|From Marcel Waves to Gibson Girls, museum explores beauty salon history
|Written by Darci Tomky
Whether it is 1930 or 2009, one thing is always true—women want to look beautiful. Yes, beauty salon technology has changed dramatically over the years, but just like hairdresser Misti Redman said, "No matter what, women will still take time to have their hair done."
Phillips County Museum takes a look back at beauty salon history and what it took to get that perfect permanent wave or a to-die-for manicure.
One item that will certainly catch your eye in the museum is the vintage Marcel Wave machine. Easily mistaken for some sort of a torture device, this machine was the latest craze in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. What was originally the "Undulation Marcel" became known as the "Marcel Wave," named after a French hairdresser.
The curling irons were heavy tongs with rounded internal surfaces, heated individually for each curl. Rectangular shaped gas burners were used to heat the tongs, but heating was unpredictable since early models did not have thermostats making it difficult to control the temperature. To achieve the much sought after permanent wave look, special waving lotion was put on the hair and was activated by the heat from the curlers.
A word of caution—use the Marcel Wave machine at your own risk. When the tongs were heated too hot, the hair was burned, but on the other hand, the perm would not set if the tongs were too cool. After many uncomfortable hours of sitting in the beauty salon, women could boast of their stylish Marcel Wave, but perms were very harsh and drying, sometimes leaving the hair in tight, frizzy curls that were difficult to manage.
Advertisements in The Holyoke Enterprise newspapers from 1936 promoted steam oil permanent waves for as low as $2.25. The reopening of Helen's Beauty Salon in the Peerless Theatre building featured genuine Nestle permanent waves, paper curling and finger waves for your personality.
Cold wave perms, similar to the method used today, were introduced in the 1940s. Chemicals instead of heat are used to perm the hair. Now, there are more choices for perms, and recent advances allow for perms and coloring to take place the same day.
In addition to curling irons and hair dryers, the walls of the museum give viewers a glimpse into pre-World War I style with posters from Collier's magazine. This publication as well as other popular magazines printed pen and ink drawings by Charles Dana Gibson. Using his wife, Irene Langhorne Gibson, as a model, he created "The Gibson Girl" who would become the American ideal.
Women aspired to be the Gibson Girl, modeling their hair, shoes and dresses after her practically perfect appearance. These Gibson drawings influenced and reflected the spirit and attitude of America in the early 1900s. The Gibson Girl's popularity came to an end with World War I when America's collective outlook changed from confident optimism to reserved cynicism, and Gibson's perspective now seemed out of place.
Even though the ideal of the Gibson Girl came and passed a century ago, Americans are continually looking to celebrities and public figures for that flawless outward appearance whether it be Marilyn Monroe or Jennifer Anniston.
Look a little more closely at the museum display and you'll see Ralph Gale's 1923 certificate from the State Board of Barber Examiners of Colorado, Invisible Scoldy Lox Extra Quality Hair Pins, Joseph Rodgers & Sons Razor and even Dusharme Scalp Balm.
Beauty salon products, services and fashion trends have all changed through the years, and so have perceptions about beauty salons. Both Redman and Veronica Marroquin of Veronica's Full-Service Hair Salon remember their moms cutting or perming their hair at home when they were children. They noted just a few decades ago, beauty salons seemed to be for the elite whereas now everyone takes them for granted.
Time is also a factor in today's busy world. Some curling irons can now heat up in just 11 seconds! While modern technology allows many services to be done in much less time than in the past, Marroquin pointed out people will always want to be pampered and will always take time out of their day to treat themselves to a haircut or manicure.
In looking to the future, beauty salons will continue to evolve. Redman and Marroquin noted some products are "going green" and are more ozone friendly. Men use more services than just haircuts and are also moving toward more stylish cuts. Beauty salons are now able to offer more services with everything from nails to tanning, and hair products are becoming more of a necessity.
After some pampering this week, take time to visit Phillips County Museum's display and travel through beauty salon history from Marcel Waves and barber clippers to Nestle Nestyle and Scoldy Lox Hair Pins.

North Sound, Antigua (Sports Network) - Eddie Johnson hasn't been able to hold
down a regular place in the United States national team.
But on Friday, Johnson made a case for regular inclusion by scoring a pair of
goals, including the winner in the 90th minute, in the USA's 2-1 win at
Antigua and Barbuda in CONCACAF World Cup qualifying.
It could have been the windy conditions, the tight field or a stubborn Antigua
side. But whatever the reason, Jurgen Klinsmann's team had trouble in the
attacking third all evening, and nearly was held to a draw.
The result moves the Americans to top of their qualifying group, three points
clear of Guatemala and Jamaica, who play later on Friday night, with one game
to play.
Johnson netted his first goal after 20 minutes by heading home an accurate
cross from Graham Zusi.
However, the home side snatched the equalizer just five minutes later with
Peter Byers driving into the area on the right and squaring the ball to Dexter
Blackstock inside the six-yard box for a simple finish.
Despite dominating possession, the U.S. created few chances after the break
and Antigua nearly went in front in the final 10 minutes as Byers curled a
shot just wide of the right post.
Antigua goalkeeper Molvin James produced a good save on Michael Bradley's
header to keep the match level. But he couldn't prevent Johnson from adding to
his tally in the 90th minute.
Substitute Alan Gordon provided the early cross and Johnson found himself open
at the far post, where he nodded the ball back across the face of goal to help
the Americans avoid an embarrassing draw.

CAMERON - Leading by one at halftime, Bishop Donahue coach John Durdines didn't really have to say anything to get his team psyched for the second half.

All he did was tell his players to listen to the opposing locker room.
The Bishops went out and scored the first 20 points en route to a 41-26 season-opening victory Friday against Cameron at Dragon Field.
It was far from the performance he was looking for, but for an opener Durdines took it.
''Any time you come out with a win it's a good thing,'' he said. ''Our effort and our tackling and, obviously, our conditioning have to get better.
''We're not going to win down the road if we keep doing the things we did (Friday).
''This team expects a lot more. We can't play like this next week against Clay-Battelle and expect to win.''
The numbers weren't spectacular for the Bishops, who were outgained 315-300. But a 147-63 offensive advantage in the second half proved to be the difference.
''The kids played their heart out and they did step up their game in the second half,'' Durdines said. ''I was happy with the line, too. It was the steadying force. None of them came off cramping and they played both ways.''
The Bishops racked up 202 yards on the ground, led by Saquan Hill's 93 yards and three touchdowns. Jordan Bonar added 73 yards and two scores.
Bonar also caught four balls for 43 yards and a score and picked off three Logan Routt passes, two of which resulted in touchdowns.
Then there was quarterback Jesse Padlow, making his first varsity start.
''Saquan's been excellent so far and Jesse, you know what? You bring a young man in for his first varsity start on the road in a heated rivalry and I thought he handled himself great.''
The second Bonar pick resulted in a five-play, 32-yard drive that was capped by a 6-yard Hill run late in the third quarter.
On its next possession, this time starting at the Dragons 42, Donahue scored again when Padlow found Bonar for a 21-yard TD strike with less than a minute left in the third quarter that helped make the score 35-20. That all but put the game away.
''We couldn't get past the 50 and they played on our side of the 50 the whole third quarter and scored twice,'' Cameron coach Jim Rogers said. ''That was the difference.''
The second half was a far cry from the first half for Cameron. Trailing 14-0 with 6:21 left in the first quarter, the Dragons rallied to tie the score on a 1-yard run by Hunter Yoders and a spectacular 27-yard pass from Routt to Shane Williams.
Routt, on fourth-and-long, found Williams on the 3 and then he bulled his way in for the score.
''We could have rolled over and packed it up when we got behind 14-0,'' Rogers said. ''But that's not the nature of these kids.''
Routt, a sophomore also making his first varsity start, had a spectacular first half, throwing for 165 yards and two scores. The final one capped a three-play, 61-yard drive that brought the Dragons to within 21-20 at halftime.
Mark Walker was the recipient of six of his passes for 67 yards.
''We turned it up there and he lit them up during that second quarter,'' Rogers said. ''He was in a zone. But in the second half he threw two picks. Plus, we fumbled once and had too many penalties. You can't survive on that.''
Cameron was flagged 15 times for 93 yards. Bishop wasn't much better, penalized eight times for 65 yards. The Dragons also lost two fumbles.
''We have to keep working and keep our heads up,'' Rogers said. ''We had our opportunities and didn't take advantage of them.
''We're gonna look at the positives. We have more potential on this team than we've had in several years.''
As for the Bishops, they're looking to steady the ship.
''It was just that consistency,'' Durdines said. ''If we want to go where we want to go we can't take ourselves out of the game in the second and third quarters.''

Unions are an important part of American history and how we got a middle class. But they allowed themselves to be highjacked by politicians who made them, like the horse and buggy, a piece of ancient history. Union leaders sell out to politicans and help exploit the membership. They make unions a two dollar hooker, the politicos know they will get the vote whether the membership is working or not. How unions/Dems have failed heavy industry in this country is a testament to the failure of union members to pay attention. Unions should listen to candidates from both parties and support those who support them. Don't forget the only President who actually went to bat for local steel was George W. Bush. Amazing isn't it? Clinton and Obama sold those jobs to NAFTA and the Sierra Club. And DEms forced him to take the tariffs off to prevent a "trade war". Make candidates perform, don't just throw your votes away for no jobs. Unions should bring jobs, not sell them out.

And then there are uglyassmf's who are smoking major weed if they think that is how a union works!
Let me repeat this for you douches who don't GET IT: It is a G L O B A L Economy now.
Union worker or non union worker, YOU MUST COMPETE against NAFTA and the Orient and the EMERGING 3rd world countries.
If you CAN, business will stay here, if NOT, it can go anywhere in the world.
Unions live on a 1950's concept where if they don't get what they want, they will go on strike.
A strike in today's job market is the KISS OF DEATH, hence unions have no real power except for public sector which cannot be outsourced easily.

If corporations would just do the right things and be fair then unions would have never been invented.I have no problem with right to work laws myself but when the union negotiates a contract for wages,benefits for workers who choose not to pay dues shouldn't benefit from it. let them negotiate there own package as individuals.It might work for them.It might not. My guess is they will be getting less $$ and benefits because ultimately that is what this about. Kaisich won't touch this with a ten foot pole.I actually like the Governor.He is trying to work for the people instead of the political machine. Unfortunately his party affiliates have different ideas. Unions need valuable well trained employees more than employees need unions.Real and properly run local unions train their people properly and send good,knowledgeable,drug free people who want to work to job sites.The laborers union here in the valley is absolutely fantastic.Then there are some like daWraith with tunnel vision.

Just purchased a JMI tripod dolly with 5" wheels for my Berlebach tripod. Tripod now sits somewhat precariously on dolly. I was thinking of drilling our where the tripod sits on the dolly and either bolting them together or make the hole large enough for the end of the leg to just sit in. Anyone done this and do you have any other ideas. Thanks, Dave

Well since nobody answeared I just went and did it myself. I removed the spiked bolts from the Berlebach feet and bought matching thread bolts. I eye balled the drill spots and drilled three holes that were almost dead on for the tripod feet. Ran the bolts up through the holes with lock and spacing washers and tightened down. Now no more wories about the tripod flipping off the dolly.

The brand introduced its top 2013 models in Cortina, Italy, with an eye toward reducing weight and increasing speed. --Matt Phillips
Like the Superfly 100, the SL hardtail comes in much lighter for 2013, with no reduction in frame stiffness. In fact, Trek claims the headtube is even stiffer than the current model. And because Trek racers requested a smoother ride so they could stay seated in rough terrain, the new frame is more compliant than past versions. To reduce trail-induced chatter, Trek created what it calls a "roll-wrapped" seat-tube. The name refers to the manufacturing process—it's formed like a carbon handlebar and is bonded into the otherwise complete frame. The post doubles the frame's vertical compliance, and offers more give than the Scott Scale or Cannondale Flash, Trek says. The redesigned model also features dropouts that accept either thru-axle or standard quick-release rear skewers and post-mount rear brake installations that place the caliper's forward mounting bolt on the chainstay and the rear post on the seatstay. The bike will make its competition debut at the London Olympics, where it will be raced by Canadian Emily Batty and American Sam Schultz. Complete bike weights start just below 19 pounds.

(Reuters) – The U.S. government shutdown prompted growing concern of wider economic consequences when it stretched into a third day on Thursday, and President Barack Obama challenged Republicans to "end this farce" by calling a straight vote on a spending bill.
Both sides in the standoff, triggered by Republican efforts to halt Obama's healthcare reforms, appeared entrenched.
Fears grew that the crisis would merge with a more complex fight looming later this month over raising the federal debt limit and that this could stymie any attempts to end the shutdown before the middle of October.
Obama said there were enough Republicans willing to pass a spending bill immediately if House Speaker John Boehner would allow a vote, but that the speaker was refusing to do so because "he doesn't want to anger the extremists in his party."
"My simple message today is 'Call a vote,'" Obama said in a speech at a construction company in Maryland. "Take a vote. Stop this farce, and end this shutdown right now."
He warned that as painful as the government shutdown was, a default caused by a failure to raise the debt limit would be dramatically worse for the economy as a whole.
Though some moderate Republicans have begun to question their party's strategy, Boehner so far has kept them largely united behind a plan to offer a series of small bills that would re-open select parts of the government most visibly affected by the shutdown. Democrats reject that piecemeal approach.
The Tea Party Express, one of the anti-tax groups in the conservative Tea Party that has led the fight against Obamacare, sent an email to supporters on Wednesday evening saying that as many as 12 Republicans had indicated they were willing to "give up on the fight" and join Democrats in voting for a funding bill without conditions.
"We need your immediate support to put pressure on the weak Republicans to pass a sensible solution that allows America to avoid the Obamacare train-wreck, while fully funding the federal government," the group said in its email.
In a report on Thursday detailing the potential economic impact of a default, the Treasury warned that failing to pay the nation's bills could punish American families and businesses with a worse recession than the 2007-2009 downturn.
"A default would be unprecedented and has the potential to be catastrophic: credit markets could freeze, the value of the dollar could plummet, U.S. interest rates could skyrocket," the Treasury Department said.
"The negative spillovers could reverberate around the world, and there might be a financial crisis and recession that could echo the events of 2008 or worse," it said.
The shutdown was beginning to hit the factory floor, with major manufacturers like Boeing Co and United Technologies Corp warning of delays and employee furloughs in the thousands if the budget impasse persists.
Companies that rely on federal workers to inspect and approve their products or on government money to fund their operations said they were preparing to slow or stop work if the first government shutdown in 17 years continues into next week.
Republicans have tried to tie continued government funding to measures that would undercut Obama's signature healthcare law. Obama and his Democrats have refused to negotiate on a temporary funding bill, arguing it is the duty of Congress to pay for programs it already authorized.
Obama reiterated that message on Thursday and ridiculed comments by one Tea Party-backed congressman, Marlin Stutzman of Indiana, who told The Washington Examiner: "We're not going to be disrespected. We've got to get something out of this, and I don't know what that even is."
"You have already gotten the opportunity to serve the American people. There's no higher honor than that," Obama said. "The American people aren't in the mood to give you a goody bag to go with it."
The shutdown took effect at midnight on Monday (0400 GMT on Tuesday), leaving nearly a million federal workers sidelined without pay and many others in the private sector suffering from the knock-on effect.
If the funding issue does merge with the debt ceiling debate, the result could be a dangerous and unpredictable fiscal superstorm. It may be harder to resolve than the shutdown alone or the 2011 debt limit struggle that sent financial markets plummeting and brought the United States to the brink of default.
Republican Representative Steve King of Iowa, speaking on CNN's "New Day" program, said Republicans were looking for solutions but Democrats were refusing to negotiate. But he gave no sign of a softening in the hardline stand on healthcare reforms, which passed into law in 2010 and are in the process of being implemented.
"If there is a bump in the economic road, if there is a political penalty to be paid, we can recover from those things," he said. "But we can never recover if Obamacare is implemented on the American people, and it will diminish the trajectory of the American destiny by turning us into a dependency society."
Stock markets fell while the dollar dropped to an eight-month low over concern about a prolonged shutdown. As worries grew about the debt ceiling, one-month Treasury bill rates grew to their highest level since November. Failure to raise the $16.7 trillion borrowing limit by October 17 will lead to a U.S. default and roil global markets.
Obama summoned congressional leaders from both parties to the White House on Wednesday evening but failed to bridge the gap, with both sides accusing each other of intransigence.
Despite the shutdown, Republicans have failed to derail Obama's controversial healthcare law, which passed a milestone on Tuesday when it began signing up uninsured Americans for subsidized health coverage.
The government on Wednesday scrambled to add computer capacity to handle an unexpectedly large number of Americans logging onto new online insurance marketplaces.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, speaking to CNBC, described the law as a "trainwreck" that was "creating havoc across the country," and reiterated Republicans' call for a one-year delay in its implementation.
Obama blamed the shutdown on Republicans' "obsession" with reversing healthcare reforms passed in the Affordable Care Act, but noted they had passed the House of Representatives and the Senate and been deemed constitutional by the Supreme Court.
"Last November the voters rejected the presidential candidate that ran on a platform to repeal it," he said. "So the Affordable Care Act has gone through every single democratic process, all three branches of government. It's the law of the land. It's here to stay."
There was increasing concern among major U.S. companies about the shutdown.
United Technologies Corp said nearly 2,000 workers in its Sikorsky Aircraft division, which makes the Black Hawk military helicopter, would be placed on furlough Monday if the shutdown continued.
That number would climb to more than 5,000 and include employees at its Pratt & Whitney engine unit and Aerospace Systems unit if the shutdown continues into November, the company said in a statement.
Aircraft maker Boeing said it is taking steps to deal with possible delays in jetliner deliveries, including its new 787 Dreamliner, because thousands of U.S. aviation officials needed to certify the planes have been idled.

|Wet weather makes for slow start to area wheat harvest
|Written by Chris Lee
The familiar summer sight of combines could be seen just across the road from Holyoke Cemetery Tuesday, July 6 as wheat harvest was kicked off. Randy Helgoth and another combine were seen cutting away at wheat. The field received some attention as vehicles slowly drove by to see some of the first wheat in the area get cut. —Enterprise photo
Wheat harvest was set to begin right around the 4th of July holiday, but Mother Nature opened her doors and let rain fall throughout Phillips County off and on over the next week.
Combines could be seen in a couple of fields last Tuesday, July 6 as a few brave farmers decided to give it a go. However that night just over a half inch of rain fell again putting a halt on things. It continued to rain throughout the week keeping farmers at bay and in their shops waiting for things to dry out.
Just as things seemed to dry out, more rain would fall from the skies. But as of Tuesday, July 13, Grainland Co-op grain merchandiser Steve Young and Steve Bahnsen of Paoli Farmers Co-op Elevator said harvest was around 25-30 percent complete in the area.
Warmer temperatures dropped the moisture in the wheat to around 10.5-11 percent, according to Young, and farmers jumped at the chance to get into the fields. Test weights have been right around 60 pounds per bushel, according to Young. Bahnsen reported similar test weights and moisture at the Paoli location.
Weather permitting, Young and Bahnsen estimate things will be nearly wrapped up around the end of next week.
Bahnsen said they have seen lower protein, but that comes with the good growing conditions seen in the area.

Created for those women with thinning eye lashes or those individuals who have never had full lashes, DS Laboratories Lash Enhancers encourage healthier-looking lashes with regular use that includes strict adherence to the instructions. Just imagine how nice it would be not to have to put on a set of false lashes just to get the results that you want. With DS Laboratories Lash Enhancers, you can have full lashes and show them off too! If you want longer, prettier lashes, try the advanced formula of DS Laboratories Lash Enhancers.
From curling to coloring, the eyelashes claim a lot of attention when getting ready for a night out on the town, but what happens when your eyelashes aren't quite as full as you would like them to be. We've all heard other women say things like, "Gosh, he has beautiful eyelashes," or "He should be a girl with those long lashes." It just doesn't seem fair sometimes that some individuals are blessed with full eyelashes and some women are not. Nonetheless, today's women can indulge in using DS Laboratories Lash Enhancers, beauty products designed to promote fuller-looking lashes.
Longer lashes used to be a beauty feature that you could only dream about while you were putting on your mascara and other cosmetic products. Today, however, it is possible to stimulate longer length for the eyelashes through the use of specialized beauty products formulated after years of research and clinical trials. DS Laboratories Lash Enhancers utilize cutting-edge technology to stimulate longer growth and greater density for your eyelashes. The results vary, however, with some users only experiencing longer growth. Wouldn't it be nice to have longer lashes that you can flutter this way and that?
Do you wish you had longer lashes that were so thick you couldn't possibly wish for anything more? Are you tired of watching your eyelashes thin out and diminish in appearance as you age? Perhaps it is time to try a cutting-edge treatment designed to stimulate the thickness of your eyelashes in a month's time. Formulated after conducting intensive research and clinical trials that have proven its efficacy in creating denser eyelashes, DS Laboratories Revita EPS Eyelash Growth Stimulator uses a revolutionary peptide complex to produce thicker, prettier lashes.
Its proprietary peptide complex is made from structural amino acids, which are known to enhance the health of your skin. Therefore, the use of this lash enhancer also improves the health of your eyelid, partly due to its ability to enhance the production of keratin, an essential component of healthy skin. Using this eye care product should lead to longer lashes within four weeks, provided that you follow the frequency and dosage instructions.

Anyone have any recommendations for finding Elk around Lincoln? I will be there the entire month of September but would like to have a few places to check out when I get there. Thanks
Welcome to the EF.
Poke around and join the discussion. I am sure some of the members will be willing to give some info when they get to know you.
linchon is huge!! As for hunting big bull's get private property acess twords the peak of the rut and you will get into 320+ bull's. Opening day's are critical for big public land bull's. Hunt spot's where people don't, lot's of hunter's around linchon and they hunt moistly everywhere. Throw your bugler away if your after a bigger bull, most average and bigger bull's will have cow's and will 70% of the time they will push their cow's away from your bugle. Knowing water holes and elk patter's is a must if your going to hunt in the thicker backcountry spot's. Use cow scent all the time in thicker country. ** don't be afraid to hunt mid day, lot's of the bull's will bed without their cow's. if you have a patner use the "cow troller technique" and call in bull's mid day, you will be suprize how good mid day can be around linchon! Buy a Montana decoy expecially for linchon due to the fact if you call in a bull they will come in slow and extremly consious and sometimes silent and that decoy will help you close the distance. Good places to look would be copper creek- lot's of backcountry and some private land around the hy-way, alise creek- good backcountry and some private land around the hy-way with big bull's in that private during mid rut, flesher pass- more open country with good cow number's, lot's of bull flood in there from the winter range on the other side of the pass, roger's pass- very thick and somewhat steep with a small number of cow's, but good number of bull's good spot for calling, ogden mnt- thick spot and not steep, lot's of bull's come down from the high country due to cow's. and daltin mountin if your willing to hunt some extreme terrain. Good luck *** One more thing - Elk around linchon get pushed around heavy! One day you might be on elk and the next couple day's there gone from people pushing them around... don't be afraid to drive around at night and bugle into cayon's and wait for a responce. if you find a deep sounding bull get back there in the morning and start your hunt there. I have spent way to much day's in spot's where at one time big bull's were all around but got pushed out and all you get to see is tree scrap's and poop!!

Late actor Paul Walker's final completed film "Brick Mansions" has landed a release date in April.
The English-language remake of French action movie "District B13" was scheduled to hit cinemas this month, but it was pulled from studio Relativity's diary following Walker's death in a car crash in November.
In the film, which also stars rapper-turned-actor RZA, the late Walker plays an undercover police officer trying to disarm a bomb.
As a mark of respect to the action star, Relativity bosses have opted not to have a premiere for Brick Mansions and they will donate the money they would have spent on a red carpet launch party to Walker's Reach Out Worldwide charity.
Walker was working on the seventh installment of the "Fast and Furious" franchise at the time of his death; he had only half completed his scenes.

I have one address book (contacts) under my primary mail account.
If I want to have different address books for one or more of my other mail accounts, I go to Address Book Tab, the pane appears on the left, I right click and select 'New Address Book', a window popups, fill the name of the new addr.book, I select the place where i want to put it, but nothing happens ! Address book does not appear in the pane at the left together with my main addr.book.
Although it doesn't appear though, it must have been created, because when I try to create again another new addr.book, and try to place it in a folder, the previous addr.book i created it appears in this list. Strange !
Any idea ?

Stickler Syndrome
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Stickler Syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
General Discussion
Stickler syndrome refers to a group of disorders of connective tissue. Connective tissue, which is distributed throughout the body, multiple organ systems can be affected. The specific symptoms present in Stickler syndrome often vary greatly from one individual to another. Affected individuals may not have all of the symptoms .The eyes, ears, skeleton and joints are most often affected. Affected individuals may also have distinctive facial features and palate abnormalities.
One of the first signs in Stickler syndrome is nearsightedness (myopia), in which objects close by are seen clearly but objects that are far away appear blurry. Myopia may vary from mild to severe in Stickler syndrome, but generally is not progressive (does not get worse). Myopia may be detectable shortly after birth, but the onset varies and may not develop until adolescence or even adulthood in some cases.
Stickler syndrome is characterized by the following clinical features: vitreoretinal degeneration, myopia, cataracts, retinal holes and detachments, sensorineural hearing loss, a characteristic facial appearance with mid facial flatness, small chin, long philtrum; palatal abnormalities, including cleft palate, bifid uvula or high arched palate; musculoskeletal problems including loose joints, scoliosis, chest deformities, Legg-Calve-Perthe's disease; early onset degenerative osteoarthritis (onset before age 40 years by xray); and mitral valve prolapse. An affected person does not need to have all of these features. In fact, the clinical picture is very variable even among affected people in the same family.
Four distinct forms of Stickler syndrome have been identified in the medical literature based on location of the mutated gene and inheritance pattern and at least one other form exists with an as yet unknown mutation location.
Stickler syndrome was first described in the medical literature in 1965 and 1965 by Gunnar Stickler et al., who called the disorder hereditary progressive arthro-ophthalmopathy. Stickler syndrome refers to a group of disorders of connective tissue. Connective tissue, which is the material between cells of the body that gives the tissue form and strength, is found all over the body. Connective tissue is made up of a protein known as collagen of which there are several different varieties found in the body. Stickler syndrome often affects the connective tissue of the eye, especially in the interior of the eyeball (vitreous humor), the specialized tissue that serves as a buffer or cushion for bones at joints (cartilage) and the ends of the bones that make up the joints of the body (epiphysis).

Dear all
I'd like to know, if anybody else have observed a quite unusual behavior.
Zimbra Desktop Version 7 is installed on Ubuntu 10.10 - 64-Bit version.
I replaced OpenJRE with Sun JavaRE and used getlibs for loading some 32-bit libraries and finally I was eager to get Zimbra 7 running (allthough I cannot give a step by step guideline on how to do this).
However following happens:
Zimbra starts downloading folders and emails from my Exchange 2010 server (I got a larger email box: around 1.4 GB). On this I made two observations:
- Folder names should not contain a "\" (at least such folder names are creating error messages within the zdesktop.log file
- Entire Path length seems also to be limited (at least I had to shorten folder names in order to eliminate error messages)
But the most funny story is, that all emails are shown regardless which folder I select. Switching folders does not change anything on the displayed emails. It does not matter, if you select "Drafts", "Sent", "Inbox", etc - you always see all emails.
In addition, there is also no sync on the calendar with Esxchange.
I've also tried the latest beta of Zimbra - idendical symptoms.
In the error console I see thousands of messages like:
Warning: reference to undefined property window._mouseEventCaptureObj
Source File: http://127.0.0.1:32768/zimbra/js/Sta...v=110411163457
Line: 9200
Have anyone else seen those issues already?
Any feedback is more than welcome!

Trip's Conkeldurr
this wiki
This Conkeldurr is a Fighting-type Pokémon owned by Trip.
It first appeared as a Timburr in Ash and Trip's Third Battle!. It fought against Ash's Oshawott, using Strength to block Water Gun and Low Sweep to trip Oshawott. Oshawott attacks with Razor Shell, which makes Timburr leave it's wooden pillar to attacks with DynamicPunch. The Razor Shell wins, and Timburr is knocked out.
At the first round of the Don Battle Tournament, it was revealed to have evolved into a Gurdurr prior to Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!, where it battled against Cilan's Dwebble. It took control of the battle and dodged every single attack Dwebble had, while striking back with everything he had, which even cracked Dwebble's shell with Rock Smash. However, its second attack of Rock Smash failed when Dwebble retreats but used a powerful Stone Edge to score a direct hit. Then it tried to use DynamicPunch to hit Dwebble but its too fast for it to land an attack everytime it dodged. So far, Gurdurr tried to swing its steel beam to knock Dwebble off but its lured in when Dwebble jump up and use Shell Smash to increase its attack power, and use Rock Slide to land on top of Gurdurr burying it. After being separated from his steel beam, he was defeated by a single Slash as it got out of the rocks from Rock Slide trying to retrieve its steel beam.
It appeared in its final stage as Conkeldurr in The Clubsplosion Begins! and was revealed to have evolved prior to this episode.
In Searching for the Clubultimate!, he battled Bianca's Emboar in the preliminary matchups. He easily blocked Emboar's newly learned attacks, Arm Thrust and Hammer Arm. Then swings the pillars around to extinguish Emboar's Flamethrower and then used his concrete pillars to smash him with Strength to hit him to the ground as it jumps to the air to dodge. It then used Bulk Up, followed by Rock Tomb, to both damage and trap Emboar. Emboar tried to break free with Arm Thrust, but it was useless. As the episode ended, Conkeldurr launched a powerful Stone Edge on an exhausted Emboar to seemingly end it. In the next episode, Emboar survived the hit and caught the stones from the Stone Edge after responding to Bianca's passion and plea and threw them back with Fling. Conkeldurr still maintained control of the battle and batted them back at Emboar, but he came through and snatched both of Conkeldurr's concrete pillars from it. He was then easily defeated when Emboar threw the pillars back with Fling again.

- English: Bill Rogers
- Though Conkeldurr has an impressive moveset, it has an extremely low endurance for all its battles; it was defeated by one attack. As a Timburr, it was defeated by one Razor Shell from Ash's Oshawott. As a Gurdurr, it was defeated by one Rock Slide and Slash attacks (each). As a Conkeldurr, it was defeated just by having its pillars thrown at it. And in all three battles, it remained untouched for most of it and did major damage to the foe throughout most of the battle, but lost horribly in the end.
- Furthermore, every loss was because it got separated from it's weapon, a wood/steel/concrete pillar(s). As a Timburr, it left it to use Dynamic Punch. As a Gurdurr, it was unable to reach it due to being trapped by Rock Slide. And as a Conkeldurr, they were snatched away from it.
- From Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open! to Iris and the Rogue Dragonite! (a span of 65 episodes) Conkeldurr was the only used Pokémon on Trip's party. However, he has not been used after Servine's debut as a Serperior.

Overlooked Safety - Your ShopWritten by on May 1, 2008 Contributors: Pete Raskovic The Brand-New ABC Supply Urban Force Racing Shop Has The Best Of Everything, But Since The Team Is Made Up Of High School Students They Are Constantly Under The Microscope Of OSHA
Mention the word "safety" in racing circles and the conversation will instantly turn to helmets, firesuits or any other number of safety devices like a head and neck restraint (you wear one right?). However, safety in racing really starts far away from the track. It starts in the shop. It may sound trivial or even silly but we all know at least one racer who could easily qualify as the featured project on that cable TV show "Clean Sweep."
I have a friend, who for the purposes of his avoiding further embarrassment, shall remain nameless. Anyway, my friend, let's call him Gary for the sake of this article, is a shorttrack racer from up North who races in a weekly division. Gary would qualify for that show. Like most short-trackers, Gary has a day job and spends the weeknights working on the racecar and the weekends racing. It's a family affair as Gary has a wife and two kids. And like most racers, Gary is mechanically inclined, as such, he gets a big list of honeydo's. One day, Gary is working on that list and honey-do item No. 6 required him to grind a metal support bracket for a bathroom remodel. With the grinder wheel humming and the sparks flying, Gary got the bracket done quickly and headed upstairs to the bathroom.
When Gary's wife (we'll call her Debbie) came home with the kids (let's call them Olivia and Jake) about 10 minutes later, she found the garage engulfed in flames. The sparksfrom the grinder landed on some soiled rags that were in the corner. Gary never knew what happened. His garage has no smoke detector and he was on the other side of the house working in the bathroom.
Thankfully Debbie came home in time to see it and called the fire department. Fortunately Gary's racecar was on the trailer behind the house. Unfortunately, Gary's new front nose, four new tires, new gauge cluster and many of his tools were lost.
The point of this story is to get you thinking about safety in everything you do as a racer, from the shop to the tow rig to the pits to the track. But it all starts in the shop. If you can't keep that place clean, neat and safe how can you run a tight ship at the track?
To get a good idea of some often overlooked safety points, we grabbed the camera and opened the doors to Urban Force Racing's brand-new race shop up in Beloit, Wisc. Now this team has graced the pages of CIRCLE TRACK in the past. You may remember them from the Not Your Typical Race Shop story in the August 2007 issue. Since the team is made up solely of high school students, team manager Pete Raskovic has to be a stickler when it comes to safety procedures in the shop. They make the perfect partner for this story because of that high school connection which constantly puts the team under the watch of OSHA. For example, Pete has to keep Material Safety Data Sheets or MSDS on hand for every chemical he has in the shop. You may think "big deal" but consider this-your race team could also be required, by law, to have MSDS on hand especially if you're incorporated and run your team like a business.
Now that's just one example, and there're many more. Pete took time out of building the latest Circle Track project car to give us some tips on, how to run a safe shop. So, let's have a look.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Urban Force's shop has a clearly marked, brightly-painted storage cabinet specifically for fuels and flammable liquids. So should your shop.Inside that clearly-marked cabinet is a pair of full fuel jugs. Notice how neat everything is around them.After changing the oil in a motor, Edgar Delgado pours the used oil into a storage container that will be emptied periodically. While not all of us have Safety Kleen showing up to the shop weekly, you still need to dispose of used oil properly.This one is a no-brainer. After pouring out the used oil, Edgar wiped up a small spill with a rag then threw the rag out into a covered metal garbage can. Shop rags really aren't that expensive and leaving them lying around creates a fire hazard, just ask Gary.Speaking of fire hazards, you should have at least one and probably two fire extinguishers on hand at all times, and no, the racecar's on-board system doesn't count. The size, number and type of fire extinguisher required depends on the size of your shop. Check with your local fire station for more details.It may be one of the most overused clichs around, but lift with your knees not with your back is excellent advice. Here, team members Ken Milner (left) and Matt Carrell show the proper way to lift and move their Winters rearend.A clean work area is a safe work area, another clich, we know, but it's sound advice. Notice how free of clutter Bill Mcnely's work space is, allowing him more room to focus on the task at hand.When you're done working, it's always a good idea to clean your tools. They are not cheap and it never ceases to amaze us here at Circle Track how some racers treat their tools. Think about it this way, your tools are your link to a winning car, if they're not in tip top shape, your work suffers and that will eventually translate onto the track.
Emptying the garbage can that contains rags that have been contaminated with fuel, oil or grease is an easy way to reduce the fire hazard around your shop.OSHA regs require Raskovic to keep a fully-stocked first aid kit and first aid manual on hand and easily accessible at all times.Any Boy Scout would be proud of this first aid kit. It contains a wide variety of bandages, tape, scissors/forecepts, eye wash, antibacterial ointment and more.Raskovic is a self-described "pain in the ass" to his students when it comes to hand washing. "No matter how clean you keep your shop, there's a lot of nasty stuff around and one of the easiest ways to avoid infection is to wash your hands frequently," he says.Hand lotion is not something you normally find in a race shop, but Raskovic keeps it handy in his. All that hand washing coupled with the frosty Wisconsin temperatures can lead to cracked skin on your hands, something that makes turning wrenches a less than pleasant experience, especially if those cracks get infected.

I have been hunting out of a camper the last few years. This year I bought a wall tent and am wanting to hunt out of it. Been a while, I use to hunt out of a tent when I was younger. But mainly I want to know what tricks or must haves you guys have for your camp. Like Cots, pads, tarps, tables, lighting, ..... I have seen boot dryers that stab into the ground and you hang your boots off of them next to the stove. I am wanting to get the bunkbed cots to save room, Good idea? Lets see some pictures of your setup.

BETHESDA, Md. (WUSA9) -- CBS Sportscaster Jim Nantz, who has been with the network since 1985 and voiced play-by-play for The NFL ON CBS since 2004, spoke to us this weekend at the AT & T National Golf Tournament.
VIEW: Jim Nantz' Bio
Nantz talked to WUSA 9's Mike Hydeck. You can see the full 10 minute long interview above.
Hydeck asked Nantz if he'd ever seen a tournament like the AT & T National that has brought in millions of dollars a year but members are seriously discussing getting rid of it.
Nantz replied, "No, there really aren't any other examples I can come up with but Congressional has such a rich history and, you know, it's a balancing act. How much do you want to try to extend that history, create more history? At the same time, do you want to give up your golf course in the middle of your prime season? So I can understand that.
I look at it as a real blessing that with the tour that we get to come back here every year and this is one of the real old, classical courses we have, it's one of the finest courses in the world and I give it serious consideration as one of the greatest gifts we have on the PGA tour."
Tiger Woods went pro around the age of 21. At the AT & T National on Friday, 19-year-old Jordan Spieth extended his streak to 29 holes without a bogey. Nantz said he thought Spieth wasn't getting enough attention for his accomplishments.
"Nineteen years old, he's ahead as a professional, he's ahead of the incredible pace that was set by Tiger. And if he wins this thing tomorrow, we're talking the youngest winner on the PGA tour since 1931," said Nantz on Saturday.
As for the future of Spieth, Nantz said, "Jordan Spieth is going to be one of the great players that we have from our country and around the world. I'm excited about it."

Eigenvalue Analysis of a Crankshaft
Application ID: 986
This model describes a modal analysis of a crankshaft. The pistons' reciprocating movement is transferred to the crankshaft through connecting rods by means of crankshaft throws.
The forces, torques, and bending moments, which are highly variable both in time and space, subject the crankshaft to very high and complex loading. The crankshaft design must therefore incorporate careful and precise calculations of the vibrational characteristics.

1932 Ford Pickup- ReincarnationWritten by Chuck Vranas on August 11, 2008 Jim Gove Gives A Derelict Old Hot Rod A New Lease On Life
Picture a roulette wheel spinning at full revolution, with all eyes watching in a Vegas casino. Round and round it goes, where it will stop nobody knows! Much like a search for vintage tin taking place anywhere across the country, as hot rodders are always on the prowl for stock from which to build their next dream, you never know what that next phone call will yield. Whether you are going by word of mouth, the local newspaper, want-ads, or eBay, you never know what might be languishing in a dark garage when you make that follow-up call to go and check out just what is being put up for sale. Sure, sometimes that visit is a total waste of time when the stuff being offered up is misrepresented or just plain bad, but every once in a while that ball on the roulette wheel stops in just the right spot, yielding a total score.
Jim Gove of Natick, Massachusetts, is no stranger to the hunt for vintage tin. As a member of the Alter Boys, regular readers will recall his definitive hardcore Caddy-powered '30 Ford roadster. With its iconic sectioned '39 Ford truck grille, heavily chopped windshield, and channeled good looks, it helped set the pace for the East Coast scene countless years ago. For his next project, Jim decided it was time for a change of pace, and he started seeking out the parts to start work on a pickup truck project. Following up on a small listing in the local want ads, Jim came across what was left of an old hot-rodded, channeled Deuce hauler. Resting on a '34 spine that obviously had seen quite a bit of action over the years, it was now a picked-over hulk that had been left for dead. A deal was struck, and Jim towed the remnants home, where he started to examine his latest find with fellow club member Pete Flaven, before tearing it down for the rebuild. At first glance, it was apparent that this truck had run numerous engine combinations over the years and that its hard life only added to the mystery of its past.
It wasn't long before the truck was in pieces and Jim started to map out its rebirth, beginning with a freshening-up of its original '34 chassis. The chassis was boxed for added strength, while the front suspension chores started with an original dropped Ford axle mated to '40 Ford spindles and a stock wishbone. An original front spring and Ford hydraulic lever shocks even out all the bumps. Out back, Jim installed a rebuilt '41 Ford rear, which was filled with 3.78:1 gears cushioned by an original factory spring and new tube shocks. To be sure he could stop the truck on a dime, a complete rebuilt set of '48 Ford drums was installed, watched over by a dual master cylinder and '39 Ford pedals. The final icing on the chassis included a set of 16-inch steelies wrapped in a set of big 'n' little Firestone wide whites. With any scratch buildup, the owner's personality always infuses itself in determining which route to take when it comes to attitude. Nothing says hot rod better than an evil V-8 bolted in between the rails, and Jim decided nothing would look better than a vintage '53 Chrysler Hemi. After locating a suitable engine to start with, he had Frank Lamb of Gorham, Maine, punch it out to 338 ci and fill it with plenty of beefy parts to make it a true performer. Anchored by a steel crank, Frank added stock rods and Badger slugs, which get plenty of work, thanks to an Isky stick and a set of reworked heads. Topping off the engine is a rare polished Edmunds two-pot intake breathing through a pair of Carter carbs wearing helmet-style air cleaners. Linked to a '39 Ford transmission by way of a vintage Cragar adapter, power makes its way to the '41 Ford rear with a '34 Ford torque tube.
As the project moved forward, Jim's initial intent of having a gritty primered pickup gave way to adding plenty of detail to the truck, with loads of attention being paid to each and every step. Closer inspection to a number of unique characteristics the truck possessed-including its square rollbar, its pushbar bumper mounts, its steering arm, and countless holes in the roof-continued to raise question of the truck's past. A closer look in the East Coast's most noteworthy history book, Cool Cars, Square Roll Bars, by Arnie and Bernie Shuman, proved Jim indeed possessed a truck that had seen time racing in the 1950s at both dragstrips in Orange, Massachusetts, and Sanford, Maine, as well as seeing duty as a push vehicle for stock cars at Riverside Speedway. Further assistance from another good friend, Roger Bergquist, provided additional backup, with other vintage photos and magazine snippets from back in the day, that Jim indeed now owned Norm Card's old racer.
When it came time to tend to the body and bed of the truck, Jim opted to retain the original 6-inch channel that was put in place by Norm, in addition to chopping the lid 4 inch to give the truck an aggressive look. While ironing out the rest of the body to erase 70-plus years of abuse, Jim added new bead-rolled floors, custom-made rear cab corners, and a custom-fab'd rear cab panel to clear the dramatic channel job. Once all the metalwork was completed, Jim took everything straight to the paint booth, where he laid down lustrous coats of DuPont Washington Blue gloss, giving the truck a true nostalgic look. To add the final bit of detailing to the fresh new shine, Hotrod Jen was called in to lay down some of her well-known fine lines to the truck's '32 Ford commercial grille shell.
Wanting to be sure that the bed was as well-detailed as the rest of the truck, Jim worked with his dad, Steve, on the custom-cut red oak flooring, which they accented with just enough polished stainless steel. Looking to the interior of the truck, Jim wanted to retain a clean and simple look that would properly echo the truck's past, so he reupholstered a simple bench seat with black vinyl accented by gray vinyl door and kick panels. He retained the original dashboard of unknown origin to keep track of all the vitals, along with its polished aluminum insert filled with a combination of '50 Plymouth and Stewart Warner gauges; a classic old heater fends off the cold New England mornings.
This truck is truly one to see in person, with is signature East Coast styling and past heritage riding on its rails. Jim has already driven it thousands of trouble-free miles, including numerous reliability runs, and to us, that's just plain bitchin'!

Frank Lamb assembled a Hemi jam-packed with all the right goods, including Badger pistons, an Isky thump, a vintage Mallory ignition to light the fire, and an Edmunds two-pot intake topped with a pair of Carters to suck plenty of air.Jim filled the interior with a basic black vinyl bench complemented by gray side panels. Steering is by way of a '40 Ford truck wheel linked to a '34 Ford column, while the shifting duties are handled by a '39 Ford unit. The '50 Plymouth gauges are just plain neat, especially when complemented by Stewart Warner Wings gauges.
