If history is any guide, the Romney-Ryan ticket should get a bounce out of the convention. Republicans in Congress? Not so much. And they really need some love.
Congress has about a 10 percent approval rating, depending on which poll you peruse, and when you break it down by party it's not much better. Republicans in Congress have garnered public support on some issues—repealing "Obamacare," building the Keystone XL pipeline—but they haven't been able to win over the public just yet on things like revamping Medicare or keeping income-tax rates the same for wealthier earners. (See the United Technologies/National Journal Congressional Connection Poll at nationaljournal.com/congressional-connection.) In other words, this week's sopping-wet shindig in Tampa is great for Mitt and Paul, not so much for Mitch and John.
Life's unfair. These may be presidential nominating conventions, but they are also party conventions. Yet Congress doesn't benefit much from them. Sure, congressional bigwigs will get some prime-time love as opposed to the lonely C-SPAN stints in the afternoon: Senators getting airtime include John McCain, John Thune, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Kelly Ayotte, and even a bit for Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. But they're onstage to make the case for Romney—not to say what an awesome job they're doing and why Harry Reid is Satan's spawn. And they're not getting the biggest speaking roles. Those are going to governors and other folks who don't know the joys of riding the congressional subway.
There's scarcely any House presence during those coveted hours, unless you count Rep. Paul Ryan, who's there as the veep candidate, not as a House member. Rep. Cathy McMorris-Rodgers gets a pre-primetime speech and so does Mia Love, a House candidate from Utah, who is vying to be the first black Republican woman in Congress. John Boehner will speak. But none has a big role, such as delivering the keynote speech (New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie gets the honor).
What about those irascible House freshmen? They're scheduled as daytime acts. That might make sense for Romney, but does it help the frosh who need to make their case if they want to hang on to their hard-fought gains?
At least in the old days, Congress had more to do at the conventions. When these quadrennial confabs changed from real fora to infomercials, Congress's role was minimized. After all, its members made up a large percentage of the delegates who actually came to a convention to produce a nominee. (The last presidential nominee who was chosen after more than one ballot was Adlai Stevenson in 1952—a lifetime ago, when Florida was the 20th-most-populous state instead of the fourth.)
Of course, some individual members of Congress can use conventions to catapult their career. Former Rep. Susan Molinari's address to the 1996 Republican convention in San Diego got a nice pop, especially with funny lines like "Americans know that Bill Clinton's promises have the life span of a Big Mac on Air Force One." Phil Gramm gave a good keynote in 1992 for George H.W. Bush's nomination, and it helped propel his run for president four years later. (He lost to Bob Dole.)
But Gramm had a telling line in his speech: "Did you notice that at their convention in New York, the Democrats hid their congressional leaders? Poor Speaker Tom Foley and Majority Leader George Mitchell were hidden so far back in the crowd that you had to press your nose right up against the TV screen and get out a magnifying glass to see them."
Although it's better this time, it's still a presidential show. No wonder Congress is considering a bill to withdraw federal funding from the conventions. It's a way to trim the deficit a teeny bit. But it also reflects Congress's diminishing role at the event.

Champion Ham Sold For $350,000
A first-time buyer has stepped forward with the winning bid for this year's Kentucky State Fair grand champion country ham. The ham is auctioned at the annual Kentucky Farm Bureau ham breakfast, with the proceeds—and the ham—donated to charity.
This year's top bidder was the Yum Brands Foundation, the charitable arm of the Louisville-based fast food company. Proceeds from the 350-thousand dollar sale will go to the Fund for the Arts.
Fund President Barbara Sexton Smith says the money will be used to boost an existing collaboration with the Yum Brands Foundation.
"The Yum Family Series is something that makes it possible for children to get to go hear the Louisville Orchestra perform, go to Stage One Family Theater performances and experience the arts in the classroom. So we're looking very forward to that." --Barbara Sexton Smith
The 350-thousand dollar top bid is not a record but among the ten highest in the sale's 50 year history. This year's grand champion country ham was produced by Harper's Country Hams of Clinton, Kentucky. It will be donated to the Dare to Care Food Bank.

Allergy to Insect Stings and Bites

Scope of Article
This article is limited to discussion of reactions to insect stings and bites. In most regions, the former dominate and will be the prime topic here. This article does not deal with other allergic reactions to inhaled or ingested insect components or products.
Sensitization to insect venom refers to the presence of specific sensitivity to insect venom, most commonly mediated by IgE and demonstrable by skin testing or in vitro assay.
Allergy to insect venom refers to a clinical reaction to one or more stings that is greater than would be expected in the general population and results from specific sensitization to that venom.
Symptoms and Signs
Most individuals will develop limited local swelling in response to a sting that is of nuisance value. A minority of persons will develop excessive local swelling, which may be either "immediate" (developing and peaking within 1-2 hours) or "delayed". Such events only threaten life if in close proximity to the airway.
A small percentage of the population develops "systemic" or "generalized" reactions that extend beyond areas contiguous with the sting. Most of these are immediate IgE-mediated allergic reactions and show the same range of features as other such reactions. These include cutaneous, mucosal, respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and/or neurological involvement (see table 1). Systemic reactions have commonly been classified with the use of the four stage system of Ulrich Müat;ller, a modification of the system of Harry Müat;ller. More recently, Simon Brown proposed a three tier system (table 1) that is based on evidence as to which features correlate with the development of hypoxia and/or hypotension. Hypotension appears to be more prominent in severe reactions to insect stings than in allergic reactions to foods. This may reflect the tendency of severe sting reactions to involve older subjects. Systemic allergic reactions of rapid onset with lethal potential (e.g. those with respiratory or vascular compromise) constitute "anaphylaxis". Rarely, stings can cause other unusual manifestations that are more likely to be toxic than hypersensitivity reactions.

Epidemiology and Etiology
Estimates of the prevalence of subjects who have experienced immediate systemic reactions to insect stings vary from 1% to 7% of the general population. The insects that account for the problem vary by region. The honey bee is ubiquitous, yellow jackets (Vespula) cause sting allergy problems across diverse temperate climates and paper wasps (Polistes) and in some regions hornets (Vespa) tend to be important at lower latitudes. Stinging ants are more restricted in their distribution, but the imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta) and jack jumper ant (Myrmecia pilosula spp) dominate clinical sting allergy in areas of South Eastern-South Central USA and South Eastern Australia, respectively, whereas species of Pachycondyla are major public health problems in East Asia and the Arabian Peninsula.
Although immediate systemic reactions to insect bites are less common, anaphylaxis to biting insects like kissing bug (Triatoma), horseflies (Tabanus spp), mosquitoes (Aedes, Culex, Anopheles) has rarely been reported.
Estimates of the number of deaths from sting anaphylaxis vary around 1 per 10,000,000 per annum, but this figure is likely to be an underestimate and to vary widely regionally.
Referral and Diagnosis
Accurate diagnosis is essential because it has long-term consequences, including provision of an adrenaline auto-injector, long-term venom immunotherapy and, in some cases, change in occupation or relocation. It requires knowledge of the entomology of the region, of the natural history of the sting allergy (see below) and of the availability and limitations of the skin and in vitro tests for venom allergy. Referral to an experienced allergy specialist is strongly recommended.
Diagnosis must be made at several levels:
- The nature of the subject's worst insect sting reaction. An accurate history of the worst sting reaction is essential because it is important in predicting future risk (see the section "Natural History and Risk Assessment" below). Clinical responses to stings are variable events, and the clinician should be guided by the subject's worst reaction to the insect. If possible, case records should be reviewed for objective manifestations, but it must be borne in mind that some subjects may have been more severely compromised before reaching medical care.
- The probable identity of the responsible insect. Features to consider when identifying the insect include observations made at the time of the sting, the place and circumstances of the sting (e.g. proximity of garbage or food favors the yellow jacket, native bushland in South East Australia favors the jack jumper ant), the presence or absence of a stinger in the skin (the presence favors the honey bee, Apis mellifera or among vespids, Vespula maculifrons), past sting history and any culprit specimen presented. The season of the sting event may be helpful in moderate climates: honey bee stings occur most often in spring and summer, vespid stings mostly during late summer and fall.
- Skin test or in vitro evidence of IgE sensitization of the subject to relevant venoms. Specialist expertise is required because of the limitations in availability and sensitivity of both skin and in vitro tests for venom-specific IgE. Testing should be carried out with venoms of all likely insects. Even where sensitivity of both is high (of the order of 97% with honey bee venom), both skin and in vitro tests and a repeat skin test 3 months later should be negative before it is concluded that the subject lacks demonstrable specific IgE to the venom. This is more strongly the case where sensitivity and specificity of both tests are lower (e.g. 68-86% for yellow jacket venoms). Venom skin testing necessitates satisfactory positive and negative controls and a positive response to intradermal testing at 1 microgram/ml or less (Bilo, Rueff, Mosbech et al, 2005). Such testing can precipitate a systemic allergic reaction, however, and expertise and facilities for resuscitation should be immediately available.
- Other in vitro tests. Mast cell tryptase levels measured within 30 minutes to 8 hours after the onset of the index reaction may if raised support the conclusion that the reaction features resulted from an allergic reaction; however, a negative test result does not exclude that possibility. Comparison of the acute with a convalescent specimen may increase sensitivity. If baseline mast cell tryptase is raised, the subject may have a systemic mast cell disorder (see the section "Management of co-morbidities" below). In vitro tests measuring activation of surface markers of basophils or release of mediators from these cells after addition of the allergen, may be helpful in individual patients with a strong history of sting anaphylaxis but negative skin tests and no detectable serum IgE to venoms.
- Sting challenges. These are the gold standard for clinical sensitivity in research, but have a limited place in clinical practice because of substantial risks of anaphylaxis and of either false-negative responses or sensitization to future stings, especially if performed in untreated patients. They should only be undertaken when there is a strong indication for the procedure, high-level facilities and expertise, informed consent and institutional ethics committee approval. In most European countries sting challenges are only performed for the confirmation of efficacy during venom immunotherapy.

Natural History and Risk Assessment
Humility is appropriate in approaching this topic for two reasons: first, many subjects dying of apparent allergic reactions to stings have no known history of an earlier systemic reaction and second, sensitization to insect venoms is much more common than is clinical allergy to the same insect venoms. Further, any prediction of risk based on published studies cannot be extrapolated with confidence to a specific patient. Nevertheless, from epidemiological and deliberate sting study outcomes, the following strong trends are apparent:
- Subjects who have experienced only enhanced local or even generalized cutaneous reactions run a relatively low risk, of the order of 5-20%, of a systemic reaction, which is usually of limited severity, to a subsequent sting by an insect of the same species.
- A previous severe systemic reaction and, in particular, hypotensive anaphylaxis indicates a high risk (50-70%) of a further severe reaction.
- Risk of a severe or lethal reaction appears to rise with increasing age
- In deliberate sting studies, higher proportions of subjects who have had recent systemic allergic reactions to jack jumper ant or honey bee stings have had a similar reaction to their next sting compared with yellow jacket-allergic subjects (respective figures are approximately 72%, 52-75% and 25-40%). Such outcomes will vary with the age of subject, the severity of the index sting reaction and possibly the time elapsed since the last sting.
- Positive tests for IgE to venom increase the risk of a systemic reaction to a sting, and even asymptomatic, sensitized subjects carry a significant but low risk (circa 17%). However, except for allergy to jack jumper ant venom, the degree of skin test reactivity appears to be a poor predictor of reaction severity.
Factors that appear common in forensic cases are remote rural occupations or recreation, cardiorespiratory co-morbidities or possibly treatments for vascular disease (such as beta blocking drugs and ACE inhibitors)
Acute treatment
The reader is directed to WAO Allergic Disease Resource "Anaphylaxis: Synopsis" for a review of anaphylaxis and its management, the Updated Practice Parameter on management of anaphylaxis (2005) and WAO statement on use of epinephrine (2008). (refer references). Adrenaline is the key medication in managing anaphylaxis. Although there is strong evidence for the efficacy (and in expert hands, safety) of adrenaline infusion from a large prospective study of reactions to deliberate jumper ant stings, the simple procedure of injecting appropriate doses of adrenaline IM into the anterior thigh is recommended for prompt initiation of effective therapy with a high margin of safety. (refer consensus statements as above). Administration of high-flow oxygen and airway support and in hypotensive subjects a horizontal, legs-elevated posture and rapid infusions of IV fluids through a large-bore cannula are recommended. For life-threatening reactions, emergency support should be summoned because further measures might be required that necessitate special expertise (e.g. intubation, tracheostomy or use of selective vasopressor medications). There appears to be no reliable way of predicting biphasic anaphylaxis or its timing. Participants in the second NIAID/FAAN symposium on anaphylaxis recommended that observation times be individualized on the basis of the severity of the initial reaction, reliability of the patient and access to care.
Emergency plans and adrenaline auto-injectors
Subjects with a history of an immediate systemic reaction to a sting need a written plan that includes the following: symptom recognition, guidelines for summoning assistance, indications for and method of use of automated adrenaline syringe and indication that urgent transport to emergency care and at least four hours of observation at the point of care after symptom resolution are required. Such plans must take account of regional factors and past reactions, including speed of evolution and severity. Prospective sting studies suggest that some adults require provision of and guidelines for use of a second automated adrenaline syringe, depending on anticipated reaction severity and distance from care. Published data indicate that compliance with carriage, maintenance and use of automated adrenaline syringes is often disappointing, which underscores the need for careful instruction, periodic retraining and emphasis that other medications do not represent alternatives to the use of adrenaline except for the mildest of systemic reactions (e.g. slowly evolving reactions confined to the skin). However, small doses of adrenaline are not contraindicated in these cases.
Management of co-morbidities
It appears probable that cardiovascular and respiratory co-morbidities contribute to the risks of an adverse outcome. Treatment of such conditions should be optimized in consultation with other health care professionals. A particularly difficult issue arises when a subject has indications for medications such as beta blocking drugs or ACE inhibitors that may potentiate anaphylaxis or complicate its management. Bearing in mind that there is no systematic evidence that these medications increase risk of severe anaphylaxis, a team approach is required that weighs the relative risks of each condition and the risks and benefits of each medication.
Identification of subjects with raised baseline mast cell tryptase is important because such subjects are disproportionately at risk of severe reactions to multiple stimuli, including insect stings. Please refer to following section on venom immunotherapy.
Venom immunotherapy
Insect VIT is a potent tool for preventing sting anaphylaxis. Controlled studies demonstrate that immunotherapy with vespid, honey bee and jack jumper ant venoms are highly effective. Once subjects are receiving maintenance doses of yellow jacket or jumper ant venom, the risk of an immediate generalized reaction to a sting is approximately 5% per sting. Honey bee VIT is less effective by that criterion (the risk of a generalized reaction is of the order of 20% per sting), but needs to be assessed against an adverse natural history without immunotherapy. Many of the documented "failures" have involved mild systemic reactions.
Although a statistical assessment of the effect of VIT on the risk of death is difficult if not impossible, studies in yellow jacket-sensitive subjects have shown a marked improvement in quality of life.
Problems with VIT include the following:
- Selection of subjects and co-morbidities. Any subject with a history of a systemic allergic reaction to a sting and evidence by skin testing or in vitro tests of specific IgE to that venom should be considered for VIT. There is not yet evidence to support the use of VIT in asymptomatic sensitized subjects or in subjects who have experienced systemic reactions but lack evidence of IgE to the venom. There is recent evidence that VIT can reduce the tendency to excessively large local reactions, but given costs and morbidity, use of VIT for this purpose should be highly selective. Subjects whose co-morbidities or treatments might render them at high risk of adverse VIT outcomes may be the subjects most at risk when left untreated and special considerations beyond the scope of this general review apply to this group (refer M?ller and Haeberli, 2005). Elevated baseline serum tryptase or definite systemic mastocytosis are associated with an increased risk of side effects during venom immunotherapy and of relapses after stopping it. Four fatal sting reactions have been reported after stopping venom immunotherapy. Three occurred in patients with documented systemic mastocytosis, in the fourth mastocytosis, was not considered in the differential diagnosis. For this reason, VIT in patients with systemic mastocytosis is recommended for life (Mueller, 2007).
- Regimens. The most rigorous trials have used regimens in which incremental doses are given in ambulatory care at approximately weekly visits, either several doses per visit ("clustered" or "semi-rush") or single doses per visit or a mixture of the two. "Ultra-rush," in-hospital regimens, take patients to maintenance doses over 1-2 days or to near maintenance doses over 4 hours. Such regimens are now widely used because they appear to offer greater convenience and accelerated achievement of the target maintenance dose. With VIT to yellow jacket, such regimens appear also to have safety advantages, but whether this pertains to other venoms, which engender higher reaction rates during VIT, is problematic.
Similarly, the selection of monthly 100-microgram maintenance doses for vespid, honey bee and jack jumper ant VIT has been empirical. Some subjects benefit from doses as low as 50 mcg, whilst others require doses of 250 mcg. Many subjects who tolerate their monthly maintenance doses can have progressive extension of the interval for maintenance injections to every 6-8 weeks. Although selected subjects who tolerate VIT may be treated every third month, the rate at which it should be attempted and its effect on long-term outcomes remains open to question.
- Morbidity. Within published trials and large-scale prospectively defined studies, 10-40% of subjects have experienced systemic allergic reactions to VIT. Within that range, yellow jacket venom gives fewer reactions than does bee or jumper ant VIT. Whilst most reactions fall short of anaphylaxis, the risks are sufficient to warrant limitation of immunotherapy to personnel and centers expert in the procedure and at recognizing and treating anaphylaxis and to situations of fully informed consent.
- Duration. Suggested endpoints to VIT include reversion of venom skin tests and in vitro tests for venom-specific IgE to negative and/or 5 years of well-tolerated maintenance VIT. However, the first is achieved within 5 years in only a minority of subjects. Furthermore, once immunotherapy ceases, there is a risk of relapse of clinical sensitivity that has been estimated at around 10% per sting. After two decades, the reactivity of the post-VIT population approximates that of sting-allergic subjects who have not had further venom exposure. Approaches to this problem include continuing VIT indefinitely in high-risk subjects and ongoing carriage of an adrenaline auto-injector.
- Development of VIT. Measures that would facilitate VIT or reduce its morbidity would be valued. There are reports of use of IL-10 or of alum adjuvant for this purpose and a few case reports in which omalizumab (monoclonal, humanized anti-IgE that binds IgE at the Fc epsilon R1 binding site, thus preventing participation in mast and basophil triggering) was used in difficult cases to facilitate VIT. The broader applicability and cost-effectiveness of these approaches needs to be studied.
Circumstantial evidence exists that in contrast with the experience with vespids, honey bees and jack jumper ants, whole-body extracts of imported fire ant may be effective, presumably because they contain sufficient venom. Nevertheless, a rigorous comparison with a venom extract appears warranted.
There are cost problems with provision of venoms for some Hymenoptera species, either because of limited distribution (e.g. jack jumper ants, some paper wasp species) or very small quantities of venom available from each insect (e.g. imported fire ant). Experimental work is underway with recombinant allergens for diagnosis and therapy.
At an individual level, reasonable measures include minimization of situations that attract the responsible insects (e.g. garbage, uneaten food for yellow jackets and perfumes for honey bees) and use of protective footwear and clothing. At a community level, many of the sting allergy problems have an ecological basis, such as introduction of the imported fire ant into the USA where natural controls are lacking and decline of native predators (echidnas) of the jack jumper ant and intrusion of housing into the ants' natural habitat.

Well we used safety ladder for a totally different project. We were one of the host for the canoe race on Buffalo Bayou and needed a way for the guest to scale the bank of the bayou. I thought of making a climbing rope but your ladder was much easier for our guest to use.Thanks for the quick delivery. Jeff Heilers
Portable Fire Escape
By Forever Student
from Kansas City
It is very lightweight and sturdy and easy to set into my window. In case of fire, I will feel confident that I will be able to get out of my 2nd story apartment window. I pray that I never have to live thru a fire !
Feel prepared
By Trixxiefox
from Atlanta, GA
I feel safer. Live in a two story home and never worried about fire. During the Christmas season there were so many home fires and suddenly I realized I would have no way out if a fire started downstairs, so I purchased the escape ladder. Now I feel safer and so easy to use.
High quality fire ladder
By Jennifer
from Des Moines, IA
Fortunately, we haven't had to use a fire escape ladder. However if will ever will, I'm confident that this high quality ladder by First Alert is THE one to have. We've practiced our fire escape plan once everyone is out of the house, but we never had a solid plan to actually GET OUT. My 7- and 14-year-old boys will be able to lift these ladders over the edge of their 2nd story windows and climb out (they are 50 lbs & 100 lbs, respectively). The ladders are solid and strong, and even if they are never used in an emergency, these are well worth the money for the peace of mind.
I would buy this product again.

from Cleveland, Oh
I would not purchase the special gift wrap again as the item was too heavy and packed incorrectly. The wrap was all torn up when box was opened. The packaging protective material was not enough to keep the item from shifting while in transit. Also, the card was poorly designed.
I had been looking for this,

from Vancouver, WA
Haven't needed to try it yet - but it's there if I'm on the second floor of my house and need to get out (ie fire on first floor)/

Hasek's most important work was centered around the deeply funny story of a hapless Czech soldier in the Austro-Hungarian army -- dismissed for incompetence only to be pressed into service by the Russians in World War I (where he is captured by his own troops). A mischief-maker, bohemian and drunk, Hasek demonstrated his wit in this classic novel of the Czech character and preposterous nature of war.

Aegerion Pharmaceuticals said today that the FDA had approved lomitapide (Juxtapid) to help further lower cholesterol in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. The approval comes with a box warning about the risk of hepatotoxicity and a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) Program which will require certification of health care providers and pharmacies before the drug can be prescribed and dispensed. The drug is expected to cost between $200,000-$300,000 per year.
The novel drug, which is a microsomal triglyceride transfer protein inhibitor is indicated, according to the label, "as an adjunct to a low-fat diet and other lipid-lowering treatments, including LDL apheresis where available, to reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), apolipoprotein B (apo B), and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH)" The label notes that the safety and effectiveness of the drug has not been established in hypercholesterolemia patients who do not have homozygous FH and that the effect of the drug on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality has not been determined.

|All Recent SEC Filings
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Financial Statements and
On June 27, 2014, United States Antimony Corporation (the "Company") entered into a placement agent letter agreement (the "Placement Agent Agreement") in which Ecoban Securities Corporation ("Ecoban") served as placement agent relating to a registered direct offering by the Company of up to an aggregate of 1,453,288 shares of its common stock (the "Common Stock") pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 27, 2014 (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"), by and among the Company and the Purchasers (as defined therein). Each Purchaser paid the negotiated price of $1.40 for each share of Common Stock that it purchased, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $2,034,603, before deducting placement agent's fees and estimated offering expenses. The net offering proceeds to the Company from the sale of the shares of Common Stock, after deducting placement agent's fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, are approximately $1,912,527.
A copy of the Placement Agent Agreement, opinion of Stoel Rives LLP, and Securities Purchase Agreement are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 1.1 and 10.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing is only a brief description of the material terms of the Placement Agent Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement, and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and such descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to these exhibits.
The Company offered and sold the above described shares of Common Stock pursuant to a prospectus dated May 9, 2014 and a prospectus supplement dated June 27, 2014, pursuant to the Company's shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (SEC File No. 333-195836) previously declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Shelf Registration Statement"). A copy of the prospectus supplement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

"Get busy living, or get busy dying." There is more sentiment in that one quote from The Shawshank Redemption than there are in most movies. This film is a true modern treasure—a timeless film that will be remembered and revered with the likes of It's a Wonderful Life and other poignant classics. The story, based on a Stephen King short story, starts off quickly, with the trial of Andy Dufresne playing over the opening credits. The trial is not the important part here and by filming the opening in that way, director Frank Darabont lets his audience know that we do not need to show how Andy was falsely accused. It is just important to know that he is. The real importance of this film lies in the relationship between two heterosexual men and that no matter how bleak things look, one should never, ever give up hope. There is nothing strange about the relationship between Andy and Red. They just are two men who form a deep bond of love while incarcerated. The middle of the film takes the audience on various other little journeys, such as the saga of prison librarian Brooks, who gets released after 50+ years at Shawshank Prison. The stories of these other characters strengthen the movie's base as a powerful, inspirational story about love and hope. One of the best film endings ever, the last 20 minutes of this film are even stronger than the first 20, something very few films can attest to. Anyone who has been staying away from this film because they think it is a "prison" movie is missing out on one of the best on-screen relationships (whether platonic or romantic) ever conceived. And, just try watching this one without getting a lump in your throat or tears in your eyes. For both men and women, that's a very tall order.
Posts Tagged: Tim Robbins
A minor league veteran (Kevin Costner) trains an undisciplined, cocky pitcher (Tim Robbins) whose goal is to get to "the show" (the major leagues). Susan Sarandon as the team's groupie convincingly plays a women who feels she must train one player per season in ways that have little to do with their performance on the field. This film features great comic dialogue about baseball and relationships between men and woman, as well as star-making performances for Costner, Robbins, and director Ron Shelton. Her role as Annie also put Sarandon back on the map as a sexy leading lady.
I am not a big fan of recent war movies…especially those about the Iraqi War. The ones I have seen have had a distorted message that messes up the story so much that it ruins the movie. But, the cast was so good here…I thought I would try it. And, it turned out to be a good, strong movie that is more about what war does to the people and less about why we are over there. The story revolves around three lost souls…who are on month leave from the Army and from the Middle East. Two of them want out of the Army…one is just confused with her life in general. But, in the end, they all find that the Army not only provides them with common ground, it is the stability they all need. Wonderful!

Step 1: Hold Down
Make sure that the acrylic is held down securely. If it's not it can vibrate or flex ruining your cut altogether or marring the finish. On a T-Slot tabletop,with a sacrificial board, a few strips of double sided tape on the back side will go a long way to secure the piece. If you prefer, you can also use spray adhesives. Just make sure that the chemical properties are suitable for acrylic. A Vacuum Hold Table can make things easier, but if you're cutting pieces with a small surface area you may want to take these precautions as well.
Step 2: Bits
When cutting Acrylic, you won't get the best result using wood cutting bits, as cutting and chip removal are much more important. We recommend using a bit designed for Acrylic cutting. Our customers typically get the best results using "O-Flute" End Mill Bits.
While you can use bits of all sizes, it's generally advisable to use the largest bit possible for your design, as this increases depth possible, stability and removal of waste material.
Make sure that your bits stay sharp, as a dull bit will not give you the edges you want.
Step 3: Feedrate
Can you recommend a 1/4" bit that has an edge finish that is nice enough to be glued without any prep after routing?

A review of Saturday's action in the Scottish Premiership.
A dramatic header in injury-time by Charlie Mulgrew gave leaders Celtic a share of the spoils in a 1-1 draw against Dundee United at Parkhead.
The Tannadice side looked to be heading for their first win in the east end of Glasgow for 21 years as they resolutely defended a lead given to them in the 38th minute by midfielder Stuart Armstrong.
That long-awaited victory would have been almost certain had striker Brian Graham not missed an incredible sitter in the 65th minute when he somehow made a hash of a Nadir Ciftci cross, and the visitors were made to pay in the second minute of three added on as Mulgrew rose to flick a cross from Emilio Izaguirre into the net.
Inverness moved back up to second with a 2-1 victory over Kilmarnock.
Aaron Doran's deflected effort in the seventh minute put Inverness in front at the break, before Graeme Shinnie moved them further in front with a sublime finish in the 52nd minute.
Kilmarnock briefly threatened to take something out of this match when Darren Barr struck from close range in the 76th minute - but they could not find an equaliser.
Hearts returned to earth with a bump following the high of their League Cup derby success as goals from Nigel Hasselbaink and Stevie May earned St Johnstone a 2-0 win at Tynecastle.
The home side made a bright start but Hasselbaink headed home in the 28th minute and St Johnstone never looked like relinquishing their lead.
May netted his ninth goal of the season in the 53rd minute when he curled home brilliantly following a spell of intense pressure and, although Hearts kept pressing for a way back, Saints held firm to record a third consecutive victory and clean sheet and consolidate their place in the top six.
Ross County experienced a second abandoned match in nine days as a waterlogged pitch halted their game at St Mirren six minutes into the second half.
The home side were two goals up against their Dingwall opponents when referee Willie Collum decided the game could not continue.
The St Mirren ground staff tried for half an hour to make the pitch playable, but with heavy rain continuing to pour down in Paisley, Collum had no option but to call the game off.

The Late, Late Show with Craig Kilborn will not be Tomorrow or The Daily Show. Make no mistake: Kilborn is in control. "Total control, which is dangerous," says Kilborn. "They're listening to me too much." The set will look like his home in the Hollywood Hills: hardwood floors, a liquor cabinet and a rolling liquor cart -- "Because I know young people like to look at alcohol," Kilborn says. Will guests drink? "I'll break some FCC rules," he says.
The show will be more Kilborn, less script. Unlike The Daily Show, there will be no correspondents. Yes, he'll do "Five Questions," the silly bit wherein he asks the guest some hard, some easy, some answerable, some facetious questions. Kilborn will do an opening monologue, there'll be an "average of 2.5 guests a show" and, on Friday nights, the show will feature music.
Although Kilborn has moved on from sports, he's still a junkie homing in at home on his favorite, the NBA, with his satellite dish. This is one of his favorite trivia questions: In the NBA, who since 1980 are the six white guys who averaged at least 25 points a game for an entire season? Kilborn claims he named all six when he was asked this the first time. The answer? Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Chris Mullin, Tom Chambers, Kiki Vandeweghe, Kelly Tripucka. The last two are hard to believe but true.
Kilborn, who was born in Kansas City and grew up in Minnesota, now has what he wanted, even more than he wanted. "All I ever wanted, which was actually a lot, was my own show," says Kilborn. "It didn't have to be on CBS. It could have been on late-night radio in San Francisco, but it's pretty amazing to be on CBS." His advice? "Be sure to watch the first show. It's going to be funny." Don't think he was being facetious. No, of course not. (DJW)
CHASE SCENES: The Chase Park Plaza isn't quite buffed to its former high shine, but the first of the redevelopment project's new offerings to open is the Chase Park Plaza Cinemas, a five-screen theater that premieres on Friday, March 26.
Run by Harman Moseley, who also operates the Kirkwood Cinema, the Chase will occupy the same niche as the Plaza Frontenac, Hi-Pointe and Tivoli theaters, but Moseley doesn't believe St. Louis is "overscreened" when it comes to such art houses because "the audience for these films has broadened." Nor is the Chase an art house in the strictest sense. The opening lineup of EDtv, Shakespeare in Love, Life Is Beautiful, Gods and Monsters and Six Ways to Sunday provides a clear indicator of the theater's basic mix-and-match approach. And Moseley says he will adjust to his audience's desires and try to satisfy "the interests of the neighborhood, which is a little bit different than other parts of St. Louis." For example, Moseley plans to "target" the Central West End's gay population by offering commercial runs of films that might otherwise only appear at the St. Louis International Lesbian and Gay Film Festival.
The theater sits on the Lindell side of the development with its own lobby space -- a long, sparely but tastefully appointed space with concession stand -- behind a glass wall that separates it from the main lobby. A marquee will be installed by mid-April on Lindell, and Moseley says, "It'll be mammoth. Because it's on an 11-story building, for the right scale, it has to be enormous."
The five auditoriums -- which feature Dolby SR sound, with "absolutely no bleed-through," and comfortable seats -- are "themed" with trompe l'oeil murals created by St. Louis artist Dick Godwin. His goal, says Moseley, is to create "a modern-day atmospheric theater. Most modern theaters are just drywall boxes." The largest house, with stadium seating, will hold about 200 people and re-creates the look of a "baroque movie palace." It features "full-blown, six-channel stereo," and Moseley says that when they ran the Dolby test film, "you could feel the sound." Three smaller houses seat about 125; two of them sport murals inspired by Italy and France, and the third is an "alternative auditorium" that features Times Square and the San Francisco Bay Area. The smallest house, seating about 100, conjures the St. Louis of old with scenes from the World's Fair and a riverboat.
The Chase will initially be open in the evenings only on weekdays, with matinees added on the weekends, but within two weeks Moseley plans to be "open seven days a week from 12 to 12."
Parking -- often a problem in the CWE -- has been addressed. Free lots are available directly across Lindell on either side of the Vencor Building. The lot that fronts Euclid is open all day; the lot that borders Kingshighway is available after 5 p.m. Valet parking for $3 at the Kingshighway entrance is also an option, and free valet parking is offered before 4 p.m. In addition, a 460-car garage, with free parking for the theater, is targeted for a late-'99 opening.
But whatever the future brings, it's already show time for Moseley and his theater. (CF)
FLOTSAM & JETSAM: Okay, it's one thing to report on an allegation of assault on a student by a teacher in Venice, Ill., even if the main evidence is fingernail scratches on the child, but to lead the 10 o'clock news with it, as Channel 30 did last week, and herald it as an exclusive? Cool your jets, please. ...When Tim Russert of Meet the Press told guest Bob Dole on Sunday that he wanted to talk about "ED," Dole quickly took that to mean his wife, presidential hopeful Elizabeth Dole, and not erectile dysfunction, the subject of his advertisements. Toward the end of the interview, Russert asked Dole whether those commercials might have an adverse effect on his wife's campaign. Bob said, no, there might even be a big "Viagra vote" out there. Love that Bob; you just can't keep a good man down -- or can you? ... Look at Steve Forbes and think: Bill Haas with lots of money and fewer workable ideas. ... Campaign 2000: George W. Bush vs. Al Gore -- the battle of the fortunate sons. (DJW)

Scunthorpe player-coach Andy Dawson is hoping to pass on his experience to the Glamford Park youngsters as the Iron prepare for life in League Two.
Left-back Dawson, 34, was persuaded by Scunthorpe boss Brian Laws to return to the club after a decade at Hull. He considered taking up a coaching role with the Tigers, but opted to come back to the Iron.
Dawson told Scunthorpe's official website: "I know the manager really well. It is a good opportunity
"It is part of a learning curve for me and I want to progress as a coach.
"There are a lot of young lads and they have a very good attitude and they always want to learn and that is all I have ever done as a player."

By Kathleen T. RhemAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27, 2003 Iraq's disarmament is inevitable, the Defense Department's senior policy writer told an Arab media outlet Jan. 24.
Iraq must disarm "either through cooperation with the U.N., or the United States will lead a coalition of willing countries to bring about the disarmament of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction," Douglas Feith, undersecretary for policy, told Al Jazeera, an Arab television station based in the Persian Gulf nation of Qatar.
Feith reminded that the U.N. Security Council unanimously approved Resolution 1441 to give the Iraqi government a final chance to disarm peacefully. Inspectors were sent into the country to help the government fulfill its obligations to the United Nations.
But Iraq has been intent on hiding the truth about its weapons programs. "There are a number of things the Iraqi government has done in recent weeks that are not cooperative," Feith said.
He cited Iraqi unwillingness to allow its scientists to be interviewed outside Iraq or even inside Iraq without government officials present, and the false declaration Iraq submitted to the United Nations in December. Iraq has also continued to fire on U.S. and coalition aircraft patrolling the Northern and Southern No-fly zones in the country.
"The key to making the inspections work is the Iraqi government making the crucial decision that, because of the international pressure, Iraq has to disarm itself," Feith said. "Otherwise, President Bush has made clear the only alternative Iraq will have is to be disarmed by force."

By Chef Lisa Jones of Cahoots Catering
Pork loin can sometimes be dry and boring—but not this recipe! This is a new addition to our catering menu and it has been a big hit. Pomodoro, an Italian word for tomato, and chimichurri, a thick Argentinean herb sauce, come together in this delightful combination. If you can find pomodoraccio, an Italian semi-sundried tomato, that will work best.
1- four-pound pork loin
Brining liquid
8 cups very hot water
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp course ground pepper
2 bay leaves
Mix all brining ingredients together and stir until salt and sugar are dissolved. Pour into a 4-quart stainless steel bowl, let cool. When the brine has cooled, add the pork loin, making sure it is completely submerged in brine. Let marinate for 12-24 hours.
Pomodoro Chimichurri Sauce
6 garlic cloves
1 large shallot
1 jalapeño, or other favorite chili
2 cups fresh, flat-leaf parsley
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup fresh oregano, or sweet marjoram leaves
1 cup pomodoraccio, or sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons Kosher salt
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup good quality olive oil
Add the garlic, shallots and pepper to the bowl of the food processor and chop. Add the fresh herbs, tomatoes, salt and vinegar. Pulse the machine while slowly adding in the oil until blended.
Pork Preparation
1 pound thick-cut bacon, about 15 pieces
Preheat oven to 350˚. Remove pork loin from the brine and pat dry. Place in a roasting pan. Lay bacon slices crosswise over the roast, slightly overlapping with the ends tucked in underneath the roast. Bake for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature is 140˚ degrees. Remove from oven, tent with foil and let rest for about 15 minutes. Slice into ½-inch slices. Arrange on a serving platter. Drizzle with pomodoro chimichurri sauce.

Teeny Lamothe's Sour Cherry Pie
It's just what you want in a sour cherry pie: tongue-tingling fruit (and a dash of almond extract) encased in an easy-to-weave lattice crust. More
It's just what you want in a sour cherry pie: tongue-tingling fruit (and a dash of almond extract) encased in an easy-to-weave lattice crust. More
Hunks of creamy white goat cheese are scattered like clouds over warm pear slices and a whole wheat crust. Sound good? Go for it—this delicious tart is easy to make. More
What better way to celebrate the change of seasons than with the sweet-and-tart combination of berries and rhubarb? This old standby contains just fruit, sugar, and a little something to thicken it up, all wrapped up in a whole wheat crust. More
A pale yellow grapefruit curd provides the background to gem-like pomegranate seeds, all wrapped up by a hearty wheat crust. It's a citrus-heavy dessert that serves up winter fruit in a creative way. More
There are several fruits in this pie, but not in the way you'd expect. First, an egg yolk-and-cornstarch grapefruit custard is made, into which is added a cup of pomegranate seeds. The entire thing is ensconced in a whole-wheat crust, garnished liberally with whipped cream and, of course, more pomegranate seeds. More
A comprehensive education in the world of pie is what you'll find in these pages. There are the expected crust tutorials, explanations of why to use what ingredient and when, as well as a run-down of various crust-weaving techniques. But what makes the book unique is Teeny's rediscovery of the deep traditions of pie-making; oh, and the delicious recipes. More

The Thing Itself, On the Search for Authenticity
by Richard Todd
"The Thing Itself is a small masterpiece—
and 'small' only because of its brevity, not its scope."
—Julia Keller, Chicago Tribune
In the introduction to The Thing Itself, Richard Todd writes: "This book began with a simple feeling, the sense that my life and much of the life around me was not 'real.'" What does it mean to be "real," and why do we care about it so much? That is the question that unites a book about subjects as various as antique furniture and television news, wilderness and Disney World, presidential campaigns and intimate memories from the author's own life.
The Thing Itself is about our hunger for authenticity—authenticity in objects and travel, in politics and ideas, and, most important, in ourselves.
Reader beware: this is not a seven-step Guide to a More Authentic Life! It is instead a meditation, by turns comic and lyrical, on an eternal problem with a special relevance to contemporary America.
The Thing Itself was published in August, 2008 by Riverhead Books, New York.

Full detailed profile on Michael McBain Played by Chris Stack on One Life To Live Daytime Soap Opera.
Chris Stack
Birthday: June 13
Out in the hallway, Gigi runs into Michael, who is happy to help trap Stacy - and is furious at what Stacy has done. They briefly talk about Marcie being pregnant then Michael goes to check on Shane, who is playing video games!
Later, Michael and Shane rejoin Gigi, Rex and Stacy, and Michael informs them all that Shane's Leukemia is back! As Shane cries, Rex says, "Thank God we have Stacy!" Rex goes to Stacy, thankful that she can help his son!
As Rex is trying to stop Stacy, Gigi arrives home with Michael!
Packing their apartment, when Michael makes a crack about it taking till Christmas for Marcie to pack, Marcie appears lost in thought then heads out to run an errand.
John meets Michael at Rodi's, who gives him his title to sell his car, but John can't believe that Michael is leaving so suddenly. After promising to visit, John hugs Michael then hears about what happened with Hope.
When Michael arrives back home to the empty apartment, he finds a pregnancy test box, watches as Marcie comes out of the bathroom – and is ecstatic when she shows him the results! Marcie jumps into Michael's arms, as they celebrate her pregnancy!
When Marcie arrives home, Michael holds his arms out to her and tells her that she did the right thing, knowing that there was always a chance that Starr could have wanted Hope back years down the road. Looking in the empty crib, Marcie thinks she's lucky to have Michael then suggests they redecorate – but Michael thinks they should move away from Llanview for good! Michael tells Marcie about the huge job offer he received from a hospital in Seattle, a chance to start over, and Marcie agrees to move, wanting this to be Michael's time to shine!
At the diner, after overhearing Langston talk about Starr almost not signing the adoption papers, Marcie looks at Hope and listens as Langston and Markko elaborate on Starr and Cole's feelings. Marcie hurries back to her table, as Markko and Langston head out for graduation, asking if Marcie will be there along the way. Marcie explains her departure to Michael then leaves in a fluster.
Cole makes a stop at the diner but leaves when he spots Michael reading to Hope. In the background we hear the song "Hold On Tight," by Rie Sinclair.
Marcie arrives shortly after and says, "Michael, I need to tell you something."

It was a great afternoon for some softball in College Station and for a worthy cause too.
Some familiar faces were on the diamond at Veterans Park with team KBTX taking on the Bryan Police Department in a friendly game of softball.
Nearly a dozen teams played Saturday in support of the Sexual Assault Resource Center. SARC provides crisis services, educational prevention programs, and even free counseling for those affected by sexual violence.
"Today I think is our 9th annual Bob Wyatt Crosstown Lockdown it's just something we do every year just as a way to kind of connect with the community and as well as raise funds for just general support for the agency. We always have a good turnout," said Anna Chowdhury, Sexual Assault Resource Center Executive Director.
The Sexual Assault Resource Center typically serves between 300 and 400 people a year.

Hello! We are the Cemetery "Hoppers" Committee for the White River Valley Historical Society (WRVHS), which is located in Forsyth, MO and has been in existence for nearly 50 years. There are over 170 known cemeteries in Taney County, and we have transcribed nearly all of them, including the largest ones! We go on cemetery "hops" at least once a month, and would love to have you join us sometime!
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION GUIDELINES: We will be pleased to add your additional information; however, as a historical society, we must provide the source for our information (if not found on the tombstone). If a specific source is not listed (ie. obituary newspaper name/date or death cert state/#), we will list your first name and FAG #, or email address if not logged in. By doing this, other researchers will be able to reference the specific source, or contact you directly, if they have questions.
TRANSFER GUIDELINES: We are happy to transfer if you are a direct relative and can identify to us how you are related. The exception to this is if one of our committee members is also a direct relative - in that case, it will remain in the care of the entire committee. (Several of our members have requested that their direct ancestors be maintained by WRVHS, in order to assure that more than one person is available to care for the memorial.)
HOW TO REQUEST A TRANSFER OR CORRECTION/ADDITION TO EXISTING MEMORIAL: Please click on the "edit" tab of the record you are requesting, and then the "correction" link. In the text box, let us know what your relationship is, and also provide us with your Find A Grave number (found on your bio page next to your name). PLEASE ALLOW SEVERAL WEEKS, as only a couple of members handle these, and have full work schedules; consequently, the requests are only checked once or twice a month.
Thank you! - Leslie Wyman and Jeff Michel, WRVHS Cemetery Co-Chairs

Request transfers
I made some suggestions for additions to
Walter Wood Fitzgearl # 50229666 and his wife
Lee White Fitzgearl #50229665.
They were my grandmother's uncle and aunt & I really enjoyed visiting them when I was a youngster. ..especially chasing his peacocks and trying to catch their feathers! They had no children and if there is no family on Aunt Lee's side I would be very happy to have their sites transferred to me. Thank you so much for the lovely pictures of their stones and all the work you are doing. If you don't mind I would like to use them for my family tree. my contributor's number is #46583155 Thanks again for all you do Betty Solooki

Leroy Thomas
Hello. I found that there were two memorial for Leroy Thomas, and had emailed you, requesting that one be deleted. However, now I see that both have been deleted, and Leroy, a Civil War Veteran, no longer has a memorial. Will you be adding one back for him? Please let me know, as he is an ancestor. Thank you.
