Great artwork >There are ALOT of card shirts this time around,but the artwork on THIS Queen card is a standout.
I would still enjoy seeing the King and the Queen cards together.
Re: King Me!
These look so great.(I used to play checkers with my Grandpa.)I don't like playing games (I get annoyed, rather be doing artwork or reading!) so I haven't been" feeling" all these chess and card shirts. (Although the card shirts I'm sure, took the artists a long time to do and I seriously respect that hard work, truly good job from all the card shirt artists).
.....still, I can't help loving your checkers shirt .
I especially love the detailing on the tops of the black checkers(the stars),and the personality of the King.

The frog kind of throws me off. I understand the point you're trying to make, that she's holding the frog because she's looking for a King Bee...but it just reminds me of The Princess and the Frog, and it feels like you took an aspect from a different story and plopped it into this setting.
It's a beautiful design though, I like that you used a yellow shirt and the way the honeycomb stretches across.

This Queen character is super.I like it when you add humans to your designs, it sort of melds the fabulous fantasy characters that you are so famous for with the world we recognize as reality, together the images are fantastic and easy to comprehend at a glance, because the human element gives us something to instantly recognize.

I like the face on the Kingpin!
Not a fan at all.
The pawns are purple simply for the sake of getting the color purple on the shirt, nothing else.
A bigger complaint is that the King is NOT in checkmate (assuming he was upright on the square his body is on).

Luncheon celebrates 60 years after Brown vs. Board of Education
POCATELLO, Idaho - The Pocatello branch of the NAACP held its annual Martin Luther King Jr. luncheon Saturday. This year marks a special landmark year - 60 years since the Supreme Court ruled on the case of Brown vs. Board of Education which ended segregation in schools.
Several prominent faces were in the crowded room at the Clarion Inn, included Pocatello Mayor Brian Blad and Chubbuck Mayor Kevin England, both of whom declared next week MLK Jr. week in Pocatello and Chubbuck.
"We have a tendency to focus on the few things that make us different instead of the many things that make us alike," Mayor England said.
The recipient of the Ron Timpson award this year, Rita Haggardt also talked about her experience in Washington D.C. serving an Idaho Congressman during the time of MLK Jr.'s assassination. She said she's always been one to be involved, especially in one specific Pocatello service.
"It's called My Brother's Table, and we welcome people in need or welcome anyone who needs a meal, every Sunday,' Haggardt said. "I really thrive on helping others. I was taught to be that way. I ring the bells for the Salvation Army, I'm very involved in Zonta and Kiwanis and I'm the chairman of the board for Pocatello Neighborhood Watch."
She joked, that at 70 years old, she's just as old as the Pocatello branch of the NAACP, but she says that doesn't stop her from focusing on the needs of the younger generation.
"I was touched by the student essays today because of how kids are feeling," she said. "I'm a real advocate for kids."
Those student essays read Saturday discussed bulling and discrimination of all different kinds. But they all got to the same point: change starts with one small act, spreading hope to others who also do their own small part of make a big difference.
Haggardt said that's why she enjoys being a part of the NAACP. She said the agency advocates more rights for more people than ever before.
"It's my understanding that ours has a lot of Caucasian members because of where we're from," Haggardt said. "It's about the advancement of not only of people of color, but of all people."
Martin Luther Kind Jr. Day falls on Monday, Jan. 20 this year. He was assassinated on April 4, 1968.

I always wanted to try Buckwheat Honey. Last year I was at another commercial beekeepers shop and he had buckwheat honey on his shelf so I bought a jar. Coincidently it tastes exactly like my extra dark and over heated melter honey....

Honey is not legal in WI as bear bait. It is allowed in MN and Canada. Honey Burn is very effective.
Leer Family Honey Farm-Shannon Leer
Shannon is correct. It is illegal in Wisconsin to use honey, even melter honey, as bear bait. But aside from that there IS a market for melter honey. We normally negotiate the sale at a reduced rate when we sell our regular crop to any of the packers. Some years the price is better than others. This past year we received $1.15 a pound, which is the highest we've gotten for melter. The year before I think it was $.85. It pretty much comes down to us telling the packer "If you want a semi load of our nice white honey, you need to buy 5-6 drums of melter honey too." This last year the decision of which packer to sell our honey to was ultimately determined by the price they were willing to give us for the melter, as the price for the white was the same. They have industrial accounts that want the dark "full flavored" honey for sausage, bar-b-q sauce and such.
Can you not feed it back to the bees?
OK . this is a Grey area, but it is legal to sell it to bear hunters, what they do with it is not my worry, maybe they schmere(sp?) it on their girl friends?
Crazy Roland
I used to sell raw cappings to a bear hunter who would put them in a camp fire. He claimed that would bring in a lot of bears.

Private identity information, including Social Security numbers, may have been leaked for up to 900 Los Angeles ambulance patients as part of a multistate data breach, officials said Thursday.
Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Deputy Daren Palacios said Thursday that the confidential information of people who rode in LAFD ambulances over the last two years may have been compromised.
The information was accessed by an employee at Fort Lauderdale-based Advanced Data Processing Inc., which handles ambulance billing for the LAFD and other ambulance agencies across the country.
On Oct. 12, the LAFD sent letters to 26 Los Angeles-area patients who took ambulances informing them their names, Social Security numbers and dates of birth had been accessed by an employee at the ADPI subsidiary who "deliberately and maliciously accessed and disclosed individual account information."
The sensitive information was then used to file fraudulent federal income tax returns to obtain refunds, according to LAFD officials.
The 26 letters were sent to those whom officials know were accessed, but they say the employee had possible access to information for about 900 people.
"Our customers turned to us in a time of need, and we treated them and transported them, and their expectation is that we protect this personal information," Palacios said.
ADPI has handled the city's ambulance billing for the last two years under an outsourcing effort designed to save costs.
Palacios added that the city isn't expected to be held liable in the investigation, which is being handled by the Internal Revenue Service and local law enforcement authorities.
ADPI spokeswoman Lisa MacKenzie said notification letters were sent by the company nationwide. The only people who would have been impacted in Los Angeles would be those who may have taken an ambulance, either an LAFD one or one operated by another company that uses the company's services.
"It's always a drag for anything like this to happen," MacKenzie said. "The company is doing everything that they can to provide information and resources for anyone who may have been affected."
She said people can call 877-264-9622 or go online to www.myidcare.com/intersecurity to find out more information.
"I don't have any numbers on the total number that were affected. Many states were involved," she said.
Stealing private medical information violates the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
The city's decision to contract with ADPI follows a growing pattern of the city using outsourcing to increase efficiencies and save money.
As part of the move, about 50 positions were eliminated at the LAFD.
The decision to outsource operations was criticized at the time by Pat McOsker, head of the United Firefighters of Los Angeles City.
On Thursday, he said he'd warned the City Council such a breach could occur.
"This is an unfortunate example of what happens when you privatize," McOsker said. "The city isn't able to ensure that people's information is kept private."
Palacios said he believes the City Council considered all the issues when choosing to outsource billing operations for the LAFD.
"I think the decision was made that this was the right decision, to go with the outsourcing," Palacios said.
But he added that the City Attorney's Office is re-examining its contract with ADPI.
In an email late Thursday, Deputy City Attorney William Carter said his office was examining whether any other city departments have contracts with ADPI.

text: I went to a goodyear service center to get my front brakes looked at and they also took a look at the rear ones and mentioned something about a rear wheel outer seal leaking...or something to that affect. I was wondering if that is covered under the powertrain warranty at all. They also mentioned that it would require a "rear brake overhaul" and a brake system flush. My Silverado has just under 51k miles on it and find it odd for any seals to fail that soon. Thanks for the help

Just after the loss of their father Luigi in 1984, the brothers decided to focus on Barbera, releasing their own interpretation of this local grape. The prestigious Pomorosso was born, emerging as the model of the "Modern Style" Barbera, aged in oak and with unmistakable personality. Barbera, a truly native varietal, soon became the pride of the entire region.
The four brothers Piero, Gianni, Paolo and Roberto have set an ambitious goal: to resurrect the traditional red varietals from the Asti region, and to produce serious white wines with aging potential. This is a new generation of winegrowers with a new way of viewing agriculture. Although they are considered to be "Barbera specialists", they also produce an outstanding Moscato d'Asti and an excellent Gavi. View all Coppo Wines
About PiedmontView a map of Piedmont wineries (PEED-mont)
Notable FactsNot just regulated to red wine, Piedmont also produces some notable whites, particularly those near the district of Gavi and Asti. Gavi produces still white wine from the Cortese grape. The wine is dry with a crisp, citrus-like acidity – fairly neutral but pleasant. Arneis is another grape/wine made in the area, creating a fuller wine that displays some nuttiness in the aroma and taste. Asti is well known for its sparkling wine – in particular Asti Spumante and Moscato d'Asti. Asti Spumante is typically higher in alcohol, sweetness & fizziness, while its higher-class cousin, Mostcato d'Asti, contains lower alcohol levels, a few less bubbles, and a more restrained and delicate representation of Moscato fruit.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

Attitude of gratitude
By Jessie Bazan, communication senior
Tis the season to adopt an "attitude of gratitude" says Rev. Ed Mathie, S.J.
This semester, Father Mathie, interim pastor at the Church of the Gesu, is teaching a new undergraduate course on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. He calls gratitude a major focus of Ignatian Spirituality.
"I think Ignatian Spirituality is so much about gratitude and thanksgiving," Father Mathie explains. "Everything we have, every gift and talent, we clearly say is from God. Not only that, but we look around the world and everything around us is created for us. It's a whole, entire sense of gratitude."
One of the best ways to demonstrate gratitude, Father Mathie says, is by praying the Examen. This simple, reflective prayer is foundational to St. Ignatius of Loyola in his Spiritual Exercises. With the Thanksgiving holiday quickly approaching, the Marquette Magazine shares an Examen prayer.
God, we thank You.
You are the source of all creation. I thank You for the gifts You have given me. Let me thank You today, especially for the gift of this earth.
God, send Your Spirit upon us.
As I reflect on my day thus far, help me to recall the moments where I was most conscious of Your beautiful creation. What have I done today to care for the earth? As I go forth with the rest of my day, help me to be present to the gift of nature. Thank You, God, for this gift.
God, let us each look at the past week.
Recall your relationship with the Earth and with God. What joys do you find in these relationships? What are some of the challenges you may find? God, help me to improve my relationship with your creation so that I may be able to strengthen my relationship with You.
God, let us be grateful and ask for forgiveness.
Call to mind this past week. Where has God been most present to you? Was it something in nature? Or did you find God in a friend? Did music bring you alive with God's presence? Wherever you felt God's presence, think back to that moment, and pray from it.
God, stay close.
Look forward to tomorrow. Ask that God help you to see His grace incarnate in the dynamic interconnections of his creation. May you make a genuine effort to revere God's creation in all that you do.
Adapted from Marquette University Campus Ministry
Marquette community members are welcome to join Campus Ministry for a weekly Examen, held each Friday when classes are in session at 12:30 p.m. in the Chapel of the Holy Family.

Heavy monsoon rains and a typhoon have caused the worst flooding in Thailand in more than 50 years. The deluge has swamped seven of the Asian country's 50 districts, killing nearly 400 people and causing another 110,000 to leave their homes. All that water has been slowly flowing south toward the capital city of Bangkok. It's there now, and it's causing big problems.
Potential Problems
Flooding has already closed one of Bangkok's two airports. But the main worry is that the Chao Phraya River, which flows right through the metropolis, will severely flood the city when high tides happen.
Some buildings have already had minor flooding during high tides. The army has had to pump water out of the entranceway to the Grand Palace. The historical monument once was home to Thailand's kings.
On Saturday, the high tide in Bangkok is expected to be 8.5 feet high. That would top the 8.2-foot-tall floodwalls protecting a large part of the inner city. The floodwalls aren't meant to handle this much water for this long, and the government is worried that major barriers and dikes could break.
People Preparing
To prepare for possible heavy flooding, dozens of Buddhist monks are creating a barrier around the 200-year-old Temple of the Dawn by stacking hundreds of sandbags. Phramaha Abhin, a 42-year-old monk, said he didn't think the water would get high enough to cause serious problems, but the monks have to protect the temple just in case the waters do rise. "It's one of the country's landmarks, one of the things Thailand is known for. We have to protect it," Abhin said.
Monks aren't the only ones getting ready. Bangkok's residents are stocking up on food and water, and many people have been buying bright orange lifejackets and inflatable boats.
"You have to prepare," said Fon Kanokporn, a banker who bought a rubber boat from a local store. Employees at the shop said they had sold well over 3,000 boats in the last week. Some of the buyers needed the boats to get to their flooded homes outside the capital, because many roads are under water.
Officials say that the flood has already caused $6 billion in damage to the country. But that amount could double if the water floods Bangkok. While the Thais have been able to manage Bangkok's flooding so far, they may not be able to for much longer. Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra expressed that worry on Thursday. "What we're doing today is resisting the force of nature. We cannot resist all of it," she said.

3 hospitalized after lightning strikes in Southwest Florida
Published: Monday, July 1, 2013 at 12:09 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 1, 2013 at 12:09 p.m.
BRADENTON — A mother and two of her children were hospitalized after lightning struck near where they were standing in southwest Florida.
Manatee County Fire Rescue says the three were in their Bradenton yard early Monday when lightning struck nearby. Authorities say the three were released from the hospital.
The woman told local media that she was giving her children camping lessons when lightning struck nearby around 4 a.m. She and the two children suffered electrical shock.
A Lee County Sheriff's Office patrol car also was struck by lightning early Monday. The deputy driving the car was not injured but had to pull over when its engine shut off.
According to the National Weather Service, Florida led the country last year with five deaths caused by lightning strikes.

U.S. Distillate Inventory Outlook
Sources: History: EIA; Projections: Short-Term Energy Outlook, December 2000
Previous slide
Next slide
Back to first slide
View graphic version
Total distillate stocks rose only marginally in November, to about 117 million barrels from about 115 million barrels at the end of October. The "normal" or average inventory level at end November is 146 million barrels. Thus, by the end of November, instead of seeing an improvement, US distillate inventories were 30 million barrels less than normal rather than the 26 million barrels less as of the end of October, indicating greater tightness in markets for heating oil and diesel fuel.
If the currently depressed level of distillate stocks continues, the result could be strong upward pressure on prices for the distillate fuels through the winter. In fact, the tightness in distillate markets, particularly in the Northeast, has worsened and left the heating oil market more vulnerable to near-term shocks from potential cold weather events than was expected earlier this fall.
The additional supplies of crude oil released from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve under an exchange program in late October probably prevented the U.S. distillate supply situation from becoming even more tenuous than it is now, but hoped-for levels of distillate in storage by end-November have not materialized. Unless the winter in the Northeast is unusually mild or world crude oil prices drop significantly, the projected high prices for heating oil and diesel fuel will likely continue until next spring.

So, I was stuck doing a whole lot of nothing last night, and wound up playing in Paint, since that's all I have at work. Took Lonewolf's custom smooth faceplate look and messed with it. Figured the designs could just be cut out of the faceplate just like the T-shape of the visor.
I apologize in advance for the puns. I've been awake for too long.
Here are the first three I came up with.
The left one is called "Chuckles". I was fiddling with different noses, and thinking about the Joker. I liked the circle look so I threw down some red for a clownish smile, and green, becase the "Clown Prince of Crime" needs his proper 'do.
Middle one is "The Crying Man". Pulled off a slightly human nose, and it made the eyes look sad, thus, crying. I suppose that's why he's blue.
Last one....haven't thought of a name for it. "RAWR!" might work, I suppose. I started with a screaming type face, threw in some teeth, and a sharp animalistic nose.
And that's what I accomplished at work last night. Enjoy.

In 1888, my great-great-great grandfather, Daniel Light Kline opened Valley Glen Park. This popular park and boating area in Palmyra, Pennsylvania attracted hundreds of people each summer with its water slides and other attractions. It was at Valley Glen Park where Milton S. Hershey would bring his workers for leisurely outings and relaxation. On one such occasion, Kline suggested, "Milton, why don't you start a park on your hilly country where nothing can grow?" Hershey took that advice and built what is now America's "sweetest" amusement park.
Little did Milton know that he would, in a way, return the favor. 78 years later, Daniel's great-grandson, Gerald Kline, and Gerald's wife, Linda, would be lost in a tragic drunk driving accident. Their orphaned sons, Jerry and Paul, would spend their childhood at the Milton Hershey School for Boys.

To anyone in the New Orleans area intrested in a feral hive, I happen to have noticed one on my honeymoon. I don't know if the house owner is wanting to get rid of these bees, but from the structure, I would think it somewhat necissary.
The house in question is on the right hand side of the street on Jackson St when walking past Prytania from the St Charles street car.

How would you asses the quality? ==> quality is good. I did not find any serious flaws in assembly and stitching. I wish it has better design - it does not have zippers at legs and veil-to-suit zipper needs some understanding. All zippers are bronze (yellow whichever it is) and works great, no problem at all. I definitely like round veil better (tried both) - a lot of air, do not restrain in movements. I wish material for "hat" (upper part) would be thicker.
Are they made in America or elsewhere? ===> assembled in India, thus cheaper than other brands.
I'm going under the impression that supply problems are mostly due to the tsunami of new keepers in the hobby ==> yes, I agree. I personally had very good experience with them, but they are overwhelmed and probably just small business - they are not designed for large quantities. Sergey
Thought that I would post a follow-up. I contact PM after two weeks to see if the suits came in yet. I did this via email and got a pretty quick response, they might come in 2 weeks, maybe longer. I checked and they did have the jacket in my size and decided to go that route. The did respond to my emails on a very timely basis but not with the news I wanted. By the way, no discount on the jacket, but did promise to refund the price difference.
Ordered a vented suit back in June and several other items. At the time, I was not told that items were backordered. Also had given an alternate shipping destination for a gift extractor for dad. The shipping took about 5-7 days to be packaged and shipped. Then the items showed up at my home not dad's. Got the suit and most of the stuff about a week later than planned, and just a couple of weeks ago got the last of the order shipped.
All said, the suit is great (less the zippered legs). and yes, I will be doing business again. Just don't be in a hurry.
Usual story with backordering, but nice people... they replaced mine suit, no shipping charges both ways!
By the way,I actually got stung through super-duper bullet-proof PM vented suit! In pit-arm. I guess, girl get lost in the fabric folding and when I stretch the arm and fabric stretched - girl was pushed toward my flesh and she did not wait a second! Sergey
Just tested out my Pigeon Mountain suit and here is the down low:
Circumvented any backordering problems by just calling them and had the saleswoman go to the shelf and put my suit in a box. She then took my cc over the phone. On my doorstep in 3 days. Looked good and put it on. Zippers are cheap, but seem to work ok. The veil top is a thin fabric. You will get stung through it, so wear a hat. You probably should anyway to keep the screen off your nose. Worked well on a 4 hour cut-out. Elastic around wrists a little loose, but not a deal breaker. No elastic at all on the legs, but the velcro strap seemed to work well enough. Pockets way better than the Ultrabreeze - larger and better made. Was pretty satisfied until I went to take it off. Peeled to my boots and then no go. No zippers on the sides of the legs. Had to take my boots off. Then had to do the whole thing again an hour later. Not happy about that. It is around half the cost, but is a pain if you have to get in and out. Otherwise, ok. 6'2" 180 and extra large fits well.
Серёжа, Sergey
Update: You definitely will get stung through the top. 15 stings on the forehead to prove it. Wear a cap!
Are we talking round or fencing type veils? I got the fencing type and didn't like it because it couldn't see as well and I don't think it was ventilated as well. I am much happier with the round veil.
Slow Moden, did you purchase the round veil for the ventilated suit from Pigeon or someone else. i have the fencing veil and every time i bend down, I wind up getting stung on the nose, lips, face, neck.....etc..
I want to get the round veil.
Серёжа, Sergey
PMTC Ventilated Round Hood Veil Replacement
Weight: 1 lb(s)
Model: PM9262R
Place you a order with them like I did and then see if you will take up for them after
I purchased a ventilated suit ( round veil) last year from PM.
I wear it without a shirt under it and just in shorts. It is much cooler IF there is a breeze/ In still conditions there is not a huge difference.
I have been stung in the head and now rub some herbal salve on the material which so far has kept bees away.
The zipper does not look very strong. I use beeswax to help it glide.
Also purchased two Ventilated suits from Mann Lake ( I like the fact that they are an Employee Owned Company). I had feedback from one wearer as yet and he loves it: " much cooler"
I bought the ventilated suit from Mannlake with a fencing veil. Kept getting stung in the face so I ordered the round veil from Pigeon Mountain. It fit perfectly and the sting in the face issue has been resolved. Need to wear a hat with it, however. From the time I ordered the replacement veils for my wife and I, to receipt was one week.
NEW UPDATE! Went to buy a new suit and Pigeon Mountain has raised their price on this suit $50 to $175! Plus Shipping! Checked Mann Lake and its $155, free shipping, and there are zippers on the ankles so that you can actually get it off. Never tried the Mann Lake but it looks like I am going to. Will post again when it arrives.

I have gotten products from India once. It took 8 months. I will never deal with India suppliers again. They do not accept US dollars either. Huge pain. The reason I was given is that the currency exchange can change to much between the time the order is placed and it is filled. given that is 2 thirds of a year. yeah I guess it can.
Oops maybe I should have contacted the Indian government before slamming their businesses?
I say tighten it up and get it together. then I will say nice things about your service. fail to fill orders and I will tell others. The businesses had their say when they took payment for an item that they chose to offer for sale. it is then reasonably expected they will conduct them selves in a manner that provides satisfactory service.They have been paid for it after all. Nobody twisted their arm to offer a product for sale.

During allergy skin tests, your skin is exposed to suspected allergy-causing substances (allergens) and is then observed for signs of an allergic reaction.
Along with your medical history, allergy tests may be able to confirm whether or not a particular substance you touch, breathe or eat is causing symptoms.
A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to skin to peel away the top layers. The skin that grows back after a chemical peel is smoother and younger looking.
Chemical peels are used to treat wrinkles, skin discoloration and scars — typically on the face. A chemical peel can be done alone or in combination with other cosmetic procedures.
Chemical peels can be done at different depths — light, medium or deep — depending on your desired results. Each type of chemical peel uses a different chemical solution. Deeper chemical peels produce more-dramatic results, but also involve longer recovery times.
Dermabrasion is a skin-resurfacing procedure that uses a rapidly rotating device to sand the outer layers of skin. After dermabrasion, the skin that grows back is usually smoother and younger looking.
Dermabrasion can decrease the appearance of fine facial lines and improve the look of scars, such as those caused by acne. Dermabrasion can be done alone or in combination with other cosmetic procedures.
During dermabrasion, your skin will be numbed with anesthetics. You might also have the option of taking a sedative or using general anesthesia, depending on the extent of your treatment.
Skin treated with dermabrasion will be sensitive and bright pink for several weeks. The pinkness will likely take about three months to fade.
Laser resurfacing is a skin resurfacing procedure that uses a laser to improve the appearance of your skin or treat minor facial flaws. Laser resurfacing can be done with two types of lasers:
Although nonablative laser resurfacing is less invasive and requires less recovery time, it's less effective than is ablative laser resurfacing.
Laser resurfacing can decrease the appearance of facial fine lines. Laser resurfacing can also treat loss of skin tone and improve your complexion if you have scars or sun damage. Laser resurfacing does have limitations, however. Understanding the specific techniques, risks and possible results can help you decide if laser resurfacing is right for you.

The enigmatic Roy Hobbs of "The Natural" was a left-handed Midwest farm boy who had one memorable cinematic season in baseball's major leagues.
Ontario had its own Roy - Roy W. Hitt - a left-handed pitcher from Nebraska who like the Robert Redford character got one chance to play in the majors.
Despite reaching the bigs in 1907, Hitt is an absolute unknown in Ontario. We believe he attended Ontario High School - the city's first high school - a few years before Chaffey High was built.
The only hint that he was ever here came from a brief story in the Ontario Record of April 18, 1903, about Hitt pitching Ontario High to an 8-1 win over Riverside a week before to win the league title.
"The Ontario boys laid it all over Riverside, who could not hit Hitt," the paper wrote, unable to avoid the obvious cliche.
From his obituary we know he had come to Pasadena and then Cucamonga from tiny Carleton, Neb. But there's no trace of him in the few school district records that remain from that period. The Record didn't list him among the members of the 1903 graduating class.
He may not have had a diploma, but Hitt left town with a strong left arm. That same summer, he pitched a couple of games in the Pacific Coast League, the West Coast's main minor league, and a few more the next year.
Hitt blossomed into a star for the San Francisco Seals in 1905 and 1906, when he won 56 games in 83 starts, pitching 750 innings. Pitchers then had rubber arms and threw far more often and longer than today.
His West Coast success attracted the attention of the National League's Cincinnati Reds, who signed him to a contract for a brief trip to the big leagues.
In 1907, the 22-year-old Hitt had an undistinguished season as a starting pitcher for a Cincinnati team that finished 41 1/2 games behind the Chicago Cubs.
Hitt won six games and lost 10 for the woeful Reds. He did have two shutouts and completed 14 of 18 starts, but it wasn't good enough to keep him in the majors.
After that experience and a brief stop in the American Association, Hitt spent the last seven years of his baseball career in the PCL.
He was a regular with the Vernon team - yes, today's tiny city had its own PCL team starting in 1909. The team's existence is credited to being in one of only two L.A. County cities allowing the consumption of alcohol. For two years, 1913-14, the Vernon team moved to Venice - not coincidentally the OTHER L.A. County city allowing booze.
Hitt's most notable achievement came July 19, 1914, when he pitched a 2-0 no-hitter against San Francisco in the second game of a doubleheader in Venice.
He walked two during his no-hitter, which was just four days after he had pitched all 14 innings of a 4-2 loss.
Sports writing was a bit more flamboyant in 1914 - consider the prose of Los Angeles Times writer Harry A. Williams on July 20:
"The eminent and plentiful Mr. Hitt," Williams' story began, pitched "the Seals into such a state of batting feebleness that they could not so much as poke the ball safely."
The article went on: "Hitt decided to let out a few links and give San Francisco a beating that would be sure to be embalmed in the record book for posterity to admire."
The "embalmed" record book says that Hitt finished his no-hitter by striking out three in the ninth inning.
But his career soon reached an end - he pitched only four games in 1917 and then retired.
Ballplayers then didn't make big salaries and had no pensions so after retiring they had to find real work to support their families.
His obituary in the Pomona Program-Bulletin said Hitt moved to Long Beach in 1918 and worked as a Wilson Packing Co. salesman for 32 years. In 1950, his family moved to Pomona where he died at age 71 on Feb. 9, 1956. He's buried in Pomona Cemetery.
And while he's not remembered as much as the fictional Roy Hobbs, Hitt does have the distinction of being a member of the Hall of Fame - of the Pacific Coast League. He was inducted in 2004 as a member of the PCL Hall of Fame for the 202 games he won there.
Interestingly, Hitt died the same day as the legendary Connie Mack, who managed the Philadelphia Athletics for 50 years. Mack is also in the Hall of Fame, though the more familiar one in Cooperstown, N.Y.

Fertilizer fight: Use of BioSolid causing controversy
UPPER MOUNT BETHEL TWP., Pa. - A former Northampton County councilman is making plans for his farmland and not everyone's happy about it.
"There is no cow manure anymore. People went to crop farming, so there's no way of putting that type of fertilizer on the fields anymore. There's just no cows around to do it," said Ron Angle.
He plans to use another kind of fertilizer called biosolids on his farmland in Upper Mount Bethel Township.
"That's predominately what it is, human waste, and they do treat it with lime and they test it and it's frankly very little different than cow manure."
But several neighbors are upset and have concerns about what's added during the treatment process. They fear for their health.
Diane Zimmerer said, "We have rights and I want my rights heard. I'm a landowner also and I want them heard."
"This product what they call fertilizer is not fertilizer," said Lewis Donatelli. "To save a couple of lousy bucks on lime, they're jeopardizing everybody's life and health here."
Shawnah Flyte lives right next to one of the properties on which Angle plans to use the product.
"My mama bear claws want to come out and protect my children," said Flyte, who has six children. "There's a type A, there's a type B. I've already called the company myself, they want to do A and B. B contains pathogens, I don't want that, it's right here, my kids play right here."
Angle stands by it.
He said, "Penn State's research said not only do we feel it's good, we recommend it, why put sludge in a landfill."
"They do it by DEP standards and DEP rules as to how they can do it. It's inspected by DEP, monitored by DEP," said Angle. "They stay 300 feet away from all of the houses, they stay away from wetland."
Angle has a message for the people who are upset.
"Do your research," he said. "Can the DEP and Penn State University, after a vast study, both be wrong and you be right because you happen to live in a house and you think it's going to bother you."
"There's never been any proof anywhere through the years that sludge does anything to affect your health," said Angle.
The state Department of Environmental Protection says biosolids are an acceptable use of land treatment and anyone who wants to use them has to get DEP permission.
The DEP has received Angle's application and has 30 days to review it. The DEP still has to come out to inspect his land.

Hello, everyone. I am new to beekeeping this year. I got my first two nucs at the end of April, and it's time now to do my first varroa check. I was going to use a sticky board with my screened bottom board, then it dawned on me the slatted racks I'm using might interfere with the count. The slats on these don't run length-wise with the frames. The slats run side-to-side.
Does anyone know how this will affect a varroa count? Or even more importantly, should I ditch these slatted racks altogether and get the other kind? (I'm picturing mites landing on the slats right now and crawling back up into the hives!)
Many thanks,

Hello all - newbie here; first-time poster.
I am new to beekeeping; I recently ordered my first package of bees and plan on having them in March.
The other day (after I placed my order), it occured to me that I may have a HUGE problem.
There is a large area of kudzu in my neighborhood. I would guess that it covers ultimately several acres; it certainly borders many people's properties (including mine).
It has been there ever since I've lived in my current house (several years now). Of course, it dies off during the winter, but during the mostly warm months of the year here, it is a constant problem. I have used a herbicide in the past to try and at least stop it from coming onto my own property. I suspect that many other people in the area may do the same when it gets warm and the kudzu grows again.
Now, I have noticed a purple-colored flower that the kudzu produces. I don't intend to use any more herbicide or kudzu-killer type of product once my bees arrive. BUT! since others in the area probably will, and since the bees will (I assume?) want to visit this kudzu flower I see every year.....will kudzu that has been treated as such harm the bees?
Is it possible that the bees will simply avoid the kudzu flower altogether if the kudzu has been sprayed with anything? Or will the bees not realize it until it's too late and they've already dined on kudzu killer? I would assume that this would be harmful to the bees, but is it possible that I am wrong?
And also, what effect (if any?) would this have on the honey?
I feel that I'm in a huge bind here. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!!!

Stranded in Paradise
By John Vernaglia, 14
Runner-Up Winner
I'm not even sick.
It's not a snow day,
and I'm missing school,
at the beach by the bay.
The airplane won't come,
or so I am told.
I'm stuck on an island
where it's not even cold.
I'm stranded in paradise,
no way to get back.
My friends think I'm lying,
but it's really a fact!
More days I am missing
of classes and school.
But I can be happy
and swim in the pool.
The island is perfect,
palm trees and sand.
It's quiet and sunny,
and I'm getting tanned.
The food is delicious,
the people are great.
Everything is wonderful,
truly first-rate.
I wake with a start and
quickly I know.
It was all just a dream,
I'm back in the snow.
I want to go back
to my dream paradise.
But to school I must go
through the slush and the ice.

Runner-Up Winner
I got expelled from school today.
I don't know what I did.
I did my work and got an A.
I'm a very helpful kid.
I ate my lunch and took a test.
At recess I played ball.
I did everything my very best.
I followed protocol.
I minded the school regulations.
In class I paid attention.
I exceeded expectations
with an honorable mention.
I cleaned the room until it looked new
and asked if she would let
me help with science, reading too.
They called me Teacher's Pet.
I brought her an apple, shiny and red.
I thought it looked quite yummy.
She smiled wide and then she said,
"Oh, thank you, honey!"
But when she took a bite,
something curly as her perm
made her shout out in fright,
"Oh my gosh, a worm!"
My Vegetables
By Mary Clayton, 11
Honorable Mention
My vegetables will eat me.
They're very, very mean.
If you make me eat them,
I'm gonna have to scream.
My vegetables, they're evil,
as evil as they come.
If you make me eat them,
our love is gone and done.
My vegetables are poison.
They'll make me sick, I'm sure.
If you make me eat them,
I'll throw up all over.
No, don't give me that.
It looks like chewed-up gum.
Don't put that in my mouth.
It tastes like—yummm!
Lick Lick Lickety Lick
By Alexis Cannet, 10
Honorable Mention
Sitting there, cold and bare,
Are my feet, right here and there,
One and two, both cold and bare.
Lick lick lickety lick,
Suddenly I feel and hear
On my feet so cold and bare.
I look and see my dog right there,
Licking my feet so cold and bare.
One lick here, one lick there,
Lick lick lickety lick.
One lick here, one lick there,
On my feet so cold and bare.
Lick lick lickety lick,
Is all I hear.
Where are My Glasses?
By Ella Spencer, 12
Honorable Mention
Where are my glasses?
It is getting very hard to see.
Where could they be?
I've checked the bathroom, the kitchen, the den,
And still I haven't found them!
Maybe I've just got to accept
That I won't find them by retracing my steps.
It's quite possible Mom threw them out by mistake,
But she would only do that if they were to break.
I peek under the bed—
Where are my glasses?!
Oh, wait.
They're on my head.
By Grace Jing McIntosh, 11
Honorable Mention
My mom told me
not to jump on the bed,
so I jumped on the sofa instead.
She told me not to do it there,
so I jumped on an overstuffed chair.
She said I wasn't at all able,
so I jumped on the mahogany table.
She told me to leave the dining room,
so I jumped on the big wood loom.
She told me no—for her sanity,
so I jumped onto her vanity.
She told me I needed to get out
for a good fifteen-minute time-out.
I stalked to my room, slamming the door.
Then I jumped on the bed some more.
If I Were Sleeping Beauty
By Katie Lew, 11
Honorable Mention
If I could take Sleeping Beauty's place,
life would be perfect for me.
If I were cursed to sleep forever,
I'd happily agree.
'Cause think of all those chores
going down the drain.
Think of all those days
you're not walking home in the rain.
Think of all those dirty floors
that won't mean sweeping for you.
Think of all that homework
you'll never have to do.
But best of all,
better than all I just said,
your parents would never
send you to bed!

Mazda Tribute Models and Tribute History
The five-passenger Tribute was unveiled in 2001, touting a feature-loaded SUV crossover with plenty of room inside and a stylish appearance. It was powered by a very capable 3.0-liter V6 engine that was rated at 200 horsepower. Changes to different trim levels were the only notable revisions made for 2002 and 2003. In 2004, door edge guards were added as an option, and auto-dimming mirrors and a compass were also added to the options lineup. 2005 marked major changes including a new base engine, a redesigned exterior, a brand new all-wheel-drive system and a new shifter that was floor-mounted. Mazda made all trims come with ABS braking as a standard feature for this model year, too. The Tribute would pass through 2006 and 2007 virtually unchanged. In 2008, the SUV was revamped from top to bottom, offering a new interior and exterior style, and higher quality components. The 2009 Tribute offered a more powerful engine, a new six-speed automatic transmission, redesigned seating and a laundry list of new standard equipment. The 2010 and 2011 model years saw minor tweaks made to standard equipment and options, and were otherwise unchanged.

We really enjoyed visiting in Paris and the appartment was very suitable for our family (4 adult). Also the Bastille area was very good for us. It was very easy to use metro and go where ever we wanted to go in Paris.
We had a few questions and Alex ansvered everytime really quickly. We can recommend this place for the others also. Thank you Alex!
The apartament was perfect For us. The location, very comfortable and clean.
The apartment is located in a central part of Paris (northern Marais) from where it is easy to to reach many of the top touristic sights by foot. The walk to the next Metro station takes about 10 minutes. Despite its central location the apartment is quiet and a good place to relax from strenous sightseeing or shopping-trips. There are many bistrots, brasseries, deli-shops and an old neighbourhood market in the immediate vicinity.
The apartment itself is quite spacious, especially compared to the typical hotelrooms. The interior is pleasant and well equipt.
Nice size for 4 people. Good location. Lots of places to eat. Grocery store close by. Very secure apartment. Would stay here again.
Nice and clean apartment in a great area full of life, restaurants and shops.
Lovely bed but the owner might consider to place curtains in the bedroom, as it gets very light early in the morning.
Alex is a good host. He responds quickly to our emails and questions and we could even check in earlier. :)
Comfortable and well placed apartment.
Ideal for visiting PARIS.
Perfect apartment on a perfect location in the great city of Paris, and for a reasonable price. Highly recommended.
The location its great, but the flat have many flaws! The bathroom, there's not much counter room, by the shower, there's no where to hang even a towel when you get out! The sponge they provide for cleaning the dishes was black and with hair on it. It almost look like they clean the floor! Other then that, the flat is just right beside a Tibetan restaurant, it was really good. Outside the flat has a nice courtyard.
It is a great appartment.! Very quiet and spacious. Maby a bit dark because of the surrounding buildings. Very quiet, and still situated in an extremely attractive area of the city.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.

I've been having some trouble coming up with a generic formula for figuring out the closest interception point between two travelling objects, and I'd appreciate any help on this.
Here's the context:
- Object A will travel at a defined constant speed and angle. Object B does not have a defined angle, only speed:
- Object B is perpendicularly distant to object A's path by a certain amount. The intersection of B's perpendicular distance to A's path gives point P:
- Object B will move at a certain angle, calculated with the formula, as such to intercept A with the shortest travel possible:
- When both objects start to move (A with its predefined speed and angle, B with its predefined speed and calculated angle), they will meet at a specific point, taking as little time as possible for this:
Note there are a couple of cases where B will not intercept A:
- When B is positioned "ahead" of A in A's path (like in these diagrams), if B takes more time than A to reach point P then B can never intercept A (since B can't even reach A by the shortest distance possible, which would be the perpendicular distance).
- When B is positioned behind A in A's path, if B's speed is equal to or less than A's then B can never reach A (they'll either move by the same amount and never get closer, or A will only gain on B).
I have an early-out test for these, so proceeding to calculate the angle\point of interception is the difficulty!
So far I had something that used the time B took to reach P, and how far A travelled along this time. A's travel subtracted from the distance from A-to-P gives a sort of B's "advantage" distance over A. We know that the point of closest interception we want to calculate lies between this segment, until point P.
I also tried (fruitlessly) to model the tangent transformation of segment BP so as to figure out which angle segment BP needs to be transformed by to become a segment that intersects A's path, and that B takes the same amount of time to travel this segment as does A to get to the point of intersection:
In the above example, B should cover distance BI as fast as A covers distance AI. By "as fast" I mean, "in as many logic cycles as"; there's no unit of time. Both objects move by their speeds and angles at every logic cycle.

Product Questions
It does not, but the pump installs inline with your existing feed line so in most cases no extra tubing is necessary assuming your system is already plumbed from the water source to the RO/DI unit.
Unfortunately, as the sediment filter beings to clog over time, this can create resistance to flow and may negatively impact the performance of the booster pump. For this reason we don't recommend installing the booster after the prefilters. If you have concerns with larger particulates affecting your booster pump, we do have a more open-mesh strainer device for installation prior to the booster pump, located here http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/dm-fit-filter-strainer.html.
Have a great day!
The pressure will depend on your incoming water parameters but 20psi would be pretty typical. No worries about going too far though, the pump itself has a pressure bypass on top that will allow you to turn it down if its too high.
We do recommend the booster pump to increase your pressure above 50 PSI. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
The Quick connect fittings can be removed once installed. This is a matter of holding the mur lock gasket with one hand and pulling and twisting the tubing out like with a finger trap. I have included a link below to instructions on removing the tubing. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
What maximum pressure can I use without worrying that something going to explode,
Thank you .
Where should I connect the booster pump,the first think Or after two canisters filter before marbrane?
The Booster pump kit is all you will need to have increased pressure. Your current ASO will work great!
The pressure you are getting and the issue you are describing sounds like your unit's flow restrictor/flush valve may be in the open position. The white cylinder on the waste (black) line on top will have a small black valve on it which should be closed (perpendicular) for normal operation. If it is open, you will not get proper pressure.
If we can be of further assistance, please let us know. Have a great day and happy reefing!
With a set up such as yours we would recommend the Booster pump if possible to keep the pressure optimal for the membrane. DI resin will tend to deplete quickly in the first several gallons and slow down after that. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
Currently only the 1/4" booster pump is available in kit form. We carry the 3/8" pump as a replacement pump for folks that already have a system, though you could buy a power supply and pressure switch to make your own 'kit".
Full Details
The Aquatec 8800 Booster Pump Kit Includes and Features:
- Aquatec 8800 Booster Pump
- Aquatec transformer
- Aquatec PSW pressure switch
- ¼" push connect fittings
- Patented "flex-mount" base plate which significantly dampens vibrations and reduces noise
- Adjustable pump pressure
- Adjustable shut-off pressure point
Note: Aquatec 8800 Booster Pumps do require a minimum of 20 PSI to operate. Not having proper pressure feeding the booster pump will cause poor performance, and void the warranty.
What a water saver By AZAlliare on 3/23/2017AZAlliare would recommend this product to a friendBefore getting the booster I could make 30 gallons of RO/DI water in 36 hours on my 35-40 psi supply. After the booster I can make 30 gallons in 7 hours. I'm now adding the second RO membrane system to get more water without wasting so much water. I'm in AZ and water is important here!
Nice pump By Flawedexistence on 2/24/2017Flawedexistence would recommend this product to a friendSince purchasing my BRS RO/DI system I've been somewhat plagued with low water pressure in the system. Usually I see about 45psig, which is pretty marginal so I purchased the booster pump. It makes a big difference! My psig shot up to 90. The pump is easily adjusted with a small hex wrench and I set mine at 80psig. Water flow is very strong now. I mounted the pump on the wall just below my RO/DI setup. Took maybe 20 minutes to install everything. Well satisfied.
Needed adjustment, but works great otherwise By J-Bird on 2/23/2017J-Bird would recommend this product to a friendThe pump itself arrived only putting out 60psi, which was practically useless for $150. The pressure switch cut off was only at 40psi as well. Thankfully I figured out how to adjust them, so now the pump puts out 90psi against the RO membrane and the pressure switch cuts out at 70psi on the tank side.
Working great so far, the power supply and pump itself is quite heavy and feels quality. Only complaint is the vibration is audible across the house, but I'm sure some anti-vibration rubber mounts will help. Also one of the brackets for the pump came broken, so it only has 3 mounting holes on mine, not 4.
Works great By Kawajetski914 on 2/14/2017Kawajetski914 would recommend this product to a friendI had a boosted pump that really didn't do the job. So I lost hope.than Aquatec 8800 was popping up all over the web.after reading the reviews, I decide to give it a try..well as you read above this pump does everything you need it to do. Save waste water pump out cleaner RO water faster and no Nosie. VERY HAPPY with this pump.
Awesome By Jason on 1/14/2017Jason would recommend this product to a friendAllows your RO/DI system to run at the recommended PSI instead of whatever your water pressure is from the city. Shutdown switch works great. Setup and mounting the pump is simple.
Aquatec Booster Pump By Brandon L. on 1/7/2017Brandon L. would recommend this product to a friendI'm kicking myself for not purchasing this before. In all my years of reefing, this has got to be one of the best additions I have ever made. Was at 45psi before and at 95 now. Water was a trickle before and it's now a nice steady stream. My unit vibrates quite a bit. It's mounted on the wall and is audible in my daughters bedroom up above my garage. Minus one star for the vibration but this thing seriously kicks butt.
Worth every Penny! By keith on 12/9/2016keith would recommend this product to a friendI bought my RO/DI unit and I was only getting 35 psi. Once I bought this booster pump, it is now reading 90 psi. It works so much faster and much better than it use to. The TDS is at 6 now and the best I was getting before was 11. If you are getting less than 50 psi, I would highly recommend this!
Super Quiet, low vibration - really works! By Jerry on 12/6/2016Jerry would recommend this product to a friendLike others here, my water pressure was down around 40psi. At that pressure, the RO unit is very inefficient and you get mostly waste water. I'm super pleased with this booster pump. I agree with the other reviewers, Even if you have "ok" water pressure, this will boost it to the optimum level for the RO unit. You'll get much more filtered water and much less waste water. It will extend the life of some of your key filter components too. I also want to mention how quiet this pump is. This pump is barely audible. All you can hear is a soft low thrum. It's also low RPM, so it has very little vibration. The vibration it does have is low frequency, and the rubberized mounting pads easily absorb it. I can set this on a table top and it doesn't budge. The power supply consists of a white module, with a fairly long power cord on each side (one running to the pump, the other to your AC outlet). The pump comes with two rubber plugs sticking out of the input/output holes. You really have to pull really hard to get these out. A note to that effect would be good in the instructions. The video doesn't mention this either. In one scene they are there, and in the next they are magically gone.
Wish I had got this sooner! By Chris on 12/6/2016Chris would recommend this product to a friendAfter many years of using RO/DI units at typical residential house pressures I finally broke down and bought this...wish I had done it sooner!
Typical pressures at the unit would run from 30-40 PSI before...now consistently run at 90 PSI. The performance boost is amazing. Not only rate of creating product water...but rejection ration and rate at which DI resin is consumed.
Seems a bit pricey until you see what it can do...would never run my RO/DI without one now!
1/4" Aquatec 8800 Booster Pump Kit Does what it says. By Joseph on 10/2/2016Joseph would recommend this product to a friendBoosted my pressure from 40 psi to 90. Works Great!
Wow you need this... By franksreefs on 8/24/2016franksreefs would recommend this product to a friendI have a well with enough pressure for normal household things. I'd heard that a booster pump was necessary if you have a well. So when the RO unit and the pump arrived, I set it up WITHOUT the pump just to see what would happen. I purchased the glycerin-filled pressure gauge so I could see the pressure as it was operating. Pressure was 20-30psi and the unit was barely producing any water. So I hooked up the pump and wow what a difference! Very satisfied. You seriously need a booster pump with a well.
Booster pump By Chuck on 8/5/2016Chuck wouldn't recommend this product to a friendIf you are like me and on a well, this booster pump is a must. My RO/DI unit would not produce anything worth talking about, but after installing this booster pump, I am now producing about 7 gph.

Funds will go to testing with new Common Core standards
POCATELLO Idaho - Tuesday afternoon the Pocatello/Chubbuck School Board met in an executive session regarding how it would spend the $441,000 levy approved at the beginning of the current school year. The money will be used for the new SBAC (Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium) tests.
The district plans on spending about $286,000 for upgrades to the network and additional computers. They will also spend about $40,000 on additional staff (proctors) for the exams that will be held Apr. 1 through May 15.
The school district said it wants parents to feel informed about the new tests being piloted under the new Common Core standards, so they have made the practice tests available online.
"Those practice tests were specifically designed for teachers, for parents and for students to they could understand what's being tested and how it's being tested," said Kathy Luras, Curriculum and Assessment Coordinator.
