Instrument Panels
Traditionally, instrument panels were made from several separate components that needed to be painted and that were all held together by a steel supporting beam that lay behind the panel. Today, thanks to modern plastics technology, instrument panels are made of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), ABS/polycarbonate alloys, polycarbonates, polypropylene, modified polyphenylene ether (PPE) and SMA (styrene maleic anhydride) resins. These plastics allow for complex designs in items such as: airbag housings, center stacks for instrument panels, and large, integrated instrument panel pieces. They are also used in manufacturing the rest of the automobile's interior trim. These plastics are also capable of eliminating the need for a steel support beam, allowing manufacturers to save dramatically on the cost of the instrument panel while substantially reducing its weight.
Wholly integrated single-piece units can be manufactured from all-urethane and all-polypropylene resins. This results in a seamless instrument panel with greatly reduced NVH levels, molded-in color and with significant cost savings for the manufacturer. Cost effective post-consumer and in-plant recycling is also achievable.

When it comes to your business, there is just no room for dealing with rodents. Mice and rats cause serious problems for businesses every year including structural damages and damage to hard earned images and reputations. Not only can rodents quickly drive people away but they also create an unsanitary workplace that threatens you, your employees and customers.
In order to protect your facility from rodents this fall, it is important to implement strategies that keep mice, rats and other rodent activity away. Since 1926, Sprague Pest Solutions has been providing commercial pest control services in Seattle, Portland and throughout the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain regions and have identified proven methods for rodent exclusion. The best part about the following pest proofing tips, many of these things you can do right now.
Seal off points of entry - Rodents enter building through doors, vents, pipe and utility openings, dock plates, or any other small openings. Be sure all of these areas are sealed off and that you try to keep doors and receiving areas closed as much as is possible.
Inspect incoming goods - You want to look for signs of rodents such as droppings and gnaw marks.
Inspect the property - Often times mice and rats are living outside of the facility in what is called a reservoir population. By removing food, water and shelter from your facility's property, you will be removing the chance of rodents getting inside the facility.
Improve sanitation efforts - This is something that cannot be stressed enough. Because rodents are dangerous to health, can contaminate product, and create fire hazards with their gnawing, it is vital that the facility maintains strict sanitation practices.
In addition to these rodent exclusion techniques, be sure that your facility has an ongoing pest control service. It takes routine inspections, preventative treatments and continuous monitoring by pest control professionals to really maintain a rodent free facility.
To see if Sprague services your area, please click here. To find out more about Sprague's proven commercial pest solutions, please contact us today! Serving Seattle and Portland as well as the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain regions and the Denver metro, we are ready to make sure pests do not rob you of your reputation!

LuAnne The Stripper Gets A Nut Busted In Her Face
My buddy Mike loves going to this particular strip club near the office that I find to be disgusting. The liquor is watered down, the girls are skanks, and the decor looks like something out of a 1970's porn flick. Nonetheless, he tells me in the office one day there is this tatooed Hawaiian chick named LuAnne who wants to fuck his brains out on camera. So, he asks me if I would film the action. Sure, why not? I love filming sex! Check out the monstrous facial at the end!
cumshot, slut, blowjob, facial, amateur, spunk, jizz, whore, fucked, homemade, stripper, tatoo
All Comments
she certainly knows how to suck a dick. She's a swallower, that's why she said NO to a facial. When you give a facial you should smear it all over her face with your dick...now that's hot. xoxo
mmm good cock sucker, great ending lol
funny *****
Ya gotta love those nipples!

Subject: Great Stories of Life and Living 10 Master of Longevity: Sandhill Crane
Where: Old Town Public Library, 200 Peterson St., Fort Collins
When: Noon to 1 p.m. Tuesday
Cost: Free and open to the public
Overview: The tenth program in a yearlong series about Colorado birds, Master of Longevity will examine the crane family by highlighting the two species that have been found in Colorado. The program will include details about relatedness, history and populations.
The sound arrives before they do.
It is a sound without equal. Like trumpeting, but not trumpeting. Like honking, but not honking. Too much a yodel to be a yelp but too much a yelp to be a yodel.
Arriving from a distance, it graces the ear as a crooning. Finally close enough to distinguish, it floods the ear as a clamoring sort of avian fanfare. Passing toward the next horizon, it sounds like a chaotic chant unified into a single sound by the lack of unity of its individual sounds.
However you perceive the sound, whatever words you choose to describe the sound, it is an auditory icon of autumn, and it will pull your gaze upward that you might see the birds.
See the cranes.
The sandhill cranes.
Sometimes, you have to scan the sky to find them; sometimes, they fade in and out of view as they circle and swirl and mingle in such a way as to confuse even the sunlight; sometimes, they almost seem to present themselves.
And sometimes, all you get is their sound, like an echo that lingers.
If you listen to it, that crane echo, you can lose yourself in dreamy wonderings and almost imagine the breeze on your face came from their wings stroking the air.
If you listen for them, the cranes, you might hear them several times a day or just a single time on each of several days.
On rare occasions, you might even hear a flock passing by starlight. Consider yourself lucky if you do, because most of them fly from midmorning to sundown. And most of them spend their nights roosting in large flocks that gather in shallow rivers or reservoir shorelines.
Even on the ground, they are talkative birds. They utter more than a dozen variations of sounds described as trills, purrs and rattles.
A flock of sandhill cranes calling produces one of the great sounds of nature, ranking among the likes of whales blowing and surf pounding, of wolves howling and rivers running, of elk bugling and winds blowing.
Sandhill cranes give voice to place and to season. Even more than the goodbye whispers of leaves leaving home, they are the song of autumn. And they have been singing it for a very long time.
They were already here and calling when the last big glaciers melted, when the first humans arrived and when the last mammoths died.
Listen for them that you might see them. See them that you might know them.
Know them that you might embrace the full charm of autumn.
Write to Kevin J. Cook at the Coloradoan, 1300 Riverside Ave., Fort Collins, CO 80524.

There is something incredible about working in the week ends, mainly, you get plenty of time to decide what you are going to review on your next column and sometimes even write it. (Because, in my workplace it's either you move or die frozen and even so, it's better to move next to the heater)
Today's victim of my now infamous reviews (or so I hope they are, after more than a year…) is Starry Sky. What is Starry Sky you ask? Well then, it's an adaptation from an otome game, except that for once, the guys are modeled after horoscope signs. Obviously the story is beyond simple, it follows them in their school life as they make new friends and generally do ordinary stuff while we wait for the answer to the question that everyone is asking: who will the girl fall for?
You might guess the answer to this question already, because you must be familiar with otome game adaptations to a certain extent (and because this is not the first one I've reviewed). Obviously the girl will not fall for anyone, it would shatter the fantasy after all. I really wish that more anime of this kind would follow the example of Hakuouki and actually follow one route instead of leaving everything open.
Now though, no matter how bad the plot is I always seem to come running to this kind of anime, I watch them all no matter how boring they are and no matter how annoying I find the mandatory heroine. Starry Sky is actually one of the first time I delved into the genre, but I don't particularly have any good memory of it (except for the cast but that's another story).
The good thing about this kind of anime with a boring plot is that it usually have a wide range of characters that it develops with more or less luck. The problem in Starry Sky is that an episode focuses mainly on a single character, shaping him (and her) by making him interact with his classmates (because everyone goes to the same school and, miracle, there is a single girl in the whole school, isn't it a convenient plot twist?), and the episodes are only ten minutes long. That doesn't leave a lot of room for character development after all the time spent on the heroine. (Who is named Tsukiko in case anyone was interested, which I somehow doubt but that's still some information the boss will want to know so here you have it.)
Which doesn't mean I didn't enjoy some of the characters, the president of the student council, Kazuki Shiranui, the Aries, was especially endearing. A very outgoing personality, yet gentle, definitely my favorite. Surprisingly enough (not so much, that was a clever use of irony) my second favorite, Ooshirou Shirogane, isn't even one of the guy you're supposed to be able to date in the game. That definitely must mean something in terms of character development. On the other hand, as you might have guessed, I'm not much of a fan of the heroine, because she has no personality and she's boring and annoying. Nothing new under the sun.
What I have liked on the other hand concerning these characters is that, as I didn't play the game, I got curious about what the character that represented my sign was like. That's one of the reasons that made me keep going on watching this. That being said, not so strangely enough because I could foresee this from the very beginning, I can't say I really liked the character that represents Pisces (which is my sign), he's a bit too lethargic and boring for my tastes.
The second (and main) reason can be summed up in one word: seiyuu. The cast of this anime was absolutely amazing guys, amazing I tell you. Though to be honest I still pretty much hate Daisuke Hirakawa's voice but the sound of everyone else's voice more than made up for it.
As far as my final opinion goes, it's bad, this anime is so bad it's not even funny. Starry Sky is only to be watched if you're a huge fan of the game or a huge seiyuu fan, and I emphasize on the huge. Sometimes, I think I'm a masochist.

Introduction: What is Vibration?
Effect of Vibrations on Research and Analysis Instruments
Challenges of Vibration Isolation
Solutions for Vibration Isolation
About Herzan
Vibration is the transmission of mechanical energy in wave form through a physical structure. The behavior of vibrations is greatly affected by the physical structures through which they transmit.
Vibrations are created by several natural and man-made sources, including building sway, foot traffic, moving parts within instruments, pumps and other machinery, HVAC equipment and ventilation, vehicle traffic and seismic movement.
Figure 1. Illustration of Vibration Wave with Relevant Terms
Research instruments are affected by vibrations in many different ways. Vibrations can deteriorate image quality for imaging tools by blurring the image or generating jagged lines along the edges of features.
Vibrations can significantly affect measurements of equipment that quantify force such as tensile testers and nanoindenters, or that apply force in their sensing method such as microbalances or scanning probe microscopes.
Figure 2. Effects of Vibration on SEM Image
Sensitive devices will deliver inaccurate results due to the presence of vibrations. The instruments may become useless if the displacement of the vibrations is more than the equipment's resolution level. Precision manufacturing processes are also affected by vibrations. Low environmental noise levels are essential in precise weight measurements and in the application of thin coatings.
Vibrations are often so small that they are not in the audible range of humans, but large enough that they cannot be handled by research instruments, especially when the measurements are on the nanoscale. These cases may require the deployment of certain vibration measurement instruments that externally verify noise levels.
Identifying the source of troublesome vibrations is again a challenge even after their detection because they can traverse miles through the ground. Vibrations generated from noisy machinery can easily propagate across a whole building.
It is often necessary to conduct a site survey to identify the source of noise by detecting the frequency level of the problematic vibrations. This data is useful in limiting the potential sources. The source can be identified by comparing power levels and taking measurements in different points. However, it is a highly time-consuming trial-and-error process.
The offending vibrations can be amplified and multiplied by poor construction. Resonances and a confusing vibration profile are the results of a building constructed without considering the requirements of precision research. Vibrations issues can be increased if tables and desks are not rigidly constructed.
Sometimes, the selection of vibration isolation systems itself is a challenging process because the specific sensitivities of individual instruments may not be well defined. It is difficult to gauge noise levels without conducting a site survey. It is necessary to take the advice from instrument manufacturers and experts in the noise reduction field for selecting isolation systems.
The first step to prevent offending vibrations is the identification and possible elimination of the source. If it is not possible to eliminate the source, then it must be isolated from the physical structure by placing damping rubber under the feet or detaching it from the structure utilizing cable, hose, or duct extensions.
If vibration is not controlled by these measures, then it is necessary to add isolation to the sensitive equipment itself. The addition of mass to a system raises its impedance, which, in turn, increases the energy required to move it. More isolation can be achieved through the addition of simple rubber mats or feet under the equipment or table.
If these simple measures fail, then it is necessary to use a more complex isolator such as passive isolators, which include air tables, bungees, and negative stiffness isolators. These passive isolators are capable of providing a higher reduction factor at a reasonable cost.
An active vibration control system must be employed for very noisy environments or extremely high precision applications. These high performance vibration isolation systems can continually detect and damp incoming vibrations. They can effectively deal with very noise environments as thanks to their low frequency resonance.
Herzan provides high performance environmental solutions for precision research instruments. They include acoustic enclosures, vibration isolation systems, Faraday cages, and site survey tools. Herzan specializes in supporting nanotechnology research, but also offers solutions for product testing, in-vitro fertilization, and many other applications.
Herzan was founded in 1992 by Ann Scanlan in Orange County, California. Originally, Herzan was established as an American subsidiary of Herz Company Ltd., a Japanese company specializing in vibration control. The name Herzan comes from the amalgamation of 'Herz' and 'Ann'.

Holocaust Survivors Go Back in Time to Enjoy Their Stolen Youth
Survivors Kick Up Their Heels at Third Annual Yellow Rose Senior Prom
By: News Staff
The Yellow Rose Project recently held its 3rd Senior Prom: An Intergenerational Celebration of Life at Toronto's Beth Emeth Bais Yehuda Synagogue.
The initiative was created to give Holocaust survivors, many of whom never had the chance to enjoy a senior prom of their own, let alone their youth, that experience, albeit some six decades after the fact.
The dance floor was alive with the footsteps of Holocaust survivors who danced alongside 100 young adults and devoted volunteers, who did everything in their power to ensure they were having the time of their lives.
"I know what the word freedom means, but I never knew what it felt like, and tonight, I know…we never imagined us Holocaust survivors would live this long and be able to celebrate like this," gushed Jenny Eisenstein, a survivor who made it through the horrors of the Holocaust with her sister Regina.
"I am so impressed by how organized the young people were and that they would do this for us," shares Sally Rosen, another survivor who attended prom. "It's so nice to know the young people love us!"
As you can imagine, making this event a reality requires a tremendous amount of work – and cooperation. Seeing this special evening to fruition took some five months to plan, and relied on everything from Holocaust survivor outreach via Baycrest, Bernard Betel, Circle of Care, March of the Living and UJA Federation's Sarah and Chaim Neuberger Holocaust Education Centre, to organizing transportation for over 100 Holocaust survivors -which would not have been possible without the dedication of Ranit Beck, the transportation coordinator, to sponsorship, catering, entertainment and all of the events logistics which would not have been possible without Sara Lefton (Co-Chair) and the rest of the committee.
And why a prom? Did they even have proms in Europe? Some say yes, others question it. However, the important part about the prom is that young people today can relate to it. A prom is a rite of passage today's youth look forward to—a time where opportunity is boundless—free to ask what do I wear to prom? What university should I accept? Do I go to Israel for a year? What law school do I want to go to? And we should be and are thankful for these choices.
For survivors, they wondered how, if at all, they would survive the atrocities of the Holocaust, never mind what a future would look like. "I was in Auschwitz when I was 16," shares Nate Leipciger, Holocaust survivor and was also this year's Prom King. "We had no future, but with young adults, we have a future," he adds.
The sight of 300 jubilant Holocaust survivors wearing their best suits and dresses adorned with yellow rose boutonnières, dancing and connecting with young people was a sight for sore eyes. Sixty-plus years ago, survivors wore yellow stars as a tactic of severe degradation.
The Yellow Rose Project does whatever it can to ensure the stories and testimonials of survivors are passed on through our programs including friendly visiting and friendly calling as well as the Unbroken Telephone—an initiative whereby Holocaust survivors are matched with 4-5 young adults to share and teach their stories so that when survivors are no longer here, their stories will be retold.
Franka Kon, the inspiration for the yellow rose projects name, recently shared that "we can go a little easier now knowing what The Yellow Rose Project will accomplish—and there is work to do!"
The Senior Prom: An Intergenerational Celebration of Life would not have been possible without its Lead Sponsor, aka Prom King and Prom King, Howard Sokolowski and Senator Linda Frum, as well as our Benefactor, aka Prince and Princess, Honey and Barry Sherman. These individuals understood the significance and beauty of bringing 300+ Holocaust survivors together with young adults in the community. For so many reasons, the community has a lot to thank these individuals for.

- Filed Under
A Franklin County judge has dismissed a lawsuit seeking to have President Barack Obama removed from the ballot in Kentucky.
In dismissing the suit, Circuit Judge Thomas Wingate ruled that Congress, and not he, is empowered under the U.S. Constitution to rule whether Obama is a "natural born citizen," which is required of people elected president.
"This court trusts that the members of the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives are qualified to adjudicate any objections regarding an allegedly unqualified candidate," Wingate wrote in the two-page ruling. ...

Elana Simon, 18 (New York, New York)
After surviving a bout with a rare liver cancer at age 12, Elana Simon, now 18, teamed up with one of the surgeons who treated her, set up shop in a medical lab, and began to collect much-needed data about the rare illness she'd endured. She gathered tissue samples from patients coping with the same cancer, fibrolamellar, performed genomic sequencing tests, and found a common genetic mutation across all of the samples she collected. Elana's results were published in the top journal Science, and formed a basis for a new website, the Fibrolamellar Registry, which she built to help empower fibrolamellar patients to share their own medical data for use by researchers working to find a cure. Elana is a recent winner of the American Association for Cancer Research's Junior Champion in Cancer Research Award. She has presented her work before an audience of 16,000 cancer researchers and is headed to Harvard to study computer science in the fall.

Hearing stories of the difficulties their patients face drove him to pursue research that might help improve outcomes for cancer patients. Through his research, Frederick identified a potential new treatment for glioblastoma multiforme, the most malignant type of adult brain cancer, using human mesenchymal stem cells to secrete exosomes that contain anticancer microRNA -- a project that earned him a $10,000 scholarship from the Siemens Foundation. Frederick's favorite subject is organic chemistry. He is a National Merit Scholar Semifinalist, captain of his school's varsity soccer team, and is currently considering a profession biomedical research or engineering.
Anne Merrill, 17 (Old Greenwich, CT)
Anne Merrill, 17, is inspired by nature -- both scientifically and artistically. As a finalist in the Intel Science Talent Search 2014, Anne studied natural, non-chemical methods for suppressing soil-borne diseases. She looked at how "biochars," a charcoal-like material created by burning organic waste to sequester carbon, can be integrated into topsoil by earthworms as they burrow and digest soil. Her results suggest that combining the natural methods of earthworm bioturbation with biochars in soil may help reduce carbon emissions, prevent the spread of plant-borne E. coli, and increase agricultural yields. Anne is president of her high school's art club, has exhibited her nature-inspired art in several shows, and placed first in Princeton University's Playwriting Competition.
Crystal Brockington, 18; Aaron Barron, 18 (Conyers, GA)
Noting that in the duration of just one hour, the Earth encounters more solar energy than the world population uses in a year, Crystal Brockington and Aaron Barron, both 18, set out to harness the power of the sun more efficiently than ever before. The pair -- self-dubbed as the "Nanocrystals'" -- conducted research to determine which alternative material could be used in quantum dots -- a key type of semi-conductor that makes solar cells work more efficiently -- to create a more efficient, cost-effective solar cell that works without cadmium, a material traditionally that is detrimental to the environment. Their research project was built around a comprehensive study plan and project design component, including a cost analysis of different types of solar cells. The team's work earned them the High School Grand Prize at the Seimens We Can Change the World Challenge.

Parker Owen, 20 (Mobile, AL)
20-year-old Parker Owen from Mobile, AL, designed a prosthetic leg made entirely of a single bicycle as a cost-effective solution to make prosthetics more accessible in developing countries. Paker was inspired after learning that a local mission trip to Honduras raises $10,000 in donations each year, but that is only enough to buy components for four prosthetic legs. Parker designed the "Cycle-Leg" as a solution to significantly improve the quality of life of people in the developing world and made the. The Cycle-Leg is made entirely from the parts of a recycled bicycle, with the addition of three bolts, three nuts, and a few zip-ties. The leg has adjustable muscle fibers and tendons which are made from the bicycle's tire tubes, providing the resistance and force needed during strenuous activities. The synthetic muscles adjust with simple air pressure. The Cycle-Leg is adjustable to fit any size person and is designed to incorporate growth as well as muscle gain and loss of the individual over the course of a lifetime. Parker's Cycle-leg won him the 2013 FIRST Future Innovators Award.
Ciara Newberry, 8; Elora Johnson, 8; Swapneel Mandal, 7 (Edmond, OK)
Three second-grade students from John Ross Elementary School in Edmond, Oklahoma, put their heads together to help solve a problem on the minds of many American parents: the threat of children overheating while sitting in too-hot cars. The students designed the "Hot Car Safety System," which sounds an alarm when a car becomes too hot for people or animals. Weight sensors placed under the seats of the car ensure that the system turns on to protect all occupants. As part of entering their design into the National Science Teachers Association ExploraVision competition, the team build a website and submitted a video demonstrating the operation of their invention.

Interleukin-6 regulates anti-arthritic effect of methotrexate via reduction of SLC19A1 expression in a mouse arthritis model
1 Product Research Department, Fuji-Gotemba Research Laboratories, Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., 1-135 Komakado, Gotemba, Shizuoka, 412-8513, Japan
2 Division of Clinical Immunology, Doctoral Program in Clinical Science, Graduate School of Comprehensive Human Sciences, University of Tsukuba, 1-1-1 Tennodai, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, 305-8575, Japan
Arthritis Research & Therapy 2012, 14:R96 doi:10.1186/ar3821Published: 30 April 2012
Methotrexate (MTX) enters cells via the reduced folate carrier SLC19A1, suggesting that SLC19A1 is associated with the efficacy of MTX. We here examined the relationship between the efficacy of MTX and the expression of SLC19A1 in glucose 6-phosphate isomerase (GPI)-induced arthritis. We found that interleukin-6 (IL-6) regulated the expression of SLC19A1, so we studied the effect of a combination of MTX and anti-mouse IL-6 receptor antibody (MR16-1).
GPI-induced arthritis was induced by intradermal immunization with recombinant GPI. MTX was given from the first day of immunization. Mice were injected once with MR16-1 10 days after immunization. The levels of SLC19A1 mRNA in whole hind limbs and immune cells were measured. Synovial cells from arthritic mice were cultured with cytokines, and cell proliferation and gene expressions were measured.
MTX inhibited the development of GPI-induced arthritis; however, the efficacy of MTX gradually diminished. SLC19A1 expression in immunized mice with arthritis was lower than in intact mice; moreover, SLC19A1 expression in arthritic mice was further decreased when they were treated with MTX. IL-6 was highly expressed in whole hind limbs of arthritic mice. In an in vitro study using synovial cells from arthritic mice, IL-6 + soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) weakened the anti-proliferative effect of MTX and reduced SLC19A1 expression. Finally, although MR16-1 did not improve arthritis at all when administered on day 10, MTX in combination with MR16-1 more potently reduced the development of arthritis than did MTX alone. When used in combination with MTX, MR16-1 apparently reversed the decrease in SLC19A1 induced by MTX alone.
In the present study, we demonstrated for the first time that IL-6 reduced the efficacy of MTX by decreasing the expression of SLC19A1, which is important for MTX uptake into cells.

1. Legal Matters
When is an employee officially off the clock? That's a question the Supreme Court will take up, as it hears the case of temp workers who are asking to be paid for the time they spent going through security when leaving Amazon warehouses and distribution centers.--Fordyce Letters
2. 2015 Budget
Obama's latest budget for 2015 is awash in new tax and spending policies. But there's only one reform that might actually go through--and you won't like it.--Inc.
3. Decline of the PC?
Research firm IDC predicts the PC market will contract by 6 percent this year and continue to decline through 2018. The reasons for the slowdown are worth keeping in mind: slow economic growth, decreased spending power, and, perhaps most importantly, the rise of tablets and smartphones.--TechCrunch
4. From the Jargon Department
Here's a great reason to drop unnecessary tech terminology from your business marketing: A recent survey from the coupon site Vouchercloud.net found that 11 percent of Americans think HTML is a sexually transmitted disease, 12 percent think USB is an acronym for a European country, and a whopping 42 percent believe that a motherboard is another word for the deck of a cruise ship. When in doubt, keep it simple--and low tech--stupid.--LA Times
5. Innovations in Dating
In an effort to "mak[e] dating fun again," a startup called The Dating Ring is raising funds on Crowdtilt to fly single women from New York City to meet single men in San Francisco. It's either a sign that dating sites are a hotter market than ever, or that the sector has run out of ideas.--BetaBeat

Editor, The Spotlight:
It is with great respect and admiration that I ask the voters of Bethlehem to re-elect Nanci Moquin as our town clerk for a third consecutive term. Nanci has worked hard for the town and its residents for over 10 years, serving as town clerk for the past four. She has seamlessly and efficiently carried out the duties and responsibilities of her office, even during changes in administration. Nanci has continued and even enhanced many of the policies and procedures that were in place when she first took office in 2010.
In addition to providing increased security of the town's records, Nanci has been instrumental in assisting the IT Department implement the system that video records town meetings for immediate or future viewing. She recently spearheaded a project where an outside contractor now routinely shreds and recycles confidential town documents, while providing a new source of revenue for the town.
Working with Nanci on a daily basis has proven to be both enlightening and rewarding. Her interactions with town officials, coworkers, and the public are always helpful and pleasant. No question or request is too large or too small for her to acknowledge, research, and respond.
Please join me in supporting Nanci Moquin as our town clerk by voting for her on Tuesday, Nov. 5.
Julie Sagendorph
Bethlehem deputy town clerk

Posted 15 April 2012 - 11:22 AM
yeah i know 265/70's are the obvious choice, i was just trying to see if there was a wider tire that i could put on that wouldnt be too tall
Posted 15 April 2012 - 03:13 PM
Well how tall and wide are you looking for and in what kind of tread?
Posted 15 April 2012 - 10:11 PM
I'm thinkin I'll just go for some 265/70's or maybe some 275/65's. Thanks for the input

WALLA WALLA - Blue skies and freshly cut grass weren't the only friendly sights greeting fans at Borleske Stadium Friday.
The Walla Walla Sweets held their first community day as an opportunity for fans to meet and mingle with players and coaches before Tuesday's opening game against the Wenatchee Apple Sox.
Dressed in practice gear, the players left the dugouts and met with fans, who were as excited as the players about the upcoming season for the first-year expansion team of the West Coast League.
John Gallagher, a long-time Walla Walla resident, was excited to see baseball players return to Borleske Stadium after witnessing Hall-of-Famers Ozzie Smith and Tony Gwynn begin their early professional careers there, as did actor Kurt Russell.
"I see people here getting ready for life," Gallagher said about the Sweets. "It's nice to see people here looking forward to this team. I look forward to the season."
The Martinez family began its journey in Culiacan, Mexico, then flying from Arizona. Their son and sibling, Jesus Martinez, an outfielder, is playing for the Sweets.
While watching his son in batting practice, Jesus Martinez Sr. said he was impressed with the event and the players.
"Very friendly team, very friendly environment to meet the fans," Martinez said. "Nice experience. They [the team] had the opportunity to communicate with the people and meet the little kids and the guys were very respectful to the fans."
Fans attending the event also got a sneak peek at what others will see in next Tuesday's season opener.
About $250,000 and scads of work has gone into the historic stadium in preparation for opening day. The press box and the concession stand have been remodeled and box seats and Diamond Club theater seats have been added, along with a party deck near right field. There is also a beer and wine garden at left field and traditionalists will be delighted with the hand-operated scoreboard on the left wall.
Brian Biagi, a Mac-Hi graduate and current Lewis-Clark State pitcher who grew up playing summer ball in the park, was impressed by the changes.
"This park, growing up, has always been here," said Biagi. "To see it come together like this is unbelievable, really. I can't believe that these people came in and made this place. It's a great venue for baseball."
General Manager Zachary Fraser said the renovations were to create a professional environment for players and fans.
"Over the course of the next couple weeks, as our staff gets used to running the stadium and being at (the) ballpark and our coaching staff gets used to our players, you'll start to see things get even more fined-tuned," Fraser said.
In front of the freshly painted blue bleachers, fans shook hands with the assembly of collegiate players, most of whom arrived in Walla Walla during the week.
Many of them recently wrapped up college ball, except for the three players from UCLA and UC-Irvine, who are still competing in the NCAAs.
Their smaller-school counterparts are a little fresher.
Right handed pitcher Jordan McLaughlin of Truman State University has been done with college ball since May 2 and is eager to get back on the diamond. Like his fellow hurlers, McLaughlin looks forward to throwing in the pitcher-friendly park and against wood bats.
"As a pitcher, I think I have the advantage," McLaughlin said. "I mean, I hate college metal bats because if you make a good pitch, they still get a hit off you. Wood bats are a little more true and if you make a good pitch it usually results well for the pitcher. Metal bats, it's a toss-up, it could go either way."
McLaughlin, who hails from St. John, Mo., is enjoying his time in southeastern Washington.
"I like it," said McLaughlin, who arrived Monday. "I like the scenery. Definitely got to get used to the mountains because of where I am from. It's certainly a cool place."
Living with a host family has not been a difficult transition for the 22-year-old.
"They treat me well and they have a little boy who is definitely looking forward to coming out to the game and seeing some baseball," he said.
Fraser said the team has already made efforts to build chemistry, including an impromptu bowling night set up by some of the players.
"It's kind of the thing you do with your high school and college team, but these guys are from all over the country and don't know each other at all," Fraser said. "To me that was a special sign that we have a special group of guys in terms that they are stepping up to make guys feel like they're part of a team and that they are going to have each others' backs when things get tough on the field."

Shadowfiend is a priest ability learned at level 42. It summons a combat Shadowfiend to fight with the priest for 12 seconds dealing shadow damage. Each time the pet lands an attack, the caster priest gains 3% of mana. A pet action bar appears for the priest to command and control its spells.
Using a sha-touched weapon will change the shadowfiend's appearance into that of a sha.
Modified by
- [Mindbender] (talent)
- The Shadowfiend receives 357-393% of your shadow damage bonus over the 15 second duration depending on 10 to 11 attacks, or 35.7% per hit for 10 hits.
- The Shadowfiend grants up to 11 hits per use, although this number is usually 10. Its attack speed is 1.5 and it has a 12 second duration. It is rare but possible for it to get one final attack as it expires if it spawned adjacent to your target.
- The Shadowfiends' attacks are shadow damage and can be partially resisted but follow normal melee damage rules, therefore being capable of critical strikes, but also susceptible to misses, parries, dodges and glancing blows. This reduces the damage output of Shadowfiends considerably on higher level mobs (especially in raid encounters) and in PvP versus classes with high melee mitigation or shadow resistance.
- Shadowfiends deal shadow damage. Therefore, their damage can be increased by debuffs on the shadowfiends' target that increase shadow damage taken (e.g. "Curse of Elements") resulting in greater damage.
- Patch 2.1 implemented a normal petbar for the priest to further help the priest control his/her shadowfiend. The bar functions as a normal petbar, with Attack/Stay/Follow and all three modes of Passive/Defensive/Aggressive. The shadowfiend will spawn next to the priest in Defensive mode with [Shadowcrawl] on autocast, and it will immediately attack the priest's current target. Despite Shadowcrawl being on autocast, it will almost never use the spell on its own.
- If the Shadowfiend's target dies, it may pick another target at random, or it may simply return to the priest's side, both of which will cause it to waste time and you forfeit valuable mana. Try to use the Shadowfiend on targets that will not die or otherwise become unattackable before it despawns.
- Shadowfiend takes on the buff of Bloodlust/Heroism if it is active when Bloodlust/Heroism is cast, and it will hit the mob faster and return more mana. When circumstances are conductive, using Shadowfiend shortly before Bloodlust/Heroism can yield a good deal of extra mana.
- A macro to have the Shadowfiend use [Shadowcrawl] on your current target immediately after being summoned can result in about an extra 560 damage over its duration in high-end raid gear. Additionally, macros bound to your other spells to have the shadowfiend re-cast Shadowcrawl can yield another 950 damage. With the talented 3 minute cooldown, these macros come out to a DPS gain of 8.4. Every little bit helps.
Patch changes
- Patch 4.2.0 (2011-06-28): Shadowfiend uses the new Assist pet stance functionality.
- Patch 4.1.0 (26-Apr-2011): Known issue: The Shadowfiend summon does not always attack targets effectively.
- Patch 3.3.0 (08-Dec-2009): [Avoidance] (passive): Now reduces the damage your pet takes from area-of-effect damage by 90%, but no longer applies to area-of-effect damage caused by other players.
- Patch 3.1.0 (14-Apr-2009): Health scaling increased. Now receives 30% of the master's spell power. Mana return increased to 5%, up from 4%. The Shadowfiend now returns mana when its melee attacks land, rather than when it deals damage. Movement speed normalized to player movement speed. Tooltip revised.
- Patch 2.1.2 (2007-06-19): This creature will now reset to full health when it is summoned. It will also automatically attack your current enemy target when it is summoned.
- Patch 2.1.0 (22-May-2007): This pet will now come into the game with full health and mana, including that gained from a percentage of its master's stamina and intellect.; The Shadowfiend will now correctly attack your target even if it is neutral or non-aggressive.; Increased the Shadowfiend's chance to hit higher level enemies.

Many poets have contributed to the greatness of City Lights, but few more so than North Beach's own Philip Lamantia (1927-2005). Lamantia published his earliest work in avant-garde magazines when he was 15, then at 16 went to NYC to join the war-exiled Paris surrealists. Known as the foremost American surrealist, he also played a role in the Beat Generation, participating in the Six Gallery reading in 1955 and influencing Ginsberg's Howl. From the '60s onward, he was published by City Lights. Collected Poems gathers all of his published work and key unpublished poems and includes an extensive biographical essay—everything you need in one package.
—Recommended by Garrett Caples, City Lights Books
The Collected Poems of Philip Lamantia represents the lifework of the most visionary poet of the American postwar generation. Philip Lamantia (1927-2005) played a major role in shaping the poetics of both the Beat and the Surrealist movements in the United States. First mentored by the San Francisco poet Kenneth Rexroth, the teenage Lamantia also came to the attention of the French Surrealist leader André Breton, who, after reading Lamantia's youthful work, hailed him as a "voice that rises once in a hundred years." Later, Lamantia went "on the road" with Jack Kerouac and shared the stage with Allen Ginsberg at the famous Six Gallery reading in San Francisco, where Ginsburg first read Howl. Throughout his life, Lamantia sought to extend and renew the visionary tradition of Romanticism in a distinctly American vernacular, drawing on mystical lore and drug experience in the process. The Collected Poems gathers not only his published work but also an extensive selection of unpublished or uncollected work; the editors have also provided a biographical introduction.

I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.
I get them all the time. Half the time I know my details are correct so I just trash it, nothing's ever come about it. But if I have the time, or I'm bored, I click the link, look at my details and then close out.
Received these a couple of times. Details were correct so I trashed the mail too.
I too keep getting such emails from time to time. But then I know that my details are correct so i dont care to even cross check it lol.
I received this email once on my 1and1.com account but never got it again
If your details are correct, you can ignore this email. But if they are not correct, I'd update the details.
I have never received such emails or maybe they go straight into spam (I rarely check spam)
Title says: "Urgent...Check ASAP!!!!!"
Message: Discover how I made $500/day 100% on auto pilot!!"
Then a crappy link to .info website. And the website is horribly made, full of spelling errors (kinda like my posts ), and product priced $2.
Maybe I should send them message with a link to Internet Marketing Basics" website. The website would say only this: "Do not spam others!"
If your details aren't correct you can just loose your domain, so I'd keep them accurate.
My details are correct so as soon i get one of these i just delete it.. get them from namecheap, godaddy etc..
