Powerball players in North Carolina are taking aim at a record jackpot.
The current jackpot stands at $325 million, the most since the N.C. Education Lottery joined the multi-state game in 2006. The previous record was $314.3 million on Aug. 25, 2007.
Officials with the state lottery said strong sales since Wednesday's drawing propelled the amount past the initial estimate of $310 million.
If someone wins Saturday's jackpot, they would have the choice of taking the $325 million jackpot either in an annuity paid out over 30 years or as a lump sum payment of $202.9 million.

It's 1:00 a.m. and I'm writing this while lying on a blue, slick, urine-resistant couch. A few feet away, Clara is sleeping in a skinny hospital bed.
The nurse has just stepped out of the room, Clara's malfunctioning catheter in her hand, and I'm alone with my boiling, red, cursing, screaming, silent anger.
But I can't tell you the angry catheter story until I tell you what happened first, the reason Clara and I are in the hospital in the first place.
It was a ruptured appendix. Her, not me. I wish it had been me, of course.
It started Wednesday morning, when she complained of a tummy ache. She gets a lot of tummy aches.
She was whiny and tired, too.
And here's the first guilt trip, mistake number 1: I attributed it all – her pain, her tiredness, her whining – to the unauthorized slumber party she and Anna had had in their room the night before. "This is what happens when you girls stay up too late," I snapped. "It makes your bodies too tired."
Clara ate a little granola and drank some lactose-free milk, one hand clutching her stomach. I made her take a tiny bite of cantalope. And then I got Anna squared away with her carpool and took Clara to camp. Guilt, guilt, guilt. (I considered writing this post as if it were a trial transcript. The prosecuting attorney would have been clear-conscienced, calm. "You took her to camp even though she was clearly ill?" he would have asked. And I, up on the stand, would have twisted my hands and said, "You don't understand. I was so nauseous. I needed that 3.75 hours. Morning sickness turns you in upon yourself, it makes you self-centered. And anyway, I didn't think she was sick. I really didn't." And he would have nodded and murmured, "And so you took her, despite the fact that she was in pain. Despite the fact" – meaningful glance at jury – "that she was in pain."
Once we got to camp, Clara slumped against a cushion, staring at nothing. Imagine being in pain and being forced to do something you don't want to do. How betrayed and scared she must have felt.
Finally, I got a clue. "I think I'll just take her home," I told the teacher. "Maybe she really is sick."
We left. And she threw up in the car. And then she threw up when we got home. And threw up and threw up and threw up and threw up, probably seven separate times in a little over 3 hours. And now I hear the voice of a mother, some random, self-righteous mommy somewhere. I think it might be my voice, actually. "Oh my God," says the voice. "If that happened to my four-year-old, I would have called the clinic. I wouldn't have just let it go on like that." So let me answer my own snippiness. I did call the clinic.
I called the clinic and explained that my daughter had a bad stomach virus. Could they please call in a prescription to stop the vomiting?
"I'll check and call you back," said the nurse. She called back about twenty minutes later. "Yes, you can have something, but the doctor wants to see her before prescribing it."
By this point, though, Clara had fallen asleep, sweaty and exhausted.
"I think the vomiting part just ended," I told the nurse. "I guess we don't need to worry about the medicine after all."
We can call that mistake #2.
This story is too long for one post. And anyway, the relieving element of writing it is, itself, muddied by guilt. Do I deserve this confessional, metaphorical vomiting? Vomit which will – let's face it – be cleaned up by a group of moms who are typically extremely supportive, who will probably write kind things? No, of course I don't deserve it.
But wait. Let me say something, before I sound too pathetic: I know there are gems hidden in the depths of this ordeal – valuable secret lessons for me and Clara (and Anna and Dan too, probably). I'm just not yet at the point where I can look for them.

I'm fed up with the under-appreciation of our troops.
Some people in America have the audacity to criticize them. People have no idea what our troops go through to keep our country safe.
What if we had no army or troops to keep the terrorists out of our country?
People who criticize them would not have the freedom to criticize anything if it weren't for our troops.
They put their necks on the line and we don't even notice them. But when a scummy-looking teenager can hit a note on "American Idol," we go crazy. It's just sad.

Other backpack such as the Jester says:"Durable nylon and ballistic nylon fabric ensure a backpack that you can use for years to come". Is it the same for this one?
I bought a Vault before and it kind fell apart. Is it of the same quality?
hey SpeedyTurtle,
The materials that this pack are made of are actually thicker than the Jester. It is very durable. As far as i know this pack is not lined.

DARLINGTON, Wis. — A man who pleaded guilty to helping set a house fire that killed his three nephews wants to withdraw his pleas.
Jeremy Wand was to be sentenced in Lafayette County Circuit Court today. Instead he told the judge he felt pressured by his attorney to enter the guilty pleas last month.
The 18-year-old pleaded guilty to three counts of being a party to first-degree intentional homicide and three other felonies. Prosecutors dropped a count of attempted first-degree homicide as part of his deal, but they did not guarantee they wouldn't seek a life sentence.
Wand's brother, Armin, was sentenced to life in prison for the fire that killed his three sons and ended his wife's pregnancy.
A hearing on the motion to withdraw the pleas is set for Aug. 22.

text: Battle Ground — If anyone should know a little about the history of Battle Ground, you'd think it would be the Battle Ground Rose Princesses. During a meeting of the Daughters of the Pioneers of Washington, the girls were given a pop quiz on Battle Ground's history. The important fact? Battle Ground's first float in the Portland Rose Parade was in 1955. It was to promote the Battle Ground Centennial, which was being held later that summer. Betty Linn Davenport presented the princesses with a reprint of the newspaper article in which Chief Umtuch's grandson told the story of the events leading up to the naming of Battle Ground and the battle that never was. Davenport also showed them the tiara she wore as the Queen in Calico of the Battle Ground Centennial.

Old Navy is terrible for plus size clothes. I ordered 4 pairs of jeans from them, exact same size and style but different washes and they were all sized differently. Ugh. They also pin shirts/dresses on mannequins so you can't see their real shape, which is typically boxy and ugly. I much prefer Torrid and SWAK Designs. Their clothes are actually cute and affordable.

Utah officials warn of skin cancer as summer nears
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Health officials are warning Utah residents to slather on the sunscreen and seek shade as summer nears to avoid potentially deadly skin cancer.
The Utah Department of Health says more than 600 state residents are expected to develop skin cancer this year. Utah has the second highest rate of melanoma in the country.
The department says Utahns can reduce their risk by avoiding overexposure to the sun and by steering clear of indoor tanning beds.
Officials also plan to spread the word about skin cancer through an ad campaign in movie theaters, and with the help Real Salt Lake soccer player Chris Wingert.

JERUSALEM (AP) -- The U.N. chief and the U.S. Secretary of State made a new attempt Friday to nail down a temporary truce between Israel and Hamas, as Israel's 18-day military operation in the Gaza Strip fueled unrest in the West Bank, where five Palestinians were killed in protests.

 Despite the truce efforts, Israeli airstrikes hit more than 80 sites in Gaza, while militants in the tiny Mediterranean strip fired 50 rockets at Israel, the army said.

 Among the sites hit in Gaza were 30 homes, including that of a leader of the Islamic Jihad group who was killed along with his sons, Palestinian officials said.

 Israel says it wants to diminish Hamas' ability fire rockets and to destroy tunnels Hamas has dug under Gaza's border with Israel for military purposes. Hamas, meanwhile, wants to force Israel and Egypt to end their seven-year-old blockade of Gaza's borders.

 The worst round of cross-border fighting in more than five years has killed 828 Palestinians and wounded more than 5,200, according to Palestinian health officials. The U.N. says civilians make up three-fourths of the dead and a majority of the wounded.

 In Israel, 38 people have been killed since July 8, including 35 soldiers, two Israeli civilians and a Thai worker.

 The army announced on Friday that an Israeli soldier whom Hamas had claimed to have captured earlier this week had in fact died in battle on that day. The declaration lifts fears of a soldier in Hamas custody - one of Israel's worst-case scenarios in any fight with the militants.

 The army said it determined that Sgt. Oron Shaul was killed among seven soldiers killed in a vehicle that was hit by an anti-tank missile in Gaza on Sunday. The others in the vehicle were confirmed dead soon after the battle ended but Shaul's remains were not immediately identified. Shaul is among the count of 35 soldiers killed in the fighting.

 Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met twice Friday in Cairo with U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon and Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shukri to try to bring a week-long pause in the Israel-Hamas fighting, beginning as soon as this weekend.

 Kerry delayed his anticipated departure from Cairo for several hours to talk again by phone to Qatari officials who are serving as a go-between with Hamas, which the U.S. considers terrorist organization and cannot negotiate with directly.

 In Israel, senior ministers met for several hours Friday to consider the U.S. proposal, which envisions a weeklong break from fighting during which Israel and Hamas would begin discussing new border arrangements for Gaza. Israeli media said the ministers dispersed with the onset of the Jewish Sabbath at sundown, but could be reconvened later Friday.

 Over the last week, in his travels from Cairo to Ramallah to Israel, Kerry made clear that he wants to secure at least a temporary truce pause before he returns to Washington.

 U.S. efforts have been frustrated by distrust between Israeli and Palestinian officials and among Mideast nations that have taken sides in the conflict even as they agreed to push for a cease-fire.

 The U.S. wants at least a temporary truce before it tries to usher Israel and Hamas through negotiations that could take years to resolve. The last cease-fire brokered by Egypt and the U.S. took effect in November 2012.

 Hamas demands the release of Palestinian prisoners in addition to an end to the 7-year-old border blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt after the group seized Gaza from the Western-backed government of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

 As the Gaza fighting drags on, the West Bank is becoming increasingly restive.

 Protests erupted Friday in the northern village of Hawara, near the city of Nablus, and the southern village of Beit Omar, near the city of Hebron. Palestinian hospital officials said three Palestinians were killed in Beit Omar and two in Hawara.

 The mayor of Hawara, Mouin Idmeidi, said he and hundreds of others from the village participated in a protest after emerging from a local mosque after Friday prayers.

 Hawara is located along a main north-south thoroughfare that is also used by Israeli motorists. The mayor said an Israeli motorist slowed down as he passed the march and fired at the group.

 The mayor said four people were wounded and that one of them, a 19-year-old, died at Rafidiyeh Hospital in Nablus of his injuries.

 After the shooting, clashes erupted between Palestinians and Israeli troops who opened fire, killing a 22-year-old from Hawara, the mayor said.

 Rafidiyeh hospital confirmed the deaths.

 An Israeli police spokesman, Mickey Rosenfeld, said paramilitary border police opened fire to disperse violent protests at Hawara, and that masked Palestinians threw firebombs. He said he was unaware of a shooting involving an Israeli civilian.

 In Beit Omar, clashes erupted between Israeli forces and Palestinian stone-throwers. Hebron hospital officials said three Palestinians were killed.

 The Israeli military said it was looking into the reports.

 On Thursday, thousands of Palestinians clashes with Israeli forces at a West Bank checkpoint and in east Jerusalem, the largest protests in those areas in several years.

I'm so happy that Scott Peluso has agreed to be my eyes & ears at the Facilities Management Maximo User Group meeting in Florida........the next best thing to being there!
Here is his summary from today's session.........you will want to read all the way through for an announcement made today.
Today started off with a presentation by Anthony Honaker and Kim Woodbury of the Maximo Product Development and Strategy team. Theme of the presentation was the continuation of product enhancement, increased value to customers and leveraging other Tivoli/IBM products within the Maximo ecosystem. Anthony illustrated value add through new capabilities and applications by citing the introduction of Optim, ITM Agent, Cognos and others.Anthony promised continued development of the Industry Solutions, Maximo Spatial, and functional enhancements in supply chain, linear assets, and archive applications.
Looking ahead, there are three focus areas. Visualization and optimization was the first item. While Maximo Spatial, Scheduler and MEO products have visualization abilities, the goal is to move these capabilities to other products/apps. Similar approach re: optimization. Anthony also mentioned Real Time Asset Locator as an example of a new product that takes advantage of these capabilities and can be integrated into Maximo.
Second area is leveraging other IBM technology. iLog was referenced as an example of how using other technology has enhanced Maximo functionality (Maximo Scheduler). Cognos and Lotus were mentioned as other IBM brands that will be leveraged to improve and enhance Maximo capabilities.
The final focus area is Development's significant efforts and investments in facilities related areas. He used Smarter Planet as an example and in deference to the audience used facilities management as a specific area. Anthony handed off to Kim Woodbury at this point.
Kim started with a review/clarification of facility management framework and components. Kim then discussed how we will be providing means to better help the facilities managers be more efficient. Space planning, data center infrastructure management were used an an example. Kim referenced the Property Portfolio Management Solution (PPMS) as a currently available product. PPMS is available through Services. Kim then brought up a slide that would make any IBMer proud. Lots of colors, blocks, inter-connected lines. It wasn't as convoluted as it looked and Kim rapidly went through the main points of the slide and then overlayed the IBM product components/applications that would accommodate these requirements.
Kim specifically mentioned Drawbase and their ability to manage some of the required capabilities. Kim stated that Maximo would eventually cover space planning requirements and that in near term, Business Partners would play a key role in fulfillment of these needs.
Kim then turned to the concept and definition of the smarter building. Key points are lifecycle, integration with other building systems, and expansion to systems outside of the building itself (example was city traffic around building). Kim talked about taking this information and then being able to more effectively manage a facility/building/location. This data review and analysis would be performed by Maximo and other IBM products. Kim spoke about the Maximo/Johnson Controls relationship. Johnson Controls is one of the largest Maximo customers; they service over 120 companies using Maximo. They are also development partners with IBM which allows them (and us) to integrate our products with their systems controls and other applications.
Kim then went into a discussion on Building Information Management (BIM) model. The concept of BIM is to use a 3 dimensional model to provide a user with various information about a building, it's components (think a room or a pump), and then link directly to whatever application or system or more detailed information (such as a scanned picture of the room or pump) to provide the required function or goal needed to manage that building component. Kim then went through some of the PPMS abilities that can accommodate these needs.
Kim then discussed some of the issues around space planning and efficient building utilization. These issues also include energy optimization.
Kim ended with the notification that the Drawbase deal has been signed and completed. IBM will now be licensing the Drawbase technology that will be a key component in a Maximo based space planning solution.
Scott will have more updates for us, so watch this space....
Mary, I love this concept of live reporting at the IBM Maximo user group meetings! Great idea. Now, we just need to get them to do pictures and videos. :)

So with Halloween literaly around the corner what are everyones LO's going to be for Halloween? ARe you taking them out trick or treating? Does your town have places that put on "safe" trick or treating events?
KaytLynn was saying the other day she was going to be a cow. At least she yelled cow in the store when asked what she wanted for a custome. I will probably take KaytLnn to a few houses in my houses in my neighborhood.The downtown businesses in my town do a trick or treating event every year during the day/afternoon. The mall has a trick or treating event every year. There is a huge turn out to both.
A few Churches in my town does something every year. one of the colleges use to do an event called "spookaroo". They had games, prizes, candy and even a haunted house. I dont know if the college still does it or not.
Michael and Paige are too old for trick or treating so I may let them do a Halloween party on Friday night of Halloween weekend and then they can hand candy out on Halloween

This invention relates generally to a spacer for multi-pane glazing structures, and more particularly relates to a new type of spacer for its shape and type of material used. The invention also relates to structures having exceptional thermal insulation performance by using the spacer.
Multi-pane glazing structures have been in use for some time, since they have replaced single-pane windows, as thermally insulating windows, in industrial, commercial, and residential situations. Spacers used in the glazing structures have been made of aluminum, galvanized steel, plastic, polymer, rubber and other soft or hard materials, sometimes used alone and sometimes combined with each other. Spacer bars are set along the periphery of the space between the panes and are typically long hollow perforated metal sections. Aluminum alloy spacers (extruded or rolled from flat strip material) are still the most utilized spacers (other popular spacers are made of galvanized steel or silicone compound), due to low cost and ease of manufacturing. In most cases the hollow interior of the spacer contains a desiccant material which absorbs any moisture that may enter into the sealed unit and/or soak up any residual moisture that may have been in the enclosed air or low-conductive gas within the sealed unit.
Recent increases in energy costs as well as demand for a superior product have given rise to the need for windows and other multi-pane glazing structures of even higher thermal insulation ability.
To achieve what todays markets require, different approaches have been taken to increase the window's thermal insulation performance,
Additional panes have been incorporated into laminated structures, giving approximately R-1 for a single pane, R-2 for a double pane and R-3 for 3 or more panes. (Reference ASTM.)
Heat-reflective, low-emissivity ("low e") coatings have been incorporated into window structure. Special multi-pane glazing structure have been developed, as for example, in U.S. Pat. No 5,156,894 to Hood et al. (high performance, thermally insulating multi-pane glazing structure.)
Low heat transfer gas have been incorporated into the window structure. (to mention some: argon, krypton, nitrogen, etc.)
Spacers have evolved from steel and aluminum to lower coefficient of heat transfer material such as polymer plastic, fiberglass and rubber. The aim was to get away from metal spacers having too high of a thermal conductivity coefficient thus causing condensation on the inner surface of the multi-pane assembly when temperature is below the dew point. In most cases a high increase in cost of manufacturing render these products hard to market. Also a problem with reinforced plastic spacers was that they generally had a different coefficient of expansion than glass generating early failure of the sealed unit. Moreover, reinforced plastic spacers caused problems with permeability, either permitting vapor moisture to enter or the filling gas to escape. Generally one spacer assembly is made of four lengths of spacers mechanically fastened with corner joints, inserted under pressure. Other techniques include folding around the corner with or without notching the spacer or a complete cutting of the spacer after which the length of spacer is thermally welded or by other means jointed together without a mechanical joint. Once the panes have been put in place on each side of the spacer assembly, a sealant is applied to the outside of that particular assembly to seal and to adhere to the outermost area of the spacer frame and to the panes surface area facing the spacer frame and outside it.
Common sealing materials used for this type of assembly are generally made of compounds subject to undergoing polymerization by catalysis. These sealants are polysulfide derivatives of the urethane family. Polysulfide is used as a simple sealant or in combination with a primary sealant of the butyl family called poly-isobutylene. Polysulfide keeps its shape, elasticity and memory for great temperature differentials.
The inventors herein postulate some reasons for the limited access of better products in the markets. The inventors, however, do not wish to be bound by theory and are not specialists on market survey.
Most of the aforementioned methods to better insulating performance of window assemblies have increased the cost of manufacturing.
Most of the aforementioned methods to better insulating performance of window assembly have also increased the cost of materials.
Some of the aforementioned methods to better insulating performance of window assembly have additionally increased weight.
The invention is based on the following objects: to produce a spacer at low cost; improve insulation capacity of multi-pane assemblies, make the spacer easy to utilize with standard assembly techniques, and, to have a final product still adaptable to a variety of applications.
The present invention addresses insulating performance; durability under extremes of temperature; better adhesion characteristics; resistance to condensation at very low temperature; strength of the window assembly; the cost of manufacturing; and the cost of materials.
The present invention has the primary object of providing an insulating spacer having an elongated configuration.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a spacer having means for mechanically locking in place a tongue with a protrusion made from the body innermost surface by punching, cutting, melting, shaping and drilling, to the matching necked-down groove width and a groove depth intermediate the bottom of the groove and the open mouth of the groove in the area opposite to the innermost surface, said tongue and groove having matching cross-sectional shapes which upon mating provide a substantial self-relieved interlocking fit therewith.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an innovative spacer to improve insulation or multi-pane window systems of very high thermal insulation performance.
It is another object of this invention to address the above noted deficiencies of the prior art.
It is still another object of this invention to provide an innovative spacer which can be incorporated into multi-pane window systems while maintaining a low cost of manufacturing.
It is a further object of this invention to maintain a low cost of material and still achieve today's need for greater insulation.
Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention spacer will be described in the following specifications and claims, and, will become apparent to those of standard skill in the art or may be learned by practice of the invention.
According to the present invention, part of the solution is in the extra adherence surface built into the spacer side during extrusion or by any other techniques giving the same results and also the use of polyvinyl chloride with mineral additive. Altogether proper mechanical specifications are provided to utilize this invention, particularly with glass in a multi-pane glazing structure comprising at least two substantially parallel sheets of glazing held in spaced relationship to each other by a peripheral spacer frame. Polyvinyl chloride with the appropriate mineral filler gives excellent structural strength of assembly and good MVTR. Similar to aluminum for its mechanical qualities, it facilitates precise mounting for small tolerance assembly width and a stable assembly for a large range of temperature.
The spacer of the present invention is less expensive to produce than most polymeric spacers on the market.
This spacer can make a complete frame (locked in the corners) without using parts other than itself with proper cutting of its surfaces.
This spacer can make a complete frame at any angle without using parts other than itself with proper cutting of its surfaces and by welding (or catalysis, gluing or other equivalent) the locked assembly.
This spacer can make a complete frame using mechanical joint for corner.
This spacer can make a complete frame by welding (or catalysis, gluing or other equivalent), its ends precut at any angle degree.
This spacer can be utilized in different types of multi-pane window assemblies of high thermal insulation performance utilizing special features such as low heat conductance gas or sheets of transparent plastic or other means of increasing the overall insulation quality of the assembly.
The invention is explained in the following text with reference to preferred embodiments which are shown in the accompanying drawings.
FIGS. 1A and 1B respectively show the preferred embodiment in cross section and in a side view;
FIGS. 2A and 2B show two of many types of installations for the spacer of the present invention;
FIG. 3 shows the spacer in one of the possible corner configurations; and
FIGS. 4A and 4B shows the spacer in two other possible corner configurations.
For insulated spacers, the modified and improved qualities of polyvinyl chloride with a mineral additive and the novel cross section shape of the spacer of the present invention make it possible to manufacture insulated spacers resulting in five main improvements.
One improvement is higher strength and stiffness of the material, rendering possible the novel type of side increasing the area of contact between the invention spacer and the sealant. That will be more precisely described hereinbelow. It also makes it possible to lay down the spacer frame on the glass or any other type of panes and to more easily make the sides of the spacer frame parallel to the edges of the glazing sheets thus speeding up the assembly process, as compared, let us say, with aluminum.
Another improvement is higher stability at high temperature and a long temperature range in which mechanical properties of elongation and stiffness of structure permit its easy utilization mainly with glass.
Thirdly a decrease in thermal conductivity is possible, thus reducing drastically the risk of condensation on the inner surface of a multi-pane assembly.
A fourth improvement is continuous folded corner stability at different % and/or type of mineral filler with the use of a novel type of locking mechanism FIG. 3 for ease of assembly manufacturing. Whatever the angle desired or the % and/or type of mineral filler utilized it is always possible to obtain a stable corner structure of the spacer frame to facilitate manufacturing of the assembly. A continuous corner increases the durability of the sealed unit with lower moisture vapor transmission and a reduced low-conductive gas loss at the corners.
A fifth improvement is a stronger structure by improving the bond between the spacer and the panes it separates by increasing the area of contact between the spacer and the sealant with the novel type of spacer as shown in FIG. 1A, surface 34 and more specifically area 30 and 32, where the surface area increase is 115% and more. A preferable increase in surface area is around 150% but that is not limiting in view of the different possible increases available with the spacer of the present invention.
The spacer 18A shown in FIG. 1B, has a hollow shape with the following areas, surface 20 being the innermost of the assembly (FIG. 2A and 2B) in which holes 22 are made to permit humidity and water vapor in the area between the pane be absorbed by the desiccant put in space 24 and necked-down portion 36; sides 26 and 28 onto which panes can be applied directly or with a layer of sealant being provided; increased surface outermost sides areas 30 and 32 on which sealing material is applied, giving extra strength bounding between panes and the invention spacer; outermost surface 34 where folding occurs for the type of corner shown in FIG. 3 and where sealant is applied when utilized in the complete assembly. The longitudinal extent will be determined by the size and type of the assembly.
Areas 30 and 32 are made of one, two or more recesses, these depressions or indentations in the angled surfaces thereof providing an increase in contact surface for the sealing substance chosen for the particular assembly decided by the manufacturer. These indentations or depressions can be sharp or smooth and do not provide a place for cracks to start. The prior art uses a cavity in these areas to augment the quantity of sealant and/or facilitate its application. The surface increase in those case vary slightly around a maximum of 113%. The present invention attains a greater increase in contact surface with the sealing material than previous spacers (115% and above), good results being obtained at around 150% although this percentage does not limit the range covered by the invention spacer.
FIG. 2A shows a cross section of a single seal, a double glazed unit incorporating a hollow profile spacer 18C, in which desiccant material 58A has been placed. The spacer 18C is formed into a spacer frame as will be explained more fully hereinafter. The preassembled spacer frame is interposed between the first glazing layer and the second glazing layer, adjacent to the periphery of the panes. The outer sealant 60 can be any sealant with good barrier properties such as hot melt butyl, polysulfide or polyurethane and so with this design because of the lower permeability of the outer sealant, there is typically not the same need or requirement for the spacer to be made from PVC with outstanding barrier properties or alternatively to be coated with a separate moisture vapor and gas barrier film or coating. Though with our invention the spacer is of PVC with a mineral type filler giving an excellent MVTR any humidity or water vapor left between panes 50 and 52 is absorbed by the desiccant 58A through holes 22.
Sealant is applied in the outward facing channel around the periphery of the glazing sheets. The sealant must adhere to the back (FIG. 1, surfaces 30, 32 and 34) of the spacer and for certain types of compound, it may be necessary to treat, utilize a type of backing or prime the spacer to ensure good adhesion. The increased area of the surfaces 30 and 32 provide a firm connection between the sealing material and the body of the invention spacer.
FIG. 2B shows a dual seal unit of PVC with a mineral filler spacer 18D. As with a conventional dual seal unit, beads of poly-isobutylene sealant 77 and 80 are applied to the sides of the hollow profile spacer 18D. Outer sealant 84 is applied to the outside most part of the assembly. The outer sealant 84 must adhere to the spacer 18D and to the panes 70 and 72. It may be necessary to treat, utilizing a type of backing, or prime the spacer 18D depending on the surface or the sealant utilized. Again the outer sealant 84 can be any sealant with good barrier properties such as hot melt butyl, polysulfide or polyurethane and so, with this design because of the lower permeability of the outer sealant, there is typically not the same need or requirement for the spacer to be made from PVC with outstanding barrier properties or alternatively to be coated with a separate moisture vapor and gas barrier film or coating. Though with the present invention the spacer is of PVC with a mineral type filler giving an excellent MVTR, and any humidity or water vapor left between panes 70 and 72 is absorbed by the desiccant material 58B through holes 76.
FIG. 3 shows a new type of mechanical joint not requiring any other piece of material than the extrusion itself. The extrusion is cut, punched, drilled, or by any other means prepared to have the following areas and parts. An area 92 permitting the spacer to be folded in area 94. Side 97 folds toward side 98 or vice versa.
Any type of tongue 90 with any type of protrusion at the end, that can be locked in the opposite locking area 99, or under the appropriately cut opposite folding surface 20 in the approximate areas 96 and 110 across the invention spacer, these possible locking combinations including a recess matching the tongue protrusion. This type of locking mechanism therefore does not require a special area 36 (FIG. 1) at the bottom of the invention spacer 18A. Areas 96, 102, 110 and joint 120 can be of any suitable type appropriate to the manufacturing and/or processing technique. As an example, one side 97 is attached to part 98, any corner angle is possible depending on area 92 shape, other locking area chosen (96, 99, 102, 110, others) and tongue 90 length.
Such locking mechanism could also be described as an area with a cross-sectional shape providing for a necked-down groove 36 width at a groove depth intermediate the bottom of the groove providing a cross-section matching the tongue 90 end protrusion that when mated allows for a substantially self-relieved interlocking fit.
FIGS. 4A and 4B show other possible types of corners typical for that product. A length of spacer 128 cut to an angle and matched to another length of spacer 132 with the appropriate matching angle, are welded, glued or by any means other than mechanical held together at joint 130. Two lengths of spacer 18E and 18F are held together at any angle by a mechanical joint 148.
The following must be emphasized in summary. The embodiment of the invention herein illustrated presents a preferred form in composition thereof and should not be construed as limiting. The drawings described herein illustrate a very small sample of some of the possible design configuration where the invention spacer may be utilized to replace other types of spacer in multiple-glazed sealed units. Thus it is not limitative of all special cases and/or specific references of when the invention spacer may be utilized. It is not described herein but nonetheless important for those skilled in the art, that it is suggested that the invention spacer be used in conjunction with an appropriate sealing material to achieve required quality of the final multi-pane assembly. From all the above descriptions it will be apparent that there is thus provided a device of the character described which possess the particular features of advantages enumerated as desirable, but which, before the enumerated advantages, rendering the invention susceptible of modification in its proportions, form, detail construction and arrangement of parts without deviating from the principle involved, or sacrificing any of its advantages, or modes of putting the invention into effect in any assembly. Therefore any failure to describe such aspect is also not intended to create any limitation to the present invention. Any other aspects, advantages and modifications within the scope of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art to which the invention pertains.

the BN1 and BN2 are far prettier than any of the six-cylinder Healeys. side curtains and a folding windscreen (for speed!).
eventually, i'll get around to finishing (well, starting) the restoration on the '56 BN2 downstairs. need to finish the Jaguar, first.
My favorite Jag is the XK 120. The Cord 812 was a remarkable car for a number of reasons:
Front wheel Drive
Retracting Headlights
Electrical shifting transmission.
There used to be a company in Pasadena I think that made replicas of Cords and Auburns. The Cord was not really very good but the Auburn was terrific. It was priced at about $40,000 n 1980. Someone should complete the set with a Deusenberg Phaeton.
Ridding the world of derailleurs, one bicycle at a time.
46 Hercules Roadster, 49 Hercules Kestrel, 50 Norman Rapide, 51 Hercules Lion, 52 Hercules Windsor, 56 Hercules Royal Prince, 61 Fiorelli Tandem, 67 Carlton Super Race (IGH), 70 Schwinn Collegiate (IGH), 71 Hercules, 71 STF Hercules, 72 Peugeot PX-8 (IGH), 76 Raleigh Sports, 77 STF Raleigh Sports, 77 Jack Taylor Tandem, Early-80's Mike Appel SC, 84 Davidson Tandem, Late-80's Alpine, 10 Bilenky "BQ" Signature Tandem
Beauty is clearly in the eyes of the beholder.
This looks so good, it hurts.
The problem with reproductions of classic cars is generally the tire size. I recall seeing Auburn Speedster replicas based on a Ford chassis. The original tire was a 6.5 x 16, the Ford used a 235 x 15. The proportions were thrown off. Whole car looked just a bit off.
Pronounced "Murkle"

The family of a Battle Creek-area airman says he was killed in an accident while helping dispose of bombs at an air base in Iraq.
He's identified as 25-year-old Senior Airman Jimmy Hansen of the Calhoun County community of Athens.
Rich Hansen Jr. tells the Battle Creek Enquirer that military officials told the family his brother was killed when "something went wrong" while he helped detonate captured bombs.
It happened Wednesday at the Balad air base in central Iraq.
The Pentagon hadn't yet announced the death Wednesday night.
Jimmy Hansen was a graduate of Athens High School and enlisted in the Air Force about two years ago.

The 2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifying continues in Asia, where Iraq takes on Jordan while Oman host the mighty Japanese.
Japan visits the brutally hot Middle East while sitting in the driver's seat right now in Group B. The Samurai Warriors are already five points clear of second place Australia, and a win in Oman would more or less guarantee them a spot in the 2014 World Cup. The money isn't right, but at a payout of 1.50 over at UWin.com, it isn't tight either.
The home side is 1-2-1 (W-L-T) so far which has it seated in third spot, and a loss here would more or less hammer the first nail in its coffin. With a payout of 6.95, Oman is not seen as upset material. The draw result isn't as likely as the home win either - given Japan want to wrap up its spot as soon as possible - but if you feel Japan could slip up and take only a point away, then the 3.80 is for you.
The Japan correct score victories offer a little more juice with payouts of 4.85 and 5.35 to win 1-0 and 2-0, respectively. I don't anticipate Oman to score either, so look at Japan to win to nil as it has in all three of its matches against Middle Eastern opponents.
In the other match in Group B, Iraq takes on Jordan in a pivotal game for both sides.
Iraq will be the home team, however, this game will be played in Doha, so it is a neutral venue site that Jordan will be happy about.
The teams tied 1-1 in Jordan in their last match back in June. Iraq opened up the scoring in under 15 minutes before Jordan tied up before half.
Both teams are fighting for their lives, with Iraq the more desperate with only two points from four matches. Should the Iraqis lose there, their hopes for qualifying will be dashed. They lost games by only one goal each against both Japan and Australia - the group powers - so look for the Iraqis to come out with the win here. That can be had for just over evens (2.03) - not bad - at Uwin.com.
The draw here is at 3.30 while Jordan - who have allowed twice as many goals than any other team with 10 conceded in 4 matches - are paying out 3.50.

Re: Caroline Garcia
It wasn't that bad. She did get nervous and emotional, was complaining about the balls etc... hence the errors. But she managed to play WITH the crowd and let them help her and came back in the 2nd. Honestly,she was very close to taking that second set to a breaker. Last year, she would have lost 62 61. But hey, Radwanska is no 2 in the world, so she is too solid mentally.
|Yesterday 07:49 PM
Re: Caroline Garcia
Oh Caroline :'(
I couldn't watch the match, but i hoped she would be able to keep it close and take a set.
It's not an awful result by any means and she did better than last year. Caro might never be able to get it right at RG unfortunately.
|Yesterday 05:40 PM
Re: Caroline Garcia
this is not an excuse, she had to focus on what she's doing on the court
radwanska did nothing great to win in such an "easy" score
she broke her from the start, but you could see she was not "into" the game
no serve, no patience, no game plan, late reaction = LOSE
|Yesterday 05:31 PM
Re: Caroline Garcia
For her défense, public was very annoying during points making noise all the time it was really annoying.
|Yesterday 05:30 PM
Re: Caroline Garcia
lost 2 and 4 to pushwanska
Oh my God, what an horrible match from caroline today, did so many errors, was down 2-6 1-4 to finally have a REACTION
but she never was in controle of this match, such a waiste of opportunity cause she can play so much better than that
she can have regrets cause she played 3/4 of this match in radwanska terms, she was hotting her opponent zones while she should have played big in her own zones to hurt her better
I liked the fact she tried at the end o the match to make a comeback, the crowd was cheering big for her. Those DFS in that last service game. Her serve was so baad today
disappointing, still needs much work to do to become a better player
|Yesterday 05:25 PM
Re: Caroline Garcia
Caro lost 2 & 4
Just unbelievable how she lost her serve to lose the match
Game point -> DF -> DF -> UE -> GSM Radwanska
|May 24th, 2016 02:10 PM
Re: Caroline Garcia
I hope Caro can win this. She has the better clay court game that Aga imo, but needs to keep her head in check.
I hope she doesn't blow a lead though
|May 24th, 2016 09:18 AM
Re: Caroline Garcia
Agatha can't generate much pace on her own, and it will be even worse on this muck, so Caroline should be able to keep herself in rallies easily. Serve & return dynamics I don't know how they will work; Caroline's kamikaze ROS might have been useful for once, but I suspect Agatha will just focus on getting like 75% or more 1st serves in.
Still, RG isn't a priority for Agatha, so she may punk out if she's being outplayed by what she feels is an unsurmountable margin. Or she may stick around waiting for Caroline to choke.
Caroline in 3, with one of the sets being a complete blowout one way or another.
|May 23rd, 2016 07:17 PM
Re: Caroline Garcia
It could very well be. If Caro gets a big win here then it really could inspire her to go further in the competition, and if she has a good result at the French then all of a sudden she might start believing in herself.
You can do it Caroline. Allez!!!!

If she uses the energy of the crowd in a positive way and plays smart aggressive tennis, she'll have a decent chance to win this match.
I am sure Radwanska is not happy that she has to play Caro in R2.

Re: Caroline Garcia
Caro always manages to almost give me heart attack, but i am so happy for her that she got a big win here.
Impressed with how she managed to recover from that second set blip to turn it around and claim a straight sets win. She goes into the match against Aga with less pressure, so hopefully she can find her best game.
Allez Caro!!!
|May 23rd, 2016 05:05 PM
Re: Caroline Garcia
tough 2nd set, she always has a moment when she lose a bit "the plot", made many ues
happy she managed to make such a comeback, from 0-4, then 2-5
she has to keep fighting the way she does, playing point by point especially against radwanska
didnt watch her match, but very impressive scoreline, she'll be ready for caroline
it's up for caro to stay strong and agressive to "destroy "the polish wall
just happy right now

Re: Caroline Garcia
Caroline def. Tsurenko 63 75
Great comeback from Caro in the second set after being 0-4* down
It seems the win in Strasbourg has helped her mentally. Additionally I noticed that she played some great defense today and was constructing points better than in the past.
Keep it up, Caro !!

Murdered Oklahoma girl's mother files $3 million claim against state
The imprisoned mother of Serenity Deal is seeking $3 million from the state in a tort claim that blames DHS for the girl's murder.
Samantha Deal, 22, is seeking $1 million for herself and $1 million each for her two remaining daughters.
"It's awful. It's awful,'" said the mother's attorney, Jim Loepp. "What DHS did, it was just horrifying to me."
Serenity is the 5-year-old girl whose death in June 2011 sparked public outrage against the state Department of Human Services. The agency's longtime director, Howard Hendrick, retired this year after public confidence in his leadership fell because of child deaths.
Serenity's father killed her less than a month after she began living with him full time at his Oklahoma City apartment at the recommendation of DHS workers.
She had been in foster care.
DHS officials acknowledged its child welfare workers made mistakes in the handling of Serenity's placement. One worker quit, one committed suicide and two others were fired.
DHS said its workers failed to fully check the father's background and discover times he had been violent in the past.
Serenity was not living with her mother because her mother had been accused of molesting a boy. Samantha Deal eventually pleaded no contest in Lincoln County District Court to oral sodomy. She was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Samantha Deal remains in prison.
"We are reviewing the claim," a DHS attorney, Richard Freeman, told The Oklahoman.
One-page claim
The state received the one-page tort claim from Loepp on June 4. The attorney is following a state law that requires a person first to make a claim for damages with the state before filing a lawsuit. State officials have 90 days to respond.
State officials could elect to settle the claim before the deadline, but that is unlikely.
"The negligent acts of OKDHS were the proximate cause of Serenity Deal's untimely passing and the claimant ... has suffered damages as a result thereof," the mother's claim states.
Separate claim
Serenity's grandparents, Chuck and Annette Deal, of Chandler, have made a separate claim against the state over the girl's death, their attorney, Joe Vorndran, said. Serenity stayed with them for a while before being put into foster homes.
The grandparents' claim may have been misplaced. The grandparents' attorney said he has proof the state accepted it. State officials said Thursday they have not received it yet.
The girl was placed with her father, Sean Devon Brooks, in May 2011 even though she was injured twice in January 2011 during overnight visits with him.
The second time, she came back to a foster home with black eyes and a swollen and bruised face, records show. Both she and her father said he dropped her accidentally. DHS workers accepted that explanation.
Brooks, 32, is serving a life term in prison for first-degree murder. He admitted in his guilty plea last December that he beat Serenity in the head.
DHS commissioners last September formed a special committee to review her death and other child deaths.
They acted after Gov. Mary Fallin complained of "the appearance of lax oversight on the part of DHS commissioners."
