Designing on a dime
Not many private fleets specify and repair anything and everything from a sewer rodder to a fogger, a brush cutter to a hydraulic crane, an asphalt recycler to a pontoon boat. This piece of specialized equipment belongs to the City of Hollister in California, one of the subjects of our cover story beginning on page 28. Photo: Nick Lovejoy Photography
Behind the truck: A boom made of PVC pipe and positioned behind the tailgate allows trucks to be used for anti-icing brine applications and/or salt spreading. Although prewetting in the auger is now thought to be more effective, the boom can also be used to prewet salt at the spinner. Photo: Harvey Williams
Inside the auger: When salt is wet before it's applied to pavement, it starts melting ice upon contact. Applying brine solution to salt within the truck's auger with a prewet device like this keeps granules from blowing away in the wind or bouncing onto roadsides. Photo: Mike Scaramella
Suburban-Chicago employee Matt Bartlett spent $2,300 to build this 300-gallon anti-icer. He designed the unit to be lifted into a standard pickup truck and removed when the vehicle's needed for something else. Photos: Harvey Williams
New Jersey Superintendent Steven Alexander spent $700 to convert this former fire tanker to an anti-icing vehicle with a driver-regulated spray boom. Photos: Steven Alexander
The driving force behind the brine system: a gas-powered centrifugal pump pressurizes the system and circulates the brine to the boom at the back of the truck.
Applying brine to streets before a storm hits to keep ice from forming, or prewetting salt so it sticks to the road and melts ice more effectively, doesn't necessarily require new equipment.

The answer is that you speak to ME, me as I am now, not the younger version of 40 or even 20 years ago. I read the magazine from cover to cover in less than two days, and this is not unusual. I found all the articles interesting, and some, such as "The Caregiver Chronicles," profoundly moving. One of your readers felt that the articles in the April issue were too long. To me they seemed just right—long enough to do justice to the material. Your tagline reads "For Women of Style & Substance." Your magazine also has substance, for it feeds the intellect and soul as well as your readers' inner model, fashionista or whatever.
My only request is that you also include the 70s in your "decade articles." However, whether you do or don't, I look forward to reading your magazine for many years.
—Kay Henderson, South Lake Tahoe, CA
I found your letter from the editor "My Slow-Down Secrets" particularly poignant. As I head toward my 45th birthday this summer, just about everything you wrote resonated with me. So much so that I read it to my high school freshman son to show him that some of what I talk about is shared by others in my position. Indeed I am not crazy.
I didn't expect to begin crying as I reread aloud "The bassinet migrates to a dusty corner of the basement to be passed along." But my son is used to my tears that come not just from sadness at the fact that he and his brother (H.S. junior) are growing so fast but also from powerful moments of truth. Wanting to slow down, to appreciate the moment and be present to this glorious life I have is an ongoing goal. As I got to the end of your letter, my son asked again what the title of the magazine was, and when I told him "More," he asked, "Shouldn't it be 'Enough'?" I appreciate that a magazine that essentially promises "More" also encourages its readers to breathe deeply in "Enough." Thank you.
—Suzanne Ostersmith
I just finished flipping through the April issue of More while things were slow at the office. I really enjoyed the memoir on page 124, "The Caregiver Chronicles." It made me smile and cry at the same time. I too have a difficult relationship with my mother, Rita. She is not quite as elderly as Irene Graham and was never very glamorous, but the story got to me on a visceral level.
Please send my appreciation to Barbara Graham. I love the way she presented the love for each other that she and her mother were so very lucky to find.
—Marty Keane, New York
I love the magazine; it is a great fit for where I am in life. However, the repeated use of the phrase "the woman who has it all" to characterize Ms. Margulies made me angry enough to write. A woman (or a man) who works 16 hours a day, even at a lucrative job that she loves, and doesn't spend time with her small child does NOT have it all. No reflection on the cover subject, but a very bad choice of words on the writer's part.
—Linda DeRosett
Please tell Sandy Summers that Nurse Jackie is one of the worst programs about nursing that I have seen ("A Real Nurse Rates the TV Fakes"). The character is a drug addict, cheats on her husband and has sex with the hospital pharmacist who supplies her drug habit. Does Summers advocate supporting a show that involves a nurse working while under the influence of drugs? Do you think that the nurse is able to make sound clinical judgments and take care of patients safely?
—Suzanne Coste
I love your magazine. However, the articles in the April issue, while all great subjects, were way too long. I didn't finish any of them.
—Lori Kash
Re "Look-Great-for-Your-Age Makeup in your 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s":
What happened to the 70s? I am a 70-year-young gal, with plenty of zip and sparkle. I exercise every day for 30 minutes, in addition to doing Yoga and Pilates. I write a column for a local paper and have a small consulting business from home. I may be retired from my usual occupation; however, I have not retired from life.

One of the aspects of my personality I've most admired is I am relatively low maintenance. A fire-ready-aim kinda chick, I am not one to spend undue amounts of timing worrying about my appearance. I have a dear friend who has been known to spend 15 minutes or more fussing with errant strands of her gorgeous mane that are not performing as she would like them to. What? What does she expect them to do, tricks? Frankly, I haven't been able to discern any difference between her before and after fussing, but it seems to make her comfortable.
Me? Well, having lived a long and satisfying life despite having unruly naturally curly hair, I learned long ago, good enough was good enough. Makeup? Really? C'mon, it goes on in the morning. Is everyone happy? It never occurs me to "check my face" throughout the day. I am not concerned with my nose's shine factor, and I'm accustomed to raccoon eyes from the noon hour on. "Primp" is not in my vocabulary . I've been given two beautiful golden compacts, which I keep in their pretty velvet pouches in my lingerie drawer. Why do I need a compact?
This is all to say, I am startled to discover it suddenly takes quite a bit of effort to me out the door. It started with my decision to take better care of myself. So about two years ago I added two-mile walks to my daily routine. That added about 40 minutes to my nominal get-ready time. Now I've added a strength program, which takes another 30 minutes of morning time. I know myself well enough to know that any end-of-the-day exercising is unlikely.
So I'm committed to an hour plus maintaining and strengthening my bones, heart, and other muscles. It's a lot of work. Adding this in to my personal mix has been challenging. That additional 30 minutes has to come from somewhere. I already determined shaving that off the sleep cycle was unwise. So I have 30 fewer minutes to devote to other activities. It seems kind of selfish. And necessary. And important. I've always loathed the expression "me-time." It always sounds like an utterance from a vain socialite piled up in the bed watching soaps and eating bonbons. But I am beginning to see if I don't care of myself, I'm not going to be able to take care of anyone else. Maybe my friends with better-looking hair already knew that. Who knows? I might even pull out the compacts!

5 Protests That Shook the World (With Laughter)
Download the PDF poster for free!
That's because we know humor is powerful: people have used jokes and hoaxes for centuries to humble the bad guys and inspire the good ones. Here are some of our favorite moments in "laughtivism."
In 1967, Abbie Hoffman and members of the Yippies, a radical activist group, threw 300 one-dollar bills from the New York Stock Exchange balcony onto the trading floor. According to Hoffman, as brokers grabbed for petty cash, trading ground to a halt. The famous stunt mocked the unregulated greed that still pervades Wall Street.
In 1702, in an era of religious persecution in England, Daniel Defoe published a fake pamphlet called "The Shortest Way with the Dissenters." It proposed that—rather than barring non-Anglicans from office—it would be faster and easier to exterminate them. Some people believed the pamphlet was real, which so humiliated Anglicans that they had Defoe briefly imprisoned—during which time he produced some wonderful writing.
In November 1943, a fake issue of the Belgian newspaper Le Soir was published by the Front de l'Indépendance, a Belgian resistance organization. The paper looked like the real thing, but a close read revealed biting satire about the Nazi occupation. Some of the publishers were sent to concentration camps, but their brazen humor gave many Belgians the courage to resist the Nazis.
In 2008, Tim DeChristopher, then a student at the University of Utah, went to protest a federal auction selling rights to drill for oil and gas in the Utah wilderness. He then performed what is surely the best prank of the century. DeChristopher intended to barge in and disrupt the proceedings, but a door attendant confronted him: "Are you a bidder?" Tim thought: "That's funny. Bidder?" "Why yes," he said out loud. "Yes, I am." The attendant gave him a paddle, and Tim won 14 parcels of land. Finally the auctioneer caught on, put the auction on hold, and had Tim arrested. Months later, the Obama administration cancelled the sales. DeChristopher singlehandedly saved thousands of acres of wilderness and now looks forward to writing some wonderful things in prison, where he may be headed after sentencing.
Mike and Andy had already begun a habit of impersonating corporate hacks and hacking corporate websites, when in 2004, the BBC fell for a phony site (dowethics.com) the two had constructed to mimic Dow Chemical's website. The site described why Dow and its subsidiary, Union Carbide, had never taken responsibility for the 1984 Bhopal disaster, when a pesticide plant leaked, causing thousands of deaths and leaving behind a toxic legacy. The BBC booked Jude Finisterra (a.k.a. Andy Bichlbaum) to comment on the anniversary of Bhopal. Finisterra announced on international television that Dow would spend billions of dollars to clean up Bhopal. Major news wires picked up the story, and within 23 minutes, Dow's stock price fell by 4.2 percent, a $2 billion loss. —YES! editors
(The humble Yes Men did not include one of their own stunts. But we, YES! Magazine editors (no relation), decided to anyway.)
Yes Men Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno wrote this article for , the Summer 2011 issue of YES! Magazine.
Václav Havel called it "the power of the powerless." How regular people, from Denmark to Liberia, have stood up to power—and won.
How does the United States try cases of civil disobedience? Activist Tim DeChristopher on how much has changed since the founding fathers.
All around you are everyday heroes who refuse to be complicit in the economic mistreatment of other people.

Eating to Live on the Outside: Lush
After another busy week of blogging, it's finally Friday. Time to eat! And today, Eating to Live on the Outside we're heading to Lush in Atlanta, Georgia. Not literally.
Looking at the menu, I dig it! It's not perfect, but there are enough Fuhrman-friendly options to experiment. So, here's what I might order:
Quinoa Tabouleh Salad
- Quinoa, fresh mint, parsley, cucumbers, tomatoes and black olive oil; okay, quinoa rocks, but the olive oil might annoy you. I'm cool.
Roasted Red Beet Carpaccio
- Red beets, baby arugula, red onion, fried capers and champagne vinaigrette; I'd nix the capers.
Steamed Butternut Squash Shuimai
- Butternut squash, garlic herb butter, toasted pumpkin seeds and balsamic reduction; I like the squash, but I'd pass on the butter.
Wehani Wild Rice Salad
- Wild rice, walnuts, dried cranberries, apples, celery, carrots and organic apple cider vinaigrette; the wild rice is a little iffy, but I'm okay with it.
Pan-Roasted Exotic Mushrooms
- Mushrooms, asparagus, sweet corn, roasted garlic risotto, fried leeks and truffle oil; if the risotto is dairy-free I can handle it, but the fried leeks do give me pause.
Fire-Grilled Herb-Marinated Portabella Caps
- Portabella mushrooms, roasted root vegetable farro, baby arugula, crispy salsify and thyme-infused garlic cream reduction; sounds free intriguing, hopefully they can ditch the cream.
Spicy Creole Vegetable Gumbo
- Vegetables, basmati rice, golden crisped okra and warm corn bread; I'd skip the corn bread and the rice doesn't bother me too much.
Szechwan Glazed Tofu
- Tofu, red peppers, Vidalia onions and shitake mushrooms; pretty simple, sounds good.
Baby Argula, Endive, Melon and Stone Fruits
- All that stuff and vanilla bean vinaigrette; quite an enticing combination.
Not a landside of food, but there's plenty of good stuff! If had to pick, I'd go for Roasted Red Beet Carpaccio or the Steamed Butternut Squash Shuimai. I'm a sucker for roasted beets.
Okay, your turn! Check out Lush's menu and let me know how you handle Eating to Live on the Outside. It's easy, just send an email or make a comment. Until then, eat mightily! Peace.

Seminary alum ministers to soldiers in Afghanistan and other Army posts
John Jacobs Jr., the only chaplain in his U.S. Army battalion, stood on a blood-soaked plywood board as he conducted a worship service for soldiers at a tiny combat outpost in the mountains of Afghanistan. Many wounded soldiers had been brought to this spot for transport back to a base hospital. This lonely outpost was one of numerous stops for Jacobs ...More

James Lindsay has been doing some great blogging on how to apply Bayesian reasoning to model John Loftus' Outsider Test for Faith (or OTF). A while ago I asked for recommendations of bloggers that often write about Bayes' Theorem for a general audience (see Bayesian Blogging), and a few came up there. This is another.
Formulating and extensively defending the OTF is Loftus' greatest contribution to the philosophy of religion and atheism. His best and most thorough treatment appears as chapter four in The Christian Delusion (a book I always recommend anyway as it contains lots of great chapters by great authors; and two by me). He is writing a whole book on it now. It should be out this year (I've seen advanced drafts and it's good; I'll blog it when you can buy it). The OTF is featured at Iron Chariots (which provides examples of looser expressions of the concept throughout history) and Loftus discusses it often at Debunking Christianity.
The basic idea is that you can only have a rational faith if you test it by the same standards you apply to all other competing faiths; yet when you do that, your religion tests as false as the others, and the same reasons you use to reject those become equally valid reasons to reject yours. Though this idea has been voiced before, Loftus is the first to name it, rigorize it, and give it an extensive philosophical defense; moreover, by doing so, he is the first to cause a concerted apologetic to arise attempting to dodge it, to which he could then respond. The end result is one of the most effective and powerful arguments for atheism there is. It is, in effect, a covering argument that subsumes all other arguments for atheism into a common framework.
Lindsay, meanwhile, is an expert mathematician and author of God Doesn't; We Do: Only Humans Can Solve Human Challenges (2012). His blog of the same title treats a number of issues in support of that book and its argument. I don't always agree with him. But his blogging on Bayes' Theorem is great. He started by talking about how Loftus' OTF can be formulated using Bayes' Theorem, to show why it can't be dodged the way Christian apologists want. This led to further blogging on the subject, including a Bayesian analysis of "faith" in general. It's worth checking out.
The first of these (on which the others build) is:
Here much of his argument is backed formally by my Bayesian models in The End of Christianity (edited by Loftus) for Christianity as a religion (chapter two) and for the design argument generally (chapter twelve); where most of the math is in the endnotes but the Bayesian logic is made explicit in each. These chapters especially explain why the evidence has a much higher consequent probability (a higher "likelihood" in sci-speak) on naturalism than on any kind of theism (much less Christian theism).
Combine those with Lindsay's post and you should get a clear understanding why atheism is true and Bayesian reasoning proves it. Lindsay's treatment will be especially helpful in understanding how atheists think like Bayesians all the time even when they don't know it (and how Christians, in contrast, are really awful Bayesians). I give other examples of Bayesian atheism near the end of my talk Bayes' Theorem: Lust for Glory (which is still my best intro to BT for beginners), which can supplement all this.
Lindsay continued blogging under the tag "Math" and what's there so far is all Bayes' Theorem stuff. Maybe that won't always be the case, but keeping tabs on that tagged subject going forward might lead you to more gems about Bayesian reasoning. So far there are three other posts:
- A Bit More Clarity on Bayes's Theorem and Loftus's Outsider Test for Faith (which shows how a BT-formulated OTF forces believers to confront facts that plain descriptions of the OTF might not; in short, it's the probability of the evidence, and not just the prior probability, that's the problem, although the OTF shows both are a problem for any honest believer)
- Continuing My Bayesian Argument–The Role of Evidence (where he defends the OTF against accusations that it would lead to weird conclusions in other domains, which a BT analysis shows is actually not true; although he incorrectly applies the term a priori here: the prior probability in the OTF is not a priori, but based on background evidence regarding the number of observed religious faiths; a priori knowledge is by definition not based on any such evidence, and in particular neither are a priori probabilities; for an actual example of the latter, see my note 8, pp. 406-07, in TEC)
- Defining Faith via Bayesian Reasoning (which builds a Bayesian definition of faith, when faith is used in any sense other than as a synonym of belief; this also provides an example of how many of Loftus' rebuttals of critics of the OTF can be framed in Bayesian terms to show why he is right and they are not)
Good stuff so far. So I'm adding this to my list of Bayesian bloggers worth keeping an eye on. Another to add is Jeff Lowder.

((I really dropped the ball on Sakura, but the RiotStomp is up and operational again if someone wants to try their luck))
The Riotstomp twiches bloodied metal claws in anticipation of the next challenger.
Nope... but you just entered the Arena Hoss... Best of Luck to you.
*The Riotstomp whirs to life, Hell's Bell's blasting out of the shoulder mounted speakers. The sunlight glitters of the few parts of metal that haven't been stained by blood and gore. The deathsuit took a tentative step forward, sizing up it's enemy*
First Question: (always an easy one) Who are the two stars of both Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz?
*The RiotStomp moves forward as god's indecision proves fatal. It dispatches him with a single claw swipe, tearing the top half off and flinging it aside. The lower torso takes a few tentative steps, then realizes it's dead and drops to the knees then pitches forward, creating a growing pool of blood and gore. The dangerous machine shoots it's clawed hands toward the heavens and the speakers let out a roar of triump. Another Victory!*
That was an EASY question.... 21 hours was more than enough time to come up with a suitable answer.
The Lacemaker's mind drifted back to the fable of the old lion and the fox. Many footprints leading into the cave, none coming out. Even she was doubting her own capability. She had yet to see the mechanical monstrosity with her own eyes, only hearing cries, desperate swipes, wails that would soon be put to an end from the inside. The light tried to shield her from the horror. But it was all too late. She was now consumed by the bitter darkness as she approached. Bit by bit, her body and soul engulfed. The noises from the inside halted once more, the silence only to be heeded was an invitation. Was she ready for RiotStomp? All she could be sure of was that RiotStomp was ready for her.
I can shamelessly say now for the majority of these questions I'll be bounding towards a search engine for!
No Problem... how do you think Nocturne got as far as he did.
*The RiotStomp roared to life, sensing fresh victims. This time it felt...frisky. Electricity crackled off the tips of it's metal claws. The theme song to Howdy Doody,evidently copied off an old and damaged LP screeched weakly from the speakers, backed by echoing laughter of children. It stepped forward, wiping a bit of god off it's foot.*
Name 3 Television Series that Bruce Campbell has acted in, not movies.
Xena: Warrior Princess [I used to watch that show], Burn Notice [it was shown on TV a few months ago but I haven't heard it since. Did it get axed?] and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys [checked that one up, it was film in New Zealand! Plus Lucy Lawless is a New Zealander, she's appeared in a few events 'round here].
It ... It was enjoying this. It yearned for her blood, her sputtering blood on its feral claws. RiotStomp stood before her, towering above, but it was different than she expected. It was more ... more alive. It wasn't some sort of lifeless killing machine, this was some sort of malicious beast. Her swift foot saved her from an attack. It was only going to get worse from hereon.
Excellent (of course I know most of thos shows.. I've got Xena and Hercules on DVD of course.. well not all of Xena.. the show went downhill rapdily after they axed Joxer.)
*The RiotStomp was intrigued. It had been some time since it was not able to destroy an opponent in the first rounds of combat. Now it crouched low for a moment, then sprung forward, both elctrified claws attempting to grab the girl and crush her.*
What do you have to do to defeat Giygas at the end of Earthbound?
Oh, by the way Lacemaker, Burn notice came on yesterday after monday night raw on USA.
So it must've gotten past the first season. Well, I don't think it'll be coming here anytime soon.
And hell, Earthbound is one of my absolute favourite games of all time! I think I've said that a few times already when I'd go onto my talks about SNES being the greatest console alive ... But anyway, this one I didn't have to check up at all. You need Paula to pray, and she calls upon the people of the world to help her pray, and even when Giygas seems impossible, praying does the most damage. I thought that was really nice. Afterwards they go back to the Mr. Saturn village place, send everyone home and everything ... real satisfying. I love that game.
Oh, maybe I'm missing something about the sound stones in there? I don't remember what happened to them after getting the eight ... only a scene when you go into Ness's consciousness. And even then I don't know why.
*The Riotstomp...missed? The girl catapulted into the air to avoid the grasping claws and her feet connected hard with the top of the machine and pushed off. It was getting a tad irritable now. It was no fun if you couldn't MANGLE your opponent. Radio feedback screeched from the speakers as it started slashing wildly again.*
Who are the Four Favored Servitors of the Reckoners in the Deadlands universe?
Dr. Damienn Hellstromme, servitor of Pestilence; Reverend Grimm, Servitor of Famine; Raven, Servitor of War and Stone; Servitor of Death. [thank you very much, credits to Keke hun for the help!]
The two were locked in dance. The Lacemaker did all she could to stall the beast as its ravenous onslaught heightened. With each swipe at her, she could feel the wind move past her with more force until its talons were right by her very face. Speakers blaring, she could only back away until she was up against the wall. Could this have been the end?
Fists clenched and eyes tightly closed, she prepared for oblivion. At that moment, at that very last moment, a surge of power ran through her. It felt ... It felt amazing. A guardian angel? Perhaps. The gods ensured that this was not the end. She grabbed a long sword from her waist and took a single leap. Both hands clutching the hilt, The Lacemaker forced the blade, with all her might, into the back of the monster.
Oooh.. two down, better make em harder....
*Feedback blared through the speakers as the Riotstomp rocked and writhed as the blade struck home. Suddenly mechanically arms swiveled backwards at an angle nearly impossible for a fleshy humanoid. The apelike appendages reached out, claws sparking and spit with eletric death as it attempted to dislodge the attacker*
What is the other, originally more common name of Damozoi, the Viral Lord?
Doubt you'll find this one with a simple internet search, and I'm NOT about to let anymore cute girls talk me out of secrets... Good Luck.
[Spare me another 24 hours! I've been out all day!]
(done, 24 hours)

*The RiotStomp was sluggish now, it staggered about, the sword stuck in it's back. It's few motions were little more than wild thrashing. It would not be defeated however. It knelt down suddenly and began crackling with energy, suddenly a blast of energy emerged from it's back, shooting skyward and attempting to catch the Lacemaker full blast.*
((I'll get you for this Ben))
What is the name of the girl I was madly in love with for the entirety of High School and much after it...
((anyone who KNOWS this at least make sure she gives you somethign worthwhile in trade for the answer))
[That's no fair if the information isn't available anywhere apart from yourself! You were way easier on Nocturne]
[And don't be too hard on Ben please]
I think this game should have a rule banning ridiculous questions. And now that I've said what I came to say, I think I'll watch. *sits in stands* Go Lacemaker!
EH you can find it several ways. Just have to dig deep, ask probing questions, break into high schools, or bribe public officials or something creative. I'll give you 48 more hours. THis last question always has to be the hardest.

Together with Our Partners
In addition, with an aim to lessen environmental burden, we have established the "Green Purchasing Guidelines" in cooperation with our business partners. We shall further promote more eco-friendly purchasing activities giving importance to partnership with our suppliers.
Proper Transactions
Purchasing Policy
Clarion aims to conduct open and fair transactions with its suppliers at all times sensibly and with sincerity. We seek new business partners both domestically and overseas as we expand our global purchasing/procurement activities in 7 Group manufacturing companies in 6 countries around the world. In the process of selection, we put importance on their approach to the environment and CSR in addition to their quality and R&D capabilities.
We value communication with our business partners, and aim to establish relationships by which both parties can share their strategies and improve each other's competitiveness.
Briefing Meeting on Purchasing
We hold an annual meeting to give briefings and explanations on our purchasing policy and request cooperation with our CSR initiatives and eco-friendly activities. A total of 350 partner companies (Japan 156, China 135, Thailand 59) attended briefing meetings held between March and April, 2015 in Japan, China and Thailand. In the course of purchasing activities, we are promoting activities, with more consideration on environmental protection, laying out the "Green Purchasing Guidelines" as an example. Further, as we joined the Hitachi Group, we are also communicating the "Hitachi Group CSR Activity Policy" to our business partners. We also have regular meetings with Hitachi's CSR departments to share information.
Business partners commended at the Briefing Session of Purchasing Policy (Japan)
Annual Awards to Business Partners
We have a system in place for awarding our business partners annually to encourage their improvement activities and suggestions related to dealing with products with higher added value. The awards are presented to those partners whose performance with respect to Q (Quality), C (Costs), D (Delivery Time) and VEC* activities were particularly outstanding in that year. In fiscal 2014, the awards were given to 8 such companies in Japan, 6 in China and 3 in Thailand.
VE is a technique for analyzing various factors related to costs and features in order to develop and offer products equipped with features customers want at minimal cost.
Education on Fair Trade with Our Business Partners
Responsible personnel in purchasing attend regular outside seminars in connection with Act against Delay in Payment of Subcontract Proceeds, Etc. to Subcontractors (Subcontract Act) in order to ensure law compliance and fair trade transactions. In fiscal 2014, seven staffs participated in the outside seminars. We are also making efforts for higher CSR awareness through regular divisional educational lectures.
We will continue to improve knowledge and competence of individual staffs through active use of outside seminars and e-learning on laws and regulations, and as well as on professional skills in purchasing operations.

The services were held under a brush arbor that had been built just outside of the yard near the home of an old brother who seemed to be the main stay and support of the meeting, as well as of the little church in that community. A number of ladies, under the supervision of his wife did the cooking there in her kitchen, and the people ate around some long temporary tables that had been set up in the back yard.
The Baptist Trumpet--March 1965
I attended an association in the summer of 1917, but right now I do not mean to say where it was, nor when it was, lest someone think I am casting reflections, which I certainly am not. There may be a few people yet living who were at that association and may be able to recognize it by some of the things I am going to say about it. It used to be common, though it seems to be not so common now, to hear old timers refer to how something was "in the good old days." This association was "in those good old days."
Cars were not in general use then, at least among our people. Even at our associations cars were seldom seen. I was living then about a hundred and fifty miles from where this association was being held, that is, if I went on the train, and that was the only way I had to go. I was teaching school that summer and could not, or did not, go in time for the services on Friday, but I let out my school a little early that afternoon so I could go home and clean up and walk five miles into town in time to catch the early evening train. About forty miles from the town where I lived, this train would make connection with another train that would take me on to the town where the meeting was being held and there was only a few minutes lay-over.
When I got off the train at this last town about 2:00 o'clock in the morning it was raining. I was the only person to get off so the train was not there long. I went on into the dimly lighted depot and within minutes the roar and noise of the onrushing train had died away and everything around the little deserted depot was hushed and still, except for the splatter of the rain outside and an occasional click-clickety-click of the telegraph instruments in the office where the sleepy station agent sat dozing. I did not see another living soul the rest of that night.
When it began to get daylight I walked on up in town and the first person I saw was a man in a barn-like building near an alley, putting the harness on some horses. I asked him if he knew where this meeting was being held, and he did not, but he said the man in the office in the funeral home may know. I stepped inside and asked him and he knew alright, and told me how to get there, but he said, "I am fixing to send one of my men out there in a few minutes to pick up the body of a lady that died a little while ago, and he will be going within a mile of the place and you may ride with him, if you don't mind riding in a hearse." I didn't mind. Any kind of conveyance was better than walking nine miles on a muddy dirt road. I got there just as they were eating breakfast.
The services were held under a brush arbor that had been built just outside of the yard near the home of an old brother who seemed to be the main stay and support of the meeting, as well as of the little church in that community. A number of ladies, under the supervision of his wife did the cooking there in her kitchen, and the people ate around some long temporary tables that had been set up in the back yard. There was no camping on the ground in the sense that we now think of it, but most of the people slept there or near. They had beds made down all over the house, in the barn, smoke-house, hayloft, and all over the place, even in the chicken house.
Quite a number of preachers were there though I had met but few of them before that time, as well as a large congregation of people. Saturday night I was assigned a place to sleep on a hay bed in the loft of the chicken house. I had been up all the night before, the services that day had been long and tiring, the day had been hot and sultry after the early morning shower, I was tired and any kind of bed sounded good to me. Somewhere around 11:00 o'clock I went to bed but not to sleep. Evidently the chickens downstairs had mites, since the hay upstairs was literally crawling alive with them. I stood it as long as I thought I could, which was not very long, and then got up and quietly slipped back down the ladder and went out to the barn and took off my clothes and whipped them against the wall to get rid of my tormenters, also rubbed and brushed the pesky things off me as best I could, then redressed and went up to the brush arbor and what little sleep I got that night was on one of the rough, make-shift benches that were so commonly seen around places of that kind in that day and time. By Sunday morning I was so tired and worn out from the very little sleep I had got the two nights before that I remember very little about who preached, or the service in general that day, but I was glad to be there and meet the few people I knew, and to meet and get acquainted with many others who later became my life long friends. Some of them have long ago gone to their eternal home, but a few are yet living and I consider to be among the best friends I ever had.
Most of the preachers who were there had come on the train, and some of them, like myself, wanted to catch the 2:30 o'clock train that afternoon, and it seemed that no provision, or at least, not enough provision had been made to convey all of them back to the depot, and as soon as, or maybe even before the service came to a close, about six or seven of them started out afoot, and so far as I know, without any dinner, in order to reach town before train time. I was the youngest one in the bunch, and so far as I know, the only one that was not a preacher.
I deeply enjoyed the company and conversation of those men as we trudged along, but I learned then that, after conditions like those through which I had gone the two days and nights before, that a forced hike over nine miles of rough country road, under the beaming rays of an August noon-day sun, and on an empty stomach, could be quite a trying experience, even to a young man, and I am sure some of these preachers were in their sixties, or older.
As I look back now over the nearly forty-eight years that have come and gone since that day, I believe the most impressive things on that trip to me, were, in the order in which they came, first, riding to the association in the big black horse-drawn hearse over those muddy, bumpy country roads; second, being run out of the loft of that chicken house by those mites; and third--and in later years this came to be the most impressive to me--those hungry ministers starting out under a sweltering sun to walk nine miles back to town to catch the train.
Whatever this little experience of mine of many years ago may mean to you, I hope it will be a reminder to the older ones, who can remember many things that happened in "the good old days," that we have come a long way since then, and to suggest to our young people that although many things may not be as we wish, maybe yet they are not quite as bad as we may sometimes think.
May we all, young and old, count our blessings and appreciate them and thank God for them every day.

Mens Water Polo Remains Unbeaten in Southern Play, Bests Bucknell 14-9
Paced by three goals apiece from Kurt Buchbinder and Jovan Jeremic and a well-executed defensive effort, the No. 13 Princeton men's water polo team defeated Bucknell, 14-9, Sunday afternoon at DeNunzio Pool. The win preserves Princeton's undefeated Southern Division record, while improving the Tigers to 11-3, 4-0 Southern on the year.
Goalie Ben Dearborn limited the Bison to only four goals over his three quarters of work, including a shutout first. The senior had 10 saves in the winning effort to move to 6-1 on the season.
Thomas Nelson scored twice and Jeremic added the first of his trio in the first quarter, setting up a 7-0 run over the first two periods for the Tigers.
Dearborn nearly had a pair of shutout quarters to open the game, but Bucknell connected with 1:05 left in the first half to send Princeton into the break with an 8-1 advantage.
Princeton maintained its momentum through the second half, extending its lead to 11-4 in the third quarter.
Tyler Amina took over duties in the cage in the fourth, making two saves and a steal.
The Tigers finished with eight steals in the match, led by Buchbinder and Galainena's pair each.
Drew Hoffenberg, Jamie Kuprenas and Nelson made three assists, as Princeton distributed the ball well throughout the contest.
The Tigers will remain at home next weekend hosting Johns Hopkins at 2 p.m. and Navy at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 12.
No. 13 Princeton: 5 – 4 – 1 – 2 – 14
Bucknell: 0 – 1 – 4 – 5 – 9
Goals: Nelson 2, Galainena 1, Butler 1, Shannon 1, Hoffenberg 2, Buchbinder 3, Jeremic 3, Kuprenas 1
Assists: Nelson 3, Galainena 1, Fink 1, Hoffenberg 3, Kuprenas 3
Steals: Nelson 1, Galainena 2, Butler 1, Buchbinder 2, Kuprenas, Amina 1
Saves: Dearborn (24:00) 10, Amina (8:00) 2

It is funny how things change when you are an adult. As a child, you see your parents as strong, independent and loving. Parents take care of you, and it never ends — even when you are an adult. But parents do age, and so does the role that they play.
Suddenly you become the parent or caregiver when the parent becomes ill or ages. It is a difficult transition from child to parent. As the parent ages, they tend to have more childlike qualities. Perhaps forgetting something such as taking medicine or perhaps the day of the week. Suddenly we are the caregivers taking care of our loved ones. At times we have help with the caregiving. Other times we do not.
We may also have our own families to take care of. But our concerns fall to our parents. We now take care of them. And return the care that they gave to us. We still see them as our parents eventhough we are now the caregivers. We love them as they have loved us. And will forever be greatful.

Teenager charged with stealing race car from trailer
Published: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 3:24 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 3:24 p.m.
A Davidson County teenager has been charged with stealing a race car from a locked trailer.
Dylan Thomas Corum, 16, of 5146 E. Old U.S. Highway 64, was charged with felony larceny of motor vehicle, felony attempting to break and enter a building and two counts of felony breaking and entering to motor vehicles. He was placed in the Davidson County Detention Center under a $2,000 secured bond and has a court date of Dec. 3.
A man reported to the sheriff's office Oct. 29 that he discovered someone had broken into two of his locked, enclosed trailers and stolen a race car from one of them, according to a press release. The suspect had also attempted to break into his shop but had been unsuccessful in making entry.
Deputies received information Nov. 11 that the vehicle was located at a residence on Old U.S. Highway 64 East. The vehicle was recovered and returned to the owner.
During the course of the investigation, detectives with the Davidson County Sheriff's Office alleged that Corum had stolen the car. He had attempted to conceal the vehicle by removing the body panels, the release said.

La Monnaie ¦ Recitals ¦ Dmitri Hvorostovsky ¦ Intro
Dmitri Hvorostovsky
The Russian Soul
The baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky is invited by the most prestigious opera houses, showing his talent for Mozart and Verdi and playing the great roles of Russian opera, as he is showing his formidable skills as an interpreter of the song repertoire of his country of birth. Having already been welcomed to La Monnaie for two recitals, he has come back, ready to enchant us with the language of Pushkin in the form of Tchaikovsky's and Rachmaninoff's lieder, as well as offering us the songs of two master pianists and composers of the 19th century: the post-romantic Nikolai Medtner and the unclassifiable Franz Liszt, whose lieder form the least well-known part of his canon. Come and hear a magnificent voice in a programme that is both brilliant and out of the ordinary.

Celebrating 30 years of providing fashionable comfort footwear and excellent service— Footwear etc. • Established 1986 —
Select your desired product options and we will notify you when it is back in stock.
Orthaheel shoes are designed to restore natural foot function and counteract the daily grind of walking on hard and unnatural surfaces. Through the balance and alignment of your feet you can enjoy easier movement, greater endurance, and enhanced energy.
Orthaheel Relax Slippers Dark Grey Zebra Women's Sandal
Features include:
Great arch support! I wear them at home all the time -- need to buy a second pair.
I love these slippers, easy slip-on/slip-off with excellent arch support for when I'm standing at my home computer or cooking in the kitchen. They have really helped my back and knees when standing for a long period, or walking throughout the house on hard-wood floors.
Buy no other! Instant cure for spur
These slippers are worth every penny you pay for them. I wear them every day, all day long, instead of my Vionic shoes, which I wear outside. When these wear out, I will buy another pair.
Love these slippers! The size was perfect, too. I wear a 7 or 7 1/2 so as recommended bought the 7 and it fit great. I have heel pain, especially first thing in the morning so I put them right by my bed at night and put them on when I wake up. Any heel pain quickly gone as I walk in them. This morning no pain and that is because I always wear them in the house and its working!!!
Will never wear any other slipper. My foot pain is worse first thing in the morning and I feel immediate relief when I put these on. The Velcro strap makes them easy to adjust if you want to wear with socks. As with other vionic footwear, I am a 7.5 so I order a 7. Fits perfectly.
This is my second pair of these slippers. Took awhile to order first pair because of price but finally ordered some. After living in the first ones for a couple of months (leopard pattern), wanted a black pair. With my numerous foot issues, comfort is everything and these slippers deliver!
As such, they are really a bargain. The adjustability is great and allows for good fit either with or without socks.
I love these slippers. Best I've ever owned. I wear them all day so I better buy a second pair soon.
i could not deal with the pain of my left heel and the hardwood floors in my home...until my dr recommended these! Tremendous slipper, support and cushioning of my heel - paid has improved dramatically and i am planning on buying more colors so i can have travel pair etc. These are amazing on hard wood floors - worth every penny
For me - i wear a 7 but on these - i got an 8 so my toes would not touch the front upper lip of the slipper since it curls upward...i want my foot in the bed and not touching the front or back lips.

That Girl Quilt-Along Blocks
Ding ding ding! Done!
Okay, I think I know how Jennifer probably feels about my solid color choice, but ...
Yes. Lime green. Sorry, Jennifer, I had to do it. : ) As soon as I pulled the Farmdale for this quilt, I knew it had to be green. It was screaming for green.
This rooster was positively crowing for the green. Just look at him, he's all over it. And I love it too! Plus, it's kind of apple-ish. How appropriate.
This is my favorite block. I love this blue floral to pieces. And it looks fab with the green.
Chain o' blocks.
Bring on Round 4!

Bob Barr is the Libertarian candidate for President of the United States. To put this in perspective, Ron Paul is a Libertarian. Given this, Bob Barr is indeed every bit as crazy as you'd expect.
I like how un-Libertarian he is, such as - wanting to make it illegal for people in the military to be Wiccans. And how he sponsored the defense of Marriage Act, which stands in direct opposition to the Constitution. Of course this isn't necessarily strange, as Libertarianism is less a political theory than it is as a disguise for crazy racists to get together and hate black people.

The firm redoing Empire Avenue has assigned a new team of managers to the project this year, one of the steps taken in an effort to assuage the neighborhood after delays mounted in 2012 and the project was extended to a second construction season.
Condie Construction Company, based in Springville, received criticism from people who live along Empire Avenue and City Hall officials last year. The unhappy people complained that the firm was working at a slow pace.
In an interview last week in Park City, a Condie Construction Company official expressed confidence as the firm was readying to restart the work. Nate Simpson, a field division manager who is overseeing the schedule and the Condie Construction Company budget, said the firm has a better understanding of the conditions having worked on the road last year.
"It was tough on everyone, absolutely," Simpson said about the work last year. "This has been one of the most difficult projects Condie has done."
City Hall is redoing the full length of Empire Avenue, the latest in a series of major upgrades to streets in Old Town over the past decade or so. Some of the work was done last year, but major tasks remain.
The work this year will include finishing a water line, completing the rest of the sewer and building curbs and gutters. The crews must also repave Empire Avenue between Manor Way and 9th Street as well as putting in landscaping and reconnecting driveways to the road.
The crews are anticipated to start as early as April 15, weather permitting, with some mobilization later this week.
"Construction always has variables. But we feel like we put together as solid a plan as we possibly can," Simpson said.
Empire Avenue will be closed to traffic from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. on weekdays during most of the work. The closure will allow the crews to work more efficiently, Simpson indicated. Matt Cassel, the Park City engineer and the staffer who is monitoring the work on behalf of City Hall, said full road closures are scheduled during the first three or four weeks. At least part of Empire Avenue remained open at all times during the construction in 2012. No work is planned on the weekends.
"We're pretty confident these guys will pull it off," Cassel said, describing the discussions so far with the new team of managers from Condie Construction Company.

The Midfield
The midfielders are responsible for transitioning the ball from defense to attack and vice versa. They should have speed and endurance and be ready to receive the ball from the defense and run or pass the ball. There are 5 midfielders, one of which is the Center. The center's responsibility is to control the draw and play both defense and attack. Midfielders play on both the offensive and defensive ends and have to ability to score.
The Defense
There are 3 defenders that mark the opposing attackers. They should be able to stick check, body check and look to intercept passes. Also, they should be able to receive clears, run fast and have good footwork.
The goalkeeper's responsibility is to protect the goal. She should have good stickwork, courage and confidence.
Women's Lacrosse Equipment
Crosse: The crosse (lacrosse stick) is made of wood, laminated wood, or synthetic material, with a shaped net pocket at the end. The crosse must be an overall length of 35½ to 43¼ inches. The head of the crosse must be seven to nine inches wide. The pocket of the stick must be strung traditionally; no mesh is allowed. The top of the ball when dropped in the pocket must remain even with or above the side walls. The goalkeeper's crosse may be 35½ to 48 inches long. The head of the crosse may be mesh and up to 12 inches wide.
Ball: The ball must be yellow and made of solid rubber. The ball must be 7¾ to 8 inches in circumference and weigh 5 to 5¼ ounces.
Mouthpiece: All players must wear mouthguards.
Protective Equipment: Close-fitting gloves, nose guards, soft head gear and eye guards are optional, and may be worn by all players.The Goalkeeper's Equipment: The goalkeeper must wear a face mask and helmet with a mouth guard, throat protector and chest protector. The goalkeeper may wear padding on hands, arms, legs, shoulders and chest which does not excessively increase the size of those body parts.
Women's Lacrosse Rules
Women's lacrosse is a non-contact game played by 12 players: a goalkeeper, five attackers and six defenders. The object of the game is to shoot the ball into the opponent's goal. The team scoring the most goals wins.
Women's lacrosse begins with a draw, which is taken by the center position. The ball is placed between two horizontally held crosses (sticks) at the center of the field. At the sound of the whistle, the ball is flung into the air as the crosses are pulled up and away. A draw is used to start each half and after each goal, and it takes place at the center of the field.The collegiate game is 60 minutes long, each half being 30 minutes. The high school girls game is 50 minutes long, each half being 25 minutes. In both collegiate and high school play, teams are allowed one timeout per half.
There are visual guidelines on the side of the field that are in place to provide a consistent indicator to the officials of what is considered the playing field. The minimum dimensions for a field is 120 yards by 70 yards. Additional markings on the field include a restraining line located 30 yards from each goal line, which creates an area where only a maximum of seven offensive players and eight defensive players (including the goalkeeper) are allowed; a 12-meter fan, which officials use to position players after fouls; and an arc in front of each goal, considered the critical scoring area, where defenders must be at least within a stick's-length of their attacker. The boundaries are determined by the natural restrictions of the field. An area of 120 yards by 70 yards is desirable.
When a whistle blows, all players must stop in place. When a ball is ruled out of play, the player closest to the ball gets possession when play is resumed. Loss of possession may occur if a player deliberately runs or throws the ball out of play.
Rough checks, and contact to the body with the crosse or body, are not allowed.
Field players may pass, catch or run with the ball in their crosse. A player may gain possession of the ball by dislodging it from an opponent's crosse with a check. A check is a controlled tap with a crosse on an opponent's crosse in an attempt to knock the ball free. The player must be one step in front of her opponent in order to check. No player may reach across an opponent's body to check the handle of a crosse when she is even with or behind that opponent. A player may not protect the ball in her crosse by cradling so close to her body or face so as to make a legal, safe check impossible for the opponent.
All legal checks must be directed away from a 7-inch sphere or "bubble" around the head of the player. No player is allowed to touch the ball with her hands except the goalkeeper when she is within the goal circle. A change of possession may occur if a player gains a distinct advantage by playing the ball off her body.
Fouls are categorized as major or minor, and the penalty for fouls is a "free position." For major fouls, the offending player is placed four meters behind the player taking the free position. For a minor foul, the offending player is placed four meters off, in the direction from which she approached her opponent before committing the foul, and play is resumed. When a minor foul is committed in the critical scoring area, the player with the ball has an indirect free position, in which
case the player must pass first.
A slow whistle occurs when the offense has entered the critical scoring area and the defense has committed a major foul. A flag is thrown but no whistle is sounded so that the offense has an opportunity to score a goal. A whistle is blown when a goal is scored or the scoring opportunity is over. An immediate whistle is blown when a major foul, obstruction or shooting space occurs, which jeopardizes the safety of a player.

Slashing: When a defender swings her crosse at an opponent's crosse or body with deliberate viciousness or recklessness, whether or not the opponent's crosse or body is struck.
Three Seconds: A defender may not stand within the eight meter arc, unless she is closely marking an opponent, for more than three seconds.
Obstruction of Free Space: When a defender is not closely marking her opponent and is in the free space to goal of the attack player with the ball. The attack player must have the opportunity and be looking to shoot.

Draw: A technique to start or resume play by which a ball is placed in between the sticks of two standing players and drawn up and away.
Eight-Meter Arc: A semi-circular area in front of the goal used for the administration of major fouls. A defender may not remain in this area for more than three seconds unless she is within a stick's length of her opponent.
Free Position: An opportunity awarded to the offense when a major or minor foul is committed by the defense. All players must move four meters away from the player with the ball. When the whistle sounds to resume play, the player may run, pass or shoot the ball.
Free Space To Goal: A cone-shaped path extending from each side of the goal circle to the attack player with the ball. A defense player may not, for safety reasons, stand alone in this area without closely marking an opponent.

Indirect Free Position: An opportunity awarded to the offense when a minor foul is committed by the defense inside the 12 meter fan. When the whistle sounds to resume play, the player may run or pass, but may not shoot until a defender or one of her teammates has played the ball.
Marking: Being within a stick's length of an opponent.
Penalty Lane: The path to the goal that is cleared when a free position is awarded to the attacking team.
Scoring Play: A continuous effort by the attacking team to move the ball toward the goal and to complete a shot on goal.

Sphere: An imaginary area, approximately 18 cm (seven inches) which surrounds a player's head. No stick checks toward the head are allowed to break the sphere.
12-Meter Fan: A semi-circle in front of the goal used for the administration of minor fouls.
Warning Cards: A yellow card presented by an umpire to a player is a warning which indicates that she will next receive a red card and be suspended from further participation if she continues to play dangerously and/or conduct herself in an unsportsmanlike manner. A green card is presented by an umpire to the team captain indicating a team caution for delay of game.
