State avoids floods, but threat remainsJune 29,2013Vermont officials who were monitoring potential flooding are standing down.
Fears that heavy rains could cause damaging flooding across Vermont less than two years after Tropical Storm Irene turned out to be unfounded Friday morning.
The state reported that all state roads were open and no local road closures were reported.
The storm that officials feared would dump up to four inches of rain on parts of Vermont instead tracked west, causing damage in areas of central New York and in the Adirondacks.

Basically, you live in some city in a new region and you have turned 18. At the age of 18, you are able to get your Tracker License which allows you to work alongside with the Police to catch criminals (essentially, you are a bounty hunter). To get missions you must goto the Wanted Criminal bulletin that is inside of the Police Station ,and these missions are randomly generated. Along with these missions, there are going to be story missions that has to do with catching a group of Pokemon poachers. Also, instead of getting your Pokemon from some Professor, you get it from your father who is also a Tracker. You get to choose from at least 10 starter Pokemon. There are NO gyms or Elite 4 because personally the whole "Become the Pokemon champion" storyline has become quite cliche`. Please critique and give suggestions.

Commercials on TV have a primary goal: to make connections with their prime customer base. Top companies strategically target audiences at specific times of the day and around specific programming to achieve just that goal. This is a tactic that seems easy enough for businesses with big budgets and a team of full-time marketing professionals. Well, good for them.
What about small or local businesses?
You can do this too. It just has to be done differently.
Incorporate your customer email program, restaurant blog or social media outlet as a platform for vibrant images that will reach your targeted customers without paying top dollar.
To get started, first think about the story you want to tell and then how you want to tell it.
When communicating to your target audience, think about what you want them to know about your business. Then, engage your audience with revealing imagery that will tempt as well as solidify a visual memory of your business.
So, how is this done? It's easy and the cost is only a little bit of your time.
For captivating still images, use the free app Instagram. You may have recently heard about it and how Facebook just purchased Instagram for $1 billion. This app allows users to take a picture with a smartphone, choose from various filters and quickly edit the photo to create a specific feel to it. At the touch of a button, these filters transform ordinary snapshots into professionally edited images through alterations in light, focus and color saturation.
The burrito giant Qdoba uses Instagram on their Facebook page to engage customers in day to day happenings, see for yourself here. And in a recent article from Nation's Restaurant News, this very topic was discussed in their article, how to make the most of Instagram in your restaurant.
Just imagine your customers waking up and debating on where to go, what they feel like eating or whether they should just stay home. You can bet that Cheerios is running commercials throughout the morning for exactly this reason. So why should you miss out?
Post a captivating image from your phone to your Facebook or Twitter account just as the grills are warming up.
The same tactic is just as easily used for the happy hour crowd. Put yourself in your customer's shoes; the clock is ticking near 5 PM and fidgety cubicle dwellers are starting to ponder whether they should go home or go out…help them with that decision.
Post something along these lines:
Post an image to your social media page just before happy hour hits. Be the director of your own very short movie and capture something that is alluring to your customers.
Consider images such as:
A bartender stirring a drink
A frothy beer head dripping over a frosty mug
A glimpse of happy customers in your bar
Remember to add a catchy headline to go along with your image that beckons a call to action, such as:
Wakey Wakey Eggs and Bakey!
Fresh keg tapped, oh yeah it's Friday. Wanna Come Over?
The options are only limited to your creativity. Don't let the big dogs have all the fun with commercials. Use free apps to enhance your presence on the web and stay present in your customer's mind.

Illness prompts closure of Vt. schoolMarch 08,2013
BRIDPORT - School has been been canceled for the rest of the week in Bridport after about 80 of the 130 students and staff either called in or went home sick.
The Vermont Health Department is investigating after the illnesses were reported Wednesday at the Bridport Central School. The district canceled school on Thursday and Friday while the building is sanitized.
Symptoms included diarrhea and vomiting and could be caused by the Norovirus, also known as stomach flu, infectious disease epidemiologist Bradley Tompkins told WCAX-TV (http://bit.ly/XRpb6r ) reported.
"This is certainly the environment where Norovirus can easily spread where there are children and a lot of touching of objects," Tompkins said.
Corey Pratt, owner of Pratt's Store, near the the preschool-through-sixth-grade school, said his wife and 11-year-old daughter were sick.
"To have that many in such a short period of time is scary and hopefully they can figure out what the problem is," he said.
The Health Department was testing samples from those who were sick to determine if Norovirus was the cause.

Since 2010, the number of teen suicides has nearly doubled in Clark County — in the past year, three in just one high school. This is shocking.
Why would teens want to end their lives? Was it the relationship with their parents, siblings, friends? Was the pressure to live in a certain way too much?
The county has made an effort to help teens, but I feel like more could be done.
Parents need to keep a closer eye on their teens if the children are showing any signs of depression. Parents have the largest influence on how the child feels and acts. Yet, many parents tend to be too harsh with their teens.
Also, peers at school affect teens' actions and feelings. Objects can be replaced, but people cannot. It isn't until someone is gone that we think about what we could have done to help them. We need to think about ways to prevent it now.
A lot of programs and groups have been put together to try to prevent these teen suicides. But I believe more people need to see that they can make a difference and maybe more articles about these groups (including problems and successes) could help.
More awareness could really save lives.

The weirdest thing is, when I heard on the radio about his concerts, I just had this overwhelming feeling that he wouldn't be doing them. I admit I thought he'd just pull out not die but I just never thought he'd be doing them.
Weird and sad. I still think he was misunderstood and hounded by a cruel world. Ok perhaps I'm wrong and he was what people said and no excuse for that but I just think he was a victim of a world that doesn't care

Two patrol officers from the 101 Precinct acted swiftly on Wednesday night to save at least a dozen people from a fire in their apartment building at 364 Beach 56 Street in Arverne. Police Officers Rich Brady and Jimmy Duncan were on patrol when they saw thick smoke flames coming from apartment 4A on the second floor. The two cops rushed into the building and began banging on doors, moving out the tenants who live nearby the fire apartment. The smoke was so thick that the cops took the 15 residents too the roof and then down another stairway to the street. "We're not heroes," the cops told a reporter at the scene. "We were only doing our job. Fire Department sources say that the first call on the fire came into the 911 system at 8:25 p.m. and that the fire was declared under control at 9 p.m. Nobody was hurt in the fire. Pictured, PO Duncan and PO Brady at the scene after the fire department responded.

Login to Review This Car
1998 Plymouth Neon (2 Reviews)
It's just been a great car...this one is edging up on 200K, so probably nearing its end, but I said that at 140K, and since then it has reliably shipped me from the East Coast to Kansas and back no less than 8 times, to Florida and back twice, transported members of Congress in Washington, DC traffic with the "best A/C on the Hill," and now gets me to either work or school and back 50+ mi. round trip with not much problem. The thing will never pass NJ emissions, but I manage to get around that...by now, the struts are mostly shot, she goes through brake pads like gramma goes through diapers, and the headlights are so oxidized that they aren't bright enough to go over about 60mph because you just can't see that far!
I love my Neon! It is a great daily drive car & is awesome on long haul trips. Very dependable.

When I lived in Southern Florida I had lots of friends from New York and found out about the seltzer man who would come to the house and drop off the seltzer bottles! And the syrups too!!! :) Have been hooked on egg creams ever since! I have introduced them to ND and my hubby loves them! Excellent recipe! Had them last night!!! Always, Jelly :)
I have never had an Egg Cream before but always wanted to try it. I watched a travel show about New York and they mentioned these drinks. I really enjoyed this recipe. I wasn't able to find seltzer water so I used club soda. The taste was amazing...not too sweet with a hint of chocolate. You have to drink these pretty fast because the carbonation goes away fairly quickly. I will be making this often. I'm getting an urge for another one just writing this review. Thanks for sharing a great recipe, cookiedog. Made for March, 2008 Bevvy Tag.
Loved it! Very refreshing drink. thanks Cookiedog! Edited to say that I have become addicted to this drink. I absolutely love it!

Town looking to install new wellJanuary 03,2014Town looking to
install new well
SUTTON The Vermont town of Sutton is looking to install a new well.
The Caledonian Record reported that the Select Board recently reviewed a proposal that would have it borrow up to $150,000 for the replacement of the village water systems well. High nitrate levels are the reason the water system has been a concern for much of 2013.

The Los Angeles Clippers got a boost yesterday as Chris Paul participated in his first full-contact practice this season. He had been sidelined since having surgery to repair a torn ligament in his thumb. The surgery took place after the end of last season and has kept Paul from full practices until now.
According to Arash Markazi of ESPN Los Angeles, Paul took part in the Clippers' full-contact practice in Beijing yesterday. The team is in China to play two exhibition games against the Miami Heat. Paul will not play in China but hopes to play in at least one preseason game says Markazi.
Chris Paul is entering his second season with the Los Angeles Clippers after spending his entire career with the New Orleans Hornets. He came to Los Angeles in a blockbuster trade in December of last year. The Hornets sent Paul to Los Angeles while the Clippers sent Eric Gordon, Al-Farouq Aminu, and a first round draft pick to the Hornets. It was a surprising deal after the Los Angeles Lakers seemed to have completed a trade for Paul not long before only to have it nullified.
Paul helps make the Clippers a far more exciting team. Paired with Blake Griffin, the Clippers are on the upswing. News of Paul's practice is an encouraging sign, and it seems he will be able to participate in at least one preseason game as he hoped. This, of course, means he should be ready for the regular season.

AP Source: Wizards' Markieff Morris detained at Philadelphia Airport
Getty Images
WASHINGTON (AP) — A person familiar with the situation says Washington Wizards forward Markieff Morris was detained at Philadelphia International Airport and then released.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday because Morris was not charged. The person did not specify why Morris was detained.
The Wizards said in a statement they "spoke with Markieff earlier today and will continue to gather more details."
Tinicum Township Police and Morris' lawyer did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.
The 26-year-old Morris is from Philadelphia. The Wizards acquired him from the Phoenix Suns at the NBA trade deadline.
Morris and twin brother Marcus, a forward for the Detroit Pistons, were indicted by an Arizona grand jury last year on felony aggravated assault charges for allegedly beating a man outside a Phoenix recreation center. The case is still pending.
According to a Phoenix police report, Erik Hood said five people including the Morris brothers repeatedly punched and kicked him. All five then left the area in a Rolls-Royce Phantom as bystanders began to appear. Police say it is alleged that Hood was assaulted for sending an inappropriate text message to the Morris brothers' mother.
Russell Westbrook wears all black to potential Warriors elimination game (video)
J Pat Carter/Getty Images
Russell Westbrook arrived at the arena in Golden State dressed for a (very weird) funeral.
The Thunder, up 3-1 in the Western Conference finals, can end the Warriors' season tonight. So, Westbrook dressed ready to give his condolences.
Lest you think this is coincidence, he also wore black for Game 5 against the Mavericks and Game 6 against the Spurs. Jason Potter:
This is something players sometimes do – and I love it. What a great way to who your confidence, and I'm not sure any NBA player has more than Westbrook.
57 players withdraw from 2016 NBA draft
Streeter Lecka/Getty Images
The withdrawal deadline for the 2016 NBA draft is June 13.
But the NCAA, in an effort to treat players better, allowed players to declare for the draft and withdraw by May 25 while maintaining college eligibility. (Yes, this qualifies as better treatment. Giving the players the full extra couple weeks to assess their futures? Not in this cartel.)
So, any college player who wanted to play collegiately next year faced an effective deadline of yesterday.
Of the 117 players who declared early through the American system, 57 are headed back to their college teams.
This list has no big surprises. By this point, most highly touted prospects have already declared their intention.

Gesture: Yes, $1,000 for a "beginner's" camera. But when I see how little $250-$350 buys for a compact camera at a store like Target these days, I understand.
Didn't they discontinue the T2i? They're at a risk, in my opinion, of losing the appeal to consumers as opposed to pros. $1000 for the kit is inching the way up higher than the average lay person can afford, in my opinion. But one pays for quality?

Three people have been taken to a hospital after a car hit the rear of a box truck and went underneath it near Prairie High School.
Shortly before 4 p.m. Thursday, rescuers were called to Northeast 119th Street and 132nd Avenue, said Chief Steve Wrightson with Fire District 3. Firefighters used heavy tools to cut up the car and remove a man and woman inside.
The man who drove the car was taken to a hospital with serious injuries. Wrightson said he didn't know if the injuries were life-threatening.
Also taken to a hospital were a female passenger in the car and the truck driver.
Traffic on 119th Street was being blocked between state Highway 503 and 152nd Avenue.
The Clark County Sheriff's Office is investigating. Also helping at the scene were the Vancouver Fire Department, Clark County Fire & Rescue and AMR Northwest, Wrightson said.

Patented Apr. 14, 1953 GFFHCE STRAND TESTING MACHINE Application August 9, 1946, Serial No. 689,559
6 Claims. (01. 73-460) This invention comprises a machine for testing textile strands in order that they may be subsequently used with assurance that they have the characteristic requirements of elongation, strength and elastic power necessary for their intended purpose.
The machine of my invention may be organized for testing strands by subjecting them either to a predetermined elongation or to a predetermined tension, and for testing strands that are either stretchable or non-stretchable. For example, in winding golf balls of rubber thread, an elongation of ten to one is often specified and it is therefore important to ascertain that all rubber thread delivered to the winding machine is capable of withstanding such elongation without breaking. If breakage occurs in the winding machine, the winding cost is increased and goods of inferior quality produced. The same problem is encountered in textile machinery where stretchable strands are to be employed in weaving and spinning. In addition to rubber thread, rubber covered thread and rayon and nylon thread are purposely or incidentally subjected to elongation, and in these instances it is Very desirable to employ strands which have been tested and proved capable of the required elongation with a comfortable margin of safety.
With these ends in view, the present invention in one aspect comprises a continuously operating machine through which the strand to be tested may be run at high speed and Without requiring any substantial amount of skill or attention on the part of the operator, and in which the strand is subjected to a definite predetermined amount of stretch by being elongated to a degree which thoroughly tests it, meanwhile continuously indicating the instantaneous tension of the strand and acting automatically to stop in case of breakage.
When organized for that purpose, the machine of my invention comprises a strand feeding head rotated at a predetermined peripheral speed in combination with means for feeding an elastic strand to the head at a rate of speed bearing a predetermined fractional ratio to the peripheral speed of the head. Preferably and as herein shown, I employ two rotary strand-feeding heads driven at different rates of linear speed. A weighted member may be employed for engaging the strand as it passes from one head to the other and indicating the instantaneous tension therein. Automatic stopping means are also provided which act upon the strand tensioned between the two heads for stopping the machine in case of breakage.
In another aspect my invention comprises a machine in which the rotation of one of the strand-feeding heads is retarded so that a controlled amount of tension is developed in the strand passing from one to the other. This result may be accomplished by gearing introduced between the two heads, in which case the strand is subjected to a controlled elongation and tension, or by a brake acting on the in-feeding head, in which case the strand is subjected to a controlled amount of tension.
Other features of the invention relate more specifically to features of the strand feeding heads. These are preferably of the capstan type disclosed in U. S. Letters Patent No. 1,847,161, March 1, 1932, Alden, and comprise a set of threaded spindles which rotate collectively with the head as well as individually, with the result that the various turns of the strand around the capstan are maintained out of engagement with each other during the pulling or advancing movement. I have found that the accuracy of operation and life of such strand feeding heads are substantially improved by providing a rotary member for supporting the outer ends of the threaded spindles thus holding them accurately against deflection from their proper axes of rotation and substantially reducing Wear on their bearings.
Going more into detail, I have found it also desirable to provide means for supporting the thread spindles against circumferential displacement. As herein shown,- such means may comprise radially projecting arms extending on both sides of each threaded spindle, being normally arranged to clear the spindle but located permanently in position to arrest and prevent any circumferential displacement, particularly such as might otherwise occur at the outer ends of' the spindles.
These and other features and advantages of the invention will be best understood and appreciated from the following description of a preferred embodiment thereof, selected for purposes of illustration and shown in the. accompanying drawings, in which:

Fig. 2 is a view inelevation of the clamping device for the indicator as seen with its cover removed,
Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2,

Fig. 8 is a wiring diagram of the machine,
Fig. 9 is a view in perspective of a winding head of modified construction,
Fig. 10 is a fragmentary view of the same,
Fig. 11 is an end view,
Fig. 12 is a view of the machine in front elevation modified to subject the strand to controlled tension, and
Fig. 13 is a sectional view on the line I3I3 of Fig. 12.
The machine in its illustrated embodiment comprises a rectangular base It] from which rises a front plate I I carrying the moving parts of the machine and being provided with a cover plate I2 which is removably secured to the base plate by bolts having knurled nuts I3. A drawing-in head I4 and a strand delivering head I5 project forwardly from the front plate I I at substantially the same level. These heads are identical in construction except that the head I5 is located further out from the face of the plate I I than the head It so that a strand passing from the outer ends of the spindles I6 of the head I4 will follow a straight path in reaching the inner ends of the spindles I6 of the head I5 without the necessity of a guide.
As shown in Fig. 5, each spindle It has a shaft of reduced diameter which is mounted in needle bearings I! in the head I4, and each shaft is provided with a pinion I 8 acting as one member of a planetary system including a central gear I9 which is held stationary by being pinned to a collar bolted to the front plate II. Ihe gear I 9 is provided on its rear face with a sleeve 2!! which fits into the stationary collar 25 which is bolted to the front plate II and supports the entire strand feeding head. Passing through the sleeve 20 is a central shaft 2| journaled in needle bearings 22 which are mounted in a bushing set in the front plate I I. The shaft 2] is fastened by a set screw 23 to a hub formed on the head I4 and drives the head with its six threaded spindles, the latter. being also individually rotated by the planetary gearing above described.
At its outer end the shaft 2I carries a supporting disk 24 contacting at its circumference with all of the spindles I6 and by rolling contact holding them positively against inward radial displacement, The provision of the supporting disk not only reduces wear on the spindle bearings but maintains them accurately in position and eliminates lost motion therein.
At its inner 'end the shaft 2I carries a driving pinion 2'I meshing with an idle pinion 28 rotatable with an intermediate shaft 29 journaled in the front plate and carrying also a large gear 30. The gear 30 in turn meshes with a gear 3I fast on a second intermediate shaft 32 projecting forwardly from a swing plate 33 pivotally mounted to swing about a horizontal axis provided by the shaft 2I' of the strand delivering I5. The shaft 32 projects outwardly through a segmental slot 35 described about the axis of the strand delivering head I5. The plate 33 carries also a short shaft on which is mounted a pinion 3I meshing with the pinion 3| and also with the pinion 38 upon the inner end of the' shaft 2I' of the head I5. This shaft carries also a larger pinion 39 meshing with the pinion no carried by a shaft of a. motor 4| which is supported by the rear portion of the base In as shown in Fig. 6.
The shaft 32 of the swing plate 33 is provided with a knurled nut 36 by means of which the plate may be clamped in any desired position of adjustment causing the gears of the train properly to mesh. It will be noted that the 'gear 30 is removably attached to its shaft 29, and thus the machine has provision for the convenient substitution of various sets of change gears by which the ratio of the linear speed of the two heads I4 and I5 may be varied and the strand passing between them subjected to varied amounts of stretch.
The tension of the strand passing between the two heads is measured and indicated by mechanism which will now be described. The front plate II is provided with a boss in which is journaled a short horizontal shaft 42. On the forward end of the shaft 42 is fixed a rod 43. The end of the rod is forwardly offset as shown in Fig. 4 and carries a grooved roll 44! which rides upon the strand passing between the two heads. From the outer end of the rod 43 is suspended a weight 45 and this is readily replaceable by weights graduated in accordance with the work in hand. The shaft 42 carries a hollow disk 46 having perforated radial bafiles 4? and containing a charge of mercury 48 or other heavy liquid. This disk acts to damp the oscillation of the rod 43 and prevent the disk M from dancing upon the strand. It will be understood that the charge of mercury tends to hold the disk 66 in whatever position it assumes and its retarded flow through the perforations of the bafiles 3! retards movement of the shaft 32 and its associated parts. The shaft 42 also carries a pointer 49 which, by its displacement, indicates on its segmental scale 50 the instantaneous tension in the strand. From the foregoing description it will be seen that the greater the sag made in the strand by the roll 44, the lower will be the reading of the scale and the lower will be the tension in the strand. If desired the movement of the pointer 49 may be recorded so as to provide a permanent record of each tested strand.
The shaft 42, in addition to its function in the indicating mechanism, is utilized also to operate an automatic stop. For this purpose it is provided at its end with a segment 52 whichnormally supports in elevated position a collar 53 upon the lower end of a plunger controlling an electric microswitch 54 which, as shown in Fig. 6, is secured to the top of the casing I I. The microswitch is interposed in the main line circuit to the motor as shown by the diagram of Fig. 8. Also included in this circuit is a stopping and starting switch controlled by a button 55 which projects through the upper lefthand portion of the front plate II.
In operation the strand is led through a fixed eye 56 set in the plate II and serving to guide it to the drawing-in head I4. It is passed several times about the groove of spindles I6, and then led to the delivering head I5, passed several times about the spindle I6, and from there led out of the machine. The change gears having been adjusted for the desired testing elongation, the roll M is rested upon the strand as running under tension between the two heads, and the machine set in action. Thereupon the strand is rapidly and continuously fed through the machine, subjected temporarily to the desired amount of elongation, and delivered after having been thus tested. Meanwhile the pointer 49 indicates the instantaneous amount of tension resulting from the elongation of the strand. In case of breakage the weighted rod 43, now unsupported, immediately rocks the shaft 52 carrying the segment 52 beyond the drop-off point. The switch plunger is thereupon permitted to move downwardly and the circuit to the motor is broken.
In Figs. 9-11 is illustrated a head of somewhat modified construction which may be substituted for either of the heads Hi and I5 above described. The principal difference is that in these heads the threaded spindles are afforded circumferential as well as radial support. To that end the head 60 is recessed in its outer face to receive a shouldered stud 6! having at its outer end a seriesof radial projections 62 arranged to fit into the spaces between the threaded spindles 63 and form a series of individual guide pockets for each spindle serving positively to prevent displacement of the inner end or intermediate portion of the spindle. The stud BI is secured to the head 60 by any suitable means such as axial screws, one of which is shown in Fig. 10. The stud 6| is bored axially to receive the center shaft 64, and upon its outer end this shaft carries a disk 65 which engages the spindles 63 near their outer ends and supplies radial support to them.
The spindles 63 as well as the spindles l6 and I6 are shown herein as carrying pinions which have a 1 to 2 ratio with respect to the large stationary gear 19. Accordingly, each spindle makes two individual rotations and is rotated once in its movement with the head for each complete revolution of the head. In other words, each spindle makes three complete rotations for one rotation of the head. The result is that the turns of the strand wound about the group of spindles are kept well separated while the machine is operating. This constructional feature has been found to be particularly advantageous and effective in guarding the strands against crossing or interference.
The machine has been heretofore described as it is organized for subjecting an elastic strand to a predetermined amount of elongation and when so operating it will be clear that the speed of rotation of the in-feeding head i4 is retarded and held back with respect to the speed of rotation of the delivering head l5 by the gearing which is interposed between these two heads.
In Figs. 12 and 13 is shown the machine as organized for subjecting the strand to a controlled amount of tension. When so organized, the delivering head I5 with its threaded spindles l6 and center spindle 2| are driven directly by the motor ii through the gearing already described. The in-feeding head, however, is not driven but is under the control of a band brake. In the illustrated machine, the front plate l i is provided with a projecting circular bos 19 in which is mounted a stationary bushing H to which is attached the stationary central gear '12 of the planetary system. A spindle i3 is journaled in the bushing ll and in the boss l as shown in Fig. 13, and to this spindle is pinned the head 14. In the head is mounted a group of threaded spindle 15, each of which carries a small gear l6 meshing with the central gear 72. At its outer end the spindle 13 carries a support disk ll which makes rotary contact with the spindle l at their outer ends.
The head 74 is enclosed within a stationary segmental shield '58. Within the shield is located a band brake 19 which is V-shaped in cross section and fits into a circumferential groove of the same shape in the head 14. The brake is conn'ected at one end to a screw 80 projecting from the front plate II and at the other through a flexible cable 81 to the sha'ft '42 of the indicator. The shaft 42 carriesa'n arm 43 provided with a roller 44 having a weight '45 and arranged to run on the strand as it passes from one head to the other. The shaft 42 also carries a pointer which cooperates with the segmental scale 50 to indicate the'instantaneous tension in the strand.
It will be seen that themechanism above described operates to increase the drag of the brake as the tension in the strand decreases with the result that the tension of the strand is thereby increased. On the other hand, as the tension in the strand increases the arm 43 is lifted and the drag of the brake reduced, thereby reducin the tension in the strand. The brake and the weight may be adjusted so that a balanced operating condition is secured in which the strand is subjected to a substantially uniform tension in passing from one head to the other. If the strand is elastic the elongation may be variable, but whether or not the strand is elastic it is subjected to substantially uniform tension.
Having thus disclosed my invention and described in detail several illustrative embodiments thereof, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:
1. A strand testing machine comprising a rotary strand-feeding head, a motor connected to the head for driving it at a uniform rate of speed, a second strand-feeding head spaced from the firstmentioned head, a train of gears interposed between the two heads for driving the second strandfeeding head at a slower rate of speed than the first-mentioned head, and a swing plate carrying one gear of the train whereby substitution may be made for adjusting the relative speeds of the two heads to vary the tension of a strand passing from one to the other.
2.

Family Vacations in Minnesota: Where to Go with Kids
Minnesota is a terrific place to travel with children. If you're looking for trip ideas for your family vacation in Minnesota, here's a region-by-region overview of where to go with kids in tow.

Expert Thomas Huhti gives you the lowdown on the best sights, activities, food, and accommodations in Wisconsin's historic Fish Creek.
Getting to Rock Island State Park, the most isolated state park in Wisconsin's system, necessitates two ferry rides. When you get here, it's a magnificent retreat: a small island, yes, but with delicious solitude, icy but gorgeous beaches, and the loveliest starry skies and sunrises in Wisconsin.
Deeded to the state in 1909, Peninsula is the second-oldest park in the state system and the most visited—it draws more visitors per year than Yellowstone National Park.
Stranded in the vast waters of Lake Superior, Isle Royale is perhaps the model of what a national park is supposed to be—wild, rugged, and remote.
Since Minnesota is a big state, this seven-day tour is necessarily limited (even with all the driving involved), but it combines history, culture, technology, nature, arts, and world-class kitsch and highlights the variety that makes Minnesota such a wonderful place.
Not much is wild in Door County anymore, but the state's only designated wilderness park is here; the rough, isolated, backwoods Newport State Park.

MSNBC suspends Baldwin show
LOS ANGELES - Alec Baldwin's new weekly MSNBC talk show was suspended for two episodes after the actor was videotaped using an anti-gay epithet against a photographer during a New York street encounter.
The cable channel didn't specify the reason it yanked Friday night's "Up Late with Alec Baldwin" from its schedule this week and next, but the decision came the day after the Thursday run-in.
In a statement on MSNBC website, Mr. Baldwin wrote that he "did not intend to hurt or offend anyone with my choice of words, but clearly I have - and for that I am deeply sorry."
The video, which was posted on TMZ, also drew a tweeted apology from Mr. Baldwin in which he claimed he was unaware the term he used was offensive to gays.
MSNBC declined further comment.
The incident came during the week a Canadian actress was convicted in New York of stalking Mr. Baldwin.
Mr. Baldwin reportedly lost his cool Friday when a reporter for a New York TV channel asked about the trial and, according to Variety.com, Mr. Baldwin called him "dumb."
Hirsch's turbine plan opposed
DENNING, N.Y. - Some residents of a town in New York's Catskill Mountains are trying to stop actor Judd Hirsch from building a 177-foot wind turbine on his property.
Dozens of Mr. Hirsch's neighbors in the town of Denning have signed a petition opposing the "Taxi" star's plan for a turbine on his 96-acre property.

Mrs. Doe Pee: Laugh & Cringe At Funniest Business Name & Gross Business Opportunityby Beth Graddon-Hodgson
During hunting season, hundreds of burly woodsmen slather themselves in doe pee to attract and lure their prey with their shot guns at the ready. Wearing pee like perfume certainly isn't glamorous, but it's a necessary part of hunting for sport. If you think that wearing deer pee is disgusting, think about the poor businesses responsible for collecting the doe pee. Mrs. Doe Pee in Iowa specializes in pee farming; be prepared to pity these people because business doesn't get much less glamorous than this.

Dean Baker: Donald Trump passed the threshold of committed delegates that gives him a lock on the Republican Party presidential nomination. It's worth considering what led to Trump's rise in the first place.
New legislation would make it harder for states and the EPA to regulate toxic chemicals in toys, building materials and clothing, but President Obama still has a chance to veto.
Speakout is Truthout's treasure chest for bloggy, quirky, personally reflective, or especially activism-focused pieces. Speakout articles represent the perspectives of their authors, and not those of Truthout.
We live in a time fraught with bad news. From the toll of violence and poverty to the escalating march of climate change, every week brings temptations to despair. Hope may actually be more beleaguered in the wake of a president who won the office in part by branding himself with it. Many have concluded that political participation has become a futile game.
For myself, I deal with potential despair by finding ways to act. And remembering that the doors to social change are never irrevocably closed, even in unimaginably difficult situations. Think of Nelson Mandela and his compatriots being told they would rot and die on Robben Island. Denied newspapers as a way of isolating them, they'd see a guard discard a newspaper he'd used to wrap his sandwich, and one of the prisoners would retrieve it, smuggle it under their shirt, and in a tiny coded script on toilet paper (the only paper they had), would circulate a story or headline that would give their compatriots courage.
If members of the US public were ever to wonder what the other 95% of humanity thinks about them, would it be better to break that harsh truth to them gently or just to blurt it out?
I'm going to go with the latter.
The way the United States has chosen to approach the chaos of the Middle East has far more frightening implications than we think, especially in terms of the world our children will inherit. If we are honest about how our adversaries perceive us, we will have to admit that there is a grand cycle of violence and insult operating, in which we ourselves are implicated up to our necks.
If we are to have any chance of breaking this potentially endless cycle (our military bases in Saudi Arabia leading to 9-11; 9-11 leading to the second Gulf War, Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib; the second Gulf War helping to create ISIS; ISIS beheading our journalists; President Obama suckered into reluctant bellicosity etc. etc. etc), we have to start by admitting our own role in it—something extremely difficult for our culture, and therefore almost impossible for our political leaders.
Over 10,000 women from the Nordic countries of Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland gathered May 12-15, 2014, in Malmo, Sweden for the "Nordisk Forum: New Actions on Women's Rights." As a regional conference, it was a strategy to augment the work done in the World Conferences on Women that had been regularly taking place every five years from 1975 until 1995.
Due to the worldwide negative effects of conservatism on the status of women, particularly reproductive health and sex education, the Executive Director of United Nations Office for Women, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka told the conference that in the foreseeable future, there would be no world conference of women similar to the 1995 Beijing women's conference. She suggested that a world conference on women could jeopardize the positive steps that have been taken over the last 30 years by United Nations resolutions on the rights of women. She cited a "failure of national and international leadership in which progress and gains for women are being reduced or are going backward."
Two winners of the Nobel Peace Prize on Monday urged President Obama to halt legal action by his administration against New York Times journalist James Risen.
In a statement addressed to Obama, the Nobel Peace Laureates -- Mairead Corrigan Maguire of Northern Ireland and Jody Williams of the United States -- said that they "urge a swift end to the US government's legal threat of imprisonment and harsh fines for New York Times reporter James Risen, who has covered issues of war and peace."
Today, the Progressive Change Institute and a trans-partisan coalition of surveillance whistleblowers, civil liberties advocates, and organizations representing millions of Americans are urging Congress to reject the Senate version of the USA Freedom Act.
The civil liberties coalition's joint letter outlines numerous concerns with the legislation, including ambiguous language that is open to abuse, the failure to include provisions specifically protecting the rights of Americans, blanket legal immunity for corporations that help spy on Americans, and the reauthorization of key sections of the USA PATRIOT Act relating to intelligence gathering. As the coalition's letter states:
New York, NY – Lack of poll workers and low numbers of voting machines are key contributors to long voting lines, and precincts with more minorities experienced longer waits, according to a new study released today by the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law.
Although many factors may contribute to long lines at the polls, little research has assessed how polling place resource allocation contributes to delays. In advance of the 2014 midterm election, Election Day Long Lines: Resource Allocation attempts to fill that gap by analyzing precinct-level data from states where voters faced some of the longest lines in the country in 2012: Florida, Maryland, and South Carolina.
After thousands of years of bloody wars among contending tribes, regions, and nations, is it finally possible to dispense with the chauvinist ideas of the past?
To judge by President Barack Obama's televised address on the evening of September 10, it is not. Discussing his plan to "take out" ISIS, the extremist group that has seized control of portions of Syria and Iraq, the president slathered on the high-flying, nationalist rhetoric. "America is better positioned today to seize the future than any other nation on Earth," he proclaimed. "Our technology companies and universities are unmatched; our manufacturing and auto industries are thriving. Energy independence is closer than it's been in decades. . . . Our businesses are in the longest uninterrupted stretch of job creation in our history. . . . I see the grit and determination and common goodness of the American people every single day -- and that makes me more confident than ever about our country's future."
Monday at 9:00 am, large numbers of protestors, dressed in blue to represent the seas that surround – and may one day engulf - NYC, will gather at Battery Park in lower Manhattan to begin a rally and a mass civil disobedience demonstration, aimed at confronting the root cause of the climate crisis; an economic system "based on exploiting frontline communities, workers, and natural resources."
"Runaway climate change and extreme weather events, such as the extreme flooding that we saw here in New York City with Hurricane Sandy, are fueled by the fossil fuel industry," said Michael Premo, an organizer of the action who was also a driving force in the Occupy Sandy recovery effort. "We are flooding Wall Street because we know that there's no greater cause of runaway climate change than an economic system that puts profit before people — and before the planet."
My mother was fond of saying "if you want someone to hear you, you must first listen to them"—know them, understand the questions they are asking, and be sensitive to their concerns. If you do this, she would say, "you will be able to speak with people and not at them".
What happens when you don't follow this simple rule of communication was on display during the "In Defense of Christians" conference that was held in Washington from September 9th to the 11th.
