WALLA WALLA — City Council members voted 5-0 on Wednesday to hire current Washougal (Wash.) City Manager Nabiel Shawa as the next city manager. Council Members Shane Laib and Jim Barrow were absent.
"I have never felt as good about taking a job as I have in Walla Walla. It feels just right," Shawa said, adding his wife had the same sentiments. "My wife, Suzy, said 'You know that is a really cool town, and it's the friendliest town that I have been to in a long time.'"
Shawa will start on Oct. 19. He will fill a vacancy left by Duane Cole, who resigned in April. Support Services Director Tim McCarty has served as interim city manager since then.
Shawa will receive $140,000 per year, roughly $30,000 more than Cole, who earned just under $110,000 per year.
The city had advertised a salary range of $115,00 to $142,000 for the position.
Shawa is currently making $136,000 as city manger for Washougal, a town of about 13,000.
"I have 26 years of experience. And it (Shawa's future salary) is not just for being a city administrator for 26 years, it is also for what I have been able to accomplish at each place I worked," he said.
Shawa, a native of Washington, graduated from Washington State University with a degree in agricultural economics with a strong emphasis on futures, he said.
After graduating, he worked for agricultural businesses in the United States and overseas. But after returning from overseas, he said his father encouraged him to start a cranberry farm, which he did. Shawa added he owned and operated a cranberry farm until selling to become city manager of Washougal in 2004.
"Cranberries are the same genus as grapes," Shawa said. And he pointed out that like grapes, cranberries take a few years to produce a full crop, which meant he needed another source of income while his cranberries matured.
"I needed to find a job. And the little city of Longbeach, Wash., was hiring their very first administrator. Lo and behold I ended up being selected at the age of 26 as their first city administrator," he said.
Shawa, 52, has four children, ranging in age from 25-29, and four grandchildren, but he has no ties to Walla Walla, and will come here with no area friends or family.
"It takes a certain level of guts or faith to take a leap and go in to a community where there is nobody you know. But I am a Washington native," he added.
"It is also good to get out of your comfort zone. And every time I have done this in my life, not that I have moved a lot, I have ended up making wonderful friends and meeting great people," he said. He added that he and his wife will be looking at homes here this weekend.

November 25, 2015: Applying the Second Amendment to knives as arms and the groundbreaking Heller U.S. Supreme Court decision, the Wisconsin Court of Appeals reversed a lower court decision that it was illegal for someone to possess a switchblade (automatic) knife in their home. The court concluded that the Second Amendment protects knives as well as guns, one of Knife Rights' foundational principles.
You can read the court's decision here: http://www.wicourts.gov/ca/opinion/DisplayDocument.pdf?content=pdf&seqNo=155961
As such, this decision, albeit narrow as was required by Wisconsin law, held that at least with regards to switchblades at home, Wisconsin's ban is unconstitutional. Knife Rights believes such bans are entirely unconstitutional. Having said that, Knife Rights Wisconsin Knife Law Reform bill, AB 142, would remove this prohibition altogether, as well as enact Knife Law Preemption, resolving the issue entirely. AB 142 has passed the House and awaits a vote in the Senate.
The case arose when Cory Herrmann, the defendant, was injured in his home. Showing his switchblade knife to a friend, Herrmann dropped the knife and cut his femoral artery. After 911 was called, officers responding to the scene seized the switchblade and subsequently Herrmann was charged with illegal possession.
October 10, 2015: After Knife Rights shone a very bright spotlight on the absurd and draconian New Jersey Senate Bill 3416, the so-called "Big 5 Bill," it was significantly amended at yesterday's New Jersey Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee hearing! The delivery of Knife Rights' Position Paper detailing the bill's many flaws just before the start of the hearing resulted in shock and awe and an uproar on the part of the bill's sponsor and supporters as they were surprised and embarrassed by the revelations, and then frantically worked to amend out some of the bill's worst provisions. The amended bill passed out of the committee by a vote of 11 to 1 and while it is far from perfect and still would adversely affect some knife owners, it is nonetheless a massive improvement over the original legislation.
Hundreds of thousands of owners of knives, antiques, artwork, musical instruments, religious artifacts, firearms and accessories, jewelry, clothing, footwear, furniture, etc. would have become the New Jersey equivalent of felons under the original bill, merely for continuing to possess items legally purchased in the past. Also, orchestras, bands, circuses, and other performers would have no longer been able to legally perform in, or travel through New Jersey. The state's transportation infrastructure and hubs would have been adversely impacted. The state of New Jersey stood to lose potentially hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.
The amendments removed numerous onerous provisions, including a statewide ban of over 11,000 new species and the criminalization of mere possession or transportation through the state of any items, including knives and sheaths, which incorporated any part of those 11,000+ species (including many varieties of Mother of Pearl, exotic leathers and ivory (the latter already banned from trade in NJ)). All violations were to have been punishable by 3-5 years in jail, a $5-50K fine and loss of civil rights. Many knife owners would have been severely impacted by these provisions.
You can read the original bill at: www.kniferights.org/NJ_S3416.pdf You can review our submitted Opposition Position Paper that was delivered to the members of the committee immediately preceding the hearing at: www.kniferights.org/Knife_Rights_NJ_S3416_Opposition.pdf
November 1, 2015: Knife Rights' Oklahoma Knife Law Preemption bill, HB 1460, takes effect today. Combined with Knife Rights' Oklahoma Switchblade Carry Ban Repeal bill, HB 1911, that also takes effect today, preemption ensures that switchblade (automatic) knife carriers will not have to deal with local restrictions on automatics and that possession of all knives will be legal throughout the state.
Knife Law Preemption repeals and prevents local ordinances more restrictive than state law which only serve to confuse or entrap law-abiding citizens traveling within or through the state. Preemption ensures citizens can expect consistent enforcement of state knife laws everywhere in a state.
Daggers, Bowie knives and dirks are still prohibited from general carry in Oklahoma. Knife Rights still has some clean-up work to do in Oklahoma, but enactment of these two bills this year is a huge step forward for Oklahomans.
October 27, 2015: Knife Rights' Wisconsin Knife Law Reform Bill including Knife Law Preemption, AB 142, has passed the Assembly by a voice vote.
AB 142 removes all restrictions on switchblades and concealed carry of knives from Wisconsin statutes with the single exception that a person who is prohibited under state law from possessing a firearm may not go armed with a concealed knife that is a "dangerous weapon." Knife Law Preemption means that all laws more restrictive than the new state law will be voided and knife law will be consistent throughout the state.
An amendment was added to AB 142 that retains political subdivisions' ability to "[prohibit] the possession of a knife in a building, or part of a building, that is owned, occupied, or controlled by the political subdivision."
The Senate version of this bill, SB 102, has passed the Senate Committee on Judiciary and Public Safety and we expect a vote of the full Senate in the coming days.
October 15, 2015: Maine' LD 264, "An Act To Restore the Right To Possess Certain Knives That Are Used by Many Citizens as Tools," repealing the state's ban on switchblade (automatic) knives is now in effect. Maine is the ninth state to allow switchblades since Knife Rights started it Sharper Future campaign six years ago.
Automatic knives are now legal for civilians without restriction in 28 states, and legal with various restrictions in 10 more. Nine of those 28 states have been added by Knife Rights since 2010. Knife Rights passed the nation's first repeal of a automatic knife ban in 2010 in New Hampshire and has since passed repeal of automatic knife bans (and repealed other knife restrictions) in Alaska, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Missouri, Nevada, Tennessee and Texas. In Oklahoma,this year Knife Rights' legalized concealed carry of an switchblade (automatic) knife which goes into effect on November 1st.
Sept. 22, 2015: U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit unanimously ruled today that Knife Rights' Federal civil rights lawsuit against New York City and District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr. will proceed, reversing a District Court's erroneous dismissal of the case on procedural "standing" grounds. You can review the Second Circuit's decision at: http://www.kniferights.org/KRvNYC_Second_Circuit_Opinion.pdf
The Second Circuit ruled that Knife Rights' plaintiffs John Copeland, Pedro Perez, and Native Leather have the right to pursue their claims to end the unconstitutional manner in which the City and the DA have enforced state gravity knife law against honest individuals and businesses with regard to common folding knives.
Sept. 29, 2015: Knife Rights' comment opposing the irrational and abusive federal Ivory Ban was submitted yesterday. Click here to read the comment with its attachments. Thanks to everyone who submitted a comment to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service opposing the Ivory Ban. The Introduction and the Conclusion (Click "Read More>>>>" below) sums up the serious federal law violations and other practical issues with this proposed Ivory Ban rule.
Knife Rights abhors the poaching of all species. The proven solution is to attack poaching at the source and in the primary destinations for the illegal ivory, not punish lawful ivory owners in the U.S. who cannot have any effect on poaching in Africa. Successful anti-poaching programs in Africa have demonstrated that an integrated comprehensive approach that support law-enforcement in the field and encourages the locals to fight poaching does work to save elephants. Illegally stealing the investments of millions of Americans will not save a single elephant in Africa.

June 23, 2015: With the adjournment of the New York Legislature, Knife Rights and knife owners can chalk up two wins and one disappointing loss. Both the proposed Machete Ban and the Draconian Ivory Possession and Transportation Ban were defeated. The "fix" to the gravity knife statute that would end bogus New York City knife arrests did not pass when Senate Republicans refused to vote on the bill already passed overwhelmingly by the Democratic controlled Assembly (for the second year in a row).
However, the wins and loss come with an asterisk. All three bills will remain active through next year's session, beginning where they left off this year. So, we'll have to be back in Albany next year to again lobby against against both bills we defeated this year and to support the "fix" to the state's gravity knife law that didn't get over the finish line this year. Senate leadership has assured Knife Rights that they will consider a knife law reform bill next year.
Click on the links above for full details on each of the bills.
Sept. 1, 2015: Today is the effective date for Knife Rights' signature Knife Law Preemption bill in Texas. Several Texas cities will see their restrictive knife laws voided today. The new law invalidates all municipal and county knife ordinances more restrictive than state law, creating uniform knife laws throughout the Lone Star State. The new law also ensues that Knife Rights' repeal of the state's ban on switchblade (automatic) knives that was passed in 2013 will now have effect throughout the state.
The two Texas cities that made Knife Rights' "10 Worst Anti-Knife Cities in America" list for 2014, San Antonio at number four and Corpus Christi at number nine, have now been removed. Knife Rights Chairman Doug Ritter said, "Removing two of the nation's worst anti-knife cities from our list in a single act is an example of what can be done when we all work together towards greater freedom in America."
June 2, 2015: Knife Rights' Nevada Knife Law Reform Bill, SB 176, was signed by Governor Sandoval on June 1st. This act repeals existing bans on switchblade knives (longer than 2-inches), dirks, daggers and belt buckle knives and becomes effective on July 1, 2015.
Unfortunately, because preemption was dropped from the bill, citizens and travelers will still have to be wary of local regulations more restrictive than the new state law.
Nevada is the tenth state, the third this year, where Knife Rights has repealed knife bans. Knife Rights would like to express our sincere appreciation to our bill sponsor, Nevada State Senator James Settelmeyer, who guided this bill through a difficult legislative process.
Knife Rights' Knife Owners' Protection Act, S. 1315 (KOPA), passed a critical hurdle yesterday when it was voted out of the the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee. Passage by the Commerce Committee sets the measure up for consideration by the full Senate. KOPA protects travelers from a patchwork of conflicting state knife laws.
The result of five years of effort, Knife Rights conceived, drafted and developed the Knife Owners' Protection Act as the first proactive pro-knife federal legislation introduced in the nation's history. The Senate version of the bill is sponsored by Senators Mike Enzi (R-UT) with co-sposnors Senators. Ron Wyden (D-OR), Mike Lee (R-UT), Joe Manchin (D-WV), John Thune (R-SD) and Martin Heinrich (D-NM).
Knife Rights Chairman Doug Ritter noted, "This legislation will solve a real and growing problem that faces every knife owner traveling throughout America--the threat of arrest and prosecution under misguided local laws merely for possessing knives during lawful travel." KOPA will protect law-abiding knife owners traveling throughout the U.S. from a patchwork of restrictive state and local laws. As long as possession of the particular knife is legal where the journey starts and ends, and provided the knife is secured in accordance with KOPA, a knife owner would no longer be threatened with arrest simply for traveling from one place to another.
In response to Customs' attempt in 2009 to arbitrarily redefine what a switchblade was, Congress passed, and President Obama signed into law on October 28 2009, specific language protecting one-hand opening and spring-assisted knives from being included as switchblades under the 1958 Federal Switchblade Act.

George M. Lee, a partner at the San Francisco law firm of Seiler Epstein Ziegler & Applegate, wrote the "friend of the court" brief in the criminal matter of State of California v. Emmanuel Castillolopez on behalf of the civil rights organizations Knife Rights Foundation and Second Amendment Foundation.
"For simply having a common, everyday Swiss Army multi-tool with the blade open in his pocket, Mr. Castillolopez was charged, prosecuted, and convicted of a very serious crime," explained Lee. "We strongly believe that the Court of Appeal correctly held that the State's arguments are wrong on the law and hope the Supreme Court similarly disposes of the matter in its forthcoming decision."

July 16, 2015: Senators Steve Daines (MT) and Lamar Alexander (TN) have introduced S. 1769, the African Elephant Conservation and Legal Ivory Possession Act of 2015. This is companion legislation to HR 697 in the House of Representatives. These bills would end the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's unilateral moratorium on the trade in lawfully owned ivory, including ivory handled knives. It also strengthens measures to stop elephant poaching in Africa and punishes countries that smuggle illicit ivory.
Please CALL or EMAIL your Representative and Senators and ask them to Co-Sponsor the African Elephant Conservation and Legal Ivory Possession Act of 2015 (H.R. 697 or S.1769, respectively) to protect both elephants and Americans. You can find your U.S. legislators and send them all an email here: www.democracy.io
This bill is carefully tailored to allow the Administration to combat African elephant poaching and criminal organizations that sell illicit ivory in China. The bill protects innocent Americans who have complied with existing import prohibitions on ivory and the large stocks of ivory that have been in the United States for over 25 years. It protects the owners of knives, firearms, musical instruments, canes and a multitude of other items that include this decades-old legal ivory.

December 16, 2014: Since its inception, Knife Rights has had as a foundational position that knives are arms protected by the Second Amendment. While generally used as tools daily by millions of Americans, knives are also occasionally used as an "arm" to defend a person's life. Our logo declares these are "Essential Rights." However, actual court rulings on this issue are always appreciated. Recently the Connecticut Supreme Court has affirmed that knives are arms protected by the Second Amendment in a case with potential wider implications.
In its decision overturning a prior conviction, the Court held that "the second amendment protects the defendants right to possess the dirk knife
in his home and, second, that the statutes complete ban on transporting those items between residences unduly burdens that right." The Court further said, "[t]hus, the safe transportation of weapons protected by the second amendment is an essential corollary of the right to possess them in the home for self-defense when such transportation is necessary to effectuate that right."
December 29, 2014: With 2014 fading away, we look forward to the new year with great anticipation. In the waning months of this year we've been working hard getting ready for the 2015 legislative session. The coming weeks and months will see a record number of Knife Rights bills filed, building on the momentum we have achieved in the past six years.
Knife Rights' unprecedented record of success--19 legislative victories in 15 states in 6 years--has been a team effort made possible only because of your generous support. Our passion is fueled by you; we are forging a Sharper Future together. Please enjoy this short Knife Wars 2014 video.
November 19, 2014: In the past five years Knife Rights has
significantly improved knife ownership and carry in the United States, passing
15 pro-knife bills in 11 states. This first annual review of the worst and best
knife laws in America contrasts places where law-abiding knife owners enjoy
complete or substantial freedom with those places which restrict the freedom of
honest citizens by imposing arbitrary and irrational restrictions.The ratings were released at the National Assembly of Sportsmens Caucuses Sportsman - Legislator Summit held in Sunriver, Oregon.
The ten worst anti-knife cities stand out for their outright persecution of honest
knife owners and extraordinarily restrictive anti-knife ordinances, far more
severe and irrational than even the state laws in those areas. All too often
this results in unwary citizens being subject to arrest and prosecution, and
loss of their knives, for having a knife that is perfectly legal elsewhere in
the state.

Oct. 8, 2014: New York City's The Village Voice newspaper has published a front-page article, "Blade Stunner," slamming the City's persecution of knife owners. Journalist Jon Campbell's in-depth research provides a historical perspective and personalizes the unfortunate and serious impact the City's irrational and unconstitutional enforcement has had on citizens arrested and prosecuted for simply carrying a common folding knife.
One of the most shocking revelations in this article confirms Knife Rights' longstanding position that tens of thousands of citizens have been victimized by the City's outrageous enforcement practices. In the first estimate by an independent organization it reports that, "Village Voice analysis of data from several sources suggests there have been as many as 60,000 gravity-knife prosecutions over the past decade, and that the rate has more than doubled in that time. If those estimates are correct, it's enough to place gravity-knife offenses among the top 10 most prosecuted crimes in New York City."

This decision is getting a lot of attention, which is good, however... WARNING! Residents of New York City and those traveling there should NOT take this as meaning that they can now carry any folding knife they want. (Click Read More >>>> below for details)
The first detailed scholarly analysis of knives and the Second Amendment has been published in the University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform (vol. 47, pages 167-215). Authored by noted Second Amendment scholars Dave Kopel, Clayton Cramer and Joe Olson, the paper makes the case for knives as "arms" protected by the Second Amendment, supporting one of Knife Rights' foundational tenets.
Knife Rights applauds these scholars for this long-overdue effort. This is a great start on the sort of scholarly work that needs to be done to assist in potential legal cases down the road. The arguments made and supported in this article will also support our legislative efforts to roll back knife bans and oppose proposed new restrictions on knives.

Knife Rights is spearheading a Federal Civil Rights lawsuit, originally filed in June 2011, against New York City and New York County District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr. over their wrongful harassment of knife owners, retailers and manufacturers. As
this lawsuit works its way forward, we will post newsworthy events and links to
articles, motions and other relevant information here (Click on "Read
More >>>>" below for links).
Lawsuit Summary: The lawsuit challenges New York
Citys and District Attorney Vances attempt to criminalize as contraband the
most widely-owned pocket knives in America -- one-hand opening and assisted
opening folding knives -- under state laws prohibiting switchblades and gravity
knives. The case seeks a judicial determination that the New York State laws regarding switchblades and gravity knives are unconstitutionally vague as applied by
NYC and the DA to these common pocket knives (which are distinct from gravity
knives and switchblades because of their bias towards closure). Knife Rights'
lawsuit intends to stop New York City officials from abusing this vague state
law to make bogus arrests of law-abiding citizens carrying common pocket
knives, and from coercing knife retailers into making huge payments to avoid
prosecution.(Click on "Read More >>>>" below for links to background articles)
Status Summary as of Sept. 22, 2015: U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit unanimously ruled today that Knife Rights' Federal civil rights lawsuit against New York City and District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr. will proceed, reversing a District Court's erroneous dismissal of the case on procedural "standing" grounds.

rican ninja89's Weekly Recap - Jan 12 2015
It is that time of the week. I got your weekly recap right here: I told rican ninja89 that 4 days of playing would be ideal... so last week there was some extra effort to get us there. Good job! We added 110 points of gamerscore. Good stuff! Who knew 384 achievements could be worth that much? Ok I knew that... Also, according to the records, rican ninja89's favorite game last week was LEGO® Marvel. He played it on 2 of the days.
And that's all I got. I'm not a writer... just an Xbox.

B.H. "Bert" Born, who made his basketball name in Kansas and then made his home in Peoria for nearly 60 years, died unexpectedly Sunday night. He was 80.
Born was a 6-foot-9 all-American at the University of Kansas before he went to work for Caterpillar, Inc., and led the company's basketball team to two national AAU championships during the 1950s.
As a junior at Kansas, Born led the Jayhawks to the 1953 NCAA championship game, where they lost by one point to Indiana after he fouled out in the final minutes. Despite the loss, Born was voted Most Outstanding Player of the tournament after he posted a statistical triple-double — 26 points, 15 rebounds and 13 blocked shots — in the title game.
He was only the second player from a non-championship team to win the award. That feat has been matched only nine subsequent times, and not at all since 1983.
After graduating in 1954, Born briefly considered playing in the NBA. But a trip that summer to play summer ball in the Catskills of New York proved instructive for him — and ultimately productive for his alma mater.
"Red Auerbach was one of the coaches," Born told the Journal Star in 2003. "He told this kid from Philadelphia, 'You're going up against an all-American (Born), and he'll probably eat you up.'"
According to Born, the kid "could really play. He was tall, and he could jump. Once, he even hit his head on the bottom of the rim-holder. They had to stop play and put a bandage on his head and wipe up the blood. His name was Wilt Chamberlain.
"Well, I figured if a high school kid was that big and that good, I'd better get a real job."
So Born, who would help talk Chamberlain into attending Kansas, called Warren Womble, coach of Caterpillar's basketball team and announced his availability. He played the next five seasons for the Cats in the powerful National Industrial Basketball League and retired from play as the team's all-time scoring and rebounding leader.
Born worked for 43 years in Caterpillar's personnel department and never moved back to Kansas, although he remained a loyal native of the Sunflower State and a staunch Jayhawks fan.
"After I spent a few years here, I fell in love with the company," Born once said. "The people were great, and I couldn't imagine living anywhere else."
Born's basketball uniform is one of those retired by KU and hangs in famed Allen Fieldhouse. Born is a member of the KU Athletics Hall of Fame, the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame and the Greater Peoria Sports Hall of Fame.
Funeral arrangements are being handled by The Wilton Mortuary in Peoria.

The invention relates to a domestic appliance comprising a read device and
at least one information card, the latter containing a code arrangement
that can be read by the read device and that controls the domestic
appliance. The code arrangement consists of conductive organic polymers.
1. Domestic appliance comprising a reading device and at least one
information card, wherein the information card contains a code
arrangement which can be read by the reading device and which serves to
control the domestic appliance, and wherein the code arrangement
comprises conductive organic polymers; and wherein the reading device is
formed such that it reads out the code arrangement by means of a
capacitive coupling to the information card.
2. The domestic appliance according to claim 1, wherein the information card comprises at least one flexible substrate layer which is composed of paper or film.
3. The domestic appliance according to claim 1, wherein the code arrangement is invisibly embedded between two substrate layers.
4. The domestic appliance according to claim 2 wherein the information card is printed on its top side, underside, or both sides.
5. The domestic appliance according to claim 1, wherein the information card is of flexible formation.
6. The domestic appliance according to claim 1, wherein the conductive organic polymers consist of PEDOT.
7. The domestic appliance according to claim 1, wherein the conductive organic polymers consist of PANI.
8. (canceled)
9. The domestic appliance according to claim 1, wherein the conductive organic polymers are produced by means of a mass printing process selected from the group consisting of a letterpress, an intaglio and a planographic printing process.
[0001]The invention relates to a domestic appliance with a reading device
and at least one information card, wherein the information card contains
a code arrangement which can be read by the reading device and which
serves to control the domestic appliance.
[0002]Today wide use is made of a large number of domestic appliances, such as washing machines, laundry driers, dishwashers, stoves, ovens and microwave ovens, that are controlled by complex electronic systems. The user is in a position to influence the particular processing programme individually by manually adjusting, for example, the processing time, temperatures, etc. When making these adjustments, the user must take into account the properties of the article to be processed (laundry item, frozen pizza, etc.), but also the properties of additives, for example detergent, degree of water hardness, etc. The adjustments may influence the process as a whole for the entire duration thereof or may take effect only time-selectively (example: the oven is to be operated first of all for 10 minutes in circulating-air operation at 180° C. and then for 5 minutes with upper heat at 210° C.).
[0003]In order to facilitate such adjustments, it is already known from EP-A-1 622 425 to connect a bar code reading device to a kitchen device, for example a microwave oven, and to activate the device by inserting a bar code card.
[0004]However, an optical reading device is required for reading the bar code and this is relatively complex and therefore also expensive to produce. In the case of simple bar code readers having a slot reader with CCD elements, there is the additional problem of the optical elements becoming soiled very quickly through paper dust. The actual bar code can also become impossible to read through overwriting, dirt, adhesive labels etc.
[0005]The object of the invention is therefore to provide a code arrangement for an information card for controlling a domestic appliance which can be read with a simple and inexpensive reading device. Furthermore, it should also be possible to produce the information card and in particular the code arrangement thereof in a simple and inexpensive manner.
[0006]This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1.
[0007]The domestic appliance according to the invention has a reading device and at least one information card, the information card containing a code arrangement which can be read by the reading device and which serves to control the domestic appliance. Here the code arrangement comprises conductive organic polymers.
[0008]An inexpensive reading device which reads out the code arrangement, for example by means of an inductive, a capacitive or an ohmic coupling, is in particular possible through the code arrangement. There is also the possibility of printing the code arrangement and, in this connection, of using, in particular, mass printing processes.
[0009]Further configurations of the invention constitute the subject matter of the subordinate claims.
[0010]According to one preferred embodiment, the information card consists of two flexible substrate layers which can consist in particular of paper or of film. The code arrangement can in this case be invisibly embedded between the two substrate layers. This results in the possibility of forming or printing the information card on its top side and/or underside in a completely free manner. Suitable conductive organic polymers are, for example, PEDOT or PANI.
[0011]When compared with a bar code, the code arrangement comprising conductive organic polymers also has above all the advantage of reliable readability as the structure can be disposed in a protected manner between two substrate layers.
[0012]Further advantages and configurations of the invention are explained in detail in the following on the basis of the description and the drawings.
[0013]In the drawings
[0014]FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the domestic appliance with an information card,
[0015]FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional representation along the line A-A of FIG. 3 and
[0016]FIG. 3 is a sectional representation along the line B-B of FIG. 2.
[0017]FIG. 1 shows a domestic appliance 1 and a reading device 2, the reading device 2 being either integrated in the domestic appliance or connectable as an external device to the domestic appliance. The connection can be effected via a cable or in a contactless manner. An information card 3 can be inserted into the reading device 2. The information card 3, which is represented in more detail in FIGS. 2 and 3, comprises a code arrangement 4 which serves to control the domestic appliance 1 in order to achieve a specific objective.
[0018]The information card 3 preferably consists of two flexible substrate layers 5, 6 which can in particular consist of paper or film. The code arrangement 4 is advantageously invisibly embedded between the two substrate layers 5, 6, as can be seen from FIG. 2. Joining can be effected by lamination, for example, or in another way. The code arrangement 4 comprises conductive organic polymers, for example PEDOT or PANI.
[0019]The information cards can be produced particularly inexpensively if the conductive organic polymers are produced by means of a mass printing process, in particular a letterpress, an intaglio or a planographic printing process.
[0020]Since the code arrangement is embedded between the two substrates, it is possible to form or to print the top side and/or underside 6a, 5a of the information card in any desired manner without having to keep a certain area free for a code arrangement.
[0021]Various configurations of the reading device 2 are conceivable for reading the code arrangement. For example, particular possibilities are an inductive or a capacitive coupling, but also an ohmic contact.
[0022]The object of the invention is to enable, in a simple and inexpensive manner, the information necessary for programming the domestic appliance to be read directly into the system without manual intervention. For this purpose, the information is deposited on the information card which is provided with the products (such as, for example, frozen pizza, detergent, etc.) by the manufacturer. By inserting the information card, the stored information is automatically passed on to the appliance control system.
[0023]It is particularly attractive to manufacture the information cards with a code arrangement which can be printed by means of mass printing processes, so that costs remain within realistic bounds for everyday products.
[0024]The information card can be enclosed, for example, as a separate card with the article (frozen food) or can be integrated in the surrounding packaging. The card is then separated from the surrounding packaging and inserted into the reading device.
[0025]In the case of washing machines, it would be possible for the manufacturer to enclose information cards for the various programmes and for the user to select the programme cards which he normally wishes to use. It is thus possible to activate the appliance in a very rapid and simple manner.

2005 Cadillac CTS • 78,000 miles
I have a cts with timing chain problems and one dealer wants to replace the cam chaft actuators and the seals around the spark plug gaskets. Another dealer did not quote those parts and did not think the actuators need to be replaced. What other parts should be replaced while they are in replacing the timing chains.
February 18, 2013.
February 18, 2013.
The timing chain is making noise but has not broken yet, the car is having hesitation problems, etc. A while back the car fouled a plug but they stated that they did not see any signs of any other issues at that time. No oil was on plug and car did fine until it started this which seems like the same type of hesistation issue as before. No code in computer either time.
Feb 18, 2013.
Feb 18, 2013.
It could be low fuel pressure or an egr problem likepartial blockage, but if it's making noise it shold be looked at. The other dealer that wanted to change theactuators may have thought that they were sticking or there may be a tsb on them which I currently don't see. The fuel pressure shold be 55-60 psi. If the plug is fouling then that seal should be replaced if it has done it twice.

" Brand: Cif / Type: All Purpose Cleaner / Subcategory: Cleaning Spray / Category: Cleaning & Disinfectant "
* Prices may differ from that shown
I recently bought this in Asda as it was on offer for £1 where as it usually costs £2.75, I have no idea why it was so cheap as the other varieties were full price so I decided to take advantage. This product is available in a green colour, a blue colour and the yellow one which I have which is Lemon and Green Tea.
The product comes in a plastic bottle which is not totally see through but is a sort of frosted bottle, the top of the bottle is a spray top for you to administer the product which is turned to off but is simply a case of turning the small nozzle on the spray when you want to use it.
On the front of the bottle it states that there are 5 benefits with this spray which are,
Cuts through kitchen grease
Removes bathroom dirt
Kills 99.9% of bacteria and flu viruses
Sparkling clean
Lemon and green tea fragrance
The ingredients of the spray are "Cif Anti-Bacterial Spray Liquid contains amongst other ingredients:,Disinfectant: Benzalkonium Chloride 0.75g per 100g ,< 5% Cationic Surfactants, Nonionic Surfactants, Phosphates, Perfume" you must be very careful only to use one product at a time when cleaning and to follow the instructions very carefully, near where we live a lady used bleach and toilet cleaner at the same time and was hospitalised due to a chemical reaction which burnt her throat.
I use this product on my kitchen benches mainly as it is suitable for a food preparation area but also as we have a cat who walks on the benches and cats can carry a lot of bugs, I make sure I use a antibacterial spray at least once a day to keep germs under a safe level as there is no way you can get rid of them all. I find that the benches are left shiny and the only thing I am not keen on with this product is the smell I think I will go back to the original version next time, the smell does have a little whiff of lemon but smells more like a hospital to me. The spray is very good and gives a good amount of product out with each spray and it sprays a good distance to spread the product out well and therefore you don't need much to clean a full kitchen.
I will buy this product again although there are also others that I will buy it really just depends what is on offer at the time, I won't be buying this fragrance again though.
I am quite particular that I always have some form of antibacterial spray in my kitchen and I use it to wipe down my kitchen work tops a few times a day as a rule. The product I have been using for the past month is cif antibacterial multi purpose spray. Although I hadn't used or seen this particular product before I was aware of the cif brand and felt it was reputable and of good quality so I was confident in giving this product a try.
The product comes in a large 750ml clear plastic bottle. As with many other bottles of its type it has a thin neck to make it easy to hold whilst using the spray. The bottle has a large label featuring the cif logo, the product name and some of the uses of the product. We are told that the antibacterial multi purpose spray has five main benefits which are listed as:
-it cuts through kitchen grease
-it removes bathroom dirt
-it kills 99.9% of bacteria and flu viruses
-it leaves surfaces sparkling clean
-it has a fresh fragrance
To use this spray you first need to turn the nozzle around so that it is on the on position and then you can spray it wherever you need it. I spray it on to my kitchen work tops, oven and even the cupboard doors sometimes and then leave it for a few minutes before wiping it away with a damp cloth. Although this product claims to have a fresh fragrance I have to say that I find the smell very strong and not really nice at all. It smells clean I guess, but it is just so overpowering in my opinion and could do with being less so. Despite the strong smell I continue to use this product as I do think it does a good job of cleaning and protecting my surfaces from nasty germs. What is also good to know is that the spray is suitable for use on food preparation areas.
When I use this product on my hob I find that if left for a few minutes it is pretty effective at making grease and spills easy to wipe away. I also find it is great at brightening up my stainless steel sink and draining board and making it look all shiny again.
Of course with any product of this kind there are a few safety precautions to note and these are as follows:
-keep the product away from children
-keep away from the eyes. If it does come into contact with the eyes you should rinse them thoroughly with water.
-avoid breathing in the spray
-do not use on painted surfaces, marble or linoleum
-rinse immediately after use on plastics
I personally have found this product to be effective at doing the job it is intended to for and should you be interested in purchasing it you can pick it up for around two pounds from the large supermarkets. I personally will be trying a different product when this runs out purely because the initial strong smell is just a bit off putting for me. Despite this I would still award the product four stars as it does a good job and helps you protect and clean your surfaces.
Thank you for reading my review!
When it comes to keeping my kitchen clean it can be a chore as I have 3 cats and 2 dogs! Now even though the cats are generally out and about they obviously leave fur lying around and as for the dogs they are regularly in this part of the house so they manage to leave hair and dirt around. I can be a bit OCD when it comes to keeping both my kitchen and bathroom clean and I will clean them at least every other day and I will always wipe down my kitchen surfaces nearly every time I am in the kitchen. By doing this I do tend to get through quite a few cleaning products! I am not loyal to one particular brand and tend to buy what is on offer unless I have used it before and it has bee dreadful.
A few months ago I opted for Cif Multi-Purpose Antibacterial Spray which I chose purely because it was reduced at Tesco. The multi-purpose antibacterial spray is said to cut through both kitchen and bathroom dirt, making it an ideal choice as it can be used in most places throughout the home. What I really liked when reading the back of the bottle was that it has a non bleach formula and as I can have sensitive skin my skin can react with bleach and especially with having various pets I always try to opt for items that don't contain bleach.
** Cif **
Cif or formerly Jif (name changed in 2001) as it once known originally started out in France before coming to the UK in 1974 and is now owned by Unilever. Since coming to the UK it has gone from strength to strength by widening its product range regularly with items such as Cif Actifizz and Cif Power Cream.
** Packaging **
Cif Multi-Purpose Antibacterial Spray comes in a clear plastic spray nozzled bottle. On the front of the bottle are images such as a kitchen hob and a bathroom sink. The brightly coloured Cif logo is also depicted on the front together with the word 'antibacterial' clearly labelled across the front. On the back is all the usual information you would expect such as instructions.
** Using it **
This is the really simple bit! Simply spray onto the work surface/ toilet/ sink etc and simply wipe over with a cloth! The liquid is a very pale green almost turquoise colour which goes onto the surfaces clear. There is quite a strong aroma to this antibacterial spray which is a cross between a typical cleaner type smell but it is also quite a fresh scent which I certainly don't mind smelling once my kitchen or bathroom is clean - the scent does linger for quite sometime.
Now my kitchen or bathroom is never really dirty unless my other half has been cooking and the tiles at the back of the hob are splattered with whatever he is cooking but even when this is dried on and may be slightly oily this spray really doesn't have any issues clearly it in one wipe. Another thing my other half does is every time he makes a cup of coffee he ends up leaving a coffee ring on the work surface, normally I find a bleach based cleaner works the best on these but this antibacterial spray manages to get rid of them easily without any hard scrubbing.
I use this spray on my stainless steel kitchen sink after I have washed up and put all the dry dishes away as I cannot stand water marks on stainless steel. This spray works wonders it makes both the taps and the draining board sparkling clean and shiny. Certainly no water marks are left.
This is certainly a great household spray and not only does it do a great job in both my kitchen and bathrooms but it is great to use on my front and back doors together with my window frames. The spray manages to get rid of any dirt, watermarks and scuffs that may happen (especially on the doors) without any problems whatsoever. The spray doesn't leave any residue behind on any surface (even tiles).
** Price and Availability **
Cif Multi-Purpose Antibacterial Spray comes in a 750ml bottle and is available in all good supermarkets and discount stores. Prices range from around £2.00 - £3.00 depending where you get it from.
** Overall **
A fantastic household spray which I will definitely be buying again. I can't fault it in any way. It manages to clear general day to day grime without any issues and it also has a fresh, pleasant aroma which makes a nice change from some cleaners. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.
I've decided to review Cif Multi-Purpose Anti-bacterial spray, which is manufactured by Unilever UK. This has to be one of the best cleaners I've ever used, particularly for cleaning troublesome areas. As you probably know, Jif was renamed Cif in 2001.
The problem I experience with many cleaners is that very few actually remove grease and grime with just one spray and so little effort. I remember spending a fortune on one particular brand name (can't remember which now) and I ended up using nearly quarter of a bottle trying to clean my bath.
This would be quite understandable if my bath was dirty and hadn't been cleaned for months, but my bath is cleaned twice a week so should not really need much cleaner. In my opinion, the worst problem with cleaning the bath is that horrible build-up of soap scum that accumulates around the edges.
Cif Multi-Purpose Anti-bacterial comes in a 750ml plastic bottle with a trigger spray. Whilst there are dozens of different bathroom cleaners on the supermarket shelves, I always find Cif easily as out stands out from the others with its' bold green, white and red logo.
The front of the bottle states that in addition to the product having a fresh fragrance, it kills 99.99% of bacteria and is suitable for food preparation areas and for use all around the house.
To use, I simply spray the area and leave for five minutes. The green liquid is dispensed extremely well through the trigger, as I find some sprays tend to "dribble" from the spray device and leak all over my hands.
I particularly liked this product due to the liquid being green which I thought I would be able to see once I'd sprayed as I always tend to forget where I've put the spray. Unfortunately, the liquid is clear when dispensed, so I have to guess where I've sprayed, which I sometimes find awkward, particularly on larger areas, such as the bath.
After the product has been sprayed and left for five minutes, I find I only need to gently rub the bath as opposed to scrubbing which I've had to do with other brands. The grease and grime are easily removed and the bath is left totally gleaming. You then need to rinse or wipe the surface with a damp sponge.
I totally agree with the manufacturer's claim, as this product is extremely freshly fragranced, as my rooms smell delightfully clean when I've used this.
As this product is multi-purpose, I keep one in both my bathroom and kitchen. I find it perfect for cleaning floor tiles, particularly my black bathroom glossed tiles. My bathroom floor tends to get a little grubby with me constantly dropping eye shadow and talcum powder, but this cleaner removes all marks without much elbow grease.
I find this product perfect for cleaning the kitchen work surfaces, particularly if I've been cooking a Sunday roast and have splashed grease and oil. It effectively removes any spillages and leaves a subtle fresh fragrance.
What I love about this product is that it's a non-bleach formula so it's a little kinder to your hands than sound of the other brands available.
As per the rear of the bottle, Cif state the ingredients of this product are "Disinfectant: Benzalkonium Chloride 0.75g per 100g, less than 5% Cationic Surfactants, Nonionic Surfactants, Phosphates, Perfume"
This product cannot be used on painted surfaces, marble or linoleum. You are able to recycle the bottle after use.
Cif Multi-Purpose Anti-bacterial spray sells at £2.86 for a 750 ml in Tesco. Whilst I appreciate this is quite expensive, I find a bottle lasts me for months, as you don't need to use much.
As this is such an extremely effective cleaner I give it 5 out of 5 dooyoo stars.
I hope you found my review useful and would thank you for reading.

You are not alone. Each year, many women experience sexual harassment at work. It's not just upsetting--it's illegal.
Sexual harassment violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The law states that:
1. Sexual harassment is unwanted sexual attention at work. It includes touching you, saying sexual things to you, asking for sex, or making advances toward you.
2. Sexual harassment is illegal if:
"What if nobody else saw it happen?" The law still protects you.
"What if I didn't lose my job?" The law still protects you.
"What if the harasser is not my boss, but rather a coworker or client?" The law still protects you.
"What if I sometimes played along and submitted to sexual behavior but clearly didn't want to?" The law still protects you.
"What if it happened only once, but was serious--like unwanted touching of my private body parts?" The law still protects you.
What Can You Do If You Are Sexually Harassed?
Say "NO" clearly. Tell your harasser to stop. Tell your harasser that you do not want the sexual attention. If it happens again, send a letter telling your harasser to stop, and keep a copy for yourself.

Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 3 1/2 to 6 hours
Yield: 6 servings (4 ribs per serving)
2 racks pork back ribs (21/2 to 3 pounds each), cut into 3- or 4-rib sections
2 cups hoisin sauce*
1 cup pineapple juice
3 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
3 tablespoons sesame oil*
3 scallions, thinly sliced (optional)
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted* (optional)
In medium bowl, combine hoisin sauce, pineapple juice, ginger and sesame oil. Arrange ribs in a slow cooker and pour half of the sauce mixture over ribs. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or on high for 31/2 to 4 hours, until ribs are very tender. Set remaining sauce aside in refrigerator.
About 1/2 hour before ribs are done, remove sauce from refrigerator, to bring it to room temperature.
Arrange ribs on plates or a platter and brush both sides with some of the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with scallions and sesame seeds, if using. Serve remaining sauce at the table.
* You can find hoisin sauce and sesame oil in the ethnic or Asian section of most major supermarkets.
Serving suggestions:
Serve these ribs in the Hawaiian plate lunch style, with a scoop of white rice, macaroni salad, or slaw on the side. They'd also be good alongside a simple carrot salad or a few slices of grilled pineapple.
Recipe from: National Pork Board

Police: Teen in stolen car planned to make meth
When police found William Pruneau, 19, in a stolen car, they say he was carrying a 2-liter bottle filled with clear liquid and a backpack containing the contents of cold compresses, lithium batteries and Drano. Pruneau allegedly told police he was going to start cooking meth as soon as he got some pseudoephedrine. He was with four other occupants in the stolen car, but he told police the people he was with did not know he planned to make drugs.

Only an idiot would drive on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus
The woman who drove on a sidewalk to pass a school bus that was unloading children started serving her very public sentence today. For an hour today and tomorrow, Shena Hardin, 32, must hold a sign reading: "Only an idiot would drive on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus." The Cleveland woman was caught on camera and cited for the misdemeanor on Sept. 11. Hardin's license was suspended for 30 days and she was ordered to pay $250 in court costs.
Check your email. Some tax bills were sent electronically.
For the first time in Greene County, some personal property tax bills were distributed via email. Residents who paid bills online last year received the electronic statements. The rest received paper statements, but can pay the bill online to be added to the electronic statement distribution. The emailed bill asks the recipient to respond that the electronic bill is all they need. If that indication is not given, a paper statement will be mailed.

No Pom, that is the way it is done in the adult world. I could go into a business meeting with someone that I personally do not care for ,but we are going to do business anyway...and with that said I will shake their hand and say "Good morning" and I expect the same in return even if we both know the words are hollow. Now if I say hello and they say go F yourself then the tone of the meeting is definitely going to slide. If you want to ask me a question then at least act like a civilized adult while you are asking it After I answer your question then if you wish you can go back to the pack mentality that governs this board and rip me to pieces. Fair enough?
What do i think of Lexifone? I think absolutely nothing of Lexifone as I would any company that I do not have any numbers on. What am I to base my evaluation on?...press releases? Unless the press release is stating some data that would hold up in a court of law then they are self serving and worthless to me as a business man. I could line up the press releases from 20 companies in the same business and all their press releases are going to say that they are #1. Obviously 19 or maybe even 20 of them are not telling the truth. Geeze, PYN was the mobile leader till the end. If that was so, then I would hate to see the shape #2 is in.
If one person said that INT's investment is really only worth $100,000 and the next person say's it is worth $100,000,000, my answer is still going to be that I have no idea. Give me some internal numbers and I will evaluate it. Without numbers it is a black box and quite frankly I do not invest in or give any weight one way or the other to black boxes. If you have some hard data then please give me a link and i will tell you what I think of it. To date all I have read is Safe Harbour statements filled with hopes and dreams....Yes, black boxes.

Officers in schools might be the difference
School and police officials say posting officers on campuses might help prevent school massacres, officials say.
For years, local police agencies either have assigned officers to high schools or allowed off-duty cops to work - in uniform and carrying their service weapons - on campus during the school day.
Sometimes called school resource officers, the police officers and sheriff's deputies patrol the halls, investigate complaints and work with school administrators to create security plans or discuss potential problems at school.
Even when off duty, they have full arrest powers and act as first responders to crimes on campus, said Tacoma police spokesman Mark Fulghum.
Public high schools in Tacoma, Federal Way and many in Pierce County have law enforcement officers on campus during the school day. Some districts also hire off-duty police officers to provide security at sporting events and dances.
"They're a visible presence at the schools, and students can approach them and talk to them about things," Fulghum said. "If they hear rumors, they can investigate them before something gets started. We can start looking into it right away."
Federal Way School District spokeswoman Diane Turner said city police officers assigned to the district's five high schools provide "a great benefit."
Jesse Hotz is a Pierce County sheriff's deputy assigned to work as a school resource officer in the Bethel School District. Hotz said he serves as a mentor and role model for students in addition to assisting with incidents on school premises.
"One of the great benefits of being a school resource officer is you get to know these kids," he said. "When you run into them in the community you know them, and they know you."
That allows him to spot troubled students, assess the threat and try to help them, he said.
While school resource officers have been around for some time, local law enforcement agencies recently changed the way they plan to react in case of a school shooting.
The first patrol officers or deputies on the scene will now hunt down and take out the shooter, instead of surrounding the school and waiting for SWAT teams to arrive. The change was made after the 1999 Columbine High School shootings in Colorado, where two teenage boys continued killing students and teachers while patrol officers set up outside the school.
Earlier this month, 200 Bethel School District students and teachers joined local authorities to stage a mock shooting at Bethel High School. The drill allowed law enforcement officers to put their new policies into practice and gave school officials the opportunity to test their communications and evacuation plans.
"We do have a protocol and system in place in the event this should happen," said Principal Wanda Riley. "The bottom line is to save as many lives as possible."
Still, schools and law enforcement agencies can't guard against every possibility, Fulghum said.
"You're not going to stop everything," he said. "I don't think there's one answer for stopping everything."

10 Celebrity Mom Transformations From Kim Kardashian To Amber Rose, And Kate Middleton! (Photos)Joanna Mazewski
They say that motherhood changes you into a better person and quite frankly, we believe it. For many mothers out there, the sleepless nights they used to have from partying at the clubs with their girlfriends are now sleepless nights they have taking care of their babies. And for some parents, that's a lifestyle transformation they don't mind at all (I mean, just ask Snooki!).
From Kim Kardashian to Jessica Simpson, and even Kate Middleton, not only have these celebrity moms have gone through some major changes in their lives now that they are moms or becoming mothers, but their entire approach on their style, their careers, and even their habits have completely changed. I for one know myself that it's been years since I've worn short shorts or had leftover pizza for breakfast. As a mother, I would rather wear a comfortable pair of yoga pants and eat something nutritious with my kids to start off every morning (I'm sure all you parents know what I mean!).
Take a look at some of our favorite celebrity moms from the past few years and the transformations they have made in not only their style, but their entire outlook on life as well. What else can I say other than motherhood simply makes us more awesome than what we already are.
Playboy Bunny 1 of 20She used to be one of Hugh Hefner's leading ladies and now...
Holly Madison 2 of 20Holly Madison is a Disney-obsessed pregnant mama-to-be!
Kourtney Kardashian 3 of 20Before her sister Kim's rise to fame, we had no clue who Kourtney Kardashian was.
Kourtney Kardashian 4 of 20And now she's one of our favorite celebrity moms and household names!
Chart Topper 5 of 20Before the pregnancies and the Weight Watchers deals, Jessica Simpson was one of our favorite Texan chart toppers.
Jessica Simpson 6 of 20And now she's a celebrity mom and multi-million-dollar fashion maven!
This Life 7 of 20When we were first introduced to Claire Danes, it was all about her "so called life..."
Claire Danes 8 of 20And now she's one of our favorite working moms and the star of every mom's must-watch show, Homeland.
Disney Starlet 9 of 20Before mama hood, Hilary Duff was one of our favorite Disney starlets and singers.
Hilary Duff 10 of 20And now she's a busy working mama who loves taking her baby Luca to mommy and me classes.
Model Mom 11 of 20Before the baby bump pictures AND Kim Kardashian, Amber Rose was Kanye West's main gal.
Amber Rose 12 of 20And now she's a glowing and happy mama-to-be who just happens to be expecting a baby at the same time as her ex-boyfriend!
The Jersey Shore 13 of 20Before the sleepless nights, the diapers, and the breastfeeding, Snooki ruled the Jersey Shore.
Snooki 14 of 20And now she's a wonderful celebrity mom who would rather be at home with her baby than out at the club with her friends!
Before Becoming a Duchess… 15 of 20Kate Middleton was a party hopper in London who tried to win back her ex-boyfriend Prince William with some very skimpy outfits in the tabloids.
Kate Middleton 16 of 20And now she is the mother of the future king or queen of England!
Paris Hilton's Best Friend 17 of 20Before the reality shows, all we knew about Kim Kardashian was that she was Paris HIlton's best friend and club buddy.
Kim Kardashian 18 of 20And now she is one of the most celebrated reality television stars in the world.
Destiny's Child 19 of 20Before Jay-Z and Blue Ivy, Beyonce was all about her bandmates and her single ladies.
