MINNEAPOLIS -- Citing the need to streamline its distribution operations, Nash Finch Co. here has closed its fourth warehouse since November 1998. The limited distribution center in Liberal, Kan., which had acted as a satellite DC for the wholesaler's Denver warehouse, closed its doors Jan. 15. The Denver distribution center is now servicing the Liberal facility's retailers. The closed distribution center had handled high-cube, low-value items such as paper products, with most of the ...

Hi, I am a Computer Scientist and I write software programs that are used by both HST astronomer's and Space Telescope staff. Two of the more interesting and technically challenging programs that I work on are:
I get a lot of satisfaction from the work I do to support HST. Everytime I see HST pictures or hear about some new discovery made by HST, I know that the software programs I worked on helped in making it all possible.
When I graduated from High School, I had no idea what I wanted to do. My first year in college I took some computer classes and realized that I liked working with them. I went on to get a Bachelors and Masters degree in Computer Science, and have been working with computers ever since.
I have two children. My daughter is 5 and my son is 2. When I'm not playing with my kids, you can find me playing soccer or riding my bicycle.

Who needs a Shake Weight when I have a Kid?Dan Pearce
Shake Weight. Let's try not to get lost in the giggles of how ridiculous those things actually look. Or how… ummm… weird they actually are.
Okay, we can giggle for a second. Here's the "official Shake Weight" commercial.
Honestly, that has nothing to do with today's post, I just find that commercial to be hillarious. And… ummm… weird.
But seriously. Let's talk about a WAY better way to work those muscles. A way that doesn't leave even a super muscle-man panting and saying "whoa, that's it!" after only seven weak-sauce minutes.
I guarantee if you follow my plan, in 18 years your muscles will be ginormous.
It's a really simple eleven step program.
STEP ONE: Acquire a baby. There are lots of methods to do this. You could have one. I've heard that's fun. You can adopt one. I've done that and can recommend this method. You can steal one. Risky, but pays off for some people. However you do it, just get a baby.
STEP TWO: Don't actually steal a baby. Come on.
STEP THREE: Get a workout by using your baby as a weight-set. Since babies are so small, you can usually hold 'em with one hand which will let you work almost every muscle in your arms, back, chest, and shoulders. Just hold your baby and do whatever you'd do with a dumb bell or one of those freaky kettle balls.
DISCLAIMER: Do not do with your baby whatever you'd do with a Shake Weight. That would cause Shaking Baby Syndrome. And you'd feel bad forever.
STEP FOUR: Get creative to complete STEP THREE.
STEP FIVE: Don't drop your baby.
STEP SIX: Do it every day.
STEP SEVEN: Don't stop doing it every day.
STEP EIGHT: Even when you have to get creative in how you hold your kid, don't stop doing it every day. It doesn't matter if they're two months, two years, or rounding the bend to eighteen. Never skip. Ever. The best thing about this system is, you can do it anywhere! The grocery store. The park. While pulled over at a rest stop.
STEP NINE: Admire your muscles in the mirror every day.
STEP TEN: When your kid leaves home, tell him he's always welcome to come raid your pantry so long as he lets you use him as a weight set once more. You know, to keep your muscles up.
STEP ELEVEN: Wave goodbye to your kid, look in the mirror, and realize you have the biggest muscles of anybody on earth.
"But Dan, that all seems so easy," you might say!
I will tell you right now, that it IS. At least in theory. I've only made it to year four so far.
But come on… I mean, what a perfect system. You start out with a seven, eight, nine pound weight. Anybody can handle that. With a *little* dedication you'll eventually be lifting a 20 lb. weight, then 40 lb., then 100 lb., and if you feed your kid enough Happy Meals, you'll be doing 200+ lbs. before you know it! It's so gradual, you have no idea you're even getting a workout those eighteen years.
I mean come on. Who wants to use a Shake Weight when you can just lift your kid up and down in the air for free.
I know I don't.
Dan Pearce, Single Dad Laughing
PS. This post is all in good fun, but in all awesome seriousness… isn't it awesome that your muscles naturally get bigger as your kid grows? Noah weighs forty pounds and I can carry him around for ages without getting tired. Four years ago if you would have asked me to haul around a 40 lb. dumb bell, I woulda kicked you in the face and said "get real."

anyone have a nanny?
Comments (4)
I have a nanny but she's my mother, so... :)
Good luck and hang in there! The media certainly doesn't help with your fears, either-- in terms of crimes, etc., we are actually the SAFEST we have ever been as a country (i.e. compared to other time periods) but you'd never know it with all of the crazy stories out there.
Maybe if you looked at it as a trial period, or asked your nanny for that? That might help your lack of trust-- you could see them in action? This is tough because even if you get the perfect candidate, this isn't an issue with them, but with you. I wonder if there are any books out there that might help you to get over your fear of trusting someone else with your kids?
I was OK with going back to work after my maternity leave was over, but a lot of my friends were not-- they said they just had to hang in there that first, really rough week or two, and then things got much, much better. Also, I know a lot of people ask their nannies to say, text them a random picture of what they are doing with the kids during the day or something-- that makes them feel good knowing their kids are safe and happy.
Good luck-- I'll be thinking about you.
Mom to Laine Gloria (12-28-08) and Molly Kate (1-27-11) and new baby boy Theodore Benjamin (4-26-14)
I had a nanny for about 2 years; we actually just said good bye to her in the end of May, as she got offered an assistant teaching position in a different part of the state. It is definitely so challenging to trust another person (let alone an initial stranger) with your kids- you are so not alone on that!
How are you finding the candidates that you are interviewing? It helped me to use a website that was recommended to me by both a close friend and a family member. Sittercity is the website, and it allowed me to view candidates background checks, as well as information about them as a person, and their experience as a nanny. We interviewed about 7 different women, and really made sure to take our time with the process. Don't settle for someone that you don't feel 100% comfortable with. My husband and I would meet the candidate first just us, then I would call their references (I required at least 3), and then if we felt "so far so good" we would set up a time for the woman to come over to our house, when I was home, to spend about an hour with our daughter, who at the time was 2 1/2.
Throughout the time we had our nanny I would text/call at random periods during the day to check in and see what everyone was up to. I also had her fill out a journal listing what she did with teh kids each morning, when my younger kid went down for a nap, what they had for lunch, etc, so I at least had a good idea of what was going on during the day, which always made me feel better.
Good luck, and remember, don't settle- the right nanny for your family is out there!
Mom to Anna 12/3/2008 & Max 6/20/2012
We are using care.com for background checks etc. I've also called their references. We narrowed it down to three out of about a hundred so there is that as well!
Honestly I think it might just take time. I don't even really trust our parents to follow our parenting rules!
See if you can't tap into your local school district. Maybe there's a graduate who can only get substitute teaching jobs that might be looking for a nanny gig.
Also, local college campuses that have early elementary ed programs are a good source. You can always also ask professors for references. Alot of my friends in undergrad who were part of the el ed major were nannies or worked in preschools during school and shortly after graduation until they could find a full time teaching gig.

MOBILE, Alabama -- Mobile International Festival executive director Bobbie Bayne wants to take your kids on a trip around the world.
"If I can open the eyes and mind of one child during the festival, then I am successful," said Bayne, who took over leadership of MIF in January 2011. "I might not ever know it. I don't expect to know it, but I'm doing something for these children who might not ever leave their neighborhood or city or county. I'm letting them know there's something else out there for them."
"As a former teacher, Bobbie understands the importance of educating students about the customs and cultures found throughout the world," said MIF president Joe Davis. "For so many students, the International Festival may be their only opportunity to experience this. Bobbie loves the festival and works real hard throughout the year to put on this wonderful event for everyone."
For years, Bayne served as MIF's education coordinator before taking the reins from former executive director Estela Dorn.
"Because of the training I got, it's not been a challenge. It's just been more intense," said Bayne. "With Estela's constant training efforts over the couple of years before she retired, that's why the transition has not been as nerve-wracking as I thought it would be. I'm very grateful to her."
"She had some big shoes to fill after Estela," said MIF vice president and charter member Gloria Schneider. "She has met the challenge of directing and coordinating MIF as well as getting our wonderful sponsors. She has continued to keep our MIF functioning as an international family. In my opinion, Bobbie Bayne has turned into a great executive director of whom we are very proud."
Bayne's vision for MIF's future includes greater use of technology, and for 2012, she has ensured both the availability of online ticket sales and the use of QR codes which have been incorporated into the cultural booths, which along with the food booths, represent more than 75 countries.
"We're trying to bring the festival up to the 21st century, to get us more technically savvy," said Bayne. "The QR codes at each cultural booth when scanned will take visitors straight to that country's board of tourism. The kids love using their I-phones and I think they'll respond to this."
MIF will celebrate its 29th year with the theme "National Treasures," into which Bayne and festival members have incorporated an emphasis on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
"For many years we have taught students geography, social studies, foreign languages, cuisine, design, world history and social acceptance," said Bayne. "In 2012 we are proud to announce the addition of STEM to that program."
The festival's exhibits will include two booths for Evonik Industries showcasing how STEM is used at their plant, and the Mobile Museum of Art will host an area with a STEM-centered art project for visitors to create.
Where: Mobile Civic Center in downtown Mobile
When: Saturday, Nov. 17, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Cost: $10 for adults, $8 for seniors, $5 for ages 7-15; no charge for kids 6 and younger
More information: www.mobileinternationalfestival.org
Other exhibits, including the David McCann Art Gallery and the storytelling area, will incorporate STEM, as will an exhibit with a Captain Jack Sparrow look-alike that will feature six simple machines found on a pirate ship.
Each cultural booth will highlight a national treasure, such as the Egyptian pyramids or the Taj Mahal, and explain how STEM applies to the creation of the structure.
"MIF is a working classroom," said Bayne. "We offer hands-on experiences that the students would never be able to have in a normal classroom setting. Opening the eyes of students to the world around them is the greatest gift we can give any child!"
The festival will include a unique experience for visitors who come on "Family Day," on Saturday, Nov. 17.
"After the parade of flags at 11:30 that morning, there's going to be a wedding of festival members from two different cultures: one is a Buddhist and one Catholic," said Bayne. "That's what the festival is all about."

How to Properly Use Headhunters
Whenever you start posting your resume on job search websites, you will invariably be contacted by recruiters, affectionately called headhunters. Headhunters can be a valuable asset in the job hunting process because their goals are in line with yours.
The typical headhunter scenario works like this. An employer is looking to fill a specific job opening within a few weeks. They go to a headhunting company that looks in its database of candidates and tries to fill the role. If the job opening is filled, the headhunting company gets paid. Headhunters are constantly on the lookout for new talent to add to their database, so they often search job sites, as employers do, for strong candidates. The job seeker never pays for the headhunter's services, the employers do. (in fact, if a headhunter wants to charge you a fee, run the other way)
This post will teach you how to properly use these wonderful (free) additions to your job hunting team.

text: Hi, welcome. The best advise I was given regarding shopping was to shop the walls of most markets and stay out of the aisles where the processed junk is. Funny thing is now I can smell the sugar from three aisles away. Meats, eggs, butter, veggies. That's the base. Read Mark's book, use the search feature, look at the archives, It's all there. Have fun.

War on Tuberculosis
MetLife began working with the National Tuberculosis Association in 1916 to control TB, America's number one killer at that time. The company donated $200,000 to sponsor a "town health demonstration" in Framingham, Mass.
|The campaign enlisted every local club, church, organization, and society, and set up committees with representatives from every block in the city. Over the next seven years, the 17,000 Framingham residents served as a laboratory for testing the efficiency of public health measures.
|Welfare Division director Lee Frankel led MetLife's research and treatment work at Framingham, and his assistant and successor, Donald B. Armstrong, lived in Framingham with his wife and children.
|By encouraging reasonable health rules and periodic physical examinations, and by providing health education in schools and factories, MetLife achieved its aim of reducing the ravages of TB in Framingham. Over the life of the project, the incidence of tuberculosis in this city was reduced 68 percent. Infant mortality decreased, as well, by 40 percent. After 1923, Framingham city officials continued the work, and the Framingham model became incorporated in county and city tuberculosis programs nationwide.

Hot's it all about!
No tepid times were slated for a brace of deb bashes that headed to locations of fish and fauna, all the while adding sauce and sass. In fact, one group packaged its message around a bottle of hot sauce. And then encased it in burlap and beribboned it.
"One Hot Night" tagged the message-and-the-bottle bash that took place at the Red Fish Grill and honored Misses Margaret Mills Weinmann and Catherine Mary Acomb, respective daughters of Mr. and Mrs. John Giffen Weinmann Jr. (CiCi and Giffen), and Mr. and Mrs. William Ryan Acomb (Judy and Ryan). A week later, a lupine location showcased Catherine Colleen Frampton, daughter of Don and Colleen Frampton. Frampton family and friends made tracks to the Howlin' Wolf and boogied to the Rebirth Brass Band (and favorite song "Do Whatcha Wanna").
CiCi's sister, Elise Merlin, came up with the concept for the hot-sauce invitation that was created by Betty Hunley and had hot-pepper address tags by Marilyn Pointer. In addition to the restaurant's decor, there were large wooden replicas of the invitations painted by Melissa Henry; red and yellow bromeliads in thematic colors; and big, clear vases filled with colorful peppers turned upside down to serve as candle holders for the red tapers.
Such appetizers as Cajun corndogs and firecracker hummus started off the grazing, which gave gustatory way to hickory-grilled redfish and cochon du lait pasta, and desserts of chocolate bread pudding.
Making "Hot" their happening were deb Catherine's siblings Elizabeth, Ryan and Mary, and grandparents Bob and Greta, as well as, all Acombs, Dwight and Kirsten, Robby and Kay, Greta, and John. LeBlancs were well represented by Dwight and Janie, Ashley, and Connie and Dwight. Still others were Hank and Gina Arnold, Del and Jamie Agnew, Michael and Mendy Barry, Jim and Claudia Nelson, Donald and Indie McKay, Tom and Aby Hamrick, Van and Amy Vandenburgh, and Snappy and Leslie Jacobs.
They complimented Catherine on her Yoana Baraschi teal green dress and mom Judy on her sleeveless blue Elie Tahari number. Mills Weinmann sported a black silk dress by Nanette Lepore with splashes of color, while CiCi appeared in a lavender and yellow linen dress by Milly. More compliments.
Those nearest and dearest to the Weinmanns were deb sisters Kathryn and Laura, Max and Elise Merlin, Corinne and Bill Barry, Michael and Mendy Barry, Charles and Brenda Fenner, Ed and Elise Connolly, Bob and Monique McCleskey, Bobby and Judy Whann, Philip and Laura Claverie, Keith and MeMe Henry, David and Mary Stewart Bailey, Balad and Cecile Tebo, Michael and Aimee Bell, Jeff and Sarah Meckstroth, Eli and Deborah Tullis, Allain and Judy Andry, and Jimmy and Marguerite Kock. Mills, who grew up in Dallas, loved meeting local family friends, concluded "No one knows how to celebrate like the people of New Orleans." Catherine, who echoed the party's intrinsic fun, described BRW as "the perfect band to spice up "One Hot Night.'¤" "My Girl" was a fairly tame number, but "Shout" put dance-floor pepper in the partying.
At Howlin' Wolf, the marquee was ablaze with twinkling lights and papered with posters and headshots of honoree Catherine Frampton, whose name also appeared on cups and water bottles with the "good times do roll on" theme in white and gold.
Ken and Margaret Beer with Kingsley, Darryl and Louellen Berger, Ralph and Susan Brennan with Kristen, Monty and Julie Burlingame, Peyton and Barbara Bush, Pierre and Linda Conner, Lawton Fabacher, Doug and Lisa Mills with Caroline, Ted and Suzette Prechter, Stephen and Susan Hall with Taylor, Ed and Susan Ordemann with Kaitlin, the McCleskeys with Lizzie, Sam and Marilu Robinson, Charles Smith (Lynn was in Europe), Geoff and Holly Snodgrass, Wayne and Cintra Willcox, and Jan White (Chris was away) left festive footprints. So did Catherine's South Carolina uncle and aunts Whit and Anne Smith and Randa Edmunds with son-in-law John Jones.
At the party's end, more footprints came in the form of a spirited second line as the deb's pals jumped right behind the band, out the door, and into the street.

zip tie to antler. Poke hole in ear and zip tie if antlerless.
October 12, 2012, 01:28 AM
After losing a tag on a long drag, (and having to walk my backtrail with the warden to find it), I make sure it isn't getting ripped off.
October 12, 2012, 01:46 AM
I use either a zip tie or pipe cleaner twist tie type wires and cut a slit in the ear then after wireing it on I tuck it in the ear I to have had to back track to find as well that's why it goes in the ear.
October 12, 2012, 04:51 AM
South Dakota's tags are adhesive...you simply peel off the backing and wrap it around the rear leg of your kill
October 12, 2012, 06:53 AM
i stick the tag in an ear and wrap strong rubber bands around the ear to secure it.

Exactly what I do.
October 12, 2012, 10:32 AM
Ziptie to anter.
October 12, 2012, 11:08 AM
550 paraders and tie it to base of antler or poke a hole in an antler less deer and tie it very well.
Don'lose it.
October 12, 2012, 11:45 AM
Zip tie or bailing wire.
Just my .02,
October 12, 2012, 02:15 PM
Electrical tape to the leg or antler is the best way I've found. I've tried lots of different things and that seems to work best.
October 12, 2012, 02:26 PM
When I lived in NV, I didn't attach it until I got to my vehicle - walking back UP the mountain to find one that came off wasted a lot of time
October 12, 2012, 03:20 PM
zip tie to antler. Poke hole in ear and zip tie if antlerless.
Same here....unless I forget the cable-ties. Then I end up with one bootlace shorter than the other. :banghead: I too tuck the tag into the ear for the long drag back. If the animal is going on the cargo carrier before being registered, I'll cable tie the ear shut so the wind don't take it off on the way to the registration station. I too would wait till I got back to the truck to tag if I could, but Wisconsin requires you tag the deer before moving or field dressing.

October 12, 2012, 03:32 PM
I`ve stuck then in the ear. Rolled up and stuck up the nose. Tied at base of antler. If your dragging in a lot of brush, you have to be creative. As in do what you have too. :)

Like this..............They are sticky & tough, a knife is the only way it is coming off.

Thanks everybody! Didn't need to attach one today unfortunately!
Tom, ours here aren't adhesive. Just a square piece of paper. that's why I wasn't sure.
October 13, 2012, 01:28 AM
We don't have to mess with that in Virginia. We simply fill out a notch on our license itself. And then once we get home, or somewhere we can get cell/internet reception, we call it in and write the check in number on the notched space on our license.

Here in Alabama we don't have to fool with tags or with checking our deer in anywhere. Our bow season opens in mid October, gun season in mid November and they run through January. The limit is two a day, one of which can be a buck. There is a season limit of three bucks. If we kill a buck we are supposed to record it on our license but I have never been checked by anybody to see if I have.

Here in Kansas I snap a photo of the deer with my cell phone and forward it to the optional KDWP check in. Then the tag is filled out and zip-tied to an antler or ear if a very short drag. Otherwise the tag is filled out and remains in my pocket until I reach the truck. I have talked with several game wardens and all seemed to have no problem with the practice. Main thing is making sure the tag is filled out in ink and is no way usable again.

Wouldn't it be quicker just to use it as patching for a ball and imbed it?
All kidding aside, I usually poke a hole through an ear or leg (between radius and ulna) and tie it on. Since Ohio no longer requires licenses to be visible on the hunter, I'm considering using it to "safety pin" the tag to the deer this year.
October 13, 2012, 01:53 PM
I run the zip tie through the hole of the tag, then wrap the tag around the antler and use the zip tie to secure the tag to the antler.
October 14, 2012, 10:39 AM
I roll the tag up, put it in the spent shell, and stick it as far in the ear as I can.
October 14, 2012, 10:48 AM
Georgia did away with tags. You just pull out your license and record the date you killed the deer along with a little more info.
October 14, 2012, 12:51 PM
zip tie to antler. Poke hole in ear and zip tie if antlerless.
October 14, 2012, 01:15 PM
Lots of electrical tape around a leg or an antler if i bone it out.
October 15, 2012, 12:06 AM
I used to use #14 copper wire from a piece of romex--thru the hole in the tag to an antler---would do this back at camp. Always hung the deer where it could be seen---we always had people that liked to hunt for your deer---they were too lazy to shoot their own. When they changed the law that you could not bring any type of weapon into a bar---the criminal had an early Christmas. One year one of the guys tied his dog in the back of his rig--he was afraid dog would scratch the seats---we lost 3 fine hunting rifles to the Christmas shoppers.------------------------:fire::fire::fire:

If we kill a buck we are supposed to record it on our license but I have never been checked by anybody to see if I have. This was the violation that got the most citations the first year it was implemented. At a gathering spot located among several hunting clubs in Perry County,Alabama (of which I was a member of one) game wardens just sat and waited as hunters arrived to show their success. Hardly anyone had filled out their license resulting in a $200 fine for each violation(the kill must be recorded on the license before moving the animal). It is now illegal to hunt deer without a pen or pencil in your possession.
October 15, 2012, 12:42 AM
Cut a slit in the ear and stick a twistie through the hole.

I didn't say that I don't fill out my harvest record. I do. (BTW, I leave a pen in each of my shooting houses just in case I forget to take one with me when I go hunting.) I just have never been checked in the six years that I have deer hunted in Alabama. Due to the geography of the situation where I hunt, there are two chances that I would ever be checked where I hunt, slim and none. I think I would be more likely to be checked when I take the deer to the processor. As stated above the warden could just sit there and check to see if the hunters have a filled out harvest record on them. I have killed and taken to the processor 13 deer over the past six seasons and never been checked anywhere.
October 18, 2012, 07:44 PM
never been checked anywhere.
This is like jury duty. Some folks never get called,some get called a lot. It's also like "Candid Camera"....when you least expect it......
October 18, 2012, 07:54 PM
Slit the ear and use a wire tie. I have to fill out my tag before moving the animal as well. Some Wardens will get on you for taking pictures before tagging the animal.

In Fla. no tags, no paperwork. Limit is 2/day but it may as well be 50/day since there are not that many deer.
October 18, 2012, 09:31 PM
I stick it in a sandwich bag and secure it against a leg with tape.
October 18, 2012, 10:11 PM
zip tie, or stick it in the ear.
October 25, 2012, 04:58 PM
safety pin through the ear
October 25, 2012, 06:46 PM
i stick it in the ear and zip tie it shut
October 25, 2012, 10:06 PM
Zip ties. Once I forgot them and had to use my own boot laces.
October 25, 2012, 11:19 PM
I use a 3/8" drive Black and Decker cordless driver and a 2 1/2 galvanized deck screw. Oh, wait, that's my dentist. :-\
A zip tie works dandy to wrap the tag around an antler or foreleg.
October 27, 2012, 04:32 PM
I keep some twisty ties in my hunting vest and usually attach to an antler (or ear if it is a doe). If you drag your deer out, I would suggest you keep an eye on that tag. Where I hunt, there isn't anyone around and I don't even attach the tag until I get to my truck. I don't want to loose it.
October 28, 2012, 10:01 PM
Electrical tape to antler or foreleg.
Around here, we cut out a date on our tags. As long as the date is cut out immediately upon kill, the game wardens around here won't cite you unless you actually transport the animal in a vehicle without the tag attached.
November 6, 2012, 06:43 PM
Electrical tape on antlers or zip tie on ear on the doe's.
November 6, 2012, 10:37 PM
Anterless, I cut a slit in the ear and zip tie it. On antlered sometimes I used rubber bands around one of the tines.
I always make sure it is on good after almost getting a ticket for not having one on while dragging. I guess the game warden felt bad after seeing how far I had drug the deer and let me off with a warning.
November 7, 2012, 10:49 AM
Thought this might be useful as it has not yet been mentioned. A few years ago a friend was hunting a WMA with some buddies. He killed a nice buck, but had to leave the deer in the area for a reason that I can't remember. When he got back with his friends to retrieve the deer it had been taken although he had made his best efforts to hide it. A short time later my friend was at the checking station with a deer one of his friends killed. He saw a guy checking in a deer that looked a lot like the one that he had killed. He pulled the officer working the station over to the side and asked him to check in the deer's mouth where he had placed his kill tag in a ziplock bag. Sure enough his kill tag was in the deer's mouth, he got his deer back and the guy that had tried to check it in got a variety of violations from the game warden. So, if you have to leave your deer unattended for a little while this might be a good way to cover yourself.

Electrical tape.

February 4, 2014
February 4–A recent American Medical Association report said more than 30 million Americans have chronic lung disease, and of those, an estimated 800,000 – 1,000,000 Americans require home therapy involving breathing medical oxygen.
Now, there's more good news for airline passengers who need to use portable oxygen. The Federal Aviation Administration has approved three more portable oxygen concentrator models for use aboard airplanes, bringing the total number of approved units to 23.
The newly authorized devices are the SeQual Technologies eQuinox (Model 4000), Oxywell (Model 4000), and the VBOX Inc. Trooper. The SeQual units are actually the same unit; the Oxywell is marketed in Japan.
Portable oxygen concentrators are small, portable devices that separate oxygen from nitrogen and other gases in the air and provide oxygen to users at greater than 90 percent concentration. They do not use compressed or liquid oxygen, which the government classifies as hazardous materials and does not allow in airline passenger cabins.
The Department of Transportation requires that U.S. airlines and foreign air carriers flying into the United States allow passengers to use portable oxygen concentrators approved by the FAA during all phases of a flight if the unit displays a manufacturer's label that indicates it meets FAA requirements for portable medical electronic devices. The Department strongly encourages airlines to voluntarily allow the inflight use of oxygen concentrators even if not labeled as FAA-approved because they pose no safety danger.
Passengers must ensure the unit is in good working order and must be able to respond to the unit's warning alarms. They must protect extra batteries in carry-on baggage from short circuits and physical damage. The unit must be properly stowed when not in use. Carriers also must let passengers operate these FAA-approved concentrators while moving about the cabin whenever the captain turns off the "Fasten Seat Belt" sign.
The FAA is pursuing performance-based standards that will apply to all oxygen concentrator manufacturers and models. The agency intends to publish a notice in the Federal Register and offer the public a chance to comment on the proposal when it is complete.
The FAA previously approved these portable oxygen concentrators for use:

Alfred Edward Rancke passed away at home with his family by his side on Feb. 11, 2013.
Alfred was born in New York City on Sept. 14, 1921 and lived in New York City during his early years. He served his country in the Marine Corps during WWII in the Pacific Theater and in China.
Alfred graduated from Yale in 1947 and later earned an MBA from The Stern School of business at NYU. He married his beloved wife, Barbara, in 1948 and moved to Chicago for 14 years. Upon being transferred east, the Ranckes settled in Summit for the next 52 years. He spent many years with Englehart Industries and later as president of Stayne Medical. Before retirement he spent many years as a real estate broker in the Summit area.
Alfred served his community extensively through numerous civic organizations including the Summit YMCA, the SHIP program, and past local chair of the United Way Fund. His dedication to Central Presbyterian Church was an expression of his deep faith. Al served as an elder, deacon, member of the Stephens Ministry and on the Board of Trustees.
Alfred was predeceased by his beloved wife, Barbara, in 2010 after 62 years of marriage; and his son, Todd in 2001.
He is survived by his three daughters and their husbands, Barbara and Gene Speni, Pam and Steve Schroeder and Cindy and Bob Bienemann. Al was a loving granddad to his 14 grandchildren and his six great-grandchildren. He lived his life as a true gentleman, one of integrity and of deep faith. Al was dearly loved by his family and his kindness and love for them knew no bounds.

Wow, The Fray is being featured on Adobe's site, congrats to Derek. I find this quote from the review kind of funny: 'Literary ability may not be crucial to getting a story published on the Fray, but honesty is.' I've always thought the stories were very well written, guess I'm worse of a writer than I thought.
Holy crap! Check out Adobe's new redesign.
Holy crap! Check out Adobe's new redesign. I love the dhtml, it looks a lot like a flash-based site, but without requiring a plugin. Although their sloppy coding creates a sideways scrollbar when they don't really need one. I like the navigation and love how selected areas "pop out" of the nav bar to indicate where you are in the site.

I was a member of a household that abandoned me for no good reason (sigh). I don't know what I ever did wrong (tears in eyes)!!! I ended up in a field near a post office, where I cried constantly every night. The other cats in the field were accustomed to living outdoors and were very unfriendly to me. I didn't belong there , but had nowhere else to go. There was this nice man who used to come every evening and leave food for all the cats and ducks in that area. He never saw me because I used to hide in the bushes while watching him during feeding. One night, I was determined to make my move! While he was sitting on the curb feeding the other cats, I ran to him and furiously continued to rub my face against his arm while purring loudly. I wouldn't stop. The man was startled because the other cats would never do such a thing, even though they all knew him and liked him. He left, but returned the very next night. Again, I ran to the nice man and continued to rub my face against his arm. This time, he took out a cat carrier. At first I was unsure, but I was worried that this might be my last chance. He picked me up, put me in the carrier, and we drove to his house. The rest is history. I was lucky to find him. I have a wonderful home with lots of love. I know that my new owner will never abandon me, as he is very devoted to me

With bright eyes gleaming, fur shining and whiskers twitching, gerbils bring a smile to the face of every observer. The fun only starts there, for gerbils are among the friendliest and easiest-to-care-for small animal pets. While every "pocket pet" has its charms, gerbils have a lot to offer the small animal lover. By the end of this article, see if you too decide that you simply "gotta get a gerbil!"
Gerbil Basics All pet gerbils available in the United States today are members of the species Meriones unguiculatus, or "clawed warrior." The reference to claws won't surprise anyone who has seen an adorable gerbil standing up in its classic prairie-dog style, looking around with its tiny clawed paws tucked up into its chest. But you might be puzzled about how this gentle creature earned the name warrior. It refers to gerbils' strong territorial instincts, which are vividly on display among wild gerbils in their native Mongolia.
In the wild, gerbils live in nuclear families — a mother, a father and several generations of young (called pups) that share a large, multi-entrance burrow. Strangers are promptly chased out of a territory by the dominant male.

Jay Electronica Raps, Likes NasTuesday, November 4th, 2008
Jay Electronica – "Exhibit A (Transformations) (Final Clean)"
from Fresh Cuts Vol. 3: Music By Guitar Center Employeees (Guitar Center? 2008)
Update: Final mix is up there now. Beat has a fuller/cleaner sound that one might expect from JB.
My favorite backpack rapper with my least favorite rap name returns after an extended hiatus. It's probably smart of Jay, in an era of drop-a-freestyle-to-the-blogs-every-six-minute inbox cloggers, to be so conservative in what he releases. I'm pretty sure this track is the only official track we've heard from him since his press buzz really starting bubbling and he delayed (aborted?) the Act 3 ep that was scheduled for last xmas.
He could probably relax the Nas fetish just a little bit (Lil' Elt, on the other hand…), but otherwise this is real solid. Just Blaze is on the boards for this and its a surprisingly mellow affair. I was hoping something closer to "I'm Talking To You" for their first collab but I'll take this over that old "Numa Numa" bullshit any day.

Bluetooth and 90m reach? Probably only in lab conditions with ideal setup. Most likely not even there ;-)
Why they didn't opt for wifi is one of those cases of brain fart of epic proportions.
They are confident that it will work with my camera? I would be confident if they had tested it, and give a table of cameras that it will work with!
Thanks for the comments everyone! FYI: BluetoothLE (used in the remote) has nothing to do with traditional Bluetooth aside from the logo. For remote control, it's a much improved technology. We've regularly seen 100 meter range in real world conditions, and the extremely low power consumption gives us months of battery life (unachievable with WiFi).

WELLSVILLE - A fire that began in an abandoned home spread to three other structures early Wednesday morning, leaving one village resident homeless and possibly claiming the lives of numerous pets.
The blaze started in a vacant residence at 323 11th St., shortly before 1:30 a.m., according to Acting Fire Chief Dave Lloyd. Several units from Wellsville responded within minutes and found the house fully involved, with flames spreading to the neighboring homes on either side: 321 11th St. and 1030 Commerce St., at the corner of 11th. Fire had also spread to a third structure, a garage behind 323 11th St., with apartments on the second floor. It too was unoccupied.
The house at 323 11th St. was reduced to rubble before the flames were brought under control around 4:30 a.m. The three surrounding structures remain standing, but sustained heavy damage and are most likely complete losses, Lloyd says. "It was a bad location with everything being built up in close proximity like it is," he said.

A pile of charred rubble is all that remains of 323 11th St. in Wellsville, which caught fire shortly before 1:30 a.m. Wednesday. The blaze spread to neighboring structures on either side and behind it, all of which are likely total losses. There were no injuries, though one man is homeless and several pets are feared to have died.
The house at 1030 Commerce St., is owned by Kristal Surace, who said she and her three children moved out of the residence in July. It was vacant at the time of the fire and empty of belongings, save for "a few items I didn't get a chance to get out," she said.
Not so fortunate is Charles Harrison, who lived in the house on the other side, at 321 11th St. According to witnesses, he was able to rescue his two dogs from the inferno. Several cats remain unaccounted for, however, and are presumed to have perished. Like 1030 Commerce St., his home is uninhabitable now, and Harrison will be staying with a friend.
Lloyd says the house adjacent to the blaze on Commerce Street was sprayed down to keep the flames from spreading any farther. However, a house across 11th Street suffered damage when its vinyl siding was melted by the intense heat of the blaze. Lloyd reported a pair of cars parked at the curb nearby also received heat damage, one of which was still there Wednesday afternoon.
Wellsville firefighters were joined by crews from Highlandtown and Liverpool Township departments. Tri-County paramedics also provided support at the scene, though no injuries were reported.
Lloyd says neither gas nor electric utilities were hooked up at the vacant house at the time, meaning an accidental ignition by either means is unlikely. "It's not going to start on its own," he said. "Something had to be the initial ignition." An investigator from the state fire marshal's office was at the scene on Wednesday to survey the damage for clues, with an official cause yet to be determined.

The act of getting too drunk and trying to tell people how drunk you by using the word either smashed or hammered. But seeing that your so drunk you can't talk, in the middle of your sentence you get real confused and the word "schmammered" slurringly comes out of your mouth.
Amanda put down her drink, looked me in the eyes, got real excited and said, "Schmaynard, I'm Schmammered."

Can you define these popular missing words?
The mix between shit faced and hammered.
schmammered to be extremely drunk or intoxicated.

You know when you're hammered and you see another person stumbling around...and you say to yourself "THAT guy's drunk!". That's Schmammered
Drunk enough to screw your European roommate. maybe even the Russian one too

The overall, intoxicated feeling obtained after consuming mass amounts of alcohol and marijuana. Consumption can be from waterbongs, joints, shotguns, beer-pong games, blunts, bowls, beer drinking games, and sack races (etc).
Last night there were so many smokes and brews headed around. I was too schmammered to remember what went on. I just remember it was awesome!

I don't think it's a nice idea to change/double the key size which
the user selected.
Anyway, I have to admit I didn't aware of that Kconfig suggestion.
I have to make a careful study to it.
It would be very nice to offer the user the option to choose the
cipher and all the options related to it separately.
1) algorithm -> AES, Blowfish etc.
2) mode of operation -> CBC, LRW, XTS etc.
3) key size -> 128, 192, 256, 384, 512 (based on the selected
4) IV algorithm -> plain, essiv, benbi (only for LRW)
5) ivmode (only for CBC) -> sha1, sha256, sha512
But probably it is difficult to realize and in practice not so
So the best way is to offer only few predefined possibilities,
which nowdays are considered secure.
I suggest:
- aes-cbc-essiv:sha1 (with various keysize)
- aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 (with various keysize)
- aes-cbc-essiv:sha512 (with various keysize)
- aes-xts-plain (with various keysize)
The default choice would be the last one.

In fact no, as I stated just few lines before.
P.S.: why version 36 is not in testing?

After making like Sinatra on last year's hit It Had to Be You...The Great American Songbook, Rod Stewart is back with another collection of standards, As Time Goes By...The Great American Songbook Volume II. We asked him to look back on a few of his own classics.
"MAGGIE MAY" "What makes that one so special is that it wasn't supposed to be on [Every Picture Tells a Story]. But because we were short a track we put it on at the last minute. No one really believed in it, including me."
"EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY" "It's just the honesty of the song. That's an important thing when laying down tracks. I don't think I ever sat down and thought, 1 have to write a hit.' Things just come out that way."
"TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT" "I recorded that down in Mussel Shoals in some pretty good sessions. It's just the melody with that one. That's what makes them hits."
"YOUNG TURKS" "I often have a title in my head. If I come across a few words that I think will make a cute title and grab your attention, then I write a song around it. That's what I did with 'Young Turks' "

The Father of the Theory of Man-Made Global Warming Says Obama Did Bad In Debate Because of High Altitude

Washington State Nickname
The Evergreen State
(Coloring Page)
On November 11, 1889, Washington became the 42nd state to enter the Union. It is the only state named for a president. Washington was nicknamed "The Evergreen State" by C.T. Conover, pioneer Seattle realtor and historian, for its abundant evergreen forests. The nickname was adopted by the Legislature in February, 1893.

WASHINGTON (AP) - For his opponents, the silver lining to George W. Bush's record-setting fund raising is that their presidential campaigns will get taxpayer aid faster.
Bush, who raised $37 million through midyear - more than all the other Republican primary candidates combined - decided to forgo federal matching funds to avoid spending limits tied to them.
That means more money for the rest of the field. The Federal Election Commission now says it will have enough money to give the other Republican and Democratic primary candidates all of their matching funds by next July instead of making them wait until April 2001.
On Jan. 1, when the first payments are scheduled, the FEC will be able to give candidates 39 percent of the federal aid they are entitled to, rather than the 32 percent projected had Bush applied for a share. This means the candidates will have more money to spend as the first caucuses and primaries are held.
Without Bush, the FEC said it will have to pay out around $82 million in federal funds to presidential candidates instead of the $99 million originally expected.
The FEC doesn't have enough money to give out all the federal funds on time because fewer Americans are checking the box on their income tax returns that diverts $3 of their taxes to the presidential campaign fund.
Campaigns make up the difference by borrowing against expected federal funds.
To date, five candidates - Republicans Gary Bauer, Elizabeth Dole, John McCain and Dan Quayle and Democrat Bill Bradley - have qualified for matching funds. Vice President Al Gore also has said he will apply for matching funds.
Bauer, who is to receive at least $2.5 million in matching funds based on what the campaign has raised so far, can now expect around $975,000 on Jan. 1 rather than $800,000.
"It's a slight benefit," campaign manager Frank Cannon said. "The more that will be there Jan. 1, the better, because you won't have to carry interest."
Steve Forbes, who largely is paying for his campaign out of his pocket, is the only other major party candidate forgoing federal money.
The federal government matches the first $250 of individual contributions to candidates who agree to limit spending. Candidates become eligible for federal funding by raising at least $5,000 in 20 different states from individuals contributing no more than $250 each.
The system is separate from public funding of general election campaigns, which Bush still could accept if he becomes the nominee.

Wyandotte County District Attorney Jerome Gorman has filed a first-degree murder charge against a Kansas City, Kan., man in connection with a fatal crash that followed a police chase.
Christopher Bradley Stewart, 28, is accused of killing Graciela E. Olivas in a wreck late Monday.
Prosecutors said Stewart had been fleeing from police when he hit Olivas' car. Stewart is charged under a definition of murder that applies when an innocent person is killed during the commission of another crime.
Prosecutors said Stewart had been sought on an arrest warrant when he failed to appear for a hearing in an unrelated Wyandotte County case last month.
Stewart's bond has been set at $1 million. He is set to make his first court appearance on the murder charge on Friday.

In today's political environment, drug courts are preferred to incarceration. Almost no one - even Gov. Gary Johnson, I suspect - disagrees with that.
The fact that you, according to your July 11 editorial, consider drug courts and the governor's proposals to be mutually exclusive tells me you do not understand the governor.
The public has been conditioned to not distinguish the danger of the drug from the danger of its illegality. But there is a huge difference.
Our most striking example is the national prohibition of alcohol in the 1920s. Before Prohibition, we had alcoholism and saloons, with their attendant social ills. During Prohibition, we had alcoholism, the proliferation of speakeasies and increased teen-age drinking. We also had hundreds of thousands of deaths, blindings and paralyses from adulterated alcohol, rampant official corruption and lethal turf battles.
Our grandparents, who remembered life before Prohibition, decided the cure was worse than the disease and abandoned Prohibition. Not in the past 67 years has there been a serious proposal to return to national prohibition.
We need drug courts to ameliorate the abusive sentences, human waste and financial burden of the present system. We also need to understand that these drug courts are made necessary not by drugs themselves, but by our outlawing of them.
There is no popular substance so destructive that it cannot be made more so by outlawing it. That is the governor's message.
Palm Harbor, Fla.
Timing is everything
In your July 10 editorial comparing Gov. Gary Johnson's position on illegal drugs to Sen. Pete Domenici's, you state that "(O)ne side advocates the dangerous and illogical stance of drug legalization while the other supports a proactive stance to a possible solution."
Some people think that drug prohibition is dangerous and illogical, in the same way that alcohol prohibition 70 years ago was dangerous and illogical: It criminalized millions of Americans, corrupted police, gave rise to organized crime, increased underage usage, diminished our freedom, promoted disrespect for the law, made liquor purity questionable, and last but not least, did not curtail drinking.
If you still don't understand what's really at stake here, ask yourself this: What was your paper's editorial position on the Volstead Act and its subsequent repeal? Did your 1920s counterpart call for an end to Prohibition and the return of personal responsibility, or did he, like you do now, call the argument to end prohibition "dangerous and illogical"?
New Haven, Conn.
Out in the open
I never ceased to be amazed when an editorial such as "Which of these things is not like the other?" appears and expresses the opinion of someone who clearly has not researched the subject about which he writes. This one must have been concocted over a three-martini lunch.
Gov. Gary Johnson's position and that of the harm-reduction movement cannot be described simply as "legalization," which conjures images of a wide-open, unregulated market, much as we have today.
When the nation's headlines tell us of a raging AIDS epidemic, much of it driven by intravenous drug users; black market heroin ravaging our youth; the billions of hard-earned tax dollars being sent to further fuel a civil war in Colombia, which threatens the lives of American troops; and the hundreds of billions of dollars wasted on this experiment called the "war on drugs," here and abroad; surely a reasonable person must at least consider less harmful options.
Harm-reduction proponents believe that you can't control what you can't see. Bring the black market into the open and it can be controlled.
Under Gov. Johnson's plan, marijuana would be regulated and taxed. Produced by American farmers, it would provide a much-needed infusion of cash into our agricultural industry, instead of sending these hundreds of billions of dollars abroad, untaxed. This alone would decrease drug-war expenditures dramatically and consequently reduce the taxpayers' stake in this quixotic endeavor.
Honest, informed medical data would then drive the debate and policies would be pursued that reduce consumption of all harmful substances, prioritized by their true harm to society, not based on hysterical "drug war" propaganda, pork-barrel politics, money and racism.
Give the American people the facts and they will make the right decision, in spite of the government's smoke-and-mirrors propaganda campaigns.
Kremmling, Colo.
Zero tolerance amounts to nothing
In response to your July 10 editorial, how effective can drug courts be when they rely upon coercion?
In order for treatment to be truly effective - and not necessarily preceded by an arrest - legislators like Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., are going to have to tone down the "zero tolerance" rhetoric of the drug war. Zero tolerance attitudes discourage the type of honest discussion necessary to facilitate treatment.
Driving illicit drug addiction underground is counterproductive and only compounds the problem. Would alcoholics attend AA meetings if confessing to their illness was tantamount to confessing to criminal activity? Increased treatment options like drug courts are a step in the right direction, but until peace is declared in the failed drug war, the success of treatment will be limited.
Peace is precisely what New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson is advocating. His calls for marijuana legalization are not as illogical as one might think. Current drug policy is effectively a gateway drug policy. While there is nothing inherent in the marijuana plant that compels users to try harder drugs; its black market status puts users in contact with the criminals who push them.
Equally disturbing is the manner in which children have an easier time purchasing marijuana than beer. Drug dealers don't ID for age. As long as marijuana remains illegal, the established criminal distribution network will ensure that children sample every new poison concocted by drug pushers.
Given that marijuana is arguably safer than alcohol, why not end marijuana prohibition? The answer, of course, is culture. The marijuana leaf represents the counterculture to those Americans who would like to turn the clock back to the 1950s.
This misguided culture war has gone on long enough.
As counter-intuitive as it may seem, legalizing marijuana would both limit access and separate it from the hard drug markets which serve to introduce youth to the truly deadly drugs.

This is an absolutely delightful purse. Very interesting quilting design. Makes me think that I really should be more adventurous in my quilting.
Super cute! You're bag looks like the type of purse my daughter would make me spend serious money on. I love it and great job as usual Shoestring!
Very pretty! Love the color, material, design, stitching, everything!
