JoForget It!I am a stylist. I have bought other Twin Turbos in the past so when my full size dyer broke I thought I would try the mini. Big mistake. After only 2 yeras of part time use it stopped getting hot. I paid $130.00 for this dryer! I did not think it ever got the hair smooth enough. I had problems finding a diffuser that would not "FLY" of the nozzle and it did not stay in my stations blow dryer opening with out the concentrator on it. Another stylist in my salon also bought it and hers broke within the first year. For professional use I do not recommend it.1 out of 1 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

HeatherSan Diego, CAHairLight BrownNormal HairDry HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairGreat, Non-ionic Dryer!After years of forcing myself into joining the ionic craze, I finally decided that I had had enough of semi-dry, limp and flat hair that never seemed to be any healthier or shinier than back in the old days of simple, hot air dryers without all of the bells and whistles and lofty claims now associated with ionic heat styling tools. I know that ionic technology works to smooth and de-frizz the hair of many people, but it really does depend upon the type of hair that you have. Just google "limp and ionic" and you will read countless tales of woe from those blessed with fine hair. I saw this dryer recommended in Allure Magazine and decided to give it a try. I love small dryers with a larger air flow opening so this one appeared to fit the bill. I also tried the Ionic version (why, I have no idea!! I guess I still want to believe in all of the ionic claims). As predicted, the ionic version, while a good dryer if you like ionic, made my hair flat and lifeless. I also tried an Elchim 2001, which I did not like at all. This non-ionic TwinTurbo 3500 is just what I wanted! It dries my hair thoroughly (very important when you have frizz-prone tresses) and quickly (like in half the time!) while maintaining a constant, hot, but not so hot that you feel it could burn your hair (so long as you keep it moving around) temperature. The air flow is very powerful, yet not so powerful that you can't style your hair properly because your head is about to blow off. It is the perfect, NON-IONIC dryer!! Finally.3 out of 3 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

VoiceuNew York, NYHairDark BrownDry HairCurly HairRelaxed HairChemically Treated HairCost Never Equals Quality....I bought this because a Babyliss I had for like 6 years finally broke on me because I dropped it 24/7. I am a little rough and tumble and with this blow dryer I wanted to go all out and purchase a product that would last me a long time and gave me the same smooth, silky right out of the hair salon results my former Babyliss did.
So this one is good but, I have to say I wasn't that impressed and for the price I was a little disappointed. I used it thinking it would be an amazing product and perhaps I had higher expectations because of the brand and price. This is one of the best brands on the market and it just didn't give me the results I normally get and I have had plenty of blow dryers through the years. My hair is very dry, curly, wiry and frizzy. I have used it at least 4 or more times and I felt like my hair was left frizzy, wiry and took longer to dry than usual. IDK... I also bought a Babyliss Pro Porcelain blow dryer here on Folica for 35.99 and that one is awesome! I did get the smooth, silky results I love. So, ladies never be fooled by price or even name brands. Cost never equals quality and that's the truth.7 out of 8 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
When C.L. Maxwell came to Price from Spring Glen on Aug, 23, 1909, his motive was to get the man who seemingly stood in the way of criminal actions he wanted to perpetrate. He never had a chance to carry out his plans to rob the paymaster at the Kenilworth Mine, nor rob a Green River bank.
The man he was after, Edward Johnstone, was a deputy sheriff for Carbon County. He had been keeping track of Maxwell's whereabouts and knew he was in the area. Maxwell had come from Ogden where he had been living and hiding in Spring Glen. Somehow he also knew that Maxwell had criminal plans for the area.
The day before he showed up in Price, Maxwell had passed a bad check with a merchant in the town in which he was hiding. It was the last bad check (a propensity of his) he would ever pass. But he brought what was about to happen on himself.
"Maxwell arrived in Price Monday morning," stated the Eastern Utah Advocate three days later in the weekly edition of the paper. "It soon developed that he was 'sore on himself' and everybody else."
The other paper in town had a bit of a different story about his arrival.
"The man Maxwell had come to Price Monday afternoon saying he had come in search of Thomas Burge, a special railroad detective," stated the Carbon County News on the next Friday, Aug. 27. "Maxwell saw Burge and invited him to come over to a saloon, but Burge refused and instead went over to the Western Lumber Yard."
It was supposed at the time that Maxwell had a bone to pick with Burge, who he said had been involved in a shooting in Goldfield, Nev. in which Maxwell himself had been implicated. While he had never been charged in that murder, he was looking for the Burge, who apparently crossed him somehow. Yet Thomas Burge was not the same Burge who had been at Goldfield, and it was unclear whether Maxwell was using this as a ploy to lure Johnstone into his clutches or was just a mistake on his part. The former was suspected by many.
"Then Maxwell saw Johnson (the paper got the name wrong) on the street and followed him down the street to the Mint Saloon," reported the News. "They talked for a few minutes and then headed uptown to where Burge was located."
The Advocate had the story a little different.
"He and Deputy Sheriff Johnstone met at the Oasis Saloon," it reported. "Later Special Agent Thomas Burge of the Denver and Rio Grande passed the place when Maxwell spoke to Johnstone, saying that Burge was the man he was after, prefacing his remark with an oath and a vile epithet against Burge. Little attention was paid to the matter by Johnstone or others present. Later Maxwell wanted Johnstone to to accompany him to the Sixty-Six Saloon , but this Johnstone declined to do, when Maxwell began to banter Johnstone about being ashamed to go on the street with him."
Finally Johnstone did go with him and while they were walking down the street the News reported that Maxwell then confided in Johnstone that he (Johnstone) was the man he was really after.
"As they came down the street Maxwell referred to the trouble Johnson (Johnstone) had caused him in Goldfield (Johnstone had been working for the gold mine there in security at the time of the shooting) when he identified him in court," reported the paper. "As Maxwell was speaking he pulled his gun. Johnson (Johnstone) saw the movement and drew his pistol and fired instantly. Two bullets hit Maxwell, one on each side of the breast bone and just above the hebart, one ranging downward through the vital organs."
The Advocate reported that instead Maxwell had instead gotten after Johnstone "because of the latter's having 'turned him (Maxwell) up' on the Green River job (proposed bank robbery) and one at Kenilworth. At this time the men were ten feet apart, having become separated during their argument. Maxwell at the time drew his gun (an automatic) when Johnstone warned him to put it back in its scabbard. Instead of doing so. Maxwell fired on Johnstone, the ball passing through Johnston's shirt near the waistline and coming out through his coat at the breast pocket."
The Advocate reported only then did Johnstone draw his pistol and fired with the first shot grazing Maxwell's shoulder. Then a second shot penetrated Maxwell's heart and a third struck him in the center of the breast bone.
Both papers reported that Maxwell fell and Johnstone rushed over to take his gun away from him. At that point Maxwell said "Don't shoot again Johnstone. You have killed me."
As the Advocate said with those kinds of injuries the death of Maxwell came "in less time than it takes to tell it."
Some reports say that people from the town rushed to the spot after they heard the four shots and found Johnstone standing over Maxwell. Other reports say that he was headed down the street when asked about it.
Once Maxwell's body had been removed from the street it was found that he had a number of pawn tickets on his person (possibly from pawning some of his wife's jewelry again as had happened in Reno, Nev. right after they were married). Also found was a "quantity of gum opium" (Advocate). He was later found to have tracks down his arm from injecting drugs into his system.
At an inquiry less than two days later Johnstone was exonerated of any charges against him for killing Maxwell.
In the aftermath of the killing the two wives (Mrs. Maxwell and Mrs. Bliss from the Uintah Basin whom he had never divorced) struggled with who got his estate. However, there apparently was not much to fight over.
That was the end of the C.L. Maxwell saga. After nearly 20 years of wandering around the west he had built a small reputation, but for the most part his criminal activities were failures. The only bank robbery he had really perpetrated ended in almost immediate capture and he was put in prison. Most of his adult life was doing petty crime and passing bad checks.
His legacy has exceeded his exploits by quite a bit. But the tales about Maxwell, the man who was never good enough to hook up with Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch, but instead tried to start his own gang, have largely faded into the general history of the state.
Johnstone's killing of Maxwell in basically what was the middle of Price at the time was the last shooting of its era in town. From there on Carbon County moved on to the modern era of world with the World War I following very closely after the shooting and law enforcement changing the way they did things. It was the last gasp of what some consider the old romatic outlaws of the west in the area.

Many of us underestimate our achievements. We're often told not to boast, that modesty is the best policy. We show up to do our jobs every day and sometimes do great things -- isn't that enough?
Well, not if you want your resume to get noticed. Employers look for achievers, candidates who go above and beyond their job duties. Your resume allows you to describe your best accomplishments so employers want to take a chance on you.
If you think you have no career accomplishments, think again. Everybody has them; it's just a matter of digging down and pinpointing what they are.
What Is an Accomplishment?
On your resume, an accomplishment is an example of how you contributed to your employer, or it's an achievement that reflects the kind of worker you are. The most convincing accomplishments are measurable. Examples:
Getting Started
Set a timer for five minutes, and start jotting down your accomplishments for your most recent position. Write down any accomplishment, contribution or achievement that comes to mind, even if it seems insignificant. Complete this exercise for each position on your resume. To help jog your memory, here are questions to ask yourself:
Pulling It All Together
Now that you've completed this brainstorming exercise, turn your accomplishments into high-impact statements. Lead with the result, outcome or benefit to your employer. Here are a few examples of how to transform rough notes into accomplishments statements:Position: Teacher
Position: Systems Administrator
Position: Administrative Assistant
Still Stuck?
Sometimes it's hard to identify accomplishments. Try asking your supervisor or a colleague to name your top contributions to the team -- others may have an easier time recognizing your value than you. Review your performance evaluations or reference letters, which often include details about your accomplishments. And remember, don't sell yourself short. You may take your accomplishments for granted, but potential employers see past success as an indicator of future performance. Your job search will be more effective if your resume showcases your key accomplishments.

- Honors and Scholars Programs
The University Honors Program
Incoming freshmen must present a composite ACT score of at least 30 or a combined SAT score of at least 1330 and a high school GPA of 3.8 or better to be considered for the Honors Program.
The University Honors Program offers eligible students the opportunity to develop an individual course of study that complements their undergraduate major, leads to an Honors distinction on their transcript. To complement the academic program, the University Honors Program offers vibrant community features, including the Honors Student Association and the Honors Learning Community and FIGs.
The University Honors Program provides secondary advising through Honors advisors who work with primary advisors and faculty mentors from other programs and academic departments to provide support for Honors students throughout their undergraduate careers. Honors students also receive priority registration, allowing them to register for courses prior to the standard registration period.
By providing Honors sections of many core courses, innovative upper-level seminars and the opportunity to earn Honors credit in a variety of ways - contract options, independent study or research, internships and study abroad - the University Honors Program offers students special opportunities and challenges, creating and intensifying the intellectual and cultural experience of their undergraduate education.
Students who complete the University Honors Program earn a University Honors Program distinction on their transcript; this is a distinction beyond the traditional awards of summa cum laude, magna cum laude and cum laude. Most Honors graduates go on to study in professional schools or graduate programs in their disciplines. Every year, a number of Honors students successfully compete for post-graduate scholarships and fellowships such as the Truman, Marshall, and Rhodes Scholarships and the Fulbright Fellowships. Several Honors students have continued their studies on Rotary International Ambassadorial Scholarships.
Students who meet the minimum requirements for consideration and who have submitted their application for freshman admission must apply separately for the University Honors Program via the online application.* Completed applications for both Freshman Admission and the University Honors Program should be submitted by Dec. 1.
Students are expected to maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5 throughout their course of study in order to remain in good standing in the University Honors Program. If a student's cumulative GPA drops below 3.5, the student will be notified of probationary status in the program and will be expected to improve his or her GPA at the end of the probationary semester.

Comments about Butterfly Martin Kilpatrick Breakaway Table:
Bought for my daughter who loves to play. When I read the description it did not mention that two adults are needed to assemble plus tools such as a drill. Since it is not pre-drilled to receive the screws. It is very heavy which is good for stability but difficult when trying to assemble. If we ever get it put together we will write about how it is to play on and store.

After experiencing six consecutive quarters of employment declines, Carbon County rebounded and posted 0.8 percent year-over job growth percent in third quarter 2004.
The expanding job market coincided with the additional easing of the local area's unemployment rate, which the latest data sets at 5.4 percent, indicated the Utah Department of Workforce Services.
However, the county's remaining economic indicators, primarily construction activity and gross taxable sales, point to the continued weakness of the Carbon County economy, explained Hanni.
The slumbering coal mining industry is starting to show signs of revitalizing
The reopening of Skyline and Consol coal production operations will help the southeastern region, but may push mining employment in Carbon County to lower levels.
As Skyline and Consol return to service, the operators will likely attempt to poach the best workers from other mines in order to ease the startups at the companies, projected DWS economist Michael Hanni.
Carbon County snapped the six-quarter employment slide partly due to the fact that the local goods and service producing sides of the labor market posted gains.
Goods producing industries employed roughly 20 more Carbon County residents in third quarter 2004 compared to the previous year.
Construction employment added 39 positions in Carbon County. A 150 percent increase in building construction spurred the expansion.
Manufacturing employment also grew across the county during third quarter 2004. The sector added 11 jobs, compared to the totals recorded in 2003.
The opening of a lumber mill more than compensated for losses in different manufacturing firms, noted Hanni.
The one negative area of the sector was mining, which experienced a 30-job contraction. The drop is likely due to the reopened mines in Emery County attracting workers from Carbon, pointed out the DWS economist.
On the service producing side of the local economy, year-over job growth registered at a tame 0.8 percent.
Climbing employment opportunities in the health care, leisure and recreation sectors barely offset the sizable losses witnessed by retail trade and professional services.
Even with a jump in the number of employment opportunities at College of Eastern Utah, the overall number of government jobs in Carbon County dipped in third quarter 2004.
The major contributor to the loss was local elementary education, which lost nearly 39 positions year-over.
Measured by permit valuation, third quarter construction activity, would have dropped significantly, year-over, without a large increase in non-residential construction valuation.
All in all, year-over construction valuation was up roughly 36 percent in the third quarter, stated Hanni.
Residential construction slowed, with the number of new permits for homes decreasing 36 percent in the last year.
Following the overall residential trend, Carbon County's home remodeling and addition projects were off by nearly 50 percent in third quarter.
But non-residential construction reported a solid showing, rising from $135,000 in 2003 to $1.9 million in the latest quarter with finalized data.
Valuation for non-residential remodeling permits in Carbon County also posted a solid increase.
In addition, the year-over growth taxable sales climbed by 5.3 percent in third quarter 2004. Driving the growth were strong jumps in business investment purchases.
Sales of construction and manufacturing capital both added more than $500,000 to Carbon County's economy compared to the totals reported in 2003.
Retail sales were more subdued, but still managed to post 6 percent growth. Eating and drinking sales, in particular, were strong.
Wholesale sales dipped slightly as growth in nondurable goods was eclipsed by a $1 million decline in durable goods sales.
Total service sales rose a strong 34.2 percent, though most of that was focused in business and education services.
Carbon County's economy will continue to seek balance in 2005, predicted Hanni. Because every change in the local mining industry pushes the county's economy in and out of equilibrium, finding the balance that fosters job growth will be difficult. Therefore, Carbon's job growth will likely be tame in 2005.

Oreck® Steam-It® Main Floor Nozzle
Sku # 53519-01
Replacement Floor Nozzle for use with the Oreck Steam-It all purpose steam wand
Accessories & Supplies
Type Accessories
Main Floor Nozzle 15 15
Great steamer but it breaks easily I feel Oreck should have replaced this part under warranty. Yes it is over a year old but my cleaner was used very little during that time. Bottom line it should have held up better. November 13, 2012
Poor quality The nozzle was great when it worked but broke after about a dozen uses. It should still under warranty however I expect that we'll continue to have problems unless Oreck addresses the issue and creates a more durable main nozzle. October 22, 2012
good product until breaks Wife asked me why this unit stopped working. I took it apart and found the plastic piece connecting the main unit to the steamer had cracked. Looks like a heat/stress crack (this is a steamer). The crack makes this unit useless. I agree with the other comments "bad design." The broken part is only XXX cents to manufacture, but because it has to be sold as a "unit" you wind up paying for a whole new bottom unit.. We paid for the better model, so not to have this type of problem. July 30, 2012
Great Steamer when the head is not broken I have had my Steam-It for 2 years. Works fantastic on my laminate floors and tile. Clean grout like a dream. BUT the design of the cleaning head is flawed. I have had to replace the cleaning head twice and will have to go to my local store and buy one today (third time the charm??) as the part that connects the steam nozzle to the machine snapped in half yet again. I really like this product. With three large dogs, it helps me keep things looking great, but the head should be redesigned for better durability. July 1, 2012
Miss My friend purchased this steamer for me and I really thought it was a good product until approximately the third month of use the steamer attachment head broke into pieces. I was very disappointed February 15, 2012
STEAMER OMG!! VERY DISAPOINTED!!! Very sad!! I bought this product because of their reputation. Used it for 2 months and the parts are begining to crack and break! This is not fear! Called to see if I could get and replacement part and I have to have receipt!!! Very disapointed never will buy another Oreck product!!!!!!! January 16, 2012
AMAZING Product Do NOT base your opinion of the Steam it Multipurpose Steamer solely on the negative comments left here. This is the BEST steamer/cleaner I've ever owned. It's durable, works very well, light weight even when filled with water, and it works on almost everything that can be washed. I am disabled, I only have about 30% usage of my arms. This product has made doing my housework much MUCH easier. And FUN too :) I use it everyday.. My floors, windows, counters, blinds, glass top tables have never looked so clean. I am amazed how well this works. I LOVE it, I will never use another product. Adios mops and mop heads. Hello Oreck! March 19, 2012
Floor Nozzle is way too fragile for everyday use. Although the product works very well the nozzle broke at 14 months. It doesn't seem able to take the heat from everyday use. The design must be poor. I cant imagine having to spend $30 every year to replace a part that will end up breaking a few months later. March 17, 2012

Limbless_Pony, thanks for the advice. I must admit to playing T3 matches when i am getting pushed into it, due to T4 being somewhat of a harsh experience. I'll try to stick to T4 more! Also, the idea of observing and choices made is great, it makes the whole thing somewhat logical. Now i need to find a few unsuspecting T5 guys to stalk.
Cat, i saw your LG tutorial. In the beginning, i purely tried to mouseaim, which resulted in a huge wobbly mess. Strafing as well as trying to do slow and smooth movements with the mouse to complement the strafing made me hit better indeed. Doing this against T3 players makes me feel like godmode. Not that i would abuse the power though ... :P
The other night I was watching those XTO guys play. The only thing I learned from them is pretty much "Don't miss" lol.
Haha, indeed! The ability to hit so well seems to be pretty instrumental.
By observing people from low T3 to high T4, i found that gameplay decisions beyond simple "hit the enemy" do matter alot. One peculiar thing that makes me wonder is the low T3's tendency to "panic-rocketjump" as soon as they spot an enemy alternated with spraying rockets all over the place, something that i cant seem to find that much in higher tiers, as they mostly rocketjump to fast-travel and to escape imminent danger. In lower tiers, this makes them somewhat harder to hit, but in higher tiers, launching yourself on a predictable trajectory in the face of an enemy is pretty much suicide. Gameplay decisions seem to be tier dependant, which is another reason why adjusting from tier 3 to tier 4 is so difficult, as what you learned to do is now counter-productive to a degree.
Personally i enjoy being demoted to t3.
V1mes, i didnt dare to say it so direct, but yes, it sort of has its benefits. Also, cheers for the nightwatch reference.
uf, you give the perfect impression of a tsundere! I like it.

|Three Cougars Selected In MLB Draft

December 12, 2012 | Deepti Ramesh
Sika (Baar, Switzerland) says it has agreed to acquire Inatec (Asunción, Paraguay), the market leader in Paraguay in the area of construction chemicals. Financial details of the deal were not disclosed. Inatec, which was founded in 1982, is a privately owned company and it has annual sales of about 7 million Swiss franc ($7.5 million), Sika says. Inatec has a strong position in the refurbishment, waterproofing and concrete admixtures market, and has manufacturing facilities at Asunción, Sika says.

Which is worse? No license or a fake one? In most states you need a license to just cut hair and this Bozo is flying at night in a plane that is not airworthy and no ticket. This guy needs to spend some time making little ones out of big ones in prison.
Hmmmm.... Sounds like the kind of thing that a drug runner would be accused of doing. Late at night in a Mexican border state; no valid license; A/C registration questions...?

I need a new printer that prints black good (don't care much for colour) and that is linux-friendly (i.e., requires least amount of work to set up) and preferably under $100 CAN (uh...ballpark $50 US).
Recommendations? I'd suggest Epson; historically, that's one of the friendliest hardware producers as far as Linux is concerned. I've had absolutely no problem with any Epson printer I've owned; my model 640 (now discontinued) was easier and quicker to set up using Linux + CUPS than it was in Win98.

By RICHARD SHAWGeneral manager
For those who have fought in a war, often the little things bring back memories... a taste, an odor, a sound.
For Fred Dale Jensen, it's the sound of footsteps.
"I remember laying there in my bunk in the barracks and listening for that sergeant to come down the path to wake us up," says the ex-Army Air Corp gunner as he sat on the sofa in his house in Wellington. "Sometimes he would pass the barracks by and then after laying awake all night wondering whether we would have a mission in the morning, I could go to sleep."
But there was also the other side of it.
"If he came it was as if he was saying "You gotta go die so wake up."
Those footsteps he listened for came over 60 years ago when Jensen was stationed in Ridgewell, England. The American 8th Air Force was running daylight bombing runs into Germany, France and other European destinations that were occupied by the Nazis and Jensen was a key part of his B-17 crew that flew on such missions.
Originally born in Cleveland, when the war was raging in the early 1940's he was working in the aircraft industry for Douglas in the Los Angeles, Calif. area when he was drafted into the service.
"It was a good job and I was a machinist," he says. "I actually made parts for the B-17 assembly line, but I never did figure out where those parts were in the planes even with all the time I spent in them."
He and another guy from the Castle Valley area both worked at the plant and told management they wanted to take a few days off to go deer hunting in Utah. Their boss told them they couldn't take off because the operation had to run seven days a week to supply the planes that were needed for the war. He also told them that as long as they were employed at the factory they wouldn't be drafted.
Neither of them were sure that was the truth, but they found out it was true when they left to go back home and then were drafted when they returned.
He later learned that his buddy that he had hunted deer with was killed in air combat two weeks after he arrived in England.
The next thing Jensen knew he was at Keesler Field near Biloxi, Miss. in basic training. That was in February of 1943. After a few weeks there he was sent to Harlingen, Texas for gunnery school, where he was turned into a turret gunner... the belly turret gunner.
"When I graduated from gunnery school we were standing in formation and the officer who was speaking told us to look at the man in front of us, the man to the right of us and the man to the left of us," he says with sadness in his eyes. "He then told us that if one of us was alive at the end of our 30 mission assignment in England, the other three would be dead."
When Jensen left Texas he knew the survival rate for air crews over Europe was only 25 percent, but that was actually much better than the 10 percent rate that was realistic in the earlier years of the American technique of daylight bombing over Germany.
Because the belly gunner was also assigned to handle mechanical problems in flight, Jensen was sent back to Keesler Field to go to mechanics school.
"So we were considered engineers," he says.
That only gave him a few weeks respite before going to England, which passed quickly. He worried and was scared and when he went on his first mission he wondered what it would be like.
"Our first mission was so easy," he said. "We flew across the English channel and were supposed to bomb a target there but the mission got scrubbed so we came back."
Jensen says that on that flight the plane not only had 1000 lb. bombs in the bomb bay of the aircraft, but also had wing racks with 1000 lb. bombs under the wings. Before landing the pilot decided he didn't want to land with armed bombs hanging out so he dropped them in the channel before they reached land.
That was in February of 1944 and he had a long way to go before the next 29 missions were over. He was often in a replacement crew, one that filled in when other crew members were missing. In doing so he often was in the lead plane in a bombing formation. In that plane was the bombardier that made the decision to drop bombs for an entire group.
Jensen was assigned to the 381st which was known by its insignia a "Bat out of Hell."
He remembers many incidents of his days in those big armored planes. Some memories are comical, most others bring back thoughts of pure terror.
"One of the problems with being a belly gunner is because of the gun sight in the turret there wasn't enough room for the gunner to wear a parachute," says Jensen. "So I learned to manually open the canopy (it was hydraulic, but he practiced with the manual crank so if the power was out) and put on my parachute in less than 20 seconds. I thought that could save my life."
But he found out that things happen so quickly in air combat that the chances of him saving himself in an emergency was remote.
"We had completed a bombing run and our pilot got vertigo and we went into a spin. The guys in the cabin were pinned against the side of the fuselage and couldn't move. In my position I didn't even realize what had happened until it was over. We had gone from an altitude of 28,000 feet to 13,000 feet in only a few seconds. I could never have gotten out in time."
He said the worst mission he went on occurred during a raid over Germany on May 24, 1944.
"We lost so many planes that day it was unbelievable," he states as he looks off into the distance. "We shared the barracks with an another air crew and they never came back."
However, years later he learned from one of his fellow crew members that one of the guys from that crew had survived and been captured, even though Jensen's flight crew never saw one parachute come out of the plane as it spun toward the ground.
"Years after the war this other guy from our crew was passing through this small town and remembered that one of those lost souls had come from that town. He decided to look up the family but when he gave the name to the motel clerk where he was staying they said the only person they knew by that name in the town delivered the mail to the motel every day," said Jensen with a smile on his face. "He waited around and when the mailman showed up it turned out to be that red headed fell that we all thought was dead."
The man told Jensen's friend that he had been burned badly but had been able to get out. In a prisoner exchange he was sent back to the states to recover, but he had no idea what every happened to the rest of the crew on his plane.
It was typical of war. An airman would get to know someone and the next thing they knew the person was missing in action. Seldom did they find out what happened.
Camaraderie among air crews, guys in a gun turret on a ship or men in a foxhole on the ground is typical of war time. Many who survive combat say they were never as close to anyone in their lives as they were to their buddies with whom they faced death. There were the serious moments and then there were the jokes.
"We had one guy on our crew who was born in Germany and then moved to the States when he was a kid," says Jensen with a smile on his face. "He used to tease us that if he got shot down he wouldn't be a prisoner because his family that was still in Germany would take care of him. He said he would sign a note to tell our captors to take good care of us."
He did get to go off base once in awhile and even made it to London a couple of times. Once, one of the crew members hijacked a farmers cow and somehow got it on the train with them and took it back to the base. It was quite a group of guys he says. They came from all over the country and after the war they went into professions that ranged from being a lawyer at the White House to the pilot who became a cabinet maker.
Jensen felt he and his flight crew had a guardian angel watching out for them. Every one returned to the states after their missions had been flown. Only one was wounded in action. It helped that they all took care of each other too.
Jensen and another crewman had a chance to end their stay in England a little earlier than the others because the decided to volunteer for a mission as replacement on a crew that needed them. But the officer in charge told them they couldn't go because they had seen to many flights in a row and needed a few days rest. They were anxious to go home, but had they been allowed to climb on board, they would have probably never gone home. That flight was shot down with all hands lost during the mission.
Being a belly turret gunner brought Jensen a lot of respect from his fellow crewmen. For most people it was the last place they would want to be in a plane where German fighters and enemy flak continually bombarded the aircraft. In fact the navigator told him once that if they had made him get down in that round ball of glass and steel he would have gone AWOL instead.
After Jensen left England to come home, he never thought he would get to fly in another B-17 in his life. He also wasn't sure he would want to. But by the chances of the weather he did get one more flight 40 years later.
One the last day of May in 1994 a B-17 owned by the Confederate Air Force was making its way from Texas to Ogden for an air show when it ran into some towering thunderstorms. The air crew decided it was best to land at the Carbon County Airport and last out the storm.
Word came to Jensen that the plane was there so he and his family rushed out to see it. The plane was like the one he had flown in so many times and it even had his air groups markings on it. Jensen encountered the pilot who was removing luggage from the plane for an overnight stay and when he told the airship's captain the story, he invited Jensen to fly to Ogden with them the next day. Jensen decide to go, but not without trepidation at first.
"That plane was a lot noisier than I remembered them being," he said. "I guess with our intercom earphones on and being so busy when we were flying missions I didn't notice."
Jensen's family drove to Ogden and picked him up. He and they will never forget that last flight he took. And in a way he took for all the others on his crew that came back to the United States from the biggest war man has ever known.
"Almost everyone that was on the crew is gone now," he said as he looked out the window of his house. "Besides me there is only one guy left and he lives in Ohio. He lost his wife last year. I need to call him and make sure he is okay."
Still being part of that air crew, still watching for that guardian angel.

POTSDAM A convincing win over Rensselaer on Saturday sent the Clarkson University womens hockey team on its way to next weekends ECAC Hockey semifinals in Ithaca.
Clarkson (28-8 overall) scored the first three goals of the game and went on to beat RPI, 5-2, at Cheel Arena to sweep a quarterfinal series, two games to none.
The Golden Knights, who are the second seed in the tournament, will meet No. 3 Harvard in a semifinal on Friday at Cornell University. Clarkson won two games against the Crimson by 3-1 scores this season. The other semifinal will feature top-seeded Cornell against either No. 4 Quinnipiac or No. 5 St. Lawrence University. That series is going to a decisive third game this afternoon in Hamden, Conn.
I want to be a champion, Clarkson senior Danielle Skirrow said. Anything less than that wont make me happy. Seeing other kids, on RPI there, their careers end like that. Im lucky to be in a group where we have a shot.
Clarkson won the opening game of the series 3-2 in overtime on Friday.
But on Saturday, the Golden Knights did not allow RPI (10-22-4) to stay close.
Clarkson took the lead for good with 34 seconds left in the first period on an unassisted goal by Shannon MacAulay.
Jamie Lee Rattray then took over in the second period and effectively ended any chance for the Engineers to force a game three.
Rattray scored on a short-handed breakaway at 11 minutes, 53 seconds of the second period to extend Clarksons lead to 2-0.
Then, just under three minutes later, Rattray scored again while she was falling to the ice to make it 3-0 at 14:51. It was the second goal of the weekend for Rattray after she had been knocked down by an RPI player.
I was in the right spot at the right time, Rattray said of the goal. It was one of those where it just kind of happened.
Rattray, a junior, leads Clarkson in scoring with 22 goals and 28 assists, and she produced three goals in the two-game series. She also played a physical game and won several fights for the puck along the boards.
It seems like Jamie Lee has been (doing) that all year for us and throughout her career, Clarkson co-coach Matt Desrosiers said. You definitely need your top players to step up this time of year. If you are getting the goals from the top players, things are going well and they are fighting through the checks. Its a good testament to her.
The cold tub in Clarksons training room was a popular destination after both games of the series.
Thats the type of hockey we play, and I think everyones used to the bumps and bruises by now, Rattray said. Thats what the playoffs are about. They are going to be physical. You are going to have to fight for every battle and thats what (we) did tonight. You win a little battle there and the bench goes crazy. We all know each battle is going to matter. We have to win each one. The little things in the game are going to make us successful.
RPI scored its first goal of the game at 10:43 of the third period by Lauren Wash, but Clarkson answered with goals from Olivia Howe at 13:50 and an empty-net goal from Vanessa Gagnon at 17:36.
The Engineers closed out the scoring with a goal from Katie Daniels with 12 seconds left.
Saturdays game was the last the Golden Knights could lose and not be eliminated from a postseason tournament. Every game now is single-elimination.
Were ready to move forward and ready for Harvard, Clarkson goalie Erica Howe said. I thought (Friday) we were playing a little nervous. Today, it felt like we were carefree. We were getting pucks to the net and driving hard.

Lost SQL Developer Connections
I upgraded Oracle SQL Developer from 22.214.171.124 to 18.104.22.168, just for the heck of it. Unfortunately, all my saved connections had disappeared! After a text search I found the connections are stored in a file called IDEConnections.xml under the folder sqldeveloper\jdev\system\oracle.onlinedb.22.214.171.124.25. I copied this across to a new folder that had been created (oracle.onlinedb.18.104.22.168.36) and bingo they're back again.
Bonus – now I know what file to back up if I want to restore my connections later on.
I have run into the same problem when I upgraded to Oracle SQL Developer Version 3.0.04 under Windows 7 SP1. How may recover my saved connections have disappeared?

Most of Tennessee's earliest resorts grew up around mineral springs. The effectiveness of "water cure" or hydrotherapy had been touted since the times of the ancient Greeks and Romans. The Empiricism of the 18th and 19th centuries revived the waning popularity of mineral waters and their curative potential amidst the craze for analyzing the minerals and gases present. Physicians of the period reveled in ascribing various health benefits to particular waters.
Books such as John Bell's 1855 publication spread the word across the nation of some of the early "Tennessee Springs," their chemical compositions, and their medicinal benefits.
View excerpts from The Mineral and Thermal Springs (TN pages from John Bell's book)
Types of mineral waters were often described by the color of the precipitate formed by the water. Other laymen maintain the denotation represents the color taken on by a silver coin immersed in the spring water—i.e., red, black, or white. Claims varied, but red water was generally said to ease urinary tract disorders while black water addressed digestive complaints.
Note the lengthy section of "Testimonials of Physicians and Other Patrons of Galbraith Springs" hailing the various curative powers of the waters.
View Galbraith Springs Pamphlet (Catalogued Library pamphlet)
Some of the most noted and sought after "healing springs" were located in the highlands of East Tennessee. Indians and wildlife likely discovered these sites long before the appearance of white settlers in Tennessee. Visitors were making recorded treks to these locations as early as the 1790s. The following Nashville Banner articles found in the Samuel Anderson Weakley Papers reveal the presence of such waters in the Nashville vicinity.
- Sulphur Kills Salt Business
- Fort Nashborough Picked Because of "Bold Spring"
- Freeland's Spring Served Home of Felix Robertson
- Cockrill's Spring - Traveler's Oasis
Perhaps the earliest Middle Tennessee resort was The Fountain of Health near The Hermitage, born of the 1811 New Madrid Earthquake.
The Earth Shook, and the Fountain of Health Was Born (TSLA Sketches-Places, "Fountain of Health," Davidson Co., Tennessee, 1811-1826)
In addition to their healing properties, the watering spas or resorts offered an escape for the urban elite from the unhealthy summer cities.
Scrapbooks—Public Health—Nashville, Tennessee, 1874-1879
Thus, these resorts tended to develop at a more distant, safe location from major cities, as illustrated by Charles B. Thorne's map in his 1970 Tennessee Historical Quarterly article "The Watering Spas of Middle Tennessee." He profiled thirty-one mineral spring resorts in Middle Tennessee and commented that there were surely more that had been overlooked.

Raising a pint (or bottle) for a Firkin good causeShare Tweet
We've launched our annual holiday campaign with The Firkin Group of Pubs, partnering with the student-founded and youth driven charity, Meal Exchange. Throughout the month of December, Ontario pub patrons can support Meal Exchange by purchasing a Molson Canadian or Molson Canadian 67/Sublime at any of the participating Firkin Pub locations across Ontario. For every pint or bottle "raised", The Firkin Group of Pubs and Molson Coors Canada will each donate $0.25 to Meal Exchange.
This is the seventh year of the campaign which has raised over $125,000 dollars. These funds have supported local food banks in Ontario and funded public education programs on food security. With 31 pubs participating this year, our fundraising goal is set at $18,000.
One in eight Ontario households lack the physical and economic means to access sufficient, safe and nutritious food. While over 395,106 turn to a food bank each month for assistance, many more sacrifice their diets in other ways in order to make ends meet.
"Meal Exchange's founding program made it easy for people to help alleviate hunger while dining on campus," says Dave Kranenburg, Executive Director, Meal Exchange. "This campaign brings this same idea to life in the community and the money it generates will allow us to feed people today and increase their access to healthy food year-round."
Student volunteers from Meal Exchange will be visiting the participating pubs during the campaign to speak with the Firkin staff about the important work Meal Exchange does to address food insecurity.
"Meal Exchange representatives visiting our pubs is a great way to increase awareness of the campaign as well as ensure our teams understand how their hard work during a very busy season can make a difference in local communities," says Larry Isaacs, Director of Marketing, The Firkin Group of Pubs.
Pub patrons can support the fundraising campaign now until Dec 31st, 2011. To find a pub near you: http://www.firkinpubs.com/
Traci Shepheard, Molson Coors Canada, Larry Isaacs, The Firkin Group of Pubs and Dave Kranenburg, Meal Exchange kick off the 2011 campaign at Firkin on King in Toronto, ON

Pre-chamfered edges reduce squealing and ensure more effective braking even against worn rotors.
- Engineered to better resist mud, sand, and grit that accumulate on brakes during off-roading
- Nominal friction coefficient of 0.45 under normal driving conditions
- Patented organic AF42/66 pad friction material features a low level of metallic compounds that reduces rotor wear by up to 50%
- Produces a low amount of brake dust
- Backing plate and side edges of brake pad are green powder coated for resistance to corrosion
- Pad surfaces have chamfered edges to reduce contact against rotor lip that forms over time and causes squealing
- Center gap allows for proper heat expansion of brake pads
- Built in noise-reducing shims
- Patented Brake-In™ red pad surface coating provides better grip during the first 100 miles after new pads are installed
- Patented Brake-In™ red pad surface coating scours off any existing glaze or heat spots from brake rotor surface for more even surface mating
- 6-month/10,000 mile manufacturer warranty against premature pad wear under normal driving conditions
For heavier pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, EBC offers the Greenstuff 6000 Series Truck and SUV Brake Pads to give you longer pad life, low rotor wear, and reduced brake dust. Instead of neck-breaking autobahn grip, Greenstuff 6000 pads are formulated for the unique needs of heavier trucks and sport utilities that venture off-road. Unlike factory original semi-metallic pads, these are constructed from an organic aramid compound which blends Kevlar and Twaron composites to create a harder pad surface that is extremely resistant to dirt, rocks, and sand. While that harder brake pad surface takes longer to wear down, the improved pad life will not come at the expense of your rotors. Because steel wool compounds are pared to minimum levels, you will find a new set of rotors will last through two sets of brake pads. Should you install new pads without replacing rotors, pre-chamfered pad edges will mate perfectly against the grooves and lips that normally form on the rotor surfaces, so the meat of the pad makes contact against the rotor center where it counts. These pads also feature a red top layer coating designed to scour glaze and hot spots off worn brake rotors during the break-in process. As it does that, the coating also serves to provide a higher level of grip to counteract low friction levels that exist before bedding is complete. Built-in shims ensure any high-frequency vibration is absorbed rather than transferred as squealing noise, even under the most extreme weather conditions.
In government R90 tests of replacement brake components, EBC Greenstuff pads have been shown to deliver equivalent performance, bedding, cold temperature operation, and speed sensitivity versus original manufacturer parts. EBC's patented Greenstuff brake pad material also ensures the pads are soft enough to avoid brake squeal, but not so soft that longevity becomes compromised. Built-in shims ensure any high-frequency vibration is absorbed to prevent squealing even under the most extreme weather conditions. EBC backs Greenstuff 6000 Series Truck and SUV Brake Pads with a 6-month or 10,000 mile warranty against premature wear under normal driving conditions.61.99 169.79

This letter is in regards to the article in the Sun Advocate on January 22 which references the letter sent to the White House concerning our second amendment rights to keep and bear arms.
Mr. Cordova, what exactly is your stance on the federal government coming in and taking the firearms from the citizens of Carbon County? Further what is your stance on the second amendment and the right of Americans to keep and bear arms?
From your statement it sounds like you would be okay with the Obama Administration passing, through executive order, laws that would remove the rights guaranteed in the second amendment allowing law abiding Americans to keep and bear arms.
If that is the case, I think you need to make that known, especially at and around the time of your next election. If this is not the case you need to clarify your statement. I am interested, as I'm sure many of the residents of Carbon and Emery counties are, in knowing what your stance is on the rights of all law abiding Americans to own firearms for both sporting and self defense.
I hope that you will take the opportunity to set the record straight and let the people who elected you know what your stance really is on this issue, as it is not clear.

Clips Offer Kaman a Nice Reacharound
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Mon, 10/16/06, 11:05am:
The Clippers moved to reach a long-term contract agreement with Chris Kaman on Sunday night, offering the productive 7-foot center a five-year, $50-million extension, team sources said...
It was unclear whether Kaman and Pelinka had discussed the offer and informed the Clippers of a decision. Under NBA rules, Kaman has until Oct. 31 to accept.
If the offer is rejected, Kaman would become a restricted free agent after this season, and the Clippers could match any offer he received from another team. Kaman, who has a salary of almost $3.5 million in the final season of his contract, also could decline the offer, sign a one-year deal with the Clippers this summer and become an unrestricted free agent after the 2007-08 season.
Kaman has an interesting decision. On one hand, Samuel Dalembert signed a six year/$58M contract with Philadelphia in August 2005. The previous summer, Eric Dampier fetched seven years/$73M. So what the Clippers are offering Kaman is a contract with fewer years and less guaranteed money than what two inferior centers were able to...well...extort from Philadelphia and Dallas.
On the other hand, Kaman could get hurt; he could take a step backwards; he has a franchise and a coach that have maximized his talents and understand what kind of basketball most suits his game. On top of that, he is the beneficiary of a power forward alongside him that makes life a helluva lot easier for him on both ends of the floor. Where is Chris going to find another PF that draws the kind of double team in the halfcourt that EB commands on the other block? [Well, there's KG] In short, the Clippers' style of basketball is uniquely suited to Chris Kaman.
I have no earthly idea what Kaman will do. It wouldn't surprise me if he and Pelinka decide to go the Olowokandi route and sign a one-year tender after the season is over, then test the market as an unrestricted free agent in 2008. Make no mistake: odds are that he'll get a better offer on the open market, be it an offer sheet after this season or as an unrestricted FA after '07-'08. There's a cruel irony for the Clippers that, by utilizing him perfectly and making Kaman a better player, they're actually driving up his price.
Addendum/Correction/Glaring Omission to the Cool-City/Crappy-Team Index: I was remiss in not including Toronto on the list. In fact, I'd rank it right there with New York in the (2) slot, though, like Minneapolis, the snot-freezing climate during the NBA season warrants caution.

State ACA and Ryan White Consumer Enrollment Resources
State ACA and Ryan White Consumer Enrollment Resources
The Affordable Care Act has made changes that apply to all states. However, some conditions vary by state (e.g., whether the state expanded Medicaid eligibility and assistance available from the Ryan White ADAP program).
Thus, many states prepared state-specific resources (listed below) to help individuals living with HIV/AIDS and providers understand their coverage options. NOTE: Items prepared for the current 2015 open enrollment season are noted as such. A handful of items without this notation were prepared for the initial 2013-14 ACA open enrollment season and may not reflect changes in health plan and ADAP coverage. Consult your Ryan White providers to get updates.
Submit new resources and updates for the 2015 open enrollment.
- Arizona: See the Phoenix/Maricopa Part A Enrollment Plan.
- California: The state's marketplace, Covered California, has a listing of drug formularies for approved health plans (2015). Project Inform prepared two consumer tools for Californians living with HIV or hepatitis: one on how to choose a plan (2015) and another listing HIV and hepatitis drug formularies for plans being offered in California--by plan, drug and tier (2015). The Transgender Law Center prepared an Excel spreadsheet (2015) and PPT explanation (2015) of coverage of HIV drugs by California ADAP and QHPs.
- Colorado: Colorado AIDS Service Organizations (2015) are available to assist PLWH with ACA enrollment questions.
See enrollment resources for Ryan White grantees/providers and share your ACA tools with your Ryan White colleagues.
State links and phone numbers for the Marketplace (including Qualified Health Plans), Medicaid, Medicare and Ryan White (Health Coverage, HIV & You).
See How to Apply for Marketplace Coverage (HealthCare.Gov).
- Florida: See ACA in Florida brochures and flyers for Ryan White clients by the AIDS Institute.
- Illinois: HIV Health Reform prepared The Illinois Ryan White Part B Program & Illinois Health Insurance Marketplace: A guide for people with HIV in Illinois (2015), designed for modification and adoption by other states to address their unique issues.
- Nebraska: Nebraska AIDS Project case managers are handlng consumer ACA questions (2015).
- Nevada: Northern Nevada HOPES has Health Insurance Enrollment FAQs (2015).
- Ohio: The Ohio AIDS Coalition has prepared the Health Marketplace Enrollment and Toolkit (2015).
The above resources shared by HIV/AIDS grantees, HIV Health Reform, NASTAD, The AIDS Institute, AAHIVM, Project Inform and others.

This is something that could potential work very effectively on a tablet, its interface shifting to be suitable for each particular place/situation. I like the sleek and futuristic sheen that's been given to the interface.Posted in Interface → Other
A striking home site for a graphic designer. I think the decision to keep the text at an absolute minimum unless the user requests it works really well here.

An incredibly vibrant and colourful site for a graphic designer. It makes an immediate statement about the personality of the designer and the style of his work. I love the simple and clean design of the portfolio gallery, it works well in contrast to the rest of the site.Posted in Web Design → Design

I particularly like the design of the white case but find the addition of straps a little clumsy.Posted in Interface → Other
A striking site for a user interface and front-end developer. The large slider makes an immediate impact and immerses any visitors into the work of the designer.

Here we have a crystal-inspired pop-up invitation and an intricately folded poster look book for a women's wear collection by Jade Sarita Arnott. The use of unique paper design immediately changes the way we interact with the material. The way the poster look book unfolds causes the recipient to engage rather than switch off.Posted in Interface → Other

An awesome portfolio site for a freelance designer. The unique approach to layout here is fascinating and works well to get visitors engaged. The entertaining, and slightly tongue in cheek, tagline makes an immediate impact.Posted in Web Design → Portfolio
A fascinating design for a clutch bag. It's made from a single piece of two dimensional structure, constructed of triangular segments which can be folded like origami. The concept is intriguing, although it remains to be seen whether it can take off as a fashion item.Posted in Interface → Other
A clean and stylish site for a North London based hairdressers. I like the use of a monochrome scheme for the background, it really helps the photographs to make an impact. I particularly like the intuitive design and how easy it is to grasp what the site is for.Posted in Web Design → Misc
A supremely stylish and sleek logo design that makes an immediate statement. I love the deep red of the background and custom typeface used. The colour palette for the superscript logo idea itself works really well in contrast to the white text.Posted in Branding → Logo
A fascinating site for a graphic/web designer. It manages to make you genuinely feel like he's sitting right in front of you. I like the simplicity of the site although some of the sporadic aspects, the 'Like' box for example, can make it feel a little messy.Posted in Web Design → Portfolio
While white on yellow is a rare colour selection, possibly because of the inherent lack of contrast, this logo concept really works for me. I love the boldness of the design and how well it works with the name! While the colour makes a great impact, the lemon logo could make a stronger statement were the designer to drop the detail on the lemon segments.Posted in Branding → Logo

Love, love these clear liners.They are a perfect fit! Plus they are inconspicuous and allow the color of the carpet to seamlessly blend with the overall interior. No clashing colors! They are cleverly made slightly larger than the original floor mats, thus keeping those edges protected and out of the way. Only one drawback...hence the 4 star rating. The plastic odor immediately overpowered the new car, leather smell of my 2015 Murano. I am considering removing them until they "air" out.

The following is from "The Motocross Files"…
FULLERTON, CALIF. (September 30, 2013) - "The History of the Sport" returns to the little screen when MAVTV begins re-airing seasons one, two and three of The Motocross Files (MXF) on October 4th with season one's inaugural show on "Bad Brad" Lackey. Lackey was America's first World Champion and only 500cc World Champion when he concluded a 10-year quest to win that title.
Developed and originally aired in the fall of 2005 on Speed, MXF broke new ground with sports documentary story telling with high production values utilizing theatrical music score and pioneering the use in sports productions of "3D animated photographs" seen today in so many shows and commercials. Over 21 episodes have been produced for the series to date and Producer/Director, Todd Huffman feels there are even more great motocross stories out there to tell.
"We have been blessed to get to know these motocross legends and bring their inspiring and emotional stories to the viewers," said Todd Huffman, the series' Producer and Director at Pipeline Digital Media (PDM). "With MAVTV's new direction, energy and momentum we feel we have truly found a home for the series."
MAVTV is currently in over 27 millions households being found on Directv (Ch. 214), Dish (Ch. 248), Comcast, Time Warner and Charter just to name a few. And a new relationship with 16 new independent cable operators get the network new reach to viewers across the country who are discovering MAVTV's entertaining and relevant programming that the entire family can enjoy.
"Lucas Oil believed in this show back in 2005 and it is great to see it come full circle and air on MAVTV. I am excited to bring the series to our growing viewership of motorcycle enthusiasts with people that love telling a great story," says Jason Patison, Programming Director for MAVTV.
MAVTV will begin airing all 21 episodes of MXF on October 4th at 2:30am and 5:30am (all times Eastern Standard Time) with the Brad Lackey episode and then every Friday at the same times.
