Pants are perfect I ordered these pajamas on sale. The pants fit me perfectly (size 22). The top is too small. No problem, I really just wanted the pants anyway. April 11, 2013
Not sized for the human body. What a disappointment! The top was too small and the pants were about three sizes too big and long. I can sew and will try to do a major alteration. December 17, 2012
Great PJS! They are so soft, comfortable and the colors are so pretty. makes for a terrific gift! December 13, 2012
Material is wonderful, just what I wanted. I'm sorry I am having to return my pjs for a second time. The first order, they did not fit, way too small for me. The second order did not fit, still to small. I think manufactures today do not make things to fit the American sizes. Too bad. Thank you for your service and attention to this matter. I will still continue to shop with you. Love your products. Junnetta Woodworth. December 6, 2012
Great sleeping The pajamas are silky and comfortable and promote a good night's rest. September 11, 2012

Read: The Big Role That Brady Skjei Could End Up With For Team USA
In The Hockey News, 12/31/12 issue, they preview Team USA for the World Junior Championships and suggest that coach Phil Housley look to reunite the pair of potential first overall pick Seth Jones and Rangers 2012 first round pick Brady Skjei.
Skjei and Jones played together for the US National Program last season and while Skjei will be fighting for a spot on the team, THN writes "if fast chemistry has any value for the US braintrust, that pairing would make a lot of sense."
At The United States of Hockey, when breaking down defensemen, Chris Peters writes of Skjei, "Skjei is a very strong defense-first kind of defenseman with elite speed and skating to help him contribute offensively on occasion. "

The Identity Theft Assistance Corporation is a nonprofit dedicated to working with industry, law enforcement and government to help consumers prevent, detect and recover from identity theft. Founded in 2004, our mission was to put consumers and their experiences first in the fight against identity fraud.
Our consumer-centric approach began with creating an assistance center to deliver personal one-on-one help to identity theft victims. Between 2004 and 2014, more than 150,000 consumers used our free service, ITAC Victim Assistance, which set the standard for victim recovery services.
We have a proud history of innovation in furthering our consumer-centric mission. Created and funded by a group of large financial services companies who believed that fighting identity fraud was an opportunity for cooperation and not competition, we were the first industry-owned "utility" focused on identity theft. We were also the first consortium to share identity fraud information directly with law enforcement and the Federal Trade Commission.
Consumer education has always been a key element of our mission. Over the years, thousands of consumers have benefited from our online materials and community outreach.
Having achieved our mission, we are transitioning from operations to funding the next generation of leaders in identity theft prevention, detection and recovery.

It's worth pointing out right at the start that this wouldn't be a particularly good choice of calendar if you actually want to keep track of the year. The calendar is large (A2 size) but the days of the month occupy only a 1cm-high section of each page - and the day names aren't even included, just their numbers.
Robin J Wilson's book is "not", as he assures the reader in the Preface, "a history of mathematics book in the conventional sense of the word". No indeed. It is, rather, a selective account of aspects of the history of mathematics which have appeared on postage stamps from across the world.
Money is peculiar stuff. It has no use of any kind apart from its value in exchange for something else, and this grows over time as it earns interest, or shrinks as inflation overtakes it. If you have money to invest, there are a bewildering array of different kinds of financial instrument available: interest-bearing accounts, bonds, pension funds, stocks and shares, options ...
Avid readers of popular books on the laws of nature are tolerably familiar with a number of facts. They know that electricity, magnetism and the weak force between elementary particles have been unified, that Einstein's theory of special relativity arose from an attempt to reconcile Newtonian mechanics with the laws of electromagmetism, and that his later theory of general relativity had something to do with the structure of spacetime.
The author says in the introduction that "this book is intended as a polemic", and a polemic it certainly is. Whether or not you like the book will therefore depend not only on whether you agree with his thesis, but also on whether or not you like polemic.
The golden section (or golden ratio), famously, was used in antiquity, when the ancient Greeks built temples the proportions of whose parts - by accident or design - are often supposed to have fallen in the golden ratio.

The upcoming 2012 Presidential Election is likely to be more closely followed on mobile devices than any other in U.S. history. Voters will be keeping up with the election on their smartphones with polls and political news, as well as on social media.
But how, exactly, will smartphones figure into this election and, ultimately, who will smartphone owners be voting for?
Mashable reported on a new study from ad network Mojiva, which surveyed smartphone owners 18 and up to get answers to some of those questions.
According to Mojiva, people who use smartphones are more likely to vote for Obama on November 6. 47% of those polled said they identify themselves as Democrats, while only 28% identified themselves as Republicans.
Either way, 82% of respondents said they are planning to vote – a very high rate compared to the actual voter turnout for the past two elections which were below 60%.
In the lead-up to voting day, more Democrats than Republicans will be reading political news on their smartphones (63% vs. 59%), but more Republicans than Democrats will be researching the candidates (53% vs. 50%).
Come election day, over half of respondents said that they would be using an iPhone or an Android-powered smartphone to check results throughout the day.
But many of the respondents said they would use their phone to do even more if they could. When asked if they would use their smartphone to vote if they had the option to, 59% said they would, while a whopping 85% said they would at least consider doing so.
What about you? Do you plan on using your smartphone to follow the elections? If so, how? Let us know in the comments section.

New York Democratic Representative José Serrano is proposing a constitutional amendment to end presidential term limits once again after 15 years of attempts to pass the measure, which would repeal the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution.
House Joint Resolution 15 reads:
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled (two-thirds of each House concurring therein), That the following article is proposed as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years after the date of its submission for ratification: The twenty-second article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.
As noted by Fox News, Serrano has very little chance of being successful in his endeavor: "The 12-term congressman likely faces long odds, as before, considering the resolution has no sponsors, never got a vote last year in the Republican-controlled House, needs two-thirds support in both chambers and ratification from roughly 75 percent of state legislatures."
But that has not stopped advocates of the amendment from pushing forward. Supporters claim that the Constitution inhibits the American people from reelecting its most successful leaders.
America's first president, George Washington, set a precedent of serving just two terms in office that all presidents who came after him followed, with just one exception: Franklin D. Roosevelt. Roosevelt served three full terms in office and died during his fourth term at the age of 83. Immediately following the end of WWII, Congress passed the 22nd Amendment, which was ratified by the necessary number of states in 1951.
Constitutional Scholar Bruce Peabody elaborates:

BAD CHECK - DEKALB JUNCTION St. Lawrence County Sheriffs Department deputies on Monday charged Kenneth R. Thomson, 52, of 88 Old State Road, with issuing a bad check.
Deputies said he wrote a $300 check to the DeKalb Junction Volunteer Fire Department in October to pay for use of the firehouse for a wedding from an account that did not have sufficient funds to cover the amount.
The fire department contacted deputies and turned the matter over to them after attempting to reach Mr. Thomson for nonpayment.
He was issued an appearance ticket for DeKalb Town Court.

We're sure you know how important proper tire pressure is to your car's safety, fuel economy, handling and tire life. You've probably also found out that cheaper tire pressure gauges (and the built-in gauges on gas station air hoses) can be inaccurate. Now, reading your tire pressure is as simple as pushing a button...the QuikChek tire pressure gauge installs directly onto your valve stems, with a positive seal and a silicone dust skirt to keep out mud and dust. Green, orange or red color bars give you a dependable reading, on any tires with 20-44 psi of pressure. Simple and ingenious, QuikChek is a great, easy way to keep tabs on your tire pressure! Covered by a one-year warranty.

CANTON A Madrid man facing charges related to the alleged theft of railway-related metals may avoid trial through a plea agreement.
Alex J. Amyot, 37, agreed to a plea bargain after his attorney, Denise Smith, and St. Lawrence County Assistant District Attorney Joshua A. HaberkornHalm held multiple conferences with St. Lawrence County Judge Jerome J. Richards on Tuesday in St. Lawrence County Court.
Mr. Amyot pleaded not guilty on March 18 to grand larceny charges alleging that he stole more than $3,000 worth of metal railway-related items belonging to Thomas Fiacco in August in the town of Potsdam.
Jury selection in a trial against Mr. Amyot is scheduled to begin on Monday; however, Judge Richards said attorneys have until Friday to reach an agreed-upon restitution figure that will allow the plea bargain to be complete.
If that plea bargain is reached, Mr. Amyot would be sentenced to 1� to 3 years in state prison for fourth-degree grand larceny, a class E felony, as a second felony offender. He also would be ordered to pay the agreed-upon restitution and $375 in court fines, fees and surcharges.
Mr. Amyot had to be extradited from Florida to face the charges in March and was returned to St. Lawrence County jail awaiting continued court proceedings.
In other court action Tuesday:
Timothy A. Hollenbeck, 49, formerly of Massena, was sentenced to three years of probation supervision after a dismissal of a Sept. 20, 2011, guilty plea to reckless endangerment.
Mr. Hollenbecks sentencing by Judge Richards came at the conclusion of a sentencing of one year of interim probation supervision. He was charged with fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
Mr. Hollenbeck was jailed in June of 2011 after he fired three rounds from a shotgun during a dispute at his then 30 Cornell Ave., Apt. 4, home with Brent W. Pelkey, then 21, James C. Rust Jr., then 28, and William M. Servin, then 29.
The dispute spilled out into the street, where Mr. Hollenbeck fired two shots and struck Mr. Pelkey a couple of times with the butt end of the gun and the weapon discharged a third time.
Judge Richards did not award Mr. Hollenbeck credit for successfully completing one year because he failed to comply with the terms and conditions of his interim probation, including testing positive for THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, after being tested by St. Lawrence County Probation officials prior to sentencing Tuesday.
When asked about his positive drug test, Mr. Hollenbeck said he preferred to remain silent on the subject.
Judge Richards said that wasnt an option.
This man is dangerous when he is not on his medication, Judge Richards said of Mr. Hollenbeck, who said he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. If you want the benefit of the bargain, you are going to admit that you relapsed. Im trying to help you. If you dont admit the problem, you cant treat the problem.
Mr. Hollenbeck told the judge that he had smoked with two friends and Judge Richards told him they werent friends and he needs to stay away from anyone who would put him such a position.
Mr. Hollenbecks probation was transferred to Steuben County, where he is currently residing, and he was ordered to pay $250 in court fines, fees and surcharges.
Susan M. Westurn, 53, of Brushton, had her sentencing adjourned until Aug. 18 pending the successful completion of one year of interim probation.
Ms. Westurn was placed on interim probation by Judge Richards after pleading guilty to charges of fourth-degree grand larceny after she and her son, Samuel F. Westurn, 35, of 183 County Route 32, Moira, stole items, including clothing, from J.C. Penney Co. at St. Lawrence Centre, Massena, and computers from the Massena Walmart. Fourth-degree grand larceny is charged when the stolen items total worth exceeds $1,000.
Mr. Westurn was sentenced to an indeterminate sentence of a minimum of 15 months or a maximum of 45 months in state prison on Aug. 19.
Norman C. Butler, 19, Star Lake pleaded guilty to third-degree burglary, a class D felony.
On April 21, in the town Clifton, Mr. Butler broke into the home of Chris Aldrich. Mr. Butler confessed to Judge Richards that it was around dawn when he entered through an open window at Mr. Aldrichs home and stole two BB Guns and a can of soda.
Mr. Butler was released under probation supervision and sentencing was adjourned to Oct. 21.

Each customer traveling across any international boundary is solely responsible for obtaining all necessary travel documents, including any required visas, and for complying with the laws of each country flown from (the departure country), through (any transit country) and into (the destination country) as stated in Rule 19 of the Contract of Carriage. Please also note that security regulations may require us to provide government agencies access to certain personal data disclosed to us, and we may do so as outlined in Rule 30 of the Contract of Carriage.
Certain countries, including the United States, have travel document requirements for departure. Please note these requirements may be different from travel document requirements for entry into the destination country and for transit through a country.
U.S. law requires all customers, regardless of citizenship, age or destination, to hold a secure document to depart the United States by air (one-way or roundtrip itinerary). A secure document is a passport, U.S. permanent resident card, or Stateless travel document, Re-Entry Permit, NEXUS card, U.S Merchant Mariner Card, military ID or emergency travel document issued by an embaRefugeessy or consulate. U.S. passport cards are not valid for air travel outside the United States.
The following pictorial guide on travel document requirements for departure from the United States by air is published by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Bureau of Customs and Border Protection:
Customers are reminded that the passport, visa and health requirements page does not include any travel document requirements for departure, which may be different.
All non-U.S. citizens planning to travel to the U.S. should visit travel.state.gov for additional information.
All destination countries, including the United States, have travel document requirements for entry. In addition to any travel document requirements for departure, customers must satisfy travel document requirements for entry into the destination country and, depending on the itinerary, for transit through a country. Note that some countries require passports to be valid for at least six months.
Passport, visa and health requirements for entry into destination countries and for transit through a country are provided by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) on united.com as a courtesy and must be verified before travel. VisaCentral can provide assistance with obtaining the necessary travel documents. United customers receive preferred rates and earn MileagePlus award miles on these services.
For entry into the United States, additional information may be found on the U.S. Customs and Border Protection website.
Customers seeking entry into the United States under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) can review additional information on the U.S. Department of State website.
In addition, all VWP travelers are required to obtain an authorization via ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) before traveling to the U.S. Travelers who do not obtain ESTA authorization prior to travel may be denied aircraft boarding. Travelers applying for ESTA will be subject to an ESTA application fee. Apply and learn more on the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Customs and Border Protection (CBP) website.
The Office of Biometric Identity Management (OBIM) collects, stores and analyzes biometric data for the DHS. OBIM procedures currently apply to all international visitors entering the United States, including VWP participants. Find additional information on the DHS website. (Note: Prior to March 2013, the CBP collected biometric data through the United States Visitor and Immigration Status Indicator Technology (US-VISIT) program.)
The I-94 form, applies to all non-U.S. citizens arriving in the U.S., except for the following travelers:
CBP has automated the Form I-94 Arrival/Departure Record to streamline the U.S. arrival process for international visitors. Effective May 21, 2013, travelers no longer need to complete the paper I-94 form.
The CBP will scan a traveler's passport, which generates an electronic arrival record with data previously required on the paper I-94 form. Travelers will not need to do anything differently upon exiting the U.S. The departure will be recorded electronically with information provided by the carrier or CBP.
Learn more at www.cbp.gov/I94.
Important note on flights via the U.S.
U.S. regulations always require travelers to comply with customs and immigration procedures at their first point of entry into the U.S. Travelers will need to have all required documents with them upon arrival — even if the U.S. is not their final destination. If travelers have more than one U.S. stopover, they will not need to clear customs again.
U.S. law requires airlines operating international flights to or from the United States to provide travel document data for all customers via APIS. The United States also requires reporting the visiting address of all customers who are non-U.S. citizens and non-U.S. residents traveling to the United States.
Passports must be in good condition. United may not accept passengers for international travel and may deny boarding if a passport is damaged beyond normal wear and tear and/or there is evidence of intentional or material alterations or mutilations. Examples of conditions of passports that may result in denied boarding include passports with significant tears, holes or stains, as well as any changes, obliterations or alterations, or any other damage that affects the integrity of the passport and/or the identification of the holder, such as the name, date of birth, citizenship and document number. For example, a passport with faded data, missing or severely torn, cut or chewed pages or cover, missing picture, picture which can be removed from under the laminate or one which requires tape or staples to hold it together, or which has been substantially damaged by liquids, chemicals or fire, may result in denied boarding. To ensure your travel plans are not interrupted, please make sure your passport is in good condition before you leave. For more information about U.S. passports, please visit the U.S. Department of State website.

Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB)

- How to Read a Study Record
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) occurs in 2% to 4% of the non-disabled adult population and is characterized by periods of complete breathing cessation (apnea) or marked reductions in airflow (hypopnea) during sleep. By contrast, the diagnosis of SDB affects as many as 83% of persons with tetraplegia within one year of their injury. While some consider daytime somnolescence from poor sleep quality a 'tolerable annoyance', SDB can decrease near-term physical performance and mental alertness, decay memory and intellectual processing, invoke mood disturbances, decrease healthrelated quality of life(HRQoL), and cause vehicular or occupational injury. Recurrent sleep arousal is now strongly associated with cardiometabolic (CM) component risks including insulin resistance, obesity, inflammatory stress, and endothelial dysfunction. Despite considerable advancements in understanding and treating SDB - including favored use of positive airway pressure (PAP) - an evidence base sufficient to warrant routine evaluation and treatment of SDB and related sleep disorders remains elusive for those with spinal cord injury (SCI). To address these knowledge and treatment shortcomings the investigators will conduct a hypothesis-driven study with specific aims that will: 1) describe by stakeholder survey the clinically-relevant determinants of sleep quality in persons with chronic tetraplegia, 2) assess clinical features and co-morbid risks associated with SDB in persons with tetraplegia, and 3) determine in persons with tetraplegia having SDB whether treatment using PAP reduces health risks and improves HRQoL. Hypothesis 1 will be tested using data derived from a website survey.
Sleep Disordered Breathing
Procedure: PAP Device Procedure
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Case-Only
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) in Persons With Chronic Tetraplegia: Characterization and Treatment
- To produce an evidence base for customary evaluation and treatment of SDB that will foster changes in medical practice patterns, while bringing attention to both SCI and their health providers of both apparent and obscure hazards of SDB. [ Time Frame: 4 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Biospecimen Retention: Samples Without DNA
Insulin Sensitivity (SI) and Lipid/Inflammation panels: (30 minutes, Taken at Baseline, 1 month, and 3 month time points) SI will be calculated using the Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index (QUICKI) method177 that requires single fasting blood glucose and insulin values. The same blood sample will be used to assay for a lipid panel containing total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides and an inflammatory panel testing hs-CRP and IL-6.
|Study Start Date:
|October 2010
|Study Completion Date:
|October 2013
|Primary Completion Date:
|October 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
|chronic tetraplegia
Procedure: PAP Device Procedure
Following titration, subjects will be issued a PAP machine programmed at this optimum pressure and instructed to use the device nightly for the ensuing three months. Compliance checks will be conducted at months 1 and 3 by having the subjects present the PAP "Smartcard" for download and interpretation.
Daily compliance will be reported as the total number of hours of PAP use per 24 hour period. Patients who use PAP > 4 hours/ night for more than 50% of the nights at one month and 3 month follow-up will be classified as 'compliant' with PAP. Non-compliance will be addressed by a clinical problem-solving approach normally utilized by sleep laboratory personnel in the UM PAP clinic.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 65 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
|Sampling Method:
|Probability Sample
Persons with Chronic Spinal Cord Injury who are asymptomatic for acute treable illness.

- The investigators will consecutively enroll 75 persons with chronic tetraplegia aged 18 years and older with SCI at the C5-C8 levels for more than one year.
- The International Standards for Neurological Classification of SCI (ASIA/ISCoS)157 will serve as benchmarks for subject classification.
- A rater experienced in these procedures will classify study subjects.
- Persons from all ethnic and racial groups will be enrolled.
The investigators will seek a gender distribution in proportion to population representation of persons with SCI (~80% male,
~20% female).
- After being provided with the study privacy practices, and HIPAA certification indicating available protections, participant candidates will undergo informed consent procedures approved by the Human Subjects Committee (IRB) at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine (UM-MSOM).
- The investigators will consecutively enroll the first 25 persons from testing under Specific Aim 2 who satisfy criteria for diagnosis of SDB and consent to undergo additional study.
Exclusion Criteria:
Subject candidates will be excluded for:
- previous diagnosis of SDB with active use of PAP,
- inability to read and comprehend English at a grade 5 level,
- requirement for day or night time non-invasive/invasive mechanical ventilation due to chronic respiratory failure,
- terminal illness in which life expectancy is less than one year,
- pregnancy,
- malignancy,
- surgery within 6 months,
- grade 2 or higher pressure ulcer within 3 months,
- recurrent acute infection or illness requiring hospitalization or IV antibiotics, and
- previous MI or cardiac surgery. The following medications and drug therapies will disqualify subjects from participating due to influences on lipids/lipoproteins, glucose/insulin, and inflammatory markers:
- lipid altering agents,
- β-adrenergic antagonists,
- maintenance α-blockers,
- insulin-sensitizers, and
- maintenance aspirin and
- non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

CAROLINA 7 ISLANDERS 2Burn the tape, destruct the live chat
"Our play away from the puck was horrendous," said Scott Gordon, and he could have been talking about his forwards, defensemen and goaltender. A total team disaster, an organizational embarassment, leads to the Islanders' fifth loss in a row in regulation. "We're leaving too many things to chance," said the coach, who was upset about his team's failure to backcheck and the lesson he thought they were taught in Philadelphia. Gordon is done talking about it with his players. The next solution? "We'll address it by playing time." Let's see if he backs up his words Thursday in Ottawa. The bad news: you really do not want to review this Live Chat. The good news: the Islanders' extraordinary fanbase lives. Readership was in the thousands. I could not keep up. Thank you, and thanks also to Sean Leahy of Puck Daddy.

Feb. 3 marked the historic 71st anniversary of the sinking of the U.S. Army Transport Dorchester, as well as the legendary acts of selflessness of four Army chaplains who were aboard. The Dorchester was torpedoed by a German U-boat while crossing the icy North Atlantic, and the four chaplains, Rev. George Fox (Methodist), Jewish Rabbi Alexander Goode, Clark Poling (Dutch Reformed) and Father John Washington (Roman Catholic), comforted the wounded, directed others to safety, and surrendered their life jackets to save four young men. As the Dorchester sank, the chaplains were seen linked arm in arm, praying.
American Legion Post 459 in Grand Rapids, Mich., has honored the diversity and the heroism of the four chaplains for the past 10 years by hosting an annual service in their honor. The post's recent two-hour Four Chaplains Day service was held at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum in Grand Rapids whereLegion Family members and the community attended free of charge.
"We have great love for the four chaplains, and we feel it's our obligation to uphold their legacy," said Harriet Sturim, Post 459's Auxiliary chaplain and the Fifth District Auxiliary chaplain. "The service is not only a place to retell the story, but a place to move ahead and learn from these four men, their sacrifices and mutual respect despite their religious differences."
Post 459's Four Chaplains Day service featured four chairs that were draped with life jackets, photos of the chaplains and liturgical garments and Bibles. Retired Army Col. Herman Keiser told the story of the four chaplains; Sturim gave a speech about unity and diversity; patriotic music was performed by Grand Rapids & District Pipe Band; a local honor guard conducted the three-volley salute and the folding of the American flag; and a representative from Heroes to Heroes Foundation (a non-profit organization that provides support to veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress) was the keynote speaker.
"With our keynote speakers, we try to be informative with things that are happening for our servicemembers and for the Legion," Sturim said. "We feel the four chaplains would want us to convey the message of helping our veterans, convey the message of diversity and welcoming people in their lives.
"I always like to say that in 1943, the chaplains didn't know what the word diversity was. It wasn't really invented, but they invented it."
Refreshments were served and time was given for attendees to quietly or verbally pay their respects. "The service becomes a very emotional experience when people pay homage to the chaplains," Sturim said.
Preparations for the service began eight months in advance in an effort to identify speakers, send out invitations and promote the event through flyers and social media. Personal invitations were mailed to the speakers and the department commander and president; an event flyer and letter was mailed to every Michigan post; local news channels were informed of the event; flyers were disbursed throughout the local community; and promotional material was posted on Post 459's Four Chaplains Facebook page. Sturim said she asks new Legion Family members every year to be involved with the service because "the more people we involve, the more people will take the legacy of the four chaplains back with them to their post," she said. "People always say they want to do this (host a Four Chaplains Day service) at their post, and I tell them to jump in and do it, and it will grow."
Sgt David G. Ledgerwood American Legion Post 255 Deltona, Florida is doing the Four Chaplain ceremony tomorrow night 7 February 2014 at 6:30 PM at the Deltona Lakes Baptist Church, Deltona, Florida. One of our Guest Speaker is a Dr. Fred Lowery a Commissioner for the City of Deltona with numerous amounts of visitors from other Posts and the community.
USAT Dorchester torpedoed Feb. 3, 1943 about 100 miles off Cape
Farewell, Greenland by U 223, Karl Jurg Wachter commanding. My grandfather, Capt. Louis E. Rayner was Chief Mate on that ship.
Father John Washington, one of the four chaplains, was assigned to St. Stephen's RC Church in the Arlington section of Kearny, NJ when he enlisted in the US Army. St Stephen's church is right around the corner from my home and every year they perform a wonderful service honoring the chaplains. The street on the south side of the church is named for Father Washington and contains the Dorchester's name and date of her sinking. A couple of years ago the church dedicated a large sculpture honoring the four chaplains on the most prominent part of their property.
Let us never forget our brothers and sisters who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the freedom of others. There are so many I miss.
I am thankful for the DOD provide the Chaplains in the military and provide spiritaul guidance during the military worldwide and bring God to our units.

Are you looking for a thrilling way to contribute to your community in your spare time? Serving as a volunteer firefighter can be a rewarding, fulfilling way to serve your community. You can serve in a band of comrades, help keep the community safe and even save lives.
However, being a volunteer firefighter is a really big commitment. It will require training, stamina and long nights on call. If you are thinking about becoming a volunteer firefighter, here are some things to think about.
Are you of age?
Fire departments have a minimum age requirement to serve with them. This will vary depending on which department you want to work with, but generally you have to be a legal adult, which means over 21 years old. Some departments may require you to be even older. However, some departments have a "junior firefighter" program, where you can ride along in the fire truck and observe.
Are you in good physical condition?
Volunteer fire departments have tough physical condition requirements. You will have to pass a series of tests that will look at strength and stamina. The job also requires you to be physically fit, able to lift heavy things, climb a latter and move quickly.
How much free time do you have?
Since this is a volunteer position, there won't be any payment. However, you may be able to get a tax refund or reimbursement for expenses on the job. There is also a minimum hourly requirement, sometimes upwards of twenty hours per week or more, but this will depend on a number of factors, such as your area, the number of volunteers and the rules of the department.
Can I become a career firefighter after volunteering?
Actually, if you are looking to build a career as a firefighter, then volunteering is a great place to start. You can work toward passing all of the tests, get training on the job, and rack up some experience. You'll also be able to build contacts within the firefighting community who will be able to inform you if there is a full-time staff position.
Becoming a Volunteer Firefighter: The Next Steps
If you feel that volunteering as a firefighter is right for you, then your first step is to contact your local fire department. Since each department is different, you will need to directly ask about the rules and requirements for volunteers.
The next step is to get in shape. Learn about the requirements for your fitness test and train accordingly. Go on regular runs, do strength exercises, or even work with a personal trainer to make sure you reach the objectives. You may also have to work to shed a few extra pounds if you're over the weight limit.
Once you have scheduled and passed your fitness test, you will need to begin your training. All volunteer firefighters have to complete 110 hours of NFPA certification. You may also need additional training, depending on your department. Some volunteer firefighters also opt to get EMT certification along with their NFPA certification, so that they can assist in a medical emergency. When you have finished your training and passed your exams, you can get fitted for gear, get your personal radio, and get ready to start saving lives!

The board for frustrated newbies would be this one. The biggest thing to remember when learning Linux is patience. I know a lot of people who have given up after a few days of things not working like they're used to....it's just a matter of learning the ropes. Just learn a few tips and tricks and you'll be able to set up a system in no time flat.
Root booting directly to YaST doesn't surprise me. In Windows, logging in as the Administrator is allowed and usually what's done. Linux has a bit of a tighter security policy in that logging in as root from the initial login screen is supposed to be ONLY for system maintenance. Normal usage should be done under a user account. Whenever you need administrator access to files, you can use the "su" command in a terminal to become root user ("exit" will drop you back down to the user account you came from). Alternatively, if you have "sudo" installed, you can add your username and relevant parameters to /etc/sudoers, and then use sudo to mimick root user. Just use "sudo <commandname> <flags>".
So if this gives you a no-permission error:
You can use this insteadCode:vim /var/log/messages
And that will run that command as root (btw, "Esc" followed by ":q" will exit vim if you try this and find you can't get out ).Code:sudo vim /var/log/messages
Anyway I run all my boxes with my username in the /etc/sudoers file with the NOPASSWD option so I never have to type in a password. Works pretty seamlessly, and I never have to log in as root. In fact, there are distributions out there that don't have a root account at all and rely completely on sudo in order to get root stuff done.
So the point of this little foray into Linux philosophy has been to say that logging in as root should be used for system maintenance only (ie, when things break horribly) and is generally discouraged. I'm thinking that SUSE sends you to YaST by default since YaST is SUSE's system config tool. You should be logging in as a user and then performing administrative actions by either typing "su" in a terminal or setting up your /etc/sudoers file so you can use "sudo" instead.

How did you setup your printer? If you used CUPS, there's some extra stuff you have to do to get it working with Samba.
I have a HP 500 Deskjet printer connected to my linux box, and I have Samba running. *I can see the printer on my windows machine, I have the printer added and installed the drivers on my windows machine. *Great right? Wrong, it won't print anything! *The Windows Print Status says the job is going through, lpq shows nothing and the printer never prints anything.
The printer works fine when I do lptest locally. *Is there something I missed in the setup??
How did you setup your printer? If you used CUPS, there's some extra stuff you have to do to get it working with Samba.
I setup the printer using lpd. Would switching to cups maybe be easier? Here is what I have in my smb.conf for my printer.
printing = bsd
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/lpd/hp500
browseable = no
printable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
create mode = 0700
path = /var/spool/lpd/hp500
printer name = hp500
writeable = yes
public = yes
printable = yes
print command = lpr -Php500
create mode = 0700
use client driver = yes
here is my smb.conf file - it works quite well. i also use lpd
Code:#======================= Global Settings ===================================== [global] workgroup = HARRIS server string = Samba Server printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes printing = lprng log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 0 security = user encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 #============================ Share Definitions ============================== [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes valid users = %S create mode = 0664 directory mode = 0775 [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = no writable = no printable = yes # This one is useful for people to share files [tmp] comment = Temporary file space path = /tmp read only = no public = yes [mp3s] path = /mp3s guest ok = Yes read only = Yes
The only thing that looks different between the files, is the printing line. What options do I have for 'printing = ' ?
i know i used to have BSD for the printing line - does the samba log show anything?
Nope /var/log/log.smbd shows no errors.
I'm starting to wonder if maybe switching to cups would solve my problem. Any opinons on this?
what does smbclient -U root -L $HOSTNAME give - it should return all available resources - you may also want to try testparm.
I've decided to ditch lpd and I switched over to using cups. In doing so, I now have more questions. ;D
First, incase I haven't said it yet, I am using an HP DeskJet 500. The only way I can get cups to print readable text is by using the 'Raw' driver, however when I print a testpage I have the stairstep printing effect. I've been told to use apsfilter, but I don't quiet understand how that works.
My second problem is, I now can't see the printer on my Windows machine using Samba. Samba is running, I can view my /home directory(the only directory I have setup in Samba) with no problem. Here is my smb.conf file:
Code:[global] WORKGROUP = House encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /usr/local/private/smbpasswd ; Mangle case = yes seems to give the correct filenames ; for Win95/98/NT. mangle case = yes ; If samba is case sensitive when looking for files case sensitive = no ; Default case of files that are created default case = lower ; Preserve case for all filenames preserve case = yes ; Preserve case for dos (8.3) filenames short preserve case = no printing = cups printcap name = cups load printers = yes guest account = guest log file = /usr/local/samba/log.%m [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no read only = no create mode = 0750 [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/cups browseable = yes printable = yes public = yes writable = no create mode = 0700
I never thought setting up a printer in linux would be this hard. >

LAA: Williams (4-2, 2.87)
BAL: Hammel (7-4, 5.18)
How significant would having Hammel pitching well today and getting the win? Let me count the ways:
1) We would go ten games over .500 which would put us on a pace to win 94 games.
2) We would have a turn through the rotation where everyone but Gausman pitched well. Definitely heading in the right direction.
3) We would sweep the series.
4) Combined with a Yankee loss to Oakland we would be back in second place.
5) It would make me DAMN happy.

Researchers from UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center led by Dr. Antoni Ribas, professor of medicine in the division of hematology-oncology, report preliminary results showing significant antitumor activity with very manageable side effects from a new drug being tested in patients with advanced melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.
Ribas presented the results at the 2013 meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology this morning in Chicago, and the study was published online ahead of press in The New England Journal of Medicine immediately afterward. The drug, lambrolizumab (also known as MK3475), discovered and developed by Merck, received "Breakthrough Therapy" designation from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in April.
These results are from the first clinical trial of lambrolizumab in patients with advanced melanoma and are based on analysis of 135 patients with metastatic melanoma who were divided into three groups with different treatment regimens.
Overall, lambrolizumab resulted in 38 percent of patients having confirmed improvement of their cancer across all dose levels given. This ranged between 25 percent in patients who received the lowest dose, to 52 percent in patients who received the highest dose. The rate of any tumor response across all patients was 77 percent. The average duration of response to the drug has not been reached because only five patients who had initial responses have been taken off the study because their cancers got worse. At this point the longest response has been over one year.
Side effects with lambrolizumab are usually mild and easily managed. These include fatigue, fevers, skin rash, loss of skin color and muscle weakness. Only 13 percent of patients had side effects that were of higher severity, including inflammation of the lung or kidney, and thyroid problems.
According to Ribas, "this study is showing the highest rate of durable melanoma responses of any drug we have tested thus far in this cancer, and it is doing it without serious side effects in the great majority of patients."
Dr. Antoni Ribas presenting study results at the2013 Annual American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Meeting
T cells are the human immune system's soldiers that find and destroy invaders that cause infections and diseases in the body. Cancers like melanoma are usually not detected by the immune system, and they spread without T cells destroying them. One problem may be that a protein called PD-L1 on the surface of cancer cells allows them to hide from T cells that express the protein PD-1 on their surfaces. Lambrolizumab is an antibody that blocks PD-1 and reactivates an immune response to the cancer cells.
"Lambrolizumab turns on the body's immune system to attack the cancer, and the immune system seems to remember that the melanoma is the enemy and continues to control it long term," stated Ribas.
These data have led to a series of additional studies testing lambrolizumab in patients with melanoma and other cancers, including lung cancer.
This research was supported by Merck Sharp & Dohme Corporation, Whitehouse Station, NJ, USA.
The Jonsson Cancer Center Foundation, founded in 1945, is the single most important vehicle for raising private funds for cancer research at UCLA. Through activities such as Taste for a Cure and Lifeline Connection, the foundation supports high-priority cancer research efforts aimed at translating laboratory discoveries into more effective and less toxic therapies for cancer patients. UCLA's JCCC has more than 240 researchers and clinicians who are internationally renowned for finding new and better ways to prevent, detect and treat cancer. One of the nation's largest comprehensive cancer centers, the JCCC is ranked among the nation's top 12 cancer centers by U.S. News & World Report.

Slamming is when your long distance phone service is switched to a different carrier without your permission. If you receive a bill from a company other than your selected carrier, you may have been slammed. Under state and federal law you may choose a long distance carrier in writing, or verbally. Verbal requests to change carriers require that a third party verifier records your consent. If a carrier does not get your consent in writing, or through the proper verbal process, it's considered slamming.
If your long distance service has been slammed, call your local telephone company and tell them you did not authorize a change to your long distance carrier. Ask them to reconnect you to your original long distance carrier and remove any related charges from your bill. The long distance carrier that slammed your service is responsible for all costs to return your service to your authorized carrier and must bear all costs to providing you service during the period of unauthorized service.
Cramming is when unauthorized charges are placed on your telephone bill. State law prohibits a carrier from billing you for an optional telephone service that you did not order. All carriers must provide you with a list of the charges they assess customers, if you request it. Companies must also disclose this information to new customers, with or without a request. Or, you may call the Minnesota Department of Commerce at 651-296-6913 or send an email to access carrier tariffs, which list prices, terms and conditions. The Minnesota Attorney General website has additional information on cramming.
Robocalls are calls from a recorded message instead of a live person. Some robocalls are legal, such as those placed on behalf of candidates running for office, or certain charities asking for donations. However, many are illegal sales calls, cleverly disguised behind false caller ID information. For more information on robocalls and what you can do, visit the Federal Trade Commission website.
Victims of slamming, cramming or robocalls may call the Minnesota Office of Attorney General at (651) 296-3353 or send the OAG an email.

There is no rust on the car, and it is in super mechanical condition. We drove it to the Detroit Vintage Show this spring with NO PROBLEMS WHAT SO EVER. That was nearly a 1700 mile trip! (It was a real sad sight watching the odometer pass 60,000!) Not original are the following: The hood has the raised VW emblem, correct for early 60's. Tires are radials in good condition, but are not the original bias ply. Engine runs a 009 distributor. Door panels are 1958 style. The front apron has been replaced. None of these things are anything your girlfriend would notice.
