then she takes it when I am gone to school, and attempts to return it back to the store ! she accuses me of getting ripped off, and that stupid bitch wouldn't return it.

Students' Cloud Observations On-Line (S'COOL)
|Compare human recorded cloud data to NASA satellite data.
|Report cloud observations where you are.
Students' Cloud Observations On-Line (S'COOL) is a citizen science project in which volunteers make and report cloud observations from sites of their choosing, such as a field trip, vacation, or even a backyard. The project aims to collect data on cloud type, height, cover, and related conditions from all over the world. Observations are sent to NASA for comparison to similar information obtained from satellite.
Many people take for granted how powerful clouds are in our atmosphere. It is clouds, in part, that affect the overall temperature and energy balance of the Earth. The more that scientists know about clouds, the more they will know about our Earth as a system. The S'COOL observations help validate satellite data and give a more complete picture of clouds in the atmosphere and their interactions with other parts of the integrated global Earth system. Citizens benefit from their participation in a real-world science experiment and from their access to a variety of background material. Educational materials for teachers are also available.

Court Report
A grandfather accused of touching his 13-year old grand daughter in a sexual manner over a period of time, appeared yesterday in District Court, where he is charged with three felony charges and one misdemeanor.
To protect the minor victim, Samoa News is not identifying the defendant or the village where the alleged crime occurred.
The defendant is charged with one count each of sodomy — a class B felony punishable by five to 15 years; deviate sexual assault — a class C felony, punishable by up to seven years in jail, a $5,000 fine or both; and sexual abuse in the first degree — a class D felony, punishable by up to five years imprisonment, a $5,000 fine or both.
The grandfather is also charged with endangering the welfare of a child, a class A misdemeanor, punishable by imprisonment of up to one year, a fine of $1,000 or both.
Police investigated the case on Mar. 1 this year, and the victim told an investigator that she shares a bed with her grandfather. And starting December 2010, in their bed, the defendant began touching the victim in a sexual manner, the government alleges.
The victim also told police that since that day back in December, the defendant continued to touch her in the same sexual manner until February this year, the government alleges.
The government further claims that the victim told police that the touching began over her clothing but as time went on, the defendant started to touch her genitals under her clothes. The victim also told police that when the defendant touched her genitals, she was scared and would sometimes pretend to be asleep.
The victim eventually reported the matter to her school counselor, who questioned her about a prolonged absence from school. Not mentioned specifically in court documents is whether or not it was the school counselor who reported the matter to police.
Bail for the defendant is set at $30,000 and he returns today for another court hearing.
The High Court last Friday sentenced Siamupeni Lefaoseu to time already served after taking into consideration mitigating factors, which were in the defendant's favor.
Lefaoseu, 18, pled guilty recently under a plea agreement with the government to second degree assault in connection with the incident where he used a machete to attack another person, who was hit in the arm.
Prior to sentencing, both sides presented verbal sentencing recommendations and arguments, which were then taken into consideration by the court, in fashioning a sentence for the defendant, who spent about six weeks in pre trial confinement.
In a previous hearing for this case, the government stated that the defendant's family performed the traditional ceremony of seeking forgiveness (ifoga) to the victim's family, which was accepted. The government further states that the defendant's family was also penalized by the Faleniu Village Council because of the incident.
This information, along with the fact that the families of the defendant and the victim have mended fences and this case has come to a peaceful conclusion, was also a mitigating factor for the defendant.
The court also heard testimony from the victim, who stated that he has forgiven the defendant, who was then sentenced to three years probation. The six weeks in pre trial confinement was considered sufficient jail time.
One condition of probation is that the defendant attends and completes anger management counseling. He is also not to commit any crime during the probation period.
Court filings state that the defendant assaulted the victim with a machete after he learned the victim was one of the men who beat up the defendant's younger brother.
(Samoan version of this story is in Tala o Faamasinoga" in Le Lali section.)
The High Court has set June 15 as the sentencing date for Arthur 'Afa' Blake after he pled guilty yesterday to second degree assault, under a plea agreement with the government. The plea agreement was accepted by the court and the misdemeanor public peace disturbance charge was dismissed.
The charge against Blake stems from an incident in December 2010 in which the defendant tried to assault another person with a machete during a volleyball game. The defendant remains in custody unable to post bail.

text: I have been reading LLL Forums for 21 weeks now - thanks for all the great advice! Here's my thing, i have been back to work for 6 weeks. I saw a quick drop off in my supply, but have managed. I use More Milk and MM tea. When i pump, I usually have at least 4 let-downs (I fell in love with the pump, and we are breast friends!) BUT, I usually only get 2 to 3 oz total (both breasts). I compensate with 4 pumpings a day to equal the needed 2 bottles. I have adjusted to this, so of course there is a new hurdle. My LO is now biting me. She has always preferred the left breast, but is now biting righty and i have to battle her to start sucking. Also, she will not stay on either breast past the first let-down. I get that she prefers the quick/instant flow of the bottle, but it is messing with my already struggling supply! I try to pump after these feedings, but that isn't always possible. Any suggestions? I have been a "one-day-at-a-time" breastfeeder (still waiting to fall in love with it!)... this is wearing me down.

Early this year, a KGB spy turned academic named Igor Panarin received fifteen minutes of fame for declaring that the United States would break up into smaller countries in 2010. Unfortunately for Dr. Panarin, it is clear he did not take into account geography when dividing the United States. Having Kentucky align with the European Union, Utah with California and the People's Republic of China, and Georgia with Mexico makes no sense. At first I thought Panarin wanted revenge for the Ralph Peters maps but later interviews have revealed he is just a bad geographer.
Now the former Soviet Union propaganda newspaper of Pravda has taken a swing at dividing North America. This effort shows a bit more geographic knowledge of locations and ties but makes the critical mistake of thinking different societies cannot survive together in America.
Pravda's has divided North America into several states:
Republic of Alaska: Russian nationalism has lead Pravda to think Alaska would be a natural ally of Russia. This ignores most Alaskans are the descendants of American colonialists who see Russia as a competitor.
People's Democratic Republic of Western North America: Left Coast Hippies
Republica Del Norte: Pravda foresees Mexico taking back (and then some) America's southwest. A main question is would other Hispanics like Salvadorans go along with Mexican imperialism. At least Pravda realize Del Norte would be a corrupt oil state.
Soviet Zapatista Union: Southern Mexico is to gain independence from a Mexico more pleased with northern expansion.
New Mormon Zion Kingdom: Mormons are to unite and take over the Mountain West. This ignores the fact that less than half of Salt Lake City is Mormon and that all Mormons desire a return to theodemocracy.
Lakota Tribal Confederation: "Covering the ancestral lands, this traditional but libertarian loose confederation of Indian clans and whites who share their culture, has already declared its independence, making it official in 2008." By this they mean terrorist turned oddly Republican Russell Means and a few of his anti-Sioux Reservation government Indian pals. Plus, any one from this part of the country knows race relations between Whites and the former American Indian Movement terrorists is anything but well.
Republic of Texas: Required for any breakup of the United States scenario.
Confederate States of America: Ditto. However, now Blacks have the right to vote and are in positions of power.
Cuban Commonwealth: Cuba is to annex the "colonized" Florida Keys. Problems: 1) Little Havana is not in the Keys 2) Cubans in Florida are overwhelmingly anti-Castro 3) The Keys have a high proportion of homosexuals (something the Castros have historically hated).
New England Commonwealth: Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, and much of upstate New York, as well as Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward's Island. So welfare state meets fishing provinces who desperately need welfare. People's Democratic Republic of Western North America on the East Coast.
Republic of Quebec: Can the French hold back an alliance of English Canadians, immigrants, and American Indians who do not want a free French Quebec?
US Federal Government + Canada: Left overs.
Russia is hurting. There are several wars in the southeast where ethnic Muslim groups are fighting a civil war over independence. Ethnic Russians are dying off in droves without leaving enough children behind. Meanwhile, Whites in the United States are only keeping even. The big difference; however, is America can make more Americans. Race and ethnicity can be overcome if everyone agrees being American means holding the same ideals. Russia is stuck being an ethnic Empire. Jealousy is ugly.

Pravda's Prediction of a Broken Up United States

Indeed. Instead of contemplating a balkanized America (which will probably never happen, but it's still fun to speculate - I may put my idea up on my blog someday), perhaps the Russians should start imagining a Russia without Russians?
Makes a lot of sense.

Just wondering if anyone else has been getting prank calls from strange phone numbers. I got a call in the middle of the night from 774-828-368-6237. Because of the length of the number, I'm not able to block it using the "block voice" on sprint's web site. Appartently other people are having this same problem http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/7748283686237 and it seems to be only Sprint Iphone customers getting called from this number.
The other Iphone we have keeps getting calls from 865-6696. No area code on this one that once again cannot be blocked on the Sprint web site. Only 10 digit numbers can be blocked using the Sprint web site.
I called sprint customer service and they had no clue what to do and they said they could not block the numbers. After handing me off to 3 different agents they hung up on me?
Anyone else have this happening?
Sorry you are having this problem. The problem is the caller id is being spoofed by an application on the calling device.
With out the correct calling number we cannot block the service. We understand the frustration that this causes
I'm having the same issue, two days in a row
It seems to only happen with Private numbers they are ususally someone I know it just doesn't say private but has all of those numbers.
Good catch GEEKLADYMJAY, On the phones keypad 7748283686237 does correspond/spell out PRIVATENUMBER.
OOooooohhhh. Ok. So did you already know that or did you jusf figure that out. Good catch on your part Levi4u!
I am having the same problem with that number!! Did you figure how to make it stop calling?
It is not a prank caller it is the corresponding numbers to private number it is actually someone calling who has their number marked private so instead of it saying "Private Number" the phone key number's that correspond with "Private Number" comes up instead.
It is always someone I know when it comes up I always let it go to voice mail and it is always the same couple of people that I know with a private number.
I have been having this problem ever since I started using my iPhone. It's very annoying
"Unknown", "Restricted", and "Private Number" calls may not display correctly on UI during mobile terminated voice calls.
The following may be displayed: "7748283686237"
Sprint is currently aware of this and is investigating.
I'm having the exact same problem. My hubby's iPhone got the really long number and I get the 865-6696 at least 4 times a day 7 days a week. There has to be a way to find out who is behind it and get the number blocked.
8656696 Spells out Unknown. Any unidentified caller will show up as that number. In my experience Unknown numbers are usually the 800 numbers.
Yeah I figured that out immediately after posting. Ridiculous. There is an 877 number that calls sometimes immediately after the unknown but blocking that does nothing for the unknown. Landlines can block private callers cell phones should be able to as well.
I Have been having this problem ever since i got my iphone the next day i was getting private calls and what noT and so is my husband I go to say its annoying!!!!
Happening to me too! I get at least one telemarketing call per day now. I am on the "do not call" list but, it has not helped. When I block a number through the Sprint website it just disappears from the list the next day. Very irritating!

April 17, 2013 – EVP, Basketball Operations & GM Glen Grunwald announced that the team has signed C Earl Barron.
All these retirements, waives, signings ....awaited arrival of Chandler/Martin/Camby will it mess up our team chemistry? Too much changes within a week and the playoffs are this weekend...can Knicks hold it together? Celtics are a weak team and I don't expect any challenge from them, but my main concern is this team's preparation for the playoffs.
April 17, 2013 – EVP, Basketball Operations & GM Glen Grunwald announced that the team has signed C Earl Barron.
Earl Barron also had 17-point, 18-rebound game against the Boston Celtics.
Nice safe pickup...legit concern Metro..yet I think (rather hope) that being that the guys we picking up are not guys who demand the ball then we should be ok
Barron is insurance and likely won't be used! If he's been playing at all anywhere hE has the type of game that he can contribute with little need to mesh w team just like KMart...hustle players fit in right away...again he prob gets no minutes except for tonight against Hawks
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
Hey does this mean we are no longer oldest team in league or does the 40 year old Kidd still put us over the top?
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
its a good safe move. Barron can score inside and rebound and hey you never know he might get a few minutes here or there and he is insurance. Right now in theory the bigs we should ride with or Tyson, K-Mart, Camby, in the rotation game to game and then finally Barron if someone falls out of rotation.
Seems like their really concerned with Tyson holding up trough the Playoffs.
Funny, I mentioned him in one of the Salomon Jones threads and said Earl Barron was better. He's a servicable backup center and a decent move because he plays a position of need. You can only play 12 guys so if QRich and Barron can play I would not hesitate to deactivate Sheed, Camby and White if they show anything in the Thursday and Friday practices.
I mentioned Yi Jianlin, anyone think he would have been a better fit. He's in shape, played in China all year and wants to come back to the NBA. 7 footer that was a a flop 5th pick but is athletic and can shoot the J.
Last edited by tiger0330; Apr 17, 2013 at 14:34.
I suspect that the answer is that at that point they were still hoping Sheed could provide an offensive threat at the backup center position. Once it became clear that Sheed was not going to happen, Earl Barron was the better option to provide at least the potential of some points from the center position (or get the opposing center some fouls) without being a complete defensive liability. Camby is clearly the defensive center of last resort.
However, I do not agree with the post about the 8 man rotation. I expect both Novak and Copeland to get regular playoff minutes, so that still makes a 10 man rotation (Melo, JR, Tyson, KMart, Shump, Kidd, Felton, Prigioni, Cope, Novak) with Barron, Camby, Q, and White as the emergency subs, and Amar'e the X-factor returning at some point, most likely some time during the second round (if they make it there).
I feel good about everyone on that list except for Tyson, I am least sure about his status at this point.
I am expecting Shump and Copeland to surprise people with a large impact on these playoffs. I am also hoping that Kidd has been completely saving it up until now, and will emerge as a different player this weekend than we have seen so far this year. I am also hoping that Camby has one or two surprise games in him this post season.
You cannot sit a guy like copeland who has proven to be a legitimate scoring option all over the floor this year.
I believe it will rotate strongly as you stated, but with copeland and novak coming in for melo and k mart, with camby spelling chandler.
The thing I love the most about our team, is we don't ever seem afraid
Felton(even though I believe Prigioni would be better for defensive purposes and ball movement)
is the starting 5 I want
are the reserves I want to see in action.
its really up to how much Camby Chandler and K Mart heal up by Sat.
If STAT comes back later on and can give 10-20 efficent mins then that's gravy....but Chandler and Martin are essential to a deep run IMO. Camby coming back wouldn't hurt either.
Sent from my LG-P999
Finally a move I can understand and get behind. I'll always prefer younger players but all considered, this was a solid pickup. This dude was VERY GOOD here a couple of years ago. I haven't forgotten that...After that successful cup of coffee, I wanted him back actually. All I wanted here was a big with a clue and some skill, not some stiff. This guy fits the bill imo -- 7', rebounds, shoots it very well from mid-range (automatically becomes our best shooting big man), puts it on the floor a little... I like him. Plus he's been around the block and won't spook easy, which is the main quality the Knicks seem fixated on these days. I could see this guy definitely helping us if called upon. Nice move. Bravo.

FAQs about Peace Corps in Sierra Leone
|FAQs about Peace Corps
For information see Welcomebooks
- 1 How much luggage am I allowed to bring to Sierra Leone?
- 2 What is the electric current in Sierra Leone?
- 3 How much money should I bring?
- 4 When can I take vacation and have people visit me?
- 5 Will my belongings be covered by insurance?
- 6 Do I need an international driver's license?
- 7 What should I bring as gifts for Sierra Leone friends and my host family?
- 8 Where will my site assignment be when I finish training and how isolated will I be?
- 9 How can my family contact me in an emergency?
- 10 Can I call home from Sierra Leone?
- 11 Should I bring a cellular phone with me?
- 12 Will there be email and Internet access? Should I bring my computer?
How much luggage am I allowed to bring to Sierra Leone?
Most airlines have baggage size and weight limits and assess charges for transport of baggage that exceeds those limits. The Peace Corps has its own size and weight limits and will not pay the cost of transport for baggage that exceeds these limits. The Peace Corps' allowance is two checked pieces of luggage with combined dimensions of both pieces not to exceed 107 inches (length + width + height) and a carry-on bag with dimensions of no more than 45 inches. Checked baggage should not exceed 80 pounds [or 100 for countries with cold weather] total with a maximum weight of 50 pounds for any one bag.
Peace Corps Volunteers are not allowed to take pets, weapons, explosives, radio transmitters (shortwave radios are permitted), automobiles, or motorcycles to their overseas assignments. Do not pack flammable materials or liquids such as lighter fluid, cleaning solvents, hair spray, or aerosol containers. This is an important safety precaution.
What is the electric current in Sierra Leone?
There is alternating current (ac) with a nominal voltage of 230 and approximately 50 hertz. The frequency is not stable, so look into surge protection if possible. Type D and G plugs are used, so bring converters (and adapters) as needed.
How much money should I bring?
Volunteers are expected to live at the same level as the people in their community. You will be given a settling-in allowance and a monthly living allowance, which should cover your expenses. Often Volunteers wish to bring additional money for vacation travel to other countries. Credit cards and traveler's checks are preferable to cash. If you choose to bring extra money, bring the amount that will suit your own travel plans and needs.
When can I take vacation and have people visit me?
Each Volunteer accrues two vacation days per month of service (excluding training). Leave may not be taken during training, the first three months of service, or the last three months of service, except in conjunction with an authorized emergency leave. Family and friends are welcome to visit you after pre-service training and the first three months of service as long as their stay does not interfere with your work. Extended stays at your site are not encouraged and may require permission from your country director. The Peace Corps is not able to provide your visitors with visa, medical, or travel assistance.
Will my belongings be covered by insurance?
The Peace Corps does not provide insurance coverage for personal effects; Volunteers are ultimately responsible for the safekeeping of their personal belongings. However, you can purchase personal property insurance before you leave. If you wish, you may contact your own insurance company; additionally, insurance application forms will be provided, and we encourage you to consider them carefully. Volunteers should not ship or take valuable items overseas. Jewelry, watches, radios, cameras, and expensive appliances are subject to loss, theft, and breakage, and in many places, satisfactory maintenance and repair services are not available.
Do I need an international driver's license?
Volunteers in Sierra Leone do not need an international driver's license because they are prohibited from operating privately owned motorized vehicles. Most urban travel is by bus or taxi. Rural travel ranges from buses and minibuses to trucks, bicycles, and lots of walking. On very rare occasions, a Volunteer may be asked to drive a sponsor's vehicle, but this can occur only with prior written permission of the country director. Should this occur, the Volunteer may obtain a local driver's license. A U.S. driver's license will facilitate the process, so bring it with you just in case.
What should I bring as gifts for Sierra Leone friends and my host family?
This is not a requirement. A token of friendship is sufficient. Some gift suggestions include knickknacks for the house; pictures, books, or calendars of American scenes; souvenirs from your area; hard candies that will not melt or spoil; or photos to give away.
Where will my site assignment be when I finish training and how isolated will I be?
Peace Corps trainees are not assigned to individual sites until after they have completed pre-service training. This gives Peace Corps staff the opportunity to assess each trainee's technical and language skills prior to assigning sites, in addition to finalizing site selections with their ministry counterparts. If feasible, you may have the opportunity to provide input on your site preferences, including geographical location, distance from other Volunteers, and living conditions.
However, keep in mind that many factors influence the site selection process and that the Peace Corps cannot guarantee placement where you would ideally like to be. Most Volunteers live in small to medium sized towns or in rural villages and are usually within one hour from another Volunteer. Some sites require a 10- to 12-hour drive from the capital.
How can my family contact me in an emergency?
The Peace Corps' Office of Special Services provides assistance in handling emergencies affecting trainees and Volunteers or their families. Before leaving the United States, instruct your family to notify the Office of Special Services immediately if an emergency arises, such as a serious illness or death of a family member. During normal business hours, the number for the Office of Special Services is 800.424.8580; select option 2, then extension 1470. After normal business hours and on weekends and holidays, the Special Services duty officer can be reached at the above number. For nonemergency questions, your family can get information from your country desk staff at the Peace Corps by calling 800.424.8580.
Can I call home from Sierra Leone?
Phone service is not reliable, particularly in the interior of the country. Volunteers can call home fairly easily from larger towns, but it is expensive. Toll free numbers in the U.S. cannot be used in Sierra Leone. Usually Volunteers will schedule calls ahead of time and have the person in the U.S. call Sierra Leone. The Sierra Leone international dialing code is 232.
Should I bring a cellular phone with me?
Peace Corps/Sierra Leone will provide you with a cell phone soon after your arrival. Usage charges are based on the amount of minutes used. Phone scratch cards are sold for an average of Le 10,200 (2.50 USD) per card and these basic costs have been calculated into your living allowance. If you choose to bring another phone from the States, be sure it is multi-system and is "unlocked" or it will not work in Sierra Leone.
Will there be email and Internet access? Should I bring my computer?
The climate and environment in Sierra Leone are very hard on electrical equipment. Additionally, if you do bring a laptop or other electronic device, it will be difficult to keep it charged as the electricity in Sierra Leone is of poor quality and intermittent, if available at all. Electronic devices, especially computers, are also seen as valuable items and may increase the risk of theft.
There is Internet and email access at a few places in Freetown and other larger towns. You are free to bring a laptop, but be aware of the challenges.

The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Theater Review: Can S&M and feminism coexist?By Jim LowePhoto by Lindsay Raymondjack
Vanda (Deanna McGovern) and Thomas (Jordan Gullikson) share a moment in Vermont Stages Venus in Fur.
Venus in Fur is a most unusual romantic comedy, one that explores feminism, 19th century German literature, Greek mythology and S&M.
Vermont Stage opened a delicious and hilarious production of David Ives 2011 Broadway hit last week at Burlingtons FlynnSpace, one that defies virtually every politically correct precept while remaining decidedly a feminist black comedy.
Thomas, a playwright, is attempting to cast his new play and is totally exasperated. He has spent the day auditioning young actresses for the part of the regal Vanda in his adaptation of Leopold Ritter von Sacher-Masochs 1870 German novel Venus im Pelz (Venus in Furs).
As Thomas, on his cellphone to his fiancée, is about to call it a day, in barges a ditsy actress swearing, whining and making excuses for herself. Thomas attempts to eject her, but she insists on reading for the part she claims shes perfect for.
Vanda, as the actress calls herself, turns out to be right. Thomas is drawn in, so much so that he and Vanda begin living the play based on the book for which sexual masochism is named.
And its hilarious as each character loses control to the other in this sexual (though there is no sex) cat and mouse game.
At Fridays performance, the Vermont Stage production, directed by Artistic Director Cristina Alicea, was taut, tense, unexpected and deliciously funny.
Jordan Gullikson was most sympathetic, though he sounded a bit pedantic in the beginning, as Thomas, who thinks hes in control. Deanna McGovern was his perfect foil as Vanda, who goes from flighty actress to sophisticated dominatrix.
One of the most delicious moments Friday was when McGoverns Vanda the actress suddenly transformed herself into Vanda the German aristocrat. It was an oddly touching moment and truly beautiful.
Gullikson and McGovern interacted intimately and beautifully as their characters fought for domination. It was not only a lot of fun, and touching at moments, it brought new light into the battle of the sexes.
Blair Mielniks minimalist set, John Forbes effective but unobtrusive lighting, Catherine Vignes illustrative costumes and Martha Goodes sound design all contributed to this polished production.
Vermont Stages Venus Fur managed to be simultaneously challenging, unexpected and delightfully entertaining.

Ol' grit eye always strikes during demo derby season, really cheap beer and recycled jokes seems to be the cure for it, though we are still testing.
I remmeber my first time, oh the joy...
I dint have the internet to find a cure, let alone what the heck was wrong with me. I spent the night thinking I had vast amounts of grinded metal in my eyes. I was lucky, only lasted the night, and just about gone in the morning.
And yea, there was allot of laughing at my exspense the nest day from a buddy.
I can not believe that this is a topic for discussion guys! PROTECT YOUR EYES you do not get a seconnd chance
Zuker - this post really is about just that. The OP freely says he didn't do the smartest thing for his eye safety and is suffering the consequences.
Irelands child
i just read the first few posts to sorry if i am repeating anyone. you can buy industrial strength eye drops from most welding supplies that are made for welders flash and foreign objects in the eye. I have had welders flash before (I haven't ever had it so bad I had to take 3 days off from work but I have had my fair share of it. Don't use visine it just makes the burning worse. Next time anyone goes to the welding supply pick up a bottle of these and put them in the medicine cabinet. I always have a fresh bottle of these. If you have welded and your eyes feel sleepy in the next few hours, put the drops in. Visine is NOT for welders flash, any doctor will tell you that
The only place I have ever seen that you can get the right drops, was from a Doctor.. And now they won't prescribe it to you any more.. I have never seen a welding supply store that sell's the drops..
The only thing I know that does any good is pontocaine hydrochloride and it is prescription only, years ago it was easy to get but not anymore! I have been in many welding supplies and I have never seen drops of any kind for the eyes, not saying some don't have something but for sure it is not very common and CERTAINLY they won't have pontocain. In any case infection is the major danger and a severe flash burn should never be treated at home, while the vast majority of these burns are nothing more than a painful annoyance some are severe and can lead to serious problems. BE SAFE! Don't take a chance, if you get a flash burn let your doctor decide if it is serious or not and even if it is not antibiotics are going to be in order anyway to be safe and these definitely are going to be prescription only. Forget the home readies and see your doctor while you can still see!
http://www.airgas.com/browse/product...&WT.svl=400340 this is what we use at work for welder flash. These may not be a cure for welders flash but man they sure do help when you feel it coming on. If I feel it coming on (tired eyes) I place a few drops of these in each eye and they really do help. They are inexpensive insurance. They may not work if you have it really bad but I know they have saved me a few times.
Kind of expensive aren't they?
It would be cheaper to go to the doctor.
Ha, that's got to be a mistake. $1.523 for a case of 24 would be $63 a bottle. I can't believe a non-prescription eye drop could cost this much.
Just go to the doctor.
If you're burning your eyes often enough to buy a bottle of this stuff, you are doing something way wrong.
I burned my eyes once about 35 years ago and haven't done it since. Only one time did I think I was going to have a problem. My autodarkening hood was slowly crapping out and it took me a while to notice. But, I was lucky and I felt no effects. That thing went in the trash immediately.
you should look at that think a little closer, they are One Dollar and 50 Cents a piece. A case would be around 36 bucks. If you can go to the doctor for 36 bucks you should probably find another doctor or check to see if he even has a license to practice medicine.
Ok. Not used to seeing a 3rd digit for cents. That seems kind of wierd.
Still be safe and don't burn your eyes in the first place. If you do, (it should be a freak accident) see a doctor and make your workplace pay for it. You only get one set of eyes in life.
I'm lucky, it only cost me a $20 co-pay to see my doctor, $30 to see a specialist and $100 to go to emergency.
You know I just finished working in a high production welding shop. You welded all day(night in my case). I don't mean a few inches now and them. Often I went thru a full spool of .045 wire plus some or 15 pounds of TIG rod. You welded non stop as fast as possible with 200-300 amps. Sometimes even more. I did this day in and day out for weeks on end. Not once did I ever get weld burn in the eyes. I use an auto dark and often changed cover lens a couple times a night.
If you are getting your eyes burned because you are not correctly using a helmut you need a big kick in the rear end from your boss, a word lashing from your GF or DW, and chomp on the leg by your dog.
The same goes for not using saftey glasses and face shields. Just because they look gay doesn't mean you should risk eye damage by not using them. You would trade $10 for saftey glasses and $15 for a face shield for and eye or both eyes??? Come in my area with out them and you will be skidding out the door on your rear end.
There is absolutely no excuse for disregarding this saftey.
Most of the time when you get a flash,, It's not because of the things your doing wrong,, But more from the people welding besides you.. Most people that catch a flash is from the side, not always from the front.. Working in the shipyard over 20 + years I have seen my share of them...and the ones I did get was from the side..
we just got done erecting a building, 6 stories high completely welded together. Tubes as big a 8"x20". Working out of an aerial lift and crane basket and some extension ladder and scaffolding, when you have that new rod in the stinger sometimes you scratch the arc without even meaning to. I think a tig welder is the easiest to get it from, there is a whole different feeling to the eyes when you catch a glimpse of a tig welder. I agree with the previous post, I don't think I have ever gotten it while I was welding, usually it is when I have been working with someone else or working beside someone at a 4x8 table with. They do make small shade 5 and probably even darker screens that are very nice. I also agree with the safety glasses and face shields. I love face shields, we have them at work that clip right no our hard hats that are nice. What is more goofy looking safety glasses or a patch. There is no excuse for not wearing safety glasses, there are so many styles, shapes, colors, and they make prescription safety glasses and also overcasts for people with glasses. Sun glasses and reading glasses are not safety glasses. You can shoot through sunglasses and reading glasses with a bb gun, try that with a pair of safety glasses and you better have a pair on while doing it because the bb is coming back at you. We just had a safety meeting at work recently and they said if you lose your eyesight or your hearing it is gone forever. The worst part about safety in the work place is most employers provide safety equipment all you have to do is use it. Sorry for the long post guys.

Patient Centered CareObjective: The purpose of this study is to establish the baseline opinions and attitudes of Military Treatment Facility (MTF) providers and health care leaders regarding their understanding and support of principles of Patient Centered Care (PCC). This study will identify important factors of the MTF organizational environment, structural layout, and provide background and training that may be important indicators of and methods to improve the quality of health care such that it is consistent with recent Institute of Medicine objectives for patient centered approaches to health care delivery.
Results: This study developed a valid and reliable survey to examine clinicians' PCC attitudes and practices in military hospitals, and examine organizational factors that may affect them. On a 0-100 scale where 100 is the best: Adoption of PCC Attitudes = 80; Adoption of PCC Practices on Establishing a Therapeutic Alliance with Patients= 79; Adoption of PCC Practices on Shared Decision Making = 69; Absence of Management/Staffing Barriers to PCC = 54; and Absence of Military-Related Barriers to PCC = 78 in a sample of MTF providers (not nationally representative). Adjusting for service, duty status, profession, years in profession and gender the following comparisons were noted: Army vs. Air Force: No statistically significant differences on reported PCC attitudes or practices; Lower military-related barriers to PCC in Air Force than Army (6%); and No differences in reported management/staffing barriers to PCC; Active Duty vs. Civilian: Higher PCC practices related to establishing a therapeutic alliance and shared decision making among civilian than active duty clinicians (both 9%) and No differences in reported PCC attitudes or reported barriers to PCC; Registered Nurses vs. Attending Physicians: Higher PCC practices on shared decision making for MDs than RNs (13%); Lower management/staffing barriers to PCC for RNs than MDs (11%); and No differences in reported PCC attitudes or military-related barriers to PCC.

Please visit our University Relations webpage for more information regarding internship opportunities.
Game design positions are rarely available. Your best shot at becoming a game designer for Blizzard is to first get a job as a 3D level designer. Successful level design demonstrates many of the skills that are also needed for game design.
Blizzard map/level designers work on upcoming projects that require a wide range of 3D map-making skills. The best way to be considered for a level design position is to play a 3D game that has a map editor, such as StarCraft II or Warcraft III, and learn how to use that editor. You can then create some of your own levels using the various aspects of the editor, including terrain and triggers, and submit the map for consideration along with your resume.
Blizzard has several different programming positions available. Programmers are needed to work on Battle.net, individual games, 3D and graphics, tools, and other areas. All of these positions require an extensive understanding of C and C++. Once you have a solid foundation in this area, other skills can be acquired. Knowledge of probability, statistics, geometry, and other math sciences is helpful. Please refer to the jobs section of our website for further details on programming positions.
If you are not a United States citizen, you will need a work visa to work in the United States. A four-year degree and/or work experience can certainly help you acquire a work visa.

A leaner, but slower, JP Morgan
Sometimes a trip is more about the journey than the destination. For investors in JP Morgan Chase, that is unfortunately the case when considering its latest return target.
At its annual investor day Tuesday, JP Morgan said it is now targeting a range for return on tangible common equity of between 15% and 16%. That is down from last year's goal of 16%.
Granted, chief executive James Dimon had announced in December that the target would come down. And, if anything, the new range presented by finance chief Marianne Lake might be a relief. Dimon had offhandedly mentioned a target as low as 14.4%—adding "or whatever".
The trouble for investors lies in how the bank gets there. Its emphasis was on lower costs. That calls into question assumptions investors made last year—when pushing bank shares up sharply—that firms would soon benefit from a turn in the interest-rate cycle along with loan growth.
Indeed, Lake said Tuesday that JP Morgan would now look to drive its overhead ratio, measure of cost efficiency, to 55% from about 59% last year. The bank also said it would cut around 6,000 full-time and contractor jobs in its mortgage business and 2,000 jobs in branches and credit cards.
This partly reflects the continuing drop in mortgage originations due to higher interest rates. Saying mortgage volume is expected to decline 34% this year and stay flat next year, JP Morgan's top mortgage executive at least promised the bank was "not going to chase market share."
That is reassuring given the housing boom was fuelled by firms trying to maintain share by gutting underwriting standards. Still, it is a reminder that the quest for revenue growth at JP Morgan and peers may stay just that for some time—a quest.

This C list celebrity offspring was asked the other day about three scars on her body. She says they are burn marks from when her A list celebrity mother burned her with a crack pipe.

I hope she is getting help. SeriouslyReplyCancel
Damn Whitney
Crack is wack.ReplyCancel
OMG, that poor child.ReplyCancel
Ugh, ugh, ugh.
Mimosa time.ReplyCancel
I think this is foreshadowing that she is now on crack herself…ReplyCancel
I like how dew glistens in the sunlight. Especially those closeups, where you see the single pearl of dew on the tip of a petal.ReplyCancel
Could be true but not sure how much stock I put in that little trick's word.ReplyCancel
That poor child. She never stood a chance.
She should have been removed from them when she was little. Chronic crack heads have no business raising a child.
They never wanted to get better or change.
Tragic lives all round.
Its a shame and shes headed down the same road.ReplyCancel
intentionally burned? Is that what you're implying? I'm logging off.ReplyCancel
Urg, ask her when season 2 of Ned & Stacey is coming out on disc. This waiting be ridic.ReplyCancel
Whitney and Bobby B. did crack in front of Bobbi Kris. Matter of fact rumor has it, that Whitney and Bobby first met in rehab.
I would not be surprised if Whitney was doing drugs while she carried Bobbi Kris. Bobbi's new husband is an enabler who will allow her to get high whilst spending her inheritance.ReplyCancel
Whit just sat around all day smoking crack…her drug use started back in the 80's before Bobby…it got worse for both of them when they were together though & both of their careers tank, which was when the daughter was little…so not at all a surpriseReplyCancel
That is what pimps do. If they smack a ho around, then bitch can't earn. Who wants to hire a whore w/ a black eye and bruise? OK, besides me?
So instead they burn em on the ass, leg and back w/ hot crack pipe. It is a mind fuck too, because it fosters a love/hate relationship with the crack pipe.ReplyCancel
Whitney didn't smoke crack, she freebased coke. But really, that is like baking a cake from a box, instead of getting one store bought.ReplyCancel

BK is scary skinny and bad off now. I heard she was pawning things of her mom's in the ATL the last few months. Hope that part isn't true. But yeah. Whitney was on drugs pre Bobbay B. He was just her partner in crime, and enabler. A. Mess. I watched them film an episode of Being Bobby Brown, it was in my neighborhood. Had to watch from a distance thru white gates, Whitney never took off her ball cap and shades, Bpbby had fat stretch marks.ReplyCancel

State Superintendent celebrates success of 34 Illinois Honor Roll Schools in Southern Illinois
Annual list recognizes improving and high-performing schools across the state
MARION– Illinois State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch recognized 34 Southern Illinois Schools today for being named to the 2008 Illinois Honor Roll. The 34 schools honored for their achievement are from nine counties and 20 districts.

February 26, 2014 —
After weeks of being cooped up with the winter blues, I rejoined the world last week and ventured forth, thanks to Mother Nature's reprieve. Warmer temps and the recent snowmelt resulted in my feeling far less chicken about driving around the Upper Delaware River valley, so I spread my wings and flew to Callicoon, NY and a rare night out with like-minded folks. Repeated invites from WJFF station manager Adam Weinrich (www.wjffradio.org [2]) to participate in Trivia Night at Matthews on Main had languished because of the inclement weather, and with my "no-time-like-the-present" attitude, I seized the opportunity to grab gal-pal Ellany Gable, (www.honeyhillpottery.com [3]), fully prepared to mop up the floor with my vast knowledge of trivial pursuits. We had a blast, but I have never been so wrong, so much, in such a short amount of time. While it was great to be out (www.matthewsonmain.com [4]) and schmooze with Chef Matt and hostess-with-the-mostess Dominique, my ego took a beating in the brains department as Team Awesome took the honors, while Team Fox was chagrined. My partner was on point, but I was sorely lacking and dragged her down sufficiently to have us come in dead last. Little wonder that the others insisted we return on Thursday for another round and I will, if for no other reason than redemption. While Dominique played kissy-face with Dharma the Wonder Dog, I grabbed my camera and snapped the proprietors with two of the four 2013 Readers Choice "The Best" awards that Matthew's snagged recently. Good times.
Feathers slightly ruffled from my defeat, I decided to head off in a different direction on Saturday, having noted that my twitter account (@jonathanfoxIMHO) was burning up about the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance's (DVAA) opening reception for an exhibit of recent works by Helena Clare Pittman. Someone had tweeted that Pittman would be at the gallery (www.artsalliancesite.org [5]) in person to address the crowd as they flocked to Narrowsburg for the reception, so (Wonder Dog at my heels) I went. Having just read Tom Robbins' "Still Life with Woodpecker," it seemed like a natural progression to take in Pittman's show, which features 51 still-life paintings that, according to the artist, are the "result of an epiphany." Incorporating the works of masters who have inspired her during the course of her career, the artist explained that "the works in this show are concerned with color, light and composition" and that she was "intrigued" with infusing the works of Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Whistler and Degas (to name but a few) into her own unique, alluring paintings. The exhibit runs through March 15 and is a beautiful (IMHO) representation of Pittman's mastery with the brush.
On Sunday, I was thrilled to spot the first robins in the yard. Crowing with delight, I made a mental note to pick up a bird feeder while out and about and pecked at my breakfast while soothing the pup, deciding that she should stay home, rather than accompany me to "Little Sparrow and the Eagles" at the DVAA's Tusten Theatre. The band (www.facebook.com/pages/Little-Sparrow [6]) was in fine form (as always) warming up the sold-out crowd that had swarmed to Narrowsburg to hear lead vocalist Carol Smith join newly affianced Aldo Troiani, fiddler Lynn Reno and fellow musicians Fred Scholl and Lester Wilson deliver their toe tapping mix of bluegrass, '60s rock and Americana that never fails to please. Following Little Sparrow can be intimidating, but not for the likes of the Delaware Valley Raptor Center's Bill Streeter, (www.dvrconline.org [7]) whose live birds of prey demonstration and lecture were so captivating, fascinating, informative and entertaining, that I momentarily forgot that I'm terrified of birds. With more than 30 years of expertise, Streeter provides an amazing up-close and personal opportunity for his audience to learn about preservation, protection and rehabilitation of the majestic falcons, owls and eagles that grace the river region, thanks to the efforts of organizations like the DVRC. "New York is a major hawk flyway" Streeter reported, while handling a red-tail and explaining their habitat, history and factoids regarding mating habits and astounding abilities to hunt and fish in their environment. While the birds that Streeter has rescued (with the help of others) have been given sweet names, he is careful to instill a healthy respect for the magnificent creatures, while simultaneously entertaining kids and adults with cautionary tales about how society has impacted their environment. Like so many others, I was awed by the birds and learned a great deal, grateful for the experience, but still determined to keep my distance while attempting to capture their beauty with the camera. On my way home, I spotted two stunning bald eagles in flight over the Delaware, and my heart soared. Who gives a hoot? I do.

Protestors disrupt DRBC meeting
March 13, 2013 —
WEST TRENTON, NJ — A meeting of the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) was disrupted by a large group of protestors who sang and chanted and refused for a time to let the regular business of the commission take place. The protestors represented various environmental groups and said their number at the meeting was about 140.
Maya van Rossum, whose title is Delaware Riverkeeper, told the commissioners that the crowd was going to hold a spontaneous "people's hearing" on pipelines. The DRBC declared a recess and the crowd began singing "This Land is Your Land."
The DRBC then reopened the meeting and held a lengthy public hearing to allow the protestors to express their views. The aim of the protesters was to get tree clearing and other work halted, specifically on the loop around Milford, PA, part of the Northeast Upgrade Pipeline Project (NEUP), which would be used to transport gas from fields in the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania into New Jersey.
Van Rossum said, "The DRBC has the legal authority to review and approve the pipeline before it would be allowed to enter through or within any portion of the Delaware River watershed."
A post on the Delaware Riverkeeper Network website underscores that view. It says, "DRBC has the authority, right and, we believe, the obligation to reopen the very limited water withdrawal docket they issued for the Tennessee Gas Pipeline NEUP and require a cumulative analysis and public hearing before a docket and the project can go final."
But the DRBC sees it differently. The commission has determined that they do not have the authority to review pipeline plans except under a couple of limited circumstances, such as when a pipeline runs through a state forest.
According to a press release, the group's testimony from the unscheduled public hearing ran for more than two hours with the crowd "defying commands that they comply with a pre-determined order that they limit their comments to two minutes and speak from the front of the room at a microphone that the commissioners would turn off after each two-minute time."
When the testimony was over, van Rossum and others demanded that the DRBC take a vote on whether they would halt the pipeline. The commissioners declined to do so and, not being able to continue with any other business, the commissioners eventually left the building.

10 Years Later: A Look At Fort Drum's Role In Iraq War
This week marks ten years since the start of the war in Iraq - a war that demanded a lot from soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division.
Fort Drum's 10th Mountain Division answered the call early on.
Troops were responsible for securing airfields, building roads and training the Iraqi military in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
It wasn't without great sacrifice.
According to Fort Drum, 122 soldiers from the 10th Mountain Division were killed in action in Iraq.
In June 2010, soldiers from the division's 2nd Brigade Combat Team came home and were welcomed by Vice President Joe Biden.
They were the last Fort Drum soldiers in Iraq and by the end of 2011 all combat troops had left the country.
The end of operations in Iraq didn't mean a break for 10th Mountain Division soldiers; Fort Drum soldiers continue to deploy to Afghanistan.
The Iraq war left more than 4,000 American service members dead and 32,000 wounded.
More than 100,000 Iraqis also lost their lives.

Success Stories
/ Conservation on the Ground ... Grassland Reserve Program (GRP) in Kansas
Loading Tree...
Kansas has the finest, most productive native grassland in the world.
Kansas may also have the most conservation-conscious ranchers in the world, too. In the last few years, those ranchers have signed 40 USDA NRCS conservation easements that will protect 25,953 acres of the state's native grassland (see chart below). The easements are under the Grassland Reserve Program (GRP), a 2002/2008 Farm Bill program.
GRP and Kansas have been a perfect fit. Administered jointly by USDA's NRCS and Farm Service Agency, GRP is a voluntary program that offers landowners an opportunity to protect, restore, and enhance grassland on their property. Its primary purposes include preservation of native and naturalized grassland, support for grazing operations, protection from threat of conversion, and maintaining or improving plant and animal biodiversity. Landowners are required to follow a conservation plan, which allows for common grazing practices. Those plans are also designed to stop the spread of unwelcome invasive species, such as sericea lespedeza and cedar trees.
Maintaining healthy, productive native grassland is vital to Kansas. The state's $6 billion per year cattle industry depends, in part, on high quality forage. Scores of small, rural towns rely on profitable ranches for commerce. Native grasses also serve as critical habitat to the Greater Prairie Chicken, a species with a declining population. Moreover, Kansas ranchers are the sole stewards of the last vestige of America's rapidly declining tallgrass prairie.
The tallgrass prairie, and its rich diversity of plant and animal species, once cut a wide, 150-million acre swath across North America's midsection. Today, however, more than 90 percent has been converted to non-rangeland uses. Two-thirds of what remains of the prairie is in Kansas. And what remains of the Kansas tallgrass prairie is in jeopardy. Commuters from nearby urban areas (Wichita, Topeka, Manhattan, and Emporia), attracted to low land prices and scenic vistas, are eagerly staking 10- to 40-acre home plots. Industrial wind farm developers are also eyeing the rolling, wind swept prairie. Additionally, invasive species have been rapidly establishing their own niche where native grasses once thrived.
GRP conservation easements are one way to prevent the destruction of the Kansas prairie. And because Kansas ranchers have demonstrated a keen interest in the program, the prairie will forever remain a vital part of the state's economical and ecological heritage.

We love BostonApril 23,2013
Over the past week the world got a crash course in Boston and all it embodies, not just for Bostonians, but for the citys nearby friends, including Vermonters, who have many reasons to love the place.
For Vermonters, Boston provides a bracing dose of urban life cultured, brash, civilized, loud, sentimental, mean, beautiful, gritty. When a Vermonter arrives in Boston, city life comes in a rush of people, noise and traffic. We dont know where to look first at the graceful historic buildings or the coldly gleaming skyscrapers. Usually, the first thing we look for is a place to park.
Vermonters love Boston because its winter weather seems worse even than the weather of Vermont. Its cold is more raw, its snowstorms icier, windier, more brutal. And yet the spring and summer have a grace compounded by the loveliness of the city setting, its buildings, parks, trees. A walk along the Charles is not exactly a walk on the Long Trail. It has a different sort of charm.
Boston is the place where Vermonters take their kids to get a taste of the larger world. Often their destination is Fenway Park.
Vermonters love Fenway. They love the loud, obnoxious fans and the sagacious, thoughtful fans the kind whose cheering conveys a varied assortment of subtle and not so subtle emotions, including joy, relief, irony, justice achieved. Vermonters love Papi. Above all, Vermonters love Joe Castiglione, the voice of the Boston Red Sox, who is a sunny, knowledgeable, articulate, friendly presence throughout the spring and summer.
Vermonters appreciate Bostons place as the Athens of America, one of the nations cultural capitals. Emerson and Thoreau didnt live in Chattanooga (they lived in Concord, which counts as Greater Boston). The Atlantic Monthly originated in Boston. The city is a center of publishing and learning, and when Vermonters go down to Harvard or another of Bostons (or Cambridges) elite institutions, they feel they have arrived somewhere.
Vermonters know that Boston was a hotbed of abolitionism and appreciate it for that. Massachusetts was also the state that legalized gay marriage after Vermonters legalized civil unions.
Vermonters who want to hear the worlds best music can hear it in Boston.
In Boston Vermonters encounter the full force of ethnicity. Being Irish or Italian matters. Vermont has its ethnic enclaves in the Polish, French or Italian neighborhoods of miniature cities such as Rutland, Barre or Winooski. And the state increasingly serves as a melting pot for immigrants from Latin America, Africa and Asia. But its nothing like Boston, where dinner in the North End can be a gratifying visit to Italy in the neighborhood of Paul Revere.
Boston reveres its cops and the other working-class men and women who are the citys first responders. As the nation said thanks to the firefighters and others who gave so much after Sept. 11, we have learned to appreciate the service of all those guys in their bulky SWAT gear who found their man hiding in a boat Friday.
Vermonters are aware of the downside of Bostons toughness. We dont love the history of racial violence, the narrowness, the viciousness of those on the margins. Vermonters dont love Whitey Bulger. Of course, neither does Boston.
Vermonters are hockey players, and some of us love the Bruins, but some of us also like the Canadiens. Thats the way it goes.
For a taste of urban living, Vermonters can go to New York, which dwarfs Boston in many ways. Boston is not New York, and New York is not Boston. New York has many things, but it doesnt have the Common or the Public Garden, the North End, Back Bay, the Charles, Cambridge. It doesnt have the waitresses of Durgin Park. Above all it doesnt have Fenway.
Vermonters have long traveled to Boston to run in the Boston Marathon, and there were more than a few there last week. The rest of us understand and appreciate the glorious spring celebration that combines the marathon with Patriots Day. We watched from a distance as the city endured a terrible attack and its aftermath. It reaffirmed what many Vermonters have long felt but may never have said outright: Boston, we love you.MORE IN EditorialsProtesters converged on a bank in Montpelier early this week to show their solidarity with the...
