Ice or Frozen Water is Food.That statement may or may not be real to you. This is our industry's point of view- "Ice is Food." But to all the people we have surveyed, they don't agree. In fact, the people we surveyed said that water is not food let alone frozen water. What then do you call the frozen water the ice you eat as part of a drink if it isn't called food? While ice it isn't meat, poultry, or vegetation because one ingests this as part of or as an ingredient to something else, it is a food product simply due to the fact we eat/drink it.
So we treat water and frozen water as a food product. We use every effort to protect it from contamination. Contamination is anything which is not supposed to be included. So if anything we remove ingredients (filter) from our water supply to deliver to you only delicious, yummy, crystal clear, frozen water- never touched by human hands (or any other parts).
Can we discuss the Ice you make at Home?You either have an automated ice making system or you are using plastic trays-
Automated ice making systems built into home freezer/refrigerators: The way these systems start to make ice is when the level of ice in the bin goes down below a set point a switch trips causing the system to start to make ice. It then stops when the switch is made or the level of ice is high enough to turn the switch off.
How is ice made in the above scenario?
Water comes through a water line possibly through a water filer and fills a tray where it freezes to make ice. Then it deposits that ice into a bin in your freezer sitting until you need it. Once made and stored, it is dispensed through a hole on the door into your glass or container.
Let's Examine Making Ice at Home A Bit More Carefully:There is a small water line many times made of copper or now comes from plastic lines connected to your freezer. The water in this line generally sits stagnant in your water line for days or possibly weeks before it flows through your filter into the ice maker. (If you have a filter, if you don't replace that often enough you may be actually adding bacteria to the water.) The water is deposited into the ice tray and once ice is formed, it is then dumped into the storage bin. All the parts of that water are frozen in the process which is part of the reason why your ice at home is so white in color. The ice making parts of this system likely have never been cleaned. Most people occasionally clean the bin but I haven't met many people who have cleaned the actual ice maker.
Then is ice sitting in the bin just sits uncovered in that bin waiting to be dispensed If you could identify the ice made by color or number, you might have an idea how long it had been sitting uncovered in your bin.
This brings up two important questions about food and water: Would you have any food in your freezer or refrigerator sitting uncovered? Ever? This ice is just sitting for long periods sublimating (meaning it goes from solid to gas- shrinking). If it were produce you would see wrinkles on it and know when it got old when to discard it. But ice doesn't wrinkle it just shrinks. You serve it in whatever shape it's in. Regarding the water question: if you had an uncovered glass of water sitting on your counter or in your refrigerator just sitting there for days or weeks Would you EVER drink it or serve it to your friends and family? Chances are you would only drink it if really desperate. But the ice sitting uncovered made from stagnant water, in a machine you've hardly if ever cleaned is served to those you love everyday. It is very curious why we treat frozen water as if it can't grow or contain harmful germs or bacteria (Yes, germs live in ice).
Look at the Ice cube tray method of making ice at home:In the case of using ice cube trays. Most of us run water before filling these trays. Again, all the water is used to make ice thus being part of the reason for it being white in color rather than crystal clear.
In the case of the trays, contamination is the big issue: Most times people don't think twice about reaching in grabbing the tray, twisting and handling the ice going into someone's glass. The chance of contamination is high as people don't generally stop to wash their hands well before touching the cubes.
About this time, many people will recall never getting sick from the ice in their drink and think we're just overstating the truth How many times have you ever gotten a stomach upset in your life? How many times did you ever consider the possibility it was the ice that got you sick? Most people blame the chicken, the fish, the mayonnaise a virus, their kid sister . Rare that people ever consider the potential for getting sick from ingesting ice.
Ice Bagged in the Back Rooms of Convenience Stores:How do you know for certain the ice in your convenience store is packaged sanitarily? By seeing our logo on the package you're buying is one way to know for sure. While the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Markets Inspectors do look at the ice makers in the backroom of convenience stores they generally just look in or at the bin. The Food Codes which are used are very general and don't cover how to inspect ice well. Nor are there good guidelines for any store owner to use to insure quality control. Serving a filthy contaminated product is not done with purpose. It is done simply because most people don't see ice as the food it is. If you don't have the reality this is a food product then why would you handle it with care? This ice bin we were referring to earlier is the storage unit under the ice maker. NO convenience store has to undergo monthly tests to insure product safety. No inspector generally takes the covers off of the icemakers in these stores/restaurants to see the filth, the slimy (mucus like) growth in the sump and water areas. There are NO mandates to the sanitation of the equipment used for bagging, no mandatory gloves, hairnets etc which we use as a matter of Good Manufacturing Practice.
Many times you purchase packages of ice in bags with string ties or with some type of closure where anything can get onto or into the product. In some stores we have noticed they store food with the ice and if that food drips into the package one drop of raw chicken will make the entire family ill. Will you ever think was it the ice? Most likely not.
Do you really think that minimum waged employees are washing their hands really well before they bag up the ice in the backroom, for sale out front? Whatever bodily fluid can be found in a bathroom (mucus, earwax, poop and anything from either male or female genital areas) can be found in the ice bagged in this manner.
The regulators think that because ice is used as a refrigerant rather than an ingredient this is acceptable. Combined with the lack of records of people getting sick eating ice explain why the laws do not adequately protect the consumer. But really, even in the case of refrigeration where you are purchasing ice for your cooler, would you want someone's fecal matter on the outside of a can or bottle or even the dead fish you will cook for dinner?? We believe all ice packaged like this should be clearly labeled: NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION.
What about the icemakers you now find at the large box stores? Have you noticed in some of the larger chain stores, there are ice merchandisers where on top of the merchandisers are ice makers and a unit which bags the ice. In this case, there is less potential for human contamination as the ice is being bagged by machinery. But the ONLY time these machines are usually cleaned is when they breakdown. Again, if you saw the slimy, disgusting, interior areas where the ice is being made- you wouldn't stick put this ice into your glass. We believe all ice packaged like this should be clearly labeled: NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION.
What Makes Our Frozen Water Different?When trying to compare this product to any other frozen water in a bag here are the facts: Random samples of our packaged ice is tested by a third party lab monthly. In a home ice maker, all the parts of the water deposited into your icemaker are frozen. In our process, we multi filter the water and then our system constantly pumps and circulates a batch of water at a time through a set of tubes. These tubes are surrounded by a refrigerant and thus the water freezes from the outside in, leaving a small hole on the interior center. In nature from a running stream the purest parts in our case of the filtered water is used to produce this ice. The rest of the water is used elsewhere in our facility and then discarded. When we say we filter it- you can ask why is this different then your filter process at home? We monitor the life of the filters both with pressure readings as well on an hour usage and change our filters on a schedule to insure our filters are working properly and doing their job. True as well for the ice maker itself, we clean and sanitize this regularly to ensure a safe, clean, and delicious ice.
Food Production Standards our ice goes from a machine into another machine and so forth; into a package (only virgin plastics and FDA approved inks are used) which (in most cases) we form here. At NO time is the ice touched by a person. There are many areas of our plant which is off limits to most of our employees and no visitors. If there is any question to the sanitation of product, that product is discarded.
2007 City Ice Company was been recognized by the International Packaged Ice Association (IPIA) for PIQCS (Packaged Ice Quality Control Standards) PLUS accreditation. This includes HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point an excepted Food Industry Safety Program developed for NASA many years ago to be proactive toward food safety for the Airspace program to keep our astronauts safe from food borne illnesses) which is the "Highest Accreditation Granted by the IPIA."

Step 1:
- LED tealights from the dollar store
- four plastic plates
- a paperclip to make a hook
- Hot glue gun
- exacto knife
- scissors
The second photo here shows the back of the eyes and the basic construction. I suspect most of you can make these without a step by step!
Step 2:
I recommend placing the tealight behind the pupil. Otherwise you will have a very bright spot on the whites of your eyes, this is why I have the tealight off center.
Step 4:
I recommend you make your pupils larger than I did. I think it would look better from the road.
Step 5:
Hot glue your pupil plates to your tealight plates.

NM Gov. Restricts Use Of Welfare Cards
A new state rule implemented by Gov. Susana Martinez's administration bars welfare recipients from using their cash assistance cards at gambling establishments, liquor stores and strip clubs.
The Albuquerque Journal reports that the rule took effect when it was published March 31 by the state Human Services Department.
The state House during the 2013 session approved a bill with the same restrictions on cash assistance cards, but the legislation died without a Senate vote.
Human Services Department spokesman Matt Kennicott says the administration decided to enact a rule rather than again seek legislation.
A 2012 federal law requires states to act to prevent the use of welfare cash assistance cards at gambling establishments, liquor stores and strip clubs or face a loss of some federal welfare dollars.

Review: SH Figuarts Warz Gill3
Next on Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger week is Tamashii Web Exclusive SH Figuarts Warz Gill, the pampered prince of Space Empire Zangyack. Here is the review.
SH Figuarts Warz Gill
Figure: Up front, SH Figuarts Warz Gill doesn't look too bad. The colors catch your attention at first, then in time you'll notice some strange things with the figure. Warz Gill has a stupidly stiff mantle/jacket/coat that doesn't do much for me. The pieces are incredibly rigid, and they barely move, and they throw off the figure's balance. It's one variable that makes the figure difficult to pose; it practically needs a figure stand. The wrist cuffs are the worst part of the figure. Because of the nature of plastic, they just project outwards and don't flow as naturally as they should. These not only need to be removed to replace the hands, they hide the hands as well; utter garbage. The sculpt, then, is alright. The details aren't crisp, and the chest looks like lumpy Play Doh. I'm also not sure of what to make of the legs. I was looking forward to sculpted MC Hammer pants, but the legs on the figure are rather thin.
Accessories: Want to talk about accessories? There are three extra hands. That's it. What's worse is that that are pointless because of those stupid wrist cuff things.
Overall: First off, bad guys excite me. As much as I love hero figures, it's the villains that I look forward to the most. SH Figuarts Warz Gill, just doesn't do anything for me. I don't get the arrogant spoiled vibe from the sculpt, and it's bland. It's funny, I actually like the design of the suit as well as his crew, but this? Meh. In my books this was a wasted effort; plus I don't see why this wasn't a Figuarts Zero.

At Fruitlands, Alcott was able to withdraw from institutions and social structures for a much needed retreat and to explore the relationships between individuals and their world.To Alcott, the material world, especially nature, expressed aspects of the universal divinity - ideas that became central aspects of Transcendentalism. His vision for a new order included a philosophy that explained and integrated changes in science, technology and man's relationship to God. He believed the universe was benevolent, that everything has a spiritual essence, and that "one Divine nature flows through all visible things."
Clara Endicott Sears was inspired by a "ghost of the past" to restore Fruitlands in 1914 as a museum to preserve the memory of Alcott's experiment and the Transcendentalist movement.

Lilli and Loo isn't the best Asian restaurant I've eaten in but it's pretty good. The service is prompt and efficient. The food is pretty much standard Asian restaurant fare but there are some delicious surprises such as their warm beef salad, spicy and tangy and nutritious. Their sashimi is melt-in-your-mouth fresh and one of the best bargains in New York at $12.95. And their fresh fruit drinks are delicious and refreshing, especially something called lemongrass limeade which I could drink by the gallon -- it's that good.

The nice interior certainly gave me some hope, but the food was at best mediocre. I ordered from the Lunch menu which might have compounded the problem, but any half way decent restaurant would not have its customers eat this stuff. It seems that what they offered you was what you would get from the $5.00 menu (everything included) from a hole in the wall Chinese place that serviced "the more food the better" crowd, but in a nice surrounding (I only had one bite of the "Beef" which suspiciously tasted like can). In any event, since I frequent restaurants pretty much based on the food, they certainly wil not see me again.

I am gluten free and came to this restaurant because I heard that they had a gluten free menu. I chose gf pad thai thinking that it would be as I remembered regular pad thai or better. I was very disappointed. The food was not very good. My non gf friend also ordered an appetizer and main dish and she was disappointed also, so it just wasn't the gf food. Definitely will not eat here again.

Couldn't have been better. Walked in after 8PM, no reservation and were seated immediately. The service, the sushi, and the fact that a lot of restaurants were closed made this a very unique find. No complaints at all, wonderful, full menu, also gluten free.

We decided to order from a new Chinese restaurant and came upon lilli and loo. What a disappointment! Both dishes we ordered lacked any kind of flavor. The portion sizes were good but I ate about a quarter and the rest went to waste. I tried to add soy sauce to it and it didn't help. Very bland. Regretfully, we won't be ordering out again.

I loved the moo shoo chicken and fruit smoothie. Great food.
Posted by Anonymous on 10/29/2008
Loved this place. Tasty gluten free food, gluten free bier, nice interior and good service. Definitely a place I would recommend to everybody - with or without gluten. Love.

When you are trying to market your products or services and set up a website, it is important to keep the content fresh. But your website is not the only place that you need to be keeping full of original, informational, and valuable information. You also need to focus on the other strategies a business can use to successfully promote their business.
Here are 5 places you will need to supply with fresh, SEO-friendly content:
All pages of your website should be updated with accurate information. You want to ensure phone numbers work, emails work, and the information you are supplying to visitors well represents your company. You may not have to update the content as often as you would a blog but it can definitely help to keep your website accurate and active.
A blog on your website is a great way to stay in touch with your audience. Whatever your product or service is about your blog is a good way to distribute information, knowledge, and experience to visitors. Search engines will also pick up the information from your blog through your use of keywords. Blogs should be updated at the very least weekly or several times a day, seven days a week.
Social Media
Many businesses connect best with customers and potential clients on social media pages like Facebook and Twitter. Providing these feeds with fresh content and conversation can be instrumental in grabbing and keeping people's interest. It is important plan strategies for adding new material to your social media pages on a regular basis, preferably daily. Stay interactive posting and replying to comments.
Emails are a great way for a business to stay in touch with past, current, and potential customers. Providing useful information in an email along with a strategy for selling your services or product can be an effective way to generate business leads.
Newsletters, often distributed via email, are a great way to show off your skills and knowledge. Providing a weekly or monthly newsletter to share news of your industry or business is an effective method for letting people know you are knowledgeable about what's going on and able to help people through useful information.
Keeping up with all this demand for fresh content may require assistance. Hiring a freelance writer with online writing experience, like those found at ReliableWriters.com, is certainly something to consider so you can continue to handle the other aspects of your business.

Recently there has been a massive influx of articles relating to the "negative health impacts" of NBN towers in rural areas. Every one I read gives no details, studies, or any coherent arguments as to why this is a concern.
Generally there is a low number (<1% of the council's population) of people objecting to the towers, yet they are not only being heard without challenge, they are actually winning out over scientists, engineers, & standards bodies. Councils are accepting the rejections as based on fact, rather than as the tin foil hattery that it is.
These groups are usually lead by tree changers that have moved from wireless saturated landscapes to rural areas, bringing with them their idiotic conspiracies & theories on how EMR (Electromagnetic Radiation)Â works.
Looking into the amount of radiation an NBN tower emits at ground level, there are a number of reasons not to be worried at all.
Firstly, EMR from 4G towers is non-ionising radiation. This kind of radiation does not have the same health risks as ionising radiation, the kind found in fissile material, X-rays, gamma rays, etc. There it is not possible for non-ionising radiation to have mutagenic effects, it just doesn't happen.
The most EMR can do is cause mollecules in the body to heat up, not unlike how your microwave works. However the power required to do this is far beyond that of a 4G tower.
At ground level, a 40m high NBN fixed wireless (4G) tower will emit 0.04 µW/m², 1/25,000 below the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) public exposure limit. With this in mind, here's some far greater exposures that these people are living with every day:
- A microwave oven's limit for EMR leakage is 5 mW/cm² at 5cm or 5 000 000 µW/m².
- Standing under the power line out the front of their house gives 239 W/m² or 239 000 000 µW/m².
- Standing in their bathroom is the same as standing under a power line.
- The average wireless network, standing directly under the access point gives 315 146 µW/m².
- The average surface radiation from the sun (yes, the sun) is 1000 W/m² or 1 000 000 000 µW/m².
So before we let this idiots (yes, they are idiots, it took me 20 minutes to find this data) blog on their computers giving higher radiation levels than the tower they are opposing ruin it for the rest of us, participate in your community forums, inform council members that there are websites (ARPANSA is a good start), scientists, & engineers who have all the information they need to make the right choice for the community.
This is not about opposing the NBN for health concerns, it's a mishmash of LNP alligned tree changers wanting to spoil the NBN for the rest of the community, & those who are so uninformed they will eat up any dire news they can. With these "concerns" being fuelled by a media so complacent they won't challenge this kind of stupidity, there is little hope of stemming the tide of less than 1% of a community objecting (& winning) to NBN fixed wireless towers.
On a lighter note, University of California – Berkeley have done research into Tin Foil Hats (Helmets). It doesn't look good for tin foil hat wearers, if anything it exacerbates the small amount of radiation you would receive from a 4G tower.

I-Say is another survey company with very positive reviews that you may want to try out. They are currently accepting people in three specific demographics so if you fit into any of these, I highly recommend that you sign up. They will then send you surveys to complete, and you will be rewarded with points for each one that you do. They also send out new "top secret" products for you to test, and all you have to do in return is tell them your opinion about it! Points are redeemable for prizes or American Express Gifts cards (as good as cash).
If you fit into any of these groups, be sure to click on the correct link to increase your odds of approval:
Young Adults age 18-30
African Americans
I will be sure to let you know when they start recruiting for other demographics. Good luck and have fun earning some extra money!

All these kids will start their NFL careers in the drug program and be tested more frequently.
All these kids will start their NFL careers in the drug program and be tested more frequently.
The point isn't whether you're an elite prospect or not. Harvin, Sapp, Raji, or anybody else that fails a drug test on the ONLY time when they absolutely shouldn't, is just as stupid as Hosley. It didn't affect their draft slot.
We'll find out exactly how much it affects Hosley's stock by the time the weekend is over. If Harvin, Sapp, Raji, Calvin Johnson, etc. were 1st round picks clean or not clean... then Hosley is a top 100 pick clean or not clean by the same standard.
I don't remember Pac-Man Jones failing any drug tests, but like I said, you can't fix stupid. It's the type of people that these kids associate themselves with that teams need to be worried about.
Ricky Williams was one of the biggest potheads the league has ever had. But a thug he wasn't.
Jayron Hosley's off field issues have to be evaluated on what type of kid he really is just like everybody else has to be. Including the one's with multiple DUI's like Michael Floyd, academic ineligibilty like Ronnell Lewis, and stealing lap tops, cheating, and just generally being a hot dog like Cam Newton.

Superdome blackout figured out
The cause of the blackout that cost the Ravens so much of their energy and momentum in Sunday night's Super Bowl was revealed on Friday.
In an Associated Press story, the company which supplies the energy for the building said a "device designed specifically to prevent a blackout failed and plunged the game into darkness for more than half an hour."
Entergy New Orleans confirmed in the story that this device, which is called a "relay" had actually been put in to help the Superdome not have problems with the cable which connects its "Incoming power line with the lines that run into the stadium."
But it didn't work correctly, thereby causing the 34-minute delay in play early in the third quarter, after the Ravens had taken a 28-6 lead over the 49ers. The Ravens eventually held on for a 34-31 victory in Super Bowl XLVII.
The power failure put about half of the stadium into darkness during that time period.
The article also said that officials in New Orleans apparently had concerns that this might affect the city's chances of hosting another Super Bowl. But commissioner Roger Goodell said the NFL still would consider New Orleans to host a Super Bowl again. Mayor Mitch Landrieu said in the article that they're going to make a bid for the game once more in 2018.

Years and years ago my brother-in-law brought me a swank little fruitcake, all packaged and primped and wrapped up, all the way from London to my not-so-tony walk-up apartment in Manhattan's Upper West Side.

Sticky. Toffee. Pudding. When I say these words aloud I see my listeners' pupils dilate, their fingers twitch, their teeth bite vampire-like into their bottom lips.

When prodded or scooped, the cake bleeds out helplessly and deliciously. More
My Thanksgiving table isn't complete without an assortment of cranberry sauces. I like to have a basic back-of-the-bag recipe flanked by versions spiked with wine, studded with different fruits, punched up with spices and zest. The sauces are usually only perfunctorily spooned on plates, given the limited real estate, but that translates into ample leftovers. This year, I wanted to showcase the ruby red, tart cranberry sauce and give it its due by putting it on a pedestal (or cake stand). More

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a renowned book written by Mark Twain in the 19th century. Tom Sawyer is a character who has lived on through the generations without losing his popularity. Millions today still enjoy The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
The story takes place in Missouri in a small town nestled along the mighty Mississippi River. It is a wonderful tale of a young boy and his propensity to find trouble with a capital T.
Tom Sawyer is a mischievous, yet kind-hearted, boy who lives with his Aunt Polly and brother Sid. Tom and Sid's mother had passed away and Aunt Polly stepped in to mother the boys, but she cannot bring herself to be strict with them, and Tom has an instinctual ability to exploit this factor whenever it suits him.
Young Tom isn't a "bad" boy, but instead a thoughtful and sensible kid who happens to be a magnet for trouble. The plot of "Tom Sawyer" centers around Tom's knack for finding himself in the midst of many dilemmas which lead to adventure. He has an innate ability to read people and can easily utilize human nature to work to his advantage.
Throughout the pages of "Tom Sawyer" you'll find Tom influencing others to perform his chores while he scurries off to his next adventure. If he's not being persuasive, he has a tendency to be manipulative such as convincing others to give him a favored toy or treat.
Tom also has a keen way of managing to sway others under the guise of fun. There is many a time he convinces other boys to join him on journeys against their better judgment. Tom's quick ability to use reverse psychology to turn the proverbial tables on both his friends and nemesis works like a charm every time - almost.
As Tom finds himself on top of situations, he often finds himself in hot water such as the time he traded all of the trinkets he manipulated from the other kids for tickets earned for memorizing Bible verses. In the end he has more tickets than everyone and wins the award in Sunday School. However when asked specific questions about the Bible he blurts out the wrong answer and embarrasses himself.
Young Sawyer is very charismatic and he woos, and later wins the affection of Becky Thatcher. He accomplishes this by using superb "show-off" techniques that boys this age tend to use when wanting to impress a girl. It works smashingly and the two hit it off. He is later spurned when Becky learns of a former relationship he had with another girl.
After getting in trouble with Aunt Polly for something Sid did, Tom becomes upset
and runs off with his pal Huckleberry Finn. The two boys later witness a murder and this is where the story really begins to take off because the real murderer puts the blame on an innocent man and Tom and Huck are the only ones who have witnessed what really happened.
The murderer is a violent man and Tom and Huck know if they tell on the murderer he will extract revenge, and are too afraid to say anything about it, but they still feel guilty that a man is in jail wrongly accused. Tom has this deeply embedded in his subconscious but on the outside he is quickly back to his antics and fun-loving ways; but the murder weighs heavily on his mind.
To get his mind off of the murder he puts together a band of pirates with his friends Joe Harper and Huck Finn. While out on an "adventure" on the river and an island, it seems somehow everyone in town thinks they've drowned. They use this misunderstanding to their benefit and decide to take off and be "real" pirates. For days they play on an island and then later to everyone's surprise show up at their own funerals. Aunt Polly is justifiably upset, but later forgives Tom when she finds an undelivered note in his pocket which had expressed for her not to worry.
Eventually the trial begins for the murder and the murderer has not confessed but instead continues the charade that someone else committed it. Tom and Huck become more than a bit nervous and swear to keep mum about what they saw. Tom later is struck by conscience and tells the court what he saw; the murderer escapes and now Tom has to fear revenge.
The rest of the book continues with many various adventures, but all the while the escaped murdered weighs heavily on Tom's mind. All of the preceding events lead to culminating adventures which include another attempted murder, a cave, missing persons and buried treasure.
Twain has an incredible ability to weave Tom's personal and leadership attributes into a story which makes it appealing to both children and adults. Once you pick this book up you'll be compelled to read it all the way through.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer centres on the exploits of Tom Sawyer - a mischievous little boy who is endearing all the same. Set in the 1840's American mide-west, the story begins with Aunt Polly searching for her rascal nephew, Tom. The narrative introduces us to Tom and his myriad exploits. His rogue nature is further solidified in comparison with his half-brother, Sid.
Early in the plot, the author uses a vignette to demonstrate the cunning of the main character. Aunt Polly punishes him by making him whitewash the fence. Tom, disinclined to spend time at this arduous task, tricks other boys into painting the fence for him simply by making the activity appear to be loads of fun. So convincing is his act, that he inveigles the other boys to bribe him to paint Aunt Polly's fence.
In the midst of the many exploits of Tom Sawyer is a tale of young love. Becky Thatcher, no relation to Margaret, becomes the object of Tom's affection. After Tom successfully courts Becky, his loose tongue puts a spoke in the wheel of their relationship. Another important character in the plot is Huckleberry Finn, who will later have many adventures of his own.
Tom and Huck inadvertently become witnesses to a murder. In the cemetery, they witness the body-snatching doctor being murdered by one of his two accomplices- Injun Joe. Injun Joe pins the murder on Muff, who was knocked unconscious during the event. When the town learns of the murder, the two boys observe Muff's arrest and confession to murder.
Tom, rejected by Becky and feeling unloved otherwise, decides to pursue a life of crime and his pirate fantasy. After eloping with Huck and a guy named Joe Harper, he soon learns that the townspeople think that the boys are dead after they were missing for a while. Tom witnesses the grief of his Aunt Polly and decides to attend his own funeral, making a dramatic entry.
There is a return to the subplots after this, like an intermission before the show resumes. In one of these sub-plots, Tom rescues his sweetheart from punishment. Becky finally forgives him after this deed. Unexpectedly, Tom is called to testify at Muff's trial and Muff is exonerated. Injun Joe, the murderer, escapes. His shadow seems to hang over Tom from here on. After a while, Tom and Huck encounter Injun Joe while they search for treasure in a haunted house. Injun finds the treasure they were looking for and plots revenge against someone. To his relief, Huck soon discovers that it is the Widow Douglas.
Huck runs for help and other townsfolk chase the men; just failing to catch them. Injun Joe goes into hiding again. In the chaos, Tom and Becky get lost in the caves and are only discovered missing the next day. They face a dwindling food supply. To their collective alarm they discover that Injun Joe is hiding in the caves. Fortunately, he doesn't spot them and they retreat.
In the end, the children are discovered by the goodly townsfolk before they perish. There's no information on Injun Joe while they recover from the ordeal. It turns out that Injun Joe was trapped in the sealed caves and dies. Tom and Huck immediately remember the treasure and retrieve it. Widow Douglas announces her intention to adopt Huckleberry. Huck has his finances invested on his behalf after Tom reveals his new money. The emphasis is now on Huck, as he resents his forced civilization under Widow Douglas. He recaptures his liberty and makes a pact with Tom. There are certainly more adventures ahead, at the conclusion of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer- a precursor to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Rules change on Olympic marijuana testing
Category: News | Posted on Thu, July, 18th 2013 by THCFinder
It's been 15 years since Ross Rebagliati won snowboarding's first Olympic gold medal at the 1998 Winter Games — and then nearly lost that medal after he tested positive for marijuana.
Since then, the drug has become an integral part of Rebagliati's life. Next month Rebagliati will open a medicinal marijuana dispensary in Whistler, British Columbia, called "Ross' Gold." The Canadian has also become a public face for pot-smoking athletes around the globe.
"Anytime somebody gets in trouble for weed I'm the guy the media calls," Rebagliati, who lives outside Whistler, told USA TODAY Sports. "I went on NBC to defend (Michael) Phelps for smoking responsibly. I told them, Hey, it's zero calories, zero fat!'"
Now 42, Rebagliati believes that changing attitudes toward marijuana — it's now legal for medicinal purposes in Canada and 14 U.S. states — justifies the drug's removal from the World Anti-Doping Agency's list of banned substances.
Like cocaine and heroin, cannabis is banned during competition by WADA, which oversees drug testing worldwide in Olympic sports.
WADA recently amended its rules on cannabis, raising the threshold for a positive test from 15 nanograms per milliliter to 150 ng/ml. In 1998 at the Nagano Games, Rebagliati recorded a level of 17.8 ng/ml, and argued the test resulted from second-hand smoke, which he still says. Ben Nichols, a spokesperson for WADA, said the raising of the threshold is meant to catch only athletes who smoke during the period of a competition. The drug isn't prohibited out of competition.

I had a fun little day at the range yesterday! I put about 400 rounds through my HK .45 with not one problem. Even at the end of the day I could pull in nice little groups! I have never been let down by this pistol and it is the hands down most accurate gun I have ever shot. I prefer the .45 simply because I like it recoil and its accuracy. It is also a proven defense round. Everyone has reasons for what they like. In a defense situation any round is better then nothing so I do not discriminate between what people choose to use.
What gun is your #1 most reliable and accurate? What caliber do you choose and why
Ruger KP97DC.
I am the most accurate at distance with my Colt Python .357. At about 40' I start hitting good with my S&W 1911/.45. I have shot the wheel gun all my life, and I just got into the auto's in the last year.

How has the transition been?

Well, to be honest, all of my guns are 100% reliable. I have yet to have an issue w/ any. And, I wouldn't keep them if I did have a problem. But, if something happened, I'd probably grab my P99 or my Glock 34 first.
As for my HK, I have put about 900 rounds thru my USP compact, and I am finally getting consistent w/ it at 7 yards. For a while, I kept shooting low w/ it. I let someone try it yesterday at the range, and they shot low w/ it too. It's taken me several trip to the range w/ it to get it to aim where I want. Not sure why. But, I guess like some people have to practice w/ a Glock, the USP compact takes some people some practice as well.
As for caliber - I do like 45ACP. But, it gets very expensive at the range. So, I've gone to all 9mm. And, I am satisfied with that caliber.
Like Ship, all my guns have been 100% reliable. The only hiccups have been ammo problems. All my guns are 9mm, for now, but it is a toss up between my M&P and my Baby Eagle as to which I am more accurate with. I fall more into the shot placement catagory than into the caliber, so I go with 9mm for price and high capacity. The 45. is really my favorite round to shoot, I really like the recoil of a 45., but it can get really expensive to shoot.
Ive had the Glock 23 for about fifteen years so am use to the .40. I do think I was more accurate with my Ruger Security Six on single action (.38 or .357). I do want to try a .45 1911. I shot one once and enjoyed it. I keep reading that the recoil is better than the .40.
Smith & Wesson Model 29-3. I simply prefer the .44 Rem Mag even though I get funny looks sometimes when I say so. I'm actually more accurate with it than any autoloaders I've used. Weird, huh?

For the pleasure of shooting I prefer my Ruger Old Model Super Blackhawk .44 mag. It is more accurate than any of my semi's and more fun to shoot. It is also more versatile. I can load it with very hot loads or very mild target loads (or anything in between) and it is 100% reliable with all loads.

Hey Gunut: I like shooting both. It took a little while for me to get use to it, as it is a little different feel. Most of my carry guns over the years have been stub noses. During that time I have learned to point shoot more than sight shoot. I have allways sighted with my Python at the range, but I never packed that. I am getting use to hittting what I point at with my 1911/.45. Same thing I tell a new shooter practice,and practice some more.
My Glock 34 and I get along better than any other handgun I own.
For me, it is: The Best Pistol Ever Built!
My most accurate is my Smith & Wesson 686. I'm not very accurate, though. LOL! This is your brain on very little practice, I'm afraid.

Excalibur Cameroon Reviews
Tried one at the store and purchased a box. I've smoked 4 so far and they have not dissapointed. Perfect burn, long white solid ash and smooth flavors of lite nuts and sweet caramel. Smooth medium bodied finish down to the band.
As a long-time Excalibur smoker, I'd expected something exceptional in this long-awaited offering from General Cigar. The Galahad is a handsome-looking cigar, medium-bodied with a smooth, easy draw. There's a pronounced bitterness after the mid-way point, and disagreeable aftertaste. Overall, a rather uninspired (and over-priced) smoke. and
I just got these as part of a sampler pack. Having smoked them in the past, I was in for a treat, or so I thought. I lit one up in the back yard, and after about 25 minutes of trying to get a good draw on it, I gave up and chucked it in the fire pit. I still have 4 more to go in the pack, so maybe this was just an anomaly I will try the rest and rate again, but for now, I am disappointed.
enough said
i dont think im qualified to determine the perfect cigar, but with my limited experience this would be it. these are fantastic. i will be buying more.
Ordered a five pack and they aged for about 3 months. I pulled one out to smoke while I played poker with the guys the other night, and man was I blown away! I had read review in other places that made this cigar out to be "not for the faint of heart." It was the opposite, this cigar is for everyone! Smooth, tasty, great construction, amazing burn/ draw. Burned perfectly even the whole way through, and no re-lights! I bought these to share, now nobody is laying a hand on my Excalibur 1066's!
The Excalibur 1066 is nice change of pace from the standard Excalibur. Just as smooth, but with a nice medium-to-full spicy and peppery flavor. A great choice when you want something with good flavor, but not a big powerful maduro.
These definitely need some aging time. The first stick I tried had a crazy amount of bitterness to it. After 3 weeks in the humi though, these are amazing. The are mild, with a huge amount of sweetness that builds throughout the pallet. I caught some vanilla in there, and some cedar toward the end of it. All in all, very pleasant.
I've been looking for a reasonable priced ($2-$4) cigar that's not too strong but not a hard draw either. The Excalibur 1066 is perfect! Flavorful, easy on the mouth/throat and a very even burn. Can't recommend enough!
I recently ordered a 5 pack of these excellent smokes and the day I smoked the last one I ordered a full box. Each of the 5 I smoked burned razor straight, filled my mouth with tons of smoke and tasted exquisite. At 3 bucks a stick (when ording a box) you can't beat this cigar for an "every day" or "go to" cigar. Highly recommend!
Nice enough looking cigar, but little or no taste. This came as a single from a shop with a big humi room, so I don't think condition is an issue.
A friend gave me a box of these as a present. (He did not get them from Famous the boob!) I tried one out of the box and it was very bitter and had no draw. I left them in the humidor for a month and tried one again. No change. It had an easier draw, but the flavor was even worse than I had remembered. I smoke quite a few cigars and enjoy the original Excalibur; however I am disappointed in the 1066.

Hunger Games Is Again One of the Most Challenged Books in Libraries
Categories: Books
Just ask J.K. Rowling.
The Harry Potter series was the number one most-challenged book in 2001 and 2002; it dipped to second place in 2003. By 2004 it was completely off the list, and it has yet to reappear. Has Harry Potter -- which was challenged most often on the grounds of being anti-family, satanic, and offering a non-mainstream religious viewpoint" become any less objectionable in the intervening years? No, but then it was never objectionable; there was such a mania for all things Harry Potter in the early oughts that any group wanting a publicity bump could announce a protest or file a challenge and the media would come running. But now? Not so much.
Give it another few years and Collins' trilogy will most likely go the way of Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass (number 4 in 2007, same year its film adaptation was released, then off the list) and Stephanie Meyers' Twilight series, which was number 5 in 2009 and number 10 in 2010 and hasn't made the list since then.
Incidentally, I just started Jonathan Riley-Smith's The Crusades: A History, and man is that a book rife with anti-family and anti-ethnic activities, discussions of non-Christian religions and violence. You should expect to see it on the 2014 most-challenged list, but only if Zac Efron or Cam Gigandet stars as King Baldwin in the film version next year.

Las Vegas – the year-round gala of glitz – is a tough place to get noticed.
But attention is what retailing is all about, and the project team for the Carolina Herrera boutique in the newly developed City Center retail development was tasked to deliver it. However, after exploring a wide range of high-resolution, large-format video display options, the project team decided that these approaches were tired and would not ignite the requisite visual interest for the brand.
The solution was projecting video directly onto the boutique's upper-story windows. This approach provides a large-scale moving image projected from window to window with cinematic resolution. Displaying video content culled from Herrera runway shows, models appear to walk across a stage behind the window glass. The horizontal aspect ratio is a suitable frame, with the window mullions flowing naturally across the image as if viewers were seeing a larger-than-life fashion show.
To project the video onto the windows from the boutique's interior, design consultant Essential Communications selected a relatively new material, 3M's Vikuiti projection film product, and made it a viable solution for large-scale projection onto 1,000 square feet of unused window space. Essential Communications researched and tested the Vikuiti material and then applied it to the windows. By splitting the image into three parts and "reassembling" it on the projection surface, the overall scale was achieved as well.
The 1920 x 1080 resolution video is rear-projected by three edge-blended Barco 12,000-lumen projectors to create a seamless image across window panes with the Vikuiti material. The projectors are hidden in the unoccupied second-story space above the boutique ceiling, leaving no trace of the technology inside the store. An Electrosonic digital content storage/player distributes the continuously looped content to the projectors, and the entire setup is controlled via Crestron hardware.
This approach created a seamless integration of the AV display and the architectural elements of the clean, Modernist facade of the City Center building. Previously existing video display options would not have conformed to the development's architectural design requirements, nor would the client have achieved its dream of projecting its designs onto the exterior of the jewel box boutique.
The end-result is 1,000 square feet of the most understated opulence to hit the Vegas strip. The smooth motion of cinema-like visual content has an effect quite different from the blaring images of the familiar large-scale LEDs advertising Las Vegas' buffets and shopping attractions.

REDDING, Calif. (AP) -- A Shasta County woman has been convicted of abuse charges after prosecutors say she brutally beat her boyfriend's 7-year-old son to get revenge on the child's mother.
The Record Searchlight reports that jurors on Wednesday acquitted Rachel Limon, 30, of attempted murder and attempted manslaughter, but found her guilty of torture, mayhem and child abuse.
Prosecutors say Limon nearly killed the boy after repeatedly punching him for a week in December 2009. They say she and the child's mother, Melissa Radford, had ongoing tensions.
Limon initially claimed the boy's injuries came from an ATV accident or at the hands of Radford. Deputies said she later admitted punching the boy.
She faces a maximum two life terms in prison when she's sentenced on May 29.
The child is in the process of being adopted.
