I was so perturbed about the SW1911TA issues I posted about that when Shooters Depot offered me within $200 of what I had in the S&W, I couldn't pass up the opportunity. I traded for a SA TRP.
I'm just gonna say this out loud and up front, I really don't see what all the excitement over SA is about. And talk about over-priced. I mean I'm sure it's a good gun, but I really don't see anything exceptional about it, but nonetheless I am going to say some good things about it.

left side plus mag by ron.0000, on Flickr
I shot 100 rounds through it without a single problem. That's not a lot of shooting of course, but it's good that right out of the box, it had no problems in the first 100 rounds.
From handling and shooting it, it seems to feed rounds really well and positive.
The ambi thumb safety is nothing special but it has a good snick on and off. I think it's a bit heavy on the down stroke and may adjust that a bit.
And it's accurate, as you'll see shortly. Even though the trigger breaks at 6 lbs, it is a very clean break and that helps some to compensate for the heavy pull. The hammer is a really skeletonized which will provide a comparatively fast lock time.
And it's pretty in a tactical way. Speaking of tactical, I love the grip. The front strap is just a bit aggressive. It has 20 lpi checkering and if you were to shoot this enough, say at a school or just a lot in a session, I have no doubt you'd feel it before long. Most have 30 lpi on the front strap which is probably about as good without the bite over time. But, having said that, from a tactical sense, I like the front strap on the TRP. In a SD situation it will provide and outstanding purchase on the pistol and in a SD situation you won't be shooting enough to make your hand raw. So plus one for the front strap.
The MSH, is checked at 30 lpi. I guess they figure you don't need as much grip there?? Ahhhh, and the grips – outstanding grip to them. Not too aggressive but very grippy – another plus for the TRP.
I like mag chutes; they're tactical and gamey. They aren't for everyone, but the TRP comes with one and I like them; they really don't add that much size to the gun. A full-size 1911 is already big.
It comes with Trijicon NS in a Novak format and again I for the life of me can't figure out what all the ado is about Novak sights. The rear sight is made wrong for tactical purposes. Oh, I know, the 'no-snag' is played up, but that's about as deep as a sheet of paper. There's no way you can use the rear sight to rack the slide with one hand.
The TRP has a full-length guide rod and whether you approve or not, that's what it comes with, and this particular design is horrible. You have to have an allen wrench to remove the guide rod. If you can't remove the guide rod, field stripping is gonna be a chore. I believe it could be done, but it wouldn't be pleasant or easy.
Ok, lets go a little deeper. If you think Kimbers are over-priced, you just met your match. My Tactical Pro Kimbers have everything the TRP does – everything, and the Tactical Pro with Al frame goes for $1089 and the TRP for $310 more. And I didn't have to finish the parts in my Kimbers. Yeah, that's coming – about two hours of work to get the inside of the TRP right. And lots of pics to prove the point.
If I may interject this here, I've seen the insides of three Kimbers, a S&W E series, and one of SA's best, the TRP, and I'm here to say Kimber beats them all by far, it's not even close in fit and finish work. All the work I did on my S&W and on this SA TRP was already done on all three of my Kimbers, right up to bevels on the disconnector spring leaf.
Ok, for the pretty pics. Realize this is really small stuff and very hard to get a good focus on, but hopefully good enough for our purposes.
First, the rear of the trigger bow - not bad, but still scored. This is caused by the sharp edges of the disconnector that contact the trigger bow:
rear of trigger bow by ron.0000, on Flickr
I did polish this up a bit, but didn't make a pic of the end result.
Next the disconnector, first the side that contacts the trigger bow:

Partially polished:
bow face of disconnector with polish started by ron.0000, on Flickr
and finished (but not cleaned up yet :embarassed: ) :
polished disconnector - bow side by ron.0000, on Flickr
This didn't turn out so good - hard to get the camera to focus on the tips of the spring, but here's the spring leafs, esp. the disconnector leaf. The problem is, it's neither beveled, rolled, or polished.
spring as found by ron.0000, on Flickr
I did the work on it - took a while, but the pic didn't turn out in focus so I don't have a pic of the finished product.
Next is the slide edge that contacts the disconnector. I had to polish the disconnector face that contacts this point as well. Here's what it looked like. And notice all the machining marks.
Slide - disconnector run - as found by ron.0000, on Flickr
I went pretty light on this, but the edge is rolled a bit and it is polished:
disconnector run broken and polished by ron.0000, on Flickr
The main spring is not captured and has some big conglomeration of a hammer strut cap…never seen anything like it. I presume it's part of the 'safety lock' system. You suppose we have to pay extra for that? Kimber doesn't have that you know.
The top of the trigger had machine marks on it, small ones, but there. I polished them out.
After it was all done, and I'm not saying I'm finished, but close, the trigger pull weight dropped from a touch over 6 lbs to 5-1/8 lbs. Right at a lb lighter by just finishing the gun as SA should have. I will take it down to 4 lbs tomorrow.
Even at 6 lbs, the gun is a shooter. Here's some pics. These were after I got warmed up to the gun a bit.
Here's three shots @ 7 yds:
3 shots 7 yds #2 by ron.0000, on Flickr
here's 5 shots on another target @ 7 yds. The Shoot-n-C (black and yellow target) was at 15 yds. It wasn't bad, but I had pretty much lost focus by then:
Five shots a 7 yds by ron.0000, on Flickr

The South Carolina Primaries are less than a month away. I know that many of you have been paying attention but in many cases are still trying to sort out the candidates. All of the races are important but the Governor's race has the greatest potential to bring about real change to our broken system.
Most of you know that Jane Vaughters, Reggie Ebner, Dick Dewar, Steve Homoki and I have given our enthusiastic support to Nikki Haley. Many of you also have had an opportunity to hear and see Nikki and there is broad agreement that getting to know her is to love her. As a relative unknown Nikki has had to work very hard to get her message out. Her opponents have the career politician's usual advantages of name recognition and large war chests accumulated in previous campaigns. As I have said before "incumbents always win." We need a fresh new face to lead us into the future and Nikki will do a great job.
A major radio station in the upstate is currently conducting an election poll online. I urge you to go online and vote as the outcome will give her needed momentum in an area that is someone else's "turf": www.newsradioword.com/pages/6444079.php .This is a major Greenville talk radio station that carries a lot of weight in the upstate. I urge you to vote for Nikki Haley in the radio station WORD poll and in the primary election on Tuesday June 8.
I have learned that early voting at the Aiken County Elections Commission on Vaucluse Road has already begun. You can vote
Monday through Friday between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm,

Searching For Sugar Man follows the incredible story of Rodriguez, a folk singer/songwriter from Detroit, from about 1970-1998. His career in the States was less than stellar, despite being backed by some of the best producers in the business at that time (1970-73) who claim that his songwriting chops were some of the best they'd ever heard, deeming him the "poet of the street."
Unbeknownst to Rodriguez himself, his first album, Cold Fact, had become immensely popular in South Africa, which at the time was in the height of the apartheid. It became a voice for those who were ready to speak out against the government, and through its free and uncensored attitudes, it inspired a life-altering movement for citizens of South Africa. His second album, Coming From Reality, sold equally as well, bringing his running total to about 500,000 units sold in South Africa.
Years passed, and Rodriguez became more and more of a mystery to his South African fans, who had no idea that Rodriguez's fame was limited to their country. There was literally no information about him; no one had a good idea of what he looked like or where he was from or, the biggest question of all, how he had died. Many stories arose of Rodriguez's horrendous death—that he set himself on fire on stage, that he shot himself in the head—but all were untrue. After learning Rodriguez was still alive, it took the dedication of a record shop owner and a music writer to find him.
The film is backed by some of Rodriguez's best songs, and he projects a distinct James Taylor-Bob Dylan feel in his lyrics and acoustic melodies, with emotion welling so deep that you feel it right in your gut. The visual story is compiled through a combination of clips, using old photos and animated illustrations to paint the picture of Detroit in the '70s, intimate and emotional interview clips with friends, family, co-workers and fans, home movies from Rodriguez's first trip to South Africa in 1998, as well as beautifully shot scenic footage in South Africa and Detroit that help make a clear distinction between the two cities (and lives) of Rodriguez.
The big picture comes together by binding the strands of stories from both the U.S. and South Africa, each side knowing something the other one doesn't, until finally the right people meet and pieces start falling into place. Rodriguez himself doesn't even appear in the film until well into the second half, as he shuffles through the snowy Detroit streets, describes his modest life as a laborer and is slowly introduced to the life he should have had. He and his daughters are invited to Cape Town and are greeted with limos, photographers and a loyal legion of fans who fill six sold-out shows. Rodriguez, not fazed by any of it, slips seamlessly into his intense fame. For both he and his fans, this tour was better late than never.
Even after all of this, with the uplifting conclusion and seeing that Rodriguez is content with his double life, the question still remains as to how an artist like this could fly so far under the radar of the American music industry. When there are producers who have worked with the likes of Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Miles Davis and Bob Dylan saying that Rodriguez is just as good, or even better, than those icons, how could they not fight for him? It all remains a part of the enigma that is Rodriguez.
"Thanks for keeping me alive!" Rodriguez shouts to a crowd of thousands at his Cape Town show. That clip, the moment of collision into this new reality, shows that above anything else, this is a story about how music truly can change lives, of course for the artist, but also for those who can listen to an idea and run with it, who feel so connected to a person they know nothing about that it transcends even death.
Searching For Sugar Man is now in limited showings in New York and Los Angeles, and will be released on a wider scale later this summer. For New York cinema-goers, you can see the doc at the Angelika Film Center and at Lincoln Plaza Cinemas, and to hold everyone else over until August, check out the trailer above.

Virginia Sorensen is the only author from
Erie County and Northwest Pennsylvania to receive the distinguished Newbery
Medal award. Sorensen's Miracles on Maple Hill is written in multiple languages
and is read throughout the world.
Miracles on Maple Hill was awarded the 1957 John Newbery Medal "for the most
distinguished contribution to American literature for Children." One Newbery
Medal award is given each year by the Children's Service division of the
American Library Association. This recognition speaks volumes to parents and
educators. Newbery Medal winners are often required reading and many teachers
currently include Miracles on Maple Hill when teaching a unit on local Erie
history and authors.
Virginia Sorensen (born February 17, 1912 in Provo, UT; died December 1991) is
remembered as an acclaimed writer for both children and adults. Her, first
novel, A Little Lower Than the Angels, was praised for its accurate
psychological depiction of Mormon women faced with polygamy. Also celebrated was
The Proper Gods, a novel concerning the Yaqui Indians of the American Southwest.
Critics cite Sorensen's simple, direct prose and her gift for developing
realistic, convincing characters. Sorensen is credited with writing numerous
adult novels and in the 1950's, Sorensen began to write mostly children's
novels, which were also met with enthusiasm and recognition. Plain Girl and
Miracles on Maple Hill, were written while she lived in Edinboro, PA.
Edinboro Pennsylvania is known for its long winter, deep snow, and good maple
sugarin' seasons. While living in Edinboro from 1952 through the summer of 1958,
Virginia Sorensen wrote the wonderful children's book Miracles on Maple Hill.
"MIRACLES on MAPLE HILL is warm and real…packed with incident, country magic,
family love, and people to remember; it has substance and spiritual worth."
The New York Time Book Review
Sorensen used real Edinboro people as characters in her book. The author visited
the sugar house of Harvey and Amy Kreitz on Kreitz Road near Drake's Mills
between Edinboro and Cambridge Springs, PA and used the Kreitz sugarhouse as a
setting for Miracles on Maple Hill. Harvey Kreitz was Mr. Chris and his wife,
Amy, was Chrissie. The Kreitz's grandchildren, Amy and Karl Hipple were Marly
and Joe; and Marilyn Hilburn, Amy's best friend, was Margie. The illustrated
barn and house that Marly, Joe and their family lived in still stand on Kreitz
road near state route 86.
The school nurse at Edinboro School, Anne Biehler, became "Annie get-your-gun",
the truant officer in Miracles on Maple Hill. The local hermit, Tony Beigel, was
Harry, the hermit, the beekeeper who left a self-serve box at the end of his
steep mountain road: "Take honey. Leave money. Gone for the day." Tony kept a
large herd of goats and made carved wooden chains, "dozens of 'em, all sizes,
hanging all over the walls."
Virginia loved living in Edinboro and commented in one newspaper article that
she "wanted to stay here forever." From Virginia Sorensen's Newbery Award
acceptance speech, she writes:
"We arrived in Pennsylvania in September, and enjoyed passionately what happened
almost at once to the maple trees. That breathless, unbelievable inner light!
But soon they faded, the leaves fell and were burned along the village streets
on smoky, chilly evenings. Then, one morning, the piles (of leaves) were white.
Winter set in. Edinboro, old-timers told us with an odd, fierce pride, had the
worst winters in the world. The name the Indians had left in the valley,
Conneautee, meant, "Land of the Lingering Snow." And it did linger, from late
October on steady and white and deep. The village was isolated by muddy roads
and dangerous pavement and sudden blizzards."
Virginia Sorensen also knew and loved the Erie County area and recognized what
it had to offer her family and her work. Virginia would leave her desk for a
visit with Marian Kelly, the red-headed book –lady mentioned in Miracles on
Maple Hill. In her acceptance speech, she writes:
"The Erie County Bookmobile would come to Edinboro every other Tuesday at three
o'clock and park in front of the post office."
Virginia Sorensen even mentions Erie in Miracles on Maple Hill: "Joe know
Harry's not there now, doesn't he? About now, when winter sets in good, he
always goes to the Old Folks Home out by Erie. Chadwick, up his road, always
keeps his goats till spring."
In Miracles on Maple Hill, Virginia Sorensen writes of spring, family, love,
sugarin', and of the miracles Marly discovers each spring: the first sap run and
the beauty of nature. Most importantly, she writes of the miracles that Marly
hoped might happen to her father who had been a soldier and a prisoner of war.
He returned home to the family, a tired and broken man. Marly held on to the
hope that miracles would not just happen in the sugarbush, but in his heart.
For anyone who has been to a sweet, steamy sugarhouse, felt the coming of spring
in a sugarbush, tasted first run syrup, or has been moved by the sheer awe of
the Northwest Pennsylvania seasons and woods, reading Miracles on Maple Hill
captures what Virginia Sorensen knew and experienced about our Erie region.

MANUFACTURER: Nikon
Review This Item
Like all Monarch5 models, this NIKON Monarch5 20x56 Binoculars (7583) is built with Nikon's legendary ED glass lenses, which correct chromatic aberrations across the furthest limits of the visible light range and effectively compensate for color fringing. Even when observing objects that would make chromatic aberration the most apparent - such as adjacent whites and blacks - the images will maintain superior contrast and resolution thanks to the ED glass.
With 56mm objective lenses, the Monarch5 binoculars provide sharp, high-contrast views by allowing greater amounts of light to enter the optical system.
The Monarch5 binoculars are made with Eco-glass optics that are free of lead and arsenic, making them environmentally friendly. They are made with dielectric high-reflective multilayer prism coatings to ensure superior light transmittance uniformity across the visible light range for brighter images and more natural colors. They also have phase-correction coated roof prisms to increase resolution.
Nikon has manufactured the Monarch5 binoculars, as well as many other of its optics, with a high-eyepoint design. This provides a clear field of view for everyone, even when the user is wearing eyeglasses, with sufficient space between the user's brow and the binocular's eyecups. Multi-click turn-and-slide rubber eyecups make it easy to find the correct eye positioning to see the full field of view.
Nikon has included a tripod adaptor with the 16x56 and 20x56 models to give users a steady view when they need it most. The lightweight body of the Monarch5 binocular is made of fiberglass-reinforced polycarbonate resin and is covered in rubber armoring for added durability and ergonomics. It also includes flip-down rubber objective lens caps, a soft-to-the-touch neck strap is completely waterproof/fogproof.

st: [clustered] random draws
Thu, 28 May 2009 15:17:29 -0700
Dear Stata lister,
I am generating x and y coordinates based on random draws
from a uniform distribution with a minimum value of 0 and
maximum value of 100 - which has the effect of randomly
locating the data in a 100 by 100 square.
The question that I want to ask: I would like generate
clustered pattern from the generated x and y coordinates
[say 10 observations that close to each other forming a
cluster]. Is this something possible that I can do in Stata?
Thanks in advance,

Voices and sound effects missing[ Edited ]
Hey everyone,
I've got a problem with the audio while playing the last of us' campaign.
Sometimes the voices of the characters just simply miss, in the cutscene
here was nothing but the sound of the rain... No voices, no sound effects, no music.
In the opening the voice of that guy that helps you out went missing like the half of the time.
When glass broke, or a car crashed, it didn't give any sound effect.
Most of the time the sound works, and then is sounds really really perfect. But when it misses, it pulls me out of the game...
I've turned on subtitels now, so that I wouldn't miss any story components.
I did not turn anything off in the settengs, everything is on default.
Hope someone with maybe the same problem can help me out...
Or maybe a patch would work...
I searched on the internet, and I didn't find anyone else with this problem...
Edit: added spoiler tag
Re: Voices and sound effects missing
Uninstall the Patch 1.01 then your sound will work.. You won't be able to play on line for some reason, but that will fix the story mode sound issue .

Monday night at the High Noon Saloon fans of progressive rock and more adventurous music generally got a real treat. In addition to the great set of progressive rock covers by Madison's prog cover band, PROG, a trio still fairly new to Madison opened – Arp of the Convenant. AotC feature Mark Siegenthaler on keys (ARP and Fender Rhodes), Brad Townsend on bass, and Nick Zielinski on percussion. (He also had a laptop next to him.)
The band played a set which showcased many styles. It seemed to meander from jazz to fusion to Krautrock to space rock and then back and forth all over the map. And, if the format brings ELP to your mind, then know that AotC have little in common with the prog stalwarts. A bit here or there may remind one of "Rondo" live but there's no Hammond organ to be stabbed. Purely an instrumental endeavor, each member shone brightly. Siegenthaler eschews modern keys in favor of old analog synths. At times he played a melodic lead while at others he was culling unearthly sounds from his ARP that sounded as if they were heralding the arrival of Cthulu himself. Townsend had his bass running through an array of effects pedals which allowed him to alternately be half of the rhythm section and play melodic lines. Taking a page from the John Entwhistle book of stage performance, he barely moved the entire time. Oddly enough, it was left to Zielinski to banter with the audience between songs as the old synthesizers were readied for the next song. His droll sense of humor was quite the contrast to his energetic playing. Whether he was running away on the hi-hat or all over the modest kit, his playing propelled the music forward but he also knew when not to play and wasn't ostentatious.
They opened with a medley of "Bad Alternator" and "Turbo Christians" and played most of their eponymous album including "Jennifer", "Triple Tree", and "Arp Theme Song" which is my favorite tune of theirs at the moment. I like it so much, that I'm going to give you a clip of them playing it. The photo is an active link for the .mov file.
In addition, they also did Hammerhead's "Blow By". I was duly impressed by AotC and look forward to seeing them again. Their album is on my to-buy list.
After a change of equipment, PROG came out and put on another spirited show. They opened with "The Knife" by Genesis which gave Scott Eagle a chance to turn the amps up to 11. The rest of their set consisted of:
Cross-Eyed Mary
Living in the Past
Thick as a Brick
Siberian Khatru
And You and I
Starship Trooper
The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway/Carpet Crawlers/IT
Get 'Em Out by Friday
Eagle was all fired up and I suspect he has bruises on his chest from beating it with his trusty tambourine which he kindly lent to Michael BB during "Living in the Past". He was too busy playing the flute whilst wandering through the crowd making friends with every boy and girl. Plus he was kind enough to dedicate "And You and I" to The Dulcinea. During the set break, bassist Gordon Ranney came outside and chatted with The Dulcinea and me. We discussed with great consternation Scott's sudden launch into the opening riff of Asia's "Heat of the Moment", amongst other things. I guess it's fair to say that she and I are now fixtures at PROG gigs, though the band likes her better because, well, she's better looking than me. I hope to use her to influence them to add "Squonk" to their setlist. I subjected The Dulcinea to a battery of Genesis concert videos (1976-80) over the weekend and I think that, if I do that again a few times, she'll willingly lobby on my behalf.
The official PROG Dance Squad rushed to the front of the stage during "Roundabout" and shook their booties. If anyone doesn't believe me that dancing occurred, I will offer video as proof. Let me end with two observations: 1) Michael BB needs to wear his Rick Wakeman cape again. 2) Let Gordon sing lead! If you're not gonna let him sing lead, then at least do a song with some more intricate harmony singing. You guys needn't do "Knots" but how about "I've Seen All Good People"? "Don't surround yourself with yourself" – I can hear him now…

PRICE-TWO* GENTS EVENING EXPRESS KINSLOK HKOTnEBS---PUBLISHERS CURRENT COMMENT. A mas doesn't want to lose his voto,and when he does ho foels very badly about it, Avoid this by Rotting registered now. A failure ol the potato orop in Ireland, which ia said to bo imminent, .noana widespread distress and suffering among that people. The New York Tribune calls on the Central Park Commissioners to "take away those stables" from the vicinity of Grant's tomb. It is the old atory of looking the stable door at too late a stage of the proceedings. The supremacy of the English in the application of electricity to the propulsion ol vehicles ia likely ere long to be disputed in this oonntry. A company is being organized in Pittsburg to operate eleotrio cabs, the current furnished by storage batteries. Is eight weeks from now, when the new Croton aqueduet shall have been put in permanent operation, the daily water supply of New York city will be 430,000,-000 gallons, equal to 2G3 gallons per capita, What an important aid this will be to increased hoalth and oleanliness! BOYS IN BLUE AT BOSTON Still Pouring Into the Gay and restive City in Great Crowds. PRESIDENT HARRISON'S WELCOME Williasi K. Vanderbilt on Thursday handed his check for five thousand dollars to Charles Myers, a young man who while � in Mr. Vanderbilt's employ was terribly bitten by his employer's favorite mastiff. In addition Mr. Vanderbilt paid the expenses of the young man's illness, aggregating over four thousand dollars. Tbo vast numbor of applications for pensions under the new act is chiefly the result of the zeal of pension attorneys, who bavo been stimulated to extraordinary ardor by the certainty of obtaining a fee of ten dollars for each case from the Federal, Treasury. There are now not less than ^�haD5!�f flIimate BD.d .wator' 300,000 of these cases, with a probability that thorn will be 200,000 more. One of the costliest investments connected with coal mining is tho coal breaker. Where the mine is a large one a large breaker is needed, coating anywhere from 550,000 to $150,000. These expensive structures, built of woud mainly, are, as a matter of course, liable to be burned down at any time, entailing heavy loBsea upon the mine owners. The wonder is that large mine operators did not long ago construct these breikora of iron, thus rendering them comparatively fire proof. It ia announced that the large mining firm of Coxe Brothers & Co., are building the largest breaker in the anthiaoite coal region and entirely of iron, rendering it virtually indestructible by fire.

The Distinguished Party on Board the Flagship BaltimoTtt Taken In Charge by the Bay State Governor and Enthnsl astically Greeted by the Mnltltndes-Other Late News. Boston, Aug. 11.-The flagship Balti more of the Atlantic eq uadron, with President Harrison on board, arrived this afternoon, the other vessels of the squad ron firing a salute. President Harrison landed about 5:40 p. m., amid the thunder of oaunons, at ROwe's wharf, and was es oorted to the Hotel Vendome by tho First Battalion of Cavalry. The sidewalks and windows along the lino of march, which was nearly two miles in extent, wore packed with an enthusiastic multitude who greeted the President with hand clap ping and oheers. The President rode with Governor Brsckett in a oarriage drawn by four dark bays. He carried his hat in hia band and bowed right and left at the greetings of the throng. Behind him rode Secretariea Husk and Noble, and in a third oarriage were Private Seoretary Halford and members of the Governor's staff. President Harrison occupied the state suite of rooms at the Vendome. opening op the camps . At 10 a, m. to-day the meeting of the National Counoil of Administration was held at the Vendome.

Six comrades hare been sent to the city hospitil suffering slightly from From 1,200 to 1,500 veterans will bo eired for in this oamp alone. Religious services have been arranged for. The arrivals of veterans are inoreasing every hour. Camp Murdoak, with accommodations for 350 men, and the camps at tho new armory with accommodations for 1,200 men, were also officially opened this morning. THE BIG PATtADE TO-DAY. The great day, that of the parade, is twenty-fours off, and thanks to the rail* road strikers, scarcely half of the visiting postB have arrived yet; but notwithstanding this, the oity is filling up with via'tors who are pouring in from all parts of New England. Ono family, a husband, wife and three ohildreh, with a trunk in a hand oart, arrived yesterday from the wilds of Maine, after a week's tramp. Tbe hotels are full and many business houses have decided to close up all business for a week, letting out their entire establishments at fabulou9 prices for lodging and eating purposes. All tbe big publio buildings have been transformed into immense barracks, especially the big Mechanios Fair building on Huntingdon avenue, where, spread on the floor and galleries, are cots for five thousand. The announcement of the trouble on the Vanderbilt lines oreated something akin to ooneternation, but to-day trains have been coming through all right. All day long the streets have been blooked with people, and carriages went up to the exorbitant prioe of 10 for a few hours. It is expected that fully 35,000 members of the Grand Army will be in the parade to-morrow. THE OFFICIAL PROGRAM. The official program for the week's doings is as follows: Tuesday morning- The fJKnd parade, in which 35,000 members of the Grand Army and large delegations of military, naval and Sons of Veterans organizations will participate. It will be reviewed by the President, Governor, Mayor and General Alger. Tuesday evening-Grand jolly reoeption of the G. A. R. and Women's Relief Corps in Exhibition Hall. Wednesday morning-Opening of the Twenty-fourth National Enoampment in Faneuil Hall. Wednesday night-Grand G. A. It. oamp fire in Exhibition Hall. Thursday morning,-Continued session of National Encampment. Thursday evening,-Banquot to t?ie nel-egates of the National Encampment and invited guestj by State and city government. Friday-Excursion of all hands to Plymouth, with clambake accessories. Saturday-More receptions, excursions, clam bakes, etc., by Stite and city governments. ^ The weather outlook ia favorable. Thin afternoon two heavy thunder storms, rolled up iu the northwest and southwest horizonB, but over tho city they separated, and, while tho suburbs were deluged with rain, tho skies oloured off bright, with Boston's decoratioufi only s'.ightly dampened. LIVING BY THEIR WITS. Schemers of all Kinds Flock to Washington -Ways of the Lobbyists. Tbero are porhaps in the oity of Wash iugton moro schemes and devices for making money in a way that barely comes within tho bonnds of legality than in any other on the continent. One soheme which has been successfully worked for yoars is tbe office brokerage, and the numbor of people pursuing that catling, is a great deal larger than is ordinarily bus peoted. Only those who have it in their power to give positions or those who have influcnoe with such people can tell of the work done by these office brokers. One Arm employs several women, who are considered the most effective agents in that sort of work. Suppose a mania in searoh of a Government position. If the placo he Is after comes under the olvil service restriotiona ho prepares for and passes tho exmaination, but knows very well that hia chance of obtaining a position then is very little better than it was before. If be is posted on the system of aeonring a place he at once visits one of these "brokerage" shops. There he learns that by the payment of a bonus, whioh may be a good round cash advancement or an agreement t�. pay so much from his monthly salary in oaae he secures a position, that the influenoe and praoticed assistance of tbe brokers will be given him. The man la anxious to get on TJnole Sam's piy rolls, and usually accepts the terms offered. Then begins the work of the broker. A nice pathetic story is usually evolved from the man's history, no matter how common-place his life may have been. The oase, nine times out of ten, la placed in the hands of a woman, who oan accommodate beraelf to oiroumatancea and appear as tbo man's wife or sistor, as the details of the cooked-np story would suggest. Putting on a dress that will accord ith tbo condition of life she assumes sho sallies forth on her business. The Capitol, of course, ia the first place she visits. If tbe man is a citizen of the District ebo selecta some member of the District of Columbia Committee whom sho thinks would be most easily persuaded to espouse hia cause. She sends her card to the member, who, seeing a lady's name, gallantly responds. He la drawn ioto tbe recess of a convenienlent window, and thus subjected to all the disoreet blandishments these slick lobbyists have learned, tf the woman assumes the role of the applicant's wifo, she is usually dressed in mourning, every article of dreas being neat and in good taste. She tells the atory of her husband's miBfortunea and tho aervice ho haB done his country, expatiates upon his wonderful abilities, and hen winds up with a sad picture of their present condition-how the wolf of poverty is hanging about the door and the only possible hope of relief seems to lie at the hands of tbe Government. Generally the woman is successful and secures the indorsement of the Congressman, armed with whioh sho invades the other end of the Capitol. These agentB are "persistent," and when they swoop down into a Senator's committee room, there they stay until they have an interview with the Senator himself.! They do not place any confidence in the statements of the private secretary that the Senator is busy, and that he (the private seorettry) oan attend to the business imself. No, they want assurance from first sources, and the much-annoyed Senator has to listen to the pretty tale of woe and, often, to get. rid of tbe unfortunate, 1 ndorsos the application and sends his clerk with the woman to the Chief of Department under whom the position ia sought. The brokor has done his or hor work: tho applicant has been provided for and willingly pays over the cash agreed upon. The income of some of theae flrjns is said to be something handaome each month, and thousands of olerks in subordinate positions are working under this somi.legal blackmail. IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBER Considerable Business Transacted at the � Special Heating Last flight. OTJB LOOK ABOUND P0E LOCALS Another Show In Town, Wood's Museum is the name of a show that arrived in town last night. A feature of the show ia said to be a colored giant j eight feet high. Another Veteran Mole. Dauphin county now comes to the front with a veteran mule that is a mate for the one owned by Mr. Shaffer of this oity, and of whioh mention was reoently made in the Express. Tbe West Chester Sews says the Dauphin county mule is 47 years old, but notwithstanding his age, showsa groat deal of enduranoe whon driven by his owner, B. F. Balsbaoh. This ancient mule was in the servioe of the United States daring the Mexioan war. When the rebellion broke out be again entered the service of Uncle Sam, but before the war was over he was captured by the rebels and made to do duty for them. This i� why the letters "C. S. A.," as well as 'U. S," are yet plainly viaiblo whorothoy were branded on him more than a quarter of aoenlury ago. Tho Rlnohart filfeters. Manager Farnaworth Bays ho has aeourod one night from the management of "Tho Kinohart Siatcrs." The date will bo announced later on. It will be a month or so at least.

Kean's Office No Longer an Experiment-Another Veteran Hole. A special meeting of City Counoil was held last night at whleh all the members wero present. President Smith stated the meeting was called to hear the report of the Finance Committee and the Water Committee in reference to laying iron water pipe on Peaeb, Jones, and Fourth streets, and also for the tranBaotion of general business. The report of the committees was read, reoommending that the iron pipe be laid and that water certificates be issued to raise funds to meet the expense. The report was adopted as read. The petition of oitisens of the Third ward asking that the orossing at Church and Fourth street! be repaired was referred to the Committee on Streets and Bridges with power to act. Mr. Kistler offered a resolution which was adopted authorizing tho Water Commissioners to purchase Iron water pipe for extending tbe water system on Peach, Jones and Fourth streets. On motion of Mr. Seld the Fintnoe Committee was authorized to advertise for bids for water certificates in sums of (500 each to the amount of $5000, the money so realized to be used in extending the iron pipes of the water system. A communication from citizens of the First ward asking that a nuisance In the shape of a mud hole on East Bald Eagle street be abated, was referred to the Committee on Streets and Bridges. The petition of citizens of the First ward for a lamp on the north side of Bald Eagle street at Jail alley was referred to tho Police Committee with poworto ao*-� Mr. Haberstrob called tha attention of Counoil to the bad condition of East Park atreet and urged that it receive immediate attention. Tbe matter was referred to the Committee on Streets and Bridges. Mr. Scheid stated that a crossing on Henderson street waa in bad condition and the matter was referred to to tbe samo committee. Mr. Eistler called attention to the fact that when Counoil passed the ordinance relating to dogs at the last meeting a similar ordinance was already In existence, and on his motion Counoil voted to reconsider the vote on the ordinance. On motion of Mr. Beid the ordinanee adopted at the last meeting was repealed. Mr. Kistler then exhibited to Counoil a blank bond for the sum of one hundred dollars whioh tbe Treasurer had found in tbe vault or safe in the Counoil room. Several coupons had been clipped from the bond, tho matter was referred to tbe Finance Committee and City Solicitor. Mr. John Hoonan was present and permitted to make a statement in regard to a certain street back of tbe basin whioh he Claimed waa impassable for (earns. The Streeta and Bridges Committee was requested to look after the matter complained of. Mr. Herr, tho contractor .'who furnishes the crushed stone, made a statement to Council in regard to tbe weight of the stone as deoided upon by tbe special committee, and offered to compromise. The whole matter was then referred back to tho Special Committee. On motion Counoil adjourned. Deaths. James Fulton died Tuesday, AuguBt 5th, at his residenoe near Hubleroburg, Centre oounty, aged 73 years, 5 months and 7 days. The deceased was a brother of Councilman Samuel Falton, of this oity.

Superintendent ltrnngard Says There lias Been a Growth In Kdimitlooal Matters. Since my last annual report there baa boon a steady growth in educational matters throughout the county. I find muoh to commend and notalittlo to censure. If there is one thing more than another that merits tbe care and attention of tho American oitizen, it is our systom of public schools. They are the underlying atruoture of our government. By properlv eduouting the coming citizen we. strengthen and perpetuate the boon of free government as handed down to us by our patriot fathers. Tbree new school houses were built during the year, one in Allison, one in Colebrook and one in East Keating. They were all furnished with patent seat! and desks. There are still twenty-seven rooms with out suitable furniture. We trust these may soon be supplied. Modern improve menta are just as necessary in tho school room as anywhere else. Slate surface, in a number of instances, were made to take tho place of the old blackboard, which was oftentimes unfit for use and a souroe of discouragement to teacher and pupil. Maps, charts, and dictionaries were purchased in a number of districts. A piano was purchased for the Renovo High Sohool and an organ for the Loganton schools. The necessary apparatus should be placed into every sohool room and tho teacher required to nse it. Our school yards should all be surrounded with neat and durable fences. The school grounds should be planted with trees. These things would add ma. terially to the welfare of every community, The teaobing foroe iuoluded thirty-four Normal graduates besides fifty-four who havo had more or less training at our State Normal sohools. This we consider praiseworthy as well as noteworthy. The State incurs great expense in maintaining these schools and our young people, especially thoae who expect to teach, should avail themselves of the advantages whioh they offer. A more direct benefit results from the work of the trained than tho untrained teacher. It is true, many are failures with all suoh advantages, but it is equally true that without the trainingthey would be still greater failures. A few of our teaohers are fairly well paid. The mass ol them are not Twenty or twenty-five dollars doet not, mil not, and can not secure efficient teaching aervice anywhere. With the assistance the State gives, teachers' salaries should be increased and more' apparatus provided for our schoo.'s. Any other disposition of this fund is virtually in violation of the spirit sf the law. There should also be somo discrimination in fixing tbe salaries of teachers. It is not good economy, and is practical no where else, except in fixing teachers' salaries, to pay the novioe as much as the tried, faithful teaoher, with an experience of from five to twenty years. In almost everything else skilled labor roceivee due consideration and recognition. Neither should the numerical size of tbo sohool have anything to do with the grading of salaries. It requires as muoh time, and teaching ability to teaoh ten pupils as forty pupils. Oce district had the two-term system thus virtually not according to all of school age tho benefit of the minimum form. In rural districts many ot the larger pupils are necessitated to labor on the farm, and schools should be kept open that they too, may have the advantage of as muoh of the wbolo term as possible. The greatest good to tbe greatest number should be made tbe rule invariably. A number of local institutes were held, and with one exception, well attended. Bad roads and inolement weather hindered a few from being in attendance. The County Teachers' Institute was held at Look Haven, Dec. 17-21. Nearly all the teachers were enrolled. The instructors wore Dr. Edward Brooks, Profs. F. V. Irish, D.,B. Simpson and D. C. Murphy. Evening lectures and entertainments wore given by Dr. Edward Brooks, Trot. S. T. Ford, and John R. Clarke. Tho teaohers' reunion was held on Monday evening. The music was directed by Prof. E. E. Adama. One of the pleasant features of tho institute-day and evening- was the very exoellent singing of Miss Jean Glenn. Thus has ouded a year of hard and incessant toil-a striving to lift sohool and sohool work to a higher plane. While our aucooss in some departments of the work did not measure up to expectations we believe that even failure after long striving is grander than succeas without striving. Much has been done iu the past but wo bolievo that even more has been left undone. May God aid us all-directors, teachers, and patrons to livo and labor in tbo development of tho coming niau and woman. May tho [standard of exoellonce in all that ia good, and useful, and beauti:ul fully muuBUre up to the intelligence wc claim. Iu conclusion, I wish to thank tho Department for counsel received: tho local press lor publiahipg educational matter; the direotora aud teachers for their co operation; and to patrous and pupils for many kindnesses bestowed. D. M. BRTJNOAnn, County Superintendent. THE GREAT RAILROAD STRIKE j CALL FOB COUNTY CONVENTION. The New York Central Moving Freight and Passenger Trains. FIEST THB0UGH TRAIN P0S ALBANY Grand Master Sweeney Declines to Call Out the Switchmen's Brotherhood to Assist the Strikers, on the Qronnd That it >s ~ Knights or Labor Affair, and This Action DeBtroys Any Uope of Success. New York, Aug. 11.-The first train of freight forwarded from thiB oity over the New York Central road since the trouble in that line oocurreii moved out of the yard at Sixty-fifth street at 0:15 o'eloek this morning. The work of making op the train had been going on for an hour and a quarter previously, and the train was made up of forty-fonr cars nnder the direction of Yardmaster Mitchell. All freight shipped was of a perishable nature, and neither the preliminary work nor tbe actual forwarding was marked with any excitement or difficulty. The train was bound for Albany with John O'Brien as engineer and Fred Smith firemen. Tbe departure was watched by 100 men, who stood in adjacent vacant lots. Two hundred policemen were on band prepared to meet any trouble that might arise, but there was practically no work for them to do. I webb asks fob troops. Vi* President Webb, of the New York Central, this morning declared that tbe report that the firemen had joined the strikers was nntrue. "Tbe firemen hare not struck," he said, "and all the passenger trains are running all right and every one of them left here fully manned. Tbe signal towers are also /ally manned," be said, "and the men changed their shift this morning as though no strike had ever occurred. In fact," oontinned Mr. Webb, "everything is beautiful all along tha road except at Syraouse. At this point the railroad is not getting sufficient protection, I havo telegraphed Qovernor Hill asking him for militia to protect our employes." the strike at ASJtKD._____ During this afternoon and evening the Grand Central depot was as quiet as though no strike had occurred. Trains were continually arriving and leaving in the usual manner and the entire bnsiness of the depot bad resumed its normal condition.

Glass Tile Installation
I recently purchased 1x1 glass tiles that come on a 12x12 paper mounted back. I have read that it is recommended to use a substrate, is this necessary?
The tile is for a kitchen backsplash that is not a moisturous area. Can I apply directly to the dry wall?
It is a wrap around wall, what is the best area to begin installing the tile?
Thank you for your help!
yes you can set the tile with thinset (white) to the drywall. do not use mastic with glass tiles, it will take weeks to dry. Start at the corner where it turns.
The glass manufacture will state what thinset they want used with their product.

'Something's Drastic' is a collection of poems by Michael Rosen, published by Collins as part of their 'BIG CAT' set of banded early reading books. (Band 12, Copper - aimed at ages 7-8)
I remember reading and meeting Michael Rosen when I wa about 5 and it's been a pleasure to read this collection with my daughter of the same age and her younger sister. We had great fun with it, most of them my daughter could read herself and the pair of them laughed out loud at most of these ultra modern, realistic and cheeky poems!
It includes 18 snappy, funny poems including my girls' favourite - Michael Rosen's take on 'Hey Diddle Diddle' where the dish runs away with the chocolate biscuits.
I really think there is a wide age range for this book as some poems are simple and short while others take a little more thought and higher level development of sense of humour, sarcasm and irony.
Some of you will have seen Big Cat Collins books brought home from school and will probably agree that the best thing about these is that they include pages at the back with ideas to help with teaching reading and getting the most out of discussing stories etc. This one includes a 'feelings wheel' at the end which highlights some phrases from the book and the child has to choose the segment of the wheel that fits - e.g happy, funny, scary and so on. I thought this was a nice touch and really encouraged my daughter to go back and find the corresponding poem and re-read it to decide.
It's well illustrated too (by Tim Archbold - much like Quentin Blake style) which appealed to both girls.
At the end it got the seal of approval - "can we read it again tomorrow?"
Definately recommended as something different for developing reading skills instead of the usual basic stories.
Thanks for letting us try it!

France bombs Mali rebels, African states ready troops
By Bate Felix and John Irish
BAMAKO/PARIS (Reuters) - French aircraft pounded Islamist rebels in Mali for a second day on Saturday and neighboring West African states sped up their plans to deploy troops in an international campaign to prevent groups linked to al Qaeda expanding their power base.
France, warning that the control of northern Mali by the militants posed a security threat to Europe, intervened dramatically on Friday as heavily armed Islamist fighters swept southwards towards Mali's capital Bamako.
Under cover from French fighter planes and attack helicopters, Malian troops routed a rebel convoy and drove the Islamists out of the strategic central town of Konna, which they had seized on Thursday. A senior army officer in the capital Bamako said more than 100 rebel fighters had been killed.
A French pilot died on Friday when rebels shot down his helicopter near the town of Mopti. Hours after opening one front against al Qaeda-linked Islamists, France mounted a commando raid to try to rescue a French hostage held by al Shabaab militants in Somalia, also allied to al Qaeda, but failed to prevent the hostage being killed.
French President Francois Hollande made clear that France's aim in Mali was to support the West African troop deployment, which is also endorsed by the United Nations, the European Union and the United States.
Western countries in particular fear that Islamists could use Mali as a base for attacks on the West and expand the influence of al Qaeda-linked militants based in Yemen, Somalia and North Africa.
"We've already held back the progress of our adversaries and inflicted heavy losses on them," Hollande said. "Our mission is not over yet."
A resident in the northern city of Gao, one of the Islamists' strongholds, reported scores of rebel fighters were retreating northward in pickup trucks on Saturday. Continued...

This blog has seen a fair amount of activity regarding the ITMU/CPU scan issue recently surfaced for SMS 2003 which caused CPU stalls and performance issues. Two distinct issues have been confused into what has often been viewed as a single problem and which has further been confused by what should be an expected CPU usage of up to 100% during the Scans.
This can become confusing so please stay with me as I attempt to disentangle the underlying issues, solutions, and alert you to an update which is on the horizon for the ITMU.
Performance Stalls:
The first issue involves performance stalls during the scan where the system performing the scan locks up and is unusable until the scan completes. This issue has been resolved per the information contained in KB 924148. With the CAB file changes introduced in the August CAB file release the issue which caused the Stalls or Hangs should no longer occur. This information has previously been noted on this Manageability blog.
Performance Duration:
The second issue involves the performance duration where scans can take an excessively long period of time to complete. This issue is independent of the SMS CAB file issue and is detailed in KB 916089 which was published on October 16th. Performance improvements which are independent of changes to the SMS ITMU Scan Tool may be realized by updating the MSI.DLL update per this KB article.
· KB 916089: FIX: When you run Windows Update to scan for updates that use Windows Installer, including Office updates, CPU utilization may reach 100 percent for prolonged periods
· http://support.microsoft.com/kb/916089
CPU Usage:
Finally, the 100% CPU issue. This usage is expected. As previously noted in this blog and in the Knowledge Base, the fixes provided by the CAB file changes per KB 924148 will not address the CPU usage numbers as scanning is a very CPU intensive process. Regardless of the CAB file being used, the scan technology, or the presence of the MSI.DLL update from KB 916086, scanning will likely continue to consume the available CPU. This should be fine as with the change to the CAB file structure and through the updated MSI this usage should no longer trigger a system hang and should be of a reduced duration.
But this is not the end of the story.
ITMU Update:
With the changes introduced to the CAB file to address CAB file limitations an ITMU update will be needed. Details of the pending update are noted in KB 926464.
· KB 926464 A new version of the Windows Update offline scan file is being released
· http://support.microsoft.com/?id=926464
This has an impact across current scan and patch solutions and while the release date of the update is not yet clear, we wish to provide you as much early warning as possible. Please review KB 926464 to understand what you can do now to prepare for the expected November release.

The Inner Voice
One way to look at life is as a series of chapters in a book. As we deal with new situations, some good and some not so pleasant, it is important to keep in mind that here we are again at a new chapter. We don't have all the answers as to what lies ahead when we might be a recipient of a lot of money, or get news of a terrible illness or lose a job or receive a new job or lose a loved one or share happiness when a new baby is born. It is all with an understanding that we cannot know what is ahead.
We have to remain open and flexible to be present in our awareness. If we are so focused on the future or on our emotions, we can forget to lock the door or miss a great opportunity. We can learn to live happily with trust in God without the answers. If we keep our hearts open, we will instinctively know what we need to decide as situations change and need to be addressed.

Ex-cop: TASER hit showed good judgment
Officer made an arrest after responding to reports of a fight that had dispersed or never happened
By Stephanie Farr
The Philadelphia Daily News
COLWYN, Pa. — In interviews with detectives, a former Colwyn Borough cop said he was "using my better judgment" when he hit a teen who was shackled in a holding cell with a stun gun earlier this year, instead of using pepper spray.
Former Colwyn Police Cpl. Trevor Parham began his bench trial Thursday in Delaware County Court on simple-assault and official-oppression charges for unlawfully arresting and stun-gunning 17-year-old Da'Qwan Jackson.
The April 24 incident rattled the tiny borough of 2,500 residents that has been mired for years in racial and political tensions.

What an amazing weekend! Our team spent last Friday and Saturday in St. Louis working with two great organizations. On Friday, we arrived at Sun Ministries, a team of missionaries dedicated to sharing God's love and serving their community and the people around them. Sun Ministries works in Hyde Park, an inner city St. Louis neighborhood. Our team got a tour of the many buildings run by Sun Ministries, which included a wood shop and sewing center that provide the homeless or unemployed with jobs and a steady source of income. They plan on later helping ex-convicts start small businesses, as well as opening an auto shop and a coffee shop.
While staying at Sun Ministries, we got the opportunity to work alongside the missionaries and see and hear firsthand what their ministry is about. Some of us helped set up a community garden for the neighborhood. Others worked in the wood shop and sewing center, making benches and purses out of recycled materials that the ministry sells to support itself. At night, we got the chance to worship and pray with the missionaries and hear more about their lives and the stories behind their ministry.
The next day, we arrived at Covenant House, a home for abused and/or homeless teenagers and young adults. Covenant House provides shelter, food, job training, and GED classes to the teens living there. To end the weekend, we got to play games and eat pizza with some of the kids living at Covenant. Meeting them and hearing some of their stories was an incredibly fun and eye-opening experience!
Throughout the whole weekend, it was easy to see God at work. Our team got countless opportunities to learn, to serve, and most importantly, to love the people around us.We met people who had given up everything to share the love of God with the broken, the overlooked, and the outcast in our community. I can't imagine a clearer picture of what it looks like to follow Jesus!

"Between the 24th and 25th week, something happened, and she wasn't growing how she should have been," says Danyelle. "She was maturing, just not growing." During Emilia's two weeks at the NICU, she developed a rep for being feisty. She demonstrated a remarkable ability to grip firmly anything within reach, and she was able to digest food after just two days, though doctors predicted it could take six. She inspired the NICU unit, which rallied around her. "She had an amazing personality for someone so tiny," Danyelle recalls. "She had an impact on the nurses and everyone in the NICU."
On her 13th day, Emilia suddenly became pale and her blood pressure dropped. She was diagnosed with sepsis, a blood infection, and ultimately was too small to fight it. After a few tense hours, she was gone.
"The world goes on outside, but we were destroyed inside," says Chris. "She was with us for 13 days, and we look at it as the greatest gift we were ever given, and the NCIU gave us that gift. She wasn't just a 'baby in Room B' — they loved her, they knew her. We want to pay them back, and this [the non-profit] is a great way for Emilia to help all her little friends in the NICU."

Where I stayed
To be quite honest with you, I didn't know at all what to expect when I signed up for our afternoon's San Gimignano's optional excursion. You see, I hadn't read the brochure that Ernesta had handed out to us thinking that a surprise would probably be nice as I left it to destiny! After all, weren't we in Tuscany and wasn't the area supposed to be outstanding kind of thing! I was soon about to find out whether I had made the right decision or not!

(Rick Hickman / Special to the American Press)
Last Modified: Friday, December 27, 2013 11:22 AM
By Frank DiCesare / American Press
The number of individuals treated for injuries related to Friday's Axiall explosion has risen from 12 to 18.
Heather Hidalgo-LaFleur, director of communications at Christus St. Patrick Hospital, said 18 people were treated for injuries related to the incident. She declined to comment on the nature of the injuries, but added that all of the patients have been released from the hospital.
In an email Friday to the American Press, DEQ spokesman Tim Beckstrom said EMS workers were called to the scene and that people were complaining of respiratory problems. Beckstrom's email also stated that "unknown amount EDC dichloroethane, hydrochloric acid and vinyl chloride were released to atmosphere."
Beckstrom also sent a copy of the email to Greg Langley, press secretary at the state DEQ office, and Jean Kelly, the agency's public information officer.
DEQ officials arrived on the scene Friday to conduct air tests outside Axiall's plant and found a "non-detect" reading. The Calcasieu Parish Office of Emergency Preparedness issued a shelter in place at Western Heights Elementary School shortly after 2 p.m. for Westlake residents. DEQ officials went to the school to conduct air monitoring tests, which also produced "non-detect" readings. The shelter in place was lifted less than an hour later.
EDC dichloroethane, also known as ethylene dichloride, is a chlorinated hydrocarbon used in the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Axiall's website states that the company "uses nearly all of the EDC that we produce in our production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)."
The Environmental Protection Agency's toxic chemicals webpage states that "inhalation of concentrated ethylene dichloride vapor can induce effects on the human nervous system, liver and kidneys, as well as respiratory distress, cardiac arrhythmia, nausea and vomiting. Chronic (long-term) inhalation exposure to ethylene dichloride produced effects on the liver and kidneys in animals."
Vinyl chloride is also used in the production of PVC. The EPA's toxic chemicals webpage states: "Acute (short-term) exposure to high levels of vinyl chloride in air has resulted in central nervous system effects (CNS), such as dizziness, drowsiness, and headaches in humans. Chronic (long-term) exposure to vinyl chloride through inhalation and oral exposure in humans has resulted in liver damage. Cancer is a major concern from exposure to vinyl chloride via inhalation, as vinyl chloride exposure has been shown to increase the risk of a rare form of liver cancer in humans."
The EPA has classified vinyl chloride as a Group A, human carcinogen.
Hydrochloric acid is used in the production of dyes, fertilizers and chlorides. EPA's toxic chemicals webpage states that "acute (short-term) inhalation exposure may cause eye, nose, and respiratory tract irritation and inflammation and pulmonary edema in humans. Acute oral exposure may cause corrosion of the mucous membranes, esophagus, and stomach and dermal contact may produce severe burns, ulceration, and scarring in humans. Chronic (long-term) occupational exposure to hydrochloric acid has been reported to cause gastritis, chronic bronchitis, dermatitis, and photosensitization in workers."
The EPA's webpage further states that the agency "has not classified hydrochloric acids for carcinogenicity."
Sgt. James Anderson, state police Troop D spokesman, told the American Press on Friday that motorists drove through "the product" as it was coming through the smoke along Interstate 10 and were sent to the hospital for observation.
Axiall's explosion occurred Friday afternoon in the plant's Number 2 furnace of its PHH unit, which holds vinyl chloride and hydrochloric acid. A huge plume of smoke could be seen for miles billowing from the plant. The company's internal fire department responded to the blaze, extinguishing it within an hour, and issued an all-clear notice shortly before 3 p.m. on Friday.

IN the summer of 2011, when Jordan Henderson first signed for Liverpool Football Club I admit to being remarkably disturbed by how much we paid for him.
I knew absolutely zero about the guy. That isn't because of my ignorance of anything outside of the club I've loved since I was born, but more so the fact that his rise had been pretty unremarkable.
Here was a lad, playing in the first-team at his home-town club – Sunderland – who was impressing many with the fact that he was a regular in the side at a young age, but wasn't exactly pulling up trees.
After what was a very, very – very – mediocre first season, Jordan has been slightly more impressive this year. A run of some improved performances was capped by maybe his best in a Red shirt against Norwich just over a week ago, which had many waxing about his brilliant strike to get us up and running.
In the past week I've heard many paying him tribute with comparisons to Lucas in the sense that he has overcome his nay-sayers in the same way.
Unfortunately, I'm here to downplay things a little for you. Sure, he's been pretty decent lately, but he is not even close to the same ball-park as Lucas just yet.
Following his signing some years ago, Lucas was practically hounded out of the club, such was the extent of the outright hatred the midfielder received from our fans. I was often appalled at his treatment, such was the unwarranted vitriol aimed at the young Brazilian in his early days.
However, Lucas gradually won people over. It was a combination of hard-work, adapting to his cultural surroundings and getting used to Premier League football. The icing on the cake for many was an early season performance last year when Lucas utterly dominated Man City's expensive midfield, more or less single-handedly. It's a performance I will remember fondly for years – he was like a force that literally could not be reckoned with on that day.
He is so important to the club (and the fans, too) now that whenever he even slightly limps during a match, we all cringe. That is how you know when you've got a player that is one of the first names on the team sheet every week.
And it is for his reason that I say this: Jordan Henderson is not quite there yet. Sure, his second season has started somewhat more impressively, but a couple of goals and looking a little bit more like you're 'up for it' doesn't mean you've made it at this club.
I've been much more impressed with the midfielder's attitude this season; he appears to understand much more what is expected of a Liverpool footballer but he's still a long way off being made of the right stuff.
He clearly has the ability and his technique is quite impressive (for an English player!) but I want at least a full season of impressive performances before I'll equate him with players like Lucas, Gerrard and Suarez.
So, until the season is over, he's still on a trial period for me, particularly given the hefty sum we splashed out on him, but if he continues to improve and carries on chipping in the odd assist and goal then I will happily accept him as a player I misjudged. Until that day arrives, though, the jury (or mine, at least) is still very much out on 'Hendo'.

I don't wear a ton of eye makeup but do wear some... This takes it off just fine. I use it on my whole face before washing with a cleanser. I have never been a makeup remover user but I find this really is gentle and non oily enough for me to use every night. It soothes my skin and doesn't smell like witch hazel yay! It hasn't irritated my skin at all and I love the smell. I will purchase again.5
