Comments about Educational Insights Safe 'n' Easy Paper Cutter:
This is the second one I have bought. The first one lasted for well over 5 years. I made the mistake of letting students use it unsupervised and they ruined it by trying to cut too much paper at once. It made the blade jump up onto the flat surface and gouged it. it wasn't the same after that even after the custodian tried to fix the gouge. But I loved it so much that I had to find the same thing.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Must have replacement blades
By Ellie

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Hi Ellie,We don't sell replacement blades, but they can be found at almost any hardware store. Look for an A4 rotary trimmer with reusable head.

I got my through [...] using my points and it worked great for the first few jobs but after that the self-sharpening blade began to rip and pull the paper and I had to reprint a lot. Don't buy it unless they change the blade design. Replacement blades I would be nice because I wouldn't have to go out and buy another cutter.
Merchant response: Thanks for the info Mr. B - we have shared the request for replacement blades with our team...

It has a dull blade and I can't fine a replacement blade. Otherwise, I love the size and cut.
Merchant response: Hi Carol, You can actually purchase a replacement blade at most office supply stores - it is a standard size. Let us know what you find!

Comments: This storage box is a nice upgrade from the plano 3505 spinner bait box. I've never like those boxes because the spinner baits are hard to get in and out without getting caught on each other, especially the blades, and the skirts get pulled up towards the lid instead of hanging freely. This box does not have those issues. Each bait snaps into its own spot and stays nice, neat, and organized and they don't get all discombobulated if the box gets turned upside down.It does not contain room for many buzz baits but i own only 3 so i have enough room.
From: Cameron: VA
Comments: Does not hold a wide variety of buzz baits well. anything with a 3 blade spinner wont work well and will not stay in place. holds spinner baits much better.

New Pueblo bishop ordained
Looking out into a sea of faces that included 50 or so family members and old friends and about 1,500 faithful from his new diocese, newly ordained Bishop Stephen J. Berg said he hasn't had much time to think about the "many changes coming about in my life that have yet to unfold."
"They gave me 45 minutes" to work on his ordination address, but he rushed off and left his notes at home.
So the soft-spoken Berg spoke off the cuff, and quite obviously from the heart.
"I belong to you," he told the standing-room-only crowd at Memorial Hall before singling out the smaller crowd seated just in front of him.
"What you see hereabout is much of my past and why I'm here," he said.
He said his parents sacrificed for him and each of his nine siblings, and offered a special thank you to his widowed mother Jeanne Berg.
"My thought process this past week had a lot to do with remembering, but most definitely, I'm here for the future and for Pueblo," Berg said.
He promised the priests of the sprawling diocese that he will get to know each of them and work with them to help the people they serve — some of them in six or eight parishes and mission churches without help.
And he thanked Denver Archbishop Samuel Aquila, Colorado Springs Bishop Michael Sheridan and "Bishop Uncle Joe" L. Charron, the bishop emeritus of Des Moines, Iowa, who ordained Berg in 1999, and who is the brother of Berg's mother.
The crowd chuckled as he addressed Bishop Carlo Maria Vigano, apostolic nuncio to the United States.
Berg said the two had spoken by phone about business in the Fort Worth (Texas) Diocese, where he was apostolic administrator until Vigano called him early on Jan. 15 to tell him he'd been named to be Pueblo's next bishop.
"I didn't know if you didn't like the things we were doing in Fort Worth," he said.
He definitely wasn't expecting the news that has totally reshaped the remainder of his life and career.
Following an ages-old ceremony punctuated with choral music and song in both English and Spanish, the crowd stood up and turned raucous when Berg made his way around the whole theater level of the hall following administration of the Eucharist with the help of many priests and deacons.
And finally, he asked for prayers — that he will come to know fully the needs of the people here and how to help meet them, and that he will be able to accomplish "on your behalf what will be asked of me. I need to learn and to grow, and listen to you. And I will.
"Thank you. God bless."

What Can A Digital Book Do That A Paper Book Can't? IDEO Has A Few Ideas!

I just saw this digital book idea IDEO on Mindbodygreen.com a few minutes ago. I checkup on that site once in a while, after talking with Jason Wachob, one of its founders on the phone a couple of weeks ago. If you haven't checked out their site yet, you should take a second to take a look. I guess I would describe the site as a modern urban NYC based spiritual living / lifestyle site.
Now about this digital book software. IDEO has a few idea's where this whole digital version of a book is going or at least where it could go. I am guessing Apple has a big say in the future of Books, just like they do in the music world. You know what I mean, the Apple iPad is blowing the doors off the competition and it wont be long before the ipad is the only book reader that matters. If Apples history is any indication what will happen next. I
Meet Nelson, Coupland, and Alice — the faces of tomorrow's book. Watch global design and innovation consultancy IDEO's vision for the future of the book. What new experiences might be created by linking diverse discussions, what additional value could be created by connected readers to one another, and what innovative ways we might use to tell our favorite stories and build community around books?

County gets grant for demolition of Sawyer buildings
K.I. SAWYER – The Marquette County Land Bank Authority has received preliminary approval for a $486,000 grant to demolish several multi-unit residential structures and garages at K.I. Sawyer.
Marquette County Treasurer Anne Giroux said the money would fund removal of 15 buildings and 21 garages which have been vacant since the U.S. Air Force Base closed at K.I. Sawyer in 1995.
Grant funding is available in Michigan through a 2012 Blight Elimination Program, which is the result of a lawsuit settlement with five of the country's largest mortgage service providers.
Of a total of $97.2 million allocated to Michigan, $25 million is being directed to blight elimination. Of that money, $10 million is slated for projects in the city of Detroit, with the remaining $15 million to be distributed the demolition projects in communities across the state.
Marquette County applied for $486,385 for the Sawyer project.
"That's the full amount that we asked for," Giroux said. "It's very exciting."
The city of Marquette and the land bank authority were seeking a $1 million grant to demolish the city's former Holy Cross Orphanage. Giroux said that grant request had not been approved.
Final grant approval for the Sawyer project is expected within 60 days of receipt of some additional information requested from the county, which is expected to be delivered this week, Giroux said. That information ranges from proof of ownership and photographs to an inspection report and information on previous site use and environmental conditions.
"It's nothing that I'm expecting any issues with," Giroux said.
After receiving the information, the Michigan Land Bank will complete a feasibility and budget analysis for the project.
The dilapidated structures at K.I. Sawyer A are expected to be foreclosed on April 1 at K.I. Sawyer for non-payment of property taxes. Those structures would be demolished this year and expected to take three to four months to raze. The buildings – which have been targeted by vandals and are in advanced disrepair – are located along Warhawk, Raider, Stratofort and Panther streets, near the Sawyer Elementary School.
Last November, the county board voted unanimously to approve a letter of support for the project. Pending the grant funding being awarded and the properties being foreclosed on, the county also approved exercising its option to purchase the parcels and transfer them to the authority.
A minimum bid of $88,782 will be offered by the county, which is the amount of the delinquent taxes on the properties. Funding for the purchase will be derived from the Marquette County Treasurer's Foreclosure Fund.
The demolition project is the latest attempt by the authority to renovate blighted properties across the county. Since its creation in 2009, the authority has marked several successes, including demolition of a school in west Ishpeming and redevelopment of several housing units.
Additional blight elimination grant recipients included $180,000 to the village of Newberry, $10,000 to the Houghton County Land Bank and $50,000 to Brevort Township.

Cloak & Dagger will take a walk back to the days of poodle skirts, doo-wop and horned-rim glasses.
Its latest production, Sock Hop Homicide, is a funny and warped melding of 1950s gumshoe detective dramas and outer space-themed B movies, said Steve Emerson, artistic director of the company.
The musical is set at a homecoming dance in 1953 at Mountain Valley High School.
"There are weird things happening -- strange lights in the sky, people are disappearing," Emerson said. "The teachers are dropping like flies."
Detective Max (played by Michael Galusick and Gavin Haab) turns up to investigate, aided by Julia June Dewlop (Angie Austin and Jocelyn Tannis), a high school student and amateur sleuth.
Emerson, who wrote the script, said he was partly inspired by 1950s: Building the American Dream, an exhibit at the Ohio Historical Society.
The Cloak & Dagger show also features 13 original songs. David Stone, lead singer in the local band Seasonal Help, is the show's music director.
Emerson said the two have worked on a couple of songs for more recent Cloak & Dagger productions, such as Spyballs: Death of a Secret Agent, Mayhem at the 5 Aces Casino and Brewlesque.
"I think he's interpreted the 1950s for a modern audience in a modern way, a funny way," Emerson said.
Doors open at 7 p.m. and shows start at 8 p.m. each Friday through Nov. 29 at Shanes Gourmet Catering, 447 E. Livingston Ave.
Admission is $49.13, which includes a buffet with a 1950s-style menu featuring items such as pot roast, meatless Johnny Marzetti, fried chicken and pie. For reservations, call 614-842-2583.
As always, audience participation is an integral part of the show.
Audience members are asked to don apparel of the era, enter a dance contest and help elect a homecoming king and queen.
There's even punch, which adults can have "spiked" with alcohol.
Emerson said it's a theme that resonates with the audiences of all ages.
"Everybody has that image of the '50s being all Leave it to Beaver," he said. "There is this sense everything was perfect.
"I think there was something bubbling under the surface," Emerson said.

The Wisdom of Hippie Dan - Page 6
Coming from the flatlands, I had to learn to run uphill. Sharpening that skill, I improved all my running. You can, too, with or without hills. Next time you're running, count the times your right foot strikes the ground in 20 seconds. Multiply by three and you'll have your stride rate per minute. (One stride equals two steps, so your steps per minute will be twice your stride rate.)
Now comes the good part: Speed up until you're running at 85 to 90 strides per minute. The most common mistake runners make is overstriding: taking slow, big steps, reaching far forward with the lead foot and landing on the heel. This means more time on the ground, which means the vulnerable heel hits the ground with more force on landing, creating more impact on the joints. Training at a stride rate of 85 to 90 is the quickest way to correct this problem. Short, light, quick steps will minimize impact force and keep you running longer, safer. It also will make you a more efficient runner. (Studies have shown that nearly all elite runners competing at distances between 3,000 meters and the marathon are running at 85 to 90-plus stride rates.)
I used to train runners with a metronome. Nowadays there are plenty of websites that list music by BPM (beats per minute)_—_try http://cycle.jog.fm/. Either 90 or 180 BPM songs will do the trick.

A THESIS Presented to the Department of English and the Clark Honors College of the University of Oregon in partial fulfillment of the requirements for degree of Bachelor of Arts, Spring 2008. Through the centuries, critics have struggled with the poetry of Andrew Marvell, using diverse frameworks to examine his work. In this thesis, three poems – "Upon the Death of the Lord Hastings," "Mourning," and "The Nymph Complaining for the Death of Her Fawn" – will be read as elegies in order to examine how Andrew Marvell treats the intersection of language and grief in the elegiac form. Traditionally, the elegy is meant first to praise and lament the deceased, and then to console the survivors. However, Marvell actually undermines the supposed power of the elegy to move the mourner beyond her grief. In the elegy for Hastings, the power of grief is such that it affects the immortality of poetic art; in "Mourning," both readers and poetic interpreters fail to find any significance in Clora's tears; and finally, in the "Nymph Complaining," Marvell links grief to poetry in an intricate, complex fashion, yet ultimately subordinates the survival of the living to the power of the dead. All told, Marvell exposes the elegy as a failed form, revealing that it does not (and indeed cannot) satisfactorily achieve its traditional goal of consoling the bereaved. 179712 bytes application/msword en_US Elegy Mourning Language Andrew Marvell Grief in literature Form Poetry English poetry -- Early modern, 1500-1700 -- History and criticism Marvell, Andrew, 1621-1678 Elegiac poetry "I shall weep though I be stone": Grief and Language in Andrew Marvell Thesis

About the Author: Melissa Carter is a Foreign Service Officer who recently served in the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration.
By the end of a recent work day, I found myself exhausted yet exhilarated. Despite some initial trepidation that my first tour in Washington with the Department of State would keep me behind a desk and glued to my inbox, I spent my day instead doing everything but warming my seat -- and I was thrilled to have no one to blame for it but myself!
I'm a first-tour Foreign Service Officer posted in Washington in the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) in the Office of Assistance for Asia and the Near East. Whittle this all down, and it means that I'm an assistance officer covering North Korean refugees. On my first day in the Bureau, almost one year ago, I wondered, "What does that even mean?" I've since learned it means that I (1) seek to fund programs to provide assistance to North Korean refugees; (2) monitor and evaluate those programs; (3) develop strategies to improve the protection of North Korean refugees and solutions for those in need; (4) draft policy recommendations for PRM's Assistant Secretary; (5) coordinate with other State Department bureaus and U.S. government agencies to advocate for humanitarian principles; and (6) when opportunity knocks to elevate these issues -- I take it!
Opportunity knocked for me back in August, when Barbara Demick, Beijing Bureau Chief for the Los Angeles Times won the prestigious Samuel Johnson award for non-fiction for her work on North Korean refugee issues and human rights. Ms. Demick's award-winning book, Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea, provided a rare look into one of the world's most isolated society. I remember thinking that it would be wonderful to have a chance to meet with her and discuss the book and her insights in depth. But, then it occurred to me that if I would find this beneficial, wouldn't others?
With the encouragement from an indispensible colleague in another bureau and the green light from my very supportive director and Bureau leadership, I began the daunting task of coordinating schedules and making logistical arrangements to bring Ms. Demick to Washington. And like many serendipitous ideas, the opportunities to build on the initial concept just kept snowballing and picking up speed until I suddenly found myself attending briefings on Capitol Hill, meetings with high-level State Department officials, and discussions with Washington's best North Korea watchers, analyzers, assistance providers, and policy makers.
It was gratifying to stand in the back of the reception room as PRM's Assistant Secretary Eric Schwartz delivered remarks confirming the U.S. government's commitment to continued assistance and support of North Korean refugees and encouraging others to consider new ways forward in this pursuit. But it was also satisfying to realize that I was working in a place where officers are empowered and supported by their leadership, colleagues are collaborative and engaged on their issues, and humanitarian principles are promoted and upheld.

About the Author: Ambassador Luis CdeBaca is a Senior Advisor to the Secretary of State and serves as the director of the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons, which assesses global trends, provides training and technical assistance, and advocates for an end to modern slavery.
Today, Secretary Clinton chaired the President's Interagency Task Force to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons at the Department of State. Although there have been yearly meetings of this entity that includes other members of the Cabinet, this is the first gathering under the Obama Administration.
She was joined by the Attorney General, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Secretary of Labor, the Director of National Intelligence, and the USAID Administrator. Representatives from the White House, the Department of Defense, the Department of Education, the Department of Agriculture, and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission also participated in the discussion.
Secretary Clinton, who has been engaged on this human security issue since the 1990s, has played a key role in bringing human trafficking to the forefront of United States policy. As First Lady, she was instrumental in the development of the three "P" approach -- prevention, protection, and prosecution -- to combat this scourge. In the Senate, she fought to get resources for the fight against modern slavery. As Secretary of State, she is paving a new path of engagement on this issue to ensure that every person realizes the Constitution's promise of freedom.
To put this issue into broader context, human trafficking has cross-cutting implications throughout U.S. Government policy. In order to ensure the Obama Administration's response and vision is realized, there is a great need for interagency cooperation. For example, the Department of Justice investigates, arrests, and prosecutes traffickers, working with the FBI and Department of Homeland Security to dismantle trafficking rings. The Department of Health and Human Services provides much-needed victim services. The United States Department of Agriculture and Department of Labor work to achieve slavery-free supply chains. This is an interactive web of ongoing work and today's meeting was an important way to coordinate the collective United States Government's effort against trafficking.
Combating trafficking has not only policy implications, but most importantly, real life ones. As the President said in Tokyo, a young girl should be respected not for her body, but for her ideas. And, men, women, and children alike should be respected for their ideas and contributions to society that freely allows them to pursue their hopes and dreams. The United States commits to building on global partnerships and to working across borders and barriers to confront the traffickers. Strengthening our partnerships within the United States and throughout the world is integral to making progress against modern slavery and today's discussion signified another step forward in our efforts to eradicate it once and for all.

Human Trafficking..A Cross-Cutting Issue...
Secretary Clinton is wise to join form an inter-agency Task Force on Human Trafficking(HT)...The growth of HT is a function of globalization and privatization and accelerates when there are natural or man-made disasters....The Justice Dept. and Transportation agencies should also have a seat on the Task Force.

If that were in place you might actually have as well a pool of pre-screened foster parents that State could contact if need arises as it has in Haiti.
In a situation where kids are separated from parents and the circumstance so dire that it calls for getting those that can't really fend for themselves out of harm's way then that pool becomes a static asset in place anytime disaster strikes, anywhere.
( inspired by the notion of a civilian response corps that never leaves home, but is always on call.)
A refuge of last resort perhaps when no better option exists, but at least it would be there when you really needed it.
State already has placement assistance for refugees in the US, and I'm thinking along those lines as to it's compatability with policy and procedure.
A million folks, maybe two living in tents and hurricane season is only a few months off...
We may have to move a lot of folks very quickly to safety before this is over and to where?
Up to this point, Gitmo has been a source of problematic press and and the intent is to close it down.
I suggest we give the Haitian government a 99 year lease on the place at 1 dollar per year US, and build on site to suit.
Add a trade school to train folks to rebuild their country.
Frankly I can't think of a better way to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, but it's the closest piece of real estate we could possibly donate as temp shelter.
I think it may be key to quicker recovery to take some strain off the crumbled infrastructure by moving the population that hasn't already been able to find secure shelter with family or friends outside the worst hit areas.
Those not immediately involved in aid and recovery should not be there any longer than possible as it begs a disease outbreak to have it otherwise for any length of time, and since folks are well aware of this most that could leave have left on thir own, but to inadequate shelter.
What we have is a case where you have to do both, deliver aid to the people and get people to shelter and medical facilities on an industrial scale.
So far it's been a pretty good effort despite some hang-ups and hat's off to all involved.
Wish I had a better idea to offer up, but as of now, I'm fresh out.
OysterCracker in California writes:
If children were given 'national treasure' status and given priority aid status in any conflict, disaster etc. it would help to protect them.
Robert in Missouri writes:
Please allow the Haitian authorities to handle the American Baptist missionaries in their own way. Intervening on their behalf contradicts the progress being made on human trafficking.

Three enter guilty pleas to meth charges
By LISA M. REED
Staff Writer
IRON MOUNTAIN – Pursuant to plea agreements, three area suspects have entered guilty pleas to felony methamphetamine charges.
Joshua David Goetteman, 34, of Kingsford, entered a guilty plea to maintaining a drug house and habitual offender, second offense notice.
The plea agreement calls for a charge of operating/maintaining a laboratory involving methamphetamine to be dismissed at sentencing and habitual offender, third offense be reduced to second.
Also recommended is credit for the successful completion of a residential substance abuse treatment program.
Goetteman entered the plea before Judge Richard Celello on Monday with his attorney Adam Kruppstadt of Iron Mountain.
According to the felony complaint, Goetteman allowed an individual to manufacture methamphetamine at his residence while he was present on two occasions between March 9-12.
Court records note he also admitted to traveling to Walmart during the early morning hours of March 12 to purchase a component, lighter fluid, which was used to manufacture a second batch of meth. He and others used meth at his residence during those dates.
Evidence seized by police on March 12 included a white powdery substance, which later tested positive for methamphetamine.
Goetteman was previously convicted of possession less than 25 grams in Dickinson County Circuit Court on July 21, 1999.
Erica Hommel, 32, of Niagara, Wis. also entered a guilty plea in Dickinson County Circuit Court.
The plea agreement calls for the charge against Hommel of operating/maintaining a laboratory involving methamphetamine to be reduced to attempted operating/maintaining a laboratory involving methamphetamine, and that Hommel be sentenced within the applicable guidelines.
Hommel admitted at arraignment that after meeting Chad Lessor, she purchased Sudafed at a local pharmacy between Nov. 11, 2012 and Feb. 19 of this year in exchange for methamphetamine.
Hommel is being represented by attorney Grant Carlson of Iron Mountain.
Lessor, 37, of Kingsford, pleaded guilty to delivery/manufacture of methamphetamine and breaking and entering a building with intent, as well as habitual offender, second offense notice.
Other charges against Lessor, which included three other counts of delivery/manufacture of controlled substance – methamphetamine and operating/maintaining a laboratory involving methamphetamine, will be dismissed, pursuit to the plea agreement.
A 60-month maximum minimum prison sentencing is being recommended for Lessor as part of the plea agreement.
Lessor was previously convicted of attempted resisting and obstructing a police officer in Dickinson County District Court on Oct. 3, 2000.
Judge Celello set sentencing in each of the cases for Aug. 26 at 9 a.m.

Sun Valley
Lately I seem to be on the road all the time. But the good part of it is that I seem to be going to wonderful places. Today I am in Sun Valley, Idaho, at the very luxurious Sun Valley Lodge...I took this photo just down the hall..
..and the hall itself is lined with photos of famous skiers, skaters, etc. Plus, for some reason, Gary Cooper playing tennis.
It took forever to get here from Boston. I flew first to Seattle (piiot to passengers: "Folks, Seattle is totally fogged in and it looks as if we might have to find an alternative landing site. But I'm going to first try to land in Seattle. Don't worry. We practice this kind of thing all the time.")
There is nothing one can do except grit one's teeth and hope for the best. And the best happened. The fog suddenly lifted; there was visible Seattle; and we landed. From there I flew to Salt Lake City, where I had just 39 minutes between planes and had to get to a different terminal. But we landed on time, I ran, and made it for the last leg of my trip: the flight to Sun Valley....

I Collect Gingers
Anthea has been photographing gingers since 2010 and now, two and a half years and 500+ gingers later, the red-headed Johannesburg-based artist and photographer will be presenting her debut solo exhibition at Speke Photographic / CIRCA on Jellicoe in Rosebank, Johannesburg tonight.
Pokroy explains, "It was only after my first photography session with seven 'gingers' that I began exploring the innate sense of community and collective experience that emerged from the otherness of the 'gingers' ". Through her photographs Pokroy begins to construct a narrative, history/future and system of classification around this self-identified 'race'. Pokroy uses this minority (2% of the world population) and mythical (historically considered witches and demons) group of red-headed people to highlight the obscurities of racial classification and discrimination which remain prevalent in South Africa. In a context that has historically been obsessed and oppressed by skin colour, Pokroy suggests an ironic alternative to genetic and pigment-based racial profiling. She begins to imagine what a ginger utopia might look like and what its implications would be.
Pokroy has documented gingers from all over South Africa, as well as internationally when she attended the Redhead Day in the Netherlands where thousands of gingers from all over the world congregated. 'I collect gingers', has received a plausible amount of interest in the media, including 5fm, 702 Talk Radio, The Star, Wanted Magazine, and Fair Lady amongst others. The artwork also has an impressive local and international social media following.
The exhibition opens on 17 January 2013 at CIRCA on Jellicoe.
The show will run until 2 March 2013.

Hmm, I would collect gingers too, but haven't met very many. The one I knew and haven't seen in years is now all white, not sure if I can call him a ginger any more.

The need is constant.
Slideshow tells our story as 2008 ends
The Red Cross was able to respond to many challenges last year, including serving patients who needed blood products. Take a look at how your support helped others in 2008.
January National Blood Donor Month
Whether you are a first-time donor, have been giving blood for 20 years, or volunteer your time, your efforts are critical in helping patients in need. January is National Blood Donor Month, a time to raise awareness about the need for blood and to recognize you - a Red Cross supporter. The Red Cross sincerely thanks you for all that you do, whether it is donating blood, advocating or volunteering for Red Cross Blood Services – your support helps save lives.
Every day, more than 38,000 pints of blood are needed to treat patients across the country. Every donation helps fulfill this need.
The Red Cross is proud to ring in the New Year by counting you as one of our dedicated supporters – thank you.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday January 19
The Red Cross joins the nation in commemorating the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose lifelong work for human rights brought hope and healing to America.
Dr. King believed all individuals could help serve the community. "Everyone can be great," King said, "because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love."
You can honor the memory of Dr. King by donating blood this month. Read why others give and help spread the word with Red Cross advocacy materials.
Facebook members pick Red Cross as top charity
The American Red Cross was picked as Facebook members' top charity in Western Union Foundation's Our World Gives campaign. Western Union partnered with Facebook to create Our World Gives campaign to raise awareness of the incredible work done by participating charities in addressing critical social issues.
Western Union presented a check for $50,000 to the Red Cross in support of its Disaster Relief Fund.
Young donor never thought he'd need blood
Jason Bursell made his first blood donation in high school and like most young donors, never thought he'd need blood himself. But after a snowmobile accident two years ago, the 26-year-old Minnesota resident found himself on the receiving end of blood donation.
"I'm not sure I could've made it without the help of blood transfusions," Bursell said. "The transfusions gave me the strength to recover so I could get out of the hospital and get on with my life. From what I've experienced," he said, "donating blood is one of the greatest things a person can do. And it's easy. Since my accident I've donated blood three times and will continue to do so every chance I get."

"When you walk out of The Francis Marion Hotel early in the morning and turn toward the sea, all of Charleston looks like it could be a movie set for a documentary on gracious living."
– Alex Watson, Birmingham
Named for General Francis Marion, the "Swamp Fox" of the American Revolution, the hotel opened in 1924 as the largest and grandest in the Carolinas. It was originally built by local investors at a cost of $1.5 million from plans by noted New York architect W.L. Stoddart, who also built the gracious Poinsett Hotel in Greenville, SC. Throughout the years, many notable historic and famous clientele enjoyed the hotel's full service and convenient location. In 1996, an extensive restoration earned the hotel the esteemed National Trust Award and once again the Francis Marion opened its doors as Charleston's Grand Hotel. More recent refurbishments have added to the comforts of today and enhanced the hotel's historic ambiance with sleek room décor reminiscent of the 1920's grandeur.
Today, our traditional services continue to provide doorman and bell service, concierge, valet parking, room service, wireless Internet services, business center, newsstand, gift shop, Spa Adagio, Starbucks™ and a well-equipped fitness center. Guests can enjoy classic Southern cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner in The Swamp Fox Restaurant & Bar, a Charleston restaurant, known for its artfully prepared dishes using local farm fresh ingredients. Or simply relax with cocktails and jazz piano music in The Swamp Fox Bar.

The Grizzled old hippie started a game for the Brockton Rox over the weekend. It was a publicity stunt, sure, but the old dude was still pretty good!
Spaceman went 5 and 1/3, and gave up two runs on five hits. He even managed to strike out a guy 33 years his junior. Sure, the Can-Am league is no great shakes, but a lot of these guys played AA and even AAA ball; they're no patsies.

Helping me with lean-PCOS
Posted by Reviewer2474654 on Feb 28, 2010
I have PCOS despite being reasonably lean and exercising and haven't had elevated fasting glucose but have been shown to be glucose intolerant in an oral glucose tolerance test. I have always struggled with miserable hypoglycemia 2-3 hours after eating anything with a glycemic index over 40 and in general feel hungry too often. When taking glucofit I haven't had any hypoglycemic symptoms after meals. In addition, it seems to have an appetite reducing effect in me since I haven't been able to finish more than half the food on my plate - I feel full very early. Seems to work well with Irwin naturals phase 2 carb blocker (lowers the glycemic index of a meal). My acne seems to be getting better too which indicates that gluco-fit may help with more than one etiology of insulin resistance. Many other herbal/nutraceutical and pharmaceutical "glucose lowering" agents (vanadyl sulfate, chromium piccolinate, metformin, gymnema sylvester, d-chiro inositol, bitter melon and more) have failed to help and often made me feel painfully hypoglycemic all the time but Glucofit really looks promising so far.
Posted by Reviewer2631453 on Dec 12, 2008
I have type 2 diabetes and have been on medication for over a year but was unable to reach the level required by my physician. I started taking GlucoFit about 4 months ago and my blood sugar levels dropped within 48 hours and have steadily fallen since then. I am now consistently reading below 5 on my meter and am delighted to have this worry more or less behind me. Thank you GlucoFit and Thank you iHerb. BM Vancouver, Canada
Actually reduces total insulin output
Posted by Reviewer1108029 on Jan 04, 2009
The best glucose control supplement I've tried. Better than fenugreek.
has made a huge difference
Posted by Reviewer3304456 on Feb 01, 2010
I gave up diabetes medication a while back in favor of this product. Its really made a difference! I do not recommend giving up your meds for a supplement, though, without your Dr's approval.
Has improved my fasting blood sugar
Posted by Reviewer3124711 on Jan 20, 2010
This product is helping me control my blood sugar. I'm currently taking it with one prescription medication (Amaryl) and Blood Sugar High by Crystal Star. It seems to be helping me keep my fasting blood sugars below 140, which is good for me. Before I started taking this product my fasting blood sugar was as high as 200. I noticed a change a few days after I started taking it.
Exceptional for Blood Sugar Control!
Posted by Reviewer2820125 on Oct 05, 2010
These truly work to lower blood sugar! I read the studies on lef.org and was impressed and I can say they truly work. My husband's A1c was 3.7 and he was averaging BG levels over 150 after meals; with these, his BG after meals has gone down into the 100s! Amazing!!! I use it in conjunction with NOW Chromemate.
Posted by Reviewer3333125 on Jun 02, 2009
Works well with Now Glucose metabloc and Vitamin D3 & K2
Works well.
Posted by Reviewer3327275 on Aug 24, 2011
Lowered blood sugar levels. Stopped taking for a while and saw them shoot back up.
Glucofit the single best blood sugar control
Posted by Reviewer1916270 on Nov 23, 2011
I am a diabetic and have struggled with my blood sugar for years. Allergic to most medicines I have tried Chromium Picolinate (works and essential to use, but not strong enough), Blood Sugar formula, Gymnema Syslvestre, and Banaba and all were too weak for full control. Banaba is the actual basis for Glucofit, but Glucofit gives a much stronger dose of corosolic acid and does reduce blood sugar dramatically. I can get 3-4 full points reduction after meals which is a great result. I am always high in the morning and during the evening so take one for breakfast and one for dinner with cinnamon, evening Blood Sugar and would recommend this to all who are struggling to control your diabetes. I am going to try 3 per day and give my Januvia (only stuff my body will tolerate) the flick. Hope it works. Gymnema Syslvestre is also very good and can add to your control. So watch what you eat and Glucofit can be an answer.

Seems to be dropping my am blood sugar readings, have only been taking it about 3 weeks.

Hundreds rally for Women's March in Marquette
Colton M. Steinhorst
ASHWAUBENON, WI. – Colton M. Steinhorst, 4, of Ashwaubenon, became an angel and received his wings on Tuesday afternoon, September 3, 2013 surrounded by his family.
He was born on October 9, 2008 in Green Bay to Jeff and Tara (Williams) Steinhorst. Colton was an amazing boy who was courageous and had a contagious smile. He was extremely generous and was eager to share, often with total strangers. Colton loved adventures, anything from picnics on the porch to flying an airplane. He enjoyed riding Splash Mountain at Disney World and was the biggest Packers fan. Colton will be remembered as a loving son, brother, grandson and friend.
He is survived by his loving parents, Jeff and Tara; brother, Camden; sister, Kylin; paternal grandmother, Jannie Poo Steinhorst; maternal grandmother, Debbie (Bob Lantto) Williams; maternal grandfather, Michael (Sharon) Williams; uncles and aunts, Tanner Williams, Greg (Terry) Steinhorst, Amy Rathsack, Connie (Daniel) Zehner, Mary Jo (Dennis) McAbee; and many other cousins, relatives and friends.
He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Eugene Steinhorst.
Friends may call at Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church, 2270 S. Oneida St., on Friday from 4 to 8 p.m. Parish wake service 7:30 p.m. Friday at the church. Visitation will continue on Saturday from 9:30 to 11 a.m. at the church until the time of Mass. Memorial Mass 11 a.m. Saturday at the church with Rev. John H. Harper officiating.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Oct. 9, 2013) – The U.S. Men's and Women's Sitting Volleyball Teams are gearing up to compete in the 2013 ParaVolley Pan American Sitting Volleyball Zonal Championships, being held in Edmond, Okla., from Oct. 11-13.
Teams from Brazil and Canada are also scheduled to compete. The top women's team and the top two men's teams qualify for the 2014 ParaVolley World Championships in Poland. The U.S. women will take part in a best-of-three series against Brazil, with one match being played each day. The U.S. men will compete in a round-robin tournament against Brazil and Canada on Friday and Saturday morning, with semifinals on Saturday afternoon and the finals on Sunday morning. All matches will be live streamed on USAVolleyball.org.
Both U.S. teams are led by Head Coach Bill Hamiter (Bethany, Okla.).
The U.S. women's squad is comprised of eight players that won the silver medal at the 2012 Paralympic Games in London: Monique Burkland (Ardmore, Okla.), Heather Erickson (Fayetteville, N.C.), Katie Holloway (Lake Stevens, Wash.), Kaleo Kanahele (Oklahoma City, Okla.), Nichole Millage (Champaign, Ill.), Kari Miller (Washington, D.C.), Allison Aldrich (Schuyler, Neb.) and Michelle Schiffler (Lake Wales, Fla.). Also joining the roster are Bethany Zummo (Dublin, Calif.), Lexi Shifflett (Waseca, Minn.), Abby Mueller (Houston, Texas) and Nicky Nieves (Kissimmee, Fla.).
| Kaleo Kanahele serves for the U.S. Women's Sitting Volleyball
Team as it competes at the 2013 Colorado Crossroads Junior
National Qualifier in March.
The team most recently competed in the Moscow Open Cup, where it won gold after defeating current Paralympic champion China for the first time. But Hamiter is reluctant to say that this victory gives the team momentum going into the Zonal Championships.
"I don't know that I really like to talk about momentum, per se," Hamiter said. "I think they're prepared, they're confident in what they can do and that comes across when they're on the court."
The U.S. men's team is also a veteran group, as eight members from the 2010 Sitting World Championship team return to the court: Eric Duda (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.), Roderick Green (West Monroe, La.), Edgardo LaForest (San Juan, Puerto Rico), J. Dee Marinko (Norman, Okla.), Dan Regan (St. Louis, Mo.), James Stuck (New Kensington, Penn.), Charlie Swearingen (Gulfport, Miss.) and Hugo Storer (Greensboro, N.C.). They are joined by Jese Schag (Sheridan, Ill.), Travis Ricks (San Diego, Calif.), Steven Doudt (Pendleton, Ind.) and Benjamin Aman (Portland, Ore.).
"Our men have a lot of confidence to play right now," Hamiter said. "We played Canada earlier in the year. This is the first time with Brazil this year, but every time we play them it's usually a close, hard-fought battle. So [they're] excited and ready to play."
The tournament takes place at the University of Central Oklahoma, which is where the U.S. Sitting Volleyball Teams train year-round. Both teams are looking forward to playing in front of their home crowd.
"I think that it's a big thing for us," Hamiter said. "Being able to play on our home court is a little bit of an advantage. And then also to have it here at UCO, where we train all the time and where we have people around that know us and can be here. It's always good to have that fan base and to be able to be able to play in front of them and continue to build that support."
The U.S. women will face Brazil first on Oct. 11 at 2 p.m. CT, followed by matches on Oct. 12 at 11 a.m. CT and Oct. 13 at 11 a.m. CT. The men take on Canada on Oct. 11 at 10 a.m. CT, then Brazil on Oct. 12 at 9 a.m. CT. The semifinal match will take place on Oct. 12 at 3 p.m. CT and the final will be held on Oct. 13 at 9 a.m. CT.

The Northern Illinois Preppers are an emergency preparedness group. Our team meets on topics that we feel are relevant to urban, suburban, and rural preppers.
In an emergency, we can survive 3 minutes without oxygen, 3 hours without shelter, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food, and 3 months without companionship. Being alone will be the most difficult part of survival.
We suggest that our members form alliances and become part of an established team that comes from different backgrounds and provides a wide range of skills if there are no conflicts of personality or beliefs.
Joining a team of families and friends in a crisis is not a requirement of survival, but the lone wolf will find a difficult path to follow.
We are always interested in meeting and sharing ideas with folks from all backgrounds. All are welcome to learn and share their knowledge as part of this meetup group.

[quote="bliss"]No rim around the inside edge means that leaves are flushed out easily without getting caught when rinsing (sweet mother do I dislike trying to get leaves out from under a rim.quote]
I was rinsing today that I use at work. I removed the screen and thought to give her a good rinse before she's away for the weekend. I slid a paper towel up under the rim and wow - there was a lot of tea in there! Not sure how long it was there
I have a different one at home that cleans really easily. That is an often understated factor to consider when buying. You can see why the simple gaiwan is so effective (though I don't use one for sencha).

Redefining Vintage | Joseph Pubillones
We're not getting any younger, and neither is furniture. As the years pass, items formerly classified as modern are showing up in antique shops throughout the country. Palm Beach designer Joseph Pubillones says vintage is always in style, but the definition of the term is ever changing.
"As the calendar moves forward, we're seeing items from the '60s, '70s and '80s being categorized in the vintage era," he says. To obtain the look, start with a base of contemporary pieces and add one or two "past perfect" statement items for strategic accessorizing.
Below, Pubillones offers some examples of vintage made modern, with some words of advice on how to bring the past design sentiments to the present.
|This office by Jospeh Pubillones personifies the new vintage aesthetic. The nod to the past comes compliments of the desk, chairs and primitive art.
Midcentury love affair.
"Midcentury covers post-World War II to the '80s," Pubillones points out. Spot a great '40s clock or chair at the antique store? Snap it up! Just make sure to juxtapose it with a current piece.

|Milo Baughman stainless steel drum table, Thayer Coggin ($2,325, 561-862-0800)
Disco isn't dead.
Pubillones says furniture from the 1970s is having a renaissance. Overstuffed sofas, lacquered furniture and chairs from designers like Milo Baughman and Karl Springer are now hot commodities.

Mix things up.
Many vintage pieces from the '70s come in neutral tones. Dress them up by adding splashes of color, prints and cheeky statement pieces.

Sleepy Eye man faces felony solicitation charge
SLEEPY EYE – A 24-year-old rural Sleepy Eye man faces a felony electronic solicitation of a child charge in Brown County District Court after allegedly chatting with a police officer who posed as a 13-year-old girl in a Yahoo! chat room last April.
On March 21, 2013, a Brown County Sheriff's Office Investigator got a call from a police officer in a Renville County who said they had contact with a 19-year-old male subsequently identified as Timothy I. Kotten, 24, in a Yahoo! chat room at about 2 a.m. on April 16, 2012, according to the complaint.
The police officer was investigating Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force cases when the chat room discussions took place, according to the complaint.
Kotten told the police officer he is a business student enrolled in online classes at a college in Marshall and was living in the family home when the chats took place, according to the complaint.
Kotten used a web cam for nearly all the chat, allowing the officer to observe his face via a web cam video feed. He exposed himself several times during several chats on different dates, according to the complaint.
The officer accessed the Southwest Minnesota State University (SMSU) student directory and confirmed Kotten's student status at the school. The officer accessed Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) records for a photo of Kotten, and identified him with the person viewed via web cam feed, according to the complaint.
The officer and Kotten continued contact via Yahoo! chat on April 24 and May 2, 2012, without significant incident, according to the complaint.
Chat records showed Kotten's screen name appeared as "Tim K" after he accepted a chat room friend request from the officer on May 2, 2012. The officer's screen name always appeared as "Abbie13MN" during the chat room conversations, according to the complaint.
On May 14 and June 20, 2012, Kotten exposed himself to the officer using his web cam and engaged in chat room discussion. During the later encounter, Kotten asked the officer if she would lay with him in bed.
Kotten's first Brown County District Court appearance was set for 8:30 a.m., Tuesday, April 30.
The ICAC program helps state and local law enforcement agencies develop an effective response to cyber enticement and child pornography cases using forensic and investigative components, training and technical assistance, victim services, and community education.
The program was developed in response to the increasing number of children and teenagers using the Internet, the proliferation of child pornography, and heightened online activity by predators seeking unsupervised contact with potential underage victims.
The 1998 Justice Appropriations Act directed the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Preventions (OJJDP) to create a national network of state and local law enforcement cyber units to investigate cases of child sexual exploitation.
Since 1998, ICAC Task Forces have reviewed more than 280,000 complaints of alleged child sexual victimization resulting in the arrest of more than 30,000 individuals.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton delivered remarks at the world premiere screening of "Inside the State Department" at the National Geographic Headquarters on October 25, 2010. The special program provides a behind-the-scenes perspective on the mission of the U.S. Department of State, Secretary Clinton's travels, and Department staff engaged in operations around the world.
Secretary Clinton said, "This is truly a tribute to the more than 60,000 people who work for the State Department around the world. Now, not all of them could fit into the movie, but without their service standing behind all the faces that you will see and the people that you'll meet, there are literally hundreds and thousands more who do every day what is necessary to protect America, to promote our values, advance our interests in every corner of the globe."
The Secretary continued, "...So for me, there is a great privilege and honor to be the 67th Secretary of State. I wish that this could have been done at an earlier time with others who served in my capacity because I think it's long overdue. Because we want to tell the story of the men and women of the State Department who serve you, the American public, every single day. We have really appreciated the chance to tell this story. It is part of our overall effort to elevate diplomacy and development alongside defense to make it clear that this is who we are and what we do.
"I'm delighted that I get a chance to see this for the first time with all of you, and again, I thank National Geographic for going inside the State Department and expanding the audience to all of America, and indeed, the world so that people know what it is that we are focused on and the mission that we are pursuing as we serve the country that we love."
Read the Secretary's complete remarks here.
"Inside the State Department" premieres Monday, November 8, 2010, at 9:00 p.m. EST/PST on the National Geographic Channel (NGC). Please visit natgeotv.com/state for more information. If you are in the United States, click here for more information.

Out of curiosity, why? Extra geek points?
I'm happy with QWERTY.
I'm happy with QWERTY.
Me too. And I don't think I can replace my laptop keyboard with a dvorak.
Think again, check out that Wikipedia link... there's a picture of a Macbook with a replaced Dvorak keyboard.
I'm happy with QWERTY, though.
It's like the metric system... maybe its a better system, but I'm already used to the other.
i dunno, i'm kind of enjoying the setup. I just read around and saw that some people like it; figured i'd give it a shot. it took ten minutes to switch my keys on my imac G5.
and how long to undo a lifetime of instinct? I couldn't even imagine the pain of trying to learn a dvorak keyboard. Maybe it really isn't that bad in actuality, but in my head it sounds like a nightmare.
it certainly makes you type as little as you can.
Last edited by Lake (2007-02-22 17:07:49)
Think thats bad ! Try it without ANY viewable keys
That wouldn't be so bad if it was still QWERTY. I mean, I know where all the keys are (I don't look at the keyboard when I type anyway). But if it was Dvorak? Forget about it.
well, i gave it up. I suppose it just wasn't worth it.
The entire WORLD uses qwerty...I guess it could be worse.
I did get up to 22 WPM! heh.
I dont know what i am at yet but it is starting to stick. Just keep at it, it does feel more peaceful after you get the hang of it
