By Joe Brewin
The support of the Arsenal fans has helped Wojciech Szczesny shrug off conceding eight goals at Old Trafford.
The young goalkeeper was voted player of the month for August after some impressive displays between the posts for the Gunners – despite letting in ten goals along the way.
Szczesny revealed his delight at the accolade, and also showed his appreciation to the Arsenal faithful for their continued support.
"I am very happy that the fans appreciate what I did last month," he said. "It's great to get that award.
"Does it make a difference if I let in eight goals or not? For me it doesn't. The fans are so confident in me and believe in me and I am very thankful that they voted for me."
The Polish international kept a clean sheet on Saturday as Arsenal registered their first Premier League victory of the season against Swansea, and hailed the Arsenal defence for a strong display.
"We were pleased to get the win which was the most important thing, and me personally I am very happy with the clean sheet as well," he added. "Our backline did well today."
Szczesny admitted he was under no illusions of the team's disappointing start to the campaign, but says it is all part and parcel of life in the Premier League.
"It has been strange in a way, but that's the life of a footballer. "Sometimes there are ups, sometimes there are downs and you have to deal with them."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Reviews of this property
Lovely place outside the center but with the tram you're at the main train station within 15 minutes... awesome restaurants near by and the communication just worked fine... we would go back. Clean apartment, amazing view from the terass just perfect
A lovely, clean and safe flat to stay for a few days. We especially liked the terrace, which was one of the main reasons to choose this particular place. It is a bit far from the centre, but well connected by public transport. We did not find the neighbourhood as charming as we hoped, but that's of course only a matter of taste. It would be good to have a few more things in the kitchen, like big coffee mugs and some more kitchen utensils (big knife, cooking spoon, spatula etc) But we managed perfectly. Would stay again!
Thank You Tatiana for the lovely stay in Julia's Angel's. We really loved our stay in Rome. We liked the appartement very much.Everything we asked for was provided and we had all the space we needed. It is also not too far from the center of Rome so that is really nice. Thank you so much for everything.
Gwen,Paulien and Jeffrey
The apartment was not described correctly. There were two "bedrooms" were two rooms, one of which was a combined kitchen, bedroom and living room. It's not ok!
Nice terrace, but if it's cold it can not be used and terrace furniture has to be dragged in to a table in the apartment.
Kitchen defective!
Toilet facilities could be much better. Bother with toilet grinder, and poor shower.
Hot water is in short supply when there are 4 in the apartment is to be asked.
Two stars due terrace
Henrik Lauridsen
Lejligheden var ikke beskrevet korrekt. Der stod to " bedrooms" der var to rum, hvoraf det ene var et kombineret køkken, soveværelse og opholdsrum. Det er ikke ok!
Dejlig terrasse, men hvis det er koldt kan den ikke bruges, og terassemøblerne skal slæbes ind for at have et bord i lejligheden.
Køkkenudstyr mangelfuldt!
Toiletforhold kunne være meget bedre. Bøvl med toiletkværn, og dårlig bruser.
Varmt vand en mangelvare når der er 4 i lejligheden der skal have bad.
To stjerner pga. Terrassen
Henrik Lauridsen
We (family of 4) spent 5 days at this apartment. We were warmly welcomed by Alberto, which was a very nice start of our vacation. The neighborhood is very special. In particular the street across the bridge. At daytime you can get all your needs for a a good breakfast at the bars, alimentaire and market stalls. And at night the street transforms in the coolest place in town, with restaurants and bars.
Warmly recommended.
The service on arrival was very good!
We were kindly received.
The standard of the apartment has led us, he prefers to move to 3 from 4 nights in a nearby hotel.
It would be nice if the sanitary facilities are consistent with the present state and the beds were more comfortable.
Die Betreuung bei der Anreise war sehr gut!
Wir wurden freundlich aufgenommen.
Der Standard der Wohnung hat uns dazu veranlasst, nach 3 von 4 Übernachtungen dann doch lieber in ein nahe gelegenes Hotel umzuziehen.
Es wäre schön, wenn die sanitären Anlagen dem heutigen Stand entsprächen sowie die Betten etwas komfortabler wären.
The apartment was as expected, not least the splendid terrace. The apartment is in a nice quiet area with public transportation "on the doorstep". Alberto, Sergio and Anne Thank you all for the way they were available at. In Rome itself, we had a lot of wonderful experiences so all in all it was the whole holiday a success. At Alberto's recommendation, we rented a car and drove to Pompei .... amazing experience that can only be recommended others. Perhaps we come to Rome again and then we'll see if the apartment is vacant :-). On behalf of the family ...... Arrivederci
Lejligheden var som forventet, ikke mindst den pragtfulde terrasse. Lejligheden ligger i et dejligt stille og roligt område med offentlig transport "lige uden for døren". Alberto, Sergio og Anne skal alle have tak for den måde de var til rådighed på. I selve Rom havde vi en masse dejlige oplevelser så alt i alt var hele ferien en succes. På Albertos anbefaling lejede vi en bil og kørte til Pompei....fantastisk oplevelse som kun kan anbefales andre. Måske kommer vi til Rom igen og så må vi jo se om lejligheden er ledig :-). På familiens vegne......Arrivederci
We had a great holiday in Rome! The apartment was really nice, the check-in a bit complicated, because the lady who showed us the apartment, spoke no English. But Translate via laptop and everything was fast! To park in the garage was also present, everything was great!
Wir hatten einen tollen Urlaub in Rom! Das Apartment war richtig schön, der Check-In etwas kompliziert, weil die Dame, die uns die Wohnung gezeigt hat, kein englisch sprach. Aber via Laptop und Translate ging alles flott! Eine Parkmöglichkeit in einer Garage war auch vorhanden, alles top!
Great place! Hospitality was amazing and the host very kind. It's located near a popular night time hang-out place for young people with very good food. Totally recommended!
The location of the apartment was good. Close to bus and tram. It only took 15 minutes to reach Termini Station by tram. The apartment had a very nice balcony. The apartment itself was okay, but the cleaning could have been a little better. The shower was extremely narrow and small. The host Alberto was kind.

This is a beautifully top-floor apartment (5th floor but no elevator) loft furnished in a semi art nouveau style and located in a pedestrian-only area known as the Quartier Montorgueil, famous for its markets and restaurants. Whether you like sushi, Italian, Middle Eastern or just incredible French food, you'll find it in the Quartier Montorgueil.
It's high ceilings and 200 year old wood beams gives it a definite old-world charm while offering all the modern comforts of cable TV (with several English-speaking channels), an internet access and a very well equipped kitchen (a chef's dream).
숙소규정No smoking, no pets.

L'appartamento era perfetto, centralissimo, comodo, pulito e super accessoriato,
il wifi funzionava. A pochi passi una via piena di negozi supermercati e ristoranti.
Nessun problema per le chiavi.
Séjour agréable, appartement de grande qualité, une vraie surprise à l'arrivée. Nous récidiverons avec ce logement. Merci
Supernette Wohnung in einer sehr belebten und angenehmen Gegend. Viele Sehenswürdigkeiten sind zu Fuß zu erreichen, die Metro befindet sich ebenfalls in der Nähe. Die Wohnung ist ausgesprochen gemütlich und toll ausgestattet und befindet sich in einem schönen Haus mit wunderbar grünem Innenhof. Einziger Nachteil: bei heißem Wetter, wie wir es hatten, wird es in der Dachgeschosswohnung natürlich sehr heiß und der Schlaf wird durch den Strassenlärm etwas gestört. Alles in allem waren wir aber wirklich begeistert.
이 호스트의 또 다른 숙소후기
The appartment has an unusual but interesting and smart floor plan. Lots of rustic and old feel mixed with modern stuff.
We were missing a pair of scissors and a coffee mug or two, but after a mail to John we got the stuff the same day.
A faint odor from the very bottom of the stairs connecting the loft with the rest of the apartment but it wasn't too bad.
Overall we were very happy with our stay.
The Hollmark family from Stockholm, Sweden.
Nice, clean and perfectly located. Highly recommended!
I went to Paris to spent four days with my sister and I found a very dirty flat. Anyway the neighborhood was very nice. We had to change the sheets because they had stains. Under the table there were some dirty socks. Wifi was available only for first 24 hours. I had to contact with the owner five times and the only answer was "how can I solve the problem?, in most places of Paris there was free wifi."
I wouldn't recommend this flat because it's was a unpleasant experience with it.
We had a wonderful time in Paris and mostly because of our quite small but very comfortable and convenient apartment. It's situated in a strategic position: Although it's really close to any kind of shop and many good restaurants and bars, it's in the internal part of the building so it is very silent. Absolutely suggested.
The apartment is smaller than the pictures, and is no so beauty as the pictures.
Actually this is not a recommendable place.
When we arrived we think "We should have gone to an hotel".
We never met John as from what I understand this is a company of various apartments in Paris, so we were greeted by Guillermo (I presume an employee) a very pleasant guy who was happy to give us some tips on the Area but as he had to shoot off to another apartment could not stay to long and chat.
The flat is small, smaller than the actual pictures (30 m in totall / 2 rooms ) but nice and clean. Kitchen is also smaller in real life! Bathroom is a few years old but clean. To be honest we where a bit disappointed with the size since for this price I think we could have got a larger / nicer flat but due to late booking this was one of the few available for our dates and Area,
Advantages: The area, Le Marais is one of the better spots to stay in Paris , (close to everything) and the district is quite trendy with many places to dine and wine and shops / Galeries and the Sunday market is quite an experience.
Disadvantages, the price and size of apartment, being an attic with fairly high windows does not help too much, although the flat is quite bright.
In all not sure if we got our value for money here, I have seen better flats with similar or lower prices, however the service was good and no real complains with the company or Wimdu
Would I go back to the same flat, I dont think so as next time I would book in advance just to find a better deal for my cash.

Muir Woods National Monument has two new public electric vehicle chargers available free to the public.
The chargers were installed last week by Adopt a Charger with a grant from Pacific Gas and Electric Co.
The chargers are operated on a first-come, first-serve basis and are at the main parking area nearest the visitor center and entrance.
By "adopting" a charger, PG&E agreed to make a donation to Adopt a Charger to cover the cost of hardware, installation, maintenance, electrical usage and administration for three years at each charging site. The chargers were donated to the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, which operates the visitor center at Muir Woods on behalf of the National Park Service.


text: I've been buying 250's and accessories for 3 years now and I've yet to see a small grip module. I just purchased one from a guy on the P250Sig forum, but I have yet to receive it. Unfortunately, I think I got hosed on the deal. For some reason, they are hard to find. You should be able to find a medium grip. There's quite a difference between it and the large grip.

A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens, adapted by Adrian Hall and Richard Cumming
Elf The Musical kicked the holiday season off last week, and now Trinity Rep is launching its earliest-ever staging of A Christmas Carol. But after the bruising electioneering, we need all the cheer we can get. This year's take on Adrian Hall and Richard Cumming's adaptation of the Dickens classic stars Timothy Crowe as Scrooge and is helmed by associate artistic director Tyler Dobrowsky. And Eugene Lee will be the designer, working his first Carol in more than 20 years. Dobrowsky says, "My childhood experience with this show [the first professional production he attended] has really informed how I am approaching staging the play. I want to create a show that anyone seeing live theater for the first time — or the 31st time — would really, really love. For me, that means magic, wonder, humor and, of course, some cool ghosts and surprises." The show will be staged 44 times through December 29 at 201 Washington St, Providence | $15-$70 (previews Nov 10- 18 $15-$36) | 401.351.42442 | trinityrep.com

New pictures are up! There is a new bed and the room was just freshly painted, as seen in the first picture. The rest of the pictures were from before it was painted. A new patio set is also now in, but not pictured!
This offer is for private use of the master bedroom (approximately 18x14) in a two bedroom apartment in the East Village which is perfect for a single or couple, who want to stay in a clean apartment and experience living in a great neighborhood in NYC, all while saving a few bucks from pricey NYC hotels that are usually located in tourist trap areas.
It's very clean and has things no hotel can offer, like the outdoor patio right outside the bedroom! The building also has a 24 hour doorman / security, gym, laundry room and killer roof deck with views of NYC and its bridges.
This posting is for a private room in a shared apartment with myself (separate bedroom) and/or occasionally another traveler(s). There is a small fridge, microwave, coffee maker and a hot plate to do a little light cooking/heating up food, along with utensils and table ware and glasses. The bathroom is composed of shower, sink and toilet, very clean, shared with myself, when I'm around.
If you're the physical type, there is a gym (free) for your use in the basement of the building as well as a laundry room (coin operated), vending machines and ATM as well.
This neighborhood is very lively after the sun goes down. The East Village has been heavily built up over the last 5 years and located in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Manhattan. The East Village offers a variety of restaurants, cafes, bars and a beautiful park. You can walk to Indian, Russian, Italian, Mexican, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Vegetarian and American restaurants within a 5 block radius. If you're too tired and beat up from touring NYC and don't feel like going anywhere, you can simply order in and have anything delivered to the room (usually until 11 pm or midnight). And these little privately owned restaurants are MUCH better than midtown/tourist-trap food chain places. There are at least three 24/h places to eat within 1 block.
This building is one of only a few in the neighborhood that has a doorman and an elevator. About 95% of the buildings in the area are walk-ups. Your "home away from home" will provide the NYC experience not soon forgotten: the spectacular panoramic view of NYC on the roof deck (elevator and outdoor furniture up there), a private outdoor patio with table and chairs, huge courtyard in middle of complex, about 100 restaurant/bars/cafes/shops within a 3 block radius and probably 500 within a 10 block radius. Enjoy a beautiful park (Tompkins Square) at the end of the block and an East River waterfront park about 4 streets/blocks to the east.
For an additional fee, I can serve as your personal tour guide (or recommend various other tour guides specific to certain areas of NYC as well as recommend the cool, not-in-the-guide-books places for nightlife or dinner).
House rulesAGAIN, PLEASE DO NOT MAKE BOOKING / RESERVATION REQUEST UNTIL I CONFIRM AVAILABILITY!
For stays of more than 7 nights, a small deposit will be required pending on length of requested stay and cleaning charge of $25 every 7 days (paid directly to house cleaner). I'm sorry, but single night bookings will not be accepted unless they are within 7 days of arrival.
Linen will be clean when you arrive. If you wish to wash them while you are here, there is a laundry room in the basement to do it yourself. Towels will also be clean; used towels will be collected and washed every few days when needed. Continental breakfast is included in the rate. It's made of juice, milk, coffee, tea, bread or bagels or cereal.

Reviews of this property
Bruce has been a very nice host. The flat is in the basement, but quit nice with a great view from the rooftop!
Its a bit of a walk to the next subway, but not that bad. East Village is a great area for bars and restaurants.
We stayed in Bruce's apartment for 8 days, at the beginning of October. Bruce was a great host, and the room was big and comfortable. It was very clean when we first arrived and there was a small fridge with some complimentary food and drinks - nice touch. I would recommend this place to my friends. We really enjoyed our stay, thanks Bruce!
Bruce was a really nice and helpful host. He gave us a lot of good information that helped us making our trip even better. His apartment was absolutely clean, the room that we stood at was comfortable and we had a lot of space; additionally, the bed was just really nice. Throughout our stay, Bruce respected our privacy and was still available in case we had a question. Thank you for a great time!
It was great at Bruce's. Nice little Room with everything needed and pretty well connected to the center of Manhattan. Also some nice Bars arround.
We had 8 nights at the property and were very pleased. Bruce was an excellent host.
Previously, he sent us the exact directions. Cleared in advance on what we wanted to have breakfast and filled the fridge with it exactly. A great reception. He answered all our questions and gave advice.
The room was clean. The bathroom we had to share with him, which was not a problem. The apartment block has an own roof terrace. Madness, a panoramic view of Manhattan. To cook the room is not very suitable, because you have to put the two electric hot plates on the dining table, but everything is there, what you need for it.
The area is safe and with many cafés and pubs it has a student and invigorated.
We have felt very comfortable and can recommend it. Thank you Bruce!
Wir waren 8 Nächte in der Unterkunft und waren sehr zufrieden. Bruce war ein hervorragender Gastgeber.
Zuvor sendete er uns die genaue Wegbeschreibung. Klärte im Vorfeld ab, was wir frühstücken wollten und befüllte den Kühlschrank genau damit. Ein klasse Empfang. Er beantwortete alle unsere Fragen und gab Tipps.
Das Zimmer war sauber. Das Bad mussten wir uns mit ihm teilen, was aber kein Problem war. Der Wohnblock besitzt eine eigne Dachterrasse. Wahnsinn, ein Rundumblick über Manhatten. Zum Kochen ist das Zimmer nicht sehr geeignet, da man die zwei Elektroherdplatten auf den Esstisch stellen muss, dennoch ist alles da, was man dafür benötigt.
Die Gegend ist sicher und mit vielen Cafés und Kneipen wirkt sie sehr studentisch und belebt.
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können es weiter empfehlen. Danke Bruce!
We really enjoyed staying here. Bruce is a friendly guy who obviously takes great care of both the apartment and the contact / communication with us. Clear and practical info beforehand and durng our stay, nice and clean apartment and a breakfast that we could specify some things we like. I definitely recommend this place to others and would love to stay with him again.
Good base in the north and south of Manhattan. All Public Must be good, for example, reached by city bikes. Immediately within three Citybike stations. Many good restaurants and pubs in the East Village around the corner. Top roof terrace with great views.
Guter Ausgangspunkt in den Norden und Süden von Manhattan. Alle Sightseeing Must sind gut, z.b. mit den Citybikes erreichbar. Unmittelbar im Umkreis sind drei Citybike Stationen. Viele gute Restaurants und Kneipen im East Village um die Ecke. Top Dachterrasse mit Super Aussicht.
Bruce was an incredibly gracious host who has supplied in advance with tips. All agreements folded fine, we even got a 2nd mattress and on a rainy day a nice letter with umbrellas. Although Bruce and a friend lived in the apartment, we never got it to actually face, only one night there was a loud quarrel. The room was very large and spacious. And the location is really great. All in all, highly recommended!
Great location, very central and Bruce is a very friendly and helpful host.
Bruce war ein unglaublich freundlicher Gastgeber der schon im Vorfeld mit Tips versorgt hat. Alle Absprachen klappten prima, wir bekamen sogar eine 2. Matratze und an einem Regentag einen netten Brief mit Schirmen. Obwohl auch Bruce und eine Freundin in den Apartment lebten, bekamen wir sie eigentlich nie zu Gesicht, nur eine Nacht gab es einen lauten Streit. Das Zimmer war sehr groß und geräumig. Und die Lage ist wirklich großartig. Alles in allem wirklich zu empfehlen!
Great location, very central and Bruce ist a very friendly and helpful host.
The room with a king-size bed, desk, sitting area and TV / fridge / air conditioning / coffeemaker / dishes / utensils is highly recommended for a holiday in New York. The room is in the basement of a large apartment block in the beautiful East Village with an ideal base for all areas of interest. The nearest subway is about 15 minutes to walk -. Supermarkets, bars and restaurants are around the corner.
In the basement is a fitness room and on the roof an ingenious terrace overlooking Manhattan's south. For athletes also offers a jogging route along the East River Park.
The bathroom with shower and toilet and the kitchen equipment in the hallway (hotplates, toaster / grill, microwave) are to share with Bruce and his partner, but since both of them were not often present, there were never collisions - neither in the bathroom nor in the preparation of breakfast. The ingredients for breakfast are (several times) provided by Bruce as desired worried and in the fridge - the preparation is then up to the residents themselves.
Bruce, we really enjoyed our stay in your apartment and highly recommend it to others! Thank you for your perfect hospitality! Hopefully we will see us again soon in NYC.
Das Zimmer mit King-Size-Bett, Schreibtisch, Sitzecke und TV/Kühlschrank/Klimaanlage/Kaffeemaschine/Geschirr/Besteck ist sehr zu empfehlen für einen Urlaub in New York. Das Zimmer befindet sich im Souterrain eines größeren Wohnblocks im schönen East Village mit einer idealen Ausgangslage für alle Sehenwürdigkeiten. Zur nächsten Subway sind ca. 15 Min. zu laufen - Supermärkte, Kneipen und Restaurants sind ums Eck.
Im Keller ist ein Fitnessraum und auf dem Dach eine geniale Terrasse mit Blick über Manhattan´s Süden. Für Sportler bietet sich auch eine Laufstrecke entlang des East River Parks an.
Das Bad mit Dusche und WC und die Küchengeräte am Gang (Kochplatten, Toaster/Grill, Microwelle) sind mit Bruce und seiner Partnerin zu teilen, da beide jedoch nicht oft anwesend waren, gab es nie Kollisionen - weder im Bad noch bei der Zubereitung des Frühstücks. Die Zutaten für das Frühstück werden von Bruce nach Wunsch (auch mehrmals) besorgt und in den Kühlschrank gestellt - die Zubereitung obliegt dann den Bewohnern selbst.
Bruce, we really enjoyed our stay in your apartment and highly recommend it to others! Thank you for your perfect hospitality! Hopefully we will see us again in NYC soon.
Thanks a lot Bruce!
Everything was perfect. You are a great host!
The apartment was very clean.
We recommend a stay at Bruce` apartment!
The apartment really has everything you could possibly need. Bruce has kept even German socket adapters and power strip.
The surrounding area has some nice restaurants and the nearby metro line one is very fast in Times Square.
He really is very concerned about its visitors. Very pleasant!
Thanks a lot Bruce!
Everything was perfect. You are a great host!

Das Appartment hat wirklich alles was man so braucht. Bruce hat sogar deutsche Steckdosenadapter und eine Steckerleiste aufbewahrt.
Die Umgebung hat einige nette Restaurants und mit der naheliegenden U-Bahn-Linie ist man sehr schnell am Times Square.
Er ist wirklich sehr um seine Besucher bemüht. Sehr angenehm!

Back injuries are almost impossible to play though. It can feel 100% one second and then send a jolting pain through your body the next. It is much tougher to play through than a constant pain. If anyone deserved the benefit of the doubt, it is AI. Also, he was injured before he lost his starting job.

For decades, childhood obesity rates have been on the rise. Now some U.S. cities, including Philadelphia, New York City and Los Angeles, are seeing progress in their fight against fat. Declining childhood obesity rates have also been reported in parts of Mississippi, the state with the highest obesity rate in the nation.
The first drops in the number of overweight children came in a September report by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The foundation works to improve health for Americans. New York City showed a 5.5% drop in the number of overweight children from 2007 to 2011. Philadelphia showed a 4.7% drop, and Los Angeles a 3% drop.
Making the Effort
From 1980 to 2000, the percentage of obese U.S. kids aged 6 to 19 tripled. About 9 million children were excessively overweight. Being overweight can lead to serious health problems, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer and high blood pressure. Type 2 diabetes, once considered an adult disease, has increased greatly in young people.
In 2011, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) began a project to combat childhood obesity. The project's goal is to find ways to make healthy changes in a community's schools, food stores, parks and other places.
"Obese children are more likely to have asthma, depression, diabetes, and other serious and costly health problems," said CDC Director Thomas R. Frieden in a statement. "This project will help figure out ways our children can grow up to lead long, healthy and productive lives."
Healthy Choices
The cities and states with declining childhood obesity rates have followed the CDC's suggestions. Philadelphia works with an organization called the Food Trust to connect schools with local farms and bring fresh vegetables to cafeterias. New York City has required chain restaurants to post calorie information on their menus. Mississippi created a program called "Fruits & Veggies: More Matters" to teach kids how to add healthy foods to their daily diets.
Schools nationwide are doing their part. Fried food has disappeared from many cafeteria menus. Whole-wheat bread has replaced white bread. Drinks like water and low-fat milk have replaced sugary beverages, including fruit punch, sports drinks and soda. Many schools have banned junk food and require healthier snack options in vending machines.
Jim Marks of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the group that issued the obesity report, thinks the message is clear. "Any community that makes these kind of changes over a few years will see their children get healthier," he told TIME's Alexandra Sifferlin. "They will see these improvements and, we hope, more over time."

Unique program synergizes veterans, education, and agriculture.
Patriotism shined bright at the Ag Warriors Gala at World Ag Expo in Tulare, Calif., last evening. It marked the official launch of the International Agri-Center's Ag Warriors Program which will benefit returning veteransby placing them in long-term professions in agriculture.
The evening opened with a beautiful rendition of the National Anthem by New York City's "singing policeman," Daniel Rodriguez. Grammy-award winning Michael Peterson served as emcee. He is a past recipient of the distinguished Bob Hope "Spirit of Hope" Award for his service to the nation and to servicemen and women of the Armed Forces. The Ag Warriors orchestra entertained the crowd, and videos showcasing the various branches of the U.S. military appeared on two large screens. All of these activities led to the keynote address from former President George W. Bush. Attendees enjoyed an evening of storytelling and learned of the guiding principle that helped this former president through one of the most challenging times in American history.
The Ag Warriors program is assisted by California State University, Fresno; California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo; College of the Sequoias; and West Hills College Coalinga. Returning veterans will receive training that will prepare them for careers in agriculture. The program is an in-residence course which will include class work, field work, exam preparation, testing, mentorship, and internships. It is designed to expose returning veterans to the broader aspects of the agriculture industry and to help them gain access to long-term and sustainable careers. Veterans bring real-world experience in engineering, science, and leadership – all of which are needed in agriculture and beyond.
"We believe the agricultural community is well suited to provide jobs to returning veterans," said Jerry Sinift, CEO of the International Agri-Center. "Many of our friends in agriculture have expressed a need for bright, motivated and hard-working individuals to join their teams - Ag Warriors will be the conduit that connects employers with veterans in search of careers in agriculture."
As shared at the event, the participation of the International Agri-Center, the educational institutions, and the veterans themselves, will create results with far greater impact than the individual abilities of each contributor alone. Veterans are twice as likely as their peers to succeed, and in combining them with agriculture, success is guaranteed.
Congratulations to the International Agri-Center on this trail-blazing program. We look forward to the far-reaching benefits it will provide to veterans, the agriculture community, and all those who rely on food and fiber to survive.

Control4 Acquires Card Access' Home Automation Biz
The deal allows Control4 to take over manufacturing, technical support and sales of Card Access' ZigBee devices.
By Julie Jacobson · July 7, 2014
Card Access was one of the first suppliers of ZigBee-enabled devices, making sensors, relays, range extenders, keyfobs and other accessories exclusively for Control4 home automation systems.
Now Control4 has acquired the supplier's home automation assets, including products and intellectual property. As of today, Control4 is taking over manufacturing, technical support and sales for the ZigBee devices, which were already being sold through Control4's dealer portal.
"Card Access solutions have been designed solely to enhance the capabilities of the Control4 system and they have done that beautifully for many years," said Control4 VP of Security & Communications Paul Williams in statement. "They [devices] are true workhorses, and we want to make sure our dealers know how to leverage them to create personalized solutions for their customers," added Williams.
While Card Access is exiting the home automation device manufacturing business, the company will continue business as usual producing hardware and software for telematics, military, medical and other industries.

Ever need to explain the life and death of Darth Vader to a friend, but didn't have time to sit through the 13 hours and 23 minutes of the Star Wars saga with them? Fortunately, some Italian designers have solved that problem with a pictogram that tells someone everything they need to know about the Dark Lord.
"The History of Darth Vader" is part of a series of historical pictograms that explain and satirize the life arcs of iconic people in history (real or fictional). The posters — created by H-57, an advertising and design studio located in Milan, Italy — came from a collaboration with the blog-slash-studio First Floor Under.
For the H-57 principles — Matteo Civaschi, Gianmarco Milesi, and Sabrina Di Gregorio — this isn't the first (nor probably the last) Star Wars themed project. According to the official Star Wars blog, the three are huge fans of the Saga. Last September, H-57 initiated a series of typographic posters to benefit children. Each poster depicts a key character, built exclusively from type fonts.
They printed some as gifts for customers to show H-57's creativity. Then the images of Darth Vader, Yoda, and a Stormtrooper — using typefaces with names like Bodoni Bold and Helvetica Light Condensed — were posted online and within days went viral.
A pet cat gets credit for inspiring the designers, having knocked Civaschi's Darth Vader mask to the floor and into little letter-shaped pieces. Continue Reading "The History of Darth Vader" »


text: I've got another one for this list: guys who speed, weave in and out of traffic, and tail gate when they are driving. I guess that could go under #6, because IMO anyone who would behave like that obviously thinks his having to "get places" comes first over everyone else's. As for the rest of the list in that list... GMAFB. I know someone is is 69 years old and would look hot in a Speedo because he has the body for it, and he wears a gold necklace (which really sets off his "cafe con leche" complexion), and the reason he could wear a Speedo is because he eats stuff like salads, works out (martial arts) and takes very good care of himself. He turns 70 in 10 months and looks about 50, and he's no "wrinkled-up old fuddy duddy" either. He works as a DJ, so he is hip to what's hot on the music charts. If he was about 15 years younger and wasn't already living with someone, I'd go out with him myself.

There is another thread in this forum, asking about the use of galvanized metal for solar wax melters. I recall a forum discussion on this subject about 6 months to a year ago, but, could not find it.
Jon11 was asking specifically is it ok to use galvanized metal for the wax tray. I know most of the solar melters from years past used galvanized metal, but, now days most are made with stainless steel.
Can anyone help us on the pros or cons of the use of galvanized metal for solar wax melters. Does anyone recall the thread where it was discussed.

Love story reaches from Bend to London
Near-death experience brings couple together
It's a love story that stretches 5,000 miles, from Bend all the way to London. A former NewsChannel 21 reporter met a British athlete under very unique circumstances, as a near-death experience brought the two together.
Amy and Ian Sharman describe their love as one in a billion. But it may not have started as most people would imagine.
"The people who are closest to me, my family, went through a tragedy that day," said Amy. "But I wouldn't take any of it back."
"No, because from something really bad, something good can happen," added Ian. "You just never know."
Amy worked an overnight shift at NewsChannel 21 before her accident in April 2006. She was exhausted, but geared up to drive to Seattle and see her family, when she fell asleep at the wheel on the Santiam Pass.
"When a neurosurgeon tells you, 'You're a miracle' -- it's a miracle I'm alive, it really hits you," Amy said.
Amy broke her neck, collarbone and left arm, and shattered her pelvis. Stuck in bed for four months, she got bored and thought she would find someone to talk to on MySpace.
"Up popped millions of people, and I just happened to click on Ian's profile, and I thought he looked like a fun guy. And I thought he could tell me stories and maybe get me through this," said Amy.
Ian said, "When she contacted me, I thought, 'Oh, she seems like a nice person to chat to' -- not at all thinking this was someone to date or meet one day, because she was in America and I was in London."
But after chatting day and night, and battling an eight-hour time difference, Ian flew into Redmond's Roberts Field two months later.
"If it's the right person, there's no distance that's too far, or time that's too long," Amy said. "He was worth it to me."
Three years of long-distance dating got much closer to home, when Ian ditched his job in Economics. He chose to follow his heart, and his passion for running, to America.
'I run for The North Face and a few other sponsors as well, and basically I ran a 100-mile race at the beginning of last year and did particularly well," Ian said. "It was the fastest trail miler that anyone has ever done in the U.S."
Ian has held several Guinness Book world records: including the fastest marathon time dressed as Elvis and and as a super hero, Spider-Man.
After more than 100 marathons under his belt, and traveling across the world for competitions, Ian and Amy walked down the aisle in 2010.
"And it's that immediate gasp that I see her and think, 'I get to marry her,'" Ian said.
Now the couple says they follow their dreams and live life to the fullest. They've traveled to 14 different countries and plan to visit many more.
Amy started a new wedding planning business and Ian coaches runners, and continues to compete. He could even qualify for the Olympics and win gold, if trail running is added to the roster.
Because the two feel so lucky to have found each other, they have a new outlook on life.
"Do what makes you happy," Amy said.
"Don't wait to retire," Ian added. "Do things while you're young."
"Don't wait to travel, don't wait to see the world, and don't wait to meet someone new," said Amy. "It doesn't necessarily need to be on MySpace."
"It probably shouldn't be on MySpace," joked Ian.
"But take a chance, take a risk and it could pay off," said Amy.

|I'm feeling overly romantic about New York City after last weekend. Front row seats to War Horse (only $30!), meeting up with friends at South Seaport, a birthday party for Toby in Battery Park, the perfect weather.
I've shown this clip before here (love that post). It's one of my favorite clips to watch when I'm in one of these NYC lovey dovey moods. Enjoy. Again!
thanks for the photo joanna :)

after reading clay's post about seeing a G5, i went to the website. the gallery doesn't have high-resolution photos . . . so this one had to be more of a drawing. a G5 with old school taillights and a bit of reproportionment. everything's been changed a little bit.
That looks really good! Big improvement over the current G5.
[image]http://ohv.prettyblack.jp/1971roadrunner2.jpg [/image]
Definitely an improvement over the badge-engineered Cobalt GM has now.
Much better. The cost factor would be low because it would only affect the soft area of the rear.
thanks. here's a front view.
...that is, no offense, really really ugly. i like the current front end better. the back end looks great, but i coudn't see it in production, and that's what you were going for.
that's cool, you know that! here's the original. i think the grille is too small, but that's just my opinion.
A&C, definetly looks better than the current G5. Good work.
Quote:that's cool, you know that! here's the original. i think the grille is too small, but that's just my opinion.
Quote:thanks. here's a front view.
here's an alternative rear treatment with a wraparound rear window and much larger wheelwells, tires and wheels.
HOLY...!!!That's absolutely astonishing!Pontiac designers better be looking at thisAwesome job art! Simply awesome
Not digging the front end treatment you did. The headlamps are the wrong shape I think..Perhaps combine the stock lamps with your altered grille and I think you might be on to something.Your second rear treatment with the wraparound window...I LIKE that. Makes it look kinda like a little 2nd gen firebird, or maybe a Chevy Monza.
I'm intrigued by the wrap around that you did on the second version of the G5. I don't know if I love it, but its certainly refreshing.I think the problem with the front end of art's G5 is that it makes the whole sedan look too tall. The back end looks like it would be REALLY tough to park as well. Not a favorite, but you can always count on Art to improve things 100%.
that second chop...return of Glassback GM!

Unemployment falls in nearly 90 pct. of US cities
Unemployment rates fell in nearly 90 percent of large U.S. metro areas in August, mainly because more people gave up looking for work.
The Labor Department says unemployment rates dropped in 329 large cities, the most in four months. Rates rose in 24 cities and were unchanged in 19.
The decline in rates across America's cities was largely for a bad reason: The government only counts people as unemployed if they are actively looking for work.
The trend closely matched the national figures. The U.S. unemployment rate fell in August to 8.1 percent from 8.3 percent also because more people stopped searching for jobs and weren't counted.
The metro data are more volatile than the national figures because they aren't adjusted for seasonal factors, such as summer hiring.

A 27-year-old Leesville man has been arrested after authorities said they found 540 grams of cocaine in his vehicle.
Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kim Myers said Joemarko D. James, 1221 Tower St., was arrested Tuesday morning by Sgt. Jeff Cole of the Combined Anti-Drug Task Force.
"Cole conducted a stop on the car James was driving for a traffic violation," Myers said Wednesday in a news release. "After James began to act suspiciously, Cole used his K9 partner Basco to conduct a check around the car.
"Basco provided a positive response to a controlled substance and a search of the vehicle's trunk revealed a plastic canister containing over 540 grams of cocaine. The cocaine has an estimated street value of $40,000."
James was charged with possession of cocaine over 400 grams and released after posting a $25,000 bond, which was set by Judge Wilford Carter.

English Pedigree in the Avenues Neighborhood
Haxton Manor • Salt Lake City, UT
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a Premium Suite, Mondays through Thursdays ($99) or Fridays through Sundays ($119)
- Full English-Style Breakfast for Two
- Evening Turndown Service
- Complimentary Bottled Water, Coffee, Tea, Hot Chocolate, Fresh Baked Goods, Snacks, and Candy
The Destination
Salt Lake City is best known as the capital of Utah and the world headquarters of the LDS Church, but those who've seen its gorgeous Wasatch Mountain backdrop will have a hard time associating it with anything else. In fact, the city's mountainous surroundings and the Great Salt Lake have become major draws for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers the world over. There's just as much to do in town as out thanks to a burgeoning farm-to-table restaurant scene and a healthy performing arts community connected to Brigham Young University.
The Digs
Less than two miles from downtown Salt Lake and the LDS Temple, the historic Haxton Manor brings a taste of Great Britain to the city's Avenues neighborhood. The manor was built in 1906 and has been fully restored to its original Victorian splendor, offering Old-World English décor in addition to modern updates like gas fireplaces and jetted tubs. Relax on your queen-sized bed topped with a down comforter, warm up by the fireplace in the living room, or enjoy a full English-style breakfast in the Boar's Head Pub Room.
"A lovely home in a beautiful section of Salt Lake City that has been painstakingly and lovingly restored. I especially loved the English book nook. I did not want to leave when the time came. We look forward to our next trip to this extraordinary B&B."-- TripAdvisor

New sessions court judge appointed in Washington County
JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. - A court back-logged with cases got a new judge to take up some slack.
The Washington County, Tennessee County Commission appointed Johnson city attorney Don Arnold as its new sessions court judge.
Arnold spent Friday observing as court was in session. He also sat down with us; he said he's honored and humbled to be chosen to help keep justice in the county.
"I want to help these people in the best way I can, and there is a problem with a back-log here, and there [are] too many cases, and hopefully I can do whatever is necessary to makes sure that backlog dwindles," said Arnold.
Arnold said he's spent the past several years in a private law practice, but he has previously served as an assistant district attorney and a special justice on the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Arnold is also a former Johnson City mayor, commissioner, and state legislator.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
The cinch ctx is K2's top of the line cinch binding, so it should be as stiff as they come. The Vans Fargo's are great- I stepped into those boots and immediately knew they were perfect for me. Nice and stiff, true to size, and cradled my feet perfectly.
I've been reevaluating all my angles/stance/etc - I literally haven't adjusted my stance angle since ten years ago until last week. I'm running about a +12/-3 and I might go a little more duckfooted. I'm riding centered on the board and considering moving back a smidge as well.
Also in response to MunkySpunk:
Yeah, I picked the K2's over flows for a couple reasons...one of which was the "real strap" setup. Also, I like how the K2's lift up the ankle strap when you pop down the highback...I feel like it's easier to get your boot all the way in vs. the Flows where you just get to cram it in there. I also compared the weight of the binding vs. a set of Ride straps that were sitting there and the cinch was actually a little lighter.
|You should have an easier time doing the type of riding you described. The length of the board may take some getting used to, and at your weight I might have opted for something around 159, but with 13 years of experience I'm sure you'll be just fine. The Fargo is a fairly stiff boot and should fit your riding style well also. I'm not a fan of the cinch technology, but I don't know much about those bindings. How stiff are they?
I rock the K2 Cinch's too, they're a bit heavier than normal bindings, but once you've got them dialed in, you'll never have to sit down again. I like them better than the Flows b/c they have a real strap setup even though the Flows are lighter. They're nice and snug although its 'hybrid' toe strap that's supposed to function as a toe cup or traditional toe strap sucks as a toe cup, pops up every time you wipe out from toeside.
Oh, and your board is going to probably be a bit more sluggish than you're used to (although a brand new Gnu 161 might weighs less than a 10 year old Burton 152.. dunno). But it'll hold an edge MUCH better than your Burton b/c it's edges are razor sharp, it's stiffer, and longer. Carve away.
Edit: And the move from Burton (or any) SI to a real strapped-in boot is going to be like night and day. I'd say any difficulties you meet in getting used to a longer board will be WAY more than offset by the benefit losing the SI's. You're going to feel like someone spot-welded your feet to the board.
New (bigger) board...what to expect?
Hey folks,
I've been riding for some 13 odd years. I'd consider myself a pretty advanced all-mountain rider but a relatively poor park or trick rider. I can bomb down any terrain riding normal, but I can barely ride switch, how lame is that? At least I can do pretty decent air.
So, I've never kept track of changes in equipment or really been part of the "culture." So, I've been riding the same board since 1999 - a 152.5 cm Burton Balance (really flexy light park board) with Burton SI bindings and boots....talk about uncomfortable! Still, it's what I'm used to.
Well, I just bought a totally new setup - a Gnu Rider's Choice MTX 161.5 with K2 Cinch ctx bindings and Vans Fargo boots.
What can I expect running such a bigger/stiffer board? (innuendos aside.) I'm 5'11, 165-170 lbs and have a pretty athletic build... Am I going to feel like a total noob on this thing? Should I adjust my stance? Will I be able to toss this thing around like my old board?
Thanks snowolf for the awesome wax tutorials

almost had to go to the third page to find this thread..
how is everyone?
Canada got mercy ruled by Italy today at the world baseball tournament... and you guys wonder why we like hockey so much lol
Ryan Fitzpatrick ???
How 'bout bouncing Carr for Fitz?
(I like David but I fear the day he has to take real snaps under center, Hos he ain't)
For as slow as Eli is, he is superb moving a step here and there in the pocket.
Fitz is younger, more mobile, and has a livelier arm.
Ross? Lots of up and down sides. I know what we have with him and will be satisfied with him as depth. He is better the bigger the game is. His heart isn't always on the field, but it is when the big games come. Not saying he is great... he just doesn't play as hard all the time, and he has been solid in the big games.
I said it before and now I reiterate.
This will be a vastly different Giants Team come Opening Kick Off.
I think we lose Cruz, eventually...
wow, CBA, Salary Caps and Free Agency in general took a tremondous toll on us.
How have u guys been? What do you guys think of the offseason moves thus far? I'm prbly going to be into the giants year round, things do not look good for the Yankees.

The history of the Rugby World Cup is littered with some extraordinary figures, facts and a little fiction, writes Winston Aldworth
William Webb Ellis
This is the man who - so the story goes - started the whole show and gave his name to the piece of silverware that gives New Zealand sleepless nights.
The story of the Rugby School pupil who picked up the ball and ran with it is probably a myth, or at least heavily embellished. Nonetheless his name is fixed in rugby's folklore.
Were he playing today, Webb Ellis might have made a fine practitioner of the darker arts of the game: whatever he did was clearly cheating under the rules of the day, and his school reports noted he was a good cricketer, though one "rather inclined to take unfair advantage at cricket".
Catching the ball was allowed in football at the time, running with it was not. Webb Ellis allegedly did both in a match in 1823. It wasn't until 1876 that another former pupil of Rugby School, Matthew Bloxam, wrote a piece in the school's magazine, The Meteor, sowing the seeds for the myth. He said he had learned from an unnamed source that the change from a kicking game to a handling game "originated with a town boy or foundationer of the name of Ellis, Webb Ellis".
In 1880, Bloxham went further, describing how a player was allowed to catch the ball and immediately kick it on. "Ellis, for the first time, disregarded this rule, and on catching the ball, instead of retiring backwards, rushed forwards with the ball in his hands towards the opposite goal, with what result as to the game I know not, neither do I know how this infringement of a well-known rule was followed up, or when it became, as it is now, a standing rule."
The tournament's creators
It's no surprise that some of the biggest movements in getting the first Rugby World Cup under way came from Australia. ARU president Bill McLauchlin and his successor Nicholas Shehadie had seen how the rise of television and one-day matches had changed cricket forever. And - much like the SRU today - league and Aussie rules dominated the sports pages.
By 1982, Shehadie and New Zealand's Ces Blazey were pushing the matter at the IRFB. But they were pushing against old, established powers.
"We had a difficult time," Shehadie said. "We had a bad press. The whole matter was treated as something of a joke. There were times when we were treated patronisingly and were left with the feeling that this was "their" game, not ours, and that we in the Southern Hemisphere were doing it for our own purpose. We offered the TV rights to the BBC, for instance, for US$6 million. They did not take it at all seriously and we were told that the idea would simply not work."
Arms were twisted, drinks were shared and eventually the Cup got the IRFB's backing with only two dissenting votes: Scotland and Ireland.
Louis Luyt
The South African rugby supremo had these comforting words to share with the beaten sides at the post-tournament banquet in 1995.
"There were no true world champions in the 1987 and 1991 World Cups because South Africa were not there. We have proved our point."
The point being, presumably, that no one does boorish quite like a Boer.
The beaten finalists were the first out the door, leaving the post-tournament banquet in a fit of outrage - but not before Mike Brewer and other All Blacks had shared their thoughts about hospitality with Luyt.
Next out the door were the French and English. The buffet table still being open, the Australians are thought to have stuck around.
"It's disgusting. I cannot believe what he has said," Sean Fitzpatrick said later.
Adding to the fun, Luyt singled out Welsh referee Derek Bevan for special praise. Bevan blew the whistle during the Springboks' semifinal against France - a match the Boks won 19-15 after Bevan controversially denied the French a last-minute try.
To the Welshman's obvious embarrassment Luyt presented him with a 1000 pound gold watch, calling him "the most wonderful referee in the world".
"If everyone does not think that, I certainly do. I would ask him to step up and receive this gift as the outstanding referee in the World Cup," the Sarfu president said.
Suzie the Waitress
Like the Tooth Fairy and Santa, believing in Suzie the waitress can at first feel comforting, but ultimately reveals a childish naivety.
If our understanding of William Webb Ellis' deeds has become murky with time, pity poor Suzie, whose very existence is a matter of great debate.
For the record, there seems little doubt that many in the All Black camp suffered from food poisoning in the 1995 final. But a nefarious waitress? Unlikely.
Pinetree blames the milk: "I had a big night the night before," said manager Colin Meads. "The South African Rugby Union was shouting all the managers. And being Colin Meads, I thought I had to hold up my end and out-do all the other managers. "I was feeling not too fit the next day. And often when you are feeling like that you have a couple of glasses of milk that puts you right.
"So at lunchtime I had a couple of these big glasses of milk. And I reckon that is what did us, it was in the milk."
Meads said the illness that went through the squad cost the team their winning chance, but it was accidental. "Suzie is just a fictitious person as far as I was concerned. I don't think anyone was called Suzie."
Laurie Kay
Every little thing mattered in the 1995 final, and captain Laurie Kay, the pilot of ZS SAN "Lebombo" a 747-200 jumbo jet did his bit.
Kay's flyover - which started a drinking tradition in South Africa that involves, dangerously, taking a swig every time a 747 flies overhead - added to the sense of something other-worldly going on. Ask anyone who was at the match for their memories of the day and being straffed by a jumbo that was just 200 feet clear of the grandstand is high on the list.
Captain Kay was the airline's most experienced 747 pilot and also did stunt flying and aerobatic shows. He approached the ground at 140 knots, just above stall speed, before banging the throttles down and filling the stadium with noise.
Brian Lima
On a quiet day in Sydney, you can still hear the echo of Brian Lima's bone-adjusting thump on Springbok winger Derick Hougaard.
The Boks won the match, but it's fair to assume more post-match ice was applied to bodies in the winners' changing-room than in the Samoan one.
Lima's tackle was typical of the man known as "the Chiropractor". Some seasoned rugby followers at the ground thought for a moment they had actually witnessed a man being killed in a match (Hougaard, to his credit, played on).
Lima, a fleet-footed winger, was the youngest player at the 1991 tournament and by the time he rolled out for his fifth he had become a chugging, thumping midfielder and at 35, one of the oldest at the 2007 event.
A stalwart of Samoa, Lima gave his side his all for the best part of two decades.

In this "Gimme" day and age, at least they are not requesting CASH instead of gifts. I agree, wrapping paper is mostly wasted and they may be environmentally aware in requesting it not be used.

This has been fun and informative, as I knew it would be. The people on this board are always full of great ideas and information.
This is a very wonderful young women that is getting married.. I've known her since she was born... graduating this spring as a nurse. Her soon-to-be husband is also a very fine young man that's grown up right here among us.. Sings at church, is helpful and sweet to anyone who crosses his path. They are going to be a couple that all us can look at and still rejoice that there are such people still growing up in our world.
Going 'unwrapped' is a fine idea.. saves money, and is good for everyone and everything except the merchant who would love to sell us those things. I just had to make sure I wasn't misreading what I read!
Not only do I have my cards, but I also still have the paper from my wedding.. I think when I find them again (we're in the process of moving into our new home after the May 2011 tornado here)... Oh, just reminded me, I did have them.. who knows if I still have them???.. I may have waited too long to send those thank-you's and use my paper.. I had intended to use the paper by rolling it in small very tight rolls, gluing the rolls side by side, to the side of a large ice cream container, like the one they use commerically, trimming the top and bottom.. spraying on some sealer.. Making a trash container out of the trash! I thought it would be wonderful to use all that beautiful paper for something other than filling the landfill even back 43 years ago. If I do still have those cards, I will send a few thank you's to those I can still find and still remember. Good idea, thanks for suggesting it. I think that would be one of the funniest things I've done in a long time.
Thank you for all the input. I am going to give something that I've made, wrapped in either a part of the gift, or in a nice big (homemade) dish towel. I know them well enough to know they will love it. These two young people should pose for the cover of the Saturday Evening Post with the caption reading, "America's Next Generation" "not going to hell in a handbasket as we thought!"
Did any of you do something with all that wedding paper that came on your gifts? I, too, save paper and bows to re-use.. Our whole family lives here and some of that stuff has seen several rewraps! we have fun with re-wrap.
What a nice post about a lovely couple. I would guess it's environmental with them, too. Is lead still used in producing shiny colored paper? I hope not.
My reuse of my wedding and baby shower baby wasn't very inventive - just lined the drawers in the dressers with it. Probably used some for gifts. I no longer save paper unless it's special, large and unwrinkled, but I am fanatic about saving bows and bags. I won't buy bags, but I don't mind reusing ones that come my way.
I haven't heard of this, but maybe it is a green thing. I haven't been to a shower in years so I don't know what is in at the moment.
Several years ago I started making fabric gift bags. (I hate spending all that time wrapping and then have it torn off and thrown away in seconds.) They get passed around from year to year. I think there are some Christmas gift bags that have been around for abour 12 years now. My grown kids have even called and requested a certain size. I just need height, width, and depth to figure out how big to make them. I've done birthday gift bags that have then been used for marbles, hot wheels, and pj's for overnighters. One daughter loves using the pretty paper, anyway. But mine always comes in a bag. I purchase Christmas fabrics at the after Christmas sales.
I always reuse anything I can.. gift wrap, tissue paper, and especially ribbon and bows.. I'm way too thrifty not to reuse it. I hate to throw away anything. That's why I have just about anything anyone needs.. Well.... I did have before the tornado.. I was just in the process of trying to clean out and downsize my 'stuff'.. I guess God knew I had good intentions, but would never actually accomplish it, so He took care of that for me.
Thank you everyone for your input.. I think it will all be fine.. I headed out of town tomorrow.. so hubby will be on his own for some days while I help with kids.. He'll enjoy the time, and so will I..
Have a good week.. I'll try to check back in when I get back home.. Thank you for your help and encouragement.
I never heard of not wrapping gifts, the fun of it IS opening them. My 6 year old grandson loves to be at the showers or a family members birthday because everyone lets him open the presents
The idea may be not so new. Back in 1973 when I was getting married my husband-to-be's church held what they called a "Display Shower". The gifts were not wrapped. Most were delivered to the church building's fellowship hall by the stores where they were purchased. They were displayed on tables with little cards by each one so you could see who had given it. Even the kitchen stool I was given was placed on top of a table with a card by it. The purpose - as someone has mentioned - so that I was not trapped in the gift-opening chair, but could mingle with the guests. I was miserable! I was 19, knew none of these lovely people and was expected to walk around and talk to them! Oh dear - one of the most uncomfortable evenings of my life. I appreciated the idea, but ... I was SOOO shy! This was in Cordell, OK.
I have hosted two display showers at the school where I teach. Our assistant principal was going to be a new dad, but this would be child number 3. He had not been with us for the arrival of the other two children so we wanted to welcome the little one, but didn't want it to be a big deal. I set up tables in the teacher's lounge for people to display their gifts - many were packs of diapers. As people wandered through during the day they delighted over the gifts - or just read through the gift cards - those who wanted to visit with him could just step in his office. It worked. The other display shower was for the mom of premie twins. We held off hoping she could come back to school for a shower, but that didn't work out and the end of the school year was approaching so ... we had the shower without her! Put things in the library for that one and people oohed and ahhed all day. Then we packed things up and her dear friend delivered them to her. Worked for us. The asst principal new dad sent out a group email thank you. Don't know that that's much better than none at all. The premie mom sent precious thank yous to each of us - including a really sweet one to me for organizing the unusual shower.
Different strokes!
It is rather a tradition in my family, either that or wrapping in the Sunday funny papers. for us, it comes from the older generation's Depression era mind set: don't waste money on anything that will be thrown away. I suspect this is a new "green" awareness.

Such disputes inevitably send ripples throughout the international community. Both the Jordanian and Turkish governments protested Israel's plans for the new walkway. And in November 2010, the Palestinian Authority created a diplomatic kerfuffle when it published a study declaring the Western Wall was not a Jewish holy site at all, but part of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. The study contended, "This wall was never part of the so-called Temple Mount, but Muslim tolerance allowed the Jews to stand in front of it and weep over its destruction," which the U.S. State Department called "factually incorrect, insensitive and highly provocative."
Today, the scene is calm. At various spots on the wide, leafy plaza Palestinian men gather in study groups, reading the Koran. We ascend steps toward the magnificent Dome of the Rock—which was built during the same period as the Al-Aqsa Mosque to the south, between A.D. 685 and 715. The Dome of the Rock is built on top of the Foundation Stone, which is sacred to both Jews and Muslims. According to Jewish tradition, the stone is the "navel of the Earth"—the place where creation began, and the site where Abraham was poised to sacrifice Isaac. For Muslims, the stone marks the place where the Prophet Muhammad ascended to the Divine Presence.
On the east side of the Temple Mount's retaining wall, Meiron shows me the Golden Gate, an elaborate gatehouse and portal. Its provenance remains a subject of debate among historians, pitting the majority, who claim early Muslims built it, against those who insist it is a Byzantine Christian structure.
Historians who argue that the Byzantines didn't build the gate point to ancient accounts describing how early Christians turned the Mount into a garbage heap. The Byzantines, scholars say, saw the destruction of the Second Temple as vindication of Jesus' prophecy that "not one stone shall be left here upon another" and as a symbol of Judaism's downfall. But other historians counter that the eastern entrance to the Mount, where the Golden Gate was built, was important to the Byzantines because their interpretation of the Gospel of Matthew holds that Jesus entered the Temple Mount from the Mount of Olives to the east when he joined his disciples for the Passover meal. And in A.D. 614, when the Persian Empire conquered and briefly ruled Jerusalem, they took back to Persia parts of the True Cross (believed to be the cross of the Crucifixion) from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Fifteen years later, after defeating the Persians, Heraclius, a Byzantine emperor, is said to have brought the True Cross back to the holy city—passing from the Mount of Olives to the Temple Mount, and then to the Holy Sepulchre. "Thus you had two triumphant entrances: Jesus and Heraclius," says Meiron. "That's enough to explain why the Byzantines would invest in building that gate."
While Barkay is in the camp that believes the Golden Gate is an early Muslim structure, Meiron thinks the sifting project's discovery of Byzantine-era crosses, coins and ornamental columns supports the theory that the gate was built by the Byzantines. "Now we're not so sure the Temple Mount fell into disrepair," Meiron says. In addition, Barkay has found archival photographs taken during renovations of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in the late 1930s that appear to reveal Byzantine mosaics beneath the structure—further evidence that some sort of public building had been constructed at the site.
I visited Barkay at his modest apartment in East Talpiot, a Jewish suburb of East Jerusalem. The grizzled, chain-smoking archaeologist was born in Budapest in 1944, the very day the Nazis sent his family to the city's Jewish ghetto. After the war his father—who had spent a year in a Nazi forced labor camp in Ukraine—established the first Israeli delegation in Budapest, and the family emigrated to Israel in 1950. Barkay earned his doctorate in archaeology at Tel Aviv University. In 1979, exploring a series of ancient burial caves in an area of Jerusalem above the Valley of Hinnom, he made a remarkable discovery: two 2,700-year-old silver scrolls delicately etched with the priestly blessing that Aaron and his sons bestowed on the children of Israel, as mentioned in the Book of Numbers. Barkay describes the scrolls, which contain the earliest-known fragments of a biblical text, as "the most important find of my life."
Barkay and I get into my car and drive toward Mount Scopus. I ask him about Natsheh's charge that the sifting project is infused with a political agenda. He shrugs. "Sneezing in Jerusalem is an intensely political activity. You can do it to the right, to the left, on the face of an Arab or a Jew. Whatever you do, or don't do, is political."
Still, some criticism of Barkay stems not from politics but from skepticism about his methodology. Natsheh is not the only archaeologist to raise questions about the value of artifacts not found in situ. The dirt excavated by the Waqf is landfill from previous eras. Part of that landfill, Barkay says, comes from the Mount's eastern section, which the Waqf paved over in 2001. But most of it, he says, was taken from vacant parts of the Mount when an entrance to Solomon's Stables was blocked, sometime between the reign of the Fatimid and Ayyubid dynasties. Collectively, he says, the landfill includes artifacts from all periods of the site.

Operation Army Truck, Part 3Posted in Vehicle Reviews on November 5, 2004 Comment (0)
It's been a few months now that we've been living in camo while cruising around in our government surplus 1-ton Chevy. As we mentioned in the past two issues, we purchased our truck from the Government Liquidation Web site (www.govliquida tion.com), and then started transforming it into a daily-driven weekend warrior. For this final episode, we really only installed two things on the truck--a set of rock sliders and the new Warn 9.5 XP winch. But with these we can more easily get in the truck, get over obstacles, and get out of trouble.
At first we didn't think we needed rock sliders, but after installing the Craftsman toolboxes in the bed, we found that having a step up would help in getting to them. Some folks would settle for sideboards, but we really hate them, plus they give poor protection from rocks and other trail obstacles for the rocker panels. We found Ken Hanna of Hanna Quality Motorsports. Hanna does most of his fabrication for Toyota Land Cruisers, but was happy to take on our custom request. The final product is really cool, and goes great with our mean military machine.
With our less-than-fire-breathing 6.2 diesel we are just waiting to get ourselves in a predicament where all forward motion stops, especially if mud is involved. To prepare for this ahead of time, we decided that a winch was in order, and Warn recently introduced its 9.5 XP, its fastest winch to date. With a 6hp parallel-series-wound winch motor and three-stage planetary gearing, the XP has a claimed 7.6 feet-per-minute line speed under 9,500 pounds of load, which is more than a foot quicker than the next fastest winch Warn offers.
Boyce Equipment
If you are looking for parts for a military truck or an entire truck itself like our Camo Chevy, Boyce Equipment is another great option. Boyce has everything from running 1-, 1 1/4-, 2 1/2-, and 5-ton trucks to refurbished Dana 60 and Corporate 14-bolt axles. Boyce has been in the military truck and parts business for nearly 40 years and with that time comes both experience and a serious collection of whatever you need for your olive-drab 4x4 including engines, transfer cases, and electrical components. We've been to Boyce's shop in Ogden, Utah, and believe us when we say it's drool-worthy. Whether you are looking for Dana 44 axles for a lightweight machine, or 2 1/2-ton Rockwell axles for a monster truck, give Boyce a call and they will help you put the power to the ground.
The weight of our Army truck is just about on the limit of the 9.5 XP since it's hovering around 7,000 pounds (we recommend getting a winch that is rated at 1 1/2 times the vehicle weight), so we will always have a snatch block handy. And even though a snatch block cuts your forward speed in half, the XP's velocity should still make for a quick recovery.
With these final two installs, we feel we are ready for some weekend exploring and aggressive off-roading, and can still force our line in front of the many BMW-driving crazies on the Los Angeles freeways.
