idiot! You still whinning over something from 1977, barely 10 years prior Blacks could not even vote because of the political quota set forth by white people. You need a history lesson. Just 40-50 years ago the white man had every quota you can think of. Are you upset with the bail out or is it "necessary"? Help blacks its quota something bad. Help whites its necessary. You want to whine about something in 1977, then lets look at history and talk about why these "little" things like affirmative action was necessary. Read a history book, clown!

The World Cup 2010: International Soccer Reaches Maturity
The most remarkable thing about this current World Cup is not that it has resurrected this blog (I'm still alive!), nor that America got robbed (as it surely did of the winning goal against Slovenia), nor the omnipresent droning of the vuvuzelas. It is that this is the first World Cup where you can honestly say, as was once said of pro football in the U.S., on any given day, any team good enough to be in the Cup is good enough to beat or draw any other team.
We have seen some remarkable results – the United States tie against England, England's subsequent nil-nil match against Algeria, the utter collapse of France, Germany losing to Serbia after aboslutely dominating Australia, Spain's loss to Switzerland, and perhaps most significantly, the just-concluded 1-1 match that had New Zealand, ranked #78 in the world by FIFA, holding off the defending World Champion and current #5 Italy.
It's a shock to the system for the European old guard of soccer, but after they recover, they'll realize it's good for the sport. This is the first World Cup where the favorites, not just one or two, but as a group, are struggling to even move past the group stage. There are some blaming it on the ball, blamining it on the altitude, blaming it even on the vuvezelas…but what it really means is \that international soccer has finally matured. Talent is no longer concentrated, but is worldwide. Tactics, too, have matured, as coaches have learned how to play a defensive game against the world's best without completely sacrificing offense.
In short, this World Cup is wide open…very few teams are resting easy, and only one has been eliminated (unfortunately, the entertaining African side, Cameroon). My own pick at this point? Argentina…but it will be a very, very intense set of third round matches in group play as almost the entire field has its tournament on the line. Great stuff!…

LEWISTON, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Crews cleaning up the three building apartment fire in Lewiston expect it to take several more days.
Friday they are focused on asbestos removal. Site contractors say the cancer causing material was found in the building at 105 Blake Street, where the fire broke out.
It still unsafe for people to go near the site-- and the road is closed as clean up continues.
Crews expect to be there until Monday- the same day the 12 year old boy arrested for arson makes his first court appearance. Police say the boy caused one million dollars in damage.
One thing workers found in the rubble -- and don't want to throw away -- is a large American flag, still intact.
Contractors think it might be a military flag -- and they're hoping the owner will come back to the site of the fire to retrieve it.

Business Lunch very near S. Wacker Drive???
Hi folks, I sure hope you can help me out, as I'm in kind of a bind. I need to plan a weekday business lunch very shortly for 6 individuals. It needs to be a very short walk from S. Wacker Drive. And I don't know a darn thing about downtown Chicago... sorry to come to this so ignorantly. As such, searching prior threads wasn't too helpful, as I just don't know the place well. I did see one recommendation from a few years ago for a place called Mossant Bistro?
Anyhow, the only real requirements are that it be a good place for a business lunch (no dives) moderately priced (no steakhouses or fancy, schmancy places) and have a noise level that doesn't make audible conversation difficult. Oh, and that they take reservations.
Thoughts? Ideas?
Seriously, I appreciate all the help!
Depending on where you are at on South Wacker - if you on the North end of South Wacker - I would recommend One North Kitchen (1 N wacker) - wide variety of food that is consistent and good.
Do you know where you will be on So. Wacker? What address? What cross street? I think Mossant is long gone.
Mossant closed a while back and was replaced with South Water Kitchen. In any case 225 North Wabash is quite a way from South Wacker.
There are several restaurants along North and South Wacker that are primarily business lunch places although most do a fair after-work and pre-opera business.
One North mentioned above and Rivers (30 S. Wacker) are the highest priced but definitely nether fancy schmancy nor destination restaurants. Townhouse was opened recently at 111 South Wacker by the same firm that owns One North. You can check their menus at restaurants-america.com. Don't be put off by the fact that this company also owns the Red Star Tavern and Bar Louie chains. These restaurants are stand- alone operations. Lloyd's (1 South Wacker; lloydschicago.com) and Emil's (101 North Wacker) hit slightly lower price and quality points. Lloyd's probably has the best price-quality tradeoff.
All pretty much require reservations and have reasonable noise levels at lunch. After work, particularly on Fridays, is another noise story altogether.
re: Eldon Kreider
Thanks so much for the help. These are great suggestions.
Sorry I didn't clarify the location on S. Wacker. I guess that's like saying I need lunch near Park Ave, isn't it? Anyhow, I think the cross street is W. Madison. So, from a map, it looks like near the divide of north and south wacker?
Anyhow, your recs above - particularly One North, Rivers and Lloyds all sound like they are very near and fit the bill. I'll call for reservations today. Thanks again for the help and I'll be sure to let you know where we end up and how it goes.
- Adam
re: adamclyde
Madison is the dividing line for north and south addresses anywhere in Chicago. Wacker only runs south for four blocks from there, so Madison isn't far from anywhere on South Wacker. Except possibly in Sears Tower, I don't believe that there is a decent business lunch spot in the two southernmost blocks. I don't know what the restaurants in Sears Tower are like since the building's new owners kicked Levy Restaurants out, but the security hassles there make those restaurants less than ideal unless you are already in Sears Tower.

Sam Smith's ever-growing fan base now includes Mary J. Blige, who lent her vocals to a new duet with Sam of his UK No.1 debut single, "Stay With Me".

"Stay With Me" is the lead single from Smith's long-awaited debut, In The Lonely Hour which was released in the UK last week & climbed straight to No. 1, as Smith earned the fastest-selling album in 2014, and knocked Coldplay's Ghost Stories from the top of the chart.

As of Friday, February 22, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
Sure it's just a second round game, but it's one worthy of higher billing.
Parkview enters tonight's game against Norcross ranked No. 10 in the nation by USA Today. The Panthers are undefeated and haven't lost since last season ended at the hands of this Norcross team.
Norcross, which came up short in its bid for a third straight Class AAAAAA championship last year, boasts one of the nation's top players in Diamond DeShields and knows how to win games this time of the season.
"We've got to believe we can do it," Parkview head coach Tony Watkins said. "They are, by far, better than anybody we've played all year. They have the championship pedigree.
"It's fun to have this opportunity and we'll see what happens."
What happened last year was a 63-48 Norcross win. And like last year, Norcross is the biggest challenge for Parkview.
"I think Parkview is probably better than they were last year," Norcross head coach Angie Hembree said. "They play a lot of kids."
Unlike the Blue Devils, who rely mostly on the unending talent of DeShields and Shayla Cooper, players Watkins said can, "go out and get you 20 any, every night," Parkview uses its entire bench, rattling teams with aggressive defense and turning it into points.
"They get real physical," Hembree said. "You have to be able to handle the ball."
If a 80-32 win earlier this week is any indication, Norcross recovered from its Region 7-AAAAAA championship loss to North Gwinnett and refocused for the state playoffs.
"The kids played well together, passed the ball well, ran the floor well," Hembree said. "I thought we did a good job of playing our game. Hopefully, we can play with the same intensity and pass the ball as well."
Parkview dispatched Wheeler in its first-round game as well, setting up tonight's premier match-up, a game Watkins expects to draw interest from people beyond the two schools and one his team is excited for.
"I don't think (the excitement) is so much because they knocked us out last year, but because it's Norcross," Watkins said. "They are the kings until somebody knocks them off. The are at the top of the mountain and they are where everybody is trying to get."
And it's not the only girls hoops playoff game of the night.
Archer travels to North Gwinnett in another Gwinnett vs. Gwinnett match up and Central Gwinnett head to Alpharetta for the schools first second round appearance under head coach Jason Adams. In Class AAAthe Buford girls play Elbert County and in Class AA GAC visits Kendrick and Wesleyan host Bremen.
