"And Jesus, having again cried with a loud voice, gave up the ghost.
And lo, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were rent..." Matthew 27:50-51*
The gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke each record the tearing of veil (also referred to as the curtain) occurred on the day of Jesus' death. This may seem hardly noteworthy but consider: according to historical records, the veil was estimated to be 40 to 60 feet high, 30 feet wide, 3 or 4 inches thick, and horses tied on either end of the veil could not pull it apart. Seen together, the foregoing facts demonstrate that veil was of considerable height and attempting to tear the fabric from any point would require unimaginable strength.
So what exactly was the veil? The veil was used as a partition between the Holy of Holies, the dwelling place of God's manifest presence, and the outer area known as the Holy Place. Once a year, the high priest was allowed to pass beyond the veil and enter into the Holy of Holies to atone for the sins of the people.
This Sunday (Palm Sunday), Christians move ever closer to one of the holiest celebrations of the faith – Easter. What has one man's horrific death and a torn veil have to do with us today? Everything! When Christ died on the cross, the tearing of the veil symbolized the removal of the veil of sin that previously separated us from God. Jesus' torn flesh was a physical representation of a spiritual truth: God's love for us is so great that He sent His Son to die to atone for the sins of all mankind enabling us to come beyond the veil and enter the Holy of Holies – into His manifest presence.
Jesus is our High Priest; His death and resurrection tore the veil that existed between life and death – letting us know that death is temporary. He invites us to come and to join Him in the newness of life and the promise of a future summed up by an empty tomb on Easter morning.
Amen and amen.

Mail Merge in LibreOffice

In this tutorial we take a look at using LibreOffice to perform a "mail merge". Mail merge allows you to take data you store in a spreadsheet or database, such as the names an addresses of your contacts, and integrate them into a text document. This process is used frequently to create mailing labels, or to personalize letters for mass mailings. I tried to make the topic a little more interesting by turning it into a game of Madlibs. Though the format is a little different, the process is the same.
Thanks again for watching!

The numbers are still painfully low, but, ever so slowly, women are rising from the ranks of corporate culture.
CNN reports women hold 10.8 percent of boardroom seats globally, an uptick from 9.8 percent in 2010 and 9.3 percent in 2009, according to a recent survey.
Also on a slow rise, but a rise nonetheless, is the number of businesses with at least one woman director: 60 percent, up from 58 percent last year, CNN reports. The network adds that the numbers are much better in Norway, where 36.8 percent of board seats are held by woman, than in Japan, where women make up a measly 1.1 percent of board members.
As for America, we're a tad above the world average—12.6 percent of directors are female, according to the network.
We know that story about the tortoise and the hare, but it sure would be nice to speed things up a little, don't you think?

New York State Education Department Commissioner John King is "prepared to take escalating action" to address problems within Rockland County's East Ramapo Central School District, a district whose elected board is currently composed solely of fervently Orthodox Jews.
The commissioner also wants to enact a Board of Regents' legislative proposal authorizing his department "to intervene in chronically underperforming districts."
Meanwhile, Assemblyman Ken Zebrowski, whose Rockland County district includes East Ramapo, is proposing a school redistricting that would "partition territory to create a new public school district that better represents public school enrollment" in order to "develop a long-term solution to the challenges that have plagued the district over the past several years, according to a press release issued by his office.
In response to a petition asking that the state appoint an oversight monitor to take charge of the district's financial and educational administration, King sent a letter noting that he shares the 4,994 petitioners' "concerns regarding the district's financial conditions and its effects on educational programming."
The majority of schoolchildren living within the boundaries of the East Ramapo Central School District attend yeshivas, rather than public schools. According to Power of Ten, a grass-roots advocacy group that organized the petition, 90 percent of the public school students are black or Latino, of whom 67 percent qualify for free or reduced school lunches.
In recent years, the district's board members, currently defendants a class-action lawsuit, have implemented dramatic budget cuts. They have also been accused of a wide range of misdeeds, including attempting to sell district property at below-market prices to Jewish institutions.
"Problems in the governance of East Ramapo are a substantial factor in the district's chronic under-performance and current fiscal crisis," states the petition to the commissioner, organized by Power of Ten, a grass-roots advocacy group.
"Unless you act now by appointing an oversight monitor, the crisis will deepen."

Rated 1 out of 5 by Annejax Disappointing product It took my husband and me an hour of sweating and cursing to put this litter box cover together. The latch on the front door was slightly off-center, making it impossible to line up the walls of the box and close the door. My husband wanted to return it, but I wasn't ready for the hassle of putting the whole thing back into a shipping box and hauling it to Fedex the week before Christmas. So now we have a slightly off-kilter wicker structure in our mud room. It does look better than a litter box, but not at the price we paid! January 2, 2014

Michelle Paterson: 'David Was Hurt. But Somewhere He Has This Steel Inside Him.'
Oh God, more oversharing.
Yesterday we urged Governor Paterson and his wife to maybe try and keep at least some of their cards to their chest, because while we respect their brutal honesty, we're just not sure it's the best for his political future. But again today we are greeted with more deep truths, this time from Michelle Paterson, who sat down with Post columnist Cindy Adams last week for lunch. First, she resurrected one of our favorite images, that of Paterson as Superman, the Man of Steel: "David was hurt," she said, regarding the moment he heard the White House wanted him to step out of next year's governor's race. "But somewhere he has this steel inside him. This nerve. This resilience. In our 17 years together, I've never seen him so he couldn't pull himself together. I don't know where that grit comes from, but I know he's always had it." Then, as Cindy explains, Michelle showed her own spine of steel:
This handsome lady talks softly but carries a big stick. "When this happened with Spitzer and the job suddenly fell to David, the first words out of his mouth were: 'I think I'll kill myself,' and I said to him: 'So then who would be governor?'"
Yeah, see, that is exactly the kind of honesty you don't need when trying to convince people that they should give you the job again.

This show had some really good points, and some not so great. First of all, it's a really nice venue. The theater itself is small and very comfortable, and seemed like any seat would probably be good. There was a nice lounge area outside with a small bar and refreshments. As far as the performance, we love "Hair" so it was fun to hear all our favorites. Several singers had outstanding voices, especially the actor who played Claude, and the actor who played the pregnant woman (can't remember her name.) Unfortunately, there was a lot of over-acting, and the direction didn't seem very professional, nor did the choreography. The orchestra could have been better also. On the whole we enjoyed the experience, since it's such a wonderful show, and brought back lots of memories. It did, however, make we want to hear the show recorded by actual professionals!

Very good production but quality of voices were uneven. Too much shrieking instead of singing especially in one of my favorite numbers...White Boys.

Fun to relive the late 60s with others from that era. The show was pretty good--not like on Broadway, but good for a local theater group.

Great production of a great show. Lots of memories, lots of familier songs, poignant acting.
This little community theatre puts on some terrific productions! And parking is easy, and there are a lot of nearby good restaurants

If there is one public wine tasting event that rivals San Francisco's yearly ZAP Zinfandel tasting for sheer size and chaos, it could only be the annual Chronicle Wine Competition Tasting. Every year the San Francisco Chronicle holds a wine competition, judged by 55 wine professionals, in which they award medals to their top choices from among over three thousand California wines. This competition has grown over the last 6 years to be the largest competitive tasting of American wines in the world.
The judges (who really have a tough job of it) hand out hundreds of medals and awards. Those awards are released to the public, and then about a month later, many of the award winning wines, plus a lot more are poured for the public in a four-hour event that takes over Fort Mason for a Saturday afternoon. There are usually cooking demonstrations and food booths, and various other diversions.
This is one event I typically don't go to, mostly because they don't have a trade component to the tasting. However, on a beautiful day in San Francisco for someone who wasn't focused on trying to taste as many wines as I usually do, it could probably be a good time.

Lisa Power Salon
Sarah Reilly
536 Fifth Ave. W.
601 Union St.
Suave and strikingly handsome, the single-named Ric is as close as we've ever come to Warren Beatty in Shampoo. He began by really getting to know our hair: How long did we take to style it in the morning; what products did we use? After layering the front and slightly tapering the ends, Ric let us admire our new, tousled style in one of Marco salon's ornately framed mirrors—it was soft, romantic, and just plain sexy.
Mode Organic Downtown
Chelsea Duke
1424 Fourth Ave.
We're used to stylists overruling our timid request for "just a trim," so we were surprised when Duke said she would keep our shoulder-skimming length intact. She assessed the situation from every angle before snipping frayed ends and creating long, nearly invisible layers that would give our style more oomph, as she explained. Our newly healthy, bouncy mane looked better than ever—and, we swear, even longer than before.
Set Salon
Sarah Theckston
2608 Third Ave.
We'd been hearing rave reviews of this trendy new Belltown salon, and found that the space's black-and-white wallpaper and exposed-brick walls didn't disappoint. We were immediately enamored with Theckston's upbeat attitude. She took one nonjudgmental glance at our shoulder-length hair and suggested adding rocker-ish layers. She began by slicing gradual layers that started above the ear and continued down to our shoulders, then thinned out the sides with a razor. We emerged with a swingy Joan Jett cut that we gave two thumbs up.

We've always been a fan of blunt haircuts—and blunt talk. But we weren't expecting Fellows to be quite so honest. "You have what I call a post collegiate haircut," she said. "It's very frizzy." Her shaping took over an hour because she flat-ironed each section before cutting it. But the results were astonishing: Our hair was still long, but now it had true style.

The Advanced Camera for Surveys, designed to be installed in 1999 during the third servicing mission of the HST, is a high performance, multi-spectral, axial bay camera.
The design provides three wide-band cameras plus coronagraphic capability. The cameras cover the spectral region from 115 nm to 170 nm and from 200 nm to 1000 nm. They are the very wide FOV (200 by 204 arc sec) WFC camera, the wide FOV (26 by 29 arc sec) HRC camera, the wide FOV (26 by 29 arc sec) SBC ultraviolet, and the coronagraph which uses the HRC CCD. Numerous filters are provided for each of the three cameras using only three filter wheels, two of which are shared by the WFC and HRC. The optical design uses heritage from STIS, a third generation HST instrument. To achieve full wavelength coverage the designs are all-reflective. The FOV of the two-mirror STIS design is extended for the WFC by use of a reflective Schmidt-like plate as a third mirror. The filters are placed in the corrected converging beam and are OPD-matched to maintain focus. Protected silver reflective coatings are used on the WFC mirrors to maximize throughput and minimize polarization sensitivity.
The paper will describe the optical design and compare predicted performance with measured performance. The use of error budgets during the design process will also be discussed.
Key Words: (< 5) aberration correction, extending field of view, optical system design
Brief Biography, Principal Author:
Robert Woodruff has 33 years of experience designing spaceborne optical systems on projects including Skylab, Nimbus, Apollo-Soyuz, Galileo, SIRTF, microgravity, Hubble Space Telescope and NGST. He is the principal designer of the Advanced Camera for Surveys, a third generation HST instrument, the HST Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph and the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph.

By the way, Grex is not an acronym, but is the Latin work for "flock".
Here is a pointer to Grex's website: http://www.cyberspace.org/.
If you have a computer and a modem, you can get online by configuring it to dial Grex at (734) 484-0512. Use 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit (8-N-1) when you set up your terminal communications software. Grex has several incoming telephone lines available for use, but busy signals should only occur at the busiest times. The early evening (around 8 PM) is usually the easiest time to reach Grex.
Creating an account should take about 10 or 15 minutes. Once you have your account, remember its name (called a loginid), because this is what you need to enter at the login prompt when you dial up next time. Remember your password, too. If you lose it you may not be able to regain access to your account.
On the questionnaire, you will be asked what editor and which shell you prefer to use. The "shell" is the program that prompts you for input. HVCN recommends that you select the "menu" shell, unless you are experienced in the use of other shells. The menu shell will show you a number of options available directly on Grex, including mail. The editor is used to modify text files. You may not ever need to do this, but unless you are familiar with a specific editor supported by Grex, HVCN recommends that you select "pico" which is the best choice for inexperienced users.
If you created an account with a loginid of "anyone", then your e-mail address is going to be email@example.com. You can tell your friends who have e-mail to send you messages at that address and they should reach your grex account from anywhere on the internet using that address. You can send a message to any e-mail address from your Grex account just as easily.
To go to HVCN, from Grex, type the command !hvcn at the command prompt. This option is not listed in the menu yet, so you have to remember it. This starts Lynx, and loads the HVCN main menu. Lynx works quite differently than the menu shell, so it takes a little getting used to.
The important things to know about lynx are that you can use the spacebar to move to the next page in a multipage document, and that the up and down arrows highlight the previous and the next hypertext link respectively. Once you have gone up or down to the link that you wish to follow, you use the right arrow key to follow it, and the left arrow key is used to return to the page you came from. There are many other commands that can be used in lynx. To learn about them, type a ? to get the lynx help screen, and then choose the down arrow once to select the "Keystroke commands" link, and then the right arrow key to see all of the keystroke commands.
One of the more useful commands is g, which allows you to specify a URL. These are strings like http://www.whitehouse.gov/ or often more simply, www.whitehouse.gov. If you have seen one of these URLs and made note of it, you can view it from lynx by typing g and then entering the URL at the prompt.
Feel free to explore these and other features of Grex. If you have any questions or problems with Grex services, you can send mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. If you cannot use mail, you can log in to Grex using the special ID "trouble" and describe your problem. In any event, describe your problem as completely as you can, and make sure you provide a way to respond (such as a local phone number) if your e-mail is not usable.
If you have problems with using HVCN services from Grex (or anywhere else) contact email@example.com.
Please send comments to email@example.com

Since at least the 1950s, the USGS has done a survey of water use in the U.S. The most recent one was recently released. The report includes some striking numbers and trends in use that might seem counter-intuitive, given that our population growth isn't slowing down at all. The Pacific Institute, a well-known California-based nonpartisan research institute that works to advance environmental protection, economic development, and social equity reviewed the data and has issued their commentary on the report.
A more straight forward read for the "average joe", in my opinion, was posted by Gretchen Weber on the website of KQED, the San Francisco PBS station. The article starts:
Despite the addition of 81 million people over the period, Americans were using less water in 2005 than they were in 1975.
And goes on:
The per-capita decrease of 30% since 2000, down to 1383 gallons per person per day, is a level not seen since the 1950s. Of course this doesn't mean that each person in the United States is using more than a thousand gallons per day at home–that number is somewhere between 54 (if you live in Maine) and 190 (if you live in Nevada). The USGS number is derived from dividing total water withdrawals by total population. In 2005, the total withdrawal was 410 billion gallons per day (5% less than in the peak year, 1980) and the total population was approximately 310 million.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Panama vs. Cuba 2013 Copa Oro (en vivo live score results below) prompts a Georgia Gold Cup futbol match today. This Panama vs. Cuba soccer game today July 20, 2013 kicks off before a packed crowd in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.
Panama vs. Cuba (start time 12:30 pm PST) is a one-game match for the Gold Cup quarterfinals. Panama has won two of three Copa Oro games so far. Cuba, however, has lost two of three games, officials remind news.
Cuba knows coming into this game that Panama is the projected winner. But Cuba has had some great moments in soccer, just not this year. The team won four consecutive matches in fall of last year. It hasn't played many games this year, however. Cuba's first game was its Copa opener against Costa Rica, which it lost in a 3-0 final score. It lost its next game, against USA, 4-0. But Cuba know how to score. It delivered four goals against Belize in its win just days ago.
Panama, however, has been inconsistent. It lost two World Cup qualities in June but then won two Copa Oro games just weeks later. Panama finished first in Group A. The team had two wins, one draw and seven points. Cuba qualified to today's game with a wild card slot. The team finished in third place in Group C with one win, no draws and two losses, producing three pints. For live score results today, click HERE.

No. 12 Lacrosse Survives Scare, Downs Stony Brook, 8-7
March 2, 2002
STONY BROOK, N.Y. - Senior Dan Paccione (Amityville, N.Y.) scored with 52 seconds left in the fourth quarter, giving the 12th-ranked Massachusetts lacrosse team an 8-7 road win over Stony Brook this afternoon.
Steve Conlon gave the Seawolves a 1-0 lead at the 14:02 mark of the first quarter. Freshman Gene Tundo's (Orchard Park, N.Y.) goal at the 13:41 mark of the second quarter tied the game, but Stony Brook scored two unanswered goals to close out the quarter, and led 3-1 at the break.
Sophomore Jeff Zywicki (Nepean, Ontario) scored the first of his two goals on the day 3:15 into the third quarter cutting the lead to one. Four minutes later, senior Don Little (Clifton Park, N.Y.) tied the game off a feed from senior Marc Morley (Canton, N.Y.). The Minutemen then scored three goals in the final 1:57 of the quarter to build a 6-3 lead. Senior Dusty Smith (West Chester, Pa.), Morley and Zywicki each scored.
Down 6-3 starting the fourth quarter, the Seawolves scored the first four goals to take a brief 7-6 lead at the 6:06 mark. Just 25 seconds after Jon Tompkins gave Stony Brook the lead, junior Kevin Leveille (Delmar, N.Y.) scored the equalizer for Massachusetts. Morley was credited with his third assist of the day on the tally.
The game remained tied until Paccione scored the game-winner with 52 seconds remaining in regulation. The unassisted goal was his fourth of the season. UMass senior goaltender Rob Schneider (Huntington Station, N.Y.) made a big save on Stony Brook's Kevin Pall in the closing seconds to preserve the win. Schneider finished the day with 14 saves, while Steve Armsworthy and Phil Reed combined to make 10 saves for Stony Brook.
The Minutemen converted on one out of three extra-man opportunities, while the Seawolves were successful two out of five times.
With the win, Massachusetts improves to 1-1 overall, while Stony Brook falls to 0-1 this season.
The Minutemen travel to Annapolis, Md. on Saturday, March 9, for an ECAC showdown with No. 14 Navy. Game-time is set for 12:00 p.m.

Interracial marriage has historically been a contentious issue in many parts of the world and, while legal constraints may have been lifted, it continues to be controversial in many societies.
China is warning Britain in no uncertain terms not to stick its nose into Hong Kong affairs, despite the fact that the two countries co-signed the Sino-British Joint Declaration in 1984 and registered it with the United Nations as an international treaty whose terms will last until 2047.
As expected, the Chinese government on Sunday adopted a tough stance on Hong Kong, with the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) issuing a decision that designates a Beijing-controlled body as a "broadly representative" committee that will nominate candidates for chief executive in one-person, one-vote elections in 2017.
The 110th anniversary of the birth of Deng Xiaoping on Aug. 22 has brought forth a flood of articles and speeches on the late reformer, including a 48-part miniseries on his launching of economic reforms, reversing Chairman Mao Zedong's focus on class struggle and political campaigns.
Spurred by China's economic success in Africa, the United States this month held its first-ever summit with the leaders of the continent. Presidents and prime ministers streamed into Washington for three days of discussions with President Barack Obama and participation in the first U.S.-Africa business forum with business leaders.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF), in its 2014 assessment of the Chinese economy, has advised the country to adopt lower growth targets and to put more emphasis on enacting reforms made public last November. Slower growth now will lead to higher, sustainable growth later, it said, but if reforms are not put in place, GDP growth may well plummet.
In a landmark judgment, a U.S. appellate court has ruled as unconstitutional a decision by an American intergovernmental agency and by President Barack Obama to refuse to allow a Chinese-owned company to buy wind farms in Oregon.
Almost exactly 70 years after the signing of the Bretton Woods agreement, five major emerging economies, known collectively as BRICS, have created new institutions that would initially supplement and could eventually replace the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, which have failed to respond adequately to the needs of a changing world.
The political track of the United States-China strategic and economic dialogue held last week in Beijing was beset by bickering, such as that over China's maritime disputes and charges and countercharges over cyber espionage, with little of substance achieved. Things were different, however, on the economic track, where there was movement on negotiating a high-quality bilateral investment treaty and reduction of government intervention in the value of the Chinese currency.
While China seems to be an increasingly confident actor on the world stage, within the country, there is a serious lack of confidence in the government, with those who have thrived within the system eager to leave the country, taking their money with them.

Filming begins next month in Michigan on Zack Snyder's ambitious "Man of Steel" sequel, and now some new details about the production's shoot have come to light.
The Inquisitr reports that there will be a combination of soundstage work at the Michigan Motion Pictures Studios in Pontiac, as well as exterior work being done in and around the Detroit streets.
Michigan Film Office PR Manager Michelle Grinnell reportedly says that around $131 million worth of projected in-state expenditures has been announced, helped by an incentive of $35 million. It's also expected to bring around 6,000 jobs to the economy of the struggling city.
That of course is just in-state expenditure, NOT the film's final production budget which is rumored to be over $200 million. It's the biggest in-state expenditure of a film to date, beating previous record holder "Oz: The Great And Powerful" which filmed there in 2011.

Actress Dee Wallace recently spoke with "Breakthrough Entertainment" and Phoenix Movie Examiner about her upcoming appearance during a special screening of the classic horror flick "Cujo" at the 14th Annual Phoenix Film Festival.
In "Cujo," which will screen 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 4 at Harkins Scottsdale 101, a friendly St. Bernard contracts rabies and conducts a reign of terror on a small American town.
Listen to "Breakthrough Entertainment" and Phoenix Movie Examiner's full interview with Wallace by clicking on the image above this article. The following is an excerpt from the interview in which the actress discusses what she learned from her character - Donna Trenton.
"I didn't have children at the time and I look back and think I would give myself up for my kid like that. Now that I am a mother, I understand how you would die for your kid; you would face death in order to save your child. Of course, I didn't really know that at the time but I knew that through Donna. For me, that is what the entire thing was about. No matter what you are in fear of - even death - you will conquer that fear in order to take care of your kid.
"I think that ['Cujo'] is a good film. It is a visceral fear that everybody has that something good - and even the goodness within ourselves - can be affected by something outside of ourselves; that we can lose control and evil takes over. I think that that is a really common fear with everybody and that is what Cujo represents. He is this beautiful, sweet dog who was attacked by a bat and loses his consciousness to evil.
"I think that my job as an actor is to cross that line and taking at least part of me into believing that this is really happening. The more real that it is for me, the more real that it is for my audience. But I will tell you that even knowing that those dogs were trained to go after toys, when they came at me to attack and play that part of their scene, it wasn't very hard to get into that fear. Those St. Bernards are huge dogs and when they are 5 inches from your face and are slobbering and barking ... it is pretty easy to cross that line." - Dee Wallace

FireFall TOG Army discussion thread.
Firstly, nothing I will post here is in breach of the NDA for FireFall beta testers. Everything comes from their public forums, where discussion is welcomed from people who haven't yet gained an invite and you can read this stuff even joined the FireFall community. Please bare the NDA in mind while it persists, if you're posting here as a tester, no spoilers.
Now, Mesar was saying in the Tribes Ascend forum about the possibility of a TOG division for firefall, an idea I 100% support already, without even having played the game. It certainly seems, from what I've read, that the game lends itself to guildy, teamy, army-y kinds of organisations very well indeed.
It appears from
http://www.firefallthegame.com/commu...3/]this thread
that there are already groups on various servers called armies which players can (and probably should) join. These servers and the armies that populate them are also apparently location specific. Right now it looks like Asia is the nearest thing to an Oceanic server, though US and European servers are catered to as you'd expect. I also get the feeling the more interest and players we could field from Australia, the faster we'd see a server rolled out here. (no, there's no provision for private servers, it's an team based, persistent environment for PvE, instance based PvP, MMO/RTS/FPS. It'd be like asking for a private guildwars server. The best we can hope for is Red 5 eventually puts a server here.)
I figured we needed to start giving this topic of an Army, or which army to get involved in, some serious thought. For myself, obviously I want team up with my mates from TOG, considering this is a team and class oriented FPS with a huge amount of emphasis on co-operative play. However, without many clan mates already in the game, that means we'll be starting from scratch. How best to do that? Do we wade in as brothers in arms and just see how we fare, or hook up with other groups initially, get established, gain some experience and knowledge and then remember where our loyalties lie and build a TOG army later?
thoughts? comments? criticisms?

Gruber Wagon Works
Wagon wheels were constructed in the bench shop, and wooden parts of the wagon were made from patterns in the wood shop. Wheels were "tired" and wagons were "ironed" and assembled in the blacksmith shop. The distinctive striping and scrollwork were applied by hand in the paint shop.
During the winter of 1976-77, the Gruber Wagon Works was moved by the Army Corps of Engineers from its original location near Mt. Pleasant. In 1978, the Gruber Wagon Works was designated as a National Historical Landmark by the United States Government, commemorating its historic significance as an industry from a bygone era of American craftsman.
Two books "The Gruber Wagon Works: The Place Where Time Stood Still" and "Wagon Making in the United States During the Late 19th through Mid 20th Centuries" are now available for purchase.

Spotlight On...
In 1996, the year of the X-Files rip-offs, the powers that be have even gone so far as to introduce a series specializing in aquatic weirdness. Bay-watch Nights now features a character who works for a top-secret organization investigating paranormal phenomena: deep-sea monsters, genetic mutations, David Hasselhoff's career. Should the program prove as successful as Baywatch itself, it could put ratings pressure on Gillian Anderson to don a skimpy bikini and on David Duchovny to resort to one of those thong-like affairs so popular on the French Riviera.
Still, there's one thing that's a bit puzzling about all of these rip-offs: If doctor shows inspire other doctor shows, and the success of Touched by an Angel results in such knockoffs as Promised Land and Early Edition, why haven't there been any clones of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman? This is a series that has a charismatic star, always gets good ratings and is popular with the kind of audience—mature viewers—that CBS has been trying to lure back after its disastrous flirtation with hipness last year (Central Park West).
Why, then, haven't we seen Dr. Quinn, Chiropractic Woman, or Dr. Quinn, Sports Medicine Woman? Why hasn't CBS extended its franchise by placing Jane Seymour in a hospital setting and calling the series Dodge City Hope? And if the network is so obsessed with younger viewers, why hasn't it green-lighted a hybrid series entitled Dr. Quinn and Her Medicine Friends? Come to think of it, couldn't CBS have saved itself a lot of trouble last year by casting Seymour in a series entitled Central Park Wild West? Just asking.
ABC (Sunday, Oct. 20, 9 p.m. ET)
Yasmine Bleeth (Baywatch) plays a perky, idealistic young woman who tries to save a heroin-addicted prostitute by befriending her and booking her as a guest on the sleazy TV talk show where she works as a producer. Bleeth, as befits someone who has spent too much time in the sun, takes an awfully long time to realize that the people at The Howard Grant Show are not very nice and that her plan is not going to work. Especially unappealing is her boss Sadie, played with malevolent glee by Veronica Hamel. This is not a great production. Real-life talk show hosts are a million times more repulsive than Howard Grant (played by Newhart's bland Peter Scolari). But anything that network TV aims in the general direction of Geraldo Rivera, Richard Bey and the rest of the Visigoths is to be applauded.
Fox (Premieres Friday, Oct. 25, 9 p.m. ET)
a serial killer. Yes, this is the same basic theme as Profiler, but that series lacks Millennium's shock value and foreboding atmosphere. With its creepy soundtrack, terrifying visuals and ingenious plot twists, Millennium is far and away the best new show of the year.
>Diana Kilmury
DIANA KILMURY FIGURED THAT THE goons who called to say they were going to murder her were just bluffing. "I decided people who really are going to kill you won't phone you to tell," she says.
That was in 1981, after the ex-truck driver, now 49, told International Brotherhood of Teamsters convention delegates to dump Mob-controlled officials and institute democratic elections. Her crusade is the subject of Mother Trucker: The Diana Kilmury Story, starring Barbara Williams and premiering Oct. 22 on TNT.
Raised in Vancouver, B.C., Kilmury was 24 and a divorced mother of three when she started working for a small trucking firm. Three years later she joined the Teamsters. "They've regretted that ever since," she says.
Infuriated by the union's 1977 ouster of dissident British Columbian union rep Jack Vlahovic, Kilmury helped him raise $40,000 for legal fees. She then hooked up with the Teamsters for a Democratic Union, barnstorming members to incite change. "These people had pension money stolen, three presidents indicted—it's not like you had to tell anyone the union was corrupt," she says. "We just needed to tell them, 'You have the right to vote.' " Kilmury helped them achieve that right in 1989. She was elected a Teamsters vice president and sworn in in February 1992.
"Intimidation only works if you believe in it," says Kilmury of the resistance she met. This time, "the people with the white hats won."

Synergising your Support
Picking a support champion that synergises with your ADC is one of the most important things you can do in team select.
A great team isn't just a composition of five competent players controlling their five best champions; a great team is one that selects champions that work together, champions that synergise out in Summoners Rift through abilities that can work in harmony to provide results greater than the sum of their individual parts. This week's article, my first for News of Legends, is about why the champion you pick to Support with is incredibly important for the outcome of your game. This piece is part of my new series of articles aimed at the relative beginner to ranked play, for those hoping to climb up the ELO ladder and maximise their League potential. When Xpecial is choosing his champion he isn't going to simply pick the one he's most competent with, but the one that works best to counter the enemy team and the one that works best with the rest of his team.
Why is synergy important?
Have you ever been in the situation where your team lacks the right initiation? Or perhaps once you've initiated you lack crowd control? Or maybe you simply don't have enough sustain in fights? Or even that you've got no one peeling and your Carries are getting burst down leaving you to die in a horrible mess each team fight. This is caused by poor team synergy. In soloqueue it's perfectly understandable that you can't be responsible for your whole team and even if you're first pick it puts you on the back foot for trying to synergise, as you don't know what your team is going to pick or who you're playing against. At this point discussing team composition in champion select is your best bet, along with choosing a champion you're most competent with. However, in premade 5s or being last pick in soloqueue you are more than able to pick a champion to synergise and avoid the awful situations where your team just doesn't gel because you're missing one key component.
Synergy is the concept of using two or more Champions abilities to provide an added bonus in combat, a key example being Leona's Zenith Blade and Corki's Valkyrie. Both Champions can go from nowhere to the midst of the battle in less than a second. Using Leona's Zenith Blade then Shield of Daybreak (E -> Q, or Q -> E if you're confident you can land the E so not to put Q on cooldown without hitting anything) to dash in and stun the enemy ADC or Support allowing Corki to Valkyrie in and clean up for kills works incredibly well in bottom lane. The same is true for Leona and Tristana. Every ADC and every support will have a champion that they synergise best with and that will give you the best chances of success. Finding this bottom lane combination is one key in a series to unlocking the door to dominating your bottom lane.
So how do I synergise with my team?
Finding a support that synergises with your ADC and your team is something that after time you will come to know. You will come to know what support best counters the enemy kill lane, or which support you need to pick to help your team in the late game the most, but in the meantime there are several utilities available to anyone learning the support role. While it is not possible for me to cover every single Support and ADC I can hopefully point readers in the right direction for learning how to do this.
On the very basic level this page developed by Reddit user Nebu based on information provided by another Reddit user Spellsy allows a Support player to input allied ADC, as well as enemy ADC and Support which returns the optimal Support you should play, as well as providing some reasoning behind it. This is a great little web app for those learning the basics of Support Synergy however some champions like Teemo, often seen in the ADC role at lower elo brackets, are not featured, as well as uncommon but not unseen support champions like Zilean and Fiddlesticks. It is also very important to remember to take anything with a pinch of salt until you learn from experience.
ChampionSelect is also an incredibly useful tool to get the basics of counter picking and team synergy, listing full counters for ADCs as well as the Supports they work best with.
To get a more detailed view on what Supports work best with certain ADCs we need to look at the professional levels, and what TSM bottom lane partners Xpecial and Chaox are doing. In this video by Xpecial he explains in detail during the loading screen why one would pick Janna to counter the very aggressive support of Leona on the opposite team. Janna is chosen due to her ability to use Howling Gale (Q, commonly known as Tornado) to knock back Leona after the engage effectively resetting the fight. While Leona and hopefully the enemy ADC are knocked up and unable to attack, his Ashe ADC will have 0.8-1.1 seconds (dependant on level) to free attack the enemy if all abilities are timed correctly. Xpecial provides a great example of why team synergy is important. It is also worth noting that Janna's other abilities work well to counter Leona. Her Eye of the Storm (E) allows her to protect the ADC when Leona uses Zenith Blade as well as using Zephyr to slow the enemy ADC lowering the amount of time it has to attack your team. All of these factors would have been taken into consideration during champion select, and is something that any player aspiring to climb ELO must also think about.
To gain a clearer understanding of why Xpecial chose Janna to counter Leona and to better understand why who you pick is important, we can look at what the situation would have been like with a Support who does not synergise well in that team composition, most notably, Sona. If we take the team composition and situation as exactly the same but replace Janna with Sona, and have Leona use Zenith Blade on to either the ADC Ashe or Support Sona the situation is completely different. In that situation Sona's only truly effective form of defense would have been to use her Ultimate ability Crescendo, which with a cooldown of 140/120/100 seconds compared to Zenith Blade's 13/12/11/10/9 cooldown puts her on the back foot for a large chunk of the game. This would allow Leona to re-engage the fight very quickly, stun locking either the ADC or Support allowing Vayne to Tumble and Condemn one champion very easily, most likely securing a kill. Sona would have very little in the form of defense against Leona's stun, as her Song of Celerity or Aria of Perseverance with a stacked Passive wouldn't be enough to help her escape or heal through the damage respectively. In a situation with Leona and Vayne fighting a Sona and Ashe, the odds are ever in the favour of Leona and Vayne, for the reasons explained above.
Learning what support to pick to synergise best with your team, or even what champion to pick if you don't play support is something all players need to learn. It will come with time and it will come with practice. It will also be hard, as you may have to reevaluate how to tackle champion select, and you may often have to move away from the champions you are most comfortable with and move towards ones that are better for your team. In the long run however, you will become a far better player and your team will thank you for it.

A Hinckley sculptor and his wife are buying the empty Methodist Church and plan to open a museum and entertainment center in Medina featuring memorabilia from Hollywood's many Christmas films.
Mark and Dana Klaus — yes, that's their last name — along with officials of the city, Main Street Medina and the Medina Chamber of Commerce, are planning to unveil plans for the "Holly"wood Christmas Movieland at 12:30 p.m. Friday at the former church, 260 S. Court St.
The building — a block south of Public Square — has been vacant since April 2012 when Medina United Methodist Church moved to its new home at 4747 Foote Road in Medina Township.
Mark Klaus could not be reached for comment Tuesday and officials are keeping mum on the project until Friday's news conference.
Matt Wiederhold, executive director of Main Street Medina, the nonprofit dedicated to promoting the city's downtown, confirmed the Klauses were buying the building but provided few details.
He said there will be a "soft opening" with a preview of the attraction at the Medina International Festival on Aug. 24, with a grand opening Nov. 22 to coincide with the city's Candlelight Walk.
Mayor Dennis Hanwell also declined to discuss specifics.
"What they're doing is trying to build a little anticipation," he said. "I don't want to give away the surprise."
But considerable information about the project can be found at the Klauses' website, www.christmasmovieland.com, and on their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/HollywoodChristmasMovieland.
The website states: "Mark and Dana Klaus have a permanent location for 'Holly'wood Christmas Movieland in Medina, Ohio. 31,000 square feet of attractions!"
The Klaus family had opened a temporary Christmas Movieland museum in Brecksville in 2008. The museum featured hundreds of Christmas movie photos, props including the sleigh and reindeer from the opening scene of "Miracle on 34th Street," the Turbo Man costume from "Jingle All the Way," and props and costumes from "The Santa Clause" and "Elf," according to a video featured on the website.
The Klauses' Facebook page promises the new year-round center in Medina will be "America's largest Christmas indoor walk-thru, entertainment attraction."
Among the features will be the Klauses' collection of Hollywood Christmas movie props and costumes, along with an "I Had That" toy display and Christmas window displays from New York City's Saks Fifth Avenue, Lord & Taylor, Bloomingdales and Macy's.
Klaus brought Cousin Eddie's dilapidated recreation vehicle from "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" to the Medina Fourth of July parade and the Brunswick Summer Celebration parade Sunday to promote the opening.

Another Homicide

Have you ever been affected by the word diet and everything associated with it? You want to lose weight since the summer season is approaching but you haven't been able to stick to the plan in the past and you feel discouraged this time around? The word diet has become taboo. People associate restrictions, deprivation, unhappiness and suffering with this word.
Diet alone will not help you lose weight. What's the ultimate goal? Why do we want to lose weight? Isn't the ultimate goal in any endeavor to feel a certain way?
This is why putting yourself on a "diet" won't help you lose weight. There are other factors to consider when wanting to lose weight.
These are called Primary Foods and they play a crucial role in your health and happiness: relationships, career, spirituality and health.
Step 1- Ditch the diet lingo.
Step 2- Become aware of the foods you are eating and slowly incorporate nutrient dense foods. This means limiting and eventually getting rid of the bad- processed foods, carbonated drinks, refined sugar, artificial sweeteners and ingredients.
Step 3- Find your flow in exercise. Figure out what works for you. There's no need to hop on the bandwagon of the fitness or diet trend. What works for one person won't work for someone else. We need to get to know our bodies.
For example, if our jobs or home lives cause us stress, going to the gym and pushing ourselves may not be the best route to take. The point is to balance it all out. If we're already in a state of stress, we need more easing exercises like yoga, taking walks, swimming and biking.
Step 4: Become aware of your relationships especially the one you have with yourself. Are you taking care of yourself first? How are your other relationships? A toxic relationship can be putting a damper on all other aspects of your life. Evaluate and take steps to mend anything that needs more love and support.
Step 5: Do you have a spiritual practice such as meditation? We should just all be aware that we are part of a bigger purpose and we all have the opportunity to change ourselves and the world we live in with each passing moment.
Step 6: Evaluate your career. Are you happy? Do you want more? Are you doing what you love? If not, how can you make some changes that will get you back on track so you can love the work you do?
Step 7: Self care. If you're not taking care of yourself, you're not the only one who will suffer. Listen to your body. Rest when you need to and don't feel bad about it. Nothing in your life will be able to flourish and shine if you don't nurture and take care of yourself daily.
Step 8: Creativity and fun- never lose your kid like sense of wonder. Don't take life so seriously. Do something you love every single day and make it a priority. Explore the world around you and keep an open mind. Never stop learning and never stop growing.

"Where do we come from? How did the universe begin? Why is the universe the way it is? How will it end?
"All my life, I have been fascinated by the big questions that face us, and have tried to find scientific answers to them. If, like me, you have looked at the stars, and tried to make sense of what you see, you too have started to wonder what makes the universe exist. The questions are clear, and deceptively simple. But the answers have always seemed well beyond our reach. Until now.
"The ideas which had grown over two thousand years of observation have had to be radically revised. In less than a hundred years, we have found a new way to think of ourselves. From sitting at the center of the universe, we now find ourselves orbiting an average-sized sun, which is just one of millions of stars in our own Milky Way galaxy. And our galaxy itself is just one of billions of galaxies, in a universe that is infinite and expanding. But this is far from the end of a long history of inquiry. Huge questions remain to be answered, before we can hope to have a complete picture of the universe we live in.
"I want you to share my excitement at the discoveries, past and present, which have revolutionized the way we think. From the Big Bang to black holes, from dark matter to a possible Big Crunch, our image of the universe today is full of strange sounding ideas, and remarkable truths. The story of how we arrived at this picture is the story of learning to understand what we see."

World's Largest Aquarium
User Rating:
/ 10
The Georgia Aquarium, located in Atlanta, Georgia at Pemberton Place, is billed as the "world's largest aquarium" with more than 8.1 million US gallons (31,000 m³) of marine and fresh water housing more than 100,000 animals of 500 different species. The aquarium's notable specimens include four young whale sharks, including Alice and Trixie, two beluga whales named Beethoven and Maris and two manta rays Nandi and Tallulah.
Funded mostly by a $250 million donation from Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus, the aquarium was built on a 20 acre (81,000 m²) site north of Centennial Olympic Park in downtown Atlanta. Marcus credited his 60th birthday dinner at the Monterey Bay Aquarium in 1990 as among the inspirations behind his desire to build an aquarium in Atlanta.

Horst Glasker Transforms Drab Wind Turbines Into Inspiring Works of Art
User Rating:
/ 9
The use of wind power is increasing worldwide. Despite their incredible production of renewable energy, windmills have often been viewed as a bit of an eyesore along an otherwise untouched landscape. With his latest project, Aero Art, German artist Horst Glasker had decided to not just acknowledge the windmills environmental contribution but celebrate it by painting the ho-hum white turbines fantastical colors and patterns that are impossible to ignore.
Most wind turbines are traditionally painted white, light blue, or green to fade into the surrounding landscape and sky. Glasker took issue with the overlooking of such a powerful source of energy and began painting them brilliant day-glo colors. This superficial makeover is aimed to encourage people to not only take a second look and enjoy their local wind turbines but also begin to appreciate what they do for the environment.
Famous for his prolific output of dynamic and colorful wallpaper and and carpeting pieces, Glasker is considered the founder of the Pattern Art movement. His ornamentations can be seen all over Germany in small, large, and now green scale!

2008 Research Summary
Eigentaste 5.0: Constant-Time Adaptability in a Recommender System Using Item Clustering
View Current Project Information
Tavi Nathanson, Ephrat Bitton and Ken Goldberg
Our goal is to create a highly adaptive collaborative filtering system that runs in constant online time.
Recommender systems strive to recommend items that users will appreciate and rate highly, often presenting items in order of highest predicted ratings first. Our current research consists of the development of Eigentaste 5.0, a constant-time recommender system that dynamically adapts the order that items are recommended by integrating user clustering with item clustering. This extends our Eigentaste 2.0 algorithm, which uses principal component analysis to cluster users offline. In preliminary experiments we backtested Eigentaste 5.0 on data collected from Jester (http://eigentaste.berkeley.edu), our online joke recommender system. Results suggest that it will perform better than Eigentaste 2.0. The new algorithm also uses item clusters to address the cold-start problem for introducing new items.
We are seeking a more robust method for determining similarity between items when data is very sparse. We will also be experimenting with generalizing Eigentaste 5.0 in order to introduce more diversity among recommendations and to give users more control over how much item similarity they desire.
Figure 1: Jester: The Online Joke Recommender
Figure 2: Items are recommended to a user from his top-rated item cluster in the order determined by the aggregate item rankings of users from the same user cluster.
Figure 3: Average difference (across 7,000 users) between actual ratings for Eigentaste 5.0 and 2.0 for the i-th recommended item

Brandi Glanville just can't understand why Lisa Vanderpump keeps allegedly putting her around Scheana Marie.
Since Scheana was one of Eddie Cibrian's mistresses (their relationship began in 2006), seeing her is a reminder of what Brandi went through years ago. So, when she sees Scheana at certain events which have been held by Lisa, she feels as if it is a blatant attack.
"I truly just want to have an honest conversation with her," Brandi wrote in her Bravo blog, according to a March 13 report on Reality Tea. "As we all know I am not on Vanderpump Rules. I have repeatedly asked Lisa to not bring Scheana around me anymore. She promised she wouldn't — but she did and without even a warning."
For weeks now, both Lisa and Scheana Marie have gone public, insisting that Lisa was never aware of Scheana's past with Eddie, but Brandi is convinced of otherwise.
Also in her blog, Brandi pointed out that Scheana had never even worked at SUR until the night of their "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" finale party. Prior to that, she worked only at Villa Blanca, another Lisa-owned restaurant.
"Why was she at SUR? Lisa is incredibly close to all of her employees, as you see on her show. How on earth did she not know about Scheana and Edddie?" Brandi asked. "Why the f**k was Scheana at SUR that night? Also if Lisa didn't know why would she constantly ask me to interact with this woman that reminded me of the most horrific time in my life. Does Lisa care about me, or am I just part of Vanderpump Rules?"
Brandi continues to claim that Lisa has used her for "Vanderpump Rules," but the fact of the matter is that, as Brandi said, she is not on the show, so how is that she feels that she is owed credit for the series? It's beyond far-fetched. "Vanderpump Rules" is doing even better than "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" at this point, so if Brandi is popular that she could allegedly make "Vanderpump Rules" a success, why hasn't she made her own show even more of a success?

AN: A drabble about one of the most important person in Connor's life: You
Thank you.
I do not know who you are, or what your motivations may be, but though you have not been in my life at all times, you were always there when it really mattered.
I wondered sometimes who -or what- you are. For a while I thought that perhaps you were the spirit of my mother, and I would remember her last promise to me: that she would be by my side, always and forever; that I would never be alone. But though I feel her spirit watching over me, you are not her. I have felt your guiding presence even before my mother's death. I felt your helplessness echoed in mine as we desperately pulled at the wood that pinned her down.
Perhaps you were the spirit shown to me by our people's artifact. Juno, she called herself? But your presence does not feel like hers. Hers was cold, distant and alien. She did not care for me or my fellow men. Your touch was…different. For one reason or another, I mattered to you.
When William Johnson spoke his final words to us, I felt your remorse that a man of such noble intentions would go so far. I felt your fear for me when the noose tightened about my neck. I felt your rage when we learned that Washington, whom I had held in such high esteem, had been the one who had murdered my people.
When Kanen'tó:kon, my dear friend, had me by the edge of a blade, I could hear your heart crying No! This isn't right! This isn't fair! This isn't just! even as you helped me do what I must and ended his life.
No, you could not be Juno, who so coldly dismissed me upon the completion of the task she gave me. She did not feel for the loss of men. You felt too…human to be her.
You were so close, as if you were here with me but always just out of sight. Though you seemed to speak sometimes I could never hear your words. Like there was something between us, so impenetrable I could never even begin to try and break through.
Sometimes you would leave me for years at a time, and I would wonder: were you real? Did I simply imagine that gentle guiding force? And though I had little trouble making it on my own, there was something reassuring about your presence that I missed. You were so sure, lacking any fear or doubt of the unknown future that lay before me. It was hard not to admire such conviction.
And always you came back, when I needed your steadying presence most. I stopped doubting your existence. I had faith that you would return, in a time when I had faith in little else.
In these past months, I feel like I had lost everything. I failed to protect my people, and this land remains as corrupt and full of false promises as it had been before. Achilles, who had always been a pillar of strength for me–sometimes unwilling, but always there-, is gone from this world now. My father, whom I thought we could have worked together to create a better world, was dead by my own hands. Everything that I had worked for was perverted, discarded, and forgotten. I have never felt such emptiness.
But you remind me of all that I had gained in my quest. Just as you guided my blade into the hearts of my enemies, you also stood beside me in the warmer, gentler aspects of my life. I met many extraordinary people. Stephane, Deborah, Faulkner, Norris, Lafayette, Mason, Duncun, Myriam- I cannot even begin to list them all. And so as I have lost, I have also gained many friends. All loyal, brave, and admirable people. But above them all, I have you.
When the entire world seemed to turn against me, you stood by my side and defied all odds. When I was beaten, broken, you would not let me give up. When I had thought that maybe all was lost, you forced me to keep moving forward.
Thank you, for being there for me when no one else was.

It is no secret that I love to eat out.
But in the post-holiday bills landscape that is midwinter, it is a good time to hibernate, nest and do more cooking.
It's also a great time to test your culinary chops by trying to make a favorite restaurant dish at home, perhaps more than once 'til you get it right.
With this in mind, I tried to make two favorites – fresh gnocchi with marinara and Kung Po Chicken – this month. It was my first time trying to make either.
I made my gnocchi not with potatoes but with fresh ricotta, which is faster and does not require as much handling to shape the pasta. It results in a lighter tasting dish, but much less uniform. I like the rustic result, as opposed to carefully shaped balls of dough.
This is the recipe I worked with (topped with my husband's homemade sauce) :
I have to say, it was super easy for a dish I would not hesitate to serve for company.
Meanwhile, I'm a fan of good Kung Po takeout, so I decided to spend part of my personal Polar Vortex trying to make my own.
Asian food never comes out exactly right for me the first time 'round. I need to test different recipes to find the best one as a starting point upon which to improvise.
I kept it simple first time out with a Food Network recipe. It was tasty but not nearly as good as what I might get from, say, Han Dynasty. I am sure I'd have to make it many more times to come even close. But it was fun to try.
What about you? Are you spending any of this deep-freeze in the kitchen, warding off Cabin Fever with some culinary adventures of your own?

In addition to eliminating an intermittent problem with the old PCU, the new unit also is capable of handling the extra 20 percent of power output being generated from Hubble's newly installed set of solar panels attached during back-to-back space walks Monday and Tuesday. Controllers at the Space Telescope Operations Control Center in Greenbelt, MD, powered Hubble down at 3:37 a.m. Wednesday for the first time since its launch in 1990.
Mission Specialist Nancy Currie operated the shuttle's robotic arm throughout the space walk, moving Grunsfeld and Linnehan to and from various worksites on the telescope and in Columbia's payload bay. Grunsfeld later told Mission Control that, "Nancy is my hero" for her work today.
Today's space walk started two hours late due to a water leak in Grunsfeld's spacesuit. After swapping the upper portion of his suit the space walk began at 2:28 a.m. Linnehan, working from the shuttle's robotic arm, began by removing 30 of the 36 connectors on the old PCU. He was then maneuvered by Currie to the shuttle's payload bay where he switched places with Grunsfeld in order to prepare the new PCU for installation. At 4:55 a.m. Grunsfeld, now working from the robotic arm, unhooked the remaining six PCU connectors, eased the old PCU out of the telescope and carried it to the shuttle's payload bay for return to Earth. Grunsfeld installed the new unit at 5:53 a.m. The connectors were mated to the new PCU by 7:19 a.m. Shortly thereafter, the new PCU passed its aliveness test at 8:02 a.m. and all functional tests were completed at 12:18 p.m.
Inside Columbia, the flight's other space walking team, Jim Newman and Mike Massimino looked toward the fourth space walk set to begin tomorrow at about 2:30 a.m. CST to replace the last of Hubble's original science instruments - the Faint Object Camera - with the Advanced Camera for Surveys.
The crew is scheduled to awaken at 9:52 p.m. CST Wednesday.

My sons each have one. Mossberg in one case, Savage in the other. They both have excellent accuracy, according to the offspring.
I shot the Savage at the Trigger Time indoor 100 yard range about a month ago and I thought it was pretty sweet, but I was not used to the gun, so my groups were a little off. It could have been the wind at that indoor range, though.

Customer Reviews for BrickHouse Retreat Salon & Day Spa (6)
August 22, 2012
Good Massage
A group of us went to the Brickhouse and had massages. It's also a salon, which I don't like combined with my spa. There is no real relaxation sitting area either. The massage was good though.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Brickhouse!
I got a Spafinder gift card for my birthday, and wasn't sure where to go. Brickhouse is close to me so I thought I'd give it a try. What a lucky guess!!! It is so pretty inside and everyone that works there is so nice! Plus I loved that they have so many things to choose from and their prices are really reasonable. I absolutely love my haircut! I get compliments on it all the time. And my pedicure has lasted almost two months now without the polish coming off. I'll definitely be back. So happy I found this place!
March 20, 2010
Very Good Spa!
I really liked this spa that i went to! It had lots of treatments that i fell in love with, and it relaxed me from the inside out! I left feeling happy and refreshed.
December 25, 2009
This is the BEST spa that I have ever been to. The staff is professional, very friendly and makes your experience phenomenal! I have been going to this spa for over 12 years and have experienced everything from massage, hairstyle, pedicure. My spouse also really likes this spa also.I am sooo happy to find that they accept SpaFinder gift certificates.

|Shaving Private Ryan
Shaving Private Ryan!
DON'T DO IT GUYS! Before you even think about taking a sharp instrument or hot wax to your main man, talk to us first.
Mens Body Works have seen enough do-it-yourself botch jobs to write a book and if your girlfriend or boyfriend says they can do it for you, again...DONT DO IT!
With 12 years experience under her belt, owner and specialised therapist, Angie, has performed thousands of them so you are not alone and he is definitly in good hands.
At Mens Body Works we call it a Single Y-Front wax or a Double Y-Front wax (much more civilised than "a back, crack and sack"!!) AND....it only takes 20mins if that and size doesn't matter!!!!
The Single Y-Front is a clean up of just the front area - not including the testicals. This can include that annoying fury bit from your belly button down - the bit that gets caught in your zipper OUCH!
However, if you're after and bit of this and bit of that, tailor waxing is certainly welcomed where you and Angie can discuss the look you want on the day of your treatment.
If you're not quite up for waxing, [remembering that scene from 40 year-old Virgin], then clipping is another option. This is performed by using hair grooing clippers that feature a safety guard (or not if you're cheeky lol)
But seriously, our techniques and pre and post treatment service is second to none.
We pride ourselves on the reputation we have built over the years and can guarantee you that he is in very in good hands, so please call Angie or speak to any of our friendly team, and book your appointment.
