ELKINS - West Virginia Secretary of State Natalie Tennant, a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, paid a visit to Randolph County Tuesday to visit with residents, officials and business owners as part of her "Talk with Tennant" initiative to visit all 55 counties in the Mountain State on her campaign trail.
Tennant kicked off her visit by stopping at the Randolph County Senior Center to converse with residents. She also visited Hometown Cafe in Elkins for lunch, before going to the Elkins Train Depot for a round table discussion about economic development with city and county officials, including Elkins Mayor Van Broughton, Randolph County Commissioner Mike Taylor, and Delegates Denise Campbell and Bill Hartman, both D-Randolph County, as well as local small business owners.
Gary Clay, representing the Randolph County Development Authority, talked with Tennant about the work of the Wood Technology Center, as well as about how the completion of Corridor H would help build the local economy.

West Virginia Secretary of State Natalie Tennant shares a 'fist bump' with local resident Bill Phares at the Randolph County Senior Center Tuesday.
"I agree, especially with the resurgence of the timber industry, that it will give the economy a boost," Tennant replied. "I would love to see Corridor H completed in my lifetime, as I'm sure most people here would, as well. We need to fuel the timber industry here, manufacture it here and get things moving for this economy."
On the importance of coal, Tennant said "coal as an energy source is vital" and the next step is to support advanced coal mining technology to make the practice more efficient.
"I feel like we, as a state where coal is so much in the fabric of who we are, feel like we have to prove coal again and I feel like that starts with the technological aspect," Tennant said. "Coal is obviously essential, but we also need wind, timber, natural gas and solar energy as well. We don't need to limit our options; we need it all.
"The EPA regulations on coal are unrealistic and unfair," she continued. "(Coal) is of the utmost importance to ensure the safety of the public and for workers. Living in Charleston during the Freedom Industries incident, I understand the impact that corporate oversight can have on a community. I stood in water lines alongside small business owners and citizens. But in terms of coal, the technology is there to ensure that it is clean and that we can get better use for it and make it more efficient in a way that meets standards."
Tennant also commented on the recent raise in the state's minimum wage.
"It's a step in the right direction to stimulating the economy," she said. "You should be able to feed your family and pay your mortgage on a 40-hour work week. We also need to keep the message out to keep creating good-paying jobs, both professional and vocational."
Local officials said they enjoyed the chance to meet with Tennant.
"I've known Natalie Tennant for many years, dating back to when I was working with the State Police and she was a reporter at Channel 12," Taylor said. "The Randolph County Commission interacts with the Secretary of State's office frequently and I've enjoyed working with her in that capacity as well. She has always been cooperative, helpful and willing to work to help others. It's a pleasure to have her back in Randolph County."
"I love Randolph County," Tennant told The Inter-Mountain. "When I visit I get to see a lot of my friends. But mostly I love how forward-thinking the citizens are here. This is a place that is very much in touch with its roots, with the timber industry and the Forest Festival. It's an area that is full of pride and people willing to work to maintain that pride."
Tennant also visited the Tucker County Courthouse before moving on to Mineral County Tuesday as part of her tour, which began in January. Tennant aims to visit more than 30 counties this week.
Tennant is vying for the soon-to-be vacant Senate seat held by Sen. John D. "Jay" Rockefeller IV, who is retiring at the end of his current term.
Six candidates will vie to fill the position. Tennant and Shelley Moore Capito, the current Republican Second District Congresswoman from Kanawha County, are the best known of the field, which also includes Democratic candidates Dennis Melton, from Lewis County, and David B. Wamsley, from Wood County, as well as Republican candidates Larry Eugene Butcher, from Wood County, and Matthew Dodrill, from Wood County. The primary election will be held on May 13.

JACK FORD WELL REMEMBERS HIS first death-penalty case. The time was 1983, and Ford, a former prosecutor, was now defending a 21-year-old man charged with first-degree murder. "I remember walking up the courthouse steps," he recalls, "and thinking, 'Geez, it's this guy's life. Tomorrow morning the jury's going to decide whether he's going to live or die-and I'm the one who has to convince them not to take his life.' "
Ford, 44, who opposes the death penalty because of the possibility of executing the wrong person, saved the man—and several more over the years—from the electric chair. But trying death-penalty cases changed the attorney's perspective. "With those, compared to everything else you do," he says, "the consequences are profoundly more significant. I think that hastened my decision to move on."
Moving on for Ford has meant quitting legal practice in favor of explaining the law on TV. After three years as an anchor on cable's Court TV, he was signed by NBC this summer to serve as its legal analyst and sometime anchor for the O.J. Simpson trial. "I met O.J. one time at an all-American dinner," says Ford, a former football player at Yale. "So it's almost as if a friend's there, charged with murder. It seems to be what a lot of the nation is feeling. It's not like you're looking at Charlie Man-son or Jeffrey Dahmer."
Like any good lawyer with 19 years of trial experience, Ford is fast on his feet and doesn't trip over the furniture. Says Katie Couric, his NBC colleague and a friend: "It's a real skill to explain the law in layperson's terms, and Jack is really good at that. And so very relaxed at the same time." Explains Ford: "I don't use scripts on TV any more than I used notes in the courtroom for opening or closing statements. Even if I was giving a 3-hour summation, I felt more comfortable without them. That's why TV's so easy for me."
Getting to the bar wasn't so easy for Ford. In fact, it took an appearance on Jeopardy! to pay his way through law school. He grew up in Point Pleasant, N.J., and during his high school years he made all-Ocean County quarterback and the National Honor Society to boot. That earned him a ticket to Yale, where he majored in history and was a star defensive back. Graduating in 1972, he married Dorothy Kelly, a secondary school French teacher (the couple now live in Spring Lake, N.J., with their two children, daughter Ashley, 12, and son Colin, 8), and started at Fordham Law School. Money was tight, and tuition was dear. "Then I remembered a friend at Yale who had gone on Jeopardy! and won $1,000," says Ford. "I thought maybe I could do it." He could, and in two days he won $5,000, which paid for tuition and an overdue honeymoon in France. (In a subsequent Jeopardy! gig two years later, he won a trip to London.)
In 1983, WCBS-TV in New York City interviewed Ford about a death-penalty case, then hired him part-time as a legal expert. He switched to Court TV in 1991 and began working part-time for NBC in 1993. After Simpson was indicted this past summer, NBC lured Ford away from Court TV with a full-time, multiyear contract. Will the Simpson trial be recorded as the high-water mark of his career? Alas, no, he concludes. "My obituary will read, 'Jack Ford, former Jeopardy! contestant.' "

Reparative Therapy: To Cure or Not to Cure
Exodus International is taking a controversial stand. From the Chuck Colson Center for Christian Worldview, I'm John Stonestreet with The Point.
Exodus International, a ministry that reaches out to same-sex-attracted people with the love of Christ, announced last week that it is backing away from reparative therapy. Reparative therapy claims same-sex attracted people can be "cured" of their desires.
Exodus will take heat for this, but they are helping us talk more clearly sexuality. The Scriptures do not promise sinful inclinations will go away, but that in the power of Christ we can live above them and seek better ones. Being "cured" from stealing means we don't steal, not necessarily that the temptation to steal goes away.
With this change, Exodus helps clarify that we are more than our desires and urges. The lie that same-sex attraction determines homosexual identity victimizes an entire segment of the population. I pray Exodus will continue to proclaim redemption and hope loud and clear – it's far better than being "cured." For ThePointRadio.org, I'm John Stonestreet.

Marzonis Lichtenhainer
RATINGS: 13 MEAN: 3.67/5.0 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.37/5 SEASONAL: Special EST. CALORIES: 90 ABV: 3%
An almost obsolete (only one example currently being brewed) German Ale, this style of beer was very popular at the end of the 19th century in the Thüringen area of Germany. This is traditionally a pale beer brewed with lightly smoked malted barley and then allowed to become infected with lactic acid in the serving barrel.
This beer is the first half of two collaborative brews between Marzonis and East End Brewing, more to come on our other beer (another obscure German style, gose) later. Since I neither of us had wooden barrels to allow a lactic infection to occur and we didnt want to risk infecting our regular equipment we decided to start off with a sour mash. A sour mash is basically mixing the malted barley with hot water and then holding it at 120 degrees for a few days allowing the natural yeast to create a wonderful lemonadey sourness. We then mixed this with smoked malt and a small amount of wheat and continued on as a normal brew day. We then added a small amount of lactic acid at the end of fermentation to try to keep the flavor to style again without risking a major brewery infection.
This light bodied, pale gold ale starts off with a noticeable but pleasant sourness, displays hints of smokiness, and finishes with a mild lactic bite. ABV 3.0%

Prior to the work of Woehler, who synthesized urea more than a century ago, vital processes and products were considered inseparable from the living body, and the doctrine of vitalism proclaimed them forever beyond the poor power of mankind to understand or reproduce. The tiny crack produced by Woehler in the structure was enlarged by many others, and vitalism is long since defunct. Among the ruins, however, there remains hidden certain knowledge which still awaits excavation. It is with such a fragment, namely the enigma of immunity, that this report is concerned.

Aortic rupture in children and adolescents may be the primary manifestation of coarctation of the aorta of the adult type. Two patients with mycotic aneurysm immediately distal to the coarctation and one with dissecting aneurysm of the ascending aorta are reported. Two of the patients died of hemorrhage—one with mycotic aneurysm during operation, and the other with dissecting aneurysm before operation could be performed. In the remaining patient with a mycotic aneurysm resection and graft of the involved segment was successfully performed with the aid of partial bypass, hypothermia of 29.5 C, and total circulatory arrest for two periods of 22 minutes each. After a prolonged postoperative course complicated by ischemic brain damage, liver abscesses, and an aortic bifurcation aneurysm the patient recovered completely.

Otters' Wood working to earn more ice time
Travis Wood won't waste a second of ice time over the next few weeks.
The Erie Otters' third-year veteran had dressed for only three games since mid-October before playing the past two games. Once forwards Connor McDavid, Andre Burakovsky and Dylan Strome return from international tournaments, Wood understands he could return to being a part-time, fourth-line player and a healthy scratch.
"I want to make the most of it (and) show what I can do," said Wood, who has played in 14 of the team's 33 games after totaling 118 games the past two years. "I'm always anxious to get in the lineup ... (and) show that I can be in the lineup."
Wood got his first goal and point of the season Wednesday against Mississauga, then assisted on rookie Quentin Maksimovich's first OHL goal Thursday at Niagara. Better yet, he caught the attention of head coach Kris Knoblauch, who determines Wood's ice time.
"He's been playing very well," Knoblauch said. "It's very tough for a guy to sit out as long as he did and (then) come back in the lineup and get used to the game speed. That's the biggest transition. But he's done a very good job. With his tenacious play, he's been able to create some turnovers, and he's been rewarded with some points."
Wood has the ultimate motivation to continue performing well: ice time. He began the season as a veteran who could play both up front and on defense.
But the acquisition of Cory Genovese and progression of rookie Travis Dermott left Wood without a spot on defense. Then he was passed in the forward rotation by rookies Maksimovich and Patrick Murphy as the first half progressed.
The result has been "pretty hard," said Wood, who made the team two years ago as a 15-year-old taken in the 11th round of the 2011 OHL Priority Selection.
"I try to do the best (I can), get better (and) try to push myself," he said. "Once I get my chance, (I) just do my role and commit to the team."
Veteran forward Jake Evans said Wood has worked hard in practice and at the gym.
"He's trying to get in the lineup," Evans said.
Knoblauch looks forward to seeing more from Wood in upcoming games. Knoblauch pointed to aggressive play from Wood and Hayden Hodgson that led to Maksimovich's goal late in the third period of the 7-2 win at Niagara.
"Plays like that is really what's making Travis very helpful," Knoblauch said. "It's an excellent opportunity."
Wood is happy with how he played the past two games. But he isn't satisfied with his efforts.
"I still need to step up," he said. "I want to be a positive player on the team."

(Cl. 296-31) space against heat and noises has not been solved even to date in a satisfactory manner. Additionally, the surface of such structures is hyper-sensitive against impact and scratches whereby corresponding costs arise for the repair thereof. Furthermore, the parts of the vehicle body which possibly are constructed so as to be detachable and may be selectively secured to the body, such as, for example, a hard top are relatively heavy and difficult to handle whereby especially in that case the danger of damage is very great.
A partial elimination of these disadvantages is brought about by the vehicle body made of synthetic resins which possibly may be reinforced by suitable filler material, for instance, by glass fibers. Structures, walls and panels constructed in this manner possess a certain damping characteristic and do not represent good heat conductors so that the transmission of noise and heat is reduced. Walls of such materials, however, are not suited to absorb noise within the space which they enclose.
The aim underlying the present invention essentially consists, departing from the aforementioned recognitions, to realize a construction and/or constitute the vehicle body in such a manner that a shielding of the passenger space against noise and an absorption of the noise prevailing within the space takes place to an extent beyond the known, realizable measure. Especially with vehicles which are to be driven by an air-cooled internal combustion engine, noises are transmitted, for example, by the sheet metal floor, into the passenger space, a phenomenon which can be prevented normally only with great difliculty.
This is achieved in accordance with the present invention by constructing the walls or wall panels of the vehicle body of foamed laminates which are connected each with form-rigid supporting parts. Walls constructed in such a manner not only possess a large absorption capacity but also assure a good heat insulation of the enclosed space. The Walls consisting of foamed laminates are of relatively light weight so that, for example, detachable roofs made in this manner may be handled advantageously. The foamed laminate is connected, for purposes of permanency and rigidity in the shape thereof, with supporting parts or members matched or conformed to the contour of the vehicle body or to a part thereof so that, notwithstanding the relatively labile material, the use of which entails numerous advantages, a form-rigidity of the structural part is achieved.
The supporting parts are arranged along the rim of portions of the foamed laminate forming the wall, wall part or body panel and, during manufacture thereof, are
therefore at least partly foamed into the same. By reason of the foaming-in of the supporting parts which are constructed, for example, as pressed parts made of sheet metal or of a synthetic material, a relatively large-surface connection is established between the individual parts. This may be advantageously improved by the fact that the supporting members or parts are provided within the foamed-in area thereof with apertures. It is, however, also possible that the supporting members or parts are constructed as additional structural parts and are secured at the wall consisting of a foamed-laminate. With relatively large-surface foamed wall panels or parts having arcuate or irregular outer surfaces there is embedded therein a framework, preferably a wide-mesh wire network or wire-mesh. The wire mesh is anchored at the supporting parts whereby the supporting parts serve simultaneously for the fastening of the wall or wall part at the adjacent vehicle body part. It is thereby advantageous if the supporting parts form a frame closed in itself. As a result thereof, there is imparted to the wall such rigidity as is necessary for the absorption of the forces occurring during transportation and assembly.
With a detachable roof of a vehicle body which has the aforementioned features, there is provided, preferably within the area of the door aperture thereof, a girder extending transversely to the vehicle longitudinal axis which is adapted or conformed to the roof curvature and supports the framework which is secured at the frame. The roof is thereby advantageously reinforced by the transverse connection of the frame. Simultaneously therewith, the girder forms a support for the framework. Depending on the construction of the cross-girder as well as on the cross section thereof, the cross-girder possibly also forms a protection against indentation or collapsing of the roof particularly when the vehicle rolls over. With .a roof having a rear window, the rim portions of the clearvision laminate forming, in a manner known per se, the rear window, are foamed together with the roof laminate.
In a vehicle body provided with a door covering, there is further proposed in accordance with the present invention that the covering constructed as a foamed laminate be provided with sealing bodies made integrally or in one piece therewith, for example, seals or the like, for purposes of covering or closing oif the gaps extending within the rim areas thereof. The arrangement of a further additional seal together with the necessary fastening means are obviated thereby. The cover forms thereby simultaneously the aperture for a window to be inserted into the door.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle body construction which eliminates the disadvantages and shortcomings of the prior art constructions as are normally encountered with stamped or pressed sheet metal parts or with body parts made of synthetic resins.
it is still another object of the present invention to provide a vehicle body which effectively eliminates droning, provides an effective insulation of the passenger space against heat and noises, and additionally offers a considerably reduced sensitivity against scratches and impact.
Another object of the present invention resides in the provision of a vehicle body construction in which the individual parts, especially the detachable parts, are of relatively light weight so as to permit easy handling thereof and thereby reducing the danger of damage in case of transportation and installation.
Still a further object of the present invention resides in the provision of a vehicle body construction which re duces the transmission of noises and heat and which has a very small absorption capacity for heat.
A further objectof the present invention resides in the well as a more pleasing appearance.
provision of a motor vehicle body which may be manufactured relatively inexpensively and which provides a relatively form-rigid structure.
These and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing which shows, for purposes of illustration only, several embodiments in accordance with the present invention, and wherein:
FIGURE 1 is a partial side-elevational view of a passenger motor vehicle, provided with a detachable roof, in accordance with the present invention,

FIGURE 5 is an enlarged partial cross sectional view illustrating certain details of a roof construction in accordance with the present invention,
FIGURE 6 is a longitudinal cross sectional view through a modified embodiment of a passenger motor vehicle having a detachable hard top the cross section being taken within the area of the rear window,
FIGURE 7 is a side view of a door of a passenger motor vehicle together with the adjoining parts in accordance with the present invention,
FIGURE 8 is a cross sectional, on an enlarged scale, taken along line VIII-VIII of FIGURE 7,
FIGURE 9 is a cross sectional view, on an enlarged scale, taken along line IXIX of FIGURE 7,
FIGURE 10 is a partly schematic longitudinal cross sectional view through the rear of still another embodiment of a passenger motor vehicle in accordance with the present invention,
FIGURE 11 is a partial cross sectional view, on an enlarged scale, illustrating some details of the embodiment of FIGURE 10, and
FIGURE 12 is a partial cross sectional view, on an enlarged scale, illustrating still further details of the embodiment of FIGURE 10.
Referring now to the drawing wherein like reference numerals are used throughout the various views to designate corresponding parts, and more particularly to FIGURE 1, the motor vehicle illustrated therein is provided with a vehicle body the individual parts and wall panels of which are manufactured partly as stamped sheet metal parts and partly of synthetic material. The front wheel covers or fenders 2, the door 3 and the rear wheel covers or fenders 4 consist essentially of stamped or pressed out sheet metal parts. Additionally, consisting essentially of pressed sheet metal parts are, in the front of the vehicle, the hood 5 together with the cowl 6 which is adioined by a frame 8 accommodating therein the windshield 7. In the rear of the vehicle, the bow member 9' together with adjoining lid 10' are also constructed as pressed sheet metal parts. These parts produce in their aggregate the outer covering body walls of an open vehicle.
It is known in the prior art toprovide such a vehicle, constructed as a convertible, with a protective cover made of fabric or pressed sheet metal parts whereby the latter entail a considerably better protection against cold as Since with hardtop roofs, there exist only local connections between the vehicle body and the roof, the tendency to rattle or to vibrate is very great on the part of such roofs. Especially with vehicles which are driven by air-cooled internal combustion engines, this property of the roof is of particular disadvantage.
In order to avoid these disadvantages normally encountered with the prior art constructions, the roof 11 in accordance with the present invention is made of a porous A. synthetic material in that a laminate is obtained by foam ing action. There exist several possibilities for the manufacture of the foamed laminate of which only two will be described hereinafter by a reference to two individual embodiments.
One of the known methods pursuant to which the roof illustrated in FIGURES 2 to 4 is made essentially consists in placing into a mold a thin layer of a mass of synthetic material, preferably consisting of PVC (polyvinyl chloride). After a brief stabilization of this mass by the application of heat, a second layer of this PVC mass is placed over this first layer into the mold, however, mixed this time with a known foaming agent, whereupon the mold is closed and is heated, for example, to C. The individual layers thereby unite closely and form a unitary structure. It is possible not to subject to the foaming action parts of the first thin and porous-free layer of the laminate by covering the same whereby this section can be used, in the finished product, for purposes of fastening or securing thereto or supporting thereon other parts.
The roof 11 according to FIGURES 2 to 4 is provided with a bearer frame 12. The bearer frame 12 which consists either of pressed sheet metal parts or possibly also of synthetic resins extends along the outer rim portions of the roof 11 and simultaneously forms the support for a rear window 13 as well as for a permanently installed side window 14, At least a part of the bearer frame 12 is foamed-in into the roof whereby a good connection between the parts is achieved. This may be enhanced by the fact that apertures or openings 15 are provided in the bearer frame 12 whereby a connection is established in certain sections between the foamed masses extending to both sides of the bearer frame.
The windshield frame 8 is composed of two essentially U-shaped parts 16 and 17 which are connected with each other by means of flanges 18 and 19. The flange 18 serves for purposes of retaining a profile seal 20 within which is supported the windshield 7. The flange 19 forms an abutment for the bearer from 12 which is additionally supported over a seal 21 at the windshield frame 8 or pressed part 16. The securing of the roof I! at the frame 8 takes place by means of a clamping connection 22 of any suitable construction which is secured at the bearer frame 12 of the roof 11 and engages into a lug 23 secured at the pressed part 17.
The bearer frame 12 also possesses within the area of the rear window 13 (FIGURE 3) a flange 24 in which is anchored a seal 25 receiving therein the window 13. Additionally, the frame 12 is provided with an angularly bent portion 26 extending essentially horizontally with which a threaded bolt member 27 is connected, for example, rigidly. This bolt member 27 may be inserted into an aperture of the bow member 9 of the vehicle body and may be secured by a nut 28. For purposes of covering the gap between the angular bent portion 26 of the bearer frame 12 and the bow member 9 of the body there is provided a decorative strip 29. The fastening of the roof at the body, however, may also take place by any other suitable known means, possibly by the interposition of elastic inserts.
The bearer frame 12 is constructed correspondingly within the area of the side windows 14 (FIGURES 4 and 5) whereby for purposes of fixing the roof to the body the latter is additionally provided with a flange portion 30 which abuts against a stepped offset 31 of the rear wheel cover or fender 4. The roof provided with a rain channel 32 which is formed integrally with the roof, i.e, is made in one piece therewith. The bearer frame 1.2 is of essentially undulated shape within this area whereby the one rim portion 33 of the bearer frame 12 provides for the retention of a seal 34 for the window 14 and the other rim portion 35 extends beyond the plane of the roof and forms a reinforcement or framework for the rain channel32.
The roof is additionally provided wtih a framework by means of which the form-rigidity thereof is assured. For that purpose, a wire-mesh or wire-network 36 is embedded in the foamed layer which possesses a curvature corresponding to the contour of the roof. The wire mesh 36 is anchored at the bearer frame 12, and more particularly at the foamed-in part thereof, i.e., at the part thereof connected by foaming action.
For purposes of reinforcing the bearer frame 12, a girder member 37 (FIGURE 3) is arranged within the area of the door 3 which is secured at the bearer frame 12 and extends transversely over the roof. The shape of the girder member 37 is matched to the arching contour of the roof whereby the girder 37 is also preferably embedded in the foamed-in part of the roof. The girder 37 thereby simultaneously supports the wire mesh 36 in an advantageous manner. Dependent on the construction of the girder 37 and/or the dimensions thereof, the girder may provide a protection against indentation or collapse of the roof in case the vehicle turns over.
FIGURE 6 illustrates a roof 11' which, in contradistinction to the embodiment of FIGURE 3 possesses a rear window 13' made of a transparent clear-vision laminate. This clear-vision laminate is directly inserted into the foamed portion of the roof 11' and is connected therewith in this manner. The bearer frame 12 extends correspondingly within the area of the rear window 13' exclusively along the outer rim of the roof and forms a form-rigid reinforcement. The framework or wire-mesh 36 is thereby constructed in such a manner that it overlaps with the rear window pane 13 and forms a support therefor.
FIGURE 7 illustrates a side view of a motor vehicle 38 within the area of the door 39 thereof. As may be seen from FIGURE 8, the door 39 consists of an outer pressed part 40 and of an inner pressed part 41 which are connected with each other within the rim areas of the door 39 in any known suitable manner. The pressed parts 39 and 40 are arranged essentially below the belt line 42 of the vehicle whereby a Window pane 43 is provided thereabove which is constructed, in a manner known per se, to be lowerable into the door 39 within a guide means 44. The rim portion 45 of the outer pressed part 40 which is adjacent the window pane 43 is angularly bent and extends essentially parallelly to the pane 43. A seal 46 is secured at the rim 45 in a manner known per se.
The inner pressed part 41 is provided with a wall panel or part 47 constructed in accordance with the present invention which preferably extends over the entire door and forms the inner door covering. The wall part 47 is provided with an essentially plane surface and is conformed along the side thereof facing the inner pressed part 41 to the contour of the latter. The pressed part 41 is angularly bent within the area of the window pane 43 and forms an abutment or support for the door covering 47 which forms thereby the door aperture for the window pane 43. The door covering 47 is further provided with a sealing lip 48 which is made in one piece therewith and which seals the gap 49 between the pane 43 and the covering 47.
The door covering 47 is provided with a further sealing lip 50 (FIGURE 9) which covers the gap 51 between the door fold 52 of the inner pressed part 41 and the fixed part of the body, for example, the forward wheel covering or fender 53. This sealing lip 50 is preferably provided in addition to a door seal of known construction (not illustrated in the drawing) for the purpose to prevent the entrance of the air stream with a poorly abutting main seal and to establish a smooth transition between the parts. The wall part illustrated in FIGURE 9 is manufactured according to a different method or process from the walls according to FIGURES 2 to 6. In differentiation of the method of manufacture of the foamed wall described hereinabove, a finishel laminate 54 was used as base body which is provided according to-the present invention with a foamed layer 55 preferably consisting of a PVC mass [3 0 under essentially similar conditions as described in connection with the embodiment of FIGURES 2 to 6. The rim portions 56 of the laminate are free and unfoamed and serve for purposes of securing of the covering at the inner pressed part 41 of the door 39. For that purpose, a bearer part 57 is placed upon the foamed part 55 of the covering 47 which is constructed as a flat tape or band and extends preferably over a larger area of the covering. This band 57 is provided with a plurality of clamps 58 of known construction the springy tongue portions of which are inserted into an aperture 60 of the inner pressed part 41. The free rim portion 56 of the laminate 54 is thereby inserted between the band 57 and the pressed part 41 and is retained thereat in position.
The vehicle part illustrated in FIGURE 10 is provided with a rear seat bench 61 which is adjoined by a luggage space 62. The luggage space 62, in addition to being defined or delimited by the seat bench 61, is also limited by the luggage space floor 63 and a lid 65 adjoining the vehicle roof 64. Additionally, an essentially horizontally extending wall 66 is provided between the seating bench 61 and the pressed roof part 64 which separates the passenger space 67 from the luggage space 62. The internal combustion. engine driving the vehicle is accommodated, for example, within the space 68 below the luggage floor 63. v
A rear window 69 is accommodated within the pressed roof part 64. The roof part 64 is further provided at least within the area adjoining the lid 65 with an additional part 70 by means of which a box-shaped cross bearer 71 is formed. The pressed roof part 64 is further provided with an angularly bent portion 72 which forms the aperture for the reception of the lid or cover 65. This angularly bent portion 72 passes over into an essentially horizontally extending flange 73 the upright rim portion 74 of which carries a seal 75. The lid 65 is connected with a reinforcing part 76 which in the closed condition of the lid 65 rests against the seal 75. A hinge (not illustrated in the drawing) of known construction for purposes of pivotally supporting the lid 65 is arranged between the reinforcing part 76 and the angularly bent portions 72 of the pressed roof part 64.
The separating wall 66 consists in accordance with the present invention of a foamed laminate whereby the foamed layer 77 is covered possibly on both sides with other layers or laminates. The separating wall 66 may be manufactured in accordance with any known method, particularly any one of the two methods described hereinabove. The rim of the wall 66 adjoining the seat bench 61 is split whereby two divergent lip portions 78 and 79 are present. The lip portion 78 is provided with a reinforcement 80 which is constructed as a form part, preferably as a pressed sheet metal part. This reinforcement 80 is secured at a cross bearer member 81 which extends transversely over the vehicle from one side wall to the other, serves as support for the seating bench 61 and extends beyond the upper limit 82 of the seat bench 61. This projecting part 83 of the cross bearer 81 is bent in a spirally shaped manner against the boundary 82 of the seat bench 61 and forms an abutment for the latter. The lip portion 79 of the separating wall 66 is matched to the contour of the part 83 and includes at the end thereof an essentially U-shaped reinforcement 84 which surrounds the end of the part 83 and thereby retains the lip portion 79 in the position thereof.
Similarly, the separating wall 66 is provided within the area of the pressed roof part 64 01' of the bearer 71 with a reinforcing insert 85 which is embedded at least partly within the foamed portion 77. The free rim portion 86 of the insert '85 is angularly bent in a U-shaped manner and in the built-in condition crimped over the welding flange 87 of the pressed parts 64 and 70. The flange portion 87 and the rim portion 86 serve for the reception of a seal 88 within which the rear window 69 is supported.
A wire mesh 89 extends between the reinforcements so and as of the wall 66 which wire mesh 89 is embedded into the foamed portion 77 and secured at the reinforcements. As a result thereof, the form-rigidity as well as the loading capacity of the wall is increased.
The arrangement .of a wall in accordance with the present invention between the luggage and passenger space of a passenger motor vehicle which is driven by an aircooled internal combustion engine disposed below the luggage space brings with it a good shielding of the passenger space against engine noises. This is based, inter alia, on the advantageous absorption capacity of the porous foamed laminate the density of which may be selectively determined in a known manner during manu facture thereof. Asa result thereof, there exists a possibility, depending on ultimate use, to manufacture a suitable foamed part for certain walls or wall parts which satisfy the requirements therefor. A motor vehicle pro- .vided with wall parts made in accordance with the present invention thereby also considerably reduces the danger of accident in case of collision.
Accordingly, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments illustrated herein as it is susceptible of many modifications and changes within the spirit thereof. Es-
pecially, the constructive configuration of the parts and/ or the connections thereof is of no significance insofar as the present invention is concerned.
Thus, it is quite obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details shown and described herein but is susceptible of many changes and modifications within the spirit and scope thereof, and I, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the details shown and described herein but intend to cover all such changes and modifications as are encompassed by the scope of the appended claims.

Once you've created the account, and (attempted to) retrieve email,
Thunderbird will prompt you for a username and/or password for email
There's a checkbox to remember the info so you don't have to enter it

After you've done all this successfully, you will find the usernames and

afaik, there isn't an option to set username and password before you

On the basis of ten personal observations, five cases reported to me by colleagues,1 and a review of the literature, I presented to the International Congress at Lisbon in 1906 a paper on the Punctate Forms of Retinitis.2 In this study I came to the conclusion that the term had been and could be applied to several different types of disease, which had in common merely the occurrence of white dots in the fundus but varied in significance and clinical history. These conclusions I can confirm and extend by a further study of some of my patients.
While a pronounced retinitis punctata albescens, as the term is used by Mooren and most of the writers, is a rare disease, the appearance of discrete and usually not numerous white or yellowish-white dots, apparently situated in the retina, is not uncommon. When these white dots are numerous, counting up into

Your sunrise summary of everything you need to know about weather in Houston.
Sunny and warm this afternoon.
Houston ended June with an average temperature of 82.5 degrees, a scant 0.1 degree above normal. This is notable because the city had been running a streak of eight consecutive months with below-normal temperatures, something which hadn't happened in three decades.
Also of note: The city failed to record a daily high of 95 degrees or warmer in June, something that hasn't happened since 2001.
Looking ahead, Houston faces several sunny and warm days — with highs in the low- to mid-90s — under the influence of high pressure. We may well get the year's first 95-degree day. But that ridge should weaken by Thursday or so, allowing for a decent chance of rain and possibly thunderstorms to return to the forecast.
It's not possible to rule out thunderstorms on Friday evening, during fireworks, but the best chances of rain appear to come during the daytime hours through the holiday weekend.
In any case, expect warm days in the 90s and warm nights in the upper 70s through the weekend, which is about what you'd expect in early July.
Tropical Depression One has formed off the coast of Florida this morning, and now that conditions are more favorable for development it's expected to strengthen into a tropical storm and then a hurricane by Friday.
The storm is forecast to move up the East Coast, likely grazing the Carolinas, before it moves off into the North Atlantic Ocean.
Its maximum forecast winds are 75 mph.
Our rain went away,
but fret not, it's likely back
for the holiday.
During the heat wave of 1980, unmatched until 2011, the high today hit 102 degrees.

As the calendar and finally the weather is calling summer, various food events begin to take place all around the country. They are like mushrooms after the rain, sprouting up everywhere: in a vibrant city center as well as in the smallest town. On a far-away farm, in middle of a park, near by a beautiful beach, in the old town hall, and even inside of a church.
People tend to say that if you went one of them, you've been to all of them. Same concept, same scenario, same events, same producers settled under the same tents offering same edible and non-edible goodies. Let's say it's true, but being too enamored of various images of food, or simply never too tired to make another walk around the stalls filled, stacked and loaded with the most beautiful flavors, I am still tempted to visit them all. Well, at least as many as possible. Cause even though very similar in nature, they all have a slightly different vibe. Something unique and exceptional could be found in each and every single one of them.
Like this Farm Feast, for example, I visited... oh well, already a month ago. It goes into my list as being the muddies food event I've ever been to (thanks to the rainy English May), but just as well it was a place where I found that delicious chili and lime smoked mackerel, remarkably moist brandy fruit cake, balsamic vinegar I couldn't stop dipping my bread in and that terrific Blood Mary chutney which, let's agree, doesn't need any other explanation.

Grand Valley State junior cornerback Reggie Williams (Lansing, Mich./Everett) has been named GLIAC Special Teams Player of the Week for the second time this season it was announced by the GLIAC office. Williams returned two kickoffs 114 yards, including one 83 yards for a TD, one punt 16 yards, an interception seven yards and caused a fumble in the Lakers' 46-41 victory over Ohio Dominican last Saturday (Sept. 22).

Williams became the first player in GVSU football history to return a punt and a kickoff for a touchdown in the same season when he returned a third quarter kickoff 83 yards for a score. Williams' interception led to a touchdown and he also recorded six tackles in the winning effort. Williams is averaging 31.2 yards on four punt returns, 41.0 yards on three kickoff returns and 7.7 yards on his team-high three interceptions.

While it remains the most expensive home on the market in Las Vegas, a massive ranch once owned by Wayne Newton has seen a steep price reduction.
Known as "Casa de Shenandoah," the 36-acre property hit the market in September with a whopping $70 million price tag. But Newton's former Xanadu had its asking price slashed by more than 30 percent in recent days, and now lists for just $48 million.
The famed performer and his family resided at the ranch from the 1960's until 2010, when, amid bankruptcy, Newton sold the property to a development company for $19.5 million. Newton retained a 20 percent stake in the company, CSD LLC, which aspired to convert the majority of the outlandish property into a theme park. However, after a combination of lawsuits, money disputes and poor planning, the development company went belly up and the home was put up for sale.
Despite its fate, the home remains the stuff of real estate legend and an embodiment of one of Las Vegas' greatest showmen. Built in 1952, the massive estate weighs in at a whopping 11,192 square feet. In addition to the main home, which offers three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, a total of seven additional houses are found throughout the premises. That said, its magnitude is hardly its greatest selling point.
The property is as much a zoo as it is a luxury home. Newton installed facilities to keep all sorts of exotic animals, including prized Arabian horses, sloths, penguins and wallabies. He had a massive bird cage that housed more than 100 types of winged creatures, and equestrian facilities with 37 stables and a pool for his horses.
Birds were not the only things taking flight on Newton's ranch. The home has its own jet terminal and runway, allowing for quick in-and-out flights on a private plane. A "car museum" features seven double doors and ample space for the finest automobile collections. Other luxuries include a gaming room, a green room and a tennis court.
Although the property has seen a steep price cut, don't count on Newton moving back to his former oasis. In May, the performer paid $3 million for a 9,145-square-foot home down the street from the ranch. He then added an adjacent 10-acre property in June.
Dale Thornburgh of Sotheby's International Realty has the listing.
