I bought this as my aging eyes have problems reading small print. It does magnify the print and for the price, it is a good magnifier. It is quite attractive as well. It does not appear to magnify 5X....more like 3X. Even so, it's good.
After searching for 5X Magnifiers on the Internet I was fortunate to find these 1.7 diameter Personal Magnifiers and delighted to receive both the gold and silver handled items that were beautifula and of good quality. Have been using them daily. The slip in soft case was perfect to carry in my purse. May I suggest that you place your 5X lens in your lighted Mighty Bright Pendent Product as well? Thank you.

Daniel's studio was a slightly worn but clean and nice place in a quiet neighbourhood. A relief after the hustle and bustle of London's inner city. Underground and busses very near, some shops and pubs close by. Still : you are not renting from a private person, but from a well organised little company.
Even if Daniel's team is very friendly to manage the stay, the flay is certainly not what I will call "high standard".
The place is extremely noisy simply because of light walls. Walls are full of cracks.
Neighborhood is very pleasant and access by tube really easy.
Vinimos a pasar un par de días porque nos mudamos de una casa a otra y a la que ibamos no estaba lista entonces. En general está muy bien en todos los sentidos, limpieza, decoración, cocina, etc. solo echamos de menos un microondas. Es algo caro pero se entiende por la localizacion , que es ademas de centrica, cercana a Camden Town y Kentisth town, una zona muy segura.
Un pequeño detalle negativo es que costaba muchísimo regular el agua de la ducha y el agua, si bien clara pero olía como a tubería antigua.
daniel is an terrific host! he's super responsive. great location and very central. super happy!
Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your help.
The studio was nice. I loved Belsize Avenue. It's a pretty street where you can find lovely restaurants. The metro is in 3 minutes walk from the flat...
We had a very nice week end in London...

I'm curious why people pick the avatar's and screen names they do. I assume they are hobbies or favorite players or something you find funny.

|Energy expo to be held
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
People have probably heard a lot about solar energy and are now truly wondering—is solar energy viable? How much does it cost? Does it really work?
Two dates and locations have been scheduled for Energy Expo 2012 where information will be shared on solar energy. The first date will be Friday, April 27 in Holyoke at Phillips County Event Center from 12:30-4:30 p.m.
The second date is scheduled for Saturday, April 28 at Country Steakout Restaurant in Fort Morgan from 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Solar PV panels (short for 'photovoltaic') were introduced. They were big, clunky and costly. At one point, installed cost ran about $6-10 per watt, or around $40,000-80,000 to install enough to replace a whole home's energy consumption. Interest was piqued, but it was not readily attainable. Solar was local, but at those prices, not a lot of people jumped.
Fast-forward 30 years. In 2010, President Barack Obama installed solar panels on the White House, the Denver Museum of Natural History installed solar, and once again, local folks are selling solar panels. Today, they are not clunky, they are much thinner and much more affordable.
Technology has gotten smarter, and, now, people don't have to go "off-grid" to have solar. They can purchase (and now lease) as few as one panel—off-setting how much they buy from the power company. If people produce more than they use, they actually get money back from the power company—though beware—that overage is sold at wholesale rate, not what is paid for power.
To learn more about solar power and cost, CSU Extension is hosting Energy Expo 2012, and bringing in the experts to talk about all of the solar options—making Solar PV once again readily available for the home, business, farm or even a power company.
CSU is bringing in a solar installer (they will talk about the difference between buying and leasing), a power company that has solar in its power mix, COSEIA—the Colorado solar industry association, a clean-energy specialist from campus and the Clean Energy Collective—a company that helps homeowners enter into cooperative agreements with neighbors to have a common location and ownership model, with many beneficiaries.
If one has thought about solar, CSU invites them to Energy Expo 2012. Pre-registration is required by Monday, April 23. Since speakers are coming from across Colorado, lack of registration will result in cancellation of the expo.
For more information, visit bit.ly/solarenergyexpo or call Tim Edgar at 970-522-3200 ext. 276 to request a registration form.
There is a lot of great information about solar energy and several important points. Nothing will be sold at the venue. This is information.
Northeastern Colorado experiences 330 days of sun and the sun resource is better than that of 90 percent of the rest of the whole country. Northeast Colorado is in the perfect location for solar. Regardless of who one's energy provider is, or how much they may already know about solar, CSU hopes that people will learn more at the expo.
Edgar and Rich Mullaney are Community Energy Coordinators with CSU Extension. They are providing information on energy efficiency, conservation of energy and renewable resources to six northeastern counties in Colorado. For more information, contact Edgar at 970-522-3200 ext. 276 or Mullaney at 970-466-2355.

Ocean shipping-Port Security: GAO report provides progress update for CBP's Import Security Filing
October 14, 2010
A report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) stated that data from the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) subsidiary of the Department of Homeland Security found that as of July 2010 roughly 80 percent of U.S.-bound ocean shipments were Import Security Filing—or 10+2—compliant.
In its most basic form, 10+2 requires importers and carriers to electronically submit additional information on cargo at least 24 hours before ocean freight is loaded onto a vessel bound for the U.S.
This additional information requires importers to provide 10 data elements and vessel carriers to provide 2 data elements on containers and their cargo to CBP, adding to the information available to CBP and improving its ability to identify containers that may pose a risk for terrorism for additional scrutiny like scanning or physical inspection, according to an October 2009 report by the GAO on Supply Chain Security.
According to the most recent GAO report, "CBP has assessed the submitted 10+2 data elements for risk factors…[and] access to information on stow plans has enabled CBP to identify more than 1,000 unmanifested containers—containers that are inherently high risk because their contents are not listed on a ship's manifest."
ISF went live last January, following a January 2009 interim final rule, which included a delayed enforcement date (of January 26, 2010) 12 months after the interim final rule took effect. During this one-year period, CBP said it would "show restraint in enforcing the rule…and take into account difficulties that importers may face in complying with the rule as long as importers are making a good faith effort and satisfactory progress toward compliance."
When the delayed enforcement period since expired, CBP can issue liquidated damages of $5,000 per violation for the submission of an inaccurate, incomplete or untimely filing.
And CBP officials said that if goods for which an ISF has not been filed arrive in the U.S., CBP may withhold the release or transfer of the cargo or refuse to grant a permit to unlade for the merchandise, among other actions.
Albert Saphir, president of international trade consultants ABS Consulting in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., told LM that the 80 percent figure for ocean import shipments being ISF-compliant 48 hours prior to arrival in the U.S. is surprisingly low.
"80 percent cooperation 48 hours before arrival does not seem to be very compliant at least in my view," said Sapphire. "But it is light years better than where we were a year ago. As to why there are 15-to-20 percent of shipments with no ISF 48 hours prior to arrival is unclear."
In most cases, other than short sea shipping, vessels in Asia and Europe to U.S. main trade lanes are on the ocean, on average, at least 10-to-20 days, which is a large time gap two days prior to arrival compared to a day prior to sailing, noted Saphir.
This data also indicates that CBP has not yet updated its automated targeting system to take advantage of the data they are getting from ISF, which may be the reason it has not commenced enforcement, he said.
In terms of future recommendations, the GAO report recommended that "CBP should, if it updates its regulatory assessment, include information to improve transparency and completeness, and set time frames and milestones for updating its national security criteria." The GAO added that DHS has said it plans to integrate these updates by November 2010.

AgTC announces results of 8th annual ocean carrier performance survey
June 17, 2013 - LM Editorial
The results of the AgTC's 2013 Ocean Carrier Performance Survey were announced late last week at the 25th Annual Meeting of the Agriculture Transportation Coalition in San Francisco, with APL winning top ranking.
All Annual Survey responses are aggregated, and the individual responses discarded, to assure confidentiality of each shipper's response.
This year's Survey was expanded to gain more insight into agriculture and forest products shippers who completed the Survey. The Survey collected data on the shippers':
- Cargo origins in the US and Canada
- Global cargo destinations
- Volume of cargo/containers shipped each year
- Special equipment and handling requirements
- Mode of transport (truck, rail, barge) used to access the departure ports
The AgTC members were then asked to rate ocean carriers in eleven categories of service. Following are the categories and the two highest ranked carriers in each category. (The full results showing the entire rankings may be shared with individual carriers, upon request)
• Most consistent availability of correct sizes and types of container equipment needed
• Most consistent availability of slots on vessels and equipment needed each week by port and service string
◦ Hapag-Lloyd
◦ Hanjin Shipping
• Best overall document accuracy and efficiency
◦ Yang Ming
• Most accuracy in shipment rating and bill of lading release/turn time
• Most willing to accept shippers' export documentation as close to cargo cut-off as possible
• Best vessel schedules and transit days
◦ Hamburg Sud & 'K' Line (tied)
• Best intermodal door service and availability from shipper facilities or interior gateways
◦ 'K' Line
• Best terminal service and efficiency at US ports
◦ Yang Ming & Evergreen (tied)
• Best terminal service and efficiency at foreign ports
◦ 'K' Line
◦ Hamburg Sud
• Carrier that understands and attempts to adapt to commercial needs of the agriculture community
◦ U.S. Lines
◦ Yang Ming
• Best representatives' response time and ability to address problems
◦ U.S. Lines
The Agriculture Transportation Coalition has been named by leading transport publications as "the principal voice of agriculture exporters in US transportation policy."

(WUSA) -- With the Redskins win over the Eagles, many fans are thinking that the NFC East title is just about theirs. Well, that's true, sort of.
The Redskins do control their own destiny. Simply put, win and they're in. Where there is confusion is what happens if the Redskins lose at home to the Cowboys. Some fans think that since the Giants lost, the Redskins should have clinched the NFC East today.
In the words of Lee Corso, "Not so fast my friend."
Here are the scenarios for who wins the NFC East.
Redskins (9-6)
Remaining games: vs. Dallas (8-7)
For the Redskins, it's real simple. Win and you're in. They would have a better record than everybody in the NFC East.
Cowboys (8-7)
Remaining games: @ Washington (9-6)
Dallas just needs to beat Washington. If the Giants beat the Eagles here's how the division would end up: 1. Dallas (9-7), 2. Washington (9-7), 3. New York Giants (9-7). So, how does the NFL come to that conclusion?
Here's the NFL's rules for a 3-team tiebreaker inside a division:
(Note: If the Giants lose, the same rules apply to the 2-team tiebreaker.)
So, based on those rules, here's how the tiebreaker would play out.
The three losses that hurt the Redskins the most in this scenario: The Panthers game (they're 6-9), the Steelers game (all those dropped passes and RGIII ran for just 8 yards... the Skins rushed for just 86 yards as a team), and the Bengals game (home debut for RGIII).
Conversely, look what the Cowboys did against those three opponents: Panthers (Dan Bailey hits two field goals in last four minutes, Cowboys win by five), Steelers (Cowboys tie game up with 6:55 left in regulation, win in OT on a Dan Bailey field goal), Bengals (Cowboys rally from 19-10 deficit in the fourth quarter to win on a Dan Bailey field goal at the end of the game.)
Sure the Redskins could still make the playoffs as a wild card. But the easiest, and most ideal, path to the playoffs is to win the division and get a home playoff game. Considering that Mike Shanahan worked for Al Davis once upon a time, I wouldn't be surprised if he tells the team on Sunday before the game to "Just win, baby."
Note: To everybody citing the Redskins superior conference record, that's the fourth tiebreaker. If the Redskins and Cowboys had identical records versus common opponents, conference record would apply. In this case, it does not. Also, if the Redskins and Cowboys were battling for a wild card spot, and were in different divisions, conference record is the second tiebreaker after head-to-head record. Because of the NFL's scheduling structure, divisional rivals play very similar schedules with the exception of a couple games. So comparing records versus common opponents carries more weight than conference record.

BEL-RIDGE, Mo. (KSDK) - "Ghost Adventures" is at it again! One month ago they took on the Missouri State Penitentiary, and last week they visited the "exorcist house."
The home, located in the 8400 block of Roanoke Drive near the University of Missouri-St. Louis campus in north St. Louis County, was the subject of "Ghost Adventures'" 100th episode, which aired Friday night.
Zak, Nick, and Aaron visited the home to investigate what is said to be the site of the most famous possession in history. The exorcism took place March 16, 1949, and was portrayed in a book and a 1973 movie, which many consider to be the scariest movie of all time.
STORY: SLU archivist talks about 1949 exorcism
This is a story that has captivated the nation, even after all of these years. It started in Maryland, and ended in St. Louis involving several Jesuits from Saint Louis University.
The story begins with a 13-year-old Maryland boy who started witnessing strange things.
"You know, scratching noises, drippings sounds, sounds of water dripping," said SLU archivist John Waide during a 2012 interview with NewsChannel 5's Pat McGonigle.
The boy, whose identity is a secret but is referred to as "Robbie," started experiencing the weird sounds which eventually escalated to welts and other strange marks on his body after the death of his aunt, who had previously introduced him to a Ouija board.
PDF: Read experts from a SLU priest's diary kept during exorcism
The word "Louis" appeared on the boy's body at one point, and because the boy had family here in St. Louis, his mother decided to bring him here for help.
"Before they agreed to perform the exorcism they made sure the boy had been examined by medical personnel, psychiatrists, psychologists, medical doctors. It's not something that's taken lightly," Waide said.
The 1949 exorcism of Robbie involved Jesuits from SLU, but also required approval of the Archdiocese of St. Louis. It happened primarily in three locations: Robbie's relative's home on Roanoke Drive, the rectory behind the College Church on SLU's campus, and a now-demolished wing of the old Alexian Brothers Hospital in south St. Louis. You can see video of Robbie's bedroom, which appears to still be used as a bedroom, in the embedded episode below this story.
STORY: Do exorcisms still happen today?
This episode of "Ghost Adventures," the crew says one of the reasons they decided to do a lockdown in the "exorcist house" is because of stories they've heard. One of those stories involves a paranormal investigator (whom they've deemed "very credible" and has received validation from the priest who performed the exorcism, Fr. William Bowdern), was walking down into the basement with gear, when he heard feet shuffling and felt a person's presence. He assumed it was the person who was helping him with his gear, but when he went back upstairs he learned that person had never followed him to the basement.
The crew seeks to determine if there are any "lingering, demonic, entities" still in the room the exorcist was performed in, or in any other parts of the house.
The current owner of the home on Roanoke Drive declined an interview in 2012 with NewsChannel 5, but some neighbors did talk about supernatural experiences.
STORY: Neighbors talk about living next door to 'exorcist house'
"Once in a while you might hear voices, but if you grew up with it all of the time, it's normal," said neighbor Jessica Bacchus. "Like you might think you hear things and you may or you may not, but I've been living here all of my life, so I guess that's a norm for me."
Another neighbor, Jean Kustura, was a student at Visitation Academy when the exorcism happened.
"The nuns, when I was in school, the nuns had us pray because we knew about the possible exorcism," said Kustura. "And I knew Fr. Bowdern and Fr. Halloran, and a few of the other Jesuits involved in all of this, and it didn't really make us feel uncomfortable at all. Of course, I do have holy water right next to my bed, just in case."
STORY: What became of exorcist boy 'Robbie'?
So what became of Robbie? Well, Waide says he's still alive and lives in the Washington D.C. area. He is believed to be 78-years-old and fathered several children. He was originally baptized Lutheran, but became a Catholic.
In 1952, Robbie returned to St. Louis to visit with the priests who performed the exorcism. In Fr. Bishop's diary that he kept throughout the exorcism, he wrote:
"Follow up: August 19, 1951. R and his father and mother visited the Brothers. R, now 16 is a fine young man. His father and mother also became Catholic, having received their first Holy Communion on Christmas Day, 1950."
STORY: Pat McGonigle recalls spooky 'exorcist' phone call
After our initial series on the priests at SLU, NewsChannel 5's Pat McGonigle got a phone call from a woman who said she was a nursing student at Alexian Brothers Hospital in south St. Louis during the 1970s.
The woman was a first-year student when she says she started to hear incredibly loud noises from a floor above her during her overnight shift. She said it sounded like homeless people fighting. When she complained about it, a security guard said to her, "Don't you know what happened on that floor? That's the exorcism floor."
She didn't believe him, so the guard took her up on that floor, which was reserved for the criminally insane. It was locked down, shuttered, and iron gates were on either side of it, completely abandoned. He walked her down to the room where the exorcism is said to have taken place.
The woman could see through a tiny window on the door to the room, and says she can still remember clearly what she saw: a bed, a desk, and a chair, all with drop cloths on them. A large black hole was on the wall at the head of the bed. The guard told her that's where the evil spirits exited Robbie's body. The wall had been painted over dozens of times, but the black stain always came back.
A few days later she was on her usual floor when she says the lights flickered. She started walking down the hallway, and past 12 foot statues of angels and saints. When she looked up at one of the stone statues, she says she saw black eyes that went from looking straight ahead, down to her, and then straight ahead again. She threw her tray in the air, ran to the nurse's station, and quit her job.
The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, is now a highly-placed hospital administrator at a St. Louis area hospital.
Though nobody can verify the woman's claims, McGonigle says he believes she was telling the truth.

Ned Yost media session: Salvador Perez
With Kansas City riding a season-long five-game winning streak going into the second game of their four-game set with the Chicago White Sox, Royals manager Ned Yost sat down and spoke about his rookie catcher, Salvador Perez. The 21-year old, who was known for his outstanding defensive skills coming up through the minor leagues, is proving he can handle the bat as well. He's currently on a career-high nine-game hitting streak after going 3-for-4 in last night's 7-2 win over Chicago, falling a home run shy of the cycle.
Perez has hit well so far in the Majors, putting up a batting average of .318 (35-for-110) with an on-base percentage of .350. His 110 at-bats provide a very small sample size, but Yost thinks Perez will be able to hit well throughout his career.
"He's got a nice, compact swing. He puts the ball in play, and he doesn't strike out," Yost said. "Those are pretty key ingredients to having a productive swing."
Even if he doesn't continue his hot hitting, Perez's stellar defense alone could make him one of the game's premier catchers.
"I think he's got a chance to be the total package," said Yost, himself a former big league catcher. "He can be an All-Star-type defender, and he can swing the bat."
"He blocks the ball as well as anybody I've seen. He's got as quick of a release as I've ever seen. He's very coordinated. He's very accurate, and given the opportunity, he's going to throw out a lot of runners."
Yost pointed out that the Royals pitching staff hasn't been giving Perez the best opportunity to throw guys out because they are not getting the ball to the plate quick enough. Getting the ball to the plate quicker is all about a pitcher's delivery, and speeding up their delivery time is going to be a point of emphasis next spring, Yost mentioned.
"If we've got a catcher that can throw like he can, we've got to have the ability to give him the opportunity to throw runners out," Yost said.

NEW YORK (AP) - There may be another billionaire interested in New York City's top job.
Jack Dorsey, co-founder of the popular social media service Twitter and the mobile payments startup Square, reportedly says he wants to be mayor of New York one day. Dorsey is from St. Louis.
In an interview aired Sunday on "60 Minutes," CBS' Lara Logan said Dorsey is serious about moving to the Big Apple someday and running for mayor.
Dorsey tells Logan that what he loves about New York is the electricity he feels when he's in the city.
In Forbes latest ranking of the 400 wealthiest Americans, a list which requires $1.2 billion in net worth for entry, newcomer Dorsey was listed at No. 392. Current mayor, Michael Bloomberg, is listed at No. 10 with an estimated net worth of $25 billion.

So, you want heat? These niggas can front heat
While I'm on my boat party, tryin' to Sunseek
My name is Skate, Board, P
Ladies and Gentlemen
Opening track to Pharrell's debut album
This catchy RnB/hip-hop fusion was one of the fan favorites from the album, although not so popular with the critics.
Sometimes, this is credited to "Pharrell feat. Gwen Stefani", although considering she only contributes five words (though they are repeated and part of the chorus)…

The Kids' Birthday Party
Allergy Party Talk
Tone is everything in communication. With the host parents, be courteous, thoughtful and respectful of their child's special occasion. "Can I do this to help?" will win you friends. "You must" sounds demanding, perhaps intimidating and definitely off-putting.
• It's not a good idea to "wing it" in your pre-party discussions with the hostess. Anaphylaxis is serious and so you want to be organized, clear, succinct and calm. We suggest using this guide to help you during your hostess call and follow-up meeting, adding your own questions to reflect a particular allergy situation.
• Stay focused on the positive, and inspire the hostess to have a similar attitude about your child. Beatrice Povolo speaks of her son's allergies as important but quite manageable. She avoids presenting her son in a negative light. e.g. "Poor Joey really wants to come, but he has these allergies .…"
• Be an allergy ambassador, says Susan Clemens. "Welcome questions, but don't preach." She reminds: "The party is not about your child. Special allowances need to be done smoothly and without fanfare."
• Say thank you, a lot.

NEW MARTINSVILLE - Just a few hours after being voted the top team in the first West Virginia Class A poll of the season, Magnolia's boys' basketball team showed why it was worthy of the distinction.
Mark Winters powered his way to 30 points and 17 rebounds and Zach Wilhoite added 25 points Monday night as the Blue Eagles led from start to finish in besting Linsly, 83-68.
''We were just stunned the other night against River,'' Magnolia coach Dave Tallman said of his team's first loss of the season Saturday night. ''I was anxious to see how we could bounce back against a very good Linsly team.''

Magnolia's Zach Wilhoite goes up for two in front of Linsly's Jibri Blount (23) on Monday night.
Tallman didn't have to wait long to find out.
Magnolia (7-1) jumped out to a 10-2 lead, fueled by a defense that smothered the Cadets' transition game.
The Blue Eagles went to a 2-3 zone that kept Linsly from going inside and forced numerous outside shots, many of which didn't fall.
The Cadets (4-5) were 4 of 13 from the field in the first quarter, while the Blue Eagles became the running team, scoring most of their early baskets in transition.
''It all starts on defense for us,'' Tallman said. ''When we play good defense it really turns into great offense for us.
''And I thought we had better shot selection (than against River). The other night I thought we went a little bit crazy.''
Linsly coach James Wallace agreed the Blue Eagles' defense put his team in a funk.
''It forces you to slow down a bit and we couldn't get out and run as well,'' he said. ''We weren't as aggressive in transition in the first half.''
Magnolia definitely looked like the veteran team, with almost all five players touching the ball at least once in the halfcourt sets. The Blue Eagles only went seven deep until they cleared the bench late.
''We've been pretty much relying on five guys as we develop our bench,'' Tallman said. ''But Garrett (Emch) and Spencer (Campbell) came in and really good minutes.''
Winters was nearly unstoppable during the first 16 minutes, scoring 19 points. And it came on a good night, too, as several college coaches were on hand. His layup was part of an 8-0 run to end the first half, one that ended with the hosts with a commanding 46-25 advantage.
''Magnolia's a veteran team and they knew how to put us away,'' Wallace said.
Linsly came out more aggressive in the second half, but it was too little, too late. Magnolia stretched its lead to 58-31 thanks to a 10-0 run early in the third quarter and was never threatened.
''We were definitely a lot more confident in the second half,'' Wallace said. ''We got back to doing what we do best, which is attacking the basket. We made better decisions and transition and in rebounding the ball.
''I was proud of how this young team came out after halftime and battled.''
Freshman guard Preston Boswell added 11 points for Magnolia.
Jabri Blount paced Linsly with 22 points. Anthony Wallace added 18 points, while Toddy Goodwin-Rowe netted 15.

New Health Care Markets Coming
But whether quality care will result is anybody's guess
January 29, 2013
WASHINGTON — Buying your own health insurance will never be the same....
Tripeton...."won't get stuck with unpaid bills." Who do you think pays those UNPAID BILLS now? The HOSPITALS don't lose money they just pass those costs on to the paying customers.

prisoners and welfare recipients rejoice.the working group might as well quit.everybody quit working.this government can't even pass something as simple as a budget[all of us workers do this every month] so they want to act like they are doing something.a countrywide strike is what they deserve.

The "tax credits" discussed in the article will pay for most of Obamacare. Meaning TRILLIONS more in Federal Government debt. All on the backs of our children.
So our children will be the ones paying for Obamacare. Sorry, kids. You're going to have a very difficult future because we spent TRILLIONS on ourselves and left you with the bill. But it's the "progressive" way, and America is majority Progressive now. The land of the free stuff and the home of the broke.
The good news, kids, is that no Ponzi scam lasts forever, and when this one crashes you'll have the opportunity to start over and do better than we did. And hopefully you'll have learned where Progressivism leads and you'll do a better job of steering your nation away from that type of corruption next time.

But if you don't work you don't have to pay for it, so it is a free ride. The rest of us are taking a heavy hit this year, from the rise in SS taxes (so the politicians/lawyers can continue to loot the public funds)to the rise in costs of health care. Most of us will pay 2K plus. When the debate was in full swing, no one seemed to have any understanding of what was involved. The debate was simply that if you liked Obama as our new rock star politician/celeb then you were FOR Obamacare (yea cool name) and it you were against it you were some rich Republican white guy who was eaten up with greed. And so we got a new sweeping program that devastates the middle class and benefits the insurance companies and health care industry because NOW they are on the Federal teat and won't get stuck with unpaid bills. American health care is now a government program and there has NEVER been a Government program that has succeeded no matter how important.

Average health insurance premium will go up about $2500 according to the industry people.
There IS no free ride, FOOLS! Take in people with pre-existing conditions, SOMEBODY has to pay.
Like YOU???

1st Street Rod Nationals - The Road to Peoria - Expanded For WebWritten by on August 7, 2007 Contributors: Dave Lukkari, Ken Grimes, Andy Brizio How The Biggest Street Rod Event Got Started
The NSRA Street Rod Nationals is the granddaddy of events that pulls street rodders together from every corner of the U.S. But did you know that a couple of fishing buddies at R&C kick started the whole shebang?
The year was 1970. The average cost of a new home was $26,000. Regular gas was 36 cents a gallon.
I thought it would be fun to revisit Tom "Stroker McGurk" Medley-since I wrote about the beloved Rod & Custom former publisher in the June 2000 issue of R&C-plus learn, firsthand, from Tom how the Nats got started. Trying to get a straight answer out of a gag cartoonist is another matter. Tom's speech is laced with laughter because he is constantly tickling his own funny bone.
Tom got involved with R&C in the late '60s after moving over from Hot Rod magazine. He recognized that street rodders had pulled away from the hardcore hot rod racers who read HRM. Tom saw a need to not only cover street rods in R&C, but promote a national car show as well. "Street rodding is practically a religion," Tom declared, and he had the perfect pulpit to spread the gospel: Rod & Custom.
"Pete (Petersen) asked me if I wanted to take over R&C when I was advertising manager of Hot Rod," Tom began. "He asked me, if I did, which way I wanted to go editorially. I said, no drag racing-that's for Car Craft. Let Hot Rod do the competition stuff; we're going to the street ... street rod stuff. None of those guys had much faith in the street rods. Pete left me alone to do what I wanted to do.
"We didn't get entirely away from racing," continued Tom. "We still went to Bonneville, covered stuff like the '70 Baja 500 (where rodders like Ray Brock, Ak Miller, and Mickey Thompson competed). Guys who are interested in cars are interested in anything with wheels. We manufactured the Street Rod Nationals. When I had R&C, I had the perfect platform that other publications didn't have. We had a way to the source-street rodders every month.
"(LeRoi) 'Tex' (Smith) and I used to talk all the time about trying to get a street rod nationals going. We picked out a bunch of guys who were in this car club called the Slo-Pokes in Peoria, Illinois. The reason we picked Peoria was it was almost the center of the population of the U.S.
"I had to go back to Peoria a couple of times to talk to the mayor and the city council to let them know we weren't a bunch of greasy fingered motorcycle guys. We told them we didn't know how many people would attend.
"We couldn't get an OK from the 7th floor (Petersen Publishing upper management), but we were already into this thing so we went ahead and did it. We had to scrape together some money so we could get on with it." Through the cooperation of Gary Magner of the Minnesota Street Rod Association, which jointly hosted the event, the run to "Big P Nats" began to take shape.
Many states were passing laws that were detrimental to the sport. Street rodders of the '60s had become lightning rods, much like the hot rodders of the '40s. The public perception was poor. Tom wanted more than an association dedicated to a yearly car show-he wanted clout.
"Street is Neat" was more than a catchy phrase coined by Tom. He surrounded himself with a now-legendary staff that was as proficient at changing typewriter ribbons (remember those?) as they were changing a cam in a Riley four-port: Editor Bud Bryan, Associate Editor Jim "Jake" Jacobs, and freelancer Tex Smith.
"The idea of having a street rod nationals blossomed right in Tom Medley's office," Bud stated. "We all went, "Let's do it!' The sport, at that point, was fragmented nationally. The Midwest and the East Coast guys didn't know much about the West Coast guys, and visa versa. Our plans were to get these guys together. Everybody was talking about cruises, but not many ventured out of state."
One of the reasons Tom chose "Jitney Jake" to become a staffer at R&C was he not only had a Ph.D. in early Ford parts, he was a street rodder to the core. "My daily driver was my street rod," Jake said. "I didn't own a store-bought automobile."
Tex Smith met Tom in 1957 when he was an associate editor with HRM. "We became instant fishing buddies," Tex said. "When Tom went to R&C, I had already left Petersen Publishing, I think in 1963, and began freelancing for a number of aircraft publications. On staff, I was making $125 a week. The year that I quit, I was making over $30,000 freelancing. I was busting my butt, but I was making some bread. I wasn't about to go back on the staff."
Tex began freelancing in a big way for R&C: "Tom and I were fishing all of the time and we got to talking about where to take R&C. We felt that traditional street rodding was making a move and nobody was covering it," Tex said. "None of the other publications wanted anything to do with it. The advertisers felt that there was no market in street rodding and would not advertise at first. We got that niche and really took it over.
"We heard about this group in Madison, Wisconsin, that held some kind of event they called The Mid-States Rod Roundup with about a hundred or so rods. That sparked an idea," Tex continued. "Tom and I decided we would have the Rod & Custom Street Rod Nationals, which is what we called it.
"The problem was, R&C didn't have any feed money to put on such an event. We didn't have five bucks," laughed Tex.
What the boys came up with was a plan to fund the project. Tex had some articles in R&C, like "How to Start a Car Club," so "when I got the check," he said, "I cashed it and gave the cash to Tom. That's how we got around [the money issue]. I think we had $700 to fund the first event."
The June '70 issue of R&C began promoting the August event: "It's official," began Tom's article. "All you thousands of street-oriented car enthusiasts are finally going to have a Big Thing all your own. All Roads Lead to Peoria."
R&C Americruise In The Making
Excitement and adventure awaited the rodders boogying across the country. Those experiences have stayed with those who went-including Bud, who rode shotgun in Jake's newly constructed '29 Model A panel truck. The two stopped at roadside diners and slept under the stars along the way.
"America was different then," pondered Jake. "You could sleep by the side of the road without worrying about getting robbed or worse."
Jake was a veteran when it came to long-distance driving, having driven to Iowa from California in his Model A pickup two years before Peoria, plus a number of trips with his folks. "I remember riding with my parents back to Iowa when they couldn't wait to get to Vegas. Not for the casinos, but to get to one of the air-conditioned department stores to cool off. I knew early on what it took to drive cross-county. I knew what to take and what not to take. But baling wire was a must," laughed Jake. "I actually wrapped it around the valve stem to keep a tire from going down on the trip.
"Every time my foot would slip off the spoon (throttle pedal) on the trip to Peoria, Bud would sit bolt-upright in the seat thinking something had happened," Jake continued. "Bud thought you couldn't drive an old Model A from California to Peoria without something going wrong."
Bud's reasoning was a bit different-he said the pedal was so "slippery" because Jake was falling asleep at the wheel.
Jake hadn't earned the handle "Jitney Jake" for nothing. He spotted a pile of old cars on a farmer's property in the middle of Nebraska. Unfortunately Bud ended up in the hospital in the process. Not from the farmer's blunderbuss either: "We asked the farmer if we could buy some parts," Bud said. "Jake had a couple of shop towel bags. The farmer said we could fill the bags for 10 bucks a bag. Jacobs got a set of original '29 headlights; I got a dash panel and an instrument cluster with a cat-eye glass gauge in it. When I released the pressure in the gas gauge line, it stirred up a nest of hornets in the seat and they stung me on both arms."
Tex traveled to Peoria pulling a tent trailer with his Chevy Suburban and camped in the hayfield where the event was held, along his wife, Peggy, his three girls, and his son.
Ken Grimes of Wellsville, Ohio, (who supplied many of the photos of the first Nats) motored from eastern Ohio to the Nats. "As soon as R&C announced it, me and my buddy Bill Achberger decided we were going," Ken said. "Back then, you built a car to go maybe 20 or 30 miles to a car show, not through several states. We took Achberger's 8-inch channeled Model A coupe with the gas tank in the trunk, so you know how much space we had. Bill still owns the coupe. We didn't have reservations or anything; it was something that we had never experienced before. Seeing cars that we'd seen in the magazines and meeting Tom Medley, Bud Brian, and Jim Jacobs was like meeting your heroes. I met people there I still see every year at the Street Rod Nationals. I know people all over the country because of it."
The Nats
"We're about to launch the most popular hot rodding event ever," Tom wrote in his introductory article publicizing the Nats. This was to be more than a car show. Tom and his staff had an action-packed event in store for the participants. Besides the hayfield that a Mr. Forest Lemmons allowed them to use for the show 'n' shine, a large parking lot was also pressed into service. There was also vintage tin to rummage through at the Swapfest, plus there was a driving rally taking approximately 45 minutes, which was a whole new experience for the majority of the 200 street rodders who navigated the course.
"Some of the guys went out and found traffic cones to set up a slalom course," explained Tex. "Tom and I circulated, through word of mouth, to head to the parking lot. A map was handed out for the drivers to follow. We called it a Streetkhana."
There was a restaurant right next door to the parking lot where the Streetkhana took place. "I went over there the night before and I told the manager that we had a bunch of guys who were going to be at the place early the next morning for breakfast so he'd better be ready for them," Tom recalled. "'No problem,' he said, 'We handle the conventions around here.' Late the next morning, I went over to get something to eat and I thought a bomb went off in the place. There were dirty dishes everywhere and the cook had stormed out and quit. They had never seen so many guys go through the place in such a short period of time."
Needless to say, all who attended were not disappointed, and deemed the 1st Annual Rod & Custom Street Rod Nationals a success; 1,200 participants and nearly 600 pre-'49 street rods made the show.
After the first Nats, street rods were beginning to be looked upon as more than parade cars or wedding fodder. The event was proof you could actually drive the damned things out of state!
Life After R&C
What has Mr. Medley been doing since he retired? "I've been campaigning vintage go-carts for the last five years," Tom said. "I was in Quincy, Illinois. I drove 4,000 miles round-trip with Randy Holtz; they have a class for drivers 60 years and over, and Randy won with my engine. All of the old-time cart drivers going back to the '50s get together out here in SoCal. We're called the Geritol Gang.
"I was in Alaska (Tom goes every year) terrorizing the salmon," chuckled Tom. "I was up there for the Fourth of July with my high school classmate friend Ken Eichar. Ken took his mighty Huey helicopter (Ken has a fleet of choppers) and hooked onto an American flag, 25 feet high and 50 feet long. We pulled that thing down over the town of Ketchikan. There were 10,000 or 11,000 people there for the big annual Fourth of July parade. Ken kicked the door off on his side and I rode shotgun with him ... he does this every year."
As you can see, the only thing that will slow down Tom Medley is the CHP. No retirement-home living for this street rodder. Stroker-hats off to you, sir.
Tex splits his time between Kauai, Hawaii, Idaho, and an area of Australia that is billed the street rod capital, Castlemaine. He's working on a number of books.
Bud has returned to his roots working part-time at a model train shop (he's a train nut) near Sacramento. But, after going to the Goodguys event in Pleasanton this past year, Bud said, "It got the juices flowing again." He is about to embark on a roadster project after years of being out of the sport.
Jake had a little business going with a guy named Pete (Pete & Jake's Hot Rod Parts), sold it, and semi-retired to his home garage in Apple Valley, California. I joke with Jake (he's a chum) that he should contact Meals on Wheels and NAPA to make house calls; then he'd never have to leave the premises. Plus, his property is starting to look like that farmer with the stack of old cars in Nebraska-tin everywhere! But you wouldn't expect anything less from Jake.
On A Personal Note
It was important to interview the movers and shakers on Sunset Boulevard who put the Nats together. After so many years, I had to become a sleuth to track down Tex and Bud. It was after many dead ends and a phone call to a publishing house in Australia that I learn Tex was back in the states for Bonneville, where I eventually met with him. The same thing goes for Bud Bryan, until Andy Brizio came through.
The gratifying part in locating the old R&C staff was to get these fellows talking to one another after all these years. They had simply lost contact with one another.
The Rod & Custom Street Rod Nationals got ordinary street rodders like Ken Grimes and his friend Bill Achberger to travel-and not 20 or 30 miles in their rods, but in many cases, thousands of miles to attend a car show.
Thanks to the boys on the 3rd floor who wouldn't take no for an answer.
Gettin' There
We left California with five cars to drive to Peoria. I had my '23 T-bucket for which I had won America's Most Beautiful Roadster at the Oakland Roadster Show in 1970, and I wanted to prove to people that you could drive those kinds of cars to car shows. Also along for the trip were Lance Miller in a '23 T-bucket with a blown Chevy, George Solomine in a '32 Ford three-window, Bob Burton in a '23 T Volksrod, and Don Specht in a '15 T roadster.
We left San Francisco and got as far as Reno, where Lance lost a starter and radiator (which fell into the fan). We called back to my shop and had Sue ship a radiator to Cheyenne, Wyoming. Don hooked a 6ft towrope to his roadster and towed Lance 740 miles to Cheyenne doing 70 mph!
After getting repaired and back on the road, Lance lost the blower. Luckily we had a spare intake and carburetor under the hood of Bob's Volksrod. That was the last major repair we had to do and made it into Peoria.
After all of this, and driving 2,000 miles one way, a guy wins the Best Car Award with a car that got there on a trailer. -Andy Brizio

Forest Lemmons of Timberline Farms gave his consent for Tom to use his hayfield for the event. "We used a hay wagon for the trophy presentation," Tom said, "and we had the longest extension cord in life so we could have a microphone."Jim Babbs' It-T-Bits, with 80 sneering horses, got around the tight slalom course like a sports car with the top time of the event. Maybe because Jim probably wore, rather than drove, the Subaru-powered C-cab. Second went to Bob Burton in his VW-powered '23 T. Who said there's no substitute for cubic inches?Ken Grimes and his buddy Bill Achberger decided they were going to Peoria as soon as Ken read about it in R&C. The pair made the trip in Bill's channeled Model A coupe (which he still owns).

May 24, 2016
By: Kara Duffy
April 10, 2013
Thomasville, GA - He was kidnapped and needed help - that's the claim Pastor Calvin Lewis made to a female friend in a phone call back on April 1st.
Once the pair hung up, Lewis' friend called Thomasville Police, asking them to step in, because according to Lewis, his life was in danger.
"He said that he was in Tallahassee Florida at a hotel, and he was being held hostage at gunpoint and the kidnappers were demanding money, $10,000 to be exact," Eric Hampton, Thomasville Police Department, said.
Investigators say Lewis, the pastor of Eden Ministry in Bainbridge, went on to tell his friend that he had been badly beaten up by the kidnappers and that she needed to bring the money quickly. After a series of text messages, Lewis told her the ransom had doubled to $20,000.
Investigators say they were eventually able to get in touch with Lewis themselves, and that's when his story began to fall apart.
"All these things were determined by the detectives that the story that he was telling about the money being wanted or he was going to be hurt or killed was not true," Hampton said.
I spoke to Lewis off camera who said the whole incident was an April Fools prank that he took too far. Lewis said he is going to continue to preach, and although he is not proud of what he did, he says it does not define him.
Lewis turned himself in to authorities Tuesday night. He's charged with filing a false police report and making false statements to law enforcement. He was booked into the Thomas County jail but has since been released on bond.

SMA Connectorized Wilkinson Power Divider
Application ID: 12303
Some conventional three-port power dividers are resistive power dividers and T-junction power dividers. Such dividers are either lossy or not matched to the system reference impedance at all ports. In addition, isolation between two coupled ports is not guaranteed.
The Wilkinson power divider outperforms the lossless T-junction divider and the resistive divider and does not have the issues above mentioned. This example shows how to model such a device.
