Toilet Bowl Rim Leak
Greetings to all! I need some help so here goes. Back in June my water bill spiked to nearly $300.00. Fearing the worst I called a plumber who came out and checked for leaks. He told me my two toilets were the culprit and kept running water so I replaced the guts inside each and voila! July and August went by and the water bill returned to normal. This past weekend the water bill is back up to 300.00. I checked the toilets! My guest toilet is fine but the master bedroom toilet is my issue. Water is leaking from the rim of the toilet bowl into the bowl itself. When I shut the water supply to the toilet off I still get leaking water into the bowl. What gives?! I installed the guts properly. If the water supply is shut off and it still leaks would this add to my water bill? Is the main water supply not shutting off and still feeding water into the bowl? The tank itself does not seem to be losing any water. I will add back in February I had my bathroom floors re tiled and the toilet bowls were removed from the floor and resealed when the job was complete with new wax wings. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!
It's the flap valve in the tank. It won't appear to be losing water in the tank because it will keep refilling as it leaks into the bowl.
He's right, that's the only way I know of that water can get into the rim of the bowl. Through the flapper. Maybe your flush valve is cracked or damaged. What exactly do you mean by "replaced all the guts" ?? Maybe you left the chain too long on the flapper and it's getting stuck between the flapper and flush valve.
I replaced the inside guts with a FluidMaster and replaced the flapper a couple months ago. Last night I again replaced jsut the flapper and it's still leaking. I know you said the water will still fill the tank but my question to that is I never hear any running or filling water. That part shuts off completely.
Can you provide picture of inside the tank?
Use a piece of string or thin wire to hold up the float for the fill valve assembly for an hour. If the tank loses water then there is a leak into the bowl down below, probably the result of the flapper not sealing completely. Check the rim against which the flapper rests for rough spots.

If you turn off the supply valve below the toilet tank and the flapper is leaking, it will usually be several minutes before the tank empties out and the flow down into the bowl stops.
you can also put food coloring in the tank to color the water and see if that is what is leaking thru the rim???????
No one thinks of food coloring for toilets leaks good idea!

Peter Paul Rubens
"Portrait of Clara Serena Rubens", c. 1616
© LIECHTENSTEIN. The Princely Collections, Vaduz-Vienna
The Portrait of Clara Serena Rubens (1611-1623), painted c. 1616, is one of the most touching child portraits in the history of European art. It shows Rubens's five-year-old daughter from his marriage to Isabella Brant. Her resemblance to her mother is clear. The disarming directness with which the child looks at the viewer is not typical of contemporary portrait painting, but expresses the intimate relationship between father and daughter. Rubens uses colour with great skill to capture her face. The warm colouring of the flesh tones makes a particular impact against the grey-green ground and the child's clothing. The strong red of the cheeks and the highlights on her nose and forehead convey an impression of intense life. The painting is trimmed on all four sides, and looks incomplete at first because the clothing is hastily painted. Detailed work on these parts, however, cannot have been his intention as the portrait was probably destined for private use and not for sale. Rubens obviously concentrated on the key aspect of the portrayal, his daughter's face.

North Carolina State wants to know if its snarling wolf logo is showing up on merchandise sold at Nevada.
"Toughie" is the cartoon wolf that wears a red sweater and a beanie and is an N-C State trademark used on Wolfpack merchandise from flip flops to T-shirts.
Nevada's teams are called the Wolf Pack and the school's primary logo is a different wolf. A mug shot version of the N-C State wolf looks similar to one seen on items including a welcome mat and cookie jar that Nevada's athletics department sells. The difference is the Nevada version is blue and wears a top hat.
N-C State officials say they've sent an inquiry to Nevada about the mug shot version of Toughie. But there's been no response yet.

Some sweet ladies in my church hosted a "Sip & See" recently for me and Evy Kate. It was so precious! The decorations featured a sign that said "The Princess Has Arrived," building blocks spelling her name, a framed birth announcement, and my personal favorite----a white icing "Pumpkin Coach," just like in Cinderella! I about died, it was so cute. I am storing these ideas away for when I host some baby showers! Thank you to everyone who made this extra special.
A recent milestone has been Evy sitting in her Bumbo chair. She is really working on holding that sweet little head up!!
Some recent modeling shots...she was smiling at her Gigi when these were taken!
Aren't you jealous of this girlish figure?
And finally, I captured these pictures recently when Kurt was loving on Evy. Does this not melt your heart?!
We love our sweet, growing girl!

From a few yards away, the incomplete 2015 Young County budget could easily resemble the first unbound draft of the next great American novel. It's thick, and filled with line items for each county office and need.
It covers everything, from mental health to the humane society to libraries to transportation to copier supplies. County officials must carefully consider each line item, and the Young County Commissioners Court made some headway at its first budget workshop Monday morning, June 16. Court members can't breeze through budget items, but they also can't linger on each. There is a deadline.
Young County set its final budget deadline for August 25, 35 days before the Sept. 30 state mandated deadline. That's a little over two months, meaning expedience is important to the process. But this past Monday, one topic got the court talking for about 20 minutes, and it involves the future of digital data storage for all Young County offices.
"Cloud based storage and cloud based computing is essentially allowing off-site storage for data," said Young County IT Director Eric Steadham. "The way that this specific type of program is set up, it allows for us to remove our in-house, very costly equipment to an off-site location in east Texas to reduce the cost of overhead, as well as safe-gaurd us in the event of a catastrophe."
Steadham said that while not an immediate nor all encompassing fix, adopting a cloud storage system would not only help with the management of the county's digital data storage, but its physical document and file storage as well.
Young County's current data storage system operates through an IBM AS/400, a server in the Young County Law Enforcement Center whose software is run through NET Data out of Sulfur Springs.
"The problem that we always incur with technology is that at some point in time it becomes outdated or it becomes obsolete," Steadham said.

One offence, two hearings?
Can a company subject an employee to a second disciplinary hearing for the same offence? Wouldn't that be double jeopardy?
A case before the Labour Court found that in certain circumstances, the employer can have 'two bites at the cherry'.
Facts of the case
During August 2000, Metrorail noted irregularities in the petty cash withdrawals made by an employee, Mr Branford. A meeting was called, which was attended by Mr Branford, Mr Pillay, Mr Smith and Mr Palmer. After the meeting, Mr Pillay instructed Smith to finalise the matter. Mr Palmer called Mr Branford to his office and decided to issue a warning, which was recorded on his disciplinary record. An internal audit into the issue was performed and recommended that Branford be charged with forgery and dishonesty in respect of eight fraudulent claims (amounting to R834). The audit report was not based on new facts. Branford was then charged with forgery and dishonesty and was dismissed following a disciplinary hearing.
Branford referred a dispute to the Bargaining Council. The Arbitrator found that the dismissal was unfair on the basis that Branford had been disciplined twice for the same offence, and ordered his re-instatement. Metrorail successfully reviewed the award in the Labour Court. Branford then pursued an appeal against the Labour Court's decision.
Legal issues
The legal issue was whether the formal disciplinary action taken against Branford amounted to double jeopardy.
The appeal was dismissed by Judge Jafta (Judge Nicholson concurring) in the majority judgment (Judge Willis dissenting). Both the minority and majority judgments refer to the decision of BMW (SA) (Pty) Ltd v van der Walt (2002) 21 ILJ 113 (LAC) in which the following is stated:
"Whether or not a second disciplinary enquiry may be opened against an employee would, I consider, depend on whether it is, in all the circumstances fair to do so. I agree with the dicta in Amalgamated Engineering Union of SA & Others v Carlton Paper of SA (Pty) Ltd (1998) 9 ILJ 588 at 596 A-D, that it is unnecessary to ask oneself whether the principles of autrefois acquit or res judicata ought to have been imported into our labour law. They are public policy rules. The advantages of finality in criminal and civil proceedings is thought to outweigh the harm which may in individual cases be caused by the application of the rule. In labour law, fairness and fairness alone is the yardstick….I should make two cautionary remarks. It may be that the second enquiry is ultra vires the employer's disciplinary code....That might be a stumbling block. Secondly, it would probably not be considered fair to hold more than one disciplinary enquiry save in rather exceptional circumstances."
Court findings
Minority judgment
The dissenting judge found that:
• The previous enquiry was valid and no new evidence was uncovered between the first and second enquiries.
• The Arbitrator's reasoning cannot be said to have been so flawed that one must conclude that there had not been a fair adjudication of the issue.
• The Arbitrator did not commit a gross irregularity in finding that the dismissal was unfair, and accordingly would have upheld the appeal.
Majority judgment:
The Court held that:
• The correct interpretation of the test to be applied to decide whether or not an employer is entitled to subject an employee to more than one disciplinary enquiry, is whether or not it would be fair for the employer to do so, not that it would only be permissible in exceptional circumstances. The Court further held that the concept of fairness applied to both the employer and the employee.
• On the facts, the Court held that:
"In these circumstances it would manifestly be unfair for the Company to be saddled with a quick, ill-informed and incorrect decision of its employee who misconceived the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly took an inappropriate decision leading to an equally inappropriate penalty".
The Arbitrator's award thus deviated from the principle of fairness. The reasons advanced by the Arbitrator did not logically lead to the conclusion he arrived at, as he was too focused on the idea that Metrorail was bound by Palmer's action, irrespective of whether Palmer's decision was correct or not.
• The Arbitrator committed a gross irregularity because he failed to consider whether or not in the circumstances of the present case, Metrorail was entitled to hold the enquiry that led to Branford's dismissal, and if so whether the sanction of dismissal was fair.
The appeal was thus dismissed and the dismissal stood.
The finding of the Court gives employers not satisfied with a sanction imposed by an enquiry a lifeline. But it is problematic, in that certainty must now give way to arguments that the disciplinary steps taken were not fair insofar as the Company is concerned. Employees will certainly argue that the judgment is incorrect as it allows employers to have "two bites at the cherry".
When new facts are introduced it would be reasonable to re-open the hearing, but where no new facts are to be introduced, the re-opening of the hearing, because the Chairman erred in coming to his decision, would negate the whole purpose of dispensing with disciplinary action speedily to obtain finality.

FPL rates (and transformers) get frozen
I could barely make out the headline in my Sun Sentinel on Wednesday, the one that read: "FPL deal keeps base rates steady for 2 years."
That's because my kitchen lights were so dim, with the watts struggling to course through the filament in the bulbs, I thought I was back in Edison's lab.
Oh, and I was freezing under a jacket and scarf.
Thanks, FPL.
This time, I was the victim of a brownout, courtesy of a transformer on my block that couldn't stand up to the frigid overnight temperatures.
After the voltage in my home went haywire around 3 a.m., the central heating stopped working and some lights and appliances didn't work at all. Others were just fine. It was weird.
After experiencing FPL blackouts, power surges, flickers and blips through hurricanes, tropical storms, thunderstorms, windy days and perfectly fine days, this was a new one.
So I sure am glad that the base rate freeze was finalized on Tuesday.
Because I'd hate to go through another round of rate-hike hearings as in 2009, where FPL executives and shills prattle on about the utility's reliability and service.
I guess I shouldn't complain.
Me and my neighbors called in around 7 a.m., and we had the transformer replaced and the full power restored around noon.
After a real freeze, the rate freeze was welcome news.
Maybe next time I won't need a flashlight to read all about it.

Former JC resident offers more tales of driving around Missouri
Robinson will hold book signing today
Wednesday, December 11, 2013
A year ago, former Missouri Tourism director John Drake Robinson wrote that he had "found 32,314 stories on the road" as he traveled "along Missouri's back roads (to) find interesting stories waiting to be discovered."
But his 2012 book, "A Road Trip Into America's Hidden Heart: Traveling the Back Roads, Backwoods and Back Yards," only had 42 chapters.
And, even though some of those recounted more than one story, Robinson had plenty of tales left to be included in his follow-up work, "Coastal Missouri: Driving on the Edge of Wild."
Robinson, who now lives in Columbia, will be signing copies of the new book today, from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m., at Jefferson City's Downtown Book and Toy, 125 E. High St.
"Thanks to Missourians, good and bad, who gave character to these stories," Robinson wrote on his "Acknowledgements" page that also serves as an introduction to the new work.
Story titles in the 196-page collection include:
• "Not All Aboard," about problems with a ticket on an Amtrak ride.
• "Belching Steam," a ride on an elegant steam-powered riverboat.
• "Rafting the Mississippi."
• "The Real Ozarks."
• "Good Water Gone Bad."
• "Skating on Thick Ice."
• "Bad News at Painted Rock."
• "Sail Missouri."
• "Loose Creeks, Ferry Ghosts & Frankenhogs."
• "This Land Is Your Land."

Gill lice Salmincola spp. are a parasitic copepod that only infect Salvelinus species such as brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis, which is the only salmonid native to Wisconsin streams. The gill lice life cycle begins when egg sacs release nauplii, which immediately molt into the larval first copepodid stage during which they have about 24 hours to find a host. The larval copepods anchor onto the gills of their host and continue development. After several molts, the copepods attain maturity and remain permanently attached to a gill arch.
For more information, download the Fact Sheet
Gill lice can cause significant physical trauma to the gill filaments, causing deformities that may affect respiration and efficient uptake of oxygen and release of carbon dioxide, ammonia, and other metabolites. Heavily infected brook trout cannot obtain sufficient oxygen when they are exercised, such as when caught by angling. Respiration may be particularly difficult for infected fish during times of high water temperatures and low dissolved oxygen levels. High rates of infection may slow the physiological processes of growth and sexual maturation, which in turn may negatively affect brook trout population growth rates. Gill lice are a parasite specific to brook trout and are not known to infect brown trout.
Gill lice are readily observed on the gill arches of infected brook trout. To observe, hold the trout upside down in one hand and use your other hand to grab the upper jaw and gently flare open the gills. Gill lice, if present, will appear like white blobs hanging on the red gill filaments.
Anecdotal observations of gill lice by anglers and Wisconsin DNR fisheries biologists suggest gill lice may be infecting more brook trout and spreading to more streams. However, we have little information on current and past distributions of gill lice in Wisconsin. We have implemented this web-based reporting system for anglers to use to document their observations of gill lice presence or absence on brook trout that they catch in streams, ponds, and lakes across Wisconsin.
Participate in our angler-based monitoring program - Simply record your gill lice observations using our Online Survey. Alternatively, you can download a copy of our Offline Data Collection Form
It is becoming increasingly important in the battle against invasive species (not just gill lice) for anglers to become familiar with and follow proper disinfection practices - You can find more information in our Angler Disinfection Brochure

Dutch Studies
Dutch and Flemish Studies at the University of Michigan
The roots of the University of Michigan's Dutch and Flemish Studies Program can be traced back to the immediate aftermath of World War Two. Since then, it has grown to become a major resource for the dissemination and study of Dutch and Flemish culture for U-M students, the State of Michigan, and beyond.
Our Curriculum
In addition to a strong, four-semester language sequence, our course offerings include classes on Anne Frank, an undergraduate honors seminar entitled "Dutch Colonialism and its Aftermath," and a variety of independent studies. Dutch and Flemish Studies enjoys good relations with many other units at the University of Michigan, including Linguistics, Art History, History, South and South East Asian Studies, and Political Science.
View Netherlandic Treasures from the U-M Special Collections Library.
The University of Michigan is hosting this year's 18th biennial Conference on Netherlandic Studies, from June 2-4. Please visit the conference website at ICNS 2016.

The De Vries/Vanderkooy Lectures
In 1996, the Dutch Studies Program was further enriched by the addition of the De Vries/Vanderkooy Memorial Lecture. Jan de Vries, a Dutch physician with the World Health Organization who taught at the University of Michigan, and Meindert Vanderkooy, Director of Plant Operations at U of M, were instrumental in the formation of the Netherlands America University League in Ann Arbor. In honor of their extraordinary efforts to promote the study of the language and culture of the Low Countries, the annual De Vries/Vanderkooy Memorial Lecture has been held annually since 1996. Previous speakers have included Richard Lauwaars, a member of the Supreme Court of the Netherlands (1996), the renowned poet and award-winning biologist Leo Vroman on the "common ground" between science and the arts (1997), the humanitarian and heroine of the Dutch Resistance Marion VanBinsbergen Pritchard, who saved more than an hundred Jewish children (1998), the great scholar of Dutch-Indies literature E. M. Beekman (1999), the physician and Dutch parliamentarian Corrie Hermann (2000), and Holocaust survivors Jaap Polak and Ina Soep (2001). E. M. Beekman's wonderful lecture on Rumphius and Dermout, "A Different Magic: What a Naturalist Taught a Novelist," has since been published in a beautiful format. We would love to be able to publish the lectures in this series regularly if we could find the necessary financial support.
18th Annual Devries - Van der Kooy Memorial Lecture
Speaker: Jan Willem Duyvendak
The Netherlands Visiting Professorship
With a view to celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of Holland, Michigan in 1947, the Director of the Netherlands Information Bureau in Holland approached President Ruthven about the possibility of establishing a Chair in Dutch culture at the University of Michigan. (Still a good idea!) Further negotiations led to the creation of an ongoing exchange between the University of Michigan and the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. This august institution celebrated its 50th anniversary in April, 2001. Currently administered by the Center for European Studies at our International Institute, the "NVP" has brought to U-M distinguished scholars from a wide variety of fields, including Law, History, Architecture, Engineering, and many of the natural sciences. Most of the Visiting Professors gave talks at other universities during their tenure. The NVP surely has accomplished its original intent of creating a broad and deep network of contacts between the Netherlands and the United States, and it has enriched our Dutch program immeasurably.
The Dutch Writer-in-Residence
A visit to the U-M by the distinguished Dutch writer Bert Schierbeek in 1979 inspired the University to approach the Stichting voor Vertalingen [Foundation for the Translation of Dutch Literary Work] in Amsterdam about the possibility of co-funding a Dutch Writer-in-Residence. We succeeded, and Bert Schierbeek returned to the University for the academic year 1981-1982 as the first tenant of the position. The program has run continuously ever since, attracting a long list of other luminaries:
- Philo Bregstein
- Mischa de Vreede
- Peter Ten Hoopen
- Arie van den Berg
- Renate Dorrestein
- Graa Boomsma
- Henk van Kerkwijk
- Mia Meijer
- Herman Stevens
- Martin Bril
- Robert Vernooy
- Daphne Meijer
- Renee Huigen
- Patty Scholten
Over the years, the Dutch Studies Program has enjoyed a very close relationship with the local Netherlands America University League (NAUL) of Ann Arbor, to our mutual benefit. A non-profit organization for those interested in Dutch language and culture, the NAUL has been instrumental in sponsoring special events, visits, and lectures. Many of its members have provided financial, intellectual, and moral support to the Program. Link to NAUL website.

September 2011 (PDF)
There are strong links with the American Association for Netherlandic Studies. The Dutch lecturer has served on the Board of Directors and was the interim editor of their Newsletter in 1992-1993. Since 1997 he has served as the liaison between AANS and the Canadian Association for the Advancement of Netherlandic Studies. He was also a member of the selection committee for candidates to the Dutch Summer Course in Dutch language at Nijenrode, the Netherlands.

Steve Irwin dies after accident with a stringray
Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, died in an accident while filming an underwater documentary in the Great Barrier Reef.
It is reported that a stingray barb that went through his chest and into his heart, leaving Steve dead on the scene.
When I first saw Steve on the Discovery Channel I thought this guy had a death wish. He was one of the first people I saw on TV taking on crocodiles, spiders and other animals you wouldn't want to go near. But Steve seemed to have no problem at all getting up close and personal with these animals. "Crikey! A big spider just crawled over me arm!".
Even though similar shows sprung up after the Crocodile Hunter's success, Steve and his shows were one of a kind.

NAPPANEE -- He was asleep, oblivious to the storm system chugging its way up Indiana to Elkhart County.
When the howling started outside his south-side home here, though, rousing him from slumber, Ray Weaver knew it was no ordinary cloudburst. Reacting instinctively, he grabbed wife Amanda and rolled with her from the bed onto the floor.
"Then the windows all blew out," he said. "I knew the sound. I knew not to get up and look out the window."
Up in the Blackstone Community, a well-to-do section of newer homes on Nappanee's northeast side, Sandy Thurn, readying for bed, jumped to attention as the city's emergency warning sirens abruptly wailed to life. She momentarily sought out her 20-year-old cat, Tiger, before rushing to the bathroom of her one-story home and crawling into the tub for cover.
Suddenly, the bathroom wall started crumbling, sending cinderblocks onto the toilet, the sink -- everywhere but her body.
"Those blocks just came falling in," said the woman, a retired nurse. "They just fell apart."
Meanwhile, the Odiorne family -- Derek and wife Jennifer; son Jesse, 10; daughter Emma, 1; and dog Sally, a Labrador mix -- huddled under the staircase in the basement of their Blackstone Boulevard home, just up the street from Thurn.
"We heard the wind pick up and then a very loud explosion," said Derek Odiorne, a network analyst who works in South Bend. "You knew exactly what was happening. I said to my wife, 'A tornado just hit our home.'"
It's been nearly two months since the F3 twister that tore through Nappanee with winds of up to 165 mph, causing just five minor injuries but damaging or destroying 363 homes and 109 businesses. It's hardly forgotten, though, and not just because local and state officials continue to wrestle with all the wreckage left in its wake.
Even now, emergency response officials marvel at the minimal casualties.
"There was a huge guardian angel overseeing Nappanee that night," said Jen Tobey, the Elkhart County emergency management director and a central official in the immediate response to the tragedy.
And many believe the event will go down in history as a defining moment in the history of Nappanee, much as the Palm Sunday tornado of April 11, 1965, which devastated Dunlap, is remembered by those who experienced that deadly twister.
"'You remember the 2007 tornado?'" said Matt Tice, a Nappanee Police Department patrolman, expressing the sort of amazement and curiosity he suspects the Oct. 18 event will generate in years to come. "It's going to be like that forever. It'll be a milestone, a time marker, just like the Palm Sunday tornado."
'Tornado on the ground!'
Nappanee Police Chief Michael Anglin, brother Tom Anglin, Nappanee's fire chief, and Jim Sumpter, who heads the city's emergency medical services office, had been monitoring the progress of the storm system that ultimately spawned the Nappanee tornado. That's what local policy dictates in such weather situations.
They've done it countless times over the years, though, and this system didn't necessarily stick out as anything to be overtly worried about, at least initially.
Then National Weather Service officials started reporting "rotation" in the system. On hearing that word, "you kind of perk up a little bit," said Tom Anglin.
Accordingly, the three men made their way to the Nappanee Police Department -- it was shortly after 9:30 p.m. on Oct. 18 -- and dispatched the city's fire, police and ambulance units to monitor the impact of the weather system around the city. Again, that's what policy dictates.
"I said to my wife, 'I'll see you in a little bit,'" said Michael Anglin, recalling his parting words as he left home. "I figured we'd be up here a little bit and come home."
At 10:08 p.m. the National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for southern Elkhart County and reported "strong rotation" near Bourbon in Marshall County, about 20 miles south-southwest of Nappanee. Suddenly, this was no garden-variety storm and the threat of a twister was very real.
By 10:17 p.m., emergency officials had activated the city's emergency warning sirens. "We maybe debated it 10 seconds whether to hit the siren," said Sumpter.
A minute later, Nappanee Patrolman Curtis Weldy, westbound on 1350 just west of S.R. 19 in extreme northern Kosciusko County, offered a first-hand account of the twister.
"He screamed, 'Tornado on the ground!'" said Michael Anglin, recalling the officer's radio dispatch.
Weldy offered up his location and the direction of the twister, which rocked the man's car and battered it with debris. It had touched down dangerously close to Nappanee and was trucking along toward the city, less than a mile away, at a clip of 55 mph.
'I was crying'
Back in Nappanee, Amanda Weaver, asleep in bed with husband Ray in their Short Street rental, suddenly lurched awake, the wind howling ominously.
"I heard the news," she remembered, alluding to earlier TV weather reports that had documented the storm's trajectory, "but I underestimated it and I went to sleep."
That's when Ray acted, pulling Amanda with him off the bed onto the floor, just as the tornado passed over their modest neighborhood, one of the first hit. Glass flew, rain suddenly spewed into their bedroom and the couple dashed into the bathroom, looking for a safe haven.
"I'm not scared of much," said Ray Weaver. "But that's the first time I've been scared in a long time."
"I was crying," said Amanda.
The tornado continued northeasterly through Nappanee and people all over the city heeded the call of the blaring emergency sirens.
Kent Walter's wife roused him from sleep and they ran for the basement of their south Nappanee home, which ended up sustaining relatively minor damage.
"It sounded like a train -- it really did -- just like they say," he said. "I thought it was bad, definitely bad. The house was shaking. You could feel the floor moving."
A tornado shelter at First Mennonite Church on the west side of Nappanee near Meadows Mobile Home Park quickly filled, though the tornado ended up sparing that part of the city.
"They heard the sirens and they came running," said Tice, the patrolman.
Brian and Lisa Lewis hid in the ground-floor bathroom of their two-story townhouse near Oakland Avenue and Market Street as the tornado ripped off part of their roof. The pressure change brought on by the twister popped their ears and seemed to suck all the air out of the unit.
"I kept saying, 'This is bad. This is bad. This is really bad,'" said Lisa, a pharmacy technician at Elkhart General Hospital.
"I just envisioned the upstairs falling down on us," said Brian.
Then, as quickly as it came, the twister dissipated on the northeast outskirts of the city, just past Blackstone. All told, Nappanee emergency officials estimate it lasted six minutes, from 10:18 p.m., when Weldy first saw it, to about 10:24 p.m.
But that was hardly the end of it all.
'Sandy, are you OK?'
Homeowners all over Nappanee crept out of their dwellings to assess the damage, crawled out of rubble or waited for help.
A friend called to check on the Weavers and within minutes, they were in Ray's battered truck, headed to their pal's home in Leesburg.
"Our whole block was wiped out, cars up on steps and a van upside down," said Ray, who remembers exiting Nappanee through cornfields to avoid the police roadblocks that had quickly sprung up.
Thurn, who suddenly had a view of the sky above, stayed put in her tub, knowing her brother, who lives just down the street, would soon be along to check on her.
"My brother came down and he's yelling, 'Sandy, are you OK?'" said the woman, who suffers from multiple sclerosis. "I said, 'No, I'm stuck in the bathtub.'"
Derek Odiorne, still with his family in the basement of their home, used his Blackberry to make sure another storm wasn't bearing down on Nappanee. Then he retrieved shoes and coats for his wife and kids and they made their way out of the home -- what was left of it anyway.
"It just looked like everything was put in a blender and mixed up," he said. The twister had blown half the roof off the home, torn out the ceiling over the kitchen and pretty much scrambled everything inside.
Everyone in impacted neighborhoods -- from south-central Nappanee to the city's northeastern periphery -- described similar devastation. It was as if a bomb had gone off.
Downed trees and utility poles covered streets. Broken natural gas lines hissed. Splintered homes with exposed or missing rooms sat forlornly. Modular units sat askew of their foundations. Random debris covered everything.
Fairmont Homes and Franklin Coach on C.R. 7 were particularly hard hit, and Brian Lewis, whose townhouse abutted Franklin, said the damage to the two large manufacturers was obvious. Trailer parts were strewn all over the parking lot of his complex.
"There was everything, air conditioners, doors, miscellaneous metal," he said. "Just metal debris."
Police, firefighters and other emergency officials from Elkhart County and beyond quickly assembled, spreading across Nappanee to assess the damage, secure the city and help anyone in need.
The Odiornes eventually went to the Wakarusa home of Derek Odiorne's parents. Others stayed with friends and Tice said some even stuck it out in their storm-ravaged dwellings.
"We told the people there were shelters," he said. "They just wanted to stay in their own homes, which is OK."
Later, during the wee hours of Oct. 19, Tice ran into a couple groups of kids walking around, curiosity-seekers, and he promptly sent them home. Someone else called in a report of what seemed to be a person in distress, screaming in a field east of Nappanee.
"It was a donkey," said Tice. "He was loose, just running around."
Miraculously, it turned out that no one suffered major injury, despite the extensive damage.
"I really thought we were going to find some bodies," said Sumpter.
The power of wind
Thousands of volunteers converged on the city on the Sunday after the twister to help remove debris and recovery efforts slowly edge forward. Nappanee Mayor Larry Thompson is working overtime dealing with the many issues that go along with mending a city. Gov. Mitch Daniels has appealed to the feds for a disaster declaration, which would pave the way for funding to help in the process.
Meanwhile, Brian and Lisa Lewis are living in Goshen, hoping to return to Nappanee when repairs on the townhouse they had rented are complete. They didn't have any renter's insurance and lost many of their belongings.
"We're lucky we survived it and didn't get injured," said Brian Lewis. "We're very unfortunate we didn't have insurance on our apartment."
The Odiornes, now renting a house in Nappanee, have torn down what remained of their home in Blackstone and are rebuilding on the same lot. Though they lost many of their belongings, Derek Odiorne is just thankful no one in his family was hurt.
"It was actually a huge feeling of relief that everyone was alive," he said. "We understand the house is something that can be replaced."
Thurn, now living with her mother until repairs on her home are complete, found her cat, Tiger, the day after the twister, sitting under the bed in her bedroom. She, too, is thankful to have survived.
Still, the Oct. 18 twister isn't something that'll fade from memory and Thurn indicates a new-found respect for Mother Nature.
"It's only been two months, but when the wind gets high, starts to blow, you'll just kind of always have that flashback," she said. "It just reminds you of how powerful the wind is."

I have the same question. It seems like there is no proper guide on the Internet on the best way to sync iPhone Ical with Ical. At least it does not function at all for me.
Appointments written on my Ical on on Iphone are not syncronized with my Ical on my mac even though I have them on the same Wifi connection for several hours every day.
Would appreciate if there was an easy solution to this problem. I imagine that it is probably an easy guide how to set it up. But the problem is I cannot find this guide anywhere.

The method I used does not involve iCloud or iTunes. First, you open iCal. Click the bold iCal (next to File). Select Preferences. Add account. For this, you'll need to add an email account you use regularly.
On your iPhone, go to Settings. Then to Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Go to Add Account and add the same email address you have listed on your iCal account. Now scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and change your default calendar to this email address.
Now everytime you add an event to your calendar from the iPhone, it will sync to your computer's iCal. You will have to manually change previous events, but from now on, all events entered will sync. Go ahead and try it! After you're done adding both accounts, go back to the macbook and go to the Calendar tab, press refresh all. There you go!
I just figured this out today so any additional questions beyond this I haven't figured out yet. Hope this helps!

This worked for me.....
On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Calendars off then back on then restart the iPhone.
On the Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Calendars then reselect it.

The market for new condos in the Baltimore area
Some of the more eye-popping factoids:
--At the pace things are moving right now, the northern suburbs have enough new condos for sale to last buyers through 2022, according to Delta.
--In Baltimore City, contract cancellations in the first three months of the year outnumbered sales. (The same thing happened in Washington's Fairfax/Falls Church area.)
Delta addresses these supply vs. demand issues in the report:
The inventory of condos in the Baltimore metro area is still too high compared to sales velocity, and as a result, more projects have been removed from the pipeline, and this trend will likely continue over the period ahead.

I'm not sure if it's the camelbak that's getting to me but, I sort of need my pack for water (obviously) and it's where I stash a spare tube and some fold up tools in case I need to make adjustments.

Cape Cod
The Cape Cod originated in the early 18th century and was originally brought over as half-timbered English houses. It was then remodeled to meet the colder weather found in New England.
Typically a one-and-a-half story dormered home, the Cape Cod features pretty side gables, a small overhang and sloped roof. Such a home has a strong owner who loves to relax and enjoy a structured home after a long and busy day. The Cape Cod owner is warm-hearted in nature and tries to create an atmosphere that's in commune with the beautiful scenery around them.

Co-Mo helps 4-H campers
Wednesday, June 18, 2014
Co-Mo Electric Cooperative is extending power in a different way for some area children.
Cooperative representatives are visiting area 4-H camps this summer to help local youth build their own extension cords.
Co-Mo Energy Services Advisor Tom Hulse and Communications Manager John Agliata visited Heit's Point camp on June 12, and helped 4-H campers from Cooper County with the project. Today (Wednesday) they will be joined by other Co-Mo employees at Camp Cloverpoint to help campers from Morgan and Moniteau counties. Co-Mo will return to Cloverpoint June 25 for campers from Miller County and then travel to Camp Windermere July 18 for youth from Camden County.
"It's great to see the look on the kids' faces when they finish their cord and test it and it works," Hulse said. "It's just amazing to some of them that they can really wire something and it functions."
The camp sessions are run by Co-Mo Education Specialist Keith Mueller, who walks the campers step-by-step through the process of taking the pieces that make up the cord all the way to the finished product. Meanwhile, cooperative employees help out where needed and spend time interacting with the campers.
"That's the best part," Agliata said. "Just getting to be goofy with the kids, talk to them about their lives and their camp experience, make jokes with them; the hope is to leave them with a positive impression of their electric cooperative."
Co-Mo has been a part of this outreach for more than a decade. The effort is in keeping with one of the seven cooperative principles — education, outreach and information.
"That's one of the great things about being an electric cooperative," Agliata said. "We are able to do these outreach activities for no other reason than because it's the right thing to do and because we care about the communities we serve."
Co-Mo's educational outreach isn't limited to the summer. Mueller and fellow Education Specialist Stan Varner spend the school year visiting area classrooms teaching electric safety and energy efficiency. They also visit community organizations and other gatherings to teach these topics and more.
In addition, this year Co-Mo launched an effort to train area firefighters about electric safety in their jobs. These on-site training classes have been taught around the Co-Mo service territory and go with a recently launched quarterly firefighter-safety newsletter Co-Mo is sending to all area fire stations.
"These are our communities, not just places where we work," said Safety Coordinator Jimmy Jester, who has spearheaded the firefighter training initiative. "The firefighters are our members, our friends, our neighbors, so anything we can do to help keep them be safe is a good thing."
Anyone wishing to schedule a training or education session of any kind is encouraged to contact Agliata at 800-781-0157 or email him at email@example.com.

Does Love Survive Loss?
Auden and Larkin each wrote powerful lines about love—and then had grave doubts about them. Why?
"Amor vincit omnia," Love conquers all. Or so Virgil wrote. But does it? Does love survive dissolution of the lovers? And if so, where exactly would it be, where does all that lost love survive?
I was prompted to revisit these ancient questions anew by a long footnote about a single line in the new Complete Poems edition of Philip Larkin's poetry. The footnote refers to "An Arundel Tomb"—widely regarded as one of Larkin's finest poems—and contains a provocative remark about that the poem's celebrated, controversial, closing line, the one about the true nature of immortality:
"What will survive of us is love."
The line is so uncharacteristic of Larkin, one of the most relentlessly downbeat poets in modern literature, that it's almost shocking in its apparently uncomplicated affirmation. You can barely believe it. In that footnote I mentioned there are quotes from Larkin suggesting he could barely believe it either.
No offense to the Beatles, but on first reading, Larkin's line sounds like "And in the end, the love you take/ Is equal to the love you make," that saccharine reduction of love's transcendence to algebra.
Thinking about the survival of love in the context of Larkin's poem, I suddenly felt the parallel with another controversial line, this one from W.H. Auden. A quarter-century or so before Larkin, Auden originally wrote, in the closing line of the penultimate stanza of perhaps his most celebrated poem, "September 1, 1939":
"We must love one another or die."
These two lines—Larkin's "What will survive of us is love" and Auden's "We must love one another or die"—may be the most well-known lines of poetry about love written in the past century. But what's remarkable about them both is that the poets who wrote them agonized over them, were conflicted and critical of their own lines. Both Larkin and Auden eventually tried to distance themselves from their original unmediated utterances.
Indeed that extended footnote in the new Larkin edition eventually led me to rethink it all—Larkin, Auden, love, love poetry—even footnotes. Footnotes? Sometimes with poetry you can know too much about what the poet thinks. After he publishes a poem, it's not his or hers anymore, you know? Though that doesn't stop some of the poets—or their loving anthologists—from trying to control how you construe the poems (or at least prevent egregious misconstruals) via scholarly footnotes. But do poets always know the truth of what they've wrought?
Auden rethought his line—"We must love one another or die"—almost immediately. Indeed he turned violently against it, tried to ban, or vanish it. Called the poem in which it appeared "trash." Said he "loathed" it. And yet the line still persists in a limbo of literary erasures that don't completely efface the original. And now we learn Larkin had doubts about his love-affirming line.
What is going on here? Where is the love for love, guys?
Larkin and Auden are perhaps the two pre-eminent English-language poets of the past century, successors to Eliot and Yeats. For Americans less familiar with Larkin, I'm not going to get into an argument here over the poets' pre-eminence. Yes, there are American contenders, Lowell, Bishop, Hart Crane. Even Nabokov on the strength of "Pale Fire" alone. But Larkin and Auden are frequently paired as poets without peers. (I know it's unseemly to talk in these horse-racy terms, but have you noticed the way Larkin appears to have overtaken Auden—and virtually all other moderns—in critical estimation of late?)
Here in America Larkin has previously been most well-known for his famous opening line "They fuck you up/ your mum and dad." That line and Larkin's doggerel-like verse about how "Sexual intercourse began in 1963 ... / Between the end of the Chatterley ban/ and the Beatles first LP" have given many casual American non-readers of poetry the misleading impression that Larkin was a cheeky writer of light verse. But just one exposure to his "Aubade" or "The Whitsun Weddings," "The High Window" or the poem with the controversial line about love—"An Arundel Tomb"—will knock you flat with the weightiness of the words, their fierce and sorrowful, yet somehow self-effacing intensity. They make you understand why "Larkinesque"—denoting a devastating yet somehow vibrant, self-revelatory, self-effacing melancholy—has become a kind of household word in households where poetry is still read.
Which is why that one line about love from "An Arundel Tomb" has always stood out, provoked questions. It seemed, in isolation, so un-Larkinesque. Was it an anomalous moment of uplifting affirmation, or was the line, taken out of context, being misread?
The context:
In a graveyard the speaker stumbles on the 14th-century tomb of the Earl of Arundel and his wife. In the age-blurred, partially eroded tomb carving, the Earl is fully dressed in armor from head to toe. Except for one thing: The speaker notes that in the carving the Earl has removed the armed gauntlet from one hand. (Larkin got the hand wrong—on the real tomb, it was the right-handed gauntlet not the left. Thank you, footnote.)
The point is that the mailed glove is off so he can clasp, skin to skin, the hand of his wife, as if they were joined forever by love in their journey to death. Joined, the poet implies, until the ravages of time blur and erase them from recognition as they have already been erased from life. Joined even though the purported loving jointure may be mere stone-carver's fantasy.
Here is how Larkin puts it in the poem:
"One sees with a sharp tender shock" the handholding gesture. "Sharp tender shock"!—one could write a book about that phrase.
The remaining five verses are devoted to the speaker's vexed examination of the image and his sharp tender shocked reaction to it. The speaker reflects on the fact that the joined hands were probably the sculptor's idea, suggesting a faithful love that may be merely "faithfulness in effigy"—an image rather than the lived reality of fidelity. So that finally "only an attitude remains" and "Time has transfigured them into Untruth. ..."
And yet in the final lines he says of this attitude:

Rishi Kapoor's long-term career goal is to work on the test flight phase for flying cars. "If everything is gonna fly, I want to be there," he said. An extremely determined student with great mathematical and mechanical aptitude, it's easy to imagine his involvement in such a revolutionary development.
Kapoor earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics in his native India. He immigrated to the United States in 1997, and decided to expand his education into the area of computer numerical controls (CNC). He received a diploma in CNC production from Gateway Technical College and later earned a diploma in CNC machining from Milwaukee Area Technical College.
He currently works as a financial auditor for Super 8 Hotels, but is hoping to transition to a position in advanced CNC work. Familiar with MATC's training facilities, Kapoor was aware of the cutting-edge equipment housed in the Center for Advanced Manufacturing and Energy Conservation (ECAM) at the Oak Creek Campus.
CNC student Rishi Kapoor poses with the miniature Corvette engine he machined at MATC's Advanced Manufacturing and Energy Conservation Center at the Oak Creek Campus.
Kapoor uses a caliper to measure the dimensions of the Corvette engine. To the right is the five axis machining center he used to create the engine.
"I couldn't find another CNC educational program that uses five axis," Kapoor explained. The five axis machine offers the ability to create complex shapes in a single set up, saving time and increasing production rates. It also improves accuracy and allows shorter and more rigid tools to be used.
Kapoor said that most machine tool shops use three axis machines. He explained that shops that do have five axis machines generally only offer employees about four days of training on them -- not nearly enough to become proficient in use of the complex machines, he believes.
MATC CNC instructor Chris Haase (left) and Kapoor
discuss how to orient the Corvette engine, with the five axis machining center in the background.
Machined Miniature Corvette Engine
When offered an educational opportunity, Kapoor makes the most of it. He asked Haase if he could use the five axis machine to build a small scale model of a Corvette engine - just for fun. "This is five to ten times more complicated than the average projects students work on," said Haase. Kapoor spent more than 100 hours building the engine block from an aluminum block. The engine is machined on six sides, which means creating six sides and combining them all into one large CNC program. It is so accurate that if the prototype were built to scale, it would need only minor tweaks to be used in a Corvette.
"What impressed me most was how he could sequence and machine the part," said Haase. "This kind of project takes a lot of logic, mathematical ability and the ability to visualize."
CNC work is hard to get these days because of the strained economy, Haase said. "But the industry will recover when the economy does and people with advanced skills will do the best." Haase is certain Kapoor will land a good job in the field.
Kapoor wants to work for the aeronautics industry. With any luck, he'll get his chance to graduate from duplicating an earth-bound Corvette engine to developing an engine for the first flying car.

Reviews by dschofield
Fun for the whole family....dschofield | Aug. 18, 2011 | Review of Duke Nukem Forever - PC
if you're family consists of only 18+ males that understand that this game was made to be brutaly male. Fans of Duke 3D will instantly have feelings of nostalgia plusing through their veins the instant they hear the opening tune. All the over the top guns, one liners and boobs you'd expect from Duke Nukem Forever are there just begging to be played after 14 years of gathering dust. If you go into this game not expecting 14 years of perfection tweeking, altering and sheer obsession of detail from the developers you'd have a clear view that Duke hasn't really changed. Yes the graphics and level design is far from perfect. But the whole time i played it, i didn't think once about it. I was having too much fun shooting shit! If you like explosions, big guns, punching, stomping, shooting, taunting, decapitating, dismembering, executing and road killing your enemies then you'll love Duke Nukem Forever.
